Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast.
Hello to Seaters episode 589 on today, the 14th of February, 2023.
Happy Valentine's Day all of you insoles out there.
I am joined by Dan. Hello and since it is Valentine's Day I'd like to give a curt nod to my lovely little lady wife who's at home with the children.
Anyone you're going to say hello to Connor?
Not at the moment. Oh, you need to move your mic.
No one's going to hear you otherwise.
Oh dear. No, that is the benefit of our listeners.
No, the wife missed the shout-out then.
Oh, well, that's fine.
You'll still be sleeping on the sofa when you get home anyway.
Today we're going to be discussing how Biden's been bombing the Germans, the dark past of Drag Queen Story Hour UK, and Jeremy Clarkson's case for an ANCAP utopia.
Before we begin, it would actually be helpful if the screen was turned on.
That would be nice. But we're going to plug at 3 o'clock today your Brokonomics series.
Episode 8 is coming out on Central Bank Digital Currencies.
Yeah, that's a good one. The screen has just not come on here, John, for some strange reason.
We're having a bit of a tech kick-up on air at the moment.
I'm sure the Brokonomics will look good on it when it's there.
There we go. And at 5 o'clock on tomorrow afternoon, there is Comics Corner episode 4 coming out, and it is on Identity Crisis and Cry for Justice, where Harry and I are going to be discussing capital punishment in comics.
It's quite contentious, because these are comics that quite a lot of people hate, and so we decided to do something that we enjoyed and that everyone else would pour score on us for.
So if you haven't already, subscribe to the website for as little as £5 a month and you'll get all that great content.
Without further ado, let's jump into the news.
Yeah, I'm going to be covering how Biden's declared war in Germany.
Before I do, I just wanted to push the web dev job that we've still got open.
So if you are a web developer and you fancy a bit of Swindon, then apply for that and you can work with us very sound people.
Now, Biden declares war in Germany.
This is an interesting one indeed.
I believe you did something on the Nord Stream pipeline a few months back.
Yeah, a little while ago. It's mysterious explosion.
Yeah, back then, of course, you're having to run on speculation.
Yes. We now know a lot more thanks to Seymour Hersh.
Now, who is Seymour Hersh?
Well, he is arguably America's top investigative journalist.
He's been in the business for a very long time now.
He really broke into the business with the exposure of the Maile massacre, which occurred during the Vietnam War.
Now, this was an awful massacre of about 400 Vietnamese men, women and children in a village in Vietnam.
as 12 were, I won't say it, but you know where I'm going with this.
And then after they were done, even the infants were massacred.
Now, there was an investigation by Hearst which brought this to light, and it caused a huge scandal at the time, a huge backlash.
The army eventually acknowledged that it was real, that it had happened.
And there was justice served, just on one individual though.
Platoon leader William Calley was convicted of the crime and he had to serve three years house arrest.
For the murder of 400 people.
Well, we've all done 18 months house arrests recently, so we know what's that like and that seems perhaps a fitting punishment.
There were three soldiers who tried to protect some of the men, women and children and they were vilified by the mainstream press at the time and Congress, which always goes to show if you're standing up against what is popular at the time, Even if you are doing the right thing against evil, you will be persecuted.
So that was how he got into the business, and he certainly didn't stop there.
He covered the 1970s Watergate scandal.
He covered that for the New York Times.
He then went on to reveal Operation Menu, which was the clandestine bombings that took place in Cambodia.
Now, of course, the American Deep State supported the Khmer Rouge back in the late 70s in Cambodia.
This was a murderous regime that killed 30% of their own population, 30% of the population of an entire country.
And I've been to Cambodia, I've seen the killing fields, I've seen the piles of skulls.
I've even been to the Taoslong Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, where you can see the bricked up windows, you can see the steel beds that they held people to while they tortured them.
It was a horrific regime which the American deep state decided to support.
Henry Kissinger, who is of course a deep state legend who I've mentioned before on this podcast, he told the Thai foreign minister, and this is a quote, you should tell the Cambodians that we will be friends with them.
They were murderous thugs, but we won't let that stand in our way.
So he didn't stop there either.
In 2004, Hirsch reported on the military torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison.
This was under President Bush, of course.
So as you can imagine, the Liberals, they absolutely loved this guy.
He was held up in the very, very highest of regards.
It's just unfortunate that he's got a name that sounds like Bart Simpson would prank call Moe's Tavern with it.
Yes, I see where you're going with that.
But no, they loved this guy.
He won all the awards.
He won two National Magazine Awards, apparently.
He won five George Polk Awards.
He even won the Pulitzer Prize.
But what he did not do is he did not get the memo.
