	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus users for the 26th of April 2021.
	I am joined by Carl, and today we're going to be covering the Freedom March in London, which no one in the mainstream of Britain is covering for some reason.
	It's completely being ignored.
	The fact that the British courts have decided to basically criminalise turf opinions now, and that diversity finally kills the Oscars, I guess.
	final blow anyway let's get into it so first thing i want to mention was the tucker carlson anglo-saxon voting rights premium podcast we did about the uh american was it first caucus bringing up the idea of anglo-saxon political traditions and how this ties in with tucker carlson talking about uh voting rights of native people within a country yeah how that all ties in where that should be done and up hopefully by this afternoon so that should be up being premium content there uh If we get it done, if not the day after.
	So look forward to that.
	Also, quick to mention, and we're going to clip this for YouTube, there are multiple videos which we can't put on YouTube because they go against YouTube's editorial policy.
	So there's about three of these now.
	There's probably going to be more in the future.
	If you want to see these exclusive videos, they'll probably be over at BitChute and whatnot and the alternatives because they just can't be on YouTube.
	I thought we'd better people know.
	And on the website, of course.
	Go to the website, see the full podcast in which we have those sacred clips that cannot be seen.
	Profane, actually.
	Forbidden profane.
	How dare we talk about something that YouTube has decided that they know the truth of?
	They know the truth.
	They control the leaves of power.
	All we can do as mere mortals is sit there and genuflect towards the god...
	Was it WikiWiki?
	I don't know how to pronounce her name.
	And just do exactly as she tells us as she's whipping us in the back.
	Yeah, so there's some exclusive content, not premium content, over on the website, Bitshoot and whatnot.
	Go check it out, in case you're wondering why sometimes there's two clips instead of three on this channel.
	But anyway, thank you.
	Okay, so we'll clip that, we'll put that on YouTube, just to let people who don't come to the site know.
	But let's get right into it.
	The first thing I wanted to talk about was the London Freedom March, which is a bit of a weird, broad title because I didn't even know what the heck it was.
	Like, two days before, I got a message.
	I think it was John who told me that this was going on in London.
	And the way it ran was really strange.
	Like, it's...
	So broad that it's hard to define, and this gives it some problems but also gives it a bunch of strengths, and we'll get into it.
	So essentially it's a bunch of people who, through word of mouth, decided we're all going to gather in Hyde Park and then go on a big march, and no one's organizing this, we swear.
	Governor.
	Because if you are organizing it, it's a £10,000 fine.
	So, no one was.
	So I didn't know anything about this.
	I had no idea this was going to happen until you mentioned it.
	And so it looks to me like it's just some sort of grassroots social media campaign that just kind of went viral, like the storming Area 51 sort of thing, where people thought this was funny, this was a good idea, and we'll just go down and do it.
	But of course, because it's a forbidden topic, the fact that people are criticising government policy, that...
	Thanks, YouTube, by the way.
	You know, God forbid we're allowed to criticize our government's policies.
	Yeah, it's not being spread through the mainstream social medias either.
	I mean, like, the Area 51 one would be on Facebook and whatnot.
	It's not on Facebook, it's not on those places.
	If it is found, they typically take that kind of stuff down.
	So it's being spread through, like, Telegram channels and decentralized networks, which is just really interesting.
	Like, I've not seen a movement work like this in the UK. Can't stop the signal.
	Yeah, you just can't.
	So I just wanted to show some of the images.
	We can just click on some of these.
	Well, me and John went down and we just filmed it because, I mean, yeah, why not?
	So you can just flick through just to show the police.
	So this is some lady just putting up stickers.
	You can see why we can't put this on YouTube.
	Yeah, so there's the police.
	And what was interesting is because there's so many people, the police just stood by and watched because what can you do if you do the next one?
	Just see them standing around on their phones and whatnot.
	At least they've got their masks on.
	Yeah, at least they've got their masks on.
	So the next thing I want to show was the diversity of the crowd.
	So you can see here there's this guy with this Palestinian flag.
	If you go to the next one, there's the guy with the anti-communist symbol for a shirt.
	And the next one, someone in a Guy Fawkes mask doing his thing.
	And then just the more police who turned up.
	But it was really diverse.
	I don't just mean in colour and ethnicity as the government would.
	Genuine plurality of ideas represented here.
	Massive diversity of opinion.
	But so one of the things that I'm going to hazard a guess at, like I said, I didn't go to this.
	So I'm going to hazard a guess that it's a plurality of opinions that have all been forbidden by the mainstream.
	Essentially, yeah.
	So I just wanted to go through some footage.
	So we're just going to play this first one just so you can get a sense of what it was like there.
	So there's a group in Hyde Park and a group that were marching up and them joining together and how big it was.
	So let's just play this.
	Go Britain!
	We are free!
	I mean, those were the chants all day, just screaming, we are free.
	So let's play this.
	This is just a time lapse.
	It's a bit long.
	There's no audio.
	I just wanted to show how long it goes on for.
	So if we can start playing that, we're just going to talk over it because it goes on forever to demonstrate the size of the crowd here.
	I mean, just first thing, we tried to estimate this.
	It's pretty hard to estimate things like this.
	But we stood around for about 20 minutes filming this crowd.
	And I estimated when you slow down, it's about 12 people a second walking over at least.
	So just for our 20 minutes we were there, at least 15,000 people went past.
	We didn't film the whole thing because a bunch of people already walked forwards and a bunch of people afterwards.
	We just couldn't stand there forever.
	So a bare minimum 15,000, definitely more than that.
	But that's how many were there.
	I mean, it was freaking huge.
	Like, I haven't seen a movement like this as big in the UK. Because this isn't France or anything.
	No, no, no.
	Don't typically engage in such...
	But it's also very international.
	I'm seeing, you know, I saw like Swedish flag, Scottish flag, English flag, and so it's all this, you know, just a coalition of people who have been brought together because of opposition to tyrannical policy.
	Yeah, I mean, because the group's there.
	I mean, this is only focused on, of course, the government policy regards to COVID. But there's a huge, broad amount there.
	You've got the guys who are just anti-lockdown.
	You've got people who are anti-vaccine passport.
	You've got people who are just anti-mask mandates.
	you've got people on the side of that they're just anti-vaccine in general, whether it be because of personal choice or because they're the types who believe that all these things are evil, or you've got people who just don't believe any of the data.
	I mean, that's the massive broad range of spectrum and the, the anti-lockdown stuff and the anti-vaccine passport stuff.
	I mean, you would imagine this would be fairly accepted opinion within the UK, but it's been lumped in with, with every other group here as a forbidden opinion for some reason, which is just shows how far the censorship goes.
	It's not just, oh, because I mean, before all of this, you would tolerate.
	Someone would be like, oh, I don't believe the numbers on this, or, oh, I think vaccines do X, Y, and Z. And this was all tolerated.
	It was like, right, okay, there are odds to believe that, who cares?
	And then the censorship got worse and worse, and then those things went.
	And you saw, like, Alex Jones and every conspiracy theory going went.
	And now it's just got worse and worse and worse, and you've got people like, you know, probably Toby Young being anti-lockdown.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the lockdown sceptics.
	Yeah, I mean, these guys would be part of this crowd now of people who have been censored.
	Because that's the weird thing.
	I couldn't really find much that orientated them all around something except the fact that they're all...
	Look at that banner.
	We definitely can't put this on YouTube.
	Yeah, but this is what I mean.
	You find such a broad range of opinion.
	You've got the types who believe everything is fake.
	You've got the types who just have criticism of government lockdown policy.
	And they're all in the same position because they're all being shut out by the mainstream to give their opinion or censored by social media.
	I mean, one of the chants I kept hearing from people, they were shouting at bystanders, put that on YouTube and Facebook and you got banned like us?
	So just everyone chanting, like, we've been banned, but we're still here, like, we're not Russian bots.
	Yeah, we're not dead.
	Yeah, we're still able to come out and do our thing.
	So that's something I wanted to mention.
	There's also something to be said.
	So, the criticism against this is endlessly going to be stuff like, oh, you just want to kill Granny because you're all out spreading COVID and whatnot.
	I mean, you know what it's like.
	Imagine if someone literally doesn't say you want to kill Granny.
	I mean, what...
	But you know how it is.
	I was watching Voltaire's Ghost talk about this with a different context, but there's something almost getting to the point where I'm like, you know what, maybe the response should be as absurd as the accusations, and just turn around and be like, yeah, that's based.
	Because it's just so stupid.
	But we'll get into the response in a minute, because people are trying to argue that, yes, these people are just trying to kill Granny.
	But you guys hate Granny.
	She voted for Brexit.
	Yeah, so let's get that next piece up here.
	So this is just some aerial footage.
	If we can scroll down a little bit, just so people can see it.
	Some guy with a drone filming how big it is, so you can get more of a sense of this.
	This was pretty freaking huge.
	This is enormous.
	How did I not see this on social media?
	Exactly.
	Oh, look, it's all the people who've been banned, that's why.
	Yeah, but it also was banned by the mainstream.
	Like the BBC, we were checking our phones while we were walking around filming this.
	Nothing.
	Nada.
	Absolutely nothing.
	The next video I wanted to play was just to give you an understanding of what happened.
	So because you can't organise a protest, what they do here, as you can see, is just walk for ages.
	And because no one's in charge, you're just walking.
	And you just happen to be a bunch of guys walking somewhere.
	Maybe you go to the shops, I don't know.
	Happened to be 20,000 people just walking along.
	We'll just go to the shops, mate, all together.
	Don't know anyone around here.
	What are you talking about?
	So the informal, because it's so decentralized, I wanted to play it just so you could see the route that was taken.
	So let's play this video.
	It's got no sound, but it's just a show, you know, meaning a Hyde Park, and then it sort of snaked along around London, down to Westminster, back along there, and then back up to Hyde Park, in which people will gather again to just hang out.
	And then they're just like, yeah, we're just hanging out at Hyde Park.
	Well, you go, no, I have nothing to do with no protest.
	What are you talking about?
	And it's just really weird.
	It's just a nice day.
	Yeah.
	The day ended, unfortunately, with a little bit of violence.
	So, as I said, they went back to Hyde Park and there were people pointing out that the police had been injured.
	I didn't know what had taken place, so then I looked up some of the recordings and someone recorded the whole instance.
	If we can get the next link up, you can see here they were hanging out in Hyde Park by the looks of it.
	Some people had set up drums and stuff.
	They wanted to jam for freedom or whatever the heck the name was.
	I've forgotten it.
	Yeah.
	And the police didn't like this because it looks like a gathering.
	They tried to intervene and shut this down so we can get the next link.
	You can see them coming in here, trying to shut down people playing drums in public.
	Why didn't they just start shouting Black Lives Matter?
