*Tonk* Hello and welcome to the podcast The Lotus Leaders for the 29th of November 2022.
I'm joined by Carl.
Hello!
And we're talking about how Elon Musk is our man.
Not our guy.
No?
Our man.
Also Wakanda.
It's in here.
And I was right about the census.
Yeah, so that's going to be depressing, although I'm going to be arguing that you were wrong.
It's way worse.
Yeah, well, when I say I was right, I was right that, you know, it was as bad as it was actually worse, but basically I'm right about it.
Yeah, we shall begin with our guy.
So, you may have been paying attention to what Elon Musk has been posting on Twitter, and it's quite fun, actually, because it shows that, in many ways, Elon Musk is kind of our man.
Now, what do I mean when I say our man?
I mean someone who likes to have a bit of fun on the internet and generally agrees with the sort of classically liberal principles that most normal people hold.
You didn't have to say the rest of that.
The only people having fun on the internet.
That is completely true.
I didn't have to say that.
Isn't that the weird dilemma, though?
Like, what a way to view the world, and it's totally true, which is, do you like to have fun on the internet, and then you're actually a normal person?
You're not one of these weird leftist freaks.
That is a good way of putting it.
But I think this comes from Elon just being basically of Generation X, because he has a very Generation X mindset.
If you want to know more, you can go watch my Hangout about Generation X versus Generation Z. Because in many ways, Generation X and Generation Z are in fact very similar, because they are the products and the generation after very powerful and strident generations, like the Boomers and the Millennials.
And so I think that Generation X and Generation Z are a natural response to this Frankly, overbearing moralism of these two groups.
They're different, obviously, because, you know, technology has been different.
But in many ways, they're also the same.
I think it's an interesting thing to think about because it frames what Elon Musk is doing in a particular way.
For example, Elon is obviously a relatively competent businessman because he put out these slides.
And if you can just get these slides up just so you can see the numbers.
I mean, this is, you know, new users signups at an all-time high.
That's great.
I can't verify the data, of course, but I don't see any particular reason to doubt him.
Because, of course, Twitter seems to be booming at the moment.
And this is for advertisers?
Sure.
But, like, obviously, you know, the advertiser is going to be a major point for this.
But there's no particular reason to doubt that this is true data either.
Sure, but I mean, you were talking about him as a businessman, and the reason he does this tweet here is as a businessman.
Hey, give us money.
The hate speed impressions being lower than before is the important thing.
That's particularly for us.
Yeah, well, that's not for us.
Yeah, not the number of customers and the money you could make.
No, no, no, no.
Is there a rude word on the internet?
Yeah, because...
I just hate the modern world.
And Elon actually did tweet out, ESG is the devil.
And it's that.
You've got to be like, oh, no, the hate speech is down.
The numbers are up.
Everything's brilliant.
I'm the best businessman in the world.
Blah, blah, blah, right?
But the point is...
All my staff use electric cars.
My electric cars!
He's the Henry Ford of our era, actually.
But it does look like things are going well from a business perspective at Twitter.
He's cut unbelievable amounts of fat.
He's cleared out the leftists.
It's just being run by autistic tech bros now.
And the numbers are just skyrocketing.
Great.
All good.
In Twitter land, you would think.
And Elon just posts memes like this.
I mean...
Apepe me.
I don't care about this particular psyop.
To 120 million followers.
Good times.
I didn't have it on my 2022 bingo card, man.
Everyone has a bingo card.
I know, but this wasn't on it.
Do you remember when, what was it, um, Nicki Minaj or something?
Yeah.
She had a Pepe meme of, like, she dropped her ice cream and she was sad.
Yeah, yeah.
And there was this big hullabaloo at the time about how, Nicki, no!
It's the far right!
And I don't know if she cut to it.
It's a frog, dude, look at it.
He's cute.
But since that incident, I felt like the Pepe was foreboding and, um, Elon just comes back in and is like, nope!
Don't care.
Nope, I'm a gamer, says Elon Musk.
And so he also posted this picture, which got a lot of attention, for what I think is slightly the wrong reason.
I am the spy.
The big revolver is, I understand, from a game called Deus Ex.
I never played Deus Ex.
Oh, what?
I thought it was The Ambassador.
I don't mind.
No, but I heard many good things about it, so probably good.
The Coke cans got a lot of attention, which Connor pointed out may have been a slight sort of subtle nod towards Trump, because you remember Trump reputedly drank 12 cans of Diet Coke a day, and also doesn't think that he's never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.
But I think the more interesting bit is the fact that he has...
Colonial-era pistol there, with a picture of Washington crossing the Delaware, because that speaks to a particular kind of ideological commitment.
It shows that Elon Musk likes the founding of America, which is very interesting.
Otherwise, just generally quite interesting, and the fact that, again, he's signaling to a particular constituency with this, right?
People like you, actually.
That's who he's kind of signaling to.
Yeah.
Which is good.
Freedom.
I like fun.
Yeah.
Freedom, fun, video games.
Isn't it literally the target demographic of every advertiser on the planet as well?
Yep.
Like the 18 to 24 male white audiences.
Yeah, there you are.
Those people with disposable cash and who want to spend on frivolities like this.
But that's fine.
But the point is, this is the kind of person who's in charge.
It's very indicative of the kind of character.
And so Apple were like, not on our watch.
Apparently, Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter.
Do they hate free speech in America?
What's going on here, Tim Cook?
What do you think's going on?
I think Apple hates free speech.
Yes.
I think this is blatantly obvious.
Yes.
This isn't new.
This isn't new.
Tim Cook is, of course, irredeemably woke.
This is just something that he has been very open about.
There was a particular speech I was trying to find of him he gave, I think, in 2017, where he's just literally explaining, oh no, I'm a woke freak and I hate free speech and I hate white people.
I think straight people are terrible at all this.
Like he was a pastor.
Yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah, it was like...
Exactly.
Like he was literally a preacher in the church of Woke.
I couldn't find that, but I found a recent interview.
Well, recent 2019 interview...
Tim Cook, the power of diversity.
This is just a quote from him.
Still a preacher.
Exactly.
Okay, Tim, the power of diversity.
We get you.
We understand that you're reading from the good book of leftism.
You're literally a left-wing extremist.
In a rare interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook sat down with a Spanish newspaper chief to discuss his historic coming out and how that sends a message to the LGBTQ plus teenagers and their parents.
He's just an icon.
Gay kids.
And they also filed a petition in favour of Dreamers, which are, you know, those people who are illegal immigrants.
Diversity is important for creativity.
And he says, well, it's true.
We know we can create better products by being more diverse.
There we go.
That's it.
It's just diversity, bro.
Which is why Africa has the best iPhones.
Yeah.
The more diversity you are, the better your product is.
No, no.
Competence.
No, no, no.
Diversity.
The more diverse teams, we know the best products are created by the most diverse teams because products are created for everyone.
And that's why you have to pay me 500 bucks, my phone.
That's why the Austro-Hungarian Empire took over the world.
But I love that these products are created for everyone.
It's like, yeah, but look at the price barrier to entry to buy, like, an Apple phone.
Dude, that's not for everyone.
Well, there are a lot of fakes.
Thanks to China, you can get yourself a knockoff one, I suppose.
There are a lot of Apple phones in the third world.
But the question is, though, why are people parodying Apple over their censorship policies?
That's the question.
I mean, this was a parody video made by Epic Games in Fortnite about, well, Epic Games and Apple censoring them.
Let's watch it.
That'll be good.
Today, we celebrate the anniversary of the platform unification directives.
For years, they have given us their songs, their labor, and their dreams.
In exchange, we have taken our tribute, our promise, our control.
This power is ours and ours alone.
We shall prevail.
So for anyone who's just listening, Epic Games has defied the actual monopoly in retaliation that was brought in Portland with billion devices to join the fight to make Epic Games has defied the actual monopoly in retaliation that was brought in Portland with billion Okay, and so this happened in 2020, if you go to the BBC article.
Apple terminated Epic Games' account from the store over a legal battle over the in-app payments.
They're complaining that, you know, Apple's getting a 30% cut.
Epic says the fee is unfair.
I think they failed to sue them in this as well.
Because, of course, it's Apple's store.
They can charge what you like.
And so Apple got their knickers in a twist about it and were like, right, yeet.
I don't know how...
Look, definitely Apple are against free speech.
Definitely they're trying to fight Elon Musk because he's against the Church of Woke.
But this particular fight...
Not great.
But the deets of it, it's like, you know, massive gaming company versus massive distribution company arguing over percentages of...
That was actually part of Apple's defense.
Like, look, by using the Apple Store, you turned into a multi-billion dollar company.
Yeah.
We can't really be screwing you that hard, can we?
Two major companies arguing over who deserves more money out of it.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know.
Maybe Fortnite has done some other stuff that's for free speech, but I'm unaware of it.
Yeah.
But the interesting thing about that, I mean, it's not like a great argument necessarily from Epic.
I mean, 30% is a lot, but you do kind of sign up for it, and people are like, well, it's a monopoly.
It's like, well, actually most phones owned worldwide are actually Samsung.
They're not, you know, they're Galaxy, the Google, I can't remember the name of it.
They're just Samsung's.
Yeah, but it's a different, Android, that's it.
Oh, right.
They're Android types.
So that's open source, isn't it, John?
Right, yeah.
So Android's open source, but the Google Play Store isn't.
But the point is, you can install apps that aren't from the Google Play Store on an Android phone.
You can't do it on an iPhone.
As far as I'm aware, I don't own an iPhone.
If I'm wrong, correct me.
I'm never going to give money to Tim Cook.
And if you have, you should be ashamed of yourself.
But the point of the Fortnite ad, there is a kind of point.
It's like, look, you own a major segment of the market share.
You are, like, controlling...
We should own that.
No, no, no.
It's not that they should own it.
It's that it should be more open and accessible.
Fair enough.
