	Hello and welcome to the podcast The Lotus Seeders for the 9th of December 2021.
	I'm joined by Carl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about how the media is hiding all the important details about the Omicron variant, the conservative meltdown, and also the fact that everyone is opposing the lockdowns and increased measures.
	Apart from Keir Starmer.
	Yeah, him and Boris.
	Yeah.
	Two people on the country who agree.
	Everyone else is like, what the hell are you doing?
	How has that happened?
	The two leaders of the main political parties are on the same team against the entire country.
	Yeah, well, we'll see, won't we?
	Because we'll go through it.
	But some things to mention first on the website, as always.
	So the first thing here being the politics of Stargate, and you can sell this, because I don't know anything about Stargate.
	Yeah, I can't believe you've never seen Stargate.
	Nah.
	It's great.
	It's really good, and it's not military propaganda.
	No, it's really good, but it's got a kind of 90s political vibe to it.
	I like it.
	Okay.
	We're talking about red dwarfs all the time.
	Yes.
	Okay, the next one.
	So we have The Importance of the Family.
	This is an article by Hugo, which is on the website.
	I believe that one is free, so you can go and check that out.
	And then the last thing to mention being a video that you did about Mike Pompeo.
	It doesn't matter that socialism doesn't work.
	Yeah.
	He posted on Getter the other day, oh, I think left or right, we can both agree that socialism doesn't work, and it's just like, oh, God, that is such a tepid and, like, empty-headed take, and basically I'm explaining why that doesn't matter.
	It doesn't matter to us, and it doesn't matter to the socialists, that socialism doesn't work.
	Yeah, because if the guy turns up and says, actually, this time I found out it does work, so now we can do it.
	There are lots of reasons, but you can go watch the video to find out.
	Anyway, so, without further ado, we'll get into the details, because today is a big story, of course.
	So, the media, specifically the BBC, is deliberately hiding important details about the Omicron variant.
	Why they're doing this is up, of course, for anyone's guess, but my hunch is because they want to continually fearmonger us into accepting more government restrictions that we'll talk about later on in the podcast.
	But anyway, so let's go on about what we actually know from the credentialed organisations, such as the World Health Organisation.
	This is the latest update from them, which is on the 28th of November.
	who claim to basically know nothing about this at all.
	And maybe on the 20th of November, that was a credible position, but more information has come out since then.
	And so they're like, well, we don't know if it's more transmissible.
	We don't know if it's more dangerous.
	We don't know anything about anything.
	And so we can't really make any recommended changes.
	I mean, they're recommending changes are just like, well, it's a variant of concern for some reason.
	Why this variant and not any others?
	Because there have, of course, been dozens of different mutations of COVID. They're all around the world.
	But this particular one, for some reason, was a variant of concern.
	And they were just like, well, just do enhanced surveillance and sequencing of cases.
	It's all just science garbage, right?
	It's just like, oh, well, we'll just find it.
	Good.
	Okay, great.
	Go on with it.
	I don't mean to be so dismissed.
	Very long paragraph of saying, we'll look at it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, we'll try and figure something out, right?
	And countries should continue to just be safe from COVID. It's like, yeah, okay, everyone's doing their best.
	Got it, right.
	Okay, moving on.
	And so that's basically all they had to say.
	Apart from on December 3rd, they were like, well, maybe you should come out and close borders.
	And I'm like, okay, fine.
	That's the only way we can get our borders closed.
	Fine.
	You know, it's...
	We need to do this for COVID. COVID. Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That would be nice, but no.
	Obviously, you've got Tedros there who's a communist, so they're not in favour of closed borders.
	But this was according to a spokesperson, Christian Lindemeyer, who said the agency has no data on mortality linked to the newly detected Omicron variant yet.
	But they do think that border closures should be imposed to deal with the new variant.
	It's like, yeah, okay...
	So let's ask the doctor who discovered the Omicron variant.
	What do they think?
	Well, they think it was mild.
	Very mild.
	And this, as you can see by the Reuters reporting, on about the 27th to 28th of November, was widely promoted.
	This was widely publicised.
	So you can find articles on the Huffington Post, Reuters, a wide range of different media sources.
	New York Post, you've got a good range from left to right of people saying, well, the doctor says it's mild.
	Great.
	This was Dr.
	Angelique Coetzee, a private practitioner and chair of South African Medical Association.
	So, you know, a radical, fringe lunatic who knows nothing about the subject.
	She told Reuters that she had noticed seven patients in her clinic who had symptoms different from the Delta variant, albeit very mild.
	Most of them are very, very mild symptoms.
	None of them so far have been admitted to surgeries.
	We have been able to treat these patients conservatively at home.
	That's good news.
	Really good news.
	And so we can go on to, again, I have to use a lot of foreign reporting for this to get this information.
	Republic World, which is an Indian outlet, the Delta variant will give you a loss of smell and taste with the blocked and stuffy nose, fever, elevated pulse rate, and lower than normal oxygen.
	Whereas in Omicron, oxygen stays normal, very slight increased pulse rate, if any, no loss of smell, only a scratchy throat, and generally not feeling well for the day.
	Give you a cold.
	Give a cough.
	Is the death rate different?
	We'll get to that.
	So, just to head off at the pass, any allegations?
	Yeah, but it's putting more children in hospital.
	No, it's not.
	That's misreporting that the South African Medical Association came out and said, quote, the children who are being brought to hospital are being brought there for something else, and not because of Omicron.
	They are incidentally testing positive, as in, so it's just endemic in South Africa.
	Children go to hospital, test them.
	Oh, you've got COVID. Okay, but I'm here for a broken leg.
	Got more pressing matters.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm actually concerned about this.
	They say, there is hype around children which should not be there.
	The children are not more sick, more ill than the adult population.
	Again, says Dr.
	Angelique Coatesy.
	And so this...
	All seems to contrast with the leaked SAGE report that came out on the 1st of December.
	If we can get to the next one.
	Again, this is in the British Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, I think it is.
	The acronym for SAGE. That is staffed by people who seem to be communists, frankly.
	One of them an open communist.
	I haven't looked into the rest of them, but I'm sure if I did, I find more communists among them.
	Anyway, the official notes from the SAGE meeting, as this was reported in the Independent...
	Shared with the BBC warned, any significant reduction in protection against infection could result in a very large wave of infections.
	Why would that be bad?
	That's not a bad thing.
	Because you've got a very mild variant of the disease.
	You want people to get that, to be honest.
	Have a scratchy throat so you don't get the lung filling with mucus variant.
	Anyway, the stark warning added, this would in turn lead to a potentially higher number of hospitalisations, even with protection against severe disease being less affected.
	Okay, but where's the evidence for that?
	The evidence that they have at this point from South Africa is that there is no hospitalizations, that people are being treated at home.
	This is hysterical, fear-mongering.
	This is not accurate.
	Although SAGE scientists remain unsure how big a wave of Omicron infection might be, they warned that very stringent response measures may be needed by Boris Johnson's government to ease pressure on the NHS. Totally unfounded in reality, to the best of the information that we have at the moment, that I could find.
	Trying to be charitable, you could say it's a precautionary measure, but then as they're wording it, it might be necessary.
	Might as in, we'll look at the data and if it becomes true that it is, then we'll do the measures.
	But why emphasize that?
	When they're saying, we don't know, but we think it might kill everyone.
	It's like, yeah, but it's not killing everyone.
	We have the evidence.
	And so on the 4th of December, the day after this, the World Health Organization had to come out and say, well, I mean, no one's died of this.
	Like, literally no one has died.
	Let me go to the next one.
	No one has died from the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, as the strain has been detected in 38 countries, the World Health Organization has said.
	So 38 countries, I mean, the newest in Australia have been the latest countries to confirm locally transmitted cases, which brought South Africa's infections past 3 million.
	Three million people have been infected with this.
	Zero deaths.
	Love my zeros.
	Cases of ovules have been detected in Sri Lanka, South Korea, Malaysia.
	So this is getting around the world.
	And that's no bad thing.
	A non-lethal variant of COVID has been found.
	And it's very, very infectious, apparently.
	But we'll get to that in a minute.
	But that's just the same as saying, well, the cold, the common cold is very infectious.
	Yeah, it is, but it doesn't kill anyone.
	That's what the argument for any restrictions at any point was throughout all of this.
	There's danger.
	Overwhelm the hospitals and kill people.
	No, no, no.
	Overthrow the NHS. Come on.
	That's the next video.
	But that's the point.
	Exactly.
	None of the people in South Africa were treated in the hospital.
	They were treated conservatively at home.
	And so when Sajid Javid was asked about this on the 6th of December, how many people are even ill with this in the UK? Well, let's hear it.
	Sir Desmond Swain.
	How many of those who have tested positive in the UK are ill?
	The number of confirmed cases in the UK is 336.
	They are all by definition infected.
	Some may be asymptomatic, others will be feeling ill.
	None of them so far, as far as I am aware, have been hospitalised.
	Right.
	So they've only detected 300, but none of them are in hospital.
	There's going to be many more than that, obviously, just undetected.
	This is not hospitalising people.
	This is not a dangerous variant of COVID. Can we say that categorically?
	It's not as dangerous as any of the others, that's for sure.
	The amount is ridiculous.
	This hasn't killed anyone!
	Millions of infections and zero people have died.
	I think we can say that's not dangerous.
	Someone might get killed later on, and within 28 days of a positive test, and then we've got one.
	I've no idea.
	But anyway, one article from ABC7 speculated that this is because it's highly infectious.
	And if you can scroll down a bit there, a little bit more, there we go.
	See that related?
	Experts peg Omicron as the worst variant that we've yet come across.
	It's just not true.
	No, no, no, no.
	It is.
	It's terrible at killing people.
	Look at the title of this article.
	Look at the title of this article again.
	Go back up again, John.
	How severe is Omicron?
	Experts say 50 mutations could be its downfall.
	Sorry, what?
	If it mutates 50 more times, it can become way worse.
	This is a pro-Omicron article.
	Like, well, we thought this was going to be terrible and terrorise you, but it's not going to be.
	That's its downfall.
	ABC, we side with Omicron.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Especially I8. Yeah, exactly.
	We were hoping it would be really dangerous, but it's not, which sucks.
	But anyway, so the point is, it's highly transmissible because of the number of infections, apparently.
	Apparently, mutations of the spike protein.
	I don't know.
	I don't care.
	I'm not a scientist.
	I'm just going on what the evidence suggests.
	So anyway, even, you know, research doctors who are just like, look, you know, this guy has got like 8,000 citations.
	He's a really, really well-known doctor in his field.
	And he's just like, why is there so much panic created on the Omicron variant as this is causing only severe body pain for 72 hours and a sore throat?
	No loss of smell or pneumonia.
	It could be a perfect chance to get complete herd and natural immunity by the variant with very little danger.
	And even the vicar of science thinks this is encouraging.
	Even Fauci is like, well, thus far, it doesn't look like there's a great degree of severity to it.
	Great.
	Fantastic.
	This is the best news we have had about COVID so far, hands down, bar none.
	Putin came out and said, well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
	They say it's not that virulent.
	Some specialists even call it a live vaccine.
	Good news.
	That's praising it, right?
	That is praising the Omicron variant as being non-lethal to humans and giving us antibodies against COVID. Fantastic.
	Does the BBC mention any of this in its reporting?
	Why would they?
	Exactly.
	Why would they?
	Let's go to James Gallagher's article on this, which I see there.
	As you can see, you can at James T. Gallagher on Twitter if you'd like to talk to him about this.
	He advertises his at there.