	I don't know.
	I don't really get why the police...
	The power word that destroys police's ability to intervene.
	Neil.
	Neil boy!
	Exactly.
	Black Lives Matter now on your knees, Mr.
	Police Officer.
	But I don't know why the police decided to do this.
	Weird.
	And, of course, because there's just so many people, and so many of them are of the opinion that you guys suck because you're trying to shut down our freedom to just gather in public, a position I'm not unsympathetic to, but I don't endorse what they did in response.
	which is that they started fighting with the police so if we get the next one up you can see that they you know there's just loads and loads of people you were not going to control this crowd with 20 30 officers and so they started throwing in bottles and whatnot and that's what called the blood you can see on the police officers so of the protest itself some significant people were in attendance so So Lawrence Fox had turned up in attendance, which is quite nice.
	I didn't get to meet him, but he's running for mayor of London, in case people don't know.
	Also David Curtin had turned up.
	I could see him taking pictures with people.
	A lot of folks were handing out Lawrence Fox or Heritage Party literature for David Curtin of the protesters.
	These were their supporters, and they'll be voting in the coming election.
	So...
	That's the thing.
	You can ban them.
	They've still got the vote.
	Anyway, the next thing I wanted to do was the international response.
	So Candace Owens, I did see, had retweeted this, being like, keep going Brits, so inspired to see people taking back their rights.
	No government anywhere ever has the right to tell you when and where you're allowed to see your family or how you're allowed to breathe.
	So...
	Cool.
	Endorse.
	It's a good statement.
	I find it strange, though.
	This would be pretty typical in the United States, I imagine.
	Why would you need to shut down?
	I mean, our lockdowns have been pretty ridiculous.
	And when you take it into the consideration that we're almost 50% vaccinated now, the COVID cases and deaths are at a rock-time bottom, which is why we're opening back up, what would be the opposition to this kind of thing?
	And sure, some of the people might believe in some kooky stuff, but I'm just to the point, like I said, where I'm just like, okay, whatever, I don't care.
	Because the thing is, like, the opposition to this, they're even more kooky.
	So the first thing here is just Sue Perkins, someone who celebrated the gatherings of the Sarah Everard vigils.
	But yeah, when it came to the people marching on Oxford Street, please go home, switch on the news, and look at the footage coming out of India.
	Why?
	They're not vaccinated.
	Why do we care?
	Why do we care what's happening in India, for the love of God, Sue?
	This is what happens when the virus overruns a health system.
	We've been trying so hard to stop that happening here.
	We've succeeded.
	It's not what we've been trying.
	Take the win, Sue!
	We conquered it.
	It is on the down.
	The whole point of being in lockdown and whatnot was surely so that we could go out and go back to normal.
	That was the point.
	15 years to flatten the curve, says Sue Perkins.
	Yeah.
	Don't pee on all our chips, Tar.
	Okay, yeah, moron.
	I will literally pee on your chips.
	Sorry, you just...
	Jesus Christ.
	So yeah, the gathering's for me, but not for thee, because your gathering's evil.
	My gatherings are virtuous.
	But she's not the only one.
	Us, us, us, us.
	So the next one I wanted to get up was this doctor, Dr.
	Samantha Batraden, and...
	This poor doctor, she works in ICU. Of course, she just works in ICU. That's all she ever does.
	Nothing else.
	She's horrified to see all this.
	She says, In India, patients are dying on the pavement whilst London people are marching down the road in an anti-lockdown protest.
	There but for the grace of God.
	You're a moron.
	People dying in India has nothing to do with what's happening in the UK. I also can't help but notice, but there is no pavement on the street.
	Yeah.
	So they're not, actually.
	Sorry, Doug.
	So these tragic images need to be projected on big screens where all those protesting can see them.
	My heart is broken.
	And it's just like, you're just not thinking.
	But why?
	Like, I don't get it.
	Like, there's a massive outbreak of COVID in India, and a lot of people are dying there.
	And therefore, people in the UK should not be free to go outside.
	You know, all those vaccinated people, or people who have had it, or people who aren't vulnerable to it.
	It's pathetic.
	And she carried on with this.
	The next one I wanted to get up, if you can give the next like.
	It's just a...
	There should be one before that.
	But anyway, she just says, absolutely devastating for NHS staff, for all those who have relatives in India.
	Again, not an argument.
	I mean, it's just nada.
	What's this supposed to mean?
	I don't know.
	This protest is devastating for NHS staff.
	Why?
	Well, there's going to be no consequence to it because everyone's been vaccinated, but...
	How many people in India died because of this protest in London?
	I mean, you tell me.
	It's brain dead.
	Stupid.
	It's such a desperate narrative, though.
	It's such a desperate narrative.
	Just to labour the point as well, if we can get up the COVID death numbers for the UK, you can see that.
	I mean, take the win.
	Like, you want it there.
	The whole point of us doing all of this was to get back to normal.
	Deaths yesterday was 11.
	Yeah, so the whole point of all of that stuff was to get back to normal.
	People go back to normal and you're like, no, you can't do this!
	I bet more people died of orgasms yesterday than COVID. Can you dive?
	Of course.
	We'll have to try it out.
	Anyway.
	I'm not saying it happens often, but that was the point.
	But she didn't stop there.
	She kept virtue signaling about this.
	And it's not just her.
	I'm not picking on her specifically.
	She's just a representative of what I saw trending in response to this.
	So we can go to the next link.
	It's her saying, I'll be honest, as an ICU doctor, this actually makes my want to cry.
	A gut punch for all NHS staff everywhere tonight.
	I'm gutted.
	Hashtag anti-lockdown.
	Hashtag too tired for this S. Maybe she can cry herself to sleep with her wine.
	Hmm.
	Except, you know how this works.
	I'm an ICU doctor.
	That's all I do.
	I work on the front lines.
	I need the virtue points.
	I do happen to be a part of Momentum and vote Jeremy Corbyn as well.
	Don't know whether that's right.
	I'm making that up.
	I don't know.
	But what she is, for sure, is the president of a lobbying group.
	I'm not joking.
	Doctors Association UK. They define themselves in here, we are strictly a non-profit campaigning and lobbying organisation.
	I don't really want doctors campaigning and lobbying, thank you.
	These are the verified check marks.
	If you scroll to the bottom, just so we can see her signature and her name.
	Yep, that's her.
	She's the president, founder of a lobbying organisation.
	UK doctors' voices have not been heard collectively until now.
	That's because we don't need to.
	But also, it's just like, look at this side who are protesting.
	They are banned from everything.
	And they're banned because they spread fear or misinformation.
	This person has a checkmark, runs a lobbying organisation.
	The institutional power imbalance is ridiculous.
	The way they're treated.
	That's why I've got such sympathy for the protesters.
	I don't have a huge interest in COVID stuff.
	I'm sure you know.
	I've told you and whatnot.
	I usually let you cover this kind of stuff.
	Callum hates it when I keep covering it because it's boring.
	Yeah, I just don't.
	But it's got to be done.
	It's just so sad.
	We're not going to get banned from YouTube if we ignore it.
	I'm not saying that.
	It's just so sad that this power imbalance exists and everyone just treats it as if, oh, the holy ICU nurse here who has no other motive whatsoever, she's allowed to spread her fear.
	But if people dare spread something about vaccines, then they've got to go.
	They're evil.
	I mean, she is literally fear-mongering over a bunch of protests that are going to have zero effect on the COVID rate.
	Literally how many Indians died.
	Tell me.
	Tell me.
	Give me the number.
	How many people in New Delhi died because of a protest in London?
	He's so stupid.
	The British press covered this, minusculely.
	The worst example probably being the Daily Mail.
	So if you can scroll down here just so, because I think it's MSN News that put this.
	Hundreds marched through London in protest against vaccine passport.
	I mean, that's strictly true.
	Hundreds.
	There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds.
	And usually in English we use the term thousands or tens of thousands to summarize the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds that we're all adding up here.
	I love the idea that everyone at the Daily Mail got primary school education.
	They never got to the thousands.
	They only learnt the hundreds.
	You know what's interesting?
	My son's six, and I have actually recently been introducing him to the concept of scaling up his language.
	Because he tried to describe 1,100 as 1,100 or something like that.
	And I was like, no.
	And he was like, ah, right.
	He got it really quickly.
	Maybe I can teach the Daily Mail.
	Yeah.
	You can bring them in for school, give them some tutoring.
	So, pathetic.
	The BBC, as I said, didn't say nada until they saw that some police officers were hurt, and then they reported the police attacks at anti-lockdown protests.
	Now it's a far-right rally!
	Yeah, but they're reporting here on the condemnation of the violence, which, I mean, who doesn't?
	Yeah.
	But they did not want to report on the protests at all, which is embarrassing, because you see them report on the kill-the-bill protests, you see them reporting on...
	The Sarah Everard visual, all this stuff, you know, anytime they can, but literally thousands upon thousands and thousands of people walk in London and they're just eyes closed.
	Didn't see it, mate.
	Nothing's happening.
	It's pathetic.
	So the last thing I wanted to mention was the forum response.
	Again, this is what's so strange.
	Aussie News.
	Sky News Australia.
	It's like watching into a foreign world or something, the way they covered this.
	So let's play the clip of their view on all of this and compare that to the BBC and the Daily Mail showing hundreds of people.
	Rita, we've seen in London demonstrations against the lockdown.
	So, I mean, the fight back has begun against lockdown lunacy.
	Have a look.
	Here are some shots from London, Rita.
	Amazing shots.
	Yes, massive crowds, peaceful, which is lovely to see, and they are wanting their freedoms reinstated.
	They want to be able to see their family, hold funerals, where numbers aren't limited and people aren't socially distanced, and get businesses back operating at full capacity, particularly given how well they've gone with their vaccine rollout.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	They feel like they've been voiceless, yeah.
	Well, they're not voiceless, as we know.
	Lawrence Fox, who set up his reclaim party, he'll be looking at those demonstrations, Rita and James, and going, wow, I'm on to something here.
	Because as Rita says, both Labor and the Conservatives there, well, Boris Johnson is a joke, he's not a Conservative.
	But we will be speaking to Lawrence Fox on the show next week, because now Nigel Farage has come out and has backed Lawrence Fox for that mayoral position.
	Patrolled by the colonies.
	I know, right?
	It's so night and day.
	Like, there's British media.
	Hundreds march, play it down, didn't happen, blah, blah.
	And that's the Daily Mail, the right-wing media.
	Right-wing press.
	Yeah.
	Like, Jesus Christ.
	But what I love about this is, like, you know, Lawrence Fox polling at, like, 1% in London, but 35% in Australia.
	I'm joking, obviously.
	I don't know what the Reclaimed Party's polling at in Australia.
