Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Ears for the 30th of September 2021.
I'm I'm joined by Cole.
Hello!
And today we're going to be talking about how everyone is just so racist towards Sadiq Khan.
He just can't get around without being abused.
And also the defiant L's of the left and the human snake that is John Bercow.
So I hope we're going to enjoy this.
First thing to mention, if I sound a little bit weird, it's because I got a little bit ill from Michael and no one else.
Sorry, he denies it.
So anyway, let's get into the premium stuff on the site.
So first thing to mention here is the article from Hugo.
University free speech legislation is a trap.
I don't think there is premium.
I think that's actually non-premium.
So you can go use that if you're not a premium subscriber.
I'm seeing the premium signs around it, so that'll be why.
Although I think you're right.
It isn't premium, so go and check that out.
Next thing is Beau's article, looking back at the Met Gala.
Yeah, I listened to this earlier, because of course for Silver Tier members and above, you can listen to the audio, because this is a premium article.
And it's excellent.
Bo's got such a sharp tongue when he wants to exercise it, and he's not impressed with the Met Gala, and it's definitely worth your time.
It's a very good ten minutes.
He's going to enjoy that.
And the last thing is the book club, so the one we got done.
Robert Conquest's Reflections on a Ravaged Century.
Yeah.
Robert Conquers being goodest boy.
Yeah.
Doesn't take no nonsense.
Strident anti-communist crusader.
Yeah.
Love it.
I love the summation you had, which is, if a communist eats tonight, then we've failed.
Yeah.
It's essentially his attitude to everything.
Yes.
Which makes him solid on that issue of all kinds of socialism, of course, as well, as you can see by the cover.
Yes.
But anyway, let's get into the news.
Yeah.
We're not paying Keemstar royalty.
I changed that enough.
So everyone is just very racist towards Sadiq Khan.
There is nothing else that could possibly make anyone dislike Sadiq Khan that Sadiq Khan has ever done because he's the goodest boy and didn't do nothing.
And no, they're just racist if you dislike Sadiq Khan.
So here's the article in question.
Sadiq Khan, I need 24-hour protection because of the colour of my skin.
That's it, Sadiq.
It's literally nothing else.
Nothing politically divisive you've ever done.
It's just because you're brown.
Yes.
So, the Mayor of London has lauded British footballers who inspired him to open up about racist abuse he has received.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Sadiq Khan's finally brave enough to play the race card, everyone.
Oh, God.
I mean, it was so deeply held in inside him.
He's been holding it in for years.
What a joke.
Solidarity, comrades, on the football pitch, as the Labour Conference would say.
So he now says that he received our abuse and said that his need for 24-hour police protection is on account of the colour of his skin, and that is tough.
Yes, because of the colour of your skin, nothing else.
I love the way that there are literally millions of brown-skinned people in this country who don't need police protection on account of the colour of their skin, but for some reason, unidentifiably, Sadiq Khan does.
Many, many brown-skinned politicians as well, who also don't need 24-hour protection, but Sadiq Khan does.
Yeah, I have a sneaking suspicion it might not be to do with skin time.
So, speaking at a New Statesman event at Labour Party Conference, or the Madhouse, as it's otherwise known, in Brighton on Tuesday, Khan...
I think, actually, the official term is a circus of Labour Party members.
Yeah, I saw some comments saying on the compilation it should have had circus music playing.
It would have ruined it, I thought.
I don't know, I think it really would have made it good.
If someone wants to re-edit and add the music, go ahead.
Anyway, so Khan, a practicing Muslim of Pakistani background, addresses the threat he receives as part of his role as London Mayor, and said that people, quote, need to know that the mayor of the greatest city in the world needs protection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because of the colour of his skin and the god he worships.
Hmm...
Khan proceeded to tell...
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
London is not the greatest city in the world.
You probably don't need protection 24 hours a day.
And it's not because of the curl of your skin or the god that you worship.
Everything you say, Sadiq, is a lie.
Yeah, everything here is BS, in my opinion.
So Khan proceeded to tell the crowd that when he was first elected mayor 2016, he rejected the suggestion of having police protection, later conceding after the risks to those around him continued to become more prevalent.
Quote...
You cannot do anything spontaneously.
Riding a bike to work is different for me than it is for you.
Going for a jog is different for me than it is for you.
Taking your dog for a walk is different for me than it is for you.
He's referring there to the recent criticism he received for travelling in a three-car convoy to take his dog for a walk.
And that's obviously a little bit ironic as well, given the fact that he is obsessed with green stuff.
Yeah, but also, I mean, this is just the price of fame.
I bet Tom Hanks could say the same thing.
President of the United States, having his travelling convoys everywhere.
Secret service for the rest of his life.
This is politics.
We don't live in the 1800s anymore.
And in the 1800s, people used to get shot.
Choked up and said, I'm getting emotional.
And he then went on to give a big old quote.
Sure, I can become a hermit and stay at home and just go to my local common.
Or I can follow the advice of my family and friends who ask me if it's worth it.
Should I pack it in?
Yes.
He talks about the cases of the footballers, Marcus Rashford, and I can't pronounce the rest of the names.
Bakao Saka and Jandon Sancho.
There we are.
I've been prancing my friend.
Give me their confidence to talk about myself, not because I'm playing the victim card.
Oh yeah, God forbid.
Or the race card.
God forbid!
Or the Muslim card.
Oh never, never would you ever claim anything was Islamophobic, Sadiq.
Literally what you did 10 seconds ago?
I mean...
Okay, but because people need to learn.
When I become a full-time politician, I never talked about my experience of being a person of colour in Parliament.
Labour MP Dawn Butler and I have some great stories.
Great stories?
Great stories in the sense of discrimination we suffered.
I wouldn't describe them as great.
Yeah, is that good?
Great stories.
I've got some cracking stories about when I was beat up, Carl.
Yeah.
Actually, that probably is a good story.
And we didn't talk about it much.
We were keen to encourage others to be MPs, for others of different backgrounds to become politicians.
I'm not going to allow racists and Islamophobes to intimidate me, and I'll never bow down to them.
Well, at least I can agree with that.
Don't allow racists and Islamophobes to intimidate you.
I agree.
I don't think we should allow racists on the left or Christianphobes, Anglophobes, whatever you want to call them to intimidate us.
Islamophilias?
Yeah, Islamophiles to intimidate us.
I agree.
Totally agree.
That's a good sentiment there, Khan.
End part.
Sure.
Rest that.
Not so sure about that.
And I'm going to go into why I'm not so sure about that.
Starting off with Dawn Butler.
Dawn Butler and her great stories of discrimination.
They are certainly tall tales because we can just go through them.
So this is the most famous one for people who might not know Dawn Butler.
Her most famous one is she did this tweet here in Block Cabs.
I just got stopped by the police for driving through Hackney.
More details to follow at Met Police.
Just to be clear, imagine the police stopping someone for being black in Hackney.
This is Diane Abbott's constituency.
It's not very white.
It's 10% English.
So are they stopping everyone?
Exactly.
They must be really working overtime in Hackney.
Yeah, I love how our immediate response is to go on Twitter and type out and block caps.
Don't worry, I've been discriminated against, aren't I? Interesting.
Yeah, finally!
Oh my god, some discrimination!
Yes, so if we go to the Sky News story, so you can see here the headline, Labour MP Dawn Butler accuses Metropolitan Police of racial profiling after being stopped by officers.
She wasn't driving the car.
What a shock.
I don't know if she wasn't or was.
No, no, I know, I remember this, she wasn't driving it.
We'll have to look at the pictures in a minute.
I'm sure she wasn't.
But the quote in here, she said police officers stopped her black male friend who was driving a nice car and questioned her while she was in the passenger seat.
Yeah, see?
She wasn't driving.
That's what she said.
But then she took a video of it.
Right.
And none of that seems to be true.
Okay.
Zero percent.
I was just recalling what she'd told us.
Yeah, but I love my zeros, and zero percent truth here, although that didn't stop her going around being like, I'm such a victim, my friends, and then Sadiq Khan telling that she had been so discriminated against.
If we go to the first slide here, that's a black friend.
They blurred out the face, and you can see there he's sitting in the left seat of the car.
Yeah, he's in the passenger seat.
For any foreigners who are watching this, we drive on the left-hand side, so the driver's on the right of the car, and so he's not driving.
So this is the black friend in the driving seat that is in the passenger seat and is white.
That's literally 0% truthful.
If we go to the next slide...
I mean, he might be Mediterranean.
You can see his arm there.
Maybe she should have said Mediterranean, but she did say black.
But why would the cop even care about the person in the passenger seat?
Oh, it was a mirror fit.
Right, okay.
So he was driving.
That still doesn't make sense, though, because the car is facing forwards.
Let's just assume that there's a reason for this that we're not aware of.
Even if he's driving, she wasn't discriminated against.
Also, her black friend isn't black.
There is that.
I don't know why she said it was black.
Because, of course, the reason being, she wants to claim racial discrimination.
We've been stopped for being black, even though half of us aren't black.
And I wasn't driving.
So, whatever.
It's just so obvious.
Yes.
Very truthful.
No one in the mainstream called her out, let's say, on the corporate side of this, because why would they?
They're on her side.
So anyway, let's get back to Sadiq, the man who has no reason for being disliked, but his skin is his god.
No other reasons whatsoever.
Big F. It's not because he was one of the most insufferable remainers in the country.
Sorry, big X in the chat for that, for doubt.
And we'll just go through some of the reasons that people don't like him.
And here's the first one.
Sadiq Khan, verified checkmark.
As mayor and a proud European, I am clear EU citizens will always be welcomed in London.
Proud European.
This is in the era of treason in which the left and the Remainers were trying to overturn the Brexit vote, regardless of how you feel about it.
The idea that you would overthrow the entire thing is a treasonous act against the people of Britain.
Against democracy.
And Sadiq Khan was all for it.
I'm hearkening back to how the king that we put on trial was tried for treason against the people of England.
And yes, exactly the same.
I don't care how you justify it.
What you did was obviously treasonous.
But also, claims himself as a proud European, because of course he does.
If we go to the next one, there's some more reasons, of course, that people don't like Sadiq.
This is one of them for me.
Oh yeah, I forgot the fireworks, I had the BLM fist.
Nothing divisive about that, Sadiq.
Taxpayer money being used for partisan political causes.
Nothing.
So this is a firework event in London that the taxpayers have to pay for and also ticket-goers to this event.
And he and his friends like to hijack it for BLM because, well, that's what the kind of people they are, aren't they?
They can never have civil society, can they?
So let's play the first clip to remind ourselves of this.
This is one voice with one message.
Black Lives Matter.
I mean, as a statement of ideological dominion as a statement of ideological dominion over London, it's pretty bold.
A bunch of fists?
Yeah.
And if it was a bunch of swastikas, I'd be like, wow, it looks like Nazis have taken over London.
And so if it's a bunch of critical race theorist fists, it's like, okay, well, a bunch of black supremacists have taken over London.