	He's the health and science correspondent for the BBC, and either he is wildly incompetent or he is deliberately lying to you by omission.
	Which one do you think it is, Callum?
	I guess we'll read the article and then we'll have a guess.
	But I've got my prejudices.
	Right, so as you can see, how big a threat is Omicron?
	Here are two big questions.
	How fast can it spread and how sick will it make you?
	That's really important.
	Okay.
	And don't get me wrong, to improve the hysterical fear-mongering narrative, well, we're going to say it spreads a lot.
	It spreads a lot.
	I mean, look at this, right?
	The second part of that question...
	We'll get to that.
	You don't need to know about that, okay?
	We'll get to it.
	So the scientists around the world are now making the first stabs at answering those questions and giving us hints at what is in store.
	Yeah, and they've already come out publicly and said it all.
	If I could find it, I'm guessing that James Gallagher could have found it.
	So how quickly is it spreading?
	Well, the answer is just fast.
	Be afraid.
	It's coming to you.
	It's at your door already.
	So you hear that?
	It's there!
	It's the Omicron variant.
	Run!
	Hide!
	Right?
	So we move on to the question, will I catch it and will I get ill?
	Good question, James.
	Studies have suggested a 20 to 40-fold reduction in the ability of the antibodies from vaccinations from the double vaccinated people to take out the virus.
	Right, okay, so if you're vaccinated, it's not going to be very effective against the virus, says the BBC. God, that sounds terrible.
	That sounds awful.
	I'm going to have the sniffles.
	But you don't know that because they don't tell you that.
	But then came the good news.
	Experiments by Pfizer-BioNTech have shown a third dose massively boost levels of neutralizing antibodies.
	Oh, is that the good news, is it?
	That's the good news.
	That's convenient.
	But that's the good news.
	The good news isn't, this won't kill you.
	The good news isn't, nobody has died from this, says the World Health Organization.
	The good news is, you won't even go to hospital when you've got this.
	You'll get a day off work because you'll have the sniffles.
	The good news is, third dose.
	We'll put lots of money in Pfizer.
	Yeah, Pfizer gets to earn more money.
	Brilliant.
	He must have stock in Pfizer or something.
	This is unbelievable.
	They suggest that three doses fare as well against the Omicron as two doses did against the original variant, which is very good.
	Oh, fantastic.
	Let's get expert opinion on this, shall we?
	Not the doctor who, you know, encountered it, first studied it, or any of the other information about it, but any of the other...
	Or the World Health Organization or any of the other credentialed experts that have been researching this.
	No, we get a Professor Eleanor Riley from the University of Edinburgh, I'm sure that she's received no donations from any vaccination companies here, who describe the data as reassuring, and this suggests a booster could provide high levels of protection against infection and severe disease.
	How?
	There is no severe disease with the Omicron.
	That's not true.
	There is no severe disease with the Omicron.
	That's what the evidence thus far says.
	Millions of people have had it.
	Zero people appear to have gone to hospital.
	But if you get your booster, you won't get that serious disease.
	Good point.
	If you also don't get the booster, you won't get it.
	That doesn't matter.
	Get the booster and you definitely won't, 100%.
	Absolutely.
	And yet James here says, we still don't have clear answers about how severe an Omicron infection is.
	I think we do.
	I think we actually do.
	But it will take monitoring who ends up in hospital to fully understand how severe the disease caused by Omicron is.
	Well, good fucking luck with that, James, because zero people are in hospital with it!
	It's very weaselly words.
	Like, if you were a scientist reading something, you'd say, this is what the data shows, and therefore, you know, you could ask for more evidence, would help us better understand it, that's usually what people put.
	Instead, just saying, no, we have no idea.
	It's like, well, no, you have to, you do.
	You've got data, and then you can say, well, we might need more, but...
	Why not just say that?
	Literally, the health secretary, Sajid Javid, has been like, there are zero people in hospital with this, and he's like, well, it'll take monitoring of who ends up in hospital to fully understand how severe it is.
	Okay, how do you do that if there's no one in hospital?
	Why do you not mention that?
	Why are you lying?
	He's got you there.
	But it's a massive lie by omission.
	Look, Carl, we have no idea how many people are going to end up in hospital because none have gone in yet.
	Yeah, but we can't say how severe it is.
	A year from now.
	Unbelievable, right?
	Not one mention of zero deaths or zero hospitalisations in the UK. Not one mention of the doctors who are talking about it.
	Only people...
	A professor in Edinburgh...
	What does she know about this?
	Nothing.
	The on-the-ground doctor is not cited.
	Even though I could probably have found, like, you know, they could have cited the Reuters article on her.
	There was probably a BBC article on the 27th.
	Yeah, but she didn't say get the boost.
	This person said get the boost.
	Exactly!
	Right?
	Just mentions of vaccines, as if that's the thing, right?
	And that's not the only BBC report on this, this is just the most recent.
	Yesterday I was watching their live coverage before Boris did his press conference that we'll talk about in a minute, and not once, if you scroll down on this, right, this was just a screen grab I took of this sort of live update.
	Look at all those mentions of Omicron.
	Nothing about the mildness of it, or the lack of deaths from it, or anything like that.
	Not one mention.
	Why not?
	Because they don't want you to know.
	That's why.
	They're deliberately...
	Nick Triggle, the health correspondent...
	Is that a fake name?
	It sounds like a fake name, but James Gallagher as well.
	Right, the BBC's health corresponding department are deliberately omitting this information.
	I don't believe for a second they don't have access to this information.
	I believe that they're deliberately lying to you, right?
	And so we'll get to the next one.
	Again, the fear mongering carries on.
	This was Chris Whitty's, again, from the live feed that I was just clipping from.
	Chris Whitty going, well, the hospital numbers could rise.
	What?
	They're not because of the Omicron variant.
	Zero people in hospital, Whitty.
	You weird genetic abnormality.
	Who is using this for the attention he gets from nowhere else, obviously.
	For Christ's sake.
	There's literally no one in hospital with this variant.
	He's like, well, hospital numbers could rise.
	Or they could go down.
	He's like, he's stood there with like a crowbar.
	He's like, they could rise.
	You don't get your shots.
	The hospital numbers are going up.
	They might rise, I suppose.
	But then an asteroid might hit the Earth and...
	Crack open the crust and dinosaurs might come out and eat the entire human race.
	Like maybe these things could happen, but is it likely?
	And given how there are zero people, like even in South Africa, we treated them at home.
	There was no point in them coming to the hospital.
	It wasn't, oh God, I'm so angry about this.
	They're deliberately lying to you.
	Right.
	And, okay, well, we're worried about the NHS being overrun.
	Well, what percentage of NHS hospital beds are currently in use from COVID patients?
	Not Omicron ones, obviously, but just Delta and other ones.
	Omicron ones because it's zero.
	Yeah, love my zeros, right?
	But if we go to the next one, this is a report for The Telegraph.
	4%.
	Witty lying.
	Yeah, he is.
	Lying through his weirdly malformed mouth.
	I'm absolutely sick of these lies, right?
	And of course, other professors are just like, well, hang on, you are distracting from the real health issues, which is something like, you know, they've got an estimate of like 50,000 people who've got undiagnosed cancers and various other problems that are real problems that are really hurting people that are actually lethal.
	Unlike the Omicron variant that aren't killing people.
	The previous government interference made a huge backlog.
	Yes.
	Because all healthcare in this country is socialized, in which case public backlog has to be dealt with.
	Yes.
	So no, we'll do more government interference.
	Yep.
	And it's like, okay, well then, why is it that the World Health Organization is also like, well, by the way, the vaccines should work against the Omicron variant too?
	So what, are we 89% vaccinated now?
	What's the percentage?
	Do you remember?
	We'll get into it in a minute.
	I think it is 89.
	Yeah, it's like 89% of this country has had at least one dose of the vaccine.
	We can go to the next one.
	World Health Organization said, well, the vaccines are working, Omicron.
	Stop worrying.
	Why aren't we listening to that?
	Do we really care about that?
	I mean, obviously we get it in this BBC article because it's promoting vaccines.
	There is literally nothing to fit.
	You could always get another shot.
	Yeah, I guess you could.
	Pfizer needs those second bloody yachts, or probably fifth yachts at this point.
	But yeah, so they say that, look, the vaccine should work.
	Great.
	So, are passports justified?
	Are, you know, COVID passports, is that now justified?
	Because the NHS has had this on their books since October this year, where they've been planning to give you, you know, everyone's going to have to get this NHS COVID pass to get into venues and whatnot.
	Where's the evidence for this?
	We can go to the Spectator article.
	Like, literally, this is a great article.
	It's just like, where's the evidence?
	So, five points, six points.
	The ONS revealed that 95% of over-16s of antibodies, so almost everyone now has had some exposure to COVID, The UK, of course, leads Europe in the booster rollout.
	Homeworking won't have a large effect, says previous SAGE evidence.
	And even if Britain had more vaccine refusenix, there's no evidence that coercive passports make a difference.
	True.
	And South African figures suggest that Omicron is a milder illness, as in nobody's died from it or even been in the hospital from it.
	Why would vaccine passports be justified?
	It's really stressing me out.
	The obvious transparent lies.
	Like, it's so crystal clear.
	Because none of this is secret evidence.
	Like, none of it, you know, I didn't go to, like, you know, 4chan or Gab or some, you know, the dark areas of the internet.
	But like, yeah, so there was a secret super-censored study done by a doctor who's now, like, working from a base on Mars who has found that there's, you know, this...
	No, it was in Reuters.
	It was widely reported.
	The doctor herself is just like, yeah, this is all overblown.
	The West's response to this is totally unproportionate to the problem.
	There is no problem.
	In fact, there seems to be a boon that the Omicron is so mild and so transmissible, meaning that everyone is going to end up with COVID. I mean, we're almost 95%.
	Yeah, I didn't know that figure.
	95% of the public have had the antibodies, or at least have the antibodies.
	Yeah, so have been exposed to COVID, either having a proper infection or Asymptomatic infection.
	So there's no problem here.
	There is literally no problem.
	There is no reason for the government to do anything.
	If anything, this would be good grounds to say, oh, well, great, lift all restrictions completely.
	We don't need any restrictions because this hyper-transmission, in the same way the Delta variant displaced the other previous variants, this is going to displace the Delta variant that's already happening, which is why they go, oh, well, you know, there's exponential growth.
	Good.
	I hope it does.
	I hope we all get this variant of it because we're all surviving it.
	Rather than the Delta one.
	Exactly.
	We're all going to survive this variant and then come out immune on the other side of it.
	But of course, that's not exactly good for Pfizer or AstraZeneca's bank accounts, is it?
	So, you know.
	I hate the media.
	Speaking of...
	Sorry, I know I was really annoyed about all this, but I was just so infuriated watching it.
	Yeah, you were speaking about how mad you were last night.
	Anyway, but speaking of why they're doing this, so yesterday we covered the beginning of the end of Boris Johnson, and I really do believe that that is correct if he does not end up Resigning over all this than he will over something else and this being a contributing factor.
	And so the people who might not remember, this footage, or at least this lady here, was caught on footage in a test interview in which she was laughing and trying to joke up about how would I lie about the fact that we were having a party when everyone else was in lockdown.
	That was caught on camera and then released to the public and made her look a tit.
	And it turned out they had a bunch of parties, didn't they?
	Yes, so of course she came out and cried.
	Sorry, just to interrupt.
	Weird how that question came up, isn't it?
	Like, we're doing testing, see if you'd be any good.
	Or do you lie about if it came out that we had a bunch of parties that we're obviously not going to have?
	But like she clearly knew in the club as well.
