00:00:00.000 It is not long now until the most exciting election of my lifetime is going to happen.

00:00:05.480 That's right.

00:00:06.040 It is the zero-seat election, where we expect the Conservative Party to literally get zero

00:00:11.620 seats.

00:00:12.220 And so we're going to be doing an all-night live stream.

00:00:14.520 We're going to have loads of great guests.

00:00:17.360 We're going to have exclusive merch.

00:00:19.160 And if you would like to join us and send us video chats throughout the night, again,

00:00:40.820 So remember folks, Thursday, the 4th of July, 7pm, lotuseseats.com.

00:00:45.920 You don't want to miss it.

00:00:47.580 Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seaters for Monday, the 1st of July, 2024.

00:00:52.560 White rabbits, everybody.

00:00:53.580 I am your host, Connor, joined by Carl and Stelios.

00:00:56.340 Hello.

00:00:56.480 We're looking forward to the home stretch towards our amazing election night live stream.

00:00:59.740 It's going to be really fun.

00:01:00.500 It's going to be amazing.

00:01:01.100 We've got some exciting guests ready to announce for you, but not just yet.

00:01:04.460 We'll hold on, Irv, to discuss the news of the day, which is how they're desperate to

00:01:07.620 sabotage Farage, how Le Pen is coming for the prime ministerial and presidential elections

00:01:13.880 in France, and how pride has gone full through bar, which I can't wait for that reference

00:01:19.460 to be explained to the audience, Stelios.

00:01:21.520 I think people know.

00:01:23.120 If you know, you know.

00:01:24.760 Before we kick off, we do-

00:01:25.760 If you don't know, now you know.

00:01:27.440 We do want to say thank you for SC for sending us a care package of Neil Asher's books.

00:01:32.020 He's apparently a fan of ours, so that's quite interesting.

00:01:33.940 A pipe for Harry, so he looks like Commissioner Gordon, and some cigars for Carl, and some snuff

00:01:37.780 for Dan as well.

00:01:38.420 And I also want to say thank you to the nice woman who watches my show, who sent me a Costa

00:01:42.640 gift card by way of apology for disagreeing with Stefan Molnir.

00:01:45.260 You didn't need to do that, but I did really appreciate all the free coffee.

00:01:47.720 So if you do want to send us things, we do have a PO box listed on the website, and we

00:01:51.340 do appreciate all the gifts that you guys do send towards us.

00:01:54.080 But without further ado, let's jump into today's stories.

00:01:57.280 So the mainstream media and the political establishment have discredited themselves at a rate of not falling

00:02:02.480 over themselves to try to get Farage on the fact that he's a racist, or an Islamophobe,

00:02:07.180 or he's a bigger, or any of the others' tired tropes that they've cried wolf about a million

00:02:11.480 times.

00:02:12.380 And speaking of the way that the political establishment have discredited themselves,

00:02:15.720 on July 4th there is an election, and over at lotusseaters.com we will be the best place

00:02:20.460 to watch this coverage with a rotating cast of guests.

00:02:23.120 And if you fancy supporting us and keeping our lights on, and even sending us video chats

00:02:27.420 and questions to respond to on the night, you can sign up for 50% off your first three

00:02:31.960 months for a gold tier subscription with the code ZERO SEATS.

00:02:35.140 So you'll be able to get our entire catalogue of live and pre-recorded premium content.

00:02:39.900 It's well worth it.

00:02:41.060 My colleagues Stelios and Carl have also done some fantastic work, so go join us.

00:02:44.460 But on the Farage story, if you're wondering what's happened, well, cast your mind back

00:02:47.960 a week.

00:02:48.420 Remember this?

00:02:49.120 We've got Andrew Parker here.

00:02:50.380 So he's the actor in question.

00:02:53.520 I was very curious.

00:02:54.420 For those who don't remember, Channel 4 did an expose, finding a guy who speaks like

00:03:00.840 Ray Winston, saying all sorts of unsavory things about the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, how we

00:03:05.200 should gun down Channel migrants as they're racing up the beaches of Dover, and how we

00:03:08.620 should turn every mosque into Wetherspoons.

00:03:11.260 Disavow, of course.

00:03:13.140 People the next day, though, found it quite...

00:03:14.500 No, I do like Wetherspoons.

00:03:15.700 I quite like that one.

00:03:17.980 People the next day found his profile on a website called mandy.com, and it turns out

00:03:22.720 that he's an actor with some very strange costumes there, because it looks like he's

00:03:27.320 playing Citizen Khan.

00:03:29.180 But it's curious.

00:03:30.120 He says that he himself plays villain and mafia types, which I get offered often.

00:03:36.740 And as you played in a previous segment discussing this, which I think Harry quibbled with, but

00:03:41.420 I don't think was fair, he has a very posh to camera speaking voice and then instantly

00:03:46.160 clicks into a Guy Ritchie stereotype, which very strange.

00:03:50.940 Now, I thought this was curious, and I tweeted this out shortly after someone at Reform let

00:03:55.240 me know that they were on his case with this.

00:03:58.260 What's curious is there's been some updates to that story since.

00:04:01.320 So, well done to Antifa Watch, which is at UnmaskedAntifa on Twitter.

00:04:04.420 We'll be using some of his tweets as the story develops in this segment.

00:04:07.380 But go and follow him.

00:04:08.080 He's very good for breaking the story initially.

00:04:10.460 Nigel Farage has since detailed on a BBC Question Time, which we'll also get into, and

00:04:14.400 an interview with Trevor Phillips, some of these details.

00:04:16.420 Farage says that when Parker showed up to the Clacton campaign office, he showed up to

00:04:20.360 two other guys I didn't know in tow.

00:04:21.820 And those guys just turned out to be the undercover Channel 4 filmers.

00:04:25.320 And Parker himself, who was looking around, said, I've got a big car, mate, in his fake

00:04:29.240 Cockney accent.

00:04:30.460 Why don't you jump in here and go with us?

00:04:31.920 So the two Channel 4 filmers happened to get in his car.

00:04:34.260 Really?

00:04:34.740 And two other Reform candidates.

00:04:36.400 And as soon as they shut the doors in the car and took off, Parker started saying all

00:04:39.880 sorts of inflammatory things, seemingly trying to draw the other canvassers into saying

00:04:43.900 something inflammatory.

00:04:44.960 Now, there's a reason that that footage wasn't included, because they didn't say anything.

00:04:48.220 Because it didn't work.

00:04:49.720 So the only footage they could get is of Parker.

00:04:52.300 How very strange.

00:04:54.060 So uses his rough speaking voice the whole time, and for some reason decided to leave

00:04:59.440 up his account thinking that no one would notice.

00:05:02.240 He has acting experience where he says theatre and many films.

00:05:06.720 He went to the road.

00:05:08.040 Additional skills.

00:05:09.400 Plays guitar.

00:05:10.440 Has a full car and motorcycle license.

00:05:12.480 But the thing I think that's interesting is a paid-up equity member.

00:05:17.860 Oh, really?

00:05:19.140 Why haven't they thrown him out yet for his abhorrent racism?

00:05:21.320 That's the question.

00:05:22.420 If he's so damn racist, why have the media not plastered his life story across the pages

00:05:28.340 of the paper?

00:05:28.840 This is the racist from Reform.

00:05:30.360 And also, why have equity not kicked him out?

00:05:32.400 Why did it take a grassroots Antifa Watch Twitter account to investigate this rather than

00:05:37.820 hope not hate?

00:05:38.580 I tweeted this out.

00:05:39.380 I was like, look, the only person we're hearing about this guy from is Nigel Farage himself.

00:05:44.240 Why is the media not all over this guy?

00:05:46.540 Why isn't he being cancelled?

00:05:47.920 Yeah, they're obsessed with doxing raw egg nationalists for some spicy memes, but not

00:05:51.980 a guy who wishes death on Channel Migrant.

00:05:54.120 It's very curious, that, isn't it?

00:05:55.340 The fact that this guy hasn't paid no public price for his racism implies to me that this

00:06:00.440 was a setup.

00:06:01.320 Yes.

00:06:01.700 Well, this is what Reform are now alleging.

00:06:03.000 So Reform believes that the production team may have done something untoward in securing

00:06:08.060 the footage and then selling it onto Channel 4 and possibly didn't disclose the fact

00:06:11.740 that they knew Parker was an actor when he was involved when they sold it to Channel 4.

00:06:17.060 Reform are considering legal action against Channel 4.

00:06:19.220 They filed a complaint, according to reporting from The Independent and the like.

00:06:22.380 I couldn't find whether or not that was to Ofcom or the Electoral Commission, but that

00:06:25.860 will come out in due course.

00:06:27.260 And Channel 4 themselves have denied any involvement.

00:06:29.280 And so did Andrew Parker.

00:06:30.180 But Andrew Parker curiously said to Charlie Peters of GB News, this is a ridiculous conspiracy

00:06:34.460 theory, et cetera, et cetera, and then lied about being an actor to the Telegraph.

00:06:37.920 And then people found his acting page and they were like, hmm, why did you lie?

00:06:42.100 And then curiously, his acting page is gone.

00:06:44.540 Oh, really?

00:06:45.560 It's an archive.

00:06:46.820 That's fascinating.

00:06:47.520 Why would they take his acting page down?

00:06:49.420 I suppose it's just such a convincing portrayal of a racist that he doesn't even need to market

00:06:55.440 himself anymore.

00:06:56.020 His inbox must just be full of playing the villain in Nigel Farage-inspired dramas.

00:07:00.080 Is this him being cancelled from the acting career that he enjoyed?

00:07:04.500 Possibly, but he hasn't put out a statement about that yet.

00:07:06.840 I think so, wouldn't you?

00:07:07.600 I'm very curious.

00:07:08.840 Do you think Equity would put out a statement saying, yes, we've removed him?

00:07:11.660 We're not going to have truck with racists?

00:07:13.860 Yeah, don't worry though.

00:07:14.620 If you're looking to hire him, he does have a profile on another website, as Isabel Oakeshot

00:07:18.840 has found, where he curiously lists secret filming among his skills.

00:07:22.340 Really?

00:07:23.140 There you go.

00:07:24.780 How weird.

00:07:26.520 That's weird because that's exactly what he did with the reform campaign.

00:07:29.020 That's shocking.

00:07:29.560 Yes, also much has been made of the fact he did once work for Channel 4.

00:07:33.400 Of course, if he's just taking gig work, that doesn't mean Channel 4 had any knowledge of

00:07:36.460 him.

00:07:37.300 But also ITV there as well.

00:07:39.040 Yes, so seemingly an establishment creature who has worked for a long time in the space

00:07:44.560 and nobody has complained about his racism if he's that candid when the cameras are off,

00:07:48.400 or at least he thinks they're off.

00:07:49.360 Yeah, you'd think he'd be a racist all the time.

00:07:51.300 Yeah.

00:07:51.600 And I heard also he specialised in something like rough talking.

00:07:56.440 Yes.

00:07:56.700 Yeah, the contrast between him being very posh and well-spoken, saying, my name is Andrew

00:08:01.500 Parker, I've been in lots of films, to going, oh, we should throw these people at the pub,

00:08:05.700 mate.

00:08:05.940 I mean, it's absurd.

00:08:07.560 Nobody's buying it.

00:08:08.140 He just happens to show up to the Clackton constituency doing his rough speaking voice,

00:08:11.420 which, if anything, is very patronising to the people living in the area of Clackton.

00:08:14.660 I don't know why you'd feel the need to lie when canvassing for a candidate you actually

00:08:19.180 believe in.

00:08:19.900 Also, funny thing about memory holing his content, here's a TikTok account.

00:08:23.460 Oh, really?

00:08:23.880 And I went to go and find some of the videos, because there are screenshots floating around

00:08:26.940 about him doing lots of direct-to-camera videos.

00:08:28.640 That's gone too.

00:08:29.680 They're all gone, except for one video posted last week saying we need Nigel as Reform PM,

00:08:33.980 when Nigel is warning about Vladimir Putin possibly invading Ukraine because of aggression.

00:08:40.360 So the one mainstream narrative attack against Nigel is still left up.

00:08:45.760 He's reinforcing it.

00:08:46.680 But none of his direct-to-camera videos are still there.

00:08:48.660 And Nigel himself said they've seen them and saved them, and he calls him a modern-day

00:08:52.280 Alf Garnet.

00:08:53.160 So they're caricaturish and, let's say, offensive to people of non-white extraction.

00:08:58.660 Curiously, they're all gone, but the one video that might redirect some smear against

00:09:02.340 Nigel is still up on his account.

00:09:04.260 Very weird.

00:09:04.920 Now, look, we don't know whether or not he has been paid to say any of this.

00:09:08.240 We don't know whether or not him being an actual actor implicates the production company

00:09:12.640 more than it implicates himself.

00:09:13.780 But clearly, there are questions here, and they'll be asked in due course.

00:09:16.500 But the fact that Channel 4 dove on this grenade without vetting it in the first place

00:09:19.620 shows just how desperate they are to try to smear Farage.

00:09:22.600 And the establishment of all formed in line accordingly.

00:09:24.560 Because in the UK, as I think New York Post endorsed Trump at the last election cycle,

00:09:29.220 we get media channels that come out and endorse candidates.

00:09:31.580 And so the papers have started making their endorsements.

00:09:34.400 Let's look at the series of papers whose readers often vote reform, but they seem to

00:09:39.840 have fallen in line behind the Union Party.

00:09:41.420 First example, Daily Mail.

00:09:42.900 So let's look at what the Daily Mail have said.

00:09:44.340 So the Daily Mail have supported the Tories.

00:09:45.920 Sorry, just a quick thing.

00:09:47.540 Isn't that as bad as a condemnation?

00:09:49.720 Like, oh no, the Daily Mail have supported the Tories.

00:09:51.840 The Tories are like, guys, just shut up.

00:09:54.220 You know, we don't want to support the Daily Mail.

00:09:56.420 Oh, God.

00:09:58.260 Sorry, for anyone outside of the UK, the Daily Mail is not a very well thought of newspaper.

00:10:03.800 Sorry.

00:10:04.460 Especially after throwing Dan Wootten under the bus for doing literally nothing wrong.

00:10:07.780 They've thrown literally everyone under the bus.

00:10:09.200 Except, weirdly, Nadine Dorries, who wrote a pro-Tory article recently, despite releasing

00:10:12.820 the plot, which accuses a Tory party of doing, and I'll be careful saying this, some sordid

00:10:18.160 and potentially illegal things.

00:10:19.520 But it's nice to see the Daily Mail finally nailing its colours to the Tory mast, right?

00:10:24.740 As in, yeah, we're actually just, you know, the conservative, just like the Telegraph.

00:10:29.120 The Telegraph is famous for being the Tory graph.

00:10:31.420 The Daily Mail is finally like, yeah, no, we're just for the Tories.

00:10:33.860 Well, what's really weird with this article is they've got a picture of Starmer right

00:10:37.080 at the top.

00:10:38.900 Notice something about this?

00:10:41.300 Why have they chosen a photo of Starmer essentially LARPing as a Hindu?

00:10:45.420 On a visit to India, or something?

00:10:46.840 When they're endorsing the actual sitting Hindu Prime Minister.

00:10:49.840 That's a great question.

