	Music Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Years for the 1st of February 2023.
	I'm joined by Carl.
	Hello.
	And today we're going to be talking about my media narratives, the economic zone we live in, and the danger of lying eyes.
	Because the lying eyes have been telling us things again, Carl.
	Been noticing.
	So at this point your eyes probably may well be lying to you.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's a whole other conversation.
	I'm sure people have seen all the AI's voices, which...
	Send me more.
	So terrible.
	Anyway, we'll begin with...
	Oh wait, no, I think we have something to plug first, sorry.
	So I'll just plug first the new book club.
	So this is George Orwell's Animal Farm, which will be going up...
	What is this?
	Tomorrow, 3.30.
	So go and check out that.
	It'll be live then.
	Otherwise, we shall begin.
	With my media narratives.
	More media narrative.
	The narrative of I'm broke, says the journo.
	I have tried everything and I have come out terrible on the other side.
	This could be applied to anything, of course.
	Recent times.
	But specifically, we're going to talk about the thing I really don't want to talk about, which is Ukraine.
	No, no, not that.
	But instead, the Ukrainian refugees who came to the West.
	Ah, yes.
	That's lots more fun.
	And far more funny.
	Yes.
	Turns out Ukrainian refugees aren't woke.
	No.
	Also, they might have noticed what we have noticed, which is, and you'll find this around the earth, no matter where you go, what do you think of England?
	What do you imagine English people look like?
	Tell, ask foreigner.
	They're never able to accurately describe how we live.
	Not because there's English people who don't live like they're describing, but there aren't many of them.
	They don't meet any.
	No, they can't find any.
	And to prove that, well, you did the data, so I'll plug it.
	The census data proves Britain is not a nation of immigrants.
	The endless media narrative here of, aren't we a nation of immigrants?
	No, actually not, just by the data.
	I mean, I think, correctly, we can point to 1990, about there being the point of no return, where it just goes off a cliff.
	Oh, really ample up in 97.
	Labor opened the borders.
	Yeah, it's about that period.
	Anyway, getting to Ukraine, though, because there was the first Ukrainian narrative, once upon a time, before special operation and the war there.
	Four years ago.
	Yeah, four years ago, back when the media narrative from left-wing media was, there's Nazis in Ukraine, be scared about it.
	Back when they weren't our Nazis.
	Yeah, but it was always, we can't find any Nazis in the West.
	We've tried.
	And we still gin up support endlessly, as we all remember.
	There are Nazis out there somewhere.
	And then they found some in Ukraine and went, ah, look, see?
	And everyone went, where's Ukraine?
	I don't know what that is.
	Don't care.
	Anyway, if you go to the next one here, local journalist, we'll get back to her in a bit.
	This lady here, Miss Sonny...
	She talks about the fact that she was in Ukraine, apparently, and was reassured that they weren't doing Nazi salutes.
	They were just pointing in the opposite direction of the fans.
	Yeah, okay.
	Very Buurns, that, isn't it?
	Yes.
	And if we go to the second Ukrainian narrative, of course, that things changed, which was, well, race grifter said to come in here and talk about how, wait a minute, were the Ukrainians fleeing the war?
	Well, they're all white, aren't they?
	You like them for some reason, but you don't like Abdul Rahim, Kassam, and so forth, the fighting age men of Chad.
	Yeah, the women and children fleeing from an actual war, or the obvious grifters who are out on an adventure.
	Local explorers and literal criminals from Albania who are using this to infiltrate your country.
	Why don't you like them as much?
	Well, clearly it's because they're brown.
	Yeah, I mean, this is really the narrative everyone remembers.
	Mustafa really is highlighting things that maybe he should think twice about highlighting.
	They are civilized and look like us, the racist coverage of Ukraine.
	Anyway, moving to Poland, because Poland managed to be embroiled into this at the time, which is...
	Why is that the thing you notice?
	Like, they're fleeing from a goddamn war.
	Yeah, no, that's not important, is it?
	What's important is brown people.
	Thank you, Left Wing Media.
	They also went out to Poland and started reeing at them, because the Polish, you may remember, Belarus is a funny country run by a funny man.
	I do remember that they were bringing thousands of Muslims across, and the Polish was just like, new.
	Well, the funny man in Belarus, just to set the stage, decided he would import loads of Muslims.
	I can't remember his note on the top of my head now.
	That's embarrassing.
	Anyway, but he decided to import them all.
	He got them all in and went, hang on a minute, go to Europe.
	Trust me, they'll love you.
	They're so welcoming and love refugees.
	I don't think this was in any way a coincidence.
	I'm sure it was just part of, you know, like...
	War by other means?
	Yeah, 100%.
	They picked up the refugees in Minsk, put them on buses immediately off the plane with security officers riding the buses, and then drove them all to the border with Poland and went, go free.
	EU over there.
	Trust me, they'll love you.
	And the Polish went, no, we have a border.
	And enforce the border.
	So, of course, them racist, because they take Ukrainians.
	The Polish was like, we're in the EU for the grift, not for the human rights.
	Get out!
	No!
	I'm here for German Gibbs.
	And don't get me wrong, I respect Poland for doing it.
	Yeah, you respect the hustle.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You owe us 15 trillion for the Second World War.
	I thought it was 5 trillion.
	Why are you trying to rob me of 25 trillion?
	Keeps going up.
	But the Polish being right in their assessment, which is people fleeing war, refugees, people who want to break the law and just take things.
	No, not refugees.
	But they got blamed for that, even though they did nothing wrong.
	And then there was actually some racism that occurred, this time in Ukraine.
	This was on the evacuees, in which there are a load of African immigrant students.
	In Ukraine?
	Yeah, which was a weird location, but whatever, you know, it was a big place.
	And they decided to go there, and apparently they were running into problems when they were trying to flee, which is that the Ukrainian government were like, hmm, Ukrainians first.
	The women and children.
	And of course this is racism because...
	The difference between white women and children and black men is purely the skin colour.
	Nothing else.
	Do you remember that?
	I remember the guy's clipper.
	He's like, I can't fight for Ukraine.
	I'm black.
	Yeah, there was that too.
	And then there were the guys in Ireland who were totally Ukrainian, but this whole stupid nonsense.
	But then we get to the final Ukrainian narrative, because forget all that, that was the old narratives that went walkabout.
	Now we have this one, which we're not going to play that clip, because it contains a black man using his word.
	Right.
	Because if you scroll up on this, we can see, well, Ukrainians decided to arrive in Britain, and everywhere else, well, not everywhere else, in Poland they've been fine.
	The vast majority went fine.
	Well, they probably had to live with Polish people.
	Yep, but also Poland is similar.
	Yeah, neighbouring Ukraine, cultural contact.
	German hotels, not so much.
	Swedish hotels, not so much.
	And anywhere in England we sent them, not so much, as you can see here.
	Over 100,000 Ukrainians have sought refuge in the UK, but not all of them have found it easy to settle in a country where the ethnic diversity and cultural values are very different.
	Really?
	So they weren't happy living amongst the English then?
	Yeah, I mean, they've met loads of people whining about the Magna Carta and lockdowns, and went, I can't deal with this.
	Too much politeness when they're opening the doors.
	Oh, I bumped into you in the street, sorry, I apologise.
	Yeah, there's ethnic diversity, there are Celts, there are Welsh, there are Scots, there are English.
	The regional diversity of people from the South West, people from the North, Yorkshire.
	Yeah, I thought I learned English, turns out I can't understand 90% of them.
	I can understand how a Ukrainian would find that very challenging.
	Yeah, it turns out it wasn't that kind of diversity and value system.
	If you scroll down, I mean, people who recognise the meme, that's...
	I don't recognise the meme.
	Okay, well then we'll just let the people who recognise that one recognise it, because I ain't reading out.
	Okay.
	If we go to the reporter, though, because this is something to get back to.
	You may remember her from earlier.
	She's Indian.
	She's Sikh.
	Just keep this all in mind as we go forward.
	She's the one who's doing the story on this, and therefore, I believe, has no excuse to not understand...
	And I think actually...
	Possibly she's deliberately misunderstanding?
	Hmm.
	For her job safety?
	Because we'll go to the...
	Not just that either, but yeah.
	We'll go forward.
	If we go to the next link here, we'll see that she would whine about in the old days why there were black immigrants not being given first duty to leave Ukraine.
	Would he stay and fight in an African country if a war broke out while you were there?
	For all those asking why black and Asian students tried to flee Ukraine, just don't stay and fight.
	Wow.
	Anyway.
	No, that's brilliant.
	That's brilliant.
	It's like, yeah, why would I be in a black or...
	Why would I be in an African country?
	And...
	No, no, we can't go any further than that one.
	That's why I stopped.
	But if we go to the clips, because she decided to do some reporting.
	Great question though, Dash.
	And oh my god, this is the best thing I've ever seen.
	Let's enjoy clip one.
	We hadn't necessarily taken into consideration the cultural differences.
	But those cultural differences weren't often talked about when Andrea signed up to the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
	She lives in a diverse part of Birmingham.
	After a week of staying there, her guests told her there were too many Muslims in the area.
	We were quite shocked at how difficult she found different cultures.
	She felt there were just too many Muslims?
	Too many Muslims, too many people with different skin colours.
	Her guest's son was enrolled into the local school where the majority of children happened to be black and Asian.
	And then to just have her complain about the demographic of the school and going, well, he can't be safe there.
	Not enough white kids, essentially.
	The majority of my neighbours are Muslims.
	A lot of them are Kashmiris or Pakistanis, Indians, and they're wonderful people.
	And you just felt, if you just would sort of give them the time, perhaps we'd come to the same conclusion.
	They both agree to end the placement.
	I try to hold a lot of laughter at that last line there, because I love how they had that conversation and then the Ukrainian went, Nah, going back to Ukraine.
	I'm done.
	I'm done with this country.
	This is not what I signed up for.
	Some things to note.
	Let's go through that, methodically.
	So, won't you learn to love Pakistan?
	I think it's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
	Yeah, in Birmingham.
	Yes.
	You just got to know the Pakistanis who now live in Birmingham, and not the English who used to live there.
	And that's the point.
	It's not about even the black and brown faces, as she...
	We'll get onto that conversation later.
	But the idea that it's just pure race.
	It's like, no, this isn't an English area.
	That's what the Ukrainian is getting at.
	Which is like, you know, funnily enough, the history of England isn't Islamic, but Birmingham is at this point.
	But the history of Eastern Europe has often been Islamic at times.
	Eastern Europe?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay, is that a polite way of putting?
	The siege of Constantinople?
	Colonization, oppression, slavery.
	My point being, the English woman there with the very messy kitchen was showing absolutely no cultural sensitivity to a woman whose people may well have been oppressed by Muslims for a very long time.
	I don't think...
	Well, yeah, the Ukrainians were enslaved, actually.
	Yes.
	I remember...
	I still haven't found it, but I remember reading a book once that listed the price of slaves in Constantinople.
	And the Ottomans were pricing...
	They were pricing black girls as the cheapest.
	And then they were pricing...
