Time Text
Hello and welcome to this podcast of the Lotus Seaters for the 15th of April 2022.
I'm joined by Leo.
Hello!
And today we're going to be talking about the establishment strikes back against Elon Musk, the family sex show that's being set up in Bristol's age 5 plus, is my understanding.
And also, Rwanda is my new best friend, or our best friend, in the United Kingdom.
It certainly is.
I'm looking forward to that one especially, I'll be honest.
I'm old enough to remember when asylum seekers came from Rwanda.
Not anymore.
Went to Rwanda.
Definitely going to Rwanda.
100% of them.
Yeah.
I mean, they're seeking asylum from horrific conditions in France.
It's unbearable.
I will give them that.
Living with the frogs.
By the way, so we shall start the news.
So, we don't do the...
we don't decide just to let you know all right sure confused but anyway let's start off so the establishment is striking back or at least has struck back against the elon musk to some degree as people may remember and just to kick off this is about the fact that he decided to be like i'm just gonna buy all the twitter and clear him out i was like yeah if i had that much money that's probably what i'd do too yeah how do you fight back against the left well i have all this cash
Well, yeah, because the left, for years, the left were saying, oh, you're not happy with being cancelled, with, you know, being arbitrarily dismissed from Twitter, like Trump and so many, so many people have been kicked off Twitter.
Well, it's a private company.
You're free to start your own private company.
Yeah, or there's another option where we buy that private company.
Well, actually, it's a public company.
It's publicly traded.
We can buy it all and then privatise it as well.
But anyway, I'm just going to start off with this premium video that we did a while back, you can see between John and Carl here, on the politics of the Hunger Games, because I think it has some striking similarities, or at least in the power structures, as we can see them in the response to Elon here.
So we'll move forward.
If we go to the next one, this is the SEC filing that Elon made, and we didn't have time to read it yesterday, but I thought we'd go through the end of it, right at the bottom where he has some notes.
That he sent to the Twitter guys, which I just found funny.
So he starts off by saying, I'm going to send you an offer letter tonight.
It will be public in the morning.
Are you available to chat?
I just love how he's sort of friendly about this.
Like, yeah, I'm buying the company.
Hello, friendly guy.
Number one, best and final.
Point A, I am not playing the back and forth game.
This is after they tried to, well, put him in a trap and he was like, no.
B, I have moved straight to the end.
It's a high price for your shareholders.
They will love it.
If the deal doesn't work, given that I don't have confidence in the management, nor do I believe that they can necessarily change the public market, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.
This is not a threat.
It's simply a good investment without the changes that need to be made.
And those changes won't happen without taking the company private.
Blah, blah, blah.
Call me if you want.
Bye.
I just love how it's so politely put there to them, where it's just obviously hostile, but at the same time...
Well, he gets straight to the point.
And he's absolutely right.
And also, you know, shareholders, if you've invested in Twitter, most of them will be investing to make money rather than, you know, for some sort of ideological mission.
Well, you'd think in a normal stock market situation.
A lot of shareholders come out and say, oh, this is terrible that we're making money.
Well, they're not happy about the idea of making money.
Elon Musk has offered them money and they're like, well, I don't want that.
We'll have plenty of that.
What's happened to capitalism?
We will show.
But he gave a TED talk recently and he actually gave some concrete examples of what he would do with Twitter as well.
Like, he genuinely wants to reform the place to actually be useful for once.
Yeah.
One of the examples he gives is any de-ranking that the company makes to any account should be public.
You should be able to look up what kind of de-ranking is taking place on your account or anyone else's account, either algorithmically or manually done.
This is what people have been arguing for years.
make all the decisions, all this opaque black box controlled by really biased billionaire oligarchs with agendas, all these green hairs with septum piercings at Twitter, they make all these decisions about who gets boosted, who gets shadowbound, but none they make all these decisions about who gets boosted, who gets shadowbound, but none of it's clear, none of it's following any sort of rules that are It's all very arbitrary.
So if we open up, that's going to provide scrutiny and going to vastly improve.
Like when we open up any public service or when a company has an AGM, like when you open up the...
Some actual transparency for us.
Transparency is key.
That is just one demand, as in like the one concrete demand he's been able to make of how I would reform it.
And that's just an obviously good one for everyone involved, except the leftists who want to keep this all a secret.
He also went on in the TED Talk to say that the future of civilization depends on an open public square.
Quote, I don't care about the economics at all.
Just don't care.
I'm going to lose money.
Don't give a toss.
And this is the thing that a lot of people have been saying, well, oh, isn't it ridiculous that he says he doesn't care and therefore is going to trash the company?
No one cares about the economics.
Zero people in the room care about the economics of Twitter.com.
Most of all, the people invested in Twitter.com before Elon came along as well.
So as we can see here, this is the response to Elon buying all his shares.
Vanguard, one of the other major corporations, or let's say, I don't know, trust funds or whatever the hell they're called, I can't remember, have decided to up their stakes.
So if you click on that, John, they've now decided to buy so many more Twitter shares, they're now even bigger than Elon Musk.
As you can see, they're number one now with 10.29%.
percent so they just decided to buy more why because they want to fight against elon musk it's clear because the next one we can see more of this and the poison making the point here if you see vanguard and blackrock leverage their twitter shares to engage in anti-elon activism then you know that the threat to the regime is real and as i mentioned it's not just them everyone else seems to be increasing their shares as well to try and stop elon from taking over the company Why is that?
He's offering you money.
You could make lots of money.
Your company isn't worth $54 a share, and he's offering you that huge piles of billions and billions of dollars.
None of them want it.
None of them care about the cash.
They care about the control, which tells you everything you need to know.
That these organizations, the people who run them, are not investing because they want to make cash.
They're investing because they want power over the public discourse directly in the form of Twitter.com, owning the platform, owning what MPs can see.
Because, well, they're all on there.
If we go to the next one, we're going to see some other stuff about this.
Someone making the point.
So let me get this straight.
The progressive left is now rooting for Saudi Arabia.
Wall Street's Vanguard slash Backrock against free speech, liberty, and the dude who makes electric cars and is going to Mars.
What?
Shouldn't be a surprise, really.
Frankly.
I mean, Elon Musk is so much a guy outside of the cathedral.
Clearly.
I mean, he's a guy who's pro-freedom, pro-liberty, as this chap says.
Classic liberal values.
Not the modern, woke liberal values.
Nothing to do with the socialists.
There's no engagement with these people.
This African-American...
Who has gone through so much trials and tribulations, is now the richest African-American on planet Earth.
Yeah, they don't like him.
I wonder why.
It's because the regime is made up of the most cynical, evil people on the planet.
And if we go forward, we can see one of these people.
Which is Saudi Prince Al-Wahid bin al-Tul...
Sorry.
Al-Wahid bin Talud al-Saud...
Very short name.
One of Twitter's largest shareholders rejects Elon Musk's bid.
He's not going to engage in it.
He also doesn't want money.
Nice of him to take some time away from ordering strikes, missile strikes on Yemeni civilians.
Yeah, just another funeral.
Went by.
Clear today.
Didn't get to blow it up.
But also just, again, another individual who hates the smell of money.
She doesn't want more of it.
Can't stand it.
He's got enough.
Yeah.
We'll go to the next one.
We can see Al-Wahid's decision making here.
He decides to argue that it's worth more than $54 a share.
Obviously not.
He also decided to buy...
Sorry.
If it was, it would be valued at more than that on the market.
That's how markets work.
Yeah.
And no, it's not.
And also his response was to buy more shares.
Again, trying to stop Elon Musk, take up as much as they can to try and keep him out of power.
As in, well, being able to bring liberty to the public square here.
And if we go to the next one, we'll see Elon Musk's response to Al-Wahid, which is hilarious.
Interesting.
Just two questions, if I may.
How much of Twitter does the kingdom own directly and indirectly?
And what is the kingdom's views on journalistic freedom of speech?
We're taking no input from Saudi princes on how the public square should be run.
I mean, their input is usually chop-chop, and that's about it.
So, yeah, as you can see, 200,000 likes there because, well, the entire Liberty faction that's left on Twitter.com is still standing behind Elon on this, rightfully.
If we go to the next one, we can also see Elon Musk's definition of free speech, which was fantastic.
I mean, it goes to show that a man has thought about this.
He decided to say, is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?
If that's the case, then we have free speech.
It's the right for the person you don't like to say something you don't like.
What is Noam Chomsky's definition used back in the day?
Noam Chomsky?
Far right winger?
No.
Absolutely not.
If we go to the next one, we can also see a funny case of this.
Because you remember the prince saying that it was undervalued.
It was actually worth more than $54.
It was not.
Trading price.
Yeah.
Doesn't make any sense.
So apparently, Goldman Sachs were called in by Twitter to evaluate the price to try and argue that it was undervalued by Elon and it was totally worth a bajillion dollars a share or whatever fake number they wanted.
However, people also caught that Goldman Sachs had already told their investors how much it was worth, which as you can see there, 30 buckaroos, it's not worth it.
They were literally saying it's actually not even worth a fraction of what Elon's offering there.
It's much less than compared to what Elon's offering.
So you can see again, the reason they're upping their share prices is not to make money.
They all know it's not worth what Elon's offering.
They're here to keep control.
If we go to the next one as well, we can also see...
I went to WallStreetBets to go and check out what they're up to because, of course, they're big fans as well.
I love this one that they posted there.
So you can see Business Insider saying, Billionaire Jeff Bezos, Washington Post, marks a fascinating cultural transition in America because Bezos just decided to buy the Washington Post.
And that's fine.
Yeah.
That's okay.
He's got the right politics, the right opinions, they've been approved.
If a billionaire wants to just buy a corporation and control their complete output, that's all fine.
Unless it's Elon Musk.
Yeah.
Then it's evil and bad.
Elon Musk attempts to buy Twitter represents a chilling new threat.
Billionaire trolls taking over social media.
This is bad and evil, I'm sure, but the reverse is absolutely fine.
If you go to the next one, you can also see the, of course, The Washington Post...
He's very mad.
Brought to you by Jeff Bezos TMC. There are very few newspapers that aren't controlled, and social media platforms that aren't controlled by billionaires.
Yeah.
I mean, even the Guardian.
The Guardian say, oh, we're free from any influence from any rich people.
It's like, what about Bill Gates?
When you're giving that money back?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, what was it?
I can't remember the amount.
