The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1547

00:00:00 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters for, what is it, Wednesday?

00:00:04 God, I don't know what day it is. The 11th of November?

00:00:06 It is Wednesday, my day.

00:00:07 Oh, thank God. I'm joined by Connor and Harry.

00:00:09 Hello.

00:00:09 And today we're going to be talking about the plot to steal English identity,

00:00:13 DC finally firing James Gunn.

00:00:15 Yes.

00:00:16 And how it's always the ones you most suspect. I tell you what, man, this reckoning of 2000s culture.

00:00:23 I've been enjoying it, haven't I, Harry?

00:00:24 Yeah, he's really been taking a torch to it.

00:00:27 To the point where me and Rory were having to get into a minor argument with him to explain that no actually there were some parts of Come Fly With Me that were really funny.

00:00:35 Hated it all. Hated it all.

00:00:37 I love me IT crowd. Love me mighty boosh.

00:00:41 Hated that.

00:00:42 Love me Come Fly With Me, simple as.

00:00:45 No, no, no. 1.00

00:00:46 But they were all a bunch of sex pests. 0.99

00:00:47 It's literally, it's going to be like in bloody Clockwork Orange where I pin your eyes open and just make you watch Little Britain on repeat. 0.98

00:00:55 I was never a big fan of Little Britain.

00:00:58 I was never a big fan of Little Britain, so I'll give you that one.

00:01:04 Watching Little Britain until I laugh. Anyway, let's...

00:01:07 You can make me watch Peep Show. I'll accept that, because I love Peep Show.

00:01:10 Yeah, but even then, there was something pathetic and subversive and sordid about Peep Show. 0.98

00:01:18 That was the joke, is that you're following pathetic, sordid characters. 0.99

00:01:21 It's like marinating mediocrity with us. 0.99

00:01:23 You're laughing at them, it's called the British sense of humour

00:01:25 It's like a well-noted divide

00:01:27 But the in-betweeners is really different

00:01:29 Because at least the in-betweeners

00:01:30 We'll get to it 1.00

00:01:32 The in-betweeners are absolutely pathetic people 1.00

00:01:35 There's a lot in it 1.00

00:01:36 Alright lads, our

00:01:38 We'll get to it another time, later on in this podcast

00:01:41 Anyway, right

00:01:42 So let's talk about the plot to steal English identity

00:01:44 Because weirdly, it's going full speed ahead

00:01:47 Now I suspect that the reason that they're doing all of this

00:01:50 Is because of you

00:01:51 The online right

00:01:52 the people are like well hang on a second i don't consent any of this stuff and you have made your

00:01:57 voices so prominent in british discourse that they are now taking action in parliament against you

00:02:04 to spite you which i think is really interesting now of course it really began in the sort of

00:02:09 headlines with uh poor old swella braverman who's pretty much the only reform person i actually

00:02:14 quite empathize with i think she seems quite nice except in foreign policy but yes sure but like on

00:02:19 And, you know, weirdly, she's the person who's been holding the line on this.

00:02:23 Nigel Farage has capitulated on it.

00:02:25 Zia Yusuf has capitulated on it.

00:02:27 Obviously, Jemric and all the rest.

00:02:29 Jemric actually backed her up on this one.

00:02:30 Oh, did he?

00:02:30 He went on Dan Wharton's show, of all things.

00:02:32 Oh, okay.

00:02:32 I didn't see that.

00:02:34 But Swallow Braveman has been enduring struggle sessions all across British media 0.59

00:02:41 because she's like, excuse me, I think I might be Asian.

00:02:45 And they're like, no, you're not. 0.95

00:02:46 You're English. 1.00

00:02:46 How dare you say that you're an Asian?

00:02:48 And she's like, no, no, no, I mean, really, I look in the mirror, I'm certain my ethnicity is Asian.

00:02:53 It's the Joe Biden thing of you ain't black all over again.

00:02:55 It really is. 1.00

00:02:56 It's weird, like, the trans ethnicity. 1.00

00:02:59 And they're like, no, no, you are a transgender man. 1.00

00:03:01 And she's like, no, I'm a woman. 0.56

00:03:03 I'm an Asian woman.

00:03:04 Draining the melanin from the Chang Tsung.

00:03:06 Can I please be Asian? 1.00

00:03:09 And they're like, no, you can't. 1.00

00:03:10 No, you absolutely can't.

00:03:11 And she's, like I said, she's been holding the line on this as unpopular as it's become. 1.00

00:03:16 Anyway, because this has become the discourse, they've realized, aha, we can stick it to the chuds doing this. 1.00

00:03:23 We can stick it to those goddamn English football hooligan Tommy Robinson supporting England flag-waving chuds. 1.00

00:03:31 Because now you don't have to be white to be English. 1.00

00:03:34 This is a chap called Josh Babarindi?

00:03:38 Isn't that a Beach Boys song?

00:03:40 I'm sure. It's a northern name, isn't it, Harry?

00:03:43 Maybe from around Sheffield.

00:03:45 Right, yeah, yeah.

00:03:46 It probably is, actually, because of the immigration.

00:03:51 Anyway, this is what this Liberal Democrat OBE MP had to say about it.

00:03:56 He's an MP for Eastbourne.

00:03:58 Isn't that an insanely white area of the country? 0.97

00:04:01 I'm going to get the ONS.

00:04:02 Eastbourne, that's by Hastings, I think.

00:04:07 I bet that's insanely...

00:04:09 I've been there last year. 0.95

00:04:11 I remember it being mostly white. 1.00

00:04:14 Yeah, I bet it absolutely is.

00:04:16 For some reason, my keyboard's not working, so never mind.

00:04:19 Sorry, we're just having some boomer moments there, folks.

00:04:21 No, no, it's been on and off for the past couple of weeks.

00:04:23 I probably just need to get a new one.

00:04:25 It's quite old, to be honest.

00:04:26 I've had it for years now, actually. 0.99

00:04:28 Do you have to be white to be English? 1.00

00:04:31 Well, according to the census, apparently you do. 0.95

00:04:34 Okay, we'll call it there.

00:04:38 When you're answering the question on ethnicity,

00:04:40 You can only say that you're English if you're white over half of the men's England team aren't white 0.67

00:04:47 Are they not English then? No, they're not English. Yeah, they're literally Ghanian and 0.85

00:04:52 Eastbourne is 50% Oh, is it? Leak. Well, I was there quite early in the morning 1.00

00:04:58 So I suppose they were all still in bed. Idris Elba Lewis Hamilton

00:05:02 Idris Elba says he's African. Yeah, I've got it. It just how we're gonna go 1.00

00:05:06 Lewis Hamilton's like free Congo from who? 0.96

00:05:08 Yeah, we're going to get... 0.68

00:05:10 Idris Elba wants to start Wakanda. 0.99

00:05:12 Yeah, and good for him.

00:05:13 Didn't Akon want to do that too?

00:05:14 They all want to.

00:05:16 Cynthia Erivo.

00:05:17 Are they not English? 1.00

00:05:18 That's the wicked woman. 1.00

00:05:20 Yeah, well, she's... 1.00

00:05:21 The one with the horrible... 1.00

00:05:23 No, she's a vampire.

00:05:24 I'm sorry, if you just heard the name,

00:05:26 Lewis Hamilton, you could go,

00:05:28 yeah, that sounds like an English name.

00:05:30 Idris Elba.

00:05:32 A bit less English.

00:05:32 Cynthia Inverro.

00:05:35 Josh Babarinde.

00:05:37 like obviously that's not an English

00:05:39 telling people who look like us

00:05:42 that we can never be English

00:05:43 you can't

00:05:44 do you know what the worst thing about this is 1.00

00:05:46 I'm sure he's half English 1.00

00:05:48 but you have opted out

00:05:50 but yeah we'll get how he's opted out in a minute

00:05:53 but also

00:05:54 what are you talking about you can't change your ethnicity

00:05:56 you can't just jump across a bunch of fences

00:05:59 and say you know I think I might be French today

00:06:01 bonjour

00:06:02 this is as far as my French education goes

00:06:05 it's not like we're denying

00:06:06 whatever whatever ethnic identity he holds from you know his non-white side it's not like

00:06:12 it's not like when i mean somebody like this who's mixed race you know uh that's its own

00:06:18 specific case but when it comes to somebody like kemi right you know somebody like this

00:06:23 it's not we're denying her you um we're gonna we're gonna come back to this because this is

00:06:28 exactly where this goes right but just a quick point look at that duper's delight like he knows

00:06:33 he's lying he's smiling he can't stop himself from grinning because he's getting one over on you

00:06:38 that's what all of this is about it's about owning the chuds and it's a scandal that our 0.94

00:06:44 census backs them up doesn't believe it look at that face in scotland and wales they fixed this 0.95

00:06:50 already you can be black scottish you can be asian welsh now just a quick thing on that asian welsh 0.92

00:06:56 that is the funniest thing in the world well actually it's it's pretty terrifying because 1.00

00:07:01 if you pointed out before, there are actually more Asian

00:07:03 people in England than there are Welsh people.

00:07:05 Yes. So, saying you're Asian

00:07:07 Welsh. There are probably more Asian people in England than there are Welsh people

00:07:09 in the entire world. 1.00

00:07:11 But, yes, so the 1.00

00:07:12 Celts have already allowed their woke

00:07:15 nationalist parties to 0.92

00:07:17 subvert their own identity. Despite the English.

00:07:19 Despite the English. And now he wants to do it 0.91

00:07:21 again to spite us. But you can't

00:07:23 be black English. 0.97

00:07:25 Well, the St George's bill that I'm

00:07:27 putting forward in Parliament on Tuesday

00:07:29 the 10th of November is going to

00:07:31 fix that. Let's prove

00:07:33 that you don't have to be white to be English. 0.88

00:07:35 How does it prove anything?

00:07:36 So this member's bill went through yesterday? Yeah, we're going to

00:07:39 legislate it by fiat. This is it.

00:07:41 Alright.

00:07:42 How's that going so far? I know we joke that parliamentary

00:07:44 power allows you to declare the

00:07:47 sky to be green and tomorrow it is. Doesn't

00:07:49 actually change the colour of the sky. No.

00:07:51 Anyway, so, yeah.

00:07:53 Josh

00:07:54 was quite proudly a Nigerian

00:07:57 only two years ago.

00:07:59 And 0.99

00:08:00 he loses dna results down the back of the sofa quite often was he a nigerian in fact uh you know

00:08:07 he was quite nigerian for a long time um but yeah so this is being uh reported around as you see 0.59

00:08:13 but again you can't change your ethnicity this doesn't prove anything this is just transgenderism

00:08:18 for ethnicity and he wants it legally categorized so what we're going to end up with is the kind of

00:08:23 gender critical movement but for ethnicity and eventually the supreme court will go well

00:08:28 i mean it's true probably they probably won't i think you're gonna have to abolish supreme court

00:08:34 before we get to that i'm i'm totally in favor of abolishing supreme court for any americans

00:08:38 watching our supreme court was created by legislation in 2009 i think it came into

00:08:43 existence in 2011 um so i've got t-shirts older than our supreme court uh anyway so yeah like

00:08:49 he's nigerian and he knows he's nigerian and this is uh you've missed the link here samson can you

00:08:56 get that link up because it's very ironic that he's been saying this because he also he stood

00:09:02 up in parliament where it's um where he says it's not for politicians to decide you can get that

00:09:06 link sorry i forgot to tell you i'd added one um he uh stood up in parliament and oh no not that

00:09:12 one it's the one below the one underneath the gb news run go down samson although that is again

00:09:18 him showing his nigerian roots but he is also hang on a minute can we go back one just to that one

00:09:24 that was pulled up.

00:09:25 Oh, the one on the podium.

00:09:26 Yeah, the one on the podium.

00:09:28 God bless Ghana.

00:09:30 Yeah.

00:09:30 So he's like a pan-African nationalist

00:09:33 because he's Nigerian.

00:09:34 Yeah.

00:09:34 And I happen to go to school

00:09:36 in a very diverse cohort

00:09:37 and the Ghanaian and Nigerian kids

00:09:39 did not get along.

00:09:40 Are they ethnic enemies? 0.98

00:09:41 Yeah, they are. 0.96

00:09:42 Except when contrasted 0.88

00:09:43 with the white kids. 0.94

00:09:44 And so when there's

00:09:45 a common outside group,

00:09:47 suddenly they band together.

00:09:48 Yeah, for anyone who's wondering,

00:09:50 schools currently follow

00:09:51 prison rules,

00:09:52 a segregated by ethnicity. 0.96

00:09:53 He's wearing kinte cloth.

00:09:54 I mean, you can tell that's how he's a proud Englishman, right?

00:09:59 Which, who among us can say we haven't worn, what is it called?

00:10:02 Kinte cloth.

00:10:03 It's the thing, you remember the scarves that Nancy Pelosi was wearing?

00:10:06 Yeah, I've seen them wearing it, but I didn't know what it was called.

00:10:08 Was that when she thanked George Floyd for dying?

00:10:10 Wakanda forever. 0.58

00:10:11 Yeah, that was cool. 1.00

00:10:12 God, it's so embarrassing.

