	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 8th of July 2022.
	I am joined by Josh.
	Hello there.
	And today we're going to be talking about the fact that resistance will not be tolerated, Boris Johnson's resignation, and BLM's newest hero, the Martyr-in-Chief.
	It's coming up.
	But just to mention first, I suppose we should mention just an announcement first, which is that on 3.30 today, so 3.30 UK time for foreigners, there will be a live book club, as you can see here, between Carl and Thomas here, going through Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil.
	So...
	It's a very famous book by Nietzsche.
	One of his better ones, supposedly, although I've never read it.
	Yeah, so that's going on at 3.30.
	That's premium, of course, so do sign up to go and check that out.
	Otherwise, we should get into the show.
	So, let's start off with the fact that resistance will not be tolerated.
	So I'm kind of annoyed with a story I saw this morning, which is that the British police are continuing their literal tirade of tyranny.
	This case with a GB News commentator and a victim of grooming, who decided to go on GB News and talk about it.
	They still existed.
	And the police went, hello, we're here to chat, because why?
	You went on the news and talked about us.
	It's like, okay, right, free country, my arse.
	But I thought I'd start this off just by mentioning, because I have to, promoting something here, being Douglas Murray's The War on the West book club that we did the other day, which, of course, feeds into this, which is that the war on the West too commonly is waged by our own managers against us.
	But if we go to the first link, we can see the story itself.
	That pissed me off.
	You can see her posting here.
	Two days ago, I went on GB News to discuss child sex crimes and the failings of the Police Council Social Services in Telford.
	Yesterday, the police banged on my door, demanding I speak to them about my interview.
	They tried to make me feel like a criminal for speaking out.
	Great.
	I really hate stuff like this.
	It makes me so depressed.
	It's perfectly normal, though.
	It's like, fantastic.
	That's the British police for you, which, you know, will fail you, allow you to be raped.
	If you go to the police station and say, I've been raped, they'll say, well, come back later.
	And then you'll get in the car with a Pakistani man and get raped even more, as that happened to one case in Oldham.
	It's like the most dark and evil possible thing that we can have.
	These people who are meant to be helping us, protecting us, then enforcing us when we complain about their failures...
	But then, you know, a victim herself then grows up, becomes a commentator, goes out and speaks on it with GB News for an evening.
	And, uh, yeah, please come round, have a chat.
	So she says, despite having my phone number plus email address on file, they went to all my old addresses and tried to ambush me in person.
	Because, of course, I had to be in person.
	Their attitude was intimidatory, and I was made to feel like I was under investigation, when they should be focusing on the criminals, praying on young girls in Talford.
	Which, uh...
	Yeah, maybe they should be, but they're not.
	That's not their concern.
	So, don't worry about that.
	However, she posts the original interview that she did.
	Here's the clip.
	And we're going to play it in four.
	It's a bit long.
	Just for you to get a sense of how little of a need there was for this random visit that just had to happen.
	Let's play.
	Telford is largely ignored by the national media because it isn't newsworthy and the girls that fall victim, like myself, to grooming, to CSA or to CSE are seen as...
	Just explain, because we're all familiar, these reports get released twice a week now, but just explain for people who don't follow them what CSE and CSA stand for.
	Well, CSA is child sexual abuse that encompasses most child sex crimes, so whether it's rape in the family, whether it's sexual assault, whether it's grooming, whether it's CSE, that's the sort of umbrella term.
	CSE is group-based raping, exploiting and grooming of children, and let's be clear here, the victims of these crimes aren't young women, aren't prostitutes, aren't madams, they are children, and the perpetrators are adult men.
	And in Telford, CSE has been rife and continues to be rife in any estate up and down my area.
	You can go to Sutton Hill or to Woodside or to Brookside and see it in action.
	People act as though it's...
	And when these reports are released, it's the same lines that are paraded out that, oh, these are crimes of the past.
	Lessons have been learned.
	No.
	Girls on the ground, like myself, know far too well that these aren't crimes of the past.
	CSE, CSA, grooming, they're not things that have gone away.
	They continue to affect predominantly white working-class girls in towns and cities like Telford.
	But there you have it.
	She was a victim herself, right?
	Yes.
	So credit to her for actually going on to national television and talking about it.
	I mean, that's an incredibly brave thing to do.
	Yeah, she's been a writer for The Spectator and whatnot as well for a while, so she's been doing this as well as going through all that.
	But it's just the fact that that clip there, the reason I played it all, and you might think, well, what was in there that was worth a police visit?
	And that's my point.
	There wasn't anything.
	I mean, she literally just said...
	Did you know this is still going on?
	Yeah, it is.
	And then she names local areas in Telford where it's still going on.
	And the local police are still not dealing with it, at least in regards to the evidence on the ground, according to the witnesses on the ground.
	And yeah, that was it.
	That was what the necessary reason for her being visited by the police was.
	Saying that they're still failing to do their job.
	I don't know how an environment in the police can evolve where they go to the victims of grooming and child sexual exploitation who are talking about the problems and they're the ones in the wrong.
	How can these people live with themselves?
	it's really disgusting.
	Very weird.
	But if we go to the next link here, you can see there's a GB News article listing this as well, because, of course, you know, big interview for them.
	They're excited, so they put up an article as well, quoting about the whole thing.
	And they mention in here, in 2013, the police launched Operation Chalice, which identified 200 men suspected of raping young Telford girls.
	Victims of child abuse in Telford have struggled to get justice, with victims, Miss Smith, stating how police officers probed her on whether or not she asked for consent, which isn't possible.
	Because if you're a child, you can't consent.
	It's the policeman.
	I know this is difficult.
	I know apparently the police all have to be university educated now, so they're all industrially retarded.
	But in this regard, no.
	It would have been obvious to you that a child can't consent if you had an iota of sense.
	A report into child sexual exploitation in Telford is set to be published later this month, with Miss Smith explaining victims of these crimes are children, the predators are adult men.
	Yeah, of course it is.
	But the important point of that line being that there's a report coming out later this month, apparently, in regards to exactly this.
	So that's why.
	Okay, so she went on national TV to say this is still going on, and you're threatened by that.
	Otherwise, why else are you doing this?
	One thing that also really frustrates me about this sort of thing is that when you get mainstream media coverage, things like the BBC, I saw when I was just watching the news my own free time, they talked about this sort of stuff and they always skirt over the religious element to it, that it's Muslim men, older Muslim men, doing this to white, normally working class women.
	Non-Muslim women.
	Yes.
	Muslim women off the table, usually in 99% of those cases, because, well, that's the motivation.
	And I've always said, cultural reasons.
	Which culture?
	No, no.
	Don't ask that question, but, you know, it's certain cultures, trust me.
	It's something that didn't have to happen.
	We didn't have to have these kinds of people here, and it really is one of the most disgusting things that goes on in this country.
	They go on in this article just to list some other stories we've spoken about.
	I mean, the fact that there's one guy who's called the Master, who had Pakistani citizenship, so he thought, you know, deporting to Pakistan.
	He denounced his Pakistani citizenship so he could stay here forever.
	Which, um, that worked in court, and he is now with us forever.
	Why do we allow this to happen to our country?
	It's terrible.
	But if you go to the next one here, you can also see that she continues telling us what happened.
	She says in here, I don't know if you can scroll up, but someone says, when you go on GB News and say that child sex crimes are still happening, Telford, it's our duty to speak to you, the police said in response to her.
	When she asked the police, well, why are you questioning us?
	Right.
	Okay.
	So it's your duty to speak to me because I dare go on national TV and say that it's still going on.
	Why?
	Exactly.
	For what possible reason?
	I mean, again, as she mentioned, you could have emailed me, could have phoned me.
	At any point, you've got those.
	It's pure intimidation, isn't it?
	The reason they're going there and just like, well, you spoke about this thing that we don't like you talking about, so we've turned up to your door unannounced.
	Just to say hi.
	Just to check in.
	Someone said something but it's deleted so we can't read that.
	However she responds.
	It would have been easy to drop me an email or give me a call to treat me with an ounce of respect and dignity.
	Why come banging on a victim's door like they are some sort of criminal if not to intimidate them?
	Yeah, 100%.
	I think her announcement of what's happened there probably seems to be the correct one.
	And I don't know what the hell else they would be doing there.
	I'm sure there might be some police officers who say, oh, you know, there might be a rule that says we have to go and talk to them.
	In which case, phone or email would have done.
	Not acting like they're in trouble would have done.
	But no, instead, she had to be treated like this.
	Fantastic.
	But there's a thing, and a reason as to why this keeps going on, which is that there's an unbelievable soft spot for the British managers of this country, and, uh, well, this is the point in which they're incredibly soft and a bit wounded, which is that this still goes on, they never dealt with it, and, uh...
	Well, they don't like that being pointed out.
	As we can see, at least in one clip here, this is in Oldham, Manchester, talking about the fact that you remember that we showed that clip of all the locals turning up and being pretty pissed off with the release of a report that said there was no cover-up.
	Trust us.
	Okay.
	No one trusted you before.
	But then I saw this clip, as you see Voice of Wales putting out here, and it's mighty interesting.
	There's, as they say, Samantha was picked up by Pakistani pedophiles at Oldham Police Station, and then raped by seven men in one night.
	Thanks, police.
	Oldham Council lied to the mayor's CSE review, saying she didn't want to testify and was suicidal.
	I'm not surprised.
	No, but it also just seems to not be even true.
	Apparently she did want to testify, at least according to her and the counsellor, who then speaks up for her in this clip.
	Let's play.
	Who was responsible for telling the review team not to interview Sam?
	It's a very important question.
	We need to identify them individuals and find out what's happening to them.
	So who were the people responsible for trying to stop Sam being interviewed by this review team?
	Nobody attempted to avoid Samantha being interviewed.
	That's not true.
	Excuse me.
	I'm going to come on back on that, Gerard.
	Gerard, we have the victim in this room tonight, so be careful what you say.
	In relation to...
	If I could finish.
	In relation to the point about Sam, I can say that there was no attempt to...
	Her case was brought forward by the Council.
	Information in relation to her case was produced by the Council and the review team was supported to interview her.
	Thank you.
	No, no, I won't sit down.
	The answer to that question, the victim is in this room, and that is lies.
	There's a council officer being untrue when the victim is in this very room.
	It's not impossible.
	I love that clip.
	Good for that man.
	I'm not sure who he is, but well done for him for actually sticking up for the victims.
	It's depressing that that's a rarity.
	I know there are people that do it, obviously, but we definitely need a lot more of that.