There is an underlying point, though, that I do agree with, even though the Epic Games example is a terrible example.
Yeah, I just don't trust Epic Games care about us at all.
No, no, of course not.
You know, it's more about things like Parler that are more important.
Because Apple, of course...
Remove Parler from the App Store, even though Parler had done literally nothing wrong.
You know, there's no evidence at all that Parler was the place that the January 6th Insurrection was organized.
But the point of the Epic Games video about Apple was it was a parody of one of Apple's own commercials from 1984.
Let's watch it.
Today we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the information purification of victims.
We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests a very contradictory force.
Purification of the force is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth.
We are one people, with one whim, one resolve, one cause.
Our enemies shall talk themselves to death, and we will bury them with their own confusion.
We shall prevail.
On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh.
And you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984. before.
Just interesting how the speaker representing the leader is saying things like pure ideology and how the tables have turned.
Once Apple becomes a dominant force in the market, suddenly it is a platform to enforce an ideological regime.
It is deeply ironic.
It's part of tech companies as well.
I mean, you think the people who started other tech companies, how many of them are still around and running their companies?
Zuckerberg's dead.
Zuckerberg's the only one.
They're all gone.
Even the guys who started Google, they've got other people to run the place.
They're busy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Sundae Pachai now.
It's just completely corporate people who run all of that as soon as it gets big enough.
Yeah.
Zuckerberg's the only one left, and even he is not great.
Yeah.
I hate these adverts.
I never liked it.
Really?
Because it's a bit bollocks.
Like, she turns up, smashes the screen.
You know what happens next?
What would happen next?
Gets arrested for property damage?
Those three police would beat the crap out of her mother off and the drones would go back to working.
That is true.
Western fantasy is about freedom.
That is fair.
But anyway, so going back to Elon, he begins his kind of pushing back on Apple.
Should Apple publish all censorship actions that it's taken to affect its customers?
Well, 2 million people, well, 1.7 million people roughly, say yes.
And it's like, yeah, I'm sure a lot of people would, but of course they're not going to.
And Apple then apparently has threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store.
Okay, but as Elon says, they won't tell us why.
It's like, well, of course they're not going to tell us why.
We know why.
Because of distinct ideological differences between...
The rabbit hole might know why.
I was going to elaborate a bit more, but obviously yes, because 97% of them donate to the Democrats.
That's why.
It's profound ideological differences.
And referring back to the picture of Washington crossing the Delaware, well, the Democrats are the French liberals, the Republicans are the English liberals, and this is a bifurcation that is causing the civil war that's brewing in America.
But interestingly, they didn't threaten to remove Balenciaga...
For noncery.
Nonce fashion.
That's fine.
You know, Kanye West is like, hey guys, I'm a bit concerned about, you know, certain demographics.
And they're like, you're gone.
Kim Kardashian's like, yeah, we're not married.
But nonce fashion, Kim Kardashian's like, well, hang on a second.
I'm a brand ambassador.
Did you see her response?
I did, but I can't remember what it was off the top of my head.
She was like, I'm thinking about whether I should cut ties.
Yeah.
Really?
Children in bondage gear.
What more do you need to think about?
Exactly.
Just tell us what, specifically.
Yeah.
She's like, oh, well, you know, they may have been tricked.
I'm like, I don't know.
Really?
Over and over and over again.
Through every stage of this process to get these adverts to production.
Yeah.
Those crappy answers.
Again, Epstein never lost his bank account, did he?
No.
You know, literally convicted for pedophilia.
But anyway, so Elon tweeted this out, which...
For people listening.
Pay 30% or go to war, and Elon's going to war.
Yes.
Elon, literally taking the Alexander the Great approach.
Go as fast as you can, as directly as you can, towards the largest enemy army, and then charge personally yourself into it.
Literally the Alexander tactic.
And with tweeting at Tim Cook, that's literally like Alexander at Issus charging at Darius and making him flee.
Not even joking, this is genuinely like Alexandrian tactics.
Now, whether Elon ends up becoming the great after this, well, depends whether he wins, doesn't it?
But then he took that down, actually.
I had to get an archive of that.
It's funny that he posted that.
But then he starts talking about Apple's 30% tax.
They're making, you know, on developers who make over a million dollars a year through the App Store, they take 30% tax on that.
And he starts retweeting people in agreement, people like Lex Fridman, who are like, well, Apple should support free speech.
He's like, yes, they should, but they're also communists, you know, like neo-communist, whatever you want to call them.
And they're not going to.
They don't believe in free speech, do they?
And you get Elon replying to people who are like, well, you know, monopolies should be subject to the same limits that we place on government because you can't go anywhere else, which is exactly why we place limits on government.
And Elon is, of course, absolutely, especially if done in collusion with government.
And he also has got some interesting things coming our way, which is the Twitter files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself.
The public deserves to know what really happened.
This is what I'm hyped up.
Oh yes.
Oh yes.
What did the US government do, or whoever it was, to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop?
That's the thing.
That's the story.
Every other thing as well.
Well, every other thing as well, but that's really the story.
There's a real, like, mountain of dirty diapers here, but, like, they're...
Yeah, the main one is the...
Nappies, Callum, not diapers.
Oh, whatever.
Stop being an American.
But, yes, so this is going to be very exciting.
It hasn't been published yet, obviously.
But then this is the final thing that really cemented it for me.
This is a battle for the future of civilization.
If free speech is lost, even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.
Now, he's right, and that's something I've said many a time back in 2017.
That's good stuff.
I'm very happy with this.
Okay.
But, just to say, I think, I mean, like, Elon, he kind of acts like Trump in a long way.
He just kind of tweets how he's feeling at the time, right?
This is clearly, you know, he's just like, I'm not happy with this.
And he does this a lot, you know, he just tweets like memes or opinions or things like this.
And everything he's done so far, frankly, I think he's on our side.
I'm not, I don't, I don't disagree with anybody.
I mean, really, our joke at the start was really right.
I mean, there are two positions to take.
You play the game and don't have fun, or you have fun and just tell the truth.
And if you're in that position, you're going to end up...
Trump and Elon are the same guy in that regard, because they both just want to have fun and tell the truth.
When it comes to the fact of, well, is there a big cabal of companies and ideological agents trying to destroy every piece of freedom we have in the West and make us like China?
Do we need to debate this?
Yeah, not really.
It's so self-evident.
But the point is, I was talking to some friends the other day, and I was like, look, what we're witnessing is the conflict of two theories of history, the great man versus the organised minority.
And the great man came in, bought Twitter, smashed out, cleared out all of the lefties, the organised minorities.
And, uh, has turned it into his own domain, but that's got consequences.
And this is where the organized minority, after taking a severe defeat at the first, at the sort of, you know, the battle of the Persian gates or whatever it is.
I can't remember the order that Alexander's battle went in now.
Uh, we get it.
You're a history nut.
I know, but I should, no, no, this is, this is embarrassing.
I should remember.
Um, Yeah, it's Isis, then Galgamela.
So, you know, he's won Isis, which is taking Twitter, but now the great king of Apple and the organized minority are gathering their forces for Galgamela.
Elon clearly is just going to charge straight into the belly of the beast.
Hopefully he's good enough to win it.
But so far, frankly, I think he's on our side and I like him.
So good luck, man.
Hope you win.
Absolutely.
What's those leaks?
Yeah, me too.
Because he's going to do Monica Lewinsky's dress.
I can't remember who got the story, but they just leaked like drop, drop, drop, drop, drop over the week.
So there was no way of like, oh, it's a story for three days.
No, it was a story constantly and you just couldn't get it out of your mind.
Yeah.
Wakanda, folks, is in here.
It's within all of us, and I'm gonna prove it.
How are you gonna prove it?
It's gonna be hard, I'll give you that, but we're gonna have a crack at it.
And we'll start off just by mentioning a premium podcast on the website being Debate Might As Well Be Dead, which is obviously very relevant to Wakanda being on the inside, because I feel it.
Not real, obviously.
Can't make that argument.
Well, you say that, but I mean, come on.
Yeah.
I saw Authentic Wakandan Cuisine for sale at Disneyland the other day.
It was fried chicken.
See, the thing is, I have never watched the movies.
You're not missing much.
Your review of the original one and then Harry discussing the newest one, Like, you think you're joking at first?
I remember the first one you mentioned in your review of that, it was like they started making monkey noises at each other, and you're just like, Jesus Christ!
Yeah, I was just watching, like, okay, I'm actually kind of uncomfortable by this.
Yeah, they're unironically very racist films, frankly, so disavow.
But it's in here.
Anyway...
Because we'll go to the next one.
It's just about that.
Didn't think I threw.
I just about that statement.
But my point being that if we go to this, this was a clip from that Freemian podcast.
You should go check out the full thing.
But this is fantastic.
A Chinese student stands up in the middle of the debate between Kelvin and the race socialist and decides, in her words, here's something I don't want to hear.
Except for how debates work.
You just declare, I don't want to hear this thing.
That's what the debate is about.
My debating society didn't have that rule.
Anyway, she says she doesn't want to hear, essentially, that Zimbabwe didn't have a space program before the whites turned up, because she says she didn't want to hear that people didn't have hospitals and whatnot before whitey turned up, because that is a racism, is her language.
Right.
Okay, hang on, let me think about this.
A racism...
So, right.
One racism, please.
Well, no, what she's saying then is that the concept of racism doesn't have any moral connotation, right?
No.
Because it's not a judgment to say that Zimbabwe didn't have a space program.
It's a denial of da truth.
Exactly.
Yeah, but it's not a moral judgment to say that Zimbabwe didn't have a space program.
It's just a fact, right?
And so racism is now just a description of reality in her.
And so a-racism is an example of a description of reality.
Well, it's denying reality.
Denying the reality of the Zimbabwean space program, along with the Ghanaian space program.
South Sudan, the newest African country, their space program, I'm sure, is smashing it.
But it's in relation, obviously.
Sudanese colonies to the moon.
