Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 13th of May 2021.
This month is messing with me, I swear.
Anyway, I'm joined by Josh.
Hello.
And today we're going to be talking about the grooming gangs that never stop, ever.
The gas prices in the United States and what's actually going on with the price of gas, why it's gone up so much.
It's not just because of the pipeline.
You're going to be showing us that.
Because I'm interested to know actually why.
What's the specific things?
Of course it is.
And also the Conservative Party's manifesto against wokeness, which I was not expecting.
Like, 50 Conservative MPs have banded together to write a manifesto about why wokeness is evil and how they must destroy it.
And it's like, well, okay, at least they know what the problem is now.
That's, you know, baby steps.
But before we get into it, just a couple of things I wanted to mention first.
So, firstly, some people were upset about one of the topics in previous podcasts.

Thank you very much.
Anyway, without further ado, let's get into...
Yeah, I saw people calling like...
What was it?
You said it was Callum's Black Pills?
Yeah.
Let's get in there.
Anyway.
So, first story.
This is going to be fun.
So, the grooming gangs never stopped, because, I mean, why would they?
Like, we were all told they were still going on, and yes, they are still going on, as we speak.
And the only silver lining to this whole story is going to be, there have been more convictions.
So, at least people are being charged and convicted, so things are going through, rather than just being completely ignored, as in the past.
But in case someone doesn't know or they're just joining us, I wanted to show the...
This is the thing we're going to be focusing on today, the Halifax Child Sex Abuse Ring.
This is part of the series of grooming gangs which have been found up and down the country in the same pattern of abuse in which a gang of people essentially use children as prostitutes or pass them around their friends and rape them, you know, after friending them as boyfriends, giving them, you know, alcohol or, you know, kebabs and whatnot.
And, yeah, disproportionately one group in Britain takes part in this.
But let's go through it.
So...
They say here the Halifax child sex abuse ring was a group of men who committed serious sexual offences to underage girls in English towns in Halifax and the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire.
It was the largest child sexual exploitation investigation in the United Kingdom.
In 2016, the perpetrators were found guilty of rape and other crimes.
And at separate trials at Leeds Crown Court.
In total, as many than 100 men have been involved in the child abuse.
100 men, just in this town, in this investigation.
And then they list in here, because this is a Wikipedia article, I'm just reading the summation here, and I love how this has been editorialized.
So they say here that in 2017, Quilliam released a report entitled Group-Based Child Sexploitation Dissecting Grooming Gangs, which concluded that 84% of offenders were of South Asian heritage.
And this information was, as they said in their report, limited because they did not have access to all of the government's data.
They had to look at just what was publicly available in the convictions and what they found was that.
And then they say here that there was research that contraries to this opinion.
The review was criticized for its poor methodology by Ella Cockbane and Wakas Tufal.
Sorry.
In a paper they titled Failing Victims, Fueling Hate, Challenges and the Harms of Muslim Grooming Gangs Narrative, which was published in January 2020.
And I've seen left-wingers who love to throw up this and other research by Ella Cockbane because she's an academic, so she's in a position to make research and publish it.
And I just wanted to, if we can get it up, just so people can go and read it in their own times, it's garbage.
Like, it's real garbage.
I'm...
If you go through it, you can see that it's clearly motivated by political sentiments, not through finding the facts.
It also seems to deny that there's any aspect to what's going on on the religious or racial grounds, and it entirely focuses on the fact that this is just child sexual exploitation and trying to universalize it.
I mean, the Jeremy Corbyn approach of being like, I'm against all bombing.
Yeah, but do you condemn the IRA bombing?
I'm against all bombing.
Is there a problem with race and religion involved in this?
It's just child sexual abuse.
No, no, there are specific things going on.
But anyway, so in there she also just engages in such denialism as calling people from Sarah Champion to Jack Straw a liar.
So, I mean, what are you expecting?
And in case you're not convinced and you think I'm just being salty or something, you just go to her Twitter account because I love how leftists just leave their activism on Twitter.
She's a leftist activist.
What is it?
GB News wants to set up themselves and tell news that's not a left-wing.
And in response, she helps stop funding hate here at a leftist organisation to try and get rid of their funding, because how dare they blaspheme?
So, you know, not just me.
So they continue in here.
In December of that year, a further report by the Home Office was released that showed the majority of CSE gangs were in fact composed of white men.
A complete misrepresentation.
If you go to the report, we've covered this previously.
The strengths in there is most of the same studies show that majority of offenders are white.
Majority of offenders, not the overwhelming majority or even proportionate.
Because again, Britain is like 80-90% white or whatever it is.
And this is also with them caveating as you go through it that they have no confidence in their data.
And all the studies that they do list actually have Asians massively overrepresented from the 6 or so percent that they make up in Britain.
So did this actually...
Really focus on the groups then?
Because I imagine if they looked at the data nationwide and individual cases, then maybe they could come to that conclusion.
But in the group-based thing, I would definitely imagine that there would be certain groups that would be overrepresented there.
I don't understand how they could ever come to that conclusion.
So in the report, their perspective on this is just they've got terrible data.
A lot of the files are missing characteristics of what the race or ethnicity of the perpetrators are, and a bunch of them just are very small and all the rest of it.
You can read the thing in your own time, but essentially they say...
We don't even know, but we say that the majority of offenders are white, and it's like, okay, sure, but Asians make up 6% of the population.
If they make up 30% of the convicted, as one of the studies lists, that's a massive over-representation.
That's not small.
I mean, 6% of the population, 30% of the child rapes.
It's not tiny at all.
So, they continue, writing in The Guardian, Cockbane and Tufil also wrote a report that the two-year study by the Home Office was a very clear grounds that there was no grounds for asserting that Muslim or Pakistani heritage men are disproportionately engaged in such crimes, citing our research and confirms the unreliability of the Quilliam claim.
What we're going to do is we're just going to go through the cases.
You tell me whether or not this is the case, or whether or not these people, their research, because their research doesn't line up with what's happening on the ground, essentially.
That's the question we're going to look at.
So if we go back, I mean, this is the first case that made it big.
So this is, what is it, Yorkshire Times reporting on the chances to protect vulnerable girl from evil sex galling Halifax was missed.
This was missed after an inquiry into what went wrong.
So this youngster, who's known as Janet in the report, fake name, was drugged and raped by a gang from the ages of 12 to 15.
A probe into the vulnerable girl and how she was raped and abused by more than 100 men found chances to stop the gang, but they were missed by the social services and the police.
I mean, we've known this story for a long time.
And eventually they ended up jailing the people involved.
So if we go to the next link here...
You can see, this is 2016.
These are the guys who were jailed.
It was 25 people who were charged, and then they went through the trial, and they ended up jailing, I would think it was 15, for sexual crimes, and the other two for, I think it was providing drugs, because they were drugging her.
I mean, it's okay.
You can see where Quilliam were getting their suspicions from, and if you can scroll down to the names.
Sorry, you were going to say something?
Yeah, no worries, carry on.
It's fine.
So if you can keep going, the names are in the bottom, because of course they are the defendants.
I mean, Hadar Ali, Hadar Ali, Khalid Zaman, Mohammed Razman, Harris Ahmed, Tamir Mahood, Takir Bhatt, Ammar Ali Ditta, Azad Subhani, Talid Sadiq, Sadiqa Malik, Mohammed Ali Ahmed, Aftar Hussein, Mansour Akhtar, Sikinda Ikat, Fazl Mahmood, Raqwan Ghaffar, All traditional British names there.
Yeah.
So they launched appeals, because, I mean, they believe they didn't do nothing, and of course the appeals failed, so we'll get to the next link.
This just...
No, there should be one of them failing, but don't worry about it.
They did their appeals.
Hadda Ali, Hadda Ali, Qazeed Zamban, Mohammed Razman, Tahir Mahmood, and Takiyah Bhatt.
All of them failed, because they are guilty.
They are just child rapists, so...
Get stuffed.
Like, they all went to prison, which is nice, but it's like, this is the problem, as has been demonstrated, which is there were multiple instances to help, they didn't, and as a result, the justice was delayed years, and people suffered.
So if you go to the next one as well, this is the same year, 20 more men were arrested in the same area for being involved in this kind of grooming, and then in 2019, nine of them were convicted.
So if we go to there, we can look at these guys again.
Bradford Grooming, nine jailed for abusing girls.
The girls were age 14 when they first met these men and they began by using drink, drugs and violence to groom and sexually exploit them.
It's the same story again, isn't it?
Kieran Harris.
Kieran Harris.
There we are.
There's an English name.
Azir Hussein.
Probably not.
But there you go.
That's something.
And it's obvious why Quilliam, looking at the public data, would come to that conclusion.
But don't worry, Ella Cockbain's got her own research.
So the same year there was more of this.
So if you go to this one, this is a police officer, Amajita, who was charged in another group of people, 16 men who were charged with being involved in sexual crimes against children aged between 13 and 16 in exactly the same area.
He's a police officer.
He was a police officer and he was charged with sexual touching.
So he was molesting a girl, by the sounds of it.
How the hell did they not figure out that, you know, police officer, you'd think background checks and I imagine his position as well probably allowed him to get away with it longer than it would a normal person.
I mean, that's how deep the problem is.
If even the police officers are in there.
So they're saying here 16 men have been charged with sex offences against 13 and 16 year olds.
West Yorkshire Police Ajit Ditta, also known as Abjib Hussein, was charged with sexual touching.
He and 15 other men are charged with offences against three girls in the Halifax area, dated from 2006 to 2009.
I mean, again, it's, you know, different periods.
If we can scroll down, I think we have the names there as well.
