	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 1st of August 2022.
	I'm joined by Josh.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the criminal memes, Britain's trans clinic forcing itself to close, and Mum's Comics feminist gibberish, which I think we're going to have a lot of fun with, to say the least.
	I'm going to enjoy your psychology background on that as well.
	I don't know what's in store for me because I have no idea what this is.
	Just to mention first, just a note about video comments.
	So, video comments, as the rules are written, which are going to be to play to our discretion, and going to be enforcing that a little bit more, if for no other reason than the editor's sanity in regards to some of them.
	But just an announcement there about why someone would blame someone, and there you have that.
	Otherwise, we shall get into the news.
	So, on the criminal memes.
	So, I mean, there are many criminal memes in the modern world.
	Too many, really.
	Yeah, I mean, there was the Nazi pug.
	That was a good one back in the day.
	There was a quoting song lyrics from, was it Chelsea Russell in Liverpool?
	You may remember?
	That was a golden meme.
	There was a police officer that was arrested for one about George Floyd.
	Yeah, and now we have the criminal meme of the progress flag.
	The flag itself.
	Oh, I know what this is, yeah.
	Just to mention first, of course, we're going to plug a podcast here being the origins of intersectionality, which will explain the origins of that flag, if you're confused as to why the world went from this...
	Traditional pride flag of multicolours to the one with the chevron and why that one seems to make a swastika and why that's very relevant.
	But it's so obviously satire, isn't it?
	It's unbelievable that this is criminal at all.
	Well, that's blasphemy.
	What's happening to this country?
	We go to the first link.
	We can see just the country we live in.
	Just to remind everyone, this is modern Britain.
	Keep it in mind.
	This is a place in which you will accept the ideology.
	I mean, literally, this is Propaganda Street in, I don't know, Pride Reich.
	Anyway, but we shall move to the next one here because we also have the fact that the police very much up and sold on this for people who may not know in Britain.
	The police meant to be a non-partisan organisation, ideally.
	And that's clear partisanship, isn't it?
	Because Stonewall...
	Oh, yes.
	Next.
	Sorry.
	Just the next car as well, having that.
	And the reason this is very relevant is because Stonewall have now been outed as wanting to transition three-year-olds.
	I think it was two-year-olds, wasn't it?
	Oh, was it?
	Up to two-year-olds, yeah.
	Oh, great.
	Why wait another year?
	It's even worse, yeah.
	We go to the next one here, John.
	It's just the same thing, which is just for anyone who's unaware, which is yes, the police force are entirely political, in case this is a shock to you.
	And, well, this is why what happened happened.
	So to tell the story, just chronologically, Mr.
	Lawrence Fox was musing one day with his Twitter account and thought, that flag looks awfully sunny, and put four of them together and made a new profile picture, as you can see there.
	It didn't make me laugh when I saw it, because obviously it's satirising the fact that it's a new regime that can't be questioned, that if you question it, you get your life destroyed.
	I mean, that's evident just from looking at what he's done here.
	Yeah, I mean, they might send the police around and arrest you for blaspheming against the ideology.
	He just proves his point more, doesn't it?
	That would be a totalitarian.
	God, we don't live there.
	Anyway, so moving on to the next one, we have the fact that the response to this, of course, was people from the Green Party calling for him to be arrested because they wanted to prove the point in real time.
	You see, this is a hate crime.
	She's calling on the Police and Crime Committee to investigate him under the Met Police for a post- Yep.
	This is the same Green Party as well, that are more than happy to actually cheer on actual criminal behaviour in that recently there were, I think it was Animal Rebellion, like an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, just going to Waitrose in London and pouring loads of milk on the floor, like children, and they're just like, yes, these are the groups we support.
	These are their values, but also the Green Party being, you know, wokest as well.
	You could also see the fact that they're personally hurt by the woke flag being pointed out to be what it is.
	And the reason they take that so personally is because it reflects reality, of course.
	Because when it comes to it, I mean, they both have something in common, Nazism and woke ideology, which is, well, race socialism, for one.
	Oh yeah, they're fixated by race as a primary animating political principle, and that's not exactly the behaviour of a normal, healthy political movement, is it?
	Like they live, it's just the glasses they put on to view the entire world through a racial lens, and it's why she got so butthurt about that.
	Also, Twitter, very butthurt about that, because if you hear the next link here, Lawrence was quickly banned for that one.
	He managed to get a deal where he deleted it, then got his account back, but there we are, and he seems to have just done it again, because as you can see, which is very funny.
	But that's not where the story ended, of course, and that's why you're not making a segment, because we've spoken about that last time.
	However, now we have the literal police visits.
	I'm not kidding either, for people who might be confused.
	As you can see here, this is a live stream he put up of where someone he knew, someone who retweeted his original image, had done that and then was getting visits by the police saying that he was going to be arrested for this.
	So he went down with Harry Miller, you may know, the Faircock guy.
	We've had him on the podcast before.
	Yeah, to defend him.
	Harry Miller being famous because he was visited for liking a limerick.
	So the police came round to quite check his thinking.
	So, he's very familiar with this sort of thing.
	He is also a former police officer, so he knows that a lot of what they're doing here is beyond the powers that they're granted in the first place, which makes it even worse, because they're going out of their way to do something which isn't strictly legal.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't think we can play the clip because it's just so long, but you can see the fact that in the video if you watch it yourself, Harry Miller being an ex-police officer just keeps advising them, and he's just like, look, by the way, under pace, like, you actually haven't done your duty to even get to an arrest, never mind, you know, shoving him in an interrogation room for this.
	Like, none of this makes sense, this isn't legal, and I'm not going to let you do it.
	And they say, well, if you're not going to let us in to arrest this guy, we'll arrest you for obstruction.
	And he goes, okay.
	For reminding them of the law and potentially making them avoid getting themselves in trouble.
	Yes.
	So they arrested him for obstruction, shoved him in handcuffs because, you know, he's a threat to the public, and then shoved him in the paddy wagon and then took him to the police station.
	As you can see here, he has absolutely no chill.
	In response to this, which I love.
	I love Harry Miller.
	Interview room, Basingstoke, midnight.
	Me.
	Before I commence this interview, I want a copy of section 127 of Communications Act, section 5 of the Public Order Act, and a copy of the Code of Ethics.
	The police say, you're not conducting this interview, we are.
	Harry Miller, that's what you think.
	I love how little of a fuck he gets.
	Sorry for swearing, but it's so true.
	Well, he knows the law and he's confident that he can outmaneuver them, and fair play to him.
	I know that if I were ever to be arrested, he would be the person I would want in my corner.
	Yeah, I mean, just like, you know, living police officer, lawyer, and legend, all in one.
	And it worked, because if you go to the next one here, you can see the fact that, update, he's been released, no charge.
	He didn't do anything wrong.
	Literally.
	And was able to presumably annoy them enough that they just let him go.
	Like, I've got better things to do, like arrest people for tweets.
	So being annoying actually works, of getting out of being arrested, apparently.
	Seems to.
	But, of course, they didn't just arrest Harry.
	They then arrested the chap in question, who had reposted the original image, the criminal meme, as it is called.
	And in the next image we can see this, in which the police explain to Harry The man they're arresting.
	Someone has been caused anxiety based on your social media post.
	And that's why you're being arrested.
	Over a meme.
	Someone got anxiety.
	I don't know how you even define that.
	I mean, what does that even mean?
	Just I'm a bit butthurt.
	Therefore, send him to jail, Governor.
	I mean, seeing Muslims take over Speaker's Corner gives me anxiety, but they're not going to arrest them anytime soon.
	Don't have the manpower.
	And, er, we shall see the clip itself if we play.
	Nope.
	Does which Hampshire Police would realise how ridiculous this is?
	It is ridiculous.
	What did it need to come to this?
	What did it need to come to?
	Tell us why he investigated it to this level.
	Cos I don't understand.
	I posted something that he posted.
	You come to arrest me, you don't arrest him.
	Why has it come to this?
	Why am I in cuffs?
	Because of something he shared, then I shared.
	Because someone has been caused, obviously, anxiety based upon your social media post.
	That's why you've been arrested.
	It just makes no sense.
	So, for people who couldn't hear, he's asking, okay, so Lawrence is literally right there, live-streaming.
	I retweeted his tweet, and I'm the one being arrested, not him.
	Which makes even less sense.
	And the officer explains that, well, the person was offended by your sharing, not the original...
	It's just mad, but we all know the real reason, which is if they arrested Lawrence Fox, him being a big political activist and leader of the Reclaim Party, this law would be gone tomorrow.
	That's exactly what I said, was going to say, sorry.
	They would immediately lose the power, the tyrannical power they actually have, which is to arrest people for political opinions the police don't like.
	Well, they're targeting the little guys, aren't they?
	They're not targeting prominent people.
	I mean, all the things we've said on this podcast, we haven't been arrested, whereas, I mean, stuff like that, it's not really on par with what we do day in, day out, and yet we've not been paid a visit.
	No, I mean, some expert sat at home, you know, likes a retweet or something, please come round, and the police can do that, and they can enforce the ideology, you know, you can't right speak against us, without kicking too much of a fuss that they reckon their powers might be taken away.
	It's so obviously a two-tiered police system where they only enforce it on people who don't have the power to fight them back either in the courts or publicly.
	At least Lawrence Fox was there to actually document it because this stuff must just go on all the time and we don't hear about it because it's not national news.
	It's not even really local news often.
	It's over 3,000 convictions every year.
	We wrote to the Ministry of Justice before, and that was the number they gave me.
	And you'd see it ramp up.
	It's probably even higher now in 2022.
	It's very easy convictions.
	It's very easy work.
	They also love doing it because they love enforcing their ideology.
	And so calling them woke Nazis with a woke Nazi image...
	Yeah.
	Well, they're only going to prove it.
	It's all the more frustrating if someone's ever been burgled or had some violent crime happen to them.
	And then the police are busying themselves with this.
	And they're like, oh, sorry, we can't solve this theft.
	We can't solve this assault.
	Manpower issues.
	Yeah, we've got manpower issues because there are some mean tweets out there that we need to sort the world out, apparently.
	And this is the revealing aspect because you could argue, well, it's the laws.
	The police have to do it if they don't want...
	No.
	They can choose to ignore this.
	They could do that.
	They don't.
	They choose to ignore the burglaries.
	Well, the police have the power to prioritise what's more important, don't they?
	Exactly.
	They can have multiple calls and they can have a limited amount of manpower and then they can just choose to enforce the laws that actually matter.
	But they also make, as he points out, the immediate decision not to arrest Lawrence Fox, even though they know Lawrence has posted this, they know he's right there, live-streaming them, but they arrest the little guy instead.
	Ugh.
	So revealing.
	However, it has led to, of course, some fun, even if we have to live in this hellhole and campaign against it.
