	Hello and welcome to the podcast alert seaters for the 27th of July 2022.
	I'm joined by Carl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about Meanwhile in Portland, the Bad Man's Hope Not Hate documentary, and you're already eating the bugs.
	You are.
	I'm not happy about that news.
	Klaus Schwab has already won.
	Well anyway, I suppose we'll start with Portland.
	Yeah, so we haven't checked in with Portland for a while, so I thought we would, because it's been a couple of years since anything very newsworthy has happened there, because what has happened in Portland is that all of the terrible things that in 2018 to 2020, people are like, oh my god, what's going on in Portland?
	Well, they became just the norm, and so I thought we'd check in and see what the norm looks like in Portland now.
	But before we do, if you want to support us, you can go to thelotuses.com and check out my latest deepthink, Russo Savage.
	And this is very relevant to the question of Portland, because this is what the mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, he is still the mayor of Portland, is trying to achieve in Portland, so that no one is dependent on one another while still living in a society.
	There's a lot more to it, but I'm not going to spoil it.
	It's really worth your time.
	I put a lot of effort into it.
	But anyway, we're also still looking to hire presenters, so if you think you would be good at this job, if you have a particular sphere of expertise, do go to lotuses.com slash careers and check out the job description and send us an email.
	Anyway, things are going well in Portland since the George Floyd riots, says the mayor of Portland.
	you You may remember that despite not being anywhere near where George Floyd died...
	He was killed.
	I mean, what by is it?
	Yeah, George Floyd was killed, that's true.
	But anyway, so there's massive amounts of violent crime, which are the First of many problems that Portland has, a report was recently produced about the violent crime in Portland, and this is what Fox have to say about it.
	This report confirms the unfortunate reality of what we already knew, that gun violence is on the rise in Portland, is being driven by a very small percentage of our population, says Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.
	In a statement following the release of this data.
	So the researchers for the California Partnership for Safe Communities compiled crime data from the city, specifically examining homicides and non-fatal shootings from 2019 to 2021.
	And they found 144% increase in homicides in that two-year period.
	Well, a year and a half period.
	Non-fatal shootings increased by 241%.
	So, brilliant.
	It's just so progressive.
	I mean, this is what left-wing ideology does to your city.
	We'll get to that.
	That's exactly why we're covering this.
	So, like, this is, of course, a massive increase.
	So in 2019, it began ticking up with 36 homicides that year compared to 26 in 2018, which is bad.
	But that average was soon obliterated, the data shows.
	2020 notched a 58% increase in that, and then 2021 was a 238% increase.
	So, right.
	And also, at least one of those was politically motivated.
	At least one of them.
	If you remember, for people who don't know, an Antifa guy who said, I'm 100% Antifa, waited for a guy in a MAGA hat around the corner, walked out, shot him, killed him, and then died in a shootout with the police because he was so innocent.
	That is after a nice puff piece by Vice News.
	Anyway, so what's the problem?
	Well, the problem is, of course, gang violence is through the roof.
	It does seem to be that it's not regular, average Portlanders who are just like, you know what?
	I am absolutely sick of this!
	We do live in a society!
	It's not that, weirdly enough, right?
	So, when you go through the data and filter of killings from gun violence, it shows more than half of the fatal shootings involved gang or group members, they're called.
	So gangs, pejorative term, not very progressive.
	You don't want to stigmatize these murderous groups of people.
	So they're just group members now.
	What kind of groups?
	Well, gangs, but you know.
	Crips?
	So the study defined groups loosely as a variety of subset of gangs and crews active in Portland and Oregon.
	But they didn't name them for some reason.
	Like my congresspeople are a crew.
	Yes, and this has exploded since the George Floyd protests, where they got 100 consecutive nights of protests and riots in summer of 2020, businesses burned and looted, an autonomous zone established, and millions of damage to various buildings, and millions more in lost income from people who operate.
	But anyway, Ted Wheeler, of course, apologized to those protesters at the time, as the autonomous zone was dismantled, because people getting shot in it.
	You remember Ted Wheeler, the guy who tried to integrate himself into Antifa in 2018 and got told to piss off Fed and then got his block of flats attacked and set on fire by the people he was trying to integrate himself into.
	And when he had to take this down, he has to then go and apologize to those same people.
	Amazing governance.
	So anyway, the violence we'll get back to in a minute.
	Let's talk about the homeless camps because there's some violence coming out of these as well, just in case you didn't know.
	Homeless camps are proliferating in Portland to the point where they've come to the lawns of residential neighbourhoods.
	At least one homeless camp has been charging rent as well.
	$200 a month to live in a homeless camp.
	What the hell's a homeless camp?
	A camp of homeless people.
	But like, set up by them or set up by the state?
	I don't understand.
	Well, that's a great question, actually.
	But you can see that now this is affecting the middle classes.
	You voted for this.
	You.
	I'm not going to insult them.
	No, but they did have an election for Ted.
	They've had multiple elections for Ted.
	One of the other alternatives was a Maoist, and a bunch of them voted for her too.
	Yes.
	So you either get the communist or the ultra-communist, and this is a quote, I just want to cry, I just want my house back, my lawn is now becoming a public bathroom.
	Hartlett says there are grown men meth raging in the neighbourhood's driveways.
	You voted for it.
	Meth raging?
	Yeah.
	Unless you voted for Trump, you voted for this.
	But you get these homeless pod villages springing up now, which is wild.
	Poland, the city's local government, if you can go to the next one, has assembled these pod villages so people can go somewhere to enjoy their drugs.
	Sorry, there's a port-a-loose for drugs.
	Yes.
	And for homeless people.
	So they go live in these.
	There's been a high demand for these services because of people experiencing homelessness.
	And then someone started making mobile pods for the homeless.
	Go to the next one, John.
	There are these mobile pods that have wheels on them.
	Six foot by eight foot pods with wheels that have been turning up with homeless people, of course.
	And no one knows where they were coming from.
	And so this local newspaper investigated and they found that they spoke to some of the people in the pods, some of whom are friendly, some of whom are not.
	But there's a chap with a website and a phone number, but they didn't give his information.
	But he's apparently prefabricating the structures elsewhere.
	Then he builds it on site for people living on the streets.
	Who the hell is this?
	Building little mobile, like, homeless chariot pods.
	Okay, weird.
	But needless to say, you know, locals aren't happy.
	Some homeowners, a homeowner called Larry Smith, said a woman came out of the pod screaming at him when passing by as he was out for a walk.
	I wouldn't go out for a walk in Portland these days.
	Jesus.
	One of our neighbours has photos looking in because the structures have windows and have drug paraphernalia straight up inside the structure.
	Just like tinfoil drug paraphernalia.
	These are people that are really in need of a lot of help.
	Clearly.
	Probably need to be given.
	I'm not going to make jokes.
	It's not funny.
	City officials, right?
	Exactly.
	I'm just saying the Taliban are actually right about heroin addicts.
	No, I mean, Nick said this.
	I mean, we've had him on.
	He works at a homeless charity in Manchester.
	Well, he didn't endorse the Taliban, but...
	I'm not endorsing the Taliban.
	He made the big point, which is if you want to solve homelessness, I mean, the real problem, especially in the West, is drug taking.
	I mean, it's the difference between someone who's begging and begging for the fact they can't.
	Get work because they're on drugs or because they're actually homeless.
	And those camps are wildly different.
	Well, in Portland, the progressive view is that the problem with the drug addicts is they don't have enough drugs.
	Give them drugs, a place to do their drugs, and then world more gooder for some reason.
	But let's watch this first clip, see what the people in it like.
	And again, I think all these people probably voted left wing right up until today.
	I'm living in a nightmare neighborhood.
	It's really scary.
	For years, these neighbors have been watching the city's homeless crisis spread across parts of southeast Portland.
	Now, it's right outside their front door.
	I want to cry.
	I just want my house back.
	Christina Hartnett lives on 80th and Powell, where a majority of the campers stay.
	My lawn is now becoming a public bathroom.
	She fears leaving her house just to go to work.
	And it is scary when you have grown men meth raging in your driveway.
	The last thing I feel safe doing is going out and saying, hey, can you please move so I can go to work?
	Calling the police in city is an everyday chore with little reward.
	So far, no one has come to help us.
	Central City Concern Clean Start crews assessed this site Thursday.
	It was one of about 1,900 other campsites reported just this week.
	In the past 10 days, they found 272 encampments that pose a greater health and safety risk, which is why they haven't removed the camps in this neighborhood.
	But just getting the city to come out and assess it has been a full-time job.
	I have to report from like four different Four different bureaus, and I have to report that report to a report, and then I have to report that report to a second report, and it's the only way to get any kind of traction.
	I feel like nobody hears us.
	Nobody cares about us.
	This mother didn't want to be identified on camera, afraid of retaliation from those living on the streets.
	She rarely lets her children outside to play.
	It's very sad.
	Because they're just kids so they want to play.
	I don't know where they're coming from.
	Tess has lived in this neighborhood for 35 years.
	These boards now cover her front door windows after they were smashed by those living on the streets.
	She also installed security cameras around her house.
	Scared.
	Most of all scared because I don't know what they're gonna go next.
	It's also affecting a nearby restaurant.
	It unnerves our customers when they pull in and they see people overdosing on the sidewalks out in front of our restaurant.
	It is going to take one of us getting severely hurt or killed before they will do anything to come help us.
	Meanwhile, please come help me.
	Does our city do something about it?
	Are they doing something about these people that need some help?
	This never-ending cry for help continues.
	Okay, but that is the point.
	It's just delusion about, well, the people in charge are the one who have caused this situation.
	I mean, by their own ideological standards, they're happy to see this happen.
	And you know that come the next election, they're going to vote Democrat.
	Yeah, I mean, the people in that report, you know, I almost feel sorry for, but I do sit there and sort of think, I want to see your voting record.
	Yeah, you vote for this.
	I'm absolutely sure every single one of those people are like, oh, I'm never going to vote Republican.
	They're evil.
	It's good to see Andy got out in time, at least.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, I mean, Andy's in physical danger.
	But anyway, if we can get to the next one, this is a great clip.
	Just cyclists out for a bike ride.
	Look at all this.
	Just look at this.
	Half a mile of just...
	First world country.
	Allegedly.
	Allegedly.
	A bit accused of being a first world country.
	There's no evidence of that.
	Well, not important.
	But again, all the middle class do-gooders who are like, oh, we just need to be kind and compassionate to all of these criminals and drug dealers.
	It's like, oh no, now it's arrived on your front lawn.
	It's like, yes.
	We should defund the police.
	Exactly.
	Maybe those guys downtown are trying to burn down a skyscraper.