	Exactly, they all knew.
	Yeah.
	So, and then she came out and cried, and who believes it is the thing on my mind, of course, because BS. I mean, come on, we've all seen how these people operate at the level they do.
	I mean, from the tape itself, these people are kind of lizard humans, where they think that lying to the public constantly is just a laugh.
	Well, they don't really think of the public as people.
	They think of the public as statistics.
	Yeah, or she's also a former smear merchant, so don't care.
	Used to work for the Guardian.
	Got what she deserved.
	BBC, ITV, and then ITV exposed her, so...
	I've got no sympathy whatsoever.
	Smear merchant or smear merchant violence.
	I mean, who am I going to side with?
	No one.
	Get the popcorn.
	Anyway, so she came out and I presume some smear merchant called her up and said, you're going to go out there and cry like you've ever cried before.
	And she did.
	And that's that.
	But anyway, moving on from that.
	So, I did like this response from Tell Feature.
	Can't wait for her leaving party.
	That's going to be fun.
	That's a very good response.
	Very witty.
	Anyway, moving on.
	So, there was the defence of the Christmas party and the other parties that it was legal under the Coronavirus Act because the government is exempt because they're a public body.
	Turns out there's also another legal defence that they could pull in court, which is the Public Health Act 1984, in which there is a Crown land exemption, Crown properties, and if a Crown property is a government department as well, then they're also exempt from...
	I love how all of the rules don't apply to them, but they do apply to us.
	Yeah, so on a legal basis.
	So the traditional thing to do would be make an exemption for yourself and then go by the law anyway, but nah, just break the law, why not?
	And then just be like, loophole, get lost.
	Anyway, but speaking of Her Majesty...
	Even then, just sorry to interrupt, but imagine the optics on that.
	Of course.
	I mean, talk about losing moral authority.
	But to lose it even harder.
	Yes.
	Speaking of Her Majesty crown properties being exempt, she didn't.
	Everyone remember this.
	Good point.
	I mean, this is the thing that sort of gets me, which is like, so we'll get into a minute, because Boris has doubled down in response to being caught out.
	Everyone in this country, I mean, for foreigners maybe who don't get the level of this, everyone saw the funeral of Prince Philip.
	And the Queen's wife of, what, 60 years?
	Husband of 60 years?
	On her own, family had to be at the other side of the abbey, in which she was not allowed to be with them.
	And, you know, Jesus Christ.
	That's awful, yeah.
	You can think of awful things to do to a person.
	She had to do that live on TV and go through all of that, and everyone saw it.
	The entire world is watching Prince Philip's funeral and she's on her own because of coronavirus.
	Couldn't even be comforted by her son.
	And yeah, so that's her.
	And then you've got Boris and the lads in number 10 having a few pints, which, yeah, I don't think you could get a worse optics situation.
	That's because it's just so terrible.
	It's so awful.
	It's honestly so terrible.
	But you would think that, this is why I said yesterday, I said that, well, they're not going to do the right thing, but I didn't expect them to do this.
	I was actually shocked that they doubled down.
	Well, I think that the right thing, as I was saying to you yesterday, would just be to come out and Chad going, yeah, you're right, the lockdowns are wrong.
	Omicron's not a problem.
	Let's get rid of all this and get back to normal.
	Yeah, that could have been a saving grace.
	He would have got some support from that.
	Well, he would have got a huge upswell of support.
	Instead, he decided to make everyone hate him, because if we go to the next one, we left off with the news being that there were three parties, not one.
	So, already looking terrible.
	It turns out it gets worse.
	So, if we go to the next one, we have Carrie Johnson did host a flat party with several of her closest allies when in the UK was in lockdown.
	The Telegraph has the names of the guests, but won't release them.
	I can't believe it.
	I wonder why.
	Anyway, if we go to the next one, it turns out the Daily Mail have also been given these names.
	Oh, and they're not releasing them either.
	Also suppressing names.
	So the Telegraph and the Daily Mail had journalists at these parties.
	Yeah, come on.
	Like, the smear merchants, we're hanging out.
	Prove me wrong.
	Sue me if you like.
	If we're wrong, just release the names.
	Yeah.
	Release them.
	We'll go through it in court.
	And don't scrub any of them, if they work at the Mail or the Telegraph.
	Anyway, so there's that.
	But if we carry on, so if we go to the next one, we have Dominic Cummings says the most senior journalists in the country are alleged to have been at the party.
	And Dominic being the man who is leaking all of this...
	Yes, Dominic clearly protecting himself while he was in number 10.
	Just collect all that evidence, Dominic.
	And you can tell that this is a very planned series of bombshells that he's dropping.
	And I'm loving it.
	Yeah, I'm loving it.
	I can't wait to see what comes out next week, to be honest.
	So Dominic saying there as well, the reason they're not releasing it is because their names are on it.
	And I'm more inclined to believe him than anyone else in this situation.
	So let's keep going as well, which is there was a snap poll done about all this, this situation.
	Over half the country said the bar should resign.
	It's that bad.
	A third of conservative voters also said he should resign.
	That's pretty awful for the incumbent prime minister.
	A third of your own supporters are like, you need to step down, mate.
	Not even this is a bit bad, but no, you need to go.
	I mean, this is reaching Joe Biden levels of unpopularity with your own party.
	Yes, overnight as well.
	Yeah, over one day.
	You know, the straw that broke the camel's back, essentially, but it is a pretty big straw.
	Anyway, so also, I mentioned party attendees said they should also...
	People said the party attendees should also resign.
	But if we go to the next one, there's also the other part of the poll in which 80% of the country said they felt let down over the whole thing.
	So just to get a sense of how much disappointment...
	And just to be clear, he pitched it, look, we're all in this together, we're all going to do our part, you know, sort of wartime, bulldog spirit, okay?
	And then it's like you're just partying in number ten.
	One thing you had to do.
	Not throw a party.
	Three.
	Anyway, so if we go to the next one, we have...
	A Tory source has suggested that Cressida Dick will not investigate Boris Johnson's lockdown party to return the favour for not being sacked.
	That's right, because she should have been sacked.
	And that would have been the right thing to do, considering she's...
	What was it she'd done again...
	Oh, she was under fire for a lot of things.
	I mean, the fact that she's a wokest made everyone on the right hate her.
	She then sent the officers in to apply the law in the Sarah Everard vigil.
	That's right, yeah.
	And, well, the laws can't apply.
	There was something...
	Corruption and stuff like that.
	But yeah, she definitely should have been fired.
	Yeah, but everyone hates her on political scene is what I get at.
	And she was kept in there by Boris.
	Weird.
	Well, I guess he knew this was coming.
	Well, we know, because now we have the next link here, which is that the police have said that they're not going to investigate the party as it's retrospective.
	Right, that's very interesting, because all crimes are fucking retrospective.
	Including the ones the police are investigating, such as Christmas parties last year.
	You can't investigate a future crime!
	No, but also, if we go to the next one, as Keir Starmer made the point, the CPS is currently prosecuting many people for hosting parties in the same period.
	But not Boris.
	There are plebs currently being prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service, but not Boris Johnson or the people intending that party.
	Could it be any more clear-cut?
	No.
	There is no logic to this.
	It is pure political power.
	I mean, that statement, oh, we're not investigating because it's retrospective, you literally, it's impossible to investigate a crime that hasn't happened yet.
	Sure, and that's some logical arguments, but you can see blatantly by the facts of they are investigating plebs who do this, but not politicians.
	That they do investigate retrospective parties.
	Whatever their statement was, you might as well have just played white noise.
	It means as much.
	They're just saying no.
	Anyway, so if we go to the next one, we have, of course, no, it was four parties.
	There were four now.
	Okay.
	Boris Johnson attended and spoke at a leaving due for one of his advisors.
	The drinking session was more than 30 people and was on November the 27th, where the rest of the UK was in lockdown.
	Fourth.
	We're on the fourth party now.
	Four.
	We had one.
	And I thought we went from one, and that was enough for everyone to be like, what the hell's wrong with you?
	And then we went to two, then three, now we're on four.
	There's also a fifth.
	If we go to the next one, party number five.
	December the 14th, 25 people had a bash in the conservative HQ, including the PM's top team.
	We're at party number five now.
	If there's a sixth, I don't know.
	The thing is, right, this would all have been not an issue in any way, shape, or form if Boris had come out and done the British thing and said, the government does not have the authority to lock you in your goddamn homes.
	Yeah.
	But we're well beyond that.
	Magna Carta.
	Bill of Rights.
	You know, this is the English tradition going back a thousand years.
	We do not have this level of tyranny in England, and therefore we're doing nothing about this sort of thing.
	You make your own decisions, because you're the people of this country, and you imbue us with the authority.
	They could have had all the parties they wanted, and this would not be a problem.
	Yeah.
	We don't care about the parties.
	No, we don't care.
	I could have parties.
	I don't care.
	Have parties.
	Drink.
	Meet friends.
	Make merry.
	Don't lock me in my home.
	And then have a party.
	Yes.
	Well, no, I don't care about the party afterwards, really.
	I don't want to be locked in my home.
	But the manifest hypocrisy.
	The tyrant that does the tyranny and the other just says, but not for me.
	Yeah.
	That's bad as well.
	But anyway, there is a sixth party, in case you want to come, of course, which is on Facebook.
	Christmas rave at number 10 Downing Street, and at the time I'd noted, I think it was 600,000 people are going, so they can't stop us all, boys.
	Well, that's a good point, actually.
	They can't.
	Oh, boy.
	Yeah, so that's something to go and check out.
	But that's the level of also interest in this whole situation, because, of course, the entire country was affected by this policy.
	So you can't say, oh, it's only a third of the country who care or something.
	No, everyone cares about this.
	Yes.
	And that's why it's such a big issue.
	Not just, oh, he broke the rules and then he can try and sweep it under the carpet.
	Not going to happen.
	You did this to everyone when you shouldn't have done anything to anyone.
	Yeah, also, if you're coming to this party, apparently it's very liberal parties with MPs.
	Oh yes, I forgot all about that!
	Yeah, so at the same time, all of this comes out, there's also a story that comes out about Parliament, traces of cocaine found in the UK Parliament, including near Boris Johnson's office.
	But this was because it came on the heels of them saying, we're going to be cracking down on middle-class drug use.
	Yeah, Boris was out trying to act tough with the police, and then immediately came out that he had been breaking his own lockdown rules, which, police officers, don't look at me.
	And then also, there's loads of drugs in the pipe, please don't look at me!
	Why do this, though?
	Why come out and be like, we're against middle-class druggies, like, yeah, but there's drugs all over your office.
	Yeah, the details in here, drug detection wipes found traces of cocaine in 11 out of the 12 bathrooms tested.
	Do you remember, like, six months ago, a year ago, something like that, all the conservatives were kind of going, well, I've done drugs, ha ha ha.
	Yeah, when Rory came out and was like, I've done opium in Afghanistan.
	But a bunch of them were like, yeah, we've...
	Didn't Michael Gove say he did cocaine?
	Yeah, something like that.
	They all came out as if it was cool and edgy, and it's like, okay, we've all done drugs.
	Shut up.
	But, like, why make a big deal out of it?
	Again, if you had done nothing.
	Like, when they came out and said it, nobody cared.
	Everyone was just like...
	Okay, losers.
	You know, and just got on with the day.
	If you'd not come out and go, right, we're going to get tough on drug use, what, this bunch of drug users are going to get tough on drug use, aren't they?
	I mean, not the people I put in charge of policing drug use.
	But also, just what's going on at these parties, is with my mind.
	Of course, obviously, right?
