	Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
	Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Monday, the 22nd of March 2021.
	I'm joined by Callum.
	And before we begin talking about the various lockdown protests, and of course, how memes have been illegal, been made illegal in the UK, certain memes, of course.
	We have a wonderful premium article on Notices.com about how the military-industrial complex in the United States works.
	Now this comes from an insider from the military intelligence community who has spoken to us on condition of anonymity.
	So we've called him James for the purpose of the article, but that is not his name.
	And there are a couple of really interesting quotes.
	It's very revealing how he thinks that basically it's not ideological and it's almost all about the money.
	Everyone's profiting from the military-industrial complex.
	And so the word efficient isn't in their vocabulary, but the word effective is.
	And all the way down, it's all about profits from an active war zone.
	It's really, really worth your time reading and I found it absolutely enlightening.
	But anyway, let's go on to the worldwide lockdown protests.
	Now, these happened all over the world this weekend.
	You wouldn't have really heard about this on the media, because why would they want to tell you that all around the world people are saying, hang on a second, isn't it wrong for the government to, in fascist style, confine us to our homes and shut down our businesses and take total control of the country?
	And a regular liberal-minded person might say, yes, that does sound wrong.
	But of course, our governments aren't run by regular liberal-minded people.
	Anyway, here's the first one, which is Switzerland, big anti-COVID protest.
	And the next one is Serbia.
	And the next one is in Portugal.
	And the next one is in Montreal, Canada.
	And there was one in New York City, in America as well.
	Anti-mask, anti-lockdown protest.
	Now, I don't even know where these are being organized.
	Did you see any of this organization on social media?
	No.
	So it all gets deleted.
	Yeah.
	So how did these people know that these protests were going on?
	Because I didn't know that there was something going on.
	The word of mouth people you know, I guess.
	I guess so.
	Anyway, so let's get to the one in London.
	Because we're going to talk about that one.
	So this is a video from Anna Breeze.
	She posted this video on...
	Not that one, John.
	It's just the Twitter link.
	It's not a clip.
	But if we can...
	Get up.
	But she was there reporting.
	She's an ex-ITV reporter.
	And from the video, it's obvious that there are many, many thousands of people who are at the protest.
	From my own judgment, having been at very large protests in London, I've been at the various EU ones, I've been at various Day Freedom and Hour ones, things like that.
	I mean, that looks like it would be roughly 10,000 people.
	It's very, very densely packed, very consistent past the cenotaph and going on down.
	So, I mean, that's a very large protest.
	You can see there's just people walking by and there's obviously people further on.
	So I would say somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 people.
	The BBC first reported this as hundreds, which, I mean, is technically true.
	I mean, you could describe that number as in the hundreds.
	Wouldn't be very useful.
	Tens of hundreds.
	Yeah, tens of hundreds of people.
	How many?
	Well, about 5,000 hundreds.
	Anyway...
	So, the reason people are protesting is, of course, because we're still under a lockdown, even though it doesn't really seem to be very justified at the moment.
	According to NHS England, 20 million people more than have been vaccinated at this point, which is apparently 45.4% of the population aged 16 and over, and most of those, of course, being the elderly.
	That's ending the 14th of March.
	Yes.
	Much beyond that, probably mere about 50% now.
	Probably, yeah.
	It's probably, yeah, exactly.
	It's just the latest statistics that I could find on the NHS website.
	And so if we go to the government's coronavirus data tracker, if you scroll down so people can see the graphs, you know, you've got to admit that it looks like the vaccines have done the job.
	Look at the plummet in virus, people getting the virus, which is 5,000 daily, and then 33 people died yesterday within 28 days of a positive test of the coronavirus.
	So it seems that there's no good justification for keeping us in lockdown now.
	It seems that the government won.
	They did it.
	Yeah, take the W. Yeah, take the win!
	It's okay, you know?
	There's the thing as well.
	These people protesting are not necessarily arguing about, oh, therefore everything should go back to normal.
	It's just the point of like, well, we're still in a complete lockdown.
	Why can we not open restaurants again with social distancing measures?
	You know, you can only book the table with people from your household or something like this.
	Or just non-essential businesses.
	I know, but why not even that small step there?
	Why has there been nothing?
	Why is it still closed?
	Yeah, it's draconian.
	And so people were out protesting, and good on them.
	On Saturday, things started getting rough in Hyde Park.
	Here's independent journalist Steve Laws documenting the police kicking a guy on the ground.
	According to his report, he says before the incident occurred, the event was entirely peaceful.
	The police arrived at Hyde Park while the protest was winding down with only a few hundred remaining.
	One young woman named Jasmine who witnessed the police officer Bruce Lee kicking an innocent protester said, I can't believe what I've just seen.
	He kicked that poor man.
	He did nothing wrong.
	Today's anti-lockdown protest was attended by thousands of people, according to Steve, and they peacefully marched around London to oppose the draconian lockdown measures.
	Fairly sensible.
	Like, normal people, normal citizens, doing normal, non-violent protests, and of course one of them had to be given a kicking by the cops.
	Which is inappropriate.
	And you'll notice the difference between that and the police brutality of the vigil about the lady who was murdered by a police officer.
	Yes, no one got kicked.
	Which they just grabbed her, put her in cuffs, and dragged her out.
	They weren't kicking people or hitting them with battants.
	No, it was remarkable leniency in the face of them violating the COVID lockdown.
	This was extreme police brutality that the Labour Party must do something about, and this is nothing.
	This is just some guy getting kicked.
	He's not a feminist activist, so who cares about him?
	Anyway, the Telegraph gives us a quick rundown of it.
	At least 36 people were arrested at the anti-lockdown protest because of violations of COVID rules.
	This came after 60 MPs and peers signed a letter warning that allowing the police to criminalise people for protesting is not acceptable and is arguably not lawful.
	Yes, well, I mean, I'm sure the kind of government that doesn't want people protesting would probably outlaw protesting, wouldn't they?
	Anyway, the police generally walked with the protesters along their route along Oxford Street, heading up to Whitehall.
	Among those who attended the march were controversial actor Lawrence Fox and Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy.
	I love the way that Piers Corbyn isn't considered controversial there.
	I mean, I like Peter Corbyn.
	I like controversy.
	But yeah, so the crowds gathered in trial square were dispersed while the demonstrators returned to Hyde Park, which is where the guy got kicking.
	Police were met with more hostile responses there later in the evening, apparently, as protesters threw bottles and cans at them, and some officers were forced to run back to their vans.
	A group of around 100 chased police vehicles, punching and kicking them as they left the area, which is obviously unacceptable.
	Members of the public left the park, small children were carried by their parents, around 100 police officers wearing riot helmets and carrying shields, then arrived and urged people to go home.
	As the Met Police tweeted out, by 1645, 33 people had been arrested, most for breaching COVID regulations.
	And here's a picture of one of the dreadful COVID regulation violators.
	Yep, that's right.
	How dare you, Granny?
	Don't you know it's for your own good that you're not allowed to go outside?
	We're doing this for you.
	Hmm.
	Very reminiscent of the Capitol riots, whereas the little old lady with her mask pulled below the thing with the little American flag wandering around, it's like, ah yes, the insurrectionists have arrived.
	I mean, all I'm saying is when little old ladies are the enemies of the state, perhaps it's the state that's in the wrong.
	But the state in this case is doing it to protect little old ladies.
	Yes.
	Anyway, yesterday on Sunday, there were more protests in Hyde Park, but it was only about 20 people.
	And the police came down and broke them up, apparently.
	The BBC's coverage of the events of the weekend was as disappointing as one might have imagined.
	Initially, the report was hundreds, but clearly this wasn't a tenable lie.
	So they changed it to thousands of people who have attended anti-protest lockdowns.
	And according to BBC correspondent Marianna Spring, who was reporting from a protest, she said the atmosphere was animated and a number of people appear to be angry about the restrictions on peaceful protest.
	How unreasonable.
	Uh...
	The PA media reported that some members of the public left the park and carried to the parents.
	The anti-lockdown protest came after a vigil following the death of Sarah Everard in London, which saw last week we saw arrests where police enforced COVID and public order laws.
	I've seen very few demonstrators wearing masks and there's no attempt at social distancing.
	Well, there wasn't any of the other ones.
	Why is this surprising or unique?
	Especially as this is an explicitly anti-lockdown protest.
	An anti-mask protest.
	But anyway, so far the police who are here in large numbers have been taking a hands-off approach.
	How disappointing to the BBC. Among the crowd, there are undoubtedly some conspiracy theorists with some accusing the mainstream media of pushing fake news.
	Well, I mean, your initial headline for this was hundreds of people arrived that you changed to thousands because that was an obvious lie.
	But those people who have called out your obvious lie are just conspiracy theorists.
	I just wanted to say, like, yeah, there are undoubtedly some conspiracy theorists when you've got tens of thousands of people protesting something.
	Oh, God, look, there's a conspiracy theorist over there.
	So what?
	What's the point?
	I bet there are people who play Warhammer 40k in that crowd.
	Exactly.
	Okay.
	Exactly.
	Big deal.
	But anyway, the reason people accuse the mainstream media of pushing fake news is because they do.
	Anyway, one woman who did not want to be named said, I had COVID myself last March, but this lockdown is too much.
	Because it is.
	You've had COVID. I've had COVID. Well, I never got it confirmed.
	Yeah, but you probably did have it.
	Okay.
	Well, let's be real.
	You were off for, what, three or four days?
	No, it was like two weeks.
	Two weeks, was it?
	With a really, really rough flu.
	That's probably it.
	Because that's what it is, a really rough flu.
	But yeah, so that's the events in London, which, all things considered, I think could have gone a lot worse, considering the number of people there and the kind of mentality of the progressive police of vice and virtue...
	I'm actually surprised that it didn't go worse and that the police didn't put the boot in more and that more batons weren't thrown around and more conspiracy theorists weren't arrested or charged and fined.
	But what was it, like three days before that, you had the socialists out there campaigning on, what was it, Kill the Bill in Parliament Square.
	You had them at the vigil as well the night before.
	And in both of those instances, the police didn't use their batons, the police didn't use any real force at all.
	And so there was a completely light touch of, like, we will intervene if we have to, and that's it.
	Very much.
	But in this case, seemingly quite happy to pull out the batons, which, huh, I just find that strange.
	It's just interesting, isn't it, how there's one political wing that's in favour of the progressive order, and there's another political wing that's not in favour of the progressive order, and the one that are in favour never get the boot, and the one that are against the favour always get the boot.
	The group against the progressive order here, the anti-lockdown protest, if they were burning stuff down or attacking people in the streets...
	Wouldn't have lasted five minutes.
	Then I would expect the police to react, but then you've got to because you are under attack as well.
	Yes.
	And it would be improper not to act.
	And speaking of it being improper not to act, what happened in Bristol?
	Socialist riots.
	I'm just going to say that and I'm not going to apologize for it.