	There's the courthouse, the good guys.
	This doesn't just stay in the ghettos.
	It actually expands the ghettos to your back garden.
	Anyway, so things are getting worse.
	I mean, Starbucks is like, yeah, I think we're out of here, actually.
	We're leaving.
	Wait, what?
	They just left Portland?
	Yes.
	In two locations in Portland, but 16 locations across various Democrat-run states.
	They say, quote, we are focused on investing in safe store experiences and empowering our local leaders to put safety first.
	Over the last year, we have seen a dramatic increase in in-store incidents that do not uphold the standards of the Starbucks experience for our partners or our customers.
	That's a very polite way of putting it.
	Anyone who has seen the footage from the Portland riots and the George Floyd riots knows that Andy Farb would go out of their way to try and burn down and target Starbucks as a symbol of capitalism.
	As if Starbucks isn't an openly woke company.
	As well, which is hilarious.
	You get what you deserve.
	They're not burning down Chick-fil-A, are they?
	No, Chick-fil-A doesn't have to deal with this, but it was funny because you also saw just the extremities.
	It would be like a Starbucks, and they're like a block of flats, or maybe, you know, 20 families above the Starbucks.
	And if I would just set fire to it, I'd be like, yeah, fire doesn't rise.
	Yeah, no problems here.
	So why are they closing?
	Well, one local news outlet went and spent some time in there.
	So it turns out in Portland, only two of their various stores are closing.
	But they're too in specific places.
	And that implies that the bigger the ghettos grow, the more Starbucks will simply have to close, right?
	But listen, listen to what they have to say about it, right?
	So Starbucks wrote to employees in a July 11th public letter.
	They say, quote, You're also seeing firsthand the challenges facing our communities.
	Personal safety, racism, the lack of access to healthcare, a growing mental health crisis, rising drug use, and more.
	Oh.
	These are reports that have been filed to Starbucks HQ from employees.
	What?
	So we have all these homeless guys turning up.
	And a lot of racism.
	They keep telling us they wouldn't be homeless if it wasn't for racism, presumably.
	But Jason Renard, a board member for the Mental Health Association of Portland, clearly someone who's doing a brilliant job, he is not impressed by Starbucks.
	He says this, blaming people with mental troubles is asinine.
	He's literally taking a dump on my store's floor.
	Don't blame him.
	He's meth raging over there.
	Calm down.
	There may be people causing troubles, but blaming them for your business failure, that's not real.
	You should just offer such great deals that people are willing to put up with this crap.
	Like, Starbucks isn't a failing business model.
	The problem is the community around it can't support it because it's toxic as hell.
	Could you imagine, like, you know, the president of the Congo saying this to you?
	You're like, well, I know the country's in constant civil war, but that's your business failure.
	Exactly.
	Why doesn't your business model account for this?
	But Renald also acknowledges that such blame is increasingly common.
	Everyone's saying it!
	I mean, he literally says pretty much everyone who sits by a door in the metro area is having this conversation.
	But the problem is Starbucks.
	And I love in this article, Starbucks' decision as to which shops to close remains mysterious.
	Who could know why they closed this one and not this other one?
	Break out the X-Files music.
	Yeah.
	Who knows?
	Mysteries of unsolved mysteries, huh?
	Anyway, let's get back to the racism, shall we?
	Because that's a problem in Portland.
	As you'll see from this article, where Portlanders of colour are still being over-represented in traffic stops.
	I wonder what that might be.
	Being stopped in traffic is the most common way most people come in contact with the police, but we still don't experience all those stops equally.
	No, it's people who are committing crimes.
	We're not equal.
	Never will be.
	You're not even equal to yourself on a different day.
	In Portland, people of colour are over-represented in traffic stops, with black people experiencing the most drastic effects of this bias.
	It's just a bias.
	Hey, there's a black.
	Quick, I'm going to pull him over.
	He's driving the speed limit.
	Do you know why I pulled you over, sir?
	Oh, God, it's the Portland PD. Sorry!
	There's so much footage of them just executing black men.
	If this was in Los Angeles, I might have a different opinion.
	But it's just ridiculous, right?
	And of course, this is...
	You're the guys that killed George Floyd, right?
	The thing is, right, they say here, and this is more than an inconvenience, black people across the country have been killed by cops using lethal force during otherwise routine traffic stops.
	It's like, right, but why would they be needing to use lethal force?
	Like, why?
	Pulled you over, say, yeah, well, that's it.
	You're black.
	Like, no.
	It just taps on the window.
	Window goes down.
	Oh, no.
	Exactly.
	Like, there's no connection here, right?
	But anyway, so why are people being killed on the deadliest block?
	In Portland, this is what the Oregonian asks.
	Now, they're behind a paywall, so I didn't get to read this, but I'm going to guess they're not going to come to a sane conclusion.
	There's a clip, though, from a local news outlet that we can watch that I think is worth our time.
	Let's play this.
	Wes, the city just got some new data and that's helping to drive the response here?
	It is, that's right.
	So their plan is built upon these new research findings.
	So it found that just over half of Portland's gun violence is group member involved.
	200 people are responsible for the vast majority of the city's gun violence.
	The largest age group is 25 to 34.
	Although African-American men make up just 5.9% of Portland's population, they comprise 47% of shooting victims and suspects.
	And Portland's rate of gun violence has increased faster than many of our peer cities.
	Wheeler says that part of their efforts will be to reach out to these people who are most likely to commit or become a victim of gun violence and work to help them develop a safer lifestyle.
	So despite...
	I mean, it's literally the stat.
	It seems to be an immutable law of nature.
	It's such a good thing, though, to always remind people.
	That's all it takes.
	200 people to completely ruin a place.
	And that's not a large amount of people to import.
	And possibly the sort of 50 or so in government.
	But I love the solution.
	Well, we're going to try and persuade them to adopt a more healthy lifestyle.
	So good luck with that.
	Just good luck with reasoning on this.
	I'm a drug king, but I could be in McDonald's instead, working 9-5.
	I could be in a Starbucks.
	Anyway, so Portland has announced a state of emergency.
	And ironically, there is a state of emergency due to historic levels of gun violence.
	This is progressive governance.
	That's the problem, not the government itself.
	Florida isn't under any state of emergency.
	Portland is.
	But it's just such, like, topsy-turvy way of thinking.
	It's like, well, we stopped enforcing the law and the violence went up, so that's the emergency?
	It's like, no, the emergency is you're not doing your job.
	Yep.
	In declaring a state of emergency due to the city's historic levels of gun violence, Ted Wheeler said that his goal was to reduce fatal shootings by over 10%.
	It's up by 230%.
	We're going to try and get that to 220%.
	By increasing community-based interventions...
	Right, so they are going to send the community workers out when a shooting spree breaks out.
	Good luck.
	He's also called for a patrol of the deadliest blocks because he's a racist, obviously.
	And the answer, if we go to the next one, we can see is simply to give them money.
	That's her initiative.
	Gripped by gun violence that's affecting cities across the nation.
	Democrat cities.
	The Mayor of Portland issued new emergency declaration with the goal of reducing gun killings by at least 10%.
	The initiative directs $2.4 million to community groups and prevention efforts.
	Oh, that's going to work.
	That's going to work.
	We just put money in the hands of community groups.
	Then that's just going to be problem solved.
	Local activist, here's a bunch of money.
	Stop the gun violence.
	Yeah.
	You what?
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	He says, we will not stop until the gun violence stops.
	So you weren't having a problem with gun violence, like literally five years ago.
	Before you started doing all of this progressive nonsense.
	I just think, that's so strange when it's in living memory and people act like the world they live in.
	In living memory?
	It's like...
	But I mean, like, in sort of...
	Not even just...
	I may remember that from my childhood, but...
	Yeah, I remember that a couple of years ago.
	Kind of living memory.
	Within his governance...
	Term of governance...
	Yeah, but my friend moved here recently and still remembers it wasn't like this.
	And then people still pretend as if the current world is all there's ever been.
	It's mental, isn't it?
	But anyway, so the question, of course, becomes, should progressive reforms take the blame for this?
	The answer is, of course, yes.
	This is the question that the researchers at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law said, and their conclusion was, drumroll, there isn't enough evidence to establish a link between violence and progressive policies.
	Thank God for that.
	Alright, no worries.
	We can just carry on then.
	We don't know.
	No idea.
	There's no case studies.
	It's not like Portland is proof of this.
	We're seeing narratives about crime and public safety being used to roll back gains in the reform movement, largely without evidentiary basis.
	Woman has roid-raging drug addicts on her lawn, consequence of Ted Wheeler's governance.
	No evidence.
	You know exactly who's committing all the gun crime, no evidence.
	Don't know what you're talking about.
	We kept releasing Antifa no matter what they did, just with no charges.
	So then they started bombing stuff instead of just beating people up, and none of that happened.
	What you're implying there is a rollback in the gains in the reform movement.
	The problem is real though.
	The nation's murder rate rose nearly 30% in 2020 alone and of course Portland was an 83% jump in homicides in that one year but of course it got way worse.
	But one of the researchers says it's not a blue state problem.
	The pandemic fuelled crime wave.
	Now this is the pandemic causing this.
	This happened before the pandemic.
	I mean yeah but also but we remember what happened during the pandemic where they started just releasing people from prison.
	Yes.
	In blue cities.
	That works.
	New York City was the funniest one, where some guy, he got, what was it, arrested five times in a day, still out.
	But I love this.
	Right, the crime wave is hitting red and blue states, progressive cities and conservative rural counties.
	That's right, the rural conservatives are going on these mad...
	Shooting sprees, constantly.
	This is where it's happening.
	I mean, there's no evidence that it is.
	But anyway, it's difficult to pinpoint a specific cause, according to their analysis.
	But the evidence points to broad national causes driving rising crime.
	A professor called Chris Campbell, who studied Oregon's criminal justice system extensively, was critical of addressing violent crime with more punitive policies.
	Because one thing we can't have is a punitive policy, right?
	We've never seen it actually work to reduce crime.
	I'm sorry, but for people who know anything, just follow Andy No for the last few years, you'll know every single time some Antifa loon gets caught assaulting someone or is finally arrested, they're taken to the police station and immediately let go.
	I mean, if they were put in jail for 15 years, then they wouldn't be able to commit suicide.
	No, but everyone who does end up with an actual jail sentence, it's usually like 10 years, because they wait until it gets that bad of a crime.
	They'll have been let out three or four times from the police station for a minor crime.
	They'll be bailed out by activist organizations that raise money to bail them out.
	Assuming they even need a bail.
	They might not be even given bail as the point of getting at it.