	But, like, you know, it's wild.
	Clearly popular.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, no, but you are right.
	It's like dispatches from another dimension.
	In an alternate reality where wokeism failed to take over the United Kingdom, this is the kind of media we'd get.
	But instead, we get...
	Yeah, nothing like that exists in Britain.
	I mean, nothing at all.
	I mean, even the right-wing press, as it keeps getting labeled, nada.
	Nada.
	They completely bend the knee on anything like this.
	Yeah, the right-wing press will also agree that trans women are women and turfs are evil.
	Which is, incidentally, what we're going to be talking about now.
	So I guess we'll begin with who is Maya Forstater.
	Forstater, I don't really know how to pronounce her name because I've only ever seen it written down.
	But she describes herself on her Twitter bio as a gendered dissident.
	You know, she doesn't have her pronouns there.
	I think that's interesting, don't you?
	I think that kind of gives us a bit of a big reveal.
	We're dealing with a gender-critical feminist, otherwise known as a TERF, which I think is fair to call TERF a slur at this point.
	It stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
	Common parlance, I think it's kind of like Tory, like it was meant to be a slur, and now it's just like a badge of honour.
	It's like, yeah, sure, whatever.
	I don't know.
	I mean, it's kind of ridiculous.
	I mean, I get called a TERF and it's like, I'm not a feminist.
	Call me a TERF, you dunces.
	Sure, but like Posey Parker and whatnot, they'll seem to wear the TERF badge with pride.
	That's fine, but I actually think it's a very poor manoeuvre to adopt the framing of your opposition.
	Because when you're being framed as something bad, it's probably best not to...
	I mean, this is why the liberals should never really call themselves capitalists.
	Because as I understand, this is a word that's essentially been invented by communists.
	What does that mean?
	I believe that you have personal property rights.
	Yeah.
	And so I'm a liberal.
	I'm not anything that you say, but anyway.
	But anyway, yeah, so the fact that they call themselves, you know, gender dissidents or gender critical, that's good.
	Keep that.
	Don't accept the label TERF. But anyway, so let's go back to December 2019 because Maya Forstater got herself in trouble.
	She was a visiting fellow at the Centre for Global Development, an international think tank which campaigns against poverty and inequality.
	And her contract was not renewed at this charity because of what was called offensive and exclusionary language in tweets, opposing government reforms or proposals to reform the Gender Recognition Act to allow people to self-identify as the opposite sex. opposing government reforms or proposals to reform the Gender Recognition Now, that sounds terrible, doesn't it?
	I mean, exclusionary language.
	All language is exclusionary.
	I mean, otherwise you don't have anything defined, and so language becomes meaningless if we can't exclude things from certain things anyway.
	But anyway, the Central London Employment Tribunal convened a preliminary hearing of the issue of such radical tweets like, men cannot change into women.
	I mean, this is enough to get you put on a hate list now, so dare you have that opinion.
	And she was arguing that actually this is a philosophical belief that I hold and should be protected under the 2010 Equality Act, because apparently you can't be discriminated against because of your philosophical beliefs.
	Yeah, so the wording is religious or belief is the protected characteristic.
	There have been cases in which an individual, for example, who was a vegan, worked for someone and was fired for being a vegan.
	He didn't want to hire a vegan.
	And in response, the vegan sued the business and won because his belief that eating meat is immoral and blah, blah, blah was protected by the law.
	Hmm.
	Well, my false status beliefs weren't protected by the law.
	What a surprise.
	The law only goes one way.
	Yeah, it only goes one way.
	I mean, Judge James Taylor said, quote, us, us, us, us.
	I've got to drop that.
	It's all that's happening.
	Judge James Taylor ruled that Forstater's views did not have the protected characteristic of philosophical belief.
	I conclude, from the totality of the evidence, that Forstater is absolutist in her view of sex, and that it is a core component of her belief that she will refer to a person by the sex she considered appropriate.
	Even if it violates the dignity and or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment, this approach is not worthy of respect in a democratic society.
	So the judge is just like, don't like it.
	Yeah.
	Not racist, just don't like it.
	He literally describes it as a belief.
	Yeah.
	But it's not a belief.
	Yeah.
	It's not a philosophical belief.
	It's just she believes these things.
	Okay.
	But, I mean, she's got an absolute position.
	What's that?
	The world's not flat?
	Yeah, I mean, that's my absolute position.
	I'm a total bigot to flat-earthers.
	I'm sorry.
	By Judge James Taylor's view, I have an absolutist view that the world is round.
	And, in fact, it's not even the center of the universe.
	Like, this is going to be a mad absolutist belief that I have here.
	You're...
	Round-world-ism is not worthy of respect in a democratic society.
	Exactly.
	I'm literally giving no time at all to the flat-earth argument.
	I'm not even hearing.
	And I'm going to shame any flat-earthers.
	I'm going to literally degrade their opinions.
	I'm going to say, listen, dunce, you can literally put a camera on a balloon and just send it up into space, and you see the earth curving the higher up it gets.
	I'm just saying, you're wrong.
	Now, dear trans people, give birth to a baby.
	Oh, look at my absolutist views!
	But this is the thing, right?
	The approach is what's being objected to here, though.
	It's weird that he...
	The way he frames this is actually not very useful, because he says, right, she's absolutist in her view of sex as a core component of her belief that she'll refer to a person...
	By the sex that she considers appropriate.
	And so it's actually not the belief itself.
	It's her approach is that the thing.
	So it doesn't matter whether she believes this or not, really.
	What matters is she's not going to indulge other people's beliefs.
	So, you know, I mean, if someone happened to believe something that's crazy, as in you could get some furry who comes along in his furry suit, dressed like a fox or something, and says, you'll refer to me as Mr.
	Whiskers, I'll be like, no, I won't, James.
	I'm not going to refer to you as Mr.
	Whiskers.
	And, well, I'm going to the judge then.
	You know, and Judge James Taylor will turn around and say, well, you're humiliating this.
	This is an offensive environment.
	You're humiliating Mr.
	Whiskers.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	This approach is not worthy of respect in a democratic society, but Mr.
	Whiskers is.
	Like, okay, fine.
	All right.
	We have to keep up appearances, apparently.
	So Forstator replied to this by saying, my belief is that sex is a biological fact and it's immutable.
	Radical!
	Also, every biologist believes this.
	This is why Richard Dawkins was in so much trouble recently, just to note.
	There are two sexes, male and female.
	Men and boys are male, girls and women are female.
	It's impossible to change sex, and until very recently, these were understood as basic facts of life by almost everybody.
	Yeah.
	But apparently not the legal system in the UK. What's very strange about that is that it is actually Conservative Party policy that that's the case.
	What, men and women are...
	Yeah, like the Equality Department, Liz Truss, they've made this hammered out pretty clear that no, this is the position of the government.
	Well, I look forward to seeing her getting in trouble then.
	Yeah.
	Lewis Rhee, a solicitor who advised on the case, said, Judge Taylor held that the claimant's view in its absolutist nature is incompatible with human dignity and the fundamental rights of others.
	The fundamental right of someone to believe that the earth is flat is a dignity, a human dignity, that I am not allowed to violate.
	That's where we are.
	If you disagree, you're violating dignity.
	How can it be a fundamental right to have people agree with me?
	I know.
	The guy isn't thinking.
	No.
	Not even the French argue that's a fundamental right.
	But then we're using exclusionary words, words that have definitions.
	Yeah.
	And as you say, not even the French believe this.
	And if the French don't even believe this, and they're the source of the problem, with the idea that rights are constructed by the Satan and they're not inherent, then if the French don't even believe it, then what the hell are we doing?
	You know, what's going on here, right?
	But he observed that the claimant was not entitled to ignore the legal rights of a person who has transitioned from male to female, or vice versa, and the enormous pain that can be caused by misgendering a person.
	What fundamental legal rights?
	What the hell are you talking about?
	She just tweeted that she doesn't think that men can become women and women can become men.
	And you're like, oh, they're fundamental rights.
	What?
	Anyway.
	Do we have a legal right to be called something?
	Apparently we do.
	And so I'll go for your majesty.
	Yeah.
	If that's okay.
	If the right honorable.
	Yeah.
	Right Honourable God Emperor of Mankind, Carl Benjamin, could take the...
	If you don't agree, you're violating my fundamental right of dignity.
	Yeah, trust me, I'm going to get James Taylor as my judge.
	Judge Taylor, she re-goes on.
	It's ridiculous!
	He just walks into the office, it's actually like he's killed the judge, and it's a clown wearing his suit or something.
	That's right.
	It's so stupid.
	I hope he was wearing clown makeup when he gave this ruling, to be honest.
	But there's the thing, it sounds like someone's been banned from Tumblr, but this is actually, no, this is a legal precedent that's being set in the United Kingdom, right?
	The right honourable moderator fixie-fur.
	Rhea says, Judge Taylor acknowledged that there has nothing to stop the claimant from campaigning against the proposed revisions to the Gender Recognition Act, or expressing her opinion that there should be some spaces that are restricted to women assigned female at birth.
	However, she can do so without insisting on calling trans women men.
	Why do you care?
	Like, why do you care?
	She went on Twitter and called a trans woman a man.
	Well, I mean, she can try and get this law overturned, but she's not allowed to do that.
	It's so absurd.
	It's...
	Oh, God, I hear it.
	It's the fact that her belief necessarily involves violating the dignity of others, which means it's not protected under the Equality Act.
	Whoa, doesn't that really seriously condemn Islam, though?
	Yeah.
	I mean, how do the Abrahamic faiths feel about homosexuality?
	I mean, I'm just saying you're not entitled to protection under the Equality Act.
	But anyway, so yeah, so essentially democracy demands that you call trans women women and trans men men, according to this.
	And so that's where Britain is at the moment.
	In fact, that was in 2019.
	But this is still carrying on.
	Any Conservatives listening, get rid of it.
	Get rid of the Equality Act.
	It is garbage.
	Yes, now!
	Stop waiting!
	This is exactly, why would you, why would you have, oh, it's a labor holdover.
	What's the problem with this?
	It's a labor holdover.
	That's the problem with it.
	Anyway, Pete Daly of Slater and Gordon, representing Force Data, said, the significance of this judgment should not be downplayed.
	Had our client been successful, should have established in law protection for people on any side of this debate to express their beliefs without fear of being discriminated against, but of course, because the judge rule exists.
	And so the precedent is, you aren't allowed to say certain things on Twitter that aren't even, like, insults now?
	They're just statements of belief?
	Anyway, so this gained the attention of J.K. Rowling at the time.
	J.K. Rowling, at the time, it was kind of on the fence whether she would be The Satan of the progressive biblical narrative.
	But now, in two years on, we obviously know that she's the worst person on Earth.
