	Hello and welcome to the podcast The Lotus Eaters for the 22nd of December 2022.
	I'm I'm joined by Nick.
	Hello.
	How you doing, man?
	I'm doing well, how are you?
	Good to be back.
	Yeah.
	Back in the game.
	People have been asking for me.
	I get a lot of messages.
	But I'm back, everyone.
	I thought you were going to go into a rap then.
	Yeah.
	Like M&M or something.
	It was like a really bad Will Smith-esque rap.
	Basically, guys, Harry insulted me, so I took two months away, but I've come back.
	You went and were sad for a while.
	Yeah, well, people must be punished.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, we'll try to make sure everything's fine this time.
	So, let's talk about what we're going to be speaking of today, which is anti-feminist desires, Clarkson's walk of shame.
	Shame.
	I should have got a bell, actually.
	Yeah.
	That would have been useful.
	Oh, well.
	And also, goodbye, die, everyone hated you, which would be a nice little note to end on, I think.
	Make everyone happy.
	Otherwise, we shall begin with anti-feminist desires.
	So I think there is something that could be accurately called within at least a lot of women, which is an anti-feminist desire to not be working 50 hours a week.
	I guess that's a pretty reasonable thing.
	I think most women are not keen on.
	And most men aren't keen on either.
	Screw that.
	But whatever.
	And we're going to go through it because there are a lot of women on TikTok who have been embodying this in the opposite extreme, obviously, which is being stay-at-home girlfriends.
	I don't know why not stay-at-home wives, but a whole lot of conversation.
	Marriage is over.
	It's an easy thing.
	Stay-at-home girlfriend.
	But the thing is, it's making a lot of salt, because there are a lot of salty people who don't like that for some reason, and I thought we'd enjoy it.
	We'll start off just by mentioning, of course, a fantastic feminist immigration policy, which is the only thing feminists got right, which is we should only allow women.
	Anyway, that was my idea, so go and check that out.
	Is that you in a suit?
	I've never seen that before.
	Once upon a time.
	A blue moon.
	Anyway, what's your thoughts on the button thing?
	You know, I got told the last button you're not meant to wear because of Henry VIII, but why am I taking orders from him?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	It's something like that, isn't it?
	You're meant to have the jacket open when you sit down.
	I know that.
	There's a lot of different rules.
	Anyway, complete sidetrack.
	If you want to go see me in a suit, there you are.
	Looks good.
	We're going to go to the Vox.com article that tipped me off to this going on because I don't have TikTok, for one.
	So, not my domain.
	Never mind.
	You're not a Chinese spy.
	Is that what you're saying?
	Not yet.
	One day, I suppose.
	We can all dream.
	But this is a Vox article saying, the irresistible voyeurism of a day in my life videos.
	I'm sure you've seen a lot of this crap.
	I hadn't until you sent me the links.
	I just quickly looked at them on the train.
	You don't have them on your YouTube channel?
	And they're so good.
	No, no.
	But I now will, because you've shown me the light.
	Oh, right.
	Because it's not a bad idea.
	I mean, they're mentioning here, for example.
	It starts like this.
	A tattooed and mustachioed guy named Mike opens a guru energy drink and explains that today is mental awareness day at his job, so he gets a brunch with his friend Lizzie, which includes chicken and waffles and an electric blue cocktail with cotton candy in it.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	All BS modern Western jobs, which, you know, there's the very funny ones where you see, like, women who literally do no work and get paid, and you're like, how?
	Oh, you work at Twitter.
	Oh, that was how.
	But then there's the other stuff of just people showing, hey, his life as a schoolteacher, or some other crap.
	And to be frank, yeah, pretty interesting.
	But then there's some other stuff.
	She mentions in here, and I have seen all of them, or at least it feels like I have.
	The most prevalent genre, at least in my TikTok feed, comprises of what I call skincare salad girlies, or women in their 20s living in one of those big apartment buildings where everything is white and grey and appears to have never been contained a single speck of dust, who have double digit step skincare routines, makes her fluffy white bed every morning, and works...
	What's sometimes derogatory called an email job, or fully remote white-collar position where main duties seem to be attending Zoom meetings or slacking co-workers.
	And I've seen a fair few of these, don't know if you have, and very much like women existence videos, where it's just like, look at my pretty things, and then I've made this, and then look at food.
	Yeah, yeah, I can't wait for the videos.
	That's what I'm waiting for.
	Yeah, but they mention here there's something more than that.
	There's something more than the women who go to the Zoom calls and blah blah blah.
	Which is the stay-at-home girlfriends, which are far more interesting, I think.
	There are other types of women for this existence, that girl, or worse, clean girl.
	They're impossibly productive, chores are completed, smoothie bowls assembled, PowerPoints crafted, all to the beat of music.
	Just very quickly, I love that clean girl's an insult.
	There's a peep show where the youths are calling him clean shirt.
	He's like, that's a good thing, isn't it?
	What's wrong with being clean, guys?
	No, you should have your entire place look like a crap car.
	Vlogs, and particularly these sorts, have always tendency to make a lot of people very, very angry.
	And I always thought, why?
	Like, I find some of these girls kind of annoying.
	Their voices are annoying.
	But whatever.
	Don't make me angry, for sure.
	Which, yeah, is gross.
	When one of Kay's videos went viral on Twitter, she became the subject of a loud and lasting internet discourse about these sorts of aspirational day-in-my-life videos, and whether or not they were anti-feminist.
	I was like, right, yeah, we got to it.
	We got to the reason you hate these ones in particular.
	You're fine with all the rest of these types of videos, but someone not working 50 hours a week, instead staying home and living the dream.
	No, no, that's bad, because it's anti-feminist.
	It upholds harmful stereotypes of white womanhood.
	Only white womanhood.
	Don't know why I had to throw that in, but whatever.
	And yeah, it's because she works like four hours doing housework stuff, but then spend 12 hours doing whatever she wants, which, oh no.
	seems to be mainly making smoothies from the ones i've seen yeah it does seem to be the thing she enjoys the most and uh we'll have a look-see shall we before we get into the reasoning as to why this is uh anti-feminist and racist and bleh bleh bleh bleh we'll we'll check out what's our content like and uh we'll play the first video i suppose of a day in the life of a stay-at-home girlfriend at least this one but day of my life as a stay-at-home girlfriend
	I first did my skincare routine, then I did some ice rolling, and some journaling, and I made the bed...
	Then Luke and I got out and picked up some celery juice and then went to his favorite latte place.
	Then we came home and I made myself a matcha latte and checked some emails, requested the same texts.
	Then I went for a walk to my Pilates studio and made myself some breakfast.
	Then I did a lot of laundry folding and then I steamed my dress that I'm gonna wear for tonight.
	Took Luke to the gym.
	When I came home I cut up some veggies to snack on and then I heated up some soup for Luke.
	Then I got ready and put my shoes on, saw a butterfly, and then we stopped at this cute wine store, got a bouquet of flowers, then went to my dad's to celebrate his birthday.
	My favourite bit.
	Did I put my shoes on?
	Are you a child?
	Have you had a lobotomy?
	The brainless tone is so amazing.
	Yeah, I mean, number one, yes, the voice is annoying.
	That's just true, and weird, and the sentence structure is strange, but whatever.
	The lack of consciousness is also seemingly kind of annoying, but you know, she's having fun.
	She's having fun.
	What we don't see is that they're all on OnlyFans and they're in Andrew Tate's webcam studio.
	We don't see that part.
	Yeah, I don't think that's taking place.
	Can I give my take on the whole thing, Callum, just briefly?
	Sure.
	What's happened is, do you remember Kevin Samuels talking about fit, feminine and friendly?
	And now Fresh and Fit have said that same thing.
	You know, all these kind of red pill...
	YouTube channels.
	These girls, they may not have seen them directly, but they've absorbed through osmosis this thing in the culture.
	And this is the new high-status thing.
	You know, there was a certain point when everyone on Instagram had to be, women had to be ultra-strong suddenly.
	It was strong as a new skinny.
	Yeah, yeah.
	They had to be a girl boss, but they also had to work out six times a week suddenly, building muscle mass.
	It was like, oh yeah, we're strong as well.
	But they made smoothies and stuff.
	But for themselves, the new high status thing, I've figured out from watching these videos, is just be a submissive smoothie-making wife.
	And they know that we'll get the best men because they've absorbed that red pill content.
	What do you think of that theory?
	Well, I mean, there's going to be some subset of people who are taking a biosmosis or something.
	But frankly, looking at this sort of thing, it just looks like traditionalism.
	And traditionalism exists in every culture of all time because it's rooted in biology.
	and therefore it's natural.
	It's not unexpected.
	It's not the thing that all women want to do, obviously.
	But there is a lot of women who would really love to have that as an option and take it.
	I think the highest status women have figured out this is the way to get the best men by this is the new thing.
	They've watched all this content.
	I've heard about it.
	And the other thing is, in economic downturns and with the collapse of the West, this kind of thing is going to increase because you need someone to provide for you, right?
	But that's the thing.
	You're sort of assuming that it's kind of inauthentic, though.
	No, I'm not saying it's inauthentic.
	I'm just saying they've been sort of figured out there's an incentive for it.
	Like, there's a mind behind that, or even if it's just osmosis, like it comes about.
	But checking out her other content, like, she seems perfectly normal and content with her life.
	In fact, we'll go forward just to...
	Well, I'm not criticizing.
	I'm saying it's smart.
	I'm saying it's smart.
	She's obviously, intellectually, she's obviously dumb as a rock, but she's shrewd to have done it.
	Yeah, I don't think she does the voting.
	Yeah.
	But there's some, like, you know, various reactions to this.
	This one's probably the funniest.
	It's some woman who's, like, you know, eating her breakfast before she has to go to work.
	She says that, because I'm 26 and still at work, and then she's watching this girl just, like, you know, have fun, basically.
	And you can feel the envy.
	Like, you don't need the volume.
	And you can see she's a bit like, God damn it.
	Yes, and she doesn't even talk.
	She just watches it annoyed.
	Which, you know, I can't see why I can understand why you're annoyed.
	But then there's more from the lady herself, which is that, you know, there's one I picked out that went viral of her at a skiing holiday with her boyfriend.
	I love this.
	And we're not going to play it again, but it's just like, you know, she's largely pointless, but, you know, that's her life.
	She likes it.
	As in, like, the weird women stuff that I don't understand, but she likes that.
	Is this one where it's everything I did for Luke, or is that the next one?
	Ah, that's the next one.
	She's like, everything I did for my boyfriend is so good.
	Okay, they're all great.
	This one, she's just like, you know, there's some other stuff in there where she's like making dinner and I don't know what it is.
	I think this is the one where she wallpapers her face.
	She does a weird, you know those rollers you use for wallpaper?
	She pastes it across her head.
	But whatever, you know, she's obviously content.
	Oh, she's living the dream.
	She's living the dream, there's no doubt.
	Yeah, I mean, I'm not a fan of her makeup routine, but we'll go to the next one here, which is what you were talking about.
	That's your main critique, her makeup routine.
	Should have used a different primer.
	Like, what's your problem with the makeup routine?
	Well, I don't got a problem with anything else.
	I see.
	I don't think the makeup was very good.
	Oh, I see.
	Anyway, I didn't think I'd expect to hear Calum's makeup critique.
	Well, anyway, but the last one here is her that went viral of her showing what she does for her boyfriend.
	Like, that's, you know, the things I do on an average day in my life.
	And this one's rather funny.
	I'm not going to play it all because, again, I can't stand the voice.
	But we'll start off with a bit of it, which you can obviously see why it pissed off the feminists.
	Let's play that.
	This is everything I did for my boyfriend today as a stay at home girlfriend.
	The first thing I always do is make him a coffee.
	He loves these lattes with some cinnamon on top.
	And then I take it down to his office for him.
	Then he handed me his water bottle to fill up.
	And I realized I had to change the water filter, which I needed some help with.
