Hello and welcome to the podcast The Lotus Eaters for the 6th of September 2022.
I'm joined by Harry.
Hello!
I just realised how close it was to the anniversary of 9-11.
You're sounding so enthusiastic today.
No, I was just like, oh yeah, nine days, well three days until...
Yeah, three...
Wait?
No.
I can't count, never mind.
Alright, 9-11's coming soon, that's all I remember.
9-11 part 2?
No, just the anniversary.
Callum's favourite day.
Moving on, just some announcements on the website.
So firstly, just going to announce that we're doing a premium hangout later on today, which will be Europe's only indigenous people, between me and Carl.
The next in Carl's series of just torturing Callum.
Yeah, this one is basically a bunch of different outlets decided that there's only one indigenous people in all of Europe.
It's the Sami.
It's like no one else.
Yeah, we could briefly touch on that the other week.
Yeah, so come and hang out with us there.
That'll be for premium members only, I imagine, so do that.
Otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow as well in the afternoon with a new book club, which will be live.
This is Romlin Tomlinson's Silenced, which he has published and was quickly deleted by Amazon after it hit number one in the charts.
Which is hilarious.
I'm shocked they even let it on Amazon.
Yeah, it's like, I've Been Silenced gets to number one and then it's banned.
Well, for those interested, seeing as if it's not on Amazon now, where else can they get it?
We have a link in the book club we will be showing, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
But either way, I'm sure you can go to tr.news or UrbanScoop or whatever the hell else he's using these days and find out from there, if not getter, of course.
Otherwise, we shall get to the stories itself, which today are BLM suing itself, Liz Truss.
Does anyone care?
And also Chile rejecting progressivism, which...
Pretty based.
me her not all Augusta Piano We'll get into BLM suing itself.
So BLM have decided to sue themselves, which is the biggest of biggest brain moves I could have thought that they would have done in response to becoming irrelevant.
And as far as you've told me, from what I can gather from all of this, it's not over ideological things, it's becoming about that now that they're starting to sling mud at one another, but it's mainly about money.
Yeah, it seems that it's two retards who want money, and so there's a lot of money left, so they're just going to fight over it.
And, well, there is some ideological aspect, of course, being that they're both commies, unironically, and we'll go through their own statements, which prove that.
Of course, we'll start off here just by mentioning Frank DeCotta's Mal's Great Famine Book Club, which you can check out at losies.com, in case you want to learn more about communism and its results of nothing else.
But otherwise, we shall quickly remind ourselves of the people who run BLM. Remember, here, we have to make a distinction.
There's BLM Grassroots, and there's BLM Global National Foundation, or whatever stupid-ass name they have.
And what are the differences between these two organisations?
So you've got the Grassroots chapters, and they all come together to be BLM Grassroots.
So they're the ones starting the riots.
And then you have BLM Global National Foundation Fund, stupid name for tax reasons.
And they're the ones encouraging the riots?
They're the ones who have taken all the money and enjoying it.
So...
Oh, okay.
That's the dispute.
But we'll start off just by remembering this clip here, which is the guys who run BLM, well, gals, I should say, all sitting around, and you've got Patrice Cullors on the left and Abdullah on the right there.
The lady in the middle is not relevant to this substance.
I'm just...
Immediately, before we even hear anything, the crap-eating grins.
Yes, yes.
It's insufferable.
For people who haven't seen this clip, because they deleted it from their own YouTube channel as soon as they realised it was a bad look.
This is them in their, like, six million dollar mansion here, filming about how they got away with it.
In one of her six million dollar mansions.
Yeah, let's play.
I'm so glad to have the both of you here, and in person.
Yes!
It's been a really intense year and a half.
That was a nice way to talk.
And I look up to the both of you so much.
You know, you're big sisters to me, your movement leaders, your...
Gangsters.
The portal opened, right?
And how the whole community had to rush in to save D, right?
To save our black future, right?
Like, that's what was happening.
But it wasn't Hippolyta.
It's George Floyd's spirit holding it open.
Remember, we used to pretend like we weren't.
I had to pretend like we weren't.
Defund the police.
This is a budget issue.
And now we are talking about abolition.
Yeah, we kind of just mean abolition.
Well, that's very interesting how smug they are going completely mask off there.
I mean, that's just a nice little insight into the sorts of tactics these organisations use when they say, remember when we were pretend that we just wanted budget reform?
Of course.
But it's also the revealing aspect that they are racial socialists, as everyone has rightly noted.
They're after a black future, which bodes well.
We must secure the existence of our black future.
Anyway, but also they just sit around in their six million dollar mansion with their champagne cheering on about how they managed to use George Floyd's spirit.
Literal champagne socialists right here.
Yes, they used George Floyd's spirit to hold open the gate to make themselves rich.
Metaphorically speaking, they did.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's from their mouths, again.
So this isn't like, oh, my right wingers are making this up.
No, like, this is their own YouTube channel.
But we'll move to the story itself, which is them suing themselves.
As you can see here, Black Lives Matter grassroots chapters sue Global Foundation over funds.
Oh boy.
A coalition of Black Lives Matter chapters has filed a lawsuit against the BLM Global Network Foundation, a non-profit organization that grew out of the protest movement, accusing the Foundation of defrauding the local activist groups.
Yeah, all we got was the loot from the stores we broke into.
How are you defrauded?
You knew you were in on this, surely?
Like, this whole thing was a scam.
The complaint was filed on Thursday by BLM Grassroots, an entity made up of 26 BLM chapters in the United States, UK, and Canada.
Which, um, again, why?
Why outside of the US, even in the slightest?
I mean, it makes no sense in the US either, don't get me wrong, but, you know, I guess the scam is just that good.
The local organizers allege that the foundation, which has been a clearinghouse for donations, I think I mean a money laundering den, To support BLM over the years, has fundraised off the work of the chapters, but mismanaged the funds and had shut local chapters out of decision-making.
Mismanaged.
Excellent little turn of phrase right there.
Like, yeah, we were on the ground fundraising, saying, give us all your money and, like, racism will go or something.
It was just a complete accident, guys.
You know, like, I was sitting on the sofa and the money vanished and, you know, it might be back down there, I've just not had a chance to look yet.
We sent it all to our pimp, and the pimp took all the money, and now I'm mad.
So, yeah.
The grassroots group, which includes BLM chapters in Los Angeles, Michigan, Atlanta, and Boston, also alleges that the foundation, which runs at BlackLivesMatter.com, has locked them out of the main BLM social media accounts.
Oh, really?
I think this is something...
It's interesting that it's gone straight to the lawsuits now, because this is something that each of the individual chapters had been complaining about for a while now, so ever since, really, the summer of 2020, they were like, oh, we got...
Yeah, we did all of these protests, raised all of this money, where's the money gone?
We raised it by scaring the crap out of companies and people, and then...
But even back then I looked at the website and it was like, oh yeah, we've managed to raise $86 million and then you look at, oh where's that money going to?
Oh we've done $87,000 worth of community work.
But it's also just the aspect of the several million you get from Disney or Microsoft.
You got it from threatening to destroy their stores.
So again, fundraising is a very generous term when describing these groups.
Almost like domestic terrorists, but they're the parents.
But they mention in here that, oh my god, we've been shut out of the BLM social media accounts.
It's like, oh my god, are you serious?
Really?
Because if we go to the next one here, I thought it took a whole team of people to run this.
I didn't realise it was all one guy.
Whoa!
For people listening, it's BLM just tweeting abolition, not even capitalising the A. No punctuation, no full stop, just abolition.
This is so lazy.
Can you hover over that account for a second, John?
185 like-a-roonies.
This would be like if, I don't know...
1 million followers...
Can you imagine if Martin Luther King had just gotten up in front of that crowd in a dressing gown and just walked up to the microphone, cup of joe in hand, racism's bad, guys.
With some champagne just going, yeah, civil rights, innit?
Just chewing away.
You can't be bothered to do any work.
Yeah, so there we are.
Don't you know this is all one person running there?
I'm shocked.
Let's go back to the article because they have more complaints.
Quote, The assets that we built, the financial resources, the social media platforms, and the name Black Lives Matter have been taken from us and are under the control of consultants, said Abdullah, Dr.
Abdullah.
This will be the lady on the right you saw in that previous segment in which she was very happy to sit around and drink champagne in the $6 million mansion.
Wait, so she's trying to play both sides here?
Yes, she's now the director of BLM Grassroots, and the co-founder of BLM Los Angeles, and she's the one suing Colors here, except Colors has stepped down.
Her old friend, Colors.
Yes, so they were both, you know, a couple of months ago, sat in the same $6 million mansion, drinking champagne and filming videos talking about how they got away with it.
But all of a sudden, Abdullah is like, hang on, hang on, a tick?
I've been had!
I think money has been wasted!
I think they've been wasting money on champagne and mansions, don't you know?
It's like, lady, you're on camera, enjoying it.
Now, stop me if you disagree, but I'm sensing a little bit of another, some kind of money-making scheme going on right here.
It seems less than sincere, you know?
I feel like Abdullah might just want more money.
Yeah.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles' Superior Court, seeks damages and restitution, as well as a temporary restraining order to block the foundation from using the BLM accounts and website.
Which is hilarious.
What are they going to do?
Tweet more words like abolition again and again.
They've got that reason.
They're just going to tweet Gibbs by the end of this podcast, I bet.
The complaint names the foundation and...
I don't know how you say his name.
Shamaloya Bowers?
She's going to say Bowers.
Sounds about right.
A consultant whose firm was paid over two million dollars by BLM Foundation in the fiscal year of 2020.
So there's the thing.
So Patricia Cullors, the lady on the left, she stepped down because there are a bunch of media reports showing that she, you know, used all the money on mansions.
So she was like, well, you know, I better leave.
Well, my work here is done.
Look at all the good I've done for the country.
Yeah.
I've increased black joy so much for me and my family.
Anyway, so I've left this Bowers character in charge, and what did Bowers do?
He immediately charged two million to his own foundation.
Sorry, his own consulting firm.
So he basically just pocketed two mil.
I was like, right, here we go.
Trust me.
No corruption here.
Colors is gone.
Like, okay, right.
They say in here that Colors announced she was stepping down because of everyone finding out about the mansions.
