| Hello and welcome to Gareth Ike tonight. | |
| The war on culture continues in the United Kingdom. | |
| I know what you're thinking. | |
| British culture? | |
| I didn't think such a thing existed. | |
| Isn't your favourite dish chicken tikka masala? | |
| Isn't the most popular boy's name in Britain Mohammed? | |
| There's no such thing as British culture, mate. | |
| Never has been. | |
| It's a myth. | |
| In fact, there's no such thing as native Britons. | |
| Full stop. | |
| Just ask Cheddar Man. | |
| Open your borders and your wallets and shut your mouths. | |
| Kind regards, the uni party. | |
| Well, despite the rhetoric of the likes of the parasite class and their lapdog mouthpiece media, there is a British culture and the consistently under fire hospitality sector is very much part of it. | |
| Beers, banter, dark humour. | |
| That's an integral part of what it is to be British. | |
| It's something the English, Welsh, Irish and Scots all have in common. | |
| We like a beer, we like a laugh and we deal with adversity through humour. | |
| We laugh in the devil's face because we know nothing upsets the devil more than watching us smile. | |
| The traditional public house goes back over 2,000 years and maybe apart from the number of swords propped up against the bar, very little has changed in the centuries since. | |
| It's where we go to socialise, to network, to put the world to rights, to expand our knowledge because there's always someone that knows something you don't, no matter how many letters you got after your name. | |
| Pubs, and indeed socialising, have been in the gun sites for years, with taxation being the main form of assault, pricing people out of drinking in pubs, encouraging them instead to stay home and drink. | |
| And that way, the only knowledge they'll garner while sculling a few beers is the state-approved knowledge that's allowed to get beyond the Ofcom censors and onto the propaganda box in the corner of the lounge. | |
| But during COVID, the assault went from subtle to as subtle as a pint in the face. | |
| You weren't priced out from the pub, you were banned from going. | |
| And the pubs were banned from opening. | |
| Other social venues like gyms and sports clubs, they were also banned. | |
| Peniel Gland Calcifying Fast Food Multinationals, they were still open for business, of course. | |
| Then the pubs were allowed to reopen, but only once they'd spent a fortune of the money they hadn't been making for months and months of lockdown to make their establishments COVID compliant. | |
| Anti-social screens erected at great expense to the landlords and landladies, but they needn't worry. | |
| It'd be Christmas soon, wouldn't it? | |
| And they get to make up for all those months of lost takings with a bumper holiday period. | |
| Of course they would. | |
| The country had been locked down for months on end, so of course the public would come out in their droves to frequent the public houses of Britain. | |
| The government had talked it up. | |
| They talked up the potential of a successful Christmas. | |
| And the breweries and independent pub owners had rushed out to load up on additional stock in preparation. | |
| And then, what did the Prime Minister, the Eton Mess, Boris Johnson do? | |
| Well, he locked the country back down again, didn't he? | |
| On Christmas Eve. | |
| A coincidence? | |
| I think not. | |
| Over 10,000 licensed premises closed down during 2020 and they never reopened. | |
| But once the pubs that had managed to survive did reopen, everything changed in terms of the resistance to the COVID tyranny. | |
| Because people were no longer locked away in their house with only the TV as the Ministry of Truth. | |
| They spoke to other people. | |
| They compared notes. | |
| They realised they'd been played and they didn't like it. | |
| And so the protest movement went from a few hundred of us in a park to a few hundred thousand of us on the streets. | |
| And that's a problem. | |
| To the establishment. | |
| And that's why the war on pubs has continued ever since. | |
| After COVID, the cost of living crisis and the astronomical energy prices did for another 500 plus pubs in 2023. And pub closures in 2024 were upward of 50 closures a month. | |
| Banking behemoth Santander was on the end of a backlash last week for putting the boot in yet again into the pub industry by telling people, ditch the pub, ditch the pub, mate, you can overpay on your mortgage instead. | |
| Presumably the publicans, they'll be unable to afford to overpay on theirs, of course. | |
| And then this week, the authoritarian Labour Party, led by owl-faced moron and trilateral commission member Chairman Starmer, added even more insult to injury. | |
| The Labour Party's new workers' rights reforms are sold as a protective measure to stop workplace harassment. | |
| But as with anything the political class do, that's just the sales pitch gets the jackboot in the door. | |
| The reason I know it's a sales pitch and not an empathetic measure to help eradicate work-based harassment is for me to believe the latter I would need to be of the opinion that the party that freezes pensioners, ignores the victims of grooming gangs and throws people to rot in prison cells for social media posts actually cares about people. | |
| Yeah, I'm not going along with that. | |
| The Equalities Watchdog has warned the government rules could disproportionately curtail freedoms and could even extend to overheard conversations. | |
| Now, there's no could-do about it. | |
| It's the whole idea. | |
| If they can't stop all of us meeting up and conversing, then they want to at least be able to limit the conversation. | |
| They want the population at such a point of fear and confusion as to what is and what isn't acceptable to say that they say nothing. | |
| The terminology used in the reforms is purposely vague, so it basically covers everything. | |
| Sharing your philosophical belief, which is a posh way, of course, of saying opinion, could offend and be considered a harassment of a particular individual. | |
| Quote, A philosophical belief may include religious beliefs, views on women's and transgender rights, as well as political ideology and ethical veganism. | |
| Okay, so you can't discuss anything then. | |
| Can we still talk about football? | |
| Yeah, just don't mention anything about players taking a knee or biological men competing in women's sports, because that's off limits. | |
| Now, the answer to this, of course, is simple. | |
| What we do is we read the reforms, we study the small print, we make sure we're fully educated on what we are absolutely not allowed to say. | |
| And then we say it anyway. | |
| In the words of Aldous Huxley, liberties are not given, they're taken. | |
| And that's true. | |
| The state doesn't give us our freedoms. | |
| We take them and we hold them tight. | |
| Because the state can't actually take our freedoms, not unless we're willing to part with them. | |
| And there is nothing on this green earth that would make me do that. | |
| The most evil ideology I have ever, ever studied. | |
| It essentially is hostile to humanity. | |
| They own everything. | |
| We have nothing. | |
| They are absolutely hostile to humans. | |
| They seek to control every aspect of our lives, every movement, every purchase, where we live, how we live, how we procreate, if we procreate. | |
| Everything is governed by them, and they see themselves. | |
| The most dangerous aspect of this is that they see themselves as God. | |
| This week on Gareth Ike Tonight, independent broadcaster and podcaster Shannon Joy is on the line from upstate New York to discuss the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump, the real cause of the LA wildfires and the cynical rebranding of the likes of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg as champions for humanity. | |
| And Martin Davis and Earl Jesse of UK Freedom Alliance join us to explain what the new Climate and Nature Bill is. | |
| The CAN Bill is passing through the UK Parliament with... |