I love the imagery, though, of just Iron Fist roaming London.
Remind citizen where you are.
Yeah, exactly.
The pecking order.
It's unacceptable.
But of course, hijacking any event for his own race nationalist purposes he could think of, apparently, even though he's not part of that, but I guess he's a person of colour now.
It's all intersectional, you see.
It's all intersectional, yeah.
So there's that, but if we carry on from this, there's also some other hijacking BLM stuff here.
So Guido being a great archive of things like this, so I thought I'd use them.
See the first one here?
Sadiq Khan, £100,000 for Black Lives Matter group behind police station blockade.
So, he gave £100,000 of taxpayers' money to this group who then went on to siege a police station for BLM. I can see why people are annoyed with you, Sadiq.
No, it's just because he's brown.
There's no other reason to ever dislike this perfect angel.
There's nothing you've done, Sadiq.
Not pissing away people's money.
We'll go to the next one, because there's also the fact that he hates the history of the country, and you can see it by one of the people here.
Well, he is a proud European.
He's probably identifying...
In fact, me and Bo did an epox on the Hundred Years' War today.
We'll carry on doing a few more, because we didn't get through it all.
And he's probably identifying with the French, being like, those bloody English defeated us again.
So this is a staffer of his.
So Sadiq Khan's housing design advocate spent her Sunday morning complaining that Georgian-style architecture is starting to look offensive.
What?
Because it harks back to oppression and colonialism.
Yeah, based.
Stuck up.
I love the unique thing about English Georgian architecture as well, that window at the top there.
Yeah.
It's bricked up.
Yeah, why?
Because of the window tax.
Yeah, I thought that was going to be it.
Yeah.
So for anyone who doesn't know, they had a tax on the number of windows you had in your house, so people were like, right, okay, we'll brick That up then.
Paying less tax.
Interesting part of English history.
Traditionalist architecture.
Big no-no from Sadiq and his office.
Except, of course, this also extends to statues.
Those racist statues.
So if we go to the next one, he set up some commissions to take down a bunch of statues in London because...
British history, not in my London, says Sadiq Khan.
So he wanted to replace them.
This is one of his replacements.
Today, Khan defended the impending erection of a fourth plinth statue of Chilliwabe.
I don't know how to say that.
An anti-colonial activist in Nassiland who ordered the decapitation of William Livingstone in front of his children.
Ah, what a hero.
Traditional British hero.
I can see why Sadiq Khan had put a statue of him up in London.
Sadiq's statue commission claims it wants to, quote, reflect London's achievements and diversity.
Sorry, is beheading William Livingstone in front of his children one of London's achievements?
It represents the diversity.
It's the part and parcel of modern London.
Yeah, it's so comical.
What comes to mind immediately is Lee Rigby being beheaded in London by, let's say, the diversity.
It's only a matter of time until Sadiq Khan puts a statue up to Michael, whatever his name was.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Look, he gave his Quranic quotes for doing it.
You can't argue he's not a real Muslim.
I bet you don't have Quranic quotes for everything you do.
Anyway, so let's move on.
So, of course, there is the other just general problem of Sadiq being crap on crime, and this is evidenced by the fact that the number of homicides in London climbs to a 10-year height.
Well, previously, Boris Johnson was mayor of London, and he had implemented stop and search, and the homicide rate was going down, and Sadiq Khan ran on the platform that that was racist, and he'd stop it, and then it started skyrocketing.
So they brought it back.
So he had to bring him back.
Yeah.
A quote from, again, The Guardian, a left-wing outlet.
In five years, the homicide rate has increased more than 50% from 94 cases in 2014 to a hell of a lot more.
135 in 2018.
Yeah.
Just endlessly.
London briefly became more dangerous than New York.
Wonderful.
Wonderful man.
No reason they dislike you, Steve.
Except your skin tone, of course.
But let's talk about his god as well.
Let's have a chat about this.
I'm already getting the vibe that this might be Islamophobic, Callum.
I think it's factual information.
And if that factual information is Islamophobic, that's a problem for him.
So this is of course full fact here.
Sadiq Khan's former law firm did consult on the defence of someone convicted in relation to 9-11.
Oh yeah, he was a lawyer for terrorists in the early 2000s.
He was consulted on this 9-11 chap and helped defend him.
Yes, and then we elected him to the Parliament and then as Mayor of London.
Yeah, this wasn't the only thing during his campaign that came out that was suspicious.
So if we go to the next one as well, you have the campaign at the time.
So Tories step up attacks on links to Khan's extremists.
What were they?
So minutes after David Cameron joined the attack on Wednesday by claiming Khan was close to a South London cleric, Suleiman Ghani, who supports, quote, Islamic State.
Supports Islamic State.
Right, okay.
Team Zack circulated a dossier alleging Khan's links with convicted terrorists, homophobes, anti-Semites and hate preachers.
Khan's side dismissed it as, quote, desperate dog-whistling.
What, to people who don't think the Islamic State is good?
You're just dog-whistling to those people who don't support jihadis.
I think it's just a whistle.
I don't think many people don't know about Islamic State.
But like, dog whistling to who?
Not my people who don't so much care.
People who oppose anti-Semitism and homophobia and hate preaching.
Not the Labour Party.
Yeah, exactly.
So apparently they talk to Ghani.
Ghani grew up in South Africa and studied Islam in Pakistan and Egypt.
Oh, brilliant.
Notoriously liberal countries.
Until 2013, he was an imam in Tooting Islamic Centre in Khan's constituency.
He opposes homosexuality and believes women should be subservient to men.
Very progressive.
Very progressive.
The Tories say Khan and Ghani shared platforms at least nine times.
It wasn't just a one-off.
I went on the platform.
That's like Jeremy Corbyn.
Yeah.
Constantly surrounded by terrorists and going, I'm not a terrorist sympathizer.
Okay, Jeremy.
It wasn't just like he went up and was like, oh wait, oh god, I'm not being seen with that guy again.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm friends in Hamas and Hezbollah.
Agree with Ghani, incidentally.
The Ghani appeared at an event in Bradford last November on the night of the Paris terror attacks, where speakers called on British Muslims to struggle for the Islamic State.
Ah, okay.
Fantastic.
Sorry, for an Islamic State.
On Wednesday, Ghani called Cameron's comments, defamation of the highest level.
Then sue him.
And Downing Street faced pressure to justify the Prime Minister's claim that Ghani had said he supported the terror group Islamic State, rather than the formation of Islamic states such as Saudi Arabia.
Right, so they want Britain to become an Islamic state like Saudi Arabia, but not like IS. Not like ISIS. Such levels of difference there that are sort of invisible to anyone.
Do you know how Saudi Arabia was founded?
War?
Jihad.
Like ISIS. Didn't they conquer Najid or whatever?
Yeah.
It's exactly the same way.
There's like 100,000 jihadis conquered Saudi Arabia in the same way that ISIS is trying to conquer the Middle East.
Yes.
Lots of baddies.
And what are the legal differences between Saudi Arabia and ISIS? Not many.
One of the moral differences?
Maybe different school of jurisprudence?
Yeah.
But who cares?
This defense is so pathetic.
He's like, no, no, no, not ISIS. Come on, I'm only for Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabian-style killing of people.
And then the idea that Sadiq's office is meant to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, he doesn't support ISIS, just Saudi Arabia, along with us.
Okay, righty-o.
So I also wanted to talk about just Sadiq's tolerance of blasphemy.
Let's say.
Because there was an event a while back that caught my eye.
So if we get the video up, I'm not playing it yet, but I'm just going to talk about it for a second.
Which is the context of this is that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, came to the UK and some leftists decided to put up a big old Trump balloon making him look like a baby.
And this caused a lot of furore in Britain because it was like, hang on, this is our greatest ally.
Leader of the free world.
Should we really be trying to...
You know, piss him off.
Yeah.
Looks a bit bad.
Trying to get a trade deal and all the rest of it.
So Sadiq was called on the news to talk about this and he said that if someone was to put up a big balloon of him as a pig, go for it.
Okay.
Because he believes in free speech.
Green lights!
Let's see what happens.
Let's play.
The balloon catches the eye of the police.
It's clearly a response to the baby blimp flown by the anti-Trump protesters the previous day.
Would you have endorsed an image of you depicting you, for argument's sake, as a pig, which would be very offensive to Muslims?
Would you have endorsed that?
If it's peaceful and if it's safe, yes.
Really?
So you wouldn't mind if there's a giant 20-foot caricature of you as a pig flying over the Houses of Parliament, which is the centre of our democratic power in this country, you would endorse that?
If it's peaceful and if it's safe, look, I can't be the censor.
It's not for me to decide what's in good taste or bad.
But the police decide that Peppa Pig crosses a line.
they took the pig away yeah I actually saw that event as well and it was pathetic so there's the tolerance of blasphemy no it just doesn't you can have the Trump blimp all you want but a thing which Sadiq Khan said could happen the lady presumably saw that on the news and went alright then took it down and had it taken away from her Yeah.
So let's keep going to talk about other things because there's a lot of other things that people don't like Sadiq for.
And here's another one.
So Sadiq Khan's new mask law on London transport.
So the government's impending end to face mask laws faces a major upset today as Sadiq Khan intervenes to force a mask-wearing mandate on all Transport for London services.
Why?
Why?
Nowhere else in the country do you have to do this, but on the tube and so forth you do.
It's very politically correct.
And just to be clear, I haven't been using face masks in London when I've had to go there.
To hell with you, Sadiq.
Let's go to the next link.
What's Sadiq up to?
He's clubbing.
He's out clubbing with his mates.
With Dawn Butler, in fact!
Not social distancing, not wearing their masks, really makes you think.
That fourth image up, just to make it a bit bigger so everyone can have a lovely little look there.
I mean, come on!
This was literally described by Dawn as they went out clubbing together for a Jamaica event.
Just, okay.
Same time, this man enforces the mask mandate.
I'm just saying, Sadiq, you're a giant hypocrite, and there's no other reason people would hate you other than the fact you're brown.
Yes, totally to do with your skin tone, Sadiq.
No other reason to ever dislike you.
Anyway, so let's end up with the last thing here.
So if we go to the next one.
So there's also just a stance on free speech if the blasphemy stuff wasn't enough for you.
The London Assembly is boasting about passing a motion yesterday that means that it is official GLA policy to, quote...
Persuade the social media giants to ban all anonymous accounts, as these fuel people's feeling of impunity, freeing them to be abusive online.
Well, if there's one thing we don't want, it's people having the impunity to feel free.
Yes, so the...
People posting anything online without their name attached.
Residence.
Blood type.
I don't know what the hell else he wants from you.
Presumably employment status and things like this.
Or a national insurance number.
You've got to list it all in, and then you've got your One King license, which you'll have to buy, and then also put your national insurance number to that, and then you can go online.
These peasants are anonymously insulting me with impunity.
I hate it.
Okay, King Khan.
There is a commenting system on Pornhub, so actually that would also fit if you wanted to comment on there as a British citizen.
According to Sadiq Khan, you'd have to type in your name, where you live, you know.