God.
Dinkers and the Newers still killing each other on the moon.
But the point here, she says about...
Rwandan space program.
She doesn't want to hear that Western medicine was not in Africa before the Westerners turned up, which, just wrap your head around that, but it's clearly a joke.
But the thing is, it's real, too, because it's not just a racism in this university in Cambridge, some Timpot university, I'm sure.
Also, Sky News are having to report on this within museums, the London Museum, reporting that their medicine man display...
Has to go!
The reason being that it's racist and sexist.
Right, so we're deplatforming black culture.
Well, it's a medical history exhibition.
It's a collection of this dude who's just been collecting them for years about all kinds of medicine.
And he claims, this collector, with his physical items from the time, he claims that Western medicine didn't exist in Africa before the Westerners turned up.
Or does he know?
I don't know.
I can't believe he would do such things.
Why do they think...
What?
I'll read the full text.
This is so stupid, I'm telling you, man.
The Wellman Collection display, called Medicine Man, includes objects relating to sex, birth and death, and anatomical models in wood, ivory and wax dating back to the 17th century.
A London museum says it is closing one of its key expeditions for goods after admitting the display perpetuates a version of medical history...
Based on racism, sexism, and ableist theories and language.
So, to describe indigenous medical customs, and I just want to be clear, right?
In traditional medicine, in the West, we have a weird prejudice against traditional forms of medicine, because it turns out, actually, a lot of them do have some, like, palliative capacity, right?
Right.
As in, over enough generations, they've learned that this particular kind of herb, when rubbed on this injury, actually relieves the pain, or something like this, right?
I think for YouTube's task, we have to disavow all alternative medicine.
But you are correct in saying, for example, the ancient Egyptians made a version of toothpaste before they knew what toothpaste was.
Why do we have to disavow that?
Why is that?
Because it's the terms and conditions.
What, you're not allowed?
I don't think we're allowed to.
So, it's all hokum, unless it's approved.
Okay, right, okay, yeah.
There was no legitimate healing property of any pre-scientific medicine.
No, but all scientific medicine was based in Africa before it came to the whiteys.
Right, okay.
Okay, if YouTube says that's the terms and service, I mean, you know...
Feel free to cut that out, because I had no idea that, like...
I'll have to double-check, I'm just being careful, because...
I had no idea that saying anything about pre-colonial medicine was verboten on YouTube.
But I do remember, from horrible histories, I can't remember what it was.
I don't know, I'm just going to say lithium, because then I remember what it was.
But the ancient Egyptians made this gum where they would chew it.
Are you sure it wasn't mercury?
Might have been.
And I'm a medicine man.
Unlike these geniuses.
Yeah, fair, fair.
But they used to chew it, and it really was just a very early version of toothpaste that would actually clean their teeth.
It's like, oh, that's neat.
It's not like he sat there and thought about it for ages.
They're like, no, this guy chews these leaves.
No, but they learn through trial and error.
Like, you know, okay, you've got a rash, right?
Rub, like, this leaf on it.
Okay, the rash goes away.
And if that, you know, happens enough times.
And, you know, then, like, you get, you know, a thousand years later, some Western scientists go, yeah, so we checked.
And actually, it does do this because of this and blah, blah, blah.
Look at that.
But you do also get a load of nonsense.
Yeah, of course you do.
The dog leaves.
Obviously.
And the stinging nettles.
Obviously you get a load of nonsense as well.
But they're saying here that the problem with the reality is that it presents a version of history that's sexist, racist, and ableist.
But not because it's based on facts, but because it's based on racism, sexist, and ableism.
Even if the facts were racist, sexist, and ableist, it's got to go.
What?
Yeah.
The museum said colonial power shaped how the exhibition was put together.
Well, yeah, I mean...
Along with everything else.
The colonialists had to go over there, get the things, and bring them back.
It was like saying, didn't you know medieval power shaped how we presented these medieval goods?
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
What a waste of time, that is.
The free display is part of a huge array of more than a million books, paintings, and objects amassed by the museum's founder, Sir Henry Welcome.
Which, yeah, that's a lot of stuff.
We thought that would...
Have a section of reality in it, but apparently not.
The Welcome Collection said on Twitter, the very fact that they've ended up in one place, the story we told was that of a man with enormous wealth, power, and privilege.
Right, so this is the people running his estate.
Yes.
Have become woke and are like, yeah, well, he was bad.
And he's like, why did I leave all my stuff to you?
Clear them out.
It's a ghost.
And the stories we neglected to tell were those that have historically been marginalised or excluded.
I was like, well, he didn't collect...
Well, he collected things, and the things he didn't collect...
And marginalising and excluding.
He didn't have a huge amount of Siberian medicine.
I guess that's true.
Crazy.
The global story, the display told, was one of health and medicine in which disabled people, black people, indigenous people, and people of colour were...
Exoticised.
Exoticised, marginalised, and exploited.
Or even missed out altogether.
This is just the things he collected from 17th century Africa and brought back.
Like, it's not that deep, frankly.
But also the fact they've been exoticised there is like the Africans could not rule out of Africa once upon a time.
That's a big shock.
The English were like, Africa, it's different to us.
How strange.
Of course.
Exoticization.
How dare you.
It goes both ways, museum people.
You know there are tourists that come to England and think it's neat?
Have you ever heard of that?
We have a tourism industry, weirdly.
Ooh, look how exotic.
I can't believe they do this to us.
Anyway.
It went on, we can't change our past, but we can work towards a future where we give voice to narratives and lived experiences of those who have been silenced, erased, and ignored.
And we're going to do that by silencing and erasing the voices of African medicine men.
Yes, and instead, we're going to find some Wakandans.
They're in here, lads.
And we will tell their stories instead.
We will tell the story of the space program.
This is just like, I mean, literally, calling something racist just is generally a precursor to deplatforming some black person.
Yes.
In this case, reality itself has to be deplatformed.
But like, you know, these black medicine men, or like, you remember the Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben?
Yeah.
No, no, no, we're getting rid of those.
You know, what was it, the tea or whatever?
Yeah.
The Indians gone off there.
Yeah, I know.
So we'll leave the land, but take the Indians away.
There are a lot of products that still have white women on them or white men just being like, hey, it's a product.
Exactly.
Like, the white people are being removed, but the black and Indian people are.
In response to all that, there was a black YouTuber, I've forgotten your name if he's watching, but he made a pancake mix with his own face on, his own recipe, started selling it on Facebook Marketplace.
Facebook Marketplace deleted him because it was racism.
No blacks.
That's racist.
It was a picture of himself doing this.
Jesus, Facebook.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
The irony of this is just unbelievable.
We tried to do this with some of the pieces in The Medicine Man using the artist's interventions, but the display still perpetuates a version of medical history that is based on racist, sexist and ableist theories and language.
What language?
Was going through my head.
They haven't actually named anything yet.
This is why this Sunday, November the 27th, we'll be closing The Medicine Man for good.
Another black man deplatformed.
Can't believe it.
Progressive.
It calls its decision a significant turning point.
I would like to have seen this display, actually.
And it prepares to transform how it collects and how its collections are shown.
Again, what was wrong?
I still don't know.
Literally nobody, you know, everyone's just enjoying the display and then some woke white progressive comes and goes...
This has got to go.
Just gets a flamethrower.
Yeah, no blacks in here, thank you.
Racist, sexist, and ableist, don't you know?
And aware of the Irish.
What are you talking about?
The Wellcome Collection has pledged to establish a new project in the coming years which will amplify the voices of those who have been previously erased or marginalised from the museums.
So we found there were cannons.
We're going to go get them.
Okay.
In 2019...
But not the medicine men.
Melanie Keane was appointed the director of the Wellcome Collection.
Oh, there we go.
Yeah.
Every time.
And reportedly pledged to be courageous in dealing with the most contentious items on display.
But anyone's wondering, it's not about the surname, it's about the first name.
No.
She highlighted a 1916 painting by Harold Coping of a black African kneeling in front of a white missionary.
The piece, called A Medical Missionary Attending to a Sick African, is now in storage.
We've hidden it.
I love this.
It's a painting of a black African kneeling in front of a white mystery.
You think, oh my god, it's about slavery.
It's like, no, the guy's sick.
I'm here to help.
Well, that's not allowed.
Because, of course, they had Western medicine before we came.
Or that would be, to quote a great speaker, a racism.
Exactly.
If it was about slavery, I'd be like, okay, maybe I don't understand.
Should we check it out?
Let's check out the painting here.
Horrific.
Oh, right.
So it's not kneeling in front of it.
It's holding someone up who's sick.
No, the white guy's kneeling there.
And Jesus is there, so, you know.
So for people listening, it's a missionary who's motivated by Christ.
Horrible.
He brings Western medicine to an uncontacted tribe.
You can see they're still living in mud huts in the back there.
And the progressive is like, not on my watch.
No, they had the Western medicine, and then the evil whitey turned up here and gave him the illness, presumably.
He just spat in his face.
Look at him, spreading smallpox.
Remember, the entire area of Africa is just like the Indians.
Remember, 99% died of diseases we brought there, not the other way around?
Yeah, no, Africa's been in contact with the old world for a long time.
Yeah, their diseases were the ones keeping the whiteys away for a long-ass time.
No, that's unervenously true.
The Dutch got malaria problems, like, really, really soon after just travelling north just a little bit.
We had to wait for germ theory to colonise Africa because we were actually getting murdered by the germs.
The thing as well is you can see the tribe wants the help.
One of them's holding the boy.
One of my family's dying.
Can you do anything?
Actually, I do have some medicine for this.
And the progressives are like, no, you don't.
The progressive time traveller comes in, just executes the white man, steals the medicine and buggers off.
You're welcome.
Anyway, yeah, this never happens.
Whitey needed us, boys.
Preposterous nonsense.
Catch you wondering.
This isn't sponsored, but I just thought it was funny.
Because when I looked up the painting, I was able to find this.