So, Vakit Abbas, Nadim Alet, Sajid Alet, Vaseem Adlet, Ahmed Ditta, Christopher Eastwood, there we go, Methlid Islam, Mohammed Rizwan, Ishtiq Lafter, Asid Mahmood, Afar Mir, Yunus Muhammad, Afar Mir, Yunus Muhammad, Nadim Nasir, Shaqeed Nawaz, Shasad Nazir, Sohail Zafar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So let's go to the videos, because this cop, he's actually a bit of...
He's not a nobody.
He's not some desk jockey, in which he's just some guy who works in the police force.
This was the poster boy for diversity and inclusion within this area, it seems.
He would go to mosques and try and recruit more Muslim men into the police force for the sake of diversity and inclusion.
And this was, you know, so much of a success that this news made it all the way to Pakistan.
Let's play.
And, on top of that, did they give me a fast car to drive?
Did they give me a gun?
Yeah.
And a uniform.
So that's another reason why I wanted to be a police officer.
But then now, in 2017, there's a few more black biology ethics who have joined.
But again, there's not enough.
Police force joined and they said...
Hey, big deal.
Poster boy.
Poster boy for modern Britain, diversity and inclusion.
But there's also some other sick stuff.
They used to send him to schools.
And in the schools he would try and recruit community cohesion or whatever and what police should do.
This is evidence of it.
He went to schools and interacted with kids.
And he's just sick.
I mean, that's the level of integration within the society there.
He's not a nobody at all.
He was the poster boy for diversity and inclusion within the Force, and then, you know, going out with community occasion there.
And in case you're wondering, the trial of him and the other sick, I can't swear, but if you could scroll up as well a little bit there.
It's still ongoing.
So, it had to be Eid, didn't it?
Like, look at the top there.
Scroll back up.
I want to show you the Yorkshire thing.
Yorkshire Live.
Happy Eid.
What a juxtaposition there.
Yeah, great timing.
Anyway, so trial of police officer and 15 others accused of child sexual abuse has been delayed by a year, so that'll be this year that they get tried, and we'll see whether or not they're guilty, I guess.
But the reason that this is a story, and I wanted to go over all this, is because yesterday, yesterday more people were charged.
29 men.
29 men were charged with the same thing.
Child sexual exploitation.
Men.
Just men.
Yeah.
The offences are said to have taken place in Bradford and Caldera between 2003 and 2010, where the victims were aged between 13 and 20 now, because they've grown up.
And again, those charged: Azad Ali, Abdulazid, Mohammed Jangir, Mohammed Asif, Harris Ahmed Bhatt, Takir Bhatt, Musamid Khan, Mohammed Hamza, Mohsin Mir, Javed Mir, Harun Sadiq, Hazar Ibqo, Harun Sadiq, Hazar Ibqo, Sarif Rabharaz, Maj Adalet, Sajid Adalet, Nazim Hussein,
Nadim Sadiq, I'm going to give up.
I mean, look at it.
Look at it.
And in this one, this isn't just sexual exploitation or providing drugs.
You can see that.
Two counts of rape.
Five counts of rape.
Two counts of rape.
These are all rapists they've been charged with.
A whole 30 people as well.
All 29 of them, one girl.
That's awful.
You couldn't think of anything worse, could you?
No.
I don't understand how this can carry on going on under people's noses because something of this scale, it's not going to be unnoticed.
There's got to be more people that are involved in this beyond these 29 people, right?
It's appalling.
I mean, as you've seen, I mean, we've got the other nine who were convicted in 2019, you've got 16, 17 who were convicted in 2016, plus the lots of people who got off the, you know, endless number of people who suspected that they couldn't provide enough evidence to charge them, because that's the thing as well, it's the Crown Prosecution Service who has to find the evidence and then charge them.
And in this case, I spoke to someone who is a victim of grooming gangs, and she said, at least it's a good sign here that we can see that they're being charged with rape, you know, the lot of these people, because then they can say, we've got the evidence to get these people.
You know, that's what the Crown Prosecution Service will be displaying with the fact that they've charged them all there.
So, I mean, that's good.
That's the only silver lining for this.
At least these people are being charged.
There's 29 guys are being charged there.
And, yeah, a lot of white names.
Sure, the SMP would be like, white.
Zahmet Ali, white.
Yeah, no, not white.
Let's not mess around.
So you go to Halifax.
This is the area in which gets linked, because again, Halifax, sex scandal.
If you can scroll down on the right side, just so you can see the demographics of the area.
This is the demographics from 2010.
Keep going.
And you can see ethnic group and religion there.
So ethnic group, Asian, makes up about 16%.
Same with religion there being about 16%.
16% of the local population...
What percentage of the local child abusers?
Pretty high.
Like, it's a community problem.
There's no soft way to put this whatsoever.
And I wanted to tie this back in with the...
So, Ella Hill, who has written for us on lotuses.com, who wrote an open letter to the UK government on our website.
And thank you for sending us out.
She was the one I confirmed with about the fact that it's at least good news that they're being charged.
And in here, you should go read it in your own time if you haven't, but I'm going to read some bits of it here because she raised some great points.
So she says, I'm a grooming gang survivor and a Christian.
I represent people who have experienced anti-white hate crime and anti-lack of belief hate crime, or a combination of the both.
My reason for writing is to again ask that the Home Office and the government act to ensure that all ministers of the Crown Public Authorities act to carry out their public sector equality duty under the Equality Act of 2010, Section 149.
To, quote, have due regard for the need to achieve the objective and eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimization, end quote.
Of grooming gang victims on the ground of race and religion.
Because, I mean, this is the thing that she brings up that I don't ever see discussed around this issue, at least not enough, which is that these guys, whenever you read the court documents and whenever you need the accounts, I mean, she went on Panorama and spoke about some of the stuff that happened to her.
They would call her, you know, white S. They would call her effing gaudy, which is like the Pakistani word for white S. And it's obviously racial and religious abuse.
I mean, effing kafir, you know, non-believer, as they abuse you.
So the idea that this isn't a hate crime, nonsense.
In which case, then, they should be charged, as any white person would if they engaged in hate crimes in this country, with hate crimes.
Their sentences shouldn't just be the standard, here's a rape.
No, throw on the hate crime thing.
But give them an extra few years or whatever it is that the system does if you are charged with that.
And the fact that it's anti-white, anti-western, so on and so forth, I mean, that is exactly true.
It's something that isn't thought about a lot.
So she also, I don't know if we can get the first image up, which is just, like, if you want to apply intersectional theory to it as well, leftists who are denying that any of this is going on, like, this is something she sent me, which is just a grooming gang crime.
It's racially and religious aggravated rape.
It is a type of intersectional identity-based violence, attacking your race, religion, or lack of religion, and sexual identity.
Under the Equality Act, that is the standard.
You know, effing kaffir.
You know, effing non-believer.
Okay, well, lack of religion is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.
Therefore, that's a hate crime.
White S, that's a hate crime, that's racially motivated.
And to argue, as I've seen so many denialists try and argue, that there is no racial aspect to any of this, there is no religious aspect or lack of religious aspect to this.
Nonsense.
Absolute nonsense.
And the kind of people who argue that thing should be ashamed of themselves.
And it's another day in which you just get another list of guys.
I mean, not many Mr.
Smiths among them.
I just can't get over it.
It just never ends.
I wanted to mention it because I didn't want it to just go under the radar, because it's not right.
It's certainly not a very pleasant topic, but it is really important to talk about, and I think part of the reason that people don't talk about it is because it's such a horrendous thing, and it is important to talk about these things and cover them, because...
More often than not, particularly you can see in the BBC reporting, they weren't really talking about it in the manner which is accurate to the way things actually transpired.
They would just say they were men, as you said, and they wouldn't mention the fact that their backgrounds were all very similar, in that they were clearly Muslim and it was a kind of hate crime, as you said, in that it's quite often white victims that were targeted.
Yeah, I mean, explicitly calling them, you know, racially abusing them.
I've seen, so, the Times, Andrew Norfolk being the one who gets a lot of credit for bringing this to a national standard, you know, in national press, because the class who runs this country are too squeamish about this sort of thing to even talk about it.
Which is that he was the one who brought this all up, and therefore he gets due credit for being the guy who's exposing that.
And Ella Cockbane in her research just refers to him as right-wing tabloid nonsense, and I'm just like, right, you people are scum.
You people are absolutely awful.
If you're going to write that sort of thing, in response to the evidence on the ground, they're like, no, but my academic research says there's no such thing.
I was like...
Shut up.
Shut up.
It just does not mesh with what's happening on the ground.
You are the one.
If you're in opposition to the reality, then you're wrong.
Like, I don't care how many whimsical ways you can argue yourself in turns to say that nothing's happening.
You're just a grooming gang denialist.
Yeah, black pills.
Every day, a black pill.
I mean, 100% agree with what you've said, and the fact that people are brushing it under the rug or avoiding talking about it is part of the reason why this kind of thing carries on.
And people need to be able to talk about this sort of thing, because it's the only way we're going to be able to stop it going on.
And I think part of that is acknowledging the common background that all of these people had.
And I think that gets swept under the rug, particularly by the news reporting, which is how most people are going to find out about this.
And it's just appalling.
Yeah, I mean, there's not much more to be said.
You know, I don't want to run on.
But anyway, let's go to your segment in which we're going to be talking about Joe Biden.
So why are the gas prices going up so much?
Well, there's a multitude of reasons.
But at first, before the pipeline stuff, which I'm going to be talking about later, obviously, it's been in the news quite a lot that there's been a hack of a pipeline along the east coast of the United States.
But even before that happened, the gas prices had kind of doubled almost in many places.
And I'd like to talk about why that's happened.
And I think it's because of Joe Biden's policies, more or less.
So as I reported on when Joe Biden was sworn into office, he had like an unprecedented number of executive orders.
I think it was the most ever.
And I think it's close to 30 in his first week, which is just absurd.