	And then I continued to fill up his water with ice cubes.
	I tidied up our room.
	I love that.
	Then he handed me his water.
	I just took it without saying anything.
	Then later we had sex, but he didn't let me look at him in the face.
	That's the thing.
	I don't think there's anything wrong going on here.
	He's just like, he filled my bottle and she's like, oh yeah, whatever, I love you.
	No, this is great.
	This is a great supportive role women should be doing.
	It's still funny the way she's doing it.
	It's just her voice, man.
	It's her voice, and it's so perfect.
	They're in Whistler, and they're skiing, and everything's lattes and smoothies.
	But there's nothing wrong with making your boyfriend or husband a smoothie or a milk, whatever it is.
	I'm not going to say that's what you should be doing, but it's certainly a good thing to do.
	It's also hilarious how you had to come and fix the machine.
	We don't really see, throughout these, because I've watched a lot of these now because you've been sending me them, it's Luke, but we never really see Luke because Luke's working 100 hours a week to support this lifestyle.
	Luke had a stroke today because he worked too hard, but at least I'm going snowboarding later.
	That is one of the big problems with these ones that have gone viral, which is that overwhelmingly it is rich women.
	And that's annoying because it obviously makes the case it's like you can't achieve this or shouldn't achieve this because you've got to be both working to pay the bills and blah blah blah.
	It's like, yeah, but if we're going to, like, advance society in one way, I mean, surely one is, I don't know how to formulate this, but hopefully, like, an option on the table should be that women shouldn't have to work if they don't want to.
	Like, if you want that as an ideal, I think that's fair in a society.
	I mean, again, as an option, not as something quiet.
	No, no, that used to be normal, didn't it?
	Exactly.
	The guy had a normal job, and he had a house that he owned, and his wife could afford to stay at home, and that was what we called normal.
	Now that's gone, and that's a terrible thing.
	But I don't know what woman wouldn't want that as an option, is my point.
	Right, yeah.
	They might not take it, but...
	Yeah, yeah, it's a great option.
	And what's funny is now, the sad thing is now it's come back as ultra-high-end, high-income, luxury, sort of TikTok niche lifestyle.
	She goes on to make the dishes, do the bed, laundry, tea, etc., blah, blah, blah.
	But either way, like, she's living the dream.
	There's one where, for a second, I thought she said, then I read to Luke.
	I was thinking, she just reads him, like, productivity books to save him time.
	Why you should get up at 5am?
	Yeah, next chapter.
	But the thing is, like, you know, any writers watching that is just like, yeah, okay, normal.
	But then, no, no, leftists can't stand that, can they?
	We'll go to the articles that are very upset, particularly with her.
	She's the main feature for most of this, which is why I'm using her videos, but there's a hell of a lot more.
	See this one.
	TikTok's stay-at-home girlfriends go viral, displaying lives of luxury.
	They face mockery and are told they're anti-feminist.
	They disagree.
	Okay.
	Much of the criticism levied at the stay-at-home girlfriends is labelled that the lifestyle is anti-feminist.
	It follows what some argue is a resurgence of regressive values.
	I mean, it's totally anti-feminist, and that's why it's great.
	That's why it's awesome.
	I also love its regressive values, what?
	It's not that regressive, because it's the ultra-modern version with modern smoothies.
	You wouldn't have that, would you?
	And the part you're missing is, of course, the spiritual part.
	There's no God involved.
	There's no marriage.
	Your God is sort of lattes and smoothies.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, I mean, there's a video in this article somewhere.
	I don't know if you'll find it, John.
	Just scroll them.
	But there's some guy who's like a divorce lawyer who's criticizing it, and he's like, yeah, that dude.
	And one of his points is quite funny because he's like, really?
	You're a stay-at-home girlfriend?
	What happens if you have no skills because you've just been a stay-at-home girlfriend and you leave each other?
	Remember, you don't even have a marriage.
	I was like, yeah.
	It's almost like they should have a marriage they could do.
	This guy's worrying about his job, isn't he?
	Guys, we need divorces still.
	LAUGHTER There's that too.
	But it's just like, you know, almost as if there was an ancient solution to that, which was marriage and it was something you couldn't get out of, which gave the woman security.
	Wasn't there a phrase, till death do us part or something?
	Yeah, but none of that seemed to go through this dude's head, but whatever.
	He's just saying his piece.
	This guy's got more makeup on than that girl, but anyway, carry on.
	That's also true.
	Anyway, they continue.
	Regressive values, such as, you know, if your dude is making 150k or whatever the hell he's earning to pay for that lifestyle...
	What the hell am I at work?
	Like, if I'm a woman, I'm like, yeah, no.
	Right, I thought you meant you.
	I was like, because you don't earn that much colour.
	You need to be this guy.
	But if you're the woman, they're like, whatever.
	Anyway, regressive values and the rejection of feminism amongst young women.
	Again, this is something they notice they're being wounded in the field.
	Similar to the hashtag trad wife movement, which idealised the concept of a 1950s housewife, and also received fierce bash-lack.
	Bash-lack.
	Backlash.
	Backlash.
	If I can speak for once.
	But the thing is, yeah, whatever, wine some more, loser.
	Because they're clearly just upset that their ideology is failing the so-called oppressed class of women.
	That's obviously the lens through which the feminist movement sees itself in the same way the communists see it through the working class.
	Stay-at-home girlfriends don't believe they're rejecting feminism, but rethinking it.
	They're rethinking it, and they're thinking, it's rubbish.
	We're not going to do it.
	Bad.
	Don't do that.
	I mean, I'm not trying to be mean, but frankly, I do wonder whether or not these women really understand.
	It's like, no, yeah, you are kind of destroying feminism.
	Well, you've just got to say these days, no, I'm actually a feminist, guys.
	You know, people aren't only fans.
	They're feminist.
	You know, you show yourself in your underwear on Instagram.
	You just say everything's feminist that you want to do anyway.
	Emily Rattage, that model, you know, you're in a video with naked guy.
	Yeah, that's feminist.
	You just say it's feminist whatever you do.
	Hey, what about my feminist immigration policy?
	That's feminist.
	Trust me.
	Anyway, Kay told the insider that the stay-at-home girlfriend lifestyle has not been limiting or financially debilitating for her.
	And this is the thing that most people don't seem to realise, but is obvious for someone like you and me, I imagine, which is that that's also a job.
	Oh, yeah.
	She's viral on TikTok.
	You don't think she's making money?
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, I thought you were going to say, like, homemaking, because keeping a good home and raising children, that's a job.
	Oh, yeah, that too.
	As Bill Burr said, the hardest job in the world.
	Being a mother.
	But also, yeah, she actually does have a job.
	It's social media.
	Yeah.
	She goes on to mention the fact, you know, she's a content creator and also flexibility around her boyfriend.
	So it's all perfect for her.
	Like, living the dream doubly there.
	But also the fact that, you know, it's...
	It's a niche.
	I've mentioned before, there's a wonderful YouTube channel whose name I've forgotten.
	It's this really cute Japanese couple where they've got kids and stuff, and all she does for her YouTube channel is just shows off all the little lunches she makes him.
	And it's the most ridiculous, like, aesthetic nonsense lunches.
	Japanese are so good at that.
	Japanese food is all aesthetic nonsense.
	Well, it's brilliant.
	Well, that's the point.
	It's great.
	It's a lot of work for, like, lunch.
	But either way, they do it, and it's great, and the content is fantastic, and I've watched so many of her videos just because it's good stuff.
	And also, wholesome.
	What do you want?
	And she goes on saying here, I feel like I have power as a female because I'm choosing what to do, she said.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	That's the anti-feminist bit, which is you made the wrong choice, according to the feminists.
	It's not that they believe that the choice shouldn't exist.
	They always say that, oh yeah, I believe the choice should exist.
	But as soon as you take the choice they don't like, they're getting mad for some reason.
	As J.K. Rowling says, seethe and cope.
	Yeah, seethe and cope indeed.
	She also said she thinks the lifestyle represents a societal movement away from idealizing of girlbossing.
	Oof.
	It does, because that was a stupid idea.
	Yeah, it's like, that was crap.
	Like, why would we do that?
	I mean, why did it die?
	Let's go to the next image for just an artist's rendition of why that might have bad vibes.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	Remember that.
	That was cancer.
	Anyway, back to the article.
	As Insider previously reported, the term girlboss was popularised in 2014.
	Really?
	Was it...
	Was it popular ever?
	Referring to a self-made woman, the term became mirrored in controversy in 2020 due to suggestions that it referred mainly to white women.
	I... I don't know about you.
	That wasn't the thing that made it rubbish for me, in my mind.
	It was the fact that it was undesirable.
	Yeah, it was that women had to suddenly work eight hours a week and were miserable.
	And that was a good thing.
	It was racist, apparently.
	Worse for some of them.
	I do know some women it works for, but you know.
	I don't know, but it's just the feminist company that are like, you know, that's not the problem.
	The problem is it's white.
	That's the problem with everything, isn't it, Colin?
	I'm sick of these whites.
	Ray also said she wants to promote the stay-at-home girlfriend lifestyle to normalise the idea of not having a traditional job and still maintaining autonomy.
	While she acknowledged that it is not always financially viable for a woman to stay at home while her partner earns the bulk of the household income, because of the West, she still wants to promote the idea that there are options in life.
	I think people think I'm very regressive, and I'm pushing feminism back with my choices, she said.
	But I disagree with that premise.
	It's become so normalised for women to work like 40 hours a week and have two side hustles and look after the kids and her husband, so I'm trying to just show them that they don't have to be everything and they don't have to be everywhere, and that's okay.
	Is that the same girl Kendall Kay?
	Because I was calling her dumb before, but that's actually very smart.
	That's a different lady here.
	But either one.
	Still, good point.
	Both of them seem to not be unaware of the dynamics.
	It's just that the voices are quite upsetting.
	Anyway, if you are going to have a choice in society, though, it's just like, yeah, that seems fine.
	But, yeah, having that option is what makes the ideological NPCs so upset.
	Because there's another article in here from Insider in which they decided to try and rant that it was anti-feminist.
	That didn't work.
	So now they're just ranting that it's racist.
	Yes.
	And you might have noticed, they also deleted all the black people doing this.
	In the previous article, they had them.
	And in this article, they're just like, yeah, they don't exist.
	There's no black women who are also being stay-at-home.
	It's only a white person thing.
	White women of colour are missing from the stay-at-home girlfriend trend.
	And then they go on to say it's an income thing, and they're kind of accidentally racist and suggesting that black people all have low incomes.
	I'm like, what about Kanye before he said all that stuff?
	It was doing great.
	They're typically shown as somebody who's upper middle class or upper class.
	It's very heterosexual, it's very heteronormative, and very white, says Lillian, a 25-year-old assistant at UCLA Law.
	Suck a lemon.
	Lillian.
	White women romanticize the idea of opting out of labor that is otherwise delegated to lower income people of color.
	What?
	It's very much a who-will-clean-your-toilet-Donald-Trump moment.
	It's just like, don't you know that all the people who...
	All the browns are poor, don't you know that?
	That's what I'm saying, yeah.
	Their assumption is racist, yeah.
	Yeah, completely.
	If a black woman were to do the same thing, Lillian says, they would be framed as lazy or welfare queens.
	framed as lazy.
	Welfare queens?
	Right, there's no welfare here.
	You're not living that lifestyle on welfare.
	The only queen she is is her man's queen.
	And she's living off his welfare, I suppose.
	But it's got nothing to do with being a welfare queen.
	That makes no sense.
	They also have Hajar Yishada.
	I'm just going to call her Hajar from now on because screw that.
	An assistant professor of sociology at the University of Southern California.
	All academics.
	So there's a reason why we probably don't see women of colour taking part in this trend is because within the performative space of TikTok, their actions may not be read the same way as other women's.
	As white women.
	It's like, no.
	We do see them taking part in this.
	And also...
