Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 13th of June and I believe this
00:00:05.500
is podcast 936. We're almost getting to a thousand now and I am very pleased to be joined
00:00:11.360
by Calvin Robinson and Harry Robinson. Hello! I'm flanked by Robinsons today. We're not
00:00:18.040
actually related I don't think. I don't, to be fair I don't, I've not looked into it
00:00:23.260
so maybe, who knows. We could be. And today we're going to be talking about how the grooming
00:00:28.740
gangs never stopped, well I'll be talking about that and Harry's going to be telling
00:00:32.600
us about why Boris Johnson is terrible. As if you even needed more reasons but I've got
00:00:39.000
one. He just wants to make you very hungry. A few, well they all add up on top of each
00:00:44.080
other don't they? I'll be going over a few to remind everybody to begin with. And Calvin
00:00:48.120
is calling for another crusade, this time to France. Yes, let's invade France. Okay. We've
00:00:54.020
been making, I hadn't looked at your segment I didn't realise that's what it was. We've
00:00:58.760
been whittling longbows in the Lotus Seater's office this entire time in preparation. So
00:01:04.280
I suppose it is worth mentioning, I'll be much chastised if I don't mention it, the Islander
00:01:10.680
magazine is going to go off sale on Monday so you need to get it while you can. I have been
00:01:16.860
asked many times who's written for it. We've got a Mr. Carl Benjamin, if you've heard of
00:01:22.060
him. We've got Bo, we've got Raw Egg Nationalist, we've got Morgoth Reviews, we've got lots of
00:01:30.340
the people that I'm not going to spoil. It's a good issue, it really is. It is. It is great
00:01:33.560
stuff, yeah. While we're shilling, Harry, you were asking me about this before we went on
00:01:37.200
it. Yeah, it's a very nice looking pipe. This is going to be on our Lotus Eater's merchandise
00:01:42.520
store very soon. Oh, really? This is my Common Sense Crusade pipe. Lovely. I didn't actually
00:01:48.240
know that we were going to be starting to sell pipes, that's great. Well, I figured
00:01:51.120
t-shirts and mugs are nice, but what does a gentleman need? He needs a pipe. That's an
00:01:54.980
excellent inscription as well. Yeah, it's got the Celtic cross on one side and St. Cuthbert's
00:01:59.520
cross on the other. That's really fantastic. Well, this is some high quality stuff, people,
00:02:04.040
so look out for this when it shows up on the merch site, honestly. I need to get my own
00:02:08.240
thing, maybe my own brand of hunting knife or something. Well, you're both saying you're going to start
00:02:11.600
smoking pipes, right? You've just got one and you want one for your birthday. Yeah.
00:02:15.340
We should film while we're smoking, or we should smoke while we're filming. We won't say anything,
00:02:20.140
we'll just sit here smoking pipes. It'll be a weird, weird bit of ASMR. We could get away with smoking in
00:02:26.580
here, couldn't we? Carl probably wouldn't let us. Yeah, that's a Carl decision. He's not always in
00:02:31.220
the office. I mean, yeah, but it is caught on camera, so he can tell. I never thought you'd be the
00:02:36.260
devil on my shoulder, Calvin. Ask for forgiveness rather than permission. Oh, well, you've heard
00:02:42.900
it here first. Ask Carl, please don't fire me. Well, shall we get into the grooming gang stuff?
00:02:50.080
It seems almost a bit crass after. What a tone change, eh? I know, yeah. So, obviously, we've
00:02:56.660
talked about the grooming gangs quite a lot. However, they haven't actually stopped, even
00:03:01.380
though it's received national press, it's received political attention, obviously, and
00:03:07.700
it's a sort of household thing. Everyone knows about it now, and yet nothing seems to be done,
00:03:13.840
or at least not enough is being done. So, I wanted to run through where we're currently
00:03:18.800
at, as well as some of the new information that has emerged about these grooming gangs,
00:03:24.740
and just the extent of the problem, as well as the fact that the root cause of the problem
00:03:30.140
is not being addressed, in my opinion, and that is the fact that it's British-Pakistani
00:03:35.080
men. Why are we allowing Pakistani men to be here if we know that they have a culture
00:03:42.980
of covering for each other when they abuse white girls? That's the element of it.
00:03:50.320
From all of the reports that we hear about these things when they come out, especially when we've
00:03:54.120
got Ella Hill, which you've got up on screen here, it says within her own bio, we've got here
00:03:59.300
that it was part of basically... Well, I was going to read the whole thing, so you can
00:04:02.300
go ahead if you would like. Oh, I don't want to read it, it's very sad, so you can read
00:04:06.780
that all out loud, but either way, from the reports that we have from people like Ella
00:04:10.240
and other victims who've come out about their experiences, it does seem to be, sadly, a community-orientated
00:04:15.840
thing where even the women within the communities are aware, but they accept it because they
00:04:20.280
either think, well, that's how these men are going to act, or because they believe that
00:04:23.820
the young white girls deserve it because they are outside of... because they're heretics,
00:04:27.820
essentially. Well, I've got friends in these places, in Telford, and some of these survivors
00:04:33.200
have been in touch over the years, and they know that it's still going on. They know that
00:04:36.760
the taxi companies are constantly changing names to re-image and re-brand themselves because
00:04:41.940
these taxis are picking people up and abducting young girls and taking them to the kebab shops
00:04:46.940
and all the pizza shops where these Pakistani Muslim men are raping and abusing young girls,
00:04:51.940
and they all know it's still going on. The police know it's still going on. The establishment
00:04:55.940
do, but nothing is done about it. This is going to end in vigilante.
00:04:59.940
I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest, because it's one of those things where there is a way
00:05:05.940
of solving it, but if the law doesn't do anything about it, well, then people are going to have
00:05:10.940
to take justice in their own hands because it's one of those things that I think is one of the most
00:05:14.940
infuriating stories, if you will. It almost seems crass to call it that. In modern politics,
00:05:23.940
It's evil. It's grave evil. And if these guys want Sharia, we should give them Sharia.