Like there's Completely unheard of.
I think Trump did about 12 and everyone was complaining how it's like dictatorial.
And then Biden outdid him even more.
And one of these executive orders, which he passed on day one, so his first day in office, is the protecting public health and environment and restoring science to tackle the climate crisis.
Bit of a loaded title there.
But what it more or less did was made the US rejoin the Paris Climate Accords and it also revokes a permit for construction of the Keystone Pipeline.
And another thing that he also did was that he halted new oil and gas leases on federal lands.
So this prevented further kind of fossil fuel development in the United States and Of course, Trump's policies ended up with the United States being, in December 2018, a net exporter of oil for the very first time in 75 years.
And that is huge for the United States.
Energy independence.
Yeah.
The holy grail.
They don't need to resort on foreign oil anymore.
And everyone kind of says, oh, another American war.
They must be looking for oil.
And, you know, it ended that dependence on Middle Eastern oil for the first time.
Which happily coincided with peace in the Middle East.
Yeah, it's strange that.
And I mean, that's not to be downplayed either, because, of course, there's lots of things going on at the minute, not necessarily to suggest that the US is...
He's responsible for all of it, but Trump got nominated for, what, three Nobel Peace Prizes?
I think there'll be four or five by the end of it.
I mean, I lost track.
Who's counting?
But yeah.
So then Biden comes in and he maybe does the executive orders get rid of...
Get rid of all of this good stuff.
And if we could go to the video of Trump, he actually warned us about this.
And gas prices.
You like that $2 gas, right?
How about $5, $6, and $7?
Darling, let's sell the car.
It's a little bit too large.
Let's get a compact.
Biden's plan is an economic death sentence.
I mean, he's spot on.
The prophet speaks.
Yeah, and that's exactly what has happened.
So this time last year, the average regular gas was, according to AAA gas prices, it was $1.85 across the United States as an average.
And at the minute, it is $3.01 per gallon.
That's almost doubled under Biden in just one year.
And there's no suggestion that it's going to get any better either.
So we're seeing the direct ramifications of his energy policies right now.
Doubling of the gas price.
Yeah.
And a six cent raise from this pipeline is not the big picture.
Yeah, so the ransomware attack on this pipeline did, as you said, only increase the price of gas per the gallon by six cents, which is tiny.
That's like 25 Joe Bidens.
So you can carry out...
The pipeline is 25th of a Joe Biden.
Yes.
So Joe Biden's like 25 terrorist attacks.
You can shut down 25 US pipelines before it has the same effect as Joe Biden.
It's unbelievable how anyone could tolerate this.
This is ridiculous.
And I'd like to make the point that to anyone who thinks, oh, it's pointless voting, because I know there's people out there, this is a very tangible thing that has an effect on your life, an effect on everyone's lives, because it puts up...
The cost of production of goods and services, which everyone is dependent on.
So this is kind of unquestionably bad, no matter how much, however you want to spin it, it's terrible.
And supposedly, with this pipeline closed, it's only a further three cents increase per gallon from potentially something that has affected the entire east coast of the United States.
So that really puts it into perspective that The fact that Joe Biden has had such a massive impact on that.
And sure, maybe coronavirus has had some kind of impact with the lockdowns and the production may be going down.
But then at the same time, if the demand for fuel drops, that normally means that the price drops as well, not doubles.
So that argument doesn't really hold much water with me at least.
So, there's also the fact that inflation is coming in, so the real-term cost of fuel is going to go up, and I'd like to talk about this tweet, which is just ridiculous to me.
So, of course you know that the US was printing money like an unprecedented level.
I don't want to say the meme, but...
You know the one I mean.
The US Federal Reserve's vice chairman, Richard Clarida, said, we were surprised by higher than expected inflation data.
I mean, what a ridiculous thing to say.
Like, we printed and unprecedented about money, and we were surprised by the inflation.
Oh, wow.
I suppose a charitable interpretation, it could be like, well, we're expecting X% and we got X plus 1 or something, but it's like when you were literally becoming Printer Go Burr IRL, it wasn't just a meme, it was real.
I mean, giving everyone checks en masse.
If you actually look at the US money supply in a graph, it's kind of just this steady, slow incline and there's just this vertical line.
It's completely absurd.
And of course this is going to make the real cost of gasoline even more expensive on top of the actual monetary price as well.
so it's only going to get worse as far as i'm uh concerned so i actually want to talk about the pipeline that was targeted known as the uh colonial pipeline which is a bit unfortunate so um i mean they are the 13 colonies yeah i mean it does make sense like it's along the east coast right so um as you can see on the screen here it stretches all the way from houston texas all all the way up to Linden in New Jersey.
So it's from one end of the United States to the other.
It's not exactly a small pipeline, which kind of further emphasises the fact that this being taken out had such a tiny effect on the gas prices compared to Joe Biden.
But it's 5,550 miles, and supposedly it carries between, I think that's Two and a half million barrels a day, not litres.
So it's barrels.
So it's a significant number as well, and that represents about 45% of the East Coast's diesel, petrol and jet fuel supply.
So it's certainly not a small amount.
So, the Senator for Ohio, Rob Portman, said that this is potentially the most substantial and damaging attack on US infrastructure in the history of the United States.
And yet, again, I'd like to make this point, one Joe Biden is 25 times worse.
I mean, measurably different.
Yeah.
Measurably worse.
Yeah.
It really puts it into perspective because when you look at data, it's difficult to get your head around it a little bit.
But me being the kind of data scientist, I'm more than happy to go through boring amounts of data.
And I think having this analogy that 1J Biden, 25 times worse, I mean, it quantifies it nicely.
Like Trump, if you're listening, something to put on the desk.
Yeah.
Trump, if you're listening, I'm always available if you need to call me.
So, the group that actually carried out the ransomware attack is known as Darkside, and they're supposedly...
Probably the good guys.
I don't know about that.
So what do they want?
So they're a Russian-based ransomware group that...
It had to be the goddamn Russians, didn't it?
Yeah.
Sorry.
They have actually claimed it for themselves, so we know that it is probably this Russian group.
It's not just, you know, Joe saying, oh, it was the Russians.
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, they have admitted to it, but we have no reason to believe it's actually connected with the Russian state.
And Joe has said just as much, and we know that he loves to blame Russia for everything that goes wrong, but in this case it doesn't seem to be...
Even Joe's not even blaming them, so...
Fair enough.
And they say about themselves, we are apolitical, we do not participate in geopolitics, do not need to tie us with a defined government and look for our motives.
They more or less say, our goal is to make money and not create problems for society, From today we introduce moderation and check each company that our partners want to encrypt to avoid social consequences in the future.
So they're saying that they didn't actually mean to cause as much disruption in the United States.
They're almost apologising.
But what do they want?
It's just a way of making money.
Is it like, we're going to ransom the pipeline?
They shut down the pipeline.
Like I said, we have access.
And what they do is...
What they do is they hold all the data, or the key, or hold control of it until they get money paid.
And if they don't pay, they release all the data and kind of have this wall of shame on their website where they say, these are the companies that didn't pay us, whereas the companies...
That do pay up can retain their anonymity and therefore their share price doesn't plummet and they don't get kind of held accountable in the media.
So it's a bit of a racket at the same time.
Yeah, I mean, because of criminals.
Yeah, but even the companies that are victimised are like, well, we would rather keep it out of the media than let justice be done.
And therefore we pay.
So they kind of understand how these corporate minds work, because they're saying, we will damage your reputation.
And that is more of the threat, often than not, in that they're just like, well, we know you can kind of take the limitations to the pipeline for a while, but if we damage your reputation, that's going to have much longer lasting consequences than otherwise.
Yeah.
So, if we actually look at the site itself, they have a code of ethics, which is a bit strange for a ransomware group.
Even pirates had rules?
Yeah, well, apparently they do.
They say, based on our principles, we will not attack the following targets.
medicine, only hospitals, any palliative care organisation, nursing homes, companies that develop and participate to a large extent in the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, funeral services, morgues, crematoria, funeral homes, education, schools and universities, non-profit organisations or government sectors. schools and universities, non-profit organisations or government sectors.
So it's very strange that these criminals are so choosy.
I've got a code.
They're sticking to it.
Alright.
That's kind of cute.
So yeah, and they outline here what they do.
They say, we guarantee that you get a decrypted file to show that we have the software to do it.
If you refuse to pay, we will publish all your data and store it on our Tor CDNs for at least six months.
We will send notifications of your leak to the media and your partners and customers, and we will never provide you decryptors.
But supposedly, they've actually kept a lot of their promises.
I've read about all of their hacks, and there have been very extensive hacks across the United States and Europe.
And they've largely gone unreported because they haven't had this effect.
And more often than not, the companies pay up and it kind of goes under the radar and no one really knows about it except maybe the police and the intelligence services.
And that's why this is the first case where this group has actually caused But just recently, there have been three attacks since this pipeline one.
One of them was some Scottish building firm, another one in the US, and there was another one.
And it seems like they're doing them almost daily.
And I looked at a graph from a cyber security firm, and it just was this huge peak.
And then around Christmas time, there's just this huge drop.
They gave themselves a break.
Which I thought was quite funny.
They were just like, yeah, we're not gonna hack anyone over Christmas.
We're gonna take a month off.
Which was pretty unusual.
So, there's also a bizarre thing, that they've donated a lot of money to charity.
I don't really know how that ties in with their theft, but they seem to be targeting companies...
Really polite e-mobster?
We're not going to target any critical infrastructure, but we'll donate some of the money to charity, at least.
So...
They have said, you know, that we're trying to be as ethical about this as possible, and they've donated $10,000 to Children.org, which is a children's education charity, and $10,000 to The Water Project, which...
Gives clean drinking water to children in Africa.