	So thank you for the left for telling us about that.
	But, I mean, she...
	And this is the extent to how awful the statement from Rowling is, right?
	She tweeted, Dress however you please.
	Call yourself whatever you like.
	Sleep with any consenting adult who will have you.
	Live your best life in peace and security, but force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real.
	Hashtag I stand with Maya.
	Mad.
	Radical.
	Welcome to the far right, JK. She also accused the Employment Tribunal of having retweeted transphobic material, including a newspaper cartoon of a person flashing two women at London's swimming pool, with the caption, It's alright, it's a woman's penis.
	So what, are they going to disagree?
	Don't know.
	Are they going to try and tell me that's not a woman's penis?
	I think that legally we have to say that it is a woman's penis.
	I don't want to get, you know, the government on our arse.
	Court documents show that she had previously tweeted, it's unfair and unsafe for trans women to compete in women's sports.
	Well, I can see why the judge came down so hard against her now.
	But on the plus side, 4Starter did raise a lot of money doing this.
	She raised £124,000, so about $180,000, something like that.
	So she at least has a sizable community backing her, which was the next one, John.
	For some reason that's come up, but anyway.
	So she did pretty well, and she's fine, which is good.
	But, right, and then so the reason that this is relevant is because this is a case that is about to have its decision made on appeal.
	So she has appealed this, obviously, and of course, as these things do, take two years to go through, because why not?
	You can't have a quick decision on something this important.
	But anyway, this is why this came up.
	So her appeal is being heard next week.
	It will include an intervention from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.
	Who's in charge of that?
	Quality Human Rights Commission.
	I'll be Liz Truss and Kelly Badenlock.
	Yes, I would.
	That's what I asked.
	So hopefully we get a nice intervention from the two most based women in society who can put their knees on the neck of Judge James Taylor.
	But yeah, so the views themselves, right?
	I love the way this is all framed, right?
	She says that losing her appeal would set a scary precedent, which of course it would, and it would be open season for women in particular, but for anybody who speaks up about women's sex-based rights.
	I mean, it affects everyone else, but sure, why not?
	It affects feminists too.
	Women most affected, okay.
	This is the thing, we're forced to defend the TERFs, but like five years ago, I was calling the TERFs idiots.
	Because they are.
	At your time, they were the biggest idiots in the room, for your opinion.
	And now it's like, actually, you guys look completely sane.
	Is that your position?
	That is my position, yeah.
	The intersectionals have made the turf sane.
	Which tells you everything you need to know about the intersectionals.
	Anyway.
	Sky replied, but her views cause serious offence and distress to many transgender people.
	No, we can't have people being offended.
	Not distress, anything but that.
	Many say that they amount to a denial of their right to exist and threaten a healthy and respectful workplace.
	Do you think she's building cams?
	What are you talking about?
	I tell you, if there's one thing I've noticed, it's that when intersectionality enters a workspace, it becomes way more healthy and respectful.
	Definitely doesn't lead to these kind of problems.
	I always hate this framing of, like, you're questioning their right to exist, as if you're literally like, yeah, we're going to kill you if you don't stop demanding pronouns.
	It's like, no, it's just, leave us alone, that's it.
	I think it's like, questioning someone's right to exist, what does that even mean?
	Like, if it was, we're going to kill you, like, you know, they're going to put them into camps, they're going to shoot them, put them up against a wall, or something like that.
	The correct use of that phrase.
	Well, I don't even know.
	I think that questioning someone's right to exist, I don't think that would sufficiently cover the depth of the problem that they're about to encounter, right?
	Hitler wasn't questioning the right of the Jews to exist.
	He was engaging in an active campaign of extermination.
	So, like, if you said, oh, Hitler was just questioning the right of the Jews to exist...
	You'd be downplaying it.
	Exactly.
	You'd be massively downplaying the Holocaust, right?
	So what are they trying to say with that?
	The question of the right to exist.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	But anyway, if a person obtains a gender recognition certificate, they should have the full protection of the law in exactly the same way we would expect anyone else to have the full protection of the law, says Inclusion and Diversity Consultant Bobby Pickard.
	What?
	I've got a piece of paper from the government that says I exist, therefore the law applies to me.
	I don't have a certificate that says that I exist, and I think the law applies to me too.
	Yeah, no one's questioning our rights to exist, but we don't need that piece of paper.
	I don't care about your opinion on it either, but anyway.
	This is like Ben Shapiro.
	He's got two marriage licenses, he always says.
	He's got one from the state in the garage who cares, and then one from his rabbi.
	That's the one that matters.
	You don't need a piece of paper from the state to say something's real or not.
	Well, apparently you do, because if we undermine that, then we fundamentally undermine protections for all trans people in the UK. What?
	Protections that force people to do something?
	That's not protection.
	That's not a protection.
	That's a privilege.
	It's a privilege.
	That's absolutely right.
	That's what an aristocrat has.
	But the tweets that she was sending are unacceptable to me personally.
	They're deeply offensive to me personally, says Miss Picard.
	Trans people in this country are being vilified for something that is natural, hormonal development of the brain in the womb, and no different from me being transgender as to having green eyes or brown hair or the color of your skin.
	Well...
	Am I going to say it?
	Can I say this?
	Can I say it?
	If it's so natural, why do you need therapy?
	Why do you need hormone therapy?
	Why do you need surgery?
	I mean, I didn't need anything to be done about the colour of my eyes or the colour of my skin because that was natural.
	In fact, I would suggest that the phrase natural means it doesn't require outside intervention.
	And if you do require outside intervention, and I'm sure justly so, I'm not saying it's wrong or anything like that, At least not yet.
	Can it be defined as natural?
	But that's an exclusive word, you've noticed.
	Some things fall outside of the definition of natural, and therefore that natural word has to go.
	But that's the point.
	The thing is, this goes back to the gay and straight debate.
	Is it something that is inherent to you?
	And I think that it is, right?
	I didn't get to choose my sexuality.
	I don't think a gay person gets to choose their sexuality.
	And I agree that like a trans person probably doesn't get to choose whether they're trans or not, right?
	But the left has undermined this completely because actually, no, no, no, it's all a social construct.
	Biology is nothing because what we're speaking of there is biological essentialism.
	This is a part of you.
	You can't change it, which again puts us in forced artist position where she's like, Well, I think that's a part of you.
	You can't change it.
	And the left's like, no, but it's not a part of you.
	You can just make it up as you want.
	Oh, well, I'm gay now.
	There we go.
	Well, then you can just choose not to be gay, can't you?
	Shut up.
	Yeah.
	You know?
	So it's like, you know, so you made a choice.
	So it's not even a belief that needs protection under the law.
	So you just chose it.
	So just choose the opposite.
	Just do it.
	What's preventing you?
	And that's the thing.
	It's such an obvious L for the left to go down this road.
	But that's where they've gone.
	And so now, that's why Maya Forstar is in so much trouble.
	Because she holds a severe conviction that's based in biological essentialism.
	If she was an intersectionalist and actually believed in social constructivism, she would have been just fine, but then she would also agree that trans women are women.
	Anyway, yeah, so this is a bad precedent that's about to be set in the UK. Hopefully, the Equality and Human Rights Commission overturns this and is just like, no.
	But anyway, the next thing I wanted to add to this is just this is the sort of thing that gets censored off the internet.
	So TikTok have banned the super straight movement and its creator.
	You may remember that TikToker Kyle Royce, just some young lad, Who was just thinking about this in his car, had put up a video saying, well, look, I want to define my sexuality as, and just to summarize, someone who is authentically female, so an authentic woman being a woman who's born female, identifies as female, and therefore...
	Can engage in a relationship that can produce viable offspring, right?
	That's basically the summary of what his super-straight sexuality was.
	And, apparently, far-right groups got hold of the term and have been pushing for it to become a part of the LGBTQ plus community, spreading hateful memes and starting petitions.
	I mean, I must say, it doesn't help that the initials come out as SS. He chose it!
	L-G-B-T-S-S! Actually, that does describe someone...
	However, social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit are now making an effort to stop the harmful content from being shared.
	I'm not sure who the victims of the super straight movement were.
	I'd like to see someone and the proof that they've had harm done to them.
	This person didn't want to have sex with me.
	That's not harm.
	Yeah, that's not.
	That's true.
	It seems kind of rapey, to be honest, on the part of the intersectionals there.
	But TikTok has banned the hashtag, super straight, so you can't use that now.
	And they said they did it for spreading hate speech and hateful ideologies.
	Hateful ideology.
	Hateful ideology.
	To say, I want to have sex with these people, but not them.
	Yes.
	If you're not having sex with this certain category of people because you don't think they're the same as this other category of people, then you're the problem.
	For example, if you're like, look, I'm a gay man, therefore I only want to have sex with gay men, you're a bigot for leaving out cis women.
	That's a hateful ideology.
	That's a hateful ideology.
	It's disgusting.
	Gay men need to be having sex with cis women.
	That's the TikTok's official position on this subject.
	I don't know why.
	But I mean, I would have just hit back with lovers, love you bigots.
	Yes, I'm a conservative.
	But actually...
	Now the positions are entirely reversed.
	In a statement to Pink News, a TikTok spokesperson said, and just before we get any further, TikTok is giving statements to Pink News on this.
	They're not giving statements to a normal outlet.
	No, no, no.
	The intersectional outlets.
	They say, our community guidelines make clear that we do not tolerate hate speech or hateful ideologies.
	We will take action when issues are brought to our attention.
	We'll continue to monitor this situation for further developments and take action wherever necessary.
	That's right, they're going to police super straight people on TikTok.
	We're monitoring this.
	You better be having sex with trannies or else you're in trouble.
	You're banned from TikTok!
	I've never had sex with a trans person in my life.
	I'm probably banned from TikTok.
	Oh boy, how far until that becomes Facebook policy and then the YouTube policy as well?
	We've already got a precedent.
	I love whoever wrote this article, right?
	They say, when you head to the super straight hashtag now, you're greeted with an error message which reads, no results found.
	It's not so much an error message, is it?
	It's censorship.
	Yeah, that's censorship, yeah.
	There's also an additional note that reads, the phrase may be associated with behavior or content that violates our guidelines.
	Promoting a safe and positive experience is TikTok's top priority.
	So if you're not prepared to suck the feminine penis, then you are violating TikTok's guidelines.
	I mean, keeping in mind here, TikTok is a Chinese company.
	I wonder what happens when you go to China and look up homosexuality.
	I think that China's official position is that it's a super straight state.
	Yeah.
	Not even joking.
	Sadly, there are other versions of the super straight hashtag, like misspelled super straight, are now being used to get around the bang.
	But thankfully, some members of the LGBTQ community are flooding the hashtag with positivity against the whole movement.