00:05:27.940
Well, I very much agree. So the reason I've got Dr. Ella Hill's profile up on our website
00:05:33.940
here is because she's been quite brave, to be honest, and put herself out there to spread
00:05:43.940
the word about what's actually going on. And I would like to read her bio, because it gives you a good
00:05:48.940
snapshot into the individuals being affected. Because when it's, you know, numbers and it's
00:05:54.940
abstract victims, it's difficult to register at an emotional level just how to feel about it.
00:06:00.940
Obviously, it's frustrating and, you know, it's annoying. But the depravity of the whole thing, I think,
00:06:07.940
gets put into perspective once you realize what has been done. So it reads,
00:06:12.940
Dr. Ella Hill is a medical doctor and mother. When she was a teenager,
00:06:16.940
she met a much older Pakistani Muslim man from Rotherham who became her boyfriend
00:06:20.940
in inverted commas. Over the course of a year, he beat and raped her over a hundred times
00:06:25.940
and took her to houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England
00:06:30.940
to be raped and gang raped. When she tried to escape, he carried out an attempted honour killing,
00:06:36.940
which she survived with multiple fractures and lacerations. Her main perpetrator was part
00:06:41.940
of a larger network of offenders who did the same thing to many more teenage girls in Rotherham.
00:06:46.940
Ella has recovered and now campaigns to get acknowledgement of the racist and religious aspect
00:06:51.940
of the abuse she and others had to endure. And this is a point of contention in the media.
00:06:58.940
People, mainly left-wingers and mainstream journalists, have been saying,
00:07:03.940
well, there's not an ethnic or religious element to it.
00:07:06.940
And yet, it's Muslim Pakistani men targeting young white girls.
00:07:16.940
The numbers don't lie. The people coming forward saying their victims certainly aren't lying.
00:07:24.940
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Every person who says that there's no race,
00:07:27.940
racial or ethnic or cultural or faith element to this is complicit in the cover-up
00:07:32.940
because the whole purpose this has been covered up is to protect diversity.
00:07:35.940
Well, we'll certainly be touching on that aspect of it.
00:07:38.940
And actually, lots of people that may well be future government ministers
00:07:46.940
So, she wrote an open letter to the Home Office
00:07:50.940
accusing the government of institutional racism
00:07:54.940
because they weren't acknowledging the racial aspect to this crime,
00:08:02.940
It's targeting people outside of their community, right?
00:08:07.940
Obviously, you can read these. There's a lot of information here
00:08:10.940
and I can't go through it all, but please do read these.
00:08:15.940
The Home Office responded in what you can imagine is a fairly milquetoast way.
00:08:21.940
And then she wrote another open letter saying that they're hiding anti-white hate crimes
00:08:31.940
And as we'll see soon enough, this opinion went on to be vindicated much later
00:08:36.940
when the press actually picked up on what the Home Office were doing.
00:08:40.940
They basically dragged their heels and tried to cover up for these people.
00:08:46.940
So, the racial element, as I mentioned, has been disputed.
00:08:51.940
So, this article from 2023, the NSPCC of all people,
00:08:56.940
as a charity that's meant to protect children, I believe,
00:08:59.940
was warning against framing grooming gangs as an ethnic-based problem.
00:09:14.940
Well, as you say, because of the fact that we are supposed to be multicultural Britain,
00:09:22.940
Well, it doesn't so much dent the narrative as completely blow a hole in it.
00:09:26.940
The other thing is that when we say it's complicit,
00:09:34.940
they're also complicit in future crimes that are perpetrated.
00:09:39.940
oh, there is no racial aspect to this, there is no ethnic aspect to it,
00:09:45.940
that informs the way that they approach and judge the world around them.
00:09:49.940
And so, they might take unnecessary risks in the future
00:09:52.940
because they don't see the risk, because they've been told by a position of authority,
00:09:56.940
and people put a lot of faith in authority, that they don't need to.
00:10:03.940
So, this is an article from The Independent from 2022.
00:10:06.940
Fight against grooming gangs hindered by fear of being branded racist.
00:10:09.940
And this was an official investigating the grooming gangs.
00:10:12.940
And, of course, the reason that they got away with it for so long in the first place
00:10:15.940
is that the police didn't approach it in that way.
00:10:18.940
They didn't build up the criminal profile of these Pakistani Muslim taxi drivers.
00:10:22.940
That's their demographic background of this systematic abuse.
00:10:27.940
And they didn't do that because the police were worried about being racist.
00:10:34.940
This is what the police themselves have released.
00:10:42.940
That they didn't crack down on it because of fear of being racist.
00:10:45.940
And it's exactly the kind of thing that Harry was talking about here.
00:10:48.940
That it was the worry, the climate that they're going to be seen as prejudiced.
00:10:53.940
They're going to lose their jobs, which I think, to be honest, is worth losing your job.
00:10:58.940
Well, this is it, isn't it? We've built an environment of selfishness.
00:11:02.940
People are more worried about their own perception, how people see them,
00:11:06.940
rather than the victims themselves and the crimes they've been perpetrated.
00:11:09.940
I'm more worried about being called a racist than I am that young girl being raped.
00:11:15.940
I know, it's just a testament to how twisted people's priorities are nowadays,
00:11:20.940
that being called racist is seen as such a big deal, really.
00:11:31.940
I mean, the point that you're making there is that, well, no matter what you do,
00:11:35.940
no matter what you say, if you consider yourself to be right of mouth,
00:11:39.940
you are going to be labeled on some level a fascist, a racist, a bigot, a misogynist,
00:11:44.940
transphobic, anything that comes with those labels.