So it's not like they're being completely...
I don't want to say uncharitable, because that's terrible.
They're not being complete thugs about it.
Yeah.
We're doing bad stuff, but we're at least going to try and reallocate this money.
And they supposedly target...
They're still thugs, don't get me wrong.
Yeah, it's a terrible thing.
But at least they're going about it with a little bit more class than your average criminal.
Supposedly, they also harvest data on the companies that they're going to target.
And they figure out the capacity to pay...
And I remember reading about a company that actually had far less assets than they originally estimated, and they lowered the ransom by up to two-thirds because they realised in the negotiations, oh, we don't actually have the ability to pay.
And then the people, the group that was trying to get the ransom was like, okay, fair enough.
Well, we'll reduce it by two-thirds, which I suppose it's better to get something than nothing.
But even so, it seems like they can be reasoned with.
And also, they've stuck to their word with all of their pledges on their website, which is unusual.
But it seems to be that there's some kind of hacking industry coming in.
I don't know how else I can really put it, but there are lots of different hacking groups that have been conducting ransomware attacks on lots of different things of infrastructure.
If you remember, there was the one on the US, not on the US, on the NHS, sorry, where they held loads of patients' data to ransom if the NHS wouldn't pay up, and it's obviously very awful in that case, but with the corporations, at least they're trying to target things that aren't necessarily essential to people's lives, and also that means testing the ability to pay.
So, the media reaction to the actual pipeline shutdown initially was quite amusing, because they were just like, there's no fuel shortage, what were you on about?
And also, they also tried to frame it in the fact that there was no national shortage, because it was located on the east coast, so they were portraying it as if...
You know, there's no shortage across the country, so there's no problem, even though it was located on the East Coast.
It's not going to affect California, is it?
Because it's the other side of the United States.
So what a stupid thing to say.
I mean, technically they're not wrong, though.
As you said, I mean, it's not that this has made the country run out of gas necessarily, but the fact that the price is going up is Joe Biden.
In which case, the pipeline hasn't made the country run out of gas.
Don't worry, it's just Joe Biden, folks.
It's just what he does.
So, some stations were actually running out of gas entirely, and there was an article saying that some stations are running out of gas, but there's plenty of gas to go around.
Don't be worried.
There were people queuing up for hours on end to get gasoline, and stations were completely running out, but they're like, no, no, don't worry, there's plenty left.
And it just seems very propaganda-y, almost, in that they're saying, oh, never mind what you see with your very eyes, that you can't get gasoline, but we've got plenty, it's fine.
And it just seemed a bit ridiculous.
So supposedly more than 7% of petroleum stations in Virginia had ran out entirely, 5% in North Carolina by Tuesday, and the demand has also jumped by about 20% supposedly.
So of course there is some degree of panic buying here that's exacerbating the situation, because of course 20% is not a negligible amount, but even so the limitations are there.
And to kind of go to the extent of how ridiculous this is, they were reporting that there was no shortage.
Even CNBC recognised that there was.
So they say, spot gas shortages could worsen if Colonial Pipeline doesn't reopen by the weekend.
But I believe that it has actually reopened relatively recently, and I think it's got a week left before it comes back online again.
But then it should be back to normal.
So I don't think there's any necessary need to panic buy, at least.
But I don't think people were unreasonably concerned that there may be a shortage, because they didn't know how long these negotiations would go on With this hacking group, they didn't know whether they would actually give them access again.
So the uncertainty was warranted.
So I'd like to kind of end here with a video of some of the long queues and the confrontations that resulted, I suppose.
Oh?
You don't have the video on that.
Oh, I don't have the video?
Never mind.
Well, if you go to the article, fuel shortages in the US enters sixth day with long queues, there's some people essentially having a fist fight.
Just over gasoline.
Just because...
Toilet paper.
It's just absurd.
But as you said, it's not going to affect the price now that it's back online.
The circumstances that have made it double in price are just still there, and there's no reason they won't get worse.
Yeah.
So my main points here for mentioning it is that Joe Biden's policies have had far more of an effect than this closing of a pipeline.
And I'd also like to highlight the fact that these groups, these ransomware groups, are making a killing at the minute and I don't think there's any sign of stopping because no one's really able to do anything and companies are more than willing to pay up.
So I think this is going to be something that's going to happen on into the future.
Alrighty.
So I want to talk about the Conservative Party's new anti-woke manifesto.
So this is something I was not expecting.
A friend of mine said, he was also joking, just like, hey, did you guys write this or something?
Because the proposals they have inside the manifesto are essentially the kind of things you would see Carl come out with.
I mean, a few of them actually are just policies Carl has been trumpeting for quite a while, like the cap on immigration.
But...
It's good stuff.
So the spectator did a list of what this is.
So we can go to the spectator article.
They say, Tories unveil anti-woke manifesto.
So the Queen's speech yesterday may have seen the government's fairly dry vision of modern Britain, but the group of conservative backbenchers and peers have now banded together to propose their own alternative.
Cracking down on immigration, breaking up the BBC, and taking aim at woke policing are all proposed in the new Common Sense group of around 50 Tory parliamentarians.
Titled Conservative Thinking for a Post-Liberal Age, it takes aim at the Equality Act, the Supreme Court, British Broadcasters, and Extinction Rebellion, proposing a much tougher line on the forces of wokeism and its practitioners.
Yes.
Gold.
I mean, actual...
I thought we'd get back to bullying the Tories if they weren't Conservative, but I mean, nope, nope, just a common sense group.
They're almost taking the fun out of it, aren't they?
I was looking forward to bullying the Tories, and now they're saying everything that we've been saying.
This isn't fair.
But this is the Conservative sense group here, so 50 Tory MPs, which, I mean, if any of them want to interview or want to promote this, I mean, absolutely, we'll do it.
This is great.
So they say in here, and it's just wonderful.
The group's chairman, Sir John Hayes, declares that the brattle of Britain has begun and guided by common sense of the people.
We must triumph for the common good.
Fellow member Gareth Bacon has written an essay saying that Britain is under attack from the woke ideology with no democratic mandate, but instead an intense hostility to Western civilization.
The policies to tackle this include definitive amendments to the 2010 Equality Act, tax incentives to encourage marriage, curbs on direct action protests.
So, I mean, people break into the law.
That's what that is.
And a requirement for state funded institutions to promote British values.
traditions, and history.
Yes.
It's about time.
Yeah, based, right?
If you're going to take money from the state, well, then you've got a duty.
You have to promote Britain.
It's that simple.
We have it down in law already, British values defined by the British state, because of the problems we had with terrorists.
And the government kind of S'd the bed and was like, hang on, we need to define what British values are.
Otherwise, how can we argue that the Islamists aren't us?
So what were they?
I can't remember from the top of my head, but it was like individualism, democracy, rule of law, you know, pretty basic stuff.
And it was like, yeah, okay, good.
In which case, if you are taking money from the state...
Do your duty.
Promote British values.
I find it funny how shortly after decimating the Labour Party in the local elections, they're just like, haha, look at this!
When is this before?
Bring it up before.
You would have got both votes.
So, some of the stuff in here.
So, Britain's top judges are also lambasted by veteran Edward Lay, who's a new MP for Sally Ann Hart, in the chapter on Judicial Activism, Undermining Democracy.
The pair describe the Supreme Court's ruling against Boris Johnson's prorogation of Parliament as a naked power grab, with no substantial legal or judicial jurisdiction.
Justification.
Sorry, long words.
Such a political act was a gamble in order to stop Brexit, something that the politicised justices lost with legislative reform of the Supreme Court needed to prevent this from happening again.
Yeah.
Yeah, there is.
But, I mean, most notably, I mean, this is Carl's stock rhetoric about the Supreme Court here, in which he's just like, just abolish it.
I mean, what was the point?
We didn't need it before Tony Blair.
Tony Blair brings it in.
Why do we need it now?
Like, it's literally Blairism.
Get rid of the whole thing.
And if they're going for, well, actually, these guys are essentially political activists, as demonstrated by them trying to stop Brexit.
Well, bye-bye.
You're not going to be judges anymore.
I know Blair has gone on a string of disavowing Blair, but has he actually disavowed the Supreme Court yet?
I know he's said loads of stuff about mass immigration, Islam not being compatible with British values.
He said devolution was a mistake.
He's the best opponent of Tony Blair.
They should just make a new department.
You've got the welfare department, the justice department, you've got the anti-Blairism department, or the committee on anti-Blairism activities, and make Tony Blair the chairman.
He's the expert, after all.
Just him going around like, I need to fix everything I've ever done wrong.
Just bring all the things that Tony Blair ever did.
There's five laws a day he brought in, and make him review each one, and then just be like, burn it, burn it, burn it.
Get rid of them all.
So, the section on media reform, co-authored between James Sunderland MP and Express journalist David Maddox, demands the breakup of the BBC. Yes!
The abolition of broadcast impartiality rules that big tech companies like Facebook be treated as publishers.
So get rid of the nonsense that bans Fox News for being in the UK, and also get rid of the protections the Silicon Valley types have.
Great, yeah.
I mean, this is exactly what we need.
They claim the pandemic has been a sultry lesson, with existing broadcasters seeing it as their role to promote pro-lockdown messages, with reform...
Sorry.
With reform strangling...
Sorry.
Strengthening.
With reform strengthening polarity of voices on freedom of speech against a, quote, quasi-Marxist movement of the liberal left.
Good guys.
What happened to the Tories?
Someone red-pilled the water supply in London.
It wasn't the Tory party I saw a few months ago, but good, good, good.
They have identified the problem.
They have identified the goddamn problem.
That's what you needed.
That's the first step.
And so they continue.
The police are not spared either, with Chris Loder and Tom Hunt calling for the end of woke culture and of middle management, infecting forces across the country.