	I see so many people on Twitter right now from the left arguing that no, no, this was just an anti-bill protest.
	This is just about getting rid of this bill that we don't like and suspiciously only the Labour Party is concerned about.
	Yeah, okay, well.
	Anyway, this is also to pre-affluence this.
	I don't like the bill either.
	I think some of the sections of the bill seem stupid.
	Like the idea of making a...
	Needlessly authoritarian.
	Yeah, like the quotes in there.
	We've covered this before.
	Like the, what was it?
	Serious annoyance, for example, can be a reason to shut down a protest.
	And I don't go to many protests.
	I don't care about them that much.
	But I think it should be something you should protect.
	Yeah, that sucks, because the only reason I ever go to protest is to cause serious incidents.
	That's the best bit about protesting, is when the council protests turn up, you wind them up.
	Yeah, so there's some stupid stuff in this bill, and there's ways you could campaign about that, but no, the socialists decided to riot instead.
	So just to start off, if we can load up these images, just so we can see them, I went and looked up the groups that were promoting the protests that took place in Bristol, the hashtag kill the bill protest.
	And just to be clear here, right, the phrase kill the bill...
	Is definitely meant to be a double entendre that also implies murder the police.
	Maybe.
	I mean, if you steelman their position, they might say, oh no, it's just about the bill in Parliament.
	Yeah, but that's because I'd be dealing with a left-wing liar.
	Yeah, and in England, bill also means police.
	So hashtag kill the bill.
	And we can see that this is their opinion as we see their graffiti as we go on.
	Yeah.
	So this first one is Extinction Rebellion.
	If we could just change the images through so we can see the different groups.
	So then we have Bristol's People's Assemblies.
	There's this anti-austerity group that are actually just the Labour Party with a different face mask.
	And then the next one, you can see Momentum in Bristol.
	Oh, the Labour Party with just another mask!
	Yeah, and then the last one here.
	So, All Black Lives Bristol.
	So this is a Black Lives Matter group with a different mask on.
	Yeah.
	All promoting this.
	It's like, hmm, okay, so we know who the people are setting this up, and it's not a surprise either.
	Bristol is a left-wing s-hole, so it is full of these types of groups that are endlessly protesting for any reason they can find.
	I mean, is Britain's Portland, for any Americans who aren't aware?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and for this start of the protest, I'm not going to say the daytime, the start, it seemed to go, okay, let's say, people just with their placards and whatnot, blah, blah, blah, and then they decided getting violent.
	So if we can go to the next link, it should be the police here attacking, sorry, the protesters attacking a police van and tagging it with different slogans like A, C, A, B, because it's a police van.
	On the other side, you can't see it from this angle, but it says F pigs, which is a weird endorsement of bestiality, but okay for the leftist.
	And then it denigrated even further.
	So if we go to the next link, the police ended up fighting with them with riot gear because they just kept attacking them.
	So this is perfectly normal.
	This is exactly what you expect.
	And then they started firing fireworks after the police brought in police dogs.
	So we go to the next one.
	You can see them with the police dogs here, holding the protesters back because they started smashing up vehicles and buildings.
	And then someone lets off a firework in the direction of the police and the dogs, which...
	Come on, man.
	Fireworks at police dogs is not funny.
	That's just gross.
	Anyway.
	Well, before we go on, I find it very interesting how it is a remarkable distinction between the left-wing and the right-wing protests.
	The left-wingers are attacking the cops.
	The right-wingers aren't.
	Yeah, well, they're explicitly anti-cop.
	I mean, I know the anti-lockdown protesters are also anti-authoritarian here, but they're not necessarily destroy the police, which is what the position of these protesters are, as will be made redundant.
	They do not just care about some bill in Parliament.
	They couldn't give a toss about some bill in Parliament.
	There are bigger things going on here.
	So if we go to the next one, you can see some people smashing up the police station, so smashing up the windows, trying to destroy as much of it as possible.
	Oh, look at that.
	White leftists who are smashing up the police station.
	What a shock.
	I wonder if they're copying something they saw on Twitter sometime.
	And then the next one should be the black clad people smashing up the upper section of the police station.
	They've graffitied on there.
	F the police.
	I assume that's what that's meant to be, which is a poll.
	Unless they're against 4chan, I guess, but you never know.
	Anyway, and then I wanted to play a video of a police van being set on fire, because these are perfectly reasonable, mostly peaceful protesters.
	.
	. . . .
	Great, so Portland's riot politics has arrived in Bristol.
	Yeah, I mean, we've seen, let's say, Black Lives Matter protests in London that ended in police officers being injured severely, stuff like that, but we've not seen the level of Portland, let's say, are just setting things on fire for the fun of it.
	And Bristol being a leftist s-hole, then what, I guess, what were you expecting?
	It's going to devolve into what it is in America.
	I really hate that, like, into the nice sleepy corner of England, which is the southwest, The radical left-wing politics of America have finally arrived via the medium of Twitter, and this is what we get.
	This is totally unacceptable, and this is the sort of thing that should be treated with absolutely zero tolerance.
	There is no just reason to do this.
	And for the United States, this is sort of run of the mill at this point.
	I imagine some American viewers are like, eh, you know, a couple of cars.
	I mean, the George Floyd riots, this is nothing compared to the George Floyd riots.
	But that's not a condemnation of the UK, it's a condemnation of your country.
	The fact that that's normal is...
	I don't understand how that's part of the body politic.
	This is not normal at all.
	The political response to this is one of universal, at least, condemnation of the actions, unlike your Democratic mayors and whatnot who encourage it.
	So if we can go to the next link, just to show the van being burnt as well.
	Sorry, did you have something to say?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	This is just footage of the van being set on fire after they tagged it with a bunch of stuff because rioters of peace, I presume.
	If we go to the next one, there's a police car that was also set on fire.
	Someone did make a good comment that a lot of police cars in the UK have rainbow stickers and rainbow attachments on them.
	So I wonder if you could charge them with a hate crime, if any of these cars had rainbow stuff on them.
	But probably not.
	The police gave a...
	The irony, though, is that all of these people support the diversity rainbow police.
	Yeah.
	Like, they love that the police are being very progressive.
	They just hate police as an idea.
	This is also the cringe of police forces and the army getting in bed with progressive politics, left, right, and center.
	These people hate you.
	They want your entire institution destroyed.
	Why would you try and virtue-signal to them?
	I don't get it.
	Anyway, the police gave an interview on the radio this morning.
	He said that nine vehicles from that station are out of action, so they're either burnt or where they are.
	This is some kind of Molotov or firebomb going off.
	If you can just see the footage, you can see it goes over then.
	I mean, the thing about this is exactly the same that's going to happen in Portland.
	A very nice, very affluent, very well-to-do city is going to be dragged down into constant street fighting, riots, burnings and lootings and murders because of left-wing politics, just like what has happened in Portland.
	You know exactly what's going to happen here.
	And this is only 45 minutes away from where we are.
	It's really not very far away.
	And this is just an awful American import.
	I don't understand what it is with leftists.
	They just chimp out at any first opportunity and stop burning things.
	What's wrong with you?
	You have to live there.
	It's because they know that they're going to get away with it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they do.
	So there's some points made by Andy Noah if we get the next one, which is them burning dumpsters, which is a tactic from the United States.
	Doesn't really happen here that often.
	Trying to make barricades to block the police from stopping them, which, great.
	Another wonderful import.
	And then there's also the Black Block attacking the police.
	So if we can get the next one up, which is just people in Black Block, you know, all dressed in black.
	That's the tactic.
	Yeah.
	Just rallying to attack the police because, I don't know, I guess you're locked down so there's nothing else to do.
	I suppose so.
	Yeah.
	But this is also one of the other points.
	There's a lot of people arguing, oh, how could you say that these people have anything to do with the left?
	And it's like, well, all the people organising the protests are left-wing organisations and then all the tactics being used.
	How could you say they don't?
	I know.
	It's embarrassing.
	So let's go to Witherman because the Witherman has something to say.
	Oh, good.
	Thank goodness for Good Morning Britain's weatherman.
	So Nigel Farage tweeted out some footage of everything being set on fire and said that in Bristol tonight we see what the soft-headed approach to anti-police BLM leads to.
	And Nigel Farage is correct.
	They're saying, wake up everyone, this is not about racial injustice.
	And a lot of people are responding with, sorry, what has BLM got to do with this?
	Because they're...
	BLM? What?
	That famous movement that's never protested or rioted or burned anything down?
	Yeah, what have they got to do with it, Alex?
	And you can see the really dunce argument going on here, which is, well, this is a hashtag kill the bill protest.
	That has nothing to do with hashtag black lives matter.
	They're completely different.
	They don't swim in the same circles at all.
	Just get out.
	Morons.
	No, not even morons.
	Dishonest.
	Dishonest.
	And Alex is clearly a liar.
	You could see the liar's smirk.
	He was giving Piers Morgan before Piers storms out.
	Alex is a liar.
	Don't like him.
	Yeah.
	These people know well enough that none of these movements have to do with racial justice or opposing authoritarianism, as if they believe in such nonsense things.
	They're never going to argue for that.
	I mean, these people believe in hate speech bills, which limit your free speech.
	You think they give a toss about authoritarian government?
	Yeah, absolutely not.
	They just hate that they're not in control of it.
	That's all that this is about.
	And if we can get the next link up.
	So this is the mayor of Bristol denouncing what went on, and he said that the people attending were serial demo attenders.
	Just to be clear, the progressive Labour mayor of London, who we covered the other day, who was all in favour of all of these sort of progressive movements...
	He was a supporter of Black Lives Matter, saying that Britain is institutionally racist.
	He himself is half black, so he suffered from it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	All this absolute nonsense.
	Well, this is what you've brought about.
	This is what you were supporting.
	This is the city, for people who might not remember, where the Edward Colston statue was, a guy who made some money through slavery and then donated it to the people of Bristol in a time in which slavery was universal.
	So it's hard to condemn the guy for living in the time he lived.
	He didn't do anything unique.
	Yeah, that's the point.
	Anyway, so the mayor here, who allowed all that to go on and let them destroy it and was standing with them and didn't want to cause offence, is now upset that the chickens have come home to roost.
	So he says that about 3,000 people were in attendance of the protest, that's the estimate, and perhaps 400 to 500 were people who were engaging in serious criminal activity.
	Huh.
	Minority.
	400 to 500 people engaging in criminal activity.
	That's not a small number.
	I mean, it's enough people to cripple the police force for the night.
	I'd be amazed if Bristol has 500 police.
	Apparently they had 50 on scene.
	There we go.
	So that was all they were facing.
	So I find it hard to actually blame the individual police officers, let's say, for this instance.
	You know, good luck dealing with that amount of rabid leftists.
	But the problem there is the people who caused the rabid leftists, which unfortunately includes your commanders who made stupid decisions, which we'll go into in a minute.
	So then there's just some of the evidence of the people, these serial offenders.