00:10:14 Anyway, so this is going to be incorporated into something called the ethnicity harmonization standard.

00:10:20 Wait, what was the other one that we were supposed to pull up in the first place? 0.63

00:10:23 Oh, yeah, good point. Yeah, right.

00:10:24 So, yeah, I mean, literally in this speech, he says it's not for politicians to decide. 1.00

00:10:30 You have to be white to be English. 0.99

00:10:33 George's bill fixes that. 0.71

00:10:34 It provides for the addition of categories such as black English and Asian English to the census.

00:10:41 This bill takes nothing away from anyone. 0.90

00:10:45 White English stays exactly where it is. 0.95

00:10:48 And so does black British, Asian British and the rest. 0.66

00:10:52 this bill simply adds choices that reflect how people already see themselves because it is not

00:10:59 for politicians to decide who is english this might backfire though because the irony but yeah go on

00:11:08 go do you remember that yougov survey that was in november 2025 where it said oh how do people

00:11:14 identify and it turns out that ethnic minorities immigrants and their children recognize that

00:11:20 Englishness and ethnicity at much

00:11:22 higher rates than

00:11:24 the native population. So we're going to see

00:11:26 how many well-integrated people

00:11:28 actually identify as black English

00:11:30 or Asian English versus

00:11:32 their inherited and accurate ethnic

00:11:34 identities. Good question.

00:11:36 Anyway, so like I was saying, this is going to be

00:11:38 integrated into the

00:11:40 harmonised ethnicity standard

00:11:42 which they want for the next census.

00:11:44 Now this has been in the works for a long time, as you

00:11:46 can see, since 2011.

00:11:48 So, you know, well done conservatives.

00:11:50 So this, as they tell us, is the process of making statistics and data more comparable, consistent, and coherent.

00:11:55 So basically, whatever the Celtic nations have done, they're going to want to incorporate.

00:11:59 And so he is just piggybacking off of something that already exists.

00:12:02 Wow, MPs are just agents of the permanent state?

00:12:05 I didn't know that. You're telling me that for the first time.

00:12:07 You can see why he's got such a disgusting grin on his face, where he's like, yeah, I'm going to do this.

00:12:12 I'm going to annoy you, and this was happening anyway, is his opinion.

00:12:16 The ONS notes there's no consensus on what constitutes an ethnic group.

00:12:20 membership is self-defined and subjectively meaningful to the person concerned so you're

00:12:25 exactly correct we're going to see exactly how many were like oh yeah i'm definitely that thing

00:12:29 uh and so you know there's there's literally no particular um proper category and this will be

00:12:36 ready for census 2031 which won't be published they will i think it will be published not without

00:12:42 pulling teeth well it would yeah there will be a real reluctance to publish it and they will do

00:12:49 their best like they did in the 2020 census to bury the lead but we'll be able to dig that out

00:12:54 they will definitely and i think the attempt to fiddle around the categories here is an admission

00:13:00 that look we know we're going to be forced to publish this so what we're going to do is mess

00:13:03 with all of the categories as much we can to try and minimize the damage that immigration has done 0.52

00:13:08 they're going to say this is the english share of the population exactly abrogate black english 0.95

00:13:14 Look at that, you're still 87% of the population 0.89

00:13:16 It's like, yeah, but we know that we're not

00:13:18 And it's literally just going to be

00:13:21 Messing around with categories

00:13:22 They've held a series of consultations

00:13:25 About this, by the way

00:13:25 Guess how many people they consulted with 1.00

00:13:28 Three Bermalians

00:13:30 Individual members of the public

00:13:32 162

00:13:34 Well, I'm

00:13:36 Who were they?

00:13:38 Must have got lost in my inbox

00:13:40 Yeah, exactly, sorry

00:13:41 why didn't I get my consultation

00:13:44 we've asked 162 people

00:13:46 at random, it turns out you don't exist

00:13:47 in total they received

00:13:49 722 responses

00:13:51 that's not very many

00:13:53 the average YouTube video we put up gets

00:13:55 way more responses than that

00:13:57 that is crazy, 28 of those

00:14:00 were government departments

00:14:01 8 of them were

00:14:03 from devolved governments

00:14:05 13 of them were for

00:14:07 non-departmental public bodies or government

00:14:09 agencies

00:14:10 164 of them were from local or regional government

00:14:14 15 of them were for public service

00:14:18 78 from academia

00:14:20 33 from the NHS

00:14:23 This is just the state marking its own homework

00:14:25 It is exactly that

00:14:26 I'm hearing just here a list of departments and individuals

00:14:29 To be defunded and probably thrown in prison

00:14:31 44 from the private sector

00:14:33 Organisations in the private sector

00:14:35 Is private sector Serco?

00:14:37 Exactly, it doesn't mean it's private

00:14:40 Five were from journalism or media, which is very small, really, when you think about it.

00:14:45 It's about Novara's staff, isn't it?

00:14:46 Yeah, exactly. And like I said, 162 were from just individual members of the public.

00:14:50 So what a widespread consultation.

00:14:52 They've really taken an ice core of the country and tapped into people's opinions.

00:14:57 So, I mean, they didn't provide a definitive list of the questions being added or removed.

00:15:02 They didn't provide a breakdown of the proposed questions that attracted support or opposition.

00:15:06 The final wording in this is about the...

00:15:09 The concerns are about the wording of ethnicity, religion, national identity, immigration,

00:15:14 and other demographic characteristics.

00:15:15 And these will be on the 2031 census.

00:15:18 So they are absolutely doing what they can to fiddle with the numbers and categories now

00:15:23 in order to muddy the waters about what has happened to us in the last decade plus.

00:15:27 Which is strange, because if it really were diversity and unalloyed strength,

00:15:32 they wouldn't have to spend so much time obscuring the data.

00:15:35 They would be as proud of it as they possibly could be.

00:15:37 They'd be like, look, guys, we've got 50 million Bermalians.

00:15:40 Look how great everything's going. 1.00

00:15:41 But, of course, they can't do that because that's not good.

00:15:44 So they have to conceal that.

00:15:45 Would you like to know who's the director of the census in 2031?

00:15:49 Oh, go on.

00:15:50 I don't know this.

00:15:51 Do you want to just, I mean, take a guess at where this surname comes from?

00:15:54 Is it Pakistani man?

00:15:55 No. 0.95

00:15:55 Jason Zawadzki.

00:15:58 Zawadzki.

00:15:59 Polish.

00:16:00 So we've got a Polish guy doing our census.

00:16:03 For some reason.

00:16:05 not sure why what kind of check after check after uh well the only information i could find was just

00:16:13 polish so uh anyway so he says you're reviewing around 50 subtopics from demographics and housing

00:16:20 to newer areas such as health condition impairment or disability actually that could be quite

00:16:24 interesting i'd like to know what percentage of people are out of work because of adhd yeah because

00:16:29 they stub their toe or have tennis elbow or something like that right chronic fatigue um

00:16:33 Yeah, but the data they collect will, of course, influence public planning policy, policy development, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?

00:16:38 The Diversity Trust is on the case.

00:16:41 As Jason wrote for them, again, like, I'm so glad these are the people who are...

00:16:47 What's his bio? I saw something about the World Wars in that.

00:16:50 Oh, quite possibly.

00:16:52 But anyway, he says...

00:16:54 I was just saying the census was accepted in the 1941 due to the Second World War.

00:16:59 This is the sort of place that they launched the public consultation for.

00:17:04 Yeah.

00:17:04 So they were like, yeah.

00:17:05 Gathering the faithful.

00:17:06 Yeah, we're literally going to mark our own homework.

00:17:08 We're going to ask the people who are directly invested in the system and the ideology of the system how we can make their lives easier.

00:17:14 And that's why you're going to get black English, Asian English, and whatnot on the census. 0.85

00:17:20 And, well, lo and behold, it's a guy who's not English doing it.

00:17:23 Why would he feel protective over it? 0.96

00:17:24 Why would any of them care? 1.00

00:17:26 They are literally, it's a bunch of foreigners that control our state 1.00

00:17:29 that are going to just manipulate our country, our ethnicity, out of existence. 1.00

00:17:34 And so then the Nigerian man, well, the self-proclaimed Nigerian man, 0.98

00:17:38 was in the chamber the other day with his member's bill.

00:17:41 This is quite a long page, this is a long thing,

00:17:44 so I'm just going to read the clip, the quote from it.

00:17:47 He says, quote,

00:17:47 I'm a proud Englishman, and English is about more than the colour of your skin,

00:17:53 Barbinde said.

00:17:53 Most people in this country already agree

00:17:56 That you don't have to be white to be English

00:17:57 Just look at the England football team

00:17:59 But our census hasn't properly caught up

00:18:00 In England, the ethnic group question

00:18:03 Offers English only in the white category

00:18:05 Although about 11% of the UK-born population

00:18:08 In England and Wales

00:18:09 Are from a minority ethnic background

00:18:11 That doesn't contradict anything

00:18:14 How can they be minority ethnic 0.81

00:18:16 If they're also English? 0.99

00:18:17 Exactly

00:18:17 What sense does this make?

00:18:20 But he's reversed the cart and the horse

00:18:23 England is not a product of the English

00:18:25 you are English because you are in England

00:18:27 the soil is magic

00:18:29 but also the British Empire did nothing wrong

00:18:32 because it was the Indian Empire

00:18:33 the African Empire

00:18:34 the American Empire 1.00

00:18:35 I'm going to ban

00:18:38 all non-local football leagues

00:18:40 football is just going to have to go back

00:18:43 to being a thing that you do

00:18:44 with your mates from the pub

00:18:46 I'm sorry I'm so sick

00:18:49 so sick of hearing about

00:18:51 our English team

00:18:52 We wouldn't be anywhere we were in the football league 1.00

00:18:56 if it weren't for the foreigners on our football team. 1.00

00:18:58 And then we lose. 1.00

00:19:00 And then we lose anyway.

00:19:01 But when was the last time we won a World Cup? 1.00

00:19:03 When it was an all-white team. 1.00

00:19:05 Camilla Tomine put a really retarded clip, 1.00

00:19:07 which is pretty common for low-T, 0.99

00:19:08 and she said,

00:19:10 when you get people saying that the English football team

00:19:12 aren't English, they're in England shirts.

00:19:14 And it's like, okay, I'm wearing wool.

00:19:16 I'm wearing wool and I'm not a sheep.

00:19:18 Halloween, I've got to wear a vampire costume.

00:19:21 I'm not a vampire, Camilla.

00:19:22 But on Halloween, when I break out the shoe polish

00:19:24 and my funny accents, all of a sudden,

00:19:26 it's a big problem, all right.

00:19:28 I've got the little fake teeth and a bit of flaked blood,

00:19:30 and suddenly, roo! 1.00

00:19:32 It's such a stupid... 1.00

00:19:34 It's so stupid. 1.00

00:19:36 Anyway, so yeah, this went through Parliament 1.00

00:19:37 and no one objected.

00:19:39 Even Rupert Lowe didn't object, actually,

00:19:41 which is a bit surprising.

00:19:43 But anyway, yeah, so you've got, you know,

00:19:44 this should be a census option.

00:19:46 But why not just tick mixed?

00:19:50 because this is jason uh josh sorry uh he is of mixed heritage and as i think someone yeah there

00:19:57 we go um you have a census category just mixed multiple ethnic groups white black caribbean

00:20:03 white black africa or any just write the one in that you are what you it's already there this is

00:20:10 about annexing a category and the language associated with it so that you can't draw

00:20:14 distinctions because if you can draw a distinction between us and them not just on the grounds of

00:20:18 ethnicity but in his case on the grounds of loyalty then his ability to participate in our

00:20:22 political system and take power away from you becomes impossible yes and your ability to

00:20:27 conceptualize the erasure of your own people's existence in your country is muddied and blurred

00:20:32 and hopefully completely put out of your own mind and your own ability to conceptualize it because

00:20:38 you look at the census data and go well it's saying 80 90 english i mean i guess my perception

00:20:43 must be wrong if everyone around me just happens to be english it's it's this complete like you

00:20:49 know the um fungible universal man syndrome the liberals have um post-war blank slate absolutely

00:20:55 absolutely so anyway except for the ethnic minorities themselves at which point it's just

00:20:58 ethnic revenge yeah yeah so like so you've got the uh you've got the category there um have i

00:21:04 oh sorry i've put a few other things at the end of this samson i must have forgot to tell you

00:21:08 But you get people like Ben

00:21:10 Bisjecti, if we can get that one up

00:21:12 Sorry, Samson, my fault

00:21:14 Is that an old English name? 1.00

00:21:17 You're a Welshman, Carl

00:21:18 Is that a Welsh name?