Reforms include tackling the fear of conduct investigations, which means officers are wary of acting according to their instincts.
We know what that's about, first segment.
And that's with McPherson reports being accused of undermining effective policing.
The words of institutional racism are so terrifying because they attack the very foundation of policing by consent.
Perfect.
Perfect.
There is no institutional racism within the state that we can find.
Not in the government, not in the government's policies, not in how it works, except against white people, actually.
But we have a...
That's something they didn't look at, unfortunately.
But we have that on the website, in case you're wondering.
Statefundedracism.com.
But the institutional racism within the police force, not that.
Sorry, it's just not that.
Any investigation doesn't find it.
What you find are differences in action.
And differences in action, if they're of people who have free will, that's not racism.
It's just not.
I'm sorry, Marxist, you're just wrong.
I'm speechless at this.
Like, what's happened to the Tory party?
I know, right?
That became based overnight.
They absorbed the UKIP vote and became UKIP. Yeah, cool, cool.
If you take all the good stuff from UKIP, that's what you need.
I mean, if a party's got good stuff, take it.
On immigration, the Red Wall MP, Nick Fletcher, backs a cap of 100,000 people per year.
Perfect.
That's 1,000 too many.
But, no.
No.
I only said 1,000.
I didn't say 100,000.
But, we need a cap.
And there is nothing wrong with a cap.
I put this to Richard Tice.
Carl's mentioned it a lot.
What is the argument against it?
Because the government cannot be trusted.
I mean, they've proven this, especially the Conservative Party, over the last 10 odd years.
Multiple times, manifesto pledged, we will get it down to the net tens of thousands.
Failed every single year to do it.
In which case, it has to be a hard cap.
You can't be trusted to just determine it in your own time.
You have to have a hard cap in which it stops you from breaking your pledge.
What's the argument against it?
It's unpopular, why do you keep voting for it then?
You tell me.
He argues, it must be made known to ordinary working men and women that their neighbourhoods and their communities will not be treated as a dumping ground for anyone and everyone who wishes to come to the UK. True.
Based.
I'm sorry, I don't care how many unskilled workers there are in Pakistan, we're not going to send them all to some town and allow them to live there just because they want to.
Are they necessary?
Are they actually useful for the community?
Will it help the community?
Will it help the country?
Will it make more money?
There are a lot of questions that have to be asked, but will you just give them the visa?
And there doesn't seem to be.
There is not enough standards in place to make sure that the people who come here are useful for us.
us i mean the pure numbers as well i mean before we get into the specific different cultures of immigrant groups that comes to the uk i mean just the numbers alone are what need to be shut down and a hard cap would do that uh piers lord horam of lord harrington's proposed that all jobs be advertised in the uk along with a cap of the number of skilled workers allowed into the country and a suspension of the new entrant route which allows employers to bring young workers from a board earning over 20 000 sorry 20 480 pounds a year so this is basically just a loophole
he wants shut down which is cool And I'm going to skip over some of this, but he says...
It was, of course, nine years ago that a similar punchy book by newly elected members Britannia Unchanged made the names of the day's some leading Tory politicians.
Four of the work's co-authors, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Lid Truss, and Kwasi Kwan Teng, shoot me, I don't know how to say that, now sit around the cabinet table, having all co-founded the Free Enterprise Group together.
Will similar success greet the co-authors of the Common Sense book too?
God, I hope so.
Yes, this is great.
I didn't expect this whatsoever.
I was expecting to have to kick the Tories because they would become more complacent, but it actually seems like they've done the opposite.
Come on, Tories, score some effing goals!
These are the goals!
So, of course, the group formed a little while ago, but Ho's mad.
Ho's were always mad.
So, just some of the reporting at the time here.
Common Sense Group provides a veil for Tory culture wars.
Oh, no.
How dare the Tories ever do culture wars?
However, conservatives could do culture wars.
Culture wars are only for socialists, don't you know?
How dare the Tories enact their own policies?
That's awful.
That were voted for by the public.
So the next one here, the Morning Star, the socialist outlet.
Common sense or nonsense?
I just whine about this.
Whine, I love the whining.
But if you go to the manifesto itself, so we can go to the next one and see the common sense group.
Common sense.
I love that term as well.
I was really not keen on it until I joined UKIP and just saw it everywhere and I was like, yeah, you know what, yeah.
Common sense.
It's a phrase that everyone kind of understands but you can't really put into words.
I can't.
I'm not too fond of the term common sense because it just stands to mean whatever I believe most of the time.
But, I mean, I'm willing to forgo that if it includes all of this.
There's something about it where it's like, you know, let's import loads of people who have certain views on where the age of consent should be, for example.
And you go, that's not common sense.
I don't care where you're from, that's not common sense.
Fair enough, yeah.
So they say in here, so in the introduction, great sense, the battle of ideas has been drawn into sharp focus with the emergence of the extreme cultural and political groups Black Lives Matter, Extinction Rebellion, Kill the Bill et al.
Subversives, fuelled by ignorance and arrogance, sorry, fuelled by ignorance and arrogant determination to erase the past and dictate the future.
True summation of the problem, Sir John Hayes.
Good guy.
And there's one essay in here in particular.
So I mentioned the cap on immigration.
No argument.
Done.
The shutdown of the BBC. No argument to be had.
Done.
These things are long past their due date.
But there is an essay on here.
Because the whole thing is essentially a collection of essays by the MPs.
And there's one by Gareth Bacon MP that is What is Wokeness and How It Can Be Defeated?
And this one I took special interest in.
And I'm going to go through this.
I've had to shorten it, but I've got some criticisms, but a lot of it is true.
So he says...
The rise of the power, reach, and influence of social media has been influential in increasing the pace and spread of what is broadly left-wing, anti-British, anti-Western, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, and a domino phenomena is being witnessed as a succession of national institutions and organizations accept, seemingly without question or critical analysis, this new orthodoxy.
So, yep.
Absolutely.
That's true.
A truly woke society would be one in which the diversity of how one looks is celebrated, whereas the diversity of how one thinks is ruthlessly crushed.
Yes.
Yep, that's the problem.
This is a thoroughly unappealing worldview, and once the mask is ripped away and the true nature revealed, it will be seen as to be repellent.
You'd think so, but that is exactly what they want.
Making it clear to people that is what they're demanding is totally the right thing to do.
And applause to this guy for at least identifying the problem here, which is them.
The goddamn wokers who insist on race and gender socialism, and we'll get into that in a minute.
The way to rip the mask away will require both government action and courage.
Changes in the law will almost certainly be required.
For example, definitive amendments to the 2010 Equality Act, as will new laws guaranteeing freedom of speech.
So, free speech acts, amend the Equality Act to get rid of the communist nonsense that was put in there by the Blairites.
This is music to my ears.
Golden policies.
I mean, the two things I think are most needed in Britain to defend the culture that we have of Western liberalism.
Couldn't pick any more positive things to pick.
Absolutely right, Gareth Bacon.
Good lad.
So he finishes with, Conservative values present a far more appealing alternative.
Values of shared national identity, patriotism, family, faith, duty, freedom under the law, democracy, and personal responsibility are as relevant now as they have ever been.
Brexit and the Conservative landslide, especially the destruction of the Red Wall, he adds, in 2019, have emphatically demonstrated this.
Yes.
No one is voting for left-wing values.
Left-wing values are trash.
There is just nothing to be salvaged from them.
However, as he points out, these are some right-wing values that just cannot be left-wing.
So, patriotism, family, faith, duty.
I mean, duty.
Something can't be understood within a left-wing framework, in my opinion, except for the party.
So, freedom under the law, democracy, personal responsibility.
True, true.
Everyone keeps voting for him.
In which case, put him into law.
That's why you guys were put there for.
He's totally right.
That's the correct thing to do.
Although the one thing he does say that I find a bit eh, is he's laying this out for the rest of the Tory party.
So I don't know if this is...
I surely agree with this criticism.
Which is that he lists BLM, for example, and he says BLM don't just stand for black lives.
And it's sort of like...
Yeah, sort of past that avenue.
I don't know who hasn't figured that one out yet, but I guess half the Tory party still.
Yeah, I think they've got to be very careful with what they say about that sort of thing as well, because it's going to be one of those things where if you step a foot wrong, you're going to get hammered in the press, the left-wing press, that is, about it, and I think he's probably just trying to be...
There's no reason to be scared.
There's a reason you keep winning.
No one likes them.
They're awful.
Sorry, I'm interrupting, but...
No, no, do carry on.
Okay, so the one thing I wanted to go on to was the other criticism I have of this, which is after reading the whole essay, he doesn't really definitively and specifically define what woke is, and this is a problem you come across with most people, and through no fault of their own, it's really difficult for most people to define what woke is, you know, wokeism, all the rest of it, this ideological view.
And if most people had to, I mean, I couldn't off the top of my head normally.
But thankfully we have Ash Sarkar, who's come to save the day and define wokeness.
And when you define it as she defines it, you understand exactly what's wrong with it and why it should be put to the dustbin of history.
And in case you're wondering, Gareth, if you're watching, or anyone from the Common Sense group, go and check out this video, What is Woke Culture?
In which Carl explains in depth with his co-host Ash Sarkar there.
But I'm going to play the clip of Ash defining what woke culture is.
Let's play.
What precisely do you mean by woke?
What exactly do you mean here?
What is woke culture?
This is what no one has been able to explain to me.
What is woke culture?
To answer Ash Sarkar's totally honest question of what is woke culture, we now turn to respected television academic Ash Sarkar from later in that very same podcast.
Woke is accepting that LGBT identities are valid and should be protected under the law.
That woke culture is an acknowledgement that there are racialized outcomes reproduced through institutions and society and people of color measurably are treated differently.