00:11:48.940
And so the best thing to do is step over those labels and acknowledge the truth,
00:11:55.940
So it's worth mentioning as well that there was a bit of a scandal with Naz Shah,
00:12:01.940
who was a Labour Party MP, retweeting and liking a fake Owen Jones.
00:12:08.940
It was a satirical account which tweeted out, those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths for the good of diversity.
00:12:16.940
And she shared this and she later claimed it was an accident.
00:12:20.940
But you don't accidentally like and retweet something that also happens to align with your ideology.
00:12:26.940
And it's also worth mentioning as well, there are people in the Labour Party that have pushed against the grooming gangs to give them credit.
00:12:38.940
She wrote an article where she said Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls, which is true.
00:12:48.940
However, at the time this went out, she was on the Corbyn front bench.
00:12:57.940
And she apologized for her extremely poor choice of words and stepped down.
00:13:07.940
So, you know, a slight bit of credit for writing it.
00:13:13.940
However, she should have stuck with her principles, I think.
00:13:16.940
But Sakia Starmer as well is not away from the firing line either in this respect,
00:13:23.940
because he was the director of public prosecutions for the Rochdale grooming gangs and played a role in the charges,
00:13:33.940
And actually, in 2022, one of the Rochdale victims came out and said they felt betrayed by Starmer for what he'd done.
00:13:41.940
So the notion of Labour, you know, potentially sorting this out is ridiculous,
00:13:46.940
because the man who helped avoid prosecuting these people is going to be the prime minister.
00:13:53.940
Well, Starmer's unapologetically careerist, isn't he?
00:13:56.940
And will take any tact that he needs to to advance his career.
00:14:00.940
And I'm sure at the time he saw that, well, if I actually push ahead with this, I might be jeopardizing my own future.
00:14:12.940
And the Home Office came out and said in 2020 that the grooming gangs come from a diverse background.
00:14:23.940
They're from everywhere, which is probably why Ella Hill didn't get the response she wanted from the Home Office.
00:14:28.940
And just to hammer my point home, here are some of the mugshots of these diverse...
00:14:44.940
I mean, it's every kind of Pakistani man you can possibly imagine.
00:14:49.940
In my experience as well, when you speak about this on social media, you get a lot of the Otto English twat fan types posting news reports of grooming gangs that have been caught within Britain that are made up of ethnically British people as well.
00:15:05.940
And say, well, see, this is also a problem here.
00:15:08.940
And as if that's any kind of response, they too should be killed.
00:15:13.940
That's a problem. But also, these people were arrested as soon as it was discovered that they were found, that they were doing this.
00:15:20.940
These people had no political campaign surrounding them trying to obfuscate what they did or their own ethnicity in this.
00:15:28.940
This is something that was solved as it should be because we don't want that.
00:15:31.940
Why would we want to, one, be importing more of this problem?
00:15:34.940
And two, why is it that there is the political atmosphere where we hide the problem?
00:15:39.940
One to Valtteri is annoying because this is a very specific problem.
00:15:41.940
And this is a problem that has been swept under the rug for so long.
00:15:47.940
So one of the other things on top of that, which I find really annoying is people point out, well, actually, the majority of abusers in the UK are white.
00:15:56.940
And that's because for the meantime, you know, they are the majority of the population, right?
00:16:04.940
Again, people not wrapping their heads around per capita or ignoring it.
00:16:08.940
So, you know, per capita, the Pakistani men are more likely to do it.
00:16:22.940
So there is Operation Stovewood, which has about 200 officers working on all of the different grooming gangs.
00:16:30.940
It's not specifically named Rotherham, but I think it's, you know, they're involved in Yorkshire and lots of the northern towns where it's been going on.
00:16:36.940
And they say they have recorded 1,367 crimes, arrested 209 individuals and nominated 10,000, no, 1,080 survivors and 20 people have been convicted.
00:16:55.940
And you can get an idea of the scale from some of those other figures, right?
00:17:07.940
But if you divide that by 20, that's not very much.
00:17:11.940
I mean, personally, I think things like this are why the death penalty exists, right?
00:17:15.940
But even that, if they're only managing to convict 20 people, it wouldn't matter if the death penalty existed because that would be just 20 out of the 1,367.
00:17:26.940
But it's a, you know, a drop in the ocean, isn't it?
00:17:29.940
It's not really addressing the scale of the problem.
00:17:31.940
Well, of course, this is similar to the response that was made at the Cologne 2015 New Year's rapes that occurred where thousands of German women were sexually assaulted in the middle of the street.
00:17:43.940
And when I was looking into that a few weeks ago, and you go through to the, even just to the Wikipedia page, and you look at the charges that were brought against people, it was thought that there were thousands of men going out and committing sexual assault that night.
00:17:59.940
And of those who were arrested, at least on the Wikipedia page, there was only about 13 of them who actually got convicted with anything.
00:18:08.940
Well, I imagine an element of it is that it's a lot of it is someone's word against someone else, because a lot of it might be historic.
00:18:18.940
And so it's difficult to find evidence so that I could understand.
00:18:21.940
But also, I think there's a matter of willpower as well.
00:18:24.940
If everyone in the country was saying we need to sort this out, I imagine that there would be a lot more being done.
00:18:30.940
And there has been some additional things since this was set up, I think, in 2014, if I remember rightly.
00:18:37.940
And there is also this as well, which was set up by Rishi Sunak, one of the few good things he's actually done.
00:18:44.940
This was set up in April of 2023, a grooming gangs task force.
00:18:49.940
And I believe it has worked with all of the police forces in England and Wales.
00:18:56.940
And it says in the last 12 months, and this was published in May of 2024, so it's relatively recent, they have helped arrest over 550 suspects.
00:19:07.940
So that's not necessarily convictions, but the arrests are at least promising.
00:19:11.940
So something seems to be being done, but it's just not enough.