	We're going to have fun while doing it.
	As you can see here, I love this.
	Just this headline.
	Police criticized over arrest for gay swastika posts.
	That's a great headline.
	That's quite the headline.
	Gay swastikas?
	Not on my watch.
	So right here.
	The 51-year-old former soldier had shared an image of gay and transgender pride flags in the shape of a swastika.
	Because, you know, representative reality.
	Guidance issued by the police, National Standards Body last week, emphasised that people involved in political and social debate must not be stigmatised because someone was offended.
	That longer that did.
	So there you have it.
	Okay, here's some advice.
	Please don't carry out this law.
	Well, it's the law.
	So the police want to carry it out.
	So this advice means nothing.
	It comes down to the law.
	Section 127 has to be scrapped.
	That's just how it happens.
	Donna Jones, the elected police chief for the area, criticized the officers yesterday after they arrested the former member of the Royal Green Jackets and Harry Miller.
	The veteran, who has requested anonymity, contacted Miller and Fox and told them that officers had advised him to, quote, His neighbours?
	Who's he living next to?
	Members of Parliament.
	But also, you know, again, the almost iron curtain mentality of how you should live your life.
	Are you going to open up the curtain and look at the neighbours?
	Oh, can I post this tweet?
	I don't know.
	But do you remember the guy in charge of Czechoslovakia, his Greengrocer story?
	In which there was a Green Goser who put a sign out that said, Workers of the World Unite.
	Not a communist.
	So the guy was like, I'm not a communist either.
	Why do you do this?
	And he was like, well, you know, we live in the system.
	I have to put up a sign of allegiance.
	And that's that.
	Whether or not you actually believe it.
	And this guy, they want him to check with his neighbours to collect, you know, to make sure whether or not his speech is blasphemy.
	I'm pretty sure if you ask your neighbours, just normal people, do you care about if I put out this tweet, they'd be like, what?
	What's wrong with you?
	Why are you asking me, you weirdo?
	So they did that, which, you know, is Orwellian on the face of it.
	That's what happened to Harry.
	And it was declared illegal in Harry's case, so there you are.
	It's illegal again.
	But they went further.
	They then said that he would have to pay a £60 fine so he could go on a course to educate himself about the offence he had caused.
	To whom?
	And what offence?
	Also, who cares?
	I mean, haven't they called, like, didn't they call the Conservatives fascists and Nazis at some point?
	Yeah, it's only offence one way, against the new state ideology.
	Which, there you have it.
	I mean, this is just how we live our lives.
	I mean, again, I mentioned 3,000 people a year, minimum, get convicted of this.
	It's so depressing.
	For comparison, I mean, what is it, in Konstantin Kissen's book, he mentions, in Russia it's 600 a year.
	I think you think of the different population sizes.
	Yeah, it's a much larger country and supposedly much stricter rules.
	We enforce them more, however.
	Miller, 47, and Fox, 44, run a pressure group called the Bad Law Project.
	They arranged to confront officers in front of a camera crew.
	The activists delivered documents to the officers, including a proposal that they would pay £100 to attend the re-education course.
	Because, you know, they'd have to rip it to shreds.
	That's like inconvenience money as well.
	It's not like it's a large fine.
	It's just like, well, that's kind of a nuisance.
	Yeah, it's just to make you learn your lesson.
	I'm not going out to dinner one less day this year.
	This year?
	This month?
	Well, I mean, it's a day's wages, really.
	Just take it from you.
	Jones, the police and crime commissioner, said she had raised the matter with the force.
	Quote, I am concerned about both the proportionality and necessity of the police's response to this incident, she said, when incidents on social media receive two visits from the police officers, but burglaries and domestic abuse break-ins don't get anything.
	Something is wrong.
	Which...
	Absolutely.
	She's certainly right.
	And to keep in mind, however, she's a Tory.
	She's not a police officer.
	She's an elected representative.
	Police and crime commissioners are elected in this country.
	So, great.
	But that doesn't really mean anything.
	I don't get what her point is fundamentally when you get down to it.
	I know it's not her who passed all the laws of the MPs, but there's the point where she's like, well, it's just silly that this gets two police responses.
	As if we deal with all the other crime, then we would be okay to deal with thought crime.
	No.
	It's the law that has to be changed.
	But the Conservatives have been talking about this stuff, and they always point out how terrible it is, and then do absolutely nothing to change it.
	And it's really frustrating, because they have the majority in Parliament to be able to just say, well, we can scrap this entirely.
	We don't need to do this.
	This is the thing.
	You hear from MPs, I'm doing a war on work.
	Pass the law.
	That's all it takes.
	Just one law.
	Just one section.
	If we go to the next link here, you can see...
	It's all hot air.
	Here you are.
	Here's the link.
	Kiss you, I don't know, too busy claiming expenses.
	There you have it.
	It's one section of one act.
	Which is destroying this country's ability to have any conversation.
	You could do that in a morning in Parliament.
	Easy.
	However, this isn't the most frightening aspect to all of this, and actually the most frightening aspect comes from our good friend Nick Dixon on GB News, which, if we're the next link here, they're talking about it on Headliners, and he mentions that it's actually way worse than we think, because they were questioned about this.
	Well...
	The Daily Mail, they published the Progress Swastika, the Swastika of Peace, and, well, why aren't you arresting them as well?
	Because they've also broken the law.
	They've put it on the internet.
	Same law.
	Would apply.
	And apparently they responded by saying they just didn't have enough manpower to arrest the entire Daily Mail.
	LAUGHTER If you go out in force, apparently the police won't arrest you.
	You won't have charges filed against you if you just do mass criminality according to the police.
	Their words...
	The obvious thing is that...
	They're just getting out of a bad PR thing because if you press them on an individual case and why they attended it, they'll be like, well, someone was offended by it.
	We've got to do this.
	Again, it's the big boys.
	Daily Mail could sue us.
	They'd actually might get the law overturned if they started feeling the wrath of it, which they should, frankly.
	And maybe one of the only solutions to this is to report the Daily Mail en masse to the police until they get a visit.
	I'm not even kidding.
	Seriously, I don't know how else we're going to break this.
	It would be quite funny to do that just in general.
	Look, MPs, everyone has to feel the full force of the law as written.
	And, well, if they do something that's against that law, they deserve to keep getting hit by it until they overturn the law.
	But anyway, we shall go to Nick.
	They were in a country where rape has been ignored and covered up for decades, while a social media post will get you investigated.
	I mean, it is that absurd.
	At one point, I think five police officers were involved.
	Absolutely mad.
	And let me add one more thing.
	Alex McCarron filmed it, and he said at one point, he asked an officer, why didn't you then arrest the editorial staff of the Daily Mail who published this?
	And they said, we don't have the manpower.
	So they would arrest everyone if they could.
	It's purely a manpower question.
	It's not a question of whether that's a good idea.
	It's purely we can't physically arrest everyone.
	On a previous occasion with parallels to what happened in this viral video, one police officer said to somebody that was accused of a so-called hate crime is that we need to check your thinking.
	Yes.
	This is dark stuff.
	This is dystopian, isn't it, Lewis?
	And the fact is that they said to the dude, did they not, you've got to pay £60 to be re-educated, which is really scary, or they say we're going to arrest you.
	They offered him to basically buy his way out of it.
	Well, if you pay this and go to this course, he's like, no, I won't.
	So yeah, you can now buy your way out of it.
	Absolutely disgusting.
	We don't have a police force.
	We have some sort of weird enforcement arm of the woke ideology, or whatever you want to call it.
	100% true.
	Absolutely.
	I also love, you know, Schaefer there just being an American, just looking down like, what the hell?
	His half doesn't even believe this is happening.
	He's still at that level.
	I think it's, um, was it the Met Police that arrested them as well?
	Um, So I believe it was the Hertfordshire police.
	Hertfordshire, yeah.
	But we shall go forward because...
	Hampshire, okay.
	But you can see in the next link here, this story blew up some more because, of course, in the same period you have Posey Parker being visited for being untoward about pedophiles, which the police in Wiltshire did eventually put out a statement saying...
	Maybe we shouldn't visit people for being untoward about people.
	The thing is, this happened in Wiltshire.
	We're probably indirectly paying council tax to these police officers.
	You don't see it.
	I mean, it went up recently for the Police and Crime Commission.
	I think that's 6% our council tax for that.
	So, wonderful.
	I didn't vote in that because it was a pointless endeavour.
	Good work.
	But we should go to the next one here, just because even the police are starting to notice that they're stupid, or at least look stupid.
	And this isn't brilliant, but it's funny, to say the least.
	You can see that hate crime policing makes us look clueless.
	No.
	You're very clued up about what you're doing.
	As said, you only go after certain kinds of people.
	You don't go after anyone else if they're being slightly offensive to the right.
	It's not a thing that you ever would be bothered by.
	The police approach to recording non-crime hate incidences has at times, quote, caused people to question whether or not we know what we're doing.
	That's putting it a little bit lightly, isn't it?
	No, you know what you're doing.
	It's not playing a stupid game.
	Stephen Watson, who heads Greater Manchester Police, said officers needed to be given the confidence to tell the public that some things were, quote, just not a police matter.
	What are you talking about?
	Blasphemy is always a police matter.
	Shouldn't be.
	Sir, it's always a police matter for an oppressive regime to shut down anyone who criticizes the ideology.
	And that's where we live.
	That is just where we live.
	Okay?
	We've been that way since, you know, the Communication Act was passed and then enforced in this way.
	Which is, you know, 3,000 a year people minimum getting convicted Of blasphemy, frankly.
	That's how we live.
	He says in here, but the non-crime hate incidents being a whole other thing, 120,000 people in the past five years have had their actions recorded by the police, even though their behaviour did not meet a criminal threshold.
	Massive waste of time, then.
	120,000 people who should not have been investigated.
	But also, why would any of this be legitimate?
	Why would you have a database of 120,000 people doing nothing wrong if you're the police?
	No, it's because you're the starting.
	Well, it's unnecessary overreach, isn't it?
	If they're collecting large dossiers of information on loads of people, well, then they can action that if they do anything more significant.
	I mean, I remember we spoke about it.
	If you do a deep vetting process on someone for certain kinds of jobs, you can see if they have non-crime hate instances.
	Of course, yeah.
	Which means they don't get the job.
	So anyone who blasphemes against wokery just can't get into professional situations anymore within the United Kingdom.
	You can't get those jobs.
	They're off limits to you.
	There you have it.
	However, he cited a case trying to defend all this crap.
	Fiona Pilkington.
	No relation, presumably.
	Who killed herself and her disabled daughter in 2007 after more than a decade of abuse and bullying.
	Incidents were reported to the police, but treated in isolation, whereas recording could have ultimately built a picture of antisocial behaviour and harassment.