	Obviously, they're taking loads of drugs.
	Don't even need to mention it.
	The point is, if they'd done nothing, this wouldn't be a scandal.
	But it's not even like a one-off, but I love how it's not even just like a few of them take drugs.
	It's 11 out of the 12 bathrooms tested.
	Tested positive for cocaine.
	Cool.
	It's just like...
	So they also said the bathrooms tested, including some only accessible to those who hold parliamentary passes, including lawmakers, staffers, and journos.
	So the journos are in there with them.
	There were some quotes from a source who said that, yeah, they were with them as a journo, and the MPs were showing off to the journos that they would do lines of coke, and they seemed to get a power rush from it.
	Of course they did.
	And it's just like, what's wrong with you people?
	And the thing is, no one would care.
	No one would care about this if you hadn't turned around and gone, yeah, so we're going to crack down on middle-class druggies.
	If you just skipped that part, it would have been like, MPs say they use drugs, there's druggies found a thing, and everyone would be like, there's druggies found my own bathroom, what do you want?
	You know?
	That's what they would have said.
	They also said that cannabis was openly used in the premises, so if you're there, Snoop Dogg's visiting.
	Did you hear about Snoop Dogg when he went to the White House to visit Trump?
	No.
	He smoked in the bathroom because he just wanted to.
	So apparently if you visit Westminster as well, they're very accommodating.
	But this is the point.
	It only matters because they're being hypocritical about it.
	If they did nothing about this, no one would care about any of it.
	Speaking of hypocritical, so you get found breaking the lockdown rules.
	So what do you do?
	Okay, there's two rules.
	You could turn around and be like, actually, okay, yeah, it's all bollocks and we don't care about them by our own actions.
	Therefore, we won't enforce it on you.
	We'll take it back.
	Or you just say nothing, which is the typical politician thing to do.
	Just ignore the story.
	Try and talk about something else.
	Boris doubled down and came out with Plan B, as it is labeled.
	So this is him saying we need to have a national conversation about mandatory vaccines.
	Okay, I'll be quick.
	No.
	That's how you think we go.
	Let's play the clip.
	I do think that we're going to have to have a conversation about ways in which we deal with this pandemic, because I want to be absolutely clear with you, I don't believe we can keep going indefinitely with non-pharmaceutical interventions, I mean restrictions on people's way of life, Just because a substantial proportion of the population still, sadly, has not got vaccinated.
	And I think we're going to need to have a national conversation about the way forward.
	Everyone's had COVID, you prat.
	I mean, it just doesn't make any statistical sense.
	95% of people have had COVID. I mean, forgetting the moral argument of enforcing vaccines on people, and also the practical argument of that's what made the anti-vax movement initially, so why would you want to do that again?
	But whatever.
	So then we also just have the data on the government's website, and as you mentioned, 89% have had the first dose, 81% have had a second dose, 37% have had a third dose, I don't know, fourth doses.
	And somehow there are still COVID people in the country.
	And that's of age 12 plus, remember.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, see?
	Percentage of population age 12 and up.
	So that's also including, you know, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 year olds.
	So you're not even, you know, the elderly, everyone, everyone who's at risk has had the bloody thing.
	I haven't even had a test.
	But even of those who have had it, one in six are confirmed to have had the virus by their own statistics.
	That's another 13% of the population.
	Well, 95% have got the antibodies.
	And then 95% have got the antibodies.
	And then we've got this mild version that doesn't even put you in hospital.
	And you're sat there saying, I can't continue to have these non-pharmaceutical conditions.
	Sorry, the restrictions you are putting in because of the people who are un-vaxxed and don't have the vaccine.
	But the vaccinated spread the disease.
	But they're not the ones doing it, dum-dum.
	You are.
	Harry and I are going to record a podcast on this.
	Half the people who are dying of COVID are vaccinated at this point.
	Yeah, well, that's, you know, with so many people being vaccinated.
	Exactly.
	Big shook.
	Exactly.
	It's not even a criticism of the vaccine.
	But it's just the other point of being like, he's saying, I am being forced to do this because of the unvaccinated.
	No.
	You're being forced to do this because Pfizer are like, we paid you, Boris.
	It's your decision.
	And you can look at the data for yourself, and trying to say that it's because people haven't had interactions with the virus and therefore don't have the immunity is just statistically wrong.
	Who's got the strings on you?
	Anyway.
	Who's got the strings?
	And there was a very funny part of that speech, conference, whatever you want to call it, in which, if we go to the next one, he said, people should work from home, but should have office Christmas parties.
	It's like he's mocking us.
	Yeah, it is.
	This is what I mean by the doubling down is probably the worst thing he could have done, but then to also take the piss out of the public whilst you're doubling down.
	Again, the correct response would have been to come out and be like, you know what, you are right.
	We shouldn't have done the party, but then we shouldn't have had any restrictions.
	All restrictions are over.
	Carry on with your lives.
	Have a good day.
	I don't know how you look more of a prick.
	I'm sorry to be cursed, but it's just like, you know, the hell is wrong with you?
	Moving on.
	So we'll get to the other information about this, which is, of course, as politics for all decided to put out, the government was announcing these restrictions just as hospitalisations were going down as well, which doesn't make any sense.
	Doesn't even matter because 4% of people are beds occupied by COVID patients, so that's nothing.
	Shut up.
	One more prediction also did come true.
	I said yesterday that no matter what he comes out with, if he doubled down, as the joke I said, then the Labour Party would turn around and be like, government me harder, daddy.
	They did.
	So if we go to the next one, this was their initial response, that Labour will support the COVID rules he's bringing.
	Oh, opposition.
	Opposition.
	Oh, God, I hate the Labour Party so much.
	The Labour opposition over there decided to support the Canadian Courage rules.
	No, they didn't stop there.
	They decided to go further.
	So we go to the next one.
	We just have...
	They said the rules aren't going far enough.
	That's literally the meme.
	Literally, in this office, there's just a meme of whatever the Conservatives say they're going to say.
	The Labour Party just come out and go, it's not enough.
	We want you to go further.
	And literally...
	Govern me harder, Daddy.
	Oh, God.
	And they did come out with that.
	That was their statement.
	Look at that.
	Even the follow-back pro-Europe person at the bottom, for the love of Zeus, this will never end until we the people decide it does.
	The patronising middle-aged lockdown enthusiasts can stay at home forever if that's what we want, but I'm not playing anymore.
	Even the Remainers, who are pro-lockdown, pro-all of this stuff, are like, okay, this has gone too far.
	This is a beautiful moment in British politics, and we'll get into, in the third segment especially...
	The right and the left, as in the pleb right and left, have all actually agreed on this point, which is just, they're definitely taking us for a ride.
	It took the left a little while to get there.
	Yesterday, on my Facebook page, I ironically shared an article by Owen Jones.
	Because it was correct.
	Feeling alright?
	Not really, I'm a bit weird.
	But for the first time ever, Owen Jones has said something that I can just sign off on.
	Yes, you are right.
	They are taking the piss out of us.
	Yes, and we can see Keir Starmer taking the piss out of us first hand here in his tweet in which he responded to it by saying that he welcomes the restrictions.
	God!
	How has it come to this where literally everyone in the country, apart from Keir Starmer and Boris Johnson, the leaders of the two major parties, Are an agreement against everyone else.
	I mean, loads of Conservative MPs are against these people, but...
	We'll get to that in a minute.
	How is it literally everyone in the country opposes this, apart from Keir Starmer and Boris Johnson?
	And they just happen to be at the top of these two parties.
	And for some reason, the British public have got a pathological genetic aversion to voting for either, you know, you've got to be the Labour and the Conservatives.
	Well, last time around, you know, there was the Brexit vote.
	Sure.
	It was the getting Brexit done.
	But you notice that whenever it's, oh, the Conservatives are dipping the polling, why?
	Because the Liberal Party are going up.
	I don't want to be too mean because, I mean, who else do you vote for at the moment?
	There are plenty of small good parties out there, and I won't have time to name them all, but there's no unified opposition, let's say, because all the rest of them in Parliament will agree.
	I'm so angry about this.
	Evident by his statement here, saying, I welcome stronger measures to protect people from COVID. Who?
	Who?
	Doesn't say.
	But Boris Johnson's recent actions have undermined public trust.
	Serious times call for serious leadership.
	I agree with Boris Johnson.
	I just hate Boris Johnson.
	Shut up, Keir.
	Serious times call for serious leadership.
	Me, the opposition, agrees with the government on everything.
	But you should choose me over the government.
	But I am a serious opposition.
	I didn't have a party in 10 Downey Street because I wasn't invited.
	They're taking the piss.
	They're just taking the piss.
	Totally.
	All of this.
	All of this is just them pissing in our face very frankly.
	Anyway, let's move on.
	I'm absolutely sick of it.
	I'm sorry.
	It's just so stupid.
	No, I just...
	This is just such an embarrassment.
	And again, all of this could have been prevented if they just did nothing.
	They just held to the principal position with the government.
	We're not like the sultan of this country.
	I'm the prime minister.
	You know, I'm part of a tradition and this tradition forbids me from shutting down your businesses.
	Like, for a start, forbids me from containing you to your homes.
	If they'd just done that, none of this would be happening, and Boris would be on a big wave of success, and it would just be the insufferable, follow-back pro-Europe, you know, Corbynite, Remainer types, who'd be whinging in the corner, everyone's like, shut up, losers.
	You know, but no, instead, the Conservative government is tottering.
	Anyway...
	Everyone is against these COVID restrictions that Boris has recently announced, and this is another set of restrictions that were recently announced, beginning of December, where, for some reason, because of what was the Omicron variant, in fact it was, the non-lethal Omicron variant, which I think we can scientifically say is non-lethal, given how zero people have died from it, The Omicron variant was announced.
	It's like, okay, great.
	What's that mean?
	Oh, you're going to have to wear masks in supermarkets.
	And the supermarkets are like, no, we're not enforcing that.
	A, we're not the police.
	And B, our staff are getting abuse from this.
	Like, you know, we don't want to be abused by people that you're making do something they really don't want to do.
	And so Co-op Lil and Iceland are all just like, uh, yeah.
	And the thing is, I've been into Tesco's and Sainsbury's since no one's...
	I mean, I'm not wearing a mask.
	I don't have a mask, and no one has asked me for a mask.
	I don't even get dirty looks out of people.
	No, also the security guards just can't be bothered.
	Best of luck to them.
	I might turn out to be some lunatic who'd start hurling abuse at people, you know?
	Maybe.
	But anyway, so...
	Have you heard of Magna Carta?
	Yes.
	I look forward to the phone page.
	Poor Indian security guard's just like, what are you talking about?
	I don't understand Latin.
	But yeah, so Lidl said, no, the responsibility for enforcing this comes to the authorities.
	So basically same as Co-op and Iceland.
	And so good.
	Good.
	You know, that was nice.
	And I've seen this enforced nowhere, to be honest.
	So that's good.
	And...
	I'd say about two-thirds of people have been wearing the mask, but I have seen about a third of people just not, which is excellent.
	That's just in Swindon.
	Let me know how it is around your areas.
	Anyway, moving on.
	So, good morning Britain, side of the light, right?
	Okay, we need to start ginning up this narrative that we're going to have to have mandatory vaccinations.
	And so, let's just start seeding it.
	Do you think we should have mandatory vaccinations?
	Let's see how the public feel about it.
	Well, it turned out that literally 90% of their own audience told them to get bent.
	89% said no.
	And so Good Morning Britain deleted it because it looked really bad.
	And so a bunch of other people asked their audiences, talk radio, were like, "How do you guys feel about it?" And 94% no for just COVID restrictions.