	The idea that, oh, we can't do anything more punitive.
	They were currently doing literally zero.
	They would get arrested and released the same day, and no charges would be paid against them.
	I mean, just...
	No, I'm not going to make any more jokes about Caliban.
	But he said that, look, unless this is accompanied by significant investments in social services, nothing will get better.
	Stricter gun control laws are one way to address the problem, because that's right.
	These gangs...
	Sorry.
	Groups of people all have their gun licenses.
	Very law-abiding.
	But also, Antifa were literally bombing places with IEDs and Molotov cocktails, which I presume they got a license for.
	Yeah.
	For that IED. Yeah, but the gun control wouldn't control IEDs, of course.
	It would just control the guns the gangs would have, surely.
	The common IED control.
	It's so obvious that they have no idea.
	Yeah.
	And not even they have no idea.
	They have deliberately carved out a section of reality they're not allowed to think about.
	And all they can do is just flat repeat the progressive talking points.
	Despite the fact that reality is showing that these don't work.
	Glad I don't live in Portland, man.
	I went there in 2017.
	It was not nearly as bad as it is now.
	I still kind of laugh because you keep telling me when you went there originally.
	It was lovely.
	Yeah, that's what I hit every goddamn time.
	I was just like, were you high?
	No, it was in 2017.
	Once Upon a Time.
	Five years ago.
	I suppose with that we should move on to another story.
	So, Once Upon a Time with the Bad Man.
	So, I've been meaning to make this segment for a little while because his documentary came out on Hope Not Hate a few days ago, The Bad Man.
	For people who don't know, I suppose we should get on screen just an image here.
	But I don't know if you can load up a bit in a shill here as well, John.
	Just to mention that I'm going to also promote the fact that we have the War on the West book club as well in Lotuses.com.
	And this obviously being relevant to this documentary because, well, as Douglas Murray notes, a lot of the War on the West comes from the people within.
	And that's the focus of The Bad Man's newest expose, which is on some of the people within the West.
	And frankly, this is why Douglas Murray has actually publicly defended the bad man, being like, look, what is wrong with you people?
	Like, what is he proposing?
	Yeah.
	He wants to limit immigration from Muslim countries.
	Like Trump.
	Like, that's not really...
	It's not radical.
	I would expect worse from the worst man in Britain.
	But, like, again, like, mostly it's something terrible has been happening in my communities.
	Could you listen to it?
	And they were like, oh, you're evil.
	Yeah, so that's the narrative that has been for him and his life, which has been just ridiculous, but never mind.
	And we shall move to, obviously, the fact that he has now made his new documentary.
	And previously, for people who don't know, he also did this kind of sting before.
	This one being, the previous sting being on Hope Not Hate as well.
	If you go to the next link here, please, John.
	Then we can see this is in panodrama he released outside the offices of the BBC. Because the BBC were working with an organisation called Hope Not Hate, who are literally a bunch of communists.
	Literally.
	Which is against their own charter.
	Like actually members of the Communist Party in Britain.
	Yeah, and he exposed them there, and it turns out apparently they've continued to try and harass him and destroy his life because they're honest, notable people.
	And if you go to the next link here, you can see the fact that Lucy Brown went undercover and filmed in Panadrama as well, exposing them, working with Hope Not Hate.
	And in immediate response to him exposing this link between the British state and Hope Not Hate, he was banned from all social medias because...
	You know, when Putin does this or Xi Jinping, it's considered some kind of, you know, state suppression.
	But when, literally, the state works with Facebook to just suppress someone they don't like, ah, at least, you know, literally delete him from the internet.
	What's the state media going to do?
	Be like, oh no, I can't believe this oppression that we're participating in is happening.
	Yeah.
	Obviously, the quote here for people who don't know was that they banned him for, quote, a post urging people to terrorise and behead those who follow the Quran.
	I went on LBC to talk about this with Nick Ferrari, and I was just like, well, where's the proof of that?
	It'd be everywhere.
	I see screenshots of this everywhere.
	The man you were speaking to was someone who had a meeting with Facebook six hours before he was banned about Tommy.
	And took responsibility for getting him banned.
	Yeah.
	And when asked, did he make this post?
	Yeah.
	He responded to Nick Ferrari by going, going, well, Nick.
	And then you can see Nick go, oh, so there isn't any.
	And Facebook ended up admitting this as well.
	He never blasphemed against any Muslims with that statement.
	It's just not a case.
	Or he would be in jail because this is Britain.
	And in Denmark, the Facebook group there also just admitted.
	But for people who don't know and might think that...
	Literally, that's the most important part.
	There's no one particular post where we can't say this is the post.
	It's like, well, okay, you did claim that.
	Just read the statement again.
	A post urging people to behead those who follow the Quran.
	You lied.
	That's what this is all about.
	It's not a spelling mistake.
	No.
	You literally gave an interview to the state media about the fact that he did this, we swear, and you didn't.
	Completely made up news.
	And the BBC still haven't corrected that article.
	They do corrections, but they're just never going to.
	That's how it is.
	But this is regime media targeting a political dissident.
	Yeah.
	And if you think I'm being a little hyperbolic about the fact that Hope Not Hate are a bunch of communists, well, time to prove it.
	So, as you can see here, this is an archive of Matthew Collins, who is the head of research for Hope Not Hate.
	And you can see here a bunch of posts that he made for them back in the day.
	He's been scrubbed from the website.
	Don't know why that is.
	Still works for them, my understanding.
	But, well, I think I might know why.
	Because if we go to the next one, we can see he's a member of the Communist Party.
	By his own admission, this is a political light, obviously, as you can see there, a quote from Facebook.
	You think, ah, that might be faked.
	Or, you know, it could be any Matthew Collins.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Saying, my position is the same for the other people in the party I belong to, the Communist Party of Great Britain.
	Could be anyone.
	Except I just looked up his Facebook account back when this became news and screenshotted the posts, just so you can see the years of posting to the Communist Party of Great Britain supporters group here.
	Right.
	Right.
	As you do, other posts from years and years of work, as you can see here.
	Hope not hate.
	The absolute state of theirs.
	Yep, this is advertising.
	You can see Eddie Izzard turning up to, again, another post here, years apart.
	So, yeah, this is him.
	There's no doubt that it's not him, for all things.
	There's also the fact that there are loads of, I don't have time to include it here, but loads of literally communist newspapers.
	They keep mentioning him as a guest speaker, but follow the conversation.
	But back to the film, because the film is obviously the main story.
	No, you can go and watch a full thing, of course, over at Rumble, at his account there, which shall not name or will be shot.
	And we can't show any clips, obviously, because we'll probably get some deep, deep doo-doo with YouTube's editorial guidelines.
	So instead...
	No Tommy!
	Basically, I think we just try and go through some of the allegations made through here and just talk about them, because I'm obviously very annoyed about the fact that he's censored like this.
	It's not good.
	It's just over lies.
	Yeah.
	And speaking of lies, we can actually prove that Hope Not Hate's reputation, we think they're a bunch of communist liars, because they are, but also just in courts, this was also proven.
	British legal precedent, Hope Not Hate, communist liars.
	Yeah, just see here, what is it, it was the Jewish Chronicle who published this story, Hope Not Hate apologizes for wrongly accusing pro-Israel activists of a bookshop attack.
	Your honor, your honor, say Hope Not Hate.
	In my defense, they were Jewish.
	You know, vote Jeremy Corbyn.
	Of course they did.
	They probably do, actually.
	Of course they do.
	They're alleged to have to pay £50,000 to this lady.
	The Communist Party of Britain didn't run any candidates and actively backed Corbyn.
	Yeah.
	So, yes, they vote Corbyn.
	We saw a Jew and they went for it.
	They certainly did and then had to apologise in here in court as well.
	So there you have it.
	Complete joke of an organisation.
	But endless influence it seems within the BBC, British state, the effects they had on Lauren Southern getting her banned from the UK, getting her Patreon deplatformed as well.
	But Tommy is a special character for them as in they have some kind of fetish for him.
	They really do, don't they?
	He's been deplatformed from everything.
	Why do you care about him at all now?
	You'd think, but money.
	So there's that.
	That's what I think it is.
	That and ideology, I suppose.
	But we'll go through some slides, just from the documentary.
	So the first thing here he's featured in his documentary is the fact that I hope not hate blackmailed staff that work for him and Lauren Southern.
	At least that's his allegation here.
	Evidenced by the secretly recorded conversations with said staff, who say that they sat them down and had documents listing everything in their lives, even medical records, You can't get those in Britain.
	Only the state has access to them, and you.
	So if Hope or Hate have them, okay, they got them from the state.
	That's how they got that.
	And in which case, then they're blackmailing them in here with a threat that they will be on terrorism lists, and therefore not be able to engage in international travel, etc.
	Which again, I can't do that to someone.
	If I just set up a communist group and say it doesn't usually happen, you kind of need the state's backing to make that kind of threat.
	Oh yeah, because he was incepted going into America, wasn't he?
	Yeah.
	But this was in regards to the staff, specifically.
	But it was a threat made.
	There's also allegations that Hope Not Hate sexually assaulted one of the staff as well.
	Very progressive.
	Good guys.
	I am sure.
	And that was also part of the intimidation tactics.
	Go to the next slide, then we move on from that.
	This character who features, which is this chap here.
	He's a homeless chap.
	Sorry, I thought I was a member of Home Not Hate.
	No, no.
	Well, I don't know.
	But he alleges in the documentary that Home Not Hate literally bought him drugs.
	So he would make up statements to work with them.
	So that's one of the accusations.
	I'm not shocked at all.
	I wouldn't be surprised if they literally brought drugs.
	So they'll literally do anything, is the point.
	Could have helped him out, or we can give him some drugs.
	This is the point the bad man was getting at.
	There are no lengths in which they won't go to.
	Buying drugs for people is also on the table.
	And then the next slide, please.
	This is probably one of the most interesting aspects.
	So this is in regards to Paul Golding.
	Now, Paul Golding is a member of Britain's First, or Britain First, if I remember.
	They do their campaigning and whatnot.
	It's a legal organization.
	They do their thing.
	They're a political party, I believe.
	I think they are now as well.
	Northern Ireland or something.
	But this is around where he lives.
	And he does his political campaigning, which is all legal, all the rest of it.
	So he made a complaint to the police because he was being harassed by Hope Not Hate to make criminal proceedings against them.
	You know, as you would if you had this kind of allegations.
	They could be sent in court.
	Yeah, Hope Not Hate didn't think court would work, apparently.
	That's because he wasn't breaking the law.