	Well, that's harassment first and foremost, isn't it?
	It's not.
	Harassment is one thing, but then isolated incidents.
	Like, that guy posted one thing, didn't he?
	But he's defending this on the basis, like, we keep all these incidents so we can build a picture.
	It's obviously not helpful.
	Sorry, you're going to build a picture of it.
	You've got 120,000 people, and you're going to build a picture on one person who might be being bullied.
	A needle in a haystack.
	Yeah, that's too much information to have a high-resolution image of what's actually going on.
	Yeah.
	Plus, I mean, there's the fact that you arrest over 3,000 people every year for social media posts.
	I mean, when you break it down, I mean, that's 24,000 non-crime hate incidences every year that you're looking into.
	So, yeah, I don't think all of a sudden, if you have all this stuff, you're going to be able to help anyone like her.
	I don't think you would have helped anyone like her.
	I don't think you even help with any of this.
	Nothing helps.
	All this does is hurt people.
	But there's also the aspect of the fact...
	You know, he says in here, last week, officers were criticized for arresting an army veteran who shared an image of a gay swastika.
	I like how they repeatedly call it a gay swastika as well, as if that's just self-explanatory.
	But if, you know, well, we must have all these non-Cray Hens incidents because we could help Fiona.
	And it's like, no, you don't do anything to help anyone.
	I mean, there you have it.
	But also, as for a minute, as if you had this stuff, you'd be able to help anyone or could help anyone with any of this.
	Like, no.
	I mean, you don't investigate any burglaries, so the idea that you would investigate the harassment and abuse that led to her killing herself and her daughter, no you wouldn't.
	It's ridiculous.
	So there you have it.
	I mean, there's just the reality of where we live.
	It's literal hell in regards to speech laws.
	Everyone thinks it's fine in upper echelons of society because they don't get persecuted with the law like everyone else does.
	And, well, I think it's about time the law applied to them.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, well.
	That was depressing.
	More for enforcing the law, mate.
	Well, I'll tell you what's not depressing, though, is this good news.
	Good news, everyone.
	I know, good news, everyone!
	Dr Farnsworth here.
	So, the Tavistock Gender Clinic has been forced to shut over safety fears.
	So this is an article from the Times, a perfectly establishment...
	Outlet, you would say.
	And they've been going pretty hard against the Tavistock Clinic, which has been forced to close for, I guess I can call it malpractice, although they haven't explicitly done that because they might get sued, but I'm happy to go out on a limb and say that.
	Obvious malpractice.
	This is appalling stuff that they've done, and if you're not up to speed, I'll fill you in on all the details of what this clinic does.
	Basically, it is the grooming clinic, isn't it?
	If you were to put it in a sentence...
	Yeah, in modern parlance, it's the groomer clinic.
	So, the article says, the NHS is shutting down its gender identity clinic, this is the only one by the way, for children after a review found that it failed vulnerable under 18s.
	I mean, that's putting it lightly, isn't it?
	Who could have seen this coming?
	I could have told you that many years ago, but at least it's getting done, I suppose.
	The Gender Identity Service at Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust has been ordered to close by next spring.
	It will be replaced by regional centres at existing children's hospitals offering more holistic care with strong links to mental health services.
	And that's a little bit of jargon there, and it might not be so easy to understand what they mean by holistic care and strong links to mental health services.
	Thankfully, I'm a psychologist.
	I'm used to reading this nonsense.
	And therefore I can translate it.
	So I think this will mainly be addressing the view that under 18s that go to the Tavistock Clinic are likely to have other mental health conditions that are going untreated.
	And from what I've gathered from actually covering the Tavistock Clinic before, Is that they talk to the patient, the child, normally, although they do treat adults as well, and they basically wait for them to mention something about gender dysphoria, and then that's like the green light, like, go, get them on puberty blockers.
	Stab, stab, stab!
	It's pretty much like that.
	And I know that me and you covered on the podcast previously that someone only spoke to a counsellor for three hours before getting prescribed puberty blockers, which is appalling.
	At the very least, you want multiple sessions, many, many hours before any treatment resolution, no matter what the treatment is, no matter what the condition is.
	You don't just prescribe something after three hours of talking to them.
	That's really...
	People might not like what I'm about to say, but I remember, because I watched What is a Woman the other day, and there's a section with Jordan Peterson, and he explains why might some of this.
	Most of them, I probably think, are groomers and just going along with it.
	But he mentions the fact that in Canada, for example, as a psychologist, apparently it's now basically illegal to misgender someone.
	So if someone comes in, you can't talk to them and find out if it's a mental health problem and solve it that way.
	Because you'd be breaking the law, yeah.
	So instead they just go, yeah, you have whatever you want.
	And I do wonder if there's some of that there.
	Even so, lots of people have come out, which I will get onto in a second.
	Either way, it demonstrates the damage this ideology does.
	Yeah, but it seems to me that, particularly in the Tavistock Clinic, it's more of an avenue for activism rather than actual medicine being practiced here.
	Certainly not in keeping with lots of the clinical psychological literature on the matter, because...
	That's really inconclusive, and the fact that this is probably the policy of giving people hormones and puberty blockers, that's so damaging to someone that that's probably one of the most destructive treatments for any mental health condition there is.
	I mean, we have things like electroconvulsive therapy, where you're putting high amounts of voltage through people's heads, but even that is a last resort in extreme circumstances for people with, like, Extreme schizophrenia that cannot function in society.
	And I think that for many of the people that come in, that sort of level of treatment is so unnecessary.
	It's known as a palliative measure.
	It's treating the symptoms of the condition rather than the actual cause, in that they're making them feel better, in that their dysphoria goes away, perhaps even temporarily.
	But then, of course, now they've...
	Basically mutilated themselves.
	Their body will never be the same again just for something that's psychological which in theory could go away.
	It's all up here.
	None of that is correct medicine.
	No.
	You should encourage people to make things that are good for their long-term development and for one, having a family is pretty good for your mental well-being and preventing them from doing that by chemically castrating them effectively through the drugs that they give them to transition is going to prevent them from Having that stabilising force in their life.
	So, the article carries on to say, the Tavistock's Gender Identity Development Service Clinic has been accused of rushing children into life-altering treatment on puberty blockers, which is kind of supporting the impression I already had.
	The paediatrician, Dr Hilary Cass, who is leading the review of the service, issued a series of recommendations today for a radical overhaul of how the NHS treats young people who are questioning their gender identity.
	And this is very welcome.
	It seems like it's going...
	She found that the Tavistock Clinic was not a safe or viable long-term option and that other mental health issues were overshadowed when gender was raised by children referred to the clinic, which is exactly what we've been saying repeatedly for a long time.
	Cass, former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, The existing model of a sole provider for gender services should be scrapped as it failed to meet the holistic needs of distressed and vulnerable teenagers.
	I think what she's trying to say is that through having a specific focus, you're going to gather lots of ideologues that are going to go there specifically to reinforce this ideology.
	Whereas if you get a more general practitioner, they're less likely to have bought into this nonsense, more likely to treat it like gender dysphoria, more like a condition, which is what they need.
	Very long-winded way of saying they're a bunch of groomers, can't trust them.
	Yes.
	And something that's very positive is I've included a screenshot here of a poll on the Telegraph article.
	Is the NHS right to shut the Tavistock Gender Clinic?
	96% of users agree with me, which obviously I voted yes, because come on.
	Are you full grooming or not?
	Apparently 4% of the public are like, eh, I don't know.
	But this is the times.
	They're not really...
	They're not massively right-wing, are they?
	So if this is the public mood, then we're out for blood, basically.
	Yeah, well, this organisation funded by the taxpayers has been practically mutilating children for years.
	And everyone was just like, oh, it's fine because of ideology.
	So I wanted to look into why exactly this has happened in the first place.
	How have we got this small victory?
	I mean, we've still got some distance to go, but it's a change in the right direction.
	So first and foremost is that there was a massive surge in cases, which kind of brings things up in a clinician's mind that, okay, there's something external going on here.
	So there's another article from the Times here, and it reads, 1,807 in 2016-17.
	But there was something more puzzling.
	The female referrals, once a fraction of the males, now made up 70% from 32 to 1,265.
	The number of teenage girls with gender dysphoria had risen by 5,000% in seven years.
	So this is obviously indicative of some sort of change, right?
	Imagine if this was a schizophrenia graph, right?
	I mean, the results would be, holy God, what is happening to society to make everyone so mentally ill?
	Over seven years as well.
	That's a tiny amount of time in terms of this.
	Something's really messing up the youth of today, and instead we get the lecture of, I know this is people expressing themselves.
	So yes, one of the reasons that women or young girls are particularly susceptible to trans ideology is...
	A predisposition towards autism in particular.
	So if we move on to the next article here, autistic girls seeking answers are seizing on sex change.
	So this is from January of 2021.
	So this has been an ongoing dialogue in Britain, Turf Island as it's known.
	So we've actually been quite successful at pushing back, but I'll get onto that in a second.
	So it reads, Into
	transitioning.
	I don't know why I did the quotation marks.
	I'm laughing.
	I just saw in the chat someone say, oh, women most affected by trends in fashion.
	I am shocked.
	So, there's also been a series of prominent resignations and whistleblowing in the Tavistock Centre.
	So, here's an article on Quillette.
	Why I resigned from Tavistock.
	Trans-identified children need therapy, not just affirmation and drugs.
	I know.
	Who'd have thought it?
	So it reads, over the past five years there has been a 400% rise in referrals to the Tavistock Centre in North London and it carries on to talk about how there's a climate where it's difficult to push back on These sorts of things.
	and I'm going to read here from another extract.
	Those who advocate an unquestioning affirmation-based approach to trans-identified children often will claim that any delay or hesitation in assisting a child's desired gender transition may cause irreparable psychological harm and even possibly lead to suicide.
	They also typically will cite research purporting to prove that a child who transitions can expect a higher level of psychological health and satisfaction.
	None of these claims align substantially with any robust data or studies in this area, nor do they align with the cases I have encountered over decades as a psychotherapist.
	And this is someone who worked at the Tavistock Clinic basically saying that it's all rubbish and they've got many years of experience and they know the data and they're saying that neither of those align, which is again what we've been saying for ages.
	But wait, that's not all.
	In June last year, There was a whistleblower who said that patients were in danger at a controversial gender clinic, the Tavistock Clinic, and sues the trust and claims that doctors were told to hide concerns for the safety of young people who are being rushed into taking puberty blockers.
	This is even worse because this is someone who worked as the chief of safeguarding, who's meant to be looking out for, you know, the well-being of the children coming into the clinic.
	However, it seems to me that the clinic had an atmosphere or a climate of avoiding her entirely and just saying...
	Well, you know, it's about when the chief of safeguarding is suing you because of your lack of safeguarding.