	They didn't ask about mandatory vaccines.
	But I posted on- There you know, there's 71% support for whatever the government's doing today.
	This isn't- According to YouGov.
	So anyway, if we go to the next one, I posted on our YouTube channel, you know, poll, what do you guys think?
	Are you going to comply with the government's Plan B and out of the people who responded who lived in Britain?
	Because obviously I wanted to make the distinction.
	90% said no.
	90 plus percent, in fact.
	And 4%, well, like 10% said yes.
	So there we go.
	People are not complying with this, it seems.
	People are not interested in this.
	This is the other beautiful aspect of him announcing more restrictions.
	Because he's broken his own rules, no one cares.
	There's no reason for anyone to do it.
	No.
	No one's enforcing any of this.
	No one's complying with any of this.
	Just carry on with your lives.
	That is how the public feel.
	That is how the public feel, and the businesses.
	And so you can see now a good amount of rounding from the entire sort of politically aware class, just turning on Boris Johnson's government and saying, no.
	GB News, again, like, the reason that I'm using GB News as an example is because it's significant.
	There would be a pro-conservative, pro-patriotic outlet who just turned around and be like, no, we're being gaslit by our own government, says Patrick Christus.
	There have been numerous times throughout this pandemic where I thought our governments and others around the world have behaved very strangely.
	Yeah, it really makes you think, doesn't it?
	And then you get the other side of it, Bristol.
	Very left-wing area.
	Bristol Twitter.
	Can you imagine what that sounds like?
	Just screeching about Corbyn?
	Yes.
	Yes, exactly what it is.
	But the hashtag, wewillnotcomply, was trending on Twitter after Plan B restrictions were confirmed.
	People raged across the country, apparently.
	Well, I mean, they probably did.
	But you get to see a bunch of left-wingy type tweets from this one.
	But the point is, there was massive numbers of people complaining.
	And there was even a protest outside of Parliament.
	Of course, there was no reporting at all on this protest.
	This was from...
	Can you scroll down so we can see the YouTube channel?
	I don't want to go without promoting them because they were there and on the scene.
	Is it not loading?
	No, can you just scroll down?
	Because this is a live chat.
	So, real news.
	There are 700 subscribers.
	But they were there outside of Parliament and you can see there's only like, you know, probably like 100 people or something like that.
	But at least there were protests out there and good for those people because it was cold and they had to do it on the spur so they just went down there.
	Good for them.
	But anyway, yeah, so that was the immediate thing.
	What happened after?
	So what happened after is the politicking.
	So this has been kind of beautiful, and as I mentioned, it is a beautiful moment to see all the plebs align, which is that all of us have finally come to the conclusion I took the left longer than the right on this one to say bugger off.
	But also the MPs are all coming out of their shells.
	Oh, good.
	So they're all coming out with their little knives, being like, yeah, time to stab Caesar, because he's gone mad.
	And, well, they're probably right on that, aren't they?
	So this is the first example.
	So this is after, I mean, they started noticing immediately, even in the chamber, where the wind is blowing on this.
	And you can see some guy who came out and said, very few will be convinced of this diversionary tactic, in which he says that Boris Johnson coming out and doubling down is him trying to divert attention.
	Was that a conservative MP who said that?
	Yes.
	Oof.
	Yeah, your own bench behind you, already standing up and being like, you're a bellend.
	You got absolutely busted, not following the rules you set that you didn't have to set, and everyone can see that you're doing this to try and change the narrative in order to get away from that.
	Yeah, so then he buggered off because it's Prime Minister's question.
	But also, and I love this as well, right?
	Okay, fair, right?
	From Boris's perspective, yeah, okay, you've just been caught, it looks stupid, you look terrible.
	Everyone in the country is angry at you on a moral level.
	What are you going to do?
	You're going to morally inflame them even more by pissing them all off.
	Yeah.
	If you'd come out and be like, right, so I'm announcing a new bank holiday, blah, blah, blah, something like that, it would have been at least positive.
	No, here's punishment.
	He might be the stupidest politician.
	I don't know if he had any other outs.
	Who's advising him?
	Just as a political move, removing all morality at all.
	Are you a dunce?
	Yeah.
	Like, why would you do this?
	Who's advising him?
	Whatever.
	So anyway, his own backbench already...
	What would Dominic Cummings have done, Boris?
	He wouldn't have done this!
	No, Dominic Cummings would have done great things.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so he's in Premiers' questions, and even then he's getting shouted at, and then he leaves, and they do the Borders Bill, and that passes, and then they have to have a jab it up to talk about the new health restrictions, because he's the health minister.
	Good luck, Sam.
	If we go to the next one, apparently the response from the Commons...
	Tory MPs are shouting resign at Savage Javid for announcing COVID restrictions.
	Solidarity comrades!
	He spent months trying to appease them, but in the end he's been forced to pick a side, and he picked the side of tyranny.
	And the Tory MPs are all just shouting at him.
	And, well, they're doing it openly.
	I mean, that's not nothing.
	No, that's massive.
	I mean, Sajid is obviously desperate to remain in the cabinet or something.
	Yeah.
	And all your backbenchers are just like, you, sick of your nonsense.
	Anyway, so if we go on, we have all of them now, as they all got drunk yesterday and then came out.
	And Savage Javid getting drunk, I presume, at another party.
	And then just was like, I'm not doing...
	But did they actually get drunk?
	Oh, they always do.
	What else do you do?
	I'm just checking.
	I'm just checking.
	It wasn't just a joke.
	Anyway, so Savage Avid went out and I presume had the fifth party, sixth party, whatever he was up to, and then decided he wasn't going to do any media today or yesterday.
	He was just like, I'm not doing it.
	No.
	Oh, I wonder why.
	I wonder why.
	Just the absolute grilling.
	And nothing would have come out of it that would have been good either.
	He was going to go on Julia Hartley Brewer's show, and she had prepared a whole bunch of questions.
	I bet she's been solid as a rock on this.
	She's very, very good.
	And yeah, she even did a little bit where she was like, I was going to ask him this, this, and this.
	I wonder why he didn't want to come.
	Anyway, so there's that.
	But if we move on, we have all the MPs, and I have to go through some of these, because they've all now, you know, maybe the ones who weren't brave enough to shout out then, they've all gone and met their friends, had a discussion with all the other friends on their WhatsApp chats, or having a pint, and been like, yeah, okay, yeah, Boris is in.
	Yes.
	And we don't need to back him, and anyone who backs him is going to look a fool, so...
	Yeah, this isn't going to end well.
	So let's go through some of the people who have gone out against him.
	And we have this one, Angela Richardson, MP. I can categorically...
	I can say categorically that compulsory vaccinations are a step too far.
	That is my contribution to the national conversation.
	Okay, Angela, and next...
	I'm not going to vote for it.
	Passports are a step too far, and lockdowns are a step too far.
	Let's take the principle under which you're operating there and actually extend it to where it should be.
	But that's her saying she's not going to vote for the bill.
	It is, it is.
	Because the bill's up for the vote on Tuesday.
	Yes, it is.
	But, you know, I'm just annoyed that that's, oh, that's where I stop.
	No, it stops way back, way past where you are.
	Anyway.
	So moving on, we have the other MPs.
	So we've got Mark Harper here saying, from the Patterson case to the Christmas parties, the credibility of those at the very top has been seriously damaged.
	Why should people listen to the Prime Minister's instructions to follow the rules when people inside number 10 would not do so?
	No to plan B. See, now this is interesting, because I'm wondering if the sort of based backbenchers are looking at this and being like, right, okay, there seems to be an avenue opening up to overthrowing Boris's entire cabinet.
	Regime change, as Dominic Cummings called it.
	And putting in our own based MPs.
	That's a positive vision for the future, which I'm sure the party will bugger up, because it's the party.
	Yes, of course.
	But anyway, some hope for...
	Maybe.
	Chaos is a ladder, that's all I'm saying.
	Yeah, yeah, chaos is a ladder.
	So there's another MP who came out and was just like, no.
	And then we have Steve Baker here, who also did his thing.
	I don't know who makes his tweets.
	Oh, Steve Baker finally said something.
	I don't trust that he ever writes his own tweets because of the emojis.
	Yeah.
	Whenever someone on Twitter uses emojis like this, it's just, that's an intern in my mind.
	Anyway, so, fist.
	It is vital that the maximum number of Conservative MPs vote against Plan B, whatever our useless opposition do.
	LAUGHTER He's right on that.
	But what I love about this is the Conservative backbench have got to appeal to their opposition to do what they want done.
	Sure.
	They can't appeal to the party leadership.
	But this does happen on a lot of cases.
	If you want to oppose the government, you have to get the other guys.
	Sure, sure, sure.
	But the point is they're sat there decrying the fact the opposition is going along with the government.
	Yeah, the opposition is useless as well.
	The opposition is like, we won't vote for it because it doesn't go far enough!
	It's like, Jesus Christ.
	Anyway, so this is Steve Baker saying he's going to not back this stuff as well.
	Steve, we're a socialist party baker.
	Proud libertarian.
	So moving on, we have another chap here.
	So this is Ben Bradley, the based Ben Bradley, who said, I said I would not vote for vaccine passports, which I believe are ineffective and discriminatory.
	I... Also, cannot vote for restrictions just in case at a time when hospitalisations and deaths are falling.
	I don't believe the evidence supports Plan B and I won't vote for it.
	King.
	Absolutely excellent.
	Ben Bradley is gold.
	I left him an angry message on Instagram last night because I was furious.
	I was like, that's good, Ben, but what about the rest of it?
	You need to calm.
	I know, but I'm really angry about all this.
	This is all terrible.
	I know, but MPs can only do what MPs can do.
	They're not ministers or prime ministers, so there's that to keep in mind.
	I'm saying, well, what did Brutus do, Ben?
	What?
	The core of a Mickey position.
	Just get some gin in it.
	Brendan Clark-Smith, who seems to be a good guy as well.
	Oh, he's fantastic.
	We've covered him previously.
	Who also retweeted Ben Bridley and said, I fully support this.
	I agree with it.
	I'm not supporting the propaganda.
	Proposals.
	Love Julie Halliburton.
	Yes, good, get him!
	Julie is just like, yes, yes, yes, yes!
	But you can see, just lining up again and again and again.
	And these are just the ones I found this morning.
	I mean, there are loads not on Twitter and whatnot as well.
	We're just like, the hell with this.
	I'm not some weirdo.
	And also, Boris is going down.
	So let's go to the next one, in which we have more.
	So this is a chap who isn't on Twitter.
	Good for him.
	And he went on Sky News instead to say that to deliberately mislead the House, if that turned out to be the case, would be a resignation matter.
	Ooh.
	Because Boris had come into the house and said, categorically, there wasn't a party.
	But also, if there was, we all followed the rules.
	We socially distanced.
	But it was like, if there wasn't one, you wouldn't have to say the next bit.
	Yes, exactly.
	So if you have misled the house, we need to get rid of you.
	And it seems that that's the case.
	Again, another MP lining up with the knife.
	Go to the next one.
	So we have more of this.
	So we have this other lady who says she's long opposed to the vaccine passport.
	Not going to vote for it.
	Not going to support it.
	Again, good.
	Then we go to the next one.
	There's just again and again and again.
	Just more and more and more.
	That's right.
	That's what I want to see.
	Savage Arvid has offered no evidence for further restrictions or plan B. Not voting for this crap.
	Get stuffed.
	Simple as.
	From Mark Jenkinson.
	Finally, the Conservative Party is wide awake and has a will of its own!
