00:00:18.120 not done one on our own before we haven't no it's gonna be good fun i think it's quite dangerous

00:00:23.040 it is yeah today we're going to uh invoke fate and potentially be uh bombed i imagine wow maybe

00:00:30.500 uh get macheted i think macheted is more like is macheted the word i don't know i stabbed with

00:00:36.100 machetes hunted down but um the reason i say that is because we're going to be talking about

00:00:42.520 the developments in the english riots the intensification of the information wars and

00:00:47.440 the islamic revolution in bangladesh so it's a muhammadan special it is indeed yes so i've

00:00:52.960 got a bunch of announcements the first of which is common sense crusade is at 3 p.m with your very

00:01:55.320 behind the scenes video um there is a part where i eat a packet of crisps very seductively that is

00:02:00.760 the the favorite so far um and rightfully so are we smoking pipes in this footage i don't think so i

00:02:06.080 wish they did have footage of that though but um yes it's a full 10 minute video behind the scenes

00:02:49.720 you don't deserve the discount code um anyway let's get on to the actual news okay so there were lots of

00:02:59.380 reports yesterday of over 100 far right demos protests riots no matter you know they're calling

00:03:07.880 them all sorts of different things so here's the independent saying it uh here's al jazeera saying

00:03:12.960 it uh here is the telegraph saying it interesting and then here is the belfast telegraph saying it

00:03:21.180 because of course things are going on in belfast as well as outlets like itv so i think it's safe to

00:03:27.300 say that a lot of the mainstream media pushed this story all of them all of them yes and to be fair

00:03:33.840 you can understand why it's certainly a story of interest to the entire nation that there are 100

00:03:40.900 protests planned supposedly according to who yes but we'll be getting into that because these protests

00:03:47.880 did not materialize all these far right riots all these these thugs we've been hearing about um

00:03:54.980 they just didn't turn up in fact who are they well that's the question who is this far right

00:04:01.180 i've been waiting to see them i've been hearing about them for over a week now yeah and it's strange

00:04:06.200 how the far right quite often it's a very local phenomenon in a lot of the protests and even the

00:04:12.120 left-wing media has been admitting this that a lot of them are sort of organic happening in the place

00:04:17.380 that they're they're occurring in made up of local people so who are the people getting

00:04:23.440 shipped in in by the busload with pre-printed professional cards are they not far right thugs

00:04:29.840 no it's not they're not they're very different so i wanted to have a look at some of the protests

00:04:34.920 because what actually happened was they were just the counter protests and what were they countering

00:04:40.580 well you know their imagination you know the far right turns out uh when the far right plan

00:04:46.440 a protest no one turns up it's like is the far right in the room with us right now it may well be

00:04:50.780 it's behind the video wall so here is wolfenstow and this is in london i'm going to go through

00:05:00.540 all of the the ones in london because funnily enough a lot of these counter protests happened in

00:05:06.260 places that weren't very english oh i wonder how that happened but here they are um obviously

00:05:12.600 peacefully disrupting traffic um waiting on tommy yeah apparently so um they're going to be waiting

00:05:19.920 a long time because i heard he's in cyprus i think he's actually in spain he's in spain now is he

00:05:24.460 i don't think he was ever in cyprus i don't think that was another piece of misinformation was it

00:05:29.340 oh right well i didn't want to track where he's going on holiday because i was very jealous

00:05:33.000 they've been doxing him and i know yeah it's disgusting the media are shameless aren't they

00:05:38.680 so here's some more that is quite a big crowd actually that is big but also it's in london and

00:05:46.640 it turns out that a lot of people might have a vested interest in london to uh counter protest these

00:05:54.240 these protests and riots anti-racist mobilization though yeah so the assumption there is that there's

00:06:01.100 some kind of racism going on and they're there to stop it yeah this is part of the the left-wing

00:06:05.080 framing of it that everyone involved is a fascist or a racist in which case um you know the fascist

00:06:11.560 movement in britain is somehow all of a sudden very very popular overnight i don't know how that's

00:06:16.400 happened obviously it's not true um but there were islamists here we are um and you know talking about

00:06:23.920 how uh they were chanting allahu akbar uh in anticipation for the far right turning up

00:06:29.860 uh the alleged far right you can see quite islamic for some reason they're just uh particularly keen 1.00

00:06:39.980 on anti-racism i think that must be it and uh yes there's some more crowds here from the ground and

00:06:47.960 notice one thing here wow the uniformity of all of the placards here they've done well with their

00:06:55.020 cut and paste in their homemade signs haven't they yeah there's a lot of synchronicity to

00:07:00.080 their signage isn't there it almost like they may have all come from the same place i'm sure george

00:07:06.920 soros and or our government had nothing to do with it i'm absolutely certain that that's not the case

00:07:11.600 they would never do such a thing and uh talking about things that never happen um you know how

00:07:17.760 it's always the far right and the spooky evil you know reform voters that are violent and terrible

00:07:24.040 and evil and the left wing obviously uh they love peace they love uh love they hate hate in fact

00:07:30.900 anyone who ever incites violence whether in real life or online should be arrested because it's always

00:07:35.200 the far right that are doing it that's true yeah and it's never uh left wingers and uh let's just

00:07:42.100 have a listen to this shall we this is in walthamstow as well

00:07:44.900 well that's pretty self-explanatory isn't it we needed to cut all their throats and get rid of 0.99

00:08:05.180 rid of them all yeah what yeah hang on a minute i don't think that was even going on in any of the

00:08:12.700 rioting no so here we have an islamist extreme or an extremist of some sort promoting the slicing of

00:08:19.300 throats of people he disagrees with and people aren't challenging him they're applauding him

00:08:22.940 applauding him yes that's an incitement to violence so he's also calling the the people they're

00:08:27.880 counter-protesting um fascists and racists and of course by by framing people as fascists even though

00:08:34.080 there isn't a significant fascist movement in britain they're just defying violence against

00:08:38.400 that's the whole purpose of them doing it because of course we fought them in world war ii it's part

00:08:43.300 of britain's mythos it's you know our national um mythology if you will well it's marxism it's

00:08:50.840 accused the enemy of doing what you're doing in order to confuse them but the thing is that this guy

00:08:56.260 has a bit of a recognizable face because oh yeah it's been suspected that this is the same guy

00:09:04.140 and you can you can see the similarities so he is a labor counselor which would make sense and it

00:09:13.940 also makes sense why he's been given you know a microphone while he's speaking at this event because

00:09:19.300 he's someone of some significance and it seems like this is the same guy we don't know for certain

00:09:24.160 yet it's not necessarily been confirmed um and people are talking about it like it's been confirmed

00:09:29.060 but we don't know maybe he's just got a doppelganger it's possible um regardless if we live in a country

00:09:35.900 where police police without fear or favor and we don't have a two-tiered policing system which our

00:09:41.080 prime minister keeps assuring us then this chap will be arrested for inciting violence i don't see it

00:09:45.700 happening i'll be very surprised and he'll be rushed through the courts as all the rioters have been

00:09:50.100 yeah i i imagine they're going to put him first to the you know at the front of the queue he's going

00:09:55.500 to spend a lot of time in prison he's definitely not going to uh evade justice uh of course that's

00:10:01.140 not what's going to actually happen and then of course the media was running stories uh like brave

00:10:06.300 walthamstow protesters blast silly riots with anti-nazi placards ahead of far right there are no nazis in

00:10:12.000 this blooming country oh there may be one or two there aren't there's no swathes of far right what is

00:10:17.180 this dream that they're trying to also that brave where were the there wasn't a protest it's hardly

00:10:23.740 brave when you're like i no one's there to fight brave surrounded by people that agree with you

00:10:28.340 oh apparently according to samson news just in we've got news just in that he has been suspended

00:10:37.300 wow thank you very much the labour councillor has been suspended it must be him yeah well there we go

00:10:43.060 i like news coming in as it as we're talking about it that's very handy so we've also got oh here we

00:10:50.680 go uh samson's pulled it up for us labour councillor suspended after video images of him urging crowds

00:10:56.300 to cut people's throats now i am in favor of free speech as you know but free speech has its limits

00:11:02.540 incitement to violence is a limit explicit incitement to violence not maybe in silent this is an explicit

00:11:07.940 incitement to violence this chap should be arrested yeah absolutely telling people to cut people's

00:11:13.100 throats is obvious incitement to violence using mean words and saying well it could lead to violence

00:11:18.740 is not the same no you know otherwise all the comedians in the country would be arrested

00:11:23.240 all good ones anyway yeah that's true so also uh another diverse area uh croydon had a visitation

00:11:31.380 from some muslims who were obviously walking around uh willing to do some gardening for some old folk

00:11:36.700 with their machetes and you know some knives to cut up some cheese to make them sandwiches

00:11:40.420 here we are

00:11:42.980 they're going to a snack bar that's true yeah they're just really enthusiastic about it yeah

00:11:51.060 but they've got very cold faces because you know it is but not arms it's cold faces yeah

00:11:55.600 look at the idiots honestly this is okay this is approved of this is part of the approved narrative

00:12:01.540 and carl rightfully points out that there is no edl in croydon not only because the edl doesn't exist

00:12:08.540 but also uh yeah why would there be an english defense league when the english have mostly left

00:12:15.700 well to be fair that's where you would need an english defense league the english people are in a

00:12:19.660 big minority or is it a small minority in croydon they need an edl unfortunately there is no edl there

00:12:25.700 yeah well we're constantly told aren't we that being a minority is so terrible in this country

00:12:30.200 and one has to wonder what will happen to the british people when it happens to us we have to

00:12:35.160 protect the minorities so we have to protect the white english welsh scottish and northern irish and 0.72

00:12:39.660 british in croydon yeah well i i very much agree so in the absence of any meaningful protest

00:12:46.880 uh the counter protesters um decided to just riot themselves anyway um here they are a bit of a

00:12:54.300 grainy video but throwing rubbish about um making a mess sort of milling around causing trouble yeah

