	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 7th of May 2021.
	I'm joined by the former artist known as Saga of Akkad, Carl Benjamin.
	Hello.
	We've pulled him out of retirement just for a special Labour extinction event.
	Yeah, well, I heard the entire country was dunking on the Labour Party and I didn't really want to be left out, so I thought I'd come in quickly.
	LAUGHTER We're going to have some fun today.
	Anyway, let's do a little bit of shilling first.
	So the first thing I wanted to mention is the Lauren Southern article we featured yesterday.
	She's written an article for Lotuses.com here about the rise of systemic tabloidism.
	That's now free, so it was premium, but if you want to go and read it now, we've made it free because it's good.
	She's also got a follow-up to this coming as well, sort of part two, because she's essentially done a massive study on the way that the papers have become just tabloids in the post-Trump era, and she's done a really good job, so I'm really proud to be able to host it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's really good.
	Yeah, go and give that a read.
	Also, the Hannah the Navigator podcast you did with Baudet is done.
	So this is the story of Hannah the Navigator, who's a Carthaginian, who decided to sail all the way around to, like, what is it, West Africa?
	Or the Congo, something like that.
	Yeah, this ridiculous journey in, like, 300 BC or whatever it is.
	Yeah, so two and a half thousand years ago, he was like, oh, I'll just go see where everyone's going to be in a few thousand years.
	And it's a really exciting story.
	And the thing is, another one of the reasons I've come in today is, so after the podcast, I record, like, essentially what's kind of part two to this, because there was a Greek called Pythias who went the other way, and he went around Spain and up to Britain.
	So we get a nice...
	No, no!
	No, I like the idea because Hanno's finding exotic animals and this guy goes to Britain and he's like, ooh.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	He finds plenty of exotic animals.
	He goes to Ireland.
	It's going to be really, really great.
	You're not going to want to miss it.
	Okay, without further ado, let's get right into it, because there's lots to get through.
	So the Labour Extinction event that took place last night, and I'm calling it that because there is just nowhere they can go at this point.
	They've tried Corbynism, it failed to the point of ridicule, and now they've tried Keir Starmerism, and again, just failing beyond measure.
	So, for foreigners who might not know, I just want to mention who Keir Starmer is.
	So this is Keir Starmer, pictured here, presumably.
	In his cloak?
	Yep.
	This is an article from the BBC in which they were publishing Labour's plan to rid the party of anti-Semitism, and presumably this is what his plan was.
	But he decided to purge Corbyn.
	He took away the whip from Corbyn, purged a bunch of Corbynistas, but not all of them.
	Corbyn's not actually a part of the parliamentary Labour Party, is he?
	No, he's a member of the party, but not the parliamentary party.
	Yeah.
	So he's a Labour member, but not a Labour MP. Yeah.
	What a mess.
	Anyway, so you just mentioned Corbyn.
	What did he do yesterday?
	Well, he voted for his oppression.
	He went out and voted Labour.
	Of course he did.
	Cuck.
	Why break the habit of a lifetime?
	I mean, he's done nothing else with his life than be a Labour MP. Yeah, so the only other thing I wanted to mention was I'd seen some Labour worries leading up to this election, particularly around Hartlepool.
	As you can see, Owen Jones here made a video about the whole thing.
	Didn't look confident throughout all of it.
	Very worried about what was going to happen in Hartlepool with the MP's by-election there.
	I just wanted to mention also John.
	John went out and went out to vote.
	Very, very, very good boy.
	Just gonna leave that there.
	But I also started documenting the trends on Twitter just to see if we were gonna have a repeat of the 2019 election.
	And yes, we did.
	So these were the trends throughout the day.
	Hashtag Tory Brexit disaster.
	Hashtag vote Labour.
	Hashtag vote Labour.
	Hashtag don't vote Tory.
	Hashtag Tory Brexit disaster.
	Hashtag don't vote Tory.
	I can't believe all of this left-wing Twitter activism didn't translate into a stunning electoral win.
	I assumed by this we were going to see some Labour surge, but nah, here's a summation of what really happened.
	Let's get the next image up.
	That.
	Just everyone beating up Labour.
	We actually just love to see.
	I'm calling a more, you know, a grace period, shall we say, of 24 hours for dunking on the Tories.
	We'll get back to bullying them for not being conservatives at some point.
	But today, today we're going to bully Labour because everyone else is.
	And it's fun.
	So we got the first result of the night, if we can get that up.
	So this was the tale of what's to come.
	So this is just some small council.
	As you can see, the Conservatives are up 27% in this council.
	There's also the Chad result, presumably the, like...
	Hanging Chad of the whole country to see what it's like, so we can get the Chad result up.
	St.
	Chad, up 25% Conservative.
	Meme magic at work.
	So, the thing that I find interesting about this is that no UKIP, so UKIP didn't field a candidate here.
	And so, it's not just that the UKIP vote went to the Conservatives, it's also that 10% of the Labour vote went to the Conservatives as well.
	Like, that's how unbelievably unappealing, like, two to one, people would rather go to the Conservatives than Labour.
	It's amazing.
	In Sunderland.
	The red wall.
	There's nothing left.
	It's so wild.
	Sorry, let's carry on.
	So we're just going to look at the overall results that we have so far.
	So the conservative gains.
	So if you can see here, this is a map which is just demonstrating which seats have gone where.
	And as you can see, he had to list conservative gain from labour as its own category just to show that, well, they're the only ones winning.
	Like, they're just taking everything from them.
	So all those Labour heartlands, I mean, they're retreating into their cities.
	They've completely lost everything around them that's even slightly rural.
	That is absolutely brutal.
	Honestly, look at that, though.
	Look at the huge swathes of conservative gain from Labour.
	Love to see it.
	Death of the Labour Party is good enough for now.
	I'm happy to take that.
	So the numbers as they stand, as up to date as we have them from Politics for All, see the seats here.
	Conservatives gain 59 councils.
	Labour losing 58.
	Lib Dems gain a couple.
	Greens gaining three, but who cares about those progressives in skin suits.
	So, the last thing I wanted to see was just the next image, which is the odds from Hartlepool's by-election, how that was going to go.
	So, Ben maybe could swing each way, and then just towards the end, all the betting shops decided to go, nah, it's definitely going Conservative, and it certainly did.
	So, if you can get to the next link, this is just Politics for All reporting.
	The Conservatives won that, but not by a small amount at all.
	They won 52% of the vote.
	Labour down to 29% of the vote.
	I mean, what a mop-up.
	This is just great.
	A seat that's been Labour since 1945.
	Well, the thing about this, and this is going to permeate the entire thing, I think, is that prior to Brexit, prior to us leaving the EU, it would have been fairly...
	Easy to explain Boris Johnson's big win by going, well, it's the North saying, well, Corbyn isn't either for or against, and therefore Boris is very firmly for.
	So people voted for Boris to get out, and that's fine, that makes sense.
	But how do you explain this in that lens?
	Because now we're out, there's no particular reason for them to be voting Conservative.
	Why are they voting Conservative in overwhelming numbers?
	Because, I mean, look at the Labour Party.
	Exactly.
	It's actually the texture, the qualitative nature of what the Labour Party is now that people are voting against.
	It's not for a particular thing.
	They've already got the thing.
	There's no simple excuse of, well, this is a rerun of the referendum.
	Yeah, exactly.
	After Brexit, it'll be fine.
	Exactly.
	This is all done.
	And so now it's like, right, the Labour Party has to take a long, hard look at itself and go, what did we do wrong?
	And, man, the list is endless.
	The list is very short, actually.
	It exists.
	That's no problem.
	Summarize it in one word, I suppose, if you like.
	As you talk about the North FC, you just want to put a North FC meme back up, you can get the next image.
	Just to remind ourselves, vote Tory simple as.
	No Remainers, no Labour, no nonces, simple as.
	What's the problem?
	You're going to oppose that?
	I could stand on that platform.
	That's a great platform.
	Labour can't stand on that platform, but that's their problem.
	I also wanted to mention, in Hartlepool, there was a Heritage Party candidate.
	I just wanted to point out here that the Heritage Party beat the Northern Independence Party.
	So the splitters from the Labour Party, the hard socialists, so to accept their own party called Northern Independence.
	And good on Kern for beating them there.
	Also, I think, what is it, Reformers also beat them, so that's lovely to see.
	Wonderful.
	Get stuffed.
	That's not THE John Prescott, is it?
	No, I don't think so.
	Right, okay.
	Someone else called John Prescott.
	He's come back.
	It was a reclaimed party.
	So just to demonstrate, like, the Red Wall.
	Wool.
	Rubble.
	That's what that is.
	Red!
	Red!
	Oof.
	I'm enjoying the champagne, it's good.
	I'm enjoying the show.
	We're not going to go fast today, we're just going to enjoy and savor it.
	So, next thing I wanted to mention for people who might think that votes don't matter, they certainly do in this constituency, one vote.
	So this was the leader of the Labour group in Northumberland, lost her seat by one vote to the Conservatives.
	One vote.
	God, I bet she's salty.
	But she deserves it.
	They all deserve it.
	They all deserve it.
	You got in bed with wokeness.
	That's what this is all about.
	It's wokeness.
	They hate wokeness.
	And I don't blame them.
	Race and gender socialism.
	Not popular.
	Evil.
	Straight white men of working class dissent are a bunch of racist gammons.
	Now vote for Labour.
	Idiots.
	You're scum.
	Vote for us.
	Oh boy.
	So as for the Tories, they have a star candidate running in this whole election.
	He was running for a council seat.
	His name is Tiger Patel.
	And he decided to do one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.
	So if we can scroll down, I didn't clip this, but I wonder if you can put the sound on and just play this for a couple of seconds.
	Because it is goddamn brilliant.
	This was his campaign.
	This is all he did.
	What is he doing?
	Like, Flavor's in charge, the seats don't work.
	Vote for me, I'll fix the swings.
	Good point.
	I mean, the swing's definitely fixing.
	Yeah?
	He does raise a good point.
	It doesn't say a damn thing, does he?
	Look how labour have run that into the ground.
	Well, my kids might have to play that.
	Like...
	It's the best campaign I've ever seen.
	It's just said that there.
	For anyone who's listening who didn't see that, right?
	Let's put up the next image so you can see it, what you're about to mention, which is...
	He's standing on a kid's playground apparatus and someone has graffitied the word suck and a picture of a dick about where his crotch is, incidentally.
	And he's throwing Winston Churchill V's.
	And he happened to have also crushed the Labour Party in this election.
	I just love how it also fits in with the message, though.
	Like, the message there, I presume, if he had a message, was, Labour have run this play park, it's terrible.
	But also, just like, he stands up there, there's graffiti over everything, the swings are F'd, the floor's broken.
	Vote Tory!
	Suck it!
	My god, that's Winston Churchill!
	Did you see his previous video, though?
	Yeah, so we're all going to do that.
	Have we got that?
	Have we?
	Great.
	So the next thing I want to show...
	He won.
	He won.
	There's his result.
	He beat the Labour candidate.
	Yes!
	Tiger Patel!
	Tiger Patel!
	Oh, man.
	I hope that's a revolution in politics.
	Anyone who's thinking of standing for council elections or the next ones or whatever you're doing, follow that model.
	That's the model to follow.
	Say nothing.
	Just show.
	Oh, God.
	You might have wondered, who the heck is this guy?
	Where's he come from?
	So, apparently in 2019, he ran an election.