	So you can see I've tagged some of the stuff I can find.
	So this one first is some guy carrying a flag of the industrial workers of the world.
	Solidarity forever.
	Oh, yeah.
	Some smooth-handed student who's never done an industrial job in his entire life is like, Solidarity forever, brothers!
	Yes, industrial workers of Starbucks.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And all those industrial workers would look at you and go, Piss off, communists.
	And you'd be like, Oh my God, you fascists.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then the next one I was able to find was them spray-tagging stuff, so it's defund the police.
	Oh, where'd you get that slogan from, lads?
	The American slogan.
	Twitter!
	That's where!
	Twitter!
	Yeah.
	And then there's also one of the flag.
	So this is just looking for identifiers.
	You can see the background, the anarcho-communist flag.
	Someone there.
	So it's like, I mean, these aren't right-wing symbols, lads.
	This isn't some centrist group of people who have absolutely no allegiance to anything.
	Like, no, there are definitely communists in the mix, shall we say.
	Well, they're very proud of this, and they advertise the fact.
	Yeah, and then we just go back to momentum for a second, like I mentioned earlier.
	Like, they gave a false statement here, if we can click on the image to make it bigger so people can see, in which they're not just celebrating the rally is happening.
	The attack on the police station this evening likely wouldn't have happened if the police hadn't acted aggressively, including bringing dogs.
	so the police trying to stop us made us attack them the police deserve the attack nice victim blaming she was wearing a short skirt I guess I don't know what to say if you can go left the next retweet they did so let's not forget that the police protect a culture of violence against women and other marginalized groups in Bristol Yeah, which has been one trigger behind the outrage of the last few weeks.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, really?
	Just take your abstract nonsense and shove it.
	You liars.
	You know you're liars.
	The police in the United States aren't as infested with wokeism.
	So you could sort of make a more tepid argument there.
	But here it's just embarrassing.
	Because, I mean, the police here are obsessively woke in every single department.
	Like Met and Manchester and Brighton might be the worst, but every single department.
	Oh, Bristol's bound to be another outpost of the progressive police of inclusivity and diversity.
	Yeah, which is just like, really, they're the ones putting you down, huh?
	Progressivism sounds pretty racist, I'm just going to say.
	So apparently 20 police officers have been injured in these riots.
	Two of them have been hospitalized, so they deserve it, I guess.
	And then the media, well, the left-wing media are upset, because how dare people describe this as unacceptable and shameful?
	So there's an editor for the Canary UK, which is a leftist outlet.
	Saying the Bristol media of middle class gentries is working...
	Gentrifiers.
	Gentrifiers is working overtime to poison public opinion against hashtag kill the bill protesters.
	Poison public opinion by showing them footage of what the protesters were doing.
	Which is burning police cars.
	I don't know what to say.
	It's just so stupid.
	And then I decided to look up just random people on Twitter.
	Like, what are the people...
	Sorry, on Facebook.
	What are they, you know, people who are involved in this celebrating?
	And I found just some people here.
	So if you can click on the first one, it's just some guy.
	Big it up, Bristol.
	And then if you go to the next image, there's one of the images in here is him burning the police guy.
	He's taking an image of it.
	And then the next link...
	Sorry, if you can go to the next image, sorry.
	And then...
	No, no, go back.
	And the next image.
	This is just from his timeline.
	That's a reference to the communist regime in Cuba.
	So, perfectly reasonable chap.
	I've done a few more.
	I've just liked the people in there celebrating.
	And all the people celebrating are communists.
	So it's like a big surprise.
	And then this one is just all the Antifa groups that are celebrating this.
	So no fixed abode Antifa posting an image that I can't find online.
	So presumably they were there when they took that image.
	Yeah, yeah.
	If you go to the last image there, it's the next one.
	Yeah.
	Them also celebrating it.
	If peaceful protest is illegal, we might as well riot.
	Class war.
	Perfectly reasonable.
	The protests aren't becoming illegal, by the way.
	There's just start times, end times, and also you have to not be too noisy and whatnot.
	And again, I don't agree that this is necessarily commensurate, but it's not becoming North Korea, and complaints to that regard don't seem true.
	And then the last thing here is the Bristol police having to call in other police departments.
	Sorry, I believe you had something to say about this.
	Oh, yeah, and nothing major.
	I just think it's interesting that I came across this, that police chiefs in Bristol called in reinforcements from other neighbouring constabularies, which means Wiltshire and Somerset.
	We sent police over there, apparently, and again, I'm not happy about how close this is getting to civilisation.
	It's one thing that's happening in Portland, but it's another thing happening in Wiltshire.
	When the orcs are killing each other, not an issue.
	When it comes to the Imperium of Man...
	Well, yeah, basically, you know, like these things happened in Portland as normal because that's what they want.
	That's what they expect.
	But these things shouldn't be happening in normal in little old England.
	But yeah, so police came under siege in their own police station following a day of protests, according to Bristol Live.
	And two police vehicles were burnt out, but it turned out there were more in the end.
	And Avon and Somerset Police described it as significant disorder, and we of course sent people over, but they described it as a small minority of people who turned it into a violent disorder.
	And that's interesting, because that small minority injured 20 police officers, if we go to the next one, from Bristol Post.
	The Gosser Police Federation tweeted out that one was left with a collapsed lung after being stamped on.
	That's so progressive.
	That's so tolerant and inclusive and diverse.
	Collapsing the lungs of cops.
	But again, they're very, very, very hasty to stress that, oh, this was hijacked by a hardcore element.
	It's like, really?
	Hijacked by a hardcore element.
	This is the hardcore element.
	That's what the protests are.
	Oh man.
	Like those people out there are just the centrist average British public.
	Yeah.
	They're just like, kill the bill!
	Yeah, right.
	It's like the whole thing is organised by socialists, mate.
	Yeah, look at their Facebook groups.
	They're proud of it.
	They are not moderate, apolitical people who are just provoked by the government's actions.
	Anyway, at least Priti Patel's response was as firm as you might expect.
	Unacceptable scenes tonight in Bristol.
	Thuggery and disorder by a minority will never be tolerated.
	Based calling out minorities.
	LAUGHTER Our police officers put themselves in harm's way to protect us all.
	My thoughts this evening are with the police officers injured.
	So the knee's going to be coming down from Priti Patel, is basically it.
	But the knee won't be coming down from Keir Starmer or the Labour Party.
	Not this time.
	No.
	So Keir Starmer went on LBC this morning and gave an interview about this, and I had to clip one section in which they're just pointing out his hypocrisy on this, which is he condemns these actions, but yet he stood in solidarity with BLM whilst they were burning down half the United States.
	So let's just play.
	My question is, with the backdrop of you having supported an organisation which wishes to defund the police by taking a knee with your deputy leader, how do you think the inaction of the police in the BLM protests in 2020 has affected the respect and authority of the police in Bristol?
	Well, Ed, thanks for that question, by the way.
	The two things are completely different.
	Black Lives Matter is a very, very huge movement across the UK, across the world.
	Drawing attention to the injustice of structural racism that's gone on for very, very many years.
	What happened last night is a million miles from there that this is just lawlessness.
	As I said, inexcusable, unacceptable.
	So just for the images that people can't see if they're just listening.
	Like the point where he's saying, oh, it's in the United States, they're just fighting for social justice and blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, at the same time he was kneeling, they were burning stuff down.
	So I just put in the images of that.
	A million miles away from the lawlessness.
	Yeah, the lawlessness in Bristol is completely different.
	To the lawlessness in Minneapolis.
	Which I kneel for.
	Yeah, or any of the other cities.
	Oh, God, I hate the hypocrisy of it.
	Yeah, it's just pathetic.
	But then the other thing here, as I've mentioned, which is I can't help but say the police actually do have some blame to lay here.
	And it's not on the inaction this time round because they didn't seem to have the officers do something.
	But with the Colston statue, apparently they were there, they were able to stop them, and they decided to make a tactical decision to allow Black Lives Matter protesters to bring down the Edward Colston statue and dump it in the harbour to avoid confrontation.
	It's like, you idiots.
	I don't understand.
	I don't want to be an armchair critic of the police.
	I don't know what resources they had.
	No, no, feel free.
	I have no idea how you think that's appropriate.
	Surely the thing to do here is to protect the statue.
	I mean, you could see them doing it with Churchill's statue by the Met a few days ago.
	There were literally just five of them just circle around it, no one gets to touch it.
	And then there you go, that's the focus of the mob, and then it's done.
	There is no way you were unable to do that, so I don't believe it.
	And there's also the point mentioned that the police have no knee to stand on in regards to like, oh, we don't have anything to do with this.
	Well, you took the knee, well, the Met, in this case, took the knee for the protesters in London.
	And then, yeah, that's where it leads.
	Well, like you say, the Bristol police stood back and let them trash the statue of Colston.
	That's telling the protesters, telling the left-wing radicals that actually, no, we're not going to defend any of the property or any of the sacred institutions or any of just the things of our city.
	So you go ahead and there you go.
	As you say, sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
	This is what you get.
	If you embrace leftist ideology, kneel for it and make it part of your department, well, what do you think you are going to get in your culture?
	The same thing that has already happened the world over, particularly in the United States.
	These guys then go out and start burning stuff down.
	They were always going to do it.
	They told you, this is what we want.
	We want to destroy Western liberal democracy.
	We hate the police, we hate the parliament, we hate politics.
	They try to fight racism.
	It's stupid!
	Like, they're literally saying, death to the worst, and you're like, champions for social justice.
	Yeah.
	If only we could stop racism, these people would be happy.
	Yeah.
	It's like...
	You have to be too dense to really think that that's the case.
	Well, that's the thing.
	I've got to the point now where I just think it's mendacious.
	I think that these people in charge are just liars.
	Like the Bristol mayor left this, the Bristol police bound to be infested with leftists and controlled by leftists.
	And it's like, well, sorry, you know, what do you think?
	You know, what do you, and this is why they're permissive.
	There was no way you didn't know this was going to happen.
	Exactly.
	And this is why they're permissive about it.
	It's like, well, we're going to take a hands-off approach as the mob starts tearing this one thing down.
	It's like, okay, oh, now they're burning our police cars and vans.
	And they're attacking our police station.
	Do we do anything?
	Well, I don't know.
	Maybe you should.
	What do they do in Portland?
	You know, like if you're going to take your cues, how does it go?
	I mean, if there wasn't a perfectly mapped out example in America of exactly where this is going to go, and if this wasn't following that map precisely, maybe I'd be like, okay, you've got an excuse to not know where the outcome of this is heading, but we know exactly what is going to happen from this.
	So the only good thing I saw was the police chief who gave an interview on the radio this morning said that they apparently do have significant intelligence about the socialists who are doing this.
	Good, arrest every one of them.
	And they said they will try and go after every single one of them.
	They said they've already arrested seven.