This is a website that will print it off for you.
Put it in a lovely frame so you can hang it over your office and oppress the minorities in real time.
And we have an artist's rendition of what you can have, for example.
Just the artist's rendition.
How colonial does that look?
White chair, white desk, white laptop, white background.
Very white Jesus.
The thing is, when everything's white, you know it's a black guy as well.
The old family guy joke.
There you have it.
Just makes me laugh.
The all-white oppressive office there.
Kneeling in front of a white man.
He's kneeling.
Yeah, the white man kneels.
I just, I hug it over.
It's so ridiculous.
It's weird that they have to lie about this painting.
No, they can never show you it, can they?
No, but they've got like, oh, it's a black man kneeling in front of a white man.
No, they're both kneeling and tending to a sick man.
Yeah.
They're painting.
They could find a photo of that and put that on the article.
They won't.
But they could have just described it accurately, but they won't.
We'll go to the Times, because the Times has a little more information.
Oh, go on then.
They said, a welcome collection announced the closure on Twitter, saying, what's the point of museums?
What do you do?
I run a museum!
I've come to the conclusion that there's no point for us existing.
I'm not trying to screw it up.
They say, what is the point of museums?
Truthfully, we've been asking ourselves the same question.
That's so bizarre.
The dude entrusted his entire life's work to you.
Yeah.
And now the people are like, well, why do we do this?
What do you think?
Pure demoralisation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He could not get more transparent.
Yeah.
In case you're listening, what's the point?
Preserve historical relics for public display to educate the ignorant public on how the past was.
Yeah, that's what a museum is traditionally for.
There you are.
I don't know why I have to say it.
Took me two seconds to write that down.
Still butch the pronunciation, but whatever.
It said, Welcome's aim of collecting vast numbers of objects that would enable a better understanding of art and science of healing throughout the ages was problematic for a number of reasons.
Who did these objects belong to?
How were they acquired?
What gives us the right to tell these stories?
No, no, that's great, because I'm going to walk into that museum and be like, no, you're right, you don't have the right.
I have the right.
Do you know what gives me the right?
The fact that I say I have the right.
End of story.
Get out.
It's my museum now.
Look at me.
I am the museum curator now.
I mean, I thought that, you know, it belonged to him by purchase.
Therefore, belong to him.
But never mind.
What gives you the right?
Well, he gave them to you to hand out.
Ownership is what gives you the right.
Yeah.
I mean, they were donated to you in trust.
Yes.
bad trust, it turns out.
The result was a collection that told a global story of health and medicine in which disabled people, black people, indigenous people, and people of colour blah blah blah blah. - Well, no, hang on, hang on.
We're exoticised, marginalised and exploited.
Hang on, no, no.
The result of a collection of African traditional medicine artefacts is not exoticising, marginalising or exploiting Africans.
What it is, is representing them.
It is representing something that is otherwise absent.
And they're like, yes, but we don't like that, so that has to go.
And so now they are not being represented, so they aren't there at all.
African representation isn't important in the African section of the museum, thank you.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, I do love as well the idea that you're exoticising disabled people.
Come on, when?
Who does that?
That's just not a thing.
But how are you marginalising Africans by having a re-presentation of African things?
That's centring them.
That's privileging them.
Anyway, they then whine about the privilege again.
It's just pointless.
But we'll go to Cambridge, because they've had even more of this kind of demoralisation.
I thought I'd throw it in here as well.
Trans-Jesus.
Yeah, Cambridge University.
Remember where that from debate was from, that we did the premium podcast on.
A college dean is in a heresy row over a sermon suggesting that Jesus had a trans body.
I love that we're in heresy rows in the year of our Lord 2022.
That's heresy!
Michael Banner over here of Trinity College said such a view was legitimate after a congregation of members was left in tears by the sermon.
What has become a Christianity?
You've got all the Christians just in tears of, like, I just want to leave.
Why am I here?
Sorry, we'll get to that in my next second, because it's just gold.
The Anglican Church is basically on the verge of just shooting itself for the public good.
Joshua Herth, a junior research fellow who supported his claim by showing three medieval and renaissance paintings of the crucifixion.
That would stand up in court.
Yeah.
Who's your witness?
Well, he lived a thousand years after the fact.
I've got a picture from Leonardo of the wound of Christ.
And what did it look like?
Well, it depicted a side wound that the guest preacher likened to a vagina.
I mean, he's taking the piss.
If you look at this picture of Jesus that someone drew, it looks like a fanny.
He's trans!
Idiots.
That's literally the argument, isn't it?
Hearth, whose PhD was supervised by...
PhD!
Looks like a fanny!
It was supervised by Right Reverend Lord Williams of Oystermouth.
English place names.
A former Archbishop of Canterbury.
I mean, you couldn't get more high in the church.
Also told worshippers that in the prayer book of Bonne of Luxembourg from the 14th century, the wound was isolated and takes on, quote, the appearance of a decidedly vaginal appearance.
Our two Canterbury's argument is it looks like a fanny.
In Christ's simultaneously masculine and feminine body in these works, if the body of Christ is, as these works suggest, the body of all bodies, then his body is also a trans body.
Okay, you failed the course.
This is just ridiculous.
Honestly.
We have a quote from one attendant who was in tears by the end of it, along with everyone else.
In tears of laughter, probably.
Yeah.
Quote, I am contemptuous of the idea that by cutting a hole in a man, through which he can be penetrated.
This is very transphobic.
He becomes a woman, said one attendee.
Deeply transphobic.
Yikes.
Disavow.
I think we do have to say Christ is a woman.
Yeah, yeah.
I love the terms of service.
Thanks, Longinus.
Why is this happening?
Money, of course.
This never went away.
I mean, this is really Douglas Murray's madness of crowds, but I thought we'd just go through some of this.
You remember Sarah Rao?
I do.
The Windows XP woman who collapsed.
White people are in charge of anything.
Men are in charge of anything.
Therefore, the structure is institutionally patriarchal and white supremacist.
And now that Rishi Sunak's in charge...
Dun-dun-dun-dun.
Anyway, so she's delighted to say she's releasing her forthcoming book, White Women.
Okay, hang on.
Let's hear her out.
This is a very suitable book for a white woman in your life.
I'm actually interested in reading our thoughts on one.
This is basically a book that says you're racist.
$12, please.
Yeah.
And we're going to go to the Amazon listing.
White women are the worst of it.
Let's have a read.
$12 well spent.
So I'm going to read out just some of it.
Oh, I should have bring the critical race theory textbook.
I forgot.
Crap.
Oh, well.
I can remember it.
I know what you're going to talk about.
So, um, she starts off, she says, it's aimed at white women who want to stop being nice and start dismantling white supremacy because you have to be a...
Ah, right.
White supremacy is being nice.
A B word.
She writes, quote, it's no secret that an American society encourages women to be nice, polite, and conflict avoidant.
But when it comes to addressing racism...
They only serve to uphold the status quo, white supremacy.
If white womanhood is a house, you need to be perfect, being its foundation.
Being perfect is key to your happiness and your success, to your very existence, white women.
Perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect grades, perfect nails, perfect weddings, perfect bodies, perfect adoring and supportive wife and mother, perfect employee and colleague.
Has she ever met a white woman?
And then she just writes, like after that big long list, white skin.
And then there's a gap.
Okay.
The foundational principle on perfection is a white supremacist society like ours is rooted in whiteness.
Without it, your hair will never be straight enough.
Your trophies will never be shiny enough.
Your fiery dresses are a bit wilted.
Okay.
I mean, like, she seems to be, like, talking about some incredibly idealized view of, like, 1960s America.
1930s?
Yeah, probably even further, yeah.
Mad.
I've just saved everyone 12 bucks.
Yeah, so I'm just thinking of, like, you know, the communities I grew up in as a kid.
And, like, the idea of perfect anything.
White men have all this perfect stuff.
It's like, nah, no we didn't.
Do you have any more coal?
Yeah, literally don't know what you're talking about.
She then goes on to just list how she was a racist once upon a time.
But not anymore.
I'm not joking.
I used to be a racist, but then I decided to hate white people.
Since the Enlightenment, she's not racist anymore.
I'm just going to read one review.
Five stars from a white lady with a Slavic name.
Yeah, of course.
No Polish woman would agree to this, but some immigrant who went to America.
Here's the truth!
Racism is in the air we breathe!
Okay, it's invisible.
This is the perfect book to wake us up.
I love the correlation of how our niceness is holding up white supremacy.
Go insidious.
Get this book and then get ten copies and share it with everyone, writes one deluded American white woman.
You know they really believe this, don't you?
Oh, yeah.
There's whores of white women.
They view Western civilization as the product of white thought and industry.
And so it is intrinsically a white racial project.
They can't say it any other way.
The last one here, just going to mention, she's actually...
It's making a big deal about the fact she's having more white women than ever reading her books.
So I suppose that's why she published this new one.
It's a good grift, man.
Literally, there are loads of white progressives in America, mostly women, who want to be told.
This is how Robin DiAngelo got her big break.
It was just like, look, I'm just flagellating white women and they love it.
Getting back to all this, to go back to the Wakanda aspect, I should have brought the Critical Race Theory textbook, but I don't have it.
So if we can get up the unrelated image to what I'm about to talk about, Wolfenstein fans in the chat, we're going to talk about an essay in there, which you alluded me to, called Sapphire Bound.
Yeah, by Regina Austin.
This Critical Race Theory keywritings that formed the movement was edited together by Kimberley Crenshaw, the woman who coined the term intersectionality.
And is essentially the core canon of intersectionality.
It's taught at universities, that's why I had to buy it for like 50 quid.
It costs a fortune and it's a massive book.
And it's about as well written as Sarah's work.
It's not that it's not intellectual to be honest, it's that it's...
It's just balmy.
Yeah, it's like reading a Nazi handbook.