	The Ottomans are doing it.
	They're brown, aren't they?
	They're racist Turks.
	Yeah.
	And then they priced Libyan girls as the middling.
	And then the most expensive girls on offer were Ukrainians.
	Oh, really?
	And they were charged...
	I think it was...
	You could buy one Ukrainian for four Sudanese girls.
	That was the exchange rate there.
	So yes, they actually were taken as slaves.
	My point being, lack of cultural sensitivity by the English there.
	Sure.
	There's also the lack of...
	They're just Muslims.
	What could you possibly have against them as a Ukrainian?
	There's also this confusion.
	Like, the Ukrainian is staring her down and being like, do you not understand that this place is really weird?
	Why is it loads of Muslims in England?
	You don't understand that you're living in an Islamic enclave.
	And the white Lib Dem there is just like, I don't get it, they're great.
	Yeah, they may be great.
	They may be wonderful people who make wonderful food and say bloody bloody and please and thank you.
	Okay, cool.
	But the point is, it's not English culturally because there are so many to the point that the individual is like, this isn't England, this is Birmingham.
	That's a correct statement.
	There are literally no European children in this school.
	Yeah, I also find it funny how the journa was the one who brings it up.
	I don't know if you noticed, but she was there going, cultural differences?
	The white lady.
	And then the Indian Sikh there is just like, too many Muslims.
	And she goes, yes, yes, yes.
	I'm glad you said it.
	I can't say that.
	It's literally a hate crime.
	I don't know if you picked up on it, but she just like, too many Muslims, right?
	Yeah.
	Alright, yep.
	You're the Indian lady.
	The Sikh role in life of the Raj being to dispute between the Anglos and the Muslims and the Hindus and all the rest of it, so there's that.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, let's go on to the next clip, in which someone, well, she tells us, well, shouldn't more be done to disbelieve your lying eyes?
	Could more be done to help the refugees who have settled here to integrate?
	It's a question that's been debated with each new wave of immigration over the decades.
	For people who aren't from the UK, they don't realise there's lots of people that look like me here.
	And that can be quite like, wow, you know, I thought England was full of English people.
	And it is, because I'm English, but I just look very different.
	Defining diversity.
	When this refugee support group recognized the problem, they organized this workshop for Ukrainians who settled here.
	The government told us they provide councils with ten and a half thousand pounds per refugee to help Ukrainians fully integrate.
	That funding has been halved for new arrivals.
	This workshop is a voluntary scheme, one of the very few in the country, and there's no specific funding for it.
	And that kind of keeps happening.
	If you look back at previous waves of immigration, exactly the same thing was said.
	People were like, actually, it would have been really helpful to have had a bit of guidance, to understand the city, and we just don't seem to be able to fix it.
	That is just remarkable.
	I have so many things to say on that.
	Yeah, the first one, they just need to integrate.
	What, do they need to go to the mosque with Abdul?
	Yeah, they need to integrate into England by going to the mosque.
	By going to the mosque, yeah, with the Kashmiris.
	And the Ukrainian woman's like, no, I'm a Christian.
	I know you're an atheist, but no.
	But secondly, I love the, you know, well, they come to England and they expect England to be full of English people.
	It's like, yeah, I know, right?
	Whoa, what a crazy thought that is.
	And the lady hosting it is explaining, well, okay, I'm English as well, even though I'm black.
	And it's like, yeah, okay.
	And one of the things I find amazing is she says that, well, in the previous clip, the school happened to be majority black and Asian?
	It just happened.
	There happens to be a mountain over there.
	Not going to name the name because I don't know if he wants this public, but we used to know a guy who lived in London and he had lots of kids and he was taking his first kid to a school and checking out all the different schools and he went into one classroom and there was one white kid in a class of, I think, 40 and the teacher showed them around and they were like, okay, this wasn't the same 30 years ago.
	That's a vast change.
	And then she pointed at the one white kid and said, oh, that's Lucas.
	He's from Lithuania.
	But he is white, right?
	You're all together, aren't you?
	Which was a really weird thing to do.
	Which is just like, yeah, but he's a white boy, right?
	What?
	Who speaks Lithuanian?
	Do the Lithuanians even speak Lithuanian?
	As if there's some kind of like, yeah, well look, same race, huh?
	No?
	What are you talking about, wait?
	And the question of integrate into what?
	But I love the line of, shouldn't more be done to help them integrate?
	Again, into what?
	But the fundamental question being...
	Put on this hijab.
	Yeah, because at the end, the black lady here mentions, the same thing happens every single time with every wave of immigration.
	That's really crazy.
	It's crazy.
	So if every wave of immigration you have into Britain, there are huge problems with integration, and we've had many waves of immigration and no integration, wave upon wave of not integrated groups, what happens?
	You get Birmingham, and then you get the new foreigners turning up being like, what is this?
	Where are the English?
	Yeah, what did you think was going to happen?
	Literally, this is what I was asking for.
	It's the whole reason I came here.
	I could have stayed in Poland if I wanted to just hang around people of the same race.
	I actually didn't think to become a refugee to Pakistan for some reason.
	Yeah, no, they actually wanted to come to the English culture.
	I love that we find an actual refugee, and they're racist.
	But the whole narrative being, I don't know if you've played We Happy Few, but the mechanism in that game is that everyone's high on drugs called joy to make them forget what their government essentially agreed to.
	Now, I haven't played that.
	I've seen the clips and screenshots and stuff.
	But that was...
	I was watching the faces of these Ukrainian women.
	You could see they're just like...
	They wear these fake masks with these big smiles on in the game.
	Yeah, but the Ukrainian women are just like, these people are clearly insane.
	Yeah, but I'm mentioning the mask, something we're about to show.
	Because in the game, they all take this thing called joy, and it just makes them happy.
	It makes them forget what their government has done.
	And it turns out, in that game, what they did, they sold all the kids to the Germans.
	So there's some parallels there in the grooming gangs, but never mind.
	And I just get the whole theme of this is just, have you forgotten to take in your joy?
	Just isn't this great?
	And they go to one Ukrainian who's in the struggle session who sits with her big face on.
	The Ukrainians just say, look, I'm a normal person.
	I'm not a crazy progressive.
	I don't actually think what you've done to England is good.
	This person's pleading for their space still, so let's play this one.
	...arrived here in October with her son.
	For us, it was amazing to see so much religion, so much ethnicities.
	Because I guess you're just not used to it.
	Yes, of course.
	What did you feel about the workshop today and what you learned?
	British people, it's not only white English people, it's all people here is British.
	So for us, it was very important to understand from their history.
	She looks like she's about to cry.
	I mean, she looks kind of terrified.
	It's just like, if I give the wrong answer, I'll be shot.
	Yeah, well, I never, you know, I expected to see English people.
	Of course you would.
	But then we go to Oksana.
	Oksana's not like Olga.
	Oksana's made her decision.
	She's done with this place and is not going to hold back.
	And that's what Oksana has to say about the whole thing.
	Tackling cultural integration can be trickier.
	From the best area of Kyiv where I became to the worst area of Birmingham, unfortunately.
	Oksana moved here from Kyiv last summer.
	She admits that at first, living side by side with so many different cultures made her feel afraid.
	I was very afraid because it was not usually for me.
	And some people just told me about so many dangerous stories.
	Those stories, Oksana says, included cases about Islamic terrorism.
	Lots of people here would feel very offended that you feel just because it's a mixed area, it's not safe.
	I saw statistics on the police website, police, and so I saw statistics of criminals.
	And also I read in the internet in English when I began that this is the area from terrorism.
	Oksana has now moved to a new area.
	I love everything about that interaction.
	Some people would be offended.
	Just because it's a mixed area you think is dangerous.
	No, it's not just because I think it's a mixed area.
	It's because I've got the stats.
	That's why I think it's dangerous.
	I went and looked on the police website and I was like, oh my goodness.
	There were five stabbings on my road.
	That's why I think it's dangerous.
	Not because everyone's brown.
	So what do you want exactly?
	Some people would find that offensive.
	Yeah.
	Also, your fear is offensive.
	This is what we are fed in this country constantly.
	It's disgusting.
	It's so crystallized because the Ukrainians can get away with anything because they're the golden goose of mainstream politics at the moment.
	That's just how it is.
	And they're allowed to say whatever they want, which is why they're able to just tell people the blatant truth that's staring them in the face.
	It's like, look, stop taking your joy.
	What's wrong with you?
	But also they're an old world people, right?
	They are a people.
	I am a Ukrainian.
	Ukrainians are a thing.
	And there are things that are non-Ukrainians.
	They're outside the Anglosphere, let's be honest.
	It's really just our sphere of language that's completely screwed.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And so that's why I call them an old world people.
	We're the new world people.
	And so you can see that she's just like, right, I expected England to be a people, and I've come to Megacity 1.
	Yeah, and we can literally just map it as well with Birmingham.
	One in four people are foreign-born.
	So there you go, you get that.
	Only 42% of them are even British.
	So you have that.
	Great.
	What percent of those are English?
	Doesn't say, because I couldn't get the breakdown there.
	But probably about, I don't know, I'm going to guess 40% or something like that.
	No, it's not.
	It's about 37%.
	That's nationally, you're thinking?
	No, no, no.
	This is locally to Birmingham?
	Yeah, in Birmingham, it was about 37%.
	We covered this in...
	Okay.
	I'll find the statistics.
	It's a very small percentage of English.
	Yeah, not a surprise.
	And they'll be living in their own areas as well, because that's how this works.
	It's not spread equally out over an area.
	Every single time you have had mass immigration and every politician who has dealt with this, who has now left office, have all admitted, no, everyone just forms their own gangs, as in, like, ghettos of these people live here, these people live there, these people live there.
	Trevor Phillips has done amazing work on this.
	We've been over a million times, so I won't bother.
	We'll go to the YouTube version, though, because the comments were really funny.
	The top comments are all from left-wingers who don't understand Oh, right, okay.
	Because we don't have to discuss much, we all know.
	Yeah, we all know what's going on.
	So I thought we'd enjoy looking into the world of a momentarily confused group.
	Quote, you're fleeing war and you still have time for hatred and to be racist.
	It's so weird.
	I love it, I love it.
	Right, okay, yeah.
	You're legitimately a refugee and you're a racist, so I hate you.
	Right, okay.
	Amazing.
	I would have thought that life in another country surrounded by different peoples would be more positive than having your home blown up to bits.
	No, they went back.
	Yeah, you would have thought, wouldn't you?
	You would have thought.
	Yeah.
	But it turns out no, it was actually worse.
	That was the second most liked comment.
	I'd rather the Russian invasion than this.
	Yeah, they're not wrong either.
	I mean, would you rather go and live in the worst area of Birmingham or move to even Luhansk under the Russian recommendations?
	Russia every time.
	Quote, how do you have the time to be racist when you flood a war?
	Not even about race here.
	Let's be frank.
	No.
	No.
	I mean, if they move to a largely Hong Kong area in England, I don't think they'd be bothered.
	You're fleeing for your life, being taken in and shown kindness by all people around you, but you still have time to be racist.