	We move to the next one.
	There's another guy.
	There's Dr.
	Ben Spencer.
	He's just like, nope.
	Not doing this.
	National conversation?
	No.
	No, no, no.
	As you can see.
	Yeah, that's just it.
	That's the answer.
	And that's what there's going to be across the board, Boris.
	Don't know why you thought that was a wise thing to say.
	Oh, they're doing it in Austria?
	Yeah, I bet they're doing it.
	Oh, the Germans are doing it.
	That's a reason not to do it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's like, what are they doing right?
	We'll do the opposite.
	That's the right thing to do.
	Then we go to the next one as well.
	We have even more.
	So we have another MP who's just like, new.
	And these are all conservatives, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Not going to bother reading the text because we get the point.
	At this point.
	And then, so I think that's the last of the MPs.
	We go to the last one here.
	This is an MP who didn't see where the winds are blowing, and a few days ago tried to go on Question Time to defend Boris.
	And if any MPs watching, or any MP staff who are watching, and you want to advise your chap, this is what is going to happen to an MP who defends Boris and tries to defend him in this instance, which is the following clip.
	Let's play.
	Yes or no?
	And we weren't allowed workplace parties either.
	And I've been reassured that all guidance was carefully followed as it continued.
	Does that answer your question?
	No.
	Do you want another go, Meg?
	Lag.
	My answer's not going to change, because the guidance was followed as the Prime Minister...
	But that must mean that there wasn't a party then, because the guidance was no Christmas parties.
	There was a party.
	Whatever the event was, then the guidance was followed.
	There was an event.
	I gather that whatever people...
	I mean, and also this has been just rumour and hearsay.
	And yeah...
	Embarrassing.
	If you're an MP, like her for example, what's she been given?
	Some minister came to her and said, oh I'll give you a reassurance that all the guidance was followed but there wasn't a party.
	Right, that sentence doesn't work on a logical level, so that's not going to work in public, as was just demonstrated there.
	But also, who cares?
	If they come to you and they give you an insurance, and now you want me to go on TV, like a slam to the slaughter, and be made a prat in front of the entire country.
	Sajid Javid isn't going on TV. No, he can do it.
	Boris could do it.
	It's his responsibility.
	And he's not.
	So why the hell should I? Boris dodging responsibility.
	What a shock.
	Yeah, but that's the response, as you can see from the previous MPs, where we've all just had that thought, and gone, yeah, no, I'm not going to shoot myself in the head in my political career, because this moron couldn't just not party for five minutes, because his wife's like, I'm bored, Boris, let's have a party!
	Listen, bitch, I've literally shut the country down, the answer's no!
	It's not enough, Boris.
	She gets up and...
	Oh, you're not going to have sex tonight, then?
	Oh, God.
	Anyway, so moving on, that's what is going to happen to MPs as they try this.
	You can also see some ministers are starting to realise that this is bad.
	And this is where it gets good.
	Because there is an earthquake happening here.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is why we're spending so much time on the stories, because this may very well be the beginning of the end, as I said yesterday, and is now becoming the end.
	So you can see Rishi Sunak, Kwasi, sorry, and Liz Truss all raised concerns about the new measures.
	Right.
	Three cabinet ministers.
	Yeah, even his own cabinet members are just like, um, Boris.
	We're getting messages from MPs constantly being like, no, we're not defending you.
	And we're getting hate mail in our inboxes of people threatening, and the police are like, well, we sent them.
	Yeah.
	But again, as I mentioned, the beautiful thing is that everyone has come to an agreement, which is he's got his plan A, which was to enforce masks, and then plan B, which is to enforce vaccines, and there is plan C. Has Mr.
	Neville figured out?
	Ignore him.
	Based.
	I mean, yeah, Gary Neville.
	Yeah, what?
	How am I... Have we ended up on the same team, Brian?
	Gary Neville is an insufferable ex-footballer turned woke activist.
	Yeah.
	How have I just said based to him?
	He's based now.
	That's how bad things have gone.
	That's how much Boris has effed up.
	Yeah, and of course there's an agreement with Lawrence Fox who, if we go to the next one, is just him saying new in a big long way.
	New, go to hell, hashtag do not comply.
	As was trending and was mentioned.
	And the cherry on the cake is that this is five parties, six parties, we don't even know at this point that we're legal.
	And there was also just recently another party at the home office, presumably for Christmas or who cares.
	And at the same time all this came out, what came out is that someone at that party tested positive.
	So if we go to this one, someone has tested positive for COVID who attended the Home Office Bash last night.
	No great surprise, 95% of people have tested or would test positive.
	I know, but it's just, you know, you couldn't get a better alignment of the cocaine staff, the parties.
	He doubles down on restrictions.
	I mean, like, it's bad news after bad news after bad news that makes him look like the worst person in politics.
	Idiot.
	I mean, if this isn't the beginning and the end, I don't know what it is.
	So anyway, we'll move to the video comments.
	And again, just all of this could have been avoided by doing nothing.
	Just do the right thing.
	It's not a hard life to live.
	Not even the right thing.
	Do nothing.
	Take no action.
	Be like, it's not my job.
	Carry on with your lives.
	Okay, so the segment you guys had on the New Zealand, I think it was Native Traditions, got me thinking.
	They normally don't Like ancient religious traditions or ways of looking at the world.
	So I wonder what the age of consent in their tradition is.
	At least when it comes to us Christians, they hate us.
	But then again, we're also anti-Pido, so that's usually why.
	Didn't come up.
	I'm not familiar with the context.
	So Mataranga is a native knowledge system to New Zealand of Maori.
	Is this like the shaman?
	Essentially, yeah.
	And it's like a thick ethical concept, right?
	So it's about how to live your life as a Maori, and it also incorporates understandings of the sky deities, and the rain is caused by the tears of a sky god, and the river god has an opinion, and the tree god does this, and the tree god created mankind, and And so he says, don't eat these berries because they're poisonous.
	And it's like local knowledge, right?
	And it's at once like moral, like ethical knowledge, practical knowledge, cultural knowledge.
	And the New Zealand scientists are like, yeah, that's a science.
	And everyone's like, no, it's not.
	And so they're like, yeah, it is, and it's going to be taught in schools, alongside science, as the equivalent to science.
	Right.
	So the question was, well, what's their scientific view on the age of consent, then?
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's probably not great.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Please check it out.
	I hate reading, so I'm going to give that to Carl to do.
	These thirty-second book clubs aren't just a flight of fancy for me, but sincere recommendations of books I think my fellow Lotus Eaters would benefit by reading.
	So, whenever someone recommends a book, I will take the time to at least look it up, even if I may choose not to read it.
	Accordingly, I would like to thank George Matthew for this recommendation, as the poem is short, eminently readable, and is kipling on devastating and pithy form.
	So I'm sure I have read this a few years ago.
	Because now you're big into Kipling, too.
	Yeah, I like Kipling, too.
	I have read this a few years ago, and I do recall it being quite a devastating critique, but I can't remember the details.
	However, I will do something, and I will get it sorted, so next week we'll do that.
	Right, yep.
	Am I going a little crazy?
	Dude, I haven't even touched upon all the political shite actually going on in this country.
	They are really pushing the vaccine.
	All the children down to the age of five ought to be vaccinated before December ends.
	We had a press conference today where a little girl was asking the Prime Minister questions.
	Ma'am, ma'am, if all the adults were only vaccinated, then would the children have to?
	Yes, little girl.
	If all the adults were vaccinated, it would still be a good idea if the children were to.
	What?
	Send us a clip.
	I would have seen that.
	What the...
	Well, it would be in Danish.
	Yeah, but still, we had some subtitles, but it's just sick.
	It's insufferable, isn't it?
	No, but we've had the research.
	We've mentioned that the UK government said, what was it, under 12?
	It just becomes more risky than positive.
	Yes, the vaccine is more risk to the child than COVID is.
	Why five?
	Because those Pfizer execs need them yachts, Callum!
	Then make it zero!
	At birth, stick a needle in it.
	Why not?
	Give it shots for other things.
	I mean...
	Well, I mean, let's be fair, the way that the goalposts continue moving, do you think it won't get there?
	Well, it's going to get its measles, mumps, and rubella.
	I mean, why not COVID? I mean, why not we risk it COVID? Because those vaccines don't reduce population.
	Honestly, it's hard to refute the conspiracy theories these days.
	Since Calum kind of asked me to elaborate on the whole thing with speaking different languages, so...
	In English, my thinking becomes much more liberal, much more...
	Exactly?
	Lotus-eater style, in a sense.
	You can say, every time I speak Russian, I start making communist jokes, I'm not kidding, just because of how I'm used to use the language, and I become much more totalitarian and much more of think less and do what you're told, kind of.
	I'm taking that approach much more.
	And then I also speak Georgian, and then I just become an asshole.
	Yeah, it makes about as much sense as I was expecting.
	I'm telling you, man, the way you think is informed by the structure of your language.
	Yeah, I know you have a lot of thoughts on this.
	I do.
	We'll go through it at some point.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, thanks for getting back to me because I had my bets and that's how I was kind of expecting.
	I didn't know about the Georgian thing, but...
	I mean, it's literally about the semantic prescriptions that are created by the organization of the way that words appear in the sentences and the focus on what is created by the position it is in the sentence.
	But we'll do a premium podcast on that or something.
	Begin the next one.
	Tony D and Little Joan with a ghost story of North New Jersey.
	This one is located at South Plainfield at a strip club known as Liquid Assets.
	Supposedly is haunted by a mafia hitman known as Mad Dog who apparently died there.
	He shows up on security cameras, moves stuff around.
	It made the strip club incredibly famous, but unfortunately it was shut down in 2014 after a shooting and turned into a seafood restaurant.
	No word yet if Mad Dog likes clams.
	I love these stories.
	There's so many jokes there.
	Okay.
	Are strip clubs popular?
	Like, I've never been to one.
	I don't really understand the point in them.
	Because it's just like...
	I've been to one, no, two strip clubs, right?
	The first one was because a female friend of mine, we're all out drunk, and she was like, oh, we can get more beers in here.
	And it's like, you want to go there, don't you?
	And she, for some reason, wants to go.
	But, like...
	And then the second one was my friend's bachelor party, and I hated it because obviously the women there are trying to get you to pay for dances, and I'm really tight-fisted, right?
	And so...
	Or you're haggling with them!
	No, no, not haggling, because that implies I might give them some money, and the service is just they dance naked, and I'm like, yeah, but I have a phone, and look at these women compared to you, sort of thing, right?
	I didn't say that, but that was what I was thinking.
	Oh, imagine if you did.
	Yeah, well, I did.
	But the point is, I instead went out and just, you know, stood there smoking outside talking to the bouncers.
	And I was like, what do people do?
	And he was like, I don't know.
	I think it's a massive waste of money.
	It's a huge waste of money.
	My friend had a great time and he spent like hundreds of quid.
	And I'm like, do you have a concern?
	I was like, yeah, I had a wonderful time.
	I was like, okay.
	Yeah, but why?
	Well, I mean, it's good.
	I'm glad he had fun.
	But like, I really think strip clubs are a massive waste of money.
	But that's why I'm saying, like, why?
	Like, it's like when people, like, I went to the horses once with my brother, and he used to enjoy it, and I was just like, I'm not getting any enjoyment out of this.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Whatsoever.
	I'm the same with any gambling as well, just like, I just lost some money.
	But anyway.
	Anyway, if you want to check out the clams of North New Jersey, that's what they are.
	Let's go to the next one.
	People who watch the Daily said that her work was beautiful.