00:21:20 Average Conservative MP, by the way

00:21:21 But yeah, the thing is

00:21:24 He's had a few weird events

00:21:26 So yeah, that one and below, please

00:21:28 He just spends all his time griping

00:21:30 at the online right-on

00:21:31 He's got a weird set

00:21:34 of contradictions in himself

00:21:36 which again doesn't really make sense so i'll let samson there was a load extra at the bottom

00:21:43 yes sorry samson it's totally my fault i'm really sorry i should have should have brought that up

00:21:47 earlier um standards are slipping carl yeah if we can go back to that one there we go uh yeah

00:21:54 that'll do right so um yeah so he uh he says well the only thing you have to be in order to be

00:21:59 english is descended from english ancestors which i am why don't you act like it then well that's

00:22:03 exactly what i said why are you reacting as if you're being personally attacked then

00:22:06 if you if you have the ethnic heritage of english and you can take english on the censors

00:22:11 why are you acting like there's something wrong you know and but the thing is also if you want to

00:22:15 get really autistic about it like by take mixed well yeah yeah then then kind of like by being

00:22:23 mixed between two different groups you're kind of an entirely new thing that's very recent to

00:22:28 like modern times since the advent of mass immigration is him previously arguing that

00:22:33 actually this was all nonsense david lammy raising the issue of a black english option on the census

00:22:39 is a form of peak identity politics the difference is that white english is an ethnic group black

00:22:44 english is not i don't need to tick a box of the form once a decade to validate who i am you think

00:22:48 it's like harvey dent or like his white side is straining to be free you know what ben i totally

00:22:53 agree with you i think you're right on both counts to be honest he's doing the green goblin thing in

00:22:58 the mirror this is the interesting thing when it comes to owning the left versus owning the online

00:23:06 right chuds then his argument will flip depending on who he's opposing which means that this is a

00:23:11 man with no principles well no his principle is whatever advantages me because the left will

00:23:15 fundamentally argue for the dei shortlist which the conservatives then adopt which he which allow

00:23:20 this man to be an mp yeah when we turn around and say actually no we don't want to be represented 0.91

00:23:24 by foreigners in our politics, suddenly he finds himself among the flanks of race communists 0.70

00:23:29 that actually have his back. 0.51

00:23:30 And if this is something that genuinely does, like, concern you about your own personal

00:23:34 identity, and you don't need a valid, just click mixed.

00:23:37 It's fine.

00:23:37 It's not like a judgement or something, right?

00:23:40 Then you've got, of course, Idris Elba being like, yeah, yeah, I'm not going to play the

00:23:43 clip because I think it's copyrighted.

00:23:44 But in this, he's like, yeah, I'm African.

00:23:47 It's like, okay.

00:23:48 Then no, Idris Elba isn't English, obviously.

00:23:50 And what this all boils down to, Ethel Wolf here has got a great point, right?

00:23:53 This is about removing the boundaries of what it is to be English.

00:24:01 So the English ethnic group can no longer say we are something and other people are not this thing.

00:24:06 If anyone can be allowed to just identify in, again, it's literally the transgender argument.

00:24:15 And so this allows David Lammy to come out and say, I'm English. 0.77

00:24:19 Now, David Lammy has done a DNA test.

00:24:22 We know precisely what percentage 0.63

00:24:24 David Lammy is English

00:24:26 I don't need the DNA test

00:24:28 You probably don't but I'm going to give it to you

00:24:30 Because I happen to know

00:24:31 I read the Professor X meme

00:24:34 I'm just looking at him

00:24:36 I read his book Tribes 0.66

00:24:38 He's 25% Tureg tribe

00:24:41 Which is from Niger 0.92

00:24:41 Was it a pop-up by any chance?

00:24:43 No it wasn't, it was boring 1.00

00:24:45 25% Temni tribe 1.00

00:24:47 Which is from Sierra Leone 0.99

00:24:48 He's 25% of some Bantu tribe from South Africa 0.97

00:24:51 he's a mishmash of other unidentified groups for the like 20 and five percent traces of scotland 0.83

00:24:59 so he's five percent scottish i wouldn't have even expected that much yeah so you're not that

00:25:04 good a noticer are you well you know what you didn't see this heavy brown you're like oh hang

00:25:09 on that is some scottish in him well that's a scottish note if i've ever seen one yep oh yeah

00:25:13 i've seen it pressed up against hadrian's wall actually yep yep he was the guy on the wall

00:25:18 when the romans came to visit but the point is yeah okay you're in you're in zero percent english

00:25:26 david so you can you know like you know you can say i'm five percent scottish okay yeah i agree

00:25:32 you are five percent scottish but as you're saying yeah this this this is the problem with this sort

00:25:37 of like permeable category boundaries yeah beno bischetti and josh barbindi yeah they've got

00:25:42 english mums or english dads yes okay then they've got a claim but you're allowing someone

00:25:47 like David Lammy, who has zero claim whatsoever, to say, I'm just as English as you are, therefore 0.87

00:25:52 infinite Bermalians. Only when it's Adventist. Also, well, yeah, yeah, also, I'm a black Caribbean 0.89

00:25:59 and you need to give me some money, but I'm also English when it's convenient. And in fact, that's

00:26:03 the point. That's the point that people have been pointing out. It's like, look, the issue of this

00:26:06 is you can't claim to be English, but then indulge your ethnic posturing, like, I'm so proud to be

00:26:09 Ghanaian, etc. Well, it's also saying the ethnic English people can't do the same. You are trying

00:26:14 to enforce a contradiction on us that is not only unfair but is unsustainable it's not right to be

00:26:22 able to take away our own sense of distinctiveness i refuse to lie as well i refuse to lie and that's

00:26:27 basically what it boils down to and like i'm not even saying that david lammy isn't culturally

00:26:31 english either i mean calum and i did a podcast years ago because david lammy was bringing this

00:26:37 up at the time we were like well he's obviously an african man five percent scottish um but he

00:26:44 close enough basically he's just he's just been molded by our fake and gay institutions it doesn't 0.70

00:26:48 make him culturally english well no he culturally he isn't no he's not no he can hates us yeah no 0.81

00:26:52 no i'm not saying yeah but well how there are a lot of there are a lot of people coming through

00:26:57 yeah exactly yeah but there are a lot of english people who hate us too i mean this is why i hate

00:27:01 little britain we'll get into all of this later right all of this is self all of this way is

00:27:06 self-loathing stuff right but the point is he is he is culturally english that's fine because

00:27:12 obviously he's born and raised here in a sense of culture and it would actually be the funniest

00:27:16 like reality tv show in the world to drop david lammy off in africa and have a camera crew follow

00:27:21 him around sure that would be that would be a bit like when you attach a gopro to the head of your

00:27:25 cat yeah exactly like i'm not booking the flight back what's he getting up to out there i think

00:27:31 it'd be brilliant but um anyway the point being the whole the whole point of all of this is to

00:27:37 take away your identity from you so other people can inherit it and there there have been some

00:27:42 interesting voice about this uh rakib hassan has been warning about this by the way because he's

00:27:46 like this is just going to radicalize people further and i mean i think he's right to be

00:27:50 fair to rakib he's always said yeah i'm i'm not english we need an emergency census to find out

00:27:54 the demographic composition and england should remain majority english majority christian yeah

00:28:00 and so yeah like you know even even foreigners can be like well yeah the english deserve

00:28:04 demographic security and the whole point of this is to destroy our ability to identify

00:28:09 whether we have demographic security or not that's the whole point of this 0.92

00:28:13 so deeply pernicious be aware this is coming down the tube in 2031

00:28:17 orchard says are these politicians pulling the world citizen scam no they've given up on that

00:28:23 Actually, they've given up on that because it turned out that we didn't agree with it and the flag wavers started getting very loud. 1.00

00:28:31 It was always really gay. No one was ever going to sign up to be a world citizen anyway. 1.00

00:28:35 You know what's interesting? They teach it in schools. They'll teach your kids to be global citizens.

00:28:40 In practice, that just means nothing.

00:28:42 It seems to have meant absolutely nothing.

00:28:45 and what I've noticed is

00:28:47 the kids today, because they live in the prison playground

00:28:49 rules, they're very

00:28:51 connected to who they are

00:28:53 identity wise, very connected to

00:28:55 in a way that I wasn't when I was their age

00:28:58 because it was just, everyone was British

00:28:59 around me, you know, English or whatever

00:29:01 and so I was just like, whatever. Apparently of the three of us, Connor's

00:29:03 the one who had to learn youngest

00:29:05 I went to school in London. Well yeah, I bet

00:29:07 yeah, yeah

00:29:08 white Japanese, black Japanese, Indian Japanese

00:29:11 yeah, I know. That's what Brittany Venti's trying to do 1.00

00:29:13 Wait, actually, with the multicultural, multiracial schools, wouldn't, do they still, do they still have particular sets in the schools in these multicultural, because surely that would lead to a form of accidental racial segregation anyway. 0.80

00:29:28 Yeah, but, that's interesting.

00:29:30 Why is set one all English and Chinese?

00:29:33 Why are the math students? 1.00

00:29:34 Indians. 1.00

00:29:34 Yeah.

00:29:35 There's loads of Indians, because, especially if you go to like a selective state-funded school, like I went to a grandma.

00:29:40 They know how to pass around the answers.

00:29:42 And also, don't forget, in the top grammar schools

00:29:45 and that, they're now so little English

00:29:46 students. There's one Dartford grammar

00:29:48 not that far from me that's 7%

00:29:50 English. 1.00

00:29:52 Amandine says, the foreigners who are calling themselves English are trying to erase 1.00

00:29:54 ethnically English and replace it with culturally English 0.99

00:29:56 so they can erase whites. 1.00

00:29:58 That's just what's happening there. 1.00

00:30:01 Base Ape says, I have a theory that a mass

00:30:02 brainwashing campaign has been conducted, but like

00:30:05 hypnosis, it doesn't work on everyone. The trigger word is

00:30:06 football. Is it?

00:30:09 And I'm

00:30:11 Old Grieg.

00:30:13 Old Grieg.

00:30:15 See, I watched as little of it as possible.

00:30:16 I have no idea what that means.

00:30:18 Let's carry on.

00:30:20 We'll save it for that.

00:30:20 Okay, do you want to put up excellent?

00:30:22 When you were having a green day, you clearly had different viewing habits.

00:30:25 I just hated it.

00:30:26 I hated 2003.

00:30:28 Sorry, we'll get to it.

00:30:30 We'll get to it.

00:30:31 Tell us about how much you hate modern DC.

00:30:33 Break out the dancing crabs, everyone.

00:30:35 James Gone is gone.

00:30:36 So I thought I'd bring you some good news today.

00:30:37 because as a long-suffering DC fan,

00:30:40 as co-host of Comics Corner on LotusEaters.com

00:30:42 with my friend Harry,

00:30:43 we're filming a new episode this afternoon,

00:30:44 this time about Marvel,

00:30:45 but nevertheless,

00:30:46 last episode was about Batman Hush.

00:30:47 James Gunn was involved in Marvel,

00:30:49 much to all of our detriment.

00:30:51 He was indeed.

00:30:51 He's the only man to be fired by both,

00:30:53 which speaks volumes to his character

00:30:56 and his caliber as a filmmaker,

00:30:57 which is lacking

00:30:58 because his entire career

00:30:59 seems to have amounted to 0.99

00:31:00 I want other men to have sex with my wife on camera. 1.00

00:31:02 What? 1.00

00:31:03 I mean, let's see his wife. 1.00

00:31:06 Mid.

00:31:06 His wife is a recurring character in the Suicide Squad Peacemaker with John Cena 1.00

00:31:12 where there's like a bisexual orgy in season two 0.84

00:31:14 and they accidentally said the Nazis are the good guys or something 0.95

00:31:16 which is really weird

00:31:16 It's the sequel to his Superman movie

00:31:18 Don't question it

00:31:19 I've not watched any of this

00:31:21 I thought all that's the sort of stuff that they say

00:31:22 that they just had in like The Boys

00:31:24 and you're telling me the actual DC programs were doing boys level content

00:31:28 Because they're catering to the same audience

00:31:29 which is just degenerate Redditors

00:31:30 who think that everything has to be dark and edgy

00:31:32 with the tone of Rick and Morty

00:31:34 This is why I hated Rick and Morty

00:31:35 Just incredibly immature

00:31:36 Yes, and actually DC is not going that direction.

00:31:39 I can't believe it, but I'm going to give you some good news.

00:31:41 The new guy that's heading up DC wants classic heroic movies with a Christian spin,

00:31:45 and he's making them with his grandmother in mind.

00:31:47 So they're literally making movies for Aunt May.

00:31:50 Great.

00:31:50 Yeah, so we're going to get into it.

00:31:51 This is what winning the culture war looks like, is it?

00:31:54 Yeah, despite the recent catastrophic moves by the Trump administration,

00:31:58 I am not tired of winning in this regard.

00:32:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:00 Shards win.

00:32:01 Anyway, so... 1.00

00:32:02 Fired, Aunt May is hired, basically.

00:32:04 So this is all a result of the Paramount Skydance acquisition of Warner Brothers and they have fired James Gunn and Peter Safran as the co-CEOs of DC Studios.

00:32:14 It was always baffling that Peter Safran was promoted to co-CEO because he was an executive producer on such amazing hits like Shazam Fury of the Gods and Aquaman The Lost Kingdom where the villain was climate change.

00:32:26 Wait, that was the second Aquaman film that nobody saw, wasn't it?