Absolutely lunatic.
Yeah, so, yeah, no, Sadiq, I hate you as a matter of course as a politician.
I wish you could be replaced with a potted plant.
I think I'd do a better job.
Just do nothing.
Just leave people alone.
And, yeah, that's the reason people dislike you.
I don't think it has to do with your skin tone or your god.
It has to do with your actions as mayor.
Surprise, surprise.
I love left-wing hypocrites.
I love them more than anything.
They bring me the most joy, especially when they're so just insufferably and intractably partisan that it doesn't matter to them that they are being so obviously hypocritical.
It just doesn't make an impact on the armour of...
Pretended outrage in service of their personal crusade.
And one of the best ones of this is this Brooklyn Dad Defiant account on Twitter.
You've probably seen it.
It's got nearly a million followers.
Very, very famous.
And I love this so much because it spawned a Twitter account called Defiant Ells.
Now, whoever is running this is doing a great job.
And it's not just this chap, but he's the reason for it.
And, yeah, so it's just talking about, well, look, they're all a bunch of hyper-partisan hypocrites.
Now, that's not to say that on the right-wing and Republican sides there are no hyper-partisan hypocrites.
There, of course, are.
And you can doubtless find many accounts dedicated to that as well.
Because as the winds of politics flow and they blow left and right, and who knows what side of an issue you'll be on next week, because who knows what will be the politically orthodox I mean, might be I don't know if you're comparing yourself to Brooklyn Dad yeah I mean I feel like I'm in a position to judge this person without being a hypocrite myself
but you know these things and the thing is I don't want to don't want to say that look it's not that they can't have a change of heart You know, if you want to sit there and go, well, look, actually, I've changed my position on X issue, and so I disagree with that, fine.
But that's not what's happening.
That's not what's happening at all.
And so we'll take some examples just to see the raw, unvarnished hypocrisy of this person, and many other people like him.
So you've got the great one, the eternal one, is the one that's pinned to the account.
Kamala Harris isn't the only person who's leery of the vaccine Trump is trying to push I won't be taking that S until long after people stop dying from taking a faulty vaccine.
Are we allowed to say that?
That seems like anti-vax propaganda to me, but of course it's only anti-vax propaganda because Trump was in favour of the vaccine, and still is in favour of the vaccine, incidentally.
And you can see that was in September 2020, and then a year later, if right-wing TV networks like Fox, OAN and Newsmax would stop politicising the vaccine and start running pieces like these people regret not getting vaccinated, it might make a huge difference.
Get vaccinated, damn it.
Why?
Because Trump's not president anymore.
That's the only reason.
Same with many, many individuals on the left, up to the President of the United States, his vice, and the rest of them, who were all like, no, Trump vaccine, therefore bad, but now it's theirs, it's good.
Yeah, in fact, let's go to the next one.
Just be consistent.
Because, again, just be consistent.
Because otherwise you get entire Twitter accounts, like 80,000 people, laughing at you for being such an abject hypocrite.
Again, what I love about these, they're actually exactly a year apart, right?
On the 16th of September 2020, he says, raise your hands if you would never trust a vaccine pushed by a bleach injection snake oil cell in Conman.
A year later.
They say when I'm doing my research, I'm not sitting there looking through microscopes and reading scientific studies.
They're looking at Facebook as sounding stupidity.
Yeah, well, you'd only get it because it's not Trump.
It's so obvious.
It's so embarrassingly obvious.
Let's go to the next one.
Any questions about the election?
Oh no, this is another vaccine one, sorry.
I forgot.
Another vaccine.
But yeah, again, exactly a year apart.
Exactly a year apart.
On that very same day, as if this was all he was thinking about that day, we don't have that herd mentality of which he spoke, so now we won't be taking any vaccine injections that are promoted by Mr.
Bleach thanks anyway.
These tweets go miles on Twitter as well.
I've been fully vaxxed since June, and I'm still masking up when I'm in crowded places unable to distance.
Oh, how heroic.
You've taken the vaccine and you're still masking it up.
Oh, why?
Because it's not Trump.
That's it.
It's all it is.
It's just embarrassing.
But anyway, let's go to the next one.
How do you feel about the election?
Well, in 2017, it was fraud.
All fraud.
The Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi position.
Yes.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Fraud.
And it's just Democrat party line.
Democrat party line on every issue.
You know, demand a revote.
Void the election.
And yet, you know, four years later, all of these election audits, like the one orchestrated by the Arizona GOP, are slowly eroding the faith Americans have in our elections and our democracy.
That is the point.
Okay, so what were you doing in 2012?
Exactly.
Sorry, 2017.
You are as much part of the problem as anything else by your own admission.
Ugh.
I can't stand it.
It's literally like an NPC update.
Yeah.
I know that's a meme, but come on.
A robot could be running this account.
I've never seen this person in a stage or given a speech.
Well, I know it's not a robot, and I'll explain how later.
But you are exactly right.
This could be machine-generated tweets.
Just, you know, whatever the Democrats say that day, tweet it.
Okay, so you're undermining democracy.
You're an anti-vaxxer.
What else?
Still not my president.
I like that.
That was one of my favorites.
Let's go to the next one.
Trigger a Trumper in four words.
Hashtag.
Still not my president.
So it doesn't trigger a Trumper?
No.
No one cares about that.
But of course, you know, two or three years later, you can call him Sleepy Joy all you want.
It doesn't change the fact that Biden is still your president.
Okay.
Okay.
Next one.
Do you like the filibuster?
Do you know what a filibuster is?
It's when you talk and talk and talk to stop a bill passing.
Yeah, sounds great.
It's a good rule.
I think we have it in the UK. I'd love to do it.
I would have so much just nonsense to try out.
You know how you've mentioned before there was that event with Gaddafi where he decided to invite a bunch of Italian supermodels and they thought they were going to get something amazing.
You just sat them all down and told them why they're bad.
A long lecture on the Quran, yeah.
Just do that every day.
Readings from the book of dadism.
But I love this.
So he's like, oh, the filibuster is bad, blah, blah, blah.
And then, of course, we need to blast the filibuster once for all.
Sorry, we need to filibuster.
And then, of course, we need to get rid of the filibuster because, of course, the GOP can't be trusted.
Sure, why not?
Why not?
Why not?
Just whatever it is, at any given point in time, it doesn't matter how bad it makes you look, it doesn't matter how against the process of democracy it makes you look, if it serves your interests at that particular moment, just tweet it out.
Tweet it out.
Don't worry about it.
No one's going to be bothered.
All of your Democrat partisans who are like, and again, they're in this war mentality on Twitter.
They feel like they're constantly at the edge of a wave, the crest of this wave.
They've got to come, oh, we've got to do that, we've got to do that.
And so it doesn't matter what's happened before.
It doesn't matter just how hypocritical they're being.
It doesn't matter the kind of people they're showing themselves to be.
Just constantly are.
We might have a small victory, immediate, you know, tactical battlefield victory on this.
Quick, do that, do that, do that.
Doesn't matter if you're, you know, undermining faith in democracy or destroying the republic or making people doubt vaccinations or stuff like this.
Or just wasting your life.
Or wasting your life.
Doesn't matter.
I mean, I hope they're getting paid.
Because if they ain't, then...
So, I mean, I think this next one is actually my favourite, right?
The airstrike that killed Iran's General Soleimani at Baghdad airport is a big deal.
Retaliation is certain.
American lives are at risk.
The guy who bragged about being against the Iraq war is wagging the dog to dodge his own non-stop scandals.
Sure, okay, so it's an attack on Trump.
Got it, right.
But bad to kill an Iranian general who's orchestrating terror attacks across the Middle East.
If you kill your enemies, you win.
Yeah, exactly.
They win.
Yeah, yeah, if you kill your enemies, they win.
That's terrible, right?
But then, again, like, you know, a year later, it took 24 hours for President Biden to take out the ISIS-K planner in yesterday's terrorist attack.
That didn't happen.
What are you talking about?
Airstriking an actual, like, enemy asset?
Bad.
Airstriking a family and killing a bunch of children?
Just fine, because they were ISIS. F around and they're finding out.
Yeah, those kids really effed around.
I mean, you know, but they found out because Biden can do nothing wrong.
It's our glorious, shiny side versus their evil, you know, putrid side.
Anyway, moving on.
Fake news.
Do we need to know about fake news?
Of course we do.
The Trump admin has been rolling one disaster after another, but the disaster in Syria comes at a steep price.
Kurds are dying.
It's all because Trump needs distractions from his impeachment.
Oh, sorry, this is another terrorist attack.
I forgot.
I kept adding ones.
There's too many.
Well, exactly, right?
And then if using terrorist attacks on Americans and Afghan citizens to blame President Biden, stop it.
It's disgusting.
Whose side are you on anyway?
It's just about the teams.
It's literally, you know, red team bad, blue team good.
Cheering from the stands.
But it's also, you'll notice, none of these are on the lines of any philosophical ideas or values or anything.
It is literally just empty Team Rebbed, empty Team Blue.
Lowest of low IQ takes.
You could jump between either of them at any point and it would matter naught.
Mm-hmm.
And yet, literally, hundreds of thousands of people share and like these tweets.
It's like, okay, what does that say about the Twitter echo chamber that is becoming overwhelmingly left-leaning because all the Republicans are getting banned on it?
What does that say?
They've radicalized them?
Yeah, but the NPCs are radicalizing themselves into this, you know, us or them, all or nothing...
Anything goes mentality.
No amount of moral or philosophical consistency is required.
And, you know, I'll politicize an airstrike one day and then condemn politicizing airstrikes another day because the party told me to.
You know, it's very concerning that people are habituating themselves into this.
But anyway, yeah, moving on to the fake news one.
Can't wait for the day.
Idiotic words fake news are buried in the dustbin of history.
And then, of course, oh my God, don't buy the BS narrative the MSN is selling.
It's all fake news.
It's all fake news.
Okay?
Okay.
Alright.
Of course it is.
It's an embarrassment that you exist like this.
Like, who looks at that?
And if that were my dad, I'd be like, oh, I'm so proud of what my dad does.
Being a monumental hypocrite, undermining the Republic.
You know, what a great guy.
Anyway, moving on to the next one.
Cop shooting people.
The Kenosha cop who shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times will not be charged for anything.
This is effed up.
But shooting Ashley Babbitt...
That terrorist, as he calls her, from harming any members of Congress, he did his job.
Just did his job.
He didn't warn her.
She didn't have a knife.
Okay.
There were cops behind her that could have been shot.
There weren't in Jacob Blake's case.
Do you remember Jacob Blake's case?
The guy who literally went in his car and had a knife.
To get a knife, yeah.
Yeah.
Who had assaulted a woman and was going to the car because she called the cops or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He is an innocent hero.
Apparently voted Democrat, I guess.
You know, Ashley Babbitt certainly voted Republican, so...
Even death, he still serves.
Yeah.
Well, that's literally Biden's entire base, isn't it?
But...
Wow, that's a really good meme.