	She was someone who was loved by everyone who worked with and liked by everyone who worked with and admired.
	But in America, there's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears, particularly in male ideas.
	White men can get away with that, too.
	And it has the same effect.
	Even as the right tries to politicize the idea that masculinity is being robbed from American men by multiculturalism and wokeism, they still want to be able to have their tears.
	But admired by everybody who, um...
	Who worked with her?
	He's obviously faking it.
	Yeah, but there's also, you can actually see her going after Alec Baldwin if Alec Baldwin tomorrow came out and said something that they didn't like.
	They would turn on a dime.
	Speaking of which, was it Chris Cuomo?
	Has recently been fired from CNN. Yeah.
	I don't know anyone who might know him or have a contact with him, but I'm thinking in my mind, if there's one guy who's going to spill the beans and will know a lot of the skeletons in the closet, someone offer him a book deal.
	Like, screw it.
	That would be good, but I don't think he's getting it.
	Yeah.
	Someone, if anyone knows anyone who runs like that, like Douglas Murray's publisher or something, send him a message.
	Screw it.
	What's the worst that could happen?
	I'll send back and be like, "F off." But, you know, if you get it, you could probably get a lot of skeletons out of that, that's what I'm saying.
	Anyway, for the next one.
	I've decided to use clips of me playing Total War Attila as a backdrop for my future videos.
	And yes, I am playing as Bella Cyrus.
	Oh, Australia is slowly coming out of lockdowns and we have been told by the PM that come December the 15th there will be no more restrictions which includes COVID passports.
	I find it ironic that we are going out of lockdowns but Britain is coming into them.
	I do hope that the UK don't go as extreme with the restrictions as we did.
	Don't worry, we're not going into a lockdown.
	Because no one's going to comply with it.
	That's true.
	That's fair.
	Also, I love the idea of video comments being video game footage.
	Yeah.
	Makes me want to play Total War now.
	Anyway, George says, regarding a unicorn variant, as predicted, yet another made-in-China product shows its lack of durability.
	Yep.
	Although this one wasn't made in China, it was made in South Africa, but never mind.
	Russ says, I found it funny when it comes to Omicron.
	It's almost like viruses try to evolve so they're best suited to surviving in their host environment and spreading themselves further.
	Death tends to make it both hard for a virus.
	Let's hope Omicron proves to be the zero death speed run ending to COVID that I've had enough of governments using the word pandemic to their own ends.
	Yeah, I mean, I completely agree.
	And I think that's probably fair from an evolutionary perspective.
	Free Will says...
	That's correct.
	Well...
	Does it, though?
	What are the problems?
	What do you mean?
	The parties.
	Oh.
	But does it?
	Because it seems to all kind of be bound up in it.
	Yeah, that's why I don't agree with that idea, because it all interlinks, and it all builds on top of each other, and it's all bad news that makes it worse.
	In fact, yeah, the problem is it joins the same narrative.
	Now you're lying about the Omicron thing, and you're using the Omicron as an excuse, where that's not valid, and you shouldn't have done that anyway.
	But even if you're like, oh yes, Omicron, very scary, therefore lockdown, but also parties...
	Yeah, exactly.
	It all contradicts each other.
	Yeah, but it all joins the same narrative of them looking effing incompetent.
	Anthony says, if the details about Omicron are true and it only has mild symptoms, we should let it rip and get this pandemic over with.
	This is good news.
	Yes, yes, that's exactly right.
	It seems that from all of the information that according to the World Health Organization themselves, like, yeah, zero deaths, then great.
	Alex says, the vaccine is literally more deadly than Omicron.
	That's correct.
	You can go and look at our What's Behind All of These Heart Attacks podcast, or the follow-up that me and Harry are going to do.
	But also, Alex Baldwin is more deadly than Omicron, as the meme going around has pointed out correctly.
	Kevin Fox says, I'm sure it's just coincidence that as people have begun to find out the truth about just how non-lethal the original COVID virus was, we suddenly got Delta.
	Now, as people are deciding that since double-vaxxed are getting the same as non-vaxxed, There's no point vaxxing and risking heart problems, and we suddenly get Omicron.
	To be honest, I don't think they skipped New and Z as name choices, not to upset China, but because Omicron sounds more dangerous.
	Well, I have no idea.
	I think it's honestly to skip Z, frankly.
	Yeah.
	Also, Omicron, to me, just reminds me of Futurama.
	It's like Omicron, Perseille, or whatever, where the aliens come from.
	Yeah.
	Student of History says, so when do you guys pull the band-aid and give that chemi lady the top spot?
	She's not a high enough minister to get enough clout to be prime minister, I don't think.
	Yet.
	Yet.
	You know, one day.
	Absolutely.
	She's probably got a knife hidden behind her back.
	She's the only one I actually trust to be able to see the situation and think of what the right thing is.
	Liz Truss seems pretty good.
	Yeah, but there are some complications with her that make me wonder if it's going to be a Boris situation.
	I think we talked about before, she used to be a Liberal Democrat, for example, and then she became a Conservative MP, done her thing.
	I mean, she's been solid on stuff, but again, there's the occasional thing, like, at the Conservative Party conference, she went to the LGBTQ Conservative thing with Boris.
	I was like, why?
	Why?
	Yes, they need to be removed from the party.
	Free Will says, again, don't forget, though...
	So is barbarian when it comes to politics.
	You're like, one transgression, die!
	Well, no.
	Communist Advocacy Group.
	Why are you in the Conservatives?
	Oh, I thought you meant Liz Trost being...
	Oh, no, no, no.
	The LGBT. Right, right.
	Coalition.
	Intersectionism cannot belong within a conservative movement.
	You are either conservative or you are communist.
	You can't be a mix of both.
	Don't forget that expecting our so-called betters to follow the same rules as the rest of us plebs is probably some kind of white supremacy.
	They would say that, but the conservatives are meant to be not communists, so they won't level that charge against us.
	And Free Will again says, Sadly, the entire establishment is a write-off.
	They have their own agenda, they think we are dross, and it is only when they get caught with a hand in the cookie jar that they express any form of surprise.
	This may not save Boris Johnson, though, as he forgot the old adage.
	Not sure.
	If you supper the devil, use a very long spoon.
	Unfortunately, the alternatives are not very promising either.
	Starmer could deliver us into the arms of a European super-state, or Corbyn could deliver us into the hands of Karl Marx.
	Yeah, Starmer is awful on this.
	I just can't believe anyone in Labour is like, he's our guy.
	The lizard people are.
	Well, yeah, the lizard people are.
	You know, someone who watched all of Labour Party conferences.
	There are the socialists, and as cringe and stupid as they are, they are respectably consistent.
	They're consistently...
	Yeah, yeah, at least they're not lizard people.
	They're consistently, yes.
	But the lizard people are just like, there's nothing about them that's here.
	The Blairites.
	They're just, yeah, Boris Johnson's great, but he's Boris Johnson, therefore I oppose him.
	Did you see Emily Thornberry was out there trying to make statements about us?
	How are you still in politics?
	Danny says, she's not crying because she did something wrong, she's crying because she got caught and got shot at as the scapegoat.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Baron Von Warhawk says, Boris the Unready and his goons.
	Yeah, I love that, Boris the Unready.
	And his goons will never ease up on these tyrannical laws because that would mean they were wrong.
	These people would rather burn the country to the ground than swallow their pride and admit they were wrong.
	I know, it's mad, isn't it?
	It's just...
	Again, you didn't have to do any of this.
	Any of this at all.
	Anyway, Edward Braxton says, Just got my hair cut because they've said they will outright refuse to close up if we go into a lockdown and not enforce vaccine passports if they end up having another business.
	Have said the same here in West Yorkshire.
	Fantastic.
	Again, let us know where you are and what the feeling on the ground is there.
	Because, I mean, no one here seems to be paying too much attention to it.
	Robert says, Can Boris not follow logic over mandatory VACs to save the NHS? We should mandate that there should now be no more smoking or alcohol or sugary foods because it would save the NHS. Yeah, did you see, um...
	Who's that fat prat from LBC? There are a few.
	Okay, name one.
	Nick?
	Nick Fry.
	That was the fat prat I was talking about.
	Where he posted about, oh, well, to save the NHS, we've tried the carrot, now we need to try the stick.
	It's like, sit down before you keel over from heart disease, you fat wanker.
	He's got more weight than he should do, but he's not the most fat person.
	He's huge!
	I saw Richard twice retweet it and also said that.
	And he was just like, you know, okay, so what about fat people?
	Should they start paying more?
	And then Nick retweeted that and was like, you know, offended.
	So he's called him an anti-vaxxer.
	Shut up, fatty!
	And then Tice retweeted him calling him an anti-vaxxer and was just like, yeah, whatever, fatso.
	Exactly!
	Get on, Richard Tice, because that's exactly it.
	And you know that, like, you know, Fat-related, you know, cardiovascular diseases and all this are going to claim way more lives.
	Well, there are also the people dying from COVID. Yes.
	It's a huge risk factor, which is why Joe Rapids lose weight.
	Exactly.
	And so being massively overweight is a huge detriment to the NHS. And so the absolute gall of them to be like, How can you damage the NHS like this?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Put the pie down.
	Anyway, yeah.
	So, how about mandating gentle exercise for everyone because save the NHS? But now, imagine you've done some sports and got an injury with a broken leg.
	Should we mandate no more sports to save the NHS? How far do we take this?
	Well, I mean, I think we should return to abolishing the NHS, frankly.
	Yeah, I think if the...
	I'm sick of being held hostage by it.
	You know, there's always been a slight movement in the right in this country to fix that.
	And it's never really gone anywhere because it was always just seen as...
	It was never that bad.
	It was seen as okay.
	But now it's become a visible enemy in everyone's life, essentially.
	I mean, if there's a time for it, it's post-COVID. Did I tell you, my wife had to go to hospital the other day, and they were, like, bitching and moaning about the fact that she wanted to bring our one-year-old.
	They were like, oh, you might spread COVID. Yeah.
	Well, why wouldn't you?
	And they're all standing around, like, unmasked, in the hospital.
	And it's just like...
	They just don't want you in there.
	Exactly.
	You're just using this as an excuse to do no work, because you get paid anyway.
	That's why.
	You know, also, it's not working.
	I mean, I mentioned to you the other day, there was some lady who tried to kill herself around the corner, called the ambulance, took, like, ten minutes to get through, had to end up being redirected to, like, Midlands Ambulance Service.
	So it's just like, okay, if this was someone dying, they were already dead, but whatever.
	And then got the details, um, 40 minutes later, still no ambulance.
	I mean, it's meant to be eight minutes response to him.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And so we ended up getting a member of public who was able to take her in the car to the hospital.
	Yeah.
	But it's just like, you know, we didn't know what the hell was wrong with this.
	Just blood all over her and cuts all over her wrists.
	But, you know, if she had done it properly and was bleeding to death, she would have been long gone.
	And she's like, okay, that doesn't work.
	It's because there's literally nothing stopping them from delivering a crap service.
	Yeah.
	What happens?
	Nothing.
	They get paid either way.
	That's why.
	I'm so sick of it.
	It's a rule of government ownership.
	I would rather just pay my monthly subscription to a private hospital.
	Or insurance or whatever.
	Yeah, well that's an insurance package basically.
	SupremeDuck says, in Denmark we just had another lockdown, no more nightlife, stay home again.
	Well, it only goes on as long as you comply with it, doesn't it?
	BayState says, as you've probably heard, Germany has voted for mandatory vaccinations.
	Yes, I did hear the Nazis have returned to Germany.