00:32:29 Nobody cared.

00:32:30 Yeah, after the first Aquaman made a billion, somehow,

00:32:33 the second Aquaman, nobody gave a...

00:32:35 I mean, I'll be honest, of this new range,

00:32:37 this new lineup of DC properties that came out

00:32:40 since James Gunn supposedly took over,

00:32:42 we've had, what, Superman?

00:32:43 Yes.

00:32:44 Creature Commandos.

00:32:46 What?

00:32:46 Yeah, I know, that hit DC characters, Creature Commandos.

00:32:49 Was that a film or a television program?

00:32:51 I've never heard of any of this.

00:32:51 I know, exactly.

00:32:52 You're wondering what a hemorrhaging money. 0.97

00:32:54 You may as well be speaking Chinese. 0.99

00:32:55 Well, the first...

00:32:56 The Superman film that he did seemed to be majorly astroturfed,

00:33:00 and then I saw clips coming out of it that made it look abysmal.

00:33:03 We're going to watch a couple.

00:33:05 Okay, great.

00:33:06 And then there was Supergirl,

00:33:08 which I remember there was a Supergirl fan account,

00:33:10 which I only assume...

00:33:12 He's South Asian.

00:33:13 Well, the film came out after he'd been spending months going,

00:33:17 I'm so excited for this, and he's not posted since.

00:33:20 So Millie Alcock, who played Supergirl, had a three-picture deal.

00:33:23 She has already completed that deal.

00:33:24 she wiped all of the promotional material about Supergirl from her Instagram account.

00:33:28 The movie actually made less at the box office

00:33:31 than their re-release of Avengers Endgame ahead of Doomsday did.

00:33:35 They re-released Avengers Endgame from 2019 for like a couple of weeks

00:33:38 and it made more money than Supergirl.

00:33:39 If it helps, I never watched any of the Marvel films or the DC films.

00:33:42 Some of the Marvel films are good.

00:33:44 I watched the Iron Man one, that was pretty good.

00:33:45 Iron Man is very good.

00:33:47 The last two Spider-Man movies...

00:33:48 That was very good.

00:33:49 That was before it became like this giant incorporated universe

00:33:52 that you had homework for.

00:33:53 The gelatinous mass that you had to, like, read the comics for, and watch the TV series.

00:33:56 I re-watched the first Iron Man recently, and it was shocking just how much it felt like a real film.

00:34:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:34:01 The new head of DC produced that one.

00:34:03 Right, okay.

00:34:04 That was one of the ones he was most proud of.

00:34:05 So we might start getting some good movies.

00:34:06 Because I checked out when it was, like, the Avengers multiverse or whatever it is, you know, like, the cinematic universes.

00:34:12 The only good time they've used the multiverse was the third Tom Holland Spider-Man film,

00:34:17 where they bring back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield and Green Goblin.

00:34:19 Remember Mary's.

00:34:20 Yeah, which genuinely is probably worth watching.

00:34:22 because the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies were good

00:34:24 and they all know the Sam Raimi Spider-Man.

00:34:25 What was that one with the wizard guy?

00:34:28 Doctor Strange?

00:34:28 Yeah, yeah.

00:34:29 I watched one of those the other day.

00:34:32 It was pretty good.

00:34:33 It's okay.

00:34:34 The first one's all right.

00:34:35 It's a pain-by-numbers origin story

00:34:36 with a weak film.

00:34:37 Okay, well, I can't really remember how it went

00:34:39 but, like, I remember enjoying it.

00:34:40 I can't remember why I was watching it.

00:34:42 It was in my front room, so.

00:34:43 By the way, I've, like,

00:34:44 these newer films seem to have had

00:34:46 no cultural impact whatsoever

00:34:48 and this means that Gunn has been fired

00:34:50 way faster than Zack Snyder ever was.

00:34:53 Yeah, Zack Snyder is somewhere laughing,

00:34:54 even though his recent films have been terrible.

00:34:56 But Zack Snyder's DC films, absolutely great.

00:34:58 Henry Cavill, somewhere at a Latin mass, 0.98

00:35:00 feeling vindicated right now, painting his miniatures.

00:35:03 Anyway, so the quote says,

00:35:05 James and Peter launched a new era for DC Studios

00:35:07 and led it through a period of real transformation,

00:35:09 resetting the foundation and building a slate

00:35:10 we're incredibly proud of.

00:35:12 Skydance chairman and CEO, David Ellison,

00:35:14 son of Larry Ellison,

00:35:15 and co-CEO Jon Kreitz said jointly in a statement,

00:35:19 We're grateful for their passion, contributions, and commitment to this legendary brand.

00:35:23 Translation, they're doing a terrible job.

00:35:24 Get out.

00:35:24 Because it turns out that during the acquisition, they were put down as being a part of the

00:35:29 expected executive team of Warner Brothers under Skydance Paramount.

00:35:33 And then one day, the representatives for Skydance Paramount showed up at their lot in,

00:35:37 I think it's Burbank, California, and just said to them, clear out your desk.

00:35:41 Short notice, sack them on the spot, much driving out into the darkness, wailing and

00:35:45 gnashing of teeth.

00:35:45 Now, they're being replaced by former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham, who said,

00:35:49 DC's pantheon of characters is among the most iconic in American popular culture.

00:35:53 I've had the privilege to help bring some of the most celebrated superhero stories to life on the big screen,

00:35:57 and I'm excited and honored for the opportunity to now lead DC Studios into its next era.

00:36:01 So Latcham, if you don't know him, he produced that Dungeons & Dragons movie, which, I mean, looked dumb, but whatever.

00:36:07 It wasn't awful, to be fair.

00:36:09 He also produced Bad Times at the El Royale, which is actually a good film,

00:36:12 Spider-Man Homecoming

00:36:13 meh

00:36:14 Age of Ultron

00:36:15 first Avengers film

00:36:16 Guardians of the Galaxy

00:36:17 Iron Man 2

00:36:18 and Iron Man

00:36:19 so the era where people

00:36:21 basically still like

00:36:22 the Marvel movies

00:36:22 yeah

00:36:23 right

00:36:23 Guardians of the Galaxy

00:36:24 was alright

00:36:25 it was okay

00:36:25 it was

00:36:26 and that was James Gunn

00:36:28 limited the worst

00:36:28 excesses of James

00:36:29 I would say

00:36:30 but the Iron Man film

00:36:31 was good

00:36:31 yeah first Iron Man

00:36:32 was great

00:36:33 second one

00:36:33 I will say

00:36:34 I've rewatched

00:36:35 the second Guardians

00:36:35 of the Galaxy

00:36:36 in the past few months

00:36:37 sometime

00:36:38 that is one of the

00:36:39 most overrated

00:36:40 of all of these films

00:36:41 i swear to god the pacing's pretty poor yeah bollocks yeah um jeremy lacham's film philosophy

00:36:48 is very different to james guns because james guns is take everything about your childhood and insert

00:36:54 like weird sexual undertones into it and put blaring pop music everything instead um james

00:36:59 lachan there's a patriot nerd called that garrett points out here um went on a christian broadcasting

00:37:05 network and explained his philosophy for making superhero movies like if you read the the history

00:37:11 of Marvel book or whatever there's like this bit about my grandparents in there because when we

00:37:16 were making the first Marvel movies I'd always be like I don't know if my grandma would like that

00:37:20 you know and that became like a guiding light of like as we were developing the movies like I just

00:37:25 had this like sense of like I don't know if my grandma would like that and that became the stand

00:37:29 in for like is this going to work for like regular people that are outside of the bubble of Hollywood

00:37:35 like what does this say for like a regular family and I remember my grandmother called me when Iron

00:37:40 man one came out and she said you know our pastor on sunday preached about the movie and he doesn't

00:37:47 even know that you worked on it like he just like the story of redemption like wove its way into

00:37:51 his sermon and like iron man was like the proxy for redemption that he like used as like you know

00:37:57 trying to make yourself a better person and i was like oh man like all the time that favreau would

00:38:02 like joke and be like oh jeremy's meemaw and people wouldn't like this like it ended up the

00:38:06 movie connected and like was for Meemaw and Peepaw at the end of the day and that's not even what I

00:38:10 call my grandparents that just became like the joke of like Jeremy's Meemaw and Peepaw it's like

00:38:15 no it's it's Granny and Peepaw and and everyone's just like ah your Meemaw and Peepaw wouldn't like

00:38:19 this we got to take we got to cut that joke or cut that joke or whatever because Jeremy's Meemaw

00:38:23 and Peepaw wouldn't wouldn't like it um and that was like kind of a a guiding light for like how

00:38:28 we made stuff in those early days of Marvel was like wanted to connect and feel redemptive and

00:38:33 feel hopeful and feel like it had something to say that was meaningful you know that was 0.99

00:38:39 unexpectedly wholesome yeah so no no more weird gay subversive nonsense we're going to make it 0.97

00:38:43 for christian families grandparents and chuds again great yeah genuinely good news not a big 0.93

00:38:48 fan of james gunn's recent work than this guy i assume no um actually the hollywood reporter

00:38:52 explains um if gunn was the guy to deliver f-bombs and lesser-known characters that nobody wanted to

00:38:57 watch latchum is the guy to deliver what's more in line with ellison's broader tastes say multiple

00:39:01 sources. Known as a family man who doesn't care about the

00:39:03 trappings of Hollywood, Latcham is expected to split

00:39:05 time between Los Angeles and his home in Texas

00:39:07 where he lives with his wife and daughter

00:39:09 as well as his parents who live on the property.

00:39:11 So, like, Christian family man. 0.98

00:39:14 Unlike most people in Hollywood.

00:39:15 He's not the kind of producer who has extensive relationships with

00:39:17 agents, which may be to detriment or benefit

00:39:19 depending on who you talk to. He's expected to be a very hands-on

00:39:21 producer who likes to spend time on sets. He says

00:39:23 I had this nagging feeling that I needed to do more movies

00:39:25 that had a deeper meaning. He said this

00:39:27 during an appearance on the Bible Bros podcast

00:39:30 let let let's let's let hbo let's be hbo for the faith and family audience let's try to make movies

00:39:36 and television shows that restore faith in things worth believing in so basically you can expect

00:39:40 things more of the like sam raby spider-man tone which is excellent news um also i just like the

00:39:45 idea that they're finally realizing that all of these so-called lesser known characters

00:39:50 are lesser known for a reason hey are you saying that james gunn was producing things people didn't 0.95

00:39:55 want to watch like and i shit you not um the people versus gorilla grod what the hell is that 0.80

00:40:00 that's gorilla grod the flash is sentient telekinetic gorilla supervillain who controls 0.98

00:40:07 gorilla city he's like a tyrant over this is just this is just quirk chungus yeah and he's now 0.92

00:40:12 he's now in high school in a legal drama singing party rock anthem oh bring back twerking she hulk 1.00

00:40:20 God, genuinely the same time. 0.93

00:40:22 Just, like, the only people this appeals to are Quirk Chungus, 0.50

00:40:26 who are probably scrolling through shorts on their phone anyway, not watching this.

00:40:30 Yeah, this is designed for 30-second reels on YouTube shorts,

00:40:33 and nobody's going to pay to watch this slop.

00:40:36 And this would have cost millions of dollars.

00:40:38 Yeah.

00:40:39 I've already seen industry insiders basically say,

00:40:41 Tria's a tax write-off like that shelved Batgirl film that never saw the light of day, mercifully.

00:40:45 Unfortunately, James Gunn...

00:40:48 I'm amazed they make any profit.

00:40:49 sufficient to need a tax write-off.

00:40:51 Why do you think he just got fired? 0.85

00:40:53 Actually, the woman that wrote that terrible Batgirl film

00:40:55 and the Flash movie, which James Gunn said

00:40:57 was the best superhero movie he's ever seen.