	That's what the D-Day landings were, the Normandy invasion and all that sort of stuff.
	It's positivity.
	Flooding the continent with positivity against Nazism.
	That's how you describe it.
	But the downside of this is, of course, what happens to those people on the other side.
	So this is just something I found floating around the internet.
	And I just figure we may as well just weed it word for word and then call this person a bigot.
	Today is five years since my double mastectomy.
	I didn't think it would hit me so hard, but it's really tough to deal with it.
	My scars are so large I want to crawl out of my skin.
	I can't believe I was allowed to do this as a child to have this procedure.
	No one could have prepared me for the reality of it.
	I was promised sunshine and rainbows, happiness.
	All my sadness and gender dysphoria would go away.
	Of course, a kid who is miserable would take that immediately.
	I don't even feel I fit into any gender anymore.
	My dysphoria is worse than I could have imagined.
	The fever dream that transitioned blinded me.
	I'm so tired.
	I wish I could go back to being a little girl and tell myself, no, this is the wrong path.
	I do hope that this bigot eventually gets de-platformed from TikTok because this is hate.
	You can hear the judge.
	Your opinion is not worthy of respect in a democratic society.
	Oof.
	That's exactly what he would have to say.
	He's forced into this position.
	But anyway.
	So that's what's going on in Britain regarding transgenderism and wokeness.
	God, we're a joke.
	I was going to say, you know the, um, what is it?
	Eat the bugs, live in the pod mantra?
	Yeah.
	Like, we're literally going to have to add, like, F to transgender.
	Suck the feminine penis, you make it?
	Yeah.
	Like, it's got to be on there or you're going to be banned.
	Yeah.
	If you don't have a dick in your mouth that belongs to a woman, you're not on our platform, says TikTok.
	Oh man.
	Other orifices might be acceptable.
	I guess it'll go to their board of directors or something to make that decision.
	But it's just so ridiculous.
	It's so obviously oppressive as well.
	Why are you so bothered about this?
	Why do you care?
	Oh, some people on the internet said something.
	Oh, really?
	Did they?
	It's like the hyper-conservatives who are really upset about, you know, like a gay man has sex with a gay man and perhaps just his own home.
	Yeah.
	Like, okay.
	Like, who are they following?
	Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?
	Well, apparently TikTok.
	Yeah.
	And the British government.
	And...
	But...
	The thing...
	I just hate this whole thing.
	But we'll talk about, like, the eat-the-bug stuff later.
	Because I do want to talk about the eat-the-bug stuff.
	Because I actually don't have a particular, like, aversion to eating bugs.
	Like...
	I don't really care, right?
	You know, if it tastes, you know, it's a perfectly acceptable source of food.
	Like, I eat prawns, right?
	And shrimp and stuff like this.
	What's the difference?
	The difference is how it's prepared, right?
	Because whenever you see it, it's like, oh, you're going to have to eat a burger.
	It's got a nice salad with a cockroach on it.
	It's like, right, eat this.
	So why?
	Why the hell can't you cook it first?
	Put it in a sausage.
	Chop it up, fry it, whatever it is.
	No, no, just a raw bug in shell eats.
	That's the problem that I think people have with it.
	If it was like, look, we use bugs in the sausages.
	It's sort of like the person giving you is mocking you.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's humiliation.
	We'll save this for another time.
	Yeah, we'll save this for another time, but that's what it's about.
	But anyway.
	I guess the last thing to talk about is the thing that nobody else is talking about.
	The most irrelevant thing in the world that actually nobody cares about in any way, shape or form.
	The Oscars.
	The failing, woke Oscars.
	According to Sam Harris's Twitter feed.
	So I guess we'll just watch a very brief highlights reel.
	It's about a minute long.
	This is what I got from Variety or somewhere like that.
	Welcome to the 93rd Oscars.
	It has been quite a year, and we are still smack dab in the middle of it.
	We are mourning the loss of so many, and I have to be honest, if things had gone differently this past week in Minneapolis, I might have traded in my heels for marching boots.
	Like, it's incredible.
	My mom met my dad.
	They had sex.
	It's amazing.
	Like, do you understand?
	I'm here.
	You know what I mean?
	So, I'm so happy to be alive.
	So I want to say thank you to our ancestors who put the work in, were denied, but never gave up.
	And I also stand here as Jamika and I break this glass ceiling with so much excitement for the future.
	Because I can picture Black trans women standing up here and Asian sisters and our Latina sisters and Indigenous women And I know that one day it won't be unusual or groundbreaking, it will just be normal.
	Please watch our movie on the largest screen possible, and one day, very, very soon, take everyone you know into a theater, shoulder to shoulder, in that dark space, and watch every film that's represented here tonight.
	we give this one to our wolf.
	Oh!
	Oh, oh, oh, oh!
	Some high-quality cringe you found there.
	I know!
	Remember when it used to be about movies?
	Okay, anyway, so...
	I'm just thinking about all of that.
	If I was in the audience, it'd be like, Boo, where's Ricky Gervais?
	Well, yeah, you can see that he wasn't invited back, unfortunately, because he was the last good thing about the Oscars.
	But this thing, like, look at the lunacy that is on display there.
	Like, someone dedicating it to a wolf and then yelling or howling?
	I mean, it's like 2012's, you know, like, feminist poetry sessions that everyone used to mock.
	Yeah, it's like feminist slam poetry being done at the Oscars now.
	But yeah, so I mean, I didn't watch this, so I'm just going off the coverage that's been going around, because like everyone else, why would you?
	And virtually no one watched this by the social media reaction to it.
	But the small cadre of Twitter lunatics who do watch it were furious that Chadwick Boseman was not given a posthumous Oscar, and instead it went to Anthony Hopkins.
	Now, I haven't seen either of the films that these people were in, and I don't care, but anyway.
	You usually give them to dead people?
	I can imagine they probably have in the past, you know, and Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer or something, like 43, so it is, you know, tragic, and I can see why they would expect it, but for some reason they gave it to the old straight white man.
	Make a joke.
	No.
	Just make it, go on, do it.
	So Chadwick Boseman had done a film called Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
	Didn't win an Oscar.
	Okay.
	Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
	Don't know why they didn't win an Oscar.
	An Oscar for a film called The Father, in which Anthony Hopkins plays a father, got the Oscar.
	See, the patriarchy is still part of the Oscar ceremony here.
	Have you heard of any of these?
	No.
	Has anyone?
	No.
	That's why no one watches.
	Because I was thinking, she's also saying, like, go and watch it on the biggest screen you can find.
	It's like, we're in lockdown.
	My phone is the biggest screen I can find.
	All of the cinemas have been shut.
	I know a bunch of them have closed down.
	Everything's moving to Netflix because it's the only thing the government will let us do anymore.
	And everyone's watching Godzilla vs.
	King Kong.
	I don't know what you're doing.
	Who are you people?
	Like, I don't know.
	Like, with that clip, the little clip show we had at the front, I don't know who any of those people were.
	If I passed them on the street, I wouldn't know.
	Unless they, of course, are yelling something about transgenderism at me.
	But yeah, Hopkins won the prestigious award, which I think is really taking it too far, New York Post, for his role in the drama The Father.
	However, he wasn't able to attend the ceremony.
	And so have a very day.
	People on Twitter are furious.
	Are you serious, Oscars?
	You had one thing to do this year, which is honor Chadwick Boseman for best actor.
	But the only sure thing this year is that you gave the best actor trophy to Anthony Hopkins for a movie no one saw.
	I'm sorry, nobody saw Ma Rainey's Black Bottom either, if that helps.
	Hopkins didn't even show up.
	Ridiculous.
	Furious.
	Oscar's ending this way is the true year 2020 representation.
	In all seriousness, it's very, very gross that the Academy used Chadwick's likeness to get coverage for swag bags in anticipation of his win to retain viewership and then gave him nothing.
	I mean, I suppose his ghost is weeping in the afterlife.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	No, no, I didn't get an Oscar.
	Yeah.
	I mean, do you really want one?
	Yeah.
	But it looks like a sign of, you know, cringe at this point.
	Civilization in decline.
	You've got an Oscar?
	Yeah, but one person who did win Oscars is someone called Chloe Zhao.
	Ever heard of her?
	No.
	No, which is why she's got two of them.
	No, three, sorry, three.
	It's a middle of mediocrity.
	Best picture, best director, and best actress.
	Out of the ten people in the room.
	Yeah.
	Basically, yes.
	So this is the New York Times reporting.
	In many ways, the 93rd Oscars amounted to a celebration of diversity.
	In what ways didn't it, though?
	It seems to be purely about that at this point.
	Politics dressed up as acting.
	Anyway, in an issue that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has emphasised in the wake of the Oscars So White protests in 2015 and 2016 when its acting nominees were all white, this year nine of the 20 nominations went to people of colour.
	In other firsts, Mia Neill and Jamaica Wilson became the first black women to win the Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar, a prize they shared with Sergio Lopez Rivera for their work on Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
	I know that one day it won't be unusual or groundbreaking, Neil said about her win.
	It will just be normal.
	I have no idea who does the makeup for anything else.
	And now I'm going to assume it's just white people.
	Just white people doing makeup.
	Because otherwise, if you haven't told me, if you just told me that every makeup artist since the inception of Hollywood had been black, I'd be like, oh, that's interesting.
	And I wouldn't have known any different.
	But now I know the otherwise.
	Now I know that they didn't.
	Chloe Zhao won her Oscars for something called Nomadland.
	Did you hear about this?
	Never heard of it.
	No!
	Who are these people?
	It was a meditation on grief and the damaged American dream.
	Which won those three awards.
	Zhao, who is Chinese, became only the second woman and the first woman of colour to win the award for Best Director.
	So Chinese confirmed people of colour.
	Well done, John.
	You've been upgraded.
	All of a sudden, they're back to that.
	I also love the idea that, like...
	You were white for five minutes, but now...
	But I also love this whole thing of, like, second woman to do X. And, like, what happens when it's the third and the fourth and the fifth?
	Like, at which point does it stop being stunning and brave?
	Yeah.
	I mean, tenth?
	Twentieth?
	Four hundredth?
	When it's 100% women, then it stops being stunning and brave, John says.
	She wasn't the first woman, obviously.
	That was Catherine Bigelow in 2010.
	She says this, I've been thinking a lot lately of how I keep going when things get hard.
	Referring to a Chinese poem that she read with her father that begins with the phrase, people at birth are entirely good.
	This is for anyone who has the faith and courage to hold on to the goodness in themselves and to hold the goodness in each other.
	Thanks, I hate it.
	No, no, no.
	I hate it.
	It's not true.
	A, obviously it's not true.
	But B, it's exactly the beginning of communism.
	I hate it.
	I hate everything about it.
	People at birth are not entirely good.