	Shake in my head.
	I would have replied with, if you don't like it, you can always go back to Ukraine.
	Oh!
	Oh!
	We've arrived at the racist position on immigration!
	But also, dumbass, they already did.
	I think it's over 2 million now have returned to Ukraine from Europe.
	Really?
	Loads of them have gone back because everyone thought the whole country would be invaded.
	But also, they were probably like, yeah, Europe's crazy, man.
	Everyone is going to the rest of it.
	Can't imagine why.
	There's also a bunch of pissed off journalists.
	There's the most people I saw pissed off about this piece.
	So this one, this person works for Channel 4.
	Fatima.
	If you go to the next one, we have a guy who works for Al Jazeera English.
	So, yeah, of course.
	Saif Khalid, right, yeah.
	Yeah, no Hong Kong journalist annoyed.
	Go to the next one.
	There's someone else here.
	They work for...
	Nushin Iqbal.
	The Guardian's women's editor over here.
	Yep.
	Anyway.
	We also want to check in with the local centre that held that struggle session.
	Oh, yeah.
	Just because it's revealing.
	It has pronouns.
	Just scroll down on this.
	Of course it does.
	Slightly underneath the tweet, just because they've tagged themselves, the lady here.
	Miss Poland.
	She, her.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	I saw a lot of Polish people saying, sorry for that.
	Don't worry, lads.
	We understand.
	Yeah.
	She's not Polish culture anymore.
	She's too busy integrating with the Anglosphere.
	And if we go to the next one, there's also the owner herself deciding that, because she responded to the piece, saying that reading crime statistics is racism.
	15 people attend our workshop to learn more, and none were racist!
	How do you know?
	People are open-minded and want to learn more about Britain.
	Right, that's very interesting.
	If notice, only one person in this material moves out of their area and openly presented racist views.
	This is filmed at a different time and different place.
	What I love about this is what it says about England at the moment.
	Like, I... Can't find any English people, but I'm definitely a racist.
	I just think it's really funny.
	The foreigners are fighting each other on, like, what's wrong with England?
	Oh yeah, not one single English person is involved, apart from that one woman in her kitchen who's like, I can't really say what the problem is.
	Yeah, that's the only individual, and even her position was...
	I'm not saying it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Go to the next one.
	We have other terminally ill people calling crime statistics the main reason for racism.
	That Channel 4 report about the Ukrainian refugees struggling to integrate here because there are too many black and Asian people is absolutely not surprising at all.
	No, it's not in any way surprising, is it?
	It's not surprising!
	It's not in any way surprising!
	Think about what you're writing, please.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Oh, God, they're so close to understanding.
	Yeah, and we'll end this off just with the fact that it's not just the Anglosphere, to be clear.
	Germany and Sweden, for example, have had exactly the same responses.
	Sorry, look, Kayam Alami here.
	He, him.
	Bleak.
	Especially that part where one of the interviewees mentions checking police website statistics.
	Goes to show the depth of affirmation these reactions have from the structures that enable it.
	Right, reporting the crime statistics was the problem.
	It's not that in these areas they have remarkably high crime statistics or terrorism or anything like that.
	No, no, no.
	It's that people get access to that information.
	Thank you.
	That's all we need.
	That's exactly the point.
	The purpose of collecting crime statistics is to foment racism?
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Okay, we're going to Sweden, because the news came from Sweden, which is just a while back.
	But even then, everyone in Poland was like, I'm going to go to Sweden.
	Yeah, the Ukrainian refugees who were afraid to leave their hotel rooms because of the...
	Yeah, there was another tragic story just off the top of my head.
	There were two, we covered at the time, two Ukrainian women who were alone, I believe their husbands were being conscripted.
	They'd gone to Poland, then were moved on to Berlin, and then Berlin moved them into a hotel, and in the hotel they put Mohammed and Abdul, and yeah, the women were raped.
	It just keeps happening.
	Don't know why.
	Don't know why.
	Anyway, that's that, which is my media narrative, and I'm just finding it hilarious on every narrative around race in Ukraine, because, yeah, of course we have to talk about race in Ukraine, has just died a death.
	They're white, aren't they?
	It's like, oh, wow, brilliant.
	Fellow whites, you know.
	Because he's Ukrainian.
	Yeah, he's black, you know, like another European, aren't you thrilled?
	So this actually follows on quite well from that, because it turns out that we're not a country anymore.
	We're just an economic zone.
	And that's the problem that the British army is facing, because actually it turns out that Edmund Burke was right when, in his reflections on the revolution in France, he said, look, people aren't going to fight for an economic zone.
	Like, the French Revolutionary is divided up France into basically equal areas.
	And he was like, no one has a sentimental attachment to that.
	No one's going to shed their blood over that.
	And, well, we're learning this firsthand.
	Mercenaries, well.
	Well, yeah, that's exactly it.
	Mercenaries and zealots, basically.
	Crazed communists.
	But before we begin, if you want to support us, go over to locenaries.com, sign up, watch Brokonomics episode 6, where I ask Dan questions, because I'm in no way an economics...
	I'm an expert, but Dan is.
	And so for us laymen who are just watching the series and trying to figure out what the hell he's talking about, I took viewer comments on my own and presented them to Dan and he answered them in a way that I thought was thorough.
	So it seems to actually be a very useful thing.
	And the whole series is fantastic.
	And also, we are looking to recruit a web developer.
	So if you have experience in developing websites, send us an email.
	Go over to lotuses.com slash careers and then send us an email.
	The job is from the office, so you will have to work in the office.
	But should be pretty good.
	Anyway, let's begin.
	So this has been a problem for the British military before, and we've spoken about it before, but we'll just quickly go over what the problem is.
	And it's that we just can't seem to recruit soldiers.
	Why would you?
	I don't know.
	Who doesn't want to die for Airstrip One?
	Economic Zone 17.
	The glory of Economic Zone 17, Callum.
	This was back in 2019 where it was just like for the last 10 years, every year, they were trying to get 82,000 soldiers in the British Army.
	82,000, that's it.
	And they were like, yeah, we just can't do it.
	We got 74,000.
	That's down from 76,000 the previous year, which is down from the previous year.
	The British Army is just bleeding out, basically.
	And so they started with their creative campaigns.
	Just to keep in mind as well, this isn't in respect even with the fact that we've been cutting the army for years.
	No.
	No, no.
	I'm saying we've been cutting the number of people to save money, and we can't even reach these now lower goals than ever.
	That's correct, yeah.
	That is exactly correct.
	And so the British army was like, right, we're going to have a clever strategy, you see.
	We're going to be like, hey, snowflakes, why don't you come and join the army?
	It was the dumbest campaign ever.
	And if you go to the next one, John, you can see, like, this...
	If you can scroll down and just see...
	I mean, like...
	This was a real waste of money?
	Yeah.
	What are you doing?
	Do you remember the Robinson scandal with the army?
	Yes.
	Soldier X. So there were some guys who took a picture with the bad man, and then the army tried to lecture its soldiers on why you can't do that, because that man fights against freedom.
	There was a leaked video of it.
	And then just all parts of the army, just in open rebellion, started taking pictures with them.
	Really?
	Just like, go to hell.
	Good.
	But you've got to think, that kind of management structure.
	Like, what are you looking for exactly?
	Yeah.
	That's a great question.
	We'll get into that in a minute, in fact.
	But this was part of the army's This Is Belonging campaign, which was trying to aim at young people who felt undervalued in their jobs and was aiming to, quote, look beyond the stereotypes and say, but that's a bunch of stereotypes you've used.
	Selfie addicts, phone zombies and snowflakes, but anyway.
	That's a weird admission.
	Anyway, so going on to the Army's recruitment videos, which we'll just play in the background if possible.
	This is an interesting angle at trying to recruit people into the Army, because you can see that the tagline here is Army confidence lasts a lifetime, which I'm sure it does.
	But what are we appealing to there?
	Right?
	What is being asked of you?
	You, the snowflake, why don't you come and join the army?
	Why?
	Well, you get confidence that will last a lifetime.
	Okay.
	Lots of diversity in the adverts, obviously.
	Yeah, needlessly.
	Yeah, but is that really why people fight for their country?
	You know what?
	I need to join the army.
	Why?
	Because I'm feeling slightly underconfident.
	That's not the reason.
	It's never an internal reason that people join the army and fight for the country.
	People join and fight for the country for a moral reason.
	For a greater reason.
	For the glory of Economic Zone 17.
	Well, you've got me.
	You see where I'm going.
	You see exactly where I'm going.
	And so if you go to the next video, this is another one.
	This one here was a 2021 one where it was, you know...
	Which one's this?
	This was one of the ones from 2021, which you can see it's a remarkable amount of diversity.
	Again?
	Yeah, the army has its standards, as in, like, we actually have quotas for how many black people should be there, because, you know, if you have a certain number of black people, you can kill the enemy better or something?
	No, it's all just...
	No, no, no.
	Again, woke is garbage.
	No, no.
	What they're trying to do is being like, right, okay, well, we've got 15 million foreigners living here.
	Surely they should do something for the defense of the realm.
	Why don't we try and incorporate them into the propaganda we make in order to try and inspire them to join?
	But it's like, but you can't because they don't really care.
	But it's also just a mind-numbingly painful advertising theory.
	Yes.
	It's like, look, black guy, you're black, yeah, in the army, huh?
	What?
	Fight and die in one of Britain's crazed wars overseas?
	No, not really.
	But just the idea that you're like, well, you know, the army, that's a white man's game.
	Fighting.
	No one thinks of war in racial turn.
	It's that...
	It's not racial terms, it's national terms, right?
	So, this is the...
	No, I'm saying the army strategy is in racial terms.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I mean, yes.
	But the problem is, like, when you're trying to recruit someone to an army, they have to be fighting for a cause that's beyond themselves, and it has to be something that they believed in, which is why more British Muslims joined ISIS than the British army.
	They don't believe in Britain.
	They don't believe in Silent.
	They don't believe in these things.
	They're here as economic, my They're mercenaries.
	And so they're not going to fight for you.
	Why did the immigrants since 1997 come here?
	For money.
	That's it.
	There's no imperial glory about it.
	There's going to be a small slice of them that did come because of a love of Britain.
	And okay, great.
	Yeah, but this isn't even like the Windrush generation where they were asked to come by Enoch Powell.
	But also, I don't think Enoch Powell asked this guy.
	Yeah, he did.
	He was the Minister of Immigration.
	I didn't know that.
	Yeah, that's the irony of the whole thing.
	Because he went to the West Indies and said, we need you, come here.
	And they went, hang on a minute.
	There's too many.
	Right.
	Like, we're going to end up with enclaves.
	But the point is, like, you know, we know the...
	It's like the Muslim guy who's a member of the EDL, who's actually, well, you've got to stand up for your country and stuff like that.
	It's like, yeah, okay, he's in, you know?
	But the rest of them aren't.
	That's the problem.
	You get people who join the tribe, and then you get just mercenaries.
	Yeah.
	Or freeloaders, I guess we'd call them.