00:13:02.780 pretty much you know it's it it does seem to just be a couple of trouble yeah a couple of people just

00:13:09.440 making a fuss i think to be completely fair um it doesn't look like it was most of the people there

00:13:16.980 um however um this was interesting eight people have been arrested in london for assaulting

00:13:24.280 emergency workers 50 people have gathered in croydon but aren't linked to protests instead

00:13:30.460 anti-social behavior okay this is similar to how it's not a terror related incident it's just mental

00:13:37.360 health it's not it's not linked to the protest it's just anti-social obviously it's a largely

00:13:42.340 peaceful protest absolutely accepting all the non-peaceful parts so 50 people they injured eight

00:13:50.620 emergency workers and they were in court eight people were arrested for assaulting emergency

00:13:55.620 we don't know how many emergency workers were actually assaulted it's just plural so more than

00:14:00.700 more than one interesting so moving on to finchley which is still in london um hardly anyone turned up

00:14:12.400 they still had the stand up to racism placards though even though it's just a handful of people

00:14:18.400 they're probably it looks like there are more police than there are actual protesters if you can see

00:14:24.680 there's not the best picture maybe there were more and i just didn't see a good picture but

00:14:29.180 it was tiny there's hardly anything to it but carl nonetheless doing the his demographic duty here

00:14:35.880 and pointing out the fact that 29.2 of the people are white english wealth scottish northern irish or

00:14:42.840 british why are so many areas in london um lacking british people well that's funny isn't it so lewisham

00:14:50.460 which is south london here are some more people they uh got fewer of the signs but they're still there

00:14:56.700 look if you can see the running theme throughout and uh carl again pointing out that another white

00:15:03.660 minority area and here we go um this is hastings there's a very clear version of this sign that

00:15:13.440 we've seen everywhere they were even in uh plymouth as well when i covered those all the way down there

00:15:18.680 um but pretty sizable to be fair and then bristol and i'm gonna torture you all with this one okay

00:15:27.440 uh this is probably one of the lamest things i've ever heard um so prepare yourself to cringe

00:15:33.740 but it doesn't even fit the tune of the song it doesn't oh it's so poor isn't it i know and

00:15:59.080 the the sign where it's just been spray painted on these are the kind of people who in school they

00:16:03.920 got marks for effort you know what i mean that's plenty a lot of marks there never for excellence

00:16:09.940 yeah there is a lot of marks there so bristol anti-racist yes i i think it's something is it

00:16:15.760 either anti-fascist or anti-far something like that bristol something or other where is the sign

00:16:20.640 it'll swing around no anti-far all right so yes an actual far left extremist group there you go

00:16:27.320 there's something to prescribe keir starmer yeah but of course he never ever ever speaks about the

00:16:31.480 far left he doesn't does he why is that well there's a lot of reasons he he doesn't want to do

00:16:36.120 that so here is brighton this is the least surprising of all the the gay capital of britain not just 0.95

00:16:42.360 because it's uh not using it in the sort of secondary school sense but in the actual sense of statistically

00:16:47.560 though yeah in both senses but um you can probably imagine that a lot of people turned out here

00:16:54.780 um and you can see the police defending basically four blokes oh no uh imagine being those four

00:17:02.020 blokes in the middle of all that i know yeah you just have to sort of wait it out wouldn't you yeah

00:17:06.220 um but here we go and they're still trying to have a go at these four blokes

00:17:15.420 so which ones of the nazis come in this scenario supposedly these gentlemen here

00:17:25.660 so not the ones attacking them no that are masked up with the signs and aggressively trying to push

00:17:32.600 past the police it's the four people stood here okay it's just ridiculous my history is a bit loose

00:17:40.580 so that the nazis were the minority standing by when everyone else was trying to attack them

00:17:44.880 uh i think that's a good reading of history yeah i think that's uh i think that's what is taught in

00:17:50.060 schools these days isn't it so also uh things going on in newcastle lots of people turned out

00:17:56.820 you get the gist obviously lots of palestinian headbands and the likes oh who's moving the mouse

00:18:04.680 get off um and liverpool as well pretty big uh counter protest no one to counter of course

00:18:11.420 because no one turned up here's older shot where some people did turn up here's nick tanconi the

00:18:16.880 interim leader of ukip um and if you actually look at the video there's a bunch of teenagers that hardly

00:18:25.160 anyone really turned out

00:18:26.960 communist scum off our streets

00:18:29.460 most of these people probably not old enough to vote i mean bless nick for trying to make something

00:18:38.440 of it but yeah it was a tiny little protest i mean it wouldn't even reach the news if this weren't

00:18:46.780 going on across the country communists come off our streets yeah also interesting uh what is that

00:18:53.640 yeah i've never seen the white letterbox before i know i've seen plenty of red ones the summer

00:18:58.700 alternative it might be yeah it's uh the new version that's come out but um yes also sheffield this is

00:19:05.800 an interesting one this is certainly one the media doesn't want you to see and here

00:19:10.460 bunch of muslims with weapons running down the street chasing after a police van it looks like actually 1.00

00:19:19.100 but remember the real danger is the far right

00:19:26.060 i've got these thugs no what are they going to do when they catch them

00:19:31.300 i don't know but that wasn't all because there was more oh here we go

00:19:41.100 always after that blooming snack bar i know but the police are having to retreat here this is sad

00:19:54.860 the police are running away

00:19:55.740 but you get the idea that yes no one's going to cover this in the mainstream media no one's

00:20:08.440 going to say muslims with machetes and pipes and weapons made the police retreat no one cares about 1.00

00:20:14.520 that this is not good this is quite scary imagine just being an ordinary british citizen walking

00:20:18.300 through that i wouldn't want to i wouldn't want to live in sheffield after seeing this happen to be

00:20:22.900 honest and of course the media ran its usual defense um bbc said successful night met police

00:20:28.640 chief says after mostly peaceful rallies across england so they actually cnn

00:20:32.500 mostly peaceful i screenshotted this this morning which is why it's it's purple from me clicking on it

00:20:39.140 thinking hang on a minute this can't be real but it is it is real um they are a parody of themselves

00:20:45.420 and um also met chief says police presence scared off rioters what nobody's scared of the police no

00:20:55.480 one turned up we've just seen a load of youths running after the police and the police running

00:20:58.860 away yes these these youths just very enthusiastic about allah for some reason well indeed yeah the

00:21:05.080 far right are too scared oh come on yeah i don't think so um so this is very interesting to me this

00:21:12.680 was a sort of mask off moment to my mind so we have the mirror

00:21:16.460 take note of the picture on the front cover standing together thousands of anti-racism protesters

00:21:22.340 turn out to for far right thugs i think that's sweet and then we go to the express the same picture

00:21:28.500 united britain stands firm against thugs and then the guardian thousands take to streets to counter

00:21:34.240 threat from far right same picture and then the times thousands take to the streets to confront

00:21:40.520 the far right deja vu and i don't know whether we've got the daily mail but they did the same

00:21:46.180 thing as well they they were pretty egregious i don't know whether you can pull that up samson i

00:21:51.100 thought it was amongst those um but i'll move on to the next one in the meantime so there's also

00:21:58.860 these so this is the daily record peaceful protest quash fears of further violent disorder despite

00:22:05.520 planned unrest in uk and then we go to the evening standard peaceful protest quash fears of further

00:22:12.500 violent disorder despite planned unrest these are different publications with exactly the same

00:22:19.140 uh titles could it be that this is the government's response to the unrest that we've seen over last

00:22:27.320 week and now they're saying it's over we fixed it well there are multiple different explanations and i

00:22:32.780 don't know um whether that um daily mail one is going to come up but it was particularly egregious

00:22:38.520 that supposedly a right-wing newspaper that i'll be showing it next anyway oh are you going to show

00:22:43.840 it in your segment okay that's fine but this is something that people say has radicalized the right

00:22:49.400 and caused the riots and it's coming out and saying you know anti-racism uh protest has come out and

00:22:56.280 i can't remember the exact title but it's basically taking the same line as all the others

00:23:00.840 so i wanted to have a little look at um some of these as well some photo ops so here we are

00:23:10.700 nine-year-old hassan uh boston khan tried on a police officer's helmet obviously that's the one i saw a

00:23:17.840 police officer about that height actually with riot gear on it was a little khan all along 1.00

00:23:21.480 it may well have been and uh here we are good vibes only with the police and all of a sudden

00:23:28.820 you know there's people hugging our our s stein yes and uh there we go one man in liverpool shook

00:23:34.600 hands with a protester and received a cheer from a crowd after gesturing to them with both their

00:23:38.700 hands in the air peace has been restored i know these these protests were just so productive never

00:23:43.100 mind the the masked people and the palestinian flag in the background never mind the anti-racist

00:23:47.820 shouting for genocide of an entire race no no no that that is not of concern apparently

00:23:54.280 but there are lots of explanations to why there were meant to be hundreds of protests and what

00:24:00.980 about four people turned up to one in brighton and a bunch of teenagers that are probably not even

00:24:07.020 intending to turn up to the protest who are just hanging about we don't even know those four people

00:24:10.580 were protesting they could have just been stuck there passes by yeah with an england t-shirt on

00:24:14.540 yeah and uh there's this explanation um this is obviously a satirical article this isn't real

00:24:21.320 mi5 uncovers white supremacist plot to just sit back and enjoy the collapse of the united kingdom

00:24:25.720 um i feel like we're living through that the the notion that the the far right just tried to

00:24:33.300 wind people up and make them think there was a protest to make people concerned and then just

00:24:38.480 sat back and let it happen i don't think this actually happened it's a possible explanation

00:24:42.720 um another one is the um hope not hate here they uh had an update saying we are promet um

00:24:52.680 prioritizing 48 locations that have been mentioned as possible targets for far right mobilization

00:24:57.020 by whom yes exactly and they were the circulating information here um i thought i linked their website

00:25:06.000 but basically that they're saying that there will be um all these locations they said several days

