	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 17th of June 2022.
	I'm joined by Leo.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about Arabic Pride Month, the celebrity Rwanda reactions, and also the fact-checkers getting fact-checked themselves.
	Yeah.
	When people say fact-checkers, it sounds like fact-checkers, which would be like Chubby Checker, the old musician.
	Isn't Jordan Peterson him?
	Did you see his response to the Times front page or something and there was a slightly chubby lady and he was just like, not attractive.
	Oh yeah, he said objectively not attractive.
	Trouble with that is Jordan Peterson isn't attractive himself.
	No, he is.
	You fancy Jordan Peterson?
	Well, not me, but I imagine a woman would.
	Callum fancies Jordan Peterson, he just said it.
	P-I-S-S-I-N-G. Anyway, do you see the most recent one who was like, is attractive, this one, as well?
	Like, he's become the fat checker, as you're alluding to there.
	Anyway, we shall...
	Yeah, there we go.
	There's the tweet from Jordan Peterson.
	Okay, she might be beautiful, smiley face.
	There you are.
	Anyway, we'll get into the news itself instead.
	We should begin with Arabic Pride Month.
	So, it is the holy month of the year in the West.
	It's not Ramadan.
	It's Pride Month, of course.
	And we've gone through a lot of the cringe reactions from the British government, the American government, so forth.
	Some of the more unsavory things from Pride and whatnot.
	But I thought we'd check in with Pride in Arabia.
	Hmm.
	Which they're very tolerant of.
	Is it popular there?
	It's a big thing.
	It's right to the roofs, really, is where it's taking place.
	It's pretty horrible, but I thought we'd go through and just see the Arabic reaction to some American government policy, I'll put it lightly.
	But firstly, I shall mention that we are hiring, so if you go to our page, you can see on the careers we have opportunities for video editors and for content producers, so podcast hosts.
	So you can go over to lotusears.com to check out the jobs on the careers section, right at the bottom, if you scroll to the bottom.
	Otherwise, we shall get into the news.
	So, if we go to the next one, we have the fact that, like every year, our holy month comes around in the West, and every corporation decides to say that, hello, my fellow kids, I'm also homosexual, for five minutes.
	As you can see there, this is Titania McGrath making the point with all the different logos on the different corporation Twitter accounts.
	They all change.
	I don't know if you can click on number three there.
	Microsoft's one is the weirdest one, frankly.
	Look at that.
	Look at that on the left.
	What is that?
	Just a myriad of colours in the top there.
	No idea.
	Anyway, but the Arabic version, of course.
	Microsoft Golf.
	Nothing.
	Normal day.
	Business as usual.
	And it's the same for every other corporation that is presented there.
	And this is stupid because the battle for gay rights has pretty much been won in the West.
	There's a reason every corporation is comfortable doing it.
	Yeah, there's some finessing around, you know, should trans women be allowed in sport or to teach your children naked sex shows and stuff.
	But, you know, in general, you know, there's equal rights.
	There is a hot debate on that issue, I'll give you that.
	We've stopped throwing gay people off buildings and stuff.
	I mean, there is still some...
	There's still some beheadings in Ireland recently, but that was actually not somebody who could trace his lineage back to Somerset.
	That was somebody with a different ideology.
	The same happened in Redding, of course, which is a bunch of gay men were stabbed to death by an Anglo-Saxon, I'm sure.
	But anyway, there's the...
	If companies really want to affect social change where it's needed, man, you need to be going to Saudi Arabia, you need to be going to Uganda and saying, look, gay people should have equal rights, you should treat them well.
	So the fact that they're not shows that they're not doing this to affect any social change, any positive social change.
	They're jumping on a safe bandwagon.
	They have no convictions to go to the Arab world and do this because it's not really what it's about.
	I mean, coming from a Nazi company like Mercedes-Benz as well, what were you expecting?
	But if we go to the next one, there is someone who has some convictions, which is the United States government.
	And the United States government has a very big conviction in its newest ideology, of course, being intersectionalism, now at the highest levels of government endlessly.
	I mean, there was a little bit of it under Obama in the late years, but it was still kind of a fringe ideology.
	And then, as you see with Biden, it is fully party and government policy at this point.
	Here we have the State Department raising the progress flag and celebrating that they've The United States stands firmly for fighting with LGBTQI plus people at home and everywhere.
	It's a weird phrase.
	I would have thought they said abroad, but apparently not.
	But if we go to the next one, we can see that how did this happen abroad?
	Well, they've done it in the past.
	They tried this with the Black Lives Matter flags.
	The embassy's doing this.
	That was up for all of five minutes because this is under Donald Trump, who said, what the hell are you doing?
	You're an embassy, not a campaigning group, you morons!
	This is not your place, never mind the fact that also Black Lives Matter is a, well, money laundering scheme, it seems.
	But if we go to the next one here, we can see the fact that, well, this time around, for this year's Holy Month, we have the military engaging.
	I mean, every branch of government, this is just the funniest, being the Marine Corps, who are like, yes, proud to serve.
	Rainbow paint, presumably, on their fates.
	It makes you more noticeable in a combat situation if you've got a big rainbow on your helmet.
	I mean your helmet on your head.
	They've got to be out and proud somehow, so perhaps both.
	But if we go to the next one, we can see where the Western road ends up leading, or at least where intersectionism ends up leading.
	And, well, this is where a lot of people in the West are looking at ourselves and thinking, what the hell are we doing as a civilization?
	And this is the example here from the Babylon Bee folks.
	A small child, perhaps five or six, stuffs money into the underwear of a nearly naked drag queen as parents look on smiling and taking pictures.
	And remember, this doesn't just stay in the West, these images.
	The internet allows the entire world to see the worst aspects of the West and wonder what the hell we're doing and why they should follow our example.
	I mean, this is basically a recruitment ad for ISIS. Yes.
	A very effective one.
	Indeed, I imagine.
	I mean, I'm tempted to join myself.
	Aeop, you unbeliever.
	If we go to the next one here, we can see that this is obviously condemned elsewhere.
	I just want to make that point.
	As you can see here, this is a drag queen who has, I've mentioned previously many times, the fact that she comes out and just says, what the hell are these drag queens doing?
	Like, this is, I perform for adults and only for adults, not kiddos.
	So, the...
	A lot of drag queens, a lot of gay people, very uncomfortable with...
	Certainly, people I've spoken to, very uncomfortable with this because they don't want children coming to Pride events because it's where they get to let their hair down and express themselves in public.
	They don't get to do that very often.
	But if you're expressing yourself sexually, which obviously, being gay, by definition, it's about sexuality.
	So if you're expressing yourself sexually...
	You don't want anything cramping your style.
	You don't want your mum there looking at your wanger.
	And you definitely don't want five-year-old kids looking at it.
	You want to be able to express yourself.
	It seems obvious.
	I really don't understand why the left, because it's a leftist thing.
	It's not an LGB thing.
	It's a leftist thing to think it's a good idea to expose children to these situations and ideas, when they wouldn't dream of like, no leftist would be like, I'm taking my kids to Hooters to learn about the female body for a heterosexual norm.
	That'd be seen as...
	Yeah.
	It's weird.
	Why would you want to be sexual around beings you don't want to be sexual around?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	There you have it.
	But anyway, if we go forward from this, we can see that this has been condemned somewhat.
	But I found this interesting.
	Moving over to the Semitic world.
	Firstly, it was drop-off in Israel before we go into Arabia fully.
	I noticed this tweet.
	Currently at Tel Aviv Pride, it feels like pride of old.
	Not a single progress flag.
	The rainbow seal seems to mean something here.
	And this dude's telling the truth, it seems.
	Because I looked into it.
	If you go to the next one, we can see the fact that this is Tel Aviv Pride with a verified checkmark.
	Do you notice any progress flags?
	Those racial pride flags with the black and brown stripe or the intersectional phalanx?
	No.
	It's all just normal rainbow ones, which...
	I found strange, to say the least.
	But then if we go to the next one, I have seen at least one progress flag, as you can see, from the American ambassador.
	Of course, the Yankees keep turning up, specifically the Democrat Yankees, to be clear to the Republican guys out there who fight this, turning up with their disgusting intersexualism and trying to force it on everyone in the world, including, well, apparently Tel Aviv Pride, who want nothing to do with that stuff.
	However, now we move to the Arab interactions, which are not so welcoming as Tel Aviv there.
	As you see, Andy Ngo reporting here.
	The government of Kuwait has summoned a high-level US diplomat over the following tweet celebrating LGBTQ plus month.
	Kuwait says its tweet violates international norms and infringes on the country's Islamic laws.
	Which, um, uh, yes.
	It would.
	That is true.
	Which is, uh, you know, I can't imagine the Kuwaitis were too happy about this.
	But what I find interesting, you can see that's an English version?
	See the English text saying all human beings, blah blah blah blah blah.
	And it says President of the United States is a champion for human rights of LGBTQI persons?
	Hashtag Pride 2022.
	Hashtag You're Included.
	You go to the next one, because obviously there's an Arabic version.
	They dropped the Q&I from the LGBT part of this tweet.
	There's no Q&I anymore.
	An interesting discrepancy, which they decided to do.
	And also the you were included whatnot, and that's all gone.
	Instead, they just have the first part of the tweet there, which is toned down compared to Western rhetoric.
	It's still quite toned up compared to traditional Kuwaiti rhetoric.
	I imagine so.
	But as you can see there, they then also have the racial pride flag as well.
	Yeah, the Kuwaitis didn't take kindly to this, to say lightly.
	If we go to the next one here, we can see the BBC News reporting on this.
	Pride Month, Kuwait criticizes US Embassy of a pro-LGBT post.
	And Kuwaiti officials criticized the embassy for supporting homosexuality and demanded it didn't happen again.
	The foreign ministry ordered the embassy to respect Kuwaiti laws and not to publish such tweets.
	Kuwaiti officials accused the embassy of violating international conventions, requiring diplomats to respect the laws and regulations of the receiving state.
	Yeah, I mean, it's not like the Kuwaitis don't have an argument there, technically, which is, of course, that, you know, they're an Islamic country, what did you think their opinion was going to be?
	Which is not popular in that regard, never mind getting into the gender ideology rather than just homosexual acceptance, which are two different things.
	I mean, that's one of the things that makes me kind of...
	I hate to say it, kind of sympathetic in the sense of, as you can see, the progress flag being used instead of the one that's being used in Israel, for example.
	But what is that about?