And when Obama took over, he failed to shut up.
He carried on doing what he had always done.
So under Obama, he then started talking about how he had lied around the events surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden.
He called out the bullshit around the supposed chemical weapons attack that Bashir al-Assad's regime committed in the Syrian war.
I don't know if you remember that one, but just as Assad was about to win for some inexplicable reason, they apparently did the one thing that gave the US reason to get involved directly in the campaign.
Hirsch was the one who called that out.
And so the liberals have been turning on Hirsch more lately because he's continued to do what he always did.
And he's really upset them in the last few days because he's talked about how it was the US deep state that carried out the attack on the German-Russian pipeline, the Nord Stream 2 and the other ones.
So I'm going to refer you to his substack.
This is... How he published it.
He normally publishes his stuff now through The New Yorker, but for some reason they didn't want to publish it.
Presumably they had got the memo that you're not supposed to run stories like this whenever there was a democratic president in office.
Now, it's quite a long article.
I do recommend that you go and check it out because it is an important historical document, this one.
But let's say you don't want to sit there and wade through it.
Well, that's what this segment is about.
I'm going to take you through it. Now, he goes into a lot of detail in this.
He starts off by talking about the unit that did the job.
It was the U.S. Navy's Diving and Salvage Center, and he talks a lot about how they could be found in some quiet area of Panama City, Florida, and he headlines it this way.
Last June, Navy divers operating under the cover of a NATO exercise planted the remotely triggered explosives that three months later destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with a direct knowledge of operational planning.
Then he takes us back to Washington and how the planning for this began.
Uh... President Biden and his foreign policy team, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Victoria Nuland, the Under-Secretary of State, had been vocal and consistent in their hostility to the two pipelines.
Hirsch explains, These pipelines have been a boon for the German economy, which enjoyed an abundance of cheap Russian natural gas, enough to run its factories, to heat its homes, while enabling Germany to sell excess gas at a profit throughout Western Europe.
Now, yes, that's precisely what's going on.
The German economy was basically a 5 trillion euro economy, and all of that was built on the foundation layer of 50 billion of cheap Russian gas.
It's something I keep coming back to in the segments.
Agriculture and energy are the base tier of any economy.
You knock those out and you fundamentally undermine it.
I've got a segment on agriculture coming up a little bit later in the show, but for now, let's stick to German energy.
Now, Hirsch continues, from its earliest days, Nord Stream 1 was seen by Washington and its anti-Russian NATO partners as a threat to Western dominance.
Yes. Now, this is the great game.
The great game is trying to keep Europe divided.
Essentially, the crux of it is trying to keep Germany and Russia apart.
This is not new. This has been going on since the 1800s.
So please, if you're watching this, do not be one of those people that thinks that history started two news cycles ago.
You cannot understand what is going on in the news.
If you think that you're getting complete information, that you're lacking that historical context.
So, you know, for example, in 2022, there were 17 wars being fought around the world and you only heard about one of them.
You didn't hear about Mali, for example, Somalia, Yemen, Syria.
Those did not get mentioned, but all of those were live conflicts, which it was not useful for the narrative machine to have you clued in on.
Now, I'm actually going to throw up a book recommendation here since we're talking about The Great Game.
Personal favourite of mine, the Flashman novels.
I really like them because if they were written today, I mean, to put it mildly, they're politically incorrect.
I think if they were written today, the author would probably be jailed, let alone cancelled and kicked off Twitter.
Now, these are quite good because basically it's a fictional story about real events.
So the character is fictional, but he inserts him into real life events.
And the first book is about the retreat from Afghanistan.
Much nearer the beginning of this great game that Western powers were playing to try and separate Russia from the rest of the world.
Now, back to the Hirsch articles after that slight divergence.
And he gets into how this was originally conceived.
And the date is important of this.
I want you to remember the date of this.
This planning began in December 2021.
Now, The flag shaggers on Twitter are convinced that the war, as they put it, began in April 2022.
Yeah, exactly. So this is three months before the war apparently started.
This is what I'm saying about historical context.
This war did not start then.
It started at least back in 2014.
It's been a long-running civil war between the Kiev regime and the ethnically Russian peoples of Eastern Europe.
Ukraine who tried to have autonomous regions.
That's really the origins of it.
So the planning of this pipeline destruction occurred months before the normies think that there was anything to even consider in any of this.
We know there have been long-running interests in Ukraine as well.
I covered this last week with Dominique.
When Obama was still a junior senator from Chicago, he was one of two American senators going over to Ukraine to investigate Soviet former bioweapons labs.
Why was junior Chicago Senator Barack Obama, who had no foreign policy experience whatsoever, going and wandering around Ukraine bioethics labs, which then were invested in by Hunter Biden's investment firm?