00:25:11.820 ago a list of 39 locations was compiled and released in an extreme far right telegram channel just not

00:25:16.660 far right extreme far right um one of the central online spaces behind this week's racist violence in

00:25:22.840 merseyside this hit list of aspirational targets um that calls for action up to and including terrorism

00:25:29.620 it by the way um doesn't discourage people from going to these um places that they've named

00:25:36.740 um and if it was actually genuinely believed that they might conduct acts of terror why would hope not

00:25:43.300 hate be saying well if you're going to here please remain peaceful and you know keep an anti-racist

00:25:49.740 message and things like that rather than it's going to be a potential bomb threat or something like that

00:25:54.000 that's a good point i mean they've overused the term far right so much now that when they think

00:25:58.560 there's an actual far right they have to use the words extreme far right but if they're linking it to

00:26:02.440 terrorism let's flip it around if we from the center right or centrist whatever we are saw a

00:26:07.820 potential islamist terror threat we'd say avoid this area at all costs because we'd fear for people's 0.91

00:26:12.500 lives so this is clearly not the same this is hyping up propaganda yeah you could even if you're

00:26:18.820 particularly cynical interpret this as they know that this isn't going to happen and they're encouraging

00:26:24.600 the counter-protest because if they exaggerate the threat of the far right it mobilizes the left

00:26:30.760 have you got nick law's thing coming up next i do yes so it goes on to say um the single list

00:26:37.460 created um by one telegram channel was likely one individual um differs from the wave of more

00:26:43.040 organically organized riots and violence we have seen over the past week so this is a sort of

00:26:47.140 plausible deniability that they're talking about um most of the previous events were organized by

00:26:52.780 individuals from those locations with support from local far right activists and racists they have to

00:26:58.000 add that last part but to be fair that is what people have been saying that it is a largely local

00:27:03.140 phenomenon to you know when even the southport ones you can recognize the accents of the people

00:27:08.640 right because there's no far right organization it's just local brits who are fed up hurt upset and 1.00

00:27:13.480 frustrated exactly and um yes they said we found very little discussion within far right networks

00:27:20.580 about attending the protest the places on this hit list which means some locations may see no protests

00:27:25.540 at all some location and this was um long before any of the protests actually turned out which i find

00:27:31.880 interesting that they're basically calling the bluff of it whilst no one else was interesting isn't it

00:27:37.800 it is um but of course they say if you're planning to attend a counter demonstration please be positive

00:27:43.400 peaceful and safe don't let the far right bait you and your community into lashing out but i thought

00:27:47.540 there was going to be an act of terror going on hope not hate why are you encouraging them to go there

00:27:52.120 then that's quite dangerous actually it is and uh here's uh nick lowles saying yes the list was a

00:27:58.520 hoax but just look at the front pages of today's papers an anti-racist racist message is being

00:28:03.800 transmitted to millions of homes this morning in a very uniform way that almost indicates to my mind

00:28:10.640 that there is no um there's no organicness to it it's all come from a single source if if everything

00:28:20.240 is the same it's got a single origin point that much is pretty much obvious and i think that

00:28:26.240 what has actually happened here is that the intelligence services have directed something here

00:28:31.000 because the police do not have the capacity to deal with the riots the the ones last weekend already

00:28:36.060 stretched them yeah and then that's no doubt what starmer in his cobra meetings has been discussing

00:28:41.500 and when they're concerned about the country turning to widespread disorder without the ability

00:28:46.780 to deal with it it is perfectly feasible to suggest that the intelligence services carried out an

00:28:51.820 operation to try and de-escalate tensions which i think is what has gone on here um but that in

00:28:56.780 particular looks like nick lowles is involved in it maybe i'm misreading it but it sounds like he's

00:29:00.300 a part of this hoax and he's happy because the propaganda worked well there has been a lot of

00:29:06.060 speculation which i cannot confirm that there is a connection between them and some intelligence

00:29:12.540 services i've heard many people say it i i haven't necessarily seen any evidence for it myself

00:29:17.900 um so please don't take that at face value but um our intelligence services potentially working with

00:29:23.980 commies mm-hmm it's not the first time is it um but i think that the fact that the

00:29:30.060 media parroted the same lines all at the same time the same narrative all together using the same

00:29:35.020 images the protesters had the same stand up to racism uh placards all across the country that

00:29:41.020 seemingly got out very quickly didn't they they made available very easily and and maybe just at the

00:29:47.580 onset of these riots you know they they were just very hot on sending them out and it was just stand

00:29:52.540 up to racism being very good at logistics it's possible however the uniformity of everything that has

00:29:58.620 gone on and how this has all been lapped up suggests to me that there is some sort of planning involved

00:30:05.660 some sort of intelligence involved and i think circulating fake protest info to left-wing circles

00:30:11.500 to mobilize them i don't think the people turning up realized that it was something that could

00:30:16.460 potentially be inorganic or a waste of their time and then the gate kept it from the right so no actual

00:30:22.700 right wing is turned up and this ensures only the left turn up it allows them to get photo ops and

00:30:27.500 claim that they had a peaceful protest and uh it's also worth mentioning that many of the anti-immigration

00:30:33.980 protests stayed peaceful but the media focused on the ones that turned violent because there were

00:30:38.220 counter protesters there and so without any opposition there they could ease more easily control the

00:30:44.620 narrative and have sort of a free open season in the media uh to to try and shift it as saying well

00:30:52.060 you're not the majority you don't stand for what we believe you know there are lots of people that

00:30:56.620 are anti-immigration and therefore it's an attempt to de-escalate tensions i don't necessarily see it

00:31:02.620 working we'll have to see in the future but it does seem like something suspicious has gone on here yeah

00:31:07.740 because when we saw on sky news the counter protesters last week were becoming quite violent and

00:31:13.660 aggressive they they seemed upset by it because they couldn't they want to almost wanted to turn around

00:31:17.820 saying we're on your side guys you know don't let the side down and so this is a narrative that they

00:31:21.980 could control absolutely and i think that um although we don't know for certain what happened

00:31:27.580 there are lots of interesting questions to ask about why these hundreds of protests that were

00:31:32.940 supposedly planned circulated in all of the mainstream media and then not a you know hardly a soul turned up

00:31:39.900 and these lefties these far lefties with the placards they're busting everywhere when i used to go to the uh

00:31:45.340 drag queen story time protest you'd see them come get bust in with their placard like it's a 0.96

00:31:49.340 professional unit at this point they are almost paid to protest i don't doubt it

00:31:56.780 so let's move on to your segment okay it ties in pretty nicely i think

00:32:05.580 oh sorry i don't have my screen on so i'm just going to quickly turn that on

00:32:10.060 i'm very professional don't you know um oh it's not working oh there we go never mind

00:32:17.100 so the last russian says thank you for showing the mi5 plot meme i haphazardly made that last

00:32:21.740 night on publisher proud always the lowest effort memes that get the most traction oh yeah well

00:32:27.580 well i'm glad you're proud you should be um i think that actually it's uh pretty good um sammy says

00:32:35.100 forgive my ignorance i'm from the colonies but um what has the royal family have to say if anything

00:32:40.620 about the goings on or do they uh truly uh not matter in any way thanks well it's more that they

00:32:46.540 should stay neutral here in these sorts of matters and it's sort of convention that they stay out of

00:32:51.900 it and it's a matter for the public and politicians and actually i think it'd be a bad idea if they

00:32:56.860 weighed in no i agree a lot of people keep asking what good is your king he's not doing anything about

00:33:00.460 it like it's not his job to do anything about it he sits there constitutionally to protect

00:33:04.940 certain areas like the military like the judiciary he's not there to step in and be political

00:33:09.420 however he will be very much aware of this and keeping an eye on everything absolutely

00:33:13.980 so sad wings raging says well you guys are getting off relatively light compared to your ancestors you

00:33:19.500 won't have to travel far to get to the next needed crusade it's true it's starting on our doorstep

00:33:26.700 bonsai buddy says the anger from the far right is a thin veneer for the middle class who loathe the poor

00:33:31.020 i know the real issue but they'll uh be on the first flight to oz to get away whilst the

00:33:35.740 paws are stuck here um and then biggie bigfoot says christ is king christ is king sorry go ahead

00:33:44.220 okay excellent right let's start with these information wars which so we've been in a

00:33:51.580 cultural war we've been in a spiritual war but we're also in an information war and you've alluded to

00:33:56.140 quite a bit of it in your segment but i want to talk about who is behind it so let's have a look

00:34:00.860 at the nudge unit because people have heard the term nudge unit and not realize it's an actual thing

00:34:06.540 here is the website for the institute for government this is a lobby group set up by

00:34:12.380 lord sainsbury yes the one from the the supermarkets with the aim to quote provide thought leadership

00:34:19.420 on effective government now these guys are used by the tories by the labor party these guys are used

00:34:25.100 as spin units to help them sell things and so the the institute for government explains for us what

00:34:31.740 the nudge unit is so established by the cabinet of or in the cabinet office so the nudge unit was a

00:34:37.580 part of the government in 2010 david cameron's conservative lib dem coalition government set up

00:34:44.380 in in the in the official government with our taxpayer dollars and

00:34:48.380 dot taxpayers pounds a lot of american politics for that that's disgusting 1.00

00:34:53.100 and then spun off into a separate company as they often do with these ngos so that they can claim 0.94

00:34:58.060 it's an arm's length away from the government it's not actually the government that's doing the work

00:35:01.740 i've done a lot of research into the nudge units actually a lot of the psychology that they use is my

00:35:07.340 research specialization because i specialized in behavioral decision making yes great you're on with

00:35:12.060 the right person okay so one one of the interesting things is this is the only case of a government

00:35:18.220 department or a government institution that has been privately sold off and it's worth mentioning i

00:35:23.180 think this happened in 2016 i think yep so it got opened up to the private sector partially yes and then

00:35:29.420 eventually it got sold off and now it operates in 51 countries it might even be more since i've lasted the