What I want at an interpersonal level is understanding empathy and solidarity, and at a political level, I want the pursuit of redistributive goals, whether that's power, whether that's wealth, whether that's land, in order to pursue aims of social justice along class, gender and race lines.
There you go.
That's what you needed to put at the start of that essay, in my opinion, and you should do so going forward.
What does she want on a political level as being a wokeist?
She wants the redistribution of land, power, and wealth along race, class, and gender lines.
Redistribute power, wealth, and land along racial lines, then gender lines, and then class lines.
I mean, it's race, gender, and class socialism.
That's what it is, in a sentence.
Even Marx didn't go that far.
He just went for the class stuff.
The wokeists take that and go, yeah, that's valid for class groups, but also, what about racial groups and gender groups?
And then they want to redistribute everything along those lines.
That's wokeism, that's what's wrong with it.
Just say that to someone.
You know, I want race socialism.
Maybe they'll look at you with a befuddled look like, what is this lunatic?
I think it's so hard to define, because when you hear the word salad, your brain just switches off.
I think that's what happened to me.
She's just saying all these horrible terms, and it just didn't mean anything, and I kind of struggled to follow along with it.
Exactly.
So, boil it down, and what is she saying?
I want the redistribution of wealth, power, and land along racial and gender lines.
Race and gender socialism.
That's what she's arguing for.
That's if you wanted to find it in a single sentence.
That was the only thing missing from the essay.
Otherwise, fantastic.
Fantastic common sense group.
Great job.
Feels weird complimenting the Conservatives so much, but good job, guys.
I never thought I'd see this day, and especially so soon as well.
Good news, at least.
White pill!
Come on!
You feeling alright?
You're giving us good news.
Frowning at the start, smiling at the end.
All is well.
That's that.
Tell me what you think of it in the comments.
I want to hear what people think of that.
But it is 50 Conservative MPs, not, you know, how goddamn many, 300 or something?
I don't know at this point.
650 maybe by next year.
But that's exactly what they need to be doing.
I mean, that's the sort of start of something great, hopefully.
But let's go to the video comments.
Since nobody else has done it, I wanted to point out the hypocrisy of the A little phrase behind all of the left-wing speakers at the Labor Party, quote, for the many, not the few, end quote.
That is exactly the opposite of what they are.
Absolutely.
Totally true.
Except the one caveat I would say is for the many, not the Jew.
That's also a valid interpretation of what they're saying there.
No, because they're all anti-Semites.
Well, yeah.
I mean, they were waving the Palestinian flag, weren't they, at their party conference?
Previous conference.
Yeah.
They'll wave any flag as long as it's North Britain's.
Mostly Palestinian flags, as you say, though.
It's so weird their infatuation with Palestine.
It kind of creeps me out.
Just like, yeah, Hamas, they're such wonderful people.
But that's the thing, I don't really have a view on Israel-Palestine, but any group that is fetishizing Palestine and then won't fly the British flag, it's like, nah, you're sus.
But I mean, there's plenty of other anti-Semitism of the late party to speak about without having to go abroad.
Of course.
But yeah, they are awful.
They are absolutely awful.
Anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, go to the Lotus Eaters channel, not the podcast one.
We have another one if you go to the channel section of the account.
And you can check out the clip, you know, the four-minute clip of Labour Party Conference we put up.
Share it.
Share it with your Labour friends.
Make them defend it.
That's what I want to see.
And then send us the screenshots of them defending it.
I want to read it.
Anyway.
Hey, Ludus Eaters.
Recently, the UK has decided to lower the number of F-35s it's buying in favor of a new locally produced BAE Systems Tempest.
Is this a good decision or not?
The Tempest won't be available for another 15 years.
If that makes a difference, don't mind the fridge.
I didn't catch the stalk.
What was it?
So it's about the UK buying less F-35, I think it was.
I'm certainly no expert on this.
It's supposedly domestically produced, but it's also not available for the next 15 years.
So I don't know enough about it to know whether that's good or not.
It sounds slightly alarming that we're buying less and we're delaying it for 15 years, but maybe we've already got a large stockpile.
I just don't know enough to answer it, really.
Yeah.
I mean, I just, I imagine buying from Britain is better than buying from a board if you can help it, especially if it's a key industry like the military.
Yeah.
We had a long history of war and some great companies that make some great stuff.
So, I mean, why not support them?
I mean, we've got loads of aviation companies in the UK that are world renowned.
Why not use those?
I see nothing wrong with that.
But as I said, I certainly know nothing about this sort of thing.
So, move on to some comments.
Sorry, I was just thinking about whether or not it's a good thing, but I don't really know either.
It just may be good.
Sorry, it's kind of a lackluster answer.
I feel guilty you've said in the video, and I'm just like, eh.
I would like to know more, but I'm afraid military airplanes are not my expertise.
So...
The comments, White Hot Pepper Army.
I have an update about the food given to the NG in DC. As most of you know, the food we were given was beyond the pale with how horrible it was.
Raw chicken, raw beef, metal shavings, worms, mould, rocks, and other things were found in our food.
Everyone that ate the food provided for us got sick in one way or another.
Quite a few of us ended up in the hospital.
Most of us had to take a day off guarding the capital from food poisoning.
as it was, it gets even worse.
All the food that was given to us was paid for out of each soldier's paycheck and they took $15 out per meal and we had three meals a day.
Whether you ate it or not was up to you, but the money was still taken out from your pay.
So let's do some math.
$15 per meal, three meals a day.
That's $75 for food per soldier.
That's 5,000 soldiers that are in DC for two months.
75 times 5,000 equals 375,000 per day and about 22.5 million for the whole trip.
I'm not even going to attempt to figure out what happened with the 25,000 guards pay during the inauguration.
Now I did some digging and it turns out that the army was only being charged $5 per meal by the catering company, but $15 per meal was still being taken out for food.
So my question is, where is the $18 million taken from us and not used for anything else?
That is a really good question.
I didn't even realise it was going on.
For people who don't know, White Hot Peppers is our roving reporter from the Capitol.
So she was part of the National Guard that went down to defend Joe Biden.
And, you know, was just reporting some of the updates there.
And the food she sent us, as she said, I mean, raw worms.
Horrible.
I mean, the most basic things.
Feed the army.
Can't even do that.
But then, not even that.
Steal from you at the same time.
I mean, I was surprised they even charged you at all.
I mean, why would they charge the recruits to feed the recruits?
It's just weird, but...
Yeah, if you're at work.
But then to steal even more from them, you know, buying them for $5 and pocketing the ten.
They could have just said, okay, you need to get your own food from around the city.
I suppose it was lockdown, wasn't it?
Yeah, we could still go buy a pizza.
It'd be better than rotten food.
Yeah, I'm sure $15 could go a lot further than rotten food.
I think you can buy something better.
Yeah, I'd like to know too.
I have no idea how we'd find out.
I guess a Freedom of Information request or something like that in the US? I don't know what the equivalent is.
I don't know.
They'd probably just blacklist the whole thing anyway, wouldn't they?
But that's absolutely scummy.
But thank you for telling us.
Yeah, thanks for telling us.
That was really interesting.
So, Matthew Hammond.
How can the British people not rise up and demand justice for the victims of the grooming gangs?
What are you going to do?
Yeah.
I mean...
It's one of those things where I'm just like, I don't even know what to do anymore.
It's just mind-numbingly sad that there's so little political action.
Because on the political side, you see people trying to do stuff and endlessly they just get shouted down.
It's by the press.
If there's one thing you can blame political correctness for, it's this problem and its continued existence.
The police officers literally tell you, because of political correctness, I did not interfere, I did not want to be called racist.
Social workers, exactly the same thing.
I've seen an interview with one social worker, she did digging, and then someone went into a file and destroyed everything she had in the files.
Horrible, I'll have to show you afterwards.
She's from the home office.
They destroyed her file.
Surely that's illegal.
Yes.
They did it anyway?
Yeah.
There's just overwhelming evidence that this is a national shame, and it is a fault of the politically correct left.
And that's why I find the denialism so disgusting from leftist folks who try and write academic papers brushing everything away.
It's like, no, you know you did this.
Your ideology did this.
This is the crime.
You have to own it.
I think two things you can do, on a bit of a more positive note, is that write to your MP. That's always something that...
It's already been done.
I know it's been done, but it never hurts to do more of it.
Like, make them aware that people feel passionate.
They know.
That's the thing.
Everyone knows.
It's the paralyzation of just not really being able to do...
I mean, what do you even do?
I mean, put you in the Home Office.
Just make you in charge of the Home Office.
What do you do?
Because if you can be the most radical person in the Home Office and you can't get those orders to the front line, too bad.
You've done nothing.
You know, pointless.
The only silver lining I can take is at least we're sealing the convictions now.
I mean, those, you know, 29 men all charged with rape.
I mean, they've got the evidence charged with rape, in which case, you know, a lot of them are going to go to jail.
Good.
Okay, at least we're seeing the progression there.
I mean, again, if the Labour Party had won instead and they continued their march of wokeness, no one would be charged.
I think if writing a letter doesn't help, perhaps just telling people that you know about what's going on, people might not be aware, especially with the reporting in the news, they might not be aware of the racial or religious angle of a lot of these groups.
Education works.
There's a lot of people who don't know anything about this.
Yeah.
I went to university and ran into a girl who said nothing.
I was just kidding me.
Yeah, telling people about it, I mean, it's something that everyone can understand is unanimously bad, and everyone is going to be against it if they're a normal, functioning person.
As long as they're not a late party member, so let's move on.
So, Andy D. On the grooming gangs, it's so much worse than you can imagine.
Every police officer I know tells of horrific stories such as this.
For example, one man was arrested for violating a three-year-old girl.
The girl was abducted while in the park.
The police caught the suspect using forensic evidence.