	And it's like, good, okay, but that's the thing you have to do now, because if you don't, just like Portland, in two years we will have to bring in military troops to try and organise a defence of federal buildings, well, government buildings here.
	Government buildings here, yeah.
	But the last thing, just for a start, just arrest every single ACAB Facebook group member.
	You know, just investigate them.
	You know, these people who are all like...
	Celebrating.
	Yeah, celebrating.
	Glorifying terrorism is a crime in the UK. Exactly.
	So...
	All of these people saying we did a great job.
	Momentum.
	All of these people, they're all radical communist revolutionary organizations.
	they are the source and authors of violence they're the authors of the sort of rhetoric that leads to violence these are the people that are the problem couldn't be any more clear they again they broadcast it themselves yeah and we understand this for the islamists in the uk yeah i'm quite glad about we've now got to the point i know i know there wasn't in the 2000s looking back at the situation but there is now at least within our intelligence services and the police that they understand the problem with islamist terror and those kind of groups is that they thrive off these groups yeah and it slowly builds up
	and then you end up with the situation we're in you have to have thousands of people on 24-hour monitoring yeah let's not get there with the leftists Let's shut it down now.
	I mean, just the way to envisage it is just the leftists are like the jihadis of the Enlightenment.
	They're the people who take it to its most extreme form and say, okay, well, I begin at the extreme position.
	I turn around and look back at the rest of the world and go, this is all hideous, capitalistic, patriarchal evil.
	It all must be overthrown.
	It's the same sort of way that the jihadis look at their religion.
	But anyway...
	I'm getting worked up about this now.
	This is annoying me.
	This is actively annoying me.
	Well, I mean, it'll be burning down your house in a few months, so...
	Well, exactly, yeah.
	That's the point.
	And on the plus side, at least they're going to be burning down the mayor of Bristol's house, too, aren't they?
	It's like they did with...
	Ted Wheeler.
	Ted Wheeler, that's it, yeah.
	Anyway...
	Speaking of how leftism has totally perverted our society in every single way possible, turns out that George Floyd memes are just illegal in the United Kingdom now, which is something I didn't know about because I've shared a few of them myself, so I'm going to have to go delete those.
	Oh no, thankfully Instagram censored one of mine the other day.
	We should probably state the law first.
	So the law in the UK, and I can't believe this is fucking real, it is illegal in the UK to post something online which is grossly offensive.
	Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.
	Thank you, Tony Blair.
	Thanks for not repealing that, Boris.
	That's very conservative of you.
	I keep Tony Blair's hate speech laws.
	I'm a conservative.
	There's one thing you should get rid of.
	It's that on day one.
	Yeah.
	But there are lots of other things you should get rid of.
	And we could give you a list if you want, Boris.
	But this is most famous because of Count Dankula with his Nazi pug case and all that.
	But it doesn't end there.
	It never ends there.
	Now it's got the police.
	Now a police officer has fallen foul of Section 127.
	This is a man called Geraint Jones, 47, who is a custody sergeant in Torquay, which is a nice town in Cornwall.
	It's just some, again, backwater place in the southwest where nothing much happens.
	This is what's great about the southwest of England.
	It's just rural, mostly.
	Nothing much.
	We campaigned in Torquay.
	Yeah.
	It was, you know, nice.
	Pretty sure.
	Isn't it the place that the William of Orange landed to take over Britain as well?
	That's the only thing in history it has that's of major significance.
	I would have thought he'd even landed in the east.
	I'm pretty sure he landed in Torquay because there was literally no opposition because everyone loved him anyway.
	Right, okay.
	I'd have to look it up.
	But yeah, no, no, no.
	But the point is, it's a small sort of quiet area of very nice, patient, quiet people who don't really do much and don't cause much trouble for other people.
	And that's why they're getting in trouble from progressive laws now.
	Yeah, a slice of paradise.
	Yeah, it is a slice of paradise, frankly.
	I've lived in the South West for years now.
	I like it here.
	I don't want it to become Portland.
	But don't worry.
	The leftists have come in to shit up the place and decide that anyone who shares a meme they don't like needs to go to jail.
	Yes.
	Anyway, he had shared a meme, which was a picture of George Floyd being pinned to the ground by Derek Chauvin, where Derek Chauvin had been replaced with a naked black man of internet fame.
	And this was offensive.
	He said the issue of whether the image had a racial angle never entered his mind and was intended to amuse his colleagues rather than cause offense.
	Plymouth Magistrates Court heard that the officer had forwarded the meme to a WhatsApp group of eight other people, including six police officers, after being sent it by a friend.
	Two members of the WhatsApp group turned out to be disgusting narcs.
	And I can't believe the cops are full of narcs.
	What are the odds?
	But two members replied with laughing emojis.
	Presumably they're under investigation.
	But one member complained...
	Sorry, it was only one member who was a narc.
	One member complained about the image and Jones referred to the force's professional standards department.
	This guy served on the police for 23 years.
	23 years service.
	One meme.
	One meme.
	He's probably going to get fired.
	I mean, he's just been charged for sending...
	There's a question here of police conduct, shall we say, you could argue, because if this is a police watch, WhatsApp chat, for example.
	Well, it's not.
	There's a non-police officer in it.
	Oh, in which case...
	It's just that they happen...
	It's just his mates.
	Yeah, they happen to be friends, and one of them wasn't a police officer, and one of them was a disgusting narc.
	Who should be shamed.
	So now he's on charge.
	He's going to be charged with a crime.
	I think the sentencing for Section 127 is you can get up to six months in prison and an unlimited fine of the sentencing guidelines.
	And then you can put them as adequately as the judge thinks, which is just up to him.
	So apparently a pug doing a Nazi salute is worth 800 quid.
	I'm sure this meme is probably worth at least a few hundred.
	Probably.
	It's a bit more offensive either.
	I think it's way more offensive.
	So you've got to get the high score.
	So he might get a higher score than Dankler, and then Dankler's going to outdo him.
	Yeah, I mean, at least with Danks, they can't be like, well, that's too soon.
	I mean, it happened 80 years ago, so, you know...
	But this is fairly recent.
	But anyway, he's been on the serving office for 23 years, charged with sending a grossly offensive image contrary to the 2003 Communications Act, and following an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
	That's right, sharing a meme gets you referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
	He denies the charge, but, I mean, he did send the meme, and whether something is offensive or not is not up to him.
	It's not up to you, comrade.
	Yeah, so you can deny that charge all you want.
	It's not even up to your friends in that charge.
	No, it's not.
	It's up to the judge.
	Exactly.
	It's nothing to do with you anymore.
	He says, I knew the meme was going viral at the time, and I'd seen it in various shapes and forms.
	I saw the comedy of it because I found the character amusing and wherever he turns up.
	Maybe I was after a cheap laugh or trying to raise a smile.
	I didn't think about it deeply and I didn't look at the image in detail.
	Well, there we go.
	Sharing a meme that you didn't think about in detail, deeply.
	Trying to raise a cheap laugh out of your mates can ruin your career.
	That's the world we live in.
	Normal free country things, you know?
	An otherwise unblemished record of service, public service, is now going to find you being rendered a criminal and unable to serve because of this meme.
	He continued, I never envisaged that I would end up in court.
	Well, who does?
	Who thinks they're going to end up in court over a meme?
	I know there must be tens of thousands of people who shared it humorously, thinking probably hundreds of thousands.
	We don't want to run the risk of criminalizing all those people.
	Well, that's too late.
	We've already done that.
	That was done in 2003.
	All of those people were criminalized years ago now.
	That's also your viewpoint that you don't want to criminalize hundreds of thousands of people.
	The left-wing people in this country disagree, my friend.
	Tony Blair's like, nope, that's wrong.
	We've got loads of criminals out there sharing illegal memes.
	We need to deal with that.
	Take them down.
	Liam Bainbridge, prosecuting, says the prosecution case is that such an image sent at that time was liable to cause gross offence, namely to those in the black and ethnic minority community.
	Who didn't see it.
	So Lee Bainbridge, who I'm going to guess is not from the ethnic minority community, is going to take offence on behalf of black people and the ethnic minority community.
	For some reason, non-black people are also offended by this image.
	Of people who didn't see it.
	But it was sent to a WhatsApp chat of eight people.
	Yeah.
	I mean, how many members of the black and Asian minority community were inside that WhatsApp chat?
	What, in a talky local police WhatsApp chat?
	Probably not many.
	Of the several million, how many of them were offended by him sending that to that chat?
	Zero, probably.
	We've got no evidence that someone who can be counted from the BAME community is offended by this, and that is the only standard that is required at this point.
	You also don't have any evidence that they also wouldn't find it funny.
	That's true.
	We are going to show you the offending image, though we have censored the appropriate parts.
	Avert your gaze if you happen to be a narc.
	That's the meme.
	I've got a cheap laugh out of me, I'm not going to lie.
	You're doing time if you share something as gross as this.
	Yeah.
	I hate this country.
	I actually hate it.
	Because the worst thing I can't get over is how the Tories just let this stand as well.
	This would be number one of things you need to get rid of.
	They could do anything they wanted about this.
	They could repeal this tomorrow.
	They just put a bill up, repeal it.
	They've got the overwhelming majority.
	Just get it done in a day.
	Anyway, this is not the only person who has been arrested or at least been in trouble for sharing offensive memes.
	There have been some examples from our American cousins, because apparently George Floyd is a f***ing saint.
	And now profaning his image and likeness is tantamount in Britain to a criminal charge, but in America it'll just lose you your job.
	Alright, so this is Trinity County in California, where a deputy posted an offensive George Floyd meme on Instagram.
	The same George Floyd meme, incidentally.
	So it's the same meme that got this guy fired from the local police office.
	He was no longer employed as an effective of June 5th, 2020, so this was a little while ago, but he got fired.
	The Trinity County Sheriff's Office learned of the inappropriate discriminatory meme.
	Who's he discriminating against?
	George Floyd.
	Saint Floyd.
	But it's not racial discrimination if a black man does it.
	People who are fentanyl-enriched?
	Oh boy.
	John's sniggering in the corner.
	I'm just saying, it's a discriminatory meme.
	It was put on his Instagram, he got fired.
	And there's another case from the LAPD, who have announced that they are looking into reports that officers allegedly circulated a Valentine's Day image that mocked George Floyd's death.
	The post allegedly said that it was Floyd's face with the caption, You take my breath away.
	It was a Valentine's Day card meme.
	How dare people share these memes?
	Yeah.
	It embarrasses the party.
	Shut it down!
	I just can't get over it.
	It's just mad.
	But there's the thing, with the United States, it's sort of like...
	At least you're not going to jail over it.
	Yeah, like, people lose their jobs.
	I mean, you're in a police department.
	I can imagine there can be an argument here of it's a little bit unprofessional.
	Totally.
	Especially in regards...
	It's rude, you know?
	I mean, if you're a cop in America, don't share a meme.
	For the love of God!
	Especially if you were in the police department where this guy was...