00:35:35.500 research and it has basically skyrocketed and is getting to the point of almost competing with the

00:35:41.980 tony blair institute in in size of sort of scope and scale that's quite scary and the fact that it has

00:35:51.340 been so profitable and operates in so many countries in such a short space of time indicates to me that

00:35:56.940 there's a significant number of people who are pushing this to succeed oh there are indeed and so

00:36:03.420 the nudge unit itself is called the behavioral insights team and as josh points out it was split

00:36:09.900 off from the cabinet office and almost sold off which meant that the people i mean the people who

00:36:13.900 are there are still there but they are able to make money from doing what they're doing on top of

00:36:17.820 our taxpayer pounds because it's it's going to be partly funded by the government and partly funded

00:36:21.820 by private invest investment well it went through a phase of being like that but i think it's now entirely

00:36:27.100 privately owned is it really it is yeah well they'll still be getting taxpayer money because

00:36:32.380 the government of course the government still oh yes yes of course sorry i misunderstood no no it's

00:36:36.300 fine and so if we look at who these people are the psychologist david helpburn and his area of

00:36:44.060 expertise is experimental psychology so we have an expert in experimental psychology running a unit

00:36:53.740 which is referred to by the government as the nudge unit consulted by our cabinet or started in the

00:36:59.740 cabinet for for using experimental psychology on the british public we have a government at war with

00:37:08.220 its people essentially whatever they're using the psychology for like a government should not be

00:37:11.820 using experimental psychology on their own people yes so experimental psychology is like how you conduct

00:37:17.980 research but when you're in a position whereby you are advising say government policy and particularly

00:37:23.580 given giving policy recommendations the the my main gripe with all of this other than it's horrendously

00:37:31.020 authoritarian is that the decision making psychology literature isn't as resounding to say okay here is what

00:37:39.020 you need to do for this you can make some recommendations you can make suggestions to say maybe it's this

00:37:44.380 but it's not definitively settled because the field of behavioral decision making is still sort of

00:37:49.740 quite young um behavioral economics as a discipline has only been around for you know about 30 or so

00:37:56.780 years in in any serious capacity and that's not very long in in the sciences to have any sort of

00:38:02.940 definitive conclusions you can get some basics nailed down but you can't say okay we definitively know

00:38:09.260 how to deal with this specific issue of public policy right and particularly if people have a political agenda

00:38:15.980 they're going to um design their experiments around proving that they're correct yes and in a position

00:38:23.340 like this i don't think it's optimal to do good research and good experiments and actually it doesn't

00:38:28.620 matter if it's definitive or not because the purpose of a government is to well we have a representative

00:38:33.260 democracy so they're supposed to represent the needs of the people not manipulate the needs of the

00:38:36.540 people this is the issue i have with it in terms of how it was used in covid when they say they proposed

00:38:41.740 through the units measures public to be drilled for future emergencies the idea that people we should

00:38:47.260 push a message so hard that people go along with it rather than asking the people what they want from

00:38:51.820 their government well this is um just something that government does unfortunately i'm it's no mystery

00:38:57.740 that i'm very uh anti-state power um i'm quite libertarian and this sort of thing is a complete

00:39:05.020 inversion of what democracy is meant to be about you're meant to you're meant to be telling the

00:39:10.060 government what you want it to do not the government telling you what is best for you that is to my

00:39:15.020 mind a complete perversion of what it's meant to do absolutely and so they say the purpose of the

00:39:21.580 behavioral insight insights team is the organization is to influence public thinking and decision making

00:39:27.740 in order to improve compliance with government policy again that is completely backwards and up to

00:39:33.660 inside out from what the government should be doing and so

00:39:39.260 on the back of that we have so we have the behavioral insights team which is called the

00:39:43.180 nudge unit that's one arm of influencing and manipulating the public another arm of it is

00:39:48.780 this this is the trusted news initiative now this is newer than the uh nudge unit this one was set

00:39:55.260 up specifically for covid and this is essentially a collaboration by the associated press the bbc

00:40:03.660 uh canadian uh state publishers financial times all of big tech so facebook microsoft google

00:40:13.260 including european broadcasting union as well yep so pretty much all all the western state broadcasters

00:40:20.140 and print publications everything the news in general in the west is part of this trusted news

00:40:26.620 initiative and their goals are quite simple to alert against the most harmful disinformation right

00:40:33.500 so who who clarify who specifies what is this information based on what well based on the

00:40:37.900 governments that these companies well the government thinks that it has a monopoly on telling the truth

00:40:41.580 right actually there are lots of strong incentives that some of the some of the most harmful lies

00:40:46.940 that could possibly told be told in a society are most likely to come from a government because they

00:40:52.700 have the most uh strong incentives to do so yeah and so sure people might believe some silly stuff i don't

00:40:59.020 believe that the earth is flat or that you have a right to yeah i and i i think it's silly but i

00:41:04.860 also think that people should be allowed to believe that if they believe that lizard people are taking

00:41:08.140 over the earth like they live they should be allowed to think that um again so they're not harming anyone

00:41:14.460 yeah and but some of the governments are explicit in this so juicing to ardern was a good example she said

00:41:19.820 we will be your source of information as in the news will come from the government and now call me old

00:41:26.060 school but journalism used to be about the media holding the powers that be to account not working

00:41:31.420 for them not being their voice and so this again flips the whole process inside out and upside down

00:41:37.420 they are to discuss trends media education again the media isn't there to educate the public it's

00:41:42.940 there to inform the public it's a it's nuanced difference but it's important and then engineering

00:41:47.740 solutions so the trusted news initiative is there to engineer solutions to the problems that they

00:41:52.220 see around disinformation and what they call disinformation so what i would find very

00:41:56.380 interesting about this is that this is basically expanding politicians power over one of their main

00:42:02.300 avenues of criticism yes and my understanding of the role of politicians in today's politics is that

00:42:09.260 they're sort of paid representatives for corporate interest and it would be interesting to see the

00:42:15.020 overlap between who's donating to which political parties and who's uh supporting this um specific

00:42:22.380 initiative because i imagine there will be overlap and i imagine that the reason that they're doing this

00:42:29.180 is because it can help push the sort of favorable treatment to certain companies certain corporations

00:42:36.700 within a nation by not only paying off the politicians effectively which is what campaign donations are

00:42:43.260 and uh also helping neuter any criticism in the press about certain things which is not a far fetch

00:42:51.740 because if we look at i mean last week in my common sense crusade we covered the fact that

00:42:55.500 if you google assassination attempt you won't find the photograph of donald trump's assassination attempt

00:43:01.500 if you google donald trump you'll get results for kamala harris like there's an obvious very clear

00:43:06.700 bias that is being implemented by big tech and by mainstream media and we we talked just a moment

00:43:12.220 to go about sky news we're doing the bbc we're also doing the same and using these words as mostly

00:43:16.700 peaceful largely peaceful there's a slant and a bias to all of this but we'll get we'll get to today's

00:43:22.700 most obvious example later on but what i find also disturbing about this is the almost anti-competitive

00:43:29.580 nature to it this there's a massive monopoly here so if you're not part of this you're going to be

00:43:34.300 silence because they i mean google youtube they affect us you know the lotus eaters uh microsoft

00:43:41.260 meter they affect again likewise independent journalists if you have a smaller voice you have

00:43:46.940 to use these the platforms that these guys are on so there's no way around their censorship it's uh

00:43:53.340 it is collusion and it's headed up by our state broadcaster the bbc which again is an arm's length

00:43:57.820 away from our government so one of the one of the companies involved in this is the associated press

00:44:09.100 and i just found this fascinating it's the first one listed but as someone who's worked previously

00:44:14.060 in the professional media associated press are very very influential so gb news is a prime example

00:44:19.820 when people say why are gb news going woke they're suddenly talking about climate change

00:44:23.580 it's not necessarily that gb news are going woke they don't write most of their headlines

00:44:27.820 they get sent these bulletins from the associated press they take their bulletins put them up online

00:44:32.460 sometimes they may change a few words but they just shovel out content that they're being sent

00:44:36.940 yeah so the i looked into this in great detail actually and lots of other reuters is another

00:44:42.060 example of this reuters and ap yeah both of those are sort of providers of resources for journalists

00:44:48.940 in other institutions and we actually uh when when lotus eaters first started looked at getting um photos

00:44:55.340 from the associated press for um some of our written articles just the photos we didn't want the

00:45:00.540 articles because obviously they'd be nonsense but um we wanted to use you know relevant photos because

00:45:06.220 of all of the usage rights and the copyright law and stuff like that we wanted to make them interesting

00:45:10.940 and relevant and to compete with the mainstream media yeah and i i was the one actually leading the

00:45:17.340 process and i learned a lot about um how they operate how these sorts of things work and in the end we

00:45:23.180 realized it was a massive rip off and not worth it so we didn't go through with it but um yes it's

00:45:28.860 very interesting and this is part of the reason i think that a lot of um media organizations have

00:45:34.860 very similar headlines is that it it comes from the associated press and reuters yes and if you can

00:45:40.860 control the narrative in both of those well you can control the press that's it exactly you don't need

00:45:45.260 to control the entire press you just need to control associated press and reuters and they send out

00:45:49.340 the bulletins the pictures the headlines and the content to all of these agencies and some of them

00:45:54.620 change them some of them fill them around but a lot of them just push it all straight online and so

00:45:58.620 that is a key part of the problem we're facing right now now this trusted news initiative which i

00:46:04.140 mentioned was set up over kobe 19 specifically to combat disinformation which essentially from a

00:46:09.260 government's point of view means not talking about the things that they don't want us to talk about

00:46:13.340 has also been is moved on so it started with covid they had uh their trust in news conferences they

00:46:23.020 had the latest one was about these issues here so ukraine what is different disinformation about

00:46:28.780 ukraine well since we are an ally of ukraine and effectively at war a proxy war with russia we can

00:46:35.180 pretty much sum up that certain news is going to be classed as disinformation whether it's true or not