So the cliff notes of what I wrote down from the book, which is we have Regina over here who tells us she grew up thinking that Sapphire was merely a character on the Amos and Andy show, which is a show from the 1940s.
So nice and relevant.
I've never seen it, actually.
No.
I had a look at the show, actually.
And Sapphire is a perfectly reasonable woman who's just really angry at this one guy who's a layabout.
Well, yeah, he doesn't make much money, and when he does, he's just cheating people out of money.
He's just a bit of an ass.
So, fair.
Yeah, seems perfectly fine.
But she says, A figment of white man's racism.
Sexist comic imagination, is what she was.
Little did I suspect that...
A reasonable black woman?
What?
Little did I suspect that Sapphire was more generally employed...
But she writes...
Okay, Regina.
I mean, that's what the con artist is thinking.
Black bitch hunts are alive and well today, she says.
In the territory where minority female law faculty labour, there are so many...
I guess in Harvard Law School there's black bitch hunts going on.
Oppression.
You've never had it harder.
There are so many things to get riled about that keep quiet is impossible.
She's saying she's becoming what she thinks a proper black woman is, which is okay.
I think the time has come for us to get truly hysterical to take on the role of professional sapphires.
What does that mean in practicality?
She gives us the example of Chambers v.
Omaha Girls Club.
She says 90% of the participants in the Girls Club were black women.
Chambers, an unmarried black woman in her early 20s, was working with the Girls Club.
She was meant to be a good example to the young ladies.
Yep, she was discharged from her job when she became pregnant.
Her dismissal was justified by the club's no negative role model rule.
Negative role models in the girls club, wrote the rules, included such things as being a single parent pregnancy.
Black club that was mostly for black girls, run by black people.
Had a rule saying if you get pregnant and you're not married...
That's a bad role model.
So a black woman sued, saying it was racism against her.
She maintained that the rule would disproportionately have an impact on black women.
It's only black women in the club, what do you want?
She says, Yeah, the court ruled that raising a bastard is not a good role model.
It's not good for the kids.
75% single motherhood in the black community now.
Data rules that out.
It's probably the worst thing you could do.
Yeah, I mean, short of physically abusing the child.
I mean, I do one day want to sit down and compare the effects of drinking while pregnant and single motherhood.
Great question.
I mean, that would be an explosive podcast.
We'll do that soon.
It's not good for the kids.
But she says, it is likely the club sacked her in part because she resisted its efforts to model her in conformity with white middle class morality.
It's a white thing to have a father.
Well, that's her opinion, yes.
Crystal Chambers refused to accept the yoke of paternalism.
Our oppression!
Oppression for herself and thereby freed the girls club by getting pregnant by a random guy.
Okay.
Salute.
Yeah, this lady still has a job, in case you're wondering, as well.
We'll just check that out.
She still works at the University of Pennsylvania in the law department.
If you go to the next one, please, John.
And there you are.
Good luck, students.
And I love this.
Look, professor of law, proponent of critical race theory, anti-capitalist.
Oh, duh.
Views America as a nation awash with racism.
Yeah, mostly her.
She sat there going, yeah, if you're black, your father walks out on you.
Believes that non-white minority status confers the privilege of interpreting law as one pleases.
Do what I like!
She's literally like the Eric Cartman of critical race theory.
Yeah, anyway.
Do what I want!
Just ending off.
There we are.
Where's Wakanda, lads?
It's in here.
That's where it is.
It's that.
Just as long as we believe it.
But otherwise, that's that.
It's pathetic.
Absolutely pathetic.
Good God.
The absolute state of crystal race.
I love how it's the Joe Biden position.
If you vote for Trump, you ain't black.
If you've got a father, you ain't black.
Disavow.
Lots of disavowals going on.
This is the progressives, man.
They've got such horrifically low standards.
Everyone.
Yeah, everyone.
And they want to get rid of all the minority representation.
Anyway.
So I was right about the census.
Not happy about that.
I think on a dark note.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
Today was the release of the ethnic data from the census.
It's actually worse than what I predicted.
Not much worse.
Basically, within a margin of error, I'm basically right.
Which I think my predictions bore out.
We'll go through in a minute.
But if you want to support us, go over to our merch store.
It's merch.lotacies.com and get this wonderful t-shirt that I designed.
They're lying.
We know they're lying.
They know we know they're lying.
And yet they are still lying.
And this isn't Solzhenitsyn, although it is the sort of thing he would say, which is why it's constantly attributed to him.
But the point is about this, and I love the general theme of this quote, because it shows you the total lack of respect that the people in charge have for you.
That's the thing that really bothers me about this.
If they can look you in the face and know that they're lying to you, and know you know they're lying, and yet they're still just blabbering out lies, that's the end of any kind of accountable civil society.
That's what a tyranny is.
And that's why I like this so much.
So if you want to go support us, go get a t-shirt, and we'll begin.
Because I started...
Last year, I produced this article...
No, no, earlier this year, sorry, March this year, I produced an article saying, you know, the census data proves that Britain was not an Asian immigrant.
You can just scroll down to the graphs just so you can see it, right?
I just went through the census, yeah, that graph, right?
So you can see the percentage of the population that was immigrant.
I mean, that's the raw numbers.
You can go down just so you can see the percentage.
Scroll down to the list, there we go.
So you can see that back in 1961, it was like 3%.
This is not an Asian immigrant.
This is a modern phenomenon that happened.
In the 20th century.
I'm shocked.
Shocking to know, I know.
It's annoying because it actually is for quite a lot of young people.
Yeah.
With no concept.
Yeah.
This is new.
This is since 1997 when something happened and historians are still yet to uncover what in those...
Well, we're close.
...in those remote times could have happened.
LAUGHTER I love that meme.
Tom Harwood's team of researchers just night and day sitting around, just something occurred.
Anyway, so as you can see, this is the case.
And in this article, I was going through just lots and lots of data on it, and I put that the Oxford Migration Observatory's net migration to the UK between 2011 and 2019 was 251,000 people.
And so if we assume that was an average for 2020 and 2021, we get a total of 2.51 million new migrants for the decade ending in 2021, putting the total number of foreigners living in England and Wales at about 13.4 million, of a total population of 58.5 million, assuming the overwhelming majority of those did not move to Scotland, which of course they didn't.
This would make the foreign population of England and Wales about 23%, up 4% from 2011, and centralised mostly in cities.
Including estimates of illegal immigration, it is conceivable that somewhere in the region of 25% of the population of England and Wales is now foreign, as in non-English and non-Welsh.
And I was basically writing the money there, wasn't I? Sadly, because the data came out today.
Yeah, the next one was the first batch of data that was released about the census was what I covered in the, yeah, specifically foreign-born.
And so one in six residents of England and Wales are just directly first-generation immigrants, which is a huge number, 10 million in 2021.
And I predicted a population of 58.5 million, and actually it's 59.5 million.
So there's an extra million people that we're unaccounted for.
And in the...
So this data was released in 2021.
Between this data being collected and now us speaking, there's an extra 500,000?
Yes.
Because...
Conservatives just love us, I guess.
It's amazing.
Last year, another half a million.
So that's 60 million.
So all this data is actually even...
The reality is even worse than data.
It's actually out of date already, because every year the Conservatives...
The rate of change is getting so fast.
Yeah, just raise the gate and just keep bringing people in.
So yeah, it's now 60 million people.
But anyway, we'll go on the 2021 data, just because that's what I wrote out.
And of course, this is driven by immigration.
Anyway, let's move on to the 2021 ethnicity data.
So, in 2021, if you go to the next one, just so we can actually see their data, 81.7%, which is 48.7 million of the usual residents in England and Wales, identified their ethnic group with the high-level category of white.
Now, that just means skin colour.
That doesn't mean, actually, ethnicity.
That means race.
Where you come from, I mean, believe it or not, lots of white people who aren't English in England.
They're called Albanians.
I know.
You do run into so many people who can't make that distinction.
You just think, how do you function?
But also Romanians, Poles, Germans, French.
I love Salmonella's versions.
You've got Swede, Slovak, Slovakian, Spanish, and that's just the ones beginning with S in Europe.
There's a lot of ethnic groups.
There are, and they're all white.
But they say, And so, in the previous article, I predicted...
That there would be, quote, approximately, I said, we can reasonably estimate that the 2021 census shows there to be approximately 45 million English and Welsh people, because this has been actually a remarkably consistent number.
So 44.4 million, pretty reasonable estimate.
Pretty accurate.
To the nearest million, okay, I'm a bit out.
0.6 million, you know, 600,000 people out.
But roughly correct, right?
So this means that in England and Wales, one in four people is not English or Welsh.
Mad.
Never used to be like this?
It wasn't like this 20 years ago?
No.
It was mental.
It's even worse than that, because as I said, there's another 500,000 around on somewhere.
There is.
Not to mention the 70,000 illegals that came last year alone.
So this is just mental, frankly.
The next most common high-level ethnic group was Asian, Asian-British, or Asian-Welsh.
What the hell's an Asian-Welsh?
Welsh isn't an ethnic identity.
Ethnic identities are things you were born into?
Yeah, you could be Asian or Welsh.
Do you remember that guy when we were campaigning at Pontypreth?
The guy at the lab we met?
It was the cutest thing ever.
This Asian guy with a Welsh accent.
Your brain had to do a double take for a minute.
Okay, okay.
Fair enough.
But anyway, the Asian population is 5.5 million.
The Welsh population in Britain is 1.7 million.
There are nearly three times more Asians in Britain than Welsh.
Yep.
I think there are more Pakistanis than Welsh.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Anyway, moving on to the nationality data, although we covered this previously, and we're running out of time, so I don't know if it's too terribly useful.
But the thing I think you wanted to talk about, actually, was the number of people who, the decreasing number of people, who describe their national identity as English-only switching to British, right?
Right.
Yeah, this is...
I don't know if you can scroll down until you find a graph, because that's probably the best way to represent it.
And you can see, like, 20 million people changed their answer in 10 years.
To British only from English only.