	Well, yeah.
	They supposedly just sidelined her and had her in a position just in a symbolic way rather than actually allowing her to do her job.
	Safeguarding would be transphobia.
	And just to clarify, she did successfully win her case and won £20,000 from the clinic.
	So it seems like she was vindicated that they were unjustly doing so.
	So there are a number of cases of former patients suing the clinic as well.
	So this article from the Daily Mail says, My first thought as I came around was, oh God, what have I done?
	A man suing the NHS over trans surgery he bitterly regrets has waived his anonymity to share his ordeal.
	And I'm just going to read a little bit from this.
	Richie Herron, a bright and articulate civil servant, I don't think that's possible, from Newcastle, life over the past four years has become unbearable.
	It takes him ten minutes to empty his bladder, a process as painful as it is slow.
	Any sex drive is long gone.
	In fact, he says his crotch is numb, shell-shocked from the damage done to him under the apparent care of the NHS. Battling mental health issues, and after decades of suppressing his homosexuality, Richie, 35, had thought the answer was to become a woman, but instead he says he was fast-tracked into making the biggest mistake of his life and left infertile, incontinent, and with ongoing pain.
	So, yes, this is a clear case of someone that's been failed, because...
	You could have addressed, say, the underlying health issues, the suppressed homosexuality, and this could have been avoided.
	With proper psychological care, this person could have avoided mutilating themselves.
	I just can't get over how it's another one of those instances where you look at it now and you think, oh, we are in the future.
	Because I remember, I mean, what was it, like four years ago or something, even two years ago, when Carl was saying, man, a few years we're going to get all these stories in which we have loads of people saying about how they've been led down this path and they're going to end up suing.
	And I said, well, yeah, we're in the future now.
	We're at the point in which that's all true.
	And we go to the next bed.
	Talking to Carl, talking of Carl even...
	Here is a book club on Abigail Schreier's irreversible damage, which talks about all the damage that these treatments can do to people, which he did with Harry, which is definitely worth checking out if you want a full picture of the damage that it does to the human body, and very much worth looking up if you actually want to have an informed discussion about this thing, because just hitting people with the damage they can do to themselves is the most emotionally impactful way that you can get across to them.
	Just like, do you want to be...
	Infertile and incontinent for the rest of your life.
	If the answer is no, well maybe reconsider your decision.
	I know, it's a no-brainer for us, isn't it?
	So yes, moving on, this is another case which I'm not going to go into too much because I think it was one of the first segments I did on this podcast is the case of, I think it's Chiara Bell.
	She recently did a story after this cancelling of the Tavistock Clinic came out and she says, what they did was despicable.
	I should have never changed gender at 16.
	And she's talking about how...
	She regretted after six years of living as a male, she regretted it, wanted to change back, and she sued them in 2020 and won, which is another suing.
	I mean, they must be hemorrhaging cash, if nothing else.
	So yes, also worth mentioning that they went through the transition and they want them to stop prescribing drugs to children entirely, which is the sensible choice, obviously, isn't it?
	I know.
	That's gone a bit far, hasn't it?
	Mm-hmm.
	How about we don't give literal castration drugs to kids?
	I know, this would have been a no-brainer about ten years ago, wouldn't it?
	So, it's also worth mentioning that data on things like comorbid, which I'll explain what that word means in a second, conditions with gender dysphoria have been emerging.
	There's been a lot more research, because previously the defence that the ideologues have had is, well, there's not much research, we've got to help someone somehow...
	Which is a terrible...
	So let's just experiment on kids.
	What could go wrong?
	Well, obviously that's nonsense, but there are research papers out there that point out...
	So this one is titled, Comorbidities Among Patients with Gender Dysphoria.
	Comorbidity just means a condition co-occurring with another condition.
	The way you do this is you look at the prevalence in a population of someone with gender dysphoria, and then you look at all of the other conditions that co-occur and the rates in which they co-occur.
	I've seen research papers before that have suggested that gender dysphoria co-occurs with other dysphoric conditions, suggesting that, you know, it is a dysphoria to be treated like a mental illness.
	And you have the other dysphoria, like, you know, we've talked about before, the woman who identified as being blind, and then her and her...
	Psychologist who should be struck off blinded her with drain cleaner because she identified as being blind.
	Affirmative care?
	What's wrong with that?
	Obviously this is horrific, terrible.
	Psychologists should never practice again because that's obviously a mental illness.
	No one's going to say, oh well, she was just born into a body with no eyes.
	I mean, it's madness.
	There's no way that you would accept that.
	But when it comes to gender, all of a sudden, people are more willing because of the...
	Ideology.
	Yes, exactly.
	So, the study found that of the people with gender dysphoria, 33.7% had major depressive disorder, 20.5% had a specific phobia, 15.7% had adjustment disorder, and...
	I think out of the entire population, 62.7% of patients had at least one psychiatric comorbidity.
	So that's over half of people had some underlying mental health condition that they had diagnosed, which is massive.
	I mean, that's a massive red flag to me.
	Other studies as well have found that in their lifetime, people with gender dysphoria are about 72% out of 100 of the time more likely to experience...
	No, that's not right, is it?
	So, I think it's 72% of people with gender dysphoria will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime.
	That's what I was trying to say.
	Sorry, I'm a bit tongue-tied with all the research here.
	So, there's another study here as well, which is a 2020 review of mental health comorbidities, which is, because it's a review of lots of different studies, it's a bit more reliable.
	So, it includes 37 studies published within the last five years, and it reads as follows.
	Among all of the psychiatric disorders considered, the most frequent are depression, suicidal ideation and anxiety, other pathologies that, although to a lesser extent, also show a higher prevalence than the cis population.
	annoying trans ideologue language but still are substance abuse, eating disorders, suicide attempts, autism spectrum disorders or disassociative disorders and yes, so it seems to me here that the science is it Yes.
	Unfortunately, this research paper in particular then goes on to talk about de-pathologising Transgenderism.
	So even though they've got all that data, the interpretation is still wrong.
	But I thought it'd be good to pick out a paper which is ideologically opposed to me, but still shows the same data with the same thing that I'm saying to validate my point further.
	There's also growing research on the damage that puberty blockers do.
	So recently, FDA officials warn of brain swelling, vision loss in minors using puberty blockers.
	So, puberty blocker known as gonadotropin, which is an unusual name for it, releases the hormone GNRH substances, receiving a warning from the US Food and Drug Administration officials earlier this month, saying the drug could cause brain swelling loss of vision, as it says in the title.
	Officials said a plausible association between using puberty blockers and pseudo tumour cerebri which displays symptoms similar to a brain tumour was identified in six young girls between the ages of five to twelve.
	You should not be taking that thing in the first place in my opinion.
	Five were undergoing So yes...
	I mean, that's just...
	Because I remember when we did radiology at university, and we were looking at breast cancers.
	Like, is it worth actually doing the treatment on someone to deal with their breast cancer if they're at a certain age?
	And if they were very young, it's, you know, you get worried about giving them radiation.
	There's obviously the long life effects.
	There were huge ethical debates about what was right and when was the correct thing to do.
	When it comes to this, it's just like, yeah, screw it.
	Give a five-year-old drugs.
	I gave them some kind of brain tumour.
	Well, you know...
	I mean, any reasonable person would look at this and say, even if, you know, the transitioning is a cure for the gender dysphoria, is it really worth it?
	I mean, I would argue no, because all of these horrible side effects are just not worth, you know, feeling uncomfortable.
	I know, radical, isn't it?
	Five-year-old puberty blockers!
	So how are we?
	No, it's atrocious.
	Oh, trust me, the right wing...
	Sorry, I'll just...
	Another reason that I think that this has happened in Britain, and we're one of the first countries in the Anglosphere to push back on this, is that we have a flourishing population of turfs on the island.
	They've roosted on the island.
	They're here to stay.
	Stable population.
	As covered in a previous episode of the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, where I said Turf Island is number one in transphobia, and this is how trans ideologues view Britain as this sort of bastion of transphobia.
	In the world, and I think that probably has something to do with it, that we're not receptive to this nonsense, or less so than most other nations, which is nice.
	I mean, it'd be nice to be more reasonable.
	Did you say my mum's a turf?
	Yeah, you don't know the song?
	It became a slogan of the turfs, just your mum's a turf is what they shout at the trans lunatics who aren't protesting them.
	So I don't care what you believe, but your mum gave birth to you.
	I've not heard of that.
	It's quite funny.
	So it's also worth mentioning as well that Which you mentioned in the previous segment, actually, that Stonewall was forced to clarify a tweet which said two-year-olds could be transgender, and they were basically forced to publish a clarification that was very wishy-washy to try and get out of it, because of the public backlash in Britain against this stuff.
	They said they didn't support physically transitioning kids at that age, but mentally...
	There you have it.
	Okay, fine.
	And to end, I thought, we've not seen enough mental illness, so how about a bit of cognitive dissonance here?
	So Pink News seems to act as if this is some kind of...
	Sorry, Pink News.
	So they seem to think that it's some sort of victory for them, so they've tried to present it in this article titled, The NHS Tavistock Youth Gender Clinic to be Replaced Under Sweeping Trans Healthcare Reforms.
	They've tried to make it out as if, well, we had one place, now we're going to have many places that are going to open up regionally instead, which will give us better access to healthcare.
	But I don't think they read between the lines of the fact that, yes, you're damaging children, you idiots.
	And the whole clinic's being shut down because of that.
	Well, yeah, they don't mention that once in their article, which is very convenient, isn't it?
	It's almost like they've completely ignored it.
	And they're talking about, oh, this is great.
	We're going to have more clinics, more trans people, more cannon fodder for the ideology.
	But yes, that's the state of Britain at the minute.
	I mean, we've got the wokists in denial.
	We've got some small victories pushing in the right direction for actually protecting children for once, I know.
	I mean, if you give a five-year-old a brain tumour from your...
	I mean, you'd blow your head off.
	Oh, yes, of course.
	It's like the In Bruges thing.
	If you kill a child, you've got to kill yourself, right?
	What?
	What?
	You've not seen the film?
	No.
	No, never mind.
	But yes, obviously this is a good thing, moving in the right direction.
	Hopefully we're going to push back against transitioning in its entirety.
	It should not be a practice that is practiced in the NHS, in my opinion, from my analysis of the evidence.
	And it seems like more and more people are coming around to that point of view, which is good.
	And hopefully things will improve, but they've still got a long way to go.
	On that note, we shall move to something a little more fun.
	Okay.
	So, let's try and have some fun.
	Good.
	End of the day.
	Monday.
	Tough day.
	Let's start with Mum's Comics Feminist Gibberish.
	Do you know who Mum's Comics is?
	No.
	I certainly didn't either.
	Until this weekend, her comics blew up because they're very, very insightful.