00:46:39.420 uh because they'll mark it as propaganda nationalization of the internet i don't i

00:46:45.820 genuinely don't that's horrifying if the internet were nationalized i would despair for the fate of

00:46:52.380 humanity but in some places it is you know china have their firewall north korea have their blackouts 0.50

00:46:57.660 india have had theirs during the elections uh it's not too far-fetched imagine we could have the same

00:47:03.580 very soon mainstream media have been talking about it a lot this week should be able to ban

00:47:07.740 ban the ban social media during riots and unrest it's ridiculous because you know people will

00:47:13.420 always find ways to communicate with each other taking away the tools isn't going to get rid of the

00:47:19.020 motivation it's the same with um social media it's the same with mass shootings in the us you know

00:47:25.980 people blame the tools for what is fundamentally a question of human motivation yes and blocking one

00:47:33.660 thing just means you use something else over covid they prevented us from going to church and they

00:47:37.900 closed the pubs so that stopped our association which is why we did everything online but i mean

00:47:42.140 if they blocked online we'd go the other other direction there's always a way around it but of

00:47:45.260 course they're always going to try to just to block what they call disinformation climate change

00:47:50.460 another very obvious example that there is an approved narrative there that they want to push

00:47:54.700 and so they will use the trusted news initiative to push that narrative artificial intelligence again

00:47:59.500 another concerning one i don't know what that what the approved narrative is for that but i do know

00:48:03.580 there are very many clear biases in in artificial intelligence or the the most of the most prominent

00:48:09.500 ai engines that are in use at the moment so whether you're writing reports or doing research

00:48:14.220 whatever you're doing there is a skewed bias towards liberalism the funny thing is there are ways

00:48:19.020 of getting around this like uh chat gpt's obviously had a woke lobotomy but then i use it

00:48:24.620 to tell me what ethnicity perpetrators of crimes are i say what's the statistical likelihood that

00:48:31.740 this person came from um whatever country and it will say it's most likely they're from pakistan or

00:48:39.100 somalia or something like that because that way it can it control through all the list of names

00:48:43.900 you've just got to frame it correctly and know how to use it and get good results but it is it's almost

00:48:49.820 going to be impossible to make it bulletproof without um making it almost useless yeah but at

00:48:55.900 the same time you can only work with what data set it has so if it's the liberals pushing the data

00:49:00.380 set even if you work around it you've got certain limitations there and another example was uh people

00:49:06.140 searching about donald trump's assassination and the ai would say nothing don't know what that is

00:49:10.780 that is about but then you say what happened on this date and it will say oh the assassination

00:49:14.700 attempt of donald j trump so it has the information but again it's hiding it for a political

00:49:19.500 reason uh and the role in big tech of tackling disinformation was another major topic at this

00:49:25.580 conference so again they're very explicit in that they want the big tech companies not just the media

00:49:29.980 companies to have an impact on what they see as disinformation and we saw this with the twitter files

00:49:35.340 when we learned that the fbi for example had a back door to twitter to say block that person delete

00:49:40.460 that thread and actually looked at some of the specific cases that were listed and some of them were

00:49:45.580 really small accounts tweeting into the void and even then they're just like remove this this

00:49:50.940 this information is dangerous even though it's just an anonymous account with like five likes on

00:49:56.700 the tweet some of them which is absurd that that level is one thing to have censorship at all and

00:50:02.300 obviously i i disapprove of all censorship however when it's to that level of pettiness it shows you the

00:50:08.460 lengths that they're willing to go yes to cover top at all costs um robert f kennedy jr um the the

00:50:16.460 potential presidential candidate has filed an antitrust lawsuit in texas against the tni against

00:50:24.060 the trusted news initiative which of course is uh global and he's saying that it is pretty much

00:50:30.060 similar to what we've said on the show so far then that it's a monopoly of information it is an antitrust

00:50:34.860 situation and he called them the disinformation dozen uh and i think well i'm hoping that that

00:50:41.420 will go some some direction to finding out what happened over covid in terms of what new sources

00:50:46.620 were blocked who was presented prevented from speaking particularly when it came to the vaccine

00:50:51.260 or the jab information because what was classed as disinformation at the beginning is certainly

00:50:56.140 truth or allowed at this point and this is a very important thing as well it's good that he's doing

00:51:00.940 it in texas but if if they're allowed to continue operating it's going to be the case that um elites

00:51:08.220 perhaps many of them unelected as well are going to determine what we can say in our you know our own

00:51:13.820 countries despite the fact that it's meant to be us that appoint them power not the other way around

00:51:20.380 it's becoming tyrannical it's obvious example but at the start of covid we weren't allowed to ask

00:51:25.500 about the woof the wuhan lab that was taken off facebook taken off twitter at the start now we

00:51:31.020 know that that's the most probable out um outcome of where it came from a wuhan lab and so it was

00:51:35.980 disinformation or misinformation at the beginning and now it's known as common or commonly known as

00:51:40.940 the truth and so for these people to be the arbiters of truth is a scary prospect and why is it relevant

00:51:47.180 well when boris johnson was our prime minister he gave a bung as he called as he refers it to the

00:51:55.020 media and dominic cummings confirmed this that he heard boris johnson speaking directly about this

00:52:02.060 about giving the media a wallet of a wad of cash in order to put forward a certain approved narrative

00:52:10.060 and there are investigations into into what this meant what this bung of cash meant but the fact that the

00:52:14.620 the prime minister can have a direct conversation with uh lord egnavi uh log log nebedev lebedev

00:52:21.740 lebedev uh the only evening standard guy anyway and say look this is what we need and then of course

00:52:28.300 we saw across all the papers the covid the same headlines same image the same message whether it's

00:52:33.340 right wing paper left wing paper and this is exactly why because of the the government's working

00:52:39.020 through the trusted news initiative which brings me back to your your last topic of where we are today

00:52:46.940 all of the newspapers are running the same headlines whether they're right or left so we had the times

00:52:52.460 thousands take to the streets to confront the far right so a right wing a center right paper versus

00:52:58.540 the guardian a far left paper thousands take to the streets to counter threat from far right i mean

00:53:02.460 it's one word difference for goodness sake same layout same image same headline this is being fed to them

00:53:08.140 they're copying each other's homework aren't they we've got the mirror again their unity and then

00:53:12.220 that picture and the daily express oh unity and then that picture this is clearly being pushed

00:53:18.380 through the trusted news initiative through the behavior behavioral insights uh or the nudge unit

00:53:23.820 it's one or both of these government arm's length bodies are having an impact on what we're

00:53:30.060 seeing in our mainstream media they're trying to manipulate us here was the other one i think this

00:53:35.580 was the one you were looking for uh so we've got the independence so everywhere all the newspaper

00:53:39.820 agents agencies were talking about this so-called 100 far right demos that were going to happen last

00:53:44.300 night that of course none of them happened independent far left al jazeera far islamist

00:53:51.100 the standard center left the guardian again far left all these papers talking of the same headlines

00:53:57.980 same content all talking about 100 far right protests who told them where did they get that

00:54:04.220 information from if i was saying it and nothing happened i'd be accused of misinformation

00:54:08.460 potentially arrested at this point the way the government's going why is there no consequences

00:54:12.460 for these mainstream media outlets well if uh hope not hate it to be believed it all comes from one

00:54:17.980 man in a telegram chat one man potentially named nick lols sky news as well and of course so that's just

00:54:26.700 stuff in the print but it's not just print where this is happening oh here's the one daily mail uh

00:54:31.580 uh yeah night anti-hate marches face down the thugs did they who didn't face down yeah no one no one

00:54:38.300 turned up they're face down the mirror but i love steve edgington the daily mail backs the refugees

00:54:43.980 welcome pro-palestine and far-left islamist protestors uh coalition yeah indeed the so-called right-wing

00:54:50.940 paper is backing the hard left why would that be unless that there was some kind of incentive for them to do

00:54:57.500 so hmm someone's leaning on them in some way but it's not just the prints it is also in television

00:55:04.460 there's a pattern developing this was gmb earlier this week i'm sure because we've talked about this

00:55:09.580 a few times in the last few days like many of our viewers will so here we have ed balls interviewing

00:55:15.100 his wife yvette cooper a government minister the topic of conversation have done at home since those

00:55:21.180 terrible killings in southport there have been identifiable individuals on social media who have

00:55:27.740 been inciting not just riot but violence they've been using racist language they've been using

00:55:34.220 falsehoods about what happened in southport this is uh this is happening on the social media platforms

00:55:42.060 what can be done what should be done now by the social media companies and the police and the government

00:55:47.420 to stop this happening because it's been happening for a week well you're doesn't matter what she

00:55:52.940 waffles on the point is the question from the mainstream media is what are you going to do

00:55:56.780 about social media zip forward a few days later same channel mainstream media good morning britain

00:56:03.340 one of the most watched morning breakfast programs in the country we should stop it um it's only a

00:56:09.180 temporary measure in order to limit um the spread of inflammatory information misinformation as well

00:56:15.580 across the united kingdom at this point and uh so they found found a useful idea to say yes we

00:56:21.100 should but the question they're asking ban social media during unrest also temporary measure just like

00:56:26.060 the lockdowns oh yeah yeah it's only two weeks oh don't worry the curve also to keep people safe

00:56:32.460 yeah to keep who's safe yeah not us you just need to go in the prison cell to keep people safe

00:56:39.420 but the media is pushing this question now should we ban social media and of course it's not about

00:56:43.340 social media it's about twitter otherwise known as x it's about elon musk who has been mentioned

00:56:49.420 to the police chief of the met and i think the ddp the director of private public prosecutions

00:56:55.980 mentioned him anyway the point is that they are clamping down because it's the one platform they

00:56:59.180 cannot yet control the narrative on it's not part of the trusted news initiative it's not part of that

00:57:03.180 big tech google meter and all those things that they see it as a threat well it certainly is

00:57:10.620 and so to wrap up i'll leave you with a question of is the far right really the problem or is it