So in 2011, you had basically a small number of people just saying, I'm British only.
And most people said, well, I'm English.
That doesn't make any sense, anyway.
No, but it would be someone who's sort of like a child of empire, disconnected from every place they came from.
They just become British only.
And it was quite easy, because then you could actually track things, and it would be going on like this for every other census.
And then in the last 10 years, presumably because of the Brexit referendum, this happened.
20 million people have changed their vote from being English to being British.
So now, this is useless?
I can't track anything with this.
But also, just to show you the sort of dissolution of the English identity, right?
It's like, oh, well, I don't feel like I am English, so why not?
You live in England, why should you not feel like you're English?
It's like, no, I just feel like I'm occupied by the British Empire, thank you.
20 million people.
It's crazy.
Unbelievable shift.
It's just deeply disappointing.
The concept of England and the English is just being erased.
Anyway, I thought it was quite interesting that people who identified with at least one UK and one non-UK identity were only 2% of the overall population.
So these are the people who are the product of intermarriages, right?
You think normally the way that in history, like when one tribe would move into the area of another tribe, you would intermarry.
That's how you blend the two together and that's not happening.
So this is what we can see is integration is just not really happening at all.
There is a solution to this.
It's pretty authoritarian.
Well, wasn't it like they did in Peru or something?
That's what I was going to bring up.
I think it was Paraguay.
I might be wrong.
I might be Bolivia.
There was the local Indians and the Spanish colonists, and there was racism.
So the new dear leader decided, I don't like racism.
I'm going to solve this.
He made it illegal to not race mix.
So if you wanted to marry someone, it had to be of a different race.
So all the colonists had to marry the Indians, and the Indians had to marry the colonists.
There was a couple of generations, and then we could tell the damn difference.
So, pretty authoritarian.
Got the job done though, didn't it?
No one calls Paraguay a racist country, do they?
We need to be anti-racist.
But the point is, this is only 1.2 million people.
That's a really small number, considering the number of foreigners here.
What's also interesting is those who selected a non-UK identity only, so not even like Asian-British sort of thing, was 5.8 million people.
So these, I think, you could call the mercenaries.
I'm not British.
I don't care.
I'm just here for the money.
Yeah.
I've met a few people like that in my life.
Yeah.
Just literally, I'm just here until you have an economic collapse, bro.
I met a Saudi lady once.
She was just like, I hate everything about this place.
I can't stand your culture.
Highly Islamic all the time.
She's like, I'm just here for the money.
I'm like, oh, great.
Glad we gave you a visa.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they'd be the mercenaries then.
So yeah, and it's just generally disappointing.
You were posting about them being essentially psyoped into not being English, which I think is probably the way to suggest it.
Do you want to explain this graph?
This is the diaspora.
This is something we don't think about in the West for some reason, but we do with every other ethnic group.
I thought, why not match it?
So this is the...
I had to do rough data because that national identity data is now worthless.
But if you run the numbers, this is what the diaspora of the English looked like all over the globe.
And there are a couple of other small minorities, but they're not really worth mapping, as you can see.
So, the majority of the English don't even live in England.
That's true, yeah.
That's the first thing.
That's interesting, isn't it?
Because that implies there are about 90 million English worldwide.
Yeah.
And most of them are out...
Well, most of them are in the UK, and then the second biggest group being the Americans, where they're just hanging out there, and Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
There's some rough estimates about what's in South Africa, but the data's too crap to actually use.
I thought people might find that fun.
Yeah.
And so the ONS has given us the ethnic composition of England, which I think is interesting.
Again...
It's going to be about 75% English and Welsh and Northern Irish and Scottish, and then 25% just other.
Wales, though, the composition was a bit different.
93%, eh?
So you can see where the immigration is centralising.
Yeah, this is the other kind of annoying thing for us.
We want to look at where we live, and frankly, yeah, okay, England and Wales are brothers and all that, but if we wanted to actually look at the reality, I would carve them off and just, can we map England?
But the data agency won't do that for some reason.
Yeah, it's weird.
But yeah, the immigrants aren't mostly going to Wales, or even proportionally going to Wales.
So this is changing the character of British cities, English cities specifically.
You may remember John Cleese saying, well, London's not an English city.
It's not even close anymore.
No.
In 2011, it was 44% English, so minority English even then.
And we had a sweepstake going through the office, didn't we?
Yeah.
What did I say it was going to be?
I can't remember.
About a third.
What is it now?
36%.
So, about a third.
Because that's 36.8 there of English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish, or British.
And, well, a lot of those aren't English, so delete those numbers.
I'm probably about right.
Yeah.
Well, certainly.
Yeah.
What?
How did I know?
How did I know?
So, about a third.
So, I'll take everyone's tenner.
Just repopulate the cities, guys.
Take them back and say...
I have no idea.
The world is just too big.
Okay.
And there are other major cities that are minority English.
It's not just London, obviously.
I think it was just London last time.
Yeah, it was.
No, I think Birmingham, actually.
Although, Birmingham might have been like 55% or something.
I'll have to check.
Yeah.
But now, it's more.
Sorry, can you get back up the list, the Calum are given, John?
London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester, and Luton.
And those are the four local authorities, where we know for certain it's less than 50% English.
The problem here is those local authorities are quite big, as you can see.
So when we get the more detailed data, whenever they release that, like by literal place, it's going to be a handful of more cities are just gone.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, don't look at the London boroughs.
Like 90% more English.
Well, shall we have a look at the London boroughs later?
Maybe we could later.
Anyway, and so you get things like this.
This just annoyed me.
This is just Albanians celebrating their national day on the streets of London.
It's like, London, not an English city.
No, it doesn't look like it, does it?
No, it's anything but.
Yeah.
That's the weirdness about all this, is we have pretty much every part of the world except England now.
Yeah.
In London.
Yeah.
I mean, look at this.
Why?
Beautiful dresses, don't get me wrong.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's lovely, but this should be in Albania, should it not?
Yes.
They're celebrating their national independence.
You would do this in Kosovo or Albania.
Yeah.
You literally have those places on your flag.
I saw someone there with the Greater Albania, including Kosovo.
In which case, well, it doesn't include London, does it?
I'm sorry, but you can't look at this as anything other than an attempt at colonisation.
There we are.
How is this not colonisation?
Oh, it is.
It's just what it is.
It's just...
You know, don't get me wrong.
I don't think English people should be moving to Spain and flying English flags all over the place.
Like, clogging up their major cities.
No.
No, of course not.
You're an arse.
Yeah, exactly.
Deport them, if you want, Spain.
You know?
Even as a tourist, I feel incredibly rude when I have to speak English to people.
Yes, but at least you can say, look, I'm visiting and I'm giving you money.
Yeah.
So, you know, at least there's that.
But if I'm occupying, you know, your housing market and everything else.
Yeah.
It's terrible.
And as Nigel Farage points out, we're actually pretty much the only country that accepts Albanian refugees.
Don't exist.
Yeah, there's no such thing as an Albanian refugee, just so you know.
There are illegal immigrants, millions of them, or no, hundreds of thousands of them.
Scroll down on this, just country by country.
So what we've got here is the acceptance rate.
So you've got Albanians applying to a bunch of countries, and then we have the Czech Republic, Liechtenstein, Croatia, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Luxembourg, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
On your bike!
0% success rate.
On your boat, should we say.
Well, you know, not for those landlocked ones, but it's just that almost nobody says yes.
Of those who do say yes, you've got Ireland, who have 3% acceptance rate, Belgium 3%, Italy 20%, presumably because they feel bad about the war, France 2%, and then us at 55% acceptance.
Why?
This is what I told you about earlier.
Corruption.
Like, this whole system, we don't accept them because they're legitimate refugees, but because we think it's easier.
Germany accepted zero.
Yeah.
Love my zeros.
Because they know.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, it's not difficult.
Yeah.
Anyway, the data has also revealed that Christians are, in fact, a minority in England and Wales now.
That's 1,300 years of history ended, said English Heritage.
Coming to an end.
Well, English Heritage is hornish.
Yeah.
Mentioned that it was Christianized in, like, 700.
Yeah, yeah.
Probably a bit earlier, but yeah.
But majority rule, 1,300 years.
Gone.
Yep.
Do you want to know what the Archbishop of York said?
Is this a good thing?
Not quite, actually.
He said it was not a great surprise that there's a declined number of Christians in the UK. I'm crapping my job.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, this is just before quietly killing himself, you know, like, just...
Your one job is to get people to be Christians to save their souls?
Yeah, and he's like, well, I can't do that.
I mean, the Archbishop of Canterbury is a bloody leftist.
You know, what am I supposed to do?
So, yeah, you know, just...
Not a great surprise, I don't do much work.
But then you've got the humanist's response.
Do you want to know what the humanist UK response is?
Totally in touch with reality.
This should be a wake-up call which prompts a fresh reconsideration of the role of religion in society.
What role of religion in society?
There isn't one.
Exactly.
That's why Christianity's dying.
The Queen is a representative of God and that's about it.
Yes.
Sorry, not the Queen.
She's dead.
The King.
Keep forgetting.
Yes.
So it's just mental.
It's just mental.
The country is just...
This is what Tony Blair has done to us.
Conservatives are allowed to continue happening to us.
There were a couple of things you wanted to add at the end, though, weren't there?
Yeah, I made a couple of graphs.
People might enjoy posting them at Tom Harwood, maybe.
Shall we go to the next one here, which is just mapped?
Here's England, because remember all the hoo-ha about is London an English city anymore?
Well, you can map it, can't you?
Yes.
Because the data's released per place, you can actually go and just click on it.
Look at those less than 25% English.
Yeah.
Doubled.
So this is almost in line with the predictions as well.
In fact, a couple of bars went red instead of green.
And there you have it.
There's nothing left, really.
That's what's left.
Only in 20 years.
And you hear people, like a Romanian or whatever, say, I visited London in 2003.