But, yeah, exactly.
You know, Ashley Babbitt wasn't armed, hurt nobody, did nothing other than walking into the Capitol building, shot and...
That guy...
Oh, that cop's a hero.
And he wasn't a police officer, he was a special service agent or something.
But yeah, so it doesn't even matter.
And of course, you know, black women shouldn't apologise for being angry.
Never apologise.
They have more right to be angry than anyone else.
Unless it's Nicki Minaj, and then she can shut her mouth for the good of diversity.
Can't stand it.
Anyway, so who is this guy?
Who would bravely stand up to be an irredeemable partisan shill on Twitter and spend their life wasting their time and being a public embarrassment?
Well, this is a chap called Majid Padelin.
And he is the blogger behind Brooklyn Dad Defiant.
And of course he was called out because, hang on a second, you got paid 60 grand to be a Democrat partisan on Twitter?
And he's like, what?
What?
I'm not a paid schmuck.
What?
Actually, he said, yeah, I am a pig schmuck.
Clearing his mouth, though.
No, no, no, no, no.
So, in real life, he's an art director, teacher, designer, and writer of a book against Trump, obviously.
He did nothing else with his life.
Art director, teacher, and designer, and then all day on Twitter being paid as a Democrat shill.
Just literally, they've got paid shills on Twitter.
Dude, just go fishing or something.
Fish on Trump.
But how irresponsible.
This is the sort of person the Democrats will pay to show for them.
It's like, look, just anything good us, anything bad them, go!
And he's like, great, 60 grand in the bank.
And the thing is, you can tell that he's being paid by the Democrat deep state, the party mechanisms, because he was also against Bernie and things like this.
And, you know, President Biden is ready to kick ass and things like this.
I know.
I know.
I have nothing to say.
I'm just ready to fall down some stairs.
Sorry, fall up some stairs.
But anyway, so rumours surfaced when a user shared a screenshot from the Federal Election Commission data that showed he'd been paid nearly $60,000 by a political action committee called Really American.
And obviously someone's like, well, him being a paid dem op is totally unsurprising.
It really does pay to have S political opinions in America.
And he was like, yeah, that's right.
I was like, okay.
I mean, he just came out and was like, yeah, it's in my bio.
What?
He's actually got it in his bio that he's a senior advisor to reallyamerican.com, this PAC. And so Open Secrets are correct, apparently, when they say that he got $57,000 and 13 payments.
I don't know.
It's obvious BS. Like, someone can have a senior advisor.
That doesn't mean I know you're getting paid 60 grand.
Well, exactly.
Dumb dumb.
But then, why am I expecting anything from someone like this?
Or from the Democrat Party.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm sure the Republican Party are just as guilty.
Are they?
I'm sorry, but this is such moral vacuum levels of nothing.
Yes.
This man might as well not exist.
Well, no, he definitely exists for a purpose, right?
He exists to radicalise the Democrat base against the Republicans, to treat the Republicans like a perennial enemy.
I mean in the sense that you might as well have just written a bot, lads.
It would be cheaper.
Yes, and...
Majid probably is thinking, Ixnay on the botsnay.
Shut up, man.
I'm making it up.
I'm sure there's some students who'd like some cash.
Exactly.
Why this guy?
Anyone could have done this.
It doesn't take any amount of intellect to do this or anything.
Apparently they've spent more than a million dollars on paid shills.
Wait, what?
So it's not just one?
No, it's not just one.
But, yeah, according to this independent report, and someone pointed out that, hang on a second, shouldn't that really mean that every tweet that they put out should have a sort of, like, paid advertisement disclaimer?
If they're British, they have to.
Yes.
You are literally being paid by the political party to constantly shill and attack your opponents.
Yeah.
It's just gross.
This is gross politics.
And this guy is proud of it and he gets paid for it.
And he's just like, yeah, I'm a shill.
I mean, it's kind of insulting, because there are loads of, let's say, beauty vloggers, who, for all of the faults of that community, let's say...
Well, what do they do, Rob?
No, but they do actually...
There's a lot of stupid infighting.
Oh, well, of course they do.
Anyway, so they like to put...
Well, they have to in Britain, and most of them do.
Put, like, you know, ads, paid ads.
This is an ad, guys.
I got paid to do this.
There's some...
This guy has less moral responsibility for his own work than beauty vloggers who have no personality whatsoever.
And he's part of the radicalising process that's tearing the United States apart.
All evil belongs on the Republicans, guys.
It's mad, isn't it?
So yeah, this is the Democrat pact that's paying these people, but it's not just him, he's just the...
Oh, I do like that quote there.
Sorry, I could scroll back up, just that one there.
Now we know how much money it takes for resistance grifters like Brooklyn Dad to do sexual assault and rape apologia for Democrats.
60k!
Liberals sell their salt so cheaply.
That's a great point.
I'd need way more than 60k to be this morally bankrupt.
Just saying.
But it's obviously not him.
And the account...
You should go follow Defiant L's because it's not just him that they cover, obviously.
It's every verified checkmark you can imagine on Twitter.
And so let's just go for a couple more if we go to the next one.
Trump and conspirators trying to push potentially dangerous vaccines on Americans against the advice of doctors and scientists.
Please get vaccinated.
I got my second Fauci ouchie by another awesome pro nurse.
Didn't feel it.
Side effects were slightly sleepy for 18 hours.
I must say, there is something to the grammar of these things.
It gives me the, you're definitely being paid then.
The emojis, the, what are they called, asterisks, trying bold stuff.
Writing like they're writing to children.
Exclamation points.
Yeah.
Where it's like a boomer has written this, or a machine.
Again, it's like a machine's written it.
And it sounds, to me, like they've been sent scripts.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Are there any spelling mistakes?
Not that I've seen.
That'd be a good investigation.
I'd go back and just see, is there any spelling mistakes?
If there's none...
Not even spelling mistakes.
Like, my phone constantly capitalises random words for some reason, and it's just really insufferable.
They literally just copy-paste it.
Yeah, well that's the thing.
That sounds like it's been part of the script.
And it sounds like he's writing for children, which he's obviously not.
And of course children shouldn't be using Twitter anyway.
So anyway, moving on to the next one.
They really are very anti-vax.
Not one legitimate doctor is endorsing the effing vaccine coming out in a month.
F Trump, he only cares about himself.
That's right.
That's what it was.
Trump's like, hey, we're going to get a vaccine going.
It's like, yeah, that's because you're selfish.
That's because you're Alex Jones.
Are you going to kill everyone with this vaccine?
That's what this vaccine is about, isn't it, Trump?
And, oh, no, Biden's in charge.
Oh, take the fucking vaccine.
Quick, I'll do it every day.
It's also very convenient that the rules about banning people for saying such things all after they did these things.
Then all of a sudden, new president, new rules.
Really makes you think, doesn't it?
Let's go on.
Again, it's really anti-vax, actually.
It's really impressive how anti-vax they were.
Let's go to the next one.
I have one with Trump, Navarra and all the yahoos who want to rush COVID vaccine thalidomide.
Google it if you don't know what it is.
Do you know what thalidomide is?
It's the medicine that was given to pregnant women that they kill a bunch of their babies.
No, it didn't kill them.
It probably did kill some.
Maybe the babies are killed.
Yeah, no, no, I know.
It didn't kill the babies.
It made them deformed.
So the women took it for morning sickness and it made their babies hideously deformed.
And yes, that was a real problem in the 70s and 80s, I think it was.
In fact, the verified check marks say this.
You couldn't get away with saying this on any platform.
But now Republicans refusing to get vaccinated are owning no ones but themselves.
And what about those warnings about thalidomide?
Like, it's been, you know, less than a year.
We don't know what the long-term consequences will be.
And you're still like, yeah, well, you're owning yourself.
That's her opinion, yeah.
Yeah, and if we go to the final one, just the ultimate shill here, Robert Reich.
Please, for the love of God, do not rush to an unsafe vaccine for political purposes.
Imagine.
I remember Mr.
Empire over here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Every company in America should require all workers to be vaccinated, period.
Oh, wow.
There we go.
So yeah, that's just the raw and unvarnished partisanship of the Twitter hate machine, and I would just recommend getting off Twitter.
But if you're on Twitter, for your sins, go follow DefiantL, see my good boys.
I also love the hashtag usage.
Again, it's another identifier that someone isn't sincere, in my opinion.
Hashtag this, hashtag that, hashtag whatever's trending today.
What was wrong with you?
Let's move on to the human snake.
So, many people might not know the human snake that is John Bercow, and I thought we'd explore this because I think it is actually unique in British politics that something this slimy has ever happened, and it's worth looking at.
So let's go to the first article, just to show people, Mr.
Bercow.
Bercow, ask Labour comrades for forgiveness.
So...
What was his crime?
I don't know.
I know.
Okay.
Being a member of the Conservative Party.
That's the crime.
Yes.
So, ex-House of Commons Speaker John Bercow has appealed to members of the Labour Party to grant him forgiveness over his former role as a Conservative MP. Told you.
Yep.
That's literally the crime.
He dared to...
I was in a different party.
Can I ever have your forgiveness?
No.
Yes.
And the answer's going to be no, incidentally.
Well, no, the answer's yes from the crowd from what I saw.
It's only yes for now.
Yes.
But when John Bercow becomes a cropper of his new comrades...
Do women have cervixes, Mr.
Bercow?
And he's like, well, I think they might.
Well, that's it.
You were a conservative all along.
Knew it.
I mean, there are socialists actually making that response to this, and I stand with them on this.
Clearly a snake.
It's also predictable.
I'm obvious.
In here, it also says, making his debut at Labour Party conference in Brighton on Monday.
I mean, the kind of company someone would keep.
Bercow, who switched his allegiance from the Conservatives to Labour in June this year, earned a favourable reaction from the crowd as he referred to himself as a rehabilitated offender, before asking if he was permitted to call Labour Party members his comrades.
I'm losing the word comrade.
Unironically.
Okay, commie.
You were a Conservative MP right until you weren't.
Anyway, so a lot of foreigners might not know who this man is, this literal snake man.
So if we go to the next one here, he's most famous for saying order a lot.
Yeah, and don't get me wrong, I actually really did like when he was saying order.
Yeah, it is the proper role of the speaker.
He was better than the previous two in that respect.
They had a good delivery on it.
Very theatrical.
Everyone shut up, try and have a debate.
Order!
It was good.
Yeah, so fair enough on that.
But then he got butthurt because...
Because he was a Remainer.
Yeah, he did that role for a long time, and then there was some vote that came up, and Bercow decided to twist the rules in a certain way to help his side over the other, and that was against his own party.
So let's go to the next one here, which you can see Bercow, I do not identify with the Conservative Party.
Because he was a Remainer, and the Conservative Party went Brexit.
The thing is, Conservatives, is this really a shock?
To anyone who ever paid attention?
Because let's just go to his coat of arms and have a look-see.
That's his coat of arms there.
A couple of scimitars, ladder.
You can see some explanation for all these things.