	Like, the I-can't-fight-for-Ukraine-I'm-black type.
	I'm not going to die for your country.
	I'm just here to make some money.
	And that woman from the previous segment was right.
	I'm not going to die for some African country if I'm out there working.
	No, I agree.
	I'm not going to do that.
	Because it doesn't stir my heart.
	It's not something I believe in, something that's greater than myself.
	I was just here to make some money, as the Ukrainians were, the black people in Ukraine, as these people.
	Okay, fine.
	This is just the way of the world, right?
	Okay, but that speaks volumes to what we are allowing to happen to the countries that we should be at least respecting as something more than ourselves.
	They're not just economic zones, or at least they weren't just economic zones.
	Anyway, so moving on on this, the recruitment process has been outsourced.
	So it's not even the British Army recruiting on their own terms now.
	And they just have a huge number of people dropping out.
	They just don't bother.
	The process is overseen by a private contractor called Capita.
	It takes five months.
	And so this is one of the reasons why they just keep failing.
	Ex-Labour Defence Minister Kevin Jones blames the mess on the Ministry of Defence outsourcing this recruitment.
	Guess how much this costs?
	Hundreds of millions.
	1.3 billion.
	That's a lot more than I thought it would cost.
	That's a lot more than you thought.
	About 25 minutes of energy spending.
	That probably is about 25 minutes of energy spending.
	Actually, I was just joking.
	But he said, it takes so long to go through that people just give up.
	This disastrous contract needs to be ended in capital sacks.
	Well, he's not wrong.
	I hate to say that the Labour Party person is not wrong.
	Everything.
	But, yes, this appears to be some sort of grift.
	It's an active barrier to getting people in.
	So, like, the Ministry of Defence figures for 2014-2015 show that out of the, like, 140-odd thousand people that applied, 79,000 dropped out.
	And then only 77,000 actually joined.
	So, like, that's an attrition rate that is staggering.
	That's like, you know, a week on the Somme.
	Start an attrition rate there, right?
	That's a good question.
	Did we lose more men in the Battle of Waterloo or the last year of recruitment?
	Or through Capita's £1.3 billion partnership.
	They've never heard any good things about Capita, the company.
	Always they've messed up.
	Yeah, but I mean, they get government money, so of course...
	The National Audit Office found that 47% of these people just voluntarily left because of laziness, failing standards, stuff like this.
	But the thing is, we did get some bizarre accounts of why some people can't join.
	There's a letter I found in The Independent in 2017 that this woman's son was refused from joining the Royal Navy because he couldn't blink, couldn't wink with his left eye, and so was banned from joining the Navy.
	I can't think it's funny.
	I mean, it is, yeah.
	You've got high standards.
	Can't wink?
	Leave.
	But anyway, so in 2022, the British Army was 73,000 troops.
	No, no, sorry, 76,000 troops.
	It's going to be reduced to 73,000 by 2025, which, as the Daily Mail pointed out, is the smallest size since the Napoleonic era.
	Tiny, tiny army.
	And we've been trying to plug the gaps with foreigners.
	As Metro reports, entry requirements change in 2018, making it easy if Commonwealth citizens sign up.
	It's like, okay, why would you?
	How many do you think signed up?
	From Fiji?
	Yeah.
	I don't know, in the 10s?
	No, no, it's 620.
	Over a year?
	Okay.
	Because I'm thinking like, yeah, okay.
	230 from Ghana.
	It's great to get the Gurkhas and whatnot, but...
	There's a relationship there.
	We're talking about the whole army not being there?
	And so we end up with an interview on LBC with a chap who was unable to understand what life is like in LBC. The Economic Zone 17.
	He doesn't understand why the Armed Forces are so small, and he really thinks that we should do something about this.
	I agree with him.
	Let's watch.
	How bad is it?
	I think we remain...
	We still have some really excellent people in the Armed Forces.
	We have some marvellous tradition and history, of course, but we also have a very good fighting capability.
	Unfortunately, we have shrunk the Armed Forces so much that our fighting capability is very limited.
	Now...
	You don't want to indulge nostalgia, but when I was in the army in the 1980s, we had, I think, 55,000 soldiers in Germany alone with innumerable 900 tanks, something like that.
	We've now got a paltry number of tanks.
	And by the way, tanks are, to a certain extent, an old fashioned weapon.
	But ask the Ukrainians if you need them, because they're desperate for them.
	We have shrunk everything.
	We must reverse this and start spending a lot more money on defense.
	And it's all very well saying, oh, well, it's difficult finding money.
	Of course, it's difficult finding money, but you have to make a priority.
	And if you go back 50 years or to when I was born, for goodness sake, the amount of money we spent on defense was hugely greater than that we spent on benefits, on the health service, on whatever you like to say.
	And in the long term, We need to defend our country and defend our interests.
	It's not just the country, of course.
	It's our interests abroad before we start spending money on, for instance, five and a half million people on out-of-work benefits, working-age people on out-of-work benefits.
	We need to be quite ruthless and say defense matters much more than anything else.
	Sounds like he's speaking from a different era.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I lived in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s.
	I know that we had massive numbers of people out there.
	Do I still live on those military camps?
	Because I'm a forces brat.
	He's not wrong at all that we have tens of thousands, an army stationed in Germany, but we don't even have an army now.
	Like, 73,000 is almost nothing.
	Like, we're not going to survive in any great, like, long engagement or anything like that.
	But that's the problem, though, isn't it?
	He's like, I don't want to get nostalgic, but it's like, yeah, but you kind of have to fall back on nostalgia because it just doesn't represent Britain of now.
	Like, who's fighting for Economic Zone 17?
	I'm not going to do it.
	The last thing I'm going to do.
	You're absolutely right on the money as well.
	We've seen the graphs.
	I mean, you can argue since World War I, but really just at any point in the modern era, you just have the fact that we used to spend the majority of the budget on the defence, and now we just don't.
	We spend nothing on the defence.
	But we had a great empire.
	The majority of our budget goes on.
	What about the Holy NHS? Or people not working?
	But look at the recruitment posters for World War I. This is just great.
	Step into your place.
	As in, you have a duty.
	This isn't about you.
	This is about your duty to something bigger than yourself.
	But also, when you thought of the government, like, this was basically it.
	Yeah.
	Like, the major thing the government did was defend the place.
	Yep.
	By hiring soldiers.
	Yes.
	No, but look, join your country's army from Kitchener there.
	We don't have a country.
	I'm not joining the mercenary army of Economic Zone 17.
	This is built on moral sentiments.
	This is built about how I feel about this country, how the country is being stewarded by the government, and whose interests are being taken care of.
	And we live in a minoritarian economic zone.
	It's not my interest.
	It's not my children's interest.
	There's no way I would fight for this government.
	I'd be like, God, thank God.
	Someone's going to overthrow them.
	Maybe we can get a government that would actually care about this country for five minutes.
	Of all people, Andrew Tate actually spoke about this before.
	He spoke about, like, why would you ever join the army?
	And it's like, will you only ever go and fight for something that's in your interest?
	Like, if you win, what do you get out of it?
	And if what you get out of it is your town safe, the people not dead, like, yeah, Ukrainian, you're going to go fight in the Ukrainian military.
	Yeah, it's totally reasonable.
	Dossier to quorum est pro patria mori.
	Yeah.
	I totally agree for the Ukrainians because we were allowed to wave Ukrainian flags.
	You know, our politicians all put Ukrainian flags all over their bios and they'll be like, yeah, we've got to send military, Slavia, Ukraine.
	What about England?
	What about Britain?
	The Ukrainians come over and they're like, where are the English?
	Yeah, but if there's, I don't know, some kind of war and they come to England, they'll be like, well, what happens if we win?
	We go back to the Monetarian Empire in which you have nothing.
	Yeah.
	Why would I fight for that?
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	I mean, I'm sitting there with the banner going, I hope we lose.
	Yeah, exactly.
	If we win, we get another million new refugees from every corner of the globe coming in again.
	And I have to pay for the NHS they need.
	I have to pay for the hotels, the social housing.
	I have to pay for that.
	I don't want that.
	Why the hell would I? And so they can't appeal to duty because I don't feel a sense of duty to the current global order that is currently occupying Economic Province 17.
	You know, look at this, right?
	This is, you know, propaganda from the Allies, obviously.
	I mean, look, do you want them to turn into New Germany?
	Your country could become a foreign place in which every city is completely foreign to you.
	Exactly.
	It's a bit bloody late for that.
	Well, I fight to stop that from happening.
	Oh, wait, it's happened.
	Exactly.
	So what am I... Again, if I win...
	The same thing happens, like, who cares?
	Go for the next one, John.
	I mean, just imagine, imagine seeing a poster like this today.
	Your king and country need you to maintain the honour and glory of the British Shamboy.
	What glory?
	What empire?
	Exactly.
	It's like, to maintain the honour and glory of Britain?
	Like, there is no such thing, and the politicians know there's no such thing.
	Financial racket where we just get robbed to house foreigners.
	Exactly.
	It's just, it's so crazy.
	It's like, okay, and thinking about tomorrow, I'm like, okay, yeah, we won't do that, but we are going to transition to children, you know?
	It's like, it's such a totally different world.
	There is no honour and glory in Economic Province 17.
	If you get to the next one, you see again, it's about duty, right?
	Lord Kitchener says, men, materials, and money are immediate necessities.
	Does the call of duty find no response in you until reinforced?
	Let us rather say superseded by the call of compulsion in this today.
	What call of duty?
	What possible call to duty could I have for the way this country has been run for the last at least 25 years?
	What call of duty could you have?
	Well, you have a duty to foreigners.
	No, I don't.
	That's the point.
	Screw those people.
	I don't want them.
	There is no country anymore to appeal to for duty.
	And this was...
	I was walking to work today.
	I know it's one of the people who live in the hotel over there.
	One of the migrants who's come over here illegally.
	Got his BMW. Was he Albanian?
	I don't know.
	I look over here.
	I look at the guy at the BMW. I'm like, I'm paying for this.
	Why?
	Why?
	Don't you want to fight so he can have his BMW, Carl?
	I mean, I don't want the Germans invading and taking it from him.
	That would be awful.
	Yeah.
	You'd be worse off if he didn't have a BMW. Exactly.
	What if Putin takes his BMW? Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	This is a French meme.
	Can you get that meme up?
	Do you speak French, Callum?
	Nope, don't need to.
	Right, let's see if we can work out what the French meme is telling us.
	This guy...
	Le contrat social.
	I wonder what that means.
	He's 30 years old, and he just gets completely robbed.
	And his money either goes to Africa, or to import Karim over here, to replace...
	Or it goes to the boomers, who are currently living on the top of a dying civilization.
	Costa Concordia Cruises over there.
	Yeah, I mean, just...
	You don't need to be able to speak French to understand why Nicholas there isn't happy with le contract social.
	So half of his wage gets taken and the money gets given to foreigners and the boomers.
	And the boomers are happy with this because they're getting free money.
	The foreigners are happy with us, they're getting free money.