It was millions and millions of dollars.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It was well into seven figures, I think.
I mean, eight figures.
But there you have it.
So there's the correct billionaires who are arguing that billionaires should not be in charge of the media or the means of communication because that would be bad when it's Elon, but not us.
And what's the difference between us and Elon?
Well, Elon wants free speech.
Elon wants the marketplace of ideas.
I mean, I don't really know if he has a real grounded ideological position on much stuff.
He seems more like a pragmatist, in most regards.
So I really genuinely think he just wants a marketplace where people can have the fight.
We'll see what comes of it.
Anyway, if we go to the next one, we can also see the fact that Elon's not disturbed by these shifts.
He also decides to say that he does have a plan B. If Twitter rejects his offer, he won't say what it is yet.
Probably the right thing to do, of course.
Although, the questions have obviously been raised that if he just decides to sell all his shares and plummet the stock price even further, it's like, sure, you guys keep control, but you've now lost loads of money.
So, I mean, either way, I win.
And then Twitter are even more vulnerable to, you know, attempt a hostile takeover.
I hope so.
I'd love to see it.
But if not, well, they're just going to go bankrupt in irrelevancy as they're moving that way already.
But that's the story, as in, like, the news part.
The best part of all of this has to be the left-wing response.
Because it's been magical.
I don't know how much you've seen.
But, uh, holy crap, the verified checkmarks lost their goddamn minds.
I have some responses here.
Elon Musk is why to abolish billionaires.
Asking them to chip in their fair share isn't enough.
Regulating them isn't enough.
When people are allowed to acquire this much concentrated influence, they will inevitably man-spread economic power into every other form of power.
What?
Well, I love how it's already owned by billionaires.
Yeah.
I mean, sorry, I forgot that Vanguard and BlackRock were mum and pop stores run by people.
I mean, like, yeah, well, on a serious note, I mean, Mohammed bin Salman, whatever he's called, the Saudi Arabian prince, premier, leader, he's a dictator who makes all his money from fossil fuels.
Whereas Elon Musk is a struggling worker in the commune.
He's generating so much wealth for people.
He's not just taking resources out of the ground and selling them.
He's creating business.
And he's creating business that actually helps the planet.
It's electric cars.
It's what we're supposed to be supporting, if you follow what the woke left say.
So why is he the enemy?
And Mohammed bin Salman is his friend.
Friend-enemy distinction here.
The guy who kills...
He killed Khashoggi.
I don't know if this particular prince did.
Oh, right, right.
One of them did.
Either way, he's a member of the kingdom's family.
Well, look, there's not much distinction there, so it's a fair point to make.
But it's just that...
Well, look, the progressive cathedral has been up for buying on the stock market forever, and you've all been fine with this, and billionaires have all been trading it, and you've all been fine with that.
Why is that?
And all of a sudden, this billionaire you're upset about?
Well, it's because, well, they're all part of the cathedral.
They're all part of the established order, which is happy to censor as much as possible, because it keeps their position as firm as possible.
I mean, as soon as Elon comes along and starts mining into that concrete that you've created, then you're upset, because it may actually change things for the better for once.
We move to the next one.
We can see more of this madness.
As you can see, Andy Ngo collected quite a few here.
I suppose if you can click on the images, then we'll have some joy with this.
Verify checkmark, who cares who he is.
Today on Twitter feels like the last evening in a Berlin nightclub at the twilight of Weimar, Germany.
Because, you know, free speech is when Nazi Germany...
And when Nazi Germany, that's free speech.
That's when we arrive at true freedom.
According to Jeff here.
Rightio!
Let's move to the next one.
Next image.
You can see some guy here saying, Elon Musk buying Twitter is the end of the world, basically.
He'll amplify every extremist right-wing Nazi he can find.
What?
Is this guy aware of what Elon Musk is about?
I've never heard Elon Musk espouse or support any kind of extremist far-right view.
No, I mean, the most political he's ever got is, haha, 420.
Yeah, sure.
Why not?
Again, a liberty-focused view, not a Nazi-focused view.
The liberal Nazis weren't a thing.
It's not real.
If we go to the next image, we can see more of this.
Here we go.
Elon Musk targets Twitter with a $41 billion cash takeover offer.
This could mean the end of content moderation and on the platform, discrediting into disinformation and far-right extremism.
So we're going to descend into far-right extremism and disinformation.
Why?
Because people are allowed to speak.
I mean, he says this could, but it could also mean that everybody gets a free can of Coke.
I mean, it could mean anything.
It's an absolute nonsense to speculate.
I mean, obviously it wouldn't.
What it's going to mean is content moderation that follows rules, follows processes that are known, that are transparent, that are clear.
And in content moderation that you can see the...
What's actually going on?
Yeah, you see it happening in front of you.
But I also love the idea that Twitter is not a place of disinformation and far-left extremism.
I'm sorry, but you have literal terrorists boasting themselves on your platform constantly.
Not just the Taliban.
Let's not get into that for a minute.
But they're woke-left-approved terrorists.
So, you know, Islamic extremists and dictators.
Or Antifa.
Yeah, Antifa.
Killed someone in Portland this week.
Yeah, you can't have democratically elected leaders of the free world No.
I also, just the disinformation point, I mean, that's something to really keep in mind here, because we've covered a lot, the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the fact that was censored by Twitter, for example, so a lot of people couldn't see it.
And, well, if Elon Musk is in charge of Twitter, and that decision comes to his desk, what's Elon going to do?
We're not going to censor it.
We're going to be like, well look, let people talk about it.
That wouldn't be allowed currently.
He won't be the god of Twitter.
He'll set up processes that will be followed.
So it won't be somebody's opinion if something should be cancelled.
It'll be the process.
Which he'll have influence over.
Like a criminal justice system.
You know what I mean?
You're following rules.
You're following precedent.
You're following explicit laws that are defined and limited and transparent.
And they'll actually be fair for once.
Because the New York Times Hunter Biden laptop story is probably the best example of just, well, you censored that and called it Russian espionage.
It just wasn't.
There was actual disinformation that you all perpetrated from the direct at the top of Twitter and Facebook who just censored the story.
Well, that can't happen again if you have someone like Elon in charge.
Which would be good.
If we go to the next one here, we can see some more examples.
Elon Musk is Donald Trump with money.
Donald Trump also has money.
Oh no.
I can't have fun.
Oh my god.
Let's go to the next one, because they saw Count Dankula's response, which was hilarious.
New, don't let people I don't like speak.
That might start to agree with them.
New, this is just like Nazi Germany.
New, how can people debate things?
Basically, Nazism.
Remember Nazi Germany?
Famous for its culture of debates.
Yeah, yeah, plurality of opinion.
If we go to the next few, we'll have some enjoyment out of these as well.
Some guy being like, please no.
He signs it off here, the funniest part.
Yours truly, a lifelong verified Twitter user.
Don't you know I'm verified?
Don't you know I'm a Twitter aristocrat?
I've worked with you for so long.
Shut up, rando.
No one cares.
Let's go to the next one, because I love this account as well.
Someone here, I love you all, but I'm 100% out if Musk takes over Twitter.
Bye.
Cool.
No one cares.
Go to getter.
Yes!
With a parlor.
I'll let everyone on.
Don't worry.
They're not a censorious platform like Twitter.
Go to the next one.
We'll get some more of these.
Some guy being like, I am frightened of the impact on society and politics if Elon Musk acquires Twitter.
He seems to believe that social media, anything goes.
For democracy to survive, we need more content moderation, not less.
What?
So for democracy to survive, we need less democracy.
We need more censorship, and that's how you get more democracy.
Right.
So the more things you censor, the more democratic everything is.
Right.
That makes sense.
The only way we can be free is if we're not free.
Yes.
Right.
Perfect take.
We'll move on.
We'll go to the next one here.
Some other checkmark.
Elon Musk successfully purchased his Twitter.
It was on World War III. Perfectly sane people.
Absolutely perfectly sane.
And the destruction of our planet.
The whole world's gonna end.
Why?
Some people will be able to say words.
Oh no.
If we move forward, we can go to a failed game dev who had something to say as well.
Brianna Wu here, who decided to come up with Gab, etc.
failed because smart people don't want to spend our time on those platforms.
Dude, Twitter's already failing.
It's already not profitable.
It's already not worth having if you're actually an investor looking to make money, of course.
Well, then it's not a successful platform, whereas the other ones actually are in that regard.
They're still growing.
Twitter is shrinking every year.
So, that doesn't even make any sense.
But again, Brianna Wu, famous smart person.
Failed game dev, and, well, poor.
Let's go to the next one, so we can see Elon Musk also saying, in response to this, taking Twitter private at $54.
Should this be up to the shareholders, not the board?
And people being like, well, obviously.
and it's a good question which is the fact of well the board should be doing things in the interest of the shareholders and if you're offering the shareholders money well seems like a pretty good argument for what would be in their interest cash money I don't know Maybe the shareholders hate money.
I assume that's what the board's thinking, like the rest of them.
Sadovich here making good point as well.
Why is Saudi Arabia so obsessed with blocking the deal?
And why is the regime media covering this up?
Very good question, as Elon says.
If we move forward, we can also see Twitter's valuation over time, as Binary Surfer has here, which is just to make the point that it's a fair deal.
More than fair.
The red line being what Elon's offering there.
If it goes to the next one, we can also see the fact apparently the shares have now tumbled a bit after the Saudis tried to block the whole thing.
Again, why are we letting ourselves be held hostage by Saudis?
I mean, some of the most evil people on the planet.
Maybe next to the Kims, maybe.
And if we move to the last one here, this is the most revealing thing, which is the Biden administration have got involved.
Why?
To try and shut down the unfair practices?
No, no, no.
Elon Musk is the bad guy, of course.
As Elon Musk offers to buy the rest of Twitter, a legal source tells Fox Business, SEC government, and the Justice Department have launched what he described as a joint investigation into a myriad of Musk's regulatory issues, primarily involving Tesla.
How convenient.
What perfect timing.
So they're hammering Musk with all the...
This is what dictators do, like Putin.
People like that order investigations into business like the Chinese Communist Party, clamping down on their tech sector with Jack Ma, who started Alibaba, one of the most profitable businesses in the world.
So they have these sort of...
And obviously, they're...
They have overbearing scrutiny on people they want to silence.
So the Chinese Communist Party wanted to silence Jack Ma.
They did the exact same thing.