	No, so they decided to hire this guy and a whole bunch of other guys, start handing out leaflets around his neighbourhood to all his neighbours, saying that he was a supporter of Russia in the middle of the Ukraine invasion, so that they would hate him and presumably attack him.
	Who's funding this?
	Well, the British state, by the looks of it.
	Which I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear.
	Disappointed, to be honest.
	Also, he then had to put a metal bar on his letterbox so people wouldn't throw petrol and burn down his house.
	Cameras all over his house for security.
	And the point here being that you can hate him.
	You can hate his politics.
	Who cares?
	His wife and kids live there.
	So his wife and kids can't go out without fear of...
	As far as hope, not hate, are concerned, they made their choice, Callum.
	No.
	And this is the real story for me in this documentary, which is the personal attack by this communist group against innocent civilians.
	I mean, sure, we're going to categorize this as, you know, activists.
	I mean, technically he's a civilian.
	Sure, but they're activists, political types, and, you know, it's all wrong to do it to them too.
	But there's some aspect of, you know, politics is a dirty game.
	At least he knows what he's getting into, right?
	But for the random, like, wives and kids of people, what the hell's wrong with you?
	Like, why would you terrorize their neighborhoods?
	But communist incels, they don't care.
	But there you have it.
	They just could not give a toss.
	And if we go to the next one here, this is where it gets to Tommy's family as well.
	This is his parents' home.
	His parents, quite old, don't go on many marches, don't do many going out and exposing grooming gangs because they're retired, and so apparently, at least according to him, they doxxed his parents' house, and then some people went around with bricks, and as you can see, they threw bricks through the window.
	You can actually see the brick on the second shelf there as well.
	I can't believe that the British government does nothing about this.
	Nope, don't worry about it.
	Posey Parker would be like, sorry, you've been untowards towards paedophiles.
	Untowards about paedophiles.
	But when an old couple are getting bricks through the window by communist agitators.
	Radio silence.
	Don't worry about it.
	Apparently he had to move his family from there.
	Sorry.
	That's great.
	Again.
	Have to flee the family home because of communists.
	But that's the tactic, which all the rest of it is one thing we're sort of used to in Western politics at this point, but actively targeting people's family with violence, that's something new, as in the sense it's not common, for sure.
	It is a new low that they've managed to plumb.
	Yeah.
	If we go to the next one here, they also decided to put this house on their website.
	As you can see, it's archived.
	There's a reason for that.
	Because it was the wrong house?
	No.
	No?
	Well, half.
	Apparently he used to own this house.
	And so they were suing him for trying to get money out of him.
	So they decided to publish the image of this house and the details of the insides of the house, like the floor plans.
	So, you know, if you broke in and you wanted to kill someone, you could know exactly where to go up and normal things.
	Yeah.
	And they said he owns this house and therefore he's hiding money from us.
	He didn't anymore.
	Someone else had moved in long ago.
	A survivor of domestic abuse.
	Oh, brilliant.
	With her 12-year-old daughter.
	Got harassed by communists, didn't they?
	Yeah, a bunch of Muslim men turned up.
	Jesus.
	This lady, who was, you know, very scared of such things, and her 12-year-old daughter, which...
	And they started threatening her and being very mad at her, and she's like, who the hell are you?
	We're here for Tommy.
	Who the hell's Tommy?
	So, there you have it, yet again.
	Okay, but this is interesting, because Hope Not Hate have radicalized the segment of the Muslim community and are using them as thugs.
	Literally like their own little Gestapo.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the demonization of his work has made a lot of people in that area hate him.
	And I hope my haters are all that happy to use them as weapons.
	In this case, doxing apparently where he lived.
	He didn't.
	And instead, end up threatening, again, innocent civilians.
	I mean, just people who are not even involved in politics and society.
	This isn't even like family.
	This is random strangers.
	Yeah.
	People who are fleeing domestic violence.
	Someone who had purchased this house.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, you just couldn't get a worse target either.
	Like, I'm gonna terrorize a woman who's fleeing domestic violence and her 12-year-old daughter, because I'm a leftist for social justice.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Absolutely wonderful.
	I mean, but also just the aspect that if he did live there...
	How would that make it any more ethical?
	Oh, it wouldn't.
	It'd be terrible.
	It would, again, just be hideous.
	I mean, you'd be threatening his wife and kids again with death because there's plenty of Osman warnings for his life.
	People don't know.
	That's a warning meaning you're going to be killed by the police.
	They'll give you those warnings.
	And they're aware of that.
	They don't care.
	They're happy to see him dead.
	I reckon they would be.
	Yeah, they would.
	So there's that.
	But we all go to one clip here, which doesn't involve him, which is instead, the lady, he met the lady after he found out this was happening to her, and was like, oh crap, I'm so sorry, I don't remember.
	Nothing to do with me.
	I didn't think that communists would stalk my every waking moment.
	So they got her to contact Hope Not Hate's CEO, Nick Lowell, the director, and say, Hey, bucko, don't live there.
	The hell are you doing?
	Didn't respond to any of the emails.
	He's a lovely guy.
	And instead, they organized to put a secret camera on her and then tracked down the wife of the director instead and got the lady go to speak to his wife, his family, and beg as a mum, please, for the love of Christ, could you stop terrorizing me?
	Could you stop your psychotic husband from terrorizing me?
	And we'll play that clip.
	With the issue between Tommy Robinson and your partner, your husband.
	I'm not politically involved.
	I don't care about Tommy Robinson.
	I don't care about your husband.
	What I'm talking about is my girl and myself.
	My life's now in danger because of this picture that's gone on the internet.
	The police are involved.
	I spoke to the police and they've told me that the best thing is to try and speak to Nick.
	I've sent Nick an email, asked him could he take the picture down.
	Do you go to the school?
	Just to take the picture down for me and let him know that this is nothing to do with me.
	And I didn't want to approach you when you had your children with you because like as a mum, I don't think that's fair either.
	No, no, no, no.
	But just as a mum...
	Have you come from Bedford?
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	So that I can speak to you myself.
	But if I give you that, then I get into trouble.
	Okay, fine.
	All right.
	That's all I'm saying.
	You know, I don't want Nick coming at me.
	Leave it with me.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	Yeah?
	Thank you.
	Yeah?
	I do appreciate it, honestly.
	God, how awful.
	Yeah, I mean, what the hell's wrong with you?
	The sound of a voice.
	Yeah, I mean, she's been terrorised.
	She's fleed domestic violence, gone to this new home.
	And this is what Tommy's been through this whole time.
	And as you can see, she went home, the wife, spoke to her husband and went...
	Yeah, so I hear you've been terrorizing innocent women.
	Maybe could you stop that?
	And he did take it down off the website.
	Oh, how good of him.
	Yeah.
	You shouldn't have had it up to begin with.
	And as you say...
	You shouldn't be doing any of this, Nick.
	No.
	And as you say, even if it was Tommy's house, the hell's the matter with you?
	I mean, that has to be criminal, surely.
	Yeah.
	I mean, even if you didn't put, you know, the literal address of number four Cherry Rose Drive or something like that, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Either way, what did you think was going to happen with this?
	Why are you trying to dox this house?
	That's why he did it.
	To a guy who has threats against his life.
	You want to have him killed.
	He knew what was going to happen.
	Doing it on purpose.
	Because he would like to be the man who got Tommy Robinson killed.
	Or his wife and kids.
	Which are equally guilty.
	Because they have his blood in them.
	So they might as well be killed too.
	But that's what he's looking for.
	Funnily enough, they didn't take it down off their Twitter page.
	Kept that up.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Sorry.
	Our investigations took us to this run-down house.
	Did they?
	Your wonderful investigations.
	With steel bars over the windows and metal-grilled gates across the doors.
	Yeah.
	It's almost like whoever lived there was expecting to be attacked by someone.
	Yeah, and was trying to keep safe, and instead you made it terrible.
	I mean, what the hell is wrong with you?
	But then, that's the list of the accusations there that I thought were most interesting about Hope Not Hate and their activities.
	And the worst aspect being going after innocent members of the public.
	What the hell is wrong with you?
	The families of people.
	I mean, you are clearly just evil at this point.
	Yeah, obviously.
	Obvious villains.
	Yeah.
	And if you go to the next link here, we can see the bad man then went down and door-stopped him and just, like, you know, asked him, can you answer for this?
	Can you answer for that?
	I will say, I can understand why, but he was very emotional.
	You could tell.
	Tommy was mad.
	Well, I mean, this seems to be, like, quite intense.
	I'd be quite mad.
	I don't blame him.
	He's had to move his house several times.
	His kids' lives have been distraught with this.
	Nick Lowell's is literally trying to get him killed.
	His marriage is over.
	He's divorced his wife.
	People didn't know as well because of all this.
	So there we are.
	And it's not just his family.
	It's all the other families that he's gone after.
	The innocent lady who was a survivor of domestic abuse as well and her kid.
	Yeah, like, you're clearly the bad guy.
	I understand why Tommy was incredibly mad, but I would have liked to hear more from Nick.
	But some of the things, you don't get much out of him.
	But what he does say is that he accuses the bad man of being a drug dealer.
	I never heard that before either.
	Of all the smears against Tommy.
	So what?
	How are you against drug dealing?
	Neo-Nazi, blah blah blah.
	Yeah, drug dealer.
	You're pro-drug dealing.
	You're trying to bribe a homeless guy with drugs.
	It's an allegation.
	Allegedly.
	But there we are.
	It's just like, okay, that's out of the blue.
	Sorry, progressives are like, oh, we don't want drugs in our communities.
	We'll get back to it, though, because there's a reason, apparently, why he said that.
	Okay.
	If we go to the last slide for this section, we can see apparently Tommy had a mole inside Hope Not Hate for years, which was why he got all this information and was able to try and help.
	And the mole was sent this message from Nick after he was doorstopped.
	I found out this evening that my eight-year-old son-in-law saw Lennon confront me this morning.
	He waved me goodbye.
	He said to my partner, is Tommy going to kill me?
	And I began crying.
	He's eight years old!
	Okay, number one, if we believe you, this is not the worst thing either of you to have done.
	You are still the worst possible person in this interaction.
	But Tommy Robinson surely has never threatened any of these people.
	No.
	Because otherwise he'd be in jail.
	He has not doxed your home.
	He has not doxed random members of the public home just being like, yeah, go around and kill them because I don't like them politically.
	So what this is, is Nick and his family.
	Nick has been propagandizing, Tommy's evil, Tommy's evil, he's going to come and kill us.
	And so the child's like, oh god, I guess this guy called Tommy's going to come and kill me.
	And also just the fact of him trying to play the victim here.
	I cannot stand.
	Disgusting.