	So I believe he's a conservative councillor because it's a Labour-run council, because it mostly is, let's be honest.
	And as you can see here, it's the fact that I don't think we get to see this very often.
	I think, as the guest we had before was mentioning, that this usually isn't allowed to take place because they know how bad it will look because it's recorded.
	And as you can see, all the locals turning up and shouting, and all the managers at the front there who have to sit and pretend that they're being taken seriously.
	Well, the funny thing is, these so-called managers, they have allegiance with the police who've covered this up, because the police are more managerial than actual people who are on the front line stopping crime.
	They're more bureaucrat than actual people who are safeguarding others.
	Yeah, that's why I'm describing them as much.
	I don't think they deserve much more of a title at this point.
	Absolutely, yeah.
	They should live with that one instead.
	But anyway, that's one form of resistance which I really do love to see, and I'm quite glad it's starting to perk up.
	Very rarely have you seen this in Britain in response to mass rape.
	Yeah, it is nice, isn't it?
	Kind of a blank stain on us, but that's our culture speaking there.
	But then we finally get to see it, because, well, they've actually been able to just force themselves into the council rooms now.
	However, I thought I'd end this off just by talking about another form of resistance that's not being tolerated, which is in the Netherlands.
	And the Nederlanders are doing something very interesting, of course, with the Dutch farmers.
	So I thought we'd go and check out just some of the footage and clips.
	This clip playing right now is absolutely insane.
	The police officer's just punching him in the face.
	He's not even trying to restrain him.
	He's just...
	Yeah, so I don't know what the circumstances as to where exactly they are or why the police are doing this.
	It looks like a park, so I don't know what possible reason there could be for this kind of violence.
	But there's this police officer who's just punching the crap out of some guy.
	But he's got his hands up like that.
	He's like, no, no, no, I want to stop.
	And he's just repeatedly punching him in the face.
	But that's, you know, at some protest, I don't know what happened before or after.
	But the more, you know, obviously extreme point is in terms of the guy who's just filming.
	With his phone.
	Like, there is no chance that he was, you know, showing any kinds of violence.
	Well, yeah.
	It's difficult to be violent when you're holding a camera still, isn't it?
	And the dude, as you see, just turns around and goes, boff!
	And it's just like, why?
	Oh, dear.
	What threat were you in?
	Zero.
	Dutch police are all former boxers, apparently.
	It's mad.
	Like, what's the purpose of this?
	Clearly, this guy has either lost his mind or is just out there to show them their place, presumably.
	If we go to the next one here, we can see the most extreme thing that happened, which is being shown around the world, because, of course, guns, not too common in Europe.
	It's in the United States.
	All Americans were surprised by this as well.
	But here's a Dutch police officer who decided to open fire on one of the farmers who was engaging in the blockade and tried to cross lanes.
	Let's play.
	Hey, look at this guy.
	Hey, weapons, guys!
	Hey, go away, go away!
	Hey, go away, go away!
	Wapens, guys!
	They're live round.
	Is it a film?
	What are they thinking?
	I don't know what on earth is wrong with those people.
	So, for people listening, there's two armed police officers and there's a guy in his tractor with his trailer who decides to just go around the blockade to go down some other street, presumably.
	So the armed police officers decide to shoot him.
	Which don't make any sense.
	You can't even justify...
	Like, it could be justified if they were seen as driving towards them, but they find the shots as it's obvious that it's driving away from them, avoiding them.
	Yeah, my understanding is they shot the tractor, no one's been injured, thankfully, but also just, what the hell's wrong with you?
	I mean, drawing your gun, fair enough.
	Firing it is a completely different thing there, I think.
	But if you draw it, you better be prepared to fire it.
	That's what they were saying, which is, we're going to kill you.
	Why?
	Because you're out of traffic.
	If a vehicle's coming towards you, it makes sense to draw your weapon, but you want to establish that it's actually trying to run you down before you fire shots.
	Except at no point is it even turning its wheels towards you.
	It doesn't make any damn sense.
	But if you go to the next image here, you can see some other armed police officers arresting, presumably, some guy out of his tractor.
	And as you can see, he turned up pointing the gun at him because, no, he's in a moving vehicle.
	No.
	It doesn't really seem necessary there.
	A conversation would suffice.
	That's just escalating it, isn't it?
	And making the chance of violence greater.
	For what possible reason do you have to point a hangar?
	A guy in a tractor who's not moving?
	Okay, right.
	Makes sense.
	Of course.
	The only thing that I can think of is that if Holland...
	If the Netherlands is anything like Britain, farmers are the most armed people going.
	So maybe that?
	I don't know.
	But if you don't see a weapon, then...
	Well, yeah, of course.
	That's the reasonable position.
	I have not seen any weapons, at least, you know, firearms from the farmers.
	That's for sure.
	If you go to the next one here, this is probably one of the most interesting clips that I've seen.
	As you can see, there are some protesters enjoying their day, doing a bit of protesting.
	You know, it's their democratic right in a free country.
	This police fan turns up and is like, not on my watch, you don't.
	And then a bunch of plainclothes police officers jump out, as you can see, with masks on, presumably to arrest someone.
	Otherwise, what the hell?
	What's with the, like, you know, frankly, secret police nature to all this?
	This is horrifying.
	And they pull out their batons and just start, like, getting in a fight with the crowd.
	I don't think they were successful in trying to arrest whoever they were trying to arrest, unless they were just trying to cause, you know, provocation, as Ian says there, which is another option, of course.
	Well, it does seem like it, doesn't it?
	A bunch of plainclothes people just burst out of a van and snatch people away, like they're the Gestapo.
	This is not like the...
	it seems to me that the only reason they would do such a thing rather than rely on you know the supposed authority of wearing a uniform so people recognize okay that's the police not just a kidnapping in daylight you kind of any normal person would respond in the way the protesters did yeah so it seems deliberately designed i just remember the portland protest remember the portland's you know trump stormtroopers the secret police yeah and uh then they played a clip in the senate
	and uh you could see the words police over all of the secret police's uniform it does seem like an eternity ago but you're right yeah I remember Ted Cruz just saying, just a note there, the word police is on those secret police officers.
	Yep, because that's not how secret police work.
	Go and check out any footage of the secret police in the Iron Curtain.
	They look like that.
	They look like plainclothes police officers who just jump out and steal people instead.
	If you go to the next one as well, there's also just the footage of them getting BTFO'd from the bad man here on Getter, of course.
	I don't know if you can play this without the audio, but it's just they seem to have failed in whatever the hell they were trying to do.
	This is a different angle.
	Yeah.
	It looks like it.
	It's just like they quickly retreat back to the van, trying to beat up anyone who goes anywhere near them.
	There's an old man on the front lines.
	Good to see.
	Yeah.
	Very based.
	Also, if we go to the next one, we can see some more protesting footage, which I just love.
	As you can see here, you can see a bunch of the tractors have lined up, apparently making the no farmers, no food help sign, of course.
	It's just like, eh.
	That's how you do a protest right there.
	In English.
	If you go to the next one, you can see just the aerial vision of that in stills, which is very cool.
	I do like.
	And if we go to the next one, we can see they've also decided to start blocking airports.
	So this is Groningen Airport, which a bunch of guys just drove their tractors up to the entrance and went, yeah, this is where I'm spending my day.
	A tractor at an airport just looks out of place as well.
	There's the entrance, there's the tractor, right on the doorstep.
	No flights for you.
	No one is flying.
	To hell with you people.
	I must admit, there is something amazing where you can see, nah, you can resist.
	You certainly can.
	Good for them as well, because what the Dutch government is doing to them is appalling.
	I wonder if we can wait just for this to flip back around, because you can see them actually driving up to the entrance and just parking there.
	Just like, yeah, there we are.
	That must have been very funny.
	If you go to the next one as well, they've also decided to copy the Ukrainian strategy of just stealing vehicles.
	So you can see they're stealing a police car here.
	Because that's mine now.
	Thank you very much.
	Is the police in there?
	Or is it just the empty vehicle?
	I think it's just an empty vehicle.
	But you remember the Ukrainians stealing APCs?
	Of course, yeah.
	Thank you very much, Mr.
	Putin.
	Now you have this.
	Thank you very much, Mr.
	Policeman.
	It's just next year you're going to see the Dutch farmers all driving around in the new motors, just repainted, lights bashed off.
	It's going to be...
	D.F.P. The Dutch Farmers Police.
	They're going to be the new police force.
	We're on this county now.
	Rather than a baton, they're going to have a little pitchfork on the side.
	If you go to the next one, you're going to see the dumping manure at the border roads as well, which is hilarious.
	This is on the German border.
	Just enjoy our literal piles of ass.
	Incredibly based.
	Dumping manure on the German border.
	I approve.
	They deserve it.
	And then there's also, if you go to the next one, as one of the commentators sent in, there is a Sherman Firefly that has been wealthily donated to the cause.
	What does our boys do for the cause?
	Well, they brought in the Shermans.
	Because, you know, Lake Groningen had to be liberated by the North Americans.
	This is a perfectly reasonable farming vehicle.
	I see no problem with this.
	A little jeep in the back there, so you can give commands as well.
	Wonderful.
	If you go to the next one, there's also the fact that TikTok is just full of this as well, as Martin pointed out.
	He just had a compilation of loads of TikTok clips of stuff happening.
	It just goes on and on.
	So there we have it.
	There is some examples of where resistance can happen.
	And the last one here, just the fact that the protests have, of course, now gone global.
	As you see, this lady here who has been at the forefront of making sure everyone knows what's going on.
	Her Twitter account is filled with, you know, this has happened, that has happened.
	On Tucker Carlson as well, to make sure the Yanks are aware of what is happening.
	But there we have it.
	There's the resistance, which we could be proud of, and some of it growing in response to the grooming.
	However, if you speak out about it, apparently you still get a visit from the police.
	Wonderful.
	Lovely free country.
	Move on.
	So, finally, Boris Johnson has resigned as Prime Minister, and to be honest, I'm quite surprised it took this long.
	After the number of scandals he's had...
	I thought he just stepped down as party leader.
	Well, he said he's going to resign as Prime Minister.
	Oh, okay.
	But he has stepped down as party leader.
	So he's resigned as party leader, but then Prime Minister will come.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Not necessarily, John.
	But anyway, he's been hit by so many scandals that it normally would have spelled the end for most other Prime Ministers.
	I think that everyone can recognise that, even the most fervent of Boris supporters.
	So what we're going to be talking about today is what actually brought him down, the mountain of scandals that did eventually bring him down.
