	Well, I'll tell you what, it's been an exciting couple of weeks, hasn't it?
	Sorry that I haven't been able to do more updates like this, but my goodness, there's been a lot going on.
	Before I get into what's happening, I just want to tell you about what I'm about to do next.
	So tomorrow, I will be in Weymouth for my MEP campaign, Sargon's anti-fascist parade around the southwest.
	I'll be at the Jubilee clock at 12pm onwards until 4pm.
	I'd be happy to debate absolutely everyone and anyone, particularly activists for other ideologies, as I always do.
	The next day, I will be in Bournemouth at the square from midday until 5 o'clock.
	And then on Sunday, I will be at Salisbury at 12 o'clock at the Guildhall Square.
	Again, I'll be there all afternoon to talk about any of the issues that anyone wants to discuss.
	Please do come down and give me hell if you don't like me or ask me questions or just tell me how you feel about things if you're just interested in getting involved.
	And if you'd like to, oh, I don't know, maybe email the local press or something to let them know I'm going to be there and make sure that they understand that there is a popular interest about having these kind of public debates, then please do let them know.
	On my live stream channel, I've been uploading the full three-hour long events themselves, unedited, so you can just watch the whole thing as if you were there in person because I appreciate that a lot of people can't make it.
	Again, I will link all of this in the description.
	I also do have some bad news.
	My entire channel has been demonetized, which means I can no longer make money off this channel.
	Yes, that probably does mean that I am on some kind of YouTube watch list, and that it is probably inevitable that this channel will be eventually deleted.
	So I would definitely recommend that you follow me on BitChute, which is a YouTube alternative that is essentially like BitTorrent for videos.
	I've got nearly 30,000 subscribers on there, and I honestly think that that'll probably be the best place to find my videos.
	Although, I do also have an account on minds.com, and I recommend you follow me on any of these platforms that you find convenient.
	As a replacement for Twitter, I've been using Telegram.
	I don't know how well you can see it there, but it's actually really good.
	I really, really like it.
	It's got a direct messaging function and a public channel function.
	Again, I'll leave the public channel in the description, obviously.
	And I definitely recommend you follow me there because Milo was kind enough to set me up a bot that gave me a bunch of new features on it so I can actually make quite engaging and interesting posts.
	So it's good content, basically.
	And whenever something happens, it's a lot quicker to post it to there than it is to make a video or something like that.
	So it's a very quick way of getting in touch or, and you can leave comments, obviously, and finding out what I'm doing.
	I'm really enjoying it.
	I'm using it a lot.
	And I don't feel like it's got the kind of unhealthy atmosphere that Twitter has.
	So I really, really recommend it, especially as it's outside of Silicon Valley.
	But then so is BitChute and so is Minds.
	So I'd strongly recommend following me on any of these platforms at the moment.
	And of course, on Gap.
	I'll find clips from the live shows and put them up as and when.
	It's just that, you know, when you've got hours of footage, I just haven't had time to do it.
	Everything's moving too fast.
	If anyone else wants to go and find clips of cool bits from the live discussions and then send them to me so I can upload them to my main channel or something like that, I'd be eternally grateful because honestly, I just don't have the time.
	And I don't have the time because of what I've been getting up to.
	Here's a clip from when I was on the BBC Sunday Politics.
	But I think that it's rather laughable to say that the Conservatives are going to deliver Brexit.
	Well, we're all waiting.
	Where is it?
	I don't actually want to have to stand for an office.
	I didn't go to the right schools.
	I don't have the right connections.
	I'm not part of the Westminster Consensus.
	And yet I have to because of the way that the Conservatives are mishandling it.
	And I mean, Anne Whitticomb's comments are Anne Whittakham's comments, and she's got many interesting comments and opinions of her own.
	But of course, that's what they would say because they're our opposition.
	So I don't really take it with any great deal of credibility.
	But to be honest with you, no one really seems to understand why we're doing any of this.
	The people of Britain voted for self-determination.