	The reason we've deleted from this article is so I can make this point I wanted to make anyway.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if you can go back, John.
	Just scroll right to the top real quick.
	Just to make the point.
	So back to the other article and then scroll right to the top.
	Because they have black women in the thumbnail doing the same thing.
	There you are.
	On the right there.
	No, but we deleted it from the new article, because why not?
	Anyway, they say: "Research shows that traditional notions of femininity and white feminism are rooted in white supremacy, and so these performances are some think where if black women were to do the same thing they would be phrased as lazy and welfare queens.
	Wright thinks that the trend might be a byproduct of the pandemic as well.
	We saw a lot of people staying home, and then they're brought into question: why are we working all the goddamn time?" Very good question!
	It's just not a bad point.
	Yazida then goes on to say, there was more growth during the pandemic, this is where highly educated white women who had high paying careers were faced with sort of constraints of being stuck at home, but then also being at home where the expectations were that they were going to do their jobs and childcare had the choice of opting out, whereas black women didn't somehow, in this person's mind.
	No one else did that.
	Historians and sociologists have found that the romanticization of the ability to opt out of labor amongst white women has been around for centuries.
	During the time of chattel slavery, enslaved black women were forced to work alongside their male counterparts.
	I'm getting off Mrs.
	Bones' wild ride.
	you know the clown car where she's taking this conversation of this is all because of slavery that these women are doing stay at home tiktoks they're dabbing on black women and that's a form of oppression i that's a direct link from slavery to luke handing her the bottle of water before they go on their snowboarding trip Yeah, I'm not going any further with that crap, because that's a waste of time.
	Go to hell, woman.
	Anyway, we'll end it off just by pointing out, yeah, there are a lot of black ladies doing the same thing, because guess what?
	They're still women.
	It's a desire amongst a lot of women.
	But there you have it.
	And this was a good one as well.
	She had a nice, fun attitude.
	She was, like, thanking the nail person.
	I thought it was a good...
	Yeah, it was a very polite lady.
	And then the next one here is just like another one.
	There you are.
	Insider.
	In case you forgot what black women are.
	I suppose.
	We'll let this off.
	I want to talk about Don't Worry Darling.
	You heard of Don't Worry Darling?
	No, no.
	It's a chick flick I watched recently.
	You've changed, Callum.
	You're commenting on makeup.
	You're watching chick flicks.
	How long have I been away?
	I'm just trying to get back to Western life.
	So anyway, the thing in here, just to summarize the story.
	So the story is that modern life sucks.
	You've got this guy and this girl.
	He can't get enough cash to pay for the place.
	They still live in a crappy apartment.
	She's working 30-hour shifts in surgery to pay for stuff, so their life is a mess because, of course, there's no time for just having a date.
	The apartment's terrible.
	Basic amenities don't even work.
	So the dude, what do you think he does?
	He decides to plug her into the Matrix...
	because he's like i can't provide for her so he signs up to this thing where like she's stuck in the matrix and the thing is like the film is made by women for women and the matrix for them was 1950s america housewife stuff like this is them as all of the men in the matrix go to work and all the women are at home and they'll they'll be there for a while just having fun and then cooking dinner and then when the guys get home they'll they'll have amazing sex and So he plugs her into an ideal 50s life?
	Yes.
	While he's at work?
	Yeah, the bad thing in the movie is that he does it without her consent, which is pretty bad.
	And the other funny thing is that, like, this woman on the right here, she knows that she's in the Matrix, she just doesn't care, because she's like, no, this life isn't...
	Oh, she's like, Cypher, I can taste the steak, it tastes juicy.
	Yeah, but also the thing she wants is not just to taste the steak.
	Like, life isn't unbearable, it's livable, it's modern life represented.
	Yeah, she's not in the pod, she's not the battery, like, in the real world.
	No.
	What she's missing is the feminine lifestyle of stay-at-home girlfriend stuff.
	Right.
	That's the thing that's displayed as, like, the ideal that's missing from the modern life.
	So hang on, how does this series condemn this and tell us we're all bad, or does it not?
	It tries, it just fails.
	It's accidentally based.
	Yeah, they try and phrase it as bad, because like, oh, well, he did it to this girl without her consent, and it's like...
	Oh, so then, like, patriarchs, like, enslaving them against their will, but then they're loving it.
	Yeah, the only thing that's contested is the consent thing, about the aspect of, well, isn't perfect life having this beautiful house and just, like, basically playing all day, doing whatever you want, and then wearing pretty dresses and getting great food?
	So in a way, I need to watch this, but in a way, even those TikTok videos, those TikTok videos then are the ultimate life because they get the perfect 50s life, but they have consented to it.
	Yeah, I just thought it was really funny.
	It was like, at the same time about this movie comes out, this trend ticks up and it's like, huh, that's funny.
	Anyway, but that's that.
	That's the anti-feminist desires, which even in chick flicks seem to be coming about.
	Go to Clarkson's Walk of Shame.
	All right.
	Pause there to sniff.
	Yeah, let's get to it.
	This is a big one.
	Clarkson's Walk of Shame.
	So you've probably been following this whole Jeremy Clarkson thing if you live in the UK or the world.
	Basically, Jeremy Clarkson, if you somehow missed him, is a popular TV presenter in England.
	And he probably went global with Top Gear, didn't he, when it came on?
	And then the Grand Tour on Amazon.
	It got very big and it was the biggest show in the world or something.
	But now he's written a Bad and Naughty column.
	And let's just see how it went.
	See, I haven't read the column.
	I've completely ignored it on purpose.
	Oh, really?
	So I wanted to be shocked.
	Oh, really?
	Well, I actually read the whole thing.
	It was quite good.
	That's not a very popular view at the moment.
	Can we go to the actual original column, John?
	That's the go down a bit.
	That's the...
	Here we go.
	This is the main bit from it.
	So he was talking about how much he hates Meghan.
	This is the big naughty.
	Yeah, he said, Meghan...
	Talking about Meghan Markle, of course.
	Meghan, though, is a different story.
	I hate her.
	Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West.
	Rose West, a famous serial killer, if you've missed that somehow.
	I hate her on a cellular level.
	At night, I'm unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowd chants shame and throw lumps of excrement at her.
	Everyone who's my age thinks the same way.
	So, if you've seen Game of Thrones, that's an obvious reference.
	What were you going to say, Cal?
	That's nothing!
	Oh, you're surprised!
	That's what all the fuss is about!
	Oh yeah, Calum, that's all it was.
	You're surprised at that.
	Do you remember when he talked about that everyone on strike should be shot?
	Do you remember that?
	Oh yeah, he said loads of things.
	He punched a bloke at the BBC. He's a total legend.
	But yeah, so that was what got everyone mad.
	Of course, I read it and immediately went, yeah, Game of Thrones reference, a bit clumsy maybe, a bit crude, perhaps wouldn't do it myself.
	But this apparently is now terrible to our culture.
	This is about as bad as it gets.
	And just on that point, everyone who's my age thinks the same way.
	That was merely accurate.
	So there's an article from The Telegraph where it said Megan is the second most unpopular royal.
	We can probably guess who the first one is, the sweaty man.
	So Beckham's the second most unpopular royal with a score of minus 39, but more than 8 in 10 aged 65 and over say they have a negative opinion of her, including 7 in 10 who have a very negative opinion.
	And so Clarkson's 62, so he's just a little ahead of his time, but if he was 65, he'd be absolutely completely within his range of people who hate her.
	So when he says everyone my age hates her, he is merely quoting stats.
	So Clarkson got in big, big trouble with this.
	Let's just look at his apology.
	He inevitably retracted the article.
	He said the son has to take it down.
	And he said, oh dear, I'd rather put my foot in it In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones, and this has gone down badly with a great many people.
	I'm horrified and have caused so much, too, have caused so much hurt, and I shall be more careful in future.
	And do you know what, Callum?
	After that, it was fine.
	No one cared.
	They took down the article, he apologised, and there was Christian forgiveness, and the world moved on, and nothing happened.
	Obviously, that's not what happened.
	There was a massive bloodlust to cancel him in the insatiable, secularized, doomed West.
	I mean, technically he didn't apologize there, but...
	He sort of did.
	Oh, you're right.
	He did if, didn't he?
	He never said sorry.
	No, it was a slightly based apology.
	He should have just said, you scumbags have no right to morally judge me.
	Get effed.
	But he didn't quite go that far.
	He should just, you know, that gif of, oh no, anyway.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But anyway, so even before the apology, the pylon started very early.
	Carol Drinkwater, who's some sort of Sunday Times bestselling writer, apparently, with a farm wars between her and Clarkson, she immediately said, Clarkson should be fired.
	This is misogyny, blatant.
	No one has the right to write such hate material.
	Take away his platforms.
	Take them away, Callum.
	It's hate material.
	I mean, you're not even wrong, though.
	This is Burger King saying McDonald's should be shut down.
	Yeah.
	John Nicholson from the SNP. They're a good party, aren't they?
	Following grotesque comments made about the First Minister in the districts of Sussex, I do not believe Jeremy Clarkson should be allowed back on our screens.
	I've written to the chief executive of ITV. For what?
	Must have been a slow day in politics.
	And he's written his little letter there.
	There it is.
	Look at him with his open letter.
	He made a joke!
	Kill him!
	Must be destroyed.
	No jokes in Scotland, please.
	Someone in Scotland might see it.
	It might get across the board.
	I knew there was a whole lot of S about this, but I didn't realise it was so nothing.
	Oh, yeah.
	I honestly can't get over.
	Okay, we're writing parliamentary letters because a man made a joke.
	No, you and me think that's just a funny article, which we don't think twice about.
	But these people are not you and me, Callum.
	So Caroline Noakes gets involved, a Conservative MP. I checked three times if she was actually a Conservative MP. I was like, no, no, she's Labour.
	I had to keep checking it.
	Conservative MP, useless Conservative Party, I welcome Jeremy Clarkson's acknowledgement that he has caused hurt, hashtag not an apology, but an editorial process allowed his column to be printed unchallenged.
	So she writes a big letter, gets about 64 MPs and then it went up to 65 later to sign it.
	Really?
	They all had nothing better to do that day.
	I think like 40 MPs wrote about the grooming gangs together, but 60 MPs can get together to be like, I want to criminalise a joke.
	Yeah, luckily we've cured the cost of living, grooming gangs, strikes and immigration, and it's all about clerks and that.
	It's been wonderful, actually, coming back.
	Everything's fixed.
	Everything's fixed.
	And the letter said things like, we are horrified at the recent article by Jeremy Corbyn.
	Horrified.
	It later says, we now demand...
	Do you sit at night grinding your teeth on a cellular level?
	On a cellular level.
	We demand further action is taken against Mr.
	Clarkson and an unreserved apology is issued to Miss Markle immediately.
	So there's blood in the water.
	The apology or sort of half apology wasn't enough.
	They want further action and he's got to kneel before Miss Markle and praise George Floyd for some reason.
	And Karen Oakes went further.
	She did a little video and can we have a look at it?
	It's quite funny.
	God.
	We, and I say we, I wrote with a group of cross-party MPs from all parties represented in Parliament to the editor of The Sun, remonstrating with her at the language used by Clarkson at the fact that it had gone through processes in The Sun, editorial processes, that still saw it published, when it was clearly extremely misogynistic.
	The comments that he made advocating that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, be paraded through every town in the land naked, Which is horrific.
	Positively medieval.
	And to be quite frank, I would have thought the sun could have done better than that.
	The key line.
	Positively medieval.
	Of course it was medieval.
	It was Game of Thrones.
	He's satirising.
	It's in olden times.
	It's in olden times.
	They're stabbing each other and cutting bits off.
	Wait till she finds out about the dragons.
	I mean, it's like...
	Even on that level, she's extremely misogynistic because she's naked in the thing.
	It's like...
	Well, I'm pretty sure they would do that with men in the medieval times as well.
	Yeah, well, people say everything about Clarkson.