	That's about intersectional ideology, LGBT ideology, as it has been called in Poland, for example, versus homosexual acceptance, which is fine and good, whereas the other is not.
	they say many conservative Kuwaiti Twitter users responded with similar outrage to the US Embassy pride post including an MP Osama al-Shawin who wrote the behavior of our American Embassy is unacceptable foreign embassies must respect public order of Kuwait and its official religion he added another Kuwaiti social media user accused US officials of imposing a diseased and decadent culture on a conservative Muslim society which yeah Arabs for ya
	It's their opinions, and we're going to say what they are.
	But there's the thing, which is, you can just see the responses.
	You don't have to read about the cherry-picked ones.
	Go to twitter.com and check them out, because, you know, there's Arabic Twitter.
	One of the messed up things about Arabic Twitter is they let things trend that they would never let trend in the West.
	I don't know if you know about that.
	They once had a post trends by a hashtag that was literally just like kill blank.
	Let's put it that way.
	Twitter was okay with that in the Arab world.
	Right.
	Nothing to say.
	It trended for I think like a week.
	Right.
	If a woman in Scotland sticks up for the suffragettes or tries to defend female only spaces then...
	Needs to go.
	Instantly banned.
	Yeah.
	As you can see, the individual here typing in their spaghettis.
	If you scroll down here, they have the fact that they just have the Yankee go home response, which, to be honest, I do find funny, because I've seen it in previous posts, even from the Israelis there, who, as you can see, the Americans turned up with their progress flag, whereas the Israel Pride were like, no, none of that.
	Let me go to the next one.
	We have the umbrella memes as well.
	Sorry, this is the gender memes first, as you can see.
	I love how you can see the fact that the Western memes and the Western world's memes translate all over the globe and get reused.
	If you go to the next one here, you can see that I think this is the rainbow one that has been reused by, as you can see, a Muslim individual who's responded with that, which, okay, I guess we're learning about the Islamic understanding of the world, if nothing else.
	And if you go to the next one, this is apparently a poster somewhere in the Arab world.
	Which...
	What the hell?
	What does the umbrella say?
	I don't know.
	I can't translate it.
	Perhaps an Arabic-speaking audience member can tell us in the chat because I don't speak Arabic.
	But I find it weird how Western memes have become...
	Western meme culture, in a sense, have become something in the Arab world.
	As you can see, it's a small sample that I've had to do because there's a lot more.
	A lot of them not broadcastable as well.
	Of course, it being the Arab world and all, but people can go and check that out in their own time, I suppose.
	We've got the next one here.
	This is one of the funniest things I found of the holy month taking place in Arabia.
	Oh yeah, we covered this on GB News.
	This is really funny to me, if nothing else.
	I don't know if you've seen the video, but we'll reply in a minute.
	Saudi authorities seize rainbow toys for contradicting Islamic faith and public morals.
	They got rid of the rainbows.
	And obviously the rainbow toys, they're not being sold there as part of Pride or as any LGBTQ thing.
	It's literally just because kids like rainbows.
	You know, kids like rainbow-coloured stuff.
	And there's a video of them.
	It shows the Ministry of Vice and Virtue, I think it is.
	I can't remember which.
	Going round and just binning.
	They're just chucking all these rainbow-coloured toys in the bin.
	Which, I mean, it's progress.
	I mean, they used to just do that with gay people.
	So now they're doing it with rainbow-coloured toys.
	They're just doing it with the toys.
	So it's progress of sorts and binning them.
	But this, I mean, I don't know where it's filmed.
	It could be in the Irish tourist board gift shop.
	Irish people have had the rainbow.
	That's been an Irish symbol for a long time.
	Has it?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The rainbow with the pot of gold at the end of it.
	Oh, right, right.
	Of course, of course.
	The old traditional symbol of Ireland.
	The little leprechaun, yeah.
	It's sort of been hijacked by the LGBTQ movement.
	How dare they?
	The small people of Ireland should rise up.
	I see people responded saying apparently it says al-Sharia, so, you know, Sharia.
	Other people saying it might stand for straight pride, so I guess we'll see.
	They say in here that we are giving a tour of the items that contradict the Islamic faith and public morals and promote homosexual colours.
	I love that.
	Homosexual colours.
	Targeting the younger generation, said the Commerce Ministry worker involved in the campaign.
	The homosexuality flag is presented in one of the Riyadh markets, a journalist added.
	I love the idea of a random guy in Riyadh having a flag that just...
	Yeah, this is for homosexuality.
	Yeah, I don't think...
	I mean, this seems like getting rid of anything that's got colours on it in case it turns children homosexual.
	It seems a bit too much.
	And on the other hand, sending drag queens into schools to show children their penises is also a bit too much.
	Maybe there's some sensible middle ground between these two.
	You would have always hoped, but frankly, I mean, the more and more we seem to look at the world, I seem to find, I don't know if you do too, that it seems that humans just go to the extremes, frankly, in their policy, and we end up with one or the other every time.
	Never end up with anything sensible.
	But one shopkeeper protested the sweep, because it was his products, presumably, saying the apparently offending items are simply rainbow-coloured, nothing more.
	Hmm.
	I love the idea that, no, secretly he's like, damn, I was going to get my agenda out there.
	The Hello Kitty dolls.
	And I love, if you go to the next link here, you can see the Saudis posted this on Twitter.
	I don't know if Twitter's banned in Saudi Arabia.
	It probably is.
	I don't know.
	It's banned in Iran.
	And this is really funny because they added backing music to make themselves sound cool.
	It's like they're doing a drugs bust like the Americans do on Twitter when they raid something on the southern border.
	And it is weird how there's the sort of...
	I don't know if we can scroll down a little bit to see the full video, but there's the sort of contrast of...
	They've got the full-on...
	What's it called?
	The kefir?
	Whatever the headdress is called.
	I can't remember what it's called.
	Yeah, the full-on headdress.
	But then they've also got their ministerial uniforms.
	So it's like the mundane, apparatchik uniform plus the headdress.
	In the girls' aisle.
	But let's play and have a look.
	That is a cool knife.
	That is a cool knife.
	Look how they've blurred it out.
	They've blurred out the rainbow-coloured toys in case it inadvertently turns us gay.
	Well, you know, God bless.
	Good work, Vision 2030 Saudi bureaucrats there for protecting us from the big gay.
	I can't get over just how they're obviously in the girls section.
	There's loads of dolls and female purses and whatnot around them.
	I don't know what they're gibbering about, but the music as well.
	We've done a drug bust, guys.
	What'd you find?
	Rainbows.
	Not today, Satan.
	Well, there you have it.
	There's the Arabic version of events of what is going on with the Holy Month of Pride, of course.
	But I thought they'd end us off because there is obviously, again, going back to the West, the other extreme that we engage in.
	And as you can see here, this is someone posting.
	Hey, Morrisons.
	Just tagging Morrisons.
	Why are you selling baby grows with the homophobic, misogynistic, politically controversial, and let's face it, aesthetically criminal progress flag on it is nothing sacred.
	And as you can see here, it's clothing for a baby that they've decided to put the racial pride flag on there.
	That's like when you see a baby in a baby grow with like a Ramones, you know, they got the Ramones or Nirvana.
	It's like, I know your baby isn't a Ramones fan.
	It's six months old.
	Ridiculous.
	Like, this is clearly the parent's status symbol.
	Yeah, even if it does like the Ramones, it wasn't there, you know, in the early days, in 1974.
	Somehow.
	But just gross, frankly.
	I don't know what else to call it.
	Like, what kind of parent wants that on their child?
	Like, why would you do that?
	To signal to other people that you're a cool, right-on, left-wing parent.
	Yes, I engage in segregation.
	Don't you know I'm a cool left-winger?
	Okay, we're going back to the olden left-wing, I suppose.
	At least the dam's there.
	And there you have it.
	There's the two extremes of Pride Month and the Arabic Pride Month that's taking place.
	And I found it interesting, if nothing else, that they've been stealing our memes.
	Took our memes.
	So yeah, so I'm going to be talking about the celebrity reactions to the Rwanda scandal.
	But first, I've got to plug this.
	We're doing a roast of Count Dankula on July the 13th at the Backyard Club in London.
	If you can come through, we've got a great lineup.
	I don't know if you know Rob Mulholland and Freddie Quinn.
	They're comedians, a couple of comedians from up north.
	They do a podcast together called, is it Dead Men Talking?
	I can't remember.
	But yeah, they're really funny guys.
	Me and Darius have had them on our show, Hating Live, loads of times.
	It's being emceed by Darius Davies, who's a good mate of mine.
	I do a three-speech podcast with him, and he's hilarious.
	I'm on it as well, so please, if you've got any good roasts for anybody, then send them to me.
	This says send your best roast to hashtag roastdank on Twitter.
	Don't do that.
	Send them direct to me because I am lazy and I can't be bothered writing my own roasts.
	I love how your idea was not to roast Dank, but anyone, even the audience members.
	Oh yeah, no, I'm going to be going through.
	Every little incel in that audience is getting roasted.
	Every tubby little mother's basement little internet warhammer nerd is getting roasted in that audience.
	I hope you're going to be there.
	Are we going to get Darius to roast you?
	I feel like there's going to be some comeback on that if you're going to do that.
	Darius is the most bloodthirsty, no-holds-barred person on the circuit.
	I'm amazed he hasn't been banned yet.
	But yeah, he'll be roasting everybody as well.
	And Darius has got pictures of my penis.
	Funnily enough, me and...
	Why did you send him a picture of your knob?
	He took it.
	I was on stage.
	But Darius tricked me.
	With your knob out?
	Yeah, basically, so there's this show in Edinburgh called Spank, where they do this thing called the Naked Promo.
	Me and Darius were just there having a beer, like, watching.
	And I was chatting and stuff, and I wasn't really paying attention.
	And Darius was like, oh, you can promote your show.
	And there's like 400 people there or whatever.
	I don't think that'll promote the show.
	I'm like, yeah, brilliant.
	But he didn't tell me.
	It's like, you've got to get your knob out.
	So I get up on stage, and I'm like, yeah.
	And they're like, oh, well, get your clothes off.
	And I'm like, what?
	And they're like, it's the Naked Promo.
	You've got to get your clothes off.
	And you didn't think, oh, well, very sorry, I don't need to...
	Well, no, he's going to bag down from some sort of...
	Oh, I'm so scared of getting...
	So, like, obviously I had to get my knob out.
	But the thing is...
	Of course, there's no other routine you can do, right?
	I hadn't had any time to, like, chuck it around.
	So it looked...
	I'm a grower, not a show-er.
	So it wasn't the best.
	So Darren's got a photo and it looked like Jamali Maddox, who's a comedian who used to have a flat top and a big beard.
	And Maddox, because of my pubes and my balls, it looked like Jamali Maddox.
	Has he posted this anywhere?
	It was on the BBC. So at what point did you think, actually, this might be a bad idea?