	We have to actually be trained to not be really selfish little S's.
	Somalia.
	It's a land of good people.
	Inherently good people.
	Before the capitalists destroyed it.
	It's so stupid.
	But the thing is, it is actually, I think, at the root of the kind of philosophical malaise that is gripping the West at the moment, is the idea that we are born perfect and we become corrupted by society, and therefore society is the thing that's bad, not ourselves.
	And it's like, sorry, no, we're actually not great people when we're young and we have to work hard to become good people.
	And in fact, it takes many, many years of trial and error, frankly.
	And especially when you have bad instruction around you like this.
	Rousseau was wrong.
	Rousseau was evil.
	Rousseau was French.
	All synonyms.
	But that's the point.
	These people seem to have a set of beliefs I think are totally incompatible with my own and I disagree with.
	But anyway, apparently politics was just the order of the day.
	As Pink News reports, there was someone called Tyler Perry there.
	Don't know who that is.
	He urged the world to refuse homophobia, transphobia, and hate in the powerful Oscar's speech.
	All right, then.
	And doubtless Judge James Taylor was like, oh, that's queen.
	I was going to accept homophobia and transphobia, but all right, I'll change my mind.
	Change my mind.
	Yeah, well, I was pro-hate up until this speech and I was like, oh, maybe I won't be pro-hate.
	I don't know.
	It's so dumb.
	I know, it's just ridiculous, isn't it?
	This is what happens when you have all one side represented and none of the other side represented.
	So it's just us, us, us, us.
	And then the other side is just you, you, you, you.
	And it's like, oh, you're the hate ones.
	Oh, okay.
	Good conversation.
	Yeah, let me tell you about the virtues of hate then.
	But anyway, I'm not going to bother going through what his mum told him.
	The next one was...
	He ends up going, look, we need to stand in the middle.
	We need to...
	Change and conversations happen in the middle.
	So anyone who wants to meet me in the middle, to refuse hate, to refuse blanket judgment, and to help lift someone's feet off the ground, this one is for you.
	So base centrism, but where's the other side?
	They can meet me in the middle.
	Wait, where are they?
	They're all banned.
	Yeah, they're all banned.
	They're all marching in the streets.
	But anyway, the next one was about police brutality, which was a bisexual comedian, an actor and writer called Trayvon Free.
	Never heard of him.
	Don't know who these people are.
	Have you considered that the bubble of Hollywood is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking and shrinking?
	I mean, it's almost been killed by COVID. If there's one blessing, it's that.
	And wokeness.
	So if there's one blessing, it's that.
	But yeah, I mean, he goes on about basically the problems that he thinks occurred in America, which are about police brutality.
	He's wearing a suit emblazoned with the names of victims of police brutality.
	It's performative.
	Yes, it's totally performative.
	And he did a video.
	He did a video.
	Did a video.
	Like, it's just something he threw up on YouTube.
	He made a movie, apparently.
	A short film for an award for the film Two Distant Strangers, which focuses on police brutality and racial justice.
	It depicts a man caught in a time loop forced to relive his fatal shooting at the hands of a police officer.
	Pink News also tell us that ahead of the ceremony, they wore matching Dolce& Gabbana suits, which they opened to reveal the lining covered with the names of police brutality victims.
	They also wore Nike shoes with more names, including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
	So, you know, that's how you demonstrate that you're in touch with working-class Americans.
	This is literally like the Babylon Bee meme, where they got like, oh, millionaires have put their yachts to say we're all in this together.
	Yeah.
	Like, look, my Gucci suit has all the names of police brutality victims.
	Also, check out my Nike sneakers, right?
	It also looks very much like the Hunger Games, doesn't it?
	Yeah.
	So go back up to the picture of him.
	Look at these lunatics.
	This looks incredibly Hunger Games to me.
	People from the capital.
	Yeah.
	While the people in the districts are just, like, scratching a living and protesting in the streets.
	It's mad.
	Did you know your lockdowns have destroyed my business?
	Yeah, but I'm hanging out with my Gucci suit.
	Look at George Floyd's name inscribed on my shoe.
	That's a pretty weird place to put it as well.
	Yeah, that is.
	Like, why the shoe?
	Yeah, at least it wasn't knee pads, right?
	Small mercies, I guess.
	Small mercies.
	But he says, you know, the police will kill three people on average a day in America, which amounts to a thousand people a year, and those people happen to be disproportionately black.
	Okay.
	That's a weird way of condemning the black community in America, but anyway, moving on because we're running out of time.
	The best response to the Oscars was actually this one from Johnny Olekinski from the New York Post, which is fantastic.
	Just read the title.
	Oscars 2021, tortured viewers from on three unbearable hours.
	He's correct, I think.
	But essentially, the summary of that is the progressives are wearing the Oscars as a skin suit and will parade around in it, claiming to be the authentic product they think they look like.
	But the thing is, yeah, the question will be, what will the viewing figures be like?
	Atrocious, I imagine.
	COVID's been going on so long.
	I'm pretty sure we covered this last year, and their viewership just dropped like a stone.
	Yeah, well, I happen to have it, right?
	So in 2014, the Oscars got 40 million US-based viewers.
	And in 2020, they got 23.6 million.
	So it literally halved their audience.
	And this is the lowest point that's ever been at.
	What I love about The Independent here, talking about it, is saying, many are speculating about the reasons for 2020's poor television ratings.
	It's possible that many people are choosing to watch the Oscars illegally via internet streaming sites.
	Yeah, that's the most incredible cope I've ever seen.
	Nobody's watching.
	You crappy, self-congratulatory, back-patting, woke brigade.
	No one cares.
	Just show us the damn movies.
	And then we're here this year with the real unknown movies.
	This is why you get so many people that no one's ever heard of.
	Screeching about wolves for some reason.
	And...
	bums.
	Well, I was asking for its death.
	I didn't think it would come so soon.
	Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping that it's literally like 10 or 15 million people who watch, and then it's just like, wow.
	You know, you've actually, Wokeness has genuinely killed this.
	How would 15 million people watch something like that?
	I mean, you'd tune off after the first two minutes, surely.
	I personally would, yeah.
	Or is that just the number of TVs that are left on in the United States unattended?
	15 million.
	Yeah, well, I mean, you've got to leave something on for the kids, haven't you?
	Which is the problem, in fact.
	You know, the kids are going to come away thinking, oh, this is good.
	Oh, boy.
	Hmm.
	Yeah, that's good news.
	That's a white pill.
	Literally the Oscars.
	We were asking for his death for years.
	Ricky Gervais did some good challenges.
	Massive freedom protests.
	Oscars collapsing.
	The only problem is literally the British judges saying you're not allowed to criticise trans-orthodoxy.
	Net positive.
	Anyway, let's go to the video comments.
	On the topic of speaking out, I found the best way is in non-political discussions where you notice a subtle creeping of leftist values and assumptions.
	Just as subtly, you can push back on those values with more based principles by citing non-political examples of said principles that the person is likely to agree with.
	In this way, you subvert the subversion, which is how I've been Protecting my own communities from infiltration.
	Yeah, he's right about this.
	Because what he's saying is essentially, you know, everyone's going along, doing their thing, talking, talking, and then suddenly, boom, racism, you know, intersectional attacks.
	But you can kind of attack them in turn by saying, well, okay, but what about fidelity and betrayal, deception, and things like this?
	What are you talking about?
	Well, if you say trans women are women, and therefore I'm not allowed to even make any kind of distinction, and I'm like, right, I want to find a nice woman to settle down and have kids with.
	You're going to be deceiving me if you don't let me know you can't have kids because of a certain medical procedure or something like that.
	And so there's a moral, this is what the thick concepts are about, there's morally loaded concepts that are involved that we can use to push back, and I think we should.
	So, good point.
	And personally, for something that does not work for me for Warhammer Law, it has to be the Emperor's atheism and his militant atheism and the book The Last Church.
	In a world where there is unending evidence for thousands of different gods, including Nurgle, Slaanesh, Zech, Khorne, the Old Ones, the Catan, the Void Dragon, and the Emperor himself, being an atheist is to be wrong and irrational and just stupid.
	That is true.
	I don't know.
	I mean, there is something weird to be said.
	I mean, if you're...
	We're atheists, for example.
	Let's say we encounter God.
	I mean, how do we even recognize him as God?
	Because the warp gods, for example, in Warhammer 40k or the Katana and whatnot, they all have their explanations about why they exist and how they're able to harness warp energy.
	It's not really mythical.
	It all can be explained.
	In which case, is it the same thing or not?
	I don't really know, but I just love the idea that, you know, everyone's like, you know, dear Emperor, don't you think there's a god?
	He's like, no, there is no god, but you are the god.
	It's like, what?
	Like, what do you mean?
	Oh, no, I'm going to have to spend all my time fighting other gods in the warp.
	It's like, okay.
	But they don't exist.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, I do get the point.
	It's just, I don't know, how do you actually define a god?
	Because if you can explain everything he does naturally and through scientific means...
	Yeah, but why would you think that the natural world wasn't the consequence of god?
	Sure, but then take the Chaos Gods.
	If they're not supernatural but are natural and can be naturally explained, well then are they supernatural?
	I mean, surely not.
	But can they be naturally explained?
	Well, that's the thing.
	In 40k lore, apparently yes.
	Yeah, but is that natural or is that just like saying that they have powers?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, anyway, let's go back to that one.
	Also, in reference to what I said in, well, the one that was the video I made on Thursday, but was to the Friday podcast, if you can just riot and loot and destroy cities until you just get people to be of guilty verdicts, then clearly you cannot function in a civilised society.
	How is this not an argument that people could make?
	It's just, I don't see this going well, personally.
	I think that's self-evidently true.
	If you abandon the concept of a civil society, then it's hard to have one.
	And it can't go well, which is why it's not.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Some advice within the Havmalt as to having a guest over.
	and unfortunately it's nothing too weird.
	Hail to a good host.
	A guest has come inside.
	Where should he sit?
	He is impatient, standing on the threshold, ready to try his luck.
	He needs a fire, the one who has just come in.
	His knees are shivering.
	Food and dry clothes will do him well after his journey over the mountains.
	He needs water, the one who has just arrived, dry clothes and a warm welcome from a friendly host.
	And if he can get it, a chance to listen and be listened to.
	So some good advice.
	For people who don't know, this chap previously had shown us a book of pagan sayings or whatever it was, like Norse sayings, about how you should treat people.
	Yeah, it seems pretty wholesome.
	Yeah, this is a very, very ancient custom that goes across all civilizations that you can think of.
	And it's the idea that you have to be hospitable to a guest because often in the pre-modern era, things were awful everywhere.
	And so if someone traveled a long way, you get this in the Bible.
	So, you know, shake off the dust of the road off your feet, come in and eat and things like this because people would be tired.