	Into her mind.
	And nothing else.
	And I thought we'd enjoy them.
	So we'll start off just with, obviously, a little show here being the fact that analyzing what is a woman is going to be very relevant to this, and you should go and give that a watch.
	Yeah, what is a mum?
	I have no means of reference for understanding this.
	It could be a man, it could be a woman.
	Who knows?
	It's a genuine question we should ask amongst comics, because if we go to the Instagram account, of course, you can see mum's life comics here, and pronouns.
	I really hate the art style.
	It's...
	Yeah, but just on the basis here, I mean, firstly, pronouns in the description, which, oh, that's a big red flag right there, as it always is.
	Why do you need pronouns if you've listed that you're a mum?
	Who knows?
	Who knows?
	But I don't know how much we can do with the father-mother aspect of it, because I don't have kids.
	I'm sure Carl will give his own opinion at some point.
	But I think we're going to go through this, because it's cartoons about her being a mum, right?
	And you think, okay, you know, oh my god, there used to be no laundry.
	Now I've got kids.
	Lots of laundry.
	Ha ha!
	Oh no.
	That's one of the comics.
	Is that really the kind of boomer humour you're going to subject me to?
	No.
	It's going to be like in Clockwork Orange, you're going to have to tie me to the chair.
	That would It'll be okay.
	You know, whatever.
	Some weird boomer mama's making these cartoons.
	Okay, you know.
	The thing is, she's obviously like a leftist lunatic, for one, and I shall demonstrate this with her own cartoons, as we shall see.
	So you see this one here, she has to put out.
	Liberty and justice for all, Black Lives Matter, you know, racial pride flag, pro-woman, pro-choice, my body, my choice.
	Okay, sure, she's a leftist, you might think, but she writes in here.
	I know I'm not alone in feeling that the 4th has become a complicated holiday.
	That hasn't.
	America number one.
	That's all it is for most Americans.
	So here's a post I made last year that I've updated a bit to reflect how I'm feeling this year.
	I've always felt really lucky to live in the United States, but I'm now feeling super scared about the direction of this country has been going in.
	One in which the land of the free is getting less and less free for anyone who isn't a white Christian straight cis male.
	It's pretty much the other way around, isn't it?
	Do you literally just never go out of your house?
	You look after the kids and go teach yoga?
	I'm sure Derek Chauvin's more free, isn't he?
	No, but even just all the basic stuff.
	I mean, like, you know, people losing jobs for being white.
	I mean, you just can't apply for them.
	Christians, yeah, their freedom at an all-time high.
	They love living in Europe.
	It's fantastic.
	That's number one, at least.
	Which is why they're fleeing it to America.
	But it's just mad.
	She doesn't hear it.
	So, until we have true liberty, justice for all, we continue to fight, sending love and solidarity to everyone who is feeling this way today, too.
	Okay, so you're a leftist lunatic.
	That's, you know, normal.
	You know, there's a lot of people online like that.
	There's a lot more of it, though, because if you go to the next one here, she's got a BLM post.
	Because of your reasons.
	Isn't that cultural appropriation?
	You'd think so.
	Bit of meditating there.
	But as we get into the feminist gibberish, I mean, this is where it gets into what her comics are really about.
	The next one here is just the feminist posting, of course.
	She says in here, women will have equality when men share the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.
	Don't they already do that?
	Yeah.
	And they always have.
	And your husband, lady, definitely does.
	Because we've got posts from you about how your relationship works, and it's why she blew up.
	And again, this isn't a story about her.
	Don't contact her.
	Leave her alone.
	The story is the fact that she blew up in the internet sphere, and the story as to why she blew up.
	Which is, people didn't take kindly to how she portrayed her husband, to say the least.
	But just before we get there, of course, she's also against racism.
	That is a tough one.
	Stunning and brave.
	In this day and age.
	Oof!
	Against racism!
	Oof!
	God!
	Oh, man.
	I like that it's written in crayon text as well.
	Extra condescending.
	Yeah, it's just painful.
	Hashtag BLM, I love equality.
	Look at the next one here, we can see also she's very normie.
	She stands with Ukraine.
	Now, don't care about the Ukraine conflict discussion.
	That's not what I'm making this post for, showing it.
	I'm showing this because, right, what is it?
	8 out of 10 Americans can't point to Ukraine on the map?
	Do you think she's in the 2 out of 10 or the 8 out of 10?
	Just have a guess.
	Well, I'm guessing from how you're framing it, she's in the 8 out of 10.
	I think she's probably in the 8 out of 10.
	Just maybe the bigger opinion of me that maybe this sheltered woman does not know where Ukraine is, but I think that might be true.
	Because she's living in absolute luxury, and this is by her own statements.
	If we go to the next one here, this is some post apparently she made.
	She writes in here about her life, in which she says that Ben is an amazing father and husband.
	He carries quite a lot of mental load himself and does a lot around the house.
	He cooks all of our dinners.
	He does almost all of our grocery shopping.
	He pays for all of our bills and maintains our yard.
	He does his own laundry as well.
	So basically she's a parasite is what I'm hearing.
	You know, that's their relationship.
	Do whatever they want, right?
	He does everything.
	I don't know what she does.
	Where's the division of labour there?
	She does the whinging by the sounds of it.
	She does the breakfast and the lunch, I'm going to presume, and looks at the kids whilst he's at work and makes sure they don't touch some glass.
	I don't know what else.
	Makes comics, presumably.
	She probably just plugs in the iPad that children are staring at.
	That's the job.
	Three nights a week, he comes home from work and immediately handles everything Charlie May duties while I head out to teach yoga.
	There you are.
	That's our life.
	Sounds pretty cushy to me.
	Yeah, just an incredibly sheltered individual.
	I'm not surprised by any of those normie leftist opinions at this point.
	It's like, okay, yeah, you literally don't go out.
	You just stare at the kids.
	You don't have to work.
	You don't do any real hardship.
	And you come to the conclusion that America's some racist patriarch and it's keeping you down.
	Keeping a sister down, don't you know, Josh?
	Yeah, America where you're allowed to work as a yoga teacher and support yourself.
	Great.
	And she's even more ungrateful, and there's another reason as to why people didn't like her, and I'm coming around to that opinion, because this is one of her comic series, just the marriage bed, and I guess we'll go through these, and she says in here, Before we had kids, my husband made the bed first thing every morning.
	It was something he took pride in, and I greatly appreciated it.
	Okay, so there we go.
	That's another thing he did.
	You don't.
	He made the bed.
	Every day.
	So that's the first slide there, John.
	And then she says, at some point during our daughter's first year, he stopped making the bed, and I was in no place to take up where he left off, so the bed went unmade.
	She was in no place.
	You can't make your own bed.
	Making a bed?
	Were you mad?
	I think I can hear...
	Can you hear that?
	I think it's Jordan Peterson.
	Yeah!
	Oh, God.
	It's just painful.
	Get your room in order before you try and change the world, I think the phrase is, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	She goes on.
	She says, for almost five years now, our bed has been a mess.
	She doesn't make it.
	Just as you can see, the stupid pillows that women buy to put on the bed have been in the corner.
	Just a small rant.
	I hate these pillows.
	I agree.
	Pillows should be at the side of the bed or under the bed, not on the bed.
	But also, like, they must spend, I mean, everyone's house who has these, 60% of the time not in the correct position and therefore making the whole place look dirty.
	And then the rest of the time they're there and it's just like, that's not worth the effort.
	It's just not worth it.
	It looked tidy without them.
	Looks fine.
	But anyway, follow the side point.
	But she says she never actually makes the bed.
	Why would she?
	Do anything else?
	She says, once every couple of months, I'll walk into our room and find that my husband has made the bed.
	It always feels like an unexpected treat.
	Again, lady, make your own bed.
	If you're missing out, just do it.
	Still, five years down the line, she still doesn't do it.
	I think some amount of blame is meant to be apportioned on the man.
	I mean, get your woman in line, man.
	Honestly, I'm kind of agreeing with you.
	But she goes on to talk about her wonderful situation in life.
	She says she pays a cleaning company to come and clean her house once per month.
	Yeah, that's too hard for her.
	I mean, she's got a lot of work to do.
	When they change our sheets and make the bed, crawling into bed that night makes it feel like a mini-vacation.
	You can change your sheets every night if you want.
	You have the power to do that.
	My mother, she used to be a childminder.
	She had three boys.
	And that's why I'm looking at this and almost just in awe at how lazy this individual is, frankly.
	To be like, this is hell on earth to deal with this.
	And you'll see how much of a resentful individual she becomes in the later comics.
	But to say that, oh my god, changing a bed.
	It also goes to show how little she has to worry about.
	Like, if my bed is messy or not, I'm not even going to notice.
	I've got more important things to worry about.
	You know how long it takes to change a bed?
	Not long.
	No.
	Too much for her, though, in the last five years.
	And so, yeah, I mean, who's surprised that she's such an out-of-touch child when it comes to politics?
	And frankly, I mean, seeing all that just makes me come round to the opinion, I don't think she should vote.
	I don't think she should be allowed to vote.
	I don't know how we're doing.
	Don't tar all people in the same bro.
	Maybe not her specifically.
	Not because she's a mother or any of that.
	That's wonderful.
	The reason you shouldn't be allowed to vote is because you cannot be this sheltered and still think that you have any political opinion worthwhile.
	I mean, she's putting on these feminist glasses being like, oh my god, sexism, racism everywhere.
	You literally are living the dream.
	She would vote for the state coming in and making her bed for her.
	She would.
	She wasn't paying someone to do it.
	A month?
	But anyway, that's not the reason people hate her.
	I mean, I don't think she should be able to vote just because of her dog crap political opinions and the fact that she clearly doesn't have any hardship in her life to justify having the right to vote.
	But anyway...
	That's not the reason everyone else hated her.
	The reason everyone else hated her is because of the way she portrays her husband in response to all this.
	And as you read, what a stand-up guy.
	Pays all the bills, you know, takes care of the kids whenever he needs to.
	Gets all the groceries, does all the dinners.
	Makes the bed?
	You know the hardship that is.
	And does she take it well?
	Does she appreciate what she's got?
	No.
	Doesn't seem to.
	At least in the comics.
	Again, this isn't a judgement on her actual life, who knows?
	But on her comics and how she portrays it publicly, it doesn't look great.
	And this is what became the meme.
	So, this is the first one here.
	This is where we're going to have some fun.
	Isn't he the one that buys all of the groceries as well, according to the post?
	So if you want a peach, love, go out and buy it yourself.
	So this is the comic.
	It says, what are the many differences between me and my husband?
	And she looks at a peach and says, oh look, the last ripe peach.
	I'll save it for the kids.
	They love peaches so much.
	Where is my disgusting husband?