00:41:00 Is that the one where the Flash puts a baby

00:41:01 in a microwave? Yeah, and it's also the one where

00:41:03 George Clooney shows up as Batman at the end and the Flash's

00:41:05 teeth fall out. I'm describing a fever dream

00:41:07 to you. What? Anyway,

00:41:09 she wrote those two and he was going to put her in charge

00:41:11 of Batman, because they were also going to do another Batman

00:41:13 alongside Robert Pattinson's Batman. I'm glad

00:41:15 that the people who are willfully destroying

00:41:18 the cultural heritage of the west are finally getting fired so it's robert batman robert

00:41:21 patterson's batman is that carrying on yeah but it's majorly delayed it's not i know it's 2028

00:41:26 again well no i i already heard that it was coming out in 2028 anyway because you know films just

00:41:31 take decades to make now for some reason matt reeves has taken some family leave i think but um

00:41:37 there have been some set leaks that i will mention shortly which make it look terrible i'm afraid

00:41:42 sorry sorry for the bad news buddy well to be fair if they're going on with that guy who's

00:41:45 playing the the Joker and the design from the end of the last one then yeah

00:41:49 oh you will be shocked when you find out who's playing two-face anyway so Gunn

00:41:54 has spoken out about this he posted on I think was Instagram because he's common

00:41:58 to get in fights with fans on Fred's another reason he was basically kicked 1.00

00:42:01 out because he kept saying sorry if you don't like it chuds but I'm making it 1.00

00:42:04 for myself anyway yeah that's why he keeps putting his brother and his wife 0.97

00:42:10 and everything that nobody cares about anyway he's uh he's wrote this really

00:42:14 long post and he says there've been so many highs along the way releasing superman and clayface

00:42:18 making peacemaker reading the scripts the people versus the entire process of man of to man of

00:42:23 tomorrow which thus far has been the best filmmaking experience of my life and numerous

00:42:26 other moments i noticed he didn't mention supergirl and lanterns conspicuous that lanterns get cancelled

00:42:31 yeah season two lanterns not happening but what the only people closest to me have known over the

00:42:37 past four years is that my time at dc studios has been trying to say the least yeah so is watching

00:42:42 it i dislike the at times corporate nature of the job thanks to peter for taking the brunt of that

00:42:46 and the thing my adhd hyper focus has had the most difficulty with has been dividing my time

00:42:50 between projects i'm incredibly passionate about and the ones i'm not so much passionate about and

00:42:54 all the things i have to do as a studio head because of course the problem is he's just too

00:42:57 passionate yeah just too dedicated too hyper focus got too many ideas i'm weak that my biggest

00:43:02 weakness is i just care too much yeah he had to claim pit i'm too much of an artist now go and

00:43:07 What's Gorilla Grodd?

00:43:08 Yeah.

00:43:09 In a legal drama.

00:43:10 Yeah, almighty.

00:43:11 In a legal drama.

00:43:12 I know, it's the people versus Gorilla Grodd.

00:43:14 Oh yeah, right, so it's a legal,

00:43:16 so it's a courtroom drama.

00:43:16 So it's gonna show his-

00:43:17 With a gorilla.

00:43:18 His side as a wholesome high school student

00:43:21 being attacked by Jimmy Olsen in the press.

00:43:23 Is this coming out?

00:43:24 No, I don't think it's gonna come out.

00:43:26 Okay, I kinda wanna watch it now.

00:43:27 You're just making this up.

00:43:29 I believe you're just making this up.

00:43:32 These are AI-generated hallucinations

00:43:34 that you're feeling right now.

00:43:35 You should see the projects that they scrapped.

00:43:37 I'm going to mention them later because there was a whole slate

00:43:39 that he announced a bunch of years ago that never happened.

00:43:41 Well, Clayface came out.

00:43:42 I saw some people say some decent things about that. 1.00

00:43:44 Have you seen that?

00:43:45 They said it was passable for a low-budget horror movie.

00:43:48 Well, I mean, it's got some strong competition

00:43:49 for low-budget horror this year, actually.

00:43:51 Yeah, but it's like, okay, so you're going to make

00:43:52 Creature Commandos, Superman, Supergirl, Clayface.

00:43:59 Coherent universe.

00:44:00 The real reason he was actually sacked,

00:44:02 as the Hollywood Reporter reports,

00:44:05 says sources point to several points of tension between gun saffron and skydancers greenstein and

00:44:10 goldberg uh before skydancers acquisition gun and saffron reported directly to warner brothers

00:44:14 ceo david zaslav and their contract stipulated they maintain that kind of direct reporting

00:44:19 structure in the event of a change in leadership that set up some chafing with greenstein and

00:44:23 goldberg who are trying to consolidate all production of motion pictures under their

00:44:26 leadership gun and saffron were accustomed to having strong control over every aspect of the

00:44:30 rollout of dc products that was the problem another point of tension sources say dc heads

00:44:34 were not forthcoming or were slow in sharing plans so they didn't want to actually tell

00:44:38 skydance when they were buying them which projects james gunn had in the pipeline probably because

00:44:42 that would have devalued the asset because they would have expected losing lots of money

00:44:45 and then and this is the quote they're a matter of dc's financials the movies released were not

00:44:50 great for business supergirl was just a disaster in the eyes of the new regime superman gross

00:44:55 618 million dollars worldwide and was profitable according to the most generous interpretation of

00:45:00 its production budget but did not net out or have the kind of pop cultural impact in the way that

00:45:05 movie should skydance's thinking went well whatever you want to say about snyder's old films back from

00:45:11 10 13 years ago they were great they actually did have a cultural impact when when man of steel when

00:45:17 batman v superman came out whether or not they were getting panned they actually did have a

00:45:21 cultural impact they have a fan base like martha why did you say that name around in people's mind

00:45:27 Batman v Superman's box office made more than all of the things James Gunn has ever put out.

00:45:32 Really?

00:45:33 Under DC.

00:45:34 Even Scooby-Doo?

00:45:35 Under DC.

00:45:36 Oh, okay.

00:45:37 Yeah.

00:45:38 Now, why would they possibly think that Superman failed to make a cultural impact?

00:45:40 Have you guys seen any of this film?

00:45:42 No.

00:45:43 No, I don't know anybody who's watched any of this stuff.

00:45:44 People tried to convince me this was a masterpiece.

00:45:47 This is James Gunn's interpretation of Superman.

00:45:49 This is just after, by the way, he has discovered that Lex Luthor has a pocket dimension full

00:45:53 of monkeys sat at computers writing mean tweets about Superman because of course this is all about

00:45:59 James Gunn. These people only write what they know. They only write what they know. There are all these

00:46:04 mean tweets about me. There must be a pocket dimension of people with monkeys. You can't talk

00:46:08 about Indians that way. That sounds like a plot point out of the boys as well. Yeah it does. Because

00:46:12 all of these people can write about is yeah how people are mean about them on social media. It

00:46:17 doesn't matter if they're writing Superman, wholesome family Superman or mean-spirited

00:46:22 gross out boys content.

00:46:24 They've been like this for a long time.

00:46:25 Do you remember in Ghostbusters 2016

00:46:27 where the villain was literally 1.00

00:46:29 some incel chud from- 0.95

00:46:30 Same in She-Hulk.

00:46:31 In She-Hulk it ends with like

00:46:33 the writers coming into the show.

00:46:35 Yeah, so these people just spend

00:46:37 far too much time online.

00:46:38 Yeah, they're totally online

00:46:39 and they don't like the fact

00:46:40 that you don't like what they produce.

00:46:41 They just attack you instead. 0.99

00:46:42 And then they produce crap like this 0.99

00:46:44 where the actor doesn't believe in it himself. 0.91

00:46:45 That is where you've always been wrong about me, Lex.

00:46:49 I'm as human as anyone.

00:46:50 I love I I get scared I wake up every morning and despite not knowing what to

00:46:56 do I put one foot in front of the other and I try to make the best choices I

00:47:00 can I screw up all the time but that is being human and that's my greatest

00:47:07 strength I'm just heckin trying diversity is my greatest strength Superman

00:47:12 while you're being blinded by JJ Abrams level lens flare that was way worse way

00:47:17 this is yeah this is this is oh there's also uh that was also terrible delivery yeah i remember

00:47:21 his version of the justice league right i remember seeing this clip and i can't say what i think

00:47:26 that well actually david corin sweat um on set with some unfavorable screen grabs from police

00:47:33 cameras yeah that's what i was you know i'll play that previous clip in a minute because david

00:47:38 corinth will actually argue with james gunn about his interpretation of superman on set and corin

00:47:41 sweat's completely right here and so i don't i don't blame for being dispirited oh saying i

00:47:46 just I don't know if I feel this so finally I walked off set and to talk to

00:47:52 him in person he came in and came off set and we get into this thing so great

00:47:57 but the but the the am I am I am I just demonstrating so if I say that's what it

00:48:05 is to be human that feels like I'm I'm trying to prove it still as opposed to I

00:48:11 really know it I think there's a little bit I mean okay because let me let me 0.93

00:48:15 try that the emotions are always lingering but isn't there something the i felt like shit about 0.97

00:48:21 myself since the recording came out it's just been like i don't belong i'm shit i've everything's a 0.95

00:48:26 lie i'm not who i thought i was when when is is this not the moment where i go i was wrong to 0.63

00:48:33 feel that way that's exactly where the issue is right because what he didn't tell you was it was

00:48:38 wrong to feel that way there are feelings and there are thoughts your feelings about feeling

00:48:46 bad are okay it's not wrong for you to feel that way and in this moment for you to talk about how

00:48:54 it's okay to be vulnerable you have to be vulnerable which means showing lex that your 0.91

00:49:00 feelings are hurt this is as atrocious it's pathetic he doesn't understand the right 0.90

00:49:05 characters this is all a vanity project what it is to be a person he's just giving him therapy 0.87

00:49:10 platitudes yes it's okay to feel not okay and that's what superman's about superman's not about

00:49:17 bounding over buildings or inspiring little children it's about letting them know that

00:49:21 it's okay to not be okay sometimes it's about lecturing your enemies on why you're just as

00:49:26 human as they are and then i'm gonna turn the sound off for this sofa like samson producer booth

00:49:34 again like i i love timpool gentleman he looked me dead in the eye and said he enjoyed this oh

00:49:40 really i hey man you know there's no accounting for taste this is terrible again with the weird

00:49:46 sun flens flare yeah everything's shot on the soundstage everything's overexposed it's like

00:49:52 they retaliated

00:49:53 to Zack Snyder's

00:49:53 colour palette

00:49:54 and were like

00:49:54 we're gonna blind you

00:49:55 yeah 0.87

00:49:57 also Supergirl

00:49:59 lost 85 million dollars

00:50:00 good

00:50:01 so that would probably

00:50:02 be why he's

00:50:02 why he's been bounced out

00:50:04 I love watching

00:50:05 my enemies burn their money 0.98

00:50:06 it made less than Morbius

00:50:07 it didn't even get

00:50:11 a second release

00:50:11 at the box office

00:50:12 no no no

00:50:12 it wasn't Morbing time

00:50:13 clearly

00:50:14 Clayface released

00:50:15 in October

00:50:16 and made a

00:50:16 109 million dollars

00:50:18 on a 44 million dollar budget

00:50:19 so basically broke even

00:50:20 when it accounts for

00:50:21 the heavy promotion

00:50:22 that they did for it.

00:50:23 And they're also expecting another flop

00:50:24 with Man of Tomorrow,

00:50:26 the sequel to the Superman movie.

00:50:28 Cosmic But News has had

00:50:28 some really good sources on this.

00:50:29 They've been reporting on this

00:50:30 since like July

00:50:31 that he was going to be fired.

00:50:33 Our sources say Gunn was fired

00:50:34 and the December 1st date

00:50:36 is the whole point.

00:50:37 They wanted Gunn out by December 1st

00:50:38 so they could oversee the editing

00:50:39 and post-production that Gunn

00:50:40 would have had as a final say

00:50:42 in Man of Tomorrow,

00:50:43 which right now

00:50:44 they're not excited about.

00:50:45 It's too bloated

00:50:46 and some characters

00:50:47 and even Easter eggs

00:50:48 may not make the final cut,

00:50:49 which is why they had to fire him now

00:50:50 and not wait to the end of his contract in April.

00:50:53 Apparently, Gunn was kitchen-sinking cameos and fan service,

00:50:56 a lot of which may not make it to the actual screen.

00:50:59 And Latcham starts on December 1st,

00:51:01 which means that Man of Tarawarra will be delivered on their watch

00:51:04 if they don't scrap it.

00:51:05 The real budget for Lanterns also leaked,

00:51:07 which meant that they spent way more than the actual viewing figures they got back.

00:51:11 And it turns out if you kill Hal Jordan in the first episode 0.62

00:51:13 and lecture white people for eight episodes, 0.96

00:51:15 fans don't like it very much.

00:51:17 For the sake of time, I've got to ask you to accelerate a little bit.

00:51:19 Okay, there's no worries.

00:51:20 And then he actually defended the treatment of Hal Jordan and Lanterns,

00:51:24 and he said to Fan Backlash,

00:51:26 sorry if you don't like it,

00:51:27 and if you were expecting DCU to follow your favourite comics continuity,

00:51:32 then that's probably not going to happen.

00:51:34 Why would we do that?

00:51:35 Who else are you expecting to watch these programs?

00:51:38 Yeah.

00:51:38 Apparently Wonder Woman is also in his Man of Tomorrow movie,

00:51:41 but James Gunn wrote it as an interchangeable character.

00:51:43 Okay.

00:51:44 So Wonder Woman is so disposable.

00:51:46 So the hedging? 0.53

00:51:47 Yeah. 0.99

00:51:48 She might be Maxima, she might be Wonder Woman, 0.99

00:51:50 She might be another random character.

00:51:51 We're just going to slap the character's label on there

00:51:53 and not actually write any characters according to continuity.

00:51:56 They did say they were going to star in her own movie,

00:51:58 but apparently not.

00:51:59 David Corenswit is also apparently out of Superman.

00:52:01 He only had a three-movie contract,

00:52:03 and despite his much-touted replacement as Henry Cavill's successor,

00:52:09 he's apparently done with it too

00:52:10 because he's probably sick of working with James Gunn.

00:52:12 Again, the astroturf that I saw comparing him with Henry Cavill's

00:52:15 was, look, he smiles in the film.