00:57:17.340 is it the people manipulating us into believing that the far right is the problem something is

00:57:21.100 clearly afoot here um because there were very little far right in in josh's segment there's very

00:57:25.500 little far right in what i've seen so far but there's lots of evidence of the hard left uh from

00:57:30.940 people saying from the river to the sea people say promoting genocide of jews and so there are

00:57:37.660 there are real threats to people there are real incitement of violence and very few consequences

00:57:42.140 for them yet there's an imaginary threat of violence from an imaginary far right and they

00:57:46.700 want to do everything to take our freedoms away to protect us from that imaginary threat something's not

00:57:50.860 right here here we do have some uh more rumble chats the shadow band for 50 dollars that's very

00:57:58.380 nice of you thank you um this stuff terrifies me i want my thoughts and opinions to be my own

00:58:03.260 but uh to know how malleable human opinion is the sharing of so that was me

00:58:10.300 got jump scared by an american there um wind pill seeker says sounds like nudge um get government 0.83

00:58:17.340 grants but no government oversight to ensure um plausible deniability like an activist lobby group

00:58:23.100 with a consulting division yeah well it's actually better um this is this is a theme i've heard

00:58:29.980 throughout um a lot of modern politics is that you can do more outside of politics than you can do

00:58:35.980 within it oh yeah lots of senior government ministers have said this yeah um this is why michael gove chose

00:58:42.220 not to stand in the last election exactly it's it's that the new power is being an unelected um

00:58:49.740 corporatist or because you also make a lot more money you're unaccountable and you're unaccountable

00:58:55.260 so why would why would people go through politics why would people use those means why be the puppets

00:59:00.700 when you could be the puppet masters exactly all right well there's another example this is an old one

00:59:07.660 but it's it's just highlighting this media trusted news initiative the idea that we could get every

00:59:12.780 outlet singing from the same hymn sheet

00:59:14.300 false news has become all too common on social media

00:59:27.420 we've seen this video before it's very good

00:59:57.420 anyway i'm not interested in the asset building but i thought this was the longest i've got the

01:00:17.660 wrong clip but anyway it essentially shows that they cannot get them all reading from the same script

01:00:21.500 all saying the same thing and manipulating us constantly they're saying that they are fighting

01:00:25.660 against fake news on social media but actually the fake news is the mainstream media and they are

01:00:31.980 right so you may have noticed if you've been paying attention to the news things have been

01:00:37.260 going on in bangladesh and uh you'll be like you'll probably be saying well hang on a minute

01:00:42.220 i'm not from bangladesh why does it i'm not from white chapel yeah i'm not from white chapel or parts

01:00:47.100 of london you know that has a very large bangladeshi community but um yes there's something going on

01:00:53.420 there that i think is very analogous to what's going on in europe and perhaps even america as

01:00:58.860 well so there has been what i am dubbing an islamic revolution and i think it's somewhat fair to say that

01:01:07.420 um there are political reasons she's not part of it she's she's been deposed but um the official

01:01:14.620 death figure so far of what's been going on in bangladesh is at least 440 people including

01:01:20.300 children and the lady on screen here is the former prime minister uh sheikh has seen her and she

01:01:27.500 stepped down and fled to india oh so sheikh is a unisex word apparently so but um she escaped minutes 0.99

01:01:35.420 before thousands of people stormed her residence and then subsequently ransacked it she's been serving

01:01:40.540 as the prime minister of bangladesh since january of 2009 and she also served a term um leading up to

01:01:47.820 the 2000s i think from 96 um so is this the one who's tulip sadique's aunt i'm not entirely sure

01:01:55.820 um i i did try and look it up but i just couldn't find out um but she's the longest serving prime 1.00

01:02:01.340 minister in the history of bangladesh and her party is the awami league and she is the daughter of

01:02:06.700 sheikh mujhbar raman the founding leader of bangladesh and its first president and her family

01:02:13.260 are known as the bangabandu family which is a term of respect for her father's role in the country

01:02:19.340 gaining independence so she entered politics after her father and much of her family were assassinated

01:02:26.060 in 1975 and then she became the leader of the awami league in 1981 and then served as prime minister for

01:02:34.620 the first time from 96 to 2001 so it's safe to say she's been a fixture of the country's politics

01:02:41.580 and her family have since its independence really yes it is this is tulip sadique's uh okay and uh

01:02:48.700 she's alleged to have disappeared her political opponents and so when tulip sadique was ever asked

01:02:54.220 about it she always says i'm not the mp for bangladesh even though she ships people over from bangladesh

01:02:58.620 to the irony yeah so i think part of what has happened here uh her beliefs she wanted a secular 0.69

01:03:05.900 state that did not um oppress the religious minorities and of course bangladesh is 91 muslim

01:03:11.980 and eight percent hindu with a small minority of buddhists and christians and she cracked down 0.51

01:03:18.940 pretty hard on islamic extremism and terrorism at least that's what people are saying you know i've

01:03:23.580 not been following bangladeshi politics closely but that is what the media is reporting and she

01:03:28.860 tried to seek to prevent sectarianism which uh is something that seems to be affecting a lot of

01:03:35.260 the world at the minute and how did all of this start how did it come to be that she was deposed

01:03:41.580 from her office so in july protests began against job reservations for the families of the the 1971

01:03:49.100 and this is their words war heroes which set the quotas that a certain portion of government jobs

01:03:54.300 would go to the families involved in the 1971 independence movement and it actually been halted

01:04:02.300 in 2018 after protests and then there was a petition from the 1971 families to the high court which then

01:04:09.100 reinstated the quotas because of course they wanted the nice cushy jobs right and then 0.87

01:04:13.900 the supreme court ordered that 93 of all government jobs would be allocated on merit

01:04:20.220 five percent would go for the these veterans and then the remaining two percent and i couldn't

01:04:25.260 believe it when i read this would be reserved for members of ethnic minorities transgender and

01:04:30.700 disabled people oh so uh even in bangladesh they've got dei but just for two percent i mean that sounds

01:04:38.700 kind of about right is it what percentage of the population is that i i don't know um i think it's

01:04:44.460 probably um i suppose the hindus are eight percent aren't they but then they might they might just be

01:04:49.900 a religious rather than ethnic thing who knows um but the protest began in dakar university as protests

01:04:55.580 often do at the universities that is and people were saying that it's unfair and that it should be

01:05:00.940 replaced with a merit-based system which i agree with actually yeah fair enough if you want a meritocracy

01:05:06.620 that i i respect that and then the protest grew and then people were killed in a back and forth

01:05:11.420 because both police and protesters were using uh live ammo so um at the beginning protests looked

01:05:17.500 more like this where that was like a music video it does doesn't it but michael jackson's about to start

01:05:25.580 yeah all you need is him in the middle there but it was just people marching around showing their

01:05:30.460 their distaste for this policy okay sorry you're getting a very dry mouth but i think that there

01:05:39.180 is also a vested interest because of course if they come from these families they're probably going to

01:05:44.860 share this secularization of bangladesh that perhaps the muslim majority don't want and i think that

01:05:51.260 perhaps is uh a bit misleading because i don't think they want it um and then things got a little bit more

01:05:57.420 violent here is a pretty large protest you can see fires and and things getting a bit more out of

01:06:03.500 hand people marching all in one direction towards things it's very difficult to know what's coming

01:06:08.620 out because the information coming from bangladesh isn't nearly as clear as it might be from a western

01:06:14.220 country and so i'm sort of having to read tea leaves a little bit but at the minute there's an interim

01:06:20.700 government led by this guy mohammed younis um and he is an entrepreneur banker and economist and worked 0.96

01:06:28.140 as a professor so he actually won the noble peace prize in 2006 for being a pioneer of micro credit

01:06:35.500 and micro financing which is basically where you provide very small loans to individuals and businesses

01:06:40.620 that might not otherwise able be able to get them which doesn't necessarily sound that bad although he

01:06:45.820 might well be profiting off of you know the destitute people in the country but offering them a

01:06:53.260 service i think is better than nothing right and he's also uh got a united states presidential

01:06:59.420 medal of freedom and the united states congressional gold medal from which president i don't know i

01:07:04.220 didn't look that up it will tell us a lot i don't think it was donald trump um and he will remain

01:07:10.140 until an election is held in the meantime but if they have another election that's true there's a

01:07:15.580 lot to be seen so what is interesting this is the political backdrop but what's been going on on the

01:07:21.580 streets is very very different so there have been attacks on hindu temples and homes in bangladesh

01:07:29.180 so we can see here um just the destruction and i've seen lots and lots of videos like this

01:07:35.180 of muslims going out and just attacking hindu minorities uh largely i think have been the 0.99

01:07:42.540 focus of their eye because of course um there's a little bit of tension with india being on their 0.99

01:07:48.060 border and so hindus of course being uh heretical religion to the mohammedans as you call them um 1.00

01:07:56.460 and so they they justify them as being a target there's tension wherever there are mohammedans let's

01:08:02.140 be honest that is true and what i'm seeking to show here is that uh the direction that the country

01:08:08.060 is going is further into islamism it seems yes exactly so this is what sparked off the rights in 1.00

01:08:13.820 our london streets then okay so obviously there's an element of islam cannot coexist with people of 1.00

01:08:22.460 other belief systems or anything really yeah itself certainly with uh civilization and they were

01:08:28.700 targeting things like hindu temples here so you cannot you see this is clearly a hindu temple

01:08:33.820 and they're going in and trying to smash it up hitting it with sticks and seeing all sorts of

01:08:37.980 destructive ideology isn't it i tell you what i find really infuriating like it i saw it in pakistan 0.88

01:08:44.380 where they dug up this many thousand year old buddhist statue it's a beautiful work of art and then

01:08:49.820 they started smashing it to bits because it was heretical it's just like any belief system whereby you

01:08:55.180 destroy things that have got obvious aesthetic beauty i'm not a buddhist i don't have any religious