	So, if we can get the next video up, just so you can show this.
	I don't know if you can restart it.
	We won't play the audio, because it's just Eye of the Tiger being played as he walks towards the camera menacingly.
	Because his name's Tiger Patel.
	Rising up!
	Back on the street!
	Well, you laugh, right?
	But you're not an elected councillor, and he is!
	No.
	But also, this campaign here, where he ran as Tiger Patel, Eye of the Tiger, this got him 27% of the vote.
	Nice.
	He got 27%.
	The Tory candidate in this election got 9%.
	I mean, he's just walking towards the camera.
	No facial expression whatsoever, just staring at you.
	On a Hartlepool street.
	And then just a tiger appears, like some stock footage of a tiger jumping.
	Amazing.
	27%, and then he's run again, this time round, on the campaign of Suck This.
	51%.
	51%.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, God.
	Let's have a conservative right there.
	That's right.
	Suck it.
	I'm a conservative.
	That's the kind of energy I want from the conservatives, to be honest.
	I endorse that message.
	Good God.
	I'll try and get an interview with him.
	There's that, which is something.
	But the funniest thing of the night, as in just pure absurdity, has to be the Monster Raving Loony Party's stance on this whole thing.
	So, the Monster Raving Loony Party, for people who don't know, I don't know if they're actually a bit of a party that, you know, they're purposely insane to make fun of the whole system, which, I mean...
	Yes, it's a part of a long tradition of British irony to parody the institution and the people involved in it.
	So we all know that actually, you know, don't get above your station, any moron could run, and here are 13 of them.
	Yeah, so what they decided to do is they found one council seat.
	It's a council seat, for Christ's sake.
	Like, not a London assembly, not a London mayor, not mayoral position.
	They just found some council seat.
	And we're like, yeah, 13 candidates.
	Let's run 13 people all in the same seat just to take the mickey.
	I think it's quite funny, actually.
	Because it's amazingly funny.
	But I saw someone on 4chan just listed the list of candidates that they have, so if you get the next image up, as you can see here, like, it completely destroys the ballot paper, because here's the list of full candidates.
	Baron von Ackenbach for Monster Raving Loony Party, someone from the Kingston Resident Group, Labour Party, and then Undertaking Director Brunskill, Monster Raving Loony Party, Agent Chinnas, Monster Raving Loony Party, Captain Colony for Monster Raving Loony Party, Casual Count of Korathith, Monster Raving Loony Party.
	Imagine, though, that you're Charles Bamford.
	And you have to take on the chin what I assume is a massive laboured defeat, and you're surrounded by all of these bellens who are dressed in their stupid bellend costumes, and the Sky Reporter goes, so what do you think was the reason for your defeat?
	And you've got to give an answer.
	And there's literally 13 people dressed as essentially clowns behind you.
	Going, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
	It must have been one hell of a night.
	Oh, good God.
	It's just some of the names of Lady Dave Pinner, Kinnington Newett, landlord, landlord, rover for Monster Raving Loony Party.
	Sam Squatch.
	He sounds bait.
	Sam Squatch.
	Oh man, I want to believe.
	But the last thing I wanted to just mention on the events of the night was something a little bit more serious than all the rest of that.
	So this was something that was reported that we can report on.
	There were some things that we can't report on, thanks to YouTube's editorial guidelines.
	But this is something we can, which is that it was pictured down in Tower Hamlets that some guys were at the polling stations and talking to the people in the polling line, giving them leaflets, presumably telling them about, you know, vote our guy, blah, blah, blah.
	And apparently this is a breach of electoral law.
	Oh, wow.
	I can't believe the Labour Party are cheating.
	In Tower Hamlets as well.
	Isn't that Diane Abbott's place?
	No, she's in Hackney.
	But it's like, you've got to win this anyway, so the point that was.
	But yeah, they're in trouble.
	Well, that's how scared they are.
	It's like, look, we're definitely going to win this place, but we kind of need to cheat anyway.
	Good God.
	So they're going to get in trouble here.
	And again, YouTube, this is not my opinion, the electoral comms, I forget the name, the electoral group is in charge of that.
	So the only other thing here is just a witty comment I found about this whole thing.
	Because Tower Hamlets, if you're not aware, as we've covered previously, has had some problems in the past with that sort of thing.
	And as someone mentioned here, Tower Hamlets was doing both votes Labour before it was cool.
	Because now, of course, you've got elections where you get two votes because of preferential voting.
	Didn't used to.
	Tower Hamlets did, though.
	So that's that.
	But anyway, cheers.
	What a glorious day.
	Ah, what a beautiful day.
	I do love watching the communists getting absolutely destroyed.
	I'm getting destroyed by Suck This Man.
	What's your campaign pledge?
	I'll fix the swicks.
	Hey!
	Well, okay, look.
	Labour Party are like, look, we've got a campaign pledge.
	We're going to abolish systemic racism in Britain, or I'm going to fix the swings.
	Which one is more likely to happen?
	I've got a plan for all of Britain.
	Children shall vote.
	We shall import every migrant on the planet.
	I will reorganise your son so he believes he is evil for being male and white.
	Or I'll fix the swings.
	Fix the swings if you suck this.
	What a day.
	What a glorious day.
	I just can't get over it.
	Tiger Patel.
	What a great name, too.
	Because that's the thing as well.
	You've got to keep your expectations.
	We don't have all the results, but the results that...
	The results we have are really bad.
	So the results we haven't got is the London election, for example, or the election for Greater Manchester, or Scottish elections and whatnot.
	But they're not expected to move that much.
	They're expected to, at least by the real politics, stay pretty much where they are.
	So they're not that much of note.
	But what is of note is, of course, the massive English local elections on councillors, which shows that a lot of people are willing to vote Conservative, especially a lot of Labour voters and UKIP voters.
	And then you've got the by-election, as I said, which returned a Tory MP from a seat that has never been Tory for 80 years.
	And that's amazing.
	So we're going to take a little bit of intermission to calm ourselves down.
	So there is the story we covered yesterday of the 31st Anglo-French War.
	Is it actually the 31st?
	Yeah, I counted them up.
	I thought you were joking.
	No, it was really.
	Did we win?
	We won.
	Victory, chaps!
	Rule Britannia!
	We live another day!
	Jealousy is British!
	So you might remember, this is just War with France trending.
	I just wanted to show the meme, because I love the meme.
	So if you get the next link, the French broats, they've retreated!
	They're running away, boys!
	They've got the French flag out.
	The white one.
	So there's that.
	And then I just wanted to show a couple of images from this.
	So Wikipedia has been presumably updated with this information.
	If you can zoom in a little bit and then we'll scroll down so people can see.
	So this is the Second Battle of Jersey, part of the Brexit War.
	You can see the heroes with the muskets and the gunboats.
	There's some French boats out there.
	Oh, hang on, I'll get my musket.
	My great-great-great-granddad used this in the last one.
	Like, I love the words that the Japanese used to say about America.
	If we invaded, we find a rifle behind every blade of grass.
	You invade Britain, you find a musket behind every cottage.
	So, the French Republic versus the Ballywick of Jersey, Great United Kingdom, Great Britain, Northern Ireland.
	Ballywick of Jersey.
	Commanders and leaders, Emmanuel Small Dick Energy Macron.
	Oh, that's not fair.
	Macron's been pretty base recently.
	No, he got called that by the British government.
	What?
	Yeah, someone from the government released a statement that he had Small Dick Energy.
	You're joking.
	No, we did it yesterday.
	What?
	Versus Ian Gorse, Minister for External Relations.
	Strength of the French, approximately 20 fishing vessels.
	Strength of the British, two river-class offshore patrol vessels and one militia re-enactor.
	With his great-great-grandfather's musket.
	How did they call Emmanuel Macron Small Dick Energy?
	I'll send you the link after.
	I don't get it either.
	It's funny.
	Casualties and losses.
	So if you can scroll down or if we're at the bottom there.
	So casualties and losses for the French.
	French fishing industry.
	Humiliation.
	British.
	None.
	Because they never are.
	So this came after the two sides have decided that peace is the answer to this situation after the French presumably raised the white flag.
	So we go to the next link.
	This is the papers reporting Johnson and Macron plan peace talks.
	That's a great headline!
	The people of France can sleep soundly in their bed knowing that we will not invade where there's no need.
	We have already won.
	That's such a 2021 headline.
	Peace talks between England and France.
	Six months into Brexit.
	We've already won a war against France.
	Harthing's going badly?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Despite Brexit, victory over the French.
	Literally, victory of the Germans in Brexit and victory of the French in this.
	This is going as well as I could be expected.
	Who's disappointed?
	Yeah.
	How could you be disappointed?
	Well, the Labour Party, I guess.
	So the next link here is something you posted on Facebook.
	So this is the Ladybug Guide of British Diplomacy, part of the Brexit for Boys series.
	So in case you're wondering how Britain will react in future, just send in the gunboats.
	That's how we're going to do it.
	So let's carry on with the Labour Party stuff.
	I just wanted a little intermission there.
	The next G7 meeting is going to be embarrassing, isn't it?
	Boris Johnson's just standing there, all got their backs to him.
	If it's in Britain, he should pick a town that's connected by a river, and then just come up in a boat.
	A little fishing boat.
	Oh, hello!
	Surely he could actually get a military boat.
	Or if he picks a Portsmouth or something, just turns up in a frigate.
	Yeah, Southampton, or something like that.
	Hello, Macron!
	Southampton's always been the staging point for invasions of France.
	Yeah, so there you go.
	Ideas for Boris, if you're listening, mate.
	So let's go through the responses.
	So this was all the details we showed of what happened in the night.
	Wow, that guy with the Labour rosette looks happy.
	Yeah, he's having a great time.
	I'm not even going to say anything.
	Let's just play this clip of the response from the Labour MPs.
	What's happened to Labour now?
	Isn't the problem you're too cautious, you're too bland, people say they don't know what you stand for?
	You've actually paid a tribute to the Conservatives by saying people know what they stand for, big spending and so on, and investment.
	Isn't that a pretty poor indictment of what Labour's offering or failing to offer?
	No, and I think in terms of kind of where Labour is and what is our offer, what do we stand for, who are we and who do we, you know, who are we in politics to represent, we are not reinventing the wheel, we are the party of working people.
	Can I stop you there?
	You appear as though you're not the party of working people because you appear to be the party of middle-class graduates in the London suburbs and the metropolitan areas and in towns like Hartlepool, And other constituencies in the northeast of England, which one might describe loosely as working-class communities, you've lost seats in the general election and you appear to have lost here.
	When did Sky News get so based?
	Yeah.
	Like, they saw the election results and flipped, I guess.
	I mean, that's exactly what I would have said to him.
	So, but I mean, essentially calling them class traitors.
	And this is something we'll talk about, because it's like, that's exactly what they are.
	What else can they say they are?
	I mean, he's like, we're the party of the working class.
	Yeah, but why did none of them vote for you?
	Uh...
	So pathetic.
	So I also wanted to get up here.
	Dominic Cummings has his own Twitter account, in case people don't know.
	It's kind of small.
	But he decided about an hour ago to go on a rant, and I love it.
	So we're just going to go through some of this.
	So as he says here, "When pundits who explained why Vote Leave's plan to realign politics was mad, stupid, impossible, now give post hoc explanations for why it's all so logical, inevitable.
	Ignore their babble.
	Pundits equal noise, not signal, e.g.
	the centre ground does not exist.