	Nicholas, as a result, has no culture, no civilization to even find honor or glory in.
	And also has no money.
	So not only can he not buy a house, and as a result of not buying a house, he can't open a business either because he's got no startup capital.
	But the future is bright.
	Nicholas is understandably a bit despondent about these things.
	Anyway, so just to be clear, okay, let's talk about Britain then.
	Well, what would you be fighting for?
	What, open borders?
	A million new immigrants a year, legally?
	Yeah, that dude's BMW, I don't know.
	But no, no, they're...
	Legal immigrants, right?
	These are the legal ones.
	In fact, let's go to the next one.
	Borders wide open, no end in sight.
	The Home Office has taken back responsibility for overseeing operations to tackle small boats carrying migrants across the channel.
	So we've got the million legal immigrants who are just allowed in, and then we've got the 40 or 50,000 who come in, who break in, and the Home Office is like, yeah, well, the Royal knavery was in charge of stopping that, but they didn't stop it.
	So we're going to take it.
	What are you going to do?
	Nothing's going to happen.
	I don't care.
	We don't have a country.
	We have just a zone that people move into because there is some money left here.
	Although, if you look at the comparison, say, Ireland, is there any money left here?
	I don't know if you have it, actually, but there was a TikTok recently from some conservative in London woman who was interviewing all her friends in London who are Tories.
	And it's like, why are you conservative?
	And you look the whole thing and you just go, immigrant capitalist is all I'm seeing.
	Yeah, none of them were English.
	I did see that.
	So yeah, 40,000 people broke in.
	Don't know why.
	Don't know why they just get plain like every other bloody immigrant.
	But the cost of this, of course, 1.3 billion a year to house channel migrants in hotels.
	We go to the next month, according to one analysis, 1.3 billion.
	That's a huge amount of money.
	Yeah.
	We could have given that to Capita.
	Unbelievable.
	Do you know how much it costs per immigrant per month?
	4,300.
	Per month.
	You make 4,300 per month, Callum.
	How many people in England make that?
	Not many.
	That's top one.
	Then how many English make it, which is a whole other conversation.
	There's no one in London.
	Exactly.
	And of course, the problem with bringing millions of people in and then paying for them to live here is that we run out of houses.
	So what's the solution, Julia Hartley?
	I just put my house.
	I've got to pay for that, Julia.
	Yeah, but where will the immigrant capitalists live?
	I don't know.
	Zimbabwe?
	They could try.
	I wish they would.
	But I'm just so sick of this.
	Because it's like, right, so you're going to have to pay for this.
	Because there'll be social housing that she's asking for.
	You've seen the video of the Arabic woman who's just like, I was forced to live in a shipping container.
	This is awful.
	She's like Somali.
	Yeah.
	With three kids.
	Yeah.
	Like, came to England and was like, why have I only got a shipping container?
	Where's my mansion?
	Fine for this.
	Go live on the streets, then.
	What's your duty to Economic Zone 17?
	They'll fight those Russians, Callum.
	Need more men in the army, Callum.
	If the Russians take over Britain, you know what will happen?
	He won't have a BMW and she won't have a shipping container.
	Yeah, she'll have to live in worse than a shipping container.
	And of course, we're going to celebrate diversity.
	We talked about this the day with King Charles being like, yeah, I'm going to put refugees and diversity at the centre of the coronation.
	It's like, whatever.
	What's the result?
	Of course, London being a war zone is one of the results.
	This is just from 2021, in fact, but it's just, you know, the Londoners, the diversity, are being like, yeah, it's like a war zone here.
	I don't know what's going on.
	I don't know, but I'm not fighting for your war zone.
	I'm not fighting to defend this violent gangland feud.
	I'm not fighting for that.
	Well, the Albanians need you, Carl.
	Sure they do.
	Where else are they going to deal with that?
	How else are they going to deal with the Somali gangs and the bloody Caribbean gangs?
	My problem, isn't it?
	You had a particularly good stabbing map here.
	Excellent.
	We'll give you the next one, John.
	Weird.
	Coincidences.
	Yeah.
	For anyone watching, that's the map of the diverse areas of London, and they're a map of the remaining English areas.
	The areas in green are at least 50% English still, which is a low bar, but whatever.
	That's the only part.
	It is London, so...
	Yeah, and there is, I think, one, two hotspots there of recent stabbings of teenagers, whereas every other circle is not in those areas.
	Yeah.
	Coincidence.
	Anyway, let's just pay for the NHS, bro.
	The only stats I could find about health tourism on the NHS was from 2015.
	Couldn't find any more recent ones.
	Isn't that weird?
	I mean, they probably are out there.
	If anyone can find them, do send them across.
	But how much do you think it costs?
	Wow, they're working.
	Who cares?
	$1.8 billion a year.
	Normal use of the NHS? And this is in 2015, so this is when we only get 500,000 immigrants.
	When we get a million immigrants in, foreign visitors end up being treated in England as estimated to cost 1.8 billion a year.
	That's us.
	We're paying for that.
	Because it's free at the point of use.
	On top of the 1.3 for the hotels.
	Yep.
	I just can't take it.
	And then you've got rich politicians arguing about what a woman is.
	Am I fighting for that?
	Oh, violent trans criminals are actually women, says Nicola Sturgeon, but only provisionally in certain circumstances.
	It literally is, this is our new flag.
	Great, it's the trans pride flag.
	Yeah, I hope we lose.
	Because the thing is, Eastern Europe has its problems, and the people I've met from there will talk about the stupid or corrupt things that the government does.
	But it's never as demoralizing as ours.
	It's always, well, they're kind of dumb, but...
	Is this just predictably corrupt?
	There was a guy I met who was in the Yugoslav army back when it was about to collapse, and we bombed them from NATO. And just before we bombed them, everyone hated the dear leader, and then when we bombed them, everyone rallied around him.
	But they were like, yeah, he's a corrupt asshole and may have done some genocides.
	But he's our guy!
	Yeah, he's our corrupt asshole.
	But there's none of that here.
	But anyway, let's just quickly move on to...
	Okay, maybe culturally?
	Are we saving anything culturally?
	Do you know who Sam Smith is?
	I don't want to.
	Of course you know who Sam Smith is.
	I've seen the video.
	He's an English singer-songwriter.
	You've seen the video.
	If you just go get the picture up, it's just...
	Yeah, just get one of the images up just so people can see that one.
	Yeah, so we've got a fat Englishman dressed like this, doing a dance where, like, water spraying his face.
	It's like...
	I saw some people saying, oh, it's just sexualisation as well.
	It's like, it's not...
	But the only reason you'd oppose this is bigotry and fatphobia, obviously.
	And it's like, yeah, maybe.
	One of the reasons.
	Yeah, I've got many reasons, actually.
	But sure, you can add those to the cartload of reasons.
	You don't care about explicit music videos.
	You just can't stand seeing fat queer people living their truth.
	This is my true self.
	Go home.
	This is my truth.
	How about this?
	Yeah, yeah.
	But anyway, Richard madly misgendered him.
	You want to die for this, Callum?
	What's your duty?
	Pro-patria mori, Callum.
	Richard madly apologised.
	I mean, this is just embarrassing.
	He called Sam Smith a he.
	Because he's got cock.
	Yeah, and the woman, Susanna Reid, was like, remember, Sam Smith uses the pronouns they, and Richard's like, yes, they, sorry.
	Alright, and go sleep with him.
	You're straight.
	Anyway, but of course, you've got to keep paying your taxes until the line goes up.
	Because that's the most important thing.
	Line, go up.
	Look at that chart.
	Look at that chart.
	Can you get that chart?
	Look where Britain is.
	Oh, the line is not going up.
	We're at the very bottom, just below Russia.
	Russia's only...
	We're only doing worse than Russia because Russia's in an active war and being sanctioned by half the world.
	The line's not going up.
	It's amazing, even with all the advantages we have in diversity.
	I know.
	We just can't beat Saudi Arabia.
	Can't even beat Brazil.
	It can't beat Italy.
	If we're being outperformed by Italy.
	Argentina, Spain...
	Korea?
	I'd expect the Koreans to be kicking our asses, but come on.
	Why is that?
	They don't have any diversity.
	They've got a real blowback there.
	Yeah, I know.
	You'd think they'd be really lagging behind.
	But anyway, yeah.
	So the line's not going up.
	Your duty to Economic Zone 17 is to make that line go up.
	Pay your taxes.
	Anyway, we'll leave it there because I'm just annoyed.
	But...
	Yeah.
	No.
	We don't have a country anymore.
	We have an economic zone.
	And that's why people won't fight for it.
	And there's no reason that you should fight for it.
	Screw this country.
	I've said before, I've spoken to some people who did serve in the army.
	They all had the same opinion.
	No, I bet you should.
	I wouldn't do it now.
	No, of course not.
	Why would you?
	What would be in it?
	Speaking of which.
	Your lying eyes.
	They are a very, very dangerous thing.
	I think we've all learned this, this channel, for some time, which is if you see things too much, well, you're all the problem.
	It might be correct, but it's not politically correct.
	Yeah, and we're going to go through some things that are definitely dangerous for you to see.
	We'll start off with the politics and philosophy of They Live the Movie, of course, because, again, the parallels are apt.
	This is incredible, isn't it?
	I really enjoyed doing this podcast, and I think we did a The more time goes on, the more vindicated we are.
	Yeah, and do go check it out.
	Otherwise, we shall begin with the thing that perked my interest into writing this, which, as I'm sure many people noticed, there was some skating thing.
	Who cares?
	Who watches skating?
	I'm not a gay man.
	And so this individual here was opening the session.
	There was a person from Finland.
	Person.
	Because they're the world's first transgender national figure skater.
	And as Posobiac notes, they fall down in the first 45 seconds.
	There we are.
	No one's allowed to act like anything happened.
	Has this person ever ice skated before?
	Because they look like they haven't.
	They once did it, dressed as a geisha to Japanese music, which was as cringe and weeby as you think.
	Can't even get back up.
	Yeah, the Finnish actual skater over here has to come over and be like, there you are, have the flag, bugger off.
	And even then, they struggled to get off the ice because it was a complete mess.
	How is it you can be nationally representing Finland as a figure skater and appear to have never been on ice skates before?
	Well, because you're transgender, so just...
	Exactly.
	...have the job.
	Exactly.
	It's such an obvious tangent.
	You just get it, it doesn't matter.
	And the point being, from Posobiec, quite rightly, no one is allowed to act like anything happened at all, and the worst part is that nobody in the room is allowed to obviously point out that it's also not a woman.
	Bruv, you fucking suck!
	You suck!
	The whole crowd, but no.
	It's even more embarrassing from the ladies here who have spent their whole professional lives moulding their bodies as well.
	And look at the grace with which these women are, like...
	Yeah, they glide.
	Gliding around this man in drag.
	Or the terminology you used to describe with professional ice skater is thrown out the window with an oaf over here.
	Yeah, there's an oaf in makeup here who's going to fall over and you have to pretend like he's doing something more important than you.
	Oh, what a humiliation.
	Yeah.