It's worrying that in the free world, in the West, this is happening.
This is obviously because Twitter, obviously, with the silencing of valid stories like the Hunter Biden laptop story, smearing it as fake news.
They're obviously part of the Biden regime.
Yeah.
I mean, just directly in that case, if nothing else.
It's the tech wing of the Democrat Party.
Yeah, I mean, it's undeniable at this point.
And as you can see, just all of a sudden, the SEC and the Justice Department are like, eh, we're going to investigate Elon Musk.
Convenient.
I mean, as you say, the CCP or Putin would engage in a purge of people within that party by doing exactly this.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh no, you're corrupt.
Yeah.
We found out.
So Berezovsky or Navalny or whoever Putin is going after, they always get sent to jail on tax fraud regulatory.
Corruption charges.
You know, it's never done in a charge of like, oh, you spoke out against me.
It's always done on something else to cover it up.
But anyway, that's the how convenient moment there.
But it really does establish one thing, which is that Elon Musk has, well, even if he takes, even if he loses this and leaves with all his selling all his shares, where he takes the price down and screws them over that way.
But if nothing else, he has shone a light on how the system is really run more than any single individual ever could.
And I think, you know, hats off and salutes in the chat to him for that, if nothing else.
Yeah.
I mean, being able to expose that, yeah, these are the people that run the country.
This is how they all organize themselves.
Yeah.
And they will lose as much money as possible to remain at their control.
Yeah.
And this is how they respond when you try and...
Tip the apple.
Yeah, yeah.
We've moved to the Family Sex Show.
The Family Sex Show.
So this is a show, according to their own website, it's a show for families about sex and relationships.
A fun and silly performance about the painfully awkward subject of sex, exploring names and functions, boundaries, consent, pleasure, queerness, sex, gender, and relationships.
Using real-life bodies, personal stories, songs, and movement, the family sex show.
I don't know what sort of movement that would be.
In and out.
The family sex show puts the good stuff at the forefront of conversation and imagines a future where there is no shame.
But a celebration of difference, equality and liberation.
I don't want that future.
I want shame.
Yeah.
I think shame is a very underrated emotion.
Everybody's trying to eliminate shame, eliminate anxiety.
No, we need some shame.
Yeah.
Some things you should be ashamed of.
I mean, I love the best example is at Pride events where you get people in the dog costumes and the police holding them on leashes and you just think...
Yeah, I want kink shaming.
I definitely want kink shaming in this situation, if nothing else.
Do that at home.
I don't care.
Very liberal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go nuts at home.
Go nuts at home.
But, like, yeah, just not in front of the kids.
But this family sex show was put on by This Egg.
So they invite you to bring your parents, bring your children, friends, lovers, bring your whole self.
Made in consultation with the School of Sexuality Education.
This is a show for everyone.
Knowing your body means knowing your rights.
It's a show, guess what age this show is.
So this contains stuff about, it's all about sex, queerness, gender, you know, all this sort of ideological stuff and, you know, fairly adult stuff.
You know, sex is usually considered an adult thing.
That's why pornography is, you know, 18 plus.
Guess what age they're...
And there's nakedness in this show as well.
You said real bodies.
I saw they say bring your children.
Yeah.
They have an age limit?
They do.
It's five.
Oh, thanks for that.
So you can't bring a four-year-old, because that would be inappropriate.
You know what I mean?
That would be shameful.
A five-year-old, that would be fine.
Yeah, why the age?
Why they being discriminatory against four-year-olds?
I don't understand.
It's very problematic.
So looking at the FAQs, they've got this thing that answers questions, which does absolutely nothing to reassure me.
So their plan is to...
I love that.
Most last questions.
Why are you making this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a good question.
Yeah.
So it's to create an alternative offline honest and human theatre show that is offering intersectional feminist, non-binary, anti-racist and sex positive take on relationships and sex education.
Oh my God, can you cram any more just nonsensical woke words in there?
I mean, it's grooming.
It's putting the idea in children's minds.
No five-year-old...
It goes to their dad.
Oh, dad, I think I'm a non-binary, genderqueer, transgender, pansexual, whatever.
I want to go to the sex show, dad.
Yeah, any five-year-old that comes up with this stuff.
It's all put in their head by adults.
At least we know who's behind the grooming when they literally say, yes, we're intersectional, feminist, non-binary, anti-racist.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
It's the leftists!
To five-year-olds, they're going to be like, you know, they're putting these ideas in their head.
And that's why all these woke leftists, all these Hollywood stars, have all got transgender kids.
Because they've put this idea in their heads.
Just let people grow up.
And if they want to transition, absolutely fine.
Absolutely fine.
Once they know what's going on and what's what.
Like when you're a child and when you hit puberty, there's all these changes going on.
It's ridiculous.
When I was a kid, I desperately wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Because I'd seen a show called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I watched it every week or every day, however often it was on.
I loved it.
Oh my God, I had the figures.
I loved it.
I loved it so much.
You didn't get a ninjaplasty?
No, I didn't.
I didn't have a turtle shell irremovably grafted to my back that had lifelong impacts on my fertility.
Why did the NHS not do this?
This is unbearable.
I know, but I think, you know, looking back, maybe that was a good idea.
Maybe I grew out of the turtle phase.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know...
This is the thing, man.
Like, I wanted to be a turtle because I'd been exposed to a show about turtles.
If I'd been shown a show about, I don't know, talking like gerbils or steam trains or something, I'd be like, oh, I want to be a gerbil.
You know what I mean?
I want to be a train.
It's like, and then you grow up, you're like, wait, I don't want to be a turtle, actually.
You know what I mean?
I'm a person.
That was just, I was a kid.
Like, so just, you know, just leave it for the, leave it for people who are, like, not five-year-olds, wait until they're six.
Wait until they're six.
You know what I mean?
That's right, I'm a conservative.
Six-year-old, yeah, get your bollocks out in front of them, you know, prance around explaining, you know, what felching is, but not when they're five.
Get away from the kiddos.
That is too much.
So they say, why is it for families and not for schools?
And this is their response.
Why is it for families and not for schools?
There are a few difficulties with making the family sex show a school's performance.
Yeah, I think schools are generally against naked, sexualised performances in front of children.
You know what I mean?
For pretty obvious reasons.
You know what I mean?
They're like, oh, it's not in the syllabus.
Oh, no, no, you don't say.
We don't have grooming of children in the syllabus.
Well, that's, you know, it's good to see, like, not all of my tax dollars have been spent on grooming children.
This is all funded by taxpayer money, by the way.
They say, why so young?
Five is young.
And their response is, sexual development and behaviour in children starts from birth.
It absolutely does not.
What?
It absolutely, fundamentally does not.
Right, that's a nonce.
I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks a one-year-old is engaging in sexual development is a nonce.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A hardcore nonce.
So they say it's important that children are supported in their exploratory development safely and comfortably, which I disagree with.
I think, you know, when you're growing up, you know, you just develop yourself and it's better.
I don't want my mum, you know, next to me, like, showing me how to...
Tickle my balls.
Do it yourself!
Why have you got to bring adults into it?
I'll just Google it, don't worry.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
We don't need to follow this link to the NSPCC, but you can see the common stages of sexual development laid out by the NSPCC here.
If the NSPCC thinks that one-year-olds are sexual beings, I've got some worries about them too.
Well, the good thing is the NSPCC absolutely don't think that one-year-olds are sexual beings.
So when they're talking about children, they say it's uncommon for younger children to discuss specific sexual acts, use explicit sexual language, or have adult-like sexual contact with other people.
So, I mean, that's obviously just common sense.
But the NSPCC, they're trying to, like, you know, say, oh, but this is what the NSPCC say, thinking nobody will click on the link.
No, the NSPCC explicitly say, you know, young people.
And actually, it's a red flag.
If a young child is talking about sex, that's a sign, you know, potentially they've been abused.
They're a victim.
Or maybe they've seen the family sex show.
They have a FAQ about porn.
They say...
We can't, and no one else can, no matter what locks you put in your devices, control how or when young people get access to porn.
It's normally as fast as the fastest in the class.
Listen, you've got your kids with you till they go to school.
Man, five-year-olds don't have phones.
And also, you can put locks on your phones.
When they go to school, the phone goes in the locker.
They don't have their phone with them in class.
Parental locks.
People are like, oh, but they'll have a burner phone.
What?
Five-year-olds don't have burner phones.
What, your five-year-old kid is selling crystal meth?
But, like, the school Wi-Fi, that's age-restricted.
Yeah, the school Wi-Fi generally locks out Pornhub.
Mobile data in this country is by default age-restricted.
Yeah.
So unless the parent has gone in and turned that off for them...
Yeah.
No, they can't.
It won't be the parent doing it.
It'll be one of these blooming nonces from This Egg Theatre Company.
And there's an FAQ. Will people get naked?
There is nakedness, yes.
At one point in the show, everyone on stage takes their clothes off to the level they feel comfortable to, which for the extra nonce performers is going to be obviously like, look at my, look, gaze inside my gaping anus.
For some people, that's taking off all their clothes and being completely naked.
For other people, that means taking off bottoms but leaving underwear on.
For others, it's not taking anything off at all.
This moment lasts approximately five minutes.
I should imagine it feels like it lasts about a week.
Please, by the way, please bring your kids.
Yeah.
I am sorry, but this is messed up.
And then they've got a link to resources.
And this is the link.
Let's just click.
It's got like massive boners.
You can't.
This is supposed to be for kids and they've got massive boners.
Look.
It's in Bristol, right?
I can't remember which counter that is.
But Wiltshire Police, if you're listening, I know you're investigating more hate crimes this week.
I know that's the most important thing that you do.
Oh, yeah.
Turn up in the rainbow cars.
If you've got five minutes on your hands, could you maybe give this website an overview and wonder whether or not it's a police matter?
Yeah.
Yeah, everyone was like, oh, how could Jimmy Savile get away with it in plain sight for so long?
Are you mental?
We're spending taxpayers money to send nonces into schools to get naked in front of kids, and you're wondering how Jimmy Savile got away with it.
Man, at least Jimmy Savile had the good grace to do his paedophilia in private, and I respect him for that.
And he raised a lot of money for charity.
He wasn't, you know...
He wasn't 100% invite your kids to my sex show.
Yeah.
I suppose so.
The bare minimum.
Oh, God.
Jeez.
It's not even funny.