	It's like, oh my god, my son had to cry.
	You did this to him.
	Nick, that's bad, but...
	You literally terrorize innocent people's lives?
	What's the matter with you?
	I mean, I'm going after Tommy and everyone who stands with him.
	Why do any of this?
	Yeah, he writes to them all, don't you effing dare tell me to step back and not make it personal.
	It's effing personal.
	I'm going after Tommy and everyone who stands with him.
	So you've learned nothing.
	If you didn't do any of these evil things that you're doing...
	None of this would be happening.
	No.
	Well, so I'm going after everyone.
	Yeah, you have.
	You've gone after his family, his kids.
	Yeah.
	Random people who literally don't even know him.
	As in the lady in that house there who had to deal with you and your actions.
	And then ends off with, he's lost the plot, he sounds like an emotional wreck.
	Yeah, I would too.
	After having your marriage destroyed, your kids' lives wrecked, everyone else around you, your parents, had bricks through the windows because of your actions.
	You know, there's nothing more sane and level-headed than a man who's lost everything because of you.
	What did you think was going to happen?
	But trust me, Nick is the real victim here.
	And that's how he portrays himself in this text.
	But also in a clip, which we're going to show, in which he, if you've got the next one here, is just the fact that this is all over a book release.
	That's blank.
	Don't Not Hate is under attack.
	As you will probably know, at the beginning of this year, we helped facilitate the takeover of the investigation into Tommy Robinson's alleged bankruptcy.
	Last year, Tommy Robinson declared himself bankrupt in order to avoid paying hundreds of thousands of pounds in court fees and damages from a libel case that he lost against a Syrian refugee.
	As a consequence of our investigation, and as a consequence of our repeated exposés of his assets, he and his associates have gone on the attack against us.
	They have been watching our houses.
	They have been confronting us and family members out in the streets.
	They have gone to the police with all sorts of stupid and malicious stories against us.
	They've done all this in order to intimidate us, to harass us, and ultimately to silence us.
	But we will not be silenced.
	We will not be bullied, and we will not back down.
	We're asking you to support this crowdfunder so we have the tools and the assets to fight back.
	So we dox these people's families where they live, try and get them killed.
	Random people we endanger as well.
	But then, you know, they reported us to the police and tried to ask us questions.
	We need to fight back.
	We need to fight back against that because that's the real problem.
	Not your literal evil actions.
	Like, the hell is wrong with you?
	Okay, if anyone's lost the plot, it's you.
	I mean, just, like, no moral compass whatsoever.
	Insane evil person.
	Yeah.
	What's this all over?
	Apparently a point release.
	It's about a few quid.
	It's all about for this guy.
	Right.
	See?
	His Twitter account.
	He's releasing a book on Tommy, in which he's going to allegedly...
	He's a drug dealer.
	Like, alright.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	That's...
	That's...
	That's all this is for, is it?
	Like, you ruin random people's lives for that.
	Fantastic.
	However, you mentioned about the money as well.
	If you go to the next one here, we can find...
	If we go to the next one, please, we can find there's more of the fact of where the money comes from.
	Go to the next one, please, John.
	Hope Not Hate Limited.
	It's publicly available.
	You can go and find out how much money they make.
	So in 2020, they got £446,000 from other creditors.
	You know, pounds, donations from all sorts of people.
	Dang.
	No, no, come on.
	We know where that kind of money comes from.
	Well, the next one, please, is we found out in 2015, George Soros gave them $166,000.
	Fantastic.
	A year later, they gave them $100,000, but that's in the olden days.
	Whereas in the more modern days, the Taxpayers Alliance tells us that they're literally getting it straight from the government.
	No, I'm not kidding.
	Taxpayers Alliance lists 7.7 million pounds of taxpayers' money, was given to groups including Hope Not Hate to fight the Conservative Party's immigration plans.
	But why would the government do that?
	Well, that's the difference, isn't it?
	You've got the elected government, you know, the people we put in power.
	Oh, and the deep state.
	The party.
	And then you've got the civil service and the deep state who are literally just stealing our money and giving it to communists because...
	Stonewall.
	Hope not hate.
	It's just ridiculous.
	But there we have it.
	There's a short review of the documentary.
	The Conservatives could do something about this, but they don't.
	Absolutely could.
	And I think it's a good one.
	It's listing some of the horrific things that happened to random people who obviously do not deserve any of this.
	Never mind the people in politics who also don't deserve any of this.
	But, you know, the real victims are Mr.
	Loltz.
	The real victims are the instigators.
	They certainly are.
	God damn it.
	Right, okay, well, I have got a slightly less serious thing to talk about.
	Yeah, let's have fun.
	Yeah.
	So Klaus Schwager...
	So, Klaus Schwab already has you eating ze bugs.
	These are already in your food, and aren't they?
	Man, they are so pleased.
	Aha!
	Don't want to eat the bugs?
	You're already eating the bugs!
	Gotcha!
	Conspiratard.
	Anyway, before we start, if you want to support us, go to thelaserseasons.com, sign up for a fiver a month.
	This is how we keep the lights on, and why we don't have to do corporate sponsorships.
	And why we can produce excellent articles like this, such as, The Tory leadership race proves that leftist ideological capture of Britain is complete.
	Because the Tories are a WEF party, and everyone knows they're a WEF party.
	Everything is a WEF party these days.
	They've penetrated the cabinets around the world, and this is the agenda going forward.
	And so it's really amusing when, like, the Daily Beast is like, oh, you stupid conspiratards.
	As the COVID-19 pandemic starts to ravage the world, a new conspiracy theory known as the Great Reset slowly developed alongside it.
	The details of the theory vary from one conspiratorial echo chamber to the next, but it broadly holds the vague, shadowy cabal of global elites, either engineered the pandemic or opportunistically using it as a means to destroy everything good in the world and build a post-crisis totalitarian dystopia in which average people live benighted lives of slavery solely to serve the interests of the ruling class.
	Okay, the only problem I have with any of that is shadowy.
	Yeah, exactly!
	It's not even vague.
	You can literally livestream it.
	You can watch them on YouTube.
	Or you can literally go to the World Economic Forum's website as Karl Schwab's like, hey, we're going to be eating the boogs soon, by the way.
	Thanks, Klaus.
	According to meticulous research, and we're going to do this to save the planet, by the way.
	According to meticulous research, who have crunched the numbers on wild will soon be voluntarily crunching insects.
	Will it be voluntary?
	The market for edible insects could grow to 1.18 billion by 2023.
	That's almost triple its current level.
	So, what's behind this anticipated increase in appetite?
	Well, there are a number of factors at play.
	The first one being that per kilo of live weight bugs emits less harmful gas.
	Oh god, I'm just so desperate to eat the boogs.
	Why?
	Well, because there's going to be so much less damaging for the environment.
	That's why.
	I'm just hungry to save the planet.
	I kind of hate this.
	Yeah, me too.
	How many people actually, when they think of steak or whatever, think, you know, food they're going to eat, think of the planet?
	What was that, 0.1%?
	No one.
	Anyway, so they, you know, eat less resources than traditional livestock, which is very interesting.
	And of course, they consume less water.
	So the message is, eat the boogs to save the world.
	I know it may taste terrible, but think of the planet.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't know much about the details of it, but apparently there are different kinds of proteins as well.
	Also, I'm getting, like, video game vibes out of this.
	Like, you know the highest stats on the cow?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I want the cow.
	That's how you know it's better meat.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, no, that's exactly it.
	Why do you think it tastes so much better?
	But yeah, it's...
	But you could have the cheap stuff that only costs this much.
	Yeah, at level one...
	It's good enough for you, maybe.
	I'm 42 now.
	I deserve the cow, right?
	But the...
	The point is, it's not all the same.
	So, you know, eating protein from certain kinds of animals gives you different benefits than eating other kinds of animals.
	And I've, like, again, I don't know much about this, but I've seen people say, well, look, insects are deficient in these things.
	Quite possibly, who knows, right?
	But anyway, the point is, the EU, up until 2018, has prevented this.
	They're like, no, you're not allowed to sell insects to humans.
	Not fit for human consumption, says the EU, right?
	The EU laws have prevented it until 2018, when the novel food regulation came into force, which allowed people to start selling you insects.
	So the WEF are like, yeah, well, legally, you're not allowed to sell the books, so we'll change the law.
	I wonder, have you got the Stephen Colbert clip in here or not?
	No.
	There's him and Jimmy Kimmel having a chat.
	I think it's Jimmy Kimmel.
	They all look the same.
	Yeah.
	And he's showing him this pile of dirt, and he's like, oh, it's a ground-up mealworm, so you get protein out of it.
	You should try some.
	It's not just dirt.
	It just looks like dirt.
	Yeah.
	And he's like, well, it's approved by the EU, so it must be good.
	Oh, God.
	Literally looks like dirt.
	And saying something's approved by the EU is actually a demerit and incentivizes me to avoid it.
	Anyway, CNN wants you to eat the boogs.
	And this is just representative of the general media fervor.
	You need to eat them.
	Eat them to save the planet.
	I mean, literally, maybe save the planet.
	This is why.
	They're convinced that you eating meat is destroying the Earth.
	Every single one of them has a private jet.
	Every single one of them flew that private jet just to Davos to have a chat.
	None of them had a bug burger while they were there.
	No.
	They had steak.
	Never will.
	But anyway, so they say, you know, on the morning in the not-too-distant future, you might be toasting bread made with cricket flour, drink a protein smoothie from locust powder, and eat scrambled eggs made from the fat of mopane caterpillars with a side of mealworm bacon in your pod.
	This is the future they want.
	That meal will give you four times the iron and more than three times the protein, and more key vitamins and minerals than the bread, smoothie, and eggs baking you ate yesterday, all while saving the planet.
	No way you'll eat the bugs, you say.
	Sorry to break this to you.
	You already are.
	That's not encouraging me.
	Hang on, that's a horse meat scandal.
	Yeah, exactly!
	There are crickets in here?
	Okay, we need to shut you down.
	Well, that's the thing.
	They say, well, look, the US Food and Drug Administration allows 30 or more insect parts In every bar of chocolate, as in basically, like, the process that makes the food isn't perfect, and so there's a certain percentage of, like, you know, a certain threshold of dirt and contaminants that are allowed in the food.
	Otherwise, it would just be impossible to get food to the shelves, right?
	But it's, you know, you've got standards, and so you generally don't have bits of bug in your chocolate bars.
	But occasionally this may happen, and you just have to live with it, right?
	And so checkmate, you're already eating the bugs by accident.
	It's a contaminant.
	You may as well just start shoveling mealworm bacon down.