	It's a pundit fiction.
	Interesting.
	Interesting Bannonite language there.
	Awesome, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Ignore the noise, pay attention to the signal, yeah.
	Yeah, you remember this from, you know, like, David Cameron's era.
	He was like, oh, we're going to take the center ground.
	We'll destroy the Lib Dems.
	Well, I mean, kind of.
	We're going to get the Guardian vote to vote for it.
	Shut up.
	So stupid.
	So he continues in here.
	So vote leave strategy in 16.
	Before we go on, this is great, because it was V, who I was talking to him about this the other day, and he, I don't know where he'd stolen this from.
	Sorry, I'm just teasing.
	But he was like, look, the sort of centre ground, the silent masses aren't a voting bloc, they're the spoils to be divided up.
	And I think he's right.
	I think that's absolutely correct.
	These people are just not political and they'll do whatever the political wing that's in charge tells them.
	Totally true.
	Totally true.
	I think he's right on that.
	Yeah.
	So, he continues.
	Vote Leave strategy in 16 and 19 was based on SW1 theories read the center ground being equals false.
	SW1... The Westminster bubble.
	Yeah, he writes very weirdly, just in case you're not able to follow some of this.
	So, didn't learn after 2016 and provided chance for us to win again in 19, ignoring pundit howling.
	Keir Starmer is a beta lawyer, gamma politician...
	Brave New World insults.
	This is based.
	Like all in SW1, he obsesses on media reality, not actual reality.
	He's played the lobby game, badly, for a year, without a message to the country.
	And now, sorry, now the pundits will A, savage him, B, tell him he needs to focus on them more, more exclusives.
	Yep.
	Because he'll little to all that babble, what will he not do?
	Focus on public priorities over media priorities.
	Yep.
	They're saying that's what you should do.
	A message of how bad Keir Starmer is.
	Until Googled yesterday, I didn't know...
	Well, hang on.
	There's a bit here that he's...
	We have a number 10 in opposition who see their job as media entertainment service, and neither knows how to be this better than TB slash Mandy.
	Neither will try to be a government.
	That's the most important thing.
	Because what it is, he's absolutely right, because the media pundits...
	Say that, you know, the Labour Party and the sort of left-wing parties are sort of controlled and genuflecting to them is totally true, but then who are they genuflecting to?
	And the answer is Twitter.
	You know, it's literally Twitter that is controlling this, and so the Labour Party have gone down the will-be-popular-on-Twitter route, and it's like, okay, but look how that turned out.
	You trended very well yesterday.
	Oh, constantly.
	Nothing but.
	Destroy the Tories.
	Destroy the Tories.
	And you got absolutely buggered.
	They really do never learn, do they?
	It's amazing.
	I love it.
	He says, as a measure of how bad Kirsten is, until I googled yesterday, I didn't know who the Shadow Chancellor...
	Is, and when I looked at the photo, I had zero recognition.
	She never touched my consciousness in a year.
	And I just wanted to demonstrate.
	So another one of the responses, the Marxist response.
	So this is Marxist McDonald, and you can get the next image up.
	Just his response, looking at those results.
	Minus 60 labor.
	Look at them tears.
	If we had Corbyn, this wouldn't have happened.
	You did this, John.
	It did.
	It did happen under Corbyn.
	That's the whole point.
	You walked them into this grave, and now there's no escape.
	Good, thank you.
	Now North FC are just jolly filling in the dirt onto your face while they wear their top hat and monocle.
	Get rid of this 60s nonsense.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So Labour HQ also had some cope, so we get the Labour HQ response up here.
	Just because we have stopped pissing in the bath doesn't mean people want to jump in straight away.
	LAUGHTER Like, the bath's still filled with piss.
	That's fantastic, actually.
	That's a great way of describing it.
	Because it's important to remember that this is all a consequence of Corbyn and his momentum-style Labour Party.
	That's exactly a great summary, in fact.
	I just love the idea of Labour being like, yeah, our party's full of piss.
	On the plus side, we've stopped peeing into the bath.
	But they didn't, though.
	Still warm.
	They didn't at all.
	I don't buy their nonsense.
	They're like, oh no, they're totally different now.
	Because you carried on the politics.
	You changed the front of house.
	That's what you did.
	The kitchen is still the same.
	So, in response, apparently Keir Starmer is saying he's going to shuffle his cabinet.
	If anyone gives a toss about that.
	Really?
	You think everyone was like, oh no, I'm not voting for him because of cabinet members.
	No.
	Shut up.
	So, he says here that Annalisa Dodd, so that's the Chancellor of the Exchequer Dominic Cummings mentioned, is expected to get the sack because she's been useless, and she has been.
	When does Keir Starmer get the sack?
	How many hours have we got?
	But if you were wondering anything about her, the only thing I knew about her really is the one Guardian article she published.
	I wanted to get this up because there's no point reading it.
	It's just stock Labour Party garbage.
	But you can scroll down and see if we can look at that image there.
	Oh, that image.
	That image.
	That image that I put on Gab that got like 2,000 shares because this was an example of Britain in decline under the Labour Party.
	It's like, the Guardian used this image to try and be like, ha ha, the Tories have messed up.
	And Morditorium is criticizing the Tories right now, so we're not going to get into that.
	But look at it!
	Anyone who can't see this, we're looking at a rundown.
	What I'm guessing is, I don't know, is it an area of London or something like that?
	I don't know, actually.
	But it's a small sort of local area of Britain, and all the shops are boarded up.
	They're all graffitied over.
	It looks like post-apocalyptic wasteland.
	Shop to let, all this sort of stuff.
	And then just across the road is a very pristine, glorious-looking gay pride flag.
	Like the crosswalk is painted in the gay pride flag colours.
	It's the only thing that looks new on that entire street.
	And you think this is a product of the right.
	Conservatives, traditionalists.
	Yeah.
	I mean, not criticizing Tory stuff now.
	Free marketeers, you know.
	It is not the conservative theorists who come up with this.
	No.
	This is a result of progressive thinking in which we ignore everything in favor of pure optics of being virtuous because we believe in race and gender communism.
	Well, it's all about the abstraction, because that's what the flag is.
	A flag is a representative, it's a symbol of a series of ideas, which is why when you burn a flag, you are saying something deeper than just this piece of material is bad.
	And this is exactly the point.
	The essentials, the thing that are essential to people's lives, the pub being open, the shops being open, you know, things working as they should, are all shut down.
	But the veneer, the abstraction, it looks glorious.
	And that's the Labour Party summarised.
	I've been criticised in the chat.
	It's a pelican crossing, apparently.
	I said crosswalk because I've been infected with Yankeism, but moving on.
	So, in case you're wondering about the rest of his cabinet, I mean, we've covered this before, but let's just go over it again because it's glorious.
	So here's David Lammy.
	David Lammy is the Shadow Justice Secretary.
	He'd be in charge of justice for the country, if Labour got in.
	And this is him, like, a couple of days ago, tweeting out that nearly nine out of ten children held in custody on reprimand in London are from black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds.
	This is a national scandal.
	Sadiq Khan is right to reaffirm his commitment to tackling disproportionality.
	There is no way we can have an honest conversation about that.
	What on earth is he saying, though?
	Oh, I know what he's saying.
	Nine out of ten children in there are from BAME backgrounds, and then what's the solution to that, David?
	I mean, you're going to have to either start releasing criminals who have brown skin because they have brown skin and therefore did nothing.
	Which is literally what they'll do.
	Or, the other part, which they'll do, is just start arresting innocent white men to try and get the disproportionality under control.
	Those are your two options.
	Because you're not interested in justice there, you're interested in social justice.
	You're not interested in whether or not they're actually guilty, you're interested in the...
	Group characteristic that they have.
	But the point is you can't ever have a conversation about why the children from these communities are breaking the law so much.
	So moving on.
	Let's go to something a lot less spicy.
	Let's go to Nashar.
	Boom!
	Okay.
	For people who don't know who Nash Shah is, Nash Shah is my favourite Labour MP in the sense that I love that she's in the Labour Party and they keep her around because it just discredits Labour on everything.
	So this is what she's most well known for among the right in the UK, which is that she shared and liked a tweet from a parody Owen Jones account that said victims of grooming gangs should shut up for the, shut their mouths for the sake of, for the good of diversity.
	So if you can scroll down, there's the tweet in there, just so we can see it, and I can demonstrate that this is not fake news.
	She really did this.
	You can Google it yourself, find the tweet yourself.
	She then turned around and said, oh no, it was a mistake.
	I didn't know what was in the tweet.
	I was like, why did you like it and retweet it then?
	What did you think was in there?
	The mistake was that you didn't realize it was a parody account of Owen Jones.
	So if Owen Jones had actually said this, she would have retweeted it and stood by it.
	Anyway, so as reward for doing this, saying that rape victims of grooming gangs should shut their mouths for the good of diversity, she was made women's minister under Corbyn.
	Jesus Christ!
	Corbyn made her in charge of women's inequalities.
	Yeah?
	Yeah, but okay, Corbyn's gone, Corbyn's gone, we've reformed.
	We are the new Labour Party now.
	So what did she do otherwise?
	So she's otherwise known for her anti-Semitism.
	So this is something she did a while back.
	So you can scroll down as well, eventually you'll get to the image of what she did, which is that she shared this image here, showing that the solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict, relocate Israel to the United States.
	So just move all the Jews to America, problem solved.
	Ethnically cleanse the Jews from the Middle East, Naz Shah, 2014.
	Naz Shah, problem solved and save you bank charges for £3 billion.
	You transfer yearly.
	Thanks Jamal Faisal and Bibble Sasha for sharing.
	Wow.
	Naz Shah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So what did Keir Starmer do with this person?
	Of course, the reformed Labour Party.
	He kicked her out.
	No.
	He put her in charge of community cohesion.
	That's the thing.
	Nothing's changed.
	She certainly knows what to do with the Jews.
	The front of house has changed.
	The whole, like, oh, we've got a new leader who people don't know for being an anti-Semite.
	Yeah.
	But all these people are still around.
	Naz Shah was in charge of women under Jeremy Corbyn.
	She's now in charge of community cohesion, presumably because of her strong views, let's say.
	And David Lammy, I mean, the open racist who thinks that, you know, Pope smoke is racist.
	Remember that?
	He tweeted out that the Pope's smoke being white or black was a racist statement from It's not.
	It's an ancient way of signalling the kind of Pope or something.
	You don't understand social justice, Labour would say.
	Anyway, so also the other parts of this response.
	So Jess Phillips was trending.
	Jess Phillips was trending because we were like, in response, how about we just make Jess Phillips the leader of the Labour Party?
	Yes.
	Go for it.
	Yes.
	No, no, that's absolutely right.
	Labour deserves its first female leader.
	Because about all of the parties, literally all of the parties, the Labour Party, the party committed to women's rights and social justice, is the only party in Britain that has never had a female leader.
	How is that possible?
	It should be Jess Phillips.
	It's her time.
	It's her turn.
	Do it.
	Yeah, it's her turn.
	It's right.
	Now is the time for Jess Phillips to lead the Labour Party to glory.
	Totally endorse.
	Well, there you go.
	You can put that on your campaign leaflets.
	Jess, endorse my friend.
	No.
	Anyway, so the other response is, so the Corbyn Easter MPs are all, like, you know, salty, because they're like, if Corbyn was in charge, then we wouldn't have lost, because they're all very smart people.