	The people who were on the other side of that argument have to come to terms with the fact that they lost that argument.
	They just have to own it.
	I want to move on, but just again to you, Molly, you should accept the referendum.
	This is totalitarianism.
	This is there's only to be one view.
	In any democracy, there will be multiple views.
	It's my job to represent people and then have a majority who think we should.
	But elections resolve them.
	Shouldn't this referendum at least be implemented for a time?
	Definitely not, because it was won through criminality and lying.
	But even if it hadn't been, this idea of honouring a referendum that happened three years ago is just a really bizarre thing.
	The situation's moved on.
	Brexit means something different from what was promised.
	And people have changed their minds.
	So that's three reasons why we should have another vote now.
	I absolutely love that.
	That's totalitarianism.
	Implementing the result of a democratic referendum to Molly is totalitarianism.
	And then when she goes off on her pre-spun narrative about illegal and criminal and all that, I love the way the host just waves his hand.
	Come on, Molly, that's nonsense.
	Just dismiss her narrative completely.
	There is a democratic duty to implement the result of the referendum, and she is anti-democratic because she's trying to undermine that, and she is actually damaging the country.
	Isn't that amazing?
	I love what I get them to say.
	Easily the best bit of the Sunday politics show was when they got in a joke expert to tell everyone whether my comments were a joke or not.
	Dr. Simon Weaver is an academic researching offensive jokes.
	He is using a humorous mode.
	He is being ironic.
	You know, he isn't offering literal description or communication.
	So he is engaged in joking.
	Is there a more blatant way of saying that the elite class of this country are totally out of touch than getting an academic to research offensive jokes to tell them that I was joking?
	And yet, they still carry on.
	Because of the media narratives surrounding UKIP and myself, as in The Dirty Smears, various places that have been hosting debates known as hustings have been de-platforming us because that's how democracy works.
	If you don't like someone's opinion or if you don't like a party's candidate, you don't invite them.
	That's democracy in this country.
	Today, there was a debate in the southeast.
	This is what one of the candidates said.
	A referendum is a tool of dictatorship Therefore, we need another referendum.
	The remain narrative is insane.
	And I can see why they need to de-platform us because there is no way they could win an argument against us.
	And what I did today was go on the Victoria Derbyshire program.
	Now, you might remember this as the program that Jess Phillips has been on so often to cry her crocodile tears.
	Well, I know that Victoria Derbyshire doesn't think it went very well because she's busy retweeting articles that support her narrative.
	For example, this one.
	Victoria Derbyshire brilliantly exposes Carl Benjamin over his rape comments.
	So there is a link you say between language and acts of violence.
	When have I ever said that people can't be incited to violence?
	Let's have a look at a clip.
	Why do you think you've had kippers and milkshakes thrown over you while campaigning?
	Because you're radicalising people by lying about me.
	So there is a link, you say, between language and acts of violence?
	There is a link between telling lies about someone in the press.
	And you don't seem to have any duty of care over this at all.
	and the things that they're trying to do because they don't know the link between language, between rhetoric, those acts of violence.
	Yes, but you're not telling jokes.
	Are you telling jokes?
	No, because I was telling a joke.
	It was very clearly contextually a joke.
	This is why you have to decontextualise it in order for what you're saying to make sense.
	You sound like a hypocrite.
	I don't care.
	It's a joke.
	Because when you're a hypocrite.
	When you're the target, you blame the words on newspapers or the media.
	But when you target someone by attaching their name to your rape joke, that's okay.
	Yeah, but I'm not inciting people.
	You are inciting people.
	You're normalising.
	Every single person I've spoken to about the things that you have said about me don't understand any of it.
	And if I just sit there and normalise these.
	And if you're not going to be able to see people who are alleging things about me, I can just sit there and explain to them the context and they go, well, that's not very important, is it?
	You're normalising this kind of language.
	Here is my question.
	I'm normalising comedy because at this point comedy is under attack in this country.