Well, hang on.
Let's take a moment to examine the explanations here.
The ladder represents the humble roots of his family.
That's fine.
That's aspirational.
The red and blue and gold balls represent the three main parties.
Okay, that's generous to the Liberal Democrats, right?
The balls represent his interest in tennis.
There are four to represent England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and his chairman, blah, blah, blah.
The scimitars are the Essex coat of arms where he went to university.
That's fine.
The motto is, all are equal.
Is that conservative?
Is that liberal?
Is that liberal?
Yeah, that seems to be communist, right?
But it's punctuated by pink triangles, which stand for his championing of gay and lesbian rights.
Right.
And then you've got the rainbow, which represents the flag of equality.
He looks like he has a communist coat of arms.
Yeah, I mean, the rainbow, the conservative pride flag, because remember that's had an update now.
Well, this was done in 2011, wasn't it?
Yeah, and the pink triangles, maybe, because, you know, he's a man from a different era, things have changed a lot.
So that's the reason.
So fair enough, on them, maybe.
But the all are equal, all are equal.
Okay, commie.
Like, literally a communist phrase.
Yeah.
Communist value.
So I'm equal to the guy who murdered Sarah Everard, am I? Righty-o.
Because I don't think I am.
I think I might actually be slightly above him.
I think we are not the same.
But, you know, that meme.
Anyway, so let's move on.
So we go to the next one.
The real reason for the flip, and I think everyone who has paid any attention to this knows, John Bercow, ex-speaker, sorry to not receive a peerage.
So he wanted a seat in the House of Lords, which is tradition in this country when you want to get rid of someone, kick them off to the House of Lords, and they go and live in there for a million years and then die.
Yeah.
And he didn't get that because it's a very cushy job.
You don't have to type the vote.
Most of them don't.
You get your expenses paid.
They get paid to come and vote.
Yeah.
There's a lot of people who don't take that role seriously.
It's not like £400 a day.
If they go to the House of Lords and vote, then they get paid £400.
Otherwise, they just get a normal salary.
It's unbelievable.
To be fair, to be fair to the House of Lords, there are people who do take it seriously and there are positive arguments for it.
Oh yeah, I'm not saying...
It's not what today's debate is about.
But just to be clear, he didn't get this because he had tried to use his position to stop Brexit, didn't he?
That's why he was blocked.
Because Boris Johnson became Prime Minister and was like, why would I help that guy?
Which, fair enough.
Actually good Boris on this.
Which is, this guy can go F himself.
So he went to Labour Party conference and hang out with those people.
Because he's a lunatic.
So let's go to the next one.
Labour Party circus.
And I love this.
The BBC, right here.
Labour conference.
Comrade Bercow makes a debut.
In his clown makeup.
I know.
The BBC being a leftist outlet.
The thing I find funny there, it's almost like the Daily Worker has written about it.
Comrade Bercow has stood with us.
Socialist Worker has written this for the BBC. God, it is the government element.
So, quote, I would like colleagues, or if I can be permitted to say comrades, that I have always been a slow learner and a late developer, so don't hold my rather long-winded journey against me, he added.
Mr.
Bercow then added, I was completely wrong, and it is utterly shameful, and I should never have made those reckless and stupid and nasty bigoted decisions.
God knows what the hell he's talking about, because I lost him to his whole speech and wasn't clear either.
Presumably being a member of the Conservatives.
Just being a member of the Conservatives, that makes you a bigot.
Keep that in mind.
They know how they think of you.
So when they call you scum, don't be surprised.
This is normal for them.
And in a speech littered with references to his gommelates, welcomes with a warm reception, he seemed to have achieved his repentance.
Oh, I've seen the light and now I'm a communist.
Yeah, welcome me into the fold as a saved soul.
I was going to be singing the Internationale later this evening.
I don't know.
Putting on a little beret.
Maybe put a little pin on himself.
But anyway, let's move on from this.
Just get straight to the transition, Bercow.
Let's just do it.
Full surgery, gold-plated dilator.
I love that.
In the middle of it, he's just singing, we'll keep the red flag flying here.
LAUGHTER But anyway, the reason I'm talking about this, especially in the human snake that he is, is because, of course, it's something I don't think has ever happened in British politics, that someone has switched sides, it has happened in the past, but to then go to the Labour Party and be like, God, my raids, I stand with you, the Tory MP. Yeah.
And you've got the genuine socialists who are also just weirded out by this, and they're right, to be honest, because this is so obviously fake.
What?
Is it fake, though?
I mean, he got a commie coat of arms in 2011.
I think this is just a long time coming.
Oh.
Maybe, but it's fake on the basis that this is clearly opportunistic.
I mean, the whole life of him seems to be opportunistic as well, in the sense that, presuming his constituency of Buckinghamshire or whatever it was, then no one was going to vote commie there.
So he's waiting until out to reveal himself as a true commie.
Because, I mean, he would have come up under Tony Blair, right?
I don't remember off the top of my head.
Well, he must have done, just given his age.
I think because Britain is a constituency, the constituency is deeply conservative.
Yeah, yeah, but it would have been in the Blair era, right?
And in the Blair era, politics was different.
You know, there was quite a wide centre ground.
That doesn't matter in British politics.
It's the constituency that matters.
No, no, I know.
And if they're going to vote Conservative...
Yeah, I know, but what I'm saying is, you know, he's like the left wing of the Conservative Party, right?
And so he's got the blue ribbon, but he's got a commie coat of arms in Buckinghamshire.
Just publicly.
Exactly.
And so it's interesting, what this is, basically the Conservatives need to get rid of the Blairites from their faction, and Bercow...
It's kind of an example of that, going like, oh no, comrades, you know, because Bled was pretty far left.
If you're a conservative member and you disagree, comrade?
Tell me why you disagree.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Correct us if you think we're wrong.
But we're obviously not.
I mean, he's literally calling them comrades.
Anyway, so Bercow was obsessed with ordered politics, order, all the rest of it.
You know, polite politics, as you might call it.
I wonder how he thinks about the scum.
Yeah, so let's get this up.
So, Rainer, I'm sick of shouting from the sidelines, and I bet y'all's lot are too.
We cannot get any worse than a bunch of scum, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, absolute pile of Banana Republic, Etonian piece of scum, and I've held back a little.
That is that I have ever seen in my life.
So Angela Rayner is the Labour deputy leader, and she is a communist lunatic, and this is what she thinks of the Conservatives.
She literally gave a speech asking the shared values of collectivism, so it's perfectly accurate.
Yeah, exactly.
So she's a communist, and I don't see why she wouldn't put the Tories against the wall if given the opportunity.
I mean, they are homophobic, racist, misogynistic scum.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
So they need to be shot, in Rainer's view.
Irredeemable, I think, is a safe word.
I don't know if you call this scumgate or whatever.
Yeah, scumgate, that'll do.
British politics.
So we go to the next one.
We have her standing by, Rainer stands by labelling of Tories as scum.
Yeah, so, I mean, and the thing is, in previous eras, at least the opposition was meant to be the loyal opposition, right?
As in, you know, okay, well, we didn't win this time, but we might win next time.
We're all in it together.
We're all proud, patriotic Brits, and we're all trying to do the best for the country as we see fit.
Well, not now.
Not now.
Now it's like, they're evil and need to be shot.
I've never seen politics any other way, so I can't speak for them.
Oh yeah, but I have, and it was never this bad.
But I always find it strange that the Conservatives are always like, no, we must be polite to them.
These people literally want to kill you.
Yeah, because that was...
Yeah, exactly.
Because in previous eras, even Tony Blair wasn't this hard, like, gung-ho.
Well, it's because of his power, in my opinion.
Well, probably.
But, like, you know, Tony Blair was like the moderate face of radical politics.
And he's the one who opened the door to all of this.
So the quote's out of here.
But speaking on Sunday, Reyna defended her comments as being made in the street language of her northern working class roots.
Yeah, but why are the northerners voting Tory now?
And also, I don't think it's appropriate to say that northern working class people will just call each other scum all day.
I mean, there's a very specific thing here.
But anyway...
So Raina said that she would say sorry only if Boris Johnson apologised for past comments he made, quote, that are homophobic, that are racist, that are misogynistic.
A reference to the Letterbox comments describing gay men as tank top bumboys as well.
Yes.
New.
Moving on.
Starmer told BBC... I mean, she sounds like she's condemning queer culture, but you apologise for that.
We'll look at them.
You know, they embrace that.
They embrace this.
Also, you're acting like Boris has never taken up the...
Of course he has.
He went to Eason.
You called him a Tonian, you know.
Starmer told the BBC Andrew Marsh show that, quote, Angela and I take different approaches, and that's not the language I would use.
Didn't disavow it though.
Rayner was defended by John MacDonald, the Marxist, a former shadow chancellor.
The man who said it's my job to overthrow capitalism on the BBC. Whilst trying to become the man in charge of the British economy.
Who suggested that she should not have used the language she did, but that, quote, deep down she's expressing the anger many of us feel.
We've all been there late at night getting very angry about what's going on.
What I like about Angela Rayner is that she's human.
Well, unlike the rest of the Labour Party, who are just programmed NPCs, just a bunch of clapping robots.
I like it.
So, we'll move on.
David Lammy also stood by this, because, yes.
So, David Lammy's defence on this.
I, too, have been known for fruity remarks over the years.
That's understatement.
Is that about the tank tops?
I'm not too keen to take lectures from senior Tories, who have a leader who described people like me as piccaninis with watermelon smiles, who describes gay men as tank-topped bumboys or Muslim women as bank robbers, he said.
These are all, in the context, of course, jokes, but this one not...
Boris's flamboyant language, but okay, take them as a personal insult.
So we'll go back to Comrade Bercow.
What was his opinion on this?
Didn't do nothing.
Yeah, he stands in solidarity with lunatics like John McDonnell and David Lammy.
Yeah, but also Angela herself.
Yeah, of course, of course.
But, like, this is the company that Bercow is now keeping.
Oh, I agree with David Lammy and John McDonnell that Angela Rayner did nothing wrong.
I was like, okay, so you're also a vacuum of a human being.
Yeah.
Okay, commie.
What do you want?
So you see the title there.
John Bercow defends Angela Rayner, scum comments, and says she is a damn good person.
Oh, yeah, she sounds great.
He did.
Quotes in here.
I feel Liberators, as a member of the Labour Party...
Sorry, you've been in the closet the whole time, then.
Is that what you're saying?
But even then, I feel liberated by putting on a straitjacket of political orthodoxy and political correctness.
So now I can't say a bunch of stuff that otherwise I could have said, and that's liberating.
Do women have a cervix?
Oh, God.
I'm sorry, literally any time anyone at home or any one of the media interacts with anyone from the Labour Party, that should be the first question.
Every single time.
Yeah.
Because it's completely stumped them.
Do women have cervix?
Anyway, so he says, but I do...
I can't believe you'd ask.
But do I want to stand for Parliament again?
No, I don't, he said.
I know Angie...
Because he wouldn't win.