00:19:15.940
And I think that the way you address this is you find out who these Pakistani men are,
00:19:20.940
and you either put them through the courts and reintroduce capital punishment,
00:19:26.940
because I think that's the only punishment befitting a crime such as theirs, or at the very least deport them.
00:19:33.940
I feel like deportation is too good for them personally.
00:19:38.940
I think if these are predominantly Pakistani men that are doing this, we stop importing people from Pakistan.
00:19:43.940
And I was going to be getting onto that, because they have a culture of doing this in their own country.
00:19:48.940
And we'll be looking at examples of this, which are just absolutely shocking.
00:19:54.940
I knew it was bad, but the extent of the problem is horrendous.
00:19:58.940
So there's also a problem with, once they are in the actual justice system, they only get, what, 12 years?
00:20:06.940
And then he was retried and got another 12 years.
00:20:12.940
He'll probably only serve six, because normally if you have good behaviour, you get about half of your sentence.
00:20:19.940
Well, there's a massive NGO blob entirely dedicated to making sure that these people either get off or don't get the time or punishments that they deserve.
00:20:29.940
Yeah. So here you've got the Metro reporting that grooming gangs are sentenced to nearly 350 years for the rape of eight young girls.
00:20:38.940
And 350 years obviously sounds like a lot of time.
00:20:51.940
So if you divide that by the 24, that's an average of 14.41 years.
00:20:57.940
And if they have good behaviour, that is only seven years in prison for what they've done, which is not nearly enough.
00:21:06.940
Yeah, I was going to say, I don't mean to bring the tone down, but this is a literal demon.
00:21:14.940
Of course, but this one's more visible than the rest.
00:21:20.940
I know that there's a culture of it in Northern India as well.
00:21:25.940
And obviously Pakistan, Northern India connected, not the best of friends politically, but genetically they're far more similar.
00:21:33.940
And we know from the statistics in this country that most children with deformities and retardations are Pakistani because there's a lot of inbreeding.
00:21:39.940
A third of all birth defects that go via the NHS are Pakistanis.
00:21:47.940
You know, they're pedophiles and they're so inbred that they're costing the taxpayer a lot of money via the NHS.
00:21:56.940
Oh, what I was going to add to answer your question, what that sounds like is a cultural practice that has developed its own genetic defects because as a cultural practice, it's an incredibly dysgenic one.
00:22:09.940
I mean, you look at the faces of the people in the grooming gangs, they're all hideous.
00:22:13.940
I mean, physiognomy isn't exactly, it doesn't lie, you know, really hideous looking people tend to not be the nicest as a general rule.
00:22:45.940
There are two still in prison, two more fighting deportation and five freed to roam the streets.
00:22:49.940
Sorry, there should be no appeal on deportation.
00:22:51.940
If you've committed a crime, you're gone, that's it, you're done.
00:23:00.940
Yeah, because this isn't a case of, well, you know, it's still in the system.
00:23:24.940
Rochdale grooming gang leaders still lives alongside victims despite deportation order.
00:23:29.940
And I actually heard a story through Callum of a lady who was abused when she was still
00:23:35.940
a teenager in a supermarket and she ran into one of the men that abused her in the supermarket.
00:23:43.940
How we can allow this to happen in our country is unbelievable.
00:23:56.940
How child sex grooming gangs still cast a shadow over Rotherham.
00:24:00.940
Locals warn abusers are continuing to prey on youngsters more than 12 years after scandal
00:24:05.940
So why campaigners ask is more not being done to stop it.
00:24:08.940
And I think we've answered that question already to a certain extent.
00:24:11.940
But I'm just going to read a little bit about what the mail has reported here.
00:24:15.940
Although another seven men were this week found guilty of a horrific catalogue of multiple
00:24:20.940
rapes and sexual assaults, many more trials are still in the pipeline casting a continued
00:24:24.940
shadow over the area and local people including victims say they believe criminals are still
00:24:32.940
The time involving gangs from a swathe of ethnicities rather than this time involving gangs from a
00:24:38.940
swathe of ethnicities rather than groups of mainly Pakistani Muslim men.
00:24:42.940
So I thought this was interesting because the mail normally doesn't report on this sort of thing.
00:24:48.940
In that it's saying, well, it's many different ethnicities.
00:24:52.940
So this makes me think perhaps that the grooming gangs themselves have been aware of the narrative
00:25:03.940
Camouflage themselves saying, well, it's not a Pakistani problem.
00:25:06.940
Well, again, if you go back to this one, you can see this one odd man out clearly doesn't look like he's
00:25:14.940
of the same ethnic background as the rest of them.
00:25:20.940
He might be some working, well, underclass Englishman or Eastern European, like you say.
00:25:27.940
Maybe they literally said, oh, wait, if we all get caught in a lineup, this looks bad.
00:25:40.940
If these people are getting away with raping young girls for decades, other people who
00:25:44.940
want to rape young girls might think, oh, I can have a go too.
00:25:47.940
So yeah, maybe Rochdale and Rotherham and places like that is sort of paedophile mecca
00:25:58.940
So this from GB news, I found very interesting.
00:26:01.940
Oh, on the note of GB news, I got in trouble while I was working at GB news for using the term
00:26:08.940
I said, well, I said, well, this is what they're doing.
00:26:12.940
You can call them a lot stronger than that even.
00:26:15.940
So I believe this, this lady is a safeguarding minister and she told GB news, one of the
00:26:23.940
figures, some 20% of child abuse convictions involve grooming gangs.
00:26:28.940
She said, which just speaks of the scale of the problem, right?
00:26:32.940
So these are largely Pakistani men that have no right to be here.
00:26:35.940
And if we got rid of them all, we could reduce the amount of child abuse by 20%.
00:26:43.940
You presume it's a larger percentage than that, right?
00:26:48.940
Well, it's obviously this fear of being called racist, but of course, that means that you're
00:26:53.940
getting children raped by being a coward, basically.
00:26:59.940
But to hammer this point home that it is a Pakistani problem.