Yeah, the minimum's not the only thing that's bare.
And if we move on to the next one, this is them recruiting.
So they're looking for collaborators and performers.
Of course, yeah, they're allowed on Twitter.
Why not?
Yeah, that's fine.
And if you scroll down, it says what sort of performers they want.
So it says, yeah, it's Be Made for a Family.
Family audiences.
So we're looking for one cis man, one performer from the global majority, including those with mixed heritage and or who identifies as queer, trans, deaf, disabled, neurodivergent and is for working class backgrounds.
Why don't you just hire somebody who can do the job and it doesn't matter if they can...
I don't know why they always...
A global majority?
At least they've stopped calling them minorities.
Well, no, they've changed it here.
This is a debate they're having.
It used to be Yook McGamur.
What does that mean?
UK Minority Ethnic or Global Heritage Minority.
And then, of course, Yuka Montgomery doesn't sound very human.
So they've transferred it to global majority, which still doesn't really sound human.
It also sounds like a threat.
Like, they're threatening you with, like, yeah, we're in charge, which is weird.
But then, also, shouldn't we be trying to help minorities in society, not the majority?
But either way, just say no, white men.
I'd be less offended, frankly.
Yeah, just, we know what you mean.
You don't want any straight white men because they're seen as bad these days.
And I've literally seen it.
I've seen it on Instagram.
People having rows between each other and calling each other cisgender.
And then they're like, I'm not cisgender.
I'm not cisgender.
It clearly states in my thing I'm genderqueer.
I'm bisexual.
I just never...
They've just flipped the old playground thing of, you know, instead of like, ah, you're gay, now they're saying, ah, you're cisgender.
You're straight.
You're straight.
That's a South Park sketch.
You're white.
Ah, it's disgusting.
Yeah, I'm so gay.
If we move on to the next one, of course it gets a nice generous write-up in the Groomer's Almanac, The Guardian.
So, well, there's a picture of it.
I mean, what did you think they were going to look like?
What did you think?
That's also a picture of West Midlands police SWAT team.
What did you think they were going to look like?
And they say there was the purple-soaked tampon.
The classic condom rolled up...
This is them criticising previous sex education.
The classic condom rolled onto a banana and the general fear-mongering of pictures of STIs pinned up on a board.
But never a mention of why you might want to have sex, she says, rolling her eyes.
Never anything about empathy or pleasure or how any of it might impact other people.
And, yeah, I don't think you need to...
Explain to people, like, I don't, since the dawn of time, people have been managing to, like, have sex without any of this non-story.
But also they're implying that my year six teacher should have sat me down and done literally the meme version of explaining to me what real good sex is like.
Yeah.
Like, no, her job was to tell me about, you know, don't get an STI, Callum.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she did that well.
Yeah, yeah.
Have you got any STIs?
No.
Well, well done.
Year six teacher did her job, wasn't a groomer.
I've had loads.
But, yeah, and also, like, you know, this idea that people need to be, you know, explain that sex is pleasurable.
You work that out on your own.
People are so conformist.
They never imagine that people might work this stuff out on their own.
So yeah, the article continues.
With a team of eight performers, Dale Jones is making a show about sex and relationships for ages five and above.
Accompanied by workshops and panel talks, the Family Sex Show tackles topics including boundaries, gender, relationships and masturbation.
The argument against sex education for younger ages has repeatedly been that education is indoctrination.
The more we tell our children about sex, the more tempted they will be.
The more tempted a five-year-old will be!
Five-year-olds aren't tempted to...
It's mental.
It's all phrased.
The whole conversation is phrased in the way that children...
Should be engaging in this.
Should be engaging with it and are aware of it and are informed enough to give consent.
And this is a very worrying thing.
You're seeing with the transition stuff, they're saying, you know, this eight-year-old wants to transition.
And it's...
For a start, transitioning is something that I don't think an 8-year-old can give an informed consent about.
But also, they're saying, oh, this 8-year-old can give consent to be transitioned, so what else can it give consent to?
And that's the worrying thing.
That's where this discussion around...
This is the path it's leading down.
I still can't get over how left-wing circles are publicly able to do this and just not be investigated by the police.
Could you imagine this in any other setting that has this sort of criticism?
If a Catholic priest came up to your son and was like, let me tell him about how good sex is.
If you were at the Scout Hut with your five-year-olds and he was going into Cubs or whatever it is, then the Scout Hut leader was like, hello, let me talk to Billy for a minute.
No!
No!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're there to do...
Can't teachers just focus on teaching maths and stuff like that?
If it's going to be about sex, it's usually just don't get pregnant whilst you're 13.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't get pregnant.
Use...
Contraceptions, you don't get any STDs or have a baby before you want one.
The article also says, avoiding conversations about our bodies and how we use them is far more dangerous.
Knowing your body is about knowing your rights.
It's not.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 12, no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation.
Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against interference or attacks.
So they shouldn't be interfering in family life, in private life.
This is something for families to do.
History has shown us parents are always the best people to raise children, generally.
Because they're the ones who care about them the most.
They're the ones who care about them the most.
There are edge cases, of course, but no one will care about your child more than anyone else.
The best example I have for this is for every bloody book we've done about China or North Korea when they've gone through a famine.
And so the children are carted off to be with cadres.
And the cadres, who are not family members, treat children like utter scum and end up getting them all killed.
And it's just like, right, when you take it to its extreme, we can see what's true.
The family unit always survives.
The families are best for raising their kids.
Yeah, and we're including adoptive parents in that, but we're talking about the family, not apparatchiks from the state, not theatre companies.
It's created a framework, a structure where paedophiles...
A paedophile could certainly come into this theatre group.
How would you know?
How would you know what the difference is?
Yeah, yeah, because a regular...
A regular paedophile gets naked in front of children.
These ones get naked in front of children as well, so you're not even going to notice any warning signs.
What would be the difference?
It's created a situation that can be exploited by paedophiles.
And that's the best case scenario, is it's created a situation that can be exploited by paedophiles.
The worst case scenario is they're already doing that.
Children aren't anxious about the idea of the show.
It's the older people who feel discomfort.
Yeah, it's because five-year-olds are innocent.
That's why they need to be protected from these ideas.
Adults feel discomfort because we know it's wrong.
It's absolutely nonsense.
I do not believe there are none of the kids in the room being like, I don't want to be here.
This is weird.
Yeah.
Oh, so we've got the video.
So this is a video.
They've taken it down, but managed to get a screen recorded.
This is them talking about the show.
This is the people who do the show.
Hello, my name's Mike.
I'm Artistic Director of Tobacco Factory Theatres.
I use he and him pronouns.
I'm a white man with brown hair with grey bits in.
And I'm very excited that the Family Sex Show is coming to Bristol.
We have presented two productions by the wonderful This Egg in the past.
They brought me and my bee and dressed and both pieces were completely original and very moving in different ways.
They make such Powerful work that really connects and inspires audiences.
And we're delighted that the Family Sex Show will be on in May.
I'm going to hand over to Josie, the artistic director of this egg, to say a little more.
Hello, my name's Josie.
I use she, her pronouns.
I'm a white woman with dyed red hair, which is half up, half down today.
I'm wearing gold hoop earrings, which are not real because I do not have my ears pierced.
I run this egg and I have been making and producing the Family Sex Show along with lots of other people over the last few years.
If you're watching this video then you might already have or you might be thinking about buying some tickets to the show or you might just be wondering why we thought making it was a good idea.
Great question.
We wanted to make something that came at the topic of relationships and sex in a light way, in a way that would open conversations, in a way that would encourage people to ask questions.
And to allow for that space of vulnerability and not knowing and making mistakes.
We hope that the show kind of adds to the more creative or alternative relationships and sex education that is out there at the moment in all different forms.
And I guess we really wanted to make the show that we wish that we'd had when we were younger and also part of our adult selves felt like or feels like they need now as well.
And mostly, if we know our bodies, then we know our rights.
Hello, my name is Ailey.
I'm Programming and Engagement Manager at Tobacco Factory Theatres.
I am a white female with brown blonde hair and my pronouns are she, her.
Family Sex Show is a fun and playful show for adults and children aged five and up.
It offers an honest human sex education that is feminist, queer, non-binary, inclusive and sex positive.
This show can allow audiences of all ages to feel confident about their bodies, their boundaries and their sexual health.
Yeah, like, I mean, it sounds like a great show for 16-year-olds.
You know what I mean?
Like, but not 5-year-olds.
Why do you want 5-year-olds?
Yeah, why do you want to do it in front of 5-year-olds?
Why do you want to get naked in front of 5-year-olds?
Why do you want to...
I mean, I know why they want to talk about all this gender queerness and all that sort of stuff.
It's indoctrination into woke values.
Nobody before, like...
Whenever non-binary-ness was invented as a thing, we even knew about it.
So obviously no five-year-olds are going to be like, Daddy, I'm non-binary!
Because it wasn't a thing.
Now they're telling all these kids, oh, there's a thing called non-binary, you can be it.
And also, they're also telling them, oh, and it's cool and it's fun and it's interesting.
It's not like being cisgender and straight and all these horrible things.
That's why 40%, they did a study, 40% of Generation Z kids identify as some kind of LGBTQ, like, because it's a nonsense now.
It used to be a thing that, like, you'd be gay, so you'd have sex, you know, if you're a man, you have sex with a man.
Now you can just...
Back in my day, when you were gay, you'd be gay.
These days.
Yeah, these days, these days you can just be queer.
You can just be queer, which is meaningless.
There's comedians out there on the circuit who say that they're genderqueer, but they've never had any same-sex experience.
It's like, no, you haven't, you're not, you're not gay then.
You can't, why are you trying to put yourself in this LGBTQ thing?
It'd be cool when you haven't actually, you know, at the very least suck a dick.
You know what I mean?
That's all I'm asking.
Just one, I'll let you suck my dick.
You know what I mean?
And then you can go on that.
Acronym.
Are you going to say this to every other comedian you meet now?
He says they're genderqueer.
It's like, prove it.
But yeah, people just want to do it because it's the trend, it's the fashionable thing.
But man, that's fine if it's the fashion.
Go nuts.
It's fine when it's an adult doing it to themselves.
But a non-binary five-year-old is like a vegan dog.
Yeah, absolutely.
Just leave the kids out of it.
Which seems like an obvious thing to say, but so much stuff with the left these days seems like an obvious thing to say.