	Was it when you got on stage and they told you, you've got to get a knob out?
	When you're pulling your trousers down?
	When he pulled out his phone?
	I still don't think it's a bad idea.
	So when it was on the BBC, you were like, well, that was great.
	I don't know if the BBC actually broadcast it, but I did a rap battle with Rob Mulholland, who's going to be at the Dankula Rose thing.
	So me and Rob are battle rapping, or whatever it's called, and I... I was a bit out of my depth, to be honest, but Rob, Darius sent Rob a picture of my, that picture of my penis, and Rob got it printed out on a t-shirt at the end of the rap battle.
	He unzips his top, and he's just like, bam, and it's like a picture of my penis.
	That is a pretty good roast.
	Will Darius be coming with the t-shirt?
	I don't know.
	I've got it.
	I've got that particular t-shirt.
	You know what?
	I don't do that.
	Maybe I can wear it.
	To be honest, I feel like that's the kind of thing Dank would be into, but we'd rather not.
	Have you seen his Discord?
	No.
	It's that kind of filth, just endlessly.
	Is Discord another social media thing?
	Yeah, yeah, he's got his own.
	There's another social...
	Oh, God, they've got to stop making social media things!
	There's too many!
	Dang's got his own and it's just filled with filth.
	I couldn't even say that.
	It was horrible.
	Right.
	Well, yeah, if anybody's got any good roles for Count Dankula or Carl's going to be there, I think Lawrence Fox is attending, all the comedians, anybody, there's other Lord Miles, Rutledge...
	It's a Trousers On event.
	Just look and see who's going and if you've got any generic roasts I could use for anybody.
	Don't say anything pedophile because obviously that's the bottom tier.
	I want really inventive evil.
	I want people to go away and think about their lives and I want it to haunt them.
	So really evil stuff.
	So if you want a good night and some existential dread, there you are.
	Come on down.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So do come along to that.
	So yeah, now I'm going to talk about Rwanda because we have the Rwanda plan.
	I thought the segment was about knobs again.
	No, I mean, there are some knobs.
	I'll go through their tweets.
	But just for a bit of context, so Britain is a high immigration country, and people are generally pretty fine with that now.
	So at the end of 2021, there were 9.6 million people living in Britain who were born overseas.
	And that's 14.5% of the population.
	And this is just the ones we know about.
	Obviously, there's people who come in under the radar.
	Like my mate Bernardo, who came in from Brazil.
	He was working as a driver for a flower company with no driver's license or anything.
	And he got caught and sent back.
	And then he came back in again.
	He flew into Ireland and just came across on the ferry.
	Man, Britain isn't that hard to get into.
	And obviously a lot of people...
	Bernardo's a top bloke.
	The second time he got thrown out, it was a bit more serious.
	It was a road rage incident.
	But he's a good guy.
	It's nice that people want to come here and work and make a life and stuff.
	But Britain's...
	You've got to have some sort of limit.
	There's only a certain amount of sustainable immigration you can have before there's social and economic upheaval and also there's negative effects, which we'll go into.
	But in 2021, people think under the Tories immigration is coming down.
	In 2021, a million visas...
	We're issued to people seeking to come and work or study or live in the UK. So immigration is at the highest point it's ever been.
	But people are pretty cool with it.
	And there are many upsides.
	So you can see this chart of public opinion.
	If we scroll down a little bit, a little bit more.
	A little bit more.
	So this chart shows how public opinion has changed.
	So these are the things that people like about immigration.
	So food and restaurants, they think that's great.
	Immigration brings a lot of...
	More kinds of curry.
	I mean, the thing is, we've got the recipes now.
	So we know how to make the food ourselves.
	Have you ever been to a country that doesn't have loads of immigrants?
	Yeah, I have.
	If you go to Warsaw, Poland, there's no people from Thailand, but you still get Thai food.
	Right.
	Amazing that, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	You don't need the people for the recipes either.
	It's also true.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Fair point.
	Just something weird to me.
	We went to a Thai place and the whole staff were Polish.
	The kitchen staff, the front of the staff.
	It was like, ah.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Fair enough.
	Yeah.
	And Eastern European food can be pretty grim.
	I remember in Latvia, I got this thing.
	I thought it was...
	Because I didn't know what was written on the menu.
	I got this thing.
	I thought it was a block of fish, a block of cod or something.
	What, the lettuce?
	No, like just a fried, you know, bread crumbed and fried.
	And it was cheese.
	This massive slab of cheese.
	Not even tasty cheese.
	Like, just the blandest, like, you know, like, gouda or something like that.
	I mean, it must have been about 3,000 calories of cheese.
	That was a meal.
	That was with chips and everything.
	Yeah, which, I mean, I ate some of it because I'm mental, but, like...
	Well, it's Scottish deep, right?
	Yeah, but these are the other things that people like.
	So they like the entrepreneurialism.
	You know, people come here, they want to work hard.
	They tend to be younger than the population.
	They're filling gaps in the economy.
	Arts and literature, the contribution to culture.
	The NHS, that's another thing.
	You know, people like the contribution to NHS. TV, radio and newspapers, no idea what that means.
	Schools, they're worried about the impact on education.
	is when we start getting into the negative impact and levels of crime and disorder.
	I mean, certainly particular kinds of crime, like grooming gangs, which, you know, obviously, if you're a guardian reader, you don't care about grooming gangs because you're wealthy and your kids go to private school.
	But if you're a working class person in Rotherham or Telford or-- MARK BLYTH: Or perhaps you just think rape is bad.
	Or you could just be one of those rare people who think that 25,000 working class girls being victimised by grooming gangs every year is bad.
	Personally, I think it's wonderful and I think it's some common ground between myself and grooming gangs because I also think that Western women are infidel whores.
	You've got too many death threats from the Taliban again.
	Are you trying to cover up?
	Yeah.
	But there's also the downsides.
	So there's the suppression of working class wages.
	As more people come in, there's more.
	The job market is a market.
	So if you increase the supply, the price goes down.
	And there's pressure on public services, rising housing costs.
	Housing.
	And there's social disharmony due to culture clashes.
	So, yeah, like, you know, there are issues with immigration.
	So, you know, you want to maintain immigration, you know, at a sensible level, and you want to do it in a way that doesn't create too much disharmony, which, you know, this is a cultural thing.
	So somebody from Ukraine or somebody from the Caribbean could come here and, you know, just assimilate perfectly because, you know...
	There would be something to assimilate into.
	Yeah, they've got...
	Similar values to the whole of the UK. Western, liberal, democratic values of tolerance and equality and stuff.
	Whereas somebody from, for example, Afghanistan or Sudan or Somalia or the Middle East might not be able to assimilate as well because they have different ideological values.
	They don't like the rainbow flag and all that sort of stuff.
	You know what I mean?
	So there are cultural issues that have to be dealt with carefully.
	And, yeah, if we move on to the next thing, you know, so we're talking, I mean, 19,000 children were identified as victims of sexual exploitation, grooming gang victims in England, just in England, and just in one year, in 2019.
	And we know this will be a massive underrepresentation.
	But, to be fair, as you say, you know, we have more kinds of curry.
	God saved the NHS, so, you know, swing some roundabouts, really.
	Yeah, I mean, the NHS thing, another thing about that is, so, you know, we take doctors and nurses from other countries, and I mean, that's great for the NHS, but what about those other countries?
	You know, we're a rich country.
	How can we not afford to train up our own nurses and doctors?
	They're also missing out on their own grooming gangs.
	I mean, frankly, Nigeria is at a deficit.
	We should send more Somalis to them.
	I don't think there's any evidence of grooming gangs coming from Nigeria.
	Well, that's the thing.
	They're missing out on this wonderful migration that we have.
	And therefore, we should redirect some people, perhaps, and they can enjoy the benefits too.
	We want to keep them all for ourselves.
	It seems unfair.
	If we're taking...
	Nigeria could invest in training up doctors and nurses, and we just poach them.
	And to me, that seems a little unfair.
	But, you know, there's going to be people watching this who are like, oh, that's racist.
	You can't say that grooming gangs are formed of immigrants.
	Many of them are born here or whatever.
	And it's like, well, that doesn't really, you know, the fact that, you know, even further generations don't integrate and assimilate Western liberal values of tolerance and equality and not forming grooming gangs, that doesn't reassure me.
	There is a game.
	That doesn't reassure me.
	When you read about these cases.
	Do you know the game?
	Where's the game?
	It's Find the Mohammeds.
	You count how many and then the proportion every single time.
	Because remember, it could be a first, a middle, or a last name as well.
	Right.
	So, counts up over time.
	Right.
	Okay.
	And, yeah, I mean, if we look at the, you know, people are like, oh, but there's grooming gangs that, you know, aren't immigrants and stuff.
	And, well, if we look at the faces, if we scroll down a little bit, I don't think these guys are tracing their lineage back to, like, Somerset or Canterbury or whatever.
	You know what I mean?
	At some point, you know what I mean?
	Jesus, look at that one!
	That's like the Hills of Eyes.
	That's like the Goonies.
	I mean, it kind of is.
	You know how people joke when you see a mugshot and you think, well, of course.
	I mean, with this one, of course, frankly.
	What do you mean?
	Like, you know how you look at someone and go, well, of course he's a burglar, or of course he's a, you know, member of this gang.
	And, I mean, eh.
	That sounds racist.
	He said that, not me.
	Well, I'm talking about his eyes.
	What are you talking about?
	Jesus!
	Oh, right.
	Yeah, because his eye's pointing.
	Maybe that's so he can identify two victims at once.
	But anyway.
	And also, a country's more than an economy.
	It's a shared set of values and history.
	So immigration can change the culture of a country, as we've seen in the past.
	Oh, this is something I wanted to say about...
	Because, you know, the traditional argument against immigration is, look, they took our jobs.
	So we've got this, you know, South Park thing.
	I took her job!
	I took her job!
	They took our jobs!
	They took our jobs!
	But now I think the modern issue with immigration or with its cultural influx is they took our noncing.
	We've got homegrown British paedophiles who their victims are being taken by grooming gangs and it's not fair and I'm going to draw a line in the sand and stick up For British...
	You're not buying into this.
	I don't think there's much call for this, frankly.
	Are you going to stand for office on this basis?
	Yes, I will!
	I will!
	Yeah, British...
	Just like, what would the party be?
	No, I don't want to get into that.
	British nonsense first.
	How about that?
	No?
	BNF. It's like the BNP rebranded.
	But yeah.
	Also, as I was saying, we can get cultural changes.
	Just the chat's being like Jimmy Savile's being shortchanged.
	I don't know what to say.
	So traditionally, we've had, you know, freedom of speech in this country.