He'd stand in Buckinghamshire as a commie.
I know Angela well, and she is a passionate person and believes in her values.
She feels very, very angry about what is being done to this country by the Conservative government.
Brexit?
I mean, tax rises, I agree.
Does she disagree with the tax rises?
Lockdowns?
Totally agree.
Does she disagree?
She doesn't disagree with anything bad the Conservatives have done.
She disagrees with good stuff like Kemi.
So he says, so if you're asking me would I plan to use such language, I wouldn't.
But people make mistakes and it's up to Angela to say whether she thinks it was a mistake or not.
Do I think Angela should be damned to perdition for one comment?
Absolutely not.
Angela is a damn good person.
She's got strong good values.
See, she shouldn't be damned for her comments.
But Boris, I mean, he did say bumboys.
He did say letterboxes.
Damn him to perdition.
Bank robbers.
Anyway, so we go to the next one.
I found just, you know, people swanning about with him at Labour Conference, having a wonderful time that he's there.
He's finally come out of the closet.
Oh, yeah, of course I forgot about this.
He was basically going around the continent at one point saying order to things.
Yeah.
Because that's the thing he's famous for.
That's it.
So he did the same thing here for some guys.
If we go to the next one as well, there should be the video here, which is the Comrades video.
And let's play this clip so we can get this.
Just to say, Jonathan, first of all, you're proud.
A big thank you to you for being willing to engage with me at this event.
And I would like colleagues, or if I could be permitted to say, comrades.
I love it.
I love how it's like, you know the meme, say trans rights, and everyone just claps?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Comrade Burka says trans rights.
It's essentially that, but, you know.
But SME for Labour.
That's a horrible sounding phrase.
SME. I didn't figure out what that stood for.
Uh, Here's the full version, in case someone wants to go through and listen to it.
The audio is even worse than that clip we just showed.
It's terrible, so I'm not going to play any clips from this.
I've got a couple of quotes, though, which I found interesting.
So, regardless of what you think, I will not accept that...
So, he says, regardless of what you think about my periods in office, I will not accept that I was acting dishonestly in Parliament.
What?
He said, in a chair at a Labour conference, talking to his comrades after...
He was totally dishonest about what he did regarding the Brexit vote.
No, I'm sorry, but like...
You're literally at Labour conference, my friend, and you were in Parliament as a Conservative.
So if you weren't acting dishonestly...
What happened?
Because you said the thing that changed you was what happened in Parliament, which is Brexit.
Look, don't worry about that.
Look at my 2011 coat of arms and call me out as a communist.
I warned you all before.
Yeah, exactly.
You can't say I was being dishonest.
All the evidence was there.
He's got us on that front.
But it's just so absurd.
And he ends it with, the reason I joined the Labour Party is that it speaks to my values.
I do not want a career in the Labour Party.
You won't get a career because you wouldn't win.
Speaks to my values.
Your values.
You're at a Labour conference.
I've been covering this, I've been showing people, everyone's been watching it.
What are the Labour values?
Well, from the footage, it's being anti-white and anti-Semitic.
Let's go to the next one here.
It's called Labour value.
I'm not joking, I mean, seriously.
Why else did he have to shout at the audience to stop booing the debate?
I've been really enjoying these Labour conferences, the bridge ones as well.
Take a bugger load of work as well because they're eight hour long streams I've got to go through.
They're so good though, Callum.
So the reason I'm bringing it up again is please go watch, do share with your friends because this is Berco's Labour Values which is no white men, no Jews.
Okay, comrade, enjoy your time there.
Snake.
Love it.
Let's move to the video comments.
Hi, Carl.
I just wanted to say thank you for the compliment you paid me in the gold Zoom call last week.
Unfortunately, I was being a complete boomer, and instead of replying to you, I was muted the entire time.
So, yeah, I figured I'd say thank you here instead.
Appreciate it.
Hopefully you are going to continue enjoying the work I do.
Yeah, John's first silver tier members and up.
We've been getting him to read the articles so you can listen to an audio version of the article if you're a silver tier member.
And he's been doing a great job.
I was listening to Bo's article earlier and I was really enjoying it.
So yeah, no, it's fantastic, Greg.
Thank you, John.
I apologize to the viewers if this is repetitive.
However, I would like to hear Carl's answer.
This pathologizing of hatred itself is a problem.
Bible verse, Romans 12, 9.
Let love be without hypocrisy.
Abhor what is evil.
Cling to what is good.
It's not about hatred.
It's about developing people that love good or virtue and detest evil or vice.
To pathologize hatred means inhibiting your own good judgment.
You don't have morals or aren't confident using them to perceive reality.
To affirm evil is in fact a form of punishment.
If you want to ruin a person's life, would you spoil them or choose them to be a virtuous person?
Thoughts?
I mean, I don't think he's wrong.
If you want to ruin a person's life, you teach them to affirm evil, as in affirm vice, and that is going to turn them down a path that they're going to absolutely loathe.
If I understand correctly, is he making the point that that's a different thing to hatred, or the same thing to hatred?
Not entirely sure.
It didn't seem very clear, but I mean, I think that the pathologizing of anything is bad because, again, you lose your own sense of an ability to sort of dissect it and control your reaction to it.
But I don't want to just repeat myself from the other day.
I said this the other day as well, so I'll mention it here because you're here now, which is that I listened to the clip again and your position.
I still didn't find myself agreeing with it, but the fundamental thing that stood out to me is you...
You can be wrong all you like.
So can you.
And you kept saying rational hatred or irrational love, and I think that's part of it which makes it strange.
I wouldn't add irrational.
I think there can be love.
Well, I think hatred is irrational.
I think you could have some that's not, as you're describing, irrational, which is you're obsessed with it, can't get out of it.
It affects you to the point that your actions are no longer reasonable, that sort of thing.
Although I did see a good comment from one of the commenters that gave me some thought to the opposite, which is he had an example of someone whose family member is murdered.
And then they obsess over the murderer and they can't get over the trauma that's brought to their life.
Which is true, but in my mind I would put that as something else.
As I use the term hatred, but we're not going to rehash it too much.
I think that's an accurate use of the term.
Because I think that what you describe is disdain.
Sure, but again, we're just arguing about definitions at this point.
Well, yeah, I mean, yes, but I think it's important.
And the way you're using hatred here, I view it as being disdain, as in contemptuous of what they are.
But you're not all-consuming, lost yourself in this passionate despising of that other thing where you can't think of anything else, right?
Yeah.
Like I mentioned, I hate Sadiq Khan as a politician.
I'm not obsessed with the guy.
The last thing, I don't think you do hate him as hate, I think, is being understood.
You disdain Sadiq Khan, which is totally fair, because when Sadiq Khan's not in front of your face, you don't think about him, unless he's jumping on the news or whatever.
So, yeah, it's more sort of controlled and, you know, self-possessed rather than the sort of pathological frothing at the mouth.
I can't stop thinking about this thing that I just, oh, I loathe.
You know, there's a difference there.
There's a demonstrable difference there.
And so that's how I think hatred is more that rather than sort of disdainfully.
This is just two people have different versions of the language.
Sure, sure.
But that's fine.
This is how the language community assesses itself and comes to new conclusions.
That's a linguistics book.
But John's saying he doesn't think hatred must be a frenzy or anything, but...
There's different opinions on this, but...
Yeah, but that's still...
I don't think it's a very interesting subject.
That's still a weird obsession.
But anyway, okay, let's move on.
Hey, gents.
Rather than getting into Minecraft, what you should do is get into LEGO Mindstorms.
Go and look it up.
I think your kids are going to love it.
LEGO Mindstorms.
Never heard of it.
No, I did with my LEGO. Build stuff?
Yeah, and I enjoyed it.
And I sold it back to my mother.
Twice.
Sold it back to your mother?
Yeah, I was like, no, it's my Lego.
You can't have it.
Because she was going to get rid of it.
And so I sold it to her.
And then I got it back.
And I just sold it to her again.
Got my money.
But I forgot I'd sold it to her originally.
So it's okay.
Seriously, when I was like 11 years old, I had this huge plastic tub of Lego.
It was literally like probably a half a meter high.
Full of all the Lego that I'd collected over the years.
And my mum gave it away.
I was gutted.
I was gutted.
She got some cash for it.
Well, I wasn't even thinking that.
I was thinking, I can't believe she gave away my Lego.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
It's pretty interesting, this Mindstorm thing, but it looks like a robot.
I'll send it to John for the end of this.
Yeah.
We don't have to shill Lego.
I'm fine.
It's been said.
I was just going to show you.
It is a fun-slash-silly-slash-serious idea for Josh and Hugo for Contemplations, which is what a society run by Diogenes the Cynic might look like, and how their philosophy compares to current leftist philosophy.
Just having fun with the thought, I'm sort of disturbed by it, actually.
Hmm, that is quite an interesting idea.
What would Diogenes society be like?
Isn't he the guy who lived in a barrel?
Yes.
Used to masturbate in public.
I don't think there would be one.
No, it wouldn't be a very good one.
It's the homeless community as well, it is.
This is why I actually kind of despise the veneration that Diogenes gets online.
It's like, look, he wasn't a respectable guy.
No, he had some cool put-downs, but that's it.
Yeah, exactly.
He was good at BTFOing Plato.
Well done.
Didn't he BTFO Alexander the Grey as well?
Yes, he did.
And he had some good one-liners, like in a rich man's house, they had nowhere to spit but in his face.
It's funny.
That's about it.
You don't want this guy running a society.
Terrible, selfish, nihilistic attitude.
Builds nothing.
You wouldn't want to pass it on.
He can't have been a happy person.
Don't get me wrong.
Very interesting and colourful character, but not a model to follow.
I didn't think I lived in California.
I do live in California.
Unfortunate.
California desert.
Mountain desert.
And so I lived three hours from LA, three hours from the beach, six hours from Las Vegas, so an hour from anything of note.
So we had the French fire recently.
It started on the 18th of August or something like that, and it burned for more than two weeks.
It burned over 26,000 acres, and so it was really smoky for a while.
And honestly, we have these kinds of fires every single year.
See, the reason I couldn't remember about California was in my head because of the fallout conversation.
I wasn't very sure whether or not you actually lived in the Mojave wasteland.
But, I mean, with all the smoke, maybe you do.
But I imagine they don't have those in the Mojave.
But this is the thing with the wildfires.
The media is like, oh, look, global warming.
It's like, but we have this every year.
Same in Greece.
They were like, oh, look, global warming.
Do they have this every year?
There was one from Sneak Khan I didn't include because I didn't think it was bad enough, but he tweeted out a picture of a bridge with water on it saying, this proves global warming.
It's literally just a drain that's blocked, you idiot.
Sorry, there's the water, there's the bridge, and there's water on the bridge.
Oh, well, there we go.
Dum-dum!
Checkmate, climate skeptics!
Just push the water off the bridge, and then it's not there.
Amazing.
Idiot, man.
So I know Carl has said he enjoys watching these sped up building videos.
I know a lot of people do on the internet.