It's fine for the grown-ups, but leave the kids out of it.
Or just use old school paedophiles like Jimmy Savile.
He didn't get any Arts Council grants.
He did it.
Is that your message to the left?
If you're going to be nonsense, at least don't take my taxpayer money.
Save money.
Save money by employing...
You know, they bring their own van.
They bring their own van.
They've got a box of puppies.
They didn't mention any puppies.
There's no sweets.
There's no puppies.
I'm for tax cuts against funding.
I mean, as a right-wing person, my key thing is that my taxes aren't getting spent on this.
And yeah, it's ridiculous.
You can't get a tattoo till you're 16.
You can't drive, you can't get a gun, all the rest of it.
But for some reason, you can make...
Lifelong changes to your body.
You're equipped, you know, way beyond the age of consent to decide if you're, you know, non-binary or genderqueer or pansexual or all this sort of stuff.
Man, nah, just stop putting it in the kids' heads.
Like, you know, it's just, you know...
It's becoming this new class system where all the Ponzi guardian reading parents in Bristol who think that they're doing the right thing by taking their kids to see this show, then they'll have the dinner party one-upmanship being like, oh, our Tarquin is genderqueer.
Oh, our Esmeralda is transgender.
It's like, nah, nah.
It's creepy.
You're putting this stuff in their heads.
Leave it until they're old enough.
Then it's fine.
Then absolutely fine.
Transition.
Be genderqueer.
Go to orgies.
All of it.
But just leave it away from the kids.
Well, on that note, I suppose we shall move to Rwanda.
So...
Let's move to Rwanda.
I feel like we're moving to Rwanda.
I feel like going on holiday, though, just for a laugh.
Why not?
Apparently it's really nice.
It sounds like it.
So, Rwanda is our new best friend in the UK. We're very much good friends with Rwanda now.
And the reason is, is because they have become progressive intolerance, like we used to be, but no more.
Because they have decided to put up a sign that says, Refugees, welcome.
They're going to take all of our refugees.
So let's start this off with Priti Patel.
Sorry to tweet this out.
British flag, Rwandan flag, part of our new plan for immigration.
And if you scroll down there, John, we just announced the UK Rwanda Migration Partnership has been signed.
So if you're looking for a holiday for Rwanda, there's an easy way, or at least a free way you can do it, which is by becoming a sea people, one of the boat people who come over from France, a horrible, disgusting country, a constant war, and everyone has to flee there.
So it gets on a boat and comes over to Britain.
Now we're going to ship them to Rwanda instead of keeping them here.
So if we go to the next one, this is how I imagined this discussion going down.
If you can click on that second image, just between the Rwandan side of this and Priti Patel being our Home Secretary.
No more friendship with France.
And the reason for this being that we gave France loads of money to stop this, to stop the sea people.
And the French went, thank you for the money.
And they did nothing...
So we're kind of mad.
Bear in mind when they do that, they're putting lives at risk.
I mean, crossing the channel, it's like these people smugglers are making so much money from it and it's so dangerous.
So these desperate people, and obviously people are desperate, they want to come to Britain because it's the Sorry, if we go to the next link we can see the situation because I want to hammer this down first which is just for foreigners who might not know what we're even talking about.
That's one of the terrible vessels that they use for coming across.
That's a P&O ferry.
Rickety.
Staffed by people on £1.86 an hour.
So here's the situation.
Some 297 crossed the channel in 2018.
Last year, the figure was 28,526.
In a handful of years, it went from a couple of hundreds to thousands upon thousands and is only set to completely increase if we do nothing, of course.
And once people are in the country, once you come to the UK, even if your asylum application takes years to be processed...
But even if you're a piss taker and it's obvious and we say no, what is it, 90% of those just disappear?
Yeah, they just disappear, so they stay in the country and work under the counter.
In the black market.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, one of my mates, Bernardo, he's actually been deported now, but he came back twice.
Illegally.
Illegally, yeah, yeah.
That's the thing, it's easy to do.
Yeah, yeah.
It doesn't seem to be difficult at all.
And he was working, he only got caught because he got in a road rage.
He got in a road rage incident.
He was delivering flowers for, was it Royal Bank of Scotland or something?
But yeah, he had a van and he was delivering flowers.
So he got stopped in a road rage incident.
He had no driver's license, no visa to be here.
He was like, nothing.
He got sent straight back.
And then I remember, because he was seeing my friend Emma as well, and she sent his PlayStation.
I can't remember what year it would have been.
But the PlayStation, so he's from Brazil.
So she sent the PlayStation, because he sold the PlayStation over there.
They had a real shortage of them or something.
So he sold it for loads of money.
Like the equivalent of months of wages.
Well, anyway, I'm sure he's now enjoying the sun again, presumably.
But to hammer it down further...
He was a nice guy, though.
He should be allowed to stay.
Well, if he applies legally, he'll be able to get it, presumably.
28,500 of those who are here this year.
Of them, the majority are young single men, most of whom are just economic migrants, so have no right to be in the country more than literally Panjit.
Pick a guy on the world, and he has as much right as such people.
I mean, the sea people in particular, those coming from France, it's even more of a joke, because of course you're in France.
Yeah.
I mean, we joke about France being an asshole, and some of it.
But, Kelly, you'll be fine.
You'll be able to live there as a refugee.
You're not a North Korean in China, for example.
The asylum system is costing Britain 1.5 billion pounds a year to house these thousands and thousands of people, with 3.5 million a day to accommodate 25,000 migrants in hotels.
And we have that here.
I mean, anywhere in this country I've been now, where my parents are, where people in Reading are, where I used to live, or even here, you know where the hotels are, you know the people who are in it.
I mean, one of the guys in the office said to me the other day, he walks to work, and every day he walks past three or four homeless English people, and you can see they're English, and then walks past this hotel down there, where you can see all the migrants, the city people, who have no more right to be here than anyone else, and they're in a hotel.
It's naturally pissing a lot of people off.
That just shows the lack of ingenuity on behalf of English people.
Because they could go to France and claim asylum.
They could get dinghies back.
Yeah, because the dinghies are only coming one day, so it's going to be cheaper on the way back.
So they could go to France, claim asylum, live in a hotel in France.
I don't think the French are doing it.
I think they've got a much harder policy on this because they've got too many piss takers.
Other countries, like everybody's like, oh my god, the Tory party, you're so evil, they're so evil to immigrants and stuff.
And we've got the weakest, laxest, like, you know, my mate Bernardo was here for years and years and years.
And like, if you go, I remember trying to move to Canada, I looked into moving to Australia, it's all like point system and it's difficult to get in.
And Thailand, man, you can't own land.
You can't own and buy property.
You can only get a year's visa at the time.
It's got to be renewed every year.
You've got to check in with the government every 90 days.
One of our gold medal subscribers is currently there and just endlessly whining about just the nonsense the government does.
I mean, it's mad the way they treat foreigners.
But, you know, we are opposite in the other direction.
So if we go to the next one here, we can see the story as it's blown up, which is we're now offering one-way tickets to Rwanda for some UK asylum seekers.
Finally, thankfully.
They're quoting here.
Some asylum seekers who cross the channel to the UK will be given a one-way ticket to Rwanda under new government plans.
The pilot scheme will focus on single men arriving on boats or lorries.
So asylum seekers who apply for asylum, legally, will get it.
That's fine.
You know an asylum seeker?
Yeah, that's fine.
The route they came here legally, that's fine.
What's not fine is turning up in France and saying, this isn't good enough.
I've been rejected by the French for being a piss-taker.
Well, I'll just go to Britain and be a piss-taker over there.
New.
Sold off to Rwanda.
We'll process you over there as a deterrent.
Yeah, like what he said, but, you know, just sounding a bit less racist.
The asylum seeker race.
That's what I love when people call it racist.
It's like, which race specifically...
Because literally every single race.
But there's real safety issues.
People who come here legitimately tend not to come here and just get on something that floats and paying somebody thousands of pounds to get here.
So there's dangers, especially when people are bringing kids or whatever on these things.
Man, you can get rough weather.
The thing can capsize.
People can die.
That's serious.
It happens.
It happens a lot.
Also, we need to make...
Remember the last Darwin Award won by one of the individuals that did this?
It was a migrant who got to France.
I believe he was in Mali with a friend of his.
And they were denied by the French because the French were like, you're obviously taking the piss.
You have no right to be here.
Go back to Mali.
We'll pay for the flights.
And they went, no, not do that.
They stole a dinghy, stole two metal shovels, and then tried to sail across, like, just row their way to England.
Good idea.
The metal shovel went through the dinghy and one of them drowned.
Oh, that's terrible.
And then they tried to claim it was a child.
It wasn't a child, he was in his 30s.
Right.
They're just like, right, yeah, that's a moron.
Yeah, still eligible for...
One of my mates, Moses, he takes and he fosters, him and his wife foster refugee kids, but they've got their own kids.
And he took in a Syrian refugee kid, and the kid turns up he's supposed to be like, you know, 14.
The kid turns up, he's like...
20, 22, something like that.
The whole system is broken.
Moses had to take him back because he's got a 14-year-old daughter.
He can't have this guy in the house.
Anyway, so there's the fact that it's dangerous.
This thing that the Guardian and all the woke left think is wonderful, which is people coming across on boats, hugely dangerous.
It's killing a lot of them.
But also, this will make...
Britain are less attractive.
It'll put people off.
It'll make it a less attractive destination for people.
That's the idea.
We could also just put pictures of Britain up at Calais to show it.
Hellscape!
This is Swindon.
Are you sure?
It's still time to change your mind.
That would work.
Go back to southern France.
Look at the cheese we have here.
Look at the cheese you have in France.
If we go to the next one, we can see the first glimpse of the hotels that are being set up there.
Because again, you have to house them in hotels.
So this is Hotel Rwanda.
I love that movie.
But this is the hotel they picked here, which is the Hope Guest House.
And as you can see, it's, well, romantic standards.
It's nothing inhuman, but it is, well, we're going to house you in a hotel because, well, you're essentially homeless and insisting that you have asylum here and you came here illegally.
We don't really trust you.
And we've been through hundreds of, sorry, tens of thousands of you now.
And every single time, or at least the vast majority we found, have just been taking the piss.
So, no.
That was really neat.
Completely run out of sympathy for anyone who thinks this is a terrible deal compared to what they get in the UK, which is three-star hotels, which is obviously nicer than this.