	And, you know, if you go back to the 70s, you can find examples of, you know, for example, the Christian right, the moral Christian right, trying to get the life of Brian banned because it's blasphemous.
	It didn't work because they never kill anybody.
	But other cultures, the threats are listened to more.
	They're more serious.
	Yeah, yeah.
	If you look at Salman Rushdie, you know, if you look at Charlie Hebdo, you know, it's a bit harsher than what Monty Python went through with The Life of Brian and the Christian Church.
	So, you know, now we've got, in effect, mob rule and censorship in this country, as this video shows.
	I mean...
	So this is a protest outside cinema.
	Protesters picketing screenings of The Lady of Heaven, ensuring it is one of the most talked about films out now.
	I mean, jokes aside, though, for a minute, which is actually, you do make a good point there, which is that, well, what's the moral...
	British nuances...
	Well, no, not that one.
	That wasn't the good point.
	The good point was about the Charlie Hebdo versus, you know, Life of Brian.
	I mean, what's the lesson that is to be learned from the responses to those two, which is that, well, the one in which people end up dead is taken more seriously, and the British press, for example, Sky News specifically...
	Censored the front covers.
	Because, well, violence works.
	That's a lesson to be learned.
	At least people who run our countries want us to learn from that.
	Which is a horrible way to organize the country.
	Exactly, and also our institutions are systemically woke, so they bend over backwards to accommodate and make excuses for cultures that enforce ideology, because they say, well, this is good because it's non-white, it's non-Christian, it's non-British.
	They must do nothing wrong.
	Yeah, so they're good, they're elevated in society.
	We're changing.
	It's changing our culture.
	It's having a measurable impact on our culture and our nonces.
	And it gets trickier because the substantial benefits of mass immigration are mainly enjoyed by the rich who get cheaper house extensions from cheaper builders.
	You get cheaper nannies, cheaper prostitutes.
	And the downsides fall on the working classes who see competition for jobs and housing and...
	Prostitutions.
	And their prosecution, yeah.
	And they're expected to do all the integration and even move off land they've lived on for centuries to make way for new arrivals.
	If an Amazonian tribe was being pushed off its land by settlers, leftists would be falling over themselves to declare UNESCO World Heritage status for this tribe and its land and protect the fragile, authentic culture.
	But Cockneys are expected to clear off to Essex.
	To make a way for new arrivals.
	And nobody calls for the preservation of indigenous culture in the Dagenham River Basin.
	I mean, that's a good point.
	I think the Dagenham Reservation should probably get the UN status that is not to be touched.
	Pie and mash should be preserved by UNESCO. Yes.
	Yeah.
	And also, Rwanda is specifically about illegal immigration.
	So there's a lot of illegal immigration to the UK. So this particular document was by the London School of Economics.
	And I think...
	Yeah, so the London School of Economics.
	And on page 8, table 1...
	We can see London School of Economics estimates...
	So the lower estimate of the range is 417 illegal immigrants in the UK. The upper estimate is 417,000 illegal immigrants in the UK. The upper range of the estimate is 863,000 illegal immigrants in the UK. And that's a lot.
	That's a big chunk of the population.
	Yeah.
	And for Americans who might think that's a bit small, we don't have a southern border.
	We have a sea surrounding us.
	We have a moat.
	And it's growing by an extra 85,000 people every year.
	And in 2021, 23,000 illegal immigrants came across the channel.
	So it's growing and coming across the channel as a means of getting in.
	It's growing year on year and it's dangerous.
	So, 2018, there was just one drowning death from coming across the channel.
	Last year, there were 37 deaths by drowning.
	So, that's awful.
	And this is tragic.
	Most of these people are just regular guys trying to make, because it is men.
	I don't know why the women and children don't come as well, but it's overwhelmingly men.
	And they're just trying to make a better life for themselves.
	You know, they're coming from somewhere that's, you know, a failed state.
	There's conflict or war, like Syria or Sudan.
	Paris or Macron's.
	Yeah, I mean, they're coming.
	The thing is, they're coming from France.
	I mean, it's unbelievable, frankly, what they have to live through.
	They could have, you know, the argument that they're asylum seekers is kind of risible because they've had to pass through several safe countries where they could have claimed asylum to get to the English Channel to, you know, come across to Britain.
	Although, I mean, you could argue that in France they're fleeing poor service.
	There's a lot of snooty waiters.
	There's dog poo on the pavements.
	There's terrible rock music.
	You ever heard a decent French rock band?
	Compared to, like, the Rolling Stones.
	That's not the question you'll ask me.
	I can see why they don't want to stay.
	I love the idea that they might just be fleeing the fact that a lot of their cousins seem to be making France a place that's unlivable as well, as Eric Zemmour has been pointing out.
	I think they contribute greatly to the culture.
	Which is why they're fleeing it.
	But yeah, and the asylum system is being gamed, and they cross many safe countries.
	Here's a picture of one of the small boats coming across.
	And it's all guys.
	It's all guys.
	I mean, I don't know why.
	If they're fleeing, you know, a war-torn country...
	I mean, doctor, engineer, lawyer, doctor, lawyer.
	Why are they leaving the women and the children to fight in the war?
	It seems, you know, with Ukraine, the asylum seekers that come are mainly women and children because, you know, they're fleeing the conflict.
	The men stay and fight.
	Anyway, I'm not passing judgment.
	I wouldn't want to fight.
	Have you also seen, what is it, like two million Ukrainians have now returned to Ukraine from Europe?
	Right.
	Funny that, isn't it?
	Turns out people can actually return to even a war zone that's still going on.
	So the asylum system is being gamed by people and it's helped by lawyers who know how to exploit the system to help people stay and also get a lot of legal aid.
	So, yeah, I mean...
	But the main thing is the safety of these men, and they need to go through correct avenues.
	They can't be skipping the queue.
	Because if too many illegal immigrants get in, it'll sour public mood against all immigrants.
	And that's not fair on people who pursue appropriate and proper channels.
	I mean, all the doctors and lawyers are going to be without a job if these chaps get in.
	Yeah, I mean, you can say that.
	But anyway, so we've found a system to dissuade them from coming.
	We've said we're going to send some of you to Rwanda.
	And it's a good idea.
	We only send the economic migrants.
	We don't send genuine asylum seekers to Rwanda.
	And Rwanda is a safe, stable, thriving country with a booming economy.
	And also, to still make sure we're being humanitarian, we're going to take vulnerable refugees from Rwanda and bring them to the UK. But regardless of that, the celebrities have still responded saying it's terrible.
	More than 90 public figures wrote to the airline suspected to be carrying refugees, urging them not to fly the 100 or more people whom the Home Office has targeted for removal.
	Apart from anything else, it's going to be upset until a lot of people seeing a flight actually take off.
	But yeah, so the author and rapper Akela, Gary Lineker, Bridgerton actress Adjoa Andoa and artist Tracey Emin are among the list of celebrities.
	So Prince Charles says, you know, the monarchy are supposed to be apolitical.
	They're supposed to not make political statements because they haven't been elected.
	They're just there because they've been born there.
	You could say that about the people who've been born in the UK, but I'll get to that in a moment.
	So he's from...
	Prince Charles is from a new political party called the Royal Family.
	And he says the practice is appalling.
	But I went to Clarence House.
	You'd think...
	If he thinks we should have open borders, he'll have open borders at his house.
	No!
	I went to Clarence House where Prince Charles lives.
	It's one of his six residences.
	And he's got guys with machine guns stopping me getting in.
	I want to illegally go into his house, which I thought he'd be fine with, and they won't let me.
	And...
	I mean, isn't that a shame?
	Isn't that a shame?
	Prince Charles believes in open borders, but then around his own house, he's got a big border with guards!
	And they'll throw me out if I go in.
	Not only does he have arms, he has armed guards defending him.
	The nearest hotel housing these refugees, in quotes, how far do you reckon it is from this house?
	Oh, I should imagine it's miles.
	We have one over there.
	My house is a five minute walk from it.
	I'm not allowed to own a gun.
	Whereas he's allowed armed guards outside his house.
	Yeah.
	For his protection.
	Fantastic.
	And, yeah, so they're really nice guys, but they wouldn't let me in.
	And also, if you want to see the fence, there's a picture of the fence.
	Look, this is the fence!
	This is the border around Prince Charles' house!
	So much for open borders.
	Man, try climbing over that.
	I did.
	I didn't get anywhere.
	It was spiky.
	It jabbed me in the hand.
	I got bit by a swan.
	But he's not the only person who's got stuck in.
	The Archbishop of Canterbury, who's head of a new political party called the Church of England, has taken time out from covering up pedo scandals to criticise the Rwanda plan.
	He says it's against the judgement of God.
	Well, the judgement of God, like...
	God drowned 37 men crossing the Channel.
	So, you know, maybe we shouldn't trust in God.
	Maybe we should trust in the government to help keep these men safe and stop these gangs taking people across the Channel.
	By the way, I'm not making it up about it.
	I know people think it's just the Catholic Church that is pedo scandals.
	The next tab, we'll go into this.
	So Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, he aided and abetted...
	A paedophile in the church, this canon John Roberts, who'd abused people in his care.
	This is in Liverpool, and this is before he was Archbishop of Canterbury, and lawyers said he should now face disciplinary action, but I don't think he ever did face disciplinary action.
	But that's the person lecturing us on morality of trying to save people's lives and stop criminal gangs.
	Obviously we've got the regular people involved.
	So we've got Femi.
	So he said, So I don't think he'd say that to Palestinians.
	Number one, no.
	You have to have blood rights to get UK citizenship.
	This isn't the United States.
	You can't just be born on UK soil and then that's it.
	But also the idea that if you risk more to get into a country, you're entitled to everything that country has.
	I mean, if we break into the United States tomorrow on false passports, are we just entitled to everything the United States government has to offer?
	And also, if I broke into Femi's house, I would have risked more to get into that house than he does.
	He's got keys.
	So, I mean, does that mean I've got more of a right to stay in his house than he does?
	I don't know.
	It's just...
	His logic.
	Go for it.
	It's a bizarre...
	But it shows what people on the left think of the UK and British citizens.
	So I don't think that's going to help Labour get elected.
	Emma Thompson got involved.
	She said, the Rwanda scheme is eye-wateringly mad and callous.
	She's an Italian citizen, so she lives in Venice.
	She thinks we should have opened borders.
	They're not your borders!
	You're an Italian citizen!
	I'm happy for wealthy Italian citizen Emma Thompson to have an opinion on British immigration policy if she puts her daughter into a care home in Rotherham.
	But she won't.
	As a wealthy leftist, she'll be completely insulated from any of the negative impacts.
	Can you imagine making that government policy?