00:27:03.940
Um, Wikipedia even has an entire page about violence against women in Pakistan.
00:27:08.940
And this, you know, Wikipedia known for being quite left leaning.
00:27:12.940
And even there they're saying, um, it's a major public health problem.
00:27:16.940
And, uh, we can showcase some examples of this.
00:27:20.940
So this is a recent story, 10th of May of a British teenage girl in a bar in Crete.
00:27:27.940
Uh, and then a Pakistani man, um, followed her into the toilets and raped her while on
00:27:33.940
Um, and yeah, even when they're elsewhere, right, even when there isn't a community, they,
00:27:40.940
they see an unattended young girl and that's all they need to really see.
00:27:46.940
They don't consider the morality of what they're doing.
00:27:54.940
Um, a woman was gang raped, murdered, and then hung from a tree in Pakistan.
00:28:01.940
And there, there is a blurred picture of it, which I feel like, I don't know whether I
00:28:12.940
Um, I wasn't going to, I was inclined in not showing it, but okay.
00:28:23.940
Um, UK is home to the largest Pakistan, Pakistani community in Europe with the population of British
00:28:39.940
And, uh, you might notice the distribution in the UK is also heavily centered around the
00:28:51.940
It's almost like it's an entirely Pakistani men problem, right?
00:28:54.940
I think that there are certainly some communities that are engaging in this as well, but it's
00:28:59.940
undeniable that Pakistani men, usually taxi drivers, are abusing young British girls in
00:29:06.940
a way in which is systematic, is community based, and our institutions are doing nothing about
00:29:13.940
What would it take to deport 1.6 million people?
00:29:20.940
And they would say, they would like to flutter about and say, Oh, well, it would cost this
00:29:26.940
Uh, but the amount of money that we would probably have to spend on it.
00:29:31.940
And two is a bill that is probably already dwarfed by the amount of money that was spending
00:29:36.940
on foreign nationals being in our country illegally in the first place.
00:29:43.940
Um, you know, the people who are here illegally and they're known for bringing their, you
00:29:47.940
know, extended relatives living in their basements and what have you.
00:29:52.940
So that's probably closer to 2 million if we're being even, you know, conservative in
00:30:06.940
I don't know if I'll cheer us up entirely, but I'll give everybody a new reason to hate.
00:30:15.940
So, um, everybody knows that I'm not a huge fan of Boris Johnson.
00:30:18.940
I doubt anybody watching the show is a big fan of Boris Johnson.
00:30:21.940
Even just yesterday on the podcast with you and Stelios, I was discussing what's going
00:30:25.940
on in Ukraine and Russia, looking at the events in early 2022 after the conflict had
00:30:30.940
begun where Boris Johnson inserted himself into the peace talks and immediately decided
00:30:35.940
to back Ukraine and say, no peace, just keep fighting.
00:30:39.940
Which turned out to be a poison pill because of course, all that's really meant is that
00:30:44.940
the conflict has raged on and on, dragged on and on.
00:30:47.940
More people are dead and injured than needed to be.
00:30:54.940
And, uh, you know, I'm sure that he felt that he would get some kind of Churchillian statue
00:30:58.940
remembered as some great war leader, not going to happen.
00:31:01.940
He also locked us down for almost two years while breaking his own rules.
00:31:06.940
Um, he's done plenty to make anybody in their right mind distrust him and also distrust the
00:31:14.940
conservative party for acting as a platform for someone as unscrupulous, as dishonest,
00:31:20.940
as disgusting, if I'm perfectly honest, as Boris Johnson to get into a place of political
00:31:26.940
He acted as a platform for him to do all of that.
00:31:29.940
How many children does he have with various women dotted around the country?
00:31:39.940
We don't actually know how many children he has.
00:31:42.940
That's kind of all you need to hear about a person, isn't it?
00:31:45.940
Before you, you know, question their character.
00:31:47.940
That he's dishonest about his own children, how many he has and which women that he's had
00:31:55.940
But I came across this yesterday by an account I like to follow.
00:31:59.940
He's got a sub stack as well where he posts lots of interesting articles that you can check
00:32:04.940
He did this thread talking about Boris Johnson.
00:32:06.940
And I thought it would be a good reminder that, again, Boris Johnson's entire career
00:32:10.940
has been one of betrayal of the British people and lying to his intentions.
00:32:16.940
Well, actually, to be fair, this is not necessarily lying.
00:32:19.940
He's been very open about this, which is that his entire career up until Brexit, and including
00:32:24.940
Brexit, seemed to have been orientated around granting amnesty to illegal immigrants in London
00:32:32.940
Which, given the sorts of subjects we were just talking about a moment ago with certain
00:32:35.940
ethnicities and grooming gangs and their involvement with one another, seems to be a foolish thing
00:32:40.940
to try and do if you are a nationalist and care about this country and its well-being.
00:32:45.940
Because the likelihood is a lot of those illegal immigrants are criminals already by virtue
00:32:50.940
of having broken into the country or overstayed their visas and such.
00:32:54.940
And Boris Johnson wanted to open a route to allow these people to be rewarded for it.
00:33:00.940
It's the old Ronald Reagan plan from the 1980s with his illegal immigration amnesty that he put
00:33:08.940
forward through the 1980s, where Ronald Reagan said, well, we'll grant amnesty for all of
00:33:13.940
these illegals who shouldn't be in here in the first place, but we'll let them be citizens
00:33:16.940
and we'll let them pay their taxes because we need the large tax base.
00:33:19.940
It might make us more popular with those particular ethnic groups.
00:33:22.940
But we'll also strengthen the border at the same time.
00:33:25.940
What ended up happening? Well, you had a lot of amnesty granted.
00:33:30.940
Was the border strengthened in any meaningful way?
00:33:32.940
Has America's illegal immigrant problem, for instance, been solved or was it seen as an incentive
00:33:37.940
for more of these people to break into the country and take advantage of the system?