	I'm going to summarise those, not go into too much detail, but then talk about his legacy, what he's actually done, and And we're going to have a proper evaluation of the Prime Ministerial ship of Alexander DePethel Johnson.
	I can never say that.
	DePethel.
	Was it Greek or something?
	I think so, yeah.
	It's impossible to say.
	I can see why he calls himself Boris Johnson.
	So yes, moving on to the scandals.
	One of the most prominent in most people's mind is Partygate, which...
	Basically boils down to the fact he held parties in Downing Street or his offices, including his own office, that violated his own COVID rules.
	And there were reports of things such as members of his cabinet coming back with suitcases full of booze, staff vomiting in the offices.
	It sounds like a wild night.
	And although I didn't really care about this as much as most people because...
	The fact they undermine their own rules just goes to show how bad the rules were in the first place.
	And Boris seemingly denied that the party broke, or that he was aware that his parties broke his own rules, despite the fact that everyone in the country obviously knew that you shouldn't be throwing parties when you're meant to be locked down, all that stuff.
	Nonsense that we've since forgotten about.
	Of course, he and many of the attendees were fined by the police, and he was forced to apologise to the Queen on the eve of her husband, Prince Philip's funeral.
	And this is particularly important because at the actual funeral itself, she was seated alone at the funeral because mixing indoors was banned.
	And this was kind of a heartbreaking moment.
	Where you see the Queen alone at her husband's funeral, right in the midst of Boris Johnson having thrown parties.
	And it was a real clash of integrity, really, wasn't it?
	Because you've got Boris Johnson on the one hand making the rules and breaking them, then you've got the Queen being stoic, seated alone at the death of her husband.
	A husband.
	And it's really kind of sad.
	And people felt like this really reflected badly on Boris.
	It's not just the breaking the rules, but the timing as well of it was appalling.
	Well, it's the understanding of what a leader is.
	I mean, Her Majesty understands that she has a duty and then does that duty, whereas politicians don't.
	And then there's lots of cases of sexual misconduct of Conservative MPs.
	I don't think there's a single time in British political history where a party has been so rife with these sexual misconduct cases and allegations.
	I know it's kind of half of the course for politics, but even so, just the frequency of them.
	So, for example, there were two by-elections after two MPs stepped down for separate cases of sexual misconduct, which resulted in both of them losing their seats.
	Obviously doesn't look good for Boris.
	There's obviously the Conservative lawmaker Imran Ahmed Khan resigning after being found guilty of having sexually abused a 15-year-old boy, which is appalling.
	Neil Parrish, another Conservative lawmaker.
	I believe he represented Honiton in Devon, my home county.
	Embarrassing.
	Resigned after admitting he watched pornography on his phone in the House of Commons twice in a moment of madness.
	But how can it be a moment of madness if you do it twice?
	Seems a bit weird.
	You can be twice mad.
	It was just a moment of madness, but it did happen twice.
	Very strange.
	Another Conservative lawmaker has been arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, and other offences, and they were bailed in May, and they have not been identified to protect the identity of the victim, so we don't even know who this person is.
	And yeah, that's a lot, isn't it?
	That's far too many, and especially in the short time that Boris has been Prime Minister, about three years-ish, isn't it?
	Something like that.
	Um, and of course...
	But I mean, these aren't the issues that I think anyone really cares about.
	I mean, no one cares that Prime Minister X got in X scandal that's, you know, some sexual thing or whatever.
	They care about what they do as Prime Minister.
	What do you actually achieve?
	And the things you care about with Boris Johnson is that he didn't achieve what you wanted him to.
	Yes, and we will be getting on to that, but I feel like the build-up of all of these scandals just ruined his credibility as someone who has integrity, as you alluded to earlier, someone who is a leader.
	Maybe, but it's not really what matters when it comes down to, you know, why was he elected and got all this sport?
	Okay, well then, he's at that position, he's got all this country behind him, and then manages to alienate every single one of them by not doing something useful for them.
	I mean, that's all you really have to do in politics, just keep your base happy.
	I do think that plenty of the scandals did influence public opinion against him.
	People who don't follow politics so closely, they're more interested in the sort of interpersonal deeds to gather an idea of the moral character, because they can't understand The intricacies of the political policy.
	It takes a lot of understanding to do that, really, doesn't it?
	Well, it's usually the opposite, in my opinion.
	Oh, really?
	Weird stuff happens in Westminster I don't care about.
	I care about, you know, has he given a great speech that tells BLM to go F it or whatever, something like that, rather, seems to get through to people.
	Yeah, but we cover politics every day.
	We know what's going on.
	But to the average person sat at home...
	This is the opinion debate.
	But anyway, moving on, there was also the Owen Paterson affair, where a Parliamentary Standards Committee recommended suspending a Conservative lawmaker, former Minister Owen Paterson, for 30 days after finding he had committed an egregious case of paid advocacy by lobbying on behalf of companies that paid him.
	And...
	That isn't necessarily the part that reflects badly on Boris.
	It's that the Conservatives initially voted to halt the suspension and try to overhaul the process of investigating lawmakers for doing this sort of thing, which is obviously inherently corrupt.
	He got given money to lobby on behalf of a company and did so.
	So, that's an egregious case of paid advocacy, as the committee suggested, I would say.
	And yes, eventually he resigned and the government had to abandon this, but it looked really bad because they were covering for him for something that is clearly wrong.
	Someone should be held accountable for doing that.
	That's clear corruption.
	And they also lost the election to replace Paterson, so that was lost to another party.
	So you're seeing they're just trickling away these seats, and it doesn't look good for Boris.
	And the penultimate one is the Downing Street flat gate, which was probably one of the more minor ones.
	To be fair, basically, there was a refurbishment of Boris's Downing Street flat, which led to him being fined £1,700, and it For apparently failing to report that it was funded by a donation.
	I mean, I don't really care about that.
	If they're using donations to refurbish flats in Downing Street, it's not really a big deal, is it?
	But for some reason, people seem to care about that one.
	Well, the argument is, what did he get in return for that donation?
	Yes, of course.
	And that would be a case of corruption.
	Mm-hmm.
	But I think because he was pretty transparent about it, he just said, okay, this, this, and this happened.
	They looked into it.
	There was no intentional misleading or trying to hide stuff.
	He just seemed to think it was fine, which I can kind of see a little bit more so than some of the other stuff.
	But the final straw that broke the camel's back, if you will, was known as the Pinscher Affair, and the Scotsman has actually got quite a good article breaking down how this gradually led to the collapse of Boris Johnson's government, and I'm going to read a little bit from this.
	So...
	It's titled, Why is Boris Johnson Resigning?
	Timeline of events that led to Prime Minister Boris Johnson standing down.
	So the story starts off on the 29th of June 2022, when Mr Pinscher allegedly behaved inappropriately while drunk on Wednesday night at the Carlton Club, which was a conservative private members club in London.
	And he eventually resigned because of how he behaved.
	I'm not entirely sure what he got up to to cause him to resign.
	But he resigned as Deputy Chief Whip, and apparently The Sun reported the allegations against him the evening before.
	So it started to become a national story.
	The Prime Minister bowed to pressure in the face of an outcry over his delay in suspending the whip against Mr Pincher, which, to be fair, he was trying to find out whether there was any truth to the allegations.
	You don't want to just, as soon as the media is talking about something, strike someone off, because that's...
	They could potentially be innocent, right?
	They could have not done anything harmful.
	It could be fake news.
	But yeah, the move came amid further claims being levelled against Mr Pinscher, as well as an investigation launched against him because there were complaints.
	So that's actually something a bit more tangible that would be able to get him removed.
	But to be fair, they gave him the benefit of the doubt to start.
	Downing Street claimed that Mr Johnson was not aware of specific allegations against Mr Pinscher before appointing him Deputy Chief Whip.
	However, apparently, according to one source, the Prime Minister accordingly quipped, Pinscher by name, Pinscher by nature.
	So that makes me think that there's some sort of questionable sexual assault history.
	It seems to me that perhaps he did know, and maybe they were lying.
	So it seems to me that something shady probably was going on here.
	So it goes on to say that Mr Pinscher claimed he is now seeking medical support after getting too drunk and embarrassing himself, which, I mean, his actions almost directly led to the collapse of a government, so that's got to be some wild night.
	I don't know what he got up to.
	But yes, this basically led to numerous ministers resigning after it emerged that Boris Johnson might have lied to About his knowledge of Pinscher's background.
	And this carried on and on and on.
	So it got to the point where, after Boris Johnson had taken office in 2019, a total of 60 government ministers had resigned whilst he was being Prime Minister, which is quite a large number.
	I mean, it's relatively close to Theresa May, but that's not exactly much praise, is it?
	I mean, Theresa May wasn't exactly known for doing particularly much.
	So, moving on and on...
	Ministers continued to resign.
	He got lambasted in the Commons, particularly by people like Sajid Javid, who had since resigned, and then said it was unacceptable what he was doing, saying, you should resign.
	So when his own former sort of inner circle of ministers had turned on him, he was seeing that, OK, well, there aren't that many people loyal to me anymore.
	I must resign.
	So eventually, on the 7th of July, the BBC reported that Boris Johnson is resigning as Conservative Party leader.
	and addressed the country at midday yesterday, confirming that he had stepped down as prime minister, stating, I'm quoting here, he was immensely proud of achievements of his government from getting Brexit done to putting the UK through the pandemic and leading the West in standing up to Putin's aggression in he was immensely proud of achievements of his government from getting The usual babble.
	Yes, exactly.
	This is what I mean by what I said, the internal nonsense of Westminster is not what people are going to remember or care about.
	I mean, the events that led up to this specific instance of him resigning is not really what killed Boris Johnson.
	I mean, what killed Boris Johnson was the lockdowns, as Starkey said this morning.
	I mean, it's absolutely, that's the thing that changed him from the Brexit man with Dominic Cummings into this weird figure who locked down the whole country, essentially telling everyone that the state was God and has a right to tell you what to do, and then got caught in his own trap by having those parties.
	I mean, like, Nigel Farage was correct when he said that's the beginning of the end of Boris Johnson, because it's, okay, he's thrown his entire worldview instead of with, you know, your ideological friends who got you where you are, instead with this idea that the state should be God through locking down the country, and then even that, you messed up.
	You couldn't even be consistent on that.
	Yeah, and I do agree with that.
	And I'm also going to get onto in a second an article from the Washington Examiner before I go into this article.
	This is actually a video from Carl, sorry.
	Boris was elected as a radical and it's talking about how Boris Johnson's promises when he was elected very much differed from how he's actually behaved and how this is kind of a betrayal of, you know, people who are actually conservative because he certainly hasn't behaved like one before.