00:10:50.940 As if it's like, oh, you don't want to vote Keir Starmer, he pretends to be foreign.

00:10:54.820 Meanwhile, vote for Rishi Sunak.

00:10:58.000 It's weird framing by the Daily Mail.

00:11:00.240 It's just like, I wouldn't have thought to do that, but there you go.

00:11:03.520 So anyway, they write on Farage.

00:11:05.600 That picture of, okay, yeah, it's a guy visiting India, okay?

00:11:13.980 Like, that's, yeah, you know, that's...

00:11:16.840 It doesn't make him look bad.

00:11:18.580 It makes him look slightly awkward.

00:11:20.080 Yeah.

00:11:20.520 But then that's...

00:11:21.300 It's kind of endearing, to be honest, which is annoying.

00:11:23.940 I wouldn't say that, but I just, I'm very...

00:11:25.720 I think for a regular person's perspective, that could look kind of sweet.

00:11:29.540 But if you're trying to persuade someone to vote for a British Indian Prime Minister,

00:11:34.700 and then you're using, but Keir Starmer's pretending to be Indian.

00:11:37.120 It's like...

00:11:37.900 So weird.

00:11:38.760 Odd.

00:11:39.100 But anyway, so they talk about, to their readers, who might be inclined to vote reform

00:11:42.520 over Tory because the Tories have betrayed you for 14 years.

00:11:44.560 They say, let's face facts.

00:11:46.300 No other party can hope to govern or indeed have the slightest impact on the nation's fortunes

00:11:49.800 over the next parliament.

00:11:50.620 This is a two-horse race.

00:11:52.540 Between the Lib Dems and Labour.

00:11:54.220 So voters must not only decide who they want to see in power, but also who they don't.

00:11:57.360 Disillusioned Tories may wish to punish their party for its manifest failings of recent

00:12:00.260 years.

00:12:00.940 But the Mail's advice to anyone to vote reform, tempted to vote reform, is simple.

00:12:04.120 Don't!

00:12:04.700 This disgusting outburst by one of its people calling Mr. Sunak an effing P-word, which

00:12:09.360 I cannot repeat.

00:12:10.280 Again, the actor said this.

00:12:11.640 Is the latest evidence that this Potemkin party is not fit for purpose.

00:12:14.720 Nigel Farage may have the common touch, but he revealed himself to be a Putin stooge.

00:12:18.260 I think that's defamatory, personally.

00:12:19.920 Aside from him, the party offers little more than bile, invective, and white noise.

00:12:23.720 You're the Daily Mail?

00:12:25.200 Yes.

00:12:25.940 What is wrong with you?

00:12:29.280 The Daily Mail is the most schizophrenic paper in the country, I swear to God.

00:12:32.300 At least the other papers know what they stand for.

00:12:34.320 Well, yeah.

00:12:34.620 If they want to promote social conservatism, but they actively have the sidebar of shame

00:12:37.740 of some Love Island tart with their breasts out, it doesn't really...

00:12:41.840 Yeah.

00:12:42.300 Did you see the Eddie Izzard article the other day?

00:12:44.880 Oh, what they call her?

00:12:46.460 With amazing legs as they get on a bicycle.

00:12:49.920 And they do pro-Lizzo ones as well.

00:12:51.860 Lizzo looking amazing in a bikini.

00:12:53.500 It's like, what the hell is wrong?

00:12:54.120 Stelios writing for the Daily Mail.

00:12:55.360 No, I also wrote...

00:12:56.820 No, I didn't write.

00:12:57.700 I read the one about Nicole Scherzinger.

00:13:02.240 Of course you did.

00:13:03.360 Stop gooning.

00:13:04.140 Now's not the time.

00:13:04.920 I have no idea who that is.

00:13:05.720 But anyway.

00:13:06.380 So they did a sort of tactical voting article on which Tory candidates to vote for.

00:13:10.920 My advice is don't for most of them.

00:13:13.220 Yeah, absolutely.

00:13:13.900 So on with the next ones.

00:13:15.080 The Sunday Mirror decided to endorse Labour, because of course they did.

00:13:17.520 The most painful headline I've ever read.

00:13:19.800 Be on the right side of history this time.

00:13:21.700 Vote Labour.

00:13:23.220 Thank God.

00:13:23.760 Thank you, just Liberal Establishment.

00:13:27.260 The Sunday Mirror is basically a low-class communist paper.

00:13:29.660 Yes.

00:13:30.520 Painfully lame.

00:13:32.540 Interesting, the Times have endorsed Labour.

00:13:34.960 The mouthpiece of the One Nation Tories, which obviously there's barely a cigarette paper between their actual policy.

00:13:41.000 They have expressed support for some instances on Ukraine and Israel, because of course they have, because they're neocons.

00:13:46.100 They have concern on his stance about taxes and legal migrants, though notably not legal,

00:13:49.960 which is why they published William Hague's This is the Age of Migration article.

00:13:52.700 And so they say, these sizable caveats notwithstanding, so these fundamental value conflicts, just ignore them.

00:13:57.660 We cannot go on as we are, and we believe now is the right time for Labour to be entrusted with restoring competence to government.

00:14:02.480 Because Keir Starmer is going to continue the managerial globalist Blairite paradigm,

00:14:06.880 and that's the paper of the elite of the managerial globalist Blairite paradigm.

00:14:11.220 And this is what is really weird about the Labour rhetoric in this election,

00:14:15.980 because basically they are saying that Conservatives, as they say there, have forfeited the right to govern.

00:14:20.580 So give us power to do the same thing.

00:14:23.200 Yeah, exactly.

00:14:23.880 Yeah, they think that this particular manager of the regional branch of the global managerial brand

00:14:29.240 has forfeited the right to govern, but not the brand itself.

00:14:31.600 Yeah, correct.

00:14:32.120 And so they just want to swap out Rishi Sunak for Keir Starmer.

00:14:34.120 The interesting thing is, I should have brought this up actually, but on the train here,

00:14:36.680 I read a Guido Fawkes article where they uncovered Rishi Sunak's magazine article in 1997.

00:14:41.760 Endorsing Tony Blair.

00:14:42.620 Endorsing Tony Blair.

00:14:43.280 So again, just the door revolves, doesn't it?

00:14:46.340 It's just all Blairism forever.

00:14:48.540 Yep.

00:14:49.160 Also the Financial Times have endorsed Labour, because as David Starkey recently put in a meeting I was in,

00:14:54.620 the Labour Party are now the parliamentary political wing of the global managerial class.

00:14:59.960 Yeah, because the Tory party has collapsed.

00:15:02.220 Yes, quite.

00:15:03.080 Yeah.

00:15:03.560 Again, they think they've repudiated this particular guy, not the actual order.

00:15:07.080 So all of the papers are against them.

00:15:08.820 We've now got multiple broadcasting channels against them.

00:15:10.960 And TikTok yesterday, midway through their conference, their sort of rallying event,

00:15:15.960 decided to shut down the live stream when Anne Widdicombe said there are only two genders.

00:15:20.160 Tice obviously said that this is an outrageous biased attack on a major political party,

00:15:24.100 because we pointed out there are only two genders.

00:15:25.380 Yes, obviously.

00:15:26.340 They're always going to attack you.

00:15:27.700 Stop trying to play by their rule book.

00:15:29.000 They'd sooner see you dead than victorious.

00:15:30.480 Just remember that.

00:15:31.640 And speaking of that, we have the BBC.

00:15:33.960 Now, Nigel Farage is boycotting the BBC because of this question time.

00:15:37.300 Did either of you watch this?

00:15:38.240 I did watch it.

00:15:39.020 Okay, so...

00:15:39.940 First question.

00:15:40.260 Nigel Farage, why are you a big racist?

00:15:42.440 Yeah, well, I decided...

00:15:43.380 Second question.

00:15:43.760 Nigel Farage, you are a big racist, though.

00:15:46.000 Third question.

00:15:46.900 Mr. Farage, on your racism.

00:15:49.280 Oh, God.

00:15:50.380 I decided to spoil my Sunday morning by making a short compilation of some of these questions.

00:15:53.860 We'll watch some of them just to ensure that the audience have context for...

00:15:56.780 I'm really not joking.

00:15:58.040 ...just how dreadfully biased this thing is.

00:15:59.640 As I said to Adrian and Nigel, I'll just remind you that you're here to answer the questions from the audience.

00:16:04.940 You know, I will not interrupt you.

00:16:06.600 That's my aim.

00:16:07.360 Unless, obviously, you stray off the point.

00:16:09.200 Oh, in fact, the question isn't answered.

00:16:10.760 So let's start with our first question tonight, which is from Mark Corden.

00:16:15.660 Hello.

00:16:16.100 I'd like to know, what is it about you and your party that attracts racists and extremists, whether you say you want them or not?

00:16:24.640 Well, I've done really.

00:16:25.520 Well, I mean, that's one example from today, but what about the multiple examples from throughout your career?

00:16:33.840 I mean, I'm asking about everybody who said things about shooting people coming across.

00:16:40.520 No, no, no, no.

00:16:41.040 We know where this goes.

00:16:42.900 We need the third one.

00:16:44.500 Trust me.

00:16:45.160 Because do you know who these people are?

00:16:46.480 Well, they are handpicked by the BBC because they work for the BBC, is that correct?

00:16:50.900 Some of them are, yeah.

00:16:51.940 That was what that man said yesterday.

00:16:53.700 Let's talk about your record.

00:16:55.900 You've very clearly wanted to distance yourself from this man, Andrew Parker.

00:16:59.420 We've all heard that.

00:17:00.140 Anyone.

00:17:00.620 Okay.

00:17:01.340 Well, anyone.

00:17:01.920 Let's talk about some of your candidates.

00:17:03.440 So, I've thought long and hard about this.

00:17:07.960 The kind of language that is ascribed to them, that is reported as having been said by them, is not the kind of language I would ever use.

00:17:14.480 But also, we know what we're talking about, and forgive me if I offend you at home, I'm going to repeat some of it.

00:17:19.260 So, Leslie Lilly, candidate for Southend, Southend, Easton, Rochford, who said...

00:17:24.440 I apologize to those offended by that.

00:17:28.240 These are your candidates.

00:17:29.180 Why are they still your candidates?

00:17:30.380 Yeah, I mean, I know some of my friends, they have start-up companies, but none of them employ a whole slew of massive racists like you.

00:17:38.680 So, reason I went through those ones specifically, I mean, they just kept going on and on and on.

00:17:47.580 I've put them all together.

00:17:48.380 It's about seven minutes of the same question being asked.

00:17:50.400 And Fiona Bruce, of course, is not impartial.

00:17:52.700 There is no such thing as a neutral institution.

00:17:54.140 They're just cloaking their insane establishment left-wing bias behind the pretense of offending polite sensibilities.

00:18:01.240 And these people have zero problem with his opponent in Clacton, who says that his favorite drink is drinking white man's tears.

00:18:08.420 Yes, and they were much softer on the Green Party candidate, who'd just shown up half an hour before,

00:18:12.220 when 20 different Green Party candidates had made remarks such as,

00:18:16.460 we should sink Royal Navy vessels, and we're in support of various antisemitic things.

00:18:22.140 So, you know, again, only cuts one way.

00:18:24.380 The reason I bring this up, though, is because we've done some digging, as has Antifa Watch,

00:18:28.880 and found out exactly who these plants are in Question Time's audience.

00:18:31.900 So, remember, never impartial, the first bloke is a BBC director who's worked with Doctor Who.

00:18:37.460 So, amazing. Amazing. It was just a coincidence, guys.

00:18:41.280 We were just doing a random sample of the public, and it just happened to be a BBC director who got the first question.

00:18:46.520 What are the odds?

00:18:47.520 Yeah, sat next to his missus who's an actress.

00:18:51.500 Amazing.

00:18:52.000 Yeah, quite.

00:18:52.660 Just a coincidence.

00:18:53.560 Now, if you think this was obviously a pure accident,

00:18:58.220 one, they pre-screen all the questions, so you have to write them down before and then they select it,

00:19:02.900 and two, then the bloke went on his Facebook profile, making his profile photo a screenshot of him on Question Time,

00:19:09.520 boasting about the fact that not only did I get to glare at Farage,

00:19:12.300 but I was called on to ask the first question of him since made the BBC and ITV News reports to.

00:19:16.100 These people are just midwit narcissists, all of them.

00:19:19.820 This is total virtue, Sigmund.

00:19:21.120 Yeah, and they provided a platform to essentially shape public opinion, despite the not credible...

00:19:27.900 Unrepresentative nature of their views?

00:19:29.860 That, and also the not credible smears levelled at Farage, because the bloke who said all these things is an actor.

00:19:35.020 So, clear election manipulation.

00:19:37.620 I mean, Mark Gordon may well know him.

00:19:39.020 Yes.

00:19:39.420 As a director.

00:19:40.160 Maybe, has Mark ever directed anything the guys appeared in?

00:19:43.900 That would be an interesting question.

00:19:45.480 We don't know, but clearly he has a very prosperous acting career, so who knows?

00:19:50.440 Couldn't allege anything.

00:19:51.480 The other bloke who said, I don't employ massive racists like you,

00:19:55.780 again, I'm sure he's an impartial guy, except for the fact that he's a notable Palestinian and migrants activist.

00:20:03.060 This man is called Salman Mirza, and he's formerly British Army, 1986-1989,

00:20:08.460 then became a trade unionist, and now represents migrants and refugees in legal cases involving their citizenship,

00:20:13.720 according to a Birmingham Live piece that is screenshotted in this thread.

00:20:17.620 This is a sort of profile on him.

00:20:19.420 So, I did some other evening about it, and it's curious, because the BBC actually knows who he is,

00:20:23.020 because they did a puff piece on him in 2021.

00:20:25.700 So, he organised an anti-homophobia rally in 2021 in Birmingham,

00:20:30.160 because a couple of people were attacked walking home from a nightclub.

00:20:32.760 Obviously, nobody should be attacked just because they're gay.

00:20:34.980 Terrible.

00:20:36.720 Though, considering this man is very pro-migrant, and very pro-Muslim states, per Palestine,

00:20:44.100 you'd think that he might analyse whether or not his politics are the type of ones that are endangering these people

00:20:49.700 that he's coming out to represent, because the person attacked in question was John Paul Kessler,

00:20:54.560 and he was attacked walking home through Birmingham's gay village on the 10th of October.

00:20:57.880 Now, the perpetrator must be one of those horrible reform supporters, right?

00:21:02.000 No doubt.

00:21:02.840 Well, the BBC reports that it's Usman Mirza, 29, from Tipton.

00:21:06.580 Really?

00:21:06.980 And he was charged with two...

00:21:08.140 Tipton?

00:21:08.760 Yeah, two counts of assault and possessing an offensive weapon.

00:21:11.300 Amazing.

00:21:11.820 Bit awkward, yeah.

00:21:12.840 So, Mr. Mirza's politics are the ones endangering gay people here, not Nigel Farage's.

00:21:18.000 But anyway, also something...

00:21:19.660 Just a quick thing as well.

00:21:20.460 This is all such obvious...

00:21:23.960 I don't even know what to call it.

00:21:25.700 Just a preposterous charade.

00:21:28.180 Nobody thinks that Nigel Farage supporters are going to be a danger to anyone.

00:21:32.780 They're a bunch of, you know, white English boomers.