	He says things about people.
	Everyone says everything about everyone.
	There's nothing misogynistic about it, but we know that.
	But I love that it's possibly medieval.
	Yes, it's a satire.
	I mean, how dumb are you?
	I mean, also, within the series, she's not treated well.
	The people who do it get punished horribly, and there's some of the most hated characters in the series, the Faith Militant, run by the High Sparrow, who's sort of a...
	He's a bit woke.
	He almost reminds me, yeah, it's religious criticism, but it reminds you of a woke person.
	But...
	Of course it's medieval.
	I mean, how dumb?
	They're pretending to take it seriously, like they did with Jimmy Carr's joke, when he made that joke about travellers, and they said, oh, joke in inverted commas.
	And it's like, he's on a comedy stage, he's a famous professional comedian.
	I thought he ran a death camp.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I thought that was his side gig.
	Positively medieval.
	It's called parody, Noakes.
	You dumb, useless politician.
	But also, again, it's so over nothing.
	I think this should happen to her.
	Moving on.
	I know.
	It's not like he's standing there with a sledgehammer, being like, it's sledgehammer time.
	I know.
	Look, let's be very clear.
	When those people who message women on Twitter and stuff and they say, oh, you should be raped and killed, those people are scum.
	That's not what this is.
	This is satirical.
	The thing people have missed out is Clarkson's also lampooning himself because he's got this ridiculous, exaggerated hatred.
	I hate Meghan more than Rose West.
	He obviously doesn't really.
	He doesn't literally want to see Meghan paraded through the street.
	I don't think he actually sits there grinding his teeth at night.
	No.
	So it's called satire.
	It's called exaggeration.
	It's called hyperbole for comic effect.
	Caroline, you dense waste of space.
	Now, dumb celebrities got involved as well.
	Let's have a look.
	Carol Vorderman here says, "The Clarkson Effect I've received a lot of abuse of, but it's like watching the last death throes of a dinosaur age.
	Sad souls who are angry at new thought, at equality, at kindness.
	But this chapter has brought a calm, normally silent people together.
	We fight on, love heart.
	And while talking about kindness, she's quoting a letter from someone campaigning to get a man fired.
	New definition of kindness just dropped.
	I mean, what is kind about that?
	I also love the way we know Carol Borderman...
	Also, what do you mean calm, normally silent people?
	Absolute nonsense.
	You're the loudest and most annoying people on the planet.
	Exactly.
	You know, Kara Vorderman, pretty hot in about 2003.
	She's always trying to look young.
	I think this is her trying to be young.
	Why is that such a joke?
	She's talking about...
	The reason I mention that is she's talking about the dinosaur age.
	She's like, oh, these people are out of touch, whereas I'm just young and in the club drinking Prosecco or something.
	I don't know.
	But I mean, just on the side note, everyone always talks about Kara Vorderman being hot once upon a time.
	You're too young.
	No, but like Jimmy Carr, you know the 8 out of 10 Catster's Countdown?
	Like, every episode they mention it as well.
	I don't know why it's a running meme at this point.
	For people of my age, it's a kind of famous thing.
	So, Dom Jolly got involved as well.
	He's a great guy, isn't he?
	Never awful to anyone on Twitter.
	Never post pictures of Calvin Robinson saying how awful he is or anything like that.
	He says, literally gobsmacked, well, you know, you're metaphorically gobsmacked, at the utterly vile and disgusting comments written about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson and The Sun.
	What another piece of trash he is.
	What is it with these type of men that triggers them so?
	So Dom Jolly weighing in with his moral high ground.
	John Bishop, comedian, came in.
	WTF is this.
	Sorry, comedian doesn't understand joke.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I don't care who you are or who you work for.
	You simply cannot, one word in this context, John, write things like that.
	It is a blatant appeal to incite humiliation and violence on a woman.
	No, it's not.
	Some have excused it as dark humour.
	That's what it is.
	There is mo' joke here, Jeremy Clarkson, and no excuse.
	Mo' jokes, mo' problems.
	That's a typo.
	Maybe we could let him off, but, you know, it was sitting there.
	My favourite, of course, Jason Manfred.
	He's actually deleted his tweet, I think.
	But he said, if you can defend Clarkson in this, it's down in this article, then please don't reply to me.
	Just unfollow and block and move on.
	We are never going to agree.
	And Jason Manfred, of course, has never done anything morally dubious.
	Oh, except having phone sex with a woman five weeks before his wedding.
	I was hoping John was just going to cut to that one.
	There it is.
	Go down.
	I didn't know that.
	Go down, go down.
	There you go.
	Jason Manfred had phone sets with a single mum just five weeks before his wedding.
	And the reason I've thrown Manfred on the bus is because when I was at my lowest point, being piled on by the whole comedy industry was a national news story in the Express and Telegraph and on the Jeremy Vine show.
	People are saying, should I have said this?
	The whole comedy world attacking me for something I said.
	Manfred piled in, 300 buster, nearly 400,000 people, added to the pile on when I was at my lowest moment.
	And just so, you know, karma's coming back.
	So I just want to point that out.
	Yeah, good.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, this is the thing as well.
	It eventually happened to him.
	He himself, he was cancelled.
	He was cancelled for this indiscretion and lost his BBC One job.
	And he said he was suicidal because of it, yet still piled on me at my lowest point.
	So how can someone do that, Callum?
	Lack of empathy and Manfred is getting what's coming to him.
	So that's dealt with.
	Kathy Burke weighed in as well.
	This is interesting.
	Watch the rest of Harry and Meghan Netflix.
	Still think they're pretty great and I love their relationship with Megan's gorgeous mum, Doria.
	No you don't.
	Wishing them continued happiness and people like that colossal bleep C-word Clarkson.
	Continued pain with the thought of it.
	So she's wishing pain against someone because she's a good person.
	You could argue he did that with Megan.
	What I find interesting about this is two things.
	One...
	People who are part of the regime have to pretend to like people.
	Do you remember when Louis C.K. said Hillary Clinton was a good person?
	No one thinks that.
	So I don't really believe that Cathy thinks that Harry and Meghan are these great people.
	But what struck me about this was when my friend Sean Walsh was cancelled on a national scale for an indiscretion on the dancing show where everyone cheats, and it's even called a curse because it's the curse of Strictly.
	So he kissed a hot dancer on that and was destroyed by the press for two years.
	And the tabular press are bad, by the way, speaking of the sun.
	Anyway, Kathy weighed in and called him the C-word.
	She said, I always thought he was a C-word.
	And this is one of Sean's people he's loved growing up and loved watching her work.
	So he was completely gutted about it.
	But then a couple of years later, he releases a special about it where he's really funny and does a comedy special.
	And she was saying, hey, everyone's got to watch this special.
	It's absolutely brilliant.
	I'm like, do you even remember the people you're condemning and stamping on their face when they're down?
	When they're bad, you say they're bad.
	When they're good, you say they're good.
	Do you even have any continuity in your mind?
	It's so annoying.
	You know, like, oh, people hate Callum on me.
	Yeah, Callum's scum.
	I've always said that.
	Next week, I always love Callum.
	It's that simple.
	It's like the guy on Wall Street where he's like, I always, I like you.
	And in the end, he's like, I always knew there was a property.
	You know, it's just that transparent.
	I'm angry.
	So while we're doing comedians and comedy type people, Baddiel, David Baddiel, It comes out against context.
	Might just be me, but I'd say the Game of Thrones shamewalk sequence is also a violent misogynistic fantasy.
	He's trumped them by saying, even in the original, that was misogyny.
	Never mind the context that, like I say, it was done to a character by annoying people who were then brutally killed by her, and we all rejoiced.
	Never mind that.
	The director just made her do it.
	Cameras off, just walk down that street while we throw something.
	Yeah, yeah.
	How can it be misogynistic when it's within the context of fiction?
	We could have a larger discussion about whether Game of Thrones is an amoral landscape, and especially the ending seems to confirm that, and whether it is all sort of bad in a sense.
	But I think we have to accept that within the fictitious premise, this shame walk was not seen as a good thing.
	So David Baddiel's comment is asinine, to use an Andrew Tate word.
	So, disappointed by him.
	Chris Packham though, I thought one, now he's a naturalist, I don't know if it's, you know, there's naturists, there's the ones that get naked and the ones that don't.
	He's one that works with animals and stuff.
	And he's a naturalist.
	So he weighs in, it's hate crime, pure and simple.
	If there are any sort of justice, there would be laws that would jail him.
	Jail him, Callum, for that column and shut down the publisher.
	Is this the country we want to live in?
	Is this what we should tolerate?
	We must ask ourselves, where is this leading?
	Nowhere good.
	I forgot why I hate this place so much.
	Callum leaves to Afghanistan.
	Callum has left the chat.
	Everyone's trying to kill each other.
	Someone made a joke in a newspaper.
	Really?
	Packs bags and goes to Russia the next day.
	Sorry, Callum.
	I've broken Callum, guys, already.
	Yeah, I know.
	This guy in his Twitter has pictures of caterpillars and those caterpillars have a higher IQ than him.
	It's been confirmed.
	I mean, jail Callum.
	Where is this going?
	No way good.
	We do have that law.
	Section 127.
	If he had done it online, it would be a problem.
	Because he did it on a physical newspaper, then they can't object and say it's grossly offensive.
	But the thing is, that law is bollocks and everyone knows it.
	That's why Count Dankula got arrested.
	Oh yeah.
	And they've kept that in the online safety, believe it, haven't they?
	But the idea that that would be a better world where Clarkson gets jailed for that.
	What kind of world are we heading for, guys?
	No, we want to go to my world.
	It's called China on steroids.
	Horrific.
	Horrific dystopia.
	Woke China.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	So the mirror, and this is how far it's gone.
	This was in the Daily Mirror.
	Jeremy Clarkson won't face police probe over Megan Colm, met Chief Say's.
	Met Chief Sir Mark Rowley said the police will keep a close eye on it after Jeremy Carleton's column.
	So he admits that, oh, we're not going to do anything right now.
	Legal lines are only close generally when things are said that are intended.
	It's going on the list.
	Yeah, or likely to stir up violence.
	So I don't think that's the case, but we'll keep an eye on it.
	Like when Biden said, we'll keep an eye on Elon Musk.
	You know, we're just massive authorities.
	You'll keep an eye on Clarkson because he said he wrote a satirical, fairly amusing column about an incredibly powerful person.
	Anyway.
	Yeah, I mean, also there's a good point there, the power and privilege disparity.
	I'm going to get on to that.
	We'll get on to that in a sec, because the lefty grifting now begins.
	And you pointed out some of these to me.
	Don't you know she's part of the working class?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Are you serious?
	No, no, it gets bad.
	But here comes Stella Creasy's claim that violence against women is due to Clarkson's column.
	Let's have a look at her reasoning here.
	Actually, what's important about that is the bit beforehand, because he talks about this in the context of a whole series of women that he finds objectionable, and his answer to him feeling objectionable is to encourage the abuse and harassment of them.
	Now, to be clear, when we've had other forms of hatred, what we've done is said, actually, that drives crimes.
	Misogyny is driving crimes against women.
	Shut up!
	There's a baby!
	It's not to create a new crime.
	It's not to make misogyny an offence.
	It's to recognise that where it is driving crimes, like abuse, like harassment, then sentences should reflect that.
	And the cultural impact that's had is very clear.
	I am middle-aged now.
	I remember things being on television in my younger years that we would now recognise as deeply racist and creating an environment where racial hatred and abuse can flourish that then leads to criminal abuse.
	It's time to do the same thing about misogyny, because 51% of our country puts their keys in their hands before they go out at night, checks their roots.
	When crimes happen to them, people say, well, what were you wearing?
	Were you wearing your headphones?
	Were you looking where you were going?
	Why were you out at night?
	We treat women differently, and this kind of behaviour, this kind of language, creates the culture in which that is permissible.