	He hasn't capitalised on Brexit.
	He hasn't repealed the legacy of Tony Blair, but I'll get on to all the things he's done wrong.
	I'm certainly not going to give him an easy time, but let's move on to this article by Daniel Hannan first, who's one of my favourite people in Parliament, really.
	He's in the House of Lords.
	He was known for being quite the Brexiteer, big proponent of the free market and limited government, also criticised the government for the lockdowns, which is why He says the lockdown was the kind of point, as you say, where people's attitudes changed.
	This lovable idiot all of a sudden became very abrasive when he's forcing you to stay in your homes.
	And these sorts of bumbling, foolish jokes, they didn't really land anymore because people realised that, wow, this is actually really terrible.
	I'm not willing to humour this anymore.
	Well, it's because it's not so much he just abandoned his bumbling jokes so they weren't landing.
	It's because there's a complete tonal shift between Boris Johnson, the man who's get Brexit done, you know, love the country, North and the South United because, you know, Labour are a bunch of nonce hunters.
	Sorry, nonce defenders.
	No, that Oh, what you can do in your own homes or even leave them i mean that is a huge difference between what happened
	people really did expect something very different from him and he all he delivered was much of the same of exactly what we've come to expect from politicians where they're just willing to rule by decree make our lives objectively worse and it's it's kind of unacceptable isn't it So, moving back to this article by Daniel Hannan, it starts off saying, Boris Johnson was brought down three successive prime ministers.
	First, David Cameron, who he beat in 2016.
	Then Theresa May, whose cold fingers he pried off of the Downing Street door handles in 2019.
	Now, Boris Johnson.
	And what he's trying to say is that he inflicted this upon himself by his own policy decisions.
	And basically, I think he does a good job of looking at some of the good that he did, whilst mainly holding him accountable for a lot of the bad he did.
	I think that there are some good things he did.
	He did, for example, get Theresa May out of the driving seat for Brexit, which would have been a disaster.
	Her negotiations just simply weren't working.
	It probably didn't help that the person she sent to do the negotiations was an arch Remainer.
	This kind of seems like a fundamental thing, but never mind.
	It goes on to say, his character flaws did for him...
	No.
	What?
	That doesn't make sense.
	But anyway, everyone knew Boris's strengths and weaknesses when he was elected.
	He was sharp, witty, undisciplined, egotistical, generous, licentious, optimistic, unreliable, and incapable of bearing a grudge.
	The norms that bound the rest of us, however, never applied to him.
	He seemed like one of Homer's heroes, or perhaps Nietzsche's magnificent blonde beast hungry for plunder and victory.
	His Wikipedia entry is unclear on how many children he has.
	He came to office after a string of gaffs and misadventures that would have destroyed another politician, yet he won the greatest majority since Margaret Thatcher's in 1987.
	At first, his contempt for conviction was just what the country needed.
	No one else could have broken the deadlock that set in after 2017 when a pro-EU majority in Parliament refused to allow Brexit but also blocked fresh elections.
	It was bold, bombastic Boris who beat Corbyn, delivered Brexit and again, defying all procedures, procured the fastest vaccine roll in the world.
	Don't much care about that last part.
	But as I lamented in these pages at the time, the lockdown altered people's psychology.
	A mood of grim and prissy self-denial settled on Britain.
	Boris's jokes began to fall flat.
	All his life, he had been forgiven for his failings by a nation that saw them as part of a Falstaffian character.
	Suddenly, the smallest infractions began to enrage voters.
	I kind of hate this rhetoric.
	The idea that he was once the funny man, and now something's changed, he's not so funny.
	I can't figure out why.
	Well, it's not the humour aspect, it's that people's patience wore thin after what he did.
	It's the ideological shift.
	I mean, you will support Bumbly Funny Man if he's doing the right things.
	If he's telling Johnny Foreigner to get stuffed, the EU can go screw themselves, and, you know, we're going to be Brexit United.
	That actually is something you can get behind, no matter how fumbly and bubbly he is.
	Whereas if he's actively oppressing you, and he's fumbly and bumbly, it's not about the fumbly and bumbly.
	That's not the thing that's interesting about the change.
	The change is the ideological steps he took.
	Yeah.
	So, it goes on to say, there is, I suppose, a certain irony in Boris Johnson being brought down by a sex scandal that didn't involve him, but what really did for him was the shift in the national mood.
	He was to...
	I'm going to skip over that part.
	But anyway, he goes on to say that through things like the authoritarian mood ushered in by COVID and his unwillingness to say no led paradoxically to greater unpopularity.
	So this is exactly the point you're actually making that he was building up to is that it was this authoritarian shift that he did that was eventually his downfall.
	Yeah, let me do a thing that will alienate my entire base.
	Yes.
	Politics 101.
	The funny thing is that the herd immunity idea that he was banding around originally, well, it seems that from some of the research post-pandemic, that could have actually been far better as a strategy, but there we go.
	The research P-pandemic was also good for that.
	That's by the by now, unfortunately, and we can't really talk about that on YouTube, can we, I don't think.
	But yes, let's talk about the good and the bad of Boris Johnson to end this, to kind of ruminate on his questionable legacy.
	So I suppose one of the good things is that he did see Brexit through to its actual conclusion, which is something.
	It was a difficult push with a hostile parliament, as Hannan pointed out.
	He did also crush Jeremy Corbyn, who was obviously a socialist, with an 80-seat majority.
	However, it's worth pointing out that he didn't do anything with it.
	One of the largest majorities, he basically carried on the status quo, didn't he?
	And I've got a long list of things that you could have reversed of Tony Blair's that would have been bread and butter, conservative things that you could have done to make everyone happy, he just ignored.
	But of course another potentially good thing, depending on who you ask, is that he did spearhead the European response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and provided the Ukrainians with many weapons to at least give them a fighting chance.
	Part of me thinks that, well, that was a lot of British money in the middle of a financial downturn.
	And also actually, compared to what the Americans were giving, it's nothing.
	Yes.
	So, I don't know.
	So, there is plenty of bad stuff to go over, and I don't like the guy, personally.
	I think that, sure, he's the best of a bad bunch, but...
	What he did was kind of appalling as a Prime Minister.
	So, for example, immigration was never higher, even though he got elected on a promise of reducing immigration.
	So 2021 saw legal immigration reach a million people in the middle of a pandemic.
	That's a terrible legacy to leave behind, isn't it?
	That's the antithetical to your own election promises.
	I mean, you promised to reduce immigration, you made it the highest ever.
	Not only that, of course, but channel migrants, the illegal migrants, were at their highest levels as well, weren't they?
	And they didn't really do anything...
	To reduce that.
	They tried to do the Rwanda plan many years too late which hasn't really taken off the ground if you pardon the pun.
	But there is also of course the fact that When he was London mayor, he promised amnesty for all illegal immigrants in London.
	So where does his heart really lie?
	Was he just saying stuff to get elected and all he really cared about was power?
	Because that's probably what I would say is true.
	I don't think he actually cared about these issues.
	I think what he cared about was power.
	You know, beating his mate Dave, you know, David Cameron, they went to school together.
	He got to be Prime Minister.
	He wanted to be Prime Minister.
	It was more about that.
	And you see how chipper he was when he was resigning.
	He was almost pleased It wasn't like Theresa May where she was crying her eyes out.
	It was very weird that he was resigning and he couldn't suppress a smile.
	I don't know.
	It's all in bad taste to me.
	Of course, as you suggested...
	Well, they had just won the Brexit referendum.
	He was on the right side of it and was about to become Prime Minister, everyone thought.
	What, in his resignation?
	No, in David Cameron's resignation.
	Oh, right.
	No, no, I was on about Boris Johnson smiling and being happy.
	No, I don't think David Cameron was.
	Oh, you wish.
	Yeah, you can palmer off onto the next Prime Minister.
	So, yes, obviously the lockdowns was a massive disaster.
	I really don't like how they were handled in Britain.
	The only consolation really is that they were better than a lot of the continent, but that's very small as a consolation.
	I'm pretty miserable about the whole state of the political system that he's left behind as well.
	So, yes, he also held the potential for the introduction of vaccine passports over people's heads to try and coerce people into uptaking the thing before actually U-turning, which is not great.
	He failed to capitalize on the advantages that Brexit afforded us.
	We haven't tried to be as competitive as we could.
	We've signed a few trade deals, but not nearly enough to really warrant how much of a champion he was of the process.
	You would think that, okay, he would have this process set in place day one.
	We're going to organise trade deals with these countries.
	We can get this sorted.
	We know what we want.
	Because it wasn't a surprise.
	We knew what...
	It was going to happen, and yet it took so long to sort out.
	And this is a bit petty, but in his resignation, he thanked the civil service, despite them actively undermining the actions of the government.
	I believe we've covered this on the podcast before, that when the government banned these woke kinds of training, like unconscious bias training, diversity training, they said, we can't have these in government departments.
	We had people leaking us information that said that it was going on.
	And the fact that they're directly insubordinate against him, and then he goes out of his way to thank them in his resignation speech.
	I mean, what was he thinking?
	It's just dumb.
	Yes.
	And of course, he used the slogan, Build Back Better, the Biden and World Economic Forum associated slogan.
	So yeah, kind of an indicator of his true allegiance there.
	And of course, this is probably my main gripe, this next one, is that he had a large majority, one of the largest we've had in many years, but failed to remove the legacy of Tony Blair.
	So he could have got rid of the Supreme Court, which doesn't fit in with the British Constitution.
	It doesn't work.
	It actively undermines Parliament.
	It's just an avenue for activism.
	It doesn't belong in Britain.
	It didn't repeal Section 127 of the Communications Act.
	There are plenty of hate speech laws.
	Still affirmative action is legal.
	There's still the BBC being left-wing.
	That hasn't changed.
	They could have fixed that.
	They increased NHS funding and encouraged the creepy NHS worship.
	This, like, oh, praise the NHS, aren't they?
	Great.
	I mean, sure, the people on the front lines are probably working hard, but praising the institution that we pay taxes for, a lot of money for, that's just weird.
	It's weird state worship.
	But that's exactly my point.
	The change in ideology from, you know, we're going to save money, cut spending, actually get rid of the government debt, to let's just praise the holy NHS. That is what we live for, right, comrades?
	I would go so far as to say he didn't really believe in much other than naked power.
	He just wanted to be the man in the chair.
	Well, that's the problem with Tories.
	I mean, whenever you act out or you talk to them, too often you get the phrase which is, oh, I don't believe in ideology, I just believe in what works.