	Oh, man.
	Elect me as Prime Minister.
	I will make policies like that.
	All my policies will just be made out of trying to make someone laugh.
	And have some sort of spiteful revenge and a hypocrite.
	Gary Lineker.
	Obviously, Gary Lineker got involved.
	He saw something to virtue signal about.
	So he took time...
	Out from selling crisps to children to stick up for these poor men fleeing terrible conditions in France.
	So he said, We're literally...
	We're taking vulnerable Rwandans.
	We're sending the economic migrants to Rwanda so they can have a life in a safe, prosperous country there.
	And we're taking vulnerable refugees from Rwanda who need our help, who need medical care.
	We're taking them back to the UK to give them...
	We're like Madonna.
	We're literally giving people from Africa a better life.
	And also it's going to prevent deaths of people crossing the channel because it'll put them off.
	It'll stop them jumping the queue.
	It'll stop them paying thousands and thousands of pounds each to criminal gangs to get them across.
	And also, what have the left got against Rwanda?
	It is a fantastic country.
	I watched a video in Rwanda.
	I want to move to Rwanda.
	If I was coming across the chat, I wouldn't.
	Have they seen Middlesbrough?
	These people coming across, have they seen Swindon?
	Have they seen the weather in Rwanda?
	Don't trust.
	If you base your idea of what Britain is like on Hugh Grant films, you are not seeing the true Britain.
	You need to have a look and see what an absolute raft of bog monsters this country in the main is.
	And yeah, being pro-open borders is the ultimate, ultimate virtue signal.
	So you get the benefit of the signal, but any negative impact of higher immigration is dispersed across everyone and focused in poorer communities that you're not a member of because you're a celebrity.
	And you know that other people, you can say whatever you like about immigration.
	You say we should have open borders.
	You know other people will probably make the tough, unpleasant, but necessary choices.
	So then you can call them racist.
	And then if immigration rises and creates social disharmony, you can condemn anybody who complains about that as racist.
	You get to call people racist, which is the favorite thing for wokeists to do.
	But the only way you can have those luxury opinions is if everyone else makes the sacrifice and you don't.
	Yeah.
	I mean, how many migrants are living in Gary Lineker's loft?
	Exactly, yeah.
	Well, he did take in somebody for two weeks, I think.
	But, you know, if you're Emma Thompson living in Venice, then, you know, come on, you shouldn't get an opinion on that.
	And, you know, if you're a leftist...
	I don't even think Gary Lineker should.
	I'm sorry, you want endless numbers of people to come here, but I did house a migrant for two weeks.
	Yeah, I mean, at least he's done something.
	I'd like Prince Charles to...
	Prince Charles has got six palaces, six properties.
	Like, come on.
	Like, you could live in one and give the rest to, you know, refugees and, you know, reduce the burden on the taxpayer a little bit.
	There might not be any palace left afterwards, but...
	Honestly, genuinely, I think a lot of these people make amazing citizens and want to come here and work and create a life for themselves.
	It's tragic that we can't take everybody in.
	But we just can't take everybody in.
	We're a small country.
	There's like, what, 65 million people here?
	We can't take it.
	We're taking in a million a year as it is.
	That's a lot.
	That's a lot of social upheaval and stuff.
	We're already seeing the negative impacts.
	Grooming gangs.
	Terrorism.
	Suppressed wages.
	There's a limit to what we can do.
	So as much as I'd love to say, yeah, everybody, whoever wants to come here, you know, come in.
	And I'd love to go and live in America or Australia.
	I can't just waltz in there.
	I've got to follow official channels.
	So, yeah, sorry.
	You know, it's one of those things.
	I'd like everybody to come to my party.
	But we've only got so much fizzy pop.
	Except at Dankula's Roast, where you can cut!
	Oh yeah, even that is Ticket.
	You've got to follow official channels to get in.
	I was going to try and plug in that, it doesn't really work.
	Anyway, I suppose we shall move on.
	Oh yeah, overran a little bit.
	Don't worry.
	We'll go to the fact-checkers getting fact-checked.
	So, the fact-checkers are deciding to, well, screw themselves over, which is, they've all been publishing fake news, it turns out, endlessly.
	And I've got calls.
	So I thought we'd enjoy, well, pointing and laughing at them, if nothing else.
	So we'll start off just by saying that we have job opportunities here, so if you go to the careers page on lotushears.com, you should be able to find it right at the bottom.
	You'll be able to find that we have video content presenters and a job for a video editor as well.
	So if you'd like to come and work, go and give those a read, and if you can fit the criteria, do apply.
	How much money?
	That's negotiable, of course.
	What do you mean?
	What would you offer?
	I don't know.
	Carl runs the business.
	Carl, how much money?
	Anyway, let's get into the content instead.
	So you get the next one here.
	We can see this is the big news that I saw, which is USA Today removes 23 articles after reporter fabricated sources.
	She just made up stuff.
	23 articles.
	And this is a big deal for a journalist.
	Like Boris Johnson got fired from the Telegraph, was it?
	For making up a quote, I believe.
	I think that's correct.
	So this is, yeah, this is a big deal.
	I mean, you would have thought.
	And it gets worse because, of course, USA Today are fact checkers.
	On Facebook.
	And ban people for lying.
	Whereas themselves, no problems.
	Don't worry about it.
	Oh my god, absolute clown world.
	The journalist, who is said to have fabricated the sources, was identified as Gabriela Miranda.
	According to her bio on the website, Miranda was assigned to cover trending news nationwide while at USA Today.
	The Post has reached out to USA Today, its parent company, Granite, as well as Miranda, seeking comment, Miranda has deleted her LinkedIn account in response.
	Of course, because she's a very innocent woman, which is why also USA Today fired her for just making up news, apparently, all day.
	If we go to the next one here, we have a big example of one of the fake news stories.
	So, yes, I love this.
	Just write the news you wish to see in the world.
	Quote from her.
	Oh my god!
	She did.
	This is my land, I stay.
	These Ukrainian women are among thousands choosing to fight, not flee.
	This is all made up.
	It's just a made up story.
	This is a real thing as well.
	You can see the individual saying this is satire.
	This story isn't.
	This is a real headline.
	Because if you go to the next one, kudos to them for this.
	USA Today did actually just put out an article listing all the fake headlines.
	Being like, yeah, all of these are just made up.
	We hired one of these made up news.
	And we didn't check.
	We didn't fact check ourselves.
	I wonder how much this happens in the media.
	I mean, you think about it, because who's going to fact check the fact checkers?
	And apparently no one, until someone called up and said, yeah, that's just not true.
	And then they did an investigation and found that actually all of her work was just untrue.
	Just making stuff up, presumably.
	So we have in here another headline being, Russian troops halt attack of nuclear power plant, but remain in control.
	How dangerous could this be?
	Which she just made up all the sources in that article, apparently.
	Wonderful, wonderful work.
	Do you feel good about getting banned from Facebook for three days or seven days or forever?
	I was banned for a month once, but I hardly use Facebook now because I get banned.
	Well, this is why.
	Because people who lie for a profession, I mean, provably, are too busy saying that, well, what you've said is wrong, Leo, so you need to go.
	Not them, though.
	Campus Ministry at Virginia Tech had its pride flag stolen and replaced with the Confederate flag.
	Fake news.
	It's not true.
	It's made up.
	It seems.
	I mean, that's like a...
	I can understand somebody, like, faking quotes, because that'd be very hard to, you know, a Ukrainian woman says this.
	Kind of hard to check.
	You can't, like, check every Ukrainian woman.
	But a pride flag stolen from Virginia Tech and replaced with a Confederate flag, that'd be an easy thing to verify.
	Good thought.
	Apparently it's just made up stuff.
	I mean, I love the idea.
	What's the conversation in the office?
	It's like, you know, I've made this article about the Ukrainian woman.
	Oh, that's wonderful.
	Can I interview them for a second?
	No.
	What's their names?
	Can I look them up and find out?
	Because, I mean, this is great.
	I've got a story in Ukraine as well.
	We could work together.
	Ouch.
	They're busy fighting, you know, as they are.
	Mr.
	Ivana, suck me off.
	I don't know.
	She's very busy.
	She also published an article, Anti-vaxxer pushes urine therapy as COVID antidote without scientific evidence.
	That article was also without evidence because it was just made up.
	I think I read that article.
	There you have it.
	Just not true.
	They're all deleted now as well.
	My world is crumbling down around me.
	Everything you read from USA Today apparently just made up whilst they stare at the ceiling.
	This is like when I found out from that Amber Heard interview that Johnny Depp didn't actually have real scissors for fingers.
	Did he not?
	No.
	I'm shocked.
	He was acting.
	He was pretending he was a person in a film.
	I still don't know what the hell is wrong with her.
	Like, why does she still have a public profile?
	I mean, you would have thought she would delete everything and just disappear if you were her.
	No, she's now an activist.
	She's got a lucrative career ahead for women.
	Abusing women.
	Sorry, abusing men.
	Yeah, like for women.
	A lot of women agree.
	A lot of men.
	Women's right to beat.
	A lot of simps.
	A lot of men agree with her and think she was right and she was cheated and robbed.
	But there we have it.
	There's all the headlines.
	You can go check it yourself.
	A lot of them are very boring, just like, oh, here's five things you didn't know about such and such or some other such crap.
	But the interesting ones there being obviously politically motivated that she then just made up, presumably.
	If we go to the next one, we can also see the Facebook link here.
	I got this on, which is Facebook celebrating the fact that they were hiring USA Today.
	Honest and factual people as they are.
	We recently welcomed the agency French press and Reuters to our US program.
	And today we're announcing USA Today as our latest, newest fact-checking partner.
	Providing the nation with factual information is core to what our journalists do every day at Granite and USA Today.
	Therefore, it wasn't a question of if we would join Facebook fact-checking program, but when, says one of the people from Granite who own USA Today.
	Gannet.
	Gannet?
	Is it Gannet?
	Oh, there you are.
	Yeah.
	But if we go to the next link here, you can also see the fact that the fact checks they have done over the years are also just not true.
	I don't know why people didn't notice this sooner in the fact that all their news seems to be fake.
	You can see here from USA Today saying, the claim, several Democratic politicians are urging social distancing and issuing stay-at-home advisories while hosting or attending gatherings themselves.
	Are rating missing context?
	What missing context?
	Yeah, what is the...
	Like, this happened in living memory.
	And this is the thing, you can say missing context about anything.
	Absolutely anything.
	It's kind of meaningless.
	I mean, what context would make that okay?
	Like, man murders his mother.
	Yeah, but you forgot to say that he celebrated a birthday last year.
	So, missing the context, really.
	It's just a ridiculous statement.