	Do you realise the kind of comparison she's making there?
	I do.
	Because she's making it to hate speech laws, and that harkens back if you really want to get down to it.
	The Daily Stormer?
	I mean, Shryker over there writing that the Jews are unhuman, blah blah blah blah blah.
	Well, that happens, so Jeremy Clarkson should also go to jail.
	Yeah, it's a loser.
	Satirical amusing columns lead to women getting raped on the street at night.
	That seems to be the absolute fantasy.
	Well, I wasn't going to rape, but that was funny.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I know.
	Jeremy Clark's just a normal guy, edgy sense of humour-ish.
	We've all known him for years, never done anything except punch that BBC guy, and he was a man.
	So this has some link with violence, evil criminals.
	Absolutely no link at all, but they want to use it to promote their laws and oppress us all.
	And Kate Osborne, on your earlier point, was actually perfect with this.
	She had a great tweet about it that said, no, it's not an attack on free speech.
	Yes, it is.
	No, it's not just dark humour.
	Yes, it is.
	Yes, it incites hatred and fuels violence against women.
	No, it doesn't.
	Name which violence, like which violent act has taken place since the column.
	Right, and then my favourite bit.
	Abusive white men with power and huge media platforms should not be exempt from accountability.
	One, why are you being sexist and racist?
	Please stop.
	Two, guess who else has power and a huge media platform?
	Meghan Markle.
	It's called Netflix.
	Well, she's a white man as well.
	Oh, wait.
	Yeah.
	Bugger.
	Exactly.
	She's probably a white woman, but she's a princess with a massive documentary on Netflix.
	She's powerless, Callum.
	Absolutely powerless.
	And let's play her moronic video as well.
	well and she actually is labor at least labor mp k osborne who sits on the women and equality select committee had this to say a constituent of mine called susan said that the comments in her view were racist and so domestic and represent the worst kind of oppression by powerful white men and i think that says it all really Abusive white men with power and huge media platforms should not be exempt from accountability.
	I hate this place.
	I hate this place so much.
	I know.
	It's made me hate life.
	By the way, just earlier, when I said where's Stella Creasy's baby, it's because she had a big thing about bringing a baby into the house.
	It wasn't because I think all women should have their babies.
	No, she does, though.
	She thinks that you should walk around with it everywhere.
	Just thought I had to flag that.
	Because someone in my ear said, don't you get sacked, Nick, from GB News.
	But yeah, that was absolutely pathetic.
	What's it got to do with abusive white men?
	They just make it their racial grift.
	Where was it racist?
	I thought the comments were racist.
	No one mentioned race.
	I know.
	You mentioned race.
	I know.
	Absolute evil insanity.
	And this was an interesting one people haven't picked up on.
	Clarkson's ungrateful daughter.
	Let's have a look at her.
	Jeremy Clarkson's daughter speaks out against Meghan Markle ran.
	I remain standing in support.
	Oh, John's just taken that away.
	Well, let's go to the next one then, where she put this thing on Instagram.
	There we go.
	My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media.
	I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those that are targeted with online hatred.
	This is disgusting.
	Get out of the will, number one.
	Out of the will.
	Get out of my house.
	Or the house.
	Come on.
	It's always embarrassing to see families be turned on each other because of ideological bollocks.
	What happened to Christianity?
	We used to have a Christian culture, Callum.
	There was a thing called honour your father and mother.
	Even if your dad does something you don't like, you don't condemn him and throw him under the bus in public.
	That's disgusting, baby.
	Especially when he's done nothing wrong as well.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	If it does something really, really bad, even then you don't.
	I think blanket policy.
	Don't dishonour your father in public.
	Blanket policy.
	Father murders ten people.
	Well, he's still my dad.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You just remain silent.
	You don't condemn.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm not sure about that.
	No, no.
	You don't condemn your mother and father because you're not allowed to judge them and say what they should and shouldn't do.
	This is my...
	Jimmy Savile, I might think about it, but as a general rule, you can go a long way with that and certainly not for a column.
	I mean, just shut up.
	What are you doing?
	For a joke, that's pathetic.
	What are you doing to your dad?
	It's disgusting.
	He gave you everything.
	Anyway, so that was her.
	And then Daniela Nadj, this sort of idiot German woman who pipes up on Twitter a lot.
	Jeremy Clarkson should lose all media work he currently has, and the editor of The Sun needs to be sacked for inciting violence against women.
	Yes, let's put cancel culture in full motion!
	It's quite a part out loud now.
	It's the meme where it's not happening.
	Okay, it's happening, but it's a good thing.
	We've entered that with cancel culture.
	For a while, even woke people started to go, oh, cancel culture has gone too far.
	Yeah, you know, or it doesn't exist.
	There's different takes.
	And then it's like, no, we love it and we're doing it.
	Let's do it harder.
	She doubled down.
	She had a second one.
	Second one, do we have that one John?
	We've got another one.
	Time to boycott who wants to be a millionaire until they sack Clarkson.
	Please also consider writing to the station to get rid of him.
	His comments were beyond vile and dangerous.
	The man needs to be off our TV screens.
	We've just gone straight back into cancel culture.
	Even Justin Welby, who gets a lot wrong and says awful stuff, the other day said that cancel culture has gone too far and it's actually crucifying people, which is a strange choice of word for an archbishop in a way, but...
	He said, I think we've been very unforgiving.
	When people make a mistake, they're absolutely, to use a phrase from my own world, crucified for it.
	Sorry I couldn't think of another word.
	And he's recognised.
	I know.
	You know, in Syria, yeah.
	I mean, quite a few Christians were crucified and cancelled.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, and I just think it's interesting that we've gone through this thing with cancel culture.
	It's sort of died down a bit, and now we've just completely forgotten we're going full on cancel culture again because of Clarkson's naughty column.
	And I summed it up in my tweet, which seemed to do all right.
	Oh, 4,000 likes.
	I didn't know it was doing all right.
	So I said Clarkson was doing an obvious, if crude and misjudged, Game of Thrones satire.
	He was also lampooning himself with the absurd exaggeration of his hatred.
	But now we have to go through the cancellation ritual yet again, ironically chanting shame at him.
	We have learned nothing.
	Is that about to sum it up?
	I think so, but I disagree that it's crude built or misjudged.
	I throw that in for the normies.
	Yeah, I've seen that used so much, though, by so many people.
	No, it made sense, and it's perfectly fine.
	Obviously, I can't say my real views, Colin, but I put it into normies.
	But yeah, it probably was fine.
	But yeah, look, would I have done it?
	I ask myself, and I go, no, I probably wouldn't, because my writing...
	I'm not that talented, either.
	No, I am, but my writing is a bit more subtle.
	NickDixon.substack.com And I probably wouldn't have done it.
	But, you know, and if you want to know more of my opinions, you can go up by Substack.
	There's free and paid options.
	NickDixon.substack.com It's called The Conservative Rebel.
	It's a growing brand.
	And thank you, that was my bit.
	That was fun.
	I've messed up the scrolling.
	Sorry, folks.
	There we are.
	Goodbye, Dai!
	Everyone hated you.
	Which is something I didn't think I'd ever get to say, frankly.
	People who don't know what Dai is, it's obviously diversity, inclusion, inequality, all that crap.
	And it's actually Dai, which is good news, I think.
	We'll start off just by mentioning something, which is something new on the website, of course, thelosiers.com.
	The interview with Richard Tice that Bo did recently, which...
	I'm mentioning because, well, it's always nice to have some people, I think he's the most recent chap, who's in the opposition, actual opposition that exists in this country, and in which case, it's nice to have him on.
	That's good that you got him, and it's quite based that he would come on.
	But now we have to go for a man, a local man, who has no chill.
	No time for chill.
	And can get away with it.
	We have Rakib over here.
	Oh boy, this is going to be fun.
	He decided to write this article.
	And this is how we're going to set up why I think Di is definitely dying.
	I love it when I come here when it's Callum.
	Because he's like, he was going to do a thing on why Russia's good.
	He took that one out.
	It's like, I'll put the multiculturalism on it instead.
	Anything to end Nick's career.
	Well, we were having some banter beforehand.
	And you were like, oh, you'll probably write this or write that.
	Ha ha.
	And I was just like, yeah, what if I wrote this and this?
	So that will get you cancelled.
	And I'm like...
	What if I try?
	So, what with this?
	So in 2023, we need a reckoning with multiculturalism.
	Oh boy.
	He says here, from Telford to, sorry, from Telford to Leicester, the poisonous influence of multiculturalism was impossible to ignore this year.
	Other than that, that's the year roundup.
	I like the way it's this year, yeah, yeah.
	What trends were there this year?
	Racial violence on the street.
	Every other year.
	Britain remains a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith society, he writes, but 2022 served up several brutal reminders of how quickly social cohesion can unravel under the impact of divisive ideological ideology and multiculturalism.
	I've got to stop them there.
	I don't know how that works, to be honest, mate.
	You can't sit there and be like, well, we are a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith society, but also, there's massive ethnic and faith-based conflicts going on.
	But they're not going on all the time.
	Come on, man.
	Well, that's him doing his crude and misjudged.
	That's him just hedging it a little bit just to make it palatable.
	So this place is successful.
	Not often successful, but still successful.
	I mean, not often successful doesn't sound like success to me, but whatever.
	He says, Sorry.
	And the sentence just before that I liked, he said it could prove a watershed moment for community relations in modern Britain.
	I'm thinking it won't, though.
	Nothing will happen.
	We know what the future holds, which is, funnily enough, when you had a conflict this long, let's take Serbs and Albanians.
	Historically get along.
	Most recently, love each other, I heard.
	Anyway, but when I was living in Canterbury, the local authorities seemed to think the same thing.
	They'd taken quite a lot of Serbs and Albanians, I think from the Yugoslav Wars, and apparently they'd put them together in the same sort of area, and now all their kids were going to the same schools, the same primary school.
	And it got so bad at one point that the Albanians and Serbs parents turned up with knives one day, and were all shouting and screaming at each other in foreign, unintelligible language, and the school had to call the police.
	It's almost as if you could have seen this coming.
	And frankly, I don't care what the official line was on how well everything was going with trying to integrate Indians and Pakistanis into Leicester.
	I think we knew the outcome of that one eventually.
	Just saying.
	Sort of Epcot centre of probably every problem from around the world plays out in microcosm.
	But if you get a load of Argentinians and a load of Mongolians, who knows what's going to happen there?
	But if you get a bunch of Serbs and Albanians, it's like, I can have a guess, perhaps.
	Bit of a town planning issue.
	Carry on.
	That's what I'm going to refer to in future.
	It's been another town planning issue.
	This time in Rotherham, I think.
	Anyway, indeed, just a few weeks before the unrest erupted, the University of Leicester announced plans to hold a series of events celebrating its migratory history and diverse population.
	Very recent change.
	John Williams from the University of Units for Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement, DICE, he's added another letter in there so it doesn't sound like die.
	That's clever.
	Said at the time of the inward migration, it has now transformed Leicester from a tired and nondescript city into a thriving multicultural success.
	Which just happens to now have racial and ethnic conflict that it didn't have before.
	That's what I call success.
	Whereas the English city that was there before was tired and nondescript.
	I mean, I would have thought the description would be English.
	That's nondescript, apparently.
	I think I'd take nondescript at this point in our culture.
	Nondescript seems like halcyon days now.
	Remember when life was nondescript?
	You probably don't, you're too young.
	Life used to be nondescript, Callum, and not that much happened.
	I'm thinking Hot Fuzz without the weird cult that runs through the village.
	I haven't seen it, but I believe you.
	You haven't seen Hot Fuzz?
	No, I'm sorry.
	Oh, it's my turn to bully someone from a movie.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You haven't seen Fight Club.
	Oh, well.
	Well, we don't talk about it.
	Anyway.