	Oh look, the last ripe peach.
	I'll use it as a special treat in my daily smoothie.
	Wait.
	Well, first of all, he thinks, like, I'll save it for the kids, they love peaches so much.
	Who thinks that?
	That's not how human thought works.
	Number two, he paid for it.
	Like, how dare my husband have the audacity to eat his food?
	What the fuck?
	I saw Count Dankula's response to this is also gold.
	It's like, woman makes up rule in her head, and then the man breaks the rule that she made up in her head and didn't tell him about, and then gets mad.
	Very woman moment there as well.
	We've all been a victim of it.
	Yeah, it's just, of course, that became an absolute meme.
	There's also her hat cartoon, which is just really kind of gross.
	Like, I know, again, she's still like, oh, no, by the way, I love my husband.
	This is just a joke.
	But it's like, eh, there's a level of vitriol in this I'm not comfortable with to laugh at.
	She's like, oh, my husband walks through and wearing my winter hat.
	Oh, cool.
	It's like, you know, two years into the relationship, if you go to the next image, she's like, Oh, how cute.
	He wears my hat.
	Oh, funny.
	And then 17 years into the relationship.
	Why are you wearing my hat again?
	Please stop.
	It's my hat.
	I've asked you not to wear it a million times.
	You never put it back where it goes and your sweat gets in it and makes it smell.
	What?
	That seems like a well-adjusted response.
	I mean...
	You're certainly making yourself look like a lunatic.
	I might be an armchair psychologist, but...
	I mean, literally, though.
	I've got a psychology background.
	But yeah, that's not healthy.
	That's a her problem, not a him problem.
	You shouldn't react like that.
	I know she says, well, to be clear, I love my husband.
	Maybe, maybe.
	But then there are a lot of these cartoons, and this is what made her go viral, is the fact that there's so many.
	Poor, poor man.
	Because if you go to the next one, there's also the fact that she just gets mad at him for no goddamn reason in some of these.
	So, I mean, we've seen the first one with the peaches, and the commentator's just like, I think she just hates her family.
	It's like, leaving the house with the kids?
	What I bring.
	Kids' coats?
	Why?
	Bags of my stuff?
	Why?
	Drinks for the kids and more snacks?
	Why?
	Extra snacks on top of that.
	Clothes, mittens, hats, hand sanitizer, wipes, and masks.
	Of course it's masks.
	To note in here, this is four months ago.
	This isn't the outbreak where everyone didn't know.
	Come on, everyone knows what it is.
	Whereas my husband, what does he bring?
	His keys.
	But the thing is, this is actually getting at something quite interesting, unintentionally.
	It's the two different roles, the sexually dimorphic roles of parents.
	She's obviously embodying the mothering role by being overly prepared, trying to make sure they're as comfortable as possible.
	Whereas he's embodying the fatherly role of pushing their boundaries...
	I'll drive the car, I'll pay for the car, I'll be able to travel around.
	If it's cold, you suffer.
	That's called parenting.
	That's the kind I was used to.
	All of that is not really necessary in my mind.
	It's like, do you need snacks, extra snacks?
	Where are you going?
	Well, this is our male brains talking, isn't it?
	But, uh, she also have, uh, the last one here is also just the last image there, John.
	It's just also her just being really kind of bitter about her kids.
	Again, it may just be jokes, but it's just like, there's so much of it.
	This is why she blew up and people didn't take it as jokes.
	See here?
	What kids ruin?
	Meals out, meals in general, white couches, vacations in quotation marks, a good night's sleep, anything about which you say this will be fun, and their parents' bodies.
	It's like...
	I know exactly what she's trying to market that towards.
	She's trying to appeal to the other mums and there'll be like the psychological elbow, like, eh?
	Eh?
	Isn't that right?
	Yeah.
	She's trying to get, like, the other people to relate to her.
	It's not really trying to dig at the kids per se.
	I think there's a little bit of tongue-in-cheek.
	However, the subsequent obsession with her husband is a little less nice.
	Next one here.
	She also has some kind of unhealthy obsession with him going to the bathroom.
	There's a lot of cartoons about the fact that he goes to the toilet and uses it for a little longer than she'd like, and therefore he's done something wrong.
	It's like, oh my god, you use the bathroom for as much time as you need on your father's day.
	Oh wait, you do that every day.
	I've heard from many fathers that the bathroom is the sacred palace, yeah, where you can actually be alone.
	It's actually a quote of all places, I think it was, a house of cards, where it's like, when I go to poop, it's the one place where I'm not being bothered.
	And now I've got this phone!
	So, if you go through the images here, just to represent that there is a reason, I mean, this is the reason she blew up, which is there are a lot of those as well, at least, as you can see there.
	It's just like, oh, my dad, what does he do?
	Has to poop, wait when it's right to go.
	Okay.
	He's living life in the moment, that's what he's doing.
	Keep going, John.
	I mean, there's more of them.
	Relationship with my bathroom tie.
	Wife's level of resentment.
	Hours per day that husband spends in the bathroom.
	Okay.
	Is this really that big of an issue?
	I mean, if it's really that bad, he needs to take him to a doctor.
	Yeah, he would have thought.
	He's clearly working himself to death.
	However, if you go to the next one as well, there's also the fact that apparently she lives in Cape Cod, and this is some nice place in the United States, and I bloody well know.
	I've been there before, yeah.
	And, uh, people were just like, yeah, yeah, horrible, uh, exhausted mum's posture when she pees in the morning.
	And again, you know, it's not, you know, that easy, except when, you know, everything's taken care of four of you by your husband, and the kids are like three, four, so, I mean, they're not babies anymore, it's not like it's that, but whatever.
	And then we go on to the groceries as well, in which she did a cartoon, it's like, oh, my horrible husband, she brings only one bag of groceries.
	Okay.
	There's a lot of resentment.
	That's probably because she picked up the bags first, and he just assumed, well, you've taken that many, therefore you're okay with taking that many.
	Maybe.
	And it's the fact that if there was one or two of these, okay, you know, boobie humor, my partner, a bit of an asshole.
	It's always been around, but there's just so much that this really did take off.
	There's also the last one here where she introduced her feminist message into everything, which you can see here, which she's very ungrateful again in here.
	She writes, what is it?
	Women will not be equal until they are free from the weight of unpaid domestic labor.
	Lady, you literally don't have to pay a single bill.
	You literally don't have to cook dinner.
	You don't have to do any of the grocery shopping.
	He'll take care of the kids while you go to goddamn yoga!
	I'll tell you what, if I... If I lived with a woman who did all of the stuff that that man did, I would be living the dream.
	She goes up the right.
	It's time to stop making excuses for men who simply aren't pulling their weight.
	It's like...
	Dude, he's trying his best.
	He's doing his best.
	He's a good guy.
	She's not satisfied with nagging her husband.
	She wants to nag the world.
	Yeah, that's the other thing.
	That's what the world needs.
	She's been accused of being a nagging mum, and she doesn't like that.
	How can she not?
	I don't know how you can bode about that.
	It's so obvious.
	There's the last one here with the feminist message, which is getting funny.
	She's like, oh, double standard.
	Dad gets fast food.
	Fun dad.
	I get fast food.
	Lazy mum.
	Number one, you don't cook any of the dinners.
	You said that yourself earlier.
	So, you are a lazy man.
	You literally don't make dinner.
	He's the one that does that.
	So, gonna knock you on the head for that one.
	But then also, no kid is gonna be like, ugh, fast food, mother.
	This isn't on.
	I don't know, I might have been like, not caviar.
	Fast food?
	Caviar?
	What?
	What the hell did you grow up?
	I'm joking.
	McDonald's caviar.
	No, I did go for McDonald's when I was a kid.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I was just going to say.
	But then again, it's just obvious nonsense as well.
	It's like, oh my god, fast food.
	Oh no.
	Mum, I can't eat Chinese again.
	Love the Chinese.
	It was the best time of my life growing up.
	But then there's also the response from one guy, which is he just started putting on images like that the Chad and Wojak crying faces on all of the cartoons.
	It works.
	He doesn't do any other edits.
	And, of course, this blew up as well.
	If you go back, John, and just scroll up on that one, you can see there's a whole bunch of others.
	So, go back to the thread, I mean, and scroll back up to the thread.
	And then you can see, if you scroll up, the Chad and Wojak faces of people showing off that it works for every other cartoon.
	They have all the different ones, and it works for every single one of them.
	It's like, Chad, yeah, I like the peach.
	Also, as well, he's eating smoothies.
	He's trying to keep in shape.
	I've seen the pictures.
	Consider it, yeah.
	So, you know, she ran very hard to just be resentful by the sounds of it.
	And then the Peach meme, the Peach meme really blew up, which is very funny.
	I think we'll enjoy those.
	So if we go to the next few segments here, you're doing okay, son.
	Add in my Peach.
	F's in the chat, lad.
	If you go to the next one, there's more versions of that.
	I don't know, I ate the last Peach.
	Yeah, right, Pete.
	Why would you leave it?
	I don't understand why it's such a point of contention.
	In a normal household, the parents come first.
	They're the ones that get first dibs on the food because they're the ones that buy it.
	The dude paying for everything?
	Yeah.
	The dude who cooked all the meals?
	Yeah, the kids don't get to dictate what their parents eat.
	That's an inversion of normality.
	But also, like, it's not like they're struggling.
	They're doing very well for themselves, being a kid pod.
	You go to the next one here, there's more peach memes, which blew up.
	They don't know I'm saving this peach for the kids.
	Yeah, of course.
	It's so silly.
	It's just still the dads dancing.
	The next one here, we just have more memes.
	Mmm, peach time.
	It's just like, the dude's just living his life.
	He's providing.
	He's doing great.
	And you're just sat there all resentful, making cartoons about how he's a bad guy.
	He's not.
	He's not.
	And I love the last one here, though, which is just, you know, Dad's drinking wine.
	That's all he brings when he goes out with the kids.
	Driving wine.
	You don't have driving wine.
	That's what it says.
	What are you doing if you don't drive with wine?
	It's not even drinking wine.
	No.
	Well, it's for both, isn't it?
	No, I can't advocate that, can I? So we're going to her comics as well, because people started making her comics for her instead.
	Am I doing this right?
	Me, carrying the kids, always right.
	Love the spelling.
	Never complains, does everything, does all the shopping and chores, except she doesn't.
	Her stupid husband, who's lazy, stupid, balding, does nothing, always playing on the Nintendo Switch, his boyfriend brought him after the vasectomy.
	Would love him, but his IT job pays all the bills.
	Sorry, would leave him, but all the IT money pays for everything.
	Good Freudian slip, though.
	Yeah, and there you have it.
	And I do love the response from the internet.
	And that's why it all blew up.
	Again, we're just covering what happened.
	But then her last response, her most recent response, is the worst one.