	But this was obviously defensive action for democratic politicians who had...
	Well, violated their own laws.
	If you go to the next one here, this is the article itself, which is one of the few that is still up, even though this is just obviously fake as well.
	But, you know, it's not from her, so they haven't deleted it yet.
	And if we get to the next one here, this is something I want to tie it in with, which is there was a report done on news, just how interested people are in news in general, which is an interesting question.
	If you scroll down on here, eventually there's a graph that shows you interest.
	And in 2015, in the UK, they say that 70% of the public were interested in what the news had to say.
	Right.
	So 70% of the public were like, yeah, okay, watch the news.
	And in 2022, 43% of the public.
	Whoa.
	There's a huge drop.
	I mean, I don't believe that's the right graph, but those are the statistics correctly, which is the fact that also the biggest drop-off is between 2019 and 2020.
	Right.
	Which...
	Yeah, makes sense.
	I mean, COVID, BLM, people are going to hell with this.
	These people can't be trusted to even just get the basic facts right.
	Mostly peaceful protests.
	And we covered a story on GB News about people are avoiding the news.
	So left-wing people, the amount of people avoiding the news has doubled.
	Because, well, for two different reasons.
	So left-wing people avoid the news because they think it'll cause conflict and they'll get into arguments because they're all pussies.
	And right-wing people avoid the news because they think it's fake.
	And they're right!
	I mean, just demonstrably.
	I mean, I will never get over mostly peaceful protests.
	Yeah, yeah, stuff like that.
	Fires in the background.
	The agenda is so obvious.
	And even with the storming of the Capitol building, people were acting like this was Pearl Harbor.
	It was the second Holocaust.
	It was like grannies waving flags and stuff.
	I did a little compilation at the time.
	I went and got back all the audio clips from Mostly Peaceful Protest.
	It's peaceful, every peaceful.
	It took all those and put them over the footage of going into the Capitol.
	And it was just like, could you imagine the media describing it that way?
	No, of course not.
	They would never try to give them any kind of lenience.
	If you scroll up a little bit here, you can see this is a common pattern throughout the entire world.
	You've got the UK, US, and then you have Spain, Brazil, Argentina.
	There's just some large story from the University of Oxford looking at this, and it seems to be a constant theme throughout the world, which is everyone's sick of the news, specifically the smear merchants, let's be honest.
	And this is why, if you go to the next link here, this is something I mentioned yesterday, I don't know if you know about this website, This is my 90s STV. And as you can see here, you can just watch TV from like the olden times, you know, before the internet.
	It didn't work out what that ticking noise was.
	It's John just putting it on, which is, I don't know if we're going to watch much because, you know, much of the channels are just adverts or like your local software team in the news there.
	But if you go and do this in your own time, just go and find out the website and then check out the news and say, like, even 2001 and look at the 9-11 coverage.
	And it's just factual.
	Like, 2003, it's fine.
	2009, it's fine.
	There are still some news sources that are relatively unbiased.
	Like, The Economist is very good.
	I don't read them often enough to say.
	Right.
	I've subscribed to The Economist because I'm really brainy.
	I just find the disparity weird to go and look back, and you should afterwards as well, just for no other reason than to go and see back the olden times, back when the news would literally tell you the news, and that was it.
	I mean, I never understood that phrase until I went back and looked at this, and it's totally true.
	And now it's become this emotional journey.
	They've tried to make it into, you know, because people get more engaged in stuff that engages them emotionally, and watch it for longer.
	But also there's the open lies from the organizations.
	I mean, I was reading Douglas Murray's new book, and there's a great example in there, in which you think back to how the media would describe, say, Donald Trump's speech outside of the Mount Rushmore monument.
	You may remember that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	When it was all the statues were being torn down.
	And Donald Trump gave a pretty normal speech about American values.
	Yeah.
	You think, president giving speech outside Mount Rushmore.
	Yeah.
	No.
	MSNBC went with, Trump gives speech in front of two slave owners.
	I mean, there's just no attempt to even tell you what happened.
	Two Libyan lads who have got slaves behind them, presumably, and Trump's outside giving a speech about how he's going to stop it.
	I don't know.
	Right, right.
	I mean, it's just not information.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I mean, it's anti-information, if anything.
	Yeah.
	That was the example.
	It's in Douglas' new book, The War on the West.
	Go and check it out if you want to.
	But otherwise, there's also just the obvious point with the media.
	And the best example of this is a clip I found, but I couldn't find it, so I've just found the headlines instead, which is about what is allowed to be said and what is not allowed to be said, of course.
	And if you load up this one here, this is just a series of headlines that I've put together just to make this point as quickly as possible, which is, as you can see, we've got to take those mother effers out.
	Rutgers professor calls white people villains.
	Fantastic.
	You know, okay, one professor.
	I should imagine a lot of white people are making the processed food that's keeping her at 32 stone.
	I mean, you think.
	They're probably growing it as well as producing it and everything else, but she's a professor.
	What does she care?
	She's a professor?
	Yes.
	That's the point.
	I mean, this is someone at the height of civilization, apparently.
	One of our temples of knowledge.
	No.
	No, of course not.
	There is no knowledge to be found here.
	She said that white people are historically committed to being villains, and her unfiltered solution to addressing the white supremacy would be to take them out.
	Fantastic.
	Wonderful lady.
	Ah, one example.
	Crazy lady.
	If you go to the next one, of course, we have a professor behind a white genocide tweet has university support.
	For the genocide, presumably.
	I don't know if they're giving him guns.
	It says here, a Drexel University professor who tweeted that he wanted white genocide for Christmas has the support of the university.
	Fantastic.
	Good that he's got that support.
	Otherwise, what else are we going on?
	Here, the next one, we have a Berkeley professor who says he wants to abolish whiteness, is to abolish white people.
	More genocidal rhetoric from our temples of intelligence there.
	That's not very nice.
	The kind of place you send your kids.
	What have I done to him?
	But again, this is all fine.
	They get support from the universities.
	The media are like, oh, come on, he's talking academic literature.
	So overt racism and calls for genocide are fine with our educational establishments.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I've said before, I don't know if I've told you, there's actually a Google plugin you can get that replaces white with Jewish and whiteness with, what is it, Jewry.
	And then when you redo the headlines, it's like reading Nazi Germany's Daily Stormer.
	It's just like, Jewry rules the world.
	Why must we rid the world of Jewry?
	I mean, redo that one.
	That'll get clipped out and used against you.
	But that's the thing.
	That's what the leftists literally say, except they replaced the J word with the white word instead.
	There we go.
	Can't be clipped now.
	Which is, I mean, read that in your own time, just replace the words.
	And yeah, yeah, that's neo-Nazi rhetoric, for sure.
	Although it's also leftist rhetoric, because they tend to be very anti-Semitic.
	Same thing.
	You go to the next one.
	We also have, again, another one.
	Just a college professor says white people should commit suicide to rid the world of racism.
	As an ethical act.
	Yeah.
	This is a chap telling you that kill yourself.
	This is a professor.
	All of them professors.
	And they're the good guys.
	In these temples of knowledge.
	And they're professors.
	Like, who on earth?
	We have the Cambridge academic who came up with the white lives don't matter as white lives tweet.
	She was supported by the university and promoted to become a professor because of that.
	Because she said white lives don't matter, have a promotion.
	I mean, you must remember this.
	I mean, that's the thing.
	Everyone was shocked in the UK at this, but it wasn't new.
	This is endless.
	And they defended the rights of the university, defended the rights of the academic to express lawful opinions.
	But that doesn't sound like a lawful opinion in terms of hate speech.
	British hate speech laws are tough.
	And she put it online as well, which means it's a violation of Section 127 of the Communications Act.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Police did nothing.
	Right.
	Because they don't want to enforce the law.
	Like they did nothing when there were those protests outside the cinemas.
	They're just not interested in enforcing the law when it goes a certain way.
	Because they're not police.
	They're political activists, frankly.
	For political actors.
	If you go to the next one here, again, just another one.
	Racist Iowa State University professor says she tries to limit the interactions with white people as much as possible.
	Well, of course you do.
	I mean, what else would you do?
	And that's the thing.
	This goes on forever.
	I mean, you can Google in your own time.
	I'd love to try and find and get that clip if someone has it of just a guy reading these headlines.
	It goes on for like two minutes of him just reading headlines of Professor wants to kill all white people.
	Professor has university support after saying all white people should be killed.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	There you have it.
	I mean, that's the world of the media of just, well, this is a nice chap who's dealt with a nice honorable opinion, whereas reverse it.
	Put it in any other language, that's an Instaban.
	I mean, that is nothing but an Instaban and a prison sentence if you live in the UK. And there we have it.
	That's the fact-checkers getting caught and getting fact-checked themselves, which is, well, literal fake news smear merchants are the ones banning you from Facebook.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	A lot more Douglas Murray, and I think it is true that we just need to start saying there are political women, political blacks, political whites, something we didn't used to do.
	It's ring-a-ding-ding!
	I can promise you that, isn't it?
	Oh, we'll all be dancing together.
	Lovely.
	Be so romantic.
	Now, wait a minute.
	If I can just interject here.
	There's a slight problem.
	Problem?
	Well, he's a very tall young man, isn't he?
	And all a short young lady.
	So never the 20 you'll meet.
	One of you two is the notorious outlaw Dick Turpin.
	It's him.
	I would say that before.
	That was a good clip.
	Yeah.
	Good point as well.
	You know what I love?
	I love framing.
	It's a way of subtly giving the audience clues into the story, whether you want to hint that somebody might be a villain, or maybe you want to hint that there's a difference in status between two characters by having one of them take up less screen space.
	All I'm saying is, we're all picking up what you're throwing down.
	That actual says!
	Yeah, we had a couple of guys, Welsh Hobbits, who were down the mines, and, you know, Clatcher closed the mines, and they'd come here and do podcasting work to keep afloat.
	Lovely guys, Voice of Wales, I don't know if you're familiar with them, but we had them both here, of course, because, you know, there's two guys, you've got to scream the camera back, but they're on the screen.
	One of them could have sat in the other one's lap.
	I don't think they would have enjoyed that.
	I don't know if you know about them, but they've had a horrible time.
	They used to have a YouTube channel where they would go and just expose corruption, like they built a new asylum place without asking any of the locals, and the Welsh government were engaging in anti-white racism, which they were, verifiably.
	And then the Welsh government lobbied the BBC to do a hit piece on them, and then lobbied YouTube directly, and their channel was deleted.
	Right.
	And they're just gone.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's normal.
	And then, well, they've continued, because they're like, well, screw you, we're not going to stop.
	And then they ended up with a restraining order against each other by the police to keep them separate.
	And they're just like, what?