	Numerous early reports suggested that the disorder was initially sparked by disturbances following the Asia Cup cricket match, which everyone in England cares about, between India and Pakistan, or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	But Rob Nixon, now the chief constable of Leicester Police, has since said that the tensions were actually about before the Cup.
	They were simmering for a while, he says.
	Been a while, yeah.
	Almost as if you take a load of Pakistanis and Indians, put them in a town together, halfway across the world, they might bring some baggage.
	I wonder why tensions were simmering.
	It wasn't just local cricket fans up and about having a bit of a scuffle.
	No.
	It was the age-old conflict between two.
	I love that.
	I've been simming for a while, this guy.
	Kind of forever.
	About, oh, I don't know, 1,400 years?
	Something like that?
	Tensions between India and Pakistan over the disputed area of Kashmir have provided one source of antagonism between Hindus and Muslims.
	Just one of them.
	There's a few others.
	How long have you got?
	Exactly.
	Nixon has also pointed to a growing distance between both communities' traditional religious leaders and younger generations, leaving a vacuum that has been filled by social media personalities who peddle ultra-religious identity politics.
	Why don't you do the identity?
	No, you don't do the religious bit.
	I don't do the religious either.
	You're just an extreme online personality.
	Why don't you go for a visit?
	Trust me, it's good.
	Anyway, but also I had no idea that these things took place.
	Who could have seen?
	All of this is very worrying, but to understand why an ultra-religious identity politics has flourished in Leicester among young Muslims and Hindus, or why they appear to have a great affinity with India and Pakistan, but not Britain, one needs to take a look at the root cause.
	Multiculturalism.
	Now, Chap, you are correct.
	But at the same time...
	I've got to keep saying it.
	Who didn't see this coming?
	Come on, guys.
	I'm trying to think of other flashpoint ethnicities.
	Maybe Ukrainians and Russians.
	We'll move those all in, in a flat share in London, and I'm sure it'll go swimmingly.
	He continues, Well, which nation do they live in?
	Not which kingdom.
	Like, sure, they live in the United Kingdom.
	Our kingdom, right?
	But which nation do they live in, exactly?
	Like, if you're living in an area that is, like, 50-60% Hindu-Indian, or 50-60% Muslim-Pakistani, I mean, it ain't being funny, but it ain't that different from home.
	I mean, this is actually something we covered with Meapuri Pakistanis.
	It's the funniest thing.
	I should send it to you afterwards.
	So Meapur is a city in Pakistan where we've had like the most of our Pakistanis come from.
	It's a weird quirk.
	We have so much.
	But if you go to Meapur, it's unbelievably British, which is hilarious, because them in England are very like, I miss Pakistan, but in Pakistan they're all like, yeah, I miss England.
	In fact, you can even pay in British pounds for Coco Pops in the local shop, and the Coco Pops has the price in British pounds on it, on the box.
	The Empire never died.
	No, it certainly didn't.
	They took it home, which is just really funny.
	So you're saying that they're like the Seattle autonomous zone, they're separate little nations now within the alleged nation of England that used to exist.
	I mean, Trevor Phillips has been making this point for all of like 20 years.
	I feel like it's fair in pointing it out.
	Anyway, he goes on to say that obviously there's that problem.
	And I just want to point out as well, this is well known.
	If we go to the next one here, we have Iran protests in London.
	It got violent.
	Why?
	Why?
	I mean, there is a long-standing, like, phraseology used about the English, which is they care about nothing but what happens on their damn island, and we just don't care about the foreigners.
	Known for it, like every other ethnic group on Earth is like, I care about international politics, I care about our neighbours, and the English are like, I don't.
	And yet we have lots of protests about Iran.
	We've got the next one here.
	Whatever the hell this was.
	And the Albanians.
	I remember there's been, like, conflicts between different Afghans at one time, back before the new government, where there were Shia and Sunni Afghans fighting each other in London.
	I don't know if you remember seeing that footage.
	Yeah.
	It was hilarious.
	Go on.
	But you just, like...
	What dog in that fight do we have?
	Well, yeah.
	Every time anything happens in Palestine, Israel, it's always a big protest on our streets.
	In London, you've got to talk about it.
	Yeah.
	And the Albanian one did bother people because not just the Albanian part, but putting the flag over Churchill, that's when you're really taking the piss, isn't it?
	Conquest.
	As Douglas Murray said, every time you go after Churchill, you're going after our national hero.
	The real guy had problems like anyone, but it's our national mythology, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	But we'll go back to the article, because he says, the problems created by multiculturalism are only more likely to become more pronounced if the latest UK census data is anything to go by.
	They show that Britain is becoming ever more ethnically and religious diverse a society.
	And the thing is, though, on the ethnic front especially, let's be frank, that just means a more divided society.
	Because if we were not becoming more ethnically diverse, if people coming here were then integrating into the ethnic group that are the English and the British, the census data would be stagnant.
	Like, there wouldn't be an increase.
	It would be like people integrating at the same rate they're coming in.
	In which case, you would not be coming more divided.
	And that's fundamentally, if we're just truthful about it, I mean, why do we have ethnic conflicts from around the world that we couldn't give a crap about.
	It's because there's more divisions.
	And why did that happen?
	Yeah.
	And it's quite interesting that this is in spite.
	I mean, I've met Racky at GB, but because Spiked are Marxists, ultimately.
	I mean, that's what they say they are.
	And it's quite, they're funny guys.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But it's interesting that they'll cover this now, because you could say, I know people think they're like right-wing or libertarian, but they're not really.
	I think Brendan's and Marx is still, you know, I'm not sure if Tom is, Fraser, one of those is, I think maybe Fraser.
	So, you know, it's quite interesting that they are covering stuff like this.
	It certainly is.
	He goes on here to mention that the evidence of multiculturalism's failures aren't just in Leicester.
	He goes on to highlight, of course, the never-ending grooming gang scandals and so forth and so forth, and it won't ever end.
	But one of the things I had to mention is that when I was in Russia recently, I met a guy, and it was hilarious because he knows everything about the West.
	He speaks English and has an understanding of what we're up to.
	We were chatting about politics, and he started laughing at me.
	He was like, oh yeah, another thing.
	By the way, why are you guys doing diversity hiring?
	I was like, what do you mean?
	He was like, we used to have that in the Soviet Union.
	Like, his grandfather was, like, I think ethnically German or whatever, and then he tried to get into a university, and he could, I believe, if I'm telling the story correctly, because he was an ethnic minority in the Soviet sector of Russia...
	He got a lowered score, like black Americans do.
	Whereas if you're Russian, you get a higher score, like the Asian Americans do.
	And if you're Armenian, you're just in the middle, like the white Americans.
	But theirs was the same, but it was just pro-Russia.
	The exact same crap we did, but anti-Russian.
	Right, right, right.
	It was pro-ethnic minority.
	Oh yeah, sorry, sorry.
	Even in the Soviet Union.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, that's incredible.
	It's always chilling when people say, oh yeah, this is just like...
	People are from the Soviet Union.
	Yeah, they're like, no, we literally did this.
	But I think we're transcending them now and becoming worse.
	I think that's where we're, you know...
	Oh, 100%.
	Slightly better cars, but it's basically the same.
	And by the way, just for the listener, when Callum says he was in Russia, he means he was in Ukraine, but he just doesn't acknowledge it.
	He calls it all Russia.
	We establish it.
	This was a chat in Moscow.
	Anyway, but the point is that if we go to the next one, I'm not kidding, it is getting worse, and you were absolutely on the money before you even knew it.
	There you have it.
	White man applying for West Yorkshire police is told we're only hiring women and minorities.
	And everyone says, can you do that legally?
	There's always a question that comes up, but it does just seem to go on.
	Yeah, even if it's illegal.
	One policeman successfully sued them, didn't he?
	Yes.
	But that's the thing.
	Are you really going to sue?
	Really want that to be your life for the next six months?
	Six months, you're lucky in the court system now, yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They say in here, only ethnic minorities and women can apply at any time.
	Not at this time.
	It's not even the case that it's like, yeah, we're doing this first for them and then we'll expand the poll.
	at any time is the direct quote from the police councillor mark thompson conservative spoke out after a white man had applied for a job and was unable to have his application even progressed as he did not belong to a minority group the prospective recruit was told that his application would be held until a police officer recruitment was open for everyone Well, by the way, in our capital city, people who identify as white British are 36%.
	That is a minority group, isn't it?
	But he's saying because this was in the wrong town.
	Couldn't he argue that he is now a minority group?
	They're also a minority if you just want to do, like, white as a category globally.
	But none of this makes any sense or matters.
	Yes, a global minority.
	Minority doesn't mean anything in the dictionary.
	That's always a funny one, because that's now a phrase they use, isn't it?
	Global majority.
	Because they say it's more empowering than minority.
	And that means, you know, what's the norm?
	But then why are you describing...
	That means white people are minorities.
	So when do we get our rights?
	So you're literally saying you're trying to de-empower white people?
	A minority, yeah.
	Demoralize them?
	You're crushing a minority.
	A global minority, you're crushing them.
	But anyway, I'd rather just, you know, use, like, the accurate terms instead of playing word games.
	In response, Mayor Barben defended the police recruitment process.
	Because of course he did.
	Quote, When I became mayor of West Yorkshire, I committed 100% to get our West Yorkshire police to reflect the communities we serve.
	And Aslan Lowe has been exceptional deputy mayor, leading to the way as a woman of colour.
	That's all she is.
	She's usually like my pet or something.
	She's a woman of colour.
	She's not leading the way on anything else.
	She's crap at maths.
	Like Diana Abbott.
	I mean, she can't, like, reform the police for Toffee.
	You know, rapes are up, murders are up, but, you know, she's a woman of colour.
	I'm sorry, I just can't get over the way these people speak sometimes about their own supposed comrades.
	She understands more than most that we have to build trust if we are to police by consent, and that trust is built by representation.
	Maoist diatribe.
	The policing will just be better if we're more brown.
	How?
	Just believe me.
	That's ridiculous.
	It's a direction of travel, and I will not apologise for trying to get the police force to reflect the people we serve.
	That's the end of the matter, by the way.
	They're all criminals.
	These have to be criminals now to accurately reflect the people they say.
	Well, actually, yeah, I suppose what percentage of the police are criminals in Yorkshire?
	Well, that's true as well.
	Well, they wouldn't be represented if it's not like, you know, 20% or something like that.
	I'm joking.
	Oh, I thought you meant...
	Oh, go on.
	Carry on.
	It's the end of the matter as well.
	Like, the dude who has just had his job rejected for being white, he'll have to sue.
	That's his only route.
	And presumably, so will all the American comedic writers.
	I thought you'd enjoy this.
	Amy Schumer, John Oliver, and Trevor Noah, I'm sure the funniest people in comedy, the hottest.
	I mean, John Stewart on steroids, kinds of popular.
	They're amongst a set of more than 50 comedians and late-night hosts who have pledged to increase diversity, equality, and inclusion in comedy.
	Because the writers are overwhelmingly white.
	And this is the thing that happened in comedy, even in the UK. You weren't allowed to be white anymore on the screen with a few exceptions.
	Now you can't even be white off the screen.
	Yeah, but you could write for someone who wasn't white behind the scenes.
	Now, purge the whites out of the writing room.
	That's what I say.
	I don't know what they're going to do about the white cleaners who have to clean up off them.
	Is Amy Schumer going to still be white herself and John Oliver?
	That's not quite clear in this.
	Oh, they're allowed to, because they've got the right opinions until their kids try and get a job and then their kids come.
	Amy Schumer, who Netflix had to change their rating system for because she had such bad ratings on her special.
	And Trevor Noah, who's never been funny, who could never be funny in a billion gazillion years.
	John Oliver can be a reasonable...
	I do love the way he says it is the current year.
	It's 2015, guys.
	Anyway...
	But they go on in here.
	I'm going to skip through it just because of the time's sake.
	But they basically just whine and say that not enough brown people.
	There we are.
	It's a very convincing argument.
	If you want to go read a billion words that say that, you can.