The biggest complaint here being that there's only three showers to share, which is awful.
You have to wait your turn.
And if we go to the next one, we can see Nigel Farage's criticism of this, and this is the right-wing criticism I've seen that's relevant, which is him saying that it only takes two cases of journalists claiming that there's been abuse and the whole pilot scheme will collapse and then the government will be made to look foolish.
So But there's abuse in the UK. Yeah, there's a lot of people being killed.
Look at the grooming gangs.
Well, there's the one in Scotland.
I think it was in Glasgow, Edinburgh.
It's Glasgow.
Where one refugee just went outside and stabbed people.
Right.
Which is bored.
And the Guardian went with, refugee dies in stabbing.
Because the police shot him to death.
The evil racist police shot someone just because he was...
Stabbing innocent people to death.
Exercising his God-given right to run around with a knife stabbing people.
So that's the right-wing criticism, but the left's response is the best one.
Let's go to it, of course.
Start off here, Guardian headline.
UK asylum seekers sent to Rwanda.
That takes punishment of fellow human beings to a next level.
It's inhuman to send them to Rwanda.
Because the next one we can see Diane Abbott decide to go with shipping asylum seekers 5,000 miles to Rwanda for processing is both cruel and bizarre.
It's cruel.
It's unbearable.
How could you send human beings to Rwanda?
It's not like there's only humans there.
We move to the next one.
We can see more responses from leftists here.
The UK government plans to send asylum seekers and refugees to Rwanda.
It's cruel and inhumane.
They're just endless whining about how this is unbelievable.
This is not the way to treat people.
Rwanda's a really nice country.
Are they still thinking Rwanda's this war-torn country with the Hutus and Tutsis still going at each Yeah, they still think everyone's chopping each other up with machés, because the left apparently gets their worldview from, well, memes.
Yeah, 25-year-old memes.
25-year-old memes.
Like, completely out-of-date memes.
We move forward, we can see some more people who are stuck.
Zara Sultana.
Wow, it is kind of cruel to pick on the mentally impaired, but she goes with, this is so disgusting, sickening, cruelty, even by their standards of sending people to the horrible shores of Rwanda.
I don't have any shores, I don't want to mention shores.
If we move to the next one, of course, we can see more of this, which is what Douglas Murray points out.
Yeah, by the way, both the EU and UN resettled people in Rwanda.
Not many people seem to know that.
It's fine.
It's been 25 years since the genocide.
It's doing fine.
And Douglas Murray has written an amazing book called The Strange Death of Europe, which is a very reasonable book.
I thought we'd done a book club on it.
I can't remember.
I've seen it on your...
I've seen it in here.
But yeah, fantastic book.
It's well worth reading.
I'll go and check out our book club too.
I'd love to see this.com.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
We can see the complaints of this about it costing money, and this is bad.
We're spending $1.5 billion to house these people in the UK. This has left us here to decide to go with the fact that apparently Australians had the same situation, which is they now had to move them all to Papua New Guinea and, well, process them there, and it cost them $10 billion Australian dollary dues.
So that's $1.7 million per person.
Except, well, no, dummy.
Because it went from huge numbers of people coming to no one.
That's the thing.
It makes the country a less appealing destination because you know you're going to get sent to Rwanda.
So then people stop.
And there's a huge cost in processing them here.
So this, you know, in the long run, it's...
You save a lot of money.
Yeah.
I mean, if we go to the next one, you can see someone making this point about the numbers of people.
And we're spending 1.5 billion.
The pilot scheme for this is costing 120 mil.
Yeah.
We're saving 90%.
Yeah.
90% of the money we're spending we're going to save.
That's not a bad deal.
That's a bloody great deal.
And also you've got the unspoken thing is trying to accommodate people who are coming from ideologies that are pre-medieval and don't...
Mesh easily with Western liberal society.
I'm going to get this wrong, but I think calculated it was roundabout this.
25% of the terrorist attacks we've had in the last 10 years have all come from refugees.
Right.
Many of them from boat people.
Right.
Happens.
Happens.
A lot, because Allahu Akbar.
Let's move to the next one, because we can see the days of NHS spending calculated this.
It's three days of NHS spending for this entire thing.
If we were to spend 1.4 billion on it, okay?
We're spending 1.5 billion on our current system, so no, it's not going to cost that much.
Because the costs will immediately evaporate when people stop coming.
That sounds quite a lot.
Three days of NHS spending is huge.
Well, that's what we're currently spending.
This is assuming that the numbers will be the same, which it won't.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a front-loaded cost.
But the left went with, it's sickening and disgusting to send human beings to Rwanda.
How dare you?
That's racist against Rwanda.
Yeah, the Rwandans weren't too pleased about that.
Yeah, they weren't.
If we go to the next one, we can see their response about all this.
See Colin Brazier mentioning that it's a peaceful, stable, relatively prosperous nation.
What the hell's wrong with you?
What's wrong with Rwanda?
If we go to the next one...
I was on Colin's show the other week.
Colin's a good guy.
And this is Rwanda news I found.
Were they just praising the deal?
Just being like, this is great.
We're going to get paid a boatload of cash.
All we have to do is house these people in hotels.
And if they're BS people, we just ship them back.
And the British pay for it.
And also, if they're legitimate asylum seekers, then they get to come.
Yeah.
It's just like, this is a great deal for everyone.
The Rwanda's just sat around apparently just being like, yeah, what's the problem?
Why do you like Rwanda?
Like, this is fine.
I don't know what's the matter with you people.
We're not living 25 years ago.
And if you guess the next one, we have the Rwanda government who gave some statement in which they're just like, yeah, we welcome the partnership.
It's great.
Everyone makes money.
Everyone's better off.
The real asylum seekers get the real asylum.
The fake ones get kicked out.
It's great for everyone.
It stops the, well, people smugglers.
It helps everyone, in fact.
If we go to the next one, though, there is one party in Rwanda that was upset.
I have to include this because it's hilarious.
So you can see the Guardian went with, you know, opposition, criticised the deal.
Oh, what did they say?
They asked one party who has no MPs, so don't care.
They did ask the Green Party, though.
The Green Party of Rwanda.
What did they have to say?
Rwanda has already a high population density, and already land is not sufficient for all of us?
Which I love because it's the Australian response.
If we go to the next one, I don't know if you can click on the second image there.
It's just the Australian, well, the Rwandan version of this.
That's the Rorandon Green Party.
The Green Party's position is no more foreigners.
Refugees not welcome.
It's funny, all the woke lefties hear their arguments in favour of...
Because the UK has incredibly high levels of immigration.
We have net migration.
I think in 2020 it was...
715,000?
That's the official figure.
So realistically, including unofficial people, we're looking at over a million.
An enormous amount of immigration.
And obviously immigration brings a lot of benefits, but the benefits tend to be concentrated in the wealthy people who property prices go up because there's more competition for housing.
You get cheaper nannies, cheaper people doing the menial tasks that people are brought into the country to do instead of...
Rebalance the economy so working people get a better wage.
But if you're a working class person, if you're a builder, all of a sudden you're competing against...
If you're young and looking for a cheap job, too bad.
Yeah, yeah.
If you've got a mortgage and a family and cars and all the rest of it to support, man, you can't compete against three guys who can share a room and they're sending money back home.
So it's not...
Obviously, a certain amount of immigration is necessary and helpful and useful to society.
It's a mass immigration.
We're not even at the stage of talking about legal immigration, though.
This is purely about people who are taking the piss.
And fighting-age young men from ideologies that are slightly...
If we go to the next one, we can see also, because we covered this when it first came out, which is the Danish government were actually the ones initially to start up this negotiation, and the Danish government is working with us because, well, we're doing it as a joint thing.
And they came up with the idea, and the British were like, hey, can we get in on this?
And then we've taken over the process, it seems, which...
That's neat.
But also, it's very misogynistic to say Rwanda's a terrible place.
Yeah.
Don't you know there are feminists?
All of them are feminists.
They have the most feminist government around.
Do they?
I'm not even joking.
Let's go to the next link.
Let's go to their website for their parliament here.
61% of MPs are women.
Oh my god!
Ridiculously high.
The highest in the world.
I want to go to Rwanda.
All the women in parliament.
You might wonder how that happened.
Imagine if they all get in sync.
Yeah, but we joke about identity politics, and if you want to see a real-world example of them trying this, well, here you have it, in which they have basically a one-party state, because, well, and partly because of this, because 24 of the seats in the parliament are made for women.
Yeah.
As in, you're a woman, be an MP. Like, just there to represent women.
That is your whole purpose.
And the argument being the reason they put this in the Constitution, I read, was that they decided that it was mostly men that caused the genocide 25 years ago.
Therefore, women in the Parliament, no more genocide.
Well, has there been a genocide since?
No.
It's working!
The system works.
We need to do that here in case we have genocide.
If we go to the next one, I don't know if you...
This is the Constitution.
I won't go through it, but it's just in here.
They mention that 24 seats have to be women made by the Electoral College, which I just find hilarious.
That's the Constitution.
Because what a show.
If we go to the next one, there's also a story here in which the Guardian are very mad.
Omar here, an asylum seeker.
He's absolutely gutted that he's going to find out what Rwandan hospitality is like.
And I was going to go through his long story.
He's upset that he's been sent to Rwanda.
He's going to be safe!
It's going to be fine.
But here's the thing as well.
He gives us this big long story about his life, how he got here.
And it's so not justifying what he's done.
Because he's so typical.
He's a man who's decided to come to the UK because he speaks English and he says he's got family here.
Except that that's of course something to be disputed until it's proven.
However, he traveled through pretty much every safe country on Earth before he got here.
The only thing that accepts him from the average person of the sea people is that he came from Afghanistan.
And when they actually polled, I remember because they did a video on this, 50% of those who come across from the sea people are Iranian.
Right.
Not even fleeing a war.
Right.
Like, okay, well you're not all gay.
Yeah.
Like, come on.
In which case you could have stopped off anywhere else along the way.
So it's, again, just nonsense.
And a lot of people convert to Christianity when they get to the UK. Because then they can say, well, I can't be sent back to wherever that is because they persecute Christians.
But also, I've left Islam so I'd be killed.
So I've got to stay here now.
Convenient timing to convert and believe in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
You may wonder why I get so mad about this.
Why do you get so mad about this?
Well, I've got a good reason, which is that I've...