I have finally produced more than three videos worth of content and now feel comfortable sharing my channel for the first time ever.
Most of my videos have absolutely no views and I have two bot subscribers because I have not shared it with anyone anywhere.
I'm still not entirely sure what the point of the channel is going to be, but some of the content is building things with political commentary, some is just political commentary, and some is just building things.
If you enjoy any of those, Midpoint Mindset on YouTube is where you can find it.
See, I don't think you understand just how therapeutic it is to watch someone build something.
I'll send you a link to the channel.
Yeah, send me a link.
I'm going to watch it later.
Hey guys, so this is week six of 16 at university.
One professor not know basic terminology such as scientific notation.
Second professor wanted to go ahead and knock me off a point for using a letter, algebra, instead of what was given.
Now, a professor that whenever I ask deeper questions, oh, you're wrong.
Well, I continue going to a place of abuse.
There comes times when political bonds must be dissolved.
Ungrateful students.
Well, that's universities for you.
Yeah.
I can officially confirm that the Load Seaters is red-pilling kids.
Don't know how.
I was out cycling and bumped into some high schoolers coming out of school and, uh, they recognised me from the video comments.
So kid, uh, lad, do your homework, make the Load Seaters proud.
And two, Carl, I cannot give details, but could you wish my grandad good luck?
Not me, but I don't want him to have any health complications or get blind in any way whatsoever.
Just wish him good luck.
I cannot give more details because it's 30 seconds.
Well, good luck, Grandad.
I'm sure everything will go well if you put your back into it.
And that's hilarious.
Just some radical...
Hey, you're from the podcast!
Yeah, by the way, Side Effect might be getting famous.
Sorry.
That was great.
Yeah, no.
Minister, based, based ape.
Two different guys.
One of them sells dildos, the other, memes.
That man's an imposter!
That man is the imposter!
Hold on a second.
We'll have a showdown.
A few moments later.
There's another potential base individual there.
I feel like all the meme editors should have based in the name somewhere.
If they want war, we'll give them war.
I challenge you in a legal fight.
The editing?
Fantastic.
What am I watching?
I confused two of the guys.
I always change his name to the dildo guy now as well.
That solves that problem.
I won't forget that name.
It will be said that we do not now put to death the introducers of new opinions.
We are not like our fathers who slew the prophets.
We even build sepulchres to them.
It is true that we no longer put heretics to death, and the amount of penal infliction, which modern feeling would probably tolerate even against the most obnoxious opinions, is not sufficient to extirpate them.
On Liberty, John Stuart Mills.
Callum, let me know if you want this copy.
Happy to give it to you.
How old is that copy?
I don't know.
Say yes.
We definitely want an old version of On Liberty.
Yes.
Being compelled.
Although I think On Liberty was the first proper political book that I sat down and read and then was like, okay, this is a waste of time.
Because previously I've been reading other stuff from communists.
Don't bother with utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill.
That is a waste of time.
But I was just the summation and also a lot of the points that we still struggle with today, or at least the political class do, just on the most basic things.
He even has a reference in there to council culture before its time, which is amazing.
He talks about the tyranny of society and how we need to defend not only against the sheriff or prison or whatever the word he used, but the tyranny of people shutting people down for saying something they don't like as well.
I butchered the...
No, no, but he does do that.
And there's a lot of stuff in there that I found was liberating.
Yeah, yeah.
Have you ever seen...
You can find John Stuart Mill's education, how he was educated growing up, and when he was six years old, he was reading Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and stuff like that.
It's like, oh my god.
What a boring childhood he must have had.
So I recognise since George W. that...
A lot of people have thought that it's pronounced nuclear, but it's not.
It's N-U-C-L-E-A-R, nuclear.
If you don't want to sound like a hick, pronounce it correctly.
But what if I want to sound like a hick?
You got your truck?
You got a nuclear plant.
I'm starting to think now in the Chernobyl series if anyone said it like a hick.
I'll have to go back and check.
Twering is white privilege.
Liberalism.
Is white privilege.
Conservatism with a small c.
Is white privilege.
My anecdotal experiences.
White privilege.
I used to have iron brew when I was a kid.
White privilege.
I wasn't a drink-driving officer.
It was a ghost.
Is white privilege.
The schizophrenic ramblings of someone muttering on the bus.
Is white privilege.
Yes, you're a very good white man.
Thank you.
You're making us fellow white people look very good.
White privilege.
Finally, someone knows the war.
LAUGHTER I'm just setting that meme up for ages.
I love the edits.
They're fantastic.
Sponsored by Oofion.
Let's go to the next one.
Tony D and Little Joan here outside the Whitman Stafford house where Walt Whitman, the poet laureate, spent his summers.
Once a farm in the middle of nowhere, it's now in the middle of suburban Laurel Springs.
And this is the spring where Walt Whitman would take a bath where he probably wrote Leaves of Grass and Lines like the City Invincible.
They believe that the curated properties of the spring water in the early 1900s were good for your bones.
Probably are good for your bones, to be honest.
But that looks nice.
I'm really enjoying these, like, you know, Pine Legends things.
I'm enjoying these.
Just wondering if there's fluoride in the border.
Isn't fluoride meant to be good for your bones?
Like, it helps your teeth or some crap?
Probably, but apparently in excess of it also makes you an idiot.
Compsi, compsi, you know.
Is there one more?
Is it transphobic to say only women have a cervix?
And it pits people against each other.
Is it transphobic, yes or no?
Is it transphobic?
Look at my...
Yes.
Yes.
Another Joe Swinson moment right there.
I know, but isn't it beautiful that this has actually destroyed British politics for like a week now?
Oh yeah.
For like a solid week, this is just, nothing's gone anywhere because this question can't be answered.
And no one knows what to say.
Yeah.
And you've got Liz and Kemi, actual conservatives of the Conservative Party.
You can sit back and go, yeah, the only women have a vagina.
Women have vaginas.
Yes.
Boom!
Dunk!
And yet, in the entire Labour Party, the blue screening.
So, this needs to become, like, the debate, I feel.
If you're a Conservative strategist or something, that's what you'd go for right now.
Yeah, if I was a Conservative strategist, I'd be like, look, make them all just tweet out, women have cervixes.
Yeah.
So that's it.
I don't care what you're damping in.
You can do what you're told.
Three-line whip.
You'll leave the party if you don't do it.
Yeah, if you don't think a woman has a cervix, you're with John Bercow.
But...
Which John Bercow probably, you know, but what I love about it, it pits people against each other.
What do you mean?
Of course it does.
What is it supposed to be?
People against the sharks or something?
You know, we're divided against the menace of the...
That's what politics is.
People opposing one another, you dunce.
My favourite Hitchens quote, all politics is division.
Yeah.
I hate this for people who are like, oh, it's causing division.
Yeah, no S. Yeah, you're a politician.
You should have expected that.
Yeah.
You know?
Like, the only person who can't agree to that has to be some kind of person who's like, the holy party.
Or possibly a Maoist who's like, people against the sparrows.
LAUGHTER It's such a stupid statement.
It's like, yes, it does.
Yes.
Not people against people.
Yeah, he's not got anything but that.
Go to the next one.
People against the sharks.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
We should win the war on the sharks.
Well, the Aussies are against the emus, and they lost that, so maybe we learnt our lesson.
And the seagulls have taken over the beaches, and they're the communists of the air, so we need to win that one, too.
But anyway, moving on.
We can't win.
Oh, man.
Hey Carl, now that leftists are going around proclaiming that 1984 is an example of what the world should be like, do you regret making these Ink Sock t-shirts?
You should make some Lotus Eater t-shirts.
Not that I'm interested in showing people's product.
We will, we will.
I would never do that.
We will get some shirts.
In fact, they'll be coming this month, isn't it?
October.
Is that it?
I'll have to check with Ramvin.
Ramvin is the one setting it all up.
But I'll check on the shirts coming.
They are coming as well.
And they're really good quality.
They sent us some examples of them.
They're really high quality.
And the thing is, after using Redbubble, which is really low quality, it's, you know, like night and day.
So it'll be better quality than the one you're wearing there.
But no, I don't regret making those shirts.
They were pertinent political commentary, and they still are.
It's just weird that one side would embrace it, the irony of it.
It's like, yeah.
Yeah, I am evil.
That's right.
I'd like to be more evil.
Thanks.
I like that shirt.
And I had some people with the diversity is our strength one and trans women are women one.
I'm so proud of them.
They're so good.
I know.
They're such good shirts.
But I've had reports of people wearing them.
They go, oh, I like that shirt.
Is it a green?
And it's like, oh, that's where we are then.
So at least you can blend in in the crowd of insane leftists if you happen to be wearing it.
I mean, the trans women is women one.
It's so subversive.
Yeah, I know.
It's unbelievably good.
I think it was John that came up with those designs.
Is that correct, John?
Yeah.
Yeah, John's fantastic merch range.
It's very good.
John's asking us a question.
Ask them to submit ideas for shirts?
Right, okay.
Yeah, anything that you think would look good in a shirt, slogans, any quotes, any cool ideas, email contactatlotuses.com and we'll consider them.
We have vaccine passports now in British Columbia for restaurants and anything else that the government deems non-essential, and yet our provincial government has the gall to say that they aren't making vaccines mandatory.
If I'm not able to eat out at a restaurant without a vaccine, in what way is that optional?
In this video I'm changing out fluorescent fixtures for LED fixtures.
Very good.
But I guess that their argument would be, well, I mean, you don't have to eat at a restaurant.
You don't have to be a human being living in society.
You can still go to the supermarket until they bring in vaccine passports to just get you groceries.
And then I think that you've got a pretty solid case that even they can't refute.
I'd love to be an electrician.
If I had a trade, that's the thing I'd do.
Seems a bit dangerous.
That's fine.
Just turn off the electrics.
Fix everything.
Turn back on.
Everything blows up.
Not your fault, Lee.
I'd be a woodworker.
Don't explain.
No, I'd be a woodworker.
I would love to make things out of wood.
I'd stand for time.
Is there money in wood?
No, of course not.
Maybe there is.
I don't know.
I'm not thinking about the money.
I'm just thinking about the beauty of having a well-polished, finished product.
There is some money in wood, because I remember the...
John's right.
You think a circular saw is safer?
Good point.
Well made.
Remember AA's conference, there was that architect, and he gave a very good speech, and there was one point where he mentioned that for traditionalist architecture, you need to get someone to hand-make those things.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
You see, that's what I'd love to do, man.
And they make a lot of money doing them, because it's skilled craft.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not going to do it, but it would be a lovely job to have.
Here's a block of wood, craft something out of it.
Yeah, okay.
I'm down.
I mean, this is one of the things I'm enjoying painting the 40k figures.
She's got those grey figures.
I can make this look nice, you know.
Like, the colour schemes are important.
Anyway.
Let's go to the next one.
I work as a sub-teacher when I'm not offshore.
One thing that's annoyed me more than it should have has been to see pupils thoughtlessly destroy the eraser they get for free by the school.