	So Richard Bergen here.
	Incredibly disappointing defeat in Hartlepool.
	We are going backwards in areas we need to be winning.
	Labour's leadership needs to urgently change direction.
	It should start by championing the popular policies in our recent manifestos, backed by a large majority of voters.
	Majority?
	You guys lost!
	This guy's a massive socialist as well.
	I believe that he's deluded.
	That's not hard.
	Yeah, but...
	So, no, no, no.
	This happened with Corbyn in a Sky End feud when she was like, so...
	I think it was, what, the 2017 vote or something like that?
	Where Theresa May only just squeaked it?
	Jeremy Corbyn was treating it like a victory.
	We won the argument.
	Yeah, we won the argument.
	He said, yeah, but you lost.
	He's like, oh, but...
	You did lose.
	But literally, like, the last election was the most embarrassing thing Labour's had for decades.
	And you're like, yeah, those were popular policies backed by a large majority of the public.
	What do you mean large majority?
	You had no majority.
	Yeah, but hey, there's that.
	But they just don't seem to understand that it is the socialism that is the problem.
	It's the mindset.
	It permeates everything they do and it makes them smell bad.
	Why is Nas Shah still around?
	Exactly.
	Why is she still around?
	You know, but anyway.
	So the other response I saw that was of interest, and we'll go through Diane Abbott.
	Diane Abbott had some amazing tweets in response to this, in which she said that if Keir Starmer was here, nothing would have happened.
	Daddy Keir.
	Sorry, Daddy Corbin.
	So, crushing defeat for Labour in Hartlepool.
	Not possible to blame Jeremy Corbin for this result.
	Wrong.
	Oh, boy.
	Labour won the seat twice under his leadership.
	Keir Starmer must think again about his strategy.
	Absolutely wrong, but 23,000 likes on Twitter, so, you know, take that as being read.
	Keep going in that direction.
	She did one more tweet that I think is just hilarious.
	If you're in a hole, stop digging.
	Look at the mirror, woman.
	It's generally sensible advice.
	The idea that labor should carry on the same path, just pick up speed, is just nonsense.
	We need a change in strategy.
	Yeah, that's true.
	You did it.
	You got Keir in charge.
	And look what happened.
	He's just digging a hole in the direction.
	Yeah, but Keir's armor...
	Like, the way that these things work is it's not like a person driving a car who can just change direction, right?
	What it is is more like a fleet of cars that slowly change direction over time.
	And what Keir Starmer has found himself at is the head of the fleet of Corbinites.
	And it's like, right, okay, what can he do?
	You know, he can start making small changes and trying to do a few things, but everyone can still see the general stench of the Corbynites permeating all through the Labour Party.
	And it's not going to be for a generation.
	It'll be like in the 70s and the 80s.
	It's a party of hundreds of thousands of people.
	Yeah.
	It'll be like in the 70s and the 80s, where the Labour Party got obviously communistic, obviously socialistic, and the Tories just absolutely waxed them for a generation, until Tony Blair could finally come back and ruin things.
	Please, God, no.
	I don't want that to be the future in which they have some kind of comeback.
	My ideal is that the Labour Party just dies over the next few decades, and something liberal replaces it, so we can have the Tories versus, essentially, UKIP liberals, so they can actually have some debates.
	So anyway, the Momentum response to this I wanted to add as well, so the next link is just Momentum responding.
	So saying that Starmer's strategy of isolating the left and replacing meaningful policy with empty buzzwords has comprehensively failed.
	Comprehensively failed, just like 2019, folks.
	If he doesn't change direction, not only will he be out of a job, but the Labour Party may be out of government forever.
	Says Momentum.
	Momentum.
	There's famous winners.
	Yeah.
	Probably elections if they won.
	But just the idea, we need to go back to 2019.
	Oh, God.
	I've never learned to do that.
	Literally, the middle-class, university-educated communist revolutionaries that the North hates are going to set the direction of the party that is already following and leading it to defeat after defeat after defeat.
	These people are a joke.
	First comment there.
	Momentum need to piss off.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	That's great.
	But the next image is just like, Keir Starmer, what's he meant to do?
	It's just him?
	He's got nowhere to go.
	What's he going to do?
	Retreat into what?
	Well, he's got to try and take the UKIP territory.
	So get used to dying on your knees, Keir.
	Just like you take the knee for BLM. So you get the next one of us, just him taking the knees, remind everyone.
	And that's the thing.
	Like, sure, they abandoned the class socialism of arguing about wealth inequality and all that between different classes of people in the last election.
	And But they didn't abandon the race.
	That's not the class issue in Britain, right?
	The class issue is just looking out for working class interests.
	That's not the working class saying, look, we need to take everything the Tories have or anything like that.
	That's them saying, look, just make sure you're on our side, right?
	You know, stop actively working against us like the Labour Party does by, say, importing new voters, you know, like telling us that we're bad people for objecting to the fact that our towns and cities are dramatically changing.
	I can't wait till the new census comes out.
	You know, the census will explain exactly.
	I bet it overlays perfectly, in fact, you know, the sort of population changes.
	Just retreating into their cities.
	Absolutely.
	You're totally right.
	I was just flaming it in Labour terms.
	That's how they think.
	So, I mean, just get up to the next image.
	I mean, why am I able to make things like this?
	Black Lives Matter, injured cop.
	Like, what does Labour think about this?
	You endorsed it.
	Not a word, other than pro.
	Yeah, so you got rid of the, as you would describe as, like, class socialism, Ash Sarka would probably say something, but you kept the race socialism and the rest of it, and look what that got you.
	Look what that got you.
	Extinction event.
	So let's go on to Ash Sarka to see how she's been responding to this.
	So someone's saying that she should take a look in the mirror.
	Yes, everyone knows that I have the ear of Keir Starmer and have been deciding his strategy for months now.
	Well, actually you do.
	You're an influential voice within the momentum movement, and what you say about that goes further than your personal social media presence, and you know that.
	And this becomes like the mindset, you're like the id of the momentum crowd.
	And so yeah, that is a true thing.
	Why did he take the knee?
	Yeah, why did he take the knee?
	No one on the Blairite side would be saying this.
	Blair himself even said it was a mistake.
	So, who's done it?
	Your guys.
	So, then she also responds by saying that we're meant to lose.
	I'm not joking.
	So, Labour's vote has declined in Hartlepool in every election bar 2017 since 1997.
	It's a microcosm of a crisis facing the party in England and more broadly, and can't simply be put down to Brexit, Corbyn, or Starmer.
	That's correct, Ash.
	I love it.
	Like, we're essentially meant to lose.
	Like, for decades, we've become less and less popular because of our politics.
	Yeah.
	You're almost there.
	Like, so close to being like, yes, we are the problem.
	The reason people don't want to vote for you is because you suck.
	Well, it's exactly the same reason that Marx thought the communist revolution would start in England, and it didn't.
	The communists do not understand England, and they can't...
	envisage themselves as doing anything other than lose against the mindset that they encounter.
	There's also her response in which she tries to redefine the working class again.
	Oh, good, yeah.
	Tell us about the lumpenproletariat.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's not that interesting anyway.
	We're just going to skip over it.
	It's just her saying that the working class are really just migrants.
	The working class.
	Yeah, migrants and university educated students are actually the real working class.
	I'm not that worried about it.
	Let's just show the Owen Jones instead.
	So this is Owen Jones' response in which I saw him posting his book, Chavs, The Demonization of the Working Class.
	Owen Gammon Jones, the man who called everyone Gammon whenever they disagreed with him on politics and the working class.
	I can't get over it.
	So he says, it's exactly 10 years since my first book, Chavs, The Demonization of the Working Class, came out.
	Which is beyond surreal.
	One of the two things that have happened since then, but I genuinely think it's more relevant than when it was first published.
	To you.
	Yeah.
	You're the man who's been demonising them.
	But you're on the side that constantly loses elections.
	So why would I think that you have a firm understanding of what's going on here?
	So the last thing I just wanted to squeeze through was the Labour subreddit.
	I love the Labour subreddit.
	I have a personal guilty pleasure of going there for fun.
	so this is the response i saw when the results are coming out there are times in british political history where a party dies off and is replaced and i think we're seeing the end of the labor party as we know it what will replace it i have no idea excellent the labor party activists saying this and then we can go to what they're campaigning on so they were trying to demonize the tories with this image i saw so thinking about voting tory That's a great advert!
	It looks awesome!
	It makes them look so metal.
	Yeah.
	Great.
	So you redesigned this.
	I posted it on Twitter.
	It's just conservatives, Memento Mori.
	Yeah.
	Which is with this skull.
	Yeah.
	We collect the skulls of the Labour Party.
	Because that's the thing.
	They were like, oh, it's the skulls of people who die from COVID. No, it's the skulls of your counsellors, man.
	Sip from them.
	Remember that you must die, Labour Party.
	Just Labour Party.
	Just spam them underneath Memento Mori, Memento Mori.
	You will die.
	You will die.
	No, it's not even you will die, you must die.
	Must die.
	They certainly must.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah.
	So there's also some things they had from them.
	They had at least one good meme that I saw, so we can get the next one out, which is just a good meme.
	Keir Starmer, I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas.
	That's a good point.
	It's true, but where's he going to go?
	Into socialism?
	Well, that failed, didn't it?
	What options does he have?
	This is something you can see from the RMP, so I wanted to play one clip here, which is part of Owen Jones' series where he went to Hartlepool and asked the Labour candidate.
	And the Labour candidate said that, basically, we have nada.
	What is Labour's vision for the country now?
	What does Labour stand for?
	Don't say fairness and everything being nice and mother having apple pie.
	What's it concretely?
	What's the vision?
	People in this election aren't talking, though, about Labour's vision, about Labour's vision for the country.
	They're talking about Labour's vision for Hartlepool.
	Well, it's both.
	OK, what's Labour's vision for Hartlepool?
	That's unique and different and distinct.
	Yeah, so the best companies come to Hartlepool to provide the best jobs because we have the best trained people.
	The Tories disagree with that?
	Because we've invested in people right from the start of life.
	There's some direct things.
	That's why I'm in politics.
	I'm genuinely interested.
	Do you know what the Labour vision of the country is?
	What are you asking?
	No, the country!
	The country!
	What's the Labour vision of the country?
	It's to replicate that.
	And you start the best place for a child to be born and the best place to grow up.
	He sounds like a communist revolutionary.
	How are you not on board with the party line?
	Who are you to decide the party line?
	Well, he knows what the party line is.
	Socialism.
	He doesn't want to say it because he knows the optics.
	Yeah, because he knows that people are not voting for that guy.
	Yeah, that's pure nutjob stuff.
	It's also the last thing here, just being the Labour's top Reddit learning nothing, because of course they didn't.
	Are you saying that he lost the seat?
	I won twice.
	I effing told you so.
	You inherited twice.
	You inherited it and wore it away and tested people's patience, and now it's come to this, and you lost it.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, let's just end on all that.
	Let's go to the pure cope that you've listed out.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, yeah, I mean, basically, I just wanted to go through some of the cope that I was seeing on Twitter just to talk about the pertinent underlying nature of it, which I think is important.
	Because at the end of the day, these people have learned nothing and will learn nothing.
	And it's because they can't admit what they are.
	They can't admit what their problems are.
	So, yeah, the first one was a Dr.
	Julia Grace, if we can get that up at some point, where she says, So, like...