00:21:35.580 Yes.

00:21:35.980 Sorry, nobody thinks they're a danger to anyone.

00:21:38.560 It's just pathetic that we're even having this discussion.

00:21:41.120 They're biscuit tin nationalists, not the BNP.

00:21:43.280 I mean...

00:21:44.120 Obvious Churchill fanboys.

00:21:45.700 Yeah, exactly.

00:21:46.680 That's it.

00:21:47.580 Who isn't a Churchill fanboy is actually Mr. Mirza.

00:21:51.640 Oh, really?

00:21:52.340 What a shock.

00:21:52.960 And this needs to be maybe looked into.

00:21:55.620 Because he actually was planning to be representative for a rival political party.

00:21:59.740 Oh, really?

00:22:00.040 And that wasn't disclosed when he decided to get given a question.

00:22:02.720 So he wanted to found the Never Forget Gaza party.

00:22:06.020 Oh, really?

00:22:06.400 Yeah.

00:22:06.660 And this describes him as a politician.

00:22:08.120 And he gave a statement to the article.

00:22:09.220 So I assume he doesn't resent the characterisation of this.

00:22:12.640 This is only at the end of last year.

00:22:14.200 24th of November, 2023.

00:22:15.740 Very curious.

00:22:16.700 So I won't read his statement.

00:22:17.740 Very Anglo-centric.

00:22:19.460 Yeah.

00:22:20.460 Directly concerned with what happens in England.

00:22:22.700 Average British patriot.

00:22:23.960 Yes.

00:22:24.560 Against Shabana Mahoud.

00:22:26.040 Mahoud, oh, God.

00:22:27.540 Yes.

00:22:28.160 Again, sectarian politics that Farad wondered about.

00:22:30.460 What's most curious, though, so I couldn't find whether or not he's running.

00:22:33.380 I don't think he is.

00:22:35.100 But that makes it even more strange because there is a Twitter account related with it

00:22:39.380 where there's footage of him speaking at rallies last year saying,

00:22:42.600 Never Forget Gaza.

00:22:43.520 And then linked in the bio of this Twitter account, there is a GoFundMe page.

00:22:47.520 And it's raised £2,000.

00:22:48.840 And it says, if I just click on Read More here,

00:22:53.080 it actually says the amount they need to start up a party.

00:22:55.760 And they say, we need £150 to register, £500 to register to stand the general election,

00:22:59.760 and £1,000 for the campaign.

00:23:01.600 Right, so they made it.

00:23:02.440 They made it.

00:23:03.480 So why isn't he standing?

00:23:05.140 Where's that money gone?

00:23:06.380 Well, that's a great question.

00:23:07.440 But, I mean, why isn't he standing?

00:23:09.260 Yeah.

00:23:09.900 Curious.

00:23:10.940 How strange.

00:23:11.920 I mean, has anyone checked the electoral rolls?

00:23:13.640 Maybe he is standing.

00:23:14.780 Well, so we had a look, and we can't find him standing.

00:23:18.240 So if he is standing, then the BBC have actually broken Ofcom guidance on election reporting

00:23:22.700 because you shouldn't platform rival candidates without disclosing that.

00:23:25.340 If he isn't standing, where's the money gone?

00:23:28.020 Because this is clearly a startup that he wanted to start,

00:23:30.460 and he may not have employed a bunch of massive racists, despite back in Palestine.

00:23:33.840 I'm sure they're totally not.

00:23:35.200 But he seems to have employed some people that aren't too good on finances.

00:23:38.920 Or perhaps he just forgot Gaza after all.

00:23:41.640 Oops.

00:23:42.000 Interesting.

00:23:42.540 There we go.

00:23:43.080 Now, this isn't the only time that this has happened.

00:23:44.820 The BBC also, in a prior question time, I think this was the seven leaders debate one,

00:23:48.600 had a man in the audience that kept cutting to shake his head whenever Farage spoke.

00:23:51.980 Yeah, yeah.

00:23:52.560 I remember, yeah.

00:23:53.140 Yeah, do you know his name?

00:23:54.580 Will Plant.

00:23:56.880 You can't make it up.

00:23:58.460 Will Plant.

00:24:01.400 Yeah.

00:24:01.960 What were the odds?

00:24:02.740 Works for the council.

00:24:03.920 Digital inclusion lead.

00:24:05.060 He's a DEI activist.

00:24:06.420 Oh, what a shot.

00:24:07.900 The odds.

00:24:09.460 The odds.

00:24:10.180 These people are paid also, by the way.

00:24:11.400 We took a random sampling of the UK public, and it just happened to be a BBC director,

00:24:15.060 a Palestine activist, and someone who works for a local council.

00:24:18.660 Yeah.

00:24:19.160 It turns out when reform's polling 20%, but there's not a single reform question posed by

00:24:24.120 the audience, there might be something funny here.

00:24:27.560 A fifth of that audience should have been Farage supporters.

00:24:30.760 Yes.

00:24:31.080 And bear in mind, they spent 30 grand on the Sunak Starmer question time leader debate

00:24:35.560 for time lost and travel income.

00:24:38.080 So all these people have been paid to be there.

00:24:39.720 So they're just funnelling money to their mates.

00:24:41.580 Funnelling licence fee payer money, by the way, which you're forced to do if you're in

00:24:44.240 the UK and you want a live television.

00:24:45.880 But anyway, so I'll just wrap up on the last few bits.

00:24:47.720 It gets worse.

00:24:48.460 So this is an escalation.

00:24:49.700 Now there are fake reform concessions by Conservative candidates.

00:24:53.140 Oh, yeah.

00:24:53.540 What happened here?

00:24:54.720 So this is Jake Berry.

00:24:55.900 Sir Jake Berry.

00:24:57.300 And this is a chap named Nick Harris.

00:24:59.180 Now, Nick Harris was involved in Reform UK and was expelled for reasons that haven't been

00:25:03.700 released.

00:25:04.420 So I won't speculate as to what.

00:25:06.220 He's apparently now working with the Conservatives to write letters saying vote reform, get Labour

00:25:10.340 with Reform's colours and not really any Conservative branding.

00:25:15.720 So it looks like a concession by the Reform candidate.

00:25:18.800 You wouldn't know this was sent by Conservatives.

00:25:20.800 Exactly.

00:25:22.140 So that's very dubious.

00:25:24.640 And I think the Electoral Commission, if they were fair and impartial, should be taking

00:25:28.140 a look at that.

00:25:29.160 But there you go.

00:25:30.360 And then the other really dodgy thing is there are now accusations that they're bribing candidates

00:25:33.200 coming directly from Isabel Oakeshott and Richard Tice because a Reform candidate is

00:25:37.720 supposed to be defected to the Tories.

00:25:39.800 Why would you do that?

00:25:41.300 Well, well.

00:25:43.260 I mean, like there's a reason.

00:25:45.580 How many Conservative MPs are just not contesting their seats in this election?

00:25:50.440 Above 60.

00:25:51.500 Yeah, it's like 75 or so.

00:25:52.900 And there's also multiple ones have been expelled from the party for sex scandals and watching

00:25:56.260 pornography in the Commons and financial abuse.

00:25:58.640 But it's not people who are nobodies either.

00:26:00.380 Like Michael Gove is just like, we're not going to win.

00:26:02.220 Ben Wallace.

00:26:02.880 Ben Wallace, yeah.

00:26:03.580 But they know they're going to get absolutely trashed.

00:26:05.640 And so you're like, yeah, you know what I need to do?

00:26:07.360 Defect to the Tories.

00:26:08.440 This is my time.

00:26:09.480 There might be a deal cut here.

00:26:12.220 This is the suggestion.

00:26:13.320 Exactly.

00:26:13.440 So this is Liam Booth Isherwood.

00:26:15.220 No, haven't heard of him either.

00:26:16.280 Who's standing in earwash and they said that there was a significant moral issue in light

00:26:21.280 of the recent Channel 4 expose, again, actor, and reports of widespread racism and sexism.

00:26:26.220 So he's endorsed the Conservative candidate in the seat.

00:26:27.740 Well, Richard Tice has come out and said.

00:26:29.700 Them candidate.

00:26:30.540 Well, yeah.

00:26:30.900 He's pinned his colours to the mast here, Richard Tice.

00:26:32.740 And he says, Tory candidates, probably involving CCHQ, that's his accusation, not mine, are

00:26:36.780 offering jobs and inducements to reform candidates to persuade them to talk badly of reform,

00:26:41.820 stand down and then endorse a Tory candidate.

00:26:43.480 Today, a senior Tory former MP offered the candidate in her constituency a job as part

00:26:48.440 of her team if she spoke badly of reform and resigned and endorsed the Tories.

00:26:52.360 She has apparently secretly recorded the conversation and given it to the press.

00:26:55.300 So that will be shared soon.

00:26:56.520 So there's some damning evidence of that.

00:26:58.120 Also, a reform candidate making false allegations against the party in earwash, this candidate

00:27:02.100 that we've just said.

00:27:03.060 And he's saying, what was he offered?

00:27:04.740 He needs to answer a question about that.

00:27:06.280 And then there was also a reform candidate withdrew his nomination papers from a council on the

00:27:09.960 7th of June, minutes before nominations close, and then endorsing the Tory

00:27:13.260 Gavin Williamson, Sir Gavin Williamson, who must know where the bodies are buried because

00:27:16.820 he keeps being thrown out of cabinet and then given jobs and a knighthood.

00:27:20.860 Very, very shady.

00:27:22.480 And also, apparently, their Dudley candidate, reformed Dudley candidate, rejected an offer

00:27:26.060 of a safe seat, council seat, from the local Tories if he withdrew too.

00:27:29.840 There seems to be some chicanery here.

00:27:32.280 Trying to bribe people to stand down to give the Tories a vote share that I don't think

00:27:37.620 they would have had otherwise because people just hate the Conservatives and probably weren't

00:27:40.440 going to vote.

00:27:41.040 And so, if all else fails, if all else fails, if they can't sabotage on the Channel 4 with

00:27:44.560 the BBC, with possibly CCHQ, allegations pending, blame Russia.

00:27:50.740 Because, of course, it's the absolute idiot's attack.

00:27:52.920 This is Oliver Dowden, Deputy Prime Minister, who's saying, oh, Russian bots, there are five

00:27:58.420 pages working on behalf of Putin, boosting reform, and that's why they're absolutely

00:28:02.440 trouncing us in the social media game.

00:28:04.340 It's an obvious code.

00:28:06.180 Yeah.

00:28:06.840 Painful and pathetic.

00:28:07.880 So, I'm going to finish on one final clip, and this is how reform should deal with it,

00:28:10.500 and I just quite enjoy this.

00:28:11.620 So, Beth Rigby decided to ambush Nigel at the rally yesterday, and she kept asking about

00:28:17.500 Putin and about all his candidates and that.

00:28:19.020 And then she got onto the topic of Andrew Tate, who, again, I find objectionable.

00:28:24.080 This is how Farah had dealt with it, and this is the level of absurdity that they've

00:28:27.240 gotten to at this point.

00:28:28.000 There's another person I wanted to talk to you about, and that was Andrew Tate.

00:28:31.860 What do you think of him?

00:28:32.840 You described him as an important voice for men a couple of months ago.

00:28:37.940 He really is massive.

00:28:39.860 Huge, huge voice for men.

00:28:41.700 Doesn't mean I agree with him in any way at all.

00:28:43.960 Doesn't mean that I'm not horrified by seeing some of the charges and the extradition,

00:28:49.020 that's probably going to happen.

00:28:50.340 Do you think he's an important voice?

00:28:52.640 For young men, not for me.

00:28:54.000 He just said that.

00:28:54.500 Why do you think he's got the massive following he's got?

00:28:56.920 What do you think is going on here?

00:28:59.300 I talk honestly.

00:29:00.080 I don't support him in any way at all, but I can see for many young men, he is important.

00:29:05.280 You're aware he's been charged with sexual assault and people trafficking in Romania.

00:29:09.100 Does that change your observation about him?

00:29:12.400 I'll tell you what, let's execute him.

00:29:14.020 You happy?

00:29:14.720 This is the nonsense that we've got.

00:29:16.400 Nobody can talk objectively, sensibly about anything.

00:29:20.760 Andrew Tate is very important to a huge number of young men.

00:29:24.740 Now that should worry you.

00:29:27.220 That should worry you.

00:29:28.460 Does it worry you?

00:29:29.380 Of course it does.

00:29:30.320 You disavow him then, Nigel.

00:29:32.000 I've just done it twice.

00:29:32.980 Three times in the cockerel crowed in a biblical way.

00:29:37.820 It's pathetic.

00:29:38.760 It's a circus.

00:29:39.860 And so we should just brush off all this stuff at this point, because they're always going

00:29:42.940 to hate you.

00:29:43.220 They're always going to call you racist, and they'll stop at nothing to sabotage what seems

00:29:46.060 to be a genuine grassroots movement to represent the dispossessed white working class.

00:29:50.200 Genuinely shocked that they didn't run with headlines, Nigel Fry's cause for the execution

00:29:53.860 of Andrew Tate.

00:29:55.520 Genuinely, that amazes me.

00:29:57.540 It's hemorrhaging middle of the votes.

00:30:00.600 They are pathetic.

00:30:02.980 So, I have some good news, and that is the centrist neolib consensus is falling apart.

00:30:12.820 It's falling apart here, it's falling apart in Germany, and it's falling apart in France,

00:30:16.860 because they had their, what do they call them, the first stage of their parliamentary elections,

00:30:24.080 and Le Pen came out on top.

00:30:27.520 Macron came out on the back.

00:30:29.420 Everyone can see this has gone wrong.

00:30:31.560 But before we begin, of course, on July the 4th, we're going to be doing a live rumble

00:30:36.980 live stream all night.

00:30:39.120 And if you want to support us and send us video chats to send in your thoughts on the

00:30:43.460 election, go sign up to lowseats.com using the code 0SEATS for 50% off your first three

00:30:47.720 months with gold tier, and send us those comments, because they're going to be fun.

00:30:52.320 It's going to be a good night.

00:30:53.080 And hopefully we get something similar as to what's happening here.

00:30:56.700 So, you may remember that the right wing did superbly well in the EU elections.

00:31:03.640 This was huge gains, but not majorities.

00:31:06.680 It's still like the centrist coalitions in the EU parliament.

00:31:10.280 But there were losses in the centre and on the left wing coalitions.

00:31:13.420 So, everyone would say, oh, OK, the weather vane is going towards the right.

00:31:19.840 And so, Macron decided to call a snap presidential, snap elections to prevent the far right rise

00:31:26.960 in France, which in retrospect seems to have been a massive mistake.

00:31:31.380 So, they have multiple kinds of elections.

00:31:34.500 They have a semi-parliamentary system in France.

00:31:36.540 And so, this election they've held just now is the first round of their parliamentary elections.

00:31:42.980 And then on Sunday will be the second runoff votes, which will be just, no, I can't predict

00:31:49.780 anything because I don't know anything about the way that the things work in France, frankly.

00:31:53.960 It's important to say that Macron himself will not be deposed from this because the presidential

00:31:58.420 election is separate.

00:31:59.340 Yes, because this isn't a presidential election.

00:32:01.780 I think it's going to be in 2027.

00:32:04.540 Correct.