00:33:41.940
And they do take advantage of our system, as we are all well aware.
00:33:45.940
So this is going all the way back to 2008, seems to be one of the first times he called for this.
00:33:50.940
He said that deporting these criminals just wasn't going to happen.
00:33:53.940
Why, you may ask? Why is that impossible to do?
00:33:57.940
Well, again, political willpower is not on the side of deporting people who broke into the country in the first place.
00:34:03.940
Still isn't. This is the old Michael Gove thing when he was talking in the 1990s and saying,
00:34:09.940
well, of course, what's happening to the country is terrible, but we can't do anything.
00:34:13.940
To do anything would be un-British, which is nonsense.
00:34:18.940
I remember in the mid, what was it, 20th century, when people tried to invade our country in boats.
00:34:27.940
And I think that may well have to be a consideration these days.
00:34:32.940
Yeah, but the idea that the nation that once was in charge of the greatest empire the world has ever seen
00:34:39.940
shouldn't do things because doing things is not in our character.
00:34:44.940
That speaks more to the character of these people than it does to the character of the nation as a whole.
00:34:49.940
It talks to the fact that the character of statesmen that we have had for the past 30, 40, 50 years
00:34:58.940
has been absolutely pathetic compared to the statesmen that used to lead this country.
00:35:04.940
We haven't had any, have we? Boris Johnson is probably one of two.
00:35:08.940
Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson are the only two politicians we've had since Margaret Thatcher that have had anything about them.
00:35:13.940
Yes, and even then I would say that with Boris it's been a veiled illusion.
00:35:20.940
It's been a thin veneer of charisma that he's been able to present himself with as this
00:35:25.940
I'm a fun bumbling guy, don't take me too seriously.
00:35:28.940
When in the background he does seem to be someone I would characterize as genuinely evil.
00:35:37.940
But Johnson back in 2008 he called for an earned amnesty for thousands of illegal immigrants living in London.
00:35:45.940
Claiming the notion that they will one day be deported from the UK is just not going to happen.
00:35:49.940
He was trying to commission a study into the feasibility of granting an amnesty for all of these people.
00:35:55.940
And he was expecting the report at the time, I don't know if it was made.
00:35:59.940
Johnson argued that a mass program of expulsions would be both costly and legally difficult.
00:36:05.940
A more sensible idea he said would be to introduce earned amnesty whereby after a period of about five years
00:36:11.940
and that's just basically five, if you're able to evade the law for five years, congratulations.
00:36:20.940
Here's your citizen, here's your passport, here's your citizenship.
00:36:27.940
And given that the attempts by this country it seems to track down and deport illegal migrants in the first place is woeful and pathetic,
00:36:36.940
this is just saying anybody who gets here by whatever means can stay forever for no reason.
00:36:43.940
And given that the demographic breakdown of London is what it is already,
00:36:48.940
that is partly to do with the fact that Boris Johnson and others like him have encouraged that.
00:36:55.940
Why do I think that Boris Johnson is in favour of this?
00:36:59.940
Well his own reasons that we'll get onto later is basically he does the classic reasoning
00:37:05.940
which is that he himself descends from certain parts of his ancestry descends from foreign backgrounds.
00:37:12.940
He had a great grandfather, I think, who was Turkish, who came over to the country.
00:37:17.940
I heard this story too many times during the referendum.
00:37:19.940
Yeah. Therefore, therefore we just need to open the floodgates to everybody
00:37:23.940
because there was one person who came, integrated, married in and became a model citizen.
00:37:30.940
That means everybody in the world who's willing to break who knows how many laws to get here illegally in the first place
00:37:36.940
should be allowed in because I'm sure that this one person was representative of the entire world and their intentions.
00:37:41.940
But that might be the reason that he gives, but what do you think is his motivation?
00:37:46.940
I couldn't say. I couldn't say for certain outside of that motivation.
00:37:53.940
I couldn't say outside of that motivation that he gives.
00:37:59.940
I think he blows with the prevailing wind, doesn't he?
00:38:01.940
This sort of neoliberal, open border, soft and flabby liberalism is the prevailing ideology.
00:38:11.940
And it's where the most money can be made in politics.
00:38:14.940
And so he was a journalist, went into politics.
00:38:22.940
He has connections to people who are probably rather rich from this sort of thing.
00:38:28.940
And I think that it's why lots of politicians do what they do is just to make money.
00:38:33.940
I wouldn't be shocked. He, of course, belongs to a different class to 99% of the rest of the country.
00:38:40.940
And I'm not saying that just in terms of wealth.
00:38:42.940
I'm saying that he belongs to the political class who see themselves as over and above us.
00:38:48.940
And so he doesn't really care what happens to the nationals within any country that he happens to be in at the time.
00:38:57.940
He just cares that he's able to take advantage of a situation and make money from it.
00:39:01.940
But at this time, in this article, they report that there was around, and this is even an estimate back then, 400,000 illegal immigrants known to be in London.
00:39:11.940
And let's be honest, it's probably about 10 times that now, given what's been going on since then.
00:39:19.940
His solution to this was, give them citizenship, l'm out.
00:39:24.940
That's it, just, well, they managed to stick around, so why not?
00:39:28.940
Johnson was expected to lobby the Labour government once the feasibility study was complete.
00:39:32.940
Although both, and this is 2008, this was under New Labour.
00:39:35.940
This was after Blair had left and Gordon Brown was in power.
00:39:40.940
Both Labour and the Conservatives regarded the issue as politically toxic and have in the past attacked the Lib Dems for suggesting it.
00:39:47.940
So Johnson, even back in 2008, was far, far, far in terms of his stated goals with this, far, far, far to the left of even the new Labour establishment at the time.
00:39:58.940
And even to the left of David Cameron, which is remarkable.
00:40:07.940
He said that instead of reversing Blair and Brown's treason, the Tories should exceed it by giving illegal immigrants everything that they want.