	So now one of them is their carer.
	So he's going through a tough time.
	One of them cares for the other to get around that, which is kind of mental.
	But that's the level of persecution that goes on in the North Korean state of Wales, apparently.
	I don't know what the hell's happened, but the parliament is just acting as if they're Nicola Sturgeon.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I think North Korea's got a better economy.
	Well, 4 hours per week is indeed bullshit, coding 15 hours is as well, at least if you're a professional.
	Yes, we all do it sometimes, but if you develop software on a professional level it is difficult on texting, because you're not just hacking your way through a problem, but you actually have to properly design the system.
	In this regard it is very similar to writing.
	If you're a professional developer, actually coding 4 hours per day is more realistic.
	All right, lads, it was a single point in a video.
	Take it somewhere else and have the chat.
	They've been arguing about what's a reasonable amount of time for a coder to be coding per week.
	Right.
	I don't know, I'm not a coder, so let's go to the next one.
	Song singing We're changing people's lives!
	Song singing 41 people being thrown out on the street because they couldn't pay the rent.
	My plan for the economy made extraordinary progress.
	Decimate people and commit innumerable war crimes.
	What?
	Well, there you have it.
	A speech from the leader.
	More tomorrow from...
	Ciao, Biden!
	Let's go to the next one.
	Tony D and Little Joan with a thank you to Alex for reviewing Wokistan, a novel.
	It is indeed based partly on Brett Weinstein, Evergreen University, and a bunch of other woke crap that happened on college campuses 2019 and prior.
	So thank you for the review.
	The sequel, Holly Woke, another novel, is about the movie industry going woke and going broke.
	And now that Disney's going to hell, I'm finally selling copies.
	Well, that's good to hear.
	Yeah, that's great.
	I'm a little bit worried about Joan in the corner there.
	Not looking very happy.
	I assume she's passed out, but...
	Give her a check.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So you know how some people say that orcs are the only true winners of 40k?
	There is another.
	Yeah, Lorgar's the one who started Humanity's Worship of the Emperor.
	The Emperor didn't really appreciate this, and actually raised one of Lorgar's holy cities to the ground to make it clear to him, stop worshipping me.
	He didn't really listen.
	Stupid, rebellious teenage faces.
	We still don't know what he looks like nowadays, but apparently he got in a fight with Corvus at some point recently, so it's nice to know they're actually doing something with Primark lore.
	Primark?
	Yeah, one of the Emperor's sons, essentially.
	It's called Primark?
	Yeah.
	Like the place...
	That's where I got his t-shirt.
	It's too quick.
	No.
	Alright.
	But, yeah, similar pronunciation.
	I imagine much of that went over your head, but I'll tell you about the orcs, because you should know.
	Tell me about your little nerd thing.
	So the orcs are a race in 40k and they're the funniest beings because, you know, like humans, we fight and if we lose, it's pretty bad.
	Yeah.
	Might die, that's bad.
	You know, could lose and then your whole civilizations get killed.
	And orcs just like fighting for the sake of fighting.
	Yeah, so if they win, well, it's pretty good.
	Let's go for another fight.
	If they lose, no problem.
	Go back and fight again.
	Right.
	So just, you can't beat them.
	Right.
	Because no matter what happens, they win.
	Right.
	Unless you kill them all.
	No, because they're fine with that.
	So, okay, I died fighting.
	I mean, you just can't beat them.
	That's one of the funniest creatures in the whole world.
	Well, old galaxy there.
	There we are.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So Callan, what I was getting at was that the way how the police acted in Uvalde and any future incidents that happen a lot, they're going to behave in that manner because the police are effectively neutered.
	They're way too fearful of what's going to happen in the media and whatever happens, they're not going to do anything about it.
	Look at y'all guys in the UK. The police are not going to do anything.
	Honestly, that's not a terrible point.
	I mean, given the fact that our police routinely ignore rapes, or the most recent one where they effectively legalized it.
	I don't know if you saw that story.
	No.
	So the police were using, what was it, community orders or whatever it was called, to solve rape cases.
	So a 13-year-old girl comes to them and said she'd been raped and they proved it and they found the rapist.
	It was all true.
	Okay, they've got all the evidence they need.
	Yeah.
	What do you do next?
	Yeah.
	Well, the CPS builds the case, take him to put him on trial and put him in jail.
	A lot of time.
	A lot of money.
	They told the rapist to say sorry, and in multiple cases, this was the end of the case.
	They got the rapist to apologise.
	Which is a confession.
	Yeah.
	And they decided that was a community resolution.
	Well, that's insane.
	It was meant to be used for shoplifting and whatnot, and they used it on rape cases.
	I mean, nonce rape cases.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, armed police in the UK, they're not ineffective.
	Sure, armed police are good at shooting, but our police force is so scared of just doing the right thing.
	Yeah, yeah.
	They'll do stuff like that.
	The idea that the American police, after the summer of love, are so pissed scared that they're not engaging in their jobs anymore.
	Yeah.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, because I guess, I mean, if they went in and, you know, somebody gets a mobile phone video of, you know, or they do something wrong, you know, that's their life over.
	That's them destroyed.
	It's not how it should work, nor should anyone care.
	I mean, frankly, they're killing a shooter, but if they were.
	But there we have it.
	It's an idea.
	Let's go to the next one.
	I really love this Twitter thread I found a couple of days ago when...
	Where communist basement dwellers are discussing how when they get to power they have to sentence Bernie Sanders to death because he's been tainted by capitalism.
	And then they discuss how maybe he should be let off with a struggle session and if he passes he gets to live.
	Bernie Sanders gets re-education.
	Well, he gets the bullet, too, as well.
	Yeah.
	Because he's a filthy capitalist.
	I mean, I do wonder sometimes, though, people who are kind of terminally online.
	I mean, these are them.
	Yeah.
	Comrade Duck, Comrade Luffy, and Comrade Waluigi.
	Yeah.
	With Caprockin at the end, chiming in with who cares, frankly.
	And there you have it.
	They're probably all Twitter moderators.
	That's also probably true.
	They probably work for the company.
	Where are my manners?
	But otherwise, we should go to the written comments on the site.
	So, Baron von Vorhock says, Jesus Christ, man, why did you spend like five minutes talking about Leo's D? That's going to replace the skinwalkers in my nightmares.
	That's what I call my D. It's the skinwalker.
	I did not need to know that.
	I'm not circumcised.
	Arabic pride!
	So Edwards, the rabbit mage, says, It occurs to me how pride is celebrated is entirely counterproductive to trying to improve the lives of homosexual people in the Middle East.
	Instead of presenting it as just a way of being and people living their lives while happening to be gay, we present them with public indecency and degenerate behavior which makes more moderate people agree with the radicals that they want nothing to do with.
	We are making the lives of most people worse through vanity and only vanity.
	Very true point.
	I very much agree with the past.
	I don't know if you've ever met someone who's a genuine homophobe, just doesn't like gay people, and that's where they are.
	You show them pride.
	It doesn't make them happier.
	It doesn't make them more accepting.
	Funnily enough, they double down and think, you know what, maybe the Muslims have got a point.
	But I think, I mean, certainly growing up in South Wales, Scotland, it's quite a homophobic environment.
	So, you know, it's like a sort of social conditioning.
	Yeah.
	I thought you were going to say, like, it's a hobby or something.
	But it's like, yeah, you get sort of every...
	Because everybody's, like, influenceable by the environment and their peers to a certain extent.
	So I can see why, you know, they want to have pride to say, look, people think this is all right now and stuff like that.
	But, you know, I think...
	The trouble is, is that the Q, the Q in LGBTQ... It covers, like, you know, being gay or lesbian, or bisexual, that's sexuality.
	That means, you know, if you're gay, if you're a man, you're attracted to another man.
	If you're a woman, you're attracted to another woman.
	Q just includes everything.
	Like, you want to bone a hedgehog?
	That's in Q. Like, anything, fetishes, everything is in Q. So that's where all the weird stuff and all the, you know, sending people into schools.
	Kink pride.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's what that aspect is.
	I mean, I've seen, I'm sure people have, you see Pride Japan or Pride, as we saw even with Israel there, being far more tame than what happens certainly in Los Angeles.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you would think it would be guys in regular clothes, you know, the husbands and wives or whatever, and maybe they've got some kids because, you know, a lot of gay people have kids now.
	And that's it.
	It wouldn't be people with the knob out.
	Every opportunity.
	So Free Will 2112 says, Why do our authorities not support diversity in our embassies, too, if it is a virtuous thing to do, and they believe in it so much?
	They tried it for all of five minutes, and then I got called in, and quickly were told never to do that again, and agreed.
	General Hai Ping, Chinese Internet Battalion, says, Guys, S, hide the rainbow-coloured stuff?
	The gay inspectors are coming!
	Intense mic noises!
	There we have it.
	And also, hats off to the Saudi authorities for saving us from the big gay, which we've all been infected with through the screen.
	So Omar Awad says that babies are ad space for parents who can't shut up and keep it to themselves.
	Never a true word was spoken.
	Certainly with that one.
	I mean, I don't know in what other context you could put a highly politicised symbol on your kid and it would be normal.
	Yeah.
	I mean, do you...
	Do you put swastikas on children and people think that's fine?
	People think, well, you know, he's expressing his opinions.
	I'm trying to think of, like, people...
	Kid believes in the Aryan race.
	I guess people put flags, would you put Celtic, would people put football fans like Manchester United?
	Yeah, it's not highly political.
	That kid doesn't decide.
	That kid doesn't know if it supports Manchester yet.
	Could be a Liverpool support.
	Yeah, I mean, he could be scum, I don't know.
	He could prefer lacrosse.
	I know nothing about football, so don't take that out.
	I don't have a team, so...
	Although I do enjoy the chants.
	No, we won't do another one.
	My brother's been teaching me basically all the band chants.
	Right.
	And they're funny as hell.
	I don't know if Dankil is into sport, but we'll save that maybe for the roast.
	So Longshanks1690 says, as Blair White has pointed out, you'll find gay and trans people who are anarchists, libertarians, and conservatives.
	Only communists are non-binary.
	Jimbo G says, isn't it weird how mad the Arabic world is about the gays?
	And also, in some places, young boy rape is part of life.
	It's a funny old game.
	Bacha Bazi.
	Yeah.
	I mean...
	So you've got that in, like, Pakistan, Afghanistan, bits of Iran, you know, some other places as well, but not as extreme as it is over there as part of the culture, and yet being gay is illegal.
	The weirdest one, though, I've heard of is in Egypt, which is that if you want to ruin a man, not a boy, but, like, a man, I mean, you'd think in the UK, you go around, you bash them up, or, you know, right?