And of course Biden, he made numerous trips out to the Ukraine.
For a relatively minor country, it got a lot of attention from the US elites, very suspicious of that, and perhaps this article goes some way to explaining why that is.
Hersh talks about December 2021, Jake Sullivan convened a meeting of a newly formed task force.
Men and women from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, the State and Treasury Departments, and they asked for recommendations that they could put to the President.
It would be the first of a series of top-secret meetings in a secure room on the top floor of the old Executive Building, adjacent to the White House that was also the home of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
Over the next several meetings, the participants debated options for an attack.
The Navy proposed using a submarine.
The Air Force discussed dropping bombs with delayed fuses.
The CIA argued that whatever was done, it would have to be covert.
Everybody involved understood the stakes.
This is not kiddy stuff, the source said.
If the attack was traceable to the United States, this is an act of war.
Yes. Yes, this is an act of war.
This is an act of war on crucial German energy infrastructure.
It is an act of war on the German economy.
Germany, just remind ourselves, is a NATO member, and the Biden regime committed an act of war against the German economy, against the German people.
The story continues.
CIA Director William Burns authorised an agency working group whose members included people familiar with the Navy's deep sea divers in Panama City.
Over the next few weeks, members of CIA's working group began to craft plans for a covert operation that would use deep sea divers and trigger an explosion on the pipeline.
Hurst explains, talking to his source, throughout all of this scheming, the source said, some working guys in the CIA and State Department were saying, don't do this.
It's stupid and it's a political nightmare if it comes out.
Now, I'm next going to show you a clip.
That you've probably seen before, but you're probably going to get a slightly different perspective on it.
Now this is in early February, so we're still about a month away from when the normies believe that this war started.
Now having heard everything that I've just told you, and knowing that Biden has been regularly updated on the progress of this working group, Where they're discussing how they're going to get this job done.
Remember, this is before the war.
Biden went into a press conference with the German Chancellor and when asked about the Nord Stream pipeline, he said this.
Let me answer the first question first.
If Germany, if Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then There will be no longer a Nord Stream 2.
We will bring an end to it.
How will you do that exactly, since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control?
I promise you we'll be able to do that.
Yeah, it gives a different spin when you know the background planning that was going on behind that.
Now, at first, when he said that, that caused absolute dismay amongst the working group and within the CIA. But smarter heads realised that that had actually given them an opportunity.
Because, as Hearst explains, the plan to blow up Nord Stream 1 and 2 was suddenly downgraded from a covert operation that would have required that Congress be formally notified to a highly classified intelligence operation.
And under US law, there was no longer a legal requirement to report the operation to Congress.
There's also the fact that even though most presidents have done military action outside the purview of Congress, Congress are meant to be the only body which can declare an act of war.
So taking it out of Congress's hands means that this can't be legally challenged as an act of war against either Russia or Germany.
Because that was always one of the big spanners in the works about, you know, when we were speculating beforehand, before we understood this, before we got these revelations, the question was always, well, you know, somebody in Congress would have been informed and surely somebody would have spoken out against some aspect of this.
But that explains how Congress were kept out of the loop.
Hirst then goes on for much of the rest of the article.
He then talks about how the Norwegians basically helped the US with the planning process, how this deep-seen diver team relocated to a base.
I think it was a US base.
The US, I believe, had a submarine base out in Norway, and they worked to come various technical challenges.
The Norwegians also had a solution to the crucial question of when the operation should take place.
Every June for the last 21 years, the American 6th Fleet had sponsored a major NATO exercise in the Baltic Sea involving scores of Allied ships.
The Norwegians proposed that this would be the ideal cover to plant the mines.
The Americans provided one vital element.
They convinced the six fleet planners to add a research and development exercise to the programme.
It would involve NATO teams of divers placing mines, with competing teams using the latest underwater technology to find and destroy them.
So, perfect cover went in under this.
Right. The article then explains that Biden started to dither because he thought it would be a bit obvious if it happened straight away and he wanted to add a way of basically triggering these at a later date.
So then there's a whole bunch of detail about how they did that.
And I'm just going to skip to the last thing that I want to mention from this article.
On September 26, 2022, a Navy plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped off a sonar buoy.
A few hours later, a high-powered C4 explosive triggered and three of the four pipelines were put out of commission.
So I'll leave the article for there, and then we can just sort of think about, you know, the fallout from these revelations, because Germany's ruling party have basically ignored this story.
I don't think they know what to say about this.
The German media is either discrediting or again simply ignoring it.
Those German media that are covering this story are basically saying that it can't be true because if it was it would be helpful to Russia.