01:08:59.820 reason i can just recognize the virtues in in the creation of the thing yeah and it shouldn't be

01:09:05.820 destroyed it's it's it completely numbs their mind so things got even more violent here so this is a

01:09:14.140 tower block which 24 people burnt alive in in bangladesh this is the extent to which they're willing to go

01:09:21.820 to be an absolute majority right and have no minority in their country and uh it's difficult

01:09:29.900 to tell how widespread this is um because a lot of the footage is lacking the context you need to be

01:09:36.460 able to make these sorts of judgments however this is what happens when islam becomes the predominant

01:09:41.740 faith yes here is an attack on a village here this is a largely hindu village in bangladesh and they were

01:09:49.180 setting fires and attacking hindus in their homes uh you can see out here look i've even got bars in 0.89

01:09:55.260 their windows people setting fires and and waiting for people to come out basically to do them harm

01:10:01.180 and this is uh you know this is what happens when you have a multicultural society isn't it

01:10:09.260 particularly with islam is that there is sectarian violence and normally the people who are in the

01:10:14.700 minority are the you know not the beneficiaries of this and this is you know part of the concern in

01:10:21.180 a lot of western countries as well that if more and more muslims carry on coming in and the native 1.00

01:10:27.180 population has a sub-replacement birth rate eventually people are going to become minorities in their own 0.97

01:10:32.940 countries and then this sort of thing will happen to you did you note robert jenrich's speech this week i

01:10:39.100 did yeah saying to ban alahu akbar yeah well he said we've got to cut down on sectarianism he kept

01:10:44.060 saying sectarianism i agree with him we need less of it yeah but he wouldn't identify the problem of 0.57

01:10:48.220 the sector the cause of the sectarianism which is the muhammadans like he would only go so far 1.00

01:10:53.900 yeah well there's it's interesting to me that there are lots of other ethnic minorities and religious

01:10:59.020 minorities in britain and it's quite often the muslims that are the ones that are turning out and up for a 1.00

01:11:04.140 scrap basically it says a lot about their their character doesn't it so this is blurred obviously

01:11:11.100 for um the sake of your innocence really um but we do have the the uncensored version if you're silly

01:11:18.860 enough to want to look for it um in the reading list but um i've insisted on having it blurred um

01:11:25.580 this is hanging the bodies of people they've killed by the ankles um from a bridge to display

01:11:31.420 to the rest of the community what happens if you oppose islam what brutes i know this is the kind 1.00

01:11:38.220 of thing that will be awaiting any country that gets a critical mass of islam because this is 0.99

01:11:43.980 this is a running trend throughout all countries that have a sizable enough population of muslims

01:11:49.660 that as soon as the opportunity arises they will um take their anger and frustration and their hatred

01:11:56.860 of people from other groups out on them as soon as they're able to but this is what i don't understand

01:12:02.780 josh we can see this evidence for ourselves all all around the world wherever islam becomes the 0.96

01:12:07.740 predominant faith and we know it was founded this way it's founded by a warmonger who would

01:12:12.300 kill people well they're reverted they're also encouraged to emulate the life of mohammed 1.00

01:12:17.100 so presumably they're going to then marry a nine-year-old marry a six-year-old well marry

01:12:21.980 consummate it and then getting it around the wrong way but it's evil it's disgusting yeah it is evil

01:12:27.900 and also the fact that mohammed went around spreading his message by killing people well it 0.99

01:12:33.500 couldn't be clearer um you know to follow the message of jesus is not to do that is it exactly

01:12:39.740 it's to do the opposite so i don't understand why the liberals are so in favor of this

01:12:43.500 nor do i it's it's sort of turning a blind eye it's also this idea of we've got to be so

01:12:48.860 um anti-racist as to ignore people who are an act of danger to the people around them but this is

01:12:56.300 not a race but if it was a race i would be racist against this race this is not a good thing this is

01:13:00.700 objectively evil it is yeah well if if your belief system leads you to harm other people because they

01:13:06.780 don't have your belief system you can't exist in a civilization it's impossible this is why no

01:13:13.100 predominantly islamic country is civilized in the way we would recognize it yeah well this is why the

01:13:17.740 middle east is always in turmoil there's always a crisis in the middle east because it's the 1.00

01:13:21.420 middle east and it's islamic it's ridiculous you also see you know these these countries in the 0.99

01:13:28.220 middle east that used to be running a more secular line yeah like syria um and and lebanon lebanon iran

01:13:35.260 yeah um and when that topples and it becomes an islamic state all of a sudden things go wrong so does it 1.00

01:13:43.260 look like bangladesh is going to become an islamic state it does seem like that's

01:13:47.500 almost certain to happen yes so there's more stuff here though um this has been unconfirmed there are

01:13:54.300 at least uh they've at least bound hindu women to these pillars with ropes what however there are 0.98

01:14:01.500 reports that they're being sold into slavery oh my gosh which i've not been able to confirm but

01:14:06.620 of course islam does approve of slavery um it's allowed in the quran anyone that's not a muhammadan 0.99

01:14:15.580 because they're not seen as they're seen as lesser people exactly yeah you know what i mean you only

01:14:19.260 need to look at libya for example a muslim country open slave markets in libya trading of sub-saharan 0.89

01:14:25.900 africans you don't hear that talked about very often uh by the uh you know people who care about

01:14:31.580 slavery reparations and things like that um but it's got to the point where hindu volunteers have

01:14:37.420 to stand guard of places where they live um to make sure none of the robberies um rapes murders

01:14:44.460 are taking place in their local area so here we can see them sort of hanging around waiting about

01:14:52.380 standing guard with weapons because there could be a muslim mob waiting to attack them as a christian

01:14:59.340 man i stand with the hindus of bangladesh so al jazeera is also reporting on this saying students

01:15:06.780 other muslims protect temples churches amid bangladesh unrest um i don't know about this

01:15:13.820 maybe some people are helping protect um temples and churches i imagine these are hindu temples and

01:15:19.820 christian churches because that would be who the muslims would go for right um so perhaps there are 1.00

01:15:26.300 people that are helping i don't know i've not been able to get much evidence you know what we should

01:15:30.220 do is just send out the uh stand up to racism lot with their placards they can go and stand up some

01:15:35.100 real racism and go that's true yeah i mean they're persecuting people uh who are an ethnic minority in

01:15:41.660 britain and uh finally um even the bbc is talking about this there is no law and order and hindus are being 0.96

01:15:50.060 targeted again so it is getting some traction in the mainstream press which i found interesting

01:15:55.660 because it's basically admitting that the muslim majority is going around and terrorizing people 1.00

01:16:02.300 of course this isn't going to be front page news for multiple different reasons but

01:16:06.860 it's certainly a good cautionary tale about the dangers of islam and growing populations of islam in 1.00

01:16:13.100 europe and north america 90 mohammedan there's no way that that's not going to topple there's no way 1.00

01:16:19.180 it's not going to become an islamic state now yeah even if it's put to a democratic vote it's still 0.96

01:16:24.220 going to become an islamic state isn't it so this is the last prime minister allegedly disappeared her

01:16:29.500 opponents but she was seen as a bit of a tyrant but it seems she was a tyrant for political reasons 1.00

01:16:34.140 because the other tyrants were even worse and it looks like the other tyrants are going to take over now

01:16:38.460 i could say something quite controversial here similar to assad maybe okay you could say that

01:16:44.060 but you didn't no i didn't um he was he did rule secularly and he did oppose islamic extremism

01:16:50.620 although in my opinion a lot of the people in that neck of the woods are bad people no matter which

01:16:55.980 faction they belong to right i don't really have to pick a side and nor do i want to so i will clarify

01:17:00.860 with that but the gist of my point here is be concerned about islam

01:17:06.060 so we've got one more um rumble rant before we go to video comments and then we've got plenty

01:17:13.740 time for some written website stuff uh chaos is fun says i'm so confused right now i enjoy listening

01:17:19.980 to calvin's commentary on subjects but now that i am far right and racist for liking british values

01:17:25.740 it's put me in a real dilemma embrace it brother because we're all far right now anyone who's british

01:17:31.020 is far right according to our government the police and the mainstream media all we can do is brush

01:17:34.940 it off and embrace it okay let's see what people have got to say elon memed

01:17:41.900 shut x down

01:18:01.420 i didn't know graham linnan appeared in the it crowd that was interesting cameo there he does cameos every

01:18:07.820 now and then growing up on the north devon coast as i did i was aware of the comings and goings of

01:18:14.380 ships at the key in bidderford mainly trading in china clay and the famous bidderford black ink just

01:18:19.500 as important to the north devon coast bristol and south wales was marine aggregate dredged up around

01:18:24.380 the british coastline and used for construction and reconstruction particularly important after

01:18:28.700 world war ii these two books are a charming history of the superior aggregate that could be recovered

01:18:33.740 from the bristol channel and the companies who strove to make a living from it i was introduced

01:18:38.220 to the book as part of the dull men's club on facebook and it was well worth the read

01:18:43.260 dull man's club on facebook love it my family are from north devon as well i was actually in bidderford

01:18:49.180 only a couple of weeks ago um driving through to have a game of golf which is incredibly middle

01:18:54.380 class of me did you get into any fights when we had scones in the kitchen about which way to to

01:18:59.660 cream i'm very militant about that yes that's what you might be very devonshire about it

01:19:04.140 in you guys isn't it the thing is uh people from devon and cornwall get along like 99 of the time

01:19:11.420 except when it comes to high tea and in which case the the knives come out yeah the bread knives the

01:19:17.420 butter knife

01:19:19.980 a gentleman's observations of swindon chapter 18 the 1970s saw the development of swindon's

01:19:23.900 transportation and leisure infrastructure in 1971 the opening of the m4 and swindon's junctions

01:19:27.980 15016 and the construction of the widened theater in 1972 the construction of the magic roundabout

01:19:32.540 the demolition of the original railway station and the construction of the modern station