00:32:04.800 But this is the parliamentary election, which can basically turn Macron into a lame duck.

00:32:10.680 So, he can't get anything done and further increase the wind in the sails of the right

00:32:16.860 and further just end up sinking the sort of centrist consensus.

00:32:23.060 And so, yeah, Macron calls these elections knowing that the centre can't hold.

00:32:27.720 And so, his gambit was, well, we're going to be very reasonable.

00:32:31.440 I mean, he says, you know, we acknowledge that voters are having difficulty getting by,

00:32:36.420 even when they're working, very everyday difficulties.

00:32:39.360 And this created anger and resentment.

00:32:41.380 People feel they aren't listened to or respected.

00:32:43.320 We can't remain indifferent to all of these messages.

00:32:45.540 So, why were you indifferent to this at all?

00:32:48.380 Why is it that your governance makes things more difficult for people?

00:32:51.940 Why is it that they feel disenfranchised?

00:32:54.500 Why is it that this was normal for you?

00:32:57.780 And you thought, you know what, I'm just going to appeal to the respectability of our party

00:33:02.800 to get you back on side.

00:33:04.540 Reasonable people will, I mean, in fact, he says,

00:33:08.180 the voters have a choice between the unholy alliances at the two extremes

00:33:11.500 who agree on almost nothing except handing out jobs.

00:33:15.200 Right, so your opponents are promising jobs.

00:33:18.020 That's your pitch.

00:33:19.100 I mean, that might be anathema to the French.

00:33:21.300 True, true.

00:33:22.560 Again, I don't understand the French.

00:33:25.360 If that was the pitch here, that would sound good.

00:33:29.160 But versus Zone Block, which has a single vision of the country.

00:33:31.960 We aren't perfect, but we've got results.

00:33:35.060 Now, that sounds a lot like Sennac, doesn't it?

00:33:36.920 The reason is, is because his constituency is not the French people.

00:33:40.520 It is the esteem of global managerial technocrat class.

00:33:45.420 It's the WEF.

00:33:45.980 Well, yes.

00:33:46.480 And the United Nations and the World Health Organization.

00:33:48.920 When I say the WEF, I don't mean the WEF itself.

00:33:51.420 I mean the entire class of people who are pinned to it.

00:33:53.920 Yes.

00:33:54.220 You could say that if he cared about the French people,

00:33:57.300 he wouldn't do such a reckless move.

00:33:59.360 If he cared about the French people, he would make a retirement, wouldn't he?

00:34:02.700 We'd just resign.

00:34:03.620 Yeah, yeah, he probably would.

00:34:04.340 But the point is, again, it's very much Sennac messaging.

00:34:07.380 It's like, look, I know you've had us for, what was it, five years?

00:34:10.500 Or however long with Macron?

00:34:11.620 No, no, he's been in for two times.

00:34:12.920 Yeah, he's been two times.

00:34:13.660 So he's coming on a decade of Macron ruining France.

00:34:18.320 And he's like, look, so I've called this election.

00:34:21.380 And again, very much mirroring Sennac here.

00:34:23.540 It's like, okay, I've called us an app election.

00:34:25.240 Oh, it looks like we're about to get tanked.

00:34:26.860 Oh, that was a mistake.

00:34:27.720 I can't believe you don't want more of the same.

00:34:30.100 And that's the only thing he's got to argue.

00:34:31.800 And so the election went great for Le Pen.

00:34:34.660 As you can see here, just the size of the crowds that Le Pen's drawing in.

00:34:39.540 Again, very similar to Farage.

00:34:41.400 Very similar to Trump as well.

00:34:42.600 Very similar to Trump.

00:34:43.940 You know, it's actually really nice to see this.

00:34:46.420 You know, those sea of French flags.

00:34:47.980 That's great.

00:34:48.640 They're not all white for one.

00:34:49.440 Look, as an Englishman, I can approve of French patriotism when we're not at war.

00:34:56.360 It's like winding up our little brother.

00:34:57.760 Yeah.

00:34:58.620 And so things weren't really great for Le Pen.

00:35:02.840 Her Sky News report, her far-right national rally party, but also most popular party in France.

00:35:10.860 So thoroughly mainstream at this point.

00:35:13.300 Far-right, but most popular.

00:35:14.620 But just, anyway, they've secured the biggest vote share in the first round of France's parliamentary elections.

00:35:19.680 After the first round of voting, they had 33.14% followed by, so they have a, they don't have, it's not the individual party.

00:35:27.480 It's the, they have a coalition of right-wing parties.

00:35:30.200 And then they have a coalition of left-wing parties under the new popular front coalition, which got 27.9.

00:35:35.980 And then Ensemble, which is the sort of centrist coalition, got 20%.

00:35:41.320 Again, centrism being self-appointed because now infinite migrants from anywhere outside of Europe is apparently the center ground position.

00:35:48.440 Yeah.

00:35:48.640 And this is a massive gain for Le Pen because in 2022, they only got 18% of the elections for France's lower house.

00:35:57.940 So massive gains, massive, massive gains.

00:36:02.060 And there was also massive turnout on the first elections.

00:36:05.380 I was going to, I was going to get that.

00:36:07.100 But no, no, but you're absolutely right.

00:36:08.800 The turnout was spiking.

00:36:10.300 So evidently there's a lot of disenfranchised people who are looking at the status quo, the current international consensus saying, you know what, we're not having this.

00:36:17.540 We're having Le Pen.

00:36:18.640 There's a, there's a 13 point swing among young women that's went well in France, particularly because of Jordan Bardella.

00:36:24.040 We'll get to that.

00:36:24.760 So this, as you can see, is a massive backfire for Macron, which everyone, you know, all the neoliberal center left consensus, Blairic consensus papers, they're all panicking.

00:36:39.740 They're all panicking about it, which is totally just and right and the way that things should be.

00:36:44.360 If they're not panicking, you're not winning, basically.

00:36:46.280 Anyway, and so the question is, what does Le Pen intend to do?

00:36:49.940 Well, first, she's going to end birthright citizenship in which children born to two foreign parents in France automatically obtain French citizenship.

00:36:58.360 Not even Trump's doing that.

00:37:00.040 I know.

00:37:00.560 Well, the Americans, the thing is, birthright citizenship is very much a new world phenomenon, right?

00:37:07.300 It's like your parents were born in France, therefore you get French citizenship.

00:37:09.900 I mean, in the old world, we don't do that.

00:37:13.300 For example, I had loads of friends who were born in Germany, who were on British camps in Germany, but they didn't get German citizenship.

00:37:18.680 I think it only came in after post-war reconstruction, though, to ensure that black slaves were not discounted from the French.

00:37:25.160 So it's a sort of antiquated rule.

00:37:27.200 So ensure that, of course, the black Americans whose parents are still there, because they were there at the founding, is very different to a Chinese woman who has a surrogate to then come over.

00:37:33.840 Yeah, yeah, but almost all of the countries in the new world have just birthright citizenship.

00:37:39.660 So if you're born on the land, then you get citizenship.

00:37:42.640 Whereas in the old world, and this is literally almost every single country in the old world, it's through the rite of blood, just soli, or just sanguine, sorry.

00:37:52.440 So, yeah, it's just normal in the old world.

00:37:55.560 And people in the new world have trouble understanding that.

00:37:58.300 And so this, I mean, Bardella has a great point here.

00:38:01.920 The automatic acquisition of French nationality is no longer justified in a world of 8 billion people, when daily evidence for inability to integrate and assimilate is multiplying on our soil.

00:38:11.020 He's our guy.

00:38:11.860 He's not wrong either.

00:38:13.060 That's the thing.

00:38:14.280 National Rally will also slap restrictions on family reunifications by introducing conditions on employment and income.

00:38:19.740 And it separately unveiled plans to reduce access to medical services for illegal immigrants to emergencies only, and limit welfare access benefits to French citizens only.

00:38:28.300 Totally, totally sensible, totally sensible, non-citizens should not have access to the benefit system of the country.

00:38:36.580 Why is that controversial, right?

00:38:38.220 Going on to law and order, if you can believe such a thing exists in France, there will be a reduction of welfare, basically, because teenagers will, age 16, will be tried as adults.

00:38:51.660 And families of repeat juvenile offenders will have their welfare allowances slashed.

00:38:57.020 Very interesting.

00:38:58.960 The one thing I didn't particularly agree with was France's police forces would be granted an automatic presumption of self-defense in cases that will involve violence, particularly when dealing with protests.

00:39:09.540 The French police are a lot more aggressive than the English, and even often the Americans.

00:39:14.480 Oh, yeah.

00:39:14.860 So that's just the sort of culture they have over there.

00:39:16.620 Yeah, I know.

00:39:17.100 The American police are actually quite restrained when it comes to protests.

00:39:20.640 The French police are aggressive.

00:39:23.460 You see, though, that the French leftists are constantly burning stuff.

00:39:28.320 We'll get to that, too.

00:39:30.100 Dual nationals, and this is a very interesting point, dual nationals will be barred from holding jobs in sensitive strategic posts like defense.

00:39:37.440 These would be reserved for French.

00:39:40.380 Political opponents are, of course, really angry about this.

00:39:43.840 For example, Gabriel Atoll, the prime minister, said,

00:39:47.120 The message you are sending is that when we are bi-national, we are half-national.

00:39:49.980 We are, in fact, not real French, and we would not be trusted to occupy positions of responsibility.

00:39:54.580 Yeah.

00:39:54.760 That's how you feel about yourself, because you haven't renounced the other nationality.

00:39:58.400 Yeah, why are you holding on to the other nationality?

00:40:00.380 Your own identity is.

00:40:01.420 This is the same critique that people had of Rishi Sunak having a green card for America right before becoming an MP and then the chancellor.

00:40:06.980 It's like, yeah, you're an intransient man of anywhere.

00:40:08.800 Why should I trust someone who isn't particularly rooted here if the job prospect's better somewhere else for governing me?

00:40:13.140 How can we have a prime minister who literally has dual loyalties to other countries?

00:40:17.520 That's mad.

00:40:18.720 And so, yeah, that's a totally normal, salient, and sensible thing to do.

00:40:23.020 On foreign policy, they're going to cut funding to the EU by 3 billion euros a year to make VAT cuts at home.

00:40:31.040 They're going to continue supporting Ukraine, but significantly reduce the amount they're going to send, apparently.

00:40:37.860 And they are not going to recognize a Palestinian state.

00:40:43.140 So the interesting thing about this, the top point about the 3 billion cut into the EU, I've seen reporting from The Telegraph and actually from UnHerd from Freddie Sayers getting comment from Nigel Farage at yesterday's reform rally that are suggesting that this will instigate a sort of Liz Trust-style event.

00:41:00.540 And the buzzword for that, of course, for the sort of establishment that haven't listened to Liz's case of why she was cooed out by bankers, is that if you have unfunded tax cuts, you're going to crash the economy.

00:41:11.820 And so the concern is here is that actually Macron's gamble hasn't not paid off.

00:41:17.740 It's that Le Pen and Bardellar's party get in, National Rally get in, Bardellar being the prime minister, that they pull off Le Pen's policies, that the banks move against them, even though, as we spoke about before, unlike the Bank of England, they're not independently appointed.

00:41:31.420 The head of France's bank is appointed by ministers, but the bank moves against them.

00:41:35.260 The markets grumble and try and discredit National Rally ahead of the 27 presidential election where Macron can go, see, told you so, I'm more stable.

00:41:44.660 So they've got to play this very carefully to ensure the markets don't try and smear them.

00:41:48.340 They do. Macron is very much a creature of the system, and the system will support him, as we saw with Liz Ross.

00:41:55.240 When it comes to social policies, they're going to, she's promised to, I love this, she's going to scrap Macron's pension reforms that raised the retirement age to 64, I think it was, and they're going to reinstate the traditional retirement age of 62.

00:42:09.660 It's like, God, they're so lazy.

00:42:10.580 I have some reservations about this.

00:42:14.660 Oh, yeah?

00:42:15.180 Yeah, because if the birth rate is falling, and the French don't want to work for more, then they're basically creating a bomb that has to be addressed.

00:42:23.480 Yes.

00:42:23.960 So I think this is, it just varies, it's 65, 67.

00:42:30.680 No, no.

00:42:31.160 When it's too hot.

00:42:31.500 What about in Italy?

00:42:32.180 What's it in Italy?

00:42:33.080 No, but this is an issue that has to be addressed.

00:42:36.440 Wednesday to Sunday.

00:42:38.480 Sorry.

00:42:38.880 But you are right.

00:42:41.100 This is an issue that has to be addressed, because you can't have all of it.

00:42:44.900 Yeah, no, absolutely.

00:42:46.100 Yeah.

00:42:46.680 There are going to have to be trade-offs.

00:42:48.180 Yeah, because Macron was basically saying what a lot of people in the EU were saying.

00:42:52.940 The demographic is an economic problem.

00:42:55.620 If you have a fertility rate, the population has to stay the same by immigration.

00:43:01.220 So if Le Pen is coming along and doesn't address that issue, there's a question of, you know, how is this going to be?

00:43:08.000 Well, one thing that Telegraph don't think that she's going to do is significantly cut immigration, actually.

00:43:14.520 What they're saying is that she's going to cut the financial incentives for immigration.

00:43:20.120 So I imagine that'll have, what?

00:43:22.340 So they don't want, National Rally don't want to be called mean for deporting illegals, and also trying to incentivise a return to your homeland policy for the people that are subsisting as benefit scroungers and aren't positively contributing.

00:43:38.200 So instead, they want to do the Milton Friedman, well, you can't have open borders in a welfare state, so you've just cut off the welfare state, and hope that the net outflow stops them being called mean names.

00:43:48.120 It's not enough yet.

00:43:50.560 It's not enough yet.

00:43:51.540 Well, it's better than before.

00:43:53.220 Yes, it's better than before, but pressure needs to be put on by the French.

00:43:56.720 Yeah, she's planning to change the benefit system as well.

00:44:01.240 Current policy cuts access to unemployment benefits and shortens the length of benefit and title from 18 to 15 months.

00:44:08.300 Not interesting.

00:44:09.180 But the interesting part is that social benefits will be restricted to French nationals or have worked in France for at least five years.

00:44:14.780 So there we go.

00:44:16.020 That's the economic, well, we just won't give it to the foreigners who arrive here.

00:44:19.320 It's post-liberal.

00:44:20.220 It is.

00:44:20.680 Yes.

00:44:20.960 It's not a bad idea.

00:44:22.000 It probably will have some net effect where it will drive immigration in the right direction.

00:44:27.180 So it's something.

00:44:28.940 Sure, but it keeps probably the current population at the same level, and it only addresses economic concerns, not the cultural concerns, which has then led to the crimes that she has been talking about in a criminal justice policy.

00:44:41.400 Yeah, 100%.

00:44:42.220 But anyway, so who is voting for Le Pen?

00:44:44.920 Well, a lot of small-town voters.

00:44:47.680 Just to summarize this article for France 24, they're not happy with how the country's going.

00:44:52.680 They're not happy with how the migrants have been given a kind of privileged status and how France is losing its character.

00:44:57.740 So they're like, well, we're going far right.

00:44:59.360 And again, if that's, if that telegraph summary is accurate, I don't view that as being very far bloody right.