	The hell does that mean?
	What works can be defined by anyone to mean anything, depending on your ideology, funnily enough.
	Well, ideology is your preconception that you go to look at what works.
	You can't not have ideology.
	It's impossible to escape it.
	But also, what man are you?
	Why did you join an ideological party if you were then just going to be a man in a suit?
	And that's what you get.
	That is what we had, yeah.
	Another egregious thing is, shortly before we left, he accused Putin of toxic masculinity.
	Very embarrassing for Britain.
	We've got this spineless man who's ruled over by his wife, accusing Putin of toxic masculinity.
	Surely that just serves to make Putin look better to his own country.
	Just like, oh, you're toxically masculine, whereas I'm under the thumb of my wife.
	I mean, come on.
	Yeah, he also said it's okay to be woke.
	And yeah, he also launched a green investment scheme with Bill Gates and was mad on all of that eco stuff talking about net zero and all of these sorts of climate conspiracies that don't actually have any reasoned evidence behind them.
	And yeah, I mean, what's your overall feeling of Boris Johnson being gone?
	No, I don't care.
	This is why yesterday I said I don't care.
	Because I'm not interested in the man himself.
	Because the difference between today and five days ago is what?
	Nothing, really.
	Like, yeah, he's gone.
	But then what's interesting is who's going next and what's the lineup look like?
	Because so far it seems to be the main front runners, as the betting shops are picking, are just the same thing.
	Well, they're all of the senior members of Boris Johnson's cabinet, aren't they?
	So they're Boris adjacent.
	But it's not so much about that, it's the type of people.
	I mean, the fact that they are ideologically just vapid, there's nothing there.
	There is nothing that actually will have them nail their colours to the mast and say, no, we're not going to do lockdowns, or no, we're not going to do what the Labour Party says just because they've said it.
	Instead, because I actually believe something, we shan't do that.
	And then you could have your base, as you know, literally gave you an ADC majority, clap along and say, well, thank you for doing the right thing for once.
	And instead, it looks like we're not going to get that.
	My only hope is that the fact that he won such a large majority and he's already gone before his terms up...
	It might serve as a lesson that actually you need to stick by your principles, otherwise people are going to get rid of you, but I doubt that's going to happen.
	They won't learn that lesson.
	They'll learn the lesson that, oh yeah, don't get caught in a Westminster scandal, the media drum up.
	It's not a lesson to learn, you know nothing, but that's the thing they'll learn from it.
	Yeah, so not really much positive to say because we're not going to get anyone better.
	We've maybe got a chance of getting someone worse.
	At least the front ones I've seen.
	I thought we were going to the other aspects, but I don't know who's thrown the hat in the ring yet.
	I think one of the bookies' favourites is Rishi Sunak because he's one of the few senior Tories at the minute that seems to be able to beat Keir Starmer in polling.
	Yeah, I mean just empty suit man.
	Yeah, but I always find that with these sorts of races, it's always very difficult from the outset, before everyone's even thrown their hat in the ring, to predict where things are going to go.
	I mean, look at 2016 in America.
	No one would have guessed that Donald Trump would have been the Republican candidate, and yet he was.
	But you could have guessed that Donald Trump would be on your side.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	But I don't see there being anyone on our side in this prime ministerial competition.
	Sorry to end on a depressing note, but that's where I'm probably going to have to lead it.
	I think that Britain hasn't got a bright future ahead of it, as far as I'm concerned.
	There is a Blackpool to end on, okay?
	Let's get something more jolly, I suppose, then.
	So, let's go to BLM's newest hero.
	So, the newest martyr has been chosen.
	We now have the Katniss Everdeens for BLM for, you know, all three weeks until we find another one.
	So, we'll start off just by mentioning, because of course I have to, the promotion here being the Cultural Revolution book club we did with Harry, because a lot of that is obviously very similar to the other Marxists in the world.
	That being, well, BLM, of course.
	If we go forward, here's the story that popped up, and this, you know, the rage for all of five minutes.
	As you see, this is a race-baiting bishop who I've interacted with before, who for some reasons believes that black people can do no wrong.
	Literally, cannot do anything wrong, didn't do nothing to say.
	And he goes with, his name is J-Land Walker.
	Eight Archon Ohio cops fired 90 bullets at him, hitting him 60 times throughout his entire body.
	The cops pulled him over for a traffic violation.
	He was 25.
	He was a door dash driver.
	As if, you know, that's like he's a firefighter.
	He was unarmed, he was murdered, hashtag Jalen Walker, with a picture of, you know, the guy who didn't do nothing.
	And it's unbelievable how just formulaic this even seems.
	Like, even just by reading that tweet, I don't need to tell you what happened, you know what happened.
	His name was...
	Well, yeah.
	The fact...
	What I find funny is they talk about him being shot in the back, which obviously implies he was running away from the police.
	Yes, as well.
	You don't approach them with your back facing to them, unless you're...
	But that's the rhetoric of why he didn't do nothing, which is he was shot in the back.
	How could they?
	I was like, hmm, yes, if only.
	No one's ever run away when they've actually done something wrong.
	That never happens.
	They just stay there and they're like, I'm guilty.
	Well, you don't shoot a suspect running away.
	That's reasonable, which is that in normal circumstances, you wouldn't do that.
	However, you would do that if you thought your life was in danger or they were going to turn and shoot you, for example.
	Which, yeah, if you go to the next link here, you can see, yeah, here's him before getting pulled over in which he's shooting at the cops.
	Right, so when they pulled him over, he crashed, and they chased him.
	It would be reasonable for them to believe that he might turn and shoot at them, because he's already done it.
	Okay.
	Open and shut case, you would have thought.
	I mean, it's just, it's over.
	From what I heard, not only did he fire from within his vehicle, he was wearing a ski mask.
	Yes.
	Like a balaclava sort of deal.
	If you go to the next one, we can see it.
	Okay.
	That's an innocent man right there.
	Solid snake.
	There is, of course.
	I think the real piece of evidence here is that his name is Jay Walker, so no wonder he was a career criminal.
	My name is Burr.
	I'm sorry for that joke.
	Well, you can see here, Posto posting, Police in Arcoron released, I don't know how you say it, don't at me, released video of a breakdown of the Jalen Walker shooting.
	Should we just call him the Jay Walker shooting?
	Yes.
	So the Jay Walker shooting shows Jay Walker firing at police from his car, and then he gets out of his car with his lovely ski mask, because it's cold out, and, you know, COVID, presumably.
	And runs, and they try tasers on him, so the less-than-lethal option was used by the police, so they don't have to kill the guy, because they don't want to be dragged through the media as guys who killed a black man, which is, you know, good to killing a unicorn at this point.
	Who'd have thought?
	And he keeps running, so then they go for the lethal force, because he turns back at them, and they're like, well, he's shot at us before, ain't taking that risk, and shoot the crap out of him until he's not moving, because that's the correct procedure, which is if you think a guy's trying to kill you, you fire and fire and fire until there's no more bullets, and then you reload.
	And then have another go if he's moving.
	Seems to be a reasonable thing to do.
	Because if you go to the next timestamp here, they went bing bing bong, and he went down.
	So there you have it.
	That's a retelling of the story, which you can go and see the full footage of him getting bing bonged.
	Good description of a shooting, Callum.
	Bing bing bong bong.
	I've never heard a gun make that noise.
	60 bing-bongs apparently hit him.
	90 bing-bongs fired.
	If we've got a clip of the shooting, have you done like a little voiceover of the sound effects?
	We'll have to get Trump's voice, won't we?
	Bing-bing-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong and then it ended.
	And then you might think, oh, come on, you've been a bit flippin' about someone's son here.
	Yeah.
	That is true.
	I don't care, though, because this dude literally shot the police.
	I kind of guess what he deserves in this circumstance, which is just, like, if you just comply, it's the easiest thing to do.
	Like, even, okay, you shot the police, then what do you do?
	Right, I'm effed.
	I'm being chased.
	What the hell?
	Okay, hands up.
	I give up.
	I think a court of law is the place where you prove your innocence, not via firearm in a police stop.
	No, and instead he went with the other option.
	If you go to the next link here, you can see the response to this, of course, is to be like...
	But my poor boy, what did he do?
	Nothing, of course.
	So as you can see, 8 Acron Ohio cops shot 90 bullets into one black man.
	Whereas if they shot 90 black men with those bullets, I don't know, maybe it would have been better off?
	I don't know what that point is there.
	It's like, okay, they shot a lot of bullets into a man, that's normal.
	They're trying to argue that it was somehow barbaric, aren't they, by the number of shots.
	Like, if they shot him 90 times, well, they're somehow...
	Gratuitous, like they were taking pleasure out of it.
	More shots, more bad.
	I remember the guys in the Iranian siege, the SAS guys, they got shtick for this as well, because they were saying, oh, why did you empty a whole magazine into a terrorist?
	That last word, probably, was why.
	That terrorist part.
	If you thought about that, they were like, why don't you just double-tab them?
	It's like, okay, I mean, an enclosed space, I might go down as well, because he's got a gun, so screw it.
	I mean...
	Of all the people you should question for their conduct, the SAS. Yeah, they don't know what they're doing.
	So, no, this seems to be pretty procedural to deal with an armed suspect who you could be killed by at any minute.
	His name was Jay Walker.
	Over 60 of these shots were entered his body, legs, and face.
	He was only 25 years old and threw away his life so early.
	Again, that's his fault.
	It was no one else's fault, but this is BLM logic, so what do you expect?
	This will get swept under the rug.
	Black folks dying as victims of police terrorism isn't a hot topic anymore.
	Yes, indeed.
	There's nothing that could have been done to save Mr.
	Jay Walker from anything.
	Is that meant to be some sort of veiled threat, like Hot Topics?
	They almost burnt America to the ground in 2020.
	I know, I didn't read it that way, but that's totally true.
	And then just black folks are dying as victims of police terrorism.
	Yes, they pulled them over just to kill them, because they just felt like it.
	Yeah, they could tell from all that ways away, on a dark evening when he was in an unilluminated car, that looks like a black man to me.
	That's like...
	I can't see any facial features, but let's try it.
	These police, they're just expert phrenologists there.
	Yeah, they can see the eyes and just pick.
	If you go to the next thing here, there's also a poster pointing out that Reuters decided to cover this in their usual fashion by mentioning that nothing happened.
	Really irresponsible journalism.
	60 bullets.
	I mean, even if there are allegations that you don't necessarily believe are true, you should still report on them just in case your understanding of events is wrong.