Colors named the two organisers to serve as interim senior executives, but the two organisers, tapped to be leaders, announced in the months later, said that they never ended up starting because they couldn't actually reach an agreement on the scope of their positions.
So she wouldn't hand over the money, that's what that is.
According to the suit, Bowers, who had been handling the administration of the Foundation, undercolours, took control of the operation, and then shut out BLM Grassroots.
So Abdullah and her friends.
So he saw how good the grift was, got handed the keys to the kingdom, and then just carried on the grift as usual.
It was like, Patricia made 17 mil.
I can pocket 2 mil right now, and then I'll get the rest.
Yeah, I'll figure the rest out later.
Brilliant.
What is anyone actually going to do?
But nothing.
Literally, like, BLM grassroots could do nothing.
They had to resolve to suing the organisation itself.
I mean, people could, you know, stop donating to them, and then if they threaten riots again, you know, law enforcement could actually prevent those riots or do something about...
No, we've got to just keep giving them the money.
So the borough's taken two mil, presumably will have taken more.
They say in here, Abdullah, we're fighting for the very soul of Black Lives Matter.
Black Lives Matter belongs to the people who birthed it and built it.
Okay, so literally, I deserve that money.
That's what you're saying.
It's like, I want it.
Because the Global Foundation, no one cares about their name.
No one cares about their organization.
You want the 60 mil that's in the coffers.
That's what you want.
If you wanted to still pass off this obvious scam...
As a legitimate organisation that is dedicated to doing the things they say that they are, I would like to see some evidence of how anything that they've done has improved literally any black person's life in America.
Just one person.
And maybe, maybe you could justify some of the money that was given.
Obviously not the tens of millions, but at least you would be able to say, okay, they've done someone some good.
I don't have it to note, but if my memory serves me right, Abdullah actually, I believe she stood on a stage with, I think it was, like, Brianna Taylor's family members or something, or some other BLM martyr, who started and said, oh, we need to raise money for the family because they need to bury their relative.
It's going to cost $5,000, so please donate.
And they raised, like, $100,000.
And the lady who needed $5,000 to bury the relative got none.
Yeah, I don't know if...
Like, the organization took it all?
Yeah, I don't know if that was Breonna Taylor.
Perhaps it was.
Might have been someone else.
It was another BLM. But I know the story you're on about.
Anyway, they're saying here, Jacob Blake Sr., because of course, let's go back to another martyr, whose son was shot by Kenosha police and left paralyzed.
Don't know how that happened.
It's not like he had a knife or anything.
Has worked with Abdullah and Grassroots Group to support the other families and said that he hoped the Foundation and Bowers would relinquish control.
It's a slap in the face again to all black and brown people who have to suffer in our own movement, raising and talking over funds that we were for the advancement of black and brown people.
It's unfathomable, he says.
Just remind ourselves, you don't know who Jacob Blake was, or remember what happened, if you go to the next one here.
The chap had the knife, was told to drop the knife, didn't drop the knife, walked into his car, and then when he turned around was shot because...
What were you expecting to happen?
No, not just got shot after refusing.
Got tased twice, did nothing to him, and then was retrieving what people were presuming was a gun from his car.
Because he wouldn't drop the knife, which kind of makes people uncomfortable when they're like, please drop the bloody knife, and you're like, no.
And the phone call that was made to the police referred to Jacob Blake by name.
But let's not rehash the whole case again, because the point is that clearly this is a group of immoral actors who want the money.
Against another group of immoral actors who have the money and want to keep the money.
That's all this is.
I've only got three mansions.
Patrice is still beating me.
Yeah, like, it's so transparent in all of this.
Like, this whole thing was a grift.
Everyone got stolen.
And then all the money is just being fought over by a group of, well, just assholes.
Could you go to the next one here?
I mean, when Colors describe the rest of them in that little clip as gangsters, they are kind of acting like it.
Yeah, because here's Bowers over here.
The lawsuit alleges he stole 10 mil.
So we have confirmed that he took 2 mil.
So he's trying to catch up.
Yeah, so he took 2 mil for his own consulting firm because he, you know, he consulted so hard.
He consulted so damn hard that year that he needed the 2.1 mil.
Oh, I'm consulting!
Yeah.
He's going to consult any minute now, and he did it.
And got paid two mil for that.
I've consulted everywhere.
And then presumably he's been consulting even harder since, and BLM grassroots say that he took ten mil.
He says, quote, When they know it's a lie, said Bowers, adding that the Foundation has recently undergone audits that show he did not take $10 million to his firm.
But you did take $2.1 million last year, so why should we believe you that you didn't do, you know, some real hard consulting the next year and get another several mil?
It's just obvious BS. They write in here, though, the foundation was rocked by controversy after the post revealed in April 2021 that one of its founders, Patrice Cullors, went on a real estate buying spree, spending more than three million dollar dues on homes in Los Angeles, outside, and outside Atlanta.
Because if you go to the next one here, we have that story itself, which is, yes, she spent three mil on all that stuff.
They write later, New York Time magazine revealed that the group secretly spent six mil on a mansion in Los Angeles.
Next link, please.
There you have it.
Yes.
Yes, indeedy.
So we're up to 9 mil now from Patrice.
And then they spent another 8 million on a property in Toronto.
This is under her, I think it's her wife's name.
I love the little caption here.
Allies and critics have questioned where the money has gone.
We can tell you.
Yeah, it's in the headline.
There's a bill of sale.
If you go to the next one here, this is another 8 mil in Canada, just to keep us all up the track as to what Patrice got out of all that, which is, what, about 17 mil in total, to colour's name?
And then you can look at Bowers, all the money that he's taken for himself.
He's taken confirmed 2.1, alleged 10.
So we're up to 27 mil.
So we still need accounting for about...
30 mil?
No, no, no.
Because 86 million is the figure that I saw.
So about 59.
Another 59 million.
I mean, just look around.
If you're in a fancy estate over in America, just look to your neighbours and just tell us where that money's gone.
If some really unbearable folks have turned up who just keep whining about white supremacy and they're now living in their new mansions...
Let us know.
But you can see why Abdullah is incredibly salty.
She's like, yeah, I didn't get anything.
Yeah, you didn't.
Wait, did she not get any of the big multi-million dollar mansions?
Seems not.
Too bad.
Alright.
Yeah.
But if you go to the Black Lives Matter website, they've responded to all of this, and they've learnt nothing.
Of course they've learnt nothing.
What did one expect?
Oh, that first sentence.
Today we should be talking about...
I'll just immediately brush over the whole thing.
It's not about us, guys.
It's about America.
I stole all this money, and people are upset about that, so stop talking about me.
Literally the opening line.
Today, we should be talking about Biden's Safer America Plan, which funds the police and enables and encourages state-sanctioned violence against our communities.
Oh, interesting to know.
Yeah, even Joe Biden, he's not communist enough.
No, we want community-sanctioned violence against the own communities.
Yes, we kill each other, it's not violence.
Right, okay.
We should be talking about the water crisis in Jackson, where white supremacist leaders have allowed the city's water system to fail, which is endangering and killing our people.
Again, the racial socialists.
Other people as well, but...
No, no, no, our people.
Because that's all they care about.
Black and brown people are our race, Ein Volk, Ein Reich.
They'll step on white babies if they need to, to get what they want.
You might wonder what kind of crack they're smoking these days about the fact that, oh, don't you know white supremacists are killing our people?
If you go to the next link here, this is the reason why.
Headlines like this from Salon.
There are no white people here.
Jackson's water crisis explained.
Okay.
I've seen this, yeah.
Yep.
To go to the next one here, we have The Guardian with a similar headline going with, if white people were still here, this wouldn't have happened.
Interesting.
The complaint being that they want access to white people?
Like, or some kind of natural resource?
No, like, we're the saviours.
The white saviours.
The ones who are going to make sure things like this don't happen.
So what they're saying is that when white people leave, things fall apart.
And that's white supremacy's fault.
Because we need white people here to run the...
I don't know if they thought about that sentence.
Interesting angle.
We'll go back to their sentence though, because they continue to say, instead of talking about BLM and whatnot, we face yet another round of struggle for control of one organisation.
What do you mean the only organisation?
The money.
We, the board, have zero interest in taking significant time away from our work towards building a solid, trusted foundation.
Dude, you are literally known for one thing, and that's money laundering.
No solid, trusted foundation.
We need good foundations for our money laundering, Callum.
Yeah, you could argue people know the name Black Lives Matter, they know it's an organisation, but BLM Global National Fund, who gets a crap about whatever the words are, you are literally just known for being the money launderers of the movement.
The problem is, sadly, to people like us, they're known as that, but if you speak to normies in the street, they all still...
Get taken away by the overt emotionality of that name, Black Lives Matter.
While you don't support Black Lives Matter, the organisation, that must mean you're a clans member.
No, I think money laundering should be a crime.
Like a clan.
Like the clan did.
Well, they get further and do end up saying that.
We are focused on the future and we have been deeply engaged with and committed to black liberation work, such as me and my family, having new mansions.
Liberated from only upper middle class.
They would rather take the same steps of our white oppressors and utilize the criminal legal system which is propped up by white supremacy, open brackets, the same system they say they want to dismantle to solve movement disputes.
This is an amazing...
They are saying that you suing us is white supremacy?
So Abdullah, I'm sorry, you and all of BLM Grassroots are basically white people now?
You are no longer gangster, Abdullah.
For pointing out that we launder money and have stolen it all?
Suing us is white supremacy, that's the defence.
I'm surprised it took this long for one of them to start flinging the white supremacist accusations at the other side.
Yeah.
Although I do wonder, like, what do they think Abdullah and her people should do?
Because if, you know, the legal system is off the cards, because that's white supremacy.
I mean, presumably the black liberation way of doing this would be the way they did it in the summer, which is to, I don't know, go down to all the mansions and burn them down?
Is that what they're saying should be the right thing to do?
Because what else should they do?
Hood justice will prevail.
They say in here, the Leadership Council discussed transferring certain assets to BLM Grassroots under Abdullah's leadership.
That course of action changed when the Leadership Council received a letter in January 2022.
Oh, what's the other side of the story?
Where BLM Grassroots leaders detailing countless allegations of Abdullah's financial malfeasance.
Oh, color me shocked.