00:40:14.940
So in here, he said it was completely crazy that people who have been in the UK for years are not paying taxes.
00:40:21.940
Why is it not just completely crazy that they're still here? Honestly.
00:40:27.940
He said the authorities stopped chasing people here after about 15 or 20 years, which is not an excuse.
00:40:33.940
That just shows that the people who are doing it are either bad at their jobs or willfully not doing their jobs.
00:40:39.940
And even David Cameron was slapping it down at the time in 2013.
00:40:43.940
Not necessarily because I think David Cameron has any great love for this nation or his people, just because it looks bad and won't win votes.
00:40:53.940
And here's where it talks a bit more about his his own background, saying that he's Turkish in this article, saying in 2015,
00:41:03.940
Johnson cited his foreign ancestry, Turkish, saying that I'm the great grandson of Turkish immigrants.
00:41:09.940
Where would my family be if London hadn't given sanctuary to my great grandfather?
00:41:14.940
So I'm totally in favor of people being able to make their lives in another country.
00:41:17.940
Best advert for closed borders I've ever heard.
00:41:20.940
Again, you see that he's using that as a justification for this globalist ideology.
00:41:25.940
Well, if globalism allowed me to be born, then I'm not going to prevent it for anybody else,
00:41:32.940
because he's using, like you say, it's a stated excuse for his beliefs that he already holds,
00:41:37.940
which is that the world is not anywhere that's made of distinct peoples who have values in themselves
00:41:45.940
The world is basically a large financial zone for me to make money where nobody matters
00:41:52.940
and I can plop people from one part of the world to this part of the world and they should all get along
00:42:01.940
I mean, my grandparents would have met unless World War II happened.
00:42:04.940
It doesn't mean I've got to be grateful to the German leader because of that.
00:42:12.940
It's one that left throw at me all the time because obviously I'm anti-immigration.
00:42:15.940
They're like, but your grandparents were from Jamaica.
00:42:20.940
It's like, well, I can't go back in time and change the immigration policy then,
00:42:28.940
And again, even going back to then, numbers were small enough that the people were able
00:42:31.940
to integrate much better than they are these days where we've created these enormous
00:42:36.940
ethnic blocks within our cities where the people keep to themselves and they almost have
00:42:40.940
their own internal economies that don't contribute to the rest of the country.
00:42:44.940
And then you get the problems with criminal gangs, you could say, not just in terms of sexual
00:42:50.940
crimes that are committed, but just drug gangs.
00:42:54.940
Well, most drug gangs in the UK now are ethnic minority, a lot of them.
00:43:00.940
Particularly the ones that are most associated with the most violent crimes.
00:43:05.940
We don't even control our own cocaine industry in this country.
00:43:21.940
It's remarkable in this when I listened to this speech where he just says that, you
00:43:25.940
know, like, oh, I'm pro-immigrant and pro-amnesty for them.
00:43:31.940
The crowd knows we should probably be cheering because that's what's right.
00:43:41.940
The line we were trying to say in this moment was that we're not anti-Europe.
00:43:48.940
We were saying that actually people could just come over from wherever they are in Europe.
00:43:52.940
We actually want more nurses from Australia, more doctors from Canada, et cetera, et cetera.
00:43:58.940
But they couldn't because the Commonwealth didn't have the same agreement as the EU.
00:44:05.940
Well, yeah, it seems that that wasn't the argument that he was trying to make, sadly,
00:44:09.940
because, of course, all of these visa routes were opened after Brexit that has changed the
00:44:18.940
So it seems that it's remarkable knowing that now you can go back and look and you say, well, it seems that whether we knew it at the time or not, Boris was pointing in this direction the whole time.
00:44:29.940
And then when he was foreign secretary in 2016, he was talking about this in 2020.
00:44:40.940
But then during COVID, which, of course, was something that he implemented, the locks down, he implemented the mandates that were going on in February 2021.
00:44:50.940
Johnson's government began using the COVID vaccines as an excuse, as an excuse for the illegal immigrants to access GPs and get through access to the NHS through that.
00:45:02.940
Illegal migrants vaccine amnesty up to 1.3 million are urged to register for a COVID-19 jab to drive for herd immunity with promise they'll face no action from the home office.
00:45:14.940
And that's just estimated numbers, because, of course, the ONS and other official government bodies, they don't want to let us know how many illegal immigrants there are in this country, because we, of course, have the official numbers, which even then seem to be quite lackadaisically collected for the amount of illegal migrants that come into the UK.
00:45:34.620
But when you look at other things that I've looked at in the past, where you've got sewage overflow, when you've got the amount of phone contracts that are registered in this country, it seems that we're possibly undercounting by about 10 million, possibly even more, illegals who shouldn't be in this country in the first place.
00:45:51.260
Well, it's getting to the point where you need to put contracts out on them and send people out like bounty hunters to start bringing them in, because the state simply doesn't have the apparatus to deal with a problem of that scale, to find the people and, you know, imprison them and then deport them.
00:46:08.100
Yeah, and if it's 10 million, even if they said that was what they were going to do, as the Tories have been doing with the whole Rwanda plan for a while now, it seems that they don't either have the competence or the willpower to go through with it.
00:46:19.880
They're more than happy to let themselves get jammed up in the system.
00:46:22.580
The most egregious thing about this is that someone's first act of coming into your country is breaking the law, and we're meant to trust these people.
00:46:31.780
I don't want a single person who's broken into this country illegally in the country or ever be able to come back again.
00:46:39.040
According to Johnson, he was just a very eager taxpayer in waiting.
00:46:46.200
He was going, God, I just can't wait to give the UK government my tax money.
00:46:51.060
I actually don't care if he does give us tax money.
00:46:52.780
If he's still raping young girls, he needs to go.