00:45:07.180 What would just be normal policy 25 years ago before Tony Blair?

00:45:11.900 Also, young people.

00:45:13.160 Young people are flocking to the hard right now.

00:45:17.660 Good grief.

00:45:18.360 That must be terrifying.

00:45:20.200 One poll published on Sunday showed that 32% of 18 to 34-year-olds voted for the national rally, more than double the 2019 European elections.

00:45:29.920 And in Germany, you see a similar thing where young people realize their future is being stolen.

00:45:35.880 It's their future that's going.

00:45:37.940 And women.

00:45:40.220 Women have decided, you know what?

00:45:41.660 That far-right stuff sounds pretty sexy.

00:45:43.700 Like the idea of it.

00:45:44.900 Why don't we have a bit?

00:45:45.740 So in 2019, 25% of men and 21% of women voted for the national rally.

00:45:50.920 And that has gone up significantly.

00:45:53.020 In fact, there's a, I think there's a, is there a graph somewhere down here?

00:46:00.360 No, maybe there's not.

00:46:01.320 What is annoying is that they never ask themselves why women want to vote for Le Pen.

00:46:06.320 Yeah.

00:46:06.920 They don't address the issue with safety.

00:46:09.140 It's for Bordella.

00:46:10.140 That's the main one.

00:46:10.780 No, a lot of it is safety.

00:46:11.820 A lot of it is safety, but also a lot of it is the optics of Bordella on TikTok.

00:46:15.580 And there is a reason he is constantly flocked at all the events by women looking to take selfies.

00:46:20.360 I'm not saying that he doesn't have a large fan base of young women.

00:46:24.020 But when asked, women are like, well, it's becoming less safe in France.

00:46:28.280 Yes, of course.

00:46:28.900 And so that's why they've swung massively here to Le Pen.

00:46:32.640 Yeah, to Le Pen.

00:46:33.340 But there's a difference between stated and revealed preference.

00:46:35.100 And the revealed preference is a vibe.

00:46:36.420 I'm not saying that's not the case, but who knows.

00:46:39.900 Right.

00:46:40.460 So, as you can see, the communist reaction was to be communists about it.

00:46:47.240 So, I mean, my Anglo instincts are like, you know what?

00:46:51.500 I don't think we should just give the police free reign.

00:46:53.380 But then when I see communists rioting, I kind of understand they're French, they're communist, and they're breaking property.

00:47:07.420 It's definitely starting to win me over.

00:47:09.260 That's all I'm saying.

00:47:09.820 And, of course, and my favorite part of all of this is the shit libs are on total suicide watch.

00:47:17.280 The awkward moment when you discover the idyllic bit of rural France where you book the lovely Gitae for this summer is just voted massively for the fascist.

00:47:26.720 It's like, suck it, Gabriel.

00:47:28.500 Suck it.

00:47:31.380 So, yeah.

00:47:32.440 So, all good stuff.

00:47:33.620 Hopefully, Le Pen wins the runoff election confidently.

00:47:38.080 She needs 50% to be able to just outright form a government.

00:47:41.200 Who knows what happens if she doesn't?

00:47:43.300 I guess we'll find out.

00:47:46.340 Right.

00:47:47.540 Now, let's go for a fun segment.

00:47:50.940 So, happy July, everyone.

00:47:53.280 June is over.

00:47:54.400 And what a month it was.

00:47:56.320 It was a rough month.

00:47:58.000 It was very rough for the wokest.

00:48:00.020 Pride went fuba.

00:48:01.480 For those of you who don't know what that is,

00:48:03.220 that means F'd up beyond all recognition or beyond all repair.

00:48:09.300 The wok camp was split.

00:48:11.560 And this was 100% predictable.

00:48:14.740 Now, before we say more about this,

00:48:16.940 you may ask yourself,

00:48:18.620 where are you going to watch the results for the UK general elections in July 4th?

00:48:25.200 Ask yourself no more.

00:48:26.640 So, we have the solution.

00:48:29.360 You can watch it with us at Lotus Seaters.

00:48:31.700 And we're going to have fabulous guests.

00:48:34.400 And obviously, it's going to be us fabulous people.

00:48:36.800 And we're going to share with you the dream of some when it comes to zero seats.

00:48:43.660 Now, you can use the code zero seats

00:48:46.060 and gain 50% off your first three months

00:48:50.240 when you sign up or upgrade to a gold subscription.

00:48:53.420 Now, that is a wonderful offer.

00:48:56.680 Great.

00:48:57.440 Now, let's go to Pride Philadelphia, which had a rough start.

00:49:01.380 2nd of June.

00:49:02.520 Now, you will see here two camps within the Pride camp

00:49:08.240 or the woke camp that were just about to lock horns.

00:49:14.840 Now, what are these two camps?

00:49:17.320 They're going to be the pro-LGBT versus the pro-Palestine.

00:49:22.380 Exactly.

00:49:23.180 Yeah.

00:49:23.600 How did I know?

00:49:24.540 How did you know?

00:49:25.660 And we have been saying this,

00:49:27.060 but apparently, a lot of people in woke governments pretend to not understand

00:49:31.660 because they want to give this and sustain this illusion

00:49:36.960 that somehow the woke community is coherent

00:49:40.780 and it has a number of communities full of people

00:49:45.140 who have a compatible idea of what constitutes respectful coexistence.

00:49:49.980 But this is not the case.

00:49:51.600 We have been saying so.

00:49:52.700 We are warning these wokest governments and they don't listen to us.

00:49:57.220 And they should.

00:49:58.540 Right.

00:49:58.840 Let's have a look here what's going on.

00:50:00.940 You see, they try to have some fun.

00:50:10.080 They try to be proud of themselves

00:50:12.440 and the other people are just the party poopers.

00:50:15.080 The scarves.

00:50:17.340 Yeah.

00:50:18.080 No pride in genocide.

00:50:20.760 You see, you see, this man with the cafe here, he has.

00:50:28.200 He shows some belly button.

00:50:32.420 Have queers for Palestine considered a summit might solve all of this?

00:50:43.520 They seem to be in the sensible nexus of these two groups.

00:50:45.920 I'm sure they can just talk it out.

00:50:47.140 I don't know, but I think that this summit isn't going to be an international one

00:50:51.020 or isn't going to be in Gaza for some reason.

00:50:55.480 This is a quick thing.

00:50:56.200 It's like, what is the plan here?

00:50:58.320 If we can just go back to the second, right?

00:50:59.840 So imagine if everyone stops and goes, you know what, guys, something bad is happening

00:51:04.680 somewhere else in the world.

00:51:06.100 Yeah, we've all got to stop.

00:51:07.420 Let's go to Palestine flags and wave them for the afternoon.

00:51:10.780 It's like, okay, what have you achieved?

00:51:12.560 Well, you've managed to be a massive kill drop, right?

00:51:14.200 I mean, as much as I don't support pride marches, at least I'm having a good time.

00:51:17.520 At least I'm having some fun.

00:51:18.640 You're anticipating one of the points I want to make because I think fundamentally speaking

00:51:23.240 on a psychological level.

00:51:24.900 It's a bunch of rebel kill joys.

00:51:26.600 The left isn't about having fun.

00:51:28.640 It demonizes having fun.

00:51:30.380 So there are some people who are trying to have some fun in whatever way they think.

00:51:34.980 I don't particularly find that a good way to have fun.

00:51:39.680 But here comes the left and shows it's true colors that says it's you can't be happy about

00:51:45.000 anything.

00:51:45.620 Well, I suppose it just shows that the constituent classes that comprise the intersectional voting

00:51:51.200 block just have different first order concerns.

00:51:54.820 So the first order concerns of the Palestinians is basically anti-white racism.

00:51:58.980 And then the first order concern of the pride camp, which are disproportionately white gays,

00:52:05.540 is we want freedom from judgment.

00:52:07.600 And this is what you're seeing is a jockeying as to which tip is of the spear.

00:52:13.000 But the notice that the solemnity of the pro-Palestine thing, that's giving them the moral edge

00:52:21.060 in this competition.

00:52:22.400 They're saying, no, we are for people who are suffering 10,000 miles away and nothing to

00:52:27.860 do with.

00:52:28.600 We are, therefore, the better people than you.

00:52:31.180 This is about saying, no, we're better than you because you are just enjoying yourselves

00:52:34.660 while Israel's killing a bunch of them over there.

00:52:36.700 How could you?

00:52:37.400 You're pro-Israel by that standard.

00:52:38.880 And by their own framework, they're caught in that trap.

00:52:40.700 Exactly.

00:52:41.360 This is basically the Russoian temperament that unless everyone is free, no one is free.

00:52:46.260 And they are saying this, without Palestinian liberation, there's no LGBTQ liberation.

00:52:51.880 They actually said this.

00:52:53.780 They actually said this.

00:52:55.280 And I will show you.

00:52:56.540 Yeah.

00:52:56.640 Yeah.

00:52:56.980 Yeah.

00:52:57.660 Right.

00:52:58.320 So we are going to talk about New York City and Toronto because things happened in a weird

00:53:03.900 way.

00:53:04.860 Here we have Lady Liberty in a bikini.

00:53:07.640 No, it's not the Daily Mail.

00:53:09.820 She has...

00:53:10.900 This is Lady Liberty in a bikini with a salacious expression.

00:53:14.680 Yeah.

00:53:15.740 Hmm.

00:53:16.620 Looking at people.

00:53:18.120 Yeah.

00:53:18.360 And having the, a pride scarf.

00:53:21.840 But that's the old one.

00:53:22.900 That's a weird thing.

00:53:23.980 It's a bit exclusive.

00:53:25.100 Yeah.

00:53:25.240 I'm feeling a bit of whiteness coming out of it, to be honest.

00:53:27.300 It's a bit exclusive.

00:53:29.000 I don't know.

00:53:29.700 Maybe it's going to be psychologically harmful for some people.

00:53:32.780 How did they allow it?

00:53:33.800 But this looks like the kind of Lady Liberty that would be presented at White Boy Summer.

00:53:37.340 Yeah.

00:53:37.520 It's like, send me your masses.

00:53:38.920 It does, right?

00:53:39.380 It looks like a 90s comic.

00:53:40.700 Yeah.

00:53:40.780 Yeah.

00:53:41.600 Rob Liefeld drew the Statue of Liberty.

00:53:43.120 It's not very inclusive.

00:53:44.240 It's people of size.

00:53:45.300 Yeah.

00:53:45.420 And there are engravings underneath saying, send me your masses.

00:53:49.720 And they're going to have pride parades.

00:53:51.700 Yeah.

00:53:51.900 I always did think the Statue of Liberty poem was subversive.

00:53:55.580 So the Empire State Building goes gay and proud.

00:53:59.720 Yep.

00:54:00.340 Yep.

00:54:00.540 Do you remember in Brave New World when they light up the buildings in pink for quite

00:54:06.880 quite reproductive rights?

00:54:08.580 They did the same thing when they passed the abortion abolition term limits ban in New

00:54:14.320 York.

00:54:15.000 So, you know, mimetic energy and all that.

00:54:16.840 So it's an interesting thing to show the difference between appearance and reality.

00:54:20.800 This was the marketing.

00:54:22.240 And after the marketing, we are going to show you what actually happened and how things

00:54:27.100 disintegrated.

00:54:28.000 Can we show these things?

00:54:30.320 They're not like explicit or anything?

00:54:33.000 No, no.

00:54:33.980 I don't.

00:54:34.220 Just checking.

00:54:34.900 I'm just curious.

00:54:35.620 Steli, I'll save those for his personal collection.

00:54:37.620 I mean, I think we're going to be okay.

00:54:40.500 Okay.

00:54:41.020 Okay.

00:54:41.460 I saw some censoring bits.

00:54:43.200 I saw a lot of things where it's so, God, you know.

00:54:45.780 Yeah.

00:54:45.920 While I was preparing the segment, there were many questions I asked some other members

00:54:50.940 of stuff.

00:54:51.500 I tell you what, when I'm in charge, pride festivals will be relegated to the winter.

00:54:55.620 No, are you going to put some bloody clothes on?

00:54:57.320 They'll be relegated to the prison yard.

00:54:59.520 Calm down.

00:55:00.020 I'm not that bad.

00:55:00.820 I am.

00:55:01.100 But no, in the winter, you'll be wearing flags.

00:55:03.780 Let's see here.

00:55:04.520 People, I can, you know, they're celebrating pride.

00:55:07.940 And they say people waved rainbow colored flags and held up posters as they attended

00:55:12.300 the annual pride march in New York.

00:55:14.580 You see them here?

00:55:16.920 I've been wanting to go since I was 12 and it's the big pride event.

00:55:20.520 I needed to be here.

00:55:21.860 What does the meaning of the parade mean to you?

00:55:24.160 The pride parade.

00:55:24.840 Oh, you get to see everyone like kind of out and like the performances and everything about

00:55:29.640 it.

00:55:29.800 It's just so open and inviting.

00:55:31.400 And I think that's my favorite part about the parade.

00:55:33.160 I just think it's an amazing celebration of the diversity of, of this community.

00:55:43.880 And I just think it reinforces what the world really needs now where we just remember that

00:55:48.920 we're one race and we've got one planet and we just need to look after both.

00:55:53.840 What are you talking about?

00:55:57.240 It's a celebration of being gay.

00:55:58.860 Two things.

00:55:59.500 First of all, it's really suspicious that someone is there on a black shirt.

00:56:04.020 This is supposed to be a colorful exposition.

00:56:06.960 This person went there with a black shirt.

00:56:09.280 This is absolutely sus.

00:56:12.060 And one thing that, I mean, it's, that's not fun, but you see the child said, I've been

00:56:17.740 looking to go to these events since 12, which I think is very worrying.

00:56:23.660 Why would a 12 year old child have the need to go to, to events like that?

00:56:30.020 So I, I went up to the British museum on Saturday and didn't realize that London pride is the

00:56:35.720 same day.

00:56:36.880 I had no idea.

00:56:37.880 And there were, unfortunately I learned when I saw a bunch of people that look like they've

00:56:42.280 broken out of Arkham asylum on my train.

00:56:44.180 And there were lots of children there walking around near men with arseless chaps.

00:56:48.260 Lovely.

00:56:48.640 So we have here, Panamami, she sends kisses to her GBs.

00:56:54.720 Those who don't know what this is, you can just basically read.

00:56:57.920 And she also rocks some bimbo nails there.

00:57:02.180 Yeah.

00:57:02.780 Okay.

00:57:03.260 Good for her.

00:57:03.900 Yeah.

00:57:04.200 Okay.

00:57:04.760 And here we see, this is also another worrying thing.

00:57:08.300 Dark Souls box.

00:57:08.940 We see people, someone in a very weird, dark dress dancing with children.

00:57:15.580 Ah, yeah.

00:57:16.160 I think that this is absolutely appalling.

00:57:19.640 And, uh, this seems like a boy that is far less than 12.

00:57:25.420 So.

00:57:26.020 Like that kid looks like a five.

00:57:28.200 Yeah.

00:57:29.180 No, this is not good.

00:57:31.500 So this is worrying and, uh.

00:57:33.640 Deliberately picking the children out of the crowd.

00:57:35.640 Why is that child in a bra?

00:57:37.080 I mean, literally, it does look like a Dark Souls box.

00:57:39.420 What?