	I love this.
	Late night writers' rooms have been historically overwhelmingly white.
	As if there's a history of late night writers' rooms.
	It's just not an important thing.
	We've got the museum of late night writers' rooms.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Here you'll see the first script of the Jay Leno show.
	Don't go past the rope.
	Shut up!
	Yeah, you're right.
	But anyway, the good news about Die Dying is that, if we go forward here, is that I've seen, noticeably, more of this.
	You have some, like, conservative minister on who is just confronted with, well, we don't have any money in the UK, so why are you spending 120 grand on a new head of diversity for the NHS? Great question.
	And you see, like, him just being awkward and being like, oh, crap.
	He quibbles about, well, we do have to fight racism, don't we?
	Shut up.
	Shut your mouth.
	This is not about fighting racism.
	Yeah, I've heard people say, well, what about all this money we're spending on these kind of things?
	Couldn't it be, you know, re-rooted or whatever?
	And I always think that's overplayed because it's just not that much money in the scheme of our massive financials.
	But it is the thing you do day one, isn't it?
	Day one, all diversity, inclusion, equality.
	Oh, that's gone.
	That cut immediately.
	It's not even insignificant.
	We went through it the other day, which is just like, you could actually, everyone who's on strike this Christmas, you know, like nothing works for us this year, all of those people, you could give them a pay rise with inflation, that's more than they're asking for, if you just cut the die budget from central government.
	Wow.
	All the mail and the nurses?
	Yes.
	Wow, okay.
	You could have them all back to work tomorrow.
	Incredible.
	Anyway, we've got the HR outlets who are on Suicide Watch because it is dying as we speak.
	How to keep die out of the budget cuts?
	Yeah, okay.
	How to keep the obvious first thing that should definitely be cut out of the cut.
	That's hilarious.
	They're like on their knees in this article.
	There's ample research to promote diversity, equality, and inclusivity leads to organisations becoming more profitable.
	Bollocks.
	Shut up.
	We'll leave that for a minute.
	There's also the Financial Times who have to come out and tell us about how to not have any financial sense.
	Recession is no excuse for going backwards on diversity.
	I mean, it's a pretty good one.
	Probably the best one.
	I mean, if I can't feed my family, or I can at least have a brown friend.
	It's like, what?
	You don't need that.
	It's not a status symbol.
	I don't know why you think like this.
	Necessity is a pretty good reason to get rid of frivolous rubbish that no one likes.
	They say in here there's a conference in which someone talks about the fact, some conservative lord in fact, talks about how the woke agenda is not something we should be cutting.
	I was like, okay, thank you, conservative.
	Many companies see the need to keep a focus on inclusivity and ESG in the workplace, but many voices are complaining about the resulting cost.
	It's like...
	Yeah.
	There is that.
	Yeah, there's a pretty good reason.
	And time!
	And the burden is getting even louder, he writes.
	A burden can't get louder.
	Mixed metaphor.
	Carry on.
	One chair even said that the public company model is broken because 70% of the board's agenda is typically on governance and regulation.
	Directors have to worry about their gender pay gap, whether it's gone up or down, and whether that might mean that they'll be written about in the Daily Express.
	But yeah, that's a pretty good reason to stop all this crap.
	Instead, try and make some money, lads.
	Certainly, what is troubling those in the boardroom is unlikely to be what's troubling many of their employees, who are likely to be facing below-inflation pay rises, women as well as disabled people and those from ethnic minorities or less affluent backgrounds.
	Yikes.
	Okay.
	I'm often among those the lowest paid, according to the Office for National Statistics.
	Which, again...
	Imagine thinking that employees desire to be paid the same rather than desire to be paid more.
	So no, I don't mind being poor if we're all poor.
	It's back to the classic Thatcher thing, which he did in the...
	You want this, and she wants...
	He actually wrote that.
	Companies adopting the highest levels of diversity and inclusion tend to have higher productivity and performance, which can be crucial in difficult months.
	Yeah, again, like, don't believe your lying eyes.
	I mean, we can all see these people, their jobs.
	We've gone through it a million times.
	Like, June Sarpong.
	It was getting paid more than the PM. Oh, yeah.
	What did she do?
	She worked three and a half days a week.
	What was the work?
	We're still not really sure.
	She couldn't define it.
	She was a presenter of a pop music show when I was growing up.
	Now she's running diversity policy.
	It's absolute madness.
	She basically just went to Zoom meetings and had cocktail dinners.
	Incredible.
	It was very tough.
	Very tough.
	Anyway...
	He continues to whine in here about the fact that we've got to do more to defend diversity because it's going to hell.
	And frankly, it can stay there, is all I'm thinking.
	And I'm glad it's dying.
	And if you are someone who, well, pinned your entire life to promoting diversity, inclusion, and equality, bye-bye.
	Enjoy getting a job.
	Learn to code.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	The Twitter file revelations seem to be proving the ol' hacker slogan, Information wants to be free.
	There will always be hackers, crackers, and freakers either trying to create open-source versions or jailbreak what exists just because they can.
	Tyranny, even tech tyranny, just can't stand up to plain old contrarianism.
	At least in the long run, at any rate.
	I didn't hear a word, and it's just because I'm so distracted by your amazing creation, frankly.
	I didn't, because it was really quiet, because I had to turn it down a bit, because you were too loud during the main thing, so you weren't booming out.
	So I feel really bad, because I completely just didn't pay attention.
	It looked cool, though.
	I was looking at that thing there, just thinking, how amazing would that be in Halloween, if you can dress it up like a spider, get it to be a little bit quicker, just have it go towards someone in the dark?
	Have you seen...
	Some people have done that dressed up as clowns.
	No.
	You hide in the dark and then you jump out and you scare someone and you film it for a video, right?
	And then someone did it with their dog where they put loads of legs on it and covered up its form so it didn't look like a dog.
	But then, of course, it's a happy puppy and it just wants to have friends.
	So someone's walking in the night and the happy puppy just comes running up to them and they're like, what the fuck is that?
	Yeah, I disapprove of all that.
	Carry on.
	I don't know why I'm saying that.
	It's not up to me.
	But anyway, cool creations.
	Sorry, you'll have to tell us again.
	We'll go to the next one.
	Australian News!
	So one of the debates that's been happening all of this year in Australia, aside from the obvious COVID and restrictions, was I won't Is the idea of creating a separate, but equal, parliament for the aboriginals.
	This idea, fought off by the Labour Party of course, they believe they will create opportunities and will help the local indigenous people.
	Because nothing says improving racial equality by separating people based purely on their race.
	This idea of a second parliament for the aboriginals will not improve their livelihood.
	No.
	You know what it will do?
	Is though the people who go into that parliament will have nice cushy government jobs.
	And they'll be better off.
	That's a lot of change.
	Segregation for progress.
	Something like that, I don't know.
	Clipping that.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Hey guys, I just bought a house.
	And by 2030, I'm gonna have paid it off.
	You know why?
	It's because...
	F*** this stupid ass!
	It's great to hear, man.
	Speaking of 2030, did you hear that stat that we're estimated to have a lower GDP per capita than Poland by 2030?
	So we'll be going over doing cleaning jobs and building ourselves in Poland in a few years.
	Honestly, it'll be good for us.
	Fair enough.
	Because it'll be part of this culture.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We'll destroy the culture with our Western ways.
	Yeah.
	To be honest, I imagine that is how quite a lot of those in the East see us, like Californians.
	You know the great migration from California to the Red States, and everyone's like...
	Yeah, yeah.
	You're putting red, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And I imagine if we end up in Eastern Europe, they're going to be looking at us the same way, which I'm not looking forward to.
	Right.
	Yeah, it's got a strange world.
	Can't help but notice my sub-stacks popped up on the screen.
	I don't know why, but...
	Conservative rebel.
	John's put it up there.
	Lots of good articles.
	Some free, some paywalled.
	I've got my England is Lost Forever is a good one that Lotus fans will like.
	Maybe I'll unpaywall that for some of you, maybe, if you're lucky.
	Or, I don't know, I'll decide.
	Anyway, did you read that one?
	It was quite good.
	Probably tame for you, though, Callum.
	You knew England was lost ages ago.
	Oh, yeah, you can't read.
	Yeah.
	Sorry about that.
	Why work this job?
	Anyway...
	Let's go to the written comments on the site.
	So, Chango98 says, Well, thank you so much, Chango98.
	That is accurate and very nice.
	He also has the smallest ego.
	I don't want to say it's accurate.
	I do want to condemn Leo, but I don't want to condemn the many other recurring guests, whoever they may be.
	Captain Charlie the Beagle says, Hey Nick, it's great to see you again.
	Anytime I see you, you remind me of a comedy Jason Manford.
	Of the comedian Jason Manford.
	If he was based and actually funny.
	Yeah.
	I don't remember who he is.
	Well, I referenced him in our bit.
	I don't know if he's making a cheeky reference to that.
	I forget his name.
	So I was compared many, many times to Jason Manford.
	People shouted at me on stage.
	People said it.
	We're both from the north.
	You're not fat enough.
	Well, yeah, I'm trying.
	We're both from the North and we have a similar manner.
	And he was nice to me when we got on.
	But then when he condemned me and threw me on the bus, it became strange to be compared to him because he's like my evil sort of enemy now.
	Nemesis is the word I want.
	He's your evil doppelganger.
	Yeah, I was going to say doppelganger, but then I was like, is that right?
	But that was right.
	So yeah, yeah, strange, isn't it?
	He was actually funny back in the day, man, but he's a very talented performer, just happens to be a bad person.
	You know what's horrible is, like, I used to sit at home as a kid and watch Live at the Apollo, and there'd be all these different comedians, and now, like, because we do this.
	Well, you just end up running into those comedians, and they're all cuckolds, and I'm just like, oh, you're awful.
	And then I could never go back and watch.
	It's disappointing when they actually turn up to be just nasty people who, yeah, who throw you under the bus and do everything they can to get on the woke Kool-Aid.
	Yeah, it's disgusting.
	It was also back when Live of the Apollo was good, so...
	Yes, they did destroy that show.
	Taffy Duck says, Praise Brothers!
	Callum Shah has returned from the frigid east.
	Oh, tell us, Worldly Traveler, Russia.
	Any good.
	I've got some very sad things to say, frankly, in relation to that, which is one of the things that really shocked me, because in this West, I remember...
	In this West.
	In the West, we have this weird view, or at least that, like, yeah, the sanctions are doing something, right?
	They're not.
	Nothing.
	No.
	Literally nothing.
	Putin just loving it.
	It's got his swag on.
	Well, you think.
	The people that pulled out...
	Let's take Starbucks, for example.
	If you're a franchise owner in Moscow, you're one of maybe 50 locations in Russia.
	It's not that big of a thing.
	It's only in the big cities.
	And you're running a business, you're doing it by the books, and then you pay 10%.
	That's generous.
	If it's 10%, it's probably 30% of turnover.
	Non-profit turnover.
	To Starbucks.
	And that goes to Starbucks USA, right?
	So, load of money, going out of Russia, going to America.
	They pull out, okay, new boss, he's a Russian guy, it's now called Starz Coffee.
	That 30% now stays in Russia.
	Yeah.
	Nothing's changed.
	All of the food was made either in Russia or next door.
	If you have something like coffee or whatnot, that's from India, and they're not sanctioning Russia, so nothing's changed.
	Literally, it's just the branding.
	And the gas thing is also real.
	Like, I went to a friend's house, we just turned the gas on just to look at it.
	Just waste it.
	Why not?
	It doesn't cost anything.
	I went to one guy.
	In Moscow, it's £4 a month for unlimited gas on your stove.
	Wow.
	You can just leave it on.
	It's real.
	It's not a meme.
	The houses are blowing up because they're just leaving the gas on.
	That's the thing.
	If you want to heat your house right now, people just leave it on.
	It's really funny because I remember at the Labour Party conference, some woman came on.