It's like, right, so we're all corrupt and steal money, say BLM Global Foundation, but Abdullah is also corrupt and steals money, so we can't trust her.
The actual accusation they're making there is, no, see, we were the good ones.
We were the pure ones.
We kept our hands off that money.
Now Abdullah, on the other hand, for...
They say in here, there's a list of quotes from BLM Grassroots.
Grassroots, sorry.
Grassroots.
They say some members of Grassroots Team secretly took a book writing retreat.
Where do you think they went to this book writing retreat?
Somewhere in the woods maybe?
To get away from white people?
Perhaps the desert so they could meditate, become more spiritual.
They flew everyone to Jamaica without notifying anyone of the leadership team and didn't ask for any budgetary expenditure.
Were they in the notoriously crime-ridden, poor streets of General Jamaica, or were they in the lovely resorts?
I don't think they were there to bring Blackjoy.
I think they were there to get Blackjoy.
Also, apparently, a budget exceeding $7 million was created among Grassroots, an organization that has failed to hire even one full-time staff member.
Sorry, $7 million budget is unlikely to be well managed by their own people.
BLM Global Network Foundation learns that BLM grassroots leaders are also giving themselves a $10,000 a month stipend whilst claiming to be volunteers.
I mean, the level of corruption is just, it's humorous.
Because you have one side that is just stealing money to build mansions, well, buy mansions, not building anything.
Build a damn thing.
And on the other hand, you'd be like, well, these guys, they're more corrupt because they literally just steal it and put it in their pockets.
Only $10,000 a month.
I mean, that is less than the $17 million worth of mansions.
And for me, the sad thing is that this, with any other organisation, would be the organisation burning itself down.
But you know that people are too stupid to actually look at these organisations for what they are, and will still just attach that, oh, but if you don't like Black Lives Matter, you're racist.
You say this, but even on a leftist space like Twitter.com, I do see the responses, just everyone being like, thieves.
Like, just thieves, corruption, thieves.
Fair.
When I've spoken to people on the street about it, there's still very, very normie opinion.
Well, if you do have a friend who has a normie opinion, share this video with them.
Yes, please do.
Even BLM are calling each other thieves.
And white supremacists.
So...
They say our hearts are broken at this moment because white supremacy is in the winner seat when a movement leader takes the approach of publicly calling out comrades instead of calling in.
There you have it, yeah, commies.
In case you wondered, they are commies.
But also, if you dare to point out how corrupt we are, that's white supremacy.
Oh, we've got the big capitalism word coming next.
Yeah, I can imagine some neo-Nazis fighting over their money in their coffers.
And she's like, well, suing me?
That's Jewish.
I mean, that is all this is at this point.
It is non-strategic, short-sighted, and a trauma response rooted in the scarcity that white supremacists and capitalism has cultivated in our communities.
I don't even know what to make of that sentence.
I don't know what that means.
It's just a black version of calling each other Jews.
Okay.
It reflects a pattern that we see when money becomes the motivator.
We are serious about deconstructing and decolonizing philanthropy.
Well then give away the money.
No, you keep it.
Shut up!
I'm sure there are plenty of black homeless people in America.
Those big mansions, they could be opened up as a community place for them to stay.
John, if you can get this back on screen, because it's also the fact that they say in here, we as black people and black leg organizations cannot continue spending all of our precious time and energy fighting and tearing each other down.
That is using the oppressor's tools.
Oh no, not the oppressor's tools.
Anti-corruption.
That's a white person thing.
Okay, okay.
Do you insist?
Let's add it to the list we've got.
Alright, we've got prudence, manners, legal system, and now we've got anti-corruption.
Okay, alright.
There you are.
If you dare call it about corruption to the hotline.
The funny thing is, a lot of these organisations, in ascribing whiteness to those relatively positive characteristics, couldn't be a better advertisement for actual white supremacists if they tried.
I mean, it is like when the Nazis decided all nuclear science was Jewish science, and it's like...
Well, how'd that work out for you?
Enjoy nuke.
I didn't get to them first.
But they say in here, we look forward to resolving this dispute with blah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blah, and then they ended off with, we're looking forward to continuing to be funding black liberation and investing in black joy.
It's like, yes, for me and my family.
There you have it.
There's just literally BLM at this point are calling each other thieves and corrupt.
As in, the grassroots guys are saying you're thieves and corrupt for all the mansions and the other guys are saying you're thieves and corrupt for all these $10,000 stipends a month.
If you have a normie friend who still believes any of this, who fell for any of this, even just remembers any of this, I mean, just send them this.
You'll be like, right, okay, no one white even exists in this conversation, and instead what we have are literally the people at the heart of the movement all calling each other corrupt thieves, and when they get called that, they just respond with, yeah, well, you're white.
Like neo-Nazis being like, yeah, well, you're a Jew.
That is the level of discussion that has brought BLM to.
It's a joy to watch, if nothing else, just to see how right we all are.
We'll move on to Liz Truss.
Alright, have a pillow nearby.
Get yourself all nice and wrapped up and cosy and warm, because I know that the talk of Liz Truss can occasionally put people to sleep.
So just make sure you're somewhere cosy.
If you're on the train, make sure you're sat down, not stood up.
So yeah, Liz Truss is the Prime Minister now.
Do you care?
I don't really care that much.
What's changed?
That's the question.
That is the question.
As far as I'm concerned, and as far as I can tell most people are concerned, the Tories are just a bunch of interchangeable talking heads.
And one moving out to be replaced by another, in this case Boris Johnson for Liz Truss, who...
Ooh, managed to really just sneak it away from Rishi Sunak.
Who cares?
They're all the same at this point.
We know they're all the same.
They keep all doing the exact same things.
There is no difference between these people.
And if Liz Truss wants to go out in her campaigns and say that she's going to do this and she's going to do that, I'll believe it when I see it.
Because that's the thing, I'd be happy to be like, oh yeah, cool.
If I could trust anyone at this point, you just can't after, especially Boris Johnson, like, oh, if I get a huge majority, guys, I'll rework the whole country.
It's like, you did nothing.
No.
Okay.
No, he didn't.
And then he came out and did his speech this morning where he's saying, oh, goodbye to everybody, and all he did was brag about stuff that he did.
Oh, we got the vaccine out six months earlier than loads of other places, and Brexit really meant Brexit under me.
And it's like, yeah, but what was the point of Brexit?
Immigration.
Where's the immigration?
Oh, the immigration's worse than it was.
We don't have control of our borders, worse than ever.
The immigration's higher than ever.
The economy is...
Possibly even worse than it would have been if Jeremy Corbyn was in charge, which is quite remarkable.
Thanks to the lockdowns.
Yeah, thanks to lockdowns.
Anyway, but let's not go over Boris Johnson's entire history.
Yeah, so the Tories are interchangeable.
I will believe it when I see it.
Liz Truss has been talking about low taxes, etc.
But if you remember the Tory manifesto back in 2019 was going on about how we won't raise taxes, and then they did anyway, because...
Anyway, talking about people who like to alienate their own audience, and in the Tories case, voter base, we've got this brand new article out this morning, available for premium subscribers, talking about the business of alienating your die-hard fanbase.
Quite prescient, really.
And it's got an audio track for Silver Tier members, and it's just about how, outside of the political sphere, well...
Outside of the directly political sphere, in the media sphere, where we're looking at Netflix and organisations, they just don't know how to please their audiences anymore because they just keep releasing woke crap that nobody enjoys and nobody wants to watch.
And there are some organisations that might actually be trying to change things around.
So give that a look in if you're interested.
But anyway, let's move on with it.
So...
Liz Truss won by 81,326 votes to Rishi Sunak's 60,399, which, as far as I can tell from all the commenters talking about it, was a slightly narrower gap between the votes than people were expecting.
It certainly wasn't a landslide like Boris Johnson got back in the day, and I think that just reflects the kind of interchangeable nature of the two of them.
I mean, look at them.
They both look like plastic people.
In this picture right here, I know politicians' photos like this are always going to look a bit weird, but Rishi Suno looks like he's got a gun to his head.
It's more about the fact, like, if either of them had just promised, like, the perfect manifesto, everything you ever could have wanted, regardless of who you are, let's just make it perfect for you, you'd still look at it and be like, yeah, that's not happening.
Yeah, because for all examples, for all empirical evidence we've received over the past few years, it's not, and it never will.
Not until, like, the Tories and Labour are both chucked out and something else can go in its place.
We're not going to see any change at all.
But she made her speech, and I watched the speech live as it was going on, And it was quite funny because she felt the need to bring up and say goodbye to Boris Johnson and tell everybody what a good job that he'd done.
She said, you know, you're my friend.
Thank you so much.
You've got Brexit done.
You crushed Jeremy Corbyn.
You rolled out the vaccine, stood up to Vladimir Putin.
And then she's also like, oh, from Kiev to Carlisle, we all support you and thank you.
And there's this really awkward pause for a few seconds before people realize, oh, we're supposed to clap.
Oh, okay, okay.
Because nobody wants to...
Because everybody knows that Boris Johnson was a joke.
But he didn't achieve what he promised in regards to reforming the country.
Like, you did the Brexit thing, and that was the bare minimum.
Yeah, that was the first step.
But then he just laid down and just went, ah, lockdowns now, boys, here we go.
So she was being very selective.
I mean, you've got to expect it in politics, but she was being very selective.
And in her victory speech, she reiterated her promise to deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow the economy.
I'll deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long-term issues we have on energy supply by cutting net zero, by dropping the whole stupid charade of...
Of net zero and trying to cut carbon emissions and etc, which is ruining the country.
No, no, of course.
She didn't mention anything like that.
And she said that Tory beliefs in freedom, lockdowns, you know, pretty grinding up against that quite starkly, but okay, we believe in freedom now, apparently.
Low taxes, I'll believe it when I see it, and personal responsibility, once again, lockdowns right there, you know, resonate with the British people.
Yes, but you don't represent any of those things.
Well, that's the point about all of this, is whenever they campaign, they know exactly what to campaign on.
Like, they know what the right thing to do is, they know what the public want, and then when they get in, they just go, yeah, the hell with that.
What was Labour saying two weeks ago?
Ah, let's just do that one there.
During this leadership campaign, I campaigned as a Conservative, and I will govern as a Conservative.