Well, if we go to the next one, this is an interview we did, and I'm going to plug this, a premium video on this here.
It's an interview with Jeanne Park, and she's a North Korean defector who then got refugee status after her story and ended up in the UK. And could not be more legitimate.
And we've mentioned this a million times.
I've got a thing of a fetish with looking at the horror that is North Korea.
And you go through story after story from defector, and you're just sat there reading it, being like, you know, I hope on the next page they make it to South Korea.
I hope they're safe.
Because you know, if they get deported from China, they go back to North Korea into a concentration camp.
That's a refugee.
Not someone who's in France, and if they get found out, they get told, please go home.
By the way, we won't check up on you.
Like, no.
These people are not legitimate when they're taking up spaces for genuine people who are in absolute hell.
Yeah.
And also sort of smearing the genuine refugees as, you know, makes everybody suspicious of genuine refugees because they're like, well, is he really a refugee?
I mean, it used to be a given.
If you go back and watch the debates of like the 2000s about this, people would always say, well, refugees, of course, because that's fine.
There wasn't a question that refugees would ever be illegitimate.
Whereas in the modern day, they so often are, because of the way our system works.
And there's an industry growing up around it of lawyers and people who represent them, and all these lengthy appeals processes which drag on for years.
They get taxpayers' money to do that.
And they all read the Guardian.
But anyway, that's my personal hatred for this circumstance and why I'm so bitter about it.
I'd also like to mention, if you go to the next one here, GM Park has now published a book.
I haven't been able to give it a read, but if you enjoyed the interview and would like to know more about her life, well, there you are.
You can go give that a read.
So that's an evil right-wing person promoting the book of a female refugee from North Korea.
Yeah, she's actually a member of the Conservatives as well.
She's run as a councillor.
She's running again in this election, so if you're voting in, I believe it was Barry, I have that wrong.
If you're voting in that constituency, you have to vote for her.
Yeah.
No one else.
Otherwise, that's it.
That's the Rwandan solution to our sea people problem, which is, if you're legitimate, you'll come back.
If you're not...
Hey, if it's good enough for the EU, which, according to a lot of the flags and the blue tick people on Twitter, the EU's a good thing.
So if it's good enough for the EU, surely it's good enough for the UK. Good enough for the EU, good enough for Denmark, good enough for the UN. They'll be fine.
It's not inhumane in the slightest.
And we support genuine refugees.
I support Rwanda.
Let's go to the video comments.
Hello there, Leo.
I hope you can understand me okay.
I'm still practicing my Scottish.
I'm actually from Clam McMillan on my dad's side, though I never learned the language.
Anyways, I want to say I'm really glad that you joined up with the team.
You're the definition of color commentary and endlessly amusing, and I really appreciate it.
I just got one critique, if you don't mind.
I do mind.
Could you do your segments about things that aren't yourself?
It's just not interesting to me, personally.
Anyway, speaking of my dad, he's got this knife you see.
It's so big, it's banned in the UK. Fuck!
A knife up your ass, you fucking...
Don't sweat!
Man, he says...
So he says I do stuff about myself.
I was talking about, what was it today?
The, like, lefty nonce theatre?
You do segments sometimes about stuff on Twitter.
Yeah, I do stuff about myself sometimes when it's something that's, like, of national importance.
The Victoria Corrin thing.
So the thing that I did last time.
I can't help it if my life's more interesting than yours.
You fake American Scottish.
I hate Americans.
They're like, if you go back, I'm Scottish with Dad.
You're a lovely guy.
Well, he's not a lovely guy right now.
He's criticising me.
Like, the Victoria Corrine issue, it was reported widely in the newspapers.
It was on TV. But it's not really about me.
It's a wider issue, which is wokists smearing people as racist.
And they use that to minimise and basically erase right-wing voices to get us banned from comedy.
It's happened to me.
It's happened to me before.
I'm with Simon Ferdows from the Live Comedy Association.
Call me racist.
Victoria Corrin calls me racist.
So it's about more than just me.
Also, it's a popular video.
Over 100,000 views.
I did one about it as well.
That's got another 80,000 views.
So, you know, I don't think it's a nonsensical thing to talk about.
Chad Dad said he didn't enjoy it.
Well, Chad Dad, you can watch something else.
And next time you got a critique from me, why don't you write it down on a bit of paper and shove it up your arse and Can I swear more?
No.
Well, I'm not allowed to swear more.
The mildest type of criticism.
Yeah, I don't like any...
The mildest criticism is the worst kind.
Because you're not even allowed to just go off on one other person.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's like...
What, I'm in school now?
Don't like a thing about the...
Man, you know what I mean?
You can watch anything on the internet.
You've got the internet.
When I'm on, you can go and, like, play Tetris.
I suppose we'll move to the next one.
Some recent Darker Lotus Eaters podcasts have raised the subject of the death penalty.
Now, if you think there's such a thing as a civilised method of killing, then you're almost certainly wrong.
Heads cut off by the guillotine were able to be roused up to two minutes after execution by shouting the condemned's name.
In hanging, the head is shrouded for the same reason.
The neck is broken, but the brain not killed.
BBC's Horizon in 2008 saw Michael Portillo study the issue in case the death penalty should be legalised in Britain.
He settled on hypoxia, which was painless and guaranteed results.
That's interesting, yeah.
That's pretty cool.
I don't know what to say about that.
Yeah.
And did they, I mean, the shrouding the head during hangings, is that like a new development?
Because I'm sure in the old days they used to hang them so you could see the face.
Because people, I mean, it was a huge spectator sport.
People would get picnics and stuff and go and watch the hanging, yell abuse at the people as they were led up to the thing.
Even though it's quite often for pretty minor stuff, like coming up with a policy involving Rwanda or, yeah, like stealing bread or I'm trying to remember.
I don't...
I have no idea when it changed.
Because it's weird, isn't it?
Because it's sort of an admission that this is a bit improper.
Yeah.
And then they stopped being public as well.
So, you know, the last hangings in the West...
You've been to Oxford Castle.
No.
So they used to do hangings outside on a raised platform for the audience to see.
But then people started stealing bits of clothes and it got a bit manic.
So then they had to move the hangings onto the top of the castle so that people couldn't steal bits of the deceased.
So you'd like rip...
Like, Beatlemania, or were they actually...
Mum, I got a bit of his trousers.
Right, right, no way.
Yeah.
People did used to enjoy it.
Let's go to the next one.
Yeah.
If you'd like, I could do a quick review on some of my favourite textbooks that I used while homeschooling through the middle and higher grades and stuff.
I think that homeschooling is an amazing thing for a child to have, and it's not...
It's not necessarily expensive, it's more that you have to change to a single income family as one parent stays at home to educate their children.
This is interesting.
I was thinking because I'm having a baby and I was thinking about homeschooling because I don't want my kid to be groomed by green-haired genderqueers.
But the great thing about being a comedian is most of your work is in the evening.
So my wife does legal stuff.
You could actually teach him stuff.
I could stay at home during the day and do the baby stuff.
Although then I was thinking, we're having a girl and I want a boy.
So if I send the kid to state school, all this genderqueer stuff is going to get indoctrinated.
And then she'll decide to transition.
And then I'll have the son that I want.
I feel like a better solution might be to just keep trying, Leo.
I feel like it'll be more fun as well.
Yeah.
Maybe I'll do that.
Let's go to the next one.
So here's a 30-second book review of Gazkol Thraka, Prophet of the Wa, by Nate Crowley.
This is definitely an orc book, probably even better than Brutal Cunnin, because there's less admech and more just orcs.
The book is told mostly through flashbacks, as Gazkol's personal grot is interrogated by a member of the Inquisition to learn more about him.
You get to learn a lot about the orc's way of life.
It is just as hilarious as you think it is.
The book is about 8 hours instead of the usual 12 to 14, so a bit shorter.
I'd give it a solid 8.5 out of 10.
If you like orcs, you will like this book.
Maybe I should do a book club on some of these things.
I got a bit of obsession with orcs.
You don't know anything about 40k, right?
No.
Okay, so the orcs are a race in there who are the most funny race of all because they're really stupid but they just have instincts that guide them and it leads them to living their lives in the most light...
Sort of brain-dead, but also likeable way possible.
They just love war, so that's why they're obsessed with war.
And they just do it for fun.
There's no purpose whatsoever.
But they're horrific, because there'll be hordes and hordes of them that'll come over the hills and just slaughter everything.
And even if they lose, they're just like, well, it's not fun.
So, didn't lose.
Sounds like Russia.
There are some comparisons to their tactics there, but I'll have to send you a video about them sometime, because it's...
It's just the way they think about things makes you laugh.
I love that Russia's, that massive ship, the Moskva, named after Moscow.
Flagship, isn't it?
Yeah, flagship in the Black Sea.
One of only three of that class of proper big ship in the Russian Navy, to use the technical term.
It's sunk by Ukraine.
It's amazing.
I'm on the Telegram channels where people post all the footage and all the rest of it.
It's full of Russian.
Basically, you've got these nerdy Western kids who are pro-Putin because they don't know who their dad is, so they're desperate for some sort of male figure in their life, even though Putin's this bloated, fat, weak, old guy.
And there's actual Russian people who are pro.
I've been really enjoying.
I've been masturbating constantly to their tears.
It's absolutely fantastic.
I love it.
I just want all my taxes.
I just want spent on weapons for Ukraine.
So they can sink Russian ships.
I think that is at least a better spending than on a family sex show.
Yeah.
See the next one.
Well, if it isn't sussy, Jack...
Bro, are you high?
Let me check.
Yes.
High on American spirit.
That's a nice argument.
Why don't you back it up with a source?
My source is that I made it the f*** up.
Check the internet lately.
Write it.
Hop on Twitter.
You need to see this.
F***, I hate this website.
It's all f***ing bleep s***, write it.
It doesn't make any sense.
I'm being distracted with other nonsense.
And that's just the beginning.
Imagine a world f***ing free of cancel culture where no one can call me out for my outlandish claims.
A world where I can say the N-word.
I love the prank of you, Loco.
That's great.
Good meme.
High quality meme.
Let's go to the next one.
Well, here's a bit of a nostalgia.
My first mechanical suit from back in 2018.
If Elon was working on Iron Man suits instead of SpaceX, maybe it would've given me a big ol' cup of money.
And it wouldn't have taken me so long to make my power armor.
But you know it doesn't do well to focus on what could have been.