	That's journalism 101, believe it or not.
	As you can see, the big defence also being that he's unarmed when he was shot.
	Okay, they found the gun in the car, and he'd already shot them.
	I'm pretty sure they found some used bullet casings as well, didn't they, in the car.
	So it's not, like, you can argue, oh my god, he was unarmed.
	It was like, that doesn't matter.
	Because obviously the context.
	Like, he's already shot them.
	They don't know if he's got a weapon.
	He turns around.
	Bing, bing, bong.
	Like, that's what you're going to do.
	So if you shoot loads and then you just drop your gun, like, it's like, well, you can't get me anymore.
	Yeah.
	I saw Nuance Bureau arguing with people about this in the past.
	There was one case of some teenager who threw his gun over a wall and then ran into some guys while they went bing, bing, bong.
	And then they were like, oh my god, oh no, I'm a teenager.
	How could you do this?
	And I was like, okay, but we thought he had a gun.
	And, you know, we know that because it's over here.
	So, we found that afterwards.
	Anyway, we'll go to the next one, of course, because AJ Plus has something to say, because, you know, he banned Russia today for being foreign propaganda trying to destabilise the West, but Qatari propaganda made to destabilise the West, which has a proven track record in the burning down of several cities, for example, not so much.
	They get free reign to do whatever they want.
	Sorry, I'm still salty about that double standard.
	I mean, either we do it or we don't, and apparently we only have some kind of destabilisation.
	Well, it's not so much hypocritical, it's about power again.
	Why do we let AJ Plus do this stuff?
	It's because, well, they support this narrative, which is unarmed black men just being killed for what?
	Nothing at all.
	Nothing at all.
	Anyway, so they mention that it's an innocent man who's just killed with no previous criminal record.
	How could they?
	Except the shooting.
	Which, you know, took place five seconds before.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Because then you have the Guardian, who also decided to mention that he shot the police zero times.
	Love my zeros.
	Let's just not even talk about it.
	I didn't know about that, either.
	Just not going to mention it.
	The Walker's killing, they write, which followed an attempted traffic stop, is the latest in a long line of US police shootings.
	I like how you're reading it with a bleeding heart, though.
	With often unarmed young black men.
	How could they do this?
	That has triggered widespread calls to tackle racism in the United States.
	Right, happened again, didn't it?
	How many of you at home?
	How many of you in this room?
	I read that, and the same thing happened to me.
	Everyone thought about race.
	Why?
	Bring me that.
	We don't know whether the police officers were black, as far as we know.
	Or at least I don't.
	Don't know that.
	We don't know if there was any racial motive.
	We've got no evidence there's a racial motive.
	All of us, everyone in the West, jumps to, black guy shot.
	Must have been racism.
	A part of your brain does that.
	I mean, that's how powerful this level of propaganda is.
	He died of racism.
	It wasn't bullying.
	He died of racism poisoning.
	It's like a brass eye sketch.
	Shot dead by racism.
	But it happened again.
	You can see it.
	It just gets thrown into the narrative.
	No evidence.
	Like George Floyd.
	No evidence.
	Not even alleged at any point.
	Not even by George Floyd's family.
	There was any racial aspect to that.
	And yet everyone in the room was like, black guy killed by racism.
	My heart goes out.
	We go to the next one as well.
	Vox decided to run out of colonists saying what we know.
	They decided to bury the shooting detail.
	Right at the bottom.
	Right at the bottom.
	One of the final paragraphs, I'm like, by the way, this happened.
	I never thought Vox would actually, you know, include that kind of information where the Guardian and other outlets completely omit it.
	Just didn't happen, trust me.
	They write in here, officers said that 40 seconds into the car chase, they heard a gunshot fired from Walker's car.
	Wacky.
	The gunshot, not visible on the police body camera footage, okay, but they did find video from the Ohio Department of Transport camera along the expressway, shared by the police officers, and at a news conference, seemed to show the flash of light that could have been a muzzle flash from the window of Walker's driver's side door, although the images are not very clear.
	What are they going to say?
	Oh, his car backfired.
	Oh, that was what it was.
	It was the exhaust pipe.
	He's got one of those exhausts where, you know, a little fire comes out, except it's on his door, because, um...
	He's got a really fancy car, and that's what it is.
	There's a delay in the frame rate in the camera.
	Also, the gun in his car with the shots fired, he was down at the range before this happened, and the fact that he ran away for no goddamn reason in his ski mask of COVID, sure.
	There's also just the fact that, again, where's the racial aspect to any of this?
	There isn't one.
	Douglas Murray was so right to point this out.
	Every time this happens, we must pause and remember the fact there isn't any, and anyone who says there is or jumps to that is clearly just trying to sell you something.
	They're trying to sell you to go out and burn stuff down.
	Such as politicians.
	The next one, we can see such a politician who decided this is time.
	As you can see here, some verified checkmark.
	Who cares?
	Jay Walker, a black man...
	As if that's relevant.
	Ran from the cops following a traffic violation.
	Just ran.
	Not in his car.
	He wasn't driving and shooting.
	And then ran.
	Nope.
	Just ran.
	He just runs really quickly.
	Just Forrest Gump over there.
	Got shot in the back and died.
	Don't know how that happened.
	Dylan Roof, a white man.
	Look, this is why race is relevant.
	Look, Dylan Roof, a white man, murdered nine people in the church, and the cops got him a Burger King meal.
	I support the Justice in Policing Act, and so should you.
	Black Lives Matter 2, in all caps.
	The fact that they always bring up the Burger King meal thing, even though what they're trying to do in doing that, they do this with all mass killings and stuff, they're trying to get a confession out of someone to make the process of convicting them quicker, which is better for everyone else.
	Yeah, actually, you know, police work.
	For the cost of a Burger King meal.
	Sure, it might not seem just.
	However, there's some very obvious strategy going on there.
	The Burger King meal is irrelevant, obviously, to what happens, which is, why was Dylann Roof not shot?
	Ah.
	He didn't flee.
	Ah.
	There might be some footage of that, mightn't there.
	We've got the next, uh, link here.
	You can see, yeah, yeah, there is.
	We're gonna play it, because, you know, some advice for the BLM martyrs.
	Uh, just, just, just surrender.
	You won't be shot.
	Let's play.
	A few minutes later, police pulled over the black Hyundai, and with guns drawn, approached the car.
	Police say they ordered the driver to put his hands on the wheel, and he complied.
	The man who identified himself as Dylan Roof came out of the car.
	Police frisked him and handcuffed him.
	Roof, who was wearing boots with his pants legs rolled up, was led to a police cruiser where he was searched again and put in the back seat.
	There you have it.
	I mean, no matter how much of a terrible thing an individual does, if they comply with the police, they just get arrested because the police are humans and will take the path of least resistance.
	Well, it's also good policing to take someone alive if you can, because you want to find out if people worked with you, you want the person to confess, you want them to face justice, because a lot of the time, just shooting them in the street is too good for them a lot.
	Particularly someone who kills nine people.
	I mean, come on.
	All these obvious reasons that everyone knows, but for some reason BLM don't.
	There you have it.
	And we'll go to BLM just to end off with their report on the whole situation, which is how did they take it?
	Well, I'm sure they were stuffing money in their blouse whilst writing this, but this is what they wrote.
	As you can see here, they shot him 60 times.
	Sarah shot him 60 times.
	They shot him 60...
	Okay, it...
	We're not all toddlers.
	I know your fans are toddlers, but if you just say the thing often, we don't just believe it as if like, oh, well, that's unjust.
	He was murdered by the police.
	Say his name, Jay Walker.
	You can dry your eyes with a $100 bill.
	First response, he shot the police.
	No one's buying this.
	I do love that even BLM's own supporters turned on BLM. We don't necessarily know he's a Black Lives Matter supporter, but plenty of other supporters certainly did.
	I saw them the other day, they tweeted out, we need reparations, and loads of black people in the comments are just like, so when are you giving it to us?
	Like, you're the one with the email.
	That's a good point, yeah.
	I ain't got anything, so...
	Yeah.
	If you go to the next one here, they took a break from posting that, and tweeted this in the middle of all this for no reason.
	All roads lead to black women.
	Black women are everything, and we owe them the world.
	Black women?
	Now Rome?
	Yeah.
	The new Rome, black women.
	Fourth Rome, actually.
	Beyond Moscow.
	I just also...
	This is in the middle.
	I'm not making this up.
	They tweeted about our new martyr has been killed and took a break just to be like, black women.
	Okay.
	Weirdo.
	Pornhub is over there.
	Don't use the Twitter account for that.
	If you go to the next one here, you can see there's also they decided to, after finishing off, decided to carry on tweeting.
	Jay Walker should be here.
	His life mattered to his family and his community.
	Not himself.
	Obviously.
	Or he wouldn't have done what he'd done.
	Obviously.
	We mourn.
	You never knew him, so how can you?
	As the Walker family mourns.
	Do they?
	And support their efforts to find accountability and transparency for the extrajudicial murder of their loved one.
	I mean, I don't think anyone's pointed out how distasteful that phrase is.
	We mourn as the Walker family mourns.
	They didn't even know him.
	You don't know them.
	You haven't spoken to them.
	Yeah.
	None of you have ever met.
	You don't know how they're mourning.
	They might tell a lot of jokes instead.
	They might be like Ricky Gervais's family.
	Maybe they hated him for all we know.
	Maybe they're glad.
	Yeah, he's a bellend.
	Shot on my dad, he's a cop.
	You have no idea.
	How do I stand on another grave and try to get money out of it?
	Also, no, just 300 likes.
	How many followers does a Black Lives Matter account got?
	That is actually surprisingly positive, isn't it?
	John, I wonder if you could hover over just the account for a second.
	I don't actually know.
	How many have they got?
	Is that a million?
	A million.
	A million followers.
	300 like a ruse.
	That's been up for what?
	About six days?
	300 likes.
	Well...
	Come on.
	Everyone knows what they are now.
	Let's go to the last one here.
	We can just see one more from them who decided to also tweet out.
	Black people continue to be killed by the police with alarming regularity.
	Yeah.
	Stop breaking the law, no.
	And with a persistent lack of accountability.
	Yeah, they do.
	Sorry, but...
	George Floyd.
	Remember that?
	Remember the narrative is that, you know, he was killed by the police officer.
	And within, what was that, a week?
	That guy was in the county jail awaiting his trial.
	Within a year, he was sentenced to three counts of murder.
	Which...
	Serving 20 years, isn't he?
	Yeah.
	Not to mention, everyone else was arrested, involved, and also was being charged with complicity, to whatever that was, which, you know, the evidence doesn't say so, but whatever.