Doubt.
I very, very much doubt that.
X in the chat, please.
Yeah, and let's see the response from some of the people that she was up against and some of her political opposition.
So first of all, Rishi Sunak trying his absolute damnedest not to be salty about this.
Thank you to everyone who voted for me in this campaign.
The Conservatives are one family.
Ignore all of the press leaks about massive internal conflicts in the party.
We're just a big, happy, cuddly family.
It's right now we unite behind the new PM, which is why Rishi, in particular, has refused to work under her in the cabinet because he says he disagrees with her too much about everything.
This is us uniting.
I mean, to be fair, I'm glad that Rishi's not going to be anywhere near the money printers again.
And we had Jeremy Corbyn's take on this, which was literally just, she needs to be more socialist.
They've not got around to calling her Trump yet.
No, shockingly enough.
She-Trump, I think, would be the term that they would want to use.
You can take that one for free, Guardian.
But no, they've not...
I've seen the media doing it.
The politicians are a little bit behind.
No, I've not seen any comparisons to Trump, personally.
I mean, they were already throwing out those comparisons with Boris, and it was maybe a little bit more justified, because, I don't know, they kind of look similar.
Liz Trust, though, I don't know.
She doesn't seem to have much of a personality that I can tell.
But yeah, he's just saying, oh, we need to add more wealth taxes and bring energy companies into public ownership, yada, yada, yada.
The same sort of stuff that you'd expect.
And Keir throwing out a statement as well, just saying, oh, congratulations, but...
After 12 years of the Tories, all we have to show for it is low wages, high prices, and a Tory cost of living crisis.
And for the first time ever, for the first time ever, I do agree with Keir.
Not that his solutions would be any good.
Labour is not the fresh start that a country needs.
But he is right that the Tories have been useless and made everything worse.
I love it.
There's low wages and high prices, but there could be lower and higher prices.
The thing there, though, the 12 years, I have noticed that has become a meme that's just been used against the Conservatives by its own members.
Because you'll have them saying, oh, like, now we'll have a war on work, and it's like, you've had 12 years.
Just every time, no matter what they say, you had 12 years.
Yeah, I mean, I would say it's at this point with Labour and Conservatives, like with BLM fighting itself, it's the two retards fighting meme, except in this case, it's just one retard standing in a mirror, punching it over and over again, because they are the exact same.
The Conservatives are not Conservatives as a party, they are Progressives.
And even the conservative media in the UK is just going along with the progressive line as well.
Like this amazing Times article from the other day.
The great officers of state set to contain no white men.
Is this a good thing, just inherently?
Because if you believe that it is, I'm sorry to say you're not a conservative.
The second largest group in the country has no representation at the highest office.
Okay.
Alrighty then.
Yes, and remember that the Times is a conservative newspaper, so to speak.
And this article is mainly just talking about potential cabinet reshuffles, because obviously I don't think she's announced it just yet, but she's going to be doing a cabinet reshuffle.
There's a bunch of people like Preeti Patel resigned, a few of the others have recently resigned as well.
So they're just saying, okay, based on rumors, based on leaks, who's she probably gonna appoint to which one?
And yeah, they just go on, so Liz Truss is preparing to appoint the first cabinet in history in which none of the great offices of state will be held by a white man.
Quasi-Quartering, I don't know how to pronounce this guy's surname, Quarteng, the business secretary, is certain to be chancellor.
Truss is likely to appoint James Cleverley as foreign secretary, and the role of home secretary is thought to be earmarked for Suella Braveman, the attorney in general and former leadership contender.
So Quarteng, Cleverley, and Braverman, why have they all got such annoying names to say, are among only 11 black or Asian MPs to have attended the Why are we paying attention to this?
Are we supposed to give you a little round of applause?
Oh my goodness, you've got so much skin colour representation.
This doesn't matter.
They're not asking us.
They're looking to the late party being like, are we doing good?
Are we doing good?
Keir, are you proud of us yet?
Are you proud?
Jeremy, please, give us a little pat on the back.
The most striking thing about this is how ordinary and extraordinary it is at the same time, said the director of British Future, a think tank that specialises in immigration and integration, which I can only assume means their specialty is going more into immigration, more immigration, less integration, more immigration.
That's...
I mean, that's been the plan for the past 12 years, for even longer than that.
So, you know, it's good job, guys.
You're getting what you want.
This is an extraordinary pace of change.
Even in two or three years, never mind a decade.
So they're literally being praised for being progressive at a pace that we've never seen before.
These conservatives, they're really just out of the gate.
They're doing it in ways we never thought possible.
But, I mean, if these people got the jobs out of pure merit, that would be one thing.
But that's not what they're doing.
They're just appointing them like Callum said, so that you can look over to Labour and go, please, please, Daddy Labour, please love me.
We have the proof on that too, which is that you can go back and watch our episodes on how the British government works.
And at one point, David Cameron literally started making short lists for ethnic minorities.
Which is how Liz Truss got where she is.
I was like, okay, great.
So the reason we're here is because you adopted Labour policy.
And that was back in 2005 that he started doing stuff like that when he became leader.
I read that article earlier in preparation and it's quite amazing how he just says like, oh, if we've just got a more diverse cabinet and a more diverse party, we'll govern better.
Doesn't make any sense.
Alright, okay.
It's just pure progressive dribble.
If you say so.
And one of the only amusing things to really come out of this whole thing, as well as the fact that as soon as she was announced as Prime Minister, Twitter immediately started trending with God helpers, which was quite amusing.
And I think that would be coming from both sides, left and right.
But also pranksters targeted Liz Truss's Wikipedia and swapped photos of her for random celebrities as well.
The page got locked.
But just scroll down so we can just see a few of the images as well.
There's her.
There's Liz Truss.
There she is again.
You know, she's quite changeable, old Liz.
You know, it depends on how she's feeling that morning, what she wants to do with her makeup.
Alright, this is pretty funny.
I'll give them that.
Yeah, it was pretty funny for the most part.
But they locked it because within, like, an hour, I think 75 changes had been made to it.
Because people were just trying to meme it.
Not as good as the changes that got made to Count Dankula's page that one time when he just encouraged everyone to make up random BS stories about him and put them on Wikipedia.
But, you know, still pretty alright.
But, once again...
When we talk about the problems this country is facing and the Conservatives are flatly ignoring and don't want to solve, one of the important things that is on everybody's mind is, as always, migration.
And this was an interesting one from yesterday from Migration Watch, just talking about how over 2,000 people in 50 boats just in September this year alone 27,000 in 696 boats this year alone, and then 66,000 overall since 2018.
So, I mean, it's just going up exponentially, isn't it?
And it won't stop going up exponentially until someone does something about it.
Do I expect Liz Truss or anybody else to do anything about it?
Probably not.
As far as I can tell, James Cleverley, who is rumoured to be the new foreign secretary, has been quite hard-line on immigration, but once again, it's very easy to say that you're hard-line on immigration.
One other thing to do anything about it, even Preeti Patel saying, oh, we'll just send them off to Rwanda, that failed.
That fell flat on its face immediately.
It was just a legal problem.
It's like, okay, to change the law.
You have the power to do that, and they just didn't.
I was like, right.
Yeah, sorry if I'm seeming a little bit downbeat about all of this and the idea of what's happening in England's future.
I just can't bring myself to hope, to be perfectly honest.
And just one of the other things, one of the main things that she's looking to do is try and resolve the energy crisis that's happening in the UK at the moment, which we all have gone on about so many times, so I won't rehash that, but let's look at what her plan is.
So she's doing...
Today, I think she's already been there.
If she's not there right now, she's probably already done it.
She's been announced as PM. She's gone to see the Queen in Scotland at Balmoral Castle.
So she went to see the Queen before launching her premiership.
So by the time this goes out on YouTube, you might have already got actual information.
She might have already made a speech about this.
So we'll see.
She's launched a premiership with a £100 billion energy price freeze that could last until the next election in 2024.
And they say her energy package to tackle the cost of living crisis is expected to include freezing energy bills for homes and businesses until January next year, at the least, and possibly until 2024.
So what we're doing here...
Instead of tackling the origins of the problem, which is sanctions on Russia, net zero preventing energy independence in the UK, etc., we are just throwing another £100 billion onto the fire.
In fact, actually, estimates by Bloomberg say that we might be throwing another £130 billion onto the fire with a £40 billion package for businesses on the way to.
So when Labour are complaining, saying that we're not doing enough, we're not doing enough, I don't know what they're complaining about other than to just show opposition...
Out of the habit of it, really.
Because this is what they wanted to do, just without a windfall tax.
Sorry, I was just checking.
This is the 16th Prime Minister Elizabeth has had now.
Yeah, she's been through quite a few, hasn't she?
There's been quite a change around.
It's been like musical chairs over the past few years.
Well, monarchy is not secure system of government.
It's like, yeah.
Oh, if we have monarchs, they'll just steal all the public's money.
Anyway.
"That, this is as understood, could be done through a cap on runaway wholesale gas prices which would be financed by the government through loan guarantees to suppliers.
The package would mean that for a typical household, energy bills would be frozen at around their current level of just under £2,000." Obviously, I'm not going to complain about, you know, people being able to survive the winter.
I'm just complaining about just going with the let's spend more money solution to solve problems caused by government spending more money and intervening too much in the economy.
Brilliant.
The initial cost of taxpayers would be £40 billion to be paid for by more government borrowing.
And we know what happens with government borrowing when they can't pay it back.
They just make new money out of nowhere.
They just magic it up.
Over the past 24 hours, trust allies have been in locked in talks with energy bosses thrashing out the details.
At the moment, household energy bills are capped at £1,971, rising to £3,549 in October.
Price cap is due to rise again in January, where bills are forecast to pass £5,000.
So people are screwed.
If this goes on, people are screwed like this.
And there are other solutions, but they are only, as politicians ever do, going for the short-run solutions rather than anything that could actually work out long-term.
I'm kind of annoyed by this logic, though.
It's like, oh, the price cap is going up.
That's the problem.
It's like, no, the price is the problem.
The arbitrary government cap on the price is irrelevant to reality.
This is not like rent control is a waste of time.
Yeah, that's the thing.