	Here is a compliment.
	I mean, I'm being investigated for a joke.
	I can name other comedians who are being investigated for jokes.
	We have gone down a very dark path.
	As Orwell says printed on the front of this building, if liberty is to mean anything at all, it must mean the right to tell people that which they don't want to hear.
	Do you stand by that or not?
	This is the BBC.
	Does the BBC stand by that or not?
	Here are some comments from your social Twitter pages after your video.
	Now to me, that didn't sound like me being brilliantly exposed.
	That sounded like me demolishing her completely, which I did throughout the rest of that interview, which is why she's retweeting things that support her narrative and why left-wing outlets are now pumping out articles that suggest that she won.
	There'll be a link in the description to all of this.
	Please feel free to watch it at your leisure.
	I think you'll enjoy it.
	Victoria Derbyshire brilliantly exposes Carl Benjamin over his rape comments.
	So there is a link you say between language and acts of violence.
	I've never denied it.
	It depends on the language and depends on the context.
	Like I said in the interview, if it's a joke, that's not incitement.
	If you are lying about something someone has said, that quite well could be.
	But this is literally how they report it.
	Derbyshire hit back, so there's a link you say between language and acts of violence.
	As if nothing else was said.
	He later added that he didn't care whether he was a hypocrite.
	Well, I don't think I am a hypocrite.
	I think these are two different things.
	You can't point to a single person who hasn't at some point been a hypocrite, but that doesn't change the fact that she's lying.
	And thankfully, I got to tell her to her face.
	But as I said, link in the description.
	And very pleased with that interview.
	She definitely didn't walk away the winner, which is why they have to print all of these articles all of a sudden.
	I'll see if I can get a copy of it to put up on my channel as well.
	Honestly, there has been so much media printed about me of late that I really can't keep up with it all.
	I just don't have time.
	And like I said, tomorrow, we're out again for another three days in a row.
	Do come out and see me if you're interested.
	Tell your friends and family to come down and also join us because we'll be having some interesting discussions, actual political dialogue.
	Oh, I didn't even tell you about how we got attacked in Tottenham.
	We got attacked by a massive, ravenous mob of whipped-up lefties who slashed our tires on our van, just so you know.
	What's really interesting about this is I've never said that there isn't a connection between rhetoric and violence.
	I'm saying there's no connection between jokes and violence, but if she thinks that this is a gotcha, then by her own standards, she condemns herself.
	She admits that she is inciting violence against me.
	Will she be held to account?
	Will she, hell?
	Because it's acceptable to incite violence to some people as long as they hold the wrong opinions.
	I honestly do recommend you watch some of these interviews I've been doing.
	They've been going rather well.
	And please do come out to all of the various dates that, again, I'll leave links in the description and in the comments.
	Bring your friends and family.
	We're going to be having a dialogue about whatever contemporary political issues that people want to talk about.
	I'm going to let you drive the conversation.
	We'll have a nice discussion.
	And thank you to everyone who has supported me.
	We've had some massive turnouts.
	In Plymouth, we had well over 200 people.
	It was genuinely incredible.
	And obviously, this annoyed all the right people.
	And the Plymouth one will be up tomorrow.
	So again, all the relevant links will be in the descriptions.
	But really, folks, honestly, it really means the world to me that you support me doing all of this.
	I'm not going to lie, it's not been not stressful.
	But it's okay.
	I'm okay.
	I'll be okay.
	If you do want to support my channel, you can, of course, support me on Subscribestar.
	Because naturally, I'm being politically persecuted because I'm challenging the system.
	I probably will end up losing my channel doing this.
	I definitely recommend that you follow me on other platforms.
	I think I have to keep going.
	I don't think I'm going to win, but I do have to keep going.
	Because it's making the mask slip.
	They are not tolerant.
	They are not intellectually curious.
	They don't want diversity of opinion.
	What they want is conformity.
	And if you're not going to conform, they will crush you.
	And I will prove it.