	Who do you think that resonates with?
	What do you think you're doing?
	This has nothing to do with the election.
	4,000 likes.
	What are you doing?
	This is a verified checkmark on Twitter.
	Doctor, campaigner.
	There we go.
	So you're a lobbyist.
	In which case, you're probably a member of the Labour Party.
	Exactly.
	And yet this person has got traction, 1,500 retweets on Twitter.
	There's traction on social media.
	This is the kind of thing they're thinking of.
	But this means nothing to people.
	Like, it's nothing.
	You can sue the government because they handed out public money to companies when you were demanding they handed out public money to companies.
	Well, I didn't want them to hand out money to companies, but you're not campaigning on my behalf, are you?
	But anyway, so this is the kind of, like, lovey that just got BTFO'd.
	Anyway, go to the next one.
	Is this, which I found amusing.
	The BBC just described the Tories as scooping up the UKIP and Brexit votes as a coalition of the centre-right.
	The centre-right.
	The centre-right, which is a them thing.
	But to be honest with you, that's true.
	And I tell you, one of the things that I've noticed is there have been so many articles spammed out by the Independent and the Guardian recently, where they're like, oh, well, now that Brexit's happened, the devolved parliaments are growing in strength, the UK is going to break up, and it's like, okay, what happens to the Labour Party if it does?
	It's going to be literally the English Conservatives in a one-party state, where it's just dominated by the Tories.
	It will split eventually, as politics does, into two camps, and what the two camps are going to be.
	None of them are going to be socialist.
	Yeah, hopefully it's the traditionalists versus the Whigs, which would actually be excellent.
	I'd be actually very happy with that outcome.
	But yeah, anyway, so then we get into the calling people names segment of the Labour Cope.
	Saying, I don't like Labour, so I'm going to vote Conservative, is like saying, I don't like mashed potatoes, so I'm going to eat razors.
	It's like, sure.
	But then you say, right, okay, what are the Labour Party?
	It's like, hmm, they're not only eating razor blades, but they've also chopped off their own penises.
	So it's like, right, okay, I'm not voting for that.
	And they're like, hey, yeah, through the bloody mouth of razors, they're like, hi, would you like me to transition your child?
	And it's like, you know what?
	I'll just vote Tiger Patel.
	Thank you.
	Tiger Patel 2021, sorry!
	You can sit there and go the Tories are people eating razors, but they're really not.
	The Labour Party are the party where they're like, look at this beautiful cake.
	You can see the razor blade just sitting there.
	It's like, yeah, that probably does taste good, but I'm going to get cut in my mouth.
	It's like, well, yeah, there will be a few grooming gangs or there will be a few famines.
	You will have to accept a bunch of German-made laws.
	You might have to eat your toddlers in the famine.
	But we're going to give you some money, you know, some worthless hyperinflated money.
	We'll give you some worker tokens.
	Exactly, you know, and it's like, yeah, I would rather just the Conservative Party.
	The next one is fantastic.
	Watching the majority of English people still vote Conservative at elections.
	Genuine question, why can't you be effing normal?
	That's a great question, right?
	And it's because, Gene McGurk, the English are not continental Europeans.
	The English are a separate civilization, they have different values, and do not do the thing that you want.
	End of story.
	They don't vote SNP, they don't vote Labour, they don't vote for Continental Socialism.
	That's what it is.
	They will never vote for Continental Socialism, because fundamentally, it's crap.
	And it always messes up wherever it goes.
	And yet, the sort of, you know, the traditional, like, classically liberal English way of life, the sort of, like, government away from me, leave me alone to tend my garden, run my little shop, that's a much more successful way of life, which is why English is the lingua franca.
	It's why everyone speaks English and not French or German, because it's just a better way of doing things.
	So shut up, Jean McGurk.
	You're wrong, oh Scottish one.
	Sorry, Vicky.
	Tag not all Scots, I guess.
	Yeah, that's true, because, I mean, like, you know, 1.3 million of them vote for Brexit, you know, and...
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	But I am morally right, so that's the important thing.
	Anyway, the next one is, again, people coping about the Conservatives.
	Tom George.
	I find it genuinely mind-blowing that people continue to vote for the Conservative Party in this country.
	A party whose MPs regularly vote against the rights of women.
	Based.
	People of colour.
	Really?
	The LGBT community?
	And the lower classes.
	It's heartbreaking.
	You know, if the Conservatives had put this on a billboard...
	It would have been like you being like, yeah, but Boris Johnson called Muslim women letterboxes and people were like, right, okay, vote Boris.
	This is an advert.
	This is an advert because all you've done here is list a bunch of abstract categories.
	women people of color lgbtq no one no one like really thinks of those as real things they're abstract things they're hypothetical theoretical left-wing constructions and this is people saying i don't want that i want something that's tangible that's real that's like actually normal that doesn't imply that my government has gone mad with socialism that would be nice especially with like you know lgbtq plus i mean look at that there Trending in England, socialism.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Trending England.
	Socialism.
	On Twitter.
	Not with the regular public.
	Not with normal people.
	No, no, no.
	On Twitter.
	But yeah, so this, like, I love it.
	I find it mind-blowing that people vote for the Conservative Party in this country.
	Yeah, you do find it mind-blowing.
	You have absolutely no idea why this is happening to you.
	I believe it.
	I believe that the Labour Party don't understand why they're losing.
	You know, I love to see it though.
	I love to see it.
	And the best bit about it is literally because you obviously hate this country.
	It's you obviously hate it.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So this parody Boris Johnson account, right?
	This has been the most spectacular cope because obviously they're like, oh yeah, you know, like they just sent them mocking Boris Johnson every day on Twitter.
	That's what they do.
	And they get, you know, lots of followers and lots of subscribers.
	And so now it's the cope, right?
	So, the best thing about winning Hartlepool with the 7,000 majority is that I now have concrete proof that people don't give an S how corrupt I am, so well done Hartlepool.
	That's right, they don't.
	They don't.
	What's your corruption on Boris?
	He used money from donors to redo 10 Downing Street.
	Oh, thank Christ.
	Oh my God, I thought it was going to be something serious.
	I mean, there's nothing even there yet.
	If the donor didn't get anything in return, they just want to donate the money.
	There actually is no corruption.
	There is nothing to be said.
	Sure, but I mean, let's be real about it and be like, yeah, they're not giving this money for nothing.
	But the point is, if that's the extent of the corruption, I'm like, oh, thank God.
	Because as if we don't know that the Labour Party and the Labour MPs aren't corrupt, they're busy siphoning off massive amounts of expenses anyway.
	At least this came from a donor!
	It didn't come from my pocket, did it?
	The taxpayer didn't pay for it.
	Unlike, you know, Nas Shah's expenses, or Jess Phillips' expenses, or, you know, David Lammy's expenses, and, you know, it's the Labour Party.
	Like, Jacob Rees-Mogg had, like, £3,000 in expenses.
	David Lammy, what was it, £300,000?
	Yeah, £250,000, something like that.
	And it's like, so, don't give me this crap about, like, oh, they don't care how corrupt you...
	You don't care how corrupt the Labour Party is.
	And, yes, I don't care...
	If that's the level of corruption you have, I don't care, because that's well within tolerable limits, and I think the thing that you really should be paying attention to is the fact that the Labour Party appears to be essentially a party of treason at this point.
	It's a party that is against the United Kingdom and the people of the United Kingdom, as we will go on to see in the next parody of Boris Johnson.
	Tweet.
	Look at this.
	So they tweet out, you know, please take our free personality test on May the 6th.
	Go into a voting booth and if you find yourself voting Conservative, you know you're a selfish C. And the results of a personality test are in.
	Turns out there are quite a lot of C's in Hartlepool.
	That's right.
	That's right, be angry.
	They didn't vote for the Labour Party, therefore they're selfish.
	Sees.
	What I'm not even going to say.
	Keep going.
	Just keep going.
	Keep berating the working class for voting for their own interests instead of Labour's abstractions.
	Keep doing it.
	And then, of course, follow up.
	I mean, don't stop.
	Like, when you're busy condemning the electorate who rejected the Labour Party, rather than trying to understand them and ask them, why?
	Why has this happened to us?
	Why have you done this to us?
	Don't do that.
	Go to all the right-wing, racist, thick-as-pig-ass numpties who used to vote for UKIP and the Brexit Party.
	I'd just like to say, welcome home to the Conservative Party.
	That's like...
	That wins over nobody.
	You morons.
	That's in fact...
	Just one more straw on the camel's back.
	Just keep piling up these straws.
	That camel can't last forever.
	Next one is this meme picture.
	Boris the statesman.
	I am a statesman.
	Daddy said so.
	If you voted Tory, shame on you.
	Your reward is this.
	Okay, well, let's think about this.
	In a hundred years time, when the history books are being written, they're going to have nothing but the numbers.
	They're not going to have your emotional outbill.
	They might have your emotional outbill on Twitter, admittedly.
	But they're going to look at the numbers and be like, wow, people really like Boris.
	Boris won, and won again, and then won Brexit, and then won these council elections, and who knows what he'll win in the future if the Labour Party keeps putting up socialists to oppose him.
	You know, anti-British, like, you know, anti-patriots is what the Labour Party is, and Boris is like, Britain's good, lads.
	Boris landslide.
	I mean, for all the criticism, it doesn't matter.
	I mean, that's the numbers, whether you like it or not.
	If the statesman is repeatedly winning elections, then Boris is going to be the greatest statesman of the 21st century by the end of the Labour Party's reign.
	He's like a put-to-hell holding Yeah, exactly!
	That's exactly it!
	You know, Boris Johnson's Tiger Patel victory suck it party, just landslide after landslide, and the Labour Party are like, well, you're just all bad people.
	Shut up!
	Shut up, for the love of God!
	If you said nothing like Tiger Patel, you would have done better, I don't doubt.
	I honestly don't doubt, right?
	Next one is, obviously, people are going to leave for New Zealand.
	Oh, please.
	Please do.
	Please go and leave for the newest Chinese colony in the Pacific.
	Like, do it.
	If they even allow you in, because New Zealand's on lockdown.
	And I notice you're not like, I'm going to move to somewhere like Eastern Europe, or, you know, wherever else.
	You know, you're not going to South Africa.
	Let me move to an Anglo-ethno state.
	Exactly.
	You're moving to, like, the whitest, most English-speaking place that you can find that's also progressive.
	But also, incidentally, that exists on the guarantee of the sort of American hegemony.
	You know, it's not like New Zealand is defending itself.
	But yeah, go on.
	Move to New Zealand.
	And honestly, I really mean it, right?
	If you're a Labour voter, you're an upper middle class, you've got your degree, you've got a fair amount of money in the bank, just go.
	Just go.
	You're an insufferable prat and no one wants you here.
	I mean, pay for paying the flight for you.
	We'll use government money.
	Yeah, we can.
	We can use government money on the provisor that you never come back.
	Anyway, the next one...
	We're going to turn New Zealand into the Liberal camp.
	Turn New Zealand into essentially the Labour Party.
	You can have it.
	It's like a Labour colony.
	And we'll see how it goes.
	I love this one.
	Again, just rampant cope.
	The results show that people don't want left-wing or centrist politics, but full, fat, right-wing.
	They'll happily suck at the teat of power and wealth and the facade that they could get there one day whilst getting effed by them, as long as others are getting effed over more.
	Yeah.
	As long as others get after him at war.
	But...
	This guy, look how he defines himself.