	0.1% of chocolate bar is bug parts, so...
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And so that's one way that you're already eating the bugs, but there are also more.
	It's not even that you do, you should.
	This is you should.
	You should think about Timon and Pumbaa.
	You were like the Lion King, didn't you?
	What?
	Timon and Pumbaa do it.
	You like Timon and Pumbaa, therefore you like eating boogs.
	Okay?
	But basically...
	Do they actually think we're children?
	Yes.
	You know, have you seen Nas Daly and his spat with Abi Yemini at Davos?
	Oh, you really should have, because it's gone.
	So, Avi, you know you're Avi.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Alright, Nasdaily is a guy who makes, like, the most retarded videos you've ever seen.
	Yeah, I know.
	One minute, like, here's a stupid video.
	There was one where he was like, look, the ground is anti-gravity, as a ball rolled down the hill, and it's just because he turned the camera.
	And he got millions of views.
	I've seen him complaining, being like, you can't build an audience off this, funnily enough.
	Apparently you can.
	No, he doesn't have any actual supporters.
	He just has likes and views.
	There's no community.
	And then him and Abby were having this fight because he was like, well, how did you get here?
	You obviously flew.
	You eat any bugs here?
	Or you obviously didn't.
	You're just a shill.
	What are you doing?
	And it's just the fact that he treats his audience like literal children.
	So I think they genuinely do believe that they are just gods.
	Yes.
	But the reason that you should be eating some bugs is, of course, to save the planet.
	And this is the consistent theme throughout this entire problem.
	The global meat industry has been questioned for being responsible for at least 20% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions and being an unsustainable practice.
	And, of course, there are a lot of bodies to feed on Earth.
	They estimate that there's going to be 9.8 billion by 2050.
	How are we going to feed all these useless eaters, Callum?
	It's going to have to be boog.
	Boog-based.
	We're running out of space to farm, you see, which is not true at all.
	Overpopulation is a total myth.
	But anyway, so we have decided, we being the WEF-inspired researchers, people being funded by the European Union and things like that, to start feeding kids boogs.
	Did you?
	You must have heard about this.
	Saw this.
	Yep.
	So researchers are planning to feed bugs like crickets and mealworms to children between 5 and 11.
	Why?
	To get them used to eating Zaboogs.
	That's why.
	They wish to find the best way of educating the younger generation and their families on the environmental and nutritional benefits of edible insects to cut global meat consumption.
	I mean, this is literally why they're like, all right, we're going to brainwash your children then to eat zboogs, and then they won't have a problem not eating steak or pork chops.
	You know, fried chicken or anything like this.
	No, no, no, no.
	Also, hang on.
	The idea is because kids will eat it, therefore it's good enough as well.
	Well, not even that.
	Kids will eat it because they don't know any better unless he was put in front of them because they're kids.
	But, like, Jamie Oliver has proved that.
	I'm sure you've seen where he turns, like, the carcass into chicken nuggets.
	Yeah.
	And he's like, look how disgusting.
	Who would still eat this?
	And all the kids go, yay!
	I love chicken nuggets!
	Yeah, exactly.
	I've seen it.
	But this, again, it will also involve surveying the primary school children to find out how their attitudes to environmental issues and how they translate that into views on food, right?
	So Carl Evans, the headteacher of Roch Community Primary School in Pembrokeshire, which is taking part in the project, said, at the school we recognise the important connection between our local community, food production and wider global issues surrounding sustainable development.
	We know these issues are important to children.
	Kids are just like, yeah, I'm really bothered about sustainable development.
	Can I watch the latest WEF documentary about sustainable farming rather than something good on TV? Unfortunately, they might be right.
	Do you remember Greta Thunberg and all those climate strikes?
	It's not because the kids sincerely care, but they've been indoctrinated to think it's the end of the bloody world.
	It's because the parents are paid to make them do it.
	Yeah.
	But we welcome the opportunity to work with academics from Cardiff and the University of Western England, I think it is, to explore these issues and support children in developing critical thinking around sustainable citizenship.
	And it goes further.
	I mean, they may as well just start sneaking it into your food.
	You don't need to know that you're in bugs.
	This is just one of those things.
	So there's a Canadian snack food called Actually Food, which lists organic cricket flour as one of its ingredients.
	Very suspect name.
	But of course, it's not advertised on the front of the packet.
	You'd have to go through it, and the little tiny block of...
	In tiny, tiny letters, font, you'd have to go through and read it.
	But...
	But this, you know, these cheese puffs are good for you, apparently.
	These crickets.
	We've ditched so-called natural ingredients.
	They're not actually as clean as they claim.
	Instead, we're making something you can feel good about using unexpected ingredients that, although surprising, actually boost the health benefits you're looking for when you're eating junk food.
	Like high-protein cricket powders, flavor bean, and more.
	They write on their website, not on the packet.
	I'm getting Soylent Green vibes though.
	The fact that they called it Actually Foods as well.
	Trust us.
	It's just food.
	This is Actually Food, you know.
	There's a method of persuasion.
	What a terrible name for a food company.
	You might not have known if they hadn't told you.
	But yeah, so this is something that they've been doing.
	But again, you'll find people going, you've been eating boogs for years, what are you complaining about if you get the next one?
	For example, Skittles and other hard-shelled candies, apparently they use the crushed abdomens of female beetle-like African insects.
	There's a substance called carmine they make.
	And so it's like, right, that's it.
	You eat the bugs now.
	Good enough for you.
	It's good enough for every meal that you have.
	If you have it on sugar, just coated sweets.
	But remember, I mean, it's not just you who's going to eat the bugs.
	It's everyone.
	Since the dawn of time, who's eating boogs?
	I mean, you could frame this as, like, actually us not having to eat bugs is a technological marvel, an accomplishment of the human race, and actually it's very retrograde to go back to eating bugs.
	But this, again, it's all the same.
	It's been the same narrative for decades.
	This is from 2004 on National Geographic, right?
	Again, all of the same.
	You've got to think about eating insects to save the planet, right?
	Ancient Romans and Greeks dined on insects.
	Pliny used to write that Roman aristocrats loved to eat beetle larvae reared on flour and wine.
	Loved to?
	Oh yeah, they did.
	The Romans ate disgusting food.
	But that's all they ate?
	They stuffed dormouse.
	What?
	They stuff it with.
	Who cares?
	The garbage?
	No, no.
	Stuffed door mouths, they used to have fermented fish soup.
	It's delicious stuff, the Romans ate.
	But, I mean, if it's good enough for Aristotle, it's good enough for you, isn't it?
	You know what surströmming is?
	Is it what?
	Surströmming.
	The Swedish fermented fish.
	Yes, yes.
	It's like, you know, some Finnish guys spoiled the fish, sold it to the Swedes, and they were dumb enough to eat it.
	And now it's a tradition.
	I'm getting vibes of that, too.
	Yeah, it's called garum.
	You could eat this.
	I was like, yeah, but no one wants to.
	Well, the Romans liked it, apparently.
	But again...
	Well, the Swedes say they like sirsten, but no one believes that.
	Well, I guess it's a quiet taste.
	But, you know, Aristotle said that the larvae of the cicada is good to eat at certain particular times, and so if it's good enough for Aristotle, what do you know?
	I don't believe it.
	It's in the Old Testament.
	John the Baptist survived on locusts when he was in the desert.
	If you believe in John the Baptist...
	And in China, beekeepers are considered virile because they regularly eat larvae from their beehives.
	You don't want to be a virile Chinese beekeeper?
	You're a loser.
	That's what all the kids are doing.
	So, anyway, basically, the checkmate has arrived.
	It's not that they want you to...
	Can we persuade you to eat zeboogs?
	You're already eating zeboogs.
	Everyone has always eaten zeboogs.
	Even Aristotle and Chinese beekeepers eat zeboogs.
	You're the weird person for wanting your steak.
	That's what this is.
	Can't stand it.
	Give the video comments.
	You mean, he transformed from one type of deity into another?
	The Scarlet King is not a deity, Doctor.
	The Scarlet King is an idea.
	He is the idea of the ancient in a world which discards and fetishizes it.
	They will coat the world in concrete gray, and the king will rise from the ashes.
	So tell me, Doctor, do you know why the Scarlet King exists?
	I don't know what the Scarlet King stuff was.
	That first headline really annoyed me though.
	This whole thing is really, really annoying me.
	Someone's going to have to send me a link to the video that they're talking about because I would like to watch it.
	For people listening, the first headline was there was a guy from Pakistan pledging allegiance to the Queen for his citizenship.
	He did it in Urdu.
	Yeah, it's awful.
	What, big man Tyrone get a citizenship?
	Yeah, yeah, it was wholesome.
	Very wholesome.
	Yeah.
	Very pro-British.
	It's a point of comparison.
	Yeah.
	The next one.
	My early Christian education always left me with a trouble understanding the lethality of slingers.
	I knew they were lethal, but not exactly why.
	I don't know the background of this chap, but his teaching and action is superb.
	Watch his very calm instructional video and find out what I had been missing.
	I actually know quite a lot about slinging.
	I actually did a lot of slinging about 10 years ago because I was unemployed for one summer and I needed something cheap to do.
	And I had what?
	It's just something funny about being like, you know, I'm ready at the slinging.
	The first videos on my YouTube channel were me and a friend going out and slinging.
	It's really dangerous.
	But this guy's technique, you don't want to spin it more than...
	There are multiple styles, right?
	And the Balearic style is really inaccurate.
	Because once you start swinging multiple swings, you lose the sort of coordination required to get an accurate shot.
	What you want is to do it all in one smooth motion with your body, without slinging it around you.
	Because you're wasting time there anyway.
	And you're not actually gaining any more force...
	So all you do is lose accuracy with it.
	After many, many months of me standing out in the sun slinging and listening to audiobooks, it was great fun.
	But I would have recommended the Byzantine style anyway.
	It sucks.
	Short sling definitely sucks.
	I've always wondered if there were some New Age terrorists who actually decided to learn ancient fighting techniques.
	Would that work or not?
	Well, when the Welsh Taliban starts, I'll teach them.
	It'll be you slinging.
	But the thing is, right, the short sling prevents...
	It's meant to be more accurate, but I actually didn't find it more accurate.
	A mid-sized sling I found more accurate.
	But the short sling prevents you from getting a really good amount of energy through it.
	You want something that doesn't stretch at all because that absorbs the energy, so you want some taut rope of some sort.
	Actually, the sort of, you know, plastic cabling was really good because it's totally inflexible, basically.
	So you can feel the difference in the energy that comes through.
	But seriously, like, over 200 feet, or literally off the horizon, you can send these stones.