	I think she's a representative from Ukraine, and obviously she's lobbying.
	But she came on and said to everyone in the room, because they were discussing people freezing to death because of the cold this winter, and the pensioners not being able to pay for the bills and whatnot.
	And she said to the crowd, after this debate, do not worry about that, because although it will be cold for us this winter, it will be even colder in Russia.
	And...
	No.
	No, well, the Russians famously love it.
	It's called General Winter.
	They use it as a weapon.
	Yeah.
	Sure, but like every building in that country, every winter, they just turn the heating up to max.
	Oh yeah, plus they've got all the gas on max.
	Rip off the knob.
	Just everything's warm constantly.
	It's a general winter, and they're there in their Hawaiian shorts.
	But what's their view on the war over there?
	Are they like pro?
	I met a Russian nationalist, and the way he phrased it is that all the cucks have left.
	He's a Russian nationalist, so of course he's going to speak like that.
	That's your mates.
	Do you speak to any normal people?
	Yeah, I met varying people.
	One of the things that did also kind of shock me, I met quite a few people who were anti-Russia and anti-Putin.
	They were anti-Special Operation and whatnot.
	And you'd speak to them and I'd ask, do you have any repercussions for this?
	And they said, well, look, I'm not going to go to Red Square and hold up a blank piece of paper.
	That'll get you in trouble.
	But if you work at a car company and you talk about this and you think he's a bastard and blah, blah, blah...
	No one cares.
	You don't have social repercussions or anything, they said.
	These are just random people on their trains.
	Right, they're not grassing each other up like the Soviet Union.
	It's just normal people mouthing off in a pub or whatever.
	Putin, what a dick.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's not like Communist China, which is how people think of it.
	And that's something that I didn't realise or was unsure about.
	Anyway, talk about it all the time.
	Let's get to the anti-feminist stuff.
	So, on the anti-feminist stuff, Omar Wad says, That is one observation which I think was interesting, which is like, you know, girlfriend, really?
	Like, come on, get married.
	Yeah, those are the two main differences.
	They're calling it girlfriend, not wife, and they're not Christian or anything.
	They're just consumerists.
	Yeah, but I don't know.
	These people are very young, so maybe that's a couple of years away or something.
	Maybe.
	Depends on what Luke wants to do with his job.
	Give him another water bottle.
	Sophie Lev Peterson says, I think it's funny the idea that women not working, that has always been kind of a privilege of the rich.
	I mean, back in the day, if you were for a farm wife, did you work?
	Well, of course you did.
	You worked very hard.
	The low class women would work.
	And then for a short time, the West got rich and privileged enough that most women didn't have to work.
	And then the rich women got bored and entitled and kicked up a fuss about it, not realizing what a privilege it is.
	And now we're back here.
	Yeah, I do find it weird as well that we can't seem to comprehend the idea that it should be a choice.
	And yet, in Afghanistan, I found a dude who had nine kids.
	His wife, obviously, she would never work.
	I mean, I know it's a tribal culture and Islamic and all that, but it's just...
	How do you pay the bills, bro?
	Yeah, what's interesting, and we didn't touch on that much, was the link between the so-called pandemic, i.e.
	the lockdown, meaning that...
	We've noticed people don't want to go back to work, right?
	People are retiring early.
	People are like, I want to work from home.
	And so actually people realize they don't want to work then.
	So that will lead to probably more women going, actually, I'm just a stay-at-home girlfriend.
	It's like, you mean you don't want to go back to work after the pandemic?
	Shut up.
	That's kind of what it is.
	It's not unreasonable either.
	You go from working 40 hours a week in an office or 50 or whatever.
	I mean, some of these people were like lawyers who would work a ridiculous house.
	And then you stay at home and you're with your family and you're like, Yeah, you don't have to commute.
	You're like, oh, this is better.
	No, what's more important?
	Your random company or your family?
	Oh, yeah, well, in the clips, you didn't even have a family, but even those people are like, oh, it's actually better.
	I'm talking general, yeah.
	She's like, actually, I'd rather just hand Lucas water than hand my boss's spreadsheet.
	I love that bit Sophie also says these people would be shocked if they ever went to Mexico or any other South American countries where the tradition of women staying at home and raising children is still standing strong and they're not white they're certainly not Captain Charlie the Beagle says in other words of C.S. Lewis the homemaker has the ultimate career all other careers exist for one purpose only and that is to support the ultimate career that's an interesting way I'm looking at it And all that.
	Also, I love that feminists want women to work stupid hours in corporate jobs and to pay other women to look after and raise their children.
	But if you cut out the middle woman and raise the kids yourself, that's a bad thing.
	I mean, my mum was a child miner, so I've got some insight on that.
	It's just like, well, you know, I can see the logic.
	But sometimes...
	There would be someone where you just sort of think, why?
	You don't get paid that much?
	And then you spend money on this?
	Wow.
	Just seemed weird.
	I'm sure my mum will have some words for me after this.
	Colin P says, the story itself is rather wholesome, but it comes across as so narcissistic.
	Sophie says, well, this woman seems like kind of a diz, but she's happy, and that's good for her, and her boyfriend enjoys it too.
	Tara Toddler says, oh my god, she is an effing boring Jesus Christ, how is this content?
	That's the thing, man.
	Normie female content is, in my experience, not interesting.
	I thought it was great content.
	I enjoyed it for a little bit, but I couldn't watch that for like...
	I couldn't watch four hours.
	I clocked out at three.
	Have you ever watched Beauty Vloggers?
	Like, sincerely, for a long time?
	I had a girlfriend who would show me them, and I ended up having to watch quite a lot of them.
	That's why you know all about makeup.
	Yeah, go on.
	Worst thing!
	And I eventually ended up talking to her, just being like, look, this is actually awful.
	How do you watch this?
	And she was like, oh, I know.
	I just got used to it.
	It's weird, isn't it?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, anyway.
	We'll go to the clocks and stuff.
	Okay, yeah.
	We're running out of time.
	Um...
	Lord, never are.
	I have so many thoughts on the Clarkson debate.
	Firstly, the people who are blowing up over the media need to get a grip.
	Yes, it's not inciting violence against women, correct, or any such tripe.
	It was a comedian making a joke.
	Yeah, not a comedian, but a comic TV person.
	And this is one of the first instances I've seen of MPs engaging in cancel culture en masse.
	Yeah, they did it with Clarkson, with Jimmy Carr.
	They've done it sometimes.
	But yeah, you're right.
	I even have the spectre of legal trouble with Claudia Webb because I mentioned her conviction.
	Oh yeah, she hates that.
	And she replied from behind the block, so I couldn't see it, to take the tweet down because it was libelous.
	I declined.
	She does that with absolutely everyone.
	Clarkson's biggest mistake was apologising.
	Correct.
	I hope this isn't the end of his famous sense of humour.
	Yeah, never apologise to these scum.
	An interesting point.
	But I wouldn't worry about Claudia Webb.
	She's done that with so many people.
	She doesn't follow through.
	Free Will 2112, again, these are my favourite commentators.
	They're always on, aren't they?
	There are no Conservative MPs, just virtue-sigling empty vessels creating hot air.
	By the way, the whole institution of monarchy is positively medieval.
	Great points.
	Hang on, we're talking about a princess.
	This is positively medieval.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's a good irony.
	Very good point.
	We should go back to an absolute monarchy.
	JJHW, but not with Megan, of course.
	Clarkson may dislike Megan on a sale level, but I dislike her on a quantum level.
	Yeah, he's topped it.
	That is true.
	Is there anything above quantum?
	Because that's the one I would pick.
	No.
	No one likes Megan, and it's not because of...
	I think it is because she's white.
	Guys, come on.
	Charles Ellington.
	It's not just me, right?
	She's definitely not black.
	She's not black enough that anyone would look at her and go, we're going to hate her because she's black.
	When she came to the country, no one even thought about her race at all.
	I think a Klan member would marry her.
	He wouldn't think about...
	He totes would.
	And no one thought about that until the media kept banging on about it.
	No one thought about it at all.
	To be honest, it was her.
	Do you remember?
	Because she had an acting profile page, I don't know if you've seen it, where she described herself.
	It was like a resume for acting positions, right?
	And she calls herself white.
	And then once she got into the family, she started calling herself black.
	Interesting.
	She can pass.
	Charles Ellington, guys, come on.
	Clarkson is being dry and sarcastic, lol.
	His apology drips of sarcasm like he gives an actual F. Disagree.
	I think it's a half apology.
	I disagree because when you're attacked like that, I've been attacked on a small scale.
	Imagine being this attacked by the whole country.
	Although Clarkson does like to rile things.
	I think he generally was like, whoops, this is bad.
	They're talking about jailing me.
	You know what I mean?
	I think that's probably genuine, that he's not sure what to do personally.
	Free Will 2112 again.
	I don't really care if Jeremy Clarkson is rude about anyone, but given the climate today, he's risking losing his employment with his son and other employers.
	If the pathologically virtuous decide to exert their influence on his them to get him cancelled, I don't think his apology will make any difference.
	The pariahs have scented blood in the water.
	Piranhas, sorry, that's me.
	Absolutely, piranhas have scented blood.
	If there's anyone I'd love to interview, it would be Jeremy Clarkson, because I just kind of love him as a guy anyway, in the sense of like...
	He's very funny, yeah.
	I'm going to watch his farm more after this, or I'm going to do the equivalent of the Russian gas.
	I'm just going to leave Clarkson's farm running so that it gets to the algorithm point.
	Yeah, I think we should.
	But also, I do wonder, because he's given an interview once where he's like, why don't you just retire?
	You're a multimillionaire.
	And he's like, well, then it would be wine on the cornflakes, wouldn't it?
	What am I going to do with my life?
	But I'm thinking like, who wants to be a millionaire?
	Works for The Sun, has Clarkson's farm, and I'm just like, why not just do The Farm?
	Screw this.
	It's a hard working legend, but yeah.
	But like, who wants to be a millionaire in The Sun that much fun?
	I can't imagine.
	I know what you mean.
	He should run sort of cults at his farm.
	He should like train up young men.
	I don't know.
	I'm just thinking out loud.
	What was that going on?
	I don't know.
	I'm like, maybe he should have one job, and you're like, yeah, he should run a cult.
	I'm very tired when I come here, but I think something like a sort of fight club on Clarkson's farm.
	He's just like, you know, you learn basic weapons trade.
	I don't know, I'm just riffing here.
	I'll think more about that next time.
	Write that down for later.
	Clarkson's revolution.
	Brian Thomason from Jeremy Clarkson plays the game well.
	Say something unnecessary.
	Wait for the inevitable backlash.
	Say sorry.
	Earn in some way by being in a spotlight.
	Yeah, there might be some of that.
	He always likes a bit of outrage.
	Do you want to go on to the other ones?
	We've only got one minute and I'm worried.
	I don't want to hog him.
	Why not?
	Someone online says the Muslims and Hindus are fighting.
	I, for one, am shocked.
	Sophie says this is where one guy should say he's gay and the police department is being homophobic.
	Yeah, there's the other thing.
	Carl's made this point many times.
	Maybe you should try it.
	Maybe it'll get you back out of the naughty pen.
	Which is saying you're bi?
	Because you don't have to prove anything, do you?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, well, I've got a wife.
	I'm bi.
	No, some comedians have done that.
	One was cancelled from a festival and then he came back and said, oh, I'm bisexual.
	And he's back on.
	That actually happened?
	Yeah, I do believe that actually happened, yeah.
	So it is a legit strategy we can use?
	Oh yeah.
	Especially if you seem like you might be bi.
	It's tough for me because I'm so robustly heterosexual, but try it.
	And with that, we're out of time for the show!
	Dickdixon.substack.com If you'd like to see more of Nick, go to his, I think it was the sun column or something?
	I don't know, I wasn't paying attention.
	Yeah, check out my sun column.
	Otherwise, go to laziers.com to check out more of that, and we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