If you want to see what the actual market price of energy is right now, all you need to do is look at how all of these pubs are going to be shutting down, because they are going to be ruined, because businesses don't have the same price cap.
Well, they don't have a price cap at all like households do.
But it's the point of the government intervention here is not necessarily you actually fixing the problem.
No, it's trying to make it look like you're trying to fix the problem.
I always find government intervention is like playing a game of Twister with yourself.
Every move that you make will screw over the next move that you try and make to solve it.
But under the new price freeze plan, the government...
This is all rumoured, by the way.
I think this has all been leaked and rumoured.
So when she comes out and makes a speech about it, it might be slightly different, but this is what people know for the time being.
The government would directly intervene in the wholesale energy market, subsidising the cost of gas bought by electricity generators and suppliers, which would mean taxpayers taking on the risk of surging wholesale gas prices while subsidising the cost of energy for hard-pressed households and businesses currently fearing...
Bankruptcy.
So, even in this article, they're pointing out, this will come back to bite us.
This will just come back to bite us.
But, like I say, there's the old government dilemma, which is they either think you can increase taxes or increase borrowing, never cut spending.
Never ever cut spending, because if we cut spending, Labour might say that we're going back to austerity measures, and then they might bully us again.
And Liz Truss and Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak might cry about it and just have to go back to doing this anyway.
We can only ever increase spending, never decrease spending.
But just as a nice little reminder of where we are as a society, in England at least, there's a few things, like this clip of Edwina Currie, Saying how you can save money over the winter and retain heat in your flat.
Have you heard this one?
Let's play it.
This might give some good advice to the people at home.
Here's one of my suggestions for a tip, something that's dirt cheap.
Martin knows about this sort of thing.
If you put some of this behind your radiators, it really works.
It makes the whole room nice and warm, and it means that you can turn down your thermostat without it causing you any more discomfort.
I mean, you know...
Martin, Susanna, most people my age have lived in houses without central heating, but we are dependent on it now.
And just that kind of little thing makes such a difference.
Moving the sofa away from the radiator.
You don't want to be heating the sofa, you want to be heating the room.
So it seems a little bit tone-deaf.
It's annoying, because you see these conservative MPs, like Boris's kettle speech, where they're trying to give practical advice, and you get it, but at the same time, the advice is so minimal when you actually look at the bill.
The bill's gone up 80%, but yeah, here's a way of saving 2%.
Brilliant.
Just stop.
So politicians out of touch.
I mean, what else is new?
Am I right?
But then there was this clip that went around on Twitter yesterday, which is somewhat terrifyingly dystopian for a lot of people.
This is a clip from this morning, a TV show on this morning on ITV, as you would imagine, where they are...
Letting people spin a wheel to see if they get money, a cash prize, or their energy bills paid for four months.
And just, like, I'll let this clip speak for itself.
Okay, here we go.
So we've got, we'll pay your energy bills, £1,000 as well.
So this is energy bills, I think, for four months, if it stops on that.
Nice.
So, how are your energy bills?
Are you a bit worried about it all?
Oh, major.
Yeah.
I've got one of these prepayment meters and it's absolutely murder.
Oh, God.
Right, well, let's hope it lands on one of those then.
Whatever, you're going to win some money, so don't worry.
Here we go.
One way or t'other.
Here we go.
Round and round it goes.
Where it stops, nobody knows.
A thousand pounds or energy bill.
A thousand pounds or energy bill.
It is going to be...
Your energy bill!
Thank you.
We're paying your energy bill for four months.
Oh, fantastic.
No worries.
Oh, what a relief.
Thank you very much.
Listen, well done, you.
That's so condescending.
Oh, well done you.
You got the right one on the wheel.
Brilliant.
Congratulations.
So yeah, it feels a little bit too Hunger Games Capital for me.
I did enjoy Dankula's comment, which is we're going to have to start doing mud wrestling on TV to get a better place on the NHS waiting list.
I mean, depending on what you're going to the NHS for, it could be an actual cripple fight.
Yeah, that's a pretty smart idea, though, because if we all plug our electric into his house, and we all just share it from his house, ITV will have to pay for it.
Ooh, genius!
I'm going to get my electricity, and ITV will have to pay for it.
Yeah, we are truly at the fall of an empire.
I don't see things improving anytime soon, realistically.
LizTrust could change things, but...
yet to be seen.
I would like to be proven wrong, though.
That will move to some good news.
The Chileans have decided to just completely reject progressivism, which is a reason to celebrate, I feel.
I'm not a Chilean.
I don't speak Spanish.
If I get anything wrong, let us know in the comments.
I'm a fan of helicopters.
Yeah, you lovely fans of Pinochet down there.
I mean, that seems to be, just from an outside perspective, looking at anything from Chile, you're just like, right, so there's two camps in Chilean politics.
People who have, like, Pinochet body pillows, and people who have Fidel Castro body pillows.
And that's it.
But who outnumbers who?
Thankfully, the Pinochet guys, because they're more communism, that's for sure.
We'll just start off by mentioning here being Constantine Kissins, an immigrant's love led to the West, him being from someone who's outside of the West, came to the West, was like, hey, you guys have these neat things, maybe you should take care of them.
And they're not communism.
And instead...
The progressives in Chile are trying to institute the leftist stuff there.
So we'll have a look at it, shall we?
Because if we start off, here's the Guardian article.
Ready for votes.
It's going to be so good.
Vote on the world's most progressive constitution begins in Chile.
Ooh, what's in this progressive constitution?
I don't know, but it's going to be great, because they say in here, Chileans head to the polls on Sunday to either approve or reject what has been described as the world's most progressive constitution, which would replace the 1980 document drawn up by Augusto Pinochet himself.
Ooh, no.
Does this new constitution, does it hand out free hormones for trans babies?
Is that how progressive we're talking right now?
No, because the Guardian don't tell us.
Oh, okay, alright.
Instead, they have a quote from David Landau, a law professor at Florida State University.
Okay.
He says it's a good constitution.
Oh, good.
I have good links.
I like good things too.
Oh, the bad things.
They're bad though.
He writes in here, there's nothing that radical in there.
It reflects the trends in modern constitutionalism with a handful of innovative clauses.
Aha!
Alright, yeah, good.
I'm for good things, so what could go wrong?
If we go to the next one here, we have international leftists who are very happy about this.
Oh, we're going to destroy Pinochet's legacy!
Oh no, look, we're dusting him!
Oh, just like Thanos, ooh!
Yeah, we have some Italian socialists over here.
And if we go to the next one, we have Navarra Media, who are also very excited.
If you can load up that link, please, John, there's Navarra Media in there.
Who are also very happy to say that the Chilean constitution would be the final nail in the coffin for neoliberalism.
You know, neoliberalism or communism.
Which one's worse?
Pick your poison.
I'm not a fan of neoliberalism.
But definitely better than commies.
Yeah, I can still eat.
For now, I suppose.
So there you have it.
And then we waited for the results, and I suppose we're going to watch a clip, but what it is, just to mention first, we see the predicted results, just like Brexit, and then we see the actual results, just like Brexit.
it let's play i got that for the chilean reddit page where they're all crying about this That meme there.
Well, I hope so.
So, the ones voting in favour were just under 37%, and against was...
Yeah, that's quite a stark...
El!
Take the El!
Anyway, oh no!
What could be wrong?
Why would the constitution that's good for good things have been rejected?
It said it's for the people, and yet the people voted against it.
Do the people not like the people?
Must be.
And if we go to the next one here, we can see...
Filthy populists.
Typical left-wing response here.
Chile has just rejected its new plura in...
Plurinational.
It's the idea that you have these indigenous people, as they refer to them, have their own nations within Chile.
Madness.
I just assume if you say plurinational, that just means open borders.
Yeah.
This continues the legacy of Pinochet and settler colonialism.
It's like, oh no.
And yet everyone voted for it.
In fact, he writes in here the map...
Again, I'm going to butcher these names, but what am I going to do?
The Mapuches were colonized in the 1883 blah blah blah blah blah commie nonsense who cares.
Literally just here's a history tale of oppressors and oppressed as you would expect.
Except when we actually go and check out the locals...
If you go to the next one here, the local Mapuche people voted against it too.
Even higher than the average Chilean, by the looks of it.
Do you know how bad it was here before the colonizers got here, guys?
Chilean's leftist constitution was rejected 74% in the heartland of the indigenous Mapuche people, for whose benefit it was supposedly written.
The left will scream false consciousness.
They certainly will.
It's like, well, they just don't understand.
It's like, oh, that's pretty racist.
Anyway...
As we move forward, we can just enjoy more of the responses out of this, which are funny as heck.
Of course, you have some Cuban-loving commie here.
Disappointing to see Pinochet's legacy prevailing in Chile?
For now.
Forever.
You failed.
As the constitution that solidified neoliberalism stays in place, with a lovely picture of some people who are going, oh no, I wanted the good things.
That man is obviously terrified.
He's like, I've got my hands up, please don't throw the bad things at me.
What will happen now without the good things in the constitution?
I guess life will go on.
It's because the constitution they proposed was full of ass.
I know you're shocked.
I am also truly shocked that a bunch of leftists and progressives came up with the worst idea in probably constitutional history.
Are we eventually going to find out what was in the constitution?
Right now!
Oh, excellent!
This is NPR reporting.
they actually give you the details in which they say uh it's a very traditionally conservative country chile what a surprise they uh married couples couldn't get divorced in chile in 2004 and everything's been downhill since uh many voters consider the new constitution a bit too liberal uh they write it was written by an elected special assembly dominated by leftists and progressives while only about one third of the 155 delegates were conservatives
now this is where the first problem comes into play because apparently the leftists and progressives realize that they could just vote this through and then put it to referenda so they didn't bother talking to the conservatives Oh, so they were just trying to sneak it through.
Well, they just decided, well, why would we need their ideas?
They're a third of the elected assembly, so why would we ask them?
I was like, yeah, but you are going to ask the public.
And the public aren't all commies.
So...
Nah, not yet, Callum.
They didn't think that one through.
The text called for the legalisation of abortion, gender parity in government offices.
You're wondering what that is.
They actually have us.
The quote is, requiring by law that women hold at least 50% of all positions in official institutions.
What, are you trying to tank the country or something?
God.
Literal Rwanda policy.