	Because of this, I've had to make the very difficult decision to leave the country and come back to the UK, which means I have two months to rehome my cats, sell all my stuff and find a new place to live, find a new job, find a way to ship all my stuff back to the UK, leave the life I've built for myself here for the last seven years and start living from scratch.
	Glad to see the Brits are acting a little more appropriately at least.
	Well, you can see that Boris is like, what are the Germans doing, right?
	Okay, we'll have a conversation about it.
	So, you know, don't rule anything out yet, but then, at the end of the day, we'll all be meeting each other on the March on Parliament.
	I saw a post in the Discord earlier from one of the old subscribe star tiers, and he was saying that him and his family, one of his mates, a new guy who's coming back to the UK and then learned about the COVID-mandated vaccines, and says, no, I'm going back to Ukraine.
	So he's gone back to Ukraine, and it's just like, right, you literally pick the country that's about to be invaded by Russia over living here.
	Yeah, but I'm not being held down and injected.
	At least I can be a collaborator.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, no, it's unreal, isn't it?
	Like, Germany has gone full tyrant.
	I just can't get over it.
	I saw a thing from Germany where they were like, yeah, so homeless people won't be allowed in the homeless shelters if they haven't been vaccinated.
	Really?
	You're targeting the homeless, aren't you?
	Stunning and brave.
	Yeah.
	How progressive of you!
	You know, homeless people, get out in the cold!
	You know, there's little side bits in buildings and sometimes put rocks there to stop homeless people from sitting there.
	I saw one the other day where they'd given it the diversity colours.
	Are you sure that wasn't a Photoshop?
	I've seen stuff like that.
	No, I saw it.
	It was like the rainbow flag on it.
	It's just like, okay.
	Very progressive.
	Peak woke capitalism.
	What is it, like gay anti-homeless action?
	Germany's winters get colder than ours.
	It gets pretty sharp over there.
	And so, like, what a cruel thing to do.
	Unreal.
	The German mind.
	Yeah, the German mind, exactly.
	And Boris is like, hmm, no Boris.
	Student of History says, the question now is, are MPs going to...
	I should defend Boris.
	The answer, nope.
	And secondly, hmm, viva la revolution, bring back the Conservative Party.
	Yeah, right.
	Callum says, lockdowns have done so much metaphysical damage as well as psychological, it's not a joke.
	And that's not looking at the physical damages caused by lockdowns.
	Nearly two years now.
	I totally agree.
	The very notion that that was an acceptable boundary to breach.
	You know, it's not a real boundary, it's not a physical thing, but there was an understanding that there was not the authority for that to happen and then Boris did it anyway.
	I can't stand it.
	Justin says, Yeah, that's what it is.
	That is exactly what it is.
	We need the, you know, the, I don't want to say, like, dissident right, because I don't think that's an accurate way of describing it, but, like, the patriotic populist parties essentially all have to get together, pool of their resources, and form a proper party so we can start promoting and voting for it.
	Nigel Farage, Lawrence Fox, David Curtin, all of them, you know, just get together, do something.
	Yeah, there needs to be something after they're dead.
	Yes, some place for disaffected Labour voters and Conservative voters to go that is populous, you know, popular.
	Anyway, Freeborn says, it's almost like the restrictions have nothing to do with the virus but have everything to do with steam our freedom, freedom that came with our birth and with the duty to preserve it no matter the cost.
	Completely correct.
	Chet says, my cat hates these restrictions too.
	In some of his recent coverage of the virus, Dr.
	Campbell has shown that they expect many of them will be exposed to Omicron by Christmas or early next year.
	Assuming that Omicron is in fact more infectious and far less severe version of the virus, maybe a silver lining in all of this, it seems to be the case.
	By having those two traits, assuming no further negatives, it will pass through the population whom a great deal have some immunity through vax or previous infection, and the result in greater natural acquired immunity from both it and other variants.
	Since a few interesting points Brett and Heather pointed out recently, which I'll point out in a video comment later.
	Okay, thank you very much.
	David says, imagine being a liberal and in charge of a country, and then take all advice from a communist when it comes to whether people can have their freedoms or not.
	Yeah, that's mad, isn't it?
	See, like, I want to know who's puppeteering Boris.
	It has to be Sage, right?
	It has to be Sage.
	He's getting his information on the virus because, I mean, they were deliberately withholding that the Omicron virus is more mild.
	And so it's like it has to be that these communists are basically puppeteering what would otherwise be a fairly liberal prime minister.
	We'd have to ask Dominic Cummings, really.
	He's the only guy who knows.
	He said in a recent...
	Well, not recent, but in a substack, you can go read it.
	He says that Cabinet just had no influence on whatever Boris did about this.
	So no one in Cabinet was taken into account.
	So who's pulling his strings?
	Well, that's...
	I'm not really sure.
	But it's why Dominic Cummings never went to Cabinet, because he was like, they were literally irrelevant to all the decisions.
	So, presumably Sage and his girlfriend and the media, because that's all he seemed to be interacting with.
	So...
	You want to email Dominic Cummings and see if he can get an interview?
	I don't know if he'll do it, though.
	Well, no, email him and find out.
	Boris has seriously let the country down.
	Correct.
	I'll never vote for the man again, as I'll never vote for a Communist Party, Labour, and I'm running out of options.
	Boris has gone from Churchill to Starling in two years.
	That's a good point.
	Anyway, Anthony says, YouGov surveyed today and currently 78% support mask-wearing indoors.
	Really, do they?
	They're taking the piss.
	I can't tell if he's joking.
	78% apparently.
	Are these the same people who wear them when outside in their cars?
	Yes.
	Russ again says, if it were possible, would you prefer proportional representation voting rather than first past the post?
	Is the only way I can see minority parties ever getting an MP at this rate?
	And at least this way, people would be more willing to vote for the party they like rather than the one they don't want to see in charge.
	I remember back in, what was it, 2011 or something like that, when we had the decision on when we were going to have proportional representation, I was like, well, no, I think the person who gets the vote should win, but now I'm at the point where maybe we need it.
	Maybe I was wrong.
	Harry says, I'm related to the podcast, but where would a good place to start reading Berk be at the beginning?
	Just reflections on the French Revolution, and we'll do a book club on it soon.
	Nobody misled me, there is no poll.
	It's 71% for the YouGov polls.
	Was it 78?
	I can't remember anymore.
	Yeah, 71.
	Oh, 71, right.
	Student of History says, I'm just picturing 600k people literally having a party and drinking outside Downing Street.
	I hope that it happens.
	It'd be great.
	It'd be cold, Christmas Eve.
	Henry says, say what you like about the Tory party.
	One thing they're usually very good at is ousting leaders when they need to without letting a Corbyn type get in.
	Well, let's hope so.
	Yeah, I mean, that's the move as well.
	They're not trying to destroy the conservative majority, they're trying to reform the regime.
	That's what the sisters are doing there.
	All they need to do is just dissolve sage.
	Yeah, there's a lot of things dissolving.
	There's a lot of reforms that were promised as well.
	I mean, I mentioned before, I spoke to Steve Baker after the election.
	Was it like being in a socialist party, Steve?
	We hadn't done all that at that point.
	But there was a palpable upbeat to the whole situation.
	It was like, finally, some reforms we can get done.
	Oh, that would have been lovely.
	Because it was like, you know, we had the coalition government, then minority, and then Brexit blocked everything, and now you finally got the majority, and it's just not happened.
	It's like, great, okay, well, if you're not going to do it then, regime change.
	Boris became Corbyn.
	Amazing.
	There's a...
	Oh, no.
	It's all right.
	It's gone.
	Jimbo says, the only people in Parliament who don't do cocaine are the ones who fall asleep on the reg.
	The entire House of Lords, then.
	So, yeah.
	On the plus side, the Lords and Mog are the only people in Parliament who don't do cocaine.
	Yeah.
	There was a comment in there from the source that said it was a lot of young MPs who like doing it and showing off because they think they're untouchable.
	And the only young MPs I can think of are all the left socialist types we keep covering.
	Well, there are a bunch of young northern conservative MPs.
	Ben Bradley.
	I assume when they meant young, like 20s.
	Well, I mean, he looks like he's late 20s.
	Is he 20?
	He looks fairly young.
	I'm just thinking of the baby faces.
	Like the baby of the house being Nadia Whittam.
	And the one who was like, I'm having PTSD from emails.
	Let me time off.
	Jimbo says, the only people in Parliament who don't do...
	Oh no, I read that one.
	Kevin said, that Dimwit MP on Question Time, why hasn't she been arrested for hate speech for wearing a noose?
	What?
	She hung herself off.
	She had a ribbon.
	Also, she hung herself off.
	But she did have a ribbon, so maybe that was the case.
	Matthew says, will businesses act like they never discriminate against the unvaccinated after the mandates fall out of public favour and the media stops pushing the jab?
	To be honest with you, I've not seen any business discrimination on the unvaccinated in this country.
	Yeah, in France it's enforced by the state.
	In Italy.
	In the US it seems to be a free-for-all.
	Yeah, go to Florida.
	Yeah.
	Land of the White People says, we never had a vote on proportional representation.
	We had a vote on the alternate vote.
	Did we?
	Yes.
	So, it's a form of proportional representation.
	I mean, it was a decade ago.
	Forgive my memory.
	Kevin says, the intersectionalists like the homeless as well.
	They're effing bums.
	Mark says, they'll start naming them after Transformers next.
	Can't wait for the Optimus Prime variant.
	Oh, yeah.
	Exactly.
	We are...
	We are fine.
	I can't say it, but it's just like, we really are buggered if there is no change.
	I mean, what are the options?
	Anyway, Riss says, I was hoping the proposed lockdown would be the final straw for many.
	It seems now that many businesses don't want to lose staff and profits.
	People don't want to be oppressed.
	Some Labour MPs are either following their principles or want to get re-elected.
	Sadly, look at the latter.
	And Conservative MPs at last have the balls to say, enough Prime Minister.
	I hope this momentum stays, but it'll be sad having to watch it from the People's Republic of Scotland, where the glorious leader Nicola is holding on to as much power as she can with her stubby little terror hands.
	Well, you have said before, why haven't they all done this sooner?
	And some people have thought that as well.
	But the obvious point was that Boris Johnson was always winning them more popularity.
	Like, you can mention Boris if you go door-knocking around the area.
	And everyone's just like...
	There was one woman I met who was just like...
	Well, you know, I can't stand the Conservatives, but you've got to vote for Boris, don't you?
	You know, that's weird thinking, but okay.
	No, no, no, that's not weird.
	It's like, this is what a lot of the Labour were like with Corbyn.
	But my point is that that was there, and that was the case across the country for all these Conservative MPs going out and opposing Boris because, you know, the lockdowns or whatever.
	There wasn't really enough momentum, I don't think, for them to get it done.
	But now that they could go to any constituency and ask their activists, can you go out and campaign for me, all of them are going to go...
	You kidding me?
	Now?
	Right now?
	Are you nuts?
	I'm going to take the Sajid Javid defence.
	I've got some baking to do or something.
	But can you imagine what it must have been like in the cabinet office, just sat there with their whiskey and just been like, this has gone badly.
	Just the maudlin, just like, okay, what do we do?
	Everyone, apart from Keir Starmer, is on our side.
	What now?
	Yeah.
	I mean, there was one leak.
	There was a government source who spoke to a journalist and the quote was, we are F-word.
	Yes.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	And I think they are.
	I think if you go out to average people after this story is getting into everyone's face and ask them about Boris, his name is going to be more mud than it was.
	It didn't have to be this way, Boris.
	No.
	Anyway, we're out of time.