	Well, they're not.
	It was in Minneapolis.
	I know, right?
	But there's an argument about inappropriate behaviour.
	But of the guy in the UK, what is the argument?
	I mean, what is the argument there?
	Otherwise, it's blasphemy against George Floyd and leftism.
	Which is what it is.
	That this guy must be sent to court.
	And that's it.
	That's what it is.
	It's blasphemy against George Floyd.
	Saint Floyd.
	The patron saint of armed robberies against pregnant women.
	As the Mickey now laughing in the corner.
	We should blaspheme like this every episode, Carl.
	I'm not blaspheming.
	I've not said anything against George Floyd.
	These people did.
	Which is why they're getting sent to jail and this is apparently going to be okay.
	Which is why this is just the new normal.
	Don't blaspheme.
	There was another, I forgot to put it in this, there was another one where someone had defaced some art of George Floyd that was in Britain and they had found themselves running afoul of the law.
	Well, the cops arrested them.
	Yes.
	Because the exact same thing happened in Poland when someone defaced a Christian symbol?
	Yeah.
	Blasphemy against George Floyd.
	George Floyd is essentially the progressive equivalent of Christ himself.
	He didn't rise after three days, of course.
	He didn't redeem himself either.
	No, he didn't redeem the sins of the world either.
	But there's a direct left-wing comparison there.
	John's just loaded up the link here.
	Oh, really?
	Interesting.
	So apparently the BBC deleted the story, I assume, after they realised how embarrassing this was.
	Yes, but the George Floyd Manchester mural was defaced by racists.
	How do you know?
	How do you know it's racist?
	A local councillor in Manchester says defaced by racists for a second time.
	In a racist slur sprayed on it in July.
	I wonder what that slur was.
	I bet it was entertaining.
	But this is the way things are going.
	There are now a sort of progressive pantheon of saints that you aren't allowed to make jokes about.
	Because Lee Hurst is an example of this.
	This is just the last thing we'll end on.
	Who's a comedian who's suspended from Twitter.
	Because he made a joke about Greta Thunberg.
	Another saint.
	Another left-wing saint.
	Not Marta, but still a living saint.
	He had apparently, he's a panelist for They Think It's All Over.
	He had tweeted, as soon as Greta discovers cock, she'll stop complaining about the single-use plastic it's wrapped in.
	Pretty funny, don't get me wrong.
	Oh boy.
	The tweet was reported and the joke got him suspended from Twitter.
	Twitter's like, how dare you make a joke about an adult woman?
	Bullying her.
	Like, she's an adult as well.
	I know she still looks like a child because of the way her handlers dress up, but nah, that's not...
	I love the chat as well, just like, well, that is funny, so...
	So Twitter were like, boof, bang.
	But he was interviewed by the Daily Star about this, and he said he appealed to you.
	How dare you!
	Exactly!
	Oh, boy.
	God, I was going to make a joke then, but I'm not going to do it.
	I look forward to going to the gulag and meeting that cop.
	We can share memes.
	Yeah, I'm not going to make a joke about bareback.
	Anyway.
	What?
	Gold tier memes.
	Gold tier memes, yeah.
	Anyway, in an interview...
	Subscribe for a better meme.
	In an interview with the Daily Star, Hurst said that he'd appealed his suspension, but doesn't regret sending out the tweet, the crude tweet in the first place.
	I've appealed but heard nothing yet, but if I'm binned permanently, then I suppose I'm glad I was binned for writing a gag than having a rant.
	Which is fair.
	But that's where we are.
	There is a progressive pantheon of intersectional saints whom you're not allowed to mock on social media for fear of either suspension or being outright criminalized or far from your job.
	And there is no such thing on the right.
	Any right-wing personality, if you go to a progressive space and look at the way that they're talking about, like the things they say about Katie Hopkins or Lord Voldemort or Any conservative politician.
	They're really disgusting things.
	Okay, fine.
	You guys enjoy yourselves.
	I'm totally for your ability to...
	Make these horrible things.
	They're not for my taste, but I don't want them criminalised.
	And the reverse is not reciprocated.
	This is the thing I can't get over as well with that first one.
	So the Twitter one, okay, yeah, it's Twitter.
	It's, you know, the police losing their jobs, also bad, but there's, you know, arguments there.
	Sure.
	The one with the cop going to jail, though, you just...
	Come on, defend it.
	Defend it, leftists.
	Come out here and tell me there's no free speech crisis in the UK. We're literally sending people to jail for memes.
	Yeah, but that meme was offensive.
	It was a racist meme.
	No, but you can know Owen Jones.
	We did his stream the other day where he's arguing there's no free speech crisis in the UK. This is something conservatives make up.
	We have laws on the books that literally criminalise people making memes for Christ's sake.
	But have you considered that they affect right-wingers and not left-wingers?
	That's the thing.
	People have got to start...
	See, this is the thing as well.
	I know people always argue we shouldn't adopt leftist tactics because then it makes us as bad as them.
	But, you know...
	It's the law.
	It applies to everyone.
	So any leftist saying anything grossly offensive to right-wing morality, why not lock them up?
	Report to the police.
	What is the argument?
	Spam the police with reports of, look, this was an offensive meme, this was an offensive meme, this was an offensive meme.
	More free speech rights, says Owens Jones.
	Yeah, go on, I'm looking forward to it.
	Whatever, join the cop in the gulag.
	Bye-bye.
	Or you can join our free speech protests if you want, Owen, if you're so concerned about our ancient rights and liberties, which we know you're not.
	Yeah, no, it's disgraceful.
	Sorry, I... No, no, no, I hate it.
	I hate it.
	And I hate the fact that the Portland...
	And again, when we say American, we mean American leftists, obviously.
	We understand, of course, that there are many, many millions of base Trump-supporting Americans who despise the left-wing politics of Portland and California and New York.
	And absolutely despise the way that all of this is going.
	They despise the fact that we have hate speech laws in Britain and communications laws in Britain like we have.
	We understand that that's the case.
	But Macron is right when he says that this is an American invention, because it is.
	And unfortunately it is being exported.
	But don't worry, our American friends, we don't blame you.
	We blame the communists.
	There is also something a little bit smart in the, let's say, insular part of culture here.
	Yes.
	If you can denounce it as Yankee imperialist garbage, which it is, because it comes from Yankee campuses, well then how are our local leftists meant to oppose this?
	Yes.
	Which we say get rid of it?
	Yes.
	Because it's imperialism.
	It's cultural imperialism.
	Get it out.
	Moreover, it's cultural appropriation.
	Can't be doing that either.
	More of the French, sure.
	Exactly.
	Well, from the Americans too.
	So we've got lots of vectors by which we can attack this practice, and we should.
	Anyway, let's go to the video comments.
	So the infantilists are hard-lying against any sort of pride and independence, while the morally challenging courage students to be prostitutes and want to lower the legal age.
	The following generations are going to hate these monsters, and to be honest, I cannot wait for that to happen.
	At all.
	Not much of a question, just Oh, I don't blame you, Allspark.
	I do not blame you at all.
	And I think he's right.
	At some point, essentially in 20 years' time, the generation that's grown up with a collapsed economy because of welfare programs, without their fathers having been molested by a bunch of leftist activists in a burning city...
	I'm probably going to look around and go, whoever is responsible for this is a bad person.
	You know, the people, the philosophy, the groups, they're all terrible people and I am just dead set against them.
	And it's going to get grim, don't get me wrong, but it's probably inevitable.
	And I'm not going to shed a tear.
	There is a reason all the Eastern Europeans are sort of immune to the communist virus at this point.
	Yes.
	Like some retarded American comes over and starts simping for it.
	They just look at them like, get out.
	I lived in the Soviet Union.
	You're disgusting.
	Shut up, leftist.
	Yeah, so hopefully we'll have the same thing with the people living in the West.
	Slowly get over it.
	In a few generations' time, after everything's been burned down, yeah.
	But I mean, if that's the vaccine against communism, okay, fine.
	Okay, fine, yeah.
	At least we can have it done and get over it, you know?
	Yeah, let's go for the next one.
	Very serious question for you today, boys.
	You see, from the time I hit puberty, I've felt very strongly that I was born into the wrong body.
	Yes, I'm certain that I'm actually an Englishman called James Bond.
	I know you probably can't tell from my accent, but that's just you exerting your British passing privilege, probably.
	I've made a real effort to transition, and I think I'm doing well.
	I even have the same model Omega Seamaster.
	I think it's time for me to get my name changed and tell my work that they need to start respecting my new identity.
	Okay, I'm not really going to do that, but by social justice logic, how crazy is it really?
	It's not crazy at all, and in fact, I don't really see how they could object to you doing it.
	It seems perfectly reasonable that if one can identify, say, as a man to a woman, that a person could identify from being Mark Smith to James Bond.
	Just imagine pronouns in the bio, shaken, stirred.
	LAUGHTER Sexuality license to kill.
	I have got my license.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Hey guys, I think one of the reasons that cancel culture is so prevalent is because of the shift towards atheism.
	Judaism and Christianity both have strong traditions for forgiveness, but here we are digging up decade-old tweets with no grace.
	Do you agree that this shift plays a role in cancel culture, and how will you teach your kids Thanks, guys!
	It's a good question.
	I wouldn't draw a direct line between atheism to cancel culture.
	I think you do have to go through various kind of left-wing philosophies to get to the point where you're at cancel culture.
	And it's not to say that there isn't a risk from a religious perspective that there could be such a thing as cancel culture either.
	Things that are, I mean, we saw this through the late 20th century.
	It was the Christian right who were trying to cancel things.
	It's just that they never had the cultural capital that the left has now, and so they couldn't get Dungeons and Dragons or Rock and Roll or whatever it was cancelled.
	But I do think it's important to note that there is a distinction there, and I think that she is, what was her name, sorry, John?
	Titanic?
	What was the lady's name?
	I forgot it.
	It's not a normal English name.
	Sorry, I'm terrible at names.
	But the lady brings up a very good point, I think, in the fact that the problem that the left has is that it's Atara.
	Atara brings up a great point.
	It is an absolute position for the left, as in there is no method for redemption.
	Because in Christianity and Judaism, and probably in Islam as well, there are undoubtedly ways of bringing yourself back into the fold.
	As in, you know, okay, I did something wrong, I sinned, and I wish to come back in.
	I wish to apologize.
	I wish to have a redemptive process.
	And there is no such thing in leftism.
	And it's...
	Who's going to give it to them?
	You know, who's going to create that?
	I don't know.
	I mean, what do you make of the criticism of people who, you know, they've always been anti-SGW, and then all of a sudden they have a confession with Vosch, for example, and then are cleansed of their sins?
	Well, this is the thing, isn't it?
	This is the closest that the left can get to that.
	They have to raise up a confessor like Vosch, and he can anoint them with the holy oil.
	You're now a leftist content creator.
	Exactly.
	Go out and spread the word of socialism.