	It'd be rough.
	You'd have to like literally people walked for weeks.
	If you wanted to get to London, you had to walk like a week to get to London from here.
	So you get to London, you're like, can I have some hospitality please?
	Someone's like, yes, you know, food or whatever.
	And this is in all cultures and all times and all places, so it's nice to hear it.
	And it's always basically the same advice as well, you know.
	You said that the Scottish law banning offline speech that could be mean is unenforceable.
	Well, you seem to have forgotten about Alexa and Google and the fact that they're always listening to it.
	Yeah.
	What do you say to that?
	That's true.
	I don't know if they have the ability to present that in court as evidence.
	It would depend, obviously.
	But that's absolutely true.
	If not that, you can always get just people to tell a tale.
	That's how the Soviet Union did it.
	That's how most of the countries in the East still do it.
	That's how Ingsoc did it.
	Yeah.
	You just get people to tell on their parents or to tell on their lovers and whatnot that they're, oh, did you know he said something transphobic?
	Let's get him.
	So...
	I think you may misunderstand the whole taxation without representation thing.
	Americans were legally obligated to buy and sell things directly from England.
	And all American products were going through England to be sold elsewhere in the world.
	So England was already making a profit on American goods.
	And then they decided to, we're going to tax you on top of that.
	And we found that unacceptable.
	That's the thing.
	Was the fact that you had to send goods to England unique?
	Because I imagine the Spanish and the French did the same.
	No, this is the mercantilist system, where basically all of these empires become closed economies.
	So yeah, it's completely normal.
	But I don't see how that changes our point about taxation without representation.
	Yeah, I mean, that's still true.
	I mean, I think the point he was referencing there was your surprise that it was a 1% stamp tax that did it.
	Oh yeah, no, I'm just looking at it from a modern perspective where we're charged, you know, 45% of our income or whatever.
	And like, you know, then they're like, 1%?
	It's like, God, yeah, I wish we were angry about 1%.
	Now the rest of the other 44% on top of that, and that would be great.
	It's like, I think about this.
	My dad told me about the petrol protest back in the day, which was like, oh, it's over a pound a litre.
	And now it's like 120 a litre, maybe 130.
	I don't even know how to drive.
	But yeah, no one cares.
	No one cares now.
	Yeah, they just pay the tax.
	It's like, okay, great.
	Good afternoon, everyone.
	I'm taking a break from the jihad for today to share a joke that I thought of on Friday's episode.
	Carl and Callum, when will we have our first Muslim bishop of the Church of England?
	After all, if there is not a Muslim bishop of the Church of England, how can you be anti-racist?
	How can you be truly inclusive?
	That's a great point.
	And speaking to Sadiq Khan's observation that none of my personal identities contradict one another, even if I'm an atheist Jewish Muslim Christian, then how could we say no?
	Totally true.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Well, morning guys.
	It's a balmy four degrees in Aberdeen and I'm waiting outside my favourite local cigar bar to exercise my newly reacquired right to drink.
	Skol.
	What is a cigar bar?
	Because I don't smoke.
	So do you literally just stand there and smoke with other people indoors?
	Well, you sit down drinking and smoking cigars and talking about things.
	So is it just an invention in response to the anti-smoking legislation?
	I assume so.
	Right, okay.
	But it's a nice thing to do.
	Yeah, if you're a smoker.
	Yeah, I like cigars, so yeah.
	But yeah, I hope you enjoy playing.
	Hey guys.
	I am going to the pub today for the first time since October and I've just been to the gym.
	I feel like I'm back in my own body rather than being a kind of puppet of her sturgeon.
	But yeah, my question is when will the Greenwood podcast be back and also when's the Bigfoot thing going up?
	Thanks.
	Good question.
	The Greenwood podcast, probably not for some time, and the Bigfoot stuff, we need to re-record it, really, because I wasn't happy with the recording we did.
	I beat him.
	It's not that!
	It's not that!
	Bigfoot's not real!
	I'm not saying it is!
	That's the thing!
	I know, I'm just having fun.
	I was just not happy with the framing.
	So we did the recording, and it can't want to improve a few things, so we're going to have to do the recording again.
	You've got your notes, so we'll do it fairly soon.
	Yeah, we'll re-record it this week.
	I must note this, as I heard Vicky noticing earlier, all the Scots who are asking questions there, all of you going to the pub.
	Enjoy it.
	Enjoy it.
	You've earned it.
	You have to live with Nicholas Sturgeon.
	Nitrocellus doormat says, Great work, guys.
	I applaud everyone who went on the Freedom March.
	I would like to thank them for their effort.
	Yeah, me too.
	Those who are trying to pour scorn, shame, or misuse a catastrophe on the other side of the world need to take a step back and try applying something called respect.
	Also, those in the medical profession could use their knowledge to think about what a vaccinated UK population could start doing to claw back our rights and freedoms.
	Those who try and stand in the way are honestly showing their true colours.
	Yeah.
	The people who are complaining about this are just, the reason I was saying, oh, this is a very thin narrative that they've got.
	So look, you know, you can't, you vaccinated people over here can't march because there are people in India who are dying.
	It's like, okay, well, what's the causal connection here?
	Zero?
	Nothing?
	Then what are you trying to stop people from doing this for?
	Especially when you've got the other side, when the women were having their march, and you're like, oh, I agree with this.
	It's literally just...
	You're just feel-mongerous.
	Exactly.
	But it's literally just me, me, me.
	Us, us, us.
	You, you, you, bad.
	Us good, you bad.
	I should also mention, we ran into quite a few people on the march who recognised me from the podcast.
	Oh, really?
	It was good to meet you, guys.
	That's nice.
	Yeah.
	If you're watching today, yeah, it was good to be there.
	It was good to see people.
	Good.
	Yeah, me too.
	Yeah, nothing ideological.
	Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom.
	It was great to hear.
	Yeah.
	Speaking of grassroots movements, says Henry, did you see the One True Josh fight stateside over the weekend?
	How does your Josh feel about the government blocking him from travelling to fight for the title?
	I'll ask him.
	I can't imagine he's happy and I think that he would definitely have come out on top.
	Us, us, us.
	Let's explain that meme at some point.
	I know, it's great.
	Anon says, interesting how the signs of this protest in London all look amateur and homemade.
	Even more that there's not a loss of it.
	Yeah, that's another thing, isn't it?
	Like when you were watching the thing going past, people had obviously made their own signs.
	They weren't like hope not hate organizations handing out the pre-made signs.
	I mean, people who know British politics stand up to racism, for example.
	It's the same signs with the same colours with the same logos.
	At every single person.
	Dozens and dozens of them.
	And that's how you know it's just organised.
	People going from the same place.
	That's how you know that George Soros paid for it.
	Yeah, whereas for these protests, just people buying their stuff.
	Yeah.
	Chris says, wasn't there a series of interviews with old folks asking about COVID and most of them said, F this, I've only got so much time left, I want to see my family, because none of them seem to agree with lockdown measures.
	There were a few based boomers who were just like, this is ridiculous, why are you doing this?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You're forgetting that all the Kill the Bill protests and Sarah Everard vigils are socially distanced.
	You can't spread COVID at a lefty protest, remember?
	There's little evidence to confirm it.
	That's a good point, Lee.
	Yeah.
	And when they were throwing and battling with the cops, they were socially distanced battling with the cops.
	Yes.
	And we saw the pictures.
	They didn't seem very socially.
	Anyway, Christian says, when all the people who have been banned by social media and the government can spontaneously create one of the largest protests in recent memory, you might want to check on Evaluate if you are really a free society.
	Boris, are you listening?
	Yep.
	Chris says, also morning, gents.
	Just because it was morbidly amusing, I ran the numbers for the U.S. COVID rates.
	Roughly 60% of the deaths were over the average U.S. life expectancy.
	How do we get here?
	Because honestly, I'm at a loss.
	Well, it was the same here.
	The average age of death is over the average life expectancy.
	Anyway, Sugar Supremacist says, I worked on the front lines.
	These people are cringe.
	Stop the virtue bull.
	You don't get political sway for just doing your jobs.
	Yeah, you get nothing.
	That's why I wanted to make the point.
	You keep seeing these verified nurses making a big deal about themselves, and it's not because their nurses will work on the front line.
	No, they're activists.
	They're presidents of lobbying organizations.
	That's what they really are.
	They wear the mask of a front line nurse.
	Yes.
	Drew says, Doctor, I'm a doctor and I'm tired of people not taking this virus seriously.
	Me, looking up TikTok dance videos.
	Which one were you?
	Long Talks on the niche says, The French word for orgasm translates to little death.
	So death by orgasm has some weight to it.
	Which, considering the mental image of a Frenchman isn't one of cardiovascular fitness, makes a lot of sense.
	There's no way this is real.
	I've heard the same thing, actually.
	I have heard that's true.
	No, no, I'm just looking at, can you die by orgasms?
	Well, I mean, probably.
	It's probably happened.
	George Hap says, Is this a man or a woman, Winston?
	A woman!
	It's a woman!
	Winston shrieked in torment.
	Sometimes, Winston.
	Sometimes they are a woman.
	Sometimes they're a man.
	Sometimes they are all of them at once.
	You must try harder.
	It's not easy to become sane.
	Yeah, the book club on 1984 is proceeding.
	It'll be done soon-ish.
	And yes, basically, that's where we are.
	Lee Burdett.
	You laugh, but the Nazi Tumblr and Twitch mods of today could well be the police chiefs and judges of tomorrow.
	They are, apparently, if James Taylor is anything to go by.
	Student of History.
	British Law.
	That's a woman.
	Me.
	Okay, but she has a bigger dick than me.
	British Law.
	That's okay.
	It's a womanly dick.
	Joel says, from the perspective of the state, wouldn't a birth certificate be a paper indicating your right to exist?
	Maybe.
	Sure, I mean, if you need one, everyone's got one.
	Yeah, right to exist, though, or the documentation that they do exist?
	I mean, if you are demanding I need something that shows my right to exist, and you're not a job like these people are, I'll just say that.
	There you go.
	Now leave me alone.
	Why do I have to assert a right to exist?
	Why do I have to even have this conversation?
	Like, who brought this up?
	Socialists who think all rights come from the state.
	Bingo.
	Bruh, why would we want to make super straight a part of LGBT alphabet soup?
	We don't need to have that kind of toxicity in our lives, says Tom.
	Super straight community is like, nah, don't want to be involved with them.
	You guys seem hateful.
	We'll probably take the L's and the G's, maybe the B's, but the people who are just gay, that's it.
	They're not defined by being gay.
	Andre says, God, that's amazing, isn't it?
	You need consent from your parents to be able to play a transgender child, but in the UK you don't need that.