	No, apparently in Egypt, you take their soul Which means that you pin him down and you rape him with your, yeah, grown man.
	And therefore, he's the one who's been done, have I? And you, you come off as honourable and decent and, you know, a stronger person because of it.
	What?
	It's like, no, you don't.
	Why?
	It's not making you look...
	That's a strange...
	It's like, yeah, I'm well done.
	I, you know, do that.
	It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That doesn't make you look hard.
	I mean, hard in another respect, but not in that one.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Sure.
	Speaking of it, you ever seen the show, what is it, A Britain's Hardest Man?
	No.
	So it was a TV show by, what was it, the guy who played Phil on EastEnders.
	Oh yeah, Phil Mitchell, and they had weird contests, where there's one where they had to smash down doors.
	The whole thing was like a domestic violence trainer.
	They had to smash down these sort of platforms, and they had to get through these.
	They've got all these doors set in frames, and steel frames or whatever, and they have to bash through them.
	So mad.
	Charlie Brooker made the great point that once you replace the word hard with erect, I mean, it's a whole different show, frankly.
	I mean, there's one clip where you've got two guys in a boxing ring and the trainer, he comes in and he goes, there's only room in this ring for two hard men and I'm one of them.
	And it's just like, what?
	What?
	It comes off as super homosexual.
	So if you're looking for something to laugh at, Britain's Hardest Man, go have a look.
	Otherwise, Rose says I find Jordan Peterson attractive.
	I'm going to have a look and see what Rose looks like.
	Just type in the word Rose so you can get a result.
	Well, I can see her name.
	But I think Jordan Peterson would go for her.
	Okay.
	Well, there you are, Rose.
	You're in.
	Yeah, with Jordan Peterson.
	If you can keep him off the painkillers.
	Celeb Rwanda reactions.
	So Omar Awad comments on this as well.
	He says, as far as I'm concerned, saying Britain is okay with high immigration is like saying a child is okay with sex.
	Even if they think they are, then they are at best misinformed or ignorant of the long-term consequences and far-reaching consequences.
	My bet is another 72% poll confirming what politicians want to be true because I don't want to think about how effective two years of government propaganda can be.
	Yeah, I mean, he's got a point.
	There is...
	It's got more than a point.
	Immigration has long-term impacts on the cultural makeup of the country.
	And it's used as politicians tend to use it.
	It's almost like steroids for the economy.
	So you get this short-term boost where you get cheap labor coming in and doing the work and stuff.
	But then the children of immigrants tend to work hard.
	What do you mean immigrants also get old?
	That's essentially what happens.
	Then their kids are just as entitled and spoiled as the rest of us.
	Except for the other issues that come with that.
	It's the cultural things that are the most important thing.
	Western liberal democracy, I think, is worth preserving.
	We shouldn't have censorship.
	We shouldn't have...
	Terrorism.
	Terrorism is, you know, I don't...
	I was brought up to think it was a bad thing.
	There weren't many on-walk balls in Poland in the last 20 years.
	The Guardian thing is a good thing.
	So Baron von Warhawk says, I remember back in the day when British pedos wanted to molest kids, they had to work for it.
	They had to buy a van or a trench coat or join the church.
	Now all these Middle Eastern pedos have to do is...
	Well, they're not so much from the Middle East.
	Have to do is grab the girls in the street as they know the police and government will let them go as long as they say sorry to the kids...
	Pedos today don't know the struggle.
	That is absolutely true.
	I think pedos should pay their dues.
	They should put some work into it.
	But you've got to have a box of puppies.
	You've got some chocolate.
	None of this just grabbing kids in a gang.
	Nambla are going to set up a union.
	They'll be like, well, if you're not in the union...
	I thought Nambla was a union.
	It's an advocacy group.
	It's probably completely interchangeable with Antifa.
	You know its founder was a member of the Communist Party.
	I'm completely unsurprised to find out that the founder of a pedo institution was a member of the Communist Party.
	I would assume that was a guaranteed.
	I assumed he was a member of the Conservative Party.
	I don't know.
	It just happens to be communist.
	Captain Charlie the Beagle says, I do find it funny hearing a Scot criticise another nation's food.
	Look at what they did to the poor sheep to make haggis.
	Well, yeah, no animals live through the food creation process.
	You've got to kill the sheep.
	You've got to kill the chicken to make the sausage.
	Longshanks1690 says, Yes, Femi, I was born here as part of a continuous culture and civilization.
	The migrants were born to a separate culture and civilization.
	Neither of us has a right to the other simply because we wish it.
	Good point.
	That's a good point, though, because we think of migrants as if they live in the ether, like they come out of a portal and they've not really come from anywhere.
	Yeah, and politicians seem to assume that as soon as somebody comes to Britain, they'll just automatically become imbued with British values of tolerance and being able to form a queue and all these things that we do here and putting the milk in first and all this stuff, and it doesn't necessarily happen.
	What else?
	Taffy Duck says, chart shows people are happy with mass migration.
	The chart lies just like our politicians who said they would stop migration.
	What do you call a politician that promises one thing and does another?
	A traitor.
	Well, no, you just call him a politician.
	That is general.
	I mean, you've got to say some pretty good stuff to get elected, and you can't then deliver on that stuff.
	I think that's a bit unfair to expect that.
	You can't expect the promise and the delivery.
	Surely one's good enough.
	Longshanks is back, says, Leo, when it comes to nonces, I'm a firm racial egalitarian.
	They should all be crucified regardless of where they come from or what religion they have.
	Well, that isn't going to get you far on the Labour Party, having that attitude.
	Maureen Peters says, maintaining the right to a fair trial is important and it's difficult to exclude your emotions when it's about an offence of this gravity.
	But that kind of legal aid is absurd.
	If there's enough undeniable proof, settle it quickly and make sure to make an example out of them.
	And that's true.
	So with a fair trial, the grooming gangs, for example, quite often would spend half a million pounds on the defence of these men who'd Committed horrific crimes.
	They don't even go away for that long.
	Even the worst ones go away, you know, do like five years.
	Seven years.
	So...
	Lord Nerevarar says, Femi always has the lowest grade secondary school takes on matters like this.
	Completely agree.
	You only live here because you happen to have been born here.
	That alone proves that he has no idea what he's talking about and that he isn't really English.
	Okay.
	I mean, he just doesn't know.
	Again, you're born on the English shore, therefore you're allowed English...
	No, you're not.
	You've got to be by blood.
	This isn't the United States.
	Anchor babies aren't a thing.
	Femme was born here, though, wasn't he?
	No, the point being that if you go to the United States and you're pregnant, you give birth on US soil.
	It's an anchor baby.
	You know, they get American citizenship.
	Whereas if you just come...
	No, you've got to have a British parent.
	So if I flew my wife to America and she had the baby in America, could I then apply to live in America?
	I think the baby can try, not you.
	Not me.
	But then it could bring me across as a parent.
	As a carer.
	As a carer, yeah.
	On fact-checkers, Maureen Peters says the problem with the fact-checking isn't that it is handled by people with limited views.
	No one can judge if something is completely true or false.
	Whilst dealing with most information on the news, it is mostly a confused mixture of both and you're either missing knowledge or context, maybe both.
	Yeah, I mean, the whole concept is lunacy.
	The idea that this guy, we've hired him, he's the ultimate truth teller.
	Yeah, ordained by God.
	It's so obviously flawed.
	You know, anybody, and especially when the government has the department of, you know, they were going to set up the Ministry of Truth with Nina Jankovic or whatever, who had been Proven to have lied, you know, glossed over neo-Nazi groups and stuff like this.
	And, you know, you can only divine truth through argument and debate and presenting conflicting evidence and viewpoints and all the rest of it.
	Well, that's factual truth.
	Whereas, you know, politically true is a different matter.
	And that's really what they're arguing for, which is the political line must be kept.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is why, you know, political correctness is not correctness.
	Yeah.
	Because then you wouldn't have to word the word politically, would you?
	Yeah.
	Omar Awad says, you can remove the fake articles, but the damage is done.
	One falsehood will be cited in another article, which is cited in another, and now cetogenesis has made it a fact, even after the original article has been removed or edited.
	To quote Thomas Jefferson, the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, in as so much as he who knows nothing is nearer the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
	Shake Silver says, Source, it came to me in a dream.
	That was her source for quite a lot of this work, apparently.
	Free Will 2112 says, But don't worry, it's kindler, gentler genocide that they're proposing.
	Oh, wonderful.
	Jimbo G says, I mean, if you're a fact-checker, who will fact-check the fact-checkers?
	I don't know.
	Ghost...
	Coastguards.
	Maybe.
	Longshanks, the fact-checkers have been publishing fake news.
	Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
	That's very true.
	And Jonathan Crowe says, Yeah, I mean, it is embarrassing just how far the media has fallen.
	I mean, they've always been scum in my lifetime.
	They've always been a joke.
	And I imagine they have been kind of a joke in the past, but never to this extent.
	And I used to remember when I first joined UKIP and I met a lady there who had been campaigning since the founding of the party and done loads for the old referendum as well.
	And I asked her, like, have the BBC ever been as bad as they are or is it just a new thing?
	Because I couldn't really fathom that they'd ever been good.
	She was like, no, it really is just something now that's not that bad.
	I mean, even with all the other problems they've had on the reporting side, this is a new level of load.
	And there used to be journalistic standards and people really had to stick to them.
	But now there's so little money in journalism.
	You know, journalists, you know, it used to be quite an exalted profession and people would make a decent living at it.
	And now, you know, certainly if you're dealing with something that doesn't draw a huge number of clicks, if you're a showbiz reporter or something, then, you know, a lot of people pay attention to the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial or whatever.
	But if you're a political reporter, you're earning bad money.
	And also just the standards have withered away.
	And also now there's a lot of bias in the organizations.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, you see that in, you know, because I'd consider Twitter a publisher, a media organisation, because they're choosing, you know, what gets boosted, what gets suppressed.
	And if they just said it, if they just said, Twitter's just an outlet, you know, it's run by this guy and it's his opinion.
	Yeah.
	Fair enough.
	I don't understand it, but that's...
	They lie instead.
	Yeah.
	Which is the real damage.
	But otherwise, we're out of time, so if you'd like more from us, lotuses.com, as always.
	Otherwise, where would they find you?
	Yeah, they find me on YouTube.
	Go and subscribe to my YouTube channel now.
	I've got 34,000 subscribers, so I've got more subscribers than I used to.
	What's your YouTube channel name?
	Just call it Leo Kier.
	Alright, there we are.
	Leo Kier's YouTube.
	Go find me on YouTube.
	We'll be back tomorrow at one o'clock.
	Thank you and goodbye.