For people who don't know, in Rwanda, it's like the majority of seats have to be held by women or something, because they decided that the genocide was done by men.
So if we put women in charge, no more bad things will happen.
Women never do anything bad.
Real logic.
And the Chilean commies were like, yeah, we'll do that, but for all government institutions, so presumably every department, everything that's going to be run by the state, which would also include the abolition of Chile's Senate...
Much democracy.
And the establishment of autonomous indigenous territories within the country.
That'll go well.
It included a vast new protections for the environment that, according to critics, would have put the brakes on the country's lucrative copper mining industry, so everyone would be poor, and also would call for universal healthcare and the right to decent housing.
So government-run housing, government-run healthcare, government-run education, they say, government-run pensions, and also a steep increase in taxes, of course, to pay for it, because we just shut down all the mining.
And on the same time, all of the positions for government now have to be 50% women.
Also, the Senate's abolished.
That was the constitution they first.
Listen, I know we're used to seeing all of this sort of stuff just being thrown about over in the West, but when you have it in a country that I don't know much about, Chile, but I assume they're doing okay.
They're doing better than our neighbours.
Yeah, they're doing better than their neighbours.
So when you've got a country that's doing okay and you just see all of this written out like this, it's just like, are you trying to destroy the country on purpose?
Like, this is the kind of stupid nonsense like a left-wing party in Europe will propose.
And then they'll just do...
Well, yeah, but like the Labour Party will propose it and everyone will laugh at it and then you've got to sneak it in, leftists and chill it.
You can't put it to referenda because people vote against that crap.
That's the lesson you should have learned from this.
Yeah, what you need is real conservatives like Boris Johnson to say he won't and then push this stuff through anyway.
Yeah, your one problem was asking the people because if you ask the people, they don't want communism.
Of course, this being a terrible idea, as we saw, hugely rejected.
Memes ensued.
I do enjoy, I just scoured a bunch of Chilean accounts and different websites for looking at what their memes were.
And I do love, like, in real time, we all have the same language to some extent, as you can see here.
It's just everyone enjoying it.
Memes are a universal language.
The leftist president of Colombia also came out to say something.
He decided to give it a tweet and say, Pinochet has been revived.
Don't get my hopes up.
If you insist, sir.
Redo the meme, guys.
Let's redo it.
Let's go to the next one here.
There you are.
He's been revived.
He's now in the top right there.
Bottom right as well.
60% rejected.
Oh, no.
Commies very upset.
Because if we move forward, there's also the funniest meme about all of this is Pikachu, which might not make sense.
It will make sense.
Is it because it sounds a bit like Pinochet?
No, is my understanding.
So this account here lists that there was this lady who used to go to the riots in 2019 dressed up as Pikachu, and it was funny.
So people put her in office, so then she's there in a Pikachu outfit in the elected assembly writing the new constitution.
Okay, how to make your country seem like a joke.
Yeah, but also the document you're writing is a joke as well, so it's even funnier.
And then if we go to the next one here, the memes made about her, goodbye.
You and all your friends, I don't know how any of those people are, but it's just the fact of like, yeah, should we have a commie constitution?
No, Pikachu deported.
I always knew there was something off about Pikachu.
Pikachu's a commie, we found out, lads.
If you have a last one here, this is just the last media headline about all this.
New York Times, who have suddenly decided that democracy is bad.
Because they lost.
This happens every time.
And that's how the left operates, yes.
If they get their way, it's democracy.
If they don't, it's fascism.
This is my favourite story about the Soviet Union, though.
Because you get this narrative, especially like the Soviets have been pretty good at hiding this from public knowledge, as in like, you know, just mainstream knowledge.
Which is that they had the revolution, and then they had free and fair elections, and the Soviets lost.
So then they just chimped out and just overthrew the country and started the civil war.
It was like...
Yep.
Yep.
That is literally how you operate.
Yes, that's right.
We believe in democracy.
Yeah.
New York Times writing in here about more things that they wanted but couldn't get in the Constitution there.
The text included commitments to fight climate change and protect Chileans' right to choose their own identity.
Quote, in all its dimensions and manifestations, including sexual characteristics, gender identities, and expressions.
Right, so the lips of TikTok approach.
Yeah, so they fully drank the intersectional Kool-Aid.
Like, I thought people were joking when I saw people like, oh, this woke Chilean constitution.
I was like, yeah, conservatives use that word a lot.
And they abuse it, frankly.
But then you're literally being like, yeah, so limited TikTok got into the parliament and wrote this.
As a joke.
She was dressed in a Pikachu outfit.
It was insane.
Like, they're asking not to be in power by doing any of this.
They want to be out of power.
It's their natural place.
I mean, they shouldn't be.
Yeah.
And then they put this to the public, and the public were like, are you retarded?
Just a Brian Blessed moment.
They're also saying here that they granted rights to nature I don't know what that means.
And to animals, which they don't go into details.
What I imagine rights to nature means is don't cut down that tree, imagine how much it would hurt the poor thing.
And rights for animals means eat the boogs.
I'm just imagining little pendants you could wear.
There's just a picture of a rock.
It's like, aren't I a brother and a man?
I judged by the content of its character.
Not the substance that it's made of instead.
Or the lack of consciousness.
Okay.
I mean, there you have it.
One of the stupidest things ever put to a pen, which is you have the right to your own gender identity, sexual characteristics.
Okay, right.
You're going to have people identifying as birds or rocks.
Because that's what we have in the West.
They didn't pass, though.
So, good news.
So, there we have it.
The one way to stop progressivism is to put it to a vote.
Anyone listening?
Put the things to a goddamn vote.
They will lose every goddamn time.
Nigel Farage suggested putting net zero to a vote, a referendum.
Maybe give that one a go.
Yeah, although I love the, you know, what are they trying to do, these people who write this?
If you have the next few links here, we can just see.
I mean, they're trying to be more like us in the West.
People who haven't seen this, this was in Britain over the weekend.
Turfs can suck my huge trans cock.
Bit rapey.
This is a quote-unquote Pride protest, not a rape rally.
I mean, the progressives going full-on pro-rape, I mean, I didn't see that one in my bingo card, but...
Yeah, so Pride has now turned into a rape rally, and at the rape rally...
Some people got together to put that one up.
And this isn't just...
We're not just being too hyperbolic by saying that, because remember, there was that BBC article where a load of lesbians were complaining that loads of trans women had just been like, why won't you suck my dick?
There were also the rapes in female prisons.
Yeah, there is that too.
There was also that the lesbians were actually removed from British Pride events because they, you know, didn't want to suck the cock.
Which is kind of the defining characteristic of being a lesbian, I would have thought.
It's very transphobic of them.
Yeah.
However, if we go to the next one here, we can see the Chileans are just also things they could take on, of course.
I mean, we look on the last image there with the Pride riot shield that they're still bringing to Pride events in the UK. I mean, for the Chilean left, once the police look like this, then you'll be able to pass all that crap.
That's the road you have to go down, which is just bring it in through the back door and not give it a vote, because if it ever goes to a vote, the public will reject it en masse.
You know, shockingly enough, for what's supposed to be a public institution...
I don't feel particularly represented by this image.
No, the police turning up with riot gear, they're going to beat you with.
With political colours on.
Because I refuse to use the zhijer pronouns.
But aren't I cake gender?
I mean, we laugh, but really, this is the state of the West.
I mean, if you were going to describe the West, this is what you end up showing.
The only one that I would ever go along with was that absolute nutter saying that she was a clown self or clown person.
You know?
Absolutely...
You know, I'll identify the rest of you that way as well if you want.
I feel your sister.
You certainly are.
Yep.
Until that day, the Chileans are still free from any of this nonsense and they're having some fun, to say the least.
Just a very good one.
The next one here is just another meme I saw that was absolute gold.
Can't translate any of that because I don't speak Sunken Armada.
No, I can translate it.
It means hoes mad.
You have it there.
The referendum on the constitution under Pinochet, in which Pinochet wins.
And then the constitution that the left is put forward in which they are crying and salty because they lost.
I do love that there's still a real groundswell of support in Chile for Pinochet.
They're just like, yes, return to tradition.
Well, look, I mean, you can criticize Pinochet.
I mean, you can try.
But the thing is, like, you compare to what is always the question whenever it comes to any country.
I mean, like, you compare, you know, stuff going on in X country and you compare it to the old regimes, right?
And it's like, well, we have these people who are actually mad, and then we have Pinochet, who is just a bit cruel.
Just a little bit.
Just a smidge.
He's like, yeah, well, the crazy people, like, at least Pinochet is coherent, in which he's like, yeah, so this country is not going to be communist.
I mean that.
I really do.
Well, that's understandable.
Have a nice day, whereas these guys are not understandable.
But I suppose until that day, we shall always have the General Pinochet song, which apparently a lot of people don't know.
So I thought, it's funny if you can just play this.
will play us out on this beautiful memorandum.
Blue to the chat, boys.
I just have a bunch of, Johnny.
I still stand by the idea that Pinochet should have come out rolling on a ball doing juggling to this.
I hope this is going to pop you, I still stand by the idea that Pinochet should have come out rolling on a ball doing juggling to this.
I hope this isn't going to pop you out.
Eh, eh.
Just stream it, Satan, down.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to get into it.
I mean, if he could, he would.
I still don't know that.
Because the thing is, I did see a whole bunch of other memes, I wasn't able to find them, just in reference to this, in which there were people from the left being like, Pinochet did this to us.
Look how he's poisoned the public to be against us still!
And then it's just Wojaks of Pinochet being like, dude, I've been dead for 15 years.
Like, I can't do anything to you!
You are just retarded on your own merits.
No, Pinochet's ghost haunts them, as he rightly should.
Let's go to the video comments.
The way my fish and chips were being served this weekend, that was supposed to imitate a cone made out of newspaper.
Just like the way they used to serve fish and chips in the good ol' England!
This proves it, guys.
England is gone.
Calum doesn't even know about cones made from old newspaper to serve chips in.
And then everyone got sick because the ink would rub off the chips and be eaten with the chips.
But the English survived anyway!
You used to be botch!
Alright, now pause that there.
She's got every point right.
No, she has zero points, right?
Did you not know about the newspaper cone chips?
What's wrong with you?
That's not true.