00:52:18 So does Henry Cavill.

00:52:19 well they that was one of the big boosts i was like well now i'm definitely gonna watch this

00:52:24 yeah and so now skydance is setting about dismantling the entire dc slate so everything

00:52:29 else that they set up except for man of tomorrow and a hbo series is not going to come out uh

00:52:35 lantern season two is cancelled uh filming's just wrapped on people the gorilla grod but i doubt

00:52:39 that they're gonna actually release that i kind of want to see yeah i do now yeah and lads our

00:52:44 watch party apparently they had they had absolutely loads of stuff planned but again nobody cared

00:52:50 they wanted an amanda waller series they wanted swamp thing teen times a bane and deathstroke

00:52:55 movie blue blue beetle animated series sergeant rock none of these z for vendetta tv oh god you

00:53:02 can only imagine how awful trump will be in that yeah oh god so none of this is getting done good

00:53:09 except for the batman part two which has been delayed to 2028 again and um i'm sorry to break

00:53:14 it to you harry but uh this is two-face that's not harvey dent i presume yeah um camp black man

00:53:23 is going to be two-face you know i i he he was the worst part of bullet train if anybody saw that

00:53:31 that's that's really damning he was i thought it was a fun enough film with some cool action but

00:53:37 he was the most annoying part in it by far yeah so good news everyone uh james gunn can no longer

00:53:43 display his cuck fetish on screen uh we might get some wholesome movies for once and uh

00:53:48 without the chuds you lose on a long enough timeline quentin tarantino's getting vindicated 0.94

00:53:55 isn't he so i'm talking about his foot fetish yeah what well there's worse things that you

00:54:01 could have indulged right well this is a self-report well i suppose so but better call

00:54:05 saul indulges quite a lot in the whole foot thing and that's an amazing show well i'm not like into

00:54:10 to it but like are you sure yeah absolutely i have a friend as levels of like disgusting fetish go 0.97

00:54:16 writing yourself as you know salma hick sticking a foot in your mouth like i can see why like 1.00

00:55:01 want to quickly go through any of them uh off topic please don't tell me you guys have fallen

00:55:04 in for the anti-data center propaganda?

00:55:06 Not really. I don't have particularly strong feelings

00:55:08 about it. Yeah, it's just infrastructure.

00:55:10 It might be necessary, but also I don't want Indians 1.00

00:55:12 to have more capacity to make 1.00

00:55:14 AI-generated slop. They cut out the part

00:55:16 Superman shared his feelings with Lois Lane. She got the

00:55:18 ick and broke up with him.

00:55:20 Get bail money for ex-boyfriend Lobo.

00:55:23 Sigel Stone says

00:55:24 if we can finally 0.99

00:55:25 shit-can James Gunn, then we can 0.98

00:55:28 fire Robert Kurtzman for ruining Star Trek, and 0.99

00:55:30 fire Amazon for ruining Stargate.

00:55:32 Probably. Who's still in control of Star Wars

00:55:34 at this point, because they're still churning out crap. 0.97

00:55:36 It's not Kathleen Kennedy, is it? 0.99

00:55:38 It's Filoni, isn't it?

00:55:39 Paladin who defeats all the evil guys while shouting Latin prayers. 0.99

00:55:42 Brackets, I don't read comics. 0.98

00:55:43 Yeah, I don't either. That's what I'd expect.

00:55:45 I'm faced.

00:55:46 Anyway, let's carry on.

00:55:50 Well, first they came for the mid-2000s metrosexuals,

00:55:54 and I said nothing, for I was not a mid-2000s metrosexual.

00:55:58 You're a late-90s one.

00:55:59 I cheered it on. I was like, get the rest of them.

00:56:01 And then they came for the mid-2010s Wokesters, and I said,

00:56:06 have you made sure you got all the mid-2000s metrosexuals?

00:56:09 Because it seems that they are one by one being knocked down.

00:56:13 And it is curious as to the timing I've seen you and a lot of other people asking

00:56:17 why it is exactly that Russell Brand has been taken out

00:56:21 and immediately has been followed up with David Walliams.

00:56:24 Is this kind of a diversionary thing?

00:56:26 Are they trying to keep people off of the scent of the fact

00:56:28 that the entire industry is completely corrupted with this kind of behavior.

00:56:33 Philip Schofield, Hugh Edwards.

00:56:34 Yes.

00:56:35 Is it just a 15 minutes hate kind of thing?

00:56:38 Either way, what has happened is that one of the kind of leading figures

00:56:42 of mid-2000s metrosexuality, for anybody who doesn't remember back then,

00:56:47 it was this big phenomenon where in response to blokey masculine lad culture,

00:56:52 they wanted to promote people like Russell Brand, David Walliams 0.76

00:56:55 as this kind of like campy male sexuality oh is he straight is he gay we're going to keep you 0.78

00:57:01 guessing all you want to know is don't go backstage with him right that's what you all really need to

00:57:08 know my wife it was it was the other day when this was coming out my wife was like oh right yeah yeah

00:57:12 his wife must be devastated and i was like he has a wife he's got a son i didn't know i just had

00:57:17 assumed he was well my the biggest surprise for me on this whole story is that it wasn't young

00:57:21 boys coming out yeah yeah so far yeah but well yeah yeah yeah yeah don't count your chickens

00:57:31 either way you know this whole metrosexuality david williams is one of the big ones um russell

00:57:36 brand was one as well there was that whole show queer eye for the straight guy where they wanted

00:57:41 to dress straight men up like gay men it was this whole thing basically like defanging men

00:57:46 defanging men from being too blokey uh because that's going to scare the host but specifically

00:57:51 in the 90s there was a kind of football lads culture that was most uh emblematically uh shown

00:57:59 in skinner and biddy ill's um it's coming home that's it right that was unbelievably popular and

00:58:05 and to be honest with you like i found it dull like i was never a football guy right so i was

00:58:09 just like okay yeah that's football culture i don't care and you'd hear that song everywhere

00:58:14 right and like the song vindaloo as well that kind of blokey lad culture played into it and

00:58:19 then you had like uh the big breakfast which is kind of a lad culture thing um in the late 90s

00:58:24 and but it was all it was all fine it wasn't me the lads as well didn't you load in fhm and stuff

00:58:30 like that it was all fine it wasn't mead spirited and it wasn't like we hate women or anything like

00:58:35 that right it was not nothing like that it was a veneration of kelly brooke a lot of it and people

00:58:39 like that so it was it was all like fine and it was quite domesticated even then um but you are 0.78

00:58:45 absolutely on point where you say this is about essentially suppressing this blokey lad culture

00:58:50 and promoting this weird metrosexual culture the problem is any man who sees these kinds of men

00:58:57 prancing about will be able to tell you that this kind of these allegations that have come out about

00:59:03 david walliams the conviction for russell brand is the least surprising thing in the world everybody

00:59:10 can recognize uh what it is in it was metrosexuality in the mid 2000s by the mid 2010s

00:59:17 what it had turned into was men dying their hair and saying that they were woke so they could get

00:59:21 with all of the liberal girls on their university campus you can smell this thing a mile off if you

00:59:28 are a guy you know what these guys are after they don't actually care about you know being 0.94

00:59:33 transgressive or woke values or anything they're just there to try and get the girls alone and

00:59:39 disarm them and make them feel comfortable but it actually absolutely was a kind of proto-woke

00:59:44 culture that like all of the sort of traditional masculine boundaries were being deliberately

00:59:51 subverted in order to you know erase the the concepts of right and wrong in the way that we

00:59:58 think basically either way this big report has come out just yesterday in the guardian in

01:00:04 conjunction with itv where david walliams formerly of little britain and come fly with me noted

01:00:10 children's author have you read his first book no the boy in the dress it's about a young boy who

01:00:18 finds porno mags under his dad's bed and then starts experimenting playing dress up with his

01:00:22 female friends and then gets the entire football team to trune out so the autobiographical i want

01:00:27 early 2010s yeah i told you and the the the heroic character in it is uh i think it's mr singh who

01:00:34 runs the corner shop that sells him fashion mags well that all makes perfect sense to me

01:00:39 he was also a former Britain's Got Talent judge a load of allegations have come out against him

01:00:46 being like which are publicized in this article and in an ITV documentary where it's a three-year

01:00:55 investigation by the two of them where he was alleged to have preyed on teenage girls as young

01:01:01 as 15 now his behavior around women is nothing new weirdly in the mid-2000s along with the kind

01:01:07 of like public oh i'm so camp and gay he also had loads of like tabloids reporting on his

01:01:14 weird love affairs and sexual affairs with random random different women and he was also dropped by

01:01:21 his publisher just a few years ago well just last year over supposedly inappropriate behavior

01:01:27 towards like women within harper collins but the big controversy is related to the really bad stuff

01:01:35 in this is really that he was a massive creep and was by the looks of it trying to seduce and groom

01:01:42 teenagers i will i will have some issues to bring up with this article because like so much else

01:01:49 with these kinds of reports it includes within the really bad and genuinely terrible stuff like

01:01:56 trying to prey on 15-year-old girls when you're a man in your mid-30s, it includes a lot of stuff

01:02:02 where you look at it and you go, okay, you're stretching it there, which only serves to dilute

01:02:06 the actually major allegations. But I'll go through some of the major stuff here. And just

01:02:10 to make it clear as well, these are all still allegations. As far as I can tell, there is no

01:02:15 police investigation going into this. This is all being put through the public eye through these

01:02:21 news reports and he is denying these allegations but here is what is being reported and why you're

01:02:27 probably going to see his books vanishing off shelves very very soon and have his name scrubbed

01:02:32 from the public records so they use aliases for the alleged victims in this saying alex had

01:02:38 returned from school and was watching the simpsons in her bedroom when the phone rang she distinctly

01:02:43 recalls the first thing he said hi is david walliams you know off the telly in january 2004

01:02:51 Alex was 15, studying for her GCSEs.

01:02:55 Walliams was 32, and a rising star with the comedy sketch show Little Britain.

01:03:00 Here is an image of her at 15 meeting David Walliams at a signing,

01:03:06 where it explains in the story that he wanted to, quote-unquote,

01:03:10 help her write, help her get into writing, and stay in touch with her.

01:03:15 And so he asked for her phone number and other contact details.

01:03:18 yes Alex says she gave him some printouts a script she'd written included a cover letter

01:03:24 with her contacts when he did phone her she was so excited that immediately after the call she

01:03:28 made a record of the conversation saying David Walliams phoned me and she noted that Walliams

01:03:35 had been surprised when she told him she was still at school asking her right so you're what

01:03:39 15 16 you can see immediately he's like testing seeing what's going on the notes describe how

01:03:46 they talked about her exams as well as the enticing possibility of him getting tickets for

01:03:50 her to watch a live performance of Little Britain. At the end of the call, he told her to stay in

01:03:58 touch. He gave her his email address. After she reassured him, she would not pass it on to anyone.

01:04:04 He said that he trusts me. All very exciting for a 15-year-old, I'm sure. Over the next two years,

01:04:10 Alex says, she and Walliams spoke on the phone on a couple of occasions and exchanged multiple

01:04:14 emails she was amazed that a rising star of the comedy world was suggesting he could help her

01:04:20 by the time she was 17 she alleges they were having sex and the story continues this is one

01:04:28 of quite a few maybe half a dozen stories which are included in this article and you can see here

01:04:36 he has sent a postcard a little britain postcard what charming pair they make with a little love

01:04:41 heart written on it when she would have been, what, 15, 16, 17. It carries on saying that

01:04:46 Walliams had been in touch several times since the first unexpected phone call 11 months earlier,

01:04:51 so we're in 2005 now. In February 2004, he'd sent a postcard on the front. He'd drawn the love heart.

01:04:57 Then he had gotten in touch via email a bunch of times. Then his interest appears to have cooled.