Later in the same day, you'll find them complaining of their lack of an eraser.
In contrast, all those who bring their own erasers never destroy them.
Then I realized how that's connected with the socialist mindset.
It's so easy to destroy something you haven't paid for and carelessly waste the things you just get handed to you.
Totally true.
Speaking of which, if that's you working, I wonder as well, there's a thing with chefs and knives.
The company doesn't like buying the knives because they're expensive.
So everyone buys their own, and you buy really good knives, and they're your bloody knives.
Anyone steals them, they get really, really mad about it.
Suddenly you're concerned about the property.
But they're also very fetishistic about it's their knife.
Watching people have food is also something I quite enjoy watching as well.
It's really weird.
Just like people doing things productive.
I just find it mesmerizing.
Next one.
In social justice philosophy, one of the main pillars seems to be that there is no objective truth.
Could it be that there is an objective truth, but all human beings are unreliable narrators, as we are all limited to the information we get and how we choose to interpret this information, as most information also comes from other human beings, whom are also unreliable narrators?
You should question everything you're told and everything you know.
Yeah, this is a philosophical position called...
Is it nominalism?
Sorry, I wasn't prepared for this.
What do you mean?
You're the one reading about it.
Yeah, but I haven't got it ready in my brain because I wasn't expecting this question.
But what you're suggesting is that each person is insubjective.
So everything is a subjective perspective.
And that implies that there is an outside objective world, but because we're all subjective...
have a limited access to it because of the coloring of our own sort of lens of experience and so yeah she's completely correct basically there definitely is an external world uh it's just that it our experiences of it are intersubjective i suppose you could argue that the only objective truths could be like mathematical truths things like that No, they're analytical truths, as in they're true by definition of the words.
So 2 plus 2 is 4 because of the words 2.
Ah, so it's not objective because you don't need to...
No, no.
Yeah, it's not objective.
Objective means in the world empirically outside of us, right?
But, I mean...
Because we're subjective beings, we can't really prove that we're not brains in jars and things like this.
So we just have to assume, well, it appears that there's a universe...
What if we make ourselves brains in jars, then one?
Yeah, exactly.
So we don't know, obviously.
And it depends on your standard of proof.
So basically, if you want something infallibly justified, that means it can never be untrue, which is...
Just an absurd standard.
Like, we can never be sure that we're not a brain in a jar, so we can't be sure that anything's infallibly proven.
And so you just have fallible standards of proof which are much more reasonable.
As in, you know, it might not be true, but it seems to be true that, you know, this table's made of wood or whatever, you know.
Stuff like this.
But yeah, she's not wrong, basically.
I've been reading a lot about truth, so I'll end it off to you.
Anyway, should we get into the comments?
Yeah, right.
S.H. Silver.
Sadiq Khan needs police protection, not because of his ethnicity or political views, but because he lives in London, which is unsafe because of his policies.
Henry says, it's nice to see Sadiq is honest, that it's different for him than it is for you, or using more loaded terms, one rule for me, another for thee.
Well, he is part of the aristocracy.
Going clubbing is different for me than it is for you.
Exactly.
That's a brutal critique, actually.
Christoph said she mirrored the video to make it seem like she was driving.
The media reported it as fact and later edited the articles to make it seem like she'd never claimed she was driving when she was called on Twitter.
Right, okay, thank you.
Because, yeah, she wasn't driving.
I knew it.
Student of History says...
Edward says, fun fact about Black Lives Matter, he did this when we were all locked up back for Christmas and London was moved to Tier 4.
I remember having to leave London in the middle of the night like I was escaping Moscow before Napoleon arrived.
It was a mixture of being funny and being rage-inducing.
John and Callum are currently arguing over the Dawn Butler video.
Yeah, it's not important.
No, it's not important.
Alpha says, Saudi Arabia is like ISIS after 100 years in power.
Yes, a bit calmer, more confident, but there's radical roots just below the surface.
No, that's exactly right.
Read about how the Saudi monarchy took over Saudi Arabia.
It's mad.
It was like in the 19th century or something, like 1817 or something.
But it's wild that it's just like full-on ISIS jihad.
It's crazy.
Alistair Crowley's...
Is it wild?
It's wild by the standards of today.
Which sounds of the West, I mean, for Arabs.
Well, yeah, okay, it's wild for us.
But Alistair Crowley says, the London TFL mask mandate is non-existent.
I'd say less than half the people wear masks, even the Rainbow Police don't enforce it.
Yeah, it's because they've got no authority to enforce it.
There's no mask mandate, so what are they drawing their authority from?
But you are right.
But again, it's a moral statement, isn't it?
Oh, I'm mandating this, but you can't.
Yeah, but I think we should.
You know, it's like, shut up.
But then he doesn't even follow it.
No, exactly.
David says, shock news, Khan the race crafter claims racism.
In other news, the sky's blue.
Free Will says, we must blast the filibuster, pass a For the People Act and take power forever.
I think at this point the hard left is being totally open about its wish to create a totalitarian state and its desire to destroy Western liberal democracy, past and present.
If any conservative doubts the intent of these people, watch the Labour Party conference and watch them openly discussing creating this people utopia.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think you can...
Just how big the plans that the left have are for these countries, our countries, and how much contempt and, again, I would say hatred they have for the right and the existing order.
I mean, it's demonstrable.
They say it.
Watch the clips.
Yeah, exactly.
I really hope in the break or something, you know, the conference, the Tory party conference, they just play some of those clips and just remind their own members what they're fighting against.
Yeah, which is basically why you have to adopt the Robert Conquest position of no detente with these lunatics.
You know, if a communist eats tonight, we've done a bad job.
Sorry, but he's not wrong.
And this is why Robert's Conquest is the goodest boy.
Tiber says, That's a good point as well.
I remember that clown.
He's a partisan...
I'm not going to say that.
But not a bright one either.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Chris says, Western normies need to understand that brown people have their own racists, and those racists are taking advantage of our ignorance of the world culture in order to manipulate well-meaning Westerners into thinking we are evil people.
As a woke person looking at an Indian man and a Pakistani man thinking the men are mad, at the woke person, it's true, the men are mad at the wokest, but they were fighting with each other for a long time.
Yeah, and that's a good point about, you know, other cultures have their own racists.
Definitely.
The grooming gangs are an example of that.
There are loads of Muslims who don't hate English people, but there are Muslims who hate English people, and they think it's fine to rape girls.
So, you know, not all, but there are some.
You know.
Sorry, I've got a common quote in my head that I can't say.
Okay.
White Hot Peppers.
Hey, dude.
She says, it's heartbreaking how far we've fallen as the West.
I guarantee that if you would have told anyone before the 80s how the West was behaving today, they would have thought we'd lost the Cold War.
That's true.
And honestly, we might have at this point, just not in the way we thought we were going to.
Yeah, unfortunately, the sort of poison of Marxism lives on, doesn't it?
Free Will says, Berko has only been in labor a short while and is already criticizing his new leader.
He's an unashamed opportunist who will turn on anyone if it suits him.
And by playing the reform criminal, he suggests that all current conservatively minded people are still criminal.
Exactly.
Berko is just hoping to avoid the gulag if he's contrite enough.
And nobody is contrite enough.
Free Will says, when they are starting with two minutes hate.
Adria says, I have a question.
If voting for the left is terrible for the average citizen and voting for the right is terrible for the average citizen and voting for any other party is useless, why are we still attached to this form of democracy?
Well, I mean, that's a good point and this is why I want to rethink the concept of universal suffrage.
We actually don't have universal suffrage.
Children can't vote.
Criminals can't vote.
So we don't have universal suffrage.
So the fact cracked open and now we can discuss what's actually in the middle.
Basically I'm saying that Labour voters shouldn't vote.
Anyway, moving on.
Am I wrong?
Do you know they had a 16-year-old up there?
I don't know if you saw that clip.
That was my favourite.
I knew you'd enjoy that.
I haven't finished the video before we had to do this, so I'll watch it afterwards.
She's like, I hate the Tories.
Thanks, kid.
Okay.
Who wants to listen to that?
I bet you hate bedtime as well.
Yeah, it's rough.
I hate when my parents don't give me dessert.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, God, we've all got to suffer.
We've got to cross this to bear.
Sorry to be rude, but her speech was especially poor.
You know, what were you expecting?
A 16-year-old, come on.
Anyway, Ariel Tolkien says, Berko is a one-man human centipede.
Christopher says, England needs to liberate London from the Blairites.
I think it's long too late for that.
Hammurabi says, My parents are trying to coerce me into getting the jab using CNN-style fear-mongering of how dangerous the coup can be, completely ignoring my concerns regarding it being untested and potentially more lethal than that which it purports to protect from.
In fact, didn't the study show that young men are more at risk than the vaccine than the virus?
That did happen, didn't it?
Depends on the age.
Yeah, young men, I said.
So like 16 to 24 or something.
I don't remember what age.
But it was, you know, children, basically.
Lately, we can't even have a conversation without devolving into a standoff or a screaming match.
I think it might be best to at least temporarily cut contact with them.
Before I do, can Carl give any daddest advice to Amy?
Right, okay, yeah.
Don't cut contact with your parents, right?
Even if it sucks, don't do it.
But reframe whatever you're doing, because obviously I don't have the exact details of conversations, but reframe it away from media narratives.
Reframe it in the sense of I, right?
Don't talk about objective facts outside of it.
Say, I feel like you're being very judgmental or that you're not taking my own autonomy into account or things like that.
I realize you are worried, but I... I'm also worried.
And, you know, frame it in human terms like that.
Don't talk about, like, you know, scientific facts or objective reality or whatever.
Talk about your own personal feelings and, like, how the way they're behaving to you is uncomfortable and is making you think about cutting contact and stuff like that.
Try and appeal to their human sentiments is what I'm saying.
But don't cut off contact with them.
them don't do that uh yunala says so far architecture is racist now because it's linked to colonialism can we say the roman coliseum is racist and needs to be taken down for its oppressive history these critical race theorists think everything they say is the gospel and must be taken seriously okay here's a thought if things connected to colonialism and presumably slavery are racist how did you get here mr khan Well, what's the black community in itself?
In America, the black community is the product of colonialism and slavery.
Also the black community in the UK does a sense of windrush.
Some of them, yeah.
As in the Caribbeans, you could say.
Mr Khan.
Yeah.
Not very native.
Are they racist?
If these are all colonial things we need to abolish?
I didn't set the rules, and I don't agree with them.
So the devs are like, we need to abolish black community.
Well, that's where their logic leads.
And like I said, I don't agree with them, but like, I mean, if we're abolishing things created by colonialism...
Just saying.
In fact, I nearly finished the critical race theory stuff, and this is something that they essentially skirt around in it, and it glares out because it's like, yeah, but your logic takes you to this point, and you're just like, yeah, so skipping over that, moving on, and it's like, but you admit that that's the case.
Also defining what blackness is.
Yeah, they never define blackness, but anyway, we're out of time thinking.
Or my bombshell.