	Gay, woke, some tweets of sarcasm, some satire, British flag, EU flag.
	And, of course, the pride flag.
	So, I mean, I just was like, yes, yes, Paul Morris, you should move to New Zealand.
	That's exactly correct.
	That's a great...
	They want full-fat right-wing politics.
	But what they mean when you say full-fat right-wing politics is they mean limited government.
	They mean being left alone.
	Minimum taxation.
	Minimum Gibbs, you know, people treating all of the types of people in the country as if they were the same, without any favour or distinction based on their individual merit, based on the fact that they get what they deserve.
	That's what they're asking for.
	What they view to be a just system, unlike, of course, your gay woke nonsense.
	So, you know, BTFO'd Paul.
	Let's go to the next one.
	David Williams.
	Though the official results aren't in yet, it looks as if the British electorate have signed an open check to the government to continue their unchecked sleaze, corruption and rapaciousness.
	If only.
	Do you think the Conservatives can do anything with this?
	Again, another staggering win over the Labour Party?
	We have a moratorium on criticizing them, but we'll be back to bullying them in 24 hours, don't you worry.
	But the point is, you know they aren't going to do anything exciting.
	But whilst they're destroying Labour, I'll give them a pass for now.
	Okay, pats on the head for the Tories.
	At least you kept the Labour from doing anything as well.
	Literally running candidates that don't say a word.
	What are you going to do?
	Literally nothing.
	I'm going to stand here.
	I'm going to be on the swings.
	But that's almost exactly what I want.
	I want the government to do nothing.
	Yes, exactly.
	Leave me alone.
	Yes, exactly.
	Anyway, so the next one.
	People voting for a party that clearly doesn't give an S about them is something I'll never understand.
	Okay, Tim McKenna, let me explain it from the English position.
	We don't want the government to give an S about us.
	We honestly don't.
	Because the government is like a giant incompetent ogre.
	And it...
	It's full of people who don't really understand what's going on, but when it's controlled by labor, they sit there and go, oh, well, we have to do something.
	It's like, look, I would rather it if you did nothing.
	To say, oh, the government's not going to get involved, it's to say, right, the worst of the damage has already been mitigated.
	Now, what else can we do as just individuals and communities, right?
	That's exactly it.
	God, I would vote for a party that would literally do nothing to you for this entire five-year reign.
	Oh, fantastic.
	You know, no tax hikes, no interference, no nothing.
	Or literally rollback regulation.
	Or even just do nothing.
	Yeah, I'll just see.
	Change another.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Just make sure that things run.
	Oh, good.
	Next one.
	Left-wing Kim.
	Not having a good day.
	I know the Labour Party are a walking disaster right now.
	No, no, no.
	Ex-Labour Party members of June 2020.
	Hung on as long as I could.
	Politically homeless for the first time in my life.
	Yeah, stop being in politics is what you want to do, Kim.
	Go do something else.
	I know the Labour Party are a walking disaster right now.
	I get it.
	I was a member, and yet I didn't want to vote Labour yesterday.
	But come on, what's it actually going to take for people to see the Tories for what they really are?
	Well, what really are they?
	Because the Labour Party are class traitors.
	And national traitors.
	And the Conservatives, as bad as you can paint them, are basically just dumb and greedy.
	Okay, well, I'll take someone who's dumb and greedy, then someone who's openly treasonous and calls me a bigot because I'm white, you know, I will take that over whatever it is the Labour Party are promoting any day of the week.
	I'm trying to get through these very quick, so next one.
	So, yes, according to Sky News, Labour's losses have been years in the making.
	Correct.
	That's a correct statement.
	This has been coming for a long time.
	Now, this is what happens when the centrists don't want the left anymore and then drive us out.
	They can try and blame Corbyn, but listen to us, this is down to Starmer and his snakes.
	If only that were true, then there would be hope for left-wing politics in the UK, but there isn't.
	This is the consequence, the rolling consequence, the slow-motion car crash.
	They're so stuck, aren't they?
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's been a year, they're still stuck arguing about Corbyn.
	Yeah.
	I mean, imagine putting pro-vaxxer in your bio.
	Pro-vaxxer.
	Yeah, but, like, nobody's anti-vax.
	Like, a small fringe of idiots in America are anti-vax.
	No one's anti-vax.
	Like, you know, I'm pro-driving on the left-hand side of the road.
	Well, who's pro-right?
	Well, what people's opinions is, you know, the extreme opinions on vaxxers is just, it should be free choice.
	Yeah.
	That's the extreme opinion.
	Vaccine is obviously a good thing.
	But anyway...
	This summarises the left's entire position for the last five years or so, and as Jonathan sarcastically points out, I can't understand where it went wrong.
	Britain is awful, you people are scum, vote Labour.
	That's the messaging.
	That's been the messaging for years now, and that's why you're getting crushed.
	Repeatedly crushed, and it will continue.
	You deserve it.
	The beatings will continue until morale improves, Labour.
	LAUGHTER I've had fun today.
	It's been glorious.
	In case people are wondering, Carl saw the news about the late party, he was just like, hey, let's come into this segment.
	It's going to be good fun.
	I'm going to record the podcast with Beau after this as well.
	Yeah, so you're still on holiday though, so don't get too excited.
	Let's go for the video comments.
	Well, if you don't address the problem, it's not the case that the problem stays the same.
	It gets worse because things deteriorate of their own accord.
	So what do you do about that?
	You stand up straight with your shoulders back.
	Ignore one responsibility.
	Two more shall take its place.
	Hail Lobster!
	The thing is that is actually a really great explanation of Peterson's message.
	Just take responsibility.
	Tell the truth, clean your room.
	If that's Hydra now, hell Hydra.
	I'd like to see you do Caitlyn Jenner next.
	That's a challenge.
	See you later, guys.
	Get yourself a dress, I guess.
	Sorry, let's go to the next one.
	French warship Athos.
	Athos for a 100-tonne displacement patrol boat that's unarmed.
	The British response by comparison was to send Severn and Tamar three and a half thousand tons of displacement between them, fully refitted for combat in the Middle East very recently.
	French don't really learn anything about fighting us, do they?
	No.
	And it's actually really embarrassing.
	Like, you can go literally for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years, the French have been absolutely getting crushed at sea by the British.
	Like the French, the Spanish, even when they team up, absolutely crushed.
	And literally all over the world, British fleets crush the French.
	You know, it's not just the English Channel.
	No, no, it's the Nile.
	It's out in the Pacific.
	It's in the Atlantic.
	It's everywhere.
	Yeah, it's everywhere.
	And it's like, hmm, maybe you just stay on land.
	If you're even any good at that.
	Germans turn up.
	I don't even know how France still exists, to be honest.
	Thirty wars.
	We have thirty wars with them.
	Anyway, let's go for the next one.
	Hello, everyone.
	I'd like to provide a potential tool that you can use to escape from COVID tyranny on your workplace.
	If your employer is trying to introduce mandatory COVID testing, Like they tried to in my workplace.
	Well, here's what I did.
	I received an email saying that there would be mandatory COVID swab testing at my workplace.
	And I responded with the following.
	I cannot consent to this testing as it is a violation of my bodily integrity.
	That's the exact line I used and my HR department immediately backed down.
	The reason I really like this framing is because it is morally powerful and unarguable.
	There is no debate.
	Do not engage with any argument about reasons or safety, or it's just a swab.
	The answer is no.
	You may not violate my bodily integrity.
	Anyone who attempts to convince you that any external factor or person should influence your judgment on your own body is de facto arguing from the position of a rapist.
	That's exactly right.
	And the thing he left out about that framing is that that framing is using left-wing language.
	It's exactly the way the left frames it when they say, my body, my choice.
	And so just turning it back on them and saying, well, this is a violation of my bodily autonomy, perfect.
	I don't even know why my body, my choice is still a left-wing argument.
	Well, it shouldn't be.
	Is it anymore?
	No.
	But how can they even use that?
	Who objects to that?
	I don't know.
	I mean, like, the right can own that, but the left certainly can't, especially if they're arguing for mandatory vaccinations.
	I mean, I'm for vaccinations.
	Vaccination seems to work.
	It's all great, blah, blah, blah.
	But I'm not for the mandatory part.
	Mandatory?
	Yeah.
	Are you nuts?
	Yeah.
	The government doesn't have a right to inject me with something.
	End of story?
	What's the discussion here?
	Government should be able to rape you.
	Vote Labour.
	How are we losing in all these elections?
	I just can't get over it.
	Everyone must be a bigot.
	Just Oh, man.
	Today was a good day.
	I'm glad it was on a Friday as well.
	I've got a great weekend joining all this.
	Let's go to the comments underneath the chat.
	Do you want to read these?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Radical Centrist God says, Watching Labour squirm is glorious.
	What a disgrace they are to us all.
	They're supposed to challenge the government and keep them in line, not challenge the people by supporting movements that ultimately destroy Britain if not stopped.
	That's a great summary.
	That's a great summary of the problem.
	Labour are just a treasonous party.
	Andrew Young says, ooh, a single topic podcast.
	Nothing more lovely than watching something dedicated to Wokeys tearing themselves apart on a Friday morning.
	Canadian here, sorry, eh?
	No, no, no need to apologize.
	It's not your fault.
	But yes, it's wonderful watching the Labour Party coping.
	Joseph Woodland says, people act like voters don't know the Conservatives are corrupt.
	Everyone knows that they're voting for the corruption.
	The difference is that they, the Conservatives, skim the cream from the top, whereas the Labour are likely to step fire to the cow and tell you you don't need milk anyways.
	That's exactly it.
	That's a great way of putting it.
	Everyone knows the Conservatives are corrupt.
	Like I said, but what have they got?
	Oh, he remodeled number 10 with donor money.
	Don't care.
	Just don't care.
	Christ.
	There are literally, like, corruption in other countries is orders of magnitude worse than this.
	Corruption, bad.
	But, I mean, as you said about the whole thing, the statement from the, I think it was the Tory party leader or whatever, like the chairman, gave him a statement, and he just went, look, if it wasn't public money, I don't care.
	It's just like, okay.
	Why would I? Like, the donor doesn't seem to...
	Well, there's no evidence he got anything in return.
	And if he gave all this money to Johnson to buy pillows...
	Kieran O'Neill says, Carl, what's best in life?
	To dunk on your enemies, see them reen before you and hear the lamentation of their non-gender-defined BAME allies.
	Anthony says, a Labourite was on this morning and said, the message isn't getting through.
	They have never considered that the message itself is the problem.
	They learn nothing.
	Yeah, that's exactly the problem.
	The message got through loud and clear.
	We're a bunch of fucking commies, you know?
	People just don't know that we're a bunch of commies, I guess.
	How communist we are!
	Samuel Willems says, is that alcoholic?
	Yeah.
	Which is why Callum's red in the face.
	Yeah, is there any left?
	2Number9 says, As a North East native, I'm enjoying this even more than you guys.
	It's even funnier seeing some of the Facebook posts.
	Be sure to share the Lotus Seater segments later.
	Good day.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Please do share our segments with your Northern friends who voted against the Labour Party to show some sort of North and South solidarity against the French.
	Joe Rittenhouse says, I usually listen to podcasts while listening to the gym.
	Callum made me laugh so hard, I dropped a weight and hurt myself.
	Totally worth it, thanks for the laugh, guys.
	You better apologise to Joe.
	Sorry, mate.
	Tiger Patel suck this, but...