	I can't get over it.
	There's no accountability.
	Literally, you put a man in jail for the rest of his life on the basis that, you know, trust me, he was murdered.
	The George Floyd guy.
	Anyway.
	They continue, we must dismantle the system that has stolen the lives and joy from black people.
	That kind of phrasing, you're stealing joy.
	These abstract concepts.
	Just, you know, Jay Walker, as he was driving, Oh, I love my job.
	It's the only way he can get joy.
	Can't, you know, get a job or help his son or family.
	No, he gets joy from shooting the police.
	How dare you steal that joy from him?
	The whole thing cracks me up.
	Since founding the country.
	Hashtag Jay Walker.
	Well, there we have it.
	I also love, again, first comment.
	Will you ever speak about Black on Black, right?
	It may even be the police officers engaging in, well, suffering black-on-black crime there as well.
	I don't know.
	But it doesn't matter, because obviously race is not an aspect of this.
	But the people who are trying to make it an aspect of it, they're doing it because they want to sell you something.
	A prison sentence for rioting, on their behalf.
	Which, plenty of the Antifa folks have.
	And presumably, anyone who tries this out will also be joining them.
	But there we have it.
	There's BLM's newest martyr, who I certainly thoroughly enjoyed.
	Oh, John says it's an additional 20 years.
	Well, that...
	Oh, great.
	So, breaking news.
	Violating his rights, as if being accused of killing him wasn't bad enough.
	So Chauvin was sentenced to the rest of his life in jail for a man that died, of reasons that are unclear, and has been given another 20 years because George Floyd's rights to joy as...
	Right to enjoy fentanyl and use fake money as he pleases.
	Maybe that's why you called the pills.
	This is my joy.
	Oh, boy.
	Sorry, I got to laugh because what else are you going to do at this point?
	Cry about these race grifters who are just like, how about you go and burn down the country?
	Why?
	Because this guy shot the cops and then was shot.
	Don't you know that's bad?
	No, he deserves it.
	Let's get the video comments.
	But I can't help but notice we're not hearing from the male engineers.
	I used to be a senior engineer at Amazon, which is notorious for being more demanding than most of the other big tech companies.
	Pre-pandemic, my typical workday would consist of two hours of meetings in the mornings, one hour of interviewing change dates and related activities, a two-hour lunch break, and maybe two hours of actual work done in the afternoon.
	After the pandemic, it wouldn't be weird for me to start work at 10am and be done by 3pm, including lunchtime.
	I have friends in other teams that have very similar experiences, and we all make over 200,000 a year.
	It's ridiculous.
	Well, you ever get the feeling that maybe I should have been an engineer.
	Trust me, I'm an engineer.
	What the hell just happened here?
	Anyway, yeah, okay.
	Well, I guess that's the male engineering experience there, which, I don't know, maybe it's just Amazon because they've just made that much money.
	Just screw it.
	Everyone could just, you know, live that life.
	But, next one.
	Guys, Tony D and Little Joan here with a final video.
	Yeah, I said final.
	I'm sorry, I have to let my gold tier membership lapse.
	Money's tight.
	Story of my life.
	Anyhow, don't fret for us.
	We will be posting the super cuts of the comments we did on my YouTube, Odyssey Bitchute, and Rumble channels where you can still find me and still find stories of me talking about the Pines.
	I hope to be back in October to spook up your Halloween.
	Thanks for all the laughs.
	And thank you for helping me sell my books.
	And I sold so many, thanks to you guys.
	So, hope to see you soon.
	If not, see you in the pines.
	Alright, so number one in the chat, F's for Tony D and Old Joan.
	The Legend of the Pines are eternal, and so is the Legend of Tony D and Old Joan.
	Let's be frank.
	I'm really sad to see you go.
	I really enjoyed your comments, and I really added something to our podcast.
	But anyway, I'm sure you'll be back, as you say, for October.
	But be well, and you and Joan be well as well.
	But otherwise, F's in the chat, boys.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So to build on yesterday, I wasn't trying to say that you can never gain anything from a video game.
	I mean, as Harry said, Guitar Hero inspired him to learn guitar.
	A historically sad game might make you want to learn real history.
	I use multiplayer games to stay in touch with my brothers because I live 1200 miles away.
	And if nothing else, pleasures do have their place in life.
	My point was more that if you're someone who feels like your life is empty, in-game accomplishments will not bring you lasting happiness, even though they're engineered to feel like they will.
	That's a very good point.
	I do believe that Depending on the game itself, it can have lots of benefits, and I've actually looked at the psychological research on this because I was just curious, playing video games myself, and there are plenty of examples of people who play first-person shooters have better visuospatial awareness, or people that play RPG games have better long-term planning skills.
	I mean, these are tangible scientific effects.
	Why are you making that face?
	Because do they happen before playing the games or after these studies?
	Because I'm wondering whether or not the games might just attract those kinds of people.
	Well, they control for that part in the experiments.
	Because, of course, that's something that's fairly obvious that you would want to avoid.
	It seems Hoy 4 is making everyone autistic.
	It's like, no, no.
	It's just everyone autistic plays that.
	But no, um...
	If you play them all the time and rely on them as a crutch for fulfilment then that's bad but if you use them to unwind and are selective in the kind of thing you choose if you pick things that are beneficial to you it can be nothing but good in my opinion.
	I hate to be the, you know, me and the boys meme, but it totally is true as well, him mentioning that him and the boys stay in contact by playing video games, whereas just from, you know, ex-girlfriends I've had and seeing them, they just call each other.
	They just, like, sit on the floor and just chat.
	It's far more relaxing to sit down for, like, three or four hours.
	You don't feel compelled to...
	Just get all the information out.
	You can just sit down, play some games, normally play with my old school friends.
	We play things like Warzone, where you're actually having to work together as a team as well.
	It's good fun.
	Some of the best laughs I've had in years have been playing games with my friends.
	You've got something to say when you've got to talk to people and that's it, right?
	When you're playing Payday 2 with me and the boys, you don't even have to have any news.
	Just be like, alright boys, let's go!
	Yeah, exactly.
	Jump in.
	Go to the next one.
	So to be fair, I'd like to also add my experiences with the engineers within the big tech space as well.
	What's happening is that they tend to be very pigeonholed into this one little area of the company that they're involved in because they're usually just a little cog in the big machine that's involved in all that.
	But at least not to worry about scandals with them because all the scandals of sexual harassment and so on and so forth and all that is usually with marketing because...
	You should go to parties that involve a lot of alcohol.
	And, well, things go badly because of that.
	Yeah, that's true.
	What was it?
	John made a point the other day that's kind of probably the case as well with some of these circumstances.
	So you see these, like, you know, 20-year-old women who come out of university and are suddenly in this really well-paid job to do bugger all.
	And then every night, everyone goes out and drinks.
	And the senior execs are there and hanging out with the 20-year-old women.
	It's like, hmm.
	Seems like a situation destined to go badly, really, doesn't it?
	Well, it goes well for someone, but it seriously just kind of looks like a...
	I mean, it's all legal, and it's, you know, concerning parties and all that, but you can see it's definitely, they're not being paid because of their skills.
	Well, those skills, anyway.
	Let's get to the next one.
	This is awesome.
	Love it.
	People listening are watching R2-D2 and the Mechanator over here fight.
	Love that.
	Yeah, love that.
	That's wholesome as hell.
	Wonderful.
	How much is the R2D tool as well?
	I wonder how much it is to actually just get one that works for that.
	Go to the next one.
	Alright, so, quick question.
	As an American who doesn't really, you know, know many of the British members of Parliament, why don't you guys just run for Parliament again?
	Like, I'm just saying...
	All the other members of the parliament seem like they're all cucks.
	And like, I think you guys need to run to this place.
	This sounds like a good idea.
	I mean, I'd vote for you, but you know.
	Look, I've thought about this a lot, but it's a real problem with our system, because if you want to become a candidate in the United States, just as a point of comparison, and you're a right-winger, you join the Republican Party, you run the primaries, you'll probably get a position, if you're good.
	I mean, it's not that hard.
	Then we'll be like, but you said that Islam isn't perfect?
	Sorry, buddy.
	Whereas with the Conservatives here, it's far more controlled speech.
	If you say anything, that might cause the slightest bit of...
	But they might think we're right-wing.
	They all get itchy about it, which is painful.
	But then, okay, fine.
	Screw them.
	You just run in your own party.
	Good luck.
	Number one, if you want to set up a party and run on a national scale to actually do something, okay, that's one thing you might have in mind.
	As Gerard Batten used to tell me every five minutes, you need 20 million...
	And that's easy to come by, sure.
	And then loads of candidates to run in all their seats, and they have to live in those areas all across the country in the constituencies, so okay, that might be off the table.
	And you think, okay, I'll just run in my constituency.
	Yeah, you can do that.
	You've got to pay 500 quid, you run, and then you've got to become the first candidate with the most votes in your constituency, which, when you don't have a party, and it's just you, and maybe a couple of mates...
	And a lot of people are setting their ways on who they're voting for, or they might even just say, I'm voting for Boris, even though that's not how that works.
	But that's what they're doing.
	Yeah, it's tough.
	It's a real tough gambit and can seem like a lot of a waste of money and time.
	So I don't envy people, or sorry, begrudge people for not doing it.
	I can see there are very good reasons to not do it.
	100% agree.
	However, we do have to do something eventually.
	So, yeah, maybe.
	To be honest, another Southwest tour, so it would just be fun.
	But I don't know if I can convince Carl or his wife to do that again.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Just wishing John the best on whatever pursuits he might take in the coming days.
	He truly was one of the best of the Lotus Posse.
	But I can't help but wonder if this is the work of that slippery Scottish snake, Leo.
	Alright, well there we have it.
	There's a deep lore now, I guess.
	I love the images.
	Let's go to the next one.
	He's still going to be doing some videos with us, so it's not like he's going away permanently.
	He's just not going to be on the podcast.
	After the Lotus Eaters book club on rationalism in politics, I moved on to another Oakshot essay, Political Education.
	In it he describes how a good political education recognizes traditions and established patterns of behavior.
	Policy cannot be formed without a knowledge of how people attend to their own arrangements within society.
	Just like knowledge of cookery comes before writing a cookbook, and exposure to language comes before spelling and grammatical rules, so too politics requires a functioning society.
	The folly of ideologies is laid bare as they snapshot a simplification and try to apply it in all circumstances.
	Yep, can be true.
	If you're just like, yes, socialism will work this time.