I'd love to go back.
And say, you ain't going back.
It's not there.
It's a different place.
There's so many Americans I bring to London and show them about.
And just the disappointment on them every time.
Oh yeah, I've had loads of American friends come over and be like, so where do the English live then?
Every time!
Every single time!
Because you show them the buildings, and you can sense it in their eyes.
They're like, you're looking at the Colosseum?
Where are the Romans?
Well, they're gone.
They're not here anymore.
They live Italians.
You want to go to Bath or Durham or somewhere else.
Yeah, it's not there.
There's literally no point.
If you want to visit England, going to London, you're wasting your money and being fleeced by foreigners pretending to be the capital of England, frankly.
That's that.
If we go to the last one here, we can see just one more note.
I know this was the same thing from earlier, but the worst authority, I don't know, you won't be able to, but And you can see in London there, just on that graph, there is the most...
I don't know what colour that is.
Teal?
Beige?
A woman.
And everywhere in the Newham, it's 14.8% English.
It is the most non-English place in all of the country.
And me and John have been there many a time, doing various jobs.
And I used to not understand the phrase, this place looks like Kabul.
I always thought, frankly, it was boomers, being a little bit too far.
But then you went to Kabul, then you went to Newham, and you're like, hmm.
Well, you think of these places as still the sandy dunes of 1800s or something.
No, they've got chicken shops and everything else, and you go to Newham, they've got chicken shops and everything else.
It's the same place!
International fried chicken conspiracy.
Oh yeah, I'm not kidding.
They actually think that's like high class, so that's why they all build them.
Are you suggesting they're not?
Well, maybe not.
Racist.
Depends on your setup.
But the thing is, like, the only thing that makes that place even look English is just the builds.
Like, the buildings the Cockneys used to live in once upon a time are still there, and they've changed the front of the shops, and that's it.
The place is not English in the slightest.
No, it's just not occupied by English people.
14%.
14% English.
John Cleese is right.
Go to the video comments.
I love those jokes.
That was good.
I thought she was going to be making a serious point there, so I was listening intently.
Well, you know, I look forward to her views on the future elections.
Yeah, yeah.
Do let us know.
Do you remember at the time?
Two times for Joe.
I did it myself.
People gave up their, like, dead grandparents' information.
They were like, here's where she lives, here's her name.
And there was a website in Michigan.
You could type it in.
Yeah.
And I did.
A lot of people from the Old West who live there.
Literally.
I'll have to dig out the video.
There was one.
He died in 1825 or something.
Doc Holliday voted Joe Biden.
Yeah, voted Joe Biden.
It was...
You know, I'm telling you, it's...
Go check up on your grandma's records if they have that availability in your state.
Go to the next one.
Tony D and Little Joan with another white pill.
A TikToker raised over $170,000 so his co-worker, an older woman, could retire and pay off her house.
His name is Devin Bonagura and he...
Did this video, went viral.
Walmart got a lot of backlash from it, apparently, and he got pressured to take down the video and return all the money.
But he's standing like a Chad, so Nola here can pay off her house and retire.
That's really nice.
Ridiculously went after him.
How lovely.
You probably noticed that the death of God didn't affect the right much.
That's because how the right believes protects what the right believes.
The right can justify believing in truth, and God is meant to embody truth.
But the left can't justify truth as a concept, and they never could, which means they never really believed in God.
So what kept them in check?
Satan.
Not because they feared him, but because he could be blamed for all the ills of the world.
So did Christianity invent Satan to contain the left?
I have no idea.
I'm not sure I've followed that.
Interesting theory.
Sophie says, Tim Cook, look, I know our own company is deeply dependent on slave labour in China, and we have suicide nets to prevent our Chinese workers from throwing themselves out the window, but we're the good guy, I swear.
Based Ape says, Tim Cook, diversity is our strength.
Translation, please let me keep my slave labour.
They can't unionise if they don't speak the same language.
Point.
Good perk.
Diversity is his strength.
ScrewtapeLazer says, gambling on losing the Apple app store is a big deal economically.
While Android is 70% of global market share, iOS owns the most valuable slice.
Young, wealthy Americans.
Yeah, they're 50% of the market in America.
No, 55-60%, I think.
I looked it up earlier.
This is potentially a paradigm shift battle for app developers.
Yes.
Tim says, he's the richest man on earth yet.
Feels very much like one of ours.
Much like Trump did back when he was at peak popularity.
What a time to be alive.
Yeah, but the thing is, I'm genuinely concerned about the great men not being able to clear out the organised minorities, man.
Like, you know, Elon's done a good job at Twitter, but what if all of the surrounding companies are just like, right, okay, well, we're going to organise and destroy you?
Bald Eagle says, this is Apple, this is the company that threw a fit and filed lawsuits in the European court to prevent them being forced to switch their charges to USB-C. Apple knows that nothing about them is special and they're slowly being eaten alive because of their overpriced products made with slave labor that are a copy and paste of the previous year.
When Elon launches his own phone, oh yeah, I forgot to mention he's going to threaten to launch his own phone, which...
That would be an Alexander thing.
Like, if he just owned all of the tech world by the end of it and then dies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Literally, who's it left to?
The strongest.
But apparently Alexander said that in his deathbed.
It's like, well, that's not very good, is it, Alexander?
You know?
What do you mean it's a great answer?
Well, he had a friend called Craterus, which is...
Something like Strongman or something like that.
And so it could be that he was saying to Kratos rather than to Kratos, basically.
And it was just misheard, but of course, who knows?
Anyway, Samsung was smart and just made phones.
Any operating system can put in them when they work.
Be like Samsung, make a product that is flexible and will be used by a large base of people.
Yeah, I don't own anything by Apple.
You shouldn't either.
We should stigmatize Apple, really.
SH Silver says, well, Elon is a great marketer.
You will be disappointed in the future.
Everything he does is for profit.
Yeah, but I'm fine with that.
You know, I have money.
Yeah, you know, being left-wing isn't profitable.
Yeah, and I would rather return to the sort of, you know, cavalier capitalists who are like, look, you want me to do this?
If you give me some money, give me $8 and I'll do it.
I'm like, great, I've got eight bucks.
Here you go, do it.
You know, just...
Anyway.
He says, you know, as he shows with his business relationship with China, with his transhumanism, interest, and terrible fatherhood, he rethinks our guy.
Well, you know, he's not perfect.
He's just the best we've got at the moment.
So I'm going to take it.
I don't think we're in a position to be picky about champions representing our cause in the public square.
Yeah, like, dude, he brought Twitter and destroyed the left on it.
He brought me back to Twitter, man!
Like...
I wouldn't be like, oh yeah, no, he sucks actually.
That Andrew Klavan thing, like the right wing ex-side where someone mentions, yeah, women exist.
Woo!
Like, the dude turned up and killed them.
You little musk is like, all the women are fire.
Yeah, no, he's as close as he needs to be.
Matt says...
More than anyone else.
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Cook should have been replaced soon after Steve Jobs' death.
He has not advanced Apple products since his takeover of Apple or released any new hardware products outside of small upgrades.
If Steve Jobs was still alive, we may have holograms at this point.
Yeah, that's a good point, actually.
Tim Cook, what's he done?
That's what I mean.
Total caretaker.
So every one of those guys who sets up one of those tech companies was a really cool creative, had some problems with management, but it didn't matter because they were always making amazingly good things that everyone wanted.
That's what made them big.
And then every single one of them, except Zuck, has been taken over by a managerial person who is entirely involved with that.
And then there are no creators whatsoever because they're all dead or just completely moved on to different companies.
Sail off into the rainbow.
Even the Amazon guy, what's his name?
Bezos.
He's sat down, not involved.
And then Zuck's just bad.
His job, by the looks of it.
The metaverse.
Little takeoff, guys.
Wuhan Wet Market says, Carl, I know you're loving the new Twitter, but it's still annoying that the anti-gaming gate grifters are still harassing you.
You'd think almost a decade later they'd finally stop caring.
These people exist by time.
It's fine, because actually I've embraced a new philosophy with Twitter, which is it's a privilege to talk to me.
End of story.
And if you say one thing that even slightly sounds insulting, I'm just going to block you.
Is that why I'm blocked?
But, ironically, I've decided that my Twitter is going to be a place of harmony, tranquility, and any negativity blocked.
Okay, sounding like Owen Jones a little bit.
No, Owen Jones blocks anyone for critiquing him, contradicting him.
Ah, right, right.
No, one insult blocked.
You will speak to me with respect, or you won't speak to me at all.
I'm enjoying it, frankly.
Am I going to have fun testing that?
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Blocked.
The thing is, I don't...
I'm at the point now where it's like, look, you know, I will engage happily, ideologically, with anyone, obviously, but one insult, just one.
No, don't need to hear it.
Too many people.
Too much nonsense.
We're going to purify.
We're going to be sensible about the way we use Twitter.
No, no, evil eye.
You're going to block Jess Phillips.
She's got me blocked.
Just.
She blocked me years ago.
Before I'd adopted the sensible, centrist position on Twitter.
Are your block still there?
Since you've come back.
Oh yeah, everyone who had me blocked previously still has me blocked.
Everything's the same?
Like it was as you left it?
Yeah.
You've gone back to your childhood room, the appearance of...
Yeah, it's really weird.
That's why I just deleted all my tweets.
I have no idea what I'd said.
And I just wanted...
I mean, it's been five years, bro!
Well, no, it's just like, I just wanted a clean start.
You know, it's just like, look, I don't know what I had said previously.
Let's just begin again.
Are your followers the same?
Like, I wonder if you've got your timeline back and go, why was I following them?
Well, yeah, like, I had 235,000.
I looked at my social blade, actually, to see what the state was.
And in 2017, I had 235,000.
And then I came back and I got 260,000.
That's nice.
I don't know, I mean the people you were following.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I had to unfollow loads of people because I just didn't know who they were.
And, like, I was following, like, 800, 900 people, and so I just went through it and just, like, unfollowed.