Return the video back to the start so we can have a look at the picture again.
Because none of us mentioned the cone, dear Dane.
Instead, what we were confused by is what the hell is that white stuff at the top?
And why is the fish looking so burnt?
That looks a little bit maybe like sour cream?
Yeah, that's the thing we were all confused by.
That's weird.
Was this yesterday?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Me and Carl were not confused by the cone.
That is fake news spread by the Vikings.
And instead, what we're confused about is what kind of weird mashed potatoes have you got over your chips?
I mean, it's not just me, right?
You don't understand that either.
No, I was a little bit confused when the video opened.
Like, let me...
I just...
Like, Sophie, like, he's got a point, okay?
Which is, just like, let us know what the hell that...
If you're putting ice cream on your fish and chips, I think we need some words, okay?
People are saying it's tartar sauce, and it's just like, maybe?
That's disgusting.
But it doesn't even, like...
Doesn't tartar sauce have more, like, the...
It's more, um...
I'm English, so I'm gonna say juicy bits.
Okay?
I don't know.
I'm from the North.
The only thing I have with my chips is gravy, because why would you want anything else with them?
Is it you people who do curry sauce as well?
Yeah, we do curry.
Curry sauce is great, actually, as well.
Yeah.
So there's two options for the North.
There's the transmission from the Vikings again.
Anyway.
She is right, though.
We should go back to eating the ink with our chips.
They're really toughening us up.
I think it actually caused health problems, that's why we got rid of it.
Might be wrong.
No, we survived.
But either way, no.
You're still here, aren't you?
Not your damn cones, it's your weird ice cream that you shove.
Also, the fish just looks so...
Maybe it's just the picture.
The fish does look like a turd.
I'm sorry, it just looks like a stick and poo.
Well, it looks like something you shoved in the oven for too long, and it's just, like, dried out to hell.
Like, it doesn't look deep-fried.
Anyway, send us more pictures.
Go back and find more fish.
At the very least, Sophie, you look very happy.
Yeah, you do.
I imagine it did taste good, but just that's, you know, don't spread fake news about cones.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
So, I've got a bit of a theory about Dark Brandon.
The reason why the left kind of...
Fell into stuff like that.
The left has this perpetual childishness.
The left has never grown out from the 90s, 80s or 70s, however far back you want to put it, of our evil opponents who want to control us and take our rights.
The Christian, right-wing, conservative, That's not what this is anymore, but they can't be convinced out of it because they are still in that childish can't grow up from that time period at all.
They're stuck in that mindset.
I really don't agree.
Because the Dark Brandon thing is him turning around and being like, right, I'm just going to arrest Donald Trump.
Otherwise, why else are you doing all this?
And that stuff, I think, is relatively new.
I don't think Bill Clinton would have arrested Bush Sr.
or Obama arresting Bush W. It's about Trump and the fact that he's from outside the political sphere, in my opinion.
I think he's right in the general perception that a lot of leftists and normies have of the right wing.
They still treat everybody as though they're Christian conservatives from the 80s and 90s and evangelicals.
But Dark Brandon might be different, like you're saying.
Go to the next one.
Just wanted to shout out this book I stumbled upon a while back about assassinations of American politicians in America using Lego graphics.
It's pretty funny, but what's interesting is if you actually flip through it, it's amazing how almost all of the assassins are hyper-leftists, yet we're told that only conservatives do assassinations.
Conservatives are very bad at assassinations, just general stuff like that.
Like, they're not very good at just...
Because it doesn't make much sense.
Like, if you're a right-winger, you're a...
You're a pensioner towards order.
In which case, why would you just...
I mean, unless, like, the country's falling into communism, but it's just not normal.
From my experience of just reading, like, about assassinations and plots and whatnot.
I mean, like, the funniest one in the UK is just the right-wing plot to overthrow the government.
I don't know if you ever...
I think it's in the 80s or 70s?
Don't know about this one.
I would imagine it wouldn't have been in the 80s seeing as, you know, Margaret Thatcher.
No, yeah, it must have been 70s then.
Because I think it was the winter of discontent.
Like, the army was actually having conversations about, should we just coup the government and put the monarch back in charge?
Because the country was going to hell because of socialism?
Oh, imagine what we could have had.
Yeah, it could have worked.
It's just the monarch didn't want to do it, which was kind of gay.
Liz being lazy, is that what you're telling me?
Yes, ironically, in a way.
But I mean, it sorted out in the end, a bit.
Has it?
Hey, Margaret Thatcher fixed a lot of it.
And then what happened after Thatcher?
I don't think that was Liz's fault.
No, I think Liz should have just deported Tony Blair the second he came to say hello after he'd been elected.
He'll banish to France.
Yeah, that would have been good.
But anyway, it's a good idea to go and read through all the American assassinations.
I imagine that would be fun.
Let's go to the next one.
Here I am at AusComic on Canberra selling my books and I just had this epiphany about why Australia doesn't have the same problem with mass immigration.
One of the things I thought was maybe it's because we've got very powerful labour unions and they resist or anything that would cause wages to drop like mass immigration and so we continue to have this strict system.
How is England with that kind of thing?
Historically, you are right.
Labour unions were a massive force against any amount of immigration coming into whatever country they were set up in.
I don't have enough information, so I can't answer that.
Yeah, I don't know the current state of the labor unions, though.
I know that they're massively, you know, basically powerless in comparison to how they were a few decades ago.
I know now they don't represent the workers, they're not interested in doing that, they're just political tools.
Because you can watch them at a Labour Party conference.
And there were some guys who went up from the steel and nuclear unions, I remember watching, and the most recent one.
And they were just saying, like, hey, we're actually concerned with our workers' wages, so we're voting against this composite, blah, blah, blah.
Doing the things that you would expect labor unions to do.
Yeah, and then you had, like, the teachers' unions and just, like, people who don't do work.
And in that regard, like, you know, it wasn't the guys who do, like, steel and gas and whatnot who were voting against it.
It was all the professional unions.
And again, it's not to say the teachers and whatnot don't do work, it's the union reps who scare me.
Because they weren't And they were just like, well, that's not a problem.
It's no issue whatsoever.
Oh, don't worry about becoming poorer.
They wanted mass immigration as well.
I remember a couple of them arguing in between are this random composite that had nothing to do with immigration.
So I think it genuinely is that if that is helping you in Australia, it's harming us over here.
As to what on earth has happened in between before and now, I just don't know.
Yeah, I mean, the teachers' unions are the same over in America as well.
That's where a lot of the intersectional stuff is getting pushed in in a lot of the schools.
Although, I wonder with the Australian...
Can you really say you don't have any problems with mass immigration?
I mean, the mass Sino-isation does worry me from the CCP. I don't know if that counts or not, though.
I don't know enough about it.
I know there's a lot of influence.
I don't know the numbers.
Yeah, as far as I'm aware, in the UK and America, teachers' unions don't serve to protect wages or anything.
They just...
Kick up a fuss if a teacher's about to get fired for some stupid reason, like if they're, you know, teaching kids how to finger themselves, you know, stuff like...
We'll defend that.
Yeah, well, the teachers' unions will defend that until it turns out that it's white people, in which case it's like, oh, fire them first, and then we can replace them with nice, diverse characters.
Getting kicked out for saying trans women aren't women.
Well, to the dogs.
I pay my union dues.
Too bad.
Yeah, pretty much.
I don't think I've ever met someone in a profession in this country who's a member of a union who actually likes their union, except the free speech union.
Like an actual workers' union.
Even the guys that work at the post office are just like, yeah, nah.
I think I've known a few people who have been just day labourers and stuff like that, who've been part of unions, and they don't mind it, you know?
Is it very local?
It tends to be, from the ones that I've met.
I can't remember exactly.
It's been a while, but still.
To the written comments.
So, BLM suing itself.
Carl Gardner says, Fun fact, it's been seven years since BLM was founded.
They have raised over one billion US dollars.
They haven't had one neighborhood cleanup, sent one poor black child to college, brought school supplies, fed the hungry, donated to a food bank, or provided housing to one poor black family.
Well, I mean, it depends on what you classify poor as.
I mean, what was Patrice Culler's net worth before BLM? One black family.
I think you'll find Patrice's family are doing very well.
Sent one kid to college.
I'm sure her family's kids are going to...
Carl Gardner again says BLM Atifar caused tens of billions of dollars of damages.
25 plus people died.
His son is doing crack and having sex with underage girl, but Joe Biden has the nerve to say MAGA are the clear and present danger.
Biden is an absolute disgrace.
Well, it's all true.
Colin P says BLM buy larger mansions in white neighbourhoods, of course.
Gated white neighbourhoods.
Did you see Candace Owens went to Patrice Cullors' mansion in Los Angeles?
Oh yeah, and they didn't let her in.
She filmed it, and it's just her on the voice comm.
She's like, hey, is anyone there who'd like to have a chat?
They're like, no.
Okay, sure.
No, nobody home.
Just housecleaning.
Anyway, but she then goes, all right, fine, and walks off.
And then Patrice put up a video on her Instagram just crying.
I was being harassed!
Sorry.
I hate her.
Omar Awad says, Black communities in America look like a microcosm of Western countries.
A bunch of elites concentrating all the wealth on themselves for the good of the community and relying on importing talent and resources ahead of becoming self-sufficient.
As the decline accelerates, the elites fight over the remaining resources at the expense of everyone else.
Yeah.
Kind of.
I mean, I don't know if that would apply to actual, like, geographical black communities, but certainly this wider black community that BLM says that they represent, absolutely.
Again, that doesn't include a lot of black people.
No.
Because remember, the black community is something that, if you've got black skin, doesn't mean you're a part of.
Yeah, BLM is just two sets of once-aligned elites fighting each other now over who gets to get the spoils.
Freewill2112 says fools are easily parted from their money for foolish causes.
Certainly are.
Shaker Silver says it's always the same with socialists and authoritarians of all stripes.
They want to be the ones who benefit the most from their grift.
Ideology and movement be damned.
Maybe?
I mean, the thing is with these three characters that we saw, well, two characters really, they do seem ideologically bent, and they are fighting for Marxist causes, they save themselves, blah blah blah blah, but as soon as there's 80 mil on the table, they're just animals.
Which is also true of a lot of the Marxists we've seen in history.