	If we go forward, because the London police force have been insisting in a similar vein of Don't Believe the Lying Eyes that they must represent the community.
	Oh, yeah.
	And of course they must represent the community, as this left image here says.
	And 40% of London is foreign.
	So what community is that?
	Policing vision for 2025.
	Someone's had a vision for...
	Like they're a shaman or something.
	Go back, please, so I can read it.
	Which is just that their vision was, well, what is it?
	They need to represent the community.
	We welcome people of all backgrounds, regardless of age, gender, race, faith, sexual orientation, and parental relationship status.
	The thing is, that can't be true, because if you're trying to expand on one front, let's say you're trying to expand the number of white people in your organization, you're going to have to suppress the number of people with non-white skin, and vice versa.
	Of course, it's the vice versa, that's always the thing that's allowed.
	Yeah, that's never happened.
	That was a weird example to use, because that's the one example that's just never going to happen.
	I made it for that reason, which is that you know that's not what's happening.
	So, that doesn't make any sense.
	And they say, that's because the more our police officers represent the communities we serve, the more we understand their needs and concerns.
	The concern is that there are a gang of...
	Youths outside stabbing people.
	I mean, if your community is somewhat, unless they're just, you know, 5% made up of criminals, well, then 5% of the police force has got to be criminals, or we're not sufficiently serving the community by policing them.
	What I love about this is the idea that this Pakistani officer goes to this black neighbourhood, and she's like, yeah, I represent you.
	And she's like, oh, good, because I've got needs and concerns.
	They're great, because we've both got non-white skin, therefore I understand your concerns.
	And she's like, yeah, I'm concerned about these youths stabbing each other.
	He's like, actually, we're not the same colour.
	I don't understand your concerns.
	For some reason, it's the difference in our skin tone.
	It means I can't understand why you'd be concerned about that.
	Come on!
	The funny in this is if you're the next one, and I hired a bunch of illiterates, which is a whole other conversation.
	I mean, that is funny.
	I'll give you that.
	But the more friggin' wild thing for me is that this is the English police.
	We used to represent the community, can I? Yeah, we hired a bunch of illiterate diversity hires, because that's what the community's made up of in London now.
	Cool.
	Anyway, so...
	But the more fundamental thing for me is, like, do you remember that book we read about, I think it was the last century horrors of communism and fascism?
	Oh, Reflections on a Ravage Century.
	Yeah, and one of the lines was that we ruled all of, I think it's Zimbabwe, Rhodesia, the northern provinces, with, like, 50 guys with rubber truncheons, no guns.
	Yeah.
	Didn't represent the communities at all.
	0% representation, the most law and order you could ever ask for.
	But no, if you represent the community, you'll have more...
	The English police, of all people, have forgotten so much of what we've done to the point that you come to the maddening assertion that we can bring law and order by looking like them instead of policing effectively.
	I mean, there is not an ethnic group on Earth that managed to police such large areas so effectively by not looking like them.
	For what?
	But also, having such a wonderful reputation.
	Because, I mean, there's one good thing that people have always historically said about England.
	It's the quality of the police.
	Yeah.
	In heaven, the police force is English, not German.
	Yeah.
	You know, of course, the cooks aren't English.
	I just can't...
	We were literally the best at this.
	Yeah.
	We invented this.
	And none of it was to do with looking like them.
	And you were like, you know what?
	I learned from that.
	Robert Peel actually had nine principles that he used.
	And a principle, this is going to be a shock to any progressives watching, is actually not dependent on skin colour.
	No, instead it was dealing with the crime.
	Anyway, move to ask why.
	Why do they do this?
	Well, we have HMI Matt Parr over here in the Telegraph who said that whilst it was entirely noble and right that Scotland Yard was aiming to be more representative of the community of police, it's not, we'll get back to that, he said it should not be the extent of the standards.
	What standards, my friend?
	The standards.
	Couldn't be given up.
	However, in 2021, Dame Cressida Dick, the then police commissioner, declared it was the force's aspiration to recruit 40% of its officers from black and ethnic minority communities by 2023.
	Cressida Dick's like, ah, it's our aspiration to reduce the standards.
	It was currently 17%.
	Right.
	Well, I think it is 17%, sorry.
	So we failed on that target by, I mean, over 100% failure.
	It's actually remarkable that London can literally be 67% or 63% non-English, and they can't get any police from these communities.
	That's amazing, really.
	It's genuinely amazing.
	They just...
	So 17% of London police are from ethnic minority backgrounds.
	Mm-hmm.
	37% of Londoners are English.
	Mm-hmm.
	So Dame Cressida was like, well, it should at least be 40%.
	But this just so shows the point I'm making is that the foreigners who live in London now, like, yes, I'm living in Economic Zone 17.
	Yeah, I live in London.
	I'm not...
	Yeah, I'm not going to, you know, do a community-focused job.
	Mr.
	Parr over here, however, he told the Telegraph, we completely support the idea that London, which will always, sorry, will likely be a minority white city in the next decade or so, should not be policed by an overwhelmingly white police force.
	Why?
	No, sorry, no, no, there will likely be minority white, not because 20% or so of London is European, right?
	Yeah, but the point being that he makes the, well, it shouldn't be policed by white people.
	Why would a Frenchman join the British police?
	The Mr.
	Standards over here is still playing the race game somehow.
	That's how infected our population is.
	Even the people who are like, something's wrong, can't figure out why it's wrong.
	Ukrainian comes to England and the only person who says that they're English is a Caribbean woman.
	It's like, what the hell is going on?
	I mean, if a foreigner comes to England, they expect English police, they expect English politicians.
	Not German.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They expect to see English people running England.
	That's clearly wrong, he says.
	It's not just wrong from a legitimacy point of view.
	You only have legitimacy if you're the same colour as the people you're arresting.
	English people being in the English police, that's illegitimate.
	No, but again, he's only thinking in terms of race.
	We've not even got to the English content.
	He's that, like, poisoned in the brain.
	Yeah.
	And from an appearance point of view, it also operationally wrong, because it means that the Met does not gain insight into some communities it polices, and that has caused problems in the past.
	Now, that's a fair comment.
	That's a fair point.
	No, I don't think it is.
	You don't think so?
	Because this assumption there, again, is on the purpose of race.
	It's like, if we don't have black people, we won't know how to police black people.
	Well, no, no, no.
	It's like, no, bruv, let's not.
	No, no, no.
	What they're saying is that there are going to be internal issues within the community that are based on alien cultural dynamics and understanding...
	Female chance of mutilation.
	Exactly.
	Understanding those dynamics will help you understand how to prevent it, which I think is actually a fair comment, right?
	No.
	And so some amount of representation...
	English in India did not have to be Indian to say that burning your wife was wrong.
	No, but what I'm saying is like you...
	I'm not saying that.
	To be able to effectively do it, because if you have no links with the culture, you can see how they would treat you as outsiders and just...
	The culture itself, like, you know, like, that Sasha Johnson woman who got shot.
	Don't buy it.
	Harder policing is what you need there.
	Oh, I'm totally in favour of harder policing.
	So the Singaporeans are right on this.
	So you can have a foreign community, and sure, they'll have their own weird foreign ways you won't understand, in which case you start bucking down doors.
	Okay.
	Something's going to be solved.
	You go and do it.
	Yeah, no, I'm totally fine with that.
	But, like, I can see from an efficacy perspective why he's saying this.
	Because I think there is some merit to it, but that doesn't mean that half the police force needs to come from that community.
	No, that's also the case.
	However, if we move forward, there's also the whole...
	We did feature it earlier, but I'll just show the map again for the fact that that haunts me.
	No, it's just...
	I didn't know whether or not to put that out, then I thought about it a bunch and I just thought, no.
	Yeah, people need to see that.
	For people who haven't been familiar with the map.
	You get what you tolerate.
	There you are.
	English map of London.
	All the stabbings not in the English show.
	It's weird.
	Weird coincidences.
	Yeah.
	Until now, the English community have not had to deal with mass stabbings, but now...
	Yes, we do.
	No, no, actually we don't.
	The English community is still not dealing with mass stabbings.
	Oh, no, yes we do.
	Yes, we do.
	Yeah, go on.
	Even those who try to flee will catch up for you.
	This story.
	I don't know if you saw this.
	No.
	Asylum seeker convicted in the UK of murder shot two people dead in Serbia and dealt drugs in Italy before heading to Britain.
	So this is the chap here.
	Abdurrasimzai...
	I don't care.
	He was stabbed to death after an altercation in the English town of Bournemouth last year.
	He stabbed a Royal Marine recruit to death.
	I love it.
	The English community don't stab each other, but we've still got to deal with it.
	So, the chap here, he was 21, found guilty of murder in Salisbury Crown Court on Monday after plunging a 10cm knife into the chest of 21-year-old Thomas Roberts, drawing a row over an e-scooter.
	Great.
	His victim was understood to have been attempting to keep the peace between a friend and the murderer.
	So he stepped in to be like, no, calm down, calm down.
	And the Afghan was like, don't tell me to calm down.
	Yeah.
	There's one thing I can't stand in my culture, it's calmness.
	Yeah.
	Following the verdict, Mr.
	Afghan, a violent past came to light as it was revealed that he was an asylum seeker and had already been convicted in absentia in Sermian court for a double murder.
	Bring back hanging.
	Yeah, he was also found guilty of drug dealing in Italy.
	He also, I think, had travelled to Norway as well, had been rejected there, because he just wasn't an asylum seeker, clearly just a roaring murderer.
	Yeah, literally a roving murderer.
	It was reported that his uncle helped him smuggle himself out of Afghanistan to Pakistan, where he would have been safe from the Taliban.
	However, he did decide to lie in court and say that he claimed that his Taliban...
	Sorry, he claimed that the Taliban had killed his parents after suspecting of them working with NATO, and he had been tortured by the militants, and then had to flee because he'd been stabbed 28 times.
	He was a lying murderer.
	Obvious bollocks.
	The whole story's obvious bollocks.
	Bring back hanging.
	I don't care.
	I'm not going to give it the time of day.
	Prosecutor told the court that Mr.
	Afghan had received 20 years prison sentence in Serbia for shooting two migrants dead in a refugee centre.
	Where'd he get a gun?
	Stealing those drugs.
	No.
	He was a people smuggler enforcer.
	Oh.
	He killed two migrants.
	I was there recently.
	They have multiple shootings on a regular basis between Pakistani and Afghan people smuggling gangs.
	He's part of the gang.
	He was one of them.
	And then flees the murder, goes to England, and then just murders another guy.
	Well, he might be an asylum seeker because there's a process of application.
	No.
	Deport immediately.
	No, hang immediately.
	Well, you don't know if he's a murderer at the point you find him.
	Oh, okay.
	But either way, it's just like, well, they're not taking you.
	Immediate arrival by legal means equals denied application.
	If you arrive by legal means, you can come, but illegal means, no.
	In case you're wondering, we still have thousands of people every year coming legally for asylum.
	Yeah.
	The actual ones who are fleeing.
	Yeah.