	It just shows that she learned nothing.
	Let's go to it.
	There you are.
	When a woman says anything on the internet, there's a bunch of snakes and pointing fingers of abuse.
	Yes, because only women ever get negative feedback on the internet.
	We've never had any detractors at all, have we?
	No hate mail.
	To be fair, it is fun.
	Yeah, you're going to have that mindset to it.
	But instead, you know, the internet blew up being like, well, this lady seems really inconsiderate to her husband.
	Also, like, he's a really nice guy.
	Like, what the heck?
	And so then people started commenting and she's like, oh, this is horrible.
	She goes on to say in here that this one goes out to all the new trolls who have come over from Twitter to say horrible things to me and judge me and my marriage for just a few comics.
	It was quite a few.
	It wasn't just a few.
	I mean, if you air your dirty laundry, don't be surprised when people point at the stains.
	I mean...
	Yeah.
	I mean, you're making this all public.
	This isn't some hidden situation.
	But also the fact that, like, you live in the dream.
	Like, this dude is such a stand-up guy in every regard that you point out.
	And you're like, ugh, yeah.
	But he smells.
	She says, don't waste your time, guys.
	I will just keep plugging and deleting all day long.
	And then the hashtags.
	You scroll down on there, John, on the Instagram side.
	Friggin' hell.
	Hashtag mums for mums.
	Hashtag women's rights.
	Hashtag female empowerment.
	You do nothing!
	Hashtag feminism, hashtag women of illustration, hashtag women illustrators, creative women, womanhood, mother life, real motherhood, honest motherhood, mum life unfiltered, mothers...
	I can't go on.
	All I'm hearing is she's got too much time on her hands imagining up hashtags, which is part of the reason why I don't go on Instagram in the first place.
	Who writes like...
	Hashtag mum's truth, hashtag mum comics, hashtag tired mums, hashtag tired mama, hashtag...
	I don't know.
	Hashtag feminist memes.
	Oh, that goldmine.
	No wonder she does nothing.
	She spends all her time writing hashtags for bloody Instagram.
	But I also love how our most recent comic is also an Old Faithful.
	You must remember the Old Faithful version of this.
	If you're the next one here, just the last comic.
	Feminist.
	Opinions.
	Internet.
	Not happy about the opinions.
	Help.
	Misogyny.
	There you are.
	That's what happens when you spread your DS. That's it.
	And I suppose, until then, we shall just end on this.
	I suppose this is how the father is taking all things, which is living his life.
	Again, doing all the bills, doing all the dinners.
	I mean, again...
	Live in the dream.
	Like, you know, I want to see the next cartoon just being like, my wonderful husband.
	That's all people want to see.
	And instead she went with, why do people hate my opinions?
	And that's why she blew up.
	That's why it became an internet story.
	I feel like an internet historian doing these sometimes, but there we are.
	Very much in that vein, isn't it?
	I'm sure he will make a future run-up.
	Otherwise, let's go to the video comments.
	A friend who is a literary agent told me that he cannot even get editors to read first novels by young white male writers.
	No matter how good, they are just not interested.
	When I was trying to get my book published, I sent my manuscript to every single literary agent I could find.
	And every single one of them came back and said, Sorry, we're not qualified to represent you.
	What do you mean not qualified to represent?
	Oh yeah, because you're white.
	That was a point, idiot.
	But there we have it, yeah.
	Again, it's just the world we live in.
	This is why I see the it's okay to be a white thing.
	I hate when people are like, oh my god, it might be a bit edgy.
	No, that's civil rights.
	Genuinely civil rights.
	It's not even a strong opinion, just it's okay.
	It's alright.
	Take it or leave it.
	Yeah, fine.
	Let's go to the next one.
	I find it interesting that we're starting to see more left-wing pushback against refugee resettlement now that they've realized that pale-skinned Ukrainians can be refugees as well.
	I suppose their hatred of Russians could only take them so far before their hatred of white people reasserted itself.
	Sorry, they started hating the Ukrainian refugees?
	Yeah, it's been lost on me.
	I suppose they're trying to limit them because Eastern Europeans and therefore probably based, probably anti-communist.
	Oh, right, yeah.
	I feel those Ukrainian brides might be radicalising the Germans.
	That's the last thing we need.
	More radical Germans.
	Actually, that's a good idea.
	When there's a recession, hyperinflation, I mean...
	So have you heard of this Azov scene, Cosburn?
	It's a terrible Ukrainian accent.
	Let's go to the next one.
	To answer Callum's question, this is a browning action.
	It is a type of delayed blowback.
	After the bullet leaves the barrel, the barrel and the slide start to move backwards from reaction.
	After the slide has moved back slightly, the barrel tilts downwards and unlocks from the slide, allowing the slide to continue cycling backwards and then loading the new case into the chamber.
	This delay in ejection is to keep the case from blowing out from pressure.
	That's because it's called a floating barrel.
	You see on the barrel, it has a little lip on the barrel.
	And because it's pointing upwards, it kind of feeds a lot easier into that lip.
	And I feel bad for you, Brits, who don't have this privilege or this right.
	So, it sucks to you.
	No, I love it.
	I love learning about how guns work as well.
	I think it's just a rite of passage for a man to know about guns, even if we can't legally, well, we can't legally own some of them.
	Are you going to come shotgun shooting me and Nick when he comes back?
	I would love to go shotgun shooting.
	It's going to be somewhere up.
	I'm going to dress up in tweed and go pheasant hunting.
	It'd be a good S-pose if nothing else.
	Yeah, I always had this childhood dream of becoming a gunsmith.
	That was my dream job when I was a kid.
	I have no idea if you could ever make money doing that in this day and age.
	I'm sure you probably could.
	You can make custom-built ones in Britain.
	I mean, you can own an AR-15 in Britain, as long as it's single-fire.
	My mind is immediately going to Zoomers and I've seen some of the meme guns people have requested to be made from people.
	Have you seen those?
	I think I know a few.
	I think it's SlashK on 4chan is the weapons forum.
	There's loads of memes that come out of there.
	It's just like, yeah, here's my custom-made My Little Pony shooter.
	I've seen that, yeah.
	Although it would be funny, you get some muggy breaking into some guy's house, and his girlfriend comes out, and she's like, Uwu, pulls out a pistol, it's my little pony, so it just blows you in the head.
	Hello, kitty.
	Imagine the news story after that, a man shot by...
	That'd be like desecrating a corpse almost.
	There's no honour in that, is there?
	Yeah, you break into a tomboy streamer.
	Sorry, not tomboy.
	What are they?
	The Femboys streamer.
	And he just pulls out his My Little Pony rifle.
	Ha!
	I feel like that burglar's family would just be like, well, you know, nothing of value was lost.
	I can't even win that one.
	Anyway, let's go to the next video.
	We did used to have in this country some really profound thinkers.
	We really did, before Blair.
	You know, John Smith actually is a good example.
	Peter Shaw.
	Ben.
	Tony Ben.
	Enoch Powell.
	I was refreshed to hear Fred and Richard mention Enoch Powell.
	For any Lotus Eaters who do not know of him, please look him up.
	And also this interview from the Dick Cabot Show, where he runs rings around both Cabot and Jonathan Miller.
	Additionally, look up his prescient and incorrectly named Rives of Blood speech.
	It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.
	He was spot on about mass immigration.
	He was a leftist.
	He underplayed the damage he would do, and the numbers.
	What, are you not, pal?
	Yeah.
	You sure?
	You're not sure?
	We went over this in a premium podcast, just like this speech itself.
	It's just like, the numbers, he was like, oh my god, the whole streets might change.
	Streets!
	Way, way worse than he ever predicted, which is, you know, I highly recommend Alex's advice there.
	Go and check out that interview.
	That is a good interview.
	I've seen that one before, yeah.
	And then remember that it's Ah, worse than that.
	God, sorry, I just got a pulse so right.
	So Baron von Vorhoek says, I know this is a meme, but this is just like 1984, when Winston is tortured by the police for blasphemy against Big Brother, yet the police are having nice chats with the murderers and rapists in the Ministry of Lovebuilding.
	Yeah, I don't think...
	Were they murderers and rapers?
	Because they were proles, weren't they?
	I can't remember.
	I read it when I was quite young.
	I was like 16, 17.
	When he gets put in the Ministry of Love, there's party members who are the ones who get tortured and re-educated, whereas the proles, they don't matter, and they're engaging in theft and all kinds of...
	Probably murder and rape.
	And the guards are just laughing with them, giving them cigarettes and stuff, because they just don't matter.
	They're not political actors, so anything they engage with is worthless.
	And that is entirely what the police are.
	It is an accurate description.
	Paul Newbar says, Are they still keeping data on people for non-crime hate incidences?
	Yes, 120,000 of them.
	I can't just think of that number.
	It's so unnecessarily large.
	Imagine all the wasted police time.
	How many thefts, murders, assaults?
	That's all those.
	I'm joking.
	But there are going to be people who are basically being done in for political crimes, not criminal crimes.
	I remember one, I think it was in 2015 or something, someone asked some examples, and one of the examples they dug out to talk about this was that someone had handed a handbag in Lidl to a customer in a homophobic manner.
	Which wasn't a crime in and of itself, but it was a non-crime hate incident, because the homophobic handling of the carrier bag...
	I don't know how they knew that.
	I mean, maybe it was, ooh!
	I don't know.
	Sorry, that breaks the handing over of a handbag in a homophobic manner act.
	There's 120,000 of those in the police files.
	God.
	So, Arden Party, sorry, Party?
	Says on the criminal meme, Josh is not just that the police could prioritize certain calls, it's that they should, in fact, be deciding to charge people who call up claiming I was caused anxiety by a meme as public nuisances.
	That should be criminal charge, in my opinion, and I think, I believe, it is under Canadian law a criminal charge to make a frivolous call to the police.
	Well, I wish it was illegal to do so, because it is a waste of their time.
	However, it's not the law, unfortunately, so I can't expect them to do something that is, well...
	So, wasting police time is a crime in the UK, because he's Canadian, I don't know.
	But, also, it is a crime to post these things, thanks to Section 127, so officially they aren't wasting police time.
	And anyone who calls up to say an MP's tweet is breaking the law, or any of these police officers are breaking the law, or any public figure, Jimmy Carr, when he posts a special, if he writes to the police and says he broke Section 127, you wouldn't be wasting their time either, because you would actually be following the law, and reporting it as such.
	Honestly, I think the only way we are going to get out of this is malicious compliance, with that at this point.
	Don't know how else we're going to do it.
	Brian Von Warhook says, Oi, oi, oi.
	You got a license for that meme, mate?
	Is that a peppy?
	20 years to Australia, mate.
	So he goes...
	Colin P says, The police visiting people for memes causes me anxiety.
	Too bad.