Focus on what is, and how you can make it work to your advantage.
I love the little boxing gloves in the end.
Yeah, got to keep it safe.
Yeah, that stuff's wicked though.
Like when I was a kid, I would have lost my mind seeing that.
That's a question actually.
Do you just keep it to yourself?
Like in your garage and then you have fun with it?
I think I went and actually googled him and I think he goes to like, you know, events and stuff like that.
Like, you know, Village Fates or whatever the equivalent of what that is in America and has the displays.
And I can't remember if he goes into schools...
As well.
But, man, that is something that should get kids interested in mechanics and engineering and all that kind of stuff.
And it's just cool.
It's way better than sending in, like, lefty groomers.
Yes, let's send in a dry cream story hour or the engineering mecha-man.
Yeah, yeah.
Tony D and Little Joan with another legend at the Pines from Weird New Jersey Magazine comes the story of the Atlantic City atomic bombs.
In July of 1957, the Air Force was moving atomic bombs in this plane when it lost two engines and the crew was forced to jettison weight.
They dropped two atomic bombs without their cores into the ocean off the coast of Atlantic City.
They landed the plane safe, but the bombs were never recovered.
What?
Yeah.
I mean, I do wonder sometimes if they were and just they don't tell anyone.
Because the other horrific thing about the missing bombs, I think it's Lemano made a great video about this, is that the Soviet Union claims that they never lost any.
Right.
Which is like, that's obviously not true.
Yeah, yeah.
In the slightest.
Yeah, yeah.
The Americans say they've lost like 20 or something.
And then until 1994, which they just don't tell you how many they've lost since.
Right.
How did they lose them?
It's just accidents, so when you're transporting them, it's usually the most popular one.
The other one, I think it was a submarine that sunk, so they fired the torpedoes to get rid of them.
They just couldn't find them again.
They're just gone.
It's just like, fantastic.
So there's just nuclear bombs all over the world, most of them in the ocean.
No one knows where they are.
So I guess they'll corrode through eventually, and then there'll be that radiation.
But I guess it's actually not, you know...
People overblow the impact of radiation.
Yeah, it's not really a problem when it's in the ocean, because there's just way too much water.
Yeah.
It's not that much of an issue.
The worry is that it might just explode one day and cause a bit of a disturbance.
Right.
But the lucky thing there, if it's deep enough again, it doesn't cause that much.
Yeah, yeah.
There's some wonderful simulations of what if you dropped the bombs on a rush from Nagasaki in the Mariana Trench?
Yeah.
Blew them up, and on the surface it's just nothing.
Right, yeah, yeah.
It's too much water.
Yeah.
Sorry, just go check out Lemmono's video on that.
Minimizes the reality of black and brown students.
Black and brown are capitalized.
Don't care.
But also it's...
Wow.
That's a lot of words.
Too bad I'm not reading them.
I did feel that way, having to read them.
Every time, because it was some lady just giving her, oh, this is my experience of yesterday, and it's just like...
It's a block of text.
Kite it down, woman.
It's just unbearable.
Anyway, let's go to the written comments on the site.
So, we'll start off with Alex Ogle.
Well, that was an unfortunate video overrun with Chad Dad, appearing immediately after the Bristolian nonsense.
I think clarification is in order.
Apparently, Chad Dad's video comment came up right off the end of the nonsense video.
So, just transitions.
Yeah.
So on to Elon Salt Mining Incorporated.
Shaker Silver says, even if Twitter is owned by Musk, how much actual influence could this have to populist discourse online?
I think it would incredibly help on that question first, because...
He's going to change the parameters in which the company works to stop censoring anything that is anti-progressive.
And so you will end up with a lot more people on that as time goes on.
The thing I'm interested in is whether or not he'll change the way they ban people.
Because if you get banned now, you're banned for life.
He's gone.
A million years.
The hell?
Why is it not a year?
I mean, you give people prison sentences and they can't be more than 70 or whatever.
So, I'd like to see him change that because I'd like to see all the people who have been banned in the past back on.
And if they call for the death of someone and they get kicked off again...
Okay, fine.
But then two years later, they're back on again.
You can always do a ratcheting thing, so it doubles every time.
So start with a day, two days, and then it quickly gets into unbelievable lengths.
Yeah.
I'm always worried about this idea that you ban someone for life from your platform.
This doesn't just go for Twitter, it's everyone.
Yeah, yeah.
I can understand why, because it's simpler to deal with, but it's inhuman.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Yeah.
And you're removing people from the public square.
Yeah, you've exactly killed them.
Yeah.
Forever.
Yeah.
So while Meta, Google, Apple, and Microsoft are all larger, Twitter seems to have an inordinate of political importance due to how much it's used for political messaging and organizing.
Well, that second point is definitely true.
The political messaging, I don't think people care that much about what's on Twitter for learning about what's going on.
But it's the MPs, the organizers.
Holy crap, they're all there.
And holy crap, do they care about what's said on that for some reason?
You meet conservative MPs, so we're worried about saying that trans women are not women.
Yeah, because you can get banned.
Yeah, but they're worried about it in their day-to-day lives, because they think that everyone's on their seats upset about this, and it's like, they're not.
Yeah, yeah, it's just Twitter.
It's a different world.
Yeah.
But it's mad, you get banned from Twitter for stating biological facts.
Okay, dude, as Zuby said.
Yeah, yeah.
Remember that?
I don't know if you know Zuby, but he responds to someone just saying, okay, dude.
Right, yeah.
And they banned him for that.
Right, right.
It's like, he's got it on his shirt now.
It's great.
Alex L says what if Musk is playing 4D chess and is actually doing this to bring spotlights on all the massive stakeholders in Twitter such as Vanguard, BlackRock and the Saudi Kingdom to main a few he can't lose He's already won in that regard.
I think it's a great move from him.
I mean, what?
Even if he loses some money, what is it?
A billion dollars?
Yeah.
A two hundredth of your wealth?
Yeah.
Oh dear.
I'm Elon Musk.
What do I care?
Binary Surfer says, this is the win-win situation for the right.
They collude openly against Elon, block him.
the right should learn that playing the game to recapture the institutions cannot work even if a billionaire is helming the attempt.
What is left is to work outside the system or burn it the F down.
Learning this lesson and having this data is a clear win for us.
If he takes over, also a win, smart fella.
It's a very true binary.
Jonathan Crowe says, Shall we move on to the Bristol?
The non-show, yeah.
So Chad Dad says, I'm sorry, Leo, for saying that.
I love hearing about your life and I love your voice.
No, I didn't.
So thank you, Chad Dad.
I humbly accept your apology and I hope you enjoyed your meal, whatever you're cooking in your kitchen.
Maria Manzi says, the Bristol Family Sex Show fetch the wood chipper!
Good solution.
George Happ says, That's a good point.
It's a trap.
You get there.
If you brought your kids, it's like, whoa, why brought your kids to this?
Small L Libertarian, although he's written it with a large L when he actually writes it, says, My twin girls turned six today in an attempt to show me how grown up they are, and after a lot of junk food, one of them shat themselves 30 minutes ago.
Yep, definitely feel like they're ready for the birds and the bees talk.
That's great.
Omar Awad says, secondary to child rape, I think the most devious part of grooming efforts is convincing normal people that it isn't grooming at all, and thus allowing it to continue in periphery.
And this is what has happened before.
Lots of parents defended the Catholic Church and minimised what the victims had said.
A lot more harm is going to be done before the pendulum starts swinging back the right way, and I only pray it happens before a truly violent backlash is warranted.
Sophie Liv Peterson says, the thing about theatre is that nonsense people always think they're being artsy just because they're naked in the show.
It's totally true.
Like, there's so much of that in place.
What's the one where they brought some farm animals into London?
Because, oh, look, farm animals.
That's weird.
Yeah.
And there were some naked women hanging around the goats, and they're like, yeah, this is art.
Yeah.
Yeah, and going, like, man, I've been going to the Fringe for, for you, Edinburgh Fringe for years, and it's just, it's full of that, full of that stuff.
Kevin Fox says, I only have one question about the family sex show.
Does it feature the dildo monkey?
If it doesn't, then I'm not going to see it.
I'm not going to see it anyway, but even less so if dildo monkey isn't appearing.
Do you remember the dildo monkey?
I remember the dildo monkey man with his naked red butt went into a children's library to teach them about, well, dildos and red butts.
And the Labour Party were like, that's our guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then there was a backlash because he had a big dildo hanging off the front of his monkey suit.
And people were like, this isn't appropriate for children.
And they were like, oh yeah, okay.
Oh, we didn't think you'd see it that way.
I love the late party trying to backtrack on that.
They were like, we had no idea the dildo monkey was inappropriate for children.
You did?
How?
On what planet?
But it is the party behind the Iraq war, so morality isn't our strong point.
Anyway, we'll end on the dingy surfers.
Kenneth Perrin says, Glad the Conservatives are doing something they said they would.
Well done for Pretty Patel for sticking to our guns.
Fair enough, to be honest, yeah.
I remember when we first covered this story, we all laughed at it because it was just like, oh, that's funny.
It'd be really funny if they do it.
They did it.
Apparently they tried with Ghana and Albania and there were legal problems, so the Rwandans were more accepting of refugees.
How progressive.
Sheep83 says, looking forward to seeing how the 95% Christian black ethnostake of Rwanda adopts to some of the cultural enrichment.
Diversity is good, right?
Yeah, we laughed yesterday, me and Carl.
I love the idea that one of them turns up and says, can we build a mosque?
And just the writers are going to look at them and laugh and go, say that again.
Omar Awad says, I haven't read the article, but I preemptively disavow all of the Omars in the comments.
Hashtag not all Omars.
Yeah, I presume, Omar, you weren't writing for The Guardian in that particular section.
But otherwise, we're basically out of time, so we'll end it here.
So if you want more from us, of course, lowseers.com.
Please do subscribe to get access to all the premium content and help support the show.
For those of you who are, thank you very much.
Where would they find you?
I'm on YouTube.
I do videos.
Sometimes they're about myself.
So, Chad Dad, you might not want to subscribe to that one.
But yeah, I'm on Twitter as well.
Even more now that I think Elon might be taking over.
But yeah, YouTube is the best place to get me.
Fair enough.
Otherwise, we'll be back Monday.
I always figure what day it is.
We'll be back Monday, 1 o'clock.
Thank you and goodbye.