	Whereas if you throw a stone with your hand, you know, 30 feet.
	And, like, if you put, like, we found, like, some, what was it?
	Like crates and...
	What the hell are the things they have in warehouses?
	Pallets.
	Pallets, that's it, yeah.
	Found some of those, so I put them up.
	And I was just smashing these apart with these stones.
	If this hit you, it would kill you.
	It's a very dangerous weapon.
	There's lots of historical reports of...
	there was one in about a Roman legion in Spain where they were complaining the slings were doing way more damage when we're harm than the arrows because the arrows it's a point and so if you're wearing metal armor well it stops on metal but the sling is a stone and it doesn't matter if you're wearing a metal armor because the concussion goes straight through so the slings were really really bad good stuff yeah this fig tree is rather imposing
	But it grows exactly where the retaining wall fell.
	And so, it must go.
	Eventually.
	When I drum up the courage to deal with this.
	Alright, I see this is more developments from the man who's building a house or renovating his ancient house there.
	Yeah.
	But, uh, good for you.
	Go to the next one.
	Walking mechanism is taking its first steps down an eight degree incline.
	The footage is sped up four times to get an idea how fast it's going to run at the final 48 volts.
	The next step is to use PVC glue to hold everything together.
	And of course, to make the frame extra thick!
	And for God's sake, get some computer controls in here instead of relying on just a pair of switches.
	So you might need more than PVC glue.
	I suppose we'll see.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, next one.
	I recently upgraded my Ender 3 V2 to a 400mm bit.
	Bit of a wire mess, but I'm printing the components to get the wiring under control now.
	I'm running out of parts to upgrade.
	Calling this Ender Theasis now.
	It's the sort of machine work that makes me worried when you see machines making machines.
	Anyway, it is really cool.
	So show us what else you can print towards your armies.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Since you guys are talking about wolves and rewilding, I just wanted to recommend the book Wolf Totem.
	It's a Chinese autobiography about a Redguard that goes up to the Mongol territories to basically manage the herdsmen and basically has to deal with all the wolf packs that are always harrying them.
	And basically, the wolves actually understand that we have borders and will go across them to avoid hunting parties, and also will kill animals for spite.
	Not exactly sure what Carl's beef with the buffaloes and the anti-buffalo rhetoric was.
	We have them all over the place in my country.
	You should learn to live with the buffaloes.
	They're all your friends.
	Yeah, because you have wolves, and the wolves keep the buffalo numbers under control, as I said.
	But we don't have wolves, and so...
	Eventually, the buffaloes in the south and the wolves in the north will meet, but it's going to be uncontrolled.
	I will say that I'd see some of the comments.
	Some people were agreeing that it might actually be a good idea if we do get our Second Amendment back somehow.
	And if this is the way to do it, screw it.
	I guess.
	I guess.
	If this gets me guns.
	You know about the borders thing, though?
	There's deer on the different sides of the Iron Curtain.
	I don't think the wolves are going to respect Hadrian's Wall.
	No, no.
	I don't think the wolves are, but there's some...
	It's just a funny fact I remember learning, is that there are deer in Czechoslovakia, right?
	And then when all the border stuff was taken down, they still respect the borders, because they're not brave enough to go and attempt crossing anymore.
	Neat, but not really relevant.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Have you seen Gladiator?
	Then, you basically know all of Angron's pre-Emperor days.
	Kept as a slave to fight people, frees himself and his friends in the pits, starts a rebellion.
	Eventually, his father comes to him, and he says, Angron, come with me.
	And he says, bring my people!
	And Emps says, no.
	So Angron stays loyal to his people.
	Later on, Emps just teleports Angron out of a battle, and lets him watch his family be slaughtered.
	And for this, Angron would never forgive the Emperor or his people.
	It's really no shock he felt the chaos.
	Genuinely tragic figure.
	Yeah, Angron is such the easiest example of the Emperor just being a dick.
	Yeah, but I mean, there's a lot of the Emperor is a bit of a dick.
	Yeah, but I mean, this one is literally just teleporting me and my lads out, and he goes, no, I'll just take you.
	And he has to watch all his friends die.
	He's like, yeah, so you'll be loyal to me, right?
	Yeah, why would I? Like, are you actually dumb?
	But the new model for Angron looks awesome.
	So with the amount of left-wing movements that devolve into cult, I gotta ask, are ideologies and religion basically the same thing?
	I understand aesthetically they're very different, but from a practical standpoint, they're both fundamental views on how the world works, with prescriptions on what needs to be done to achieve good, and they seem to possess people in the exact same way.
	I don't know, maybe they just kind of work on the same mechanism.
	Or this is a pedantic question, like asking if a hot dog is a sandwich.
	Who knows?
	For people listening, there's a sign there of an alligator that says, do not feed or molest.
	In case you were...
	I can't promise that.
	It must have happened for them to put up the sign.
	I've seen...
	The reason that Florida Man is such a meme is because Florida police departments, the things they do are public.
	And so journalists, when they're having a slow news day, let's go look up Florida PD websites and see what's a Florida man done today.
	And you see, like, rapes alligator and stuff like this.
	And so, it has happened.
	First, I'll go to the sign.
	I'll go to the sign.
	In regards to ideologies being religions, probably yes.
	I mean, definitely socialism is.
	Oh yeah, it's definitely, it's a replacement for a religion, tapped into the same psychological impulses.
	I was going to say, you could just look at the kind of people who go to socialist parties or rallies and whatnot.
	500 years ago, they would have been insane Christian zealots.
	Yeah, but also you rarely find huge groups of them that also go to church.
	Oh yeah.
	One has replaced the other.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, with North Korea, it's even more apparent.
	We're literally talking about the sun god.
	He's the dear leader.
	No, I do agree.
	I think the Enlightenment ideologies have replaced religion.
	Anyway, Sodank Spamfish says, Portland residents voted for this mess so they can live with it.
	Yep.
	Note to red states, do not accept refugees or refugees.
	They'll come to your state and vote blue.
	Yes, they will.
	Because it's a sufferer.
	I can't stand that.
	Like, when I was out in Texas, I heard, like, some people, like, rumbling about it.
	It was a couple of years ago.
	But now I've, like, people message me going, there are Californians everywhere.
	Like, wow.
	I would hate it too.
	They're, like, arming the illegal immigrants going to be like, help us get rid of them.
	Yeah.
	M1Ping says, St.
	Floyd's death didn't absolve Portland of its sins?
	What a shock.
	No.
	Adrian says, it's always good to see that black lives don't actually matter to those that have seen the CRT gospel.
	Not even slightly.
	Because literally all George Floyd's death has done is made sure that the Portland authorities have eased up on the suppressive force that was preventing murders.
	That's all it's done.
	So it's encouraged the black community in Portland, which is a very, very small percentage of Portland, to start killing each other mercilessly.
	It's like, really, George Floyd died for this, didn't he?
	Amazing.
	Anyway, George says...
	Kind of.
	George says...
	That's how he lived.
	I don't think George Floyd was a gangbanger.
	No, I mean, he was awful, though.
	Yeah, he was awful.
	But, yeah.
	As far as we're aware, he didn't murder anyone.
	Just threatened.
	Just threatened a pregnant woman.
	Well, to kill her and the baby, so...
	Yeah.
	George says, Portlandia is no longer a comedy series.
	It's a drama and horror.
	Callum says, Homeless camp?
	Sure, you should just think of a Hun on Mongolian campsite, but instead of riding horses, they ride on meth and crack.
	Ben says...
	They're all throats singing to each other in the evening.
	Well, that's actually, yeah.
	I saw it.
	Yeah, no, that's actually what's happening.
	What?
	Like, because they're screaming and...
	So that's the Mongolian throat singing.
	Okay.
	Ben says, giving the homeless mini-homes is a good idea, but they need help getting off the street, not more drugs.
	Well, that's your opinion, because you're a racist.
	Because you're right-wing.
	Itachi says, when the average cost of government provided homeless apartments is $500,000 for a single unit, mobile pods make more sense.
	Your tax dollars at work, America.
	Yeah, yeah, they do.
	But still, do you want just literally like fields of homeless pods with screeching drug addicts in them?
	That's just wrong.
	That's why I mention Nick, because it doesn't really solve the problem either.
	Just be like, well, we've given you a tiny home to live in?
	Yeah.
	Which, you know, not great anyway.
	You'll be safe from the elements in here as you're mauling your face off on crack.
	But as Nick said, the majority problem of people rough sleeping, not being homeless, is the fact that they're on drugs and therefore can't get a job.
	Yes.
	And in which case, the problem is the drugs.
	Yes.
	Primarily.
	I think he said like 60%, something like that.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't know why you have to say it.
	It just seems so patently obvious.
	Old people just assume they're homeless, that you couldn't pay the rent.
	That's a very small percent of people.
	Screwtape says, these Portlanders are kids complaining of a bellyache after being allowed to eat all their Halloween candy.
	Give them enough rope.
	Yeah, I'm not terribly sympathetic, to be honest.
	Are there still any police in Portland, says Colin?
	Didn't they defund them?
	They had to refund them.
	I should have included that, because they did actually have to refund them.
	Omar says, usually I wouldn't blame voters for whatever turd sandwich is installed into power, but in Portland, it seems to be that the exception proves the rule.
	The only vote that counts in a place like that is the one you make with your feet.
	They could try to become the representation they won't see, but even without the establishment working against them, it would be an uphill battle.
	God help the normals that can't leave.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	If Portland's voting history wasn't so phenomenally left-wing, if it was like a 50-50 split, you'd be like, well, those poor Republican voters don't deserve this.
	But you can't really say that about Portland because there aren't really any Republican voters to speak of.
	It's a very deep...
	Democrat or Maoist.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's so deep blue, it's arriving at communism.
	So it's like, right, okay, well...
	I mean, you get what you fucking deserve.
	You know, I've just got no sympathy.
	And you can vote Donald Trump.
	You know, I advise you to.
	For some reason, my thing's, like, not loading.
	So, I know, it's all right.
	Well, I have to.
	S.H. Silver says, Speaking of the bad man, Carl, have you seen Lauren Southern's expose on the Grifters of the Right?
	Apparently, she has some not nice things to say about the bad man.
	I didn't actually watch it.
	What does she say about the bad man?
	Oh, there was a falling out between him and his staff, and she goes into the details of that side of why the falling out happened.
	I did actually speak to her.
	She says she had nothing bad to say about you, which I found funny.
	Occasionally people think I'll just say something bad about you.
	I'm just like, no.
	Oh, you asked Lauren about me?
	No, she brought it up.
	Oh, did she?
	It's just like, no, he's a pretty normal guy.