	Often women and children, I mean.
	Every single year.
	Syria, North Korea, China, we have some.
	Russia, no, but instead we have Mr.
	Afghan over here.
	So he fled the country, spent time in Norway and Italy dealing drugs before being denied his request for asylum because he was dealing drugs.
	They gave him a sentence in Norway, which they said to bugger off.
	And they went to Italy and dealt drugs and they went bugger off.
	No one at any point was like, hang on a minute, maybe we should deport him.
	Traveled to France.
	Croatia convicted him of a double homicide.
	Got on the ferry to England and told the border officials he was 14.
	He's a schoolboy.
	So the British government put him into a foster care and then moved him into a school.
	Even though he was an adult.
	Murderer.
	On the run.
	Now he's with a bunch of kids.
	Yeah, he was under the guardianship of some white woman.
	Because of course.
	And she recounted in the court how he would frequently have night terrors, regularly carried a knife, and said that he had a Jekyll and Hyde personality to locals.
	Great, great.
	At least he gets the cultural reference.
	I don't think...
	I don't know if he did.
	She told the court how he had been involved in street fights for money, engaged in altercations with people at Alton Towers theme park during a visit.
	Can't even go to a theme park without just being like, yeah, how about I try and murder someone?
	He posted footage on social media of himself beating up an old man with the caption, we are Afghan, we keep it real.
	Still not deported at that point.
	And then he goes on to murder a Royal Marine recruit.
	And then he's like, yeah, I'm a kid.
	I'm a kid, bro.
	By the way, he was also in the school.
	He beat up a girl's boyfriend in there.
	And the girl was talking to the police about that.
	The other next part.
	He quotes in the court case the reason he did it.
	Why he killed a Royal Marine recruit.
	Because he thought the Royal Marine recruit might be Taliban.
	With an English accent.
	Not very likely.
	Yeah, obvious bollocks again.
	If you go to the next one here, he was also just fighting with randos every other day, apparently.
	This is in here.
	The asylum seeker was seen with a hood up, had a balaclava on, covering half his face, and was wearing an Afghanistan flag around his neck as he fought random people in the street.
	Great.
	Great.
	Cool.
	Cool guy.
	And if you go to the next one here, there's him beating off a 14-year-old's boyfriend.
	Which Fantastic.
	And then the next one being him, the people trafficking enforcer news.
	Horrible story on every front.
	Yeah, maniac.
	Just gets worse and worse.
	There's endless details of why it's terrible.
	And then Nigel Farage came out and just spoke some facts.
	Oh, how dare he.
	Spitting facts.
	Yeah.
	And I suppose we'll listen to some of this, shall we?
	Yeah, go on.
	I bet none of you have seen that yesterday in Truro Crown Court, a failed asylum seeker, yes, failed asylum seeker, awaiting deportation, deportations that never actually happen, was convicted of rape.
	That won't even make a national newspaper.
	And it goes on and on and on, sticking in the West Country, who remembers Lorraine Cox.
	She was murdered in 2020 in Exeter by a failed asylum seeker.
	Somebody who came into the country, didn't get asylum, should have been deported.
	But hey, no one talks about that.
	Or remember the car bomb that happened a couple of years back in Liverpool.
	Outside, yeah, outside a hospital.
	Or the Sudanese man who stabbed six people in Glasgow in 2020.
	Well, in the same month, of course, there was a triple stabbing that took place Down in Reading, again, a failed asylum seeker.
	In Bolton that year, a seven-year-old girl murdered by a failed asylum seeker.
	And you can remember perhaps going right back to 2017, the bomb on the London Underground committed by somebody in the country who lied about his age, not to mention the horrendous London Bridge attacks in which 11 people were murdered, and one of those was a failed asylum seeker.
	So even when...
	Even when the system works in some way, even when we reject young men for their asylum claims as ineligible, they're still free to stay in the country and go out and commit rape and murder.
	And I promise you, all of those numbers I've given you, all of those incidents I've given you, and by the way, there are many, many more, they all come from a time when the numbers crossing the English Channel were relatively low.
	And now it's tens of thousands, where it used to be tens.
	Just something to keep in mind.
	An actually good MP, Lee Anderson, visited France recently and was just like, well, this is obviously hell.
	We're killing ourselves.
	We need to stop.
	Of course, he got a lot of crap for that, but I thought he'd feature it.
	Because he's the only one I've seen talking about this.
	If you go to the next link, we can see it.
	And then, well, then the news broke that there are 200 missing children, Carl.
	Never mind, ignore all of that.
	Stop trusting your lying eyes that maybe this is a problem.
	There are 200 missing children.
	Here we are.
	They've gone missing across the country.
	Child migrants.
	Mo is one of the children, 13.
	That's a piss take, but the thing is, it's obviously true as well.
	Like, this meme account here is not really joking.
	Because if you go to the next link, in Parliament, this dude decided to just shout out that, well, maybe they shouldn't come here illegally.
	Someone was like, there's missing children from the hotels.
	Yeah, well don't come here then.
	Said this dude here.
	Jonathan Gullis.
	Great guy.
	And then James O'Brien was deeply hurt by all of that.
	Started whining on LBC about the disgusting, inhumane words.
	James, they're not actually children, you moron.
	None of them are children.
	It's demonstrable.
	I should have clipped this, but just the wording he uses is like, how dare he say these sort of things?
	Ridiculous language.
	And then some MPs started coming out and screeching about it as well.
	It's like, please denounce this.
	Won't everyone denounce this?
	We play this clip.
	This stupid lady here.
	Now, a member on the benches opposite, who's clearly bent on establishing himself as some kind of Conservative Party pound-shock farage, reportedly shouted something really loathsome yesterday at PMQs about the 200 asylum-seeking children that are allegedly missing.
	I was so despicable, I won't repeat it, but its content must be known to her through the outrage on social media.
	Will she join me in condemning his remarks, which by victim blaming potentially 200 missing vulnerable children marks a new low in dehumanising language towards asylum seekers.
	We all know behaviour in this place can be raucous and passionate and emotions sometimes run very high, but surely all of us would join in deploring attacking language being used on the poor and defenceless among us.
	Foreign defenseless such as the murderer we mentioned earlier.
	Is she actually talking about him?
	No, well, pretty much.
	Because if you go to the next one...
	He said he was a kid, didn't he?
	They're all the same thing.
	Yeah.
	The news broke literally after she gave her speech.
	So I'm seeing who's missing from her hotel arrested on drug offences.
	Oh, really?
	76 minors had been housed here and they were all missing.
	Two of the young people, as the BBC writes...
	We're arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs in Cambridgeshire and Gloucestershire, while a third was arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis in Tottenham.
	Amazing.
	Yeah, amazing that.
	Young people.
	Young people.
	Just all the teenagers, all the 13-year-olds who are into drug dealing these days.
	You know, they turn up and they leave because they're not meant to be in the hotel.
	They either go back to join the gang or they go out and find the criminals that orchestrated them getting here.
	These 200 kids.
	But just taking advantage of the system that you've set up to facilitate them doing what they're doing.
	Yeah.
	And trust me, there is no other reality.
	It's not possible for us to change anything, Carl.
	No, no.
	There was nothing ever better than this.
	Pay your taxes.
	Do your duty to Economic Zone 17.
	If we go to the next link here, we can see some of that.
	There you are.
	I don't know if you saw these blowing up.
	Yeah, I shared it.
	Someone shared a picture of a calendar they have with old paintings on it.
	They were like, look at this world that never existed.
	I love this.
	I bought this calendar as a curiosity.
	Images like these depict a world that never existed.
	They're an idealization of childhood memories.
	Okay, well, let's examine the image.
	There's a woman on a bike, a guy with a van, some sheep, and a road that's going into the English countryside.
	Oh yeah, that's just ridiculous.
	That's all fiction.
	Yeah, how could something like that exist?
	Flowers along the roadside?
	Preposterous.
	You've never seen a bike?
	Yeah, exactly.
	If it was some, like, if it was like Wakanda or something, I'd understand.
	They'd be like, yeah, well, this is just an idea.
	Oh, you've got something.
	That is English Wakanda, though.
	As in, like, that's our ideal world?
	Sure, but that's also real!
	And the thing is, it's real!
	Yeah, it was real, you know?
	At least it's still real in some places, but it's just like, yeah, what a crazy, crazy thing.
	This person here says, reactionaries rely on these false images, these false idols that you pray to.
	The myth that the once great nation could be great again, the root of fascism.
	No, trust me, it's always terrible, it's always been terrible, it could never be anything but terrible.
	I love, though, that peak fascism is a woman...
	Walking through a country lane and saying good morning to the guy driving the van.
	That's just that.
	I mean, if that's fascism, I think you may be...
	There might be a negative inversion here.
	But you're like, look at this fascism.
	Everyone's like, ooh, look, fascism.
	But this is the ideology of the people who run the place, who've constructed all of this, and tell us our lying eyes are fake.
	Which, speaking of our lying eyes, let's indulge our lying eyes once more, shall we, to end this off?
	This is what I call ladybird libertarianism.
	What...
	What are you talking about?
	Gibberish.
	Okay, fine.
	There we are.
	There we are.
	You're lying eyes.
	Not real.
	Man with bike saying good morning to lady as he gives her bread.
	In a little village.
	Not possible.
	If you want to scroll through this thread as well, this guy just decided to put a whole bunch of them.
	There you are.
	Fake.
	Yeah, just people.
	Living.
	Living.
	You ever fed a sheep?
	Sheep aren't real, Carl.
	North Wales, yeah, I know.
	You ever been out into the countryside in the summer, Callum?
	No.
	No, of course you haven't.
	Because no countryside exists.
	It's a fake word.
	It's like jetpacks.
	It's just so mental.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Yeah.
	But that's that.
	This is just average life back in the day.
	Yeah.
	Menial things.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, your lying eyes tell you this isn't real, so don't worry about it.
	Look at the video comments.
	Hey guys, I asked you about whether or not you knew about Shadowrun, which you clearly didn't.
	I'll be happy to give you some of the ideas from it.
	I don't want to go into any deep dives or anything, though.
	It's more interesting if you have a look at it yourself.
	But I will give you one of the ideas which are from it, which are megacorporations, which are global corporations, which run archaeologies, which are internally held cities where they keep all their corporate wage states.
	See, I never played Shadowrun, did you?
	I don't even know what it is.
	It's some sort of cyberpunk.
	I'm looking at images right now, being like, what is this?
	Yeah, it's probably a cyberpunk prediction of what the future's going to be like.
	I think we've got a better one.
	The AI voices in my head.
	Yeah, we'll cover that another time.
	But, yeah, I'm not familiar with Cyber Run, as you mentioned, but...
	Shadow Run.
	Sorry, Shadow Run.
	I never played it.
	It's not that I was not interested in either.
	It was just, you know, one of those ones where I'd always seen, like, you know, screenshots and reviews and, like, PC Gamer and stuff like that.
	And it looked good.
	I just never happened to get a copy.
	Nice one.