And so if I unfollowed you, it wasn't personal.
It was just, like, it's been a long time, and a lot of stuff I didn't remember why I was following it or anything like that.
So, yeah.
Are you following anything, like, weirdly leftists?
No, no, I do follow leftists to see what they're saying, right?
At the time, it must have been the serious stuff, because I was following loads of serious stuff.
That was the majority of the stuff.
Anyway, Callum says, the only Apple things I use are old iPods.
That's too bad, Callum, you're blocked.
Okay, Steve Shives.
I block Apple users on site.
No, it's literally just leftists.
Whenever a leftist insults me, it's like, come on.
I'll talk to a polite leftist, I'm not going to talk to a rude leftist.
And what I like about this is it makes them deal on my terms.
All right.
My terms, not your terms.
Well, you know, that is actually not the same as Owen Jones, but the strategy he's sort of employed.
Like, I saw anyone who wasn't blocked by him, they were endlessly having to be, like, super nice to him.
No, you don't have to be super nice to me.
You just don't insult me.
No, but it meant the right-wingers were kind of stuck on his terms, even though he goes way further than that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He critiques him as well.
Yeah.
Anyway, George says, Sure, and, you know, okay, brilliant.
Let's hope that doesn't come about.
But, again, he's the best he's got.
We've got...
Cynthia says, Not surprised, frankly.
God, that sounds terrible.
Yeah.
I just want to display these cool artifacts, bro.
It's like, no, de-platforming, they're black.
Oh, there's a black child.
Yeah, exactly.
Sorry, well...
Really?
I can't look at what Africans did.
No, that's colonialism.
Because they don't have a space program in the picture, so...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Edward says, Oh no, this lady has contracted Hamza Yusuf.
This woman, white.
This dress, white.
Being kind, white.
Being a homemaker, white.
Yeah, it's basically the Hamza Yusuf theory on race relations.
Funny thing is, she's a white woman in Europe.
In America, she gets to sit around and swat around privileged being, oh, I'm mixed race and something.
Nah, you're not.
You're a Spaniard.
America's in hospice care says, them, you white Europeans gave indigenous smallpox to commit genocide.
Ah, yes, because we knew what germ theory was.
We kind of did.
Kind of.
Well, they knew that a rotting corpse thrown over the wall of a city would cause disease.
That's not germ theory.
It's amazing how no one else seemed to do that.
No, loads of people did.
No, no, no.
I mean, like, as a widespread battle tactic.
Like, there's some great examples around that time, and then it doesn't...
Like, the Crusades, maybe, and then there's not really...
Well, no, no, no.
Lots of people have done that.
It's not just Genghis Khan that did this.
I'm thinking about the colonial era.
Like, I rarely read that in a siege strategy.
Maybe I'm just ignorant.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, right.
Yeah, but that era of gunpowder and whatnot.
That tactic seems to have just fallen by the wayside.
Well, the problem with deliberately fomenting plague is that you might catch it.
It's mustard gas.
You win some, you lose some.
It's actually worse than mustard gas.
At least you can get away from the mustard gas.
Yeah, so anyway, Europeans did pass smallpox onto the indigenous unknowingly.
Simultaneously, the indigenous passed syphilis onto the Europeans, who then unknowingly brought syphilis back to Europe, but you don't want to talk about that.
Unknowingly.
I think that's Hawaii, actually, where Syphilis comes from.
Really?
I think so.
Even though Honolulu.
Right, okay.
Honolulu's in Hawaii, idiot.
Edward says, don't you understand, Carl, this perpetuates the white saviour complex, despite the fact that this fellow in the picture is legitimately a saviour?
He's coming with medicine.
How dare you share the medicine with the blacks, says the progressive.
Bill Bald Eagle says, there's a reason for the aversion to natural medicine, Carl.
Big Pharma doesn't want people to know that there are naturally occurring treatments that are available for most ailments that don't require thousands of dollars of pills and drugs.
Actually, I didn't even consider that.
That's not really true.
No, it probably is.
No, there's some stuff that can help you with things.
The global paedophile elite that controls Big Pharma.
No, but it's like you can kill cancer.
Do you think I'm joking?
What do you think the Balengia thing is?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't say the paedophiles don't run the world, but there's this idea...
But they're not involved with Big Pharma.
No, no.
That's crazy.
No, no.
My point was that you can't solve all of the world's medical problems just with some grass.
No, obviously not.
I do stand by what I was saying about traditional medicines.
Sure, sure.
I'm just saying that there is also the far right position, away from the centiple sensor on this, where the people are like, yeah, we'll just drink out the Ganges and it will cure your COVID. And you're just looking at them like, have you seen that, water?
Good point.
Okay, fair enough.
Free Will says, Have you seen Equilibrium? - Yeah.
Years ago, I watched it once, but I can't remember.
It's the best things they're going to play.
Yeah, that's the only thing I remember.
I love how Keanu Reeves just plays like dead people.
They're just dead inside.
He's always got no emotions.
That's his shtick.
I actually quite like Keanu Reeves, but he's a terrible actor.
I don't know.
I like it.
It's a very specific niche he can do.
Yeah, exactly.
He can't do anything else.
Yeah, get him to try and play someone who is a human with emotions.
Yeah, it's not going to happen.
It sucks for him.
And again, I don't dislike Keanu Reeves.
I just remember watching The First Matrix and me and a mate of mine just constantly, you know, mocking Keanu Reeves afterwards.
Like, do you want to get to the show?
I'll be like, yeah, I'll go.
It's like a brilliant delivery.
Is that the best take you got?
Sure, I'll go.
Oh, shut up.
It's because he can only play the, like, human god character.
He's better than everyone else and knows it.
He can do something that doesn't require him to move his face or use his voice.
Yeah, that's why we play for Equilibrium, because no one had emotions.
Exactly.
So, you know, like...
Not acting, as we traditionally call it.
John Wick.
I haven't seen that.
Anyway.
Well, it's just he's a completely emotionless mercenary.
He's lost everything, and then they kill his dog.
Oh, wow.
And then he kills all of them.
Based.
That is good, actually.
I can watch that now.
Rue the Day says...
These so-called holy men going, Wound looked like a fanny, therefore tranny, is literally Luciferian as per biblical canon, which states that hermaphroditism and similar duality idols are expressly anti-god.
Now you know the kinds of hats these people wear.
Also, according to them, trans fanny equals wound, so based...
Yeah, that was rather transphobic of him, wasn't it?
Hey, that's an open flesh wound.
You must be trans.
I was apparently completely mixing up Christian Bale with Keanu and Iker Abram.
They just look the same goddamn people.
Christian Bale can actually act, though.
Well, he just plays Keanu Reeves in that movie.
That's my story.
Seriously, I mean, again, it's not that I in any way dislike Keanu Reeves.
And I, like, love loads of the films that he's in.
He's just not a good actor.
And I'm not a good actor either, just in case anyone's like, oh, well, can you do better?
No, I cannot do better.
Really, I loved your films.
Play the ancient squire.
Yeah, I know.
I would be a terrible actor.
I've got no talent.
Would you ever do that?
The Daily Wire invited you on to be the Englishman?
Maybe if I was an extra who didn't have to speak.
Really?
I'm a terrible...
I would never be a good actor.
I don't know how to act at all.
Henry says, the BBC are already running an article saying that Leicester has no clear majority ethnic group, and that's a good thing.
Can we get that up, John?
I was right about the census comments.
So I would actually like to see that.
Because of course they're saying, and that's a good thing.
Kevin says, the Albanians keep saying they're not criminals and drug dealers, but look at that long line of Audis, Porsches, and BMWs.
All new models.
That's a great point.
I didn't even realize that.
Yeah, I didn't even think.
You've got to have that Eastern European brain.
Yeah, exactly.
Anything rich is crime.
Yeah, I bet V's just sat there messaging me on Discord right now.
How did you miss it?
Yeah, exactly.
How did you miss it?
I didn't even think.
Well, I assume they had jobs.
That was your first mistake.
Yeah, I know.
What was I thinking?
Can we get that up, John?
Sorry.
Yeah, the link.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Apparently, if you scroll down, are they saying anything positive in that?
Leicester, one of the first ethnic minority cities.
Yeah, I feel privileged to be in Leicester where it's ethnic minority, yeah.
I can already, the tenure of an article you can sense as you're looking through it.
There we are.
There's some data.
Is there any more?
Leicester is a classic example of how to work together.
Oh, thanks.
Good news.
Most harmonious city in Europe.
Diversity is their strength.
Really?
Leicester?
Yeah.
Isn't that where the Leicester cricket fans?
Two weeks ago or whatever it was.
That's where Claudia Webb was discovered to be presiding over a slave factory.
One in eight people in Leicester East are slaves?
Yes.
Most harmonious city...
We should do a follow-up on the harmonious paradise of Leicester.
Yeah, that's tomorrow's segment.
Not even joking, we really should.
Yeah, yeah.
I just, I can't get over it.
I mean, I really do think, I look back and I've seen some Austro-Hungarian propaganda about how all the different languages makes them strong.
And it is...
Diversity is our strength of the double-headed eagle.
Yeah!
There's some bollocks, obviously, about the German supremacism, but occasionally they do try and play off this, like, oh yeah, all of us together, lads, because they're so coping with how unstable it all is, and we're doing the same.
There we go.
Anyway, yeah, the Albanians say they're not criminals, drug dealers, but look at the Porsches and BMWs.
Sorry, didn't realise we had so many doctors and scientists on six incomes in the UK. I just didn't even...
Like, that's a brilliant point.
I wish I'd spotted that.
Colin says, I went the other way.
I used to class myself as British, but over the last decade or so, I really identify more and more as English.
Well, this is what I've been saying to you, isn't it?
I'm not going to call myself British anymore.
I'm just an Englishman.
End of story.
Yeah, well, culturally, I think everyone on the right should be on board with that project.