	Exactly.
	But she is right.
	There's no established doctrine of this.
	And so the thing is, if you don't accept Vaush's authority on things, then why would you accept that that person has been redeemed?
	And so I've noticed with all of these, you know, what's the reborn Christian thing?
	You know, where they're just born-again Christians.
	So the born-again leftists, I noticed that there's always a segment that rejects them.
	There's always a segment in their comment sections or on Twitter or wherever it is going, no, I don't trust this person, this person's right-wing, or I don't accept that, I don't care.
	So there's always a segment that's just like, don't care, and there's always giving them hell in the comment sections.
	So they're never going to get over it.
	So there's never going to be like a true sort of acceptance or redemption into that worldview.
	But it could be that it stems from the lack of a divine imperative to forgive those who have trespassed against you.
	I think that's not an unreasonable position, because where would you generate it from as an atheist?
	It's easy if you're religious to say, well, God tells us to forgive.
	It's okay.
	But I mean, from the atheist perspective, you've kind of essentially got to default back into a kind of more Greek view of things and be like, well, this is bad for you and your soul and your behavior, your person, your habit.
	If you're habitually angry and bitter and loathing of someone, then that tarnishes you as a person.
	But then you're falling out of left-wing politics and you're returning to a much more sort of It's an individualistic form of politics, an egoistic form of politics, which is not what the left is going to do.
	So I think the left are trapped in their position where they just hate.
	Just seeing the chat, a lot of people are making points about bishops and Bishop Vosch's position on...
	No, no.
	Let's move on.
	There are many, many similarities.
	Between the Catholic Church and...
	Yeah, let's get that next video.
	With regard to the lady's question about book series that she might enjoy, the two that merely sprang to mind were Terry Pratchett with the Discworld books, in particular the Guards series, and my personal favourite from them is the book Snuff, which is, I think, the final book of the Guards series, and the other one was Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series, which is also very good, and probably enjoy it.
	Good suggestions.
	I like Terry Pratchett a lot.
	Sam Vimes is one of my favourite characters.
	The Hank Moorpork guard are very good.
	They're all fun.
	You haven't read the movie?
	None of those words mean anything to me.
	There's something wrong with you.
	Sorry.
	Kids today, man.
	I'm telling you.
	Anyway, Mike Pugsley says...
	I'm getting the book you gave me.
	I'm getting there.
	That's good.
	That's for the book club.
	Mike Pugsley says, What's happening with the police?
	Faced with little old ladies, they get their batons out and attack to the shame of themselves and the country.
	Yet when faced with groups of violent thugs where the public would happily see them give these people hiding, they do nothing but run and hide.
	What the hell?
	Yeah.
	Thanks.
	It tells you who their masters are, doesn't it?
	That's exactly it.
	It tells you who they serve, doesn't it?
	And it seems to be the case.
	In London, they were a bit handsy, and in Bristol, they were like, no, burn our cars, attack our police station.
	We'll actually go and ask for other police forces to help us.
	Marcos says, Hello from a Windsor Treaty ally.
	In the Portuguese protest, one media called the Swiss participant protesters while the Portuguese protesters negationists.
	The media aren't the only ones dismissing them.
	Some people in social media are either wishing the protesters to catch COVID, imprisoned, or worst mob to death.
	Yeah, they'd be left-wingers.
	"Under the impression they're denying COVID rather than denying the lockdown.
	I am sick of this.
	I never thought I would see people today behaving like Salazar-era political police informers, trivially dismissing the civil rights granted by our Constitution.
	I'm mad that these people are shameful to the memory of 25th April and 25th November." I... It's very much the same here.
	It's very embarrassing, sort of pro-lockdown positions that you find in extreme left-wing groups, which is ironic given how they feel about the state and the police, but it's always in the radical left-wing views.
	I also see just some people that you wouldn't expect this kind of stuff to have any effect on them, and they've gone crazy.
	Like, some people who are just, like, refusing to leave their homes because they're too scared of the virus, or, you know, chatting in their neighbours to the police for having tea.
	We saw an infographic going around, didn't we, of the number of people in each political party in America who thought that how many people were hospitalised by COVID? It's something like 5% of people have been hospitalised.
	1% to 5%.
	Yeah, 1% to 5% of people have been hospitalised by COVID. 26% of the Republicans guessed that correctly and it was like 5% of Democrats or something guessed it correctly.
	Whereas like half the Democrats thought it was like half of people or something like this.
	It was ridiculously high.
	It's stupid?
	How would that work?
	Where?
	You know, why aren't you seeing people just dropping in the streets?
	There's 150 million COVID patients now or something in the hospital.
	Yeah, Pirate Skeleton says, I don't hold too many grand conspiracy theories myself, but I always found it strange and disappointing how the media tries to turn conspiracy theorists into a slur, almost like the media doesn't want the competition.
	Yeah, I mean, it means nothing after the conspiracy.
	Look at the media conspiracy theories.
	You've got Russia for Trump, and you've got Russia for Brexit, right?
	But then you've got all these other ones that they indulge, like capitalism is essentially a conspiracy theory against certain races, according to left-wing media outlets.
	Also just the conspiracy theory that white people or men are trying to oppress everyone.
	White supremacy, exactly.
	You know, all of these things are effectively just conspiracy theory thinking.
	And conspiracy theory thinking, to be clear, as we talked about, in fact, the last premium podcast we did on this, about the sort of aesthetic will of the world...
	The whole purpose of a conspiracy theory is to imbue events with an animating and organizing will, as in there is an intention behind a series of events that may have otherwise just been unconnected or just consequential rather than being intentional.
	And this, for the left, is full of this conspiratorial will behind events.
	And so the fact that they call anyone a conspiracy theorist is like, well, then everyone's a conspiracy theorist.
	Conspiracy theories are also, this is something just looking at a global sense, usually come from communities that don't understand how things are happening.
	So you have to come up with a rational explanation.
	The funniest one on the planet is the pay every penny straight to Israel Pepsi meme out of the Middle East.
	So this was a conspiracy theory that Pepsi really stands for pay every penny straight to Israel.
	It's just obvious nonsense.
	But it's the point of these people who live in an actual detailership just come up with absolute garbage all the time.
	And then you have a similar thing with the leftists in the West who don't understand anything.
	They don't understand how whites can earn this much and Jews earn more than them and blacks earn lower.
	So they're just like, well, it just must mean that the whites are oppressing the black people.
	It's like, nope, you're an idiot.
	You have no idea how anything works.
	Yeah.
	Sir Apple says, I don't know what to tell you, because the science is completely on your side here.
	You can just point out the number of people of your age bracket who have died, and that's a very, very small number.
	And you could, if you wanted, go further with this and point out that the Californian rate of COVID, who...
	Had extremely, extremely strong lockdowns is actually very, very similar to the Floridian rate of COVID, who didn't have very strong lockdowns at all.
	So you can always go for that.
	And for those people who are saying, I thought you were anti-science, yes, but their parents aren't, so, you know, use that against them.
	Joseph Woodland says, most of the nation is anti-lockdown, but it was because of the refusal to be associated with those actions that lots of people like me didn't turn up the protests.
	They should microwave cannon the lot.
	Oof.
	Thomas Quittington says, I'll admit, I was beginning to despair about the future considering how many people seemed to be completely accepting of the accelerated erosion of our individual freedoms.
	However, seeing the huge tenet in London and across the UK on Saturday kindled some hope within me.
	12.15 will commence again, based.
	That was the signing of the Magna Carta, for anyone who doesn't know.
	Callius for the Bristol protest says, Take away the protesters' red paint so they can't go faster.
	Good point.
	Yes, it is, Will.
	Again, we covered this a little while ago on the podcast, because someone had sent me the link to the Zoom call, and it was amazing.
	And it's becoming peculiar things.
	You previously covered the slavery reparations bill they endorsed, but here are some other things.
	Canceling the strippers and the name of women's lib.
	Yeah, so there are a bunch of stuff I posted on my Facebook page because I don't have time or the inclination to cover them elsewhere.
	But this cancelling women in Bristol is something that's been happening quite a lot.
	My sister a few years ago told me about the initiative she was taking part on to shut down a Hooters that was opening in Bristol.
	I'm like, okay...
	I guess that's pretty swirfy, but whatever you say.
	And now they're, yeah, cancelling stripping, shutting down stripping joints in Bristol.
	I mean, I don't care because I think that's a huge waste of money, but I think they should be allowed to do it.
	I don't think Bristol should institute progressive Sharia on women.
	I mean, I'm pretty much for Sharia generally, but like, you know, just saying, you know.
	I'm for shutting down women's rights.
	That's right.
	I'm a feminist.
	Well, that's what they are.
	It's just like the grid girls and all the Formula One girls that got shut down.
	And then in America, there are a bunch of them, whereas, I don't know, football or something like that, that they replace with co-ed dance teams or something.
	Because having attractive women being attractive is anti-feminist.
	Yeah, and then banning adverts for gambling, alcohol, fast food, presumably for keto bros.
	Just collect the bins and make the buses run on time, says Will.
	Yeah, that's all I want out of the government.
	George App.
	In the context of the Bristol riots, isn't this just anti-far communists fighting COVID fascists?
	Yes.
	I find it hard to sympathise with the police considering all the previous stories.
	Yeah, me too.
	Things just...
	I don't know how much of it is the individual policemen on the bill.
	On the beat, though.
	I don't think it's their fault that their bosses have become insane with COVID, progressivism even.
	Bristol City Council approves they have a fast food advert ban on fast food.
	Yeah, but didn't Sadiq Khan do the same thing in London?
	Alhamdulillah, yes he did.
	Yes.
	And he banned attractive women as well.
	Ashila.
	Where is your burka, you anti-progressive whore?
	She's like the Israel meme.
	I'll show you it.
	They've got images of Pepsi adverts, and they're like, look, I know the signs, and it's just like, what's wrong with you?
	You've lost your mind.
	I just love the way that Sadiq Khan is the one doing it.
	And I just want to make a joke, but I shouldn't.
	No jokes.
	Jokes are verboten.
	I mean, literally jokes are getting people in trouble with the law now, so I'd better be careful.
	How many years are we in prison for these podcasts?
	I don't know.
	Probably a few.
	Matthew Hammond.
	Will the UK government be more hostile to violent rights by Antifa than the US? They'd better be.
	They'd absolutely better be.
	There is no justification whatsoever.
	Denis Sakharov says, a bill that upsets the left sounds good at first, but here in Russia, one has to submit an application to have any kind of protest or gathering.
	Yeah, but that's what's going to happen here.
	I'm pretty sure if you want to do a significant march or something, you kind of have to do that as well anyway.
	Yeah, you're allowed to protest the government if the government says it's okay.
	Man, that burger looks good.
	I'm hungry now.
	Like, the UK's already a bit of an asshole, so...
	Yeah, but we're not a free country, so, you know.
	Like, you say, well, in Russia, we're not a free country.