00:46:56.260
So, yeah, that's just another reason that I'm a particularly big opponent of people like Boris Johnson and the Tory establishment for, again, having given him a platform through which to spread all of this.
00:47:09.300
And I think in light of all of this, it's not particularly surprising that his government pushed through all of the changes to immigration and visas that they did after Brexit was implemented.
00:47:18.520
Because, of course, Brexit was, in how it was done, a massive, massive betrayal of what people were voting for in the first place.
00:47:27.820
So, let's see if you can cheer us up and tell us how we should invade France.
00:47:32.820
Brexit means Brexit, and that means we can invade France.
00:47:36.400
We can invade France because France is a blooming mess right now.
00:47:45.400
So, obviously, we had Rishi Sunak call a snap election.
00:47:48.400
We had members of his cabinet suggesting they may issue a vote of no confidence in him to push the election back because they don't want a summer election because of monetary reasons.
00:48:01.780
And so, there were internal threats about that.
00:48:04.460
We've also seen this week that his SPAD placed a bet three days before the election was called that there would be an election.
00:48:14.500
He put 100 pump bets on that there'd be an election.
00:48:22.640
So, there's a similar madness going on in France.
00:48:26.540
You know, a general election call in France at the same time as a general election call in the United Kingdom, snap elections.
00:48:34.300
People think there's some kind of movement of the right and things to look forward to.
00:48:39.080
We're getting a bit of hope from it, but I think maybe we need to look a bit deeper at what's actually going on.
00:48:44.220
So, I figured let's look at France as an example.
00:48:48.420
Until this weekend, well, Macron called an election for the sake of, well, I don't know for what reason, really.
00:48:54.940
Well, some people are suggesting that after the EU elections went the way that they did, that he seems to want to try and re-inspire some hope and confidence within his own party.
00:49:06.960
How the two connect with one another, I'm not entirely sure.
00:49:11.620
Well, especially seeing as his own position isn't a threat at the moment as president.
00:49:17.700
So, the moment you get demolished, you think, okay, let's have another election.
00:49:22.600
I mean, maybe you guys can see it differently to what I can and you can...
00:49:26.780
I've been trying to figure it out because it makes sense for Rishi Sunak because at least he's sort of getting it out the way.
00:49:33.740
I think the idea is they're thinking long-term and recovery in maybe 10 years.
00:49:40.100
Whereas with Macron, he's got a decent amount of time left in office, right?
00:49:45.220
And I don't know whether that's also the presidency as well.
00:49:49.600
Or is it just for their equivalent of their parliament?
00:49:53.580
So, he's dissolved the French National Assembly and called an election on the 30th of June.
00:50:00.260
But if we go to the next slide here, what's happening whilst he's done this is the left have collected...
00:50:08.540
And they've announced that they're going to form a...
00:50:10.580
What this is talking about here is a popular front.
00:50:17.220
But I thought populism was far right according to many media outlets.
00:50:25.020
But if populism means anything, it's what the people want, right?
00:50:27.880
It's addressing the issues that the people are talking about.
00:50:30.100
So, the left came together really quickly and said, we are putting together this popular front.
00:50:35.580
And we see here that Raphael Glucksmann is heading up the Socialist Party for the EU election.
00:50:45.160
We can have a little look at his body language.
00:50:51.660
So, this is the head of the Socialist Party saying, we cannot have an alliance of people on the left.
00:50:56.740
And whilst this is going on, the French are taking the mick out of him.
00:51:01.960
Because clearly, he is upset that the left are coming together without him.
00:51:06.640
And we're going to get to the right in a moment, because they're even more messy.
00:51:14.020
And so, the right, as a response, say, we're going to all splinter.
00:51:20.820
So, he's the president of Les Républicains, who, of course, are the mainstream liberal conservative party.
00:51:26.920
So, Jacques Chirac and Sarkozy and all of them.
00:51:29.680
There are people that think they're conservative, but we would say they're left-wing.
00:51:33.460
He announced that he wants to do an alliance with Le Pen.
00:51:36.460
Again, unless you speak French, it's not that relevant.
00:51:59.320
But you can see the surprise in that the so-called centrist party is wanting to align with the so-called far-right party.
00:52:06.220
This is how things are shaping up at the moment.
00:52:09.140
In response to that, top officials in his own party are outraged.
00:52:12.920
They're claiming he speaks only for himself, not for his party.
00:52:22.740
So, his vice president is saying, no, he doesn't speak for us.
00:52:26.620
But, likewise, Olivier Mollet, Chioti is not speaking for us.
00:52:33.060
He is not speaking as the president of Les Républicains.
00:52:35.960
So, the centrist right are imploding, pretty similar to what we're seeing over here.
00:52:50.880
And, in fact, no one else is going to go into the party.
00:52:56.520
This would be the equivalent of CCHQ locked up.
00:53:18.840
So, the far right and the centrist will become one.
00:53:23.520
And, of course, the left are taking the Michael out of all of this.
00:53:36.220
And, I mean, you don't need to speak French to understand what that says.
00:53:47.520
But, he's saying he's trying to prevent a coup.
00:53:57.620
In response to that, so now we have Annie Genevard saying...
00:54:04.440
This is the vice president letting the party back in.
00:54:17.360
I'm beginning to think most politics is a joke.
00:54:20.380
I mean, a locksmith could have really changed that.
00:54:37.020
a Republican MP, in front of the closed doors of the headquarters,
00:54:40.440
saying they'll get emergency services to break them down.
00:54:42.720
They didn't have to because they had a spare key.
00:54:51.620
This is her saying, we will break down the doors.
00:55:24.340
have announced that they're going to meet with Ciotti
00:55:30.100
And what we're seeing here in this official statement
00:55:34.820
So, they've kicked him out of the party, officially.
00:55:50.080
I mean, the politicking, the internal politicking...
00:56:02.280
But there's things like that going on then, as well.
00:56:30.100
the centre-right party in France at the moment.