North Antonian Knight says even BLM can't stand BLM.
They certainly can't.
Somehow I don't think the cheated race grifters will learn their lesson on another dodgy organisation.
What do you make of the Vatican moving all assets into the Vatican Bank by the end of the month?
I didn't know they did that.
I didn't either.
I'm not quite sure what that means either.
How much of a play does the Vatican have in the economy?
You know...
No, but there'll be...
You imagine they're part of the elite who understand where the economy's going?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Their moves are of note, I would have thought.
I don't know enough, but I... Send us some more information.
Yes.
North Antonio Knight.
Binary Surfer says it is getting very, very hard to attribute anything other than open racism to black rights activists now, isn't it?
Callum's point was spot on.
It's like the Nazis calling someone a Jew as an insult.
Re, you're white.
They are lauding racists who would cheerfully see us dead for free, let alone if they could make a buck out of it.
That's 100% right, binary surfer.
And it's actually kind of sick when you see people talking about BLM, as they did in the past, as if there's some kind of civil rights movement.
Literally listen to them.
They're racial socialists.
They talk about black people, the same way the German Nazi party talked about the Germans.
And they talk about whites like the Jews.
It's canny, to say the least.
Omar Awad says, It's funny that that BLM video made to gloat about the success was taken down after it served the purpose of gloating about the success.
That's actually true.
I wonder if that's how the rest of they-just-started-showing-on-TV JonTron memes came about.
Global elites simultaneously aware that nobody watches their content, but also unaware that you only need one internet autist to stumble upon it for your open conspiracy to go viral.
Yeah, that's a good point.
I mean, when you go on World Economic Forum and other such YouTube channels in particular, they tend to just have, like, maybe 300-400 views per video, tops, but then there's the one video where they go, and now we shall reveal our secret plans, and that's the one that goes viral.
Patrice and Abdullah being, we are gangsters, we use George Floyd to make money, we got billions of dollars!
I mean, that's all that was.
I mean, you're right.
Because it was on Patrice's YouTube channel, then she deleted the whole YouTube channel after it went viral.
What did you think people's response to that was going to happen?
Who's actively checking BLM's YouTube channel?
Most of what they're getting is going to be off, like, Twitter and Facebook and other social media clips.
They're not going to be going to the direct source.
Because we weren't able to see that just because of the nature of doing a segment.
You have to cut the stuff down.
But if you watch the full video, I think I've still got it on my laptop, You can so tell like it's purely made for clout chasing.
As in, you know how women peacock to each other in pointless stupid ways.
And this is one you definitely see in female YouTube.
The beauty vlogosphere.
It was like this really crappy backing music.
The cuts were terrible.
Oh, I even noticed the backing music while we were listening to it.
Yeah, the stupid nonsense of the facade they put onto each other about how I have to struggle, sister, and then talking as they shove caviar in their mouth.
So what you're suggesting is that video was part of an ongoing clit measuring contest.
Yes.
Excellent.
Well, she got embarrassed once it showed something else.
I think optically she lost.
I mean, she's rich, so she's doing...
Yeah, but she took the video down, which means we won.
Yeah.
Take that, Patrice.
Hey, look, it's none of my money.
Yeah, I didn't donate anything to him.
Christ.
Let's go to the...
All right, yes, Liz Truss.
Carl Gardner says, Liz Truss being Prime Minister is like when Apple made everybody have that U2 album they didn't want on their iTunes library.
Yes, but...
But, you two didn't actually want to do that.
I think it was just Apple doing that, whereas Lyft Trust actively campaigned for Prime Minister, so she must take the blame as well.
Yeah, Wheel of Poverty, that's what that game show should be made of.
Except we're all contestants now, because we're all being made poor.
Do you remember that Mitchell and Webb sketch show?
And there was the one called, I think it was The Event, where there was just a game show where they had to take questions and be like, you'll get some food!
Where all the contestants had brain rot as well.
Remember, don't go outside!
I think it is just cold hard pragmatism at this point that means that Tories aren't pumping gas into Lidl.
I miss.
I miss that's a good show.
Oh yeah, it was a good show.
Henry Ashman says, The French have absolutely nailed trust.
They've nicknamed her the Iron Weathercock.
Not heard that one before.
In reference to her wanting to look like Thatcher whilst changing with the wind.
It's true.
The former Lib Dem, Remainer, and generally just whatever the Tory equivalent of a rhino is.
Maybe a Tino.
Yeah, she was...
John calls her the Iron Nanny as well.
But nannies tend to be quite stern and tough...
Yeah.
Oh, God, yeah.
I don't know.
I think we can do better.
Yeah, we can do more insulting things.
We can do better than a nanny.
A weathercock's maybe a bit too obscure, so we'll have to figure something else out.
We'll get a team working on that right away, okay?
Callum, you're the team.
So there you go, you little memester.
People are telling us what's Numberwang.
What is Numberwang?
Four.
That's Numberwang!
It certainly is.
I've seen reports that her cabinet will be first in UK history without a white man in it, as we covered, and that's a good thing, because that's right, she's a conservative.
I see you've been reading The Times as well.
Maureen Peters: Regarding the diverse offices of state, I never felt the need to be represented by someone of the same sex or skin colour, I just wanted the best candidate I agreed with to go get a seat.
Yeah, I know I also want to be represented by competent people, not by people who just kind of look like me.
But, you know, beggars can't be choosers, I suppose, even though that's literally what democracy is supposed to be.
But anyway, purposefully choosing someone mainly because of their physical characteristics instead of their abilities seems like a step backwards and a kind of dangerous thing to do.
I agree.
Drew Doomhand, in the immortal words of Roger Daltrey, meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.
Yep.
Soup Can Harry says, I am a conservative and my preferred candidate went out early on.
Then Kemi followed her.
And so eventually after an eon of repetition on national TV, I cast my vote.
Who did I vote for?
Well, let me put it like this.
It was not so much that I voted for Liz and didn't vote for Rishi.
What I did was vote for the candidate who had leaked a suggested cabinet that I preferred.
Whole thing was really a bit of a Hobson's choice.
Yeah, I'm not a member of the Conservative Party, so I didn't have a say in it.
But I can understand if you were a member, that would have been...
I don't know.
Like you say, kind of choosing whether you want to drink anthrax or cyanide.
I just forgot to vote.
Well, I have a vote.
I just didn't care.
Well, there you go.
I mean, why would you?
Anyway, Kevin Fox.
I'll lower taxes and improve the economy.
Money printer go...
You know it.
And Northance Knight says I might care about trust if she wasn't likely another WEF puppet.
Well, we'll see there.
Jogo, for your next comments.
Sorry.
So, on Chile, Sheikh Silver says, the fact that it failed by less than 10% is scary, though.
The country was 10% away from being a radically progressive hellhole, with only three years after they elected a millennial socialist as president, pray for Chile.
I think it was 15% or something like that.
It actually was, but either way.
There is always a continual...
No, no, the difference was they got 60% to...
Well, 60...
It was like 64%.
Yeah, 64-ish percent to, what, like 30, however much.
So there was like a 25% difference.
So it's not as bad as you're suggesting in here.
But if...
Never mind, anyway.
Carl Gardner says three key lessons from the no vote in Chile's constitutional referendum.
Lesson number one.
A constitution is not a wish list.
True.
Lesson number two, going too far, too fast, is not a roadmap to success.
And number three, the people want responsible, incremental, balanced reforms, not a progressive extremist group on the populace.
In the words of the original mad lad of our age, everything woke turns to S. In the reverse, I'm not sure I agree.
Pinochet didn't do any gradual reform.
No, he just got business done.
I do love that story as well, because the narrative you get told, like the American leftists tell everyone, is the CIA found out the president was going to raise the income tax by 1%.
Oh my god, commie.
And so they sent in Pinochet to kill him.
I was like, no, he was in direct contact with Castro in Cuba and trying to maintain relations, so obviously going commie.
So Pinochet just turned up with the army and the guy shot himself.
Pinochet's there like, see, I didn't do nothing.
He's like, well, thanks, I guess.
Oh, sweet.
You keeping this chair warm for me?
Nice.
His glasses, like the guy who shot himself, are still on display in the museum.
And it's just like, I don't feel bad.
Like, what a retard.
Like, if you literally just not been a commie, this wouldn't have happened.
If you hadn't shot yourself, this wouldn't have happened.
Pinochet just walks into the guy's office.
Hmm, interesting paint job.
Yeah, it's just...
Anyway.
Lord Nerevar says, give it five years and we'll literally be sanctioning countries like Chile and Brazil who reject the progressive march.
Mark my goddamn words.
You may be right.
There was a question posed by AA at the conference, actually, which is that if Trump gets back in and just goes like balls to the wall, let's just nationalize alphabet.
Like, for what they did to me.
And, you know, and Facebook and etc.
for censoring the Hunter Biden story, if not everything else they've done.
In which case, you know, just because you actually give them some fear.
What would Alphabet really do?
And it might be that they might start some kind of, like, war.
They've got the money.
While Google just hires a gigantic mercenary army.
Yeah, and then I wondered, would the UK government start sending over forces to protect the alphabet regime?
Probably.
Maybe.
Who knows?
Bald Eagle, 1787, says, It's funny.
The area of the world that was a playground for the KGB and CIA during the Cold War are rejecting authoritarian Marxist ideals, who would have thought, seems like the people of Latin America are going to be the ones who value basic human freedoms more than the left.
Yeah, because they know where that road leads.
It's not hard to value human freedom more than leftists, though.
Also true.
Cassidy says public sector unions need to be abolished.
They are just money laundering instruments of the Democratic Party.
Yeah, and the United States is especially funny.
I think it's in New York, actually.
If you have certain jobs, like if you're a bus driver, you have to be a member of the state-run union.
Why?
Why would you want that?
Because then you're under our thumb.
Also, did you just pronounce Casey as Cassie?
You know I can't read.
Alright, moving on.
What are you looking shocked for?
Radcheck was right, says Pikachu runs for office for a meme, gets elected.
Pikachu proposes communist constitution that would ruin the entire country.
The people, we like the Pikachu joke, but this isn't funny.
We're not voting for that.
Pikachu surprised Pikachu face.
Talk about completely misreading the room.
Yeah, I suppose on that note...