	It's like, yes.
	Yeah.
	Nice to meet you too!
	Yeah, exactly.
	Welcome to the West.
	It can be rejected for any reason that might be grounded in reality, so regulating loud protests may well end up being a slippery slope.
	Well, may well is pretty redundant there.
	It definitely is a slippery slope.
	And obviously anything that...
	We've already been sliding for a bit.
	Anything that Lord Voldemort tries to organise from now on is going to be cancelled.
	I mean, we agree as well that we should all extend freedom, but...
	Yeah.
	I mean, you shouldn't have to ask the government for permission to protest the government.
	I shouldn't have to go to jail for posting memes, but...
	That's true.
	Like, you guys in Russia have the problem of anything anti-Putin gets shut down.
	Yeah.
	We have the problem of anything anti-progressive gets shut down.
	I mean, literally, the government will lobby companies like YouTube to get your account deleted.
	Yeah.
	And we're not even supposed to have a left-wing government.
	So...
	Country unanimously votes conservative, pretty much, and then it's, like, progressivism.
	How?
	Sucks.
	Yeah, how does this happen, Boris?
	Anyway, English Loyalist says, Well, I mean, I guess if they unleash Priti Patel, really, she'll definitely have the strength to deal with it.
	I don't know.
	She's very much all talk.
	She does some things that are good, don't get me wrong.
	She's much better than a lot of other people in that position.
	I think when it comes to putting the knee on the necks of Antifa, I think she'll probably do it.
	I hope so.
	I don't think she'll let that go.
	She'll probably just let the police club them.
	Yeah, but there's a question of will she actually have the ability to do it?
	How many people are between her and the police officer, you know?
	I don't know.
	Send in the cavalry if that's what it comes to.
	But I don't want a bloody autonomous zone being set up where people get murdered, like in the US. Opposite of law and order.
	If you want the rule of law, which we invented, so we probably would want it, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered inventing it, then when, and it's not if in Bristol, when they try to set up their autonomous zone, you go in there with the cavalry and show them why the Peterloo massacre was a bad thing.
	The Civic Nationalist says, reading the new Police Crime Sentencing Courts Bill and is just going to be used to restrict right-wing protests or freedom of speech protests, but there are many other parts of the bill which are going to be beneficial.
	I am for freedom of speech, but these radicals are just annoyed that it's going to target them, as well as the people that they hate.
	Either you are for freedom of speech or against it, there is no in-between.
	Completely agree.
	And we agree on the bill, by the way.
	I actually completely agree with the kill the bill.
	I don't agree with this bill at all.
	I don't want it going through.
	There's a lot of stuff in there.
	I appreciate that.
	But if we can get some good things and a bunch of bad things, like, look, look, look, this shit's sandwich, right?
	I know that there's a layer of turd in there, right?
	But look at the gorgeous melted cheese.
	Look at the bacon.
	I'm saying let's take the shit out.
	Yeah, but it's too late because it's not going to happen.
	So I just will bin that sandwich and get myself a nice bacon and cheese sandwich without the turn.
	We're not in Parliament.
	We're not in Parliament, no.
	So we're unfortunately going to get...
	For the sandwich.
	Yeah.
	That's right, I'm a conservative.
	I actually love that meme.
	I do too.
	It's so applicable.
	We need to start thought patrolling the conservatives because I'm so sick of it.
	Totally.
	I don't understand what's wrong with them.
	Yeah.
	Every social media account they have just put, that's right, I'm a conservative, when they're for reducing age of consent or whatever the next conservative initiative is.
	The Times.
	I mean, you posted on Facebook.
	The Times, they're meant to be a conservative-leaning outlet that always gets demonized by the left as being far-right.
	Yeah.
	And then they published an article the other day being like, what was it?
	Time we need to join the woke brigade or something.
	Capitulate to the racists.
	I need to become a gender communist and a race communist.
	I'm a conservative.
	What is wrong with you?
	Yeah.
	I don't understand.
	I just...
	They stand for nothing.
	They have no animating principles of their own, and so the left have come along and they're like, well, may as well join them.
	So yeah, that's right.
	That's how that works.
	Incidentally, that's how the Conservatives ended up joining the Nazis in Germany.
	Enjoy your concentration camp time.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Assuming you don't just get shot in the night.
	Edward Woodstock says, Yeah, they know they're lying.
	They know they are lying.
	They are mendacious.
	They are just not telling you the truth.
	Honestly, I want the police to be shaken awake by this.
	Being woke does not give you a pass for the left because it will never be enough for them.
	One popular saying I always remember is one solution, revolution.
	They won't settle for less, so best not give them an inch lest they try to take a mile.
	Bring back ye olde constabulary.
	Yes.
	I mean, you can watch footage of London from like 30, 40 years ago and you can see it's the constabulary there.
	It's not the...
	I told you I just watched like a football game and saw some police officers in the background.
	It was like, who are those foreign entities?
	They don't look like our police at all.
	They look like they're doing something constructive and responsible.
	Well, they also look threatening.
	They look like they're something of authority.
	Good, yeah.
	They've got the big, big domed hats.
	They're standing there, big guys with their arms on their back, just watching around.
	It's like, yes, that's what I want.
	Police that look like they're going to deal with radical leftists who burn stuff down.
	Zen Chan says, maybe you guys should stop whining that, oh, it's socialists protesting the bill that we agree is a bad bill, and maybe say, why is my side not protesting this bill?
	Good question, to be honest.
	Why isn't our side protesting this bill?
	I mean, what do you mean by protesting?
	Well, we're protesting from this office.
	I mean, protesting is legal.
	Probably just because we all know it's the thing.
	Like, the government's going to pass this regardless of if anyone protests or not.
	Yeah.
	It's almost like we're under occupation.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Tom Rickett says, already seeing the leftists on Twitter and Facebook running defence for the Bristol rioters.
	The narrative they seem to be clinging to is that this was a work of agent provocateurs sent in by Boris and Pretty to sabotage the protests.
	How can even one have to reason with people living in such delusion?
	It's not delusion, it's a lie.
	It's just an open lie.
	They know that they don't need to, we don't need to resort to this.
	Hanlon's Razor.
	Is it Hanlon's Razor?
	Occam's Razor.
	Occam's Razor.
	Where we can just be like, look, the simplest answer is the left are a bunch of rioting lunatics.
	And they, I mean, why would Boris need to do this?
	They do this themselves.
	I'm trying to think, do we even have any far-right groups that can infiltrate them like this?
	What is it, like Combat 18 was sent in by Boris to break it up?
	I don't even know.
	Because, I mean, you can make the argument, what is it?
	For, like, the Capitol Hill, you had people saying it was all Antifa.
	It obviously wasn't, but there were Antifa members there.
	I don't know if there are any Conservative Party MPs or members joining in on this.
	We don't really have right-wing organizations in the UK. Toby Young and the Free Speech Union down there.
	Oh, yeah, the Free Speech Union's right-wing.
	That's the thing you say.
	Like, that's as sort of not left as it gets, which is just liberal.
	Yeah, they're just standard English liberals, really.
	But yeah, the idea that Boris and Priti needed to send in agent provocateurs to make the leftists riot...
	They're already retarded.
	Yeah, don't waste my time, leftists.
	Jonathan Crowe says, What happens when the communists subverting our culture get access to our nukes?
	Well, I mean, communists have access to nukes.
	The Russians have nukes.
	The Chinese have nukes now.
	Like...
	Don't know.
	The problem is when they get access to the nukes, that means they've taken over the country.
	The nukes are the last of my concerns there, to be honest.
	Orson Well says, What happened to the worst cannons and rubber bullets?
	Banned by apologists and halfwits who think heavy-handed policing is a front to human rights.
	Watch the footage of the 1968 anti-Vietnam protests in London, and you'll soon see how leftist insurgents used to be dealt with before the simple-minded children took over the reins of power.
	Yeah, didn't Boris buy a bunch of water cannons for the Met when he was the mayor of London and then Sadiq Khan mothballed them or sold them?
	I don't know.
	I'm sure he did.
	I'm pretty sure they're meant to be illegal to deploy in the UK unless under special circumstances or something.
	That's why they're all in Northern Ireland.
	Yeah, but the special circumstances is a bunch of leftists are burning down police stations.
	I don't know how it works.
	They were sold for Scrab, were they?
	Right, okay.
	Oh, great.
	But again, Boris did the right thing and then said he comes in and does the wrong thing.
	It's like, okay.
	Thug Life Bear says, Oi, you got a license for that George Floyd meme.
	I don't, officer.
	I didn't think it was offensive.
	I was trying to get a cheap laugh officer.
	You're Nick, son.
	Imar says, The grossly offensive law offends me to my inner offended being.
	I am left scarred by this law.
	Can this law on all those who uphold it now be arrested?
	Good question. .
	God, look at that.
	Just look at that.
	This is the protest footage the guy told us about.
	Just look at how the police look.
	Yep.
	It's night and day.
	Like, I've never seen them in real life.
	They look like British police officers and not the occupying force of the globalist regime.
	Just the communists as well.
	Yeah, they look exactly like I'd expect.
	Look as cringe as they do today.
	Yeah.
	No, to be fair, they're less cringy because, I mean, at least they can tell what gender they are.
	Yeah, that's fair.
	Jack Williams says, that George Floyd meme is so funny I literally can't breathe.
	LAUGHTER Disavow.
	The recent Floyd Charlie Hebdo cover would be illegal now in Scotland.
	Yeah, so, did you see that?
	Are we allowed to show that?
	Yeah, I think we can, because the French did it.
	It's not our fault.
	We didn't upload it on the internet.
	Did you not see the Charlie Hebdo, George Floyd, oh no, Charlie Hebdo, Meghan Markle, the Queen cover, yeah.
	You can get that, because that was just the spiciest thing I've ever seen.
	Yeah.
	I think we are now entitled to go and shoot up all of Charlie Hebdo's office.
	And the Guardian will endorse us and say, oh, well, this is justified.
	The British are offended.
	Yeah, of course not.
	Well, I mean, by what standard could they complain, though?
	Because there was the Just We Charlie hashtag that trended after the shooting, which, of course, we supported because Charlie Hebdo should have the absolute right.
	But did you all say that?
	The Guardian did like...
	Hang on, but there was a bunch of leftists who were like, je ne pas Charlie, as in I'm not Charlie.
	How dare they offend Islam?
	It's like...
	Leftists screaming, no, this was justified.
	It's like, I hate it.
	It was even worse.
	The Guardian paid a journalist.
	I think it was like two different pieces they made.
	You know, like the little stories they made, right?
	And they literally went out there and tried to justify the whole thing by the fact that Charlie Hebdo had inflamed racial tensions and therefore this was somehow expected and they should watch their tongues and it was just like, what am I watching?
	Right, okay.
	So what you're saying is that they're essentially no different to animals and they can't be expected to behave like civilized human beings.