The man tried to flee and assaulted some police officers.
Finally, when he got to court, the CPS refused to push the child abuse charges and went for the assault on police charges.
Standard name for an abuser.
The police officer is distraught and as the problem is the CPS and there is nothing that anyone can do, This guy is now free and in the Reading area.
Oh, he's in my neck of the woods.
Great.
So that's...
No, I'm not going to say what I was going to say.
Someone's going to get me in trouble.
Nitrocellulose doormat.
How long has grooming really gone on?
I believe it started way before the 1980s.
Otherwise, why would my mother's generation know to teach this as a danger that we should be wary of growing up in the 1980s and 1990s?
I grew up in a nice area, but suspect several of the girls I went to school with were groomed.
They turned from bright, happy girls to depressed, very unhappy shadows.
Those were the ones who lived, but some died of drug overdoses.
And I know a couple were murdered.
These were bright, intelligent girls when I knew them, but Asian men would wait at the entrance to sell drugs from ice cream vans, all in full view of everyone to kids, not even teenagers.
Those who did not grow up learned about this dark side of the world and do not believe it.
We know the perpetrators were monsters, but what about those who covered it up and let it happen?
Yeah, they deserve it.
John's writing because we did some research on this back in the day.
The Rotherham Advertiser, in case you're wondering when this all started, as she asks, the Rotherham Advertiser from 1975 mentions this problem.
This was the earliest example we could find.
It was Arab men.
They threatened the girl as a prostitute and they'd taken shillings from her.
It was like shillings.
I mean, we're going back to before pounds were the standard currency.
So there's that.
But there's also footage of, like, there's some great footage of the Sikh guys.
What was it, Birmingham?
In which they were just like, no, they're just coming round and disproportionately picking up our girls to rape them, and we're not going to let that happen.
And started getting into, like, you know, an ethnic war.
And, you know, the BBC turned up and were like, what's going on here?
Isn't that weird?
Same thing, same thing.
Just a little bit later for us, I guess.
Anyway, let's blast through some of these because we don't have time for all of them.
I've lived and run companies in mostly China with a few years in both Thailand and the Philippines over the last 25 years.
I've been somewhat insulated from the day-to-day wokery.
I have yet to live in a country other than the UK where a government would stomach such behaviour or even last if it ignored such activities from guests.
Whilst I hear criticisms of these regimes from the West, my Daughters have no such risks as UK kids, especially from drugs here in Manila, where...
Duta is basically the problem.
Basically killed the problem, literally.
One of the things I don't get is China, Russia, North Korea, countries who would like to portray the West as evil and bad.
When they write about being a capitalist or anything like this, I'm like...
Man, you have no idea what you're doing.
There are way worse stories you could tell about why the West is awful.
But they haven't made it over, I guess.
You don't need to give them better propaganda, Callum.
It's not propaganda, it's true.
Well.
So, what are you going to do, argue it?
A few months ago, I complied a full list of names of the convicted child rape gang in Rotherham, Telford, Halifax, etc.
It's about 250 names with 4 or 5 identical English names on it.
It's effing sickening to discuss what these girls have been through and someone has to do it.
Yeah, there's a good book.
You should read Easy Meat by Peter McLaughlin.
His website as well has just the list of convictions going back to the Hades that he's got listed up there.
And that's the thing.
It's like, oh, I've got my academic research.
Yeah, well, I've got the names.
Read the names.
Speaking of which, Kelly M says, I could listen to Callum struggling to call out all of these names all day.
The dedication is beautiful.
Just say scum.
Yeah, that'll be easier.
Yep.
Douglas Fraser, I hate them all.
Anti-white.
It's just racism.
It certainly is.
Joey Reynolds, denial of reality in the UK. Justice and media will lead Brits down the path that France is currently travelling.
end point civil unrest yeah you'd think um nothing like a bit of community tensions to start the podcast god forbid we offend the rapist yeah that's that's the rhetoric We can't offend the rapist, can we?
Yes, yes you can!
Don't worry, Callum.
I'm sure the underage girls...
No, I'm not reading.
Nah.
I know you're joking and being sarcastic, but I'm not going to read it just because it's gross.
So we're going to move on from that.
So, U.S. Gas.
So, do you want to read some of these?
Sure.
Samuel Kennedy.
Finally got some gas today in North Carolina.
Not being able to find any for days.
3.5 a gallon and no regular unleaded.
Only high-grade ethanol-free.
Since I travel for work, I literally cannot go without it, so I guess...
They'll just try to kill my bank account to save the world.
Two number nines.
I never in my lifetime thought I'd see America elect a president that hates everything good about America.
I'm still waiting for a decent explanation why Trump is bad, other than he's orange.
He tweets naughty things.
Yeah, he says things in a way that people don't like, and therefore he's bad.
But my gas price could be half.
Yeah, but he would tweet things still.
Great.
Facts over feelings, that's what it all comes down to.
Chris Wolfe, the gas issue and the Middle East troubles make it very hard for people who hated Trump to defend their insanity over the last four years makes the golden age of Trump shine.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of people comparing this to Jimmy Carter, you know, just kind of forgetful, distant presidency.
And I do wonder, because Joe Biden said he's not going to run again, he'll just become that.
He'll just become another one of these presidents that just did a bad job and no one really likes.
And Trump, well, he'll look like a golden age.
I mean, Karl is right.
It's going to look better and better.
Absolutely.
Israel Hayes, the US went from net exporter of energy to an energy crisis in less than a year.
Notice Trump was right about literally everything.
Employment, energy production, foreign policy, that is what...
You get when your electorate is thick as a plank.
I don't know about that.
Are we off?
Nah, I'm not going to make the joke just in case, but what electorate.
Alex Ogle.
Josh, stop calling it gasoline.
It's petrol.
It's American news.
I wanted to call it petrol, and I agree.
But when talking about American news, I felt like I had to use their terminology.
How do you pour gas?
It's liquid.
I was having this conversation yesterday, so I'm very sympathetic to that, and I apologise for my...
It's treachery, but I felt like I had to use the Americans' terms when talking about their news.
That's why I did it.
But I did feel a bit guilty.
So, Jan Al's J.A. Mullock.
America is getting closer to civil war.
It's not just low oil and gas coming into the U.S., but I'm sure I've heard that the U.S. is running low on food because most people over there aren't working and they're getting a $16 payout for...
Read this.
Give this a read.
Sorry to interrupt.
There's a statement from President Donald Trump.
I see that everyone is comparing Joe Biden to Jimmy Carter.
It would seem to me that this is very unfair to Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy mishandled crisis after crisis, but Biden has created crisis after crisis.
Yes.
First there was Biden's border crisis that he refuses to call a crisis, and then the Biden economic crisis, and then the Biden Israel crisis, and now the Biden gas crisis.
Joe Biden has been the worst start for any president of the United States in history, And someday they will compare future disasters to the Biden administration.
But no, Jimmy was better!
Exclamation point.
This is the thing.
I did say I was a bit disappointed by his blog, but the blog should exist.
The blog is great.
Love it.
I'm glad that we finally got to hear from him.
We need like a trumpet or something for every time we eat.
Like a Trump jingle in the middle of the podcast when he says something.
So, where was I? Sorry, interrupted by the Emperor.
Yeah, okay.
I'll start again.
America is getting closer to civil war.
war it's not just the low oil and gas coming into the u.s but i'm sure i've heard that u.s is running low on food because most people over there ain't working and they're getting 16 payout for it it's working uh which causes people not to produce products as there is no one working to produce products they buy the collapse is coming soon side note so if america go into civil war we No, I'm not reading that.
No, don't do that.
But, um, he does make a good point.
I watched Academics, I stopped, I got about halfway through Academic Agent's recent video in which he's explaining the problem with the stimulus checks.
And it's a great point.
It's like, if you get $300 a week from the government to do nothing, well, why would you go do a minimum wage job that pays $275 a week?
So, yeah, a week.
It's like, You're getting less money, yeah.
Yeah, I get less money, I have to do more.
Why do I do that?
In which case...
What's the point?
Yeah, don't do anything.
And then it's the question of, well, how much more would they have to pay you?
If it's, you know, $400 a week compared to the $300 to do nothing, would you do it?
Why would you?
$500?
$600?
Yeah, maybe.
But then you've almost doubled the expenses.
So everything goes up as well.
And that probably wouldn't work for most people as well.
It's not feasible to be paid that much.
You just have to get rid of the incentive to do nothing.
That's a bad incentive.
Michael Watters.
The reason so many ransomware programs come from Russia is because it's legal.
In Russia, hacking isn't illegal so long as it isn't done against Russian citizens and companies.
That's amazing!
That's a great law.
I did wonder why all of these ransomware groups...
Yeah, they're all based in Russia.
Why?
Because Russia's, like, based.
Just target our enemies.
Okay, so all these companies do is program the virus to...
Yeah, but you're not targeting Russia, right?
To exclude computers running Cyrillic keyboards is actually kind of cool, in my opinion.
God, that's hilarious.
I mean, obviously, disavow crime.
I disavow crime.
That's such a strong position, Callum.
Are you sure you can defend that?
God, that's funny.
I disavow crime.
Chris Simone say the hackers are, like, halfway to Robin Hood status.
That is just weird.
Yeah, I thought it was weird as well.
Like, they're hacking, like, giant companies, I suppose, but then they're also giving away stuff, and they follow, like...
Clearly outlined ethical principles and stick to them.
It's not actually Robin Hood, though.
Yeah, I mean...
Carl's made this point.
Robin Hood didn't steal from the rich and give to the poor.
That's a socialist myth.
He stole from the government and gave back to the taxpayer.
Because, remember, the Sheriff of Nottingham stole from the people.
So, really, he was the real police.
He stole from the thieves in the first place.