	Good luck, buddy.
	I haven't got one question, Alex.
	What do you do for a living?
	Because you bash out these book reviews like they're nothing.
	Which, like, it's deeply impressive.
	Maybe he reviews books?
	Maybe.
	He's doubling up.
	This is daytime.
	Otherwise, yeah, fair points.
	Good night, Tom.
	All right, well, we were just driving down the highway and then I spotted this Sherman tank sitting here.
	So I asked if we could pull over so I could get some shots of it.
	Well, it's been two days of driving and 22 hours of sitting in the car, but I finally made it to Saskatchewan to meet up with my family and my relatives.
	And yeah, it's good to be out of the car and walking about.
	22 hours of driving.
	It's America.
	They always drive.
	I mean, it seems mad to us.
	That would take us to Scotland and maybe back a little bit as well.
	I get irritated having to take, like, a train to my parents.
	Never mind 22 hours of driving.
	Yeah, three hours on the train has got me grumpy, pretty much.
	All right, well, at least you go to see a Sherman.
	That's always a nice treat.
	Good.
	See you next time.
	Hello.
	Today I'm making keto sushi with bacon, zucchini, cream cheese, and avocado.
	Just fry your bacon up, make sure it's not too crispy.
	In fact, it should be rather limp, actually.
	Wrap all your ingredients up and stick a toothpick through it.
	You can dip it in soy sauce if you want, but they're fine on their own.
	Tasty, tasty.
	Goodbye.
	The toothpick, that doesn't seem sushi kosher.
	That makes it nibble, surely.
	You know when you go to a party and there's loads of toothpicks, little bits of meat.
	I think nibbles is a very British thing, though, isn't it?
	It's a British concept of, that's not like a dish, that's just nibbles.
	Yeah, but that's the thing, that's what it is, looking at it.
	And also, I can't imagine going to a Japanese restaurant and they're like, here, try our sushi nibbles.
	No, but wrapping anything in bacon makes it good, in my opinion.
	If you could get it to stick, I mean, there must be some kind of sauce, like a reduction or something that would stick at the top, and then it could look perfect as well.
	Maybe if you melted the cheese a little bit.
	Maybe.
	Is it zucchini?
	I think that's cheese, isn't it?
	I don't know.
	Pretty sure it's vegetable.
	Oh, yeah.
	Anyway, but give us updates on your cooking, and I want to...
	As you were doing it, I was thinking, you know what, that's actually a great idea, because that's one of the great things about sushi.
	It just looks fantastic compared to any other type of food, frankly.
	It does have the best presentation out of any food.
	Yeah, but that makes it tastier.
	It's a real thing.
	In which case, if you could do that with more food, that's a good idea.
	I also find it's easier not to overeat, because you just have these little pre-packaged mouthfuls.
	Yeah, but the Nibbles cocktail sticks are, you know, I don't know.
	It kind of kills the presentation for me.
	Sorry, you just perked my interest.
	I think it's a great idea what you're doing.
	It's good to get written comments on the site.
	So, Maureen Peters says, The police fired on the tractor, in Dutch name, near my home.
	This happened when the farmers tried to pass a blockade to reach the motorway.
	According to some of our news outlets, the 16-year-old driver tried to run the policemen and their vehicles over, which made the police feel threatened.
	That's absolutely what we saw on that video clip, perhaps.
	Yeah.
	100%.
	I don't know how you say this, but it looks like Joker.
	Yooka, the driver, and two others were arrested for attempted manslaughter, although this was later changed to detained in the hectic situation on site.
	That seems like a crime to me.
	Dutch law, apparently written very strangely.
	You've been obtained for hectic situations.
	At least one of them, Jukka, was being held in detention centre in Leidvorden and is in walking distance from my home.
	We'll go and break him out.
	No, don't do that.
	His mother was not allowed to see or speak to him.
	All three of them were released yesterday due to lack of evidence.
	Surprise, surprise.
	Probably because they got the footage and went, we're not playing that.
	So, lack of evidence, release him before he sues.
	So, Maureen Peters again says, Oh, great.
	Yeah, for asylum seekers to...
	That's more important.
	Don't worry about the food.
	It's not like most of Europe kind of relies on them for a bit of that, but...
	General High Ping says, I'm just wondering what the UK's version of the Canadian truckers and Dutch farmers will be since the World Economic Forum treads tendrils stretch everywhere at this point.
	North of sea rising, I suppose.
	Whoa.
	So...
	British politics is very polite and organised.
	I'm talking English and Scottish and Welsh politics, not BLM. Until it's not, and then we get some lovely riots, and that's usually how it goes, at least from looking at history of what our responses have been.
	I think we might get some farmers' protests ourselves because if we're sticking to Boris's eco plan, which obviously we don't know because he's now gone, but that would have meant that farmers would have had to cut lots of their profits to meet these arbitrary eco targets that seem pretty imposed on them.
	Although John is telling us, apparently we have had a trucker's protest on the M4 on Monday.
	That was true, I saw that.
	Police gave them ASBOs, which is a ridiculous thing we do here.
	Antisocial behaviour order.
	Yeah, it just sounds silly on the face of it, though, doesn't it?
	You're being antisocial.
	Oh, no.
	Anyway, and invalidated their insurance, six points on their licence, and will lose their job.
	So there we are.
	That's...
	Yeah, so they'll lose their job because, as John's saying, it's not really worth having someone with six points on the license.
	So check out Summit Sideways if you don't know about that.
	But we've had some of that, but not a huge amount.
	Although, if we have a huge amount, they won't be able to give six points to everyone.
	They've already got a trucker shortage, so what are they going to do?
	Fire them all?
	Hint, hint.
	Anyway, George Happ, the Dutch farmers are heroes.
	The moment a government stops defending your private property, and that includes your body, it becomes tyranny.
	We had a full demonstration of that during the lockdowns.
	100%.
	100%.
	Don't know why I can disagree.
	Northern Knight?
	Is that meant to be North Antonian Knight, but he's changed it.
	I think that Italian farmers are also protesting, whether in solidarity with the Dutch or for something else, I'm not sure.
	Well, they're Italian, so...
	They're always pretty unhappy with stuff.
	It's the French, really, isn't it?
	The Italians, too.
	I have seen that footage as well.
	I saw some in Germany, some in Poland, and some in Italy, but I don't know to what extent that's the place, because people do this thing where, like, you know, ten guys get together in Germany, and they're like, look, the Germans have joined us, and it's like, yeah, not yet.
	You need a bit more than that, but I suppose we'll see.
	Let's move on to Bojo, going.
	Sure.
	So, Colin Parker with Boris Garn.
	Is there any chance of actual Conservative government?
	Absolutely not.
	If anything, it's probably going to get worse, if that's even possible.
	You're so full of joy.
	I know.
	I speak my mind.
	I'm not going to tell you.
	Yes, it's going to be great.
	It's going to be lovely.
	I mean, there are a couple of candidates that poked my interest, because I saw the rumours that Kemi Badenog was looking at it.
	I'm like, this could be interesting.
	I mean, it might be a complete failure, but it could be interesting.
	She has nailed her colours to the mass on being like, you know, critical race is cancer, BLM of cancer, and she can do it too, very well, because she's got the knowledge.
	I've seen a few polls that Steve Baker, the Brexiteer, and he's pushed back a lot on the eco stuff of Boris as well.
	He might be running...
	He's a very political type, though.
	He'll throw his ideology out if he needs to, which is why he endorsed BLM for five minutes.
	I messaged someone on...
	I don't know.
	That's probably fine.
	I messaged someone on Kemi's team and asked them, and they said probably not.
	So, oh well.
	But...
	Bold Eagle, 1787.
	Hopefully Boris resigning will cause the people of Britain to wake up and actually start vetting the people running for office.
	The problem is the West has a massive uniparty that controls all the governments right now, but the mask has fallen off and the governments are losing control.
	Hopefully nations take back their identity and destroy bureaucratic institutions everywhere.
	The fall of the EU will be the greatest victory we can hope for.
	Hear, hear.
	I very much agree.
	Edward of Woodstock, the most insufferable thing about the resignation of Boris Johnson is the leftist moralising.
	Nish Kumar also posted some path about, oh, we need to address the flaws in our system that allowed a man like him to become Prime Minister.
	We need to address the flaws in society that allow Nish Kumar to be anybody.
	That's not what he said, that was what I said.
	Defund the BBC. That's literally how he lives.
	You mean politics?
	Politics, does that to any who aren't utterly principled?
	And if you think the Labour Party is any better because they happen to sing your tune, then you're just another dupe.
	Sure, Bojo is a liar and a scumbag, but at least he's not a war criminal, unlike the last Labour Prime Minister to be elected.
	You've seen Alistair Campbell trotting around.
	I did.
	It was insufferable.
	Don't you know he was a liar?
	It's just every time he does it, someone just turns around and goes, WMDs!
	Transparent.
	You just need to turn to him, look him dead in the eyes, Iraq.
	Painful.
	The man should be tried by The Hague, personally.
	That's what I think.
	But there we go.
	Do you want to move on to some of your comments?
	Sure.
	BLM needs some new mansions.
	Great isle.
	The Elvis says, Damn, those cops missed 30 times.
	Yeah, needs some better training.
	Catastrophic regression threshold says, Amazing how an unarmed man managed to shoot at the cops.
	So strange.
	What do we shoot them at with?
	Exactly.
	He's peeing at them.
	Presumably.
	My rifle is my gun.
	Michael something says, six police officers mag dump their 15 round magazines at the suspect.
	Isn't excessive force?
	No, it's not in the circumstances.
	I mean, this is the same thing with the SAS, which is you think you're going to die.
	The guy has a weapon or you believe he has a weapon.
	The right thing to do is just to keep firing until they stop moving.
	Normally, corpses don't complain about being shot, so there is that.
	Yeah, it's the same with the SAS. They just empty the mag and then move on.
	You can get a hostage situation where you try and go for just the head, but if you think you're going to die...
	So, best way to deal with it.
	Bleach Demon says, so the Dutch farmers drive slowly away, cops negligently discharges a firearm, and the farmers are the criminals of the state.
	Jay Walker mag dumps at the cops, runs, and gets taken down, yet hears the glorious second coming of St.
	Floyd.
	What a time it is in the 21st century, so enlightened, munches on the boogs.
	Justice for Floyd's joy.
	The hero we needed.
	Anyway, we're out of time, but if you want more from us, lowseers.com.
	Otherwise, we'll be back.
	3.30, UK time.
	Carl and Thomas debating Nietzsche.
	Otherwise, bye-bye.