	Anyway.
	Justin B says, no one was harmed by someone not having sex with them.
	Well, there was a guy in and around Manchester who was arrested for refusing to sleep with a trans woman.
	He picked her up in a bar saying, I make adult movies, do you want to do one with me?
	Then found out she had a feminine penis and refused to continue.
	I think they did him under verbal contract laws.
	I don't know what happened with the case in the end, but if he was convicted, it's basically banning both heterosexuality and homosexuality.
	My God.
	Anyway, going on.
	Thug Life Bear says, By the way, this year's Golden Raspberry for worst movie was given to the exposure of 2020 election fraud Mike Lindell's documentary.
	Even the Jokes Awards are political.
	The Oscars are full of pics of the people on Rotten Tomatoes who get things wrong, and the Razzies are full of pics of those same people hate.
	These people are hacks.
	Yeah, I mean, it's transparent as well.
	That's the thing.
	Drew says, It looks like the participation trophies of my youth have infiltrated the Oscars, the Grammys, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
	Or have award ceremonies always been like this?
	They have not always been like this.
	It used to be that people that made good stuff and were popular got awards for that, these things.
	I remember watching these when I was a kid.
	It was like, you know, there were at least famous people, and I at least knew who the people were.
	At least they actually made a movie that was interesting.
	Like, not just screaming about wolves.
	Yeah.
	Please tell me that you or one of your staff were not subjected to watching the Oscars broadcast.
	Yeah, no, I didn't watch it.
	I just watched the clips that were going around and was like, oh God, look at this cringe.
	Nicholas says, I thought to help you have a good weekend.
	Yeah, I had a good weekend.
	What about you?
	That was down in London.
	Yeah, it's been fun.
	I think the only reason it's worth watching the Oscars has been Leonardo DiCaprio finally winning.
	Afterwards, it's gone down the drain.
	Possibly Oscars redemption pottery shards.
	I don't think there's any redeemingness at this point.
	I think the whole thing is just disgusting and vermin-filled.
	God, that sounds a bit awful, doesn't it?
	Metaphorically vermin-filled.
	LAUGHTER I think it's diseased, the Oscars.
	Diseased with wokeism.
	Hey Carl, over a year ago I asked in the Super Chat for book recommendations.
	Today I've finished my dissertation on moral psychology based on The Righteous Mind by Height.
	I said Mr.
	Benjamin is in the acknowledgement for recommending me that book.
	Thank you.
	Well, thank you, Daniel.
	I think it was last week's Friday on segment about the Little King of London when Carl repeatedly asked with a raised tone who cares what the foreigners think of the English.
	Well, okay, I do.
	I knew when I said that.
	I was like, I've already made that bloody point.
	Thus, today I must have the following comment.
	Carl, you do.
	You care what the foreigners think.
	You've made several videos where you talk about the description of foreigners, help you to understand what it is to be English, what it means to be English.
	I knew you were going to do this.
	I knew it.
	I knew when I said it that I was going to get this comment.
	So, Tuomas, I accept it.
	I accept your criticism and your response.
	With that friendly jab of the ribs done, I agree with you when it comes to the Little King of London, his attempts to redefine what it means to be English.
	Yeah, and I would agree if, you know, I mean, imagine if just the British arrive in India, they conquer India, and they're like, right, so, what it means to be an Indian, then?
	I'm going to redefine that for you.
	And what it means is to be British.
	Yeah, and what it means is to be whatever we want it to mean.
	Callum's looking tan, says Tyler.
	There was a lot of sun that day in London.
	I came back looking red as heck.
	Oh, you're looking tan now.
	Yeah, John tried to give me sun cream.
	I just, I don't know, I don't like sun cream.
	You were like, no, I stick by my Irish ancestry.
	Yeah, you know, mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.
	What can we do against the track and trace nonsense?
	So, are we off Facebook yet?
	No, okay.
	No answer to that.
	I have an answer.
	Okay.
	Find the answer on BitChute.
	There's an app on my phone.
	Okay.
	Alexander McDonald says, Who should my protest vote be for in the council and the police commissioner elections?
	English Democrats?
	Who are the Democratic Network?
	I can't bring myself to vote for anyone left wing.
	I guess the question is, where are you?
	But assuming you're in London or something like that, who would you vote for?
	It was me.
	God, I don't know.
	I mean, we're...
	I think you get two votes in London, if I've got the correct.
	The Assembly and the Mayor, right?
	I think you get preferable votes or something like that.
	The people I've seen that I know seem to be pretty good.
	I really like David Curtin.
	Lawrence Fox is certainly a cool guy.
	He is anti-lockdowns.
	He's anti-woke nonsense.
	He just agrees with basically everything we say.
	Yeah, he's great.
	I don't know what the UK candidate is.
	I don't think I've met him.
	Peter Gammons?
	I don't think I've met him.
	He's probably alright.
	Piers Corbyn?
	Piers Corbyn's there.
	Piers Corbyn's a good guy.
	Sean Bailey, though, is such a disappointment.
	Like, the Conservative candidate there.
	I mean, even the Conservatives think he's a disappointment.
	I heard, like, CCHQ was cutting off funding to him, or advice or whatever it was.
	They were just like, right, this is done.
	Like, this guy hasn't performed well.
	And it's not just because, you know, maybe he wants to tone down his opinions because he doesn't want to upset because he's running in London, after all.
	But, like, I saw him earlier saying that Cressida Dick should stay on as in charge of the Met Police.
	Why?
	Why?
	What is the point of you?
	If you're just going to be like, yes, Labour policy, but I'm wearing blue colours.
	Sean Bailey's like, yeah, but I'm an accelerationist.
	If you did that, it'd be kind of funny, actually.
	Because it's also the thing, if you're Sean Bailey, if Sean Bailey's watching this or something like this, she's like, what have you got to lose?
	It's already looking pretty bad, so screw it.
	Make a point.
	Make a point with the run.
	I saw the polling earlier, actually.
	Sadiq Khan was on 41%, 42%, Sean Bailey on 28%, and then a bunch of candidates I'd never heard of, and less than 10%, and then that's it.
	And so it's like, right, okay, so Sadiq Khan's going to take it.
	You may as well go balls to the wall, man.
	I would go, I don't know, Count Binface.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Probably going to do better than the Conservatives.
	His policy on CFAX I don't agree with.
	No one knows what CFAX is.
	Yeah.
	No one watching knows what it is.
	Well, that's his policy, is to bring back CFAX. No one has experienced the tragedy and horror of being literally about eight years old and trying to find a game on CFAX when it doesn't exist.
	Brave Instance says, when can we start having a discussion that your position on lockdowns is politically based?
	I've yet seen a single socialist who doesn't like lockdowns and masks talk about these persisting for years to come.
	Yeah, I mean...
	Because they're a bunch of collectivists.
	They value collective health over individual freedom.
	So when you're like, yes, but my freedom, they're like, I don't care.
	That's not a value to me at all.
	I hate your freedom.
	Your freedom is part of the problem.
	It's why socialism fails, in fact.
	Anyway, it's evil.
	Base Bulgarian says, Hey Carl, when we eventually take over the institutions, I like your optimism, what are some laws that we should introduce to contain the power of the media while also keeping the freedom of the press?
	My idea is making bribing a journalist a jailable offence.
	Ooh, that's good.
	Make slander and libel committed by journalists crimes.
	I'm pretty sure they are civic crimes.
	It needs to be easier to sue because it costs so much in the US and the UK. And if they have done something massively egregious, the common man should be able to stand up for himself.
	It shouldn't just be the rich man that can stand up for himself.
	This is why you should go and watch our book club on the rule of law by Bingham.
	Accessibility of justice is the question that we are facing here.
	And as someone who has had many injustices done to him by the press, I'm telling you it's not very accessible.
	Although with the UK, we've got a whole bunch of other problems.
	I mean, the BBC license feed, that has to go.
	But also, we saw earlier on Twitter, like, the BuzzFeed is having, like, adverts turn up in my timeline.
	What the heck's that about?
	Funded by gov.uk.
	Yeah.
	The promotion of hijab hairstyles.
	But, what the heck?
	Like, they're not the only ones either.
	Like, I saw them funding Verge or whatever and whatnot as well.
	Why?
	Like, our government is literally just handing out money to far-left outlets.
	Fantastic.
	When do we get our money?
	Yeah, I mean, when do we get to Gibbs?
	Yeah, where are Gibbs?
	I'll promote some hijabi hairstyles, why not?
	Yeah, and on that note, sign up to Let's East.com because no one else gives us Gibbs!
	We don't have government gibs.
	Edward of Woodstock says, Globless surveillance see how circumstances in different nation states are in fact different.
	Color me surprised.
	I'm sorry I was stuck in the office this weekend.
	Would have gone taking a look.
	Seemed pretty based.
	Also, I will literally pee on your chips is going to be the next quote the mainstream media will use to go viral to disparage Carl, I'm calling it.
	Honestly, I'll stand by that, to be honest.
	Do you have any problem with that?
	Peeing on chips?
	It's just a phrase that left-wingers use.
	Oh, pissing on our chips.
	It's not even from left-wingers.
	It's just one of the British colloquialisms.
	I've not really heard it before, I'll be honest.
	Yeah, it's just to say, you know, you're doing something I don't like.
	Which is me metaphorically saying, I'll do something you don't like.
	I stand by it.
	But I mean, honestly, right?
	Saying, oh, look, this man will pee on your chips.
	Thank God.
	Thank God.
	They've called me so many other horrible things.
	I would love for that to be the thing that they call me.
	Somebody who pees on chips.
	Yeah, okay.
	They're not keto-friendly.
	You should have thought about that, shouldn't you?
	So actually, yes, you are the guy who pees on people's chips.
	Yeah, I will.
	Yeah.
	I'll leave a carb-free foods alone, but the chips...
	Verboten.
	Andy Shriver says the Emperor wasn't an atheist.
	He lied.
	He wanted others to be atheists to starve the gods of worship.
	Okay, I didn't know that.
	I don't know if that's true.
	No.
	I'm pretty sure he was.
	I might be wrong, though.
	Okay.
	Should we ask Arch?
	I will message Arch.
	Was the Emperor an atheist?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, that's probably all time we have for.
	We're running out of time, yeah, so we've got to go and do some filming afterwards.
	We have a teleprompter now, so I don't know if you want me to tease this or not, but we're going to start being able to do the proper videos where it's just speak to camera, engaging, sort of monologue style, so it won't just be the podcast.
	Hopefully, we'll be doing more video content on the side as well.
	Speaking of which, the Tucker Carlson Anglo-Saxon Rights podcast will be going up, be premium either...
	This afternoon or tomorrow, so please sign up to litters.com to get access to that.
	Otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
	Thank you very much.