	Tiger Patel landslide!
	But, oh my, working out during the podcast was a mistake.
	Do you bastards have any idea how hard it was to do my stomach crunches while wheezing?
	My abs are dead.
	And hashtag suck this tiger dick energy.
	Oh God, that's so funny.
	I just suck!
	Suck!
	I looked up, there's a news article that came out after him, he said, well I didn't know it was there, and the thing is, he probably didn't know it was there, that's the thing, that's even better, it's even worse planned than it looks.
	I don't want to believe that, because I want to believe that he knew, and he was like, this is great.
	Oh, word, he doesn't say it.
	Word.
	The only English word is the vote Conservatives suck.
	Throwing up the penis.
	I love the fact that the Conservatives, no one was like, okay, we're going to have to take that down.
	We can't have that out there.
	For what, though?
	I'm embarrassing the fact that Labour didn't fix the park benches and all that.
	It's like, well, he's not wrong, is he?
	Bad optics, you think?
	Bad optics?
	I'm showing that the Labour Party keep graffiti up.
	I think I'm going to die of laughter.
	That has happened before, incidentally.
	I'll get both to do a podcast tonight.
	Joseph Woodland says, everyone I've spoken to in London is like, is it possible to spoil a single column on the ballot?
	London may end up with bin face as mayor, seeing as the first choice is debated, but everyone has been putting bin face as their second, the election being rubbish.
	Yeah, but you know Sadiq Khan's going to win that, unfortunately.
	Let me check BBC News for any news on London, because we also have a sweepstake on some of the candidates to see how well they do.
	Unfortunately, it looks like Sadiq Khan's going to win it.
	Christian says, Conservative candidate wins campaign without saying a word, barely spending money on advertising, and just stares into the camera, flexing his stoicism.
	Sign me up, he's already more useful than most politicians.
	I mean, why not?
	If your opponents are literally in the process of destroying themselves, I'm just going to be quiet and stand here.
	You can vote for that if you want.
	Or, Tiger Patel.
	So what were we on?
	We were on minus 50-something seats for Labour.
	It's now on minus 80.
	They've completely lost control of a council.
	Can John get the...
	Yeah, I'll send you a link, mate.
	Jesus Christ.
	This whole day is going to be beautiful.
	I'm looking forward to Monday's Curb Your Labour Party meme collection, or can we find Keir saying, we'll win, do an always sunny Labour Party gets wrecked title card.
	Today is a good day to be northern, simple as.
	Yeah, I love it.
	I love it.
	That's why I had to come in.
	I'm on holiday.
	So it's like, yeah, this is worth it.
	I'm surprised you didn't do a stream last night, to be honest.
	Oh, I didn't want to ruin it.
	Yeah, you'd have to stay up all night as well.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Sugar Supremacist says, Hey guys, think Keir will step down now?
	The Tories have been demolished.
	Has demolished another red brick in the wall.
	Looking forward to seeing just how badly Labour done in Liverpool.
	I'm praying a lady running for Labour doesn't win.
	In all her promotional writing, the longest it took her to write, she was both black and a woman with seven letters.
	I was stunned by her bravery.
	Oh, God.
	Jesus Christ, the Labour are down 85 councillors and the Conservatives are up 72.
	Things can only get better.
	That was something Josh mentioned earlier as well.
	What are they going to do?
	Because I was saying they could revert into Colbynism, which would just take them further into the hell.
	And you were saying, well, maybe they could get a Blair type.
	But it's like, even Tony Blair has denounced Blairism at this point.
	Everything about them, he said this was a mistake, this was awful.
	So...
	Nada.
	I really just hope they...
	I said you to pull the show, but, like, the monarchists, the absolute monarchists, they're all gone.
	They dissipated throughout the centuries, and now they're not a real thing.
	The same thing should happen with the socialists over the world.
	They should just dissipate into a century of the 1900s and the 1800s, and they're no longer going to be part of the...
	Oh, the 20th century is a century of socialism.
	Wow.
	Without a doubt.
	In the 21st century...
	They should dissipate into nothing.
	Exactly.
	The death of socialism.
	As Ryan Broderick, in fact, says here, the Red Wall should be renamed the Red Grave.
	It's like, yes.
	Oh, that's good.
	Yes.
	Oh, but the Red Wall...
	No, the Red Grave.
	Communist.
	Ignatius says, I want to ask you guys something.
	Does the left there vandalise cities with stickers, posters and nonsense every such election?
	Yes.
	It's insufferable.
	I went to Bristol the other day to visit my sister and her boyfriend.
	And it's just everywhere.
	Just insufferable.
	I mean, literally, we're driving in, and I see this graffiti on the wall.
	Mild crime is okay.
	Mild crime is okay graffitied on the wall of Bristol.
	Owen Jones.
	I don't miss my phone.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It must have been an Owen Jones subscriber.
	It's like, no, it's not okay.
	Why would you say that?
	He just had his phone nicked as well.
	Yeah, he just had his phone nicked as well.
	Exactly.
	Sorry, Owen.
	Mild crime is okay.
	Remember?
	I've got a folder on my laptop, which I like to top up.
	And in case anyone has any of this, it's probably put out a call.
	I just document Labour Party graffiti.
	Because I love how they just write Tory lies or vote stuff all over the place.
	But they just destroy their own neighbourhoods with this crap graffiti.
	So I'm just logging it all up.
	Because you never see the Tories do it.
	No, because the Tories care about the environment.
	They care about the condition of the place you live in.
	Which is why Tiger Patel's like, look at this crap swing set that the Labour Party have done.
	I can't write the swings.
	But if you vote me...
	Honestly, I'm totally voting Tiger Patel.
	You better fix those swings.
	You better make him suck it.
	I think that's already been done, given the results.
	But, right, yeah.
	Tia Foolspark.
	Oof.
	Twitter is trying hard for labour.
	Seems like salt and bread makes Carl return to the challenge of the rising Callum fate.
	Yes.
	There's no bread here, I'm afraid.
	Even though that's not keto-friendly.
	I don't know why I allowed it.
	I paid for it.
	It's not good enough.
	Screw your property rights.
	Yes.
	Well, I mean, as long as they're taking votes from Labour, I don't care.
	They are right as well.
	I've seen Lord Howling Stutch or whatever his name is, the party leader.
	I keep saying, we had this policy in this year and they took it up in this year.
	Literally tens and tens of policies have been adopted by the Labour and the Conservatives since the Monster Raving Loony Party came up with them.
	I'll have to get you a list.
	Good.
	Sugar Supreme says, Ooh, Carl's back.
	How was the holiday?
	It's been fine so far, but I'm not finished with it yet.
	How was Jersey this time of year?
	I haven't been to Jersey.
	We're going to the Isle of Wight.
	Can't even stay on holiday, Carl's poor wife.
	Well, we haven't gone yet.
	Welcome back, Keto God.
	In light of the carb heresy, podcast 124.
	Would you consider buying a shame chair in the shape of a loaf of bread for the heretics to sit on while you beat them with a baguette, shouting you like bread?
	Enjoy carbs, you filthy animal?
	No, because they might be like, Chad, yes.
	I'm not having that at all.
	It's disgusting.
	But it was a good meme.
	But right, that seems to be the comments.
	Have I? No.
	No, no, I think I've gone through them.
	I eat commies.
	Just read the chat.
	Carl the keto commie.
	Literally taking away my...
	Keto shari, I think.
	No, you're taking away my property rights to drink champagne.
	Yep.
	I paid for the champagne!
	God forbid sugar.
	My weed, my rights.
	So that's the train I'm on now.
	The Isle of Wight as well.
	The Isle of Wight, yes.
	There was a pub on the Isle of Wight, a hotel.
	We're not staying in it, but I saw this, it was a report by Russia Today.
	The white man's pub.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	They were like, no mask wearers here.
	If you're a mask wearer, you're a sheep and you're not allowed to our pub.
	And so I'm going to go down there and buy a beer and, well, not a beer, but a drink and a meal.
	Take my family there, we're going to meet there.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, if you've got more of them.
	John's just offering me more drinks.
	Yeah, it's either not refreshing for me or something, Vicky?
	Because I can't see...
	Can you put it on screen as well, John?
	Look how big this thing is.
	I'm just reloading it, see if that'll help.
	I don't know how to pour champagne, I don't care.
	Usually don't drink on the job, but...
	Today is a good day.
	Late party extinction event calls for drinks.
	Right, okay, I've got a few now.
	I live in Bury in Lancashire, and the Conservative on the ballot for the ward is a female North Korean defector.
	Sorry, what?
	In Bury in Lancashire, the Conservative on the ballot is a North Korean defector.
	Yeah.
	Well, she's got to stand for Labour.
	Well, that's the point, isn't it?
	But, like, just of all the things.
	Well, I flared socialism, and I've come here to oppose socialism.
	I'm trying to think of something I can say.
	What does that mean?
	Hello, I love you.
	Probably broken grammar to hell, though.
	Jordan Chandler.
	Labour supporters once complained about corruption while championing Corbyn, who sided with just about every enemy of Britain that there is.
	Yes.
	I can't think of an enemy of Britain that Corbyn didn't lionise, in fact.
	No, he didn't like the Jews.
	Maybe in the United States during the Revolutionary War?
	I'll have to ask him, who did you side with on the American Revolution, Corbyn?
	He wouldn't pick the Americans.
	He would, wouldn't he?
	Owen Taylor.
	I remember watching a video of Jacob Rees-Mogg going to Hartlepool six or seven years ago to see if there's any chance of Conservatives claiming seats there to dig out the five that existed then.
	It shows the Conservative Party is run like a business, planning ahead, pressing the flip areas with an effective propaganda machine.
	This is why they don't have theoreticians.
	Their focus is to win votes, not the moral high ground.
	That's true.
	It's one of the curses of the party, which is why they don't act as they should sometimes, a lot of the time, is because they don't think in those ways.
	They think entirely in terms of power.
	You can see it in the way that the system functions.
	There's a great documentary from Cardamid the Guy.
	He's an ex-Conservative MP. He used to be on Politics Live.
	You might remember the name.
	But he made a whole series called, what is it, What's Wrong with the Tory Party?
	And he's got Boris Johnson in there, George Osborne, David Cameron.
	It's not Hesseltine, is it?
	Maybe.
	But he gives...
	Basically, Heseltine was on there, actually, giving his opinion.
	But it's essentially all of them, like all of the Tories from all the different wings, came to the same conclusion, which is that this party understands power in Britain, and they understand how to take it.
	And that's what makes it such a powerful force, and that's essentially it.
	That's one of the curses and also pleasures of the Tory party, is it knows how to take power, but as a result it doesn't really know what to do with it.
	LAUGHTER On the plus side, at least that means it'll do the minimum damage possible.
	If only they'd get rid of Labour's initiatives.
	Just get Dominic Cummings back and just be like, Dom, what do we need to do?
	Yeah, get him back.
	Come on.
	You've got the power now.
	You've got all you can ever watch.
	What are they going to do?
	Overthrow you at the ballot box?
	Not likely.
	But you're living in a one-party state.
	Okay, you can put that to the side for at least a few years and just fix the country.
	Yeah.
	Just undo everything.
	Go through.
	When Tony Blair was like, oh yeah, that was a mistake.
	That was a mistake.
	That was a mistake.
	Just good enough for us.
	Repeal.
	Repeal.
	Boris Johnson, my new special advisor.