01:05:04 In 2005, over 19 months, it gave her the impression of a school girl desperate for support

01:05:10 with her aspiring career but Williams rarely responded and when he did the replies were brief

01:05:15 even curt until until all of a sudden in October 2005 things changed Alex sent him an email about

01:05:25 a gig she was planning on going to in London and Williams replied late at night saying this and

01:05:29 here's a pure transcript of it how are you how old are you now what are you up to are you still

01:05:35 writing David it's not exactly subtle have you crossed the legal threshold just just straight

01:05:40 in there quite shameless really just like uh oh it's so great to hate are you old enough now

01:05:44 are you old enough yet it's a quagmire family guy yeah like literally doesn't quagmire in one

01:05:50 point he just says like oh meg let me know when it's your 18th birthday or something like that

01:05:53 this is literally that kind of behavior and frankly to any normal man at the time or looking

01:06:01 back now right obviously this is what he's going to be it's like there's a notorious thing with

01:06:06 like pop punk vocalists in pop punk bands and they had the whole metrosexual thing they had

01:06:11 the big emo hair men in their mid-30s trying to look like they're still 17 years old and appeal

01:06:16 to all the teenage girls get the teenage girls in the crowd wouldn't you know he's been caught

01:06:21 out texting minors on instagram every single time and that's what's that's what's happened here

01:06:27 alex who by then was nearly 17 and a half responded she was quote old enough to go drinking

01:06:33 haha and sent four close-ups of her face in two she's smiling and looks relaxed the others show

01:06:38 her lying on her bed staring flirtatiously into the camera volumes was 34 so clearly she was

01:06:43 starstruck she got caught up in this and involved herself in this as well but he was 34 should have

01:06:50 known way better than to be doing this what are you doing emailing 17 year olds when you're 34

01:06:55 years old alex says that later that evening they spoke on the phone and that volumes just suggested

01:07:00 meeting up for sex oh 17 now yeah let's do it again i'm just shocked he's straight

01:07:08 you know i'm actually not surprised this is the kind of thing that they did 0.98

01:07:12 yeah with women and uh yeah she went over to his and had sex yeah and then they met again 0.98

01:07:18 a second time when they had oral sex apparently she says all three sexual encounters were 0.99

01:07:23 consensual but they were brief on two of them they had sex uh and then he asked her to wait 0.92

01:07:29 in a cafe and then called her to come home almost like he knew that it would look really bad if he

01:07:33 just was caught in the street escorting a 17 year old back to his own house. Alex is one of multiple

01:07:40 women who allege that Williams abused Williams abuses power and position as a celebrity to prey 1.00

01:07:45 on them for sexual purposes. Some like Alex say that interactions with William were traumatizing 1.00

01:07:49 and have requested that pseudonyms be used. Most say they were over 18 when they had interactions

01:07:54 with him but a woman whom the guardian is calling jade alleges that like alex she met him when she

01:08:00 was 15 she says that weeks after he first made contact when she still would have been 15 so it's

01:08:06 not so as obviously it's creepy it's weird it looks like grooming with this girl who was 17 by

01:08:12 the time they first had sex which is technically legal but massively frowned on um this girl was

01:08:19 still 15 when he invited her to his house and uh tried to have sex with her all right so in summer

01:08:25 2007 gives the uh story of how this one happened uh summer 2007 jade clicked onto myspace blast

01:08:35 from the past there she was 15 her date of birth was on her profile page so no way no way whatsoever

01:08:42 to misunderstand what's going on here uh then her inbox was uh had a direct message from

01:08:50 walliams in it so just just a direct message from him uh she says that uh she was shocked

01:08:58 that david walliams was messaging her on my space yeah i bet i bet she was i ignored it but about

01:09:05 10 minutes later she remembers she received another message this time she replied and

01:09:10 walliams asked for her phone number sorry i love this jade was not exactly a fan of little britain

01:09:14 no no that's awful um jade recalls how after she had posted on a comment uh below oh sorry sorry

01:09:22 um walliams gave the 15 year old his email address the same address he used to message

01:09:27 alex when she was 15 jade says she and walliams started to write each other sometimes she used

01:09:32 her school email account to respond to him could it be any more obvious that she was a 15 year old

01:09:39 school girl which he clearly knew in august 2007 a few days after he turned 36 jade who was then 15

01:09:46 and five months says he arranged to meet her at fresh and wild a high-end grocery store and cafe

01:09:52 in soho central london jade was excited saying i think when you see someone on telly you sort of

01:09:57 feel like you know them she says you sort of feel well it'll be fine won't it so she was just a

01:10:00 star what's weird about this is it's got kind of pakistani grooming gang vibe to it because they

01:10:05 all knew you know they would all make jokes about david welliams doing this at like comedy awards

01:10:11 and on their panel shows and stuff like that and so it's like they'll they'll kind of knew it's

01:10:15 really weird yeah and this is this these are the kind of guys who are promoted in the culture as

01:10:19 well yeah yeah again as a as a bloke you kind of just know when you're getting that vibe off of

01:10:25 some guy well i was gonna say as i'm trying to come across as safe as a panel of now dads with

01:10:28 daughters like my internal alarm bells were ringing at all times when you're reading out these details

01:10:34 yeah of course yeah but the thing is like you've got to remember like like all the blokes in the

01:10:41 in the 2000s hated these guys right they they these these were popular these guys were popular

01:10:47 with women and gays and gays and the media in general the media in general you repeat yourself

01:10:51 exactly so like these these were not like the lads you know lads were not watching these things

01:10:57 lads were watching like you know badil and robot wars but like like you know like there was like

01:11:03 a section of tv for the lads and then it was like this was the sort of like this is what i mean by

01:11:08 proto-woke it's very like you don't get any of this sense from red dwarf yeah exactly right but

01:11:13 that was from the 90s like yeah but it's stretched into the 2000s well yeah probably but the later

01:11:18 series were not great but the point is yeah you don't get this from red dwarf because it's not

01:11:22 the same culture right but this this was a very particular culture and it was deliberately anti-lad 0.99

01:11:26 as you were saying and so like like russell brand was the most insufferable like he everyone i knew 0.99

01:11:33 He just wanted to punch him in the face. 0.96

01:11:34 And Walliamson was just, like, gross. 0.98

01:11:37 Well, carrying on the story, apparently he was already there when she arrived.

01:11:41 They have a few words together, and within the first few words,

01:11:45 he just immediately starts asking questions like,

01:11:47 have you ever had sex before?

01:11:51 You would think that he would act with a little bit of caution

01:11:53 if he's soliciting minors rather than just, like, messaging them on my space?

01:11:57 If all of these allegations are to be believed,

01:12:00 and to be honest given the already documented um cases that we have from the mid-2000s where

01:12:07 he would contact people who were like 18 20 years old on myspace and this was documented at the time

01:12:13 he would contact them through their social media on myspace and myspace and other social platforms

01:12:17 and then just be really pushy he was clearly like a bit of a sex pest yeah right trying to use oh i'm 0.97

01:12:23 i'm a i'm a famous celebrity now i'm just going to try and get as much sex from random women as 0.97

01:12:28 possible oh i've seen this girl come across my timeline on myspace and then sometimes it might

01:12:33 be a 15 year old girl clearly he thought oh i'll push my look here see what i can get away it really

01:12:37 does make you wonder about the culture that they created that protected all of this though

01:12:41 because they would joke about it in public but no one got fired for any of this you know this is all

01:12:45 completely normal and they just accepted it as part of life so so up to this point you know he's

01:12:51 had the stuff we've seen the allegations with that alex girl which was bad enough and he's gone to

01:12:55 meet a 15 year old girl at a cafe that's terrible but nothing strictly yeah alleged nothing illegal

01:13:03 has happened as of yet but then the allegation goes on with jade saying that they finished their

01:13:09 coffees he offered to walk her towards the tube station they were walking down a side street when

01:13:14 he edged her into a corner then he kissed her and she says that she let him and kissed him back but 0.93

01:13:20 she didn't know what to do really yeah um and then he took her home and tried to have sex with her

01:13:27 and she's 15 years old at the time and whether or not she was you know starstruck and like leaned

01:13:33 into it she's 15 years old she's a kid uh lawyers for walliams to be clear has say he never engaged

01:13:41 in grooming young women he denies that he had any sexual contact with jade they say the allegations

01:13:46 of serious criminal conduct are false because that is by far the worst allegation because she

01:13:50 is 15 the allegation is that he actively tried to have sex with her and it does fit a pattern of

01:13:56 behavior that can be corroborated with accounts that have come almost 20 years before now it's

01:14:02 just that these accounts also have it that it's 15 year olds which makes which takes it into

01:14:07 illegal territory something that's really bad although i'd say this kind of culture being

01:14:13 promoted by television and media

01:14:15 at the time with these guys

01:14:16 was dangerous because yeah 0.99

01:14:18 you were kind of like getting young girls

01:14:21 to love these guys who were just putting on

01:14:23 the personas so they could disarm them

01:14:24 any dad would have been able to see exactly

01:14:27 what that guy was after immediately

01:14:28 and told you not to go for it

01:14:30 if this was my daughter meeting

01:14:32 this wouldn't be

01:14:35 going the way it's gone here

01:14:36 but what I find really interesting is that

01:14:38 Little Britain was produced by the BBC

01:14:40 yep

01:14:41 Do we think that Walliams wasn't aware of the history of the BBC covering up for people like Jimmy Savile?

01:14:48 The institutional culture of the BBC.

01:14:50 Yes, our stars may well be doing terrible things, but of course we protect them because they're our stars,

01:14:56 which has been what the BBC has done for literally decades.

01:15:01 So, I mean, we're like, oh my God, how could he be doing this? Isn't he worried about his career?

01:15:05 No, it doesn't seem like he was, right?

01:15:07 See, the problem with this article, and you see this with a lot of these sorts of things that come out, is it mixes a lot of these genuinely really bad and criminal allegations in with some things which are, frankly, women who were of legal age that's less frowned upon, who should have known better, who have clearly had an encounter with a guy who, by that point, was kind of a notorious sex pest and creep, and then decided afterwards that they had an issue with it.

01:15:36 for instance one of the accounts is of an 18 year old girl who had been picked out of the crowd at

01:15:42 Britain's Got Talent went backstage nothing happened backstage there are other allegations

01:15:48 that he would pick out like 16 and 17 year olds which is terrible but then you get the ones where

01:15:52 it's like oh I was 18 years old I went backstage he invited me around to his house to drink wine

01:15:57 with one of my friends who was also 18 so we went to his house to drink wine and then we all got

01:16:02 drunk and he tried to kiss me and i said you know i've got a boyfriend what are you doing and it's

01:16:07 like i'm sorry what did you expect you you were 18 years old you have a boyfriend what are you doing

01:16:12 accepting this guy's invitation to go back to his house you know what is going to happen and 18 years

01:16:18 old is generally understood societally as the point where you're supposed to start taking

01:16:23 responsibility for yourself so mixing those kinds of claims in the worst it's very similar to the

01:16:28 russell brown stuff because obviously there are you know he's been convicted of rape and sexual

01:16:32 assault but there was also a slew of he made me feel icky and it's like okay so the regret yeah

01:16:39 yeah regret and even some of the russell brand allegations again i don't disbelieve them but

01:16:43 they were like i got myself into the situation because i wanted to throw myself at russell

01:16:46 brand and he wanted to do something else an additional sex act that i did not consent to

01:16:50 and it's like you knew what kind of person russell brand was don't get yourself into that

01:16:54 Well, no, here's the thing.

01:16:55 Any man could have told you the kind of person the Russell Brand was.

01:17:01 But these women were starstruck and they were also disarmed by his persona and the media image of him.

01:17:09 Oh, he's just a charming camp guy.

01:17:11 He probably really cares about women and women's boundaries and therefore wouldn't force me to do anything I don't want to do.

01:17:18 Whereas men will go, no, that guy is the most likely to try and push you past your boundaries.

01:17:22 yeah but i don't think that was the culture it wasn't like because that that this is kind of

01:17:27 2010's woke culture that you're projecting backwards like the the issue of boundaries

01:17:32 just wasn't that important in the 2000s i think the metrosexual thing was kind of the start of

01:17:37 this whole like oh here's a man who will respect your boundaries because you know he's he's basically

01:17:41 like a gay best friend but straight yeah but that's the thing like russell brand did not do

01:17:48 this i mean david walliams didn't do this like that it the the jokes were always oh these guys

01:17:53 are going to go beyond your boundaries but they're metrosexual and charming so it's not like

01:17:56 a man who's just gonna rugged man who's just gonna grab you and do terrible things like

01:18:00 conan the barbarian exactly they're not the ball from the novels you've been reading right yeah

01:18:04 i don't even know if they have those novels i don't know but what the point is like it was

01:18:08 like cheeky right it's like oh yeah i'm gonna go and do this thing that you didn't want and maybe

01:18:13 i'll go a little bit fine i'll say sorry oh i'm so i'm so sorry blah blah blah and it was like

01:18:17 it was slimy and sleazy it was the gad sad sort of sneaky effort right they they weren't concerned

01:18:24 about boundaries they and they that that's all like 2010s feminism you know but this is it you 0.99

01:18:31 are right it was slimy men like using their sort of disarming charming metrosexual queer personality 0.84

01:18:38 to be like yeah no no it was okay that i went a bit too far and you'll be okay you know either 0.96

01:18:42 way the worst one in here is some like intern at harper collins or britain's got talent i forget

01:18:48 which one who says that she was in her mid-20s ended up going back to his house and having 0.93

01:18:55 frontal lobe isn't even full having sensual sex with him and then said afterwards oh but i really 0.94

01:19:01 felt that there was no power imbalance i'm sorry wind your neck in yeah and to the guardian and 0.94

01:19:06 the other news reports yeah yeah exactly right that want to mix in this kind of like

01:19:13 petty bs with genuinely damaging and and criminal allegations against the guy all you're actually

01:19:23 doing is just diminishing the actual criminal so i guess the question of why are they doing all of

01:19:28 this right because like you say like this this is what was this a three-year investigation is

01:19:32 It's an attack on male sexuality, not on predators.

01:19:35 Yes, here you go.

01:19:37 Yeah, right.

01:19:37 And this was the same with Russell Brand in 2023,

01:19:40 where they were like, oh, it's a, you know,

01:19:41 we've done a three-year investigation for, was it,

01:19:44 Channel 4 dispatches or something.