	That's the Guardian position.
	It's a very left-wing position on that.
	I don't agree.
	I think they actually can.
	Yeah, this is the Charlie Hebdo cover, which is, I mean, probably a hate crime in Britain.
	So what was it?
	Like something...
	Oh, Megan breaks her silence on why she left Buckingham Palace and then I can't breathe or whatever.
	I can't breathe, yeah.
	It's in frog language.
	I can't read it.
	Yeah, but the Queen with her knee on Megan Markle's neck.
	And it's just like...
	I mean, unironically, that probably is a hate crime in Britain.
	Just saying.
	Yeah, I mean, if a British person actually made that and uploaded it in England...
	Oh yeah, they'd be in trouble.
	Go into the gulag.
	They would...
	Yes.
	Kelly asks, could Callum suggest some good books on North Korea, please?
	Social slash ethics, thanks.
	Callum cracks knuckles.
	Right, let me...
	What do you want?
	Social and ethical books about North Korea.
	So, I'm not quite sure.
	So, if you want to learn about society, the best one I've had so far was...
	I can't see the books from here.
	Trying to remember the names so I get them right.
	Dear Leader, The Cleanest Race.
	Okay, so for ethics first.
	So like how the state sees itself, The Cleanest Race.
	Definitely read that one.
	And then there's one other.
	Hidden People of North Korea?
	Nothing to Envy.
	There we go.
	That's the one I recommend for seeing how people live.
	Apart from that, there's a bunch of other reading for like, you know, if you're a nerd like me about it.
	Yeah.
	The cleanest race and nothing to envy.
	Cleanest race for government ideology, nothing to envy to see other people live.
	That's what I'd recommend.
	After we do the Brave New World book club, we should do a premium podcast just on North Korea at some point.
	You can just tell me about North Korea.
	Yeah.
	Like an autist.
	Yeah.
	It'd be interesting.
	It's a crazy place, man.
	This is one of the weird things.
	Reading Huxley and knowing about 1984 and all that, I haven't read the book, but I've seen the movie.
	What's interesting is they're all different kind of dystopias, right?
	But North Korea really is an actual dystopia, but everyone tries to say, oh, it's like 1984, it's like Huxley, it's like...
	No, it's actually something unique and even crazier.
	So I don't know what to say.
	And it's real.
	You can go there and see it.
	It's not just in a book.
	Real-life dystopia.
	Yeah.
	Fascinating.
	Ed Walsh says, Guys, I think you may have misjudged Cardi B. As you remember, the last year UN described women as limitless and formless.
	Thanks to the work of Miss B, women have finally attained a shape, that of a wet hole, which is surely an improvement.
	That's a very good comment.
	LAUGHTER That's excellent.
	Right, so the good thing about this is that your opinion of anything is like the word of God to your children.
	Your children look at you as the divine creators of the universe, the order of the universe, and everything that is within it.
	Mistakenly, of course, but that's good that they view it this way.
	And so they'll see something on TV, or they'll be told something by their teacher or whatever, and they'll come to you for verification and validation of that.
	And if you refute that, then they will take it as completely true that whatever it was was wrong and that your position is sacred and holy and the official given word of God.
	So it's actually not very difficult to fend these things off.
	I've actually had this with my daughter coming home from school and talking about, like, intersectional progressive stuff, and I've just had to be like, no, that's not good.
	She's like, it's good to be gay.
	It's like, why is it good to be gay?
	Why do I have to have this discussion?
	Basically I have to explain to them, look, it's morally neutral to be gay.
	It's not good or bad.
	It's just a thing.
	You are.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, Ian says, Well, I mean, I don't know what extent you should be worried.
	I can't give you a number.
	You know, give it seven burgers out of 12 or something.
	Oh, apparently Hugo's writing an article about that in the American context.
	So that'll be up on Logistics.com.
	Trying to remember, we did get a leak.
	It's on, I think it's like one of the articles we have about social justice in our institutions.
	I believe one of them was the RAF. I think it was like pronouns, Dale, whatever.
	And they were like, you must use these pronouns.
	And it literally included not just like he, she, they, them.
	It was like Z, her, Z, B. And it was just like, what am I reading?
	So probably going to be bad.
	Yeah, it's undoubtedly going to be something you're going to encounter.
	You'll be the most educated person in the room, thankfully, to be able to shut this down.
	Yeah, on the plus side, you will be able to push back on it.
	But the thing is, there's a problem there, because what you'll be doing is pushing back against people who have more authority than you, but less education than you.
	And so they will see you as challenging their status, whereas what in fact you're doing is challenging their intellect, and they won't be able to distinguish the difference, and they will doubtless be angry at you for doing that, and you'll be singled out as a troublemaker, and so forth and so forth.
	So...
	Don't be a hero, I guess.
	Unless, of course, you are prepared to go the whole hog with it.
	Dylan says, This is an accurate characterization of Haidt, by the way.
	And anyone who wants to read Haidt should read.
	What's his book called?
	Why can't I remember the name of his book?
	I can't remember the goddamn name of his book, but he wrote a really great book that I read a few years ago.
	The hell's it called?
	It's right on the tip of my tongue.
	It's not The Moral Landscape.
	That was Sam Harris.
	I can't remember the name of the book, but Jonathan Haidt, he wrote a book about this.
	It's very, very good.
	The expense of every other moral foundation that honors and generates the positive human identity.
	Yeah, this is one of the things that Haidt was concerned about, because basically he noticed that the conservatives engage all six of these moral foundations, whereas the leftists only engage two.
	And this meant the leftists literally couldn't understand the moral objection the conservatives had to leftism.
	And they view the conservatives, therefore, they have to kind of make up a reason that the conservatives are bad, assuming they're evil, that they're deliberately trying to hurt people or something like that.
	Whereas, in fact, they've got other concerns as well.
	So competing moral claims on the same subject.
	And it's a kind of like ideological blindness from the leftists that prevent them from seeing that.
	A book called Righteous Mind.
	That's it.
	The Righteous Mind.
	Yes, it's an excellent book.
	Really excellent book.
	But yes, really good.
	Really good comment.
	Thank you, Dylan.
	Jack Burton says, Hi guys.
	Carl, I've heard you say loads that the situation of the West will get worse before it gets better.
	This weekend was an example of that.
	Where do you think the worst point will be?
	Great content all around, guys.
	Keep it up.
	I don't know.
	I dread to think.
	I mean, it could...
	It could honestly degenerate into full-on civil war, with a kind of social war going on between the left and the right.
	I mean, I don't know.
	That's the thing.
	I don't want to...
	I dare make predictions.
	But it could...
	We have seen what's happened in the US, at least.
	Yeah, I mean, it could stand to get a lot worse than it is now, and I think it will.
	Awesome Wells.
	Following your savage dissection of race-baiting fiasco, why is COVID killing people of colour?
	It was reported yesterday that the BBC has received a flood of complaints.
	It filled me with great pride since I submitted my own objections to the broadcaster, and if you object to anything the BBC says, submit your own objections.
	It's your company.
	You pay for it.
	They have every responsibility to listen to you.
	You can file your complaints.
	But this is proof positive that if enough of us make ourselves heard, we'll eventually force this nonsense into the national discourse on a more regular basis.
	Yes, and it really requires you to do your part.
	I know it's a lot of hassle to be like, right, I'm going to get an Ofcom and send a complaint, but you've got to do it if you want something to happen.
	Just for a moment here, what a bunch of scum they are as well.
	I mean, making documentaries complaining about racism when the corporation itself actively promoted an internship on the basis that we will hire you as long as you're not white.
	I just can't get over all these people.
	They don't care.
	They absolutely don't care what they're doing, do they?
	Moral consistency is for right-wingers.
	Moral consistency is for people who care about ethics.
	Hunter says, Hey Kyle, been a watch since Gamergate.
	Always nice to meet a veteran.
	Love what you have done with it.
	Thank you.
	Once correct, a statement you made a few days ago, Trump doesn't have a Gab account.
	It's maintained by the Gab team for Trump's statements, according to Andrew Torper.
	Right, thank you.
	See, there are statements made on there from Trump himself, but he doesn't personally maintain it, right?
	For a question, every powerful authoritarian communist regime has fallen over time, losing power.
	The Soviet Union and Venezuela, for an example, do you think that China will eventually collapse under its own weight, or have things changed enough where they can survive in perpetuity?
	I don't know.
	What do you think?
	Well, there's one difference, or major difference at least, which is we openly trade with China, which helps them.
	Shouldn't be doing that.
	Other than that, I mean, it depends how bad things really are there.
	Because, I mean, like you've spoken before, and I've spoken to Hugo and whatnot.
	One of the problems they'll have is people keep lying about statistics, and no one really knows how bad things are or how good things are.
	So, I don't know.
	But one of the things to definitely make them fall is not to help them.
	So we need to stop trading with them.
	I don't know what else to say.
	If we keep giving them money, they'll survive.
	It's that easy.
	But why are we allowing our Western companies to outsource their manufacturing to a fascist, genocidal regime?
	Yeah, it should just be illegal.
	Our country doesn't do trade with this country.
	This is a sanction from our government.
	Disney.
	Find somewhere else, like Taiwan, where you used to manufacture everything.
	Or, you know, wherever, Vietnam, whatever country wants it.
	Or, here's a radical thought, manufacture it in our own countries like they used to be done.
	But I mean, if you want to make cheap tat, this is a point.
	So cheap tat is never going to be made in Britain or America or where wages are high, right?
	Absolute cheap tat that needs to be...
	It just won't be, we will have restricted access to cheap tat.
	I know, right?
	But if cheap tat is always going to be needed, which it seems it is going to be, I'd rather have it away from the fascist dictatorship and just somewhere else.
	I'd rather not enrich the fascist dictatorship.
	I don't know what to say.
	BJP are some weird people in India.
	They're some right-wing types.
	But they seem less extreme to me than the Communist Party of China.
	So, I mean, just move it.
	Anywhere else.
	Brazil, Bolsonaro, all great.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I don't even care.
	Just not the Nazis in China.
	Oh, boy.
	Joseph Woodland says, here's a keto white pill.
	Carl, you can fit an entire fry up in an omelette if your pan's wide enough and your timing is right.
	God, Joseph, I love the way you act like I didn't already know that.
	My Saturday ritual is get up in the afternoon, well, early afternoon, because I've got to get up early every day, and so I don't get to have lions anymore, so I get to have a lion on Saturday, and then do a nice big fat omelette that's full of bacon, mushrooms, and cheese, and anything else.
	It's good.
	Very good.
	In addition, the UK courts are also awful.
	We will hear the judgement of the Supreme Court in regards to gender pay discrimination on Friday.
	This will have far-reaching and terrifying precedent if it goes the way of the claimants.
	More on that when the decision is announced at Mr Winter's Essays at Locals.
	Good to know.
	I'll have to check up on that because that sounds like something we'll want to talk about.
	Right.