Who?
The tax man.
Well, he wasn't stealing from thieves.
He was stealing from innocent people.
That's what tax is.
Theft.
That's the point I'm making.
Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't understand it.
But therefore, what they should do is go and take those $10 that were pocketed by the US government by White Hot Peppers.
I should probably disavow exactly what I'm saying right now.
Don't do that.
So, David Fisher, all those excluded sectors use oil.
That's true.
Yeah, the price of oil affects lots of things.
So, the fact that they're targeting it, at least they have apologised, which is something, I suppose.
But, yeah, it's kind of a dumb thing to target because it affects everyone and everything.
Oh, I've scrolled up by accident here.
Anyway.
Okay.
Um...
I'm going to skip over it.
Andrew Price, Utah resident here.
Gas went up by 30 cents overnight, about 10% for me.
Good God.
I got lucky and refilled my car hours before the madness began.
Congratulations.
It's also one of the things like UK, as people are noticing, if you compare the prices, it would be $8 for us.
That's what we're paying.
So feel yourself lucky.
Yeah, that is true.
Relatively speaking, we pay astronomical prices to the US. Even Biden, you know, is better than our prices here.
Hang on, I'll read the one you skipped over.
So, as someone who has a deep understanding of the computer industry, I can't believe they allowed key infrastructure to be directly connected to the internet.
By this, I mean connecting systems that hold data that can affect real-world operations.
It's such a rookie mistake, almost like leaving their front door open.
Head should roll.
Also, not having a plan for recovering from such an attack is criminally negligent.
You can't always stop hackers, but you can limit the damage done with proper planning.
Yeah, that's also what I thought as well.
Although I don't know anything about that sort of thing.
You can hack a pipeline.
What else can you hack that's connected to the internet?
It's ridiculous, isn't it?
Have your toilet hacked.
That's right.
Joey Reynolds.
I live in Georgia and I had to visit eight different fuel stations to just find one that had fuel rationing at 10 litres per person.
Yeah, enjoy your rationing.
Yeah, it's ridiculous that the United States went from exporting gasoline to then having a shortage in the space of, what, two years?
One president.
One president is all it takes.
Alright, it's anti-woke manifesto stuff.
So, Tyler Williamson.
Will the Tories ever do anything meaning to undo the Dark Lord's work, or will they forever going at the speed limit with the occasional lip service?
I certainly hope they start doing more stuff.
They have done some stuff.
That's the thing.
I know people are immensely black-pilled about them on the perspective that they do nothing.
But, I mean, they have changed a few laws here and there on things.
I mean, like the free speech stuff we covered the other day that they're bringing in.
The, um...
Oh, my God.
I can't remember the top of my head.
But we've covered some stuff they've done, but you're right that it's not enough.
I mean, they need to undo everything that Tony Blair's ever done.
Like the Supreme Court, the hate speech rules, all the rest of it needs to all be gone.
I think you're onto something.
Get Tony Blair on the team to undo Tony Blair's work.
God, could you imagine?
Like, literally, the anti-Blairism house mighty.
Blair's the chairman.
Tony Blair's gonna be like, I disavow Tony Blair and everything he stands for.
But I mean, at least they're getting policies, right?
At least they're getting stuff like that, right?
I mean, the voter ID, that's what I was going to talk about, that they're bringing in.
But there are elements of hope there.
Like, I've got some hopium hooked up to my seat here, in which they actually are doing some things.
It's not just lip service, but again, as you are correct, don't just want all of this stuff to say lip service.
This needs to be policy.
It's at least promising they're saying it.
We didn't even have that up until this point.
Shooting of history.
Tories have caught onto you guys also.
Was this free speech the effort of the French General's letter like the polite revolutionary speech in British culture?
God, I wonder.
We can't go down France's route.
Look, they're going to coup themselves.
One way of doing things.
Joseph Woodland.
Good.
If the front bench won't step up, the back bench will have a duty to shove them out the way and get on the front lines.
I've spoken to thousands of people.
A substantial portion in Labour strongholds and not a single one voted for Khan.
I'm trying to find someone because I felt so out of touch the day he won.
I do live in Dagenham and Redbridge and it's always been quite the Conservative stronghold so at least my immediate locality is nice.
That's good to hear.
Sorry that you're living in London.
He's like, I'm sorry you've got cancer.
Oh, boy.
Donatus A, let's hope the Tories will bite and not just bark.
Yeah?
Yep, absolutely.
Yenol's Jay Mullock, yesterday I said the Tories took a step up with the free speech bill for universities and they've now taken a leap.
Base Tories are on the rise.
Let's hope they keep the ball rolling.
Only way they'll stay relevant.
By the way, Callum, if you can't say my username, just keep it short and say yen.
That should help and make it nice and easy for you.
Yeah, but I certainly agree.
Justin B., that common sense report is better white pill than all of yesterday's podcast.
Though if the Tories do pick up and implement it, I may have to vote for them again.
Yeah, that's the thing.
If they actually do reform the country, they get rid of the HPJ laws, they put in a cap on immigration.
If they just do all the good things, then you've got my vote forever.
I mean, that's how that works.
I mean, do good government, get votes.
Do good things, keep it that way, that's all it takes.
I mean, what a motto.
What if we just ran the country well?
That might learn votes.
Yeah, that'll do it.
We at least know that the Labour Party can't do that.
Andy D. The common sense manifesto sounds good, but words are cheap and we need action.
Saying that, when I spoke to my MP last, he hinted that the war on woke will just be swift and brutal.
That'll be good.
Get on with it.
I want to say it.
I want to say it.
Invite him in.
Student of history.
Can y'all hear that?
It's Carl at home screeching yes!
I said of it yesterday.
I was like, man, you've got to see this.
And they were like, they're watching my videos or something.
This is fantastic.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
But they need to round it a little bit more and get it in there.
Because, I mean, the non-definition of Woken there from Gareth, good essay, just it needs that definition to be succinct.
Joseph Woodland, public, show me your war face.
Tories, eee!
Public, work on it.
Tories the next day.
War!
I'm going to make some orc Tory memes now.
The common sense group comes out with the conservative Jolly Roger painted on their shoulders.
Battle axis.
MEP flyer boy.
The politicians need to have courage and not care about the media's interpretation as long as they speak directly to the public.
Honestly, the media can't simply stop showing them...
Showing them or the public will become suspicious.
They spend too much time trying to please those who hate them anyway.
If they win the votes, they should stop worrying about those who didn't vote for them.
Very true.
Yeah, I mean, like you were saying, they're scared of the left-wing media.
How many seats do they have?
How many divisions do they have?
Well, they're clearly seeing that it doesn't really matter.
They're just like, well, the Labour Party's basically dead, so we can do what we want.
Why not?
Look at our compilation of the Labour Party, and then look at the mainstream media who agree with all that.
It's like, Which one's popular?
Which one do people actually like?
Simple.
Simple as.
So, Dylan Young.
Worker Callum, did you know that Black Hammer is being led by Gazi Kodzo?
Carl made videos about him five years ago.
He used to be called Black Hitler.
Yeah, I was reading about this.
I didn't actually realise when I did the segment about it that...
This was the guy.
But yeah, I do remember watching Carl's video on it, and I just didn't recognise him, because I think the only picture I saw of the commune itself was just the back of his head, so I didn't notice it was him.
Controversial YouTuber Gazi Kotso became the Secretary General for the African People's Socialist Party.
Controversial.
That's putting it lightly.
They burn Anne Frank, but they're only controversial.
Oh.
Sugar supremacist.
Alright lads, love the podcast, but not to sound like a social justice warrior and an anti-Scouse.
The anti-Scouse rhetoric is somewhat annoying.
Scouse is a good people generally, however very, very politically naive.
It's difficult for me as someone who's not a socialist in the city, having to explain why their ideology is cancer, but also getting dunked on by like-minded people for being born wrong.
Less of this blatant racism, please, you anti-Scouse breadphobes.
Only playing keep up the great work, big video when?
You're only talking to Carl there as well.
I didn't say nothing about Scousers, but they do need to reform.
I mean, the guy from Liverpool, Walton, CLP, the safest seat in all of the country, 87.9% labour, and that he's kicking the fascists out of Liverpool.
What fascist?
All there is is Labour.
So Labour has to be the fascist, you moron.
I don't understand why it's this sort of red hole where people vote Labour.
I'm just like, why?
For what?
Because I hate the Tories.
Why, though?
I don't understand it.
We're going to have to go up there and just interview people and just find out.
Let's go up there.
We'll set up it when we can.
Set up a table and just get a screen and just show them that compilation from the Labour Party.
Why are you voting for this?
Why?
Why?
Just force their eyes open like in the Clockwork Orange.
Just watch!
Yeah, essentially.
Like get one of those vans with the TVs on the side.
Just play it on loop and just drive around Liverpool.
Just all day, every day.
I mean, there is no way that people actually support that nonsense.
They must be just, you know, tribal voters.
And tribal voting is just a thing that I... I know it's hard to break, but it needs to be broken.
John Purcell.
Sorry I missed the stream yesterday, lads.
It was awesome to see the science at its best, but nothing has stuck with me more than Callum reading out what happened to that man's son.
Struck me deep and I broke out in tears.
Been a long time since I reacted like that.
Makes me sick to think that there are humans like that out there.
Barbarism doesn't do it justice.
Yeah.
I mean, I use barbarism because the French call it barbarism.
I imagine it has more and more impact in French language, but...
There is nothing worse.
There is nothing worse than these people.
I'm just going to end on this TF Allspot comment here because we're running out of time.
So, long...
Oh, God.
Love the continued rule of the Calumfate.
Long live bread.
Long live sugar.
Sugar is eternal.
Lotus, make for an excellent salad.
Also, shameless shill, if I may.