	You could just go suck a fat one.
	Edward Woodstock says, Someone has been given anxiety by his post.
	I get anxious during job interviews.
	Does that mean that if I don't get the job, I can ask them to arrest the interviewer if I don't get it?
	That is ridiculous.
	If you get anxiety, it's not the fault of you, but not on them.
	Stop caring so much.
	Yeah, also, if it was via Zoom, that would be on the internet, therefore it would be a crime.
	So the trick is, interview someone via Zoom, and if they don't give you the job, get them arrested.
	And then create such a backlog of cases that they're not going to possibly feasibly get through any of them, and therefore the police themselves call to scrap the law, saying it's impeding our work.
	I do feel we're on the Joker train here.
	How are we going to fix society by crashing this plane?
	We can rebuild the plane from the scraps.
	Shall I read some comments?
	Yep.
	So, Free Will 20112.
	When ideology and fanaticism inform the decision-making process of a medical practice, terrible mistakes will occur.
	The only criteria for clinical intervention should be informed medical investigation.
	The ideologues in all public services need to be driven out of their positions.
	Absolutely.
	Um...
	Frankly, some of them need criminal charges.
	Yeah, well, of course.
	They have a safeguarding obligation.
	You could argue that there's a legal philosophy in Britain where we have manslaughter, where you're unintentionally providing harm Well, you can even make the case that these practitioners are intentionally creating harm for someone.
	So, I mean, under that sort of underlying moral-legal philosophy, you can easily rationalise some sort of legislation to target them.
	I'm not sure exactly, because I'm not a lawyer, but I can either feasibly see there being some in the future, or there already being some that could be used.
	But I don't know the law inside out, unfortunately.
	Fair enough.
	So, Baron Von Warhawk.
	The trans fad movement has to be stopped.
	I know it's a meme, but the trans suicide rate is still 42%.
	For comparison, the death percentage on D-Day was 11%.
	This means you have a better chance of surviving Omaha Beach than getting old as a trans person.
	This closing of this clinic can only help the world.
	I think Ben Shapiro mentions the suicide rate of trans people in the United States, according to that figure, is also worse than Jews under the Holocaust.
	That's pretty horrific.
	So it's because of the bullying that it's so high, because, you know, bullying in trans people in the United States is worse than Jews under the Holocaust.
	It's just to show that it's not culture.
	It's definitely not an extension of an identity disorder where you feel disassociated with your own body and therefore you want to mutilate that body to end your life.
	I mean, it's not in any way related to that, of course.
	It's the bullying you face.
	Yeah.
	You know, just like the Jews didn't.
	That's why he brings that up, because it's just so comical.
	Yeah.
	Robert Longshore, that guy didn't mutilate himself, the doctors did.
	They convinced him his best course of action to fix his mental issue was chopping off his wedding tackle.
	I think because he was an adult, you can still hold him responsible for the decision in part, although I'd say the doctors, in giving them professional advice, did play a significant role.
	I think when we're dealing with adults, albeit vulnerable adults with mental health issues, you still can't Hold them not responsible for their actions, because then we get into a difficult problem of, say, someone committed a crime, and, you know, do you hold them legally responsible if they've got a mental illness?
	Well, the answer's still yes, to some extent.
	It's almost like a cell death for a policeman.
	Yeah, someone has to face charges for this.
	I mean, you were put in charge of the health card of this child, and you've destroyed them.
	How does the matter with you?
	Jay Young, give it another decade and the NHS will be bankrupt from lawsuits because of this recent trend in normalising mental health, sexual deviancy and ruining confused teenagers' lives.
	Here's hoping.
	I would love the NHS to be privatised.
	That'd be great.
	Um...
	Column P, not malpractice, child abuse.
	I would argue that one is the same.
	I mean, if you're conducting malpractice, it's child abuse.
	I mean, it's just me having the psychological background.
	I'm just using the clinician's language.
	Column P, but if you stop us sterilizing children, how will we achieve our population reduction aims?
	Brother makes a good point.
	He does indeed.
	I'm going to do a couple more before you read the next ones.
	So, Maureen Peters.
	The single clinic is being closed, but there are plans to establish a new system of regional clinics, starting with two fully operational centres in London and Manchester, starting spring 2023.
	So there will be a smooth transition in service provision.
	Further free hubs are planned to pop up like a bunch of McDonald's branches later on.
	I know, yeah.
	I did mention that, but I think from the wording of the person overviewing the case of the Tavistock Clinic, they're going to be operating differently and with more focus on treating the clearly underlying mental health conditions that they have.
	I mean, having depression is probably a good thing to sort out before you start taking drugs, I would say.
	Sorry, it's so close to, like, you know, post-nut clarity.
	It's like, how about you sort your life out before you make this big decision?
	It's a good way of putting it, to be fair.
	All the men will at least understand that.
	We can sort that with transition, at least.
	General Hai Ping, I've got a horrid feeling that this kind of work will become more privatised and harder to openly track.
	More than likely, with continued funding from our oh-so-conservative government...
	If recent years have taught me anything, that once exposed to sunlight, these organisations tend to go underground rather quickly.
	Yes, like the creatures that they are.
	Right.
	I suppose I'll move on to the feminist gibberish.
	I wonder if you did get any psychoanalising out of her.
	I don't know if it's a healthy thing to do with random people on the internet.
	Well, I can't help but do it.
	Especially with stuff like that.
	You can tell that she lived such a privileged, sheltered life that the things she has to complain about are just really, really mild, invented inconveniences.
	It's not like he went out all night drinking and came back smelling of another woman's perfume, is it?
	It's...
	Oh, well, he ate the last peach.
	Oh, he goes out with the kids with only his car keys.
	I imagine most of the women who watch that are going to just feel like, well, I imagine my, you know, I want that.
	To be honest, he's making us all look bad, is what he's doing.
	Calm down, peach.
	So actually, maybe I'm on her side.
	Down with this guy.
	He's making us look bad.
	Is this the differential between, like, I have to make the bed sometimes?
	With, women will never be free until men take up their duties in the house.
	That post.
	I'm pretty sure it was, uh...
	Women of the world unite.
	You've got nothing to lose but your bedsheets, isn't it?
	So FreeWill2112 says no room for hate in this space.
	And yet these people drip hate out of every pore.
	Their vitriol for those who disagree with them spews out on social media like an unstoppable torrent.
	Mark Thomas says the probability is that the husband of the mum comic page spends all that time in the bathroom to get the hell away from her.
	You can't blame him, can you?
	You can only speculate.
	So Baron von Warhawk says, So this guy cleans the house, cooks the meals, works to bring home the bacon, never strikes the kids, and overall just seems like a swell guy.
	How is he the bad guy again?
	I know plenty of women who would kill for a guy like that, and this wife does nothing, yet takes everything from him while bad-mouthing him.
	Besides, the dude works 9-5 all week to support his kids and his parasite.
	He damn well earned his peach.
	Yeah, it's the peach tax.
	That's what it is.
	It's the one thing he gets.
	Do all the work, clean the beds, get all the groceries, make the dinners.
	But a peach is too much.
	I think this guy needs a welfare check.
	I think he might be held hostage.
	It's like a Gone Girl situation.
	So Kevin M says, Mum life, pretty much a poser child for live, laugh, love.
	Oof, that's a bit tough.
	You know those stupid things.
	I mean, foreigners might not.
	Of course.
	I don't know if it's Ikea or who the hell's selling them, but you get all these different stupid house things where it's like a sign or a love heart.
	I've been in people's houses where I've seen them in the wild.
	Paintings.
	I've seen embroidery with it.
	Just this stupid live, laugh, love everywhere.
	I just...
	I was so pleased when I showed my mum one of them, and she was just like, that's so tacky.
	I was like, yes, mum.
	Well done.
	Hideous.
	Henry Ashman says, I feel so sorry for that woman.
	Yeah, we're going to get so many people looking at their thing.
	I liked it.
	Anyway, sorry, just not a personal taste of mine.
	So he says, I feel so sorry for that woman.
	It's such a disaster that her husband won't make the bed.
	I know, right?
	If only there was another adult in the house who was capable of such an arduous task as making the bed.
	Who knows?
	Maybe they have a weighted blanket that requires an absolute gigachat of a man to even lift it.
	I doubt it, though, as such a man would have probably ditched her years ago.
	Yeah, again, I don't want to analyse her relationship too much, but it certainly seems that there's a reason she blew up on the internet.
	That's for damn sure.
	To be fair, it does sound like she lives under a rock, so it might be quite heavy.
	How does her vote...
	Equal to anyone else.
	I'm sorry to get back to it.
	Forever document this day, because this is the day that Callum lost faith in democracy, one meme at a time.
	Oh yeah, I love democracy, just, you know, a lot of people shouldn't vote.
	Uh-oh, Palpatine.
	Shouldn't be allowed to.
	I love democracy.
	Everyone who's like that shouldn't.
	Andrew Narok says, Good lord, the sheer luxury she lives in, able to afford a cleaning service every month, and here I thought she was supposed to be the cleaning service, according to her complaints.
	There's another thing.
	She's like, oh god, I have to clean so much, but I have someone once a month to do everything.
	If you can't even clean your own house, you've got no right to complain about the state of your living.
	Also, it's just not that hard.
	I keep going back.
	My mum worked really bloody hard as a childminder.
	At peak, I remember once, there'd be a small period in between after picking up kids, childminding.
	She'd have nine kids, and then she's got us three boys.
	And those nine kids would be in the conservatory playing, making messes and all sorts of nonsense she'd have to deal with.
	And then she's there with her two three-year-olds.
	It's impossible to keep up on all this laundry.
	Shut up.
	I mean, especially like...
	You know when you're young and you complain?
	Because I had this experience about doing the dishes.
	You don't want to do the dishes.
	It sucks.
	I've got a job as a KP. You know, making clean dishes all day in a restaurant.
	Kitchen porter.
	Yeah.
	And then you come back home and someone complains about a whole dish and the thing.
	You just look at them in contempt.
	I just think, a whole dish, huh?
	Again, even if she does clean all the house, even if she doesn't have the cleaning company, this is not, you know, a palace.
	Sorry, it really annoys me.
	So Maureen Peters says, I would expect another username from someone who seems to despise her own family enough to constantly post passive-aggressive comics about them on the internet.
	On the other hand, maybe she believes it is normal for a wife and mother to think like that.
	Maybe.
	Maybe that's where she left to say all the mums are...
	I don't think they are.
	I think probably all the other mums are like, Jesus, we met her.
	I suppose on that note, it's time to end the show.
	So, more from us.
	Of course, you can go to latestids.com to access all the stuff we mentioned and subscribe to help run the show.
	Otherwise, that's enough from me and we'll be back tomorrow at one o'clock.
	Thank you and goodbye.