	Tony Blair to get rid of everything Tony Blair ever did.
	That would be music to my ears.
	It would be the one way that Tony Blair could get himself into my good graces.
	That would be the redemption arc, Tony.
	Yeah.
	Michael Portillo, there we go.
	That's it, yeah.
	I like Portillo as well.
	Owlman says, Happy Friday, everyone.
	To be fair, I think the comedian Andrew Lawrence has the best take on things, especially Keir.
	We need an opposition badly.
	I wonder if we'll step up.
	Exciting times.
	Have a good weekend all.
	Yeah, it seems like a very white-pilled chat today.
	I love how you mixed up the presenters in the past week and with Helen.
	As much as I like the original combination, we keep mixing up the podcast this way.
	Maybe.
	Depends how everyone else lets us know how you feel.
	I'm surprised you've not mentioned the haram that occurred while you were sat there, Carl.
	Bread.
	Yeah, I know.
	But it was a good deal.
	At least I chose the English bread.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Josh chose a bloody forget.
	What a gay.
	Seems like your Labour Party has gone away with full wokeism, full brokism.
	Yes, they have.
	The Scottish overnight count was postponed because of COVID restrictions.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	I think this isn't going on YouTube, this part, so I can talk.
	Good deal of fortification, as Doubtless had.
	In Glasgow, all the ballot boxes got full, as the BBC reported, so they had to stop voting for a while.
	Oh, really?
	Because they got new boxes, because there was extremely high voter turnout.
	Newcastle City Council reported that they had to postpone voting counting for a bit because of an unprecedented amount of postal votes that appeared at the last minute, and it was like...
	Wow, a 4am ballot dump.
	What do you mean, postal votes at the last minute?
	Yeah, when did the postman last turn up?
	What are you talking about?
	He doesn't tend to turn up at like 4 in the morning.
	Oh man.
	But yeah, that's not going on YouTube.
	It's exclusive for everyone who comes and watches the website.
	Glad you're here.
	Henry says, I've been listening to this podcast with England football chants on in the background.
	It feels very much like Rule Britannia, Three Lions and Vindaloo on a repeat kind of day.
	What a war against the French and tall labour a new arsehole.
	What a day.
	Yeah, I know.
	Suck it.
	Oh, I love it.
	We've gone through a few football chants.
	Did you have a favour or not in the end?
	I don't have a favour.
	Okay.
	My mum, you know, but I'll try.
	So there's a Korean player.
	I can't know who he played for, but he scored a goal and in response, the crowd chanted, Park, park, wherever you may be, you eat dogs in your home country.
	Could be worse.
	You could be scouse eating rats in your council house.
	So good.
	Do we have any Liverpool results in yet, by the way?
	I don't know, actually.
	I would like to know what the Liverpool results would be.
	Mark says, it's probably going to take another few decades before we have here in the States this sort of thing.
	As a result, at the moment the Democrats are all asleep and they don't realize how bad things are.
	Things are going to need to get very bad before we see any meaningful change.
	Yeah, I think the United States is a bit of a separate entity at this point because of the fortification of your system.
	Nona Tugiv says, Is Labour's concept of women even commonly shared definition with the rest of English society?
	No.
	No, it's not.
	It literally isn't.
	If you happen to wonder what the Labour Party think of what a woman is, go and ask them.
	Just go and ask for your local Labour representative.
	What is a woman exactly?
	And they'll stumble and collapse and they'll spend 20 minutes dissolving into a pool like Joe Swenson did.
	So yeah, how badly did things go in Liverpool?
	Because Liverpool's a communist area, basically, man.
	There's a hatred of the Tories that runs deep there.
	Oh, wait, so, wait, the Conservatives won Liverpool.
	What?
	Oh my god.
	Okay, so, for any Americans watching, right, this is like the Republicans winning California, right?
	This is...
	You're kidding me.
	Now, there's got to be national results, surely.
	That can't be the local results.
	From 19 councils.
	Is that...
	Is that it, John?
	Okay, no, no, Liverpool isn't in yet.
	Liverpool isn't in yet.
	Right, right, right, okay.
	Right, okay.
	Just checking.
	Okay.
	Right.
	19 available so far.
	Right, okay.
	That's what's happening so far.
	Right, okay, yeah, fine.
	Okay.
	My take is this.
	It says, no, thank you.
	My country is a constitution that gives people the right to free movement within the country and peaceful assembly.
	Every May we have a celebration of this constitution.
	The government seeks to break our constitutional right to free movement and peaceful assembly to ban us from celebrating our constitution.
	What clown world is this?
	Yeah.
	My question is off-topic completely, says Brittany, but since Carl is back, I'd like to hear his answer.
	What are some general American stereotypes that British people have?
	I asked about stereotypes of American women specifically yesterday, and I'd like to know all about us this time, especially from Carl.
	I find stereotypes hilarious, but mostly because there has to be some truth to them.
	I want to refine my answer.
	That's why I find stereotypes hilarious as well, by the way.
	The answer I had yesterday was American women being a bit whiny and not knowing about foreign places.
	But I want to refine that, because that's a bit rude to say that they're not intelligent, because the same is true.
	Most people in Britain or Europe don't know anything about the different states.
	And again, why should you know about half the countries in Europe?
	You have no interest in them, there's no border with them, you're never going to visit them, most likely.
	So that's not fair, I should mention.
	But it is the stereotype that you ask them about, you know, like Slovakia.
	They just have no idea what that even is.
	What were you going to say about American stereotypes?
	Generally, Americans are viewed as being kind of ignorant, to be honest.
	Not in a bad way, though.
	They're viewed as well-meaning people.
	Justified ignorance.
	Like, why should they know about Eastern Europe?
	Sure.
	They're viewed as well-meaning, a bit buffoonish in some ways, but trying to do the right thing.
	And generally, they're ours.
	They're a product of Britain.
	They're way too optimistic, though, and they think the rest of the world is a very simple game.
	That's something I should say.
	You see how they come to a foreign problem, and they frame it in terms of American left and right, and they think that's how everything works, and you're like, good God, no.
	This is way more complex than you're approaching it.
	Yeah, tremendous optimism, lots of money, lots of, like, get up and go.
	Generally not that well in touch with the things that they're dealing with, though.
	In foreign lands.
	Yeah, in foreign lands.
	And their own politics sometimes.
	But generally, it sounds like a negative stereotype, but it's not, because underpinning it is very much the sort of, like, family wholesomeness, you know, sort of like Clark Griswold kind of wholesomeness.
	Like, you know, they are decent people, and, you know, you're aware that they're decent people.
	They're just Americans, and that's okay.
	You know, somebody had to be, so, you know...
	The overly friendliness as well.
	You're standing in a queue and they start talking to you.
	Yeah, there.
	But that's how I met my first American friend at university.
	And we're still friends.
	I can say I'm chocker sometimes.
	He's a great guy, but it was weird.
	Yeah, but it is something distinct.
	Ruben says, come on America, oh wait, Democrats are allowed to cheat.
	Sorry, carry on.
	Long Talks on the Neach says, are you guys excited for the New York liberal meltdown that will inevitably follow Elon Musk's hosting of Saturday Night Live and the subsequent Wall Street meltdown the following Monday after Elon causes the stock market to have an epileptic seizure?
	I'm not sure which group will be funnier.
	Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to that because Elon's a normal guy.
	Surprisingly.
	Audience, define what a woman is.
	Now, to invest in Dogecoin.
	Yeah, no, I am looking forward to that.
	Before the election, I saw a Conservative banner vandalised with red blood-like paint, and I thought that was terrible optics for Labour.
	I don't vote for vandals.
	No.
	They vandalised their own neighbourhoods.
	Yeah.
	I was walking down the street the other day, and I'm moving from Reading, because Reading, at least the central part where I live, good God, it's got some problems.
	Just some guy was, like, vandalising his own street, and there was people just, like, throwing trash on the floor where they live.
	Sounds like Liverpool.
	But that's the thing.
	It's like the Labour guys who go out and write the graffiti over where they live.
	I'm just like, what's wrong with you?
	The Tories are bad.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, maybe, but they're bad somewhere else.
	You're bad right here.
	Yeah, it's the centre of Reading as well.
	This is a very Labour stronghold.
	I'm not even going to look.
	I voted yesterday, as I did.
	I only had Tory candidates, or communists, so I voted Tory because it's what I was going to do.
	And the communists, they're going to win.
	They're going to win because there's no chance.
	But it's...
	What a mess.
	Other sides of Reading are quite nice, I must say.
	Jeff says, As someone who has been drowning in black pills and plans to retreat to the wilderness as soon as I can afford it, today is a good day.
	I'm flying my cross to St.
	George to celebrate our victory over our enemies, both red and French.
	And I don't know, what site is this from?
	Odyssey.
	Do we really want the Labour Party to be so rubbish?
	We have a one-party state now.
	Not really, but the thing is, it's not really about what we want, is it?
	It's about what we get.
	And the Labour Party are as the Labour Party are.
	They're horribly corrupted by continental socialism and I don't think can be reformed.
	So hopefully something good can come out of the ashes.
	There is nothing to be reformed from them.
	There is nothing to be reclaimed.
	They have to completely evaporate into nothingness like the Liberal Party of old.
	You know, nothing.
	There needs to be a fringe party that sells pencils at conventions.
	And then we will have a two-party system in which we have some kind of Liberal Patriots versus the Conservative Patriots and we can have some actual conversations.
	Sorry, I read the next comment and it's really good, right?
	Read of it.
	If you think that was bad for Labour, the Women's Equality Party lost to a registered sex offender in Hartlepool by about 100 votes.
	Can't wait until Jess Phillips is leading the Labour Party.
	Wait, hang on.
	Was the Women's Equality Party counted at a man?
	Because it would be a male feminist.
	No, no, no.
	The person they lost to...
	Yeah, but then both of them would be...
	Well, yeah.
	But it's, unironically, Hartlepool, like, we'll choose the rapist over the communists.
	Oh, God.
	Like, you could see Milo in the corner being like, yeah, I told you.
	Just...
	So there we go.
	Good day.
	Oh boy, things can only get better, eh Tony?
	Get where you fucking deserve!
	Suck it!
	Yeah, exactly!
	This has been a long time coming and you earned every single kick in the face.
	You earned it.
	I don't want to just end today, I want to really give a thank you to everyone who signed up to TheLadies.com and is watching today because, I mean...
	We wouldn't be able to do this without you.
	I've had the best time of my life today.
	So we will be back Monday, 1 o'clock.
	He won't be here.
	You're going back on holiday.
	But we will be doing a recording with Beau about what now.
	Yeah, because the History Podcast, I knew people would like it.
	It's good content, right?
	And so we're going to be doing Pythias, who went and sailed around Britain.
	This is an exciting journey, too.
	So that'll be up next week.
	I look forward to it.
	So we'll be back on Monday.
	If you want more content, you can go to the Lotus Eaters channel, not the podcast one.
	We have another one called Lotus Eaters, in which we'll have contemplations from Hugo and Carl, in which they'll be discussing things.
	Or there's plenty of good content on the website.
	Go to the website.
	We have, as I mentioned, the Hand of the Navigator Premium Podcast.
	So if you're a premium member, go and give that a watch, because it's an amazing story.
	Or if you want to see some free content, there's plenty of free content, including the article from Lauren Southern.
	But thank you for joining us.
	We'll see you on Monday.
	Thank you very much.
	Bye-bye.