	I think I recall Callum or Connor bringing up a lot of Fallout and Oblivion factoids, and I was wondering if they remembered the Tenpenny Tower questline from, I think, Fallout 3.
	Basically decide whether to help the humans living in the tower kill the ghouls that are invading, Or help the ghouls invade the tower and, you know, kill all the humans.
	Or you can take the third option and convince all the humans to let the ghouls in and coexist.
	Now, if you come back later, the ghouls have killed all the humans after they moved in over a disagreement.
	What did the makers mean by this?
	I never thought of it that way.
	Yeah.
	Do you remember Tenpenny Tower?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Have you played Fallout or not?
	I've played Fallout 3, yeah.
	Okay.
	I always persuaded Tenpenny to blow up the new Megaton.
	I never blew up Megaton.
	I thought it was dumb, but whatever.
	They want to live like Retard.
	Yeah, but I thought I just wanted to see the nuclear explosion.
	Okay.
	Now I'm at a Tempani.
	Now you run Tempani Tower.
	Yeah.
	I also killed all the ghouls.
	Who wouldn't?
	They're ghouls.
	I never understood the moral quest line.
	I was like, ooh, do you kill the ghouls?
	I'm like, yes.
	Because the thing is...
	Why are they trying to break into Tempani Tower?
	Because you've got the feral ghouls.
	And this wasn't really ever cleared up in the Fallout universe, but then it's even more messed now.
	But like the...
	What is that?
	The normal ghouls who are not feral yet.
	But it was implied that they could go feral?
	Yeah.
	And in which case...
	Eventually they would go feral.
	Like, you're about to kill me, and then your friends are all trying to kill me currently.
	We're not going to be friends.
	We have the next one.
	It doesn't look like me.
	Pretty badass though.
	I like the last one.
	Yeah.
	I think it actually doesn't look like you in a weird way.
	Yeah.
	It also looked good in power armor.
	Colin says, so the Ukrainians need to integrate, but the Pakistani, Somalis, etc., don't?
	It's like, ah, that's the point, isn't it, Colin?
	They need to integrate into the Pakistani and Somali cultures.
	All right, now we're off YouTube.
	We've had this conversation before, which is that if you note the number of complaints in British society, and this is just an observational thing, it's only one group.
	Let's be frank.
	It really is.
	And I do wonder, in an alternative universe of Britain, where we just didn't take the Raj, the Northern Raj, to be specific, we didn't take Pakistan.
	What would the country look like?
	Which country?
	Ours.
	The UK, yeah.
	What would be the complaints about immigration?
	The complaints about the Polish are literally just, well, they're kind of good at plumbing.
	Stealing our jobs?
	It's not really a bad complaint, is it?
	Yeah.
	What are the Hong Kongers doing?
	Well, they're opening all these businesses.
	It would just be reduced to there are just too many.
	Yeah.
	Because that's really the main problem.
	Like, all of the immigrants I've met have been really nice, actually.
	I don't dislike them.
	It's just...
	The female genital mutilation.
	Yeah, well, there's...
	The honor killings and terrorism.
	But even if we're just talking about all of the other immigrants combined, like, okay, but it's just...
	There are just too many.
	Millions upon millions.
	It's like...
	Gone too far.
	But it's also just like, if you take the Arabs, like most of the Arabs are far more civilised than the Pakistanis.
	There is a tangible difference there.
	And it's why it was Imantoidi.
	Yeah, I'll tell the story.
	He went to Qatar for an Islamic meeting, and they were all like, oh, there's a Muslim in charge of London now.
	And he explained it was a Pakistani, and they went, oh.
	Persians and Arabs hating Pakistanis.
	Yeah, yeah, because there genuinely is a massive cultural difference as well.
	They're not wrong.
	Civilizationally, there's a huge gap there.
	As I understand, the Persians look down on the Arabs anyway.
	Then the Arabs look down on the Pakistanis.
	The hierarchy of racism.
	Someone online says that Ukrainian woman looked up hate facts.
	Arrest her.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Rick says, The Ukrainians are normal, actually.
	We're the ones who are weird.
	That is true as well.
	The delusion about what the USA was, say, 30 years ago.
	Mostly it's still now.
	Just like a normal place.
	People could think.
	It was a country.
	But then ideological poison came into every facet of everyone's lives.
	Yeah.
	And now it's completely foreign place.
	Rue the day says, and this is the point I was thinking.
	Interesting to see how the only English woman in the entire, in the entire Brummie thing, had no time to sort a kitchen before filming your goddamn interview.
	First thing I noticed too, get your S together, lass.
	Bet you none of the Kashmiris would have allowed their wife to be seen in the kitchen like that.
	I was just looking at it thinking, look at the state of that kitchen.
	Have the decency to tidy up.
	Not so true.
	I just noticed in the chat, I do remember, when it was in Afghanistan, they also had the same opinion of the Pakistanis.
	I think I told you that.
	Like, I gave them some Pakistani chocolate, and the dude was like, oh.
	Like, okay.
	They have the same opinion of the Pakistanis that we have about the French.
	Anyway.
	The whole place is a mess.
	Like, what's on that dude from Pakistan?
	Like, even he went on Joe Rogan and talked about it.
	Or is it the whole country?
	Not Majid Noir's.
	Not Majid Noir's.
	He's not from Pakistan, is he?
	Oh, well, he is Pakistani descent.
	All right.
	Well, there's a different guy.
	The guy who did the Santanic Versus.
	Oh, Osama Rushdie?
	Yeah, he spoke about it.
	It was just like, the whole concept of Pakistan doesn't even make sense.
	No.
	Like, why are these groups together?
	And it's like, oh, should we just put them together because they're Muslim?
	It's like, well, none of these groups have anything in common.
	They're all like this weird, nonsense, barbaric culture in the sense of like the tribal mentality in a bad way that's still there and has been kept that way because of the Islamic top-down structure of like, we're an Islamic republic, in which case you can't change any of the things.
	Right.
	So all of the worst parts of the world before the British came there are still there.
	So you could do these reforms if it wasn't Pakistan.
	If it was part of India, it would probably have reformed at this point.
	Anyway, Indian nationalism aside.
	What was the thing the other day we were looking at where the Pakistanis were being racist towards the Bangladeshis?
	Yeah, that's the other thing.
	Because the Bangladeshis have reformed.
	The Persians, the Arabs, the Pakistanis, the Bangladeshis.
	Who's below the Bangladeshis?
	Well, the Indonesians below the Bangladeshis?
	I mean, they're quite high and civilized.
	I don't know, but that's my point exactly, which is you've got East Pakistan over there, because they got rid of the Islamic superstructure.
	Like, they're still Muslims, but like...
	They're not like...
	Yeah, they don't have this weird tribal system that they try and keep because that's real Islam.
	Instead, they're like, no, let's try and make some money making t-shirts.
	Sensible.
	Sophie says, there's honestly also a big difference in the quality of refugees.
	Here in Denmark, as the only country in Europe, we have started sending back Syrians to make room for Ukrainians.
	It turns out, though, Ukrainians are great refugees.
	Actually, one of the rules here in Denmark is the aim of the refugees should work and they should have jobs.
	Syrians don't want to.
	They're being told to go to these workplaces and they just don't show up.
	Omar says, Ukrainians escaping actual warfare confirm it's better to live in a country being destroyed by shelling than one ruined by work retards.
	Yes.
	Gianni says, Western countries.
	Spends years doing anti-nationalist propaganda, demonizes patriotism, insulting the indigenous population, culture and traditions.
	Also Western countries.
	Why can't we get people to die for us?
	Precisely it.
	Brandon says, to be fair, using snowflakes as cannon fodder isn't a terrible idea.
	Just don't issue them weapons.
	It's like, yeah, but you can't get them to sign up to be cannon fodder.
	Alex says, as a lad, I dreamed of joining the military to sacrifice my life for defending grooming gangs, Albanian drug dealers, and our JP Morgan banker overlords.
	Did I send you the Albanians music video yet?
	Nah, maybe.
	So the Albanians are some gang in London that do drugs.
	They've started filming music videos in broad daylight with, like, armoured cars.
	Oh, yeah.
	With guns in them.
	Well, the British police can do that.
	It's got 19 million views on YouTube.
	It's still up.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, yeah, send it to me.
	I'll watch it.
	Saverian Knox says, people would fight for Economic Zone 17 if they had families to defend in it.
	Wow, there is that.
	John says, 15, 20 years ago, I would have happily fought to defend my country.
	The culture has changed so much in the time I'd gathered my family, sell my house and flee somewhere, probably Poland or Hungary, makes Christian conservative country.
	Yeah.
	I'd just be like, well, I'd just accept the new regime.
	And Nape says, so we aren't going to get this lovely day in the life of being the British Army TikToks.
	Yeah.
	General Haiping says, Capita is the sort of company that makes workers redundant at the end of a project, only to immediately start a new project and be short-staffed while they rehire the people they just fired.
	They represent a big chunk of what's wrong with modern business practices.
	Clearly.
	They're obviously just like, well, look, the gravy trains are going to keep coming, so we don't have to do a good job.
	That's the problem with government contractors.
	Thomas says, Well, that's obviously true.
	Free Will says, our governments have betrayed us, either by design or by greed, or by incompetence.
	They will talk enough hot air to create a climate crisis, but they will do little or nothing to solve these problems, because they are micro-men, many of whom, if reports that are believed, can't even pass GCSE maths.
	So much for our great leaders.
	Yeah, well, reports to be believed, or interviews with people like Diane Abbott.
	Mr.
	Century says, no wonder Italy is beating us, Callum.
	100% diversity.
	Wink, wink.
	I was nailing that on Twitter the other day.
	No one had a comeback to my Italians aren't white.
	Well, how would they?
	Well, I posted the Smithsonian graph, and that got shared around a lot.
	And I was like, yeah, so by this standard, Italians are certainly not white, and you've got no argument.
	I don't disagree.
	Protestant work ethic.
	A lot of people going, no, Italians are white.
	And it's like...
	Yeah, so is Argentina.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Italians are about as well.
	Because I love it matters so much to some people.
	I know, I just don't care.
	This is just a meme to me, but if it's following the Protestant work ethic, I'm sorry.
	I've known too many Italians.
	I love my Italians.
	They're lovely people.
	And they are, genuinely.
	Every Italian I've met has been a really lovely person.
	I'm not disagreeing.
	I really like them as people.
	I just don't want them running a country.
	You don't want them running Italy?
	I don't want it.
	Well, no.
	To be fair, they've not had a great job.
	No, exactly.
	They haven't.
	We set it up.
	Republic.
	Very cool.
	World War I. Lose.
	World War II. Since then, communism.
	They were on the winning side, technically.
	No, I mean, like, the effect of running of the state has never been good for them.
	They're aware of this.
	Yeah, I know.
	We're not telling them anything they don't know.
	Anyway, otherwise go down to Sicily and talk to the mob.
	Well, by the way, we're out of time, so if you'd like more from us, losis.com.
	You'll effectively run a criminal racket.
	Otherwise, go and check out the Helbanians or something, I don't know.
	We'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