00:57:39.720 Yeah.

00:57:41.060 Anyway.

00:57:41.760 So that's not the purpose of the segment.

00:57:44.300 So I'm going to show you now the left in existential crisis.

00:57:48.420 So the main slogan is, without Palestinian liberation, there can be no liberation for the

00:57:56.080 LGBTQ thing.

00:57:59.360 Count.

00:57:59.680 I can definitely see people.

00:58:12.800 Oh, no, no.

00:58:13.380 It's on the track.

00:58:14.680 Yeah.

00:58:16.040 No liberation.

00:58:18.100 No queer liberation.

00:58:19.940 Without Palestinian liberation.

00:58:23.120 So the Palestinians are really clear as well.

00:58:25.300 I'm sure that, uh, basically people are thrilled to have stupid people cheer for them, even though

00:58:33.840 they actually are very much against them.

00:58:37.220 Now, the police came and they arrested them.

00:58:41.300 I think they're going to let them afterwards, but they allowed for the pride thing.

00:58:45.260 And here we have from Olly London says, queers for Palestine activists wearing rainbow hats

00:58:50.900 and LGBT marks block the New York City pride parade as they chant the anti-police message.

00:58:56.400 And for some reason, they had a problem with New York Police Department.

00:59:01.580 And they say New York Police Department, Ku Klux Klan, IDF, they're all the same.

00:59:07.200 Um.

00:59:07.900 Just.

00:59:08.720 I think there might be some slight differences between those groups.

00:59:11.960 Is Clayton Bixby working for all three?

00:59:13.460 I mean, but there's a very interesting question because you're, we know that the woke camp

00:59:20.080 doesn't exactly view the police in a bright light, in bright lights.

00:59:24.440 And they.

00:59:24.720 Just a quick side of the line.

00:59:25.640 I love that they've got to constantly bring up the KKK.

00:59:28.260 It's like, what?

00:59:29.140 Oh, you know, it's like the Nazi party.

00:59:30.720 It's like, well, there's something that died years ago and no one thinks of.

00:59:33.000 No one cares about.

00:59:33.720 The last time anyone heard of them, Joe Biden was giving a eulogy at one of their funerals.

00:59:37.120 Yeah.

00:59:37.200 You've got to exhume the corpse of the KKK to parade it around.

00:59:40.940 It's like, oh yeah.

00:59:41.940 It's a conversation stopper.

00:59:43.460 It just, people are throwing it and it's like with Farage.

00:59:47.220 Just, everyone's just asking me, are you racist?

00:59:50.020 Are you racist?

00:59:50.600 Yeah, but it's like, oh, the KKK is like, what are you talking about?

00:59:53.580 Who are you trying to triangulate on when you say KKK?

00:59:56.780 Jossie Smollett's personal trainers?

00:59:58.120 Exactly.

00:59:59.300 It's like, I don't know who I'm supposed to get angry about when you say the KKK because

01:00:02.800 I don't see anyone in white robes, you know?

01:00:05.540 Yeah.

01:00:05.700 Anyway.

01:00:06.520 I mean, I wouldn't expect to see any Grand Wizard in a pride parade or something.

01:00:11.080 No, but at least I can understand who the NYPD are and who the IDF are.

01:00:14.700 I could point to guys, I could look at their websites.

01:00:16.720 KKK, what are you talking about?

01:00:20.040 In here, this is what happens when you don't have the police and where you're talking about

01:00:27.020 the police.

01:00:27.480 Now, this is basically a video of people harming each other and engaging in fistfights.

01:00:38.480 Stuff we're not allowed to show on YouTube.

01:00:39.600 Stuff we're not allowed to show on YouTube.

01:00:42.160 So there's a reason that you have the police and it's to prevent things like this?

01:00:45.840 Yes.

01:00:46.680 But apparently it's to be understood as the same as the KKK.

01:00:52.560 Wow, that's a strange endorsement of the KKK from the Queers for Palestine group.

01:00:57.880 Well, the KKK notorious for stepping in and stopping black people from getting hurt.

01:01:03.440 You see, but this is exactly what happened there.

01:01:05.760 You had people hurting each other.

01:01:08.720 Only the KKK would turn up to stop this, says the Queers for Palestine group.

01:01:12.640 It's like, you are literally in clown world.

01:01:14.580 Everything you believe is backwards about reality.

01:01:16.640 Yeah.

01:01:17.120 This is a clown's world.

01:01:18.800 Yeah.

01:01:19.020 This is absolutely certain.

01:01:20.440 Anyway, so we have other, you know, videos about the event.

01:01:25.500 So if you want to have a look at the event from different angles in order to see exactly

01:01:30.980 what happened, because you have a lot of people fighting.

01:01:33.980 And I will say this, there is one thing that was absolutely missing.

01:01:38.300 There was a final touch that was missing.

01:01:42.500 And I was watching the video and said, where is it?

01:01:44.440 And that was twerking.

01:01:45.800 Ah.

01:01:46.080 There was no twerking for some reason.

01:01:47.680 This is unacceptable.

01:01:48.840 Too much anarchy and violence.

01:01:50.700 If only the IDF had stepped in there.

01:01:55.020 Like, so IDF, KKK, NYPD, they're all the same thing, apparently.

01:02:00.160 So, just, dear IDF, come and save our people so they can twerk.

01:02:07.040 Signed Lizzo.

01:02:08.200 Yeah.

01:02:09.680 Signed Queers for Palestine.

01:02:10.580 And we are going to show you exactly what happened in Toronto, Canada, because Toronto, Canada

01:02:16.860 saw what happened there and wanted to prevent it.

01:02:20.300 And it's fun because Toronto is supposed to be, and Canada is supposed to be one of the

01:02:24.580 wokest countries.

01:02:26.440 Trudeau is basically competing with other politicians as to who's going to be the wokest of the woke.

01:02:32.700 Oh yeah.

01:02:32.960 And he's winning.

01:02:33.420 And I think he is winning.

01:02:35.740 He's definitely winning.

01:02:36.660 He's definitely winning.

01:02:37.760 But woke spaces, woke Canadian spaces aren't safe spaces anymore.

01:02:44.280 And we will see how things change.

01:02:46.600 Because I predict now that the woke camp is going to circulate those videos that conservatives

01:02:52.620 do when they're saying, you know, 1950, 2024, look what they got, took away from you.

01:02:58.420 Maybe they can get the NYPD to come over and help.

01:03:01.420 Yes.

01:03:02.260 They're going to have a video 2023, 2024.

01:03:06.740 Look what they got away from you.

01:03:08.340 Those pro-Palestine protesters.

01:03:11.560 Woke Canadian spaces aren't safe spaces anymore, as I will show you.

01:03:16.000 Now, here we have Diane Sachs from Toronto City Council Ward 11 UR.

01:03:20.840 She says, in the Toronto I grew up, in a celebration of pride, this magnitude was unthinkable.

01:03:27.540 Today, I could not be happier to join my council colleagues to march in pride, and could not

01:03:32.820 be prouder that the route passed her through Ward 11.

01:03:35.680 So, she is saying how good it is for pride, and she can't remember it being that good when

01:03:43.540 she was young.

01:03:44.640 So, 2023 was the pick of Canadian celebration when it comes to wokeness.

01:03:51.340 But this is 2024.

01:03:54.020 Things change.

01:03:54.720 We have here, Justin Trudeau, happy pride, Toronto.

01:03:58.760 Seeing so many people out in the village openly celebrating love and freedom is a testament

01:04:03.920 to how far we have come as a country and its motivation.

01:04:08.180 Sorry, Justin, I love the, this is such great framing.

01:04:11.240 So, who are our opponents?

01:04:12.240 Well, people who hate love and hate freedom.

01:04:14.340 Yeah.

01:04:14.660 Simple as.

01:04:15.560 That simple.

01:04:16.360 Meanwhile, there goes your bank account.

01:04:17.800 Yeah.

01:04:18.160 Yeah.

01:04:18.760 Don't you dare protest our love and freedom.

01:04:20.640 And you see that wokeists have a really bad understanding of society, even when it comes

01:04:27.280 to the woke camp.

01:04:28.720 This is post, this was posted on June, in June the 30th.

01:04:34.460 But today's July the 1st.

01:04:36.600 And you will see what they posted.

01:04:39.520 Trudeau says, feel this proud.

01:04:41.160 We need to keep fighting so that every single person can feel this proud and this free to

01:04:48.480 be who they are.

01:04:49.300 Oh, but what if who they are is an actual Nazi?

01:04:53.480 Are you going to have, I hate these sort of statements because that's actually an open

01:04:56.960 invitation to Nazi pride events in Toronto.

01:04:59.400 Yeah, it is.

01:04:59.920 It's so abstract.

01:05:01.100 It literally means whoever you are.

01:05:03.620 Pedophile pride events.

01:05:05.120 Yeah.

01:05:05.340 Whoever you are.

01:05:06.120 That's what he's inviting with.

01:05:07.680 I prefer not to speak.

01:05:08.540 If I speak, I'm in big trouble.

01:05:09.480 Big trouble.

01:05:09.760 So, Connor, maybe you should hold it.

01:05:12.960 Yes.

01:05:13.580 I don't want to see you in trouble.

01:05:15.180 Yes.

01:05:15.880 Right.

01:05:16.380 We have here Pride Toronto, July 1st.

01:05:20.840 Resistance is justified when people are occupied.

01:05:25.060 That's the beginning.

01:05:26.820 Protesters shut down Toronto Pride parade.

01:05:30.400 On one hand, based.

01:05:32.020 On the other hand...

01:05:33.580 Four cringe reasons.

01:05:35.000 We have here a lot of wokeists.

01:05:36.740 I advise we don't play this.

01:05:37.860 I think we can just get the impression from the thumbnail.

01:05:43.140 No, but what you don't see from here is that there's a lady here.

01:05:46.620 I don't know where you're looking at, but there's a lady here who is basically saying

01:05:51.260 that there has to be Palestinian liberation.

01:05:55.000 And without queer liberation, there can be zero LGBTQ liberation.

01:05:58.340 And basically, you have the least fit people on the LGBTQ Pride events passing through as if...

01:06:06.400 Status jostling.

01:06:07.380 Status jostling.

01:06:08.700 We're the least attractive naked Pride attendants.

01:06:13.840 And therefore, we have to gain status by claiming we're for Palestine while you're doing divorce.

01:06:19.380 Yeah, but basically, I had that link because I wanted to show what this lady is talking about.

01:06:24.320 Yeah.

01:06:24.920 Yeah.

01:06:25.360 Anyway.

01:06:26.120 Sorry.

01:06:26.760 Important notice from Pride Toronto, 6.15pm, Sunday, June the 30th, 2024.

01:06:34.220 The remainder of the parade's been cancelled.

01:06:36.220 The Killjoys won.

01:06:37.640 It turns out you're not free to be who you are.

01:06:39.320 It's not a safe space.

01:06:43.580 We have been telling you.

01:06:45.000 It's not safe.

01:06:46.480 Wokeness makes no sense.

01:06:48.300 This is so good.

01:06:49.620 Like, they literally ruined their own fun.

01:06:52.360 Like, they literally ruined their own fun.

01:06:53.880 Here's the great pride parade we have every year, and it's brilliant.

01:06:56.300 It's, yeah, it's cancelled.

01:06:57.800 Why?

01:06:58.060 Because some of us are real Killjoys.

01:07:00.300 Because the race communist part of the gay race communist rubric weren't respecting the gay communist part.

01:07:06.220 Yeah.

01:07:06.560 Womp womp.

01:07:07.200 But I think that this is an important point, though, because a lot of people look at this point and they think that it is low resolution, but I think it is actively really important.

01:07:18.600 I think that fundamentally, the leftist temperament is against having fun.

01:07:23.340 Oh, yeah, 100%.

01:07:24.140 It's all about just finding something to guilt shame you and make you feel guilty.

01:07:29.040 It's not about having fun.

01:07:31.400 So we have been telling you.

01:07:33.120 But the thing is, well, this goes deeper to the heart of, like, the question of equality.

01:07:37.320 Right.

01:07:37.840 The least attractive people in the pride parade, like, look, we are not feeling equal to those attractive, happy people who are going out having fun.

01:07:45.280 And so we're going to literally come out and ruin your fun.

01:07:47.980 So we feel equal to you.

01:07:50.000 And they actually managed to do it.

01:07:51.620 Yeah.

01:07:51.900 You're so ugly, you can't get laid at a pride parade.

01:07:54.220 So you throw your lot in with the Islamists.

01:07:56.680 Yeah.

01:07:57.020 It's great.

01:07:58.260 You know, but only out of spite to ruin their fun.

01:08:01.480 You know, that's the thing.

01:08:02.900 And here is the statement, the post from Pride Toronto.

01:08:06.900 You will see that I didn't make things out of my mind.

01:08:10.800 They say, today we made the decision to cancel the remainder of the pride parade out of our commitment to ensuring public safety.

01:08:19.420 Pride parades sound pretty risky.

01:08:20.800 Maybe we should think about having them restricted in some way.

01:08:23.360 While we deeply respect and uphold everyone's right to peacefully protest, our foremost priority is the well-being of all participants and spectators.

01:08:33.140 That's dangerous.

01:08:33.520 Which is an admission that things are dangerous.

01:08:37.160 Yeah.

01:08:37.300 And it is an admission that actually what we have been saying about wokeness is absolutely correct.

01:08:44.580 Wokeness is a camp of people who are vastly different and are members of groups that have radically different views of what constitutes peaceful coexistence.

01:08:58.080 And the whole thing is instrumentalized by politicians who are playing divide and conquer.

01:09:05.240 Hang on, are you saying the guys that say be gay, do crimes, aren't interested in peaceful coexistence?

01:09:10.200 Sorry, hang on.

01:09:11.380 Yeah.

01:09:11.540 Did the KKK ever have to cancel a rally because it was too dangerous?

01:09:16.660 Just curious.

01:09:17.620 Just a question.

01:09:18.260 I don't know.

01:09:20.280 They couldn't agree on the venue with the IDF, I'm afraid.

01:09:23.680 Was the New York PD not available?

01:09:25.900 It was stupid.

01:09:27.220 I know, it's all ridiculous.

01:09:28.200 I don't know either, but you see here that we have the wokest of the woke Canadians saying basically that wokeness has disintegrated into it being a problem to public safety.

01:09:42.240 I do love that they're ruining their own fun, though.

01:09:44.800 It's their own thing.

01:09:45.840 Okay, you got to do it, and now they're ruining it.

01:09:47.500 It's amazing.

01:09:48.620 Some people can't have fun.

01:09:50.000 Yeah, 100%.

01:09:51.200 Should we go to the video comments?

01:09:54.240 Excellent.

01:09:55.000 Video comments, please, Samson.

01:09:55.900 To all the ladies in the audience, is this a sorority you would have ever considered joining?

01:10:21.620 Can you stop this, please?

01:10:23.780 It's really annoying.

01:10:24.700 I don't know what they're saying.

01:10:25.500 Can we send things that we actually have context for, please?

01:10:28.780 We'd rather interact with you and answer questions rather than just have random videos played.

01:10:31.980 Just a polite request.

01:10:32.840 Well, I mean, it's fine.

01:10:34.460 Some text at the bottom explaining what it was they were saying might have been useful.