01:19:46 And the Times.

01:19:47 And it's like, okay, well, first things first,

01:19:48 all of this was completely public for decades.

01:19:51 So, you know, investigation is literally just watching the footage

01:19:55 you guys recorded and broadcast to the world.

01:19:57 I mean, there is footage of him on stage in 2007,

01:20:01 playing a character but as part of playing the character pulls down this guy's trousers a 16

01:20:06 year old boy's pants oh is it and tries to dry hump him on stage right and then yeah yeah set

01:20:14 your watch the allegations this is what i mean the idea of consent wasn't actually one of those

01:20:18 things they cared about right um but russell brand uh like there's there's at the sort of

01:20:23 2004 comedy awards or something russell brand making a joke about him you know the comedy

01:20:28 was is 15 years old so it's going home with david walliams and stuff like this oh right yeah it was

01:20:34 jonathan ross oh yeah i've got that in here there we go 15 years old

01:20:39 it's drunk it's unpredictable it's probably going home with david walliams

01:20:47 and there he is laughing along yeah right this would have been this would have been after his

01:20:53 encounter with the 15 year old so he's probably just thinking like that's so me and it's the

01:20:58 same thing with russell brown like they all knew and they would make public jokes about this i mean

01:21:02 like russell brown's been on like loads of chat shows where he's basically saying not necessarily

01:21:06 that i'm going to rape someone but like the implication of what he's saying is that's what

01:21:10 he's going to do it's like ha ha isn't he funny in a non-threatening metrosexual way it's like well 0.96

01:21:14 but the the question is why is this happening now then you know they've decided

01:21:18 in the last couple of years actually was going to go through and just tank all of these guys

01:21:23 with like and like you say it's it's not just i mean they obviously have done certain things wrong

01:21:27 But here's a suite of other things that made women feel gross and icky and therefore, you know, just complete character assassination.

01:21:34 So we're just full cancellation. And in Russell Brown's case, 10 and a half years in jail.

01:21:38 Well, the problem is, why are they doing it now?

01:21:40 You can't just advocate pure sexual hedonism following the sexual revolution and then have it be that at any moment, if you just if you make her feel icky, she gets to rescind that.

01:21:53 Regretic was right.

01:21:53 because that is actually acknowledging that sex is about more than just physical hedonistic pleasure

01:21:59 and has a greater development and dimension to it which is kind of the exact opposite of the

01:22:05 sexual revolution and that whole and that whole cultural project but why not because because the

01:22:10 sexual revolution was supposed to be entirely about sex is just kind of something fun that

01:22:14 you do with friends yeah well yeah yeah that's obviously what they were trying to make it but

01:22:19 but why are they doing this like there's okay russell brown became a right winger as in a

01:22:25 conspiracy theorist who didn't like covid lockdowns and all that sort of stuff and the

01:22:29 wef right i don't think that makes him a right winger i mean there are loads of like he said

01:22:32 he's not right wing so of course he's not but like but the point is he's not like an orthodox

01:22:36 left winger so that looks fairly explicable but what was david walliams doing david walliams was

01:22:41 still up until you know he starts getting dropped by his publishers at the end of last year he was

01:22:46 still very much entrenched in the establishment obviously he'd made a lot of racy jokes back with

01:22:51 the come fly with me in little britain days but during blm him and matt lucas had made sure to

01:22:56 apologize for it it might be a genuine case of just the evidence mounted up they had all of

01:23:02 these allegations against him it's time to release it they've been trying to release it for a bit he

01:23:05 made this statement it's basically 20 years there is there is a timeline here uh so on the back in

01:23:12 may the garden united v send a letter to him asking him to comment uh after receiving these

01:23:17 letters he tried to kill himself it's like philip schofield yeah he was later admitted to he was

01:23:21 sectioned uh and then in summer uh he leaves the hospital and tries to kill himself again

01:23:27 and then he's sectioned again and then he's discharged from the nhs in september uh after

01:23:34 it's deemed that it's not necessary to keep him there and then he tries to file a high court

01:23:40 injunction to avoid people um avoid people actually naming him right yeah and he isn't

01:23:49 sorry he uh it fails yeah it fails it dismisses the bid and now the day after the the injunction

01:23:57 fails it all gets released out into the public but i just don't understand the timing of this

01:24:02 because i mean like i said these are 20 years more than after the events actually took place

01:24:08 and the thing is this isn't even like the height of the me too movement right me too is in 2018

01:24:13 so why are we eight years on from that why are we doing that now like i mean don't get me wrong i'm

01:24:18 i hated all of these people and i am loving watching them crashing and burning i'm genuinely 0.65

01:24:25 enjoying it but why they really felt on the ropes off the johnny deaf man bird so they need to

01:24:31 protract the witch hunts or the in this case i don't know that's a genuine i don't know that

01:24:38 there necessarily has to be a conspiratorial

01:24:40 angle. Is it just that journalists

01:24:42 love taking scalps and they've run out of

01:24:44 scalps to take and it's like, well, we've always

01:24:46 had these guys in the back burner. It might

01:24:48 also be the fact that, you know,

01:24:50 there is no actual criminal trial coming

01:24:52 out of the other end of this. There was an expedited

01:24:54 trial over whether Walliams should be

01:24:56 named and he tried to file an injunction to stop

01:24:58 himself being named, but that failed.

01:25:00 He has been named. This could be fishing.

01:25:03 This could be fishing

01:25:04 for more people to come out, some of whom

01:25:06 might actually try and sue him over this charges weren't filed against brand until after the

01:25:11 dispatcher's documentary came out so it encouraged the victims to come forward and several of them

01:25:16 were fake charges he wasn't convicted on them so it's like okay it's like a fishing they're using

01:25:21 they're using the weight of the allegations the amount of them all adding up to try and we're 0.60

01:25:27 showing that it's safe now to come out and destroy this guy and so it's got this sort of very female

01:25:32 gendered power dynamic behind it because like a lot of the reporters are all women who are just 0.74

01:25:37 like yeah you know i always kind of you know i don't know whether any of them had relationships

01:25:41 with them or something like this i don't know what if this was me right and so there's this 0.60

01:25:45 kind of like okay vengeful take revenge on the metrosexuals all you want i said i hated these

01:25:50 guys either way if the allegations are true and we already knew the guy was a bit of a pest back

01:25:56 in the day and carried on being a pest which is not surprising whatsoever if the allegations 0.90

01:26:00 are true then potentially he tried to have sex with a 15 year old so yeah yeah not guy worth

01:26:09 defending but also not anyone that anybody is really all that surprised by having done things

01:26:17 having supposedly done things like this and uh it's more a commentary on the culture that they

01:26:22 created right we're going to suppress ladism now traditional ladism as sort of vulgar and

01:26:28 unimpressive as it was was still at least traditional right it had a wholesome relationship 0.55

01:26:34 between men and women it's it's kind of the dino culture now it's the that's the kind of inheritor

01:26:38 of that culture it was never evil it was never hateful it was never you should take advantage

01:26:43 of women and do all this sort of stuff and that's why you were saying earlier the russell brown

01:26:47 talking to the white nationalists back in the day yeah has aged really well for the white

01:26:51 nationalists because they're like can't you be respectful can't you be decent and russell brand

01:26:56 is effing and blinding in terms of their pure manners yeah in terms of their the character

01:27:00 right you know whether you agree with what they believe or whatever but they they didn't come out 0.97

01:27:04 of this looking like a bunch of disgusting rapists and he did and yet he was the toast of the town

01:27:09 they were condemned you know so it's just it's really interesting how like the culture and 0.98

01:27:14 well surprised the bbc creates another series of sex pests you know we'll we'll see i'm sure that

01:27:19 the overall cultural effect of this is going to be that his name gets wiped from a lot of stuff

01:27:25 fantastic uh and that his books get taken down harper collins already already dropped him uh

01:27:30 but we'll see if any actual criminal charges come from this i wouldn't be surprised if now that this

01:27:34 has all come out more people come out with allegations against him supposedly again if

01:27:39 it's true that he was taking 16 17 year olds backstage and his britain's got talent days as

01:27:43 well plenty of them i'm sure are getting ready to come out some of them might be ready to file

01:27:47 legal action as get against them as well so we'll see where this develops okay um we're running out

01:27:53 time but let's have we got video comments today samson uh sorry yep we've got loads so no worries

01:27:59 sorry this took so long but uh i i had to vent door says could bringing this up about white men

01:28:05 be to show how it's all men and not just the grooming gangs well you did make that comparison

01:28:09 but they they they already say that right they already say that and this does this feels more 0.52

01:28:14 like women destroying men who are taking advantage of their status over women back in the 2000s right 0.77

01:28:24 so it feels like kind of like it's a karmic uh strike redressing of gendered grievances

01:28:29 on 2000s men anyway let's let's go to the first video comment of course

01:28:35 the postcode lottery is real like if you're young and you live in like blackpool

01:28:40 your chances of getting on in life are much worse 1.00

01:28:46 well shit 0.97

01:28:53 bad luck zesty it doesn't mean it's over it's just you know you've got to work hard it's nearly 0.96

01:29:01 sorry patriot it's borderline yeah have you ever noticed that this whole volume doesn't work

01:29:06 both parties are the same it's just a mess aside by the left because and that one works on the

01:29:13 right because it's the left who votes religiously i mean like all the time because they may want to

01:29:19 fight the same way for 60 years and that's how they dominated culture and politics for

01:29:25 that entire time don't fall for the side up yeah but the problem is both parties are the same when

01:29:33 party's populated by leftists so you do need to like again i'm not going to tell americans how

01:29:37 to vote but the fact speaking it's an englishman but the fact yeah the fact that midterms were a

01:29:42 wipeout means take this as your zero seats moment for the love of god never more vivakes no amnesty

01:29:47 just well no that was this that was the um the response but he didn't actually use the

01:29:53 word amnesty yeah he just described one yeah exactly yeah sorry sorry i got that wrong

01:29:58 Let's get to the next comment.

01:30:00 So on the subject of Trump's big loss in the midterms,

01:30:05 recently YouTube presenter Men Need to Be Heard

01:30:07 presented an alternative as to why Republicans lost.

01:30:11 They lost not because of the economy and not because of the war of Iran,

01:30:14 but they lost because they failed in their biggest promise, to help men.

01:30:20 Instead, they did what Republicans always do, renege on the promise.

01:30:23 be Democrat-lite, not rock-ribbed, steel-spined patriotic men. Worse, they stabbed men in the

01:30:31 back with their men-need-to-stop-being-lazy-and-get-back-on-the-plantation. Men didn't

01:30:36 vote for the Democrats. They just didn't show up. So the Russell Brand case best demonstrates the

01:30:43 danger of being a leftist man. Okay, so almost man. Okay, penis owner. The left will defend your

01:30:52 every action no matter how disgusting depraved demented debauched or illegal but that comes 1.00

01:30:58 with a price you must swear eternal fealty to their politics no matter how retarded being a 0.99

01:31:03 leftist is like being a muslim if you ever leave the faith then you will be declared apostate 0.96

01:31:08 just want to be clear that was mislabeled as craig cooper that was michael drybelbus it'd

01:31:14 be great if we could stop mislabeling michael specifically as craig cooper that's the second

01:31:18 time i've seen that happen quick that's also morphed two together quick thing on that uh yes

01:31:23 i agree that there are lots of young men who stayed home because they were treated as the

01:31:27 scapegoat i mean just see it could be sanders ads and vikram swami's comments but the broader

01:31:31 public messaging guys the reason the republicans lost was the iran war it was the iran war on

01:31:35 affordability but you lost your vanguard and you lost your canvas and you lost your candidates 0.98

01:31:39 because you shit on right white men for a great from a great height i mean losing the podcast 0.99

01:31:42 like it it it's they tried to play it down as if it's nothing but it's 1.00

01:31:47 obvious it's catastrophic yeah it's catastrophic so they were playing up as

01:31:51 the reason they won in the 2024 election you can't say probably was you can't

01:31:54 say oh it's going gangbusters and it's really important when you're winning and

01:31:57 then it's insignificant when you're losing anyway let's get the next one

01:32:03 hey gents yeah so here's just something to think of for fun imagine that you're 0.99

01:32:09 facing off the climatic final battle against uh tony blair and klaus schwab and all the assholes 0.93

01:32:16 responsible for the world being in the state it's in and they're bragging that you're never 0.94

01:32:21 gonna beat them you're never gonna undo what they've done and then they see you've got the

01:32:27 infinity gauntlet and you're about to snap away everything they've done what do you say before

01:32:32 you snap you soy face and point because it's the heck and marvel movie oh there will be no final

01:32:40 back it's not the running man it's not hunger games this won't happen i would like to turn it 0.98

01:32:45 into hunger games though that could i'm not gonna get you i shoot president snow and end the heck 0.90

01:32:50 in fascism i've never seen it but i'd like what i'm saying is i'd like to hunt them through the 0.87

01:32:54 woods right okay i don't know anything about the hunger games um is this a new one okay no that's

01:33:01 So we looped back around.