	Yeah, I was.
	If you don't do anything mad, you don't end up becoming a weirdo.
	Yeah, I met Lauren a few times, and she's been really nice every time.
	Yeah, but the expose was interesting.
	I just knew I wasn't going to get featured in it, so I didn't watch it.
	No, but that's her case on what happened and everything and her details.
	But the big thing in there, as I ended up getting featured in Tommy's documentary as well, was she had an undercover recording of the people that worked for her openly saying they didn't know they were being recorded.
	She got the recording, Tommy had a recording as well.
	so we matched the stories and neither of them knew they were being recorded that they were blackmailed by hope not hate it wasn't a case of they turned traitor or anything because they had an ideological shift or anything of the sort it was instead that they literally threatened them with state powers of you won't be able to travel you're going to be on a tarot watch list and they buckled in which case that's the country we live in it's it's one in which the state will actively suppress ideological activists oh there we go so i mean it's not like we've ever said tommy isn't a man without his flaws no no he hasn't either so we
	I don't even think he's claimed that.
	Yeah, so, anyway.
	Omar says, I think hope not hate is a perfect example of another leftist inversion.
	They're desperate to imply that they are hope, not hate, but in practice they are closer to hope not hate.
	It's just a comma.
	Yeah, yeah, that's a great point.
	That's a nice way of putting it.
	Yeah.
	Literal incitement to violence because, as cowards, they don't want to get their hands dirty.
	If anyone dies, then the government will be just as culpable as if they'd hired an assassin to do it directly.
	That's true.
	Free Will says, hope not hate.
	His name was Orwellian as Ministry of Love or Ministry of Peace.
	Yeah.
	The British government are possibly not even aware it's happening and probably care even less.
	Maybe.
	Probably some civil servants who are just slipping this money.
	The British government probably don't have any idea at all.
	I mean, there's multiple layers.
	Even worse.
	So, there are government ministers who do find out that this sort of stuff's going on and deal with it.
	Best example in recent times, Liz Truss going department to department defunding Stonewall.
	I mean, she did.
	I think it was 23 departments she got to defund them.
	Can't knock her on that.
	No.
	Like, done her job, there are still three that defied her orders, which then have to be dealt with, appropriately.
	But that's a great example.
	So, when they do find out, you can get someone to do something.
	Could Liz Truss be the dark horse?
	Like, she looks incompetent.
	She sounds stupid when she talks.
	But she gets the job done.
	When it comes to wokeism, she is...
	She will actually go around as a hatchet man.
	Remember when she became McCarthy's minister?
	She gave that speech about Foucault and how he was a nonce and he needed to be sorted out.
	She's winning me over.
	It was, like, filmed in 144p.
	It was awful, but the speech was good.
	Right, Truss is like, yeah, enough noncery.
	Get Stonewall out of here.
	We've been disappointed before, but there's that level, so it can be dealt with, but in the civil service you've got idiots who just think anti-racism, and then there are communists as well, so they're just helping their brothers.
	Baron von Moorhawk says, well, yeah, helping the cause.
	If a horde of political activists were threatening to burn down houses and kill your family, in a sane world, we would call these people terrorists.
	Yet, not only are they allowed to run free with the British government, the police are actually supporting them.
	It's a sad day for the West when England appears no different from Iran, Russia, or China.
	Yeah.
	But the BBC will have state-funded media, and then they'll have state-affiliated media from Russia Today.
	As if there's a difference.
	Luke...
	Well, you put it that way.
	The BBC actually does sound worse than our team.
	They're only affiliated with the state.
	They're not funded by them.
	They obviously are, but...
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, no, they're only funded by them, not affiliated is the way they'll say it.
	Because the BBC has somehow got a good reputation with these people.
	Luke says, harassing conservatives to social media posts is low risk and low effort for the police.
	On the other hand, dealing with actual crime, i.e.
	communist brick-throwing, requires effort and involves an element of danger.
	Yeah, there was the Swindon...
	Does Percy Parker live around here?
	Not in Swindon.
	No, but in Wilshire.
	Right, okay, I didn't realise.
	I thought she was from somewhere else.
	But yeah, the Swindon police commissioner posted about it going, yeah, this was a non-crime incident.
	It wasn't even a hate incident.
	It was just a non-crime incident.
	And people were like, why are you doing anything about it then?
	There are actual crimes.
	Kids get stabbed around here these days.
	Yep.
	Thomas says, hope not hate like Antifa capos are the new Sturmbeleitung, some German word, stormtrooper, Sturmabteilung or something, directing these people to push the neo-fascist agenda, which, true.
	Eric says, this reminds me of a Swedish freelance reporter called Joachim Lamott, who recently abandoned journalism.
	Lamott endured threats to his life for more than half a decade, but when the threats spread to his family, his friends' family and his wife's co-workers' families had to finally step down.
	These threats came from Swedish leftist activists and Muslim extremists, sane, peaceful people indeed.
	I mean, that's the annoying thing with the response to some of Andy's reporting.
	I mean, especially initially, it's been proven right in Poland.
	They're like, oh, they're just protesting or doing this, just silly kids.
	And then they started, you know, shooting people in the street, IEDs, molotoving the police.
	Yeah, saying five courthouses.
	Yeah, everyone thinks so.
	Well, they're just a bit of a silly left-wing organisation who's dumb.
	No, no, no.
	Genuinely evil and capable of doing horrific things.
	And if you don't clamp down on them at the silly level, they will do this.
	Generica says, the WEF is taking over.
	We need our own counter-WEF. Loadsies is a good start.
	What would it take to have a right-wing group with everyone on board?
	Whatever it looks like, we need it.
	United, we stand a chance to win, but divided, we lose.
	Oh, God, that's too much.
	I can't answer that question now.
	Millions of pounds.
	Young Global Leaders Foundation, I guess.
	We would need billionaire angel investors to sort things out.
	Thankfully, you know, we've got you guys, because we're a grassroots organization, that no one would invest in.
	I never asked anyone or anything like that.
	Hey, you know, Akilah.
	Well, yeah, apart from Akilah, that's true.
	I keep saying, it would be funny to just have a plague.
	Yes, thank you for Akilah.
	Jedediah Kurth says, there are a lot of bodies to feed on Earth.
	Wait, do you mean people, or do they think of us as not really people?
	Well, I think the technical term is useless eaters.
	That you're going to be eating the boogs.
	Small L Libertarian says, you're already eating the boogs?
	You get a heap of radiation from the sun every day.
	What's your issue with my depleted uranium pillows?
	Exactly.
	It's the same thing.
	Well, look, there's a detectable trace amount of boog in that chocolate bar that you're eating, so you may as well just have this bug sandwich.
	Could you imagine if Tesco tried to pull this after the horse meets the candle?
	They're going to try and pull it.
	No, but for people who don't know, so Tesco used to sell these lasagnas, turned out there was horse meat in them, we don't eat horses in England, it's very taboo.
	But that's the thing, and the response was, oh god, we're very sorry, we all sort out of the supply chain.
	Do you imagine if they turn around, well, you've been eating horse meat for years!
	What's the problem?
	They wouldn't get away with that.
	Yeah.
	Good sales on that horse meat, what are you talking about?
	people like the new recipe what's the uh kevin says if we all eat zaboogs as the wef wants what's going to airify the soil help plants and trees reproduce break down the dead foliage with the help of decaying and with help with decaying of the dead so we can keep the wef happy and be living in a desert surrounded by dear slowly decomposing bodies of billions of cows sheep and pigs and chickens everywhere because no one is he uh yes quite possibly you Omar's got a great point here, though.
	And this is what I've been driving at with, look, I have the moral obligation to eat meat to prove that I'm on the top of the food chain.
	That's how I know.
	I eat the herbivores, therefore I am on the top of the food chain.
	Just harpooning a whale to prove it!
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I would eat a whale to prove I'm further up on the food chain, right?
	Omar says, I think there might be some sort of thick concept at work with eating animal meat.
	It's even more spiritually satisfying to eat animals like mother has more meaning than birthing person, even if it has the same clinical result that doesn't have the same meaning.
	Yeah, no, I think you're right.
	It's proof that we are the apex predators.
	Iceland and Japan, apex predators of all humanity.
	They'll even go after the whales.
	Well, I mean, they have whales.
	Well, the world has whales.
	They're just the ones who legally eat them.
	Yeah, but we don't have very many whales off the coast of England, do we?
	Okay.
	I mean, English whaling ships are out there, are they?
	There's Falklands.
	We go out there.
	That's a fair point.
	But you're already eating zaboogs is as good an argument as your lasagna animals meat in it.
	Omar's already preempted you on this one.
	It's not supposed to be there and doesn't become more appetizing knowing I've already consumed it in trace amounts.
	Yes.
	Maureen says, insects are tiny, so people are usually consuming them in their entirety.
	How do you know if a bug has a disease or pathogen?
	Well, that's actually a good point.
	In the research I was doing for this, I didn't have time to, like, because, you know, there was, like, the organic prepper or something.
	I didn't want to use the source, but they had links in there, and I didn't have time to go through them.
	But they were saying that basically a lot of the bugs actually do carry pathogens that can pass on to humans after consumption.
	So it's like, brilliant.
	Because one of the things that the Weffer types are saying is like, look, these eat turds.
	Isn't that good for the environment?
	It cleans up all their horse shit.
	And it's like, I don't really want to eat that.
	And unsurprisingly, it actually can transmit germs, which is not good.
	Don't worry about it though.
	It'll be fine.
	Yes.
	But Colin says, you already eat the boogs.
	They're part of your sweets.
	Sweet manufacturers, why are cells dropping?
	They're probably not, to be honest.
	Pirate Skeleton says, people can acquire allergies to shellfish over prolonged exposure.
	The allergy itself is to the chitinous exoskeletons.
	Insects also have chitinous exoskeletons.
	The population is forced to consume boogs.
	It's only a matter of time before scores of people are beset by an intense allergy attacks.
	That was actually on the packaging of the cricket chips.
	The actually food, trust us?
	Yeah, the actually food people, yeah.
	If you have an allergy to shellfish, you shouldn't eat this product because it's made of shellfish, basically.
	Okay.
	My thing's, like, not reloading.
	I don't worry.
	Pretty much out of time, anyway.
	I remember a comment in the chat when we were doing that segment as well.
	Someone was like, could you imagine renaming a food company?
	Like, definitely not poison.
	But that's basically what this is.
	It's like, oh, it's actually food.
	It's like...
	Trust me on this.
	I wasn't in any doubt until you mentioned that.
	But anyway, if you want more from us, we'll be back tomorrow at one o'clock.