01:10:39.220 Sure, but obviously, we like interacting with you guys, and we'd appreciate if we could do that.

01:10:44.000 We don't know what this is.

01:10:45.460 So, next one, please.

01:10:46.480 As Russian Garbage Human very kindly shared Skippity Biden with us last week, I'd like to share Annoying Orange with you all.

01:10:57.280 Things that no one tells you.

01:11:06.820 I've been on the antidepressant medication for three months now.

01:11:10.500 So, as it turns out, coffee enhances the numbing effect of antidepressant, so without the antidepressant, all you have now is crippling anxiety and jitters.

01:11:20.640 So, you try to get rid of the coffee.

01:11:22.600 That was brutal.

01:11:27.100 Headaches.

01:11:27.940 You think the world is going to end?

01:11:29.800 I'm going to die old and alone and ugly.

01:11:33.280 Oh, my God.

01:11:35.740 Try to get a coffee.

01:11:39.340 What is going on with the video comments today?

01:11:43.280 I don't know.

01:11:44.340 I have no idea.

01:11:46.660 Bear in mind, we love talking to you guys.

01:11:50.040 Editorial discretion will be exercised if they're too esoteric.

01:11:53.380 I want to tell to Sophie that I'm trying to get off instant coffee because I was drinking massive, massive amounts of instant coffee and I was shaking and I couldn't understand why because I wasn't on speed or something.

01:12:06.420 But I tell you what, breaking any of these sort of like daily addictions is difficult.

01:12:11.140 Yeah.

01:12:13.100 On to the next one.

01:12:13.980 I try and bring this podcast up market.

01:12:16.100 Let me preface this by saying I have major daddy issues.

01:12:21.100 I think my family enjoy torturing me with bad books at Christmas.

01:12:25.600 I had not heard of these two, nor their podcast on Modern Etiquette.

01:12:29.780 William Hansen is an expert and has worked for royalty.

01:12:33.080 However, one thing I find utterly detestable about certain homosexual men is their cattiness.

01:12:39.060 William's recurring advice is that it's nice to be nice, usually issued in close proximity with him being disdainful or insulting about someone's taste with which he disagrees.

01:12:48.240 And this is in the very sort of sphere of, I can't take anything serious, mock the weak, rest is politics, everything's done with a...

01:12:58.680 Only 2000's Blair consensus.

01:12:59.720 Yeah.

01:13:00.120 We're at the end of history now, so nothing matters.

01:13:02.000 Yeah, it's just insufferable.

01:13:04.320 On to the next one.

01:13:05.220 One thing that always strikes me about Sunak and the rest of the political class today is how they are theoretically more credentialed and highly educated than any of the past political classes in the last few centuries, yet they seem exceptionally more incompetent in comparison.

01:13:22.260 I mean, if you were to compare him to, like, you know, old Victorian politicians, he's way more inferior and useless.

01:13:29.240 I mean, yeah, I know Victorians had their own form of educational systems, but, like, they did not require the same level of credentials that we have now.

01:13:37.260 It was because the curriculum upon which the credentials are sought are far less rigorous and interesting, both in means of testing and in content than the Victorians were subjected to.

01:13:50.260 And because in their hearts and minds they don't feel an affinity or connection to the place they're actually governing over.

01:13:55.660 So they're kind of indifferent whether or not they screw up, as long as it advances themselves, as long as, like, these people think in terms of LinkedIn pages, they don't think in terms of what will people down the pub say of me if I screw up a policy this week.

01:14:07.840 And that's the major difference.

01:14:09.660 No, I totally agree.

01:14:10.380 They have very technocratic education and also we should factor in how, you know, ecophobic education is in the last decades.

01:14:18.720 So, Russian Garbage Human says, big care package for all night stream full of biscuits sent.

01:14:24.980 We'll arrive tomorrow.

01:14:25.800 Please send someone to check PO Box on Wednesday.

01:14:27.760 Thank you very much.

01:14:28.900 Russian, I'm back on my diet hardcore.

01:14:31.660 I'm going to be eating lots of beef jerky.

01:14:33.060 To me.

01:14:33.460 And coffee.

01:14:34.500 Here's a bunch of biscuits.

01:14:35.680 Good luck.

01:14:36.520 Thanks, Russian.

01:14:38.680 Caroline says, my son is looking forward to his first ever vote going towards the decimation of the Tories.

01:14:42.840 My daughter will turn 18 in four years and hopefully her first vote will go towards doing the same thing.

01:14:50.280 Yeah.

01:14:51.180 No, that's great.

01:14:51.980 That's fantastic.

01:14:53.120 Like, again, we just have to break this two-party stranglehold.

01:14:56.480 Like, you don't have to vote Labour because you're not happy with the Tories.

01:14:59.000 It's just the way it is.

01:15:00.760 Barron says, so you shouldn't vote for a party because one member made racist remarks and that's why you should vote for a party with hundreds of members who covered up grooming gangs and letting terrorists.

01:15:09.020 It's a madhouse, a madhouse.

01:15:10.460 Well, that's the thing, right?

01:15:11.100 I mean, you know, Nigel Farah has just got, like, secret racists on his campaign.

01:15:15.140 The Labour Party is totally up and they're the candidates that are racist.

01:15:18.420 Yeah, Nigel Shaw was still on the front bench after retweeting a No One Jones parody account that said grooming gang victims just shut their mouths for the sake of diversity.

01:15:25.340 The guy running in Clankton is literally running on the race war ticket.

01:15:29.960 Every black and brown person against the whites, I guess.

01:15:33.140 Do you know that Keir Starmer...

01:15:33.540 Because it's against the whites.

01:15:34.880 He's seconded him somewhere else.

01:15:36.300 He's banished him from the constituency.

01:15:37.640 Yeah, because, you know, like, he's obviously going to lose.

01:15:41.400 But it's like, why would you choose that guy?

01:15:43.300 You know, why would you choose the last guy that looks like Lee Anderson in the Labour Party?

01:15:48.340 You'd send him.

01:15:49.260 Yes.

01:15:49.780 You know, it's just so...

01:15:51.020 It's...

01:15:51.540 I don't know.

01:15:52.160 I don't know.

01:15:52.960 The Engaged View sends a super chat saying,

01:15:55.260 Andrew Tate is what happens when a pregnant rabbit pisses into a jar of protein powder.

01:16:00.020 I don't get that, Drew.

01:16:00.900 I don't get that.

01:16:01.580 And Threadnought says something very unfulfilled about Andrew Tate as well.

01:16:05.920 I don't know what this is in reference to.

01:16:08.660 No.

01:16:09.220 So Lance says, as a once great man says,

01:16:12.180 get bent, you dirty, dirty smear merchants.

01:16:15.240 Thomas Howell says, we took a rambling, a random sampling of the BBC lobby.

01:16:19.000 That's probably what it is.

01:16:22.600 Like, there's probably a cafe next to the BBC headquarters they went down to.

01:16:25.800 It's like, need someone to go against Farage.

01:16:28.200 Arizona Desert Rat says,

01:16:29.460 I find it sad and amusing that these people can't see why young men are turning to Andrew Tate for information and advice.

01:16:34.840 He's one of the few voices that doesn't spend his entire time berating young men.

01:16:38.300 Maybe if these people spent more time encouraging and strengthening young men instead of tearing them down,

01:16:42.140 they wouldn't be turning to someone with Tate.

01:16:43.680 So, yeah.

01:16:44.480 I mean, we get it.

01:16:45.760 Nigel Farage gets it.

01:16:47.040 They are not allowed to get it.

01:16:49.060 Well, that's why young men like Farage, as soon as they've encountered him on TikTok.

01:16:51.620 100%, yeah.

01:16:53.120 Barron, again, says, if Nigel Lover wins, the first thing he should do is repeal the tele-tax cut to cut the BBC off from the taxpayers' dollars.

01:17:00.500 Well, he did say he was going to do that.

01:17:01.740 He's promised to abolish the license fee.

01:17:02.900 Yeah.

01:17:03.120 It's just, obviously, he can't do that.

01:17:04.700 Why, as an MP, it would take five years.

01:17:06.420 Yeah.

01:17:07.200 Ewan says, I wouldn't be surprised if Senate himself paid for the C4 expose.

01:17:11.180 We can't.

01:17:11.960 One, you're not allowed to allege that.

01:17:13.640 Two, I don't think that's true at all.

01:17:15.460 Yeah, I think they probably are trying to bribe off reform candidates.

01:17:19.140 But I don't think they would have done it.

01:17:20.060 Would Channel 4 have too much contempt for the Tory brand as is?

01:17:22.840 Yeah, Channel 4 would be full labour.

01:17:24.260 I don't think Channel 4 themselves knew this was a thing.

01:17:27.100 I mean, if, and this is reform speculation here, we're just reporting on it, if it's true that the production company knew Parker was an actor and Parker is exaggerating his accent and saying racist things to make reform look bad and try and goad their candidates unsuccessfully into saying bad things,

01:17:41.480 I think the production company would not have disclosed that to Channel 4 when they sold it to them.

01:17:45.440 It's entirely possible that Channel 4 is just looking for the meat.

01:17:50.320 Yeah.

01:17:50.520 And so they're presenting it and saying, hey, don't you want this?

01:17:52.540 And Channel 4 are like, yeah, of course we want this.

01:17:54.320 Without, I mean, it's entirely possible.

01:17:56.060 I mean, I'm not saying it couldn't have been the other way, but that is more likely.

01:17:58.720 They seem to have jumped on it without vetting, which is why Parker didn't even take his own TikTok and his various accounts down.

01:18:04.880 Why is he using his real name?

01:18:05.700 These people are so thick.

01:18:06.960 So it's crazy.

01:18:07.780 Thanks for contextualising, because when I heard C4, I thought of the explosive for some reason.

01:18:12.980 Channel 4 is not nearly that interesting.

01:18:15.160 Angus says, a bit rich of the mails, criticized Farage about foreign policy when that people was in favour of the black shirts and the Austrian painter back in the day.

01:18:21.940 Were they not in favour of the Iraq war as well?

01:18:25.140 I would have to check that, but they were definitely in favour of the Nazis.

01:18:27.860 Because most of the establishment wars, the only people that weren't in favour of the Iraq war was obviously Peter Hitchens, who now writes for the mail, and it turns out, Nigel Farage.

01:18:33.020 What's weird is that the Daily Mail has literally been on the evil side of every issue.

01:18:36.540 No, I'm not even joking.

01:18:38.440 Like, choose an issue, and the Daily Mail is on the evil side of it.

01:18:41.060 It's really weird.

01:18:43.340 Well, like Lizzo twerking on the beach in a bikini.

01:18:46.440 It's like, what are you...

01:18:47.160 They've occasionally had some good reporting and some good reporters.

01:18:49.680 I'm not saying they're a big publication.

01:18:51.800 They've been in existence for a long time.

01:18:53.860 But on every major issue, they've just fallen on the side of evil.

01:18:56.400 It's okay, interesting.

01:18:57.820 North FC Zuma says,

01:18:59.600 I honestly hope Farage is just used to get our foot in the door so we can improve on him later on down the line.

01:19:03.920 Yeah, that's what I'm hoping.

01:19:05.400 His plans are a decent start, but won't do anything to cut down the number of Turkish barbers or fried chicken shops run by people who are here legally,

01:19:11.840 and won't fix the ethnic ghettos up here in Bradford, Blackburn, etc.

01:19:15.720 Feels very much a stem-the-tide kind of plan, not fix the damage.

01:19:19.280 Yeah, but the way I look at it is tip of the spear to break the two-party consensus.

01:19:22.640 If Farage can just crush the Conservatives, drive them out of politics, then the vacuum opens.

01:19:30.520 If Conor goes to the gym anymore, we'll have to call him Harry Spotter, says,

01:19:33.920 The left gets more extreme, the right gets more extreme, the left shock Pikachu.

01:19:39.320 Thanks, I suppose.

01:19:40.120 Jimmy Mack says,

01:19:41.840 They are terrified of reform smear campaigns, will not be the extent of the attacks, things will get more violent.

01:19:45.840 Well, the fact that they're wheeling out their entire array of dirty tricks,

01:19:50.820 bribing the candidates, just goes to show how scared they are.

01:19:53.220 Well, the attacks have already been violent.

01:19:54.940 Yeah, that's true.

01:19:55.760 They just haven't escalated to a lethal threat yet.

01:19:58.160 Yeah, but it's the dirty, underhanded bribing of the candidates, I think, is most disgusting.

01:20:05.420 Yeah, but that's how the Tories will do it.

01:20:07.700 The sort of momentum types, who have no qualms about street violence, they'll, yeah,

01:20:11.500 but the Tories, I don't think they're even old enough to do that, frankly.

01:20:15.140 Malicious compliance says,

01:20:16.740 Question, the accusations of racism seem to translate as nothing so much as to say,

01:20:21.180 I have no counter argument.

01:20:22.540 Yep, that's correct.

01:20:24.040 You're not wide of the mark here.

01:20:25.460 That's completely correct.

01:20:26.400 It's literally just, I don't like that.

01:20:28.420 And that area of politics has been walled off,

01:20:31.260 and you're not allowed to enter into that area of politics,

01:20:33.380 because I lose on that ground.

01:20:36.280 George Happ says,

01:20:37.280 It's inevitable.

01:20:38.000 They need the hopium, even at the price of their dignity.

01:20:40.460 I will not vote for the clowns who kicked out Bo and Dan.

01:20:43.260 I get the strategy of maybe we'll have a better right-wing party in five years,

01:20:46.040 but then why not vote for one of the other options now,

01:20:48.260 rather than waste your vote on a perpetual traitor that is Farage?

01:20:50.760 I have a long answer, but I'll condense it down.

01:20:53.880 Because, again, as you said, Farage is the tip of the spear,

01:20:56.400 and he is himself looking to hand off to someone after 2029,

01:20:59.620 and that someone could well be our guy.

01:21:02.040 They're candidates.

01:21:03.060 They're people that work in our offices.

01:21:04.640 My friends work for them, and I know they're solid.

01:21:07.040 Again, the party is not just one man.

01:21:08.900 It is an entity, and it's not a homogenous entity,

01:21:10.960 but there is infighting,

01:21:11.840 and we have a better path to power there than we do anywhere else.

01:21:15.220 And all the other parties are a joke.

01:21:16.700 They're absolutely a joke.

01:21:18.300 Some of them might have people with good hearts in there,

01:21:21.300 but they do not have a right nor mandate to rule,

01:21:24.080 and they're not well read enough,

01:21:25.140 and if they got in power, they would not be able to grapple with it.

01:21:27.820 So, again, I have my misgivings with reform.

01:21:31.540 Until Farage stepped in, I was not going to vote at all.

01:21:34.180 I would still endorse voting them as a protest vote, at the very least.

01:21:37.400 Yeah, I endorse voting them.

01:21:39.140 Even though they trashed two of my guys,

01:21:41.200 I still am going to vote for them.

01:21:42.580 They're going to vote for them.

01:21:43.360 Yeah, they're going to vote for them,

01:21:44.140 just to do as much damage as possible to the conservatives

01:21:46.480 and the two-party consensus.

01:21:48.340 That's the only way I'm looking at it.

01:21:50.200 Samar House says,

01:21:51.240 I'm proud to report that I've just received my student visa.