01:19:35.820 and the addition of an a and e unit to princess margaret hospital in 1974 the construction of the

01:19:39.820 brunel shopping center in 1976 the construction of the oasis leisure center and the david murray

01:19:43.900 john tower the final project of mr swindon who oversaw swindon's post-world war ii expansion

01:19:48.300 additionally in 1974 the borough of swindon and high worth rural district were merged to become

01:19:52.060 the borough of thames down thank you i i do really enjoy these histories although

01:19:59.020 that's sort of a depressing one they tore down all of the nice stuff about swindon and built ugly

01:20:03.900 brutalist disgusting messes i have to see every day and demoralize me constantly i'm thankful i 0.70

01:20:11.580 only see it once a week because it's bad it's not nice is it i mean i grew up right on the edge of

01:20:16.540 the countryside in in plymouth and lived in bath before moving here so two very nice places and

01:20:23.420 now i live in one of the worst places right in the center which is the worst part of swindon

01:20:28.780 thing is we have no way of changing it we've a couple of people tried to stand for election

01:20:32.860 yeah well cancelled we have no democratic means of changing the suburbs are still nice here okay uh

01:20:40.860 mr fane scotty will will scold me if i don't say that you know there aren't some nice parts

01:20:46.540 so you see when you select an authority who will help you to improve yourself

01:20:56.220 it's like hiring the police

01:21:00.380 out of your tax money

01:21:04.380 and putting them in charge of seeing that you obey the law

01:21:09.580 i mean can't you take care of yourselves i mean is this the land of the free and the home of the brave

01:21:17.100 is that alan watts it sounds like him to me but it's not the land of the free and the home of

01:21:21.740 brave unfortunately not anymore no um yes i see so many pigeons these days that's another one of the

01:21:29.100 things that are thriving in swindon other than drug addicts pigeons seem to be doing very well

01:21:35.260 but um i appreciate you trying to do something a bit more relaxing there yeah pigeons is that all of the

01:21:40.220 the video comments it looks like it i think so okay so let's go to some written comments shall we

01:21:46.380 so um greg's cheese and beans pasty um i need some white pills after recent events so do i i've been

01:21:56.060 trying to look for positive news stories i've been looking constantly i spent all day the other day

01:22:02.380 looking for something positive to do and i just couldn't find it it's all buried it's draining

01:22:07.740 there was in all this negativity i'm so tired today it's like the constant barrage of bad news we need

01:22:12.860 a break from it all we do yeah i mean it's this is why it's important to have hobbies do stuff outside

01:22:18.540 of politics and and have things that make it all worth it in the end right i'm going on holiday on

01:22:23.820 sunday oh nice where are you going skiathos greece yes greek island sit there in the sun by the sea

01:22:31.260 and just chill out for a while have a nice time i'm going back down to to plymouth next week lovely

01:22:36.300 what's what's going on now have you got family there yeah i'm going to see my parents oh good

01:22:41.420 not exactly nearly as exciting going to a place where i grew up but that'll be lovely i hope so

01:22:47.100 so hector rex says father will you be growing out your afro uh again anytime soon not anytime soon 0.57

01:22:54.140 perhaps if not this winter next winter when it gets cold i might grow it but for now i'm happy with it

01:22:59.500 thank you you must get fed up with that question all the time i hear enough people ask you it

01:23:03.820 just when you're here no it's fine so on the topic of the english riots uh bleach demon says headline uh

01:23:11.180 storm troopers scare off the far right in other news englishman enjoys a pint at the local pub

01:23:16.060 has to avoid weirdos with placards yeah that's true bleach demon eloise says footage from bangladesh

01:23:23.660 has been so brutal and barbaric i can only imagine how terrified people must be feel so bad for them

01:23:28.220 yes um so do i it was it was tough to go through it all because i after covering all the riots in

01:23:35.740 britain for so long i could really see some parallels between the two it sort of gets to

01:23:41.820 you after a while robert longshaw says um slicing of the throat's a very traditional british way of

01:23:46.620 removing undesirables yeah they are showing themselves up with that aren't they warlord wutu 0.91

01:23:52.540 ty says uh poor old met chief he's probably desperate for any sort of win after that microphone

01:23:57.980 incident the other day yeah i don't feel too sorry for him to be honest um so zachary woodcock says i

01:24:05.820 was at one of the protests last saturday i talked to some of the patriot side and um the only talk of

01:24:11.980 another protest was next saturday not wednesday so it wouldn't surprise me if yesterday was a trap by

01:24:16.780 the security services that's interesting because yeah of course on a wednesday most patriots would be

01:24:21.180 working whereas the far left wouldn't yeah because of course they're dependents aren't they

01:24:25.340 they don't actually do anything productive holding signs believe it doesn't pay well no oh well

01:24:30.220 actually maybe it does um colin thompson says one thing about the bangla um bangladesh um for some

01:24:36.380 reason these segments have merged together in the comments is i'm pretty sure there's a bunch of

01:24:40.940 exclaves of india within it and vice versa and maybe a few enclaves inside each exclave as well

01:24:46.300 i don't remember exactly what the case is so if s really really hits the fan that might cause a

01:24:52.540 little problem i don't know well we're already seeing that to a certain extent aren't we where

01:24:56.620 they're having to police their own areas out of fear of danger um ash f says it feels like the british

01:25:05.500 public has just been gobbled and mind starmer has just uh recruited a left-wing mob into his brown shirt

01:25:12.460 brigade it does feel like that i'm sick and tired of not just the the riots and stuff but the

01:25:17.580 manipulation so would you like to read some of your comments uh roman observer says nudge unit is

01:25:24.380 typical british understatement ministero della cultura populari minister ministry of popular culture is the

01:25:31.580 way to go yeah i agree with that geroen van calcoran says it's international we in the netherlands got the

01:25:39.340 same news about 100 riots last night what i'm gonna look that up because that's crazy

01:25:45.660 stephen merrill it's a two-tier anti-racist march with palestinian not english flags

01:25:51.740 it wasn't attacked by the violent far-right odd that natives march against grooming or girls being

01:25:57.660 stabbed or blown up at a pop concert they get attacked by machete gangs good point about the 1.00

01:26:03.100 flags patriots always have english flags uk flags the so-called anti-racist flags anti-racist gangs

01:26:10.220 only had gaza flags yeah it's it's either palestinian uh i've seen some trade unionist flags

01:26:16.700 and and also some rainbow flags so it's it's like the um union of hell itself has just appeared on earth

01:26:24.620 it used to be the case you only needed to own a few name uh news agencies to control the narrative

01:26:29.660 but then some absolute mad lad bought twitter that's omar award it is but we can't rely on this

01:26:35.100 one guy and actually elon's not that conservative yes he believes in free speech yes he's anti-woke

01:26:40.140 so he's aligned with us on some stuff but we can't just rely on him we need we need to make sure that

01:26:44.380 all of these platforms are regulated in the same way or deregulated i think elon also amplifies a lot

01:26:51.740 of unhelpful accounts accounts that i think are potentially actually pushing real fake news not just

01:26:59.980 you know the ones that the mainstream media are on about like i've seen lots of accounts like ian

01:27:04.700 miles chong or end wokeness these these really big accounts that get boosted by elon posting genuinely

01:27:11.100 misleading stuff that um is detrimental to our movement and i think these these news aggregator

01:27:17.100 accounts as i call them the ones that just aggregate news and tweet it out for their own

01:27:22.540 personal gain ultimately are really really not helpful ollie london is another one as well he does

01:27:28.140 the same thing where he's just profiting off of of sharing other stuff right this is the problem with

01:27:34.860 an unregulated market but then the regulators are also the problem so uh polyphemus monocle says looks

01:27:42.460 like don't look back in anger is back on the menu boys i don't know rue the day says i shan't be

01:27:49.420 getting over the inflammatory information phrasing why would truth be inflammatory because they don't

01:27:55.980 want you to know it and they'll get in trouble if you do and big d said that aina wilhet calling for

01:28:04.380 the banning of social media isn't even british as british system she is portuguese according to her

01:28:09.500 businesses on company's house always that isn't it actually ridiculous foreign for tax purposes eh

01:28:15.980 yeah uh so if you live well the regulars even danish papers post articles about the kardashians

01:28:24.540 as if it has anything to do with danish news it is insufferable pop culture news is insufferable to be

01:28:30.380 honest though that's true although on twitter i have a ban on certain public figures names because you can

01:28:37.420 ban certain words or post with certain words in so i've got kardashian and all of their clan and all

01:28:43.740 their associates because i don't want to see it it's just a waste of my time i used to block fbpe

01:28:49.820 i used to that word anyone with that in their name was just an idiot to start with

01:28:53.660 yeah have a go have a go at it with the revolution sure so ewan baker says um iran is looking to i think

01:29:00.140 it was iraq um is looking to change the age of marriage from 15 to 9 yes um i believe it was iraq or at

01:29:06.300 least it's being reported as so someone online says there's not going to be any buddhist or christians

01:29:10.860 left in bangladesh soon that's true i did try and find some examples of christians being persecuted but

01:29:16.220 i simply couldn't find it i think the sort of uh information black hole yeah yeah so um anonymity

01:29:25.660 says the uk has islamic boarding schools kids enter about 6 or 11 and leave at 18 or 19 or even later the

01:29:32.860 problem of islamic violence will be worse in five years well didn't tony blair was it tony blair set

01:29:38.620 up faith schools where you you could basically uh have your own independent islamic schools

01:29:45.820 and i think that that was the thing that got the ball rolling absolutely just breed extremists

01:29:50.380 and one final one um from lars petter simonson says it is notable that when muslims of burma

01:29:57.900 i refuse to use the military junta name we're being driven out the news all spoke of a genocide

01:30:05.180 well that's a nice depressing note to end on i suppose observation yeah um but yes um thank you

01:30:12.140 very much for watching make sure to tune into common sense crusade in half an hour's time and thank you

01:30:17.420 calvin thank you josh and uh thank you for watching and goodbye god bless