01:21:53.560 I'm sad to report I did not get it in time to register to vote reform.

01:21:56.440 I promise to assimilate for the year that I am here

01:21:58.720 and will try not to be the annoying American.

01:22:00.940 That's okay.

01:22:01.740 We forgive you.

01:22:03.040 Warlord Wutu Tai says,

01:22:04.600 Bile, Invective, and White Noise has historically been

01:22:07.080 the Daily Mail stock in trade, hasn't it?

01:22:08.940 Yeah, I know.

01:22:09.640 It's so weird.

01:22:10.500 It's like, the Daily Mail, like,

01:22:12.120 well, he's going to be very, very racist

01:22:14.140 and divisive to the discourse.

01:22:15.740 It's like, you are the Daily Mail.

01:22:18.760 Have some shit now.

01:22:19.740 I was going to say, have some shame.

01:22:20.600 How could you have some shame?

01:22:21.520 You're the Daily Mail.

01:22:23.020 Like, there's preposterous statements from the Mail, frankly.

01:22:26.520 Just genuinely, it's like, what?

01:22:28.680 You don't have a high horse to get onto

01:22:30.840 to try and talk down to someone else.

01:22:33.420 You are the Daily Mail.

01:22:35.140 Your name is the watchword for scum-smear journalism.

01:22:40.460 Like, that's what people say,

01:22:41.260 oh, this is Daily Mail-grade journalism.

01:22:42.940 Like, unbelievable.

01:22:44.720 Neon Realist sends a super chat saying,

01:22:46.580 if Le Pen wins the French election,

01:22:47.980 can we get a video of the Lodice boy singing the Marseille?

01:22:51.180 No.

01:22:53.380 Don't know the lyrics, frankly.

01:22:55.720 I like the meme of the Giga Chad sitting at the computer

01:22:57.840 saying, me on Duolingo learning French

01:22:59.960 to avoid speaking it more effectively.

01:23:01.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:23:02.880 Roman Observer says,

01:23:03.900 the tolerant left is devastating Paris,

01:23:05.720 protesting against the success of the far right.

01:23:08.100 Macron's centrist party will probably ally itself

01:23:09.900 with the left to save democracy from voters.

01:23:12.680 That's a great point.

01:23:13.540 Macron's going to side with the left-wingers

01:23:15.800 who are currently, frankly,

01:23:17.960 trashing Paris every other weekend.

01:23:19.960 Well, he didn't exactly crack down very much

01:23:21.580 on the migrant riots from last year, either, did he?

01:23:23.260 No, not at all.

01:23:24.080 Weird, that, isn't it?

01:23:25.060 But the decent, law-abiding, voting public of France

01:23:28.600 are evil and far-right.

01:23:30.880 Joe Bloch says,

01:23:31.980 what's happening in France is good news,

01:23:33.620 is a blueprint for reform to follow here.

01:23:35.480 Well, it's being paralleled, precisely, I would say.

01:23:39.400 Unfortunately, Farage...

01:23:40.280 Farage.

01:23:41.540 Well, Farage's problem is Le Pen has been doing this

01:23:43.500 for a long time now.

01:23:44.800 Well, he also disavowed Le Pen yesterday.

01:23:46.700 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:47.100 On purely Thatcherite economic ground,

01:23:49.520 which is just petty.

01:23:50.660 Yeah, really short-sighted.

01:23:51.980 Very, very boomer Reagan-Thatcher paradigm,

01:23:55.900 which is not placable for this set of conditions.

01:23:57.800 And Le Pen disavowed the AFD

01:23:59.480 because they would have sent some of the migrants home

01:24:01.100 and said, what the hell is happening?

01:24:02.680 How are you all cucking this quickly?

01:24:04.940 You haven't even gotten to power yet.

01:24:06.080 You're already cucking.

01:24:07.020 Like, God.

01:24:08.300 But, um...

01:24:09.520 It's insufferable.

01:24:11.280 What was I saying?

01:24:12.040 Yeah, no.

01:24:12.760 The problem is Le Pen has been doing this

01:24:14.340 for like 25 years or whatever.

01:24:15.480 But Farage was campaigning to leave the EU.

01:24:17.520 He's now just getting into proper Westminster politics.

01:24:20.420 He'll probably do quite well,

01:24:21.340 but he's got a significant lag behind the French on this.

01:24:25.080 Bleach Demon says,

01:24:26.040 Viva Le Pen!

01:24:26.760 National rally doing the right thing

01:24:27.940 with incremental pressure

01:24:28.880 as it will normalise policies

01:24:29.940 that are hostile to invaders.

01:24:31.700 Someone online says,

01:24:32.740 French women don't want to be raped by invaders.

01:24:34.660 Shocking!

01:24:35.980 Charles says,

01:24:36.780 Thank God for Le Pen.

01:24:37.780 She'll secure the border even if Starmer won't.

01:24:39.840 Well...

01:24:40.280 No, what will happen is...

01:24:41.480 I think, yeah...

01:24:42.180 She'll create pressure for them to jump ship towards us.

01:24:44.240 Yeah.

01:24:44.440 And Starmer's already said

01:24:45.380 he's going to do basically a mass amnesty.

01:24:47.660 Yeah.

01:24:48.080 So, we're screwed.

01:24:49.340 Yeah, I'm not very optimistic on that, actually.

01:24:52.460 If it was Zemmour, then yes.

01:24:54.920 You know, we could be a lot more optimistic

01:24:56.240 because Zemmour seems to quite like England.

01:24:58.740 Yes.

01:24:59.020 And the English.

01:24:59.920 Refuses to learn English,

01:25:00.820 but he's...

01:25:01.300 Yeah, but that's kind of based.

01:25:02.420 Yeah, exactly.

01:25:02.780 I agree.

01:25:03.000 The exact quote he gave to you

01:25:04.260 when we were trotting through Whitechapel

01:25:05.580 is he said that

01:25:06.460 they call England and France the old enemies,

01:25:09.360 but at times like this,

01:25:10.340 the old enemies must become old friends.

01:25:11.560 Yeah, and the thing is,

01:25:12.620 if England nor France cease to exist,

01:25:14.640 then we can't be old enemies.

01:25:16.120 So, there's a kind of confirmation in it

01:25:19.460 that reaffirms the position of each side.

01:25:22.380 And so now, actually, you know,

01:25:23.620 I'm pro-France,

01:25:24.880 as much as it pays me to say that.

01:25:28.500 Kevin says,

01:25:29.180 The media are barely reporting

01:25:30.300 about the Antifa Muslim communist crowd

01:25:31.780 rioting in Paris.

01:25:32.940 When they do report on it,

01:25:33.820 they claim hundreds of thousands involved.

01:25:37.380 So, if your politicians are losing,

01:25:39.140 the way to fix it is arson, graffiti, and looting,

01:25:41.140 not getting off your arson voting.

01:25:42.580 But that's the left of Muslim for you.

01:25:44.080 Don't do something to prevent it.

01:25:45.280 Just go and get a 55-inch plasma TV

01:25:46.980 and a pair of Nikes.

01:25:48.540 Good point.

01:25:49.420 Sean sends a super chat saying,

01:25:50.660 On a different point,

01:25:51.280 I encourage all Republicans on social media

01:25:52.880 to send encouragement and support to Biden.

01:25:54.560 Stay in the race and fight to the end.

01:25:56.180 Just a little payback for the Dems' Hillary BS

01:25:59.700 in the primaries.

01:26:00.560 Yeah, I know.

01:26:01.080 I mean, I don't want Joe Biden to drop out

01:26:03.060 because he's a great candidate.

01:26:06.080 That's super president.

01:26:08.940 OPHUK says,

01:26:09.960 Mike's my main grunt with the left there.

01:26:11.320 So effing boring.

01:26:12.680 No sense of humor at all.

01:26:14.320 Yeah, but that's only because

01:26:15.780 they got where they are now

01:26:17.480 through not having a sense of humor.

01:26:19.560 Why would they change the habit of a lifetime?

01:26:22.680 AK says,

01:26:23.520 The irony is the pro-Palestine LGBT people

01:26:25.400 that are saying no pride in genocide

01:26:26.520 when in reality,

01:26:27.980 if they were in Palestine,

01:26:29.600 they would all be put to death.

01:26:31.420 Yeah, but they'd be like,

01:26:32.040 well, you can't be proud of that.

01:26:32.980 And the Palestinians would be like,

01:26:33.920 whew.

01:26:34.660 And the guy with the kefir

01:26:36.820 had his belly buttoned out.

01:26:39.680 I saw a post by some Muslims

01:26:41.780 the other day on Twitter

01:26:42.800 being like,

01:26:43.540 how are we allied with these people?

01:26:45.120 They're disgusting.

01:26:45.980 What is this?

01:26:46.780 Ugh.

01:26:47.220 Brother, ugh.

01:26:47.960 It was literally like that.

01:26:50.460 It's like, you know,

01:26:50.980 we don't want them supporting us.

01:26:52.640 Why are they the people speaking up for us?

01:26:54.620 It's like, well,

01:26:56.180 you judge a man by the company he keeps.

01:27:01.460 Someone online points out

01:27:02.640 fetish gear enthusiast

01:27:03.780 versus terrorist enthusiast.

01:27:05.560 Yeah, weird that there's such

01:27:06.620 a Venn diagram overlap there.

01:27:08.980 Kevin says,

01:27:09.840 Trudeau,

01:27:10.340 it's a testament to how far we've come.

01:27:12.040 Reads,

01:27:12.480 it's a testament to how far we've fallen.

01:27:14.500 Yeah, it really does.

01:27:16.260 Arizona doesn't rat say,

01:27:17.320 will conservatives be welcome

01:27:18.440 to your pride parade?

01:27:19.220 Knowing you shouldn't want to be there.

01:27:20.480 Yeah, exactly.

01:27:21.020 Well, that's the thing.

01:27:22.080 There are going to be conservatives

01:27:23.040 who do go to them.

01:27:24.780 It's insufferable.

01:27:26.060 Yes, they're in the Conservative Party.

01:27:27.420 Yes.

01:27:27.900 Running it.

01:27:29.400 Bleach Demon says,

01:27:30.900 June is now and forever

01:27:31.820 hocked her girl month.

01:27:33.360 No, don't buy into that

01:27:34.900 downwardly mobile,

01:27:36.380 weird,

01:27:36.960 sexualized normie meme, please.

01:27:38.400 But it's just,

01:27:39.540 like,

01:27:39.940 it's really not that exciting

01:27:41.280 a meme either.

01:27:42.080 It's not funny.

01:27:42.940 It's kind of gross.

01:27:44.320 Yeah.

01:27:45.240 Stop.

01:27:45.980 Like, I just,

01:27:47.340 I was,

01:27:47.820 I just,

01:27:48.240 I'm sick of seeing her

01:27:49.560 on my timeline.

01:27:50.660 She's just not that interesting.

01:27:52.900 Jordi Salzman says,

01:27:53.780 Stelios is presenting

01:27:54.620 a final solution

01:27:55.460 to the election coverage question.

01:27:57.520 Well, kind of.

01:27:58.400 You don't need to go anywhere else.

01:27:59.420 We'll have everything you need.

01:28:00.960 Bleach Demon says,

01:28:01.980 never forget the KKK

01:28:03.000 was the original

01:28:03.540 Democrat Pride Parade.

01:28:05.620 That's a good point,

01:28:06.620 actually.

01:28:08.680 Actually true.

01:28:09.540 It's quite amusing.

01:28:16.160 I really want to,

01:28:17.240 we should look up,

01:28:18.020 like,

01:28:18.160 what were the Democrats'

01:28:19.100 opinion on the formation

01:28:19.900 of Israel?

01:28:21.440 Were they pro or against

01:28:22.620 back in the day?

01:28:23.680 Because I bet they were

01:28:24.120 very pro back in the day.

01:28:26.060 Like,

01:28:26.260 1948 or something.

01:28:29.000 Drake says,

01:28:29.880 amazing celebration

01:28:30.860 of the diversity

01:28:31.420 of this community,

01:28:32.140 every single

01:28:32.620 global homo festival ever.

01:28:34.640 Michael says,

01:28:35.480 it's not pride on display,

01:28:36.560 it's porn addiction.

01:28:37.840 Yeah,

01:28:38.080 probably.

01:28:38.340 JJHW points out

01:28:40.720 that pride goes before a fall,

01:28:42.120 which is true.

01:28:43.100 Fane Scotty of Swindon says,

01:28:44.440 a massive reason

01:28:45.120 I despise the political left

01:28:46.280 is because they despise

01:28:47.440 people for having

01:28:48.000 particular mindsets,

01:28:48.880 behaviours and values,

01:28:49.960 yet covet literally

01:28:50.900 everything the people

01:28:51.860 they despise have.

01:28:53.400 Case in point,

01:28:53.980 I hate capitalists

01:28:54.840 and conservatives

01:28:55.520 because whatever.

01:28:56.920 Anyway,

01:28:57.360 I want a holiday

01:28:57.900 in a pretty and safe city

01:28:58.840 with lots of material amenities.

01:29:00.580 Yeah,

01:29:00.700 they want all of the benefits.

01:29:02.440 It's just like the left

01:29:03.700 that's going,

01:29:04.200 I really want to go

01:29:05.060 to rural France for my holiday.

01:29:06.380 Oh no,

01:29:06.680 it's full of French fascists.

01:29:07.980 They want to decouple

01:29:08.660 peace and prosperity

01:29:09.260 from virtue.

01:29:09.960 Exactly,

01:29:10.600 exactly.

01:29:11.240 Because they're disgusting people.

01:29:13.480 Yeah,

01:29:13.840 they just don't have any

01:29:16.260 conception of cause and effect,

01:29:18.780 basically.

01:29:19.800 You know,

01:29:20.100 rural France isn't the place

01:29:21.600 you want to visit

01:29:22.100 because of the people in it.

01:29:23.360 And they act in a particular way

01:29:24.820 which makes the result

01:29:26.520 that you're looking for.

01:29:27.520 And yet you're like,

01:29:28.360 well,

01:29:28.560 that's just not,

01:29:29.320 you know,

01:29:29.880 anti-farina.

01:29:30.960 It's like,

01:29:31.200 sorry,

01:29:31.460 you just don't get it both ways.

01:29:33.500 And the last one,

01:29:34.400 Michael says,

01:29:35.360 I don't trust Canada.

01:29:36.480 They're pretty much

01:29:36.940 why the Geneva Convention exists.

01:29:39.280 I have no context for that.

01:29:41.900 I don't know.

01:29:43.360 I'm based.

01:29:45.100 I'm not learned enough

01:29:46.220 to take a position on that,

01:29:47.260 I'm afraid.

01:29:47.500 I don't know why the Canadians

01:29:48.700 are responsible

01:29:49.220 for the Geneva Convention.

01:29:50.980 Anyway,

01:29:51.300 on that giant rabbit hole,

01:29:52.400 thank you very much

01:29:52.980 for joining us.

01:29:53.720 Cheers,

01:29:54.020 fellas.

01:29:54.260 We had a fun one.

01:29:55.120 We'll be back tomorrow

01:29:56.000 at one o'clock.

01:29:57.100 Until then,

01:29:57.880 take care and goodbye.

01:29:58.760 Bye.