And therefore it must be a lie.
That is the narrative that they're going with.
And look, you can understand why, because this would be an absolute political disaster for the German government that have aligned itself so heavily with the Biden war against Russia.
They've made themselves dependent on US liquefied natural gas imports, which are significantly more expensive.
The German economy is suffering heavily.
Very significantly because of this, so it would be a disaster for them.
And of course the other thing you've got to remember is that the German government are the Green Party version of the regime at the moment, and they put a lot of stock in their environmental credentials.
Now according to, and I'm going to quote here from the German Federal Environmental Agency, they called it a significant climate damage event.
They said it was the equivalent of 7.5 million tonnes of CO2 being released, which is the equivalent of 1% of annual greenhouse gas emissions.
So they described it as a disaster.
So in all round, it is a complete disaster for the German government, which is why they cannot respond to these recent events.
Well, I will also suggest that it is very politically inexpedient to acknowledge that the Americans could have done this because it is also a very convenient excuse to expedite the adoption of renewables.
Germany has been doing this for quite a while.
Auntie Angela, or Mother Merkel, whatever she was called, even despite being a credited physicist, after Fukushima went up, she decided to dismantle all of Germany's nuclear power plants, even though they were generating energy at a surplus and able to export it like France.
Then they tried to go fully renewable because the renewable tech isn't there, the battery storage isn't there, they had blackouts and brownouts in Berlin, and so she decided to get reliant on reopening coal plants and importing Russian natural gas.
Now, if there is a war in Ukraine, if the supply of fossil fuels is being constricted, it provides the Greens with the excuse to say we need to double down on renewables yet again, whether or not the tech is there, because we are forced to, and because the tech isn't there and there's no other alternatives...
we have the ability to use your European digital identity, your European citizens wallet, sync out the smart meter, and ration it for the good of Germany.
Now that this is shown to not be an act of aggression by the Russians, which is what the original narrative was, now that it's shown to be the Americans who you were importing natural gas from, who Biden said we're going to phase it out in the next 10 years, it is shown to be a very deliberate immiseration of the German people as to their energy and economic security.
And so the Greens can't run on crisis mode anymore now that we know that the Americans did this.
Yeah, well, it's de-industrialisation, which is, to be fair, another part of the Greens' agenda.
The only people in Germany who are pushing back at this that I'm aware of is the AFD, who are on the verge of being declared an illegal party.
Apparently their parliamentary co-chairman, Tino Treppler, maybe?
I'm probably getting that wrong.
He's been talking about taking dramatic action and possibly expelling US troops from the country.
Some other observations that I've got on this story.
MI6 didn't get a mention.
I find that slightly suspicious because the UK is the US's most reliable puppy and I would have thought that they would have been scampering around this somehow and they're not mentioned, which possibly makes me wonder, is the source somebody from MI6? I have no idea who the source is, but that did cross my mind, I've got to say.
Another observation, you know, the German government might as well be wearing a gimp suit at this point.
I mean, they are... Just...
Pathetic. I do have the words, but I can't say them on a family-friendly show.
Other observations. This is a bit of a message to lesser European powers.
Look what we can do.
So there's a bit of a thing to that.
And now, another comment.
Even though this is being ignored in the West, because nobody knows how to handle this...
This is not going to get ignored in what we might call the Global South, basically the rest of the world.
They will have taken notice of this sort of thing, as if all of the other things over the past couple of years did not get their notice, the seizing of foreign reserves.
And this all plays into the de-dollarization process, which I keep coming back to.
That is very real, that is happening, and that is going to be a major geopolitical shift.
The next 50 years are not going to look anything like the last 50 years because of that de-dollarization process.
That was effectively what gave the US so much power.
So this could well turn out to be one of those long-fuse type events.
I do think that this revelation is an important historical reference point and it is going to be something that future historians are going to point back on as a turning point amongst many other turning points.
I mean, you know, the shambolic withdrawal from Afghanistan and various other things that led to that slippage of US power.
I mean, the US is still incredibly powerful, of course, but its dominance in the world, its influence in the world, all of those things are slipping and the Biden regime has been...
An enormous accelerant along that process.
And another thing to point out before we close off on this one is it does make further escalation that bit much harder because, of course, we've got a GOP-led Congress now.
So we're probably less likely to see huge transfer payments going from US taxpayers to Zelensky's Coke dealer because the GOP Congress, especially with reference points like this, are probably going to be less inclined to push that.
So yeah, not a great look for the US. Important story.
Wanted to cover it. Let's see if we've got something more cheerful to talk about.
Absolutely not. No, I'm going to torture you instead.
On to the next one. So, a little while ago, I covered the parents in the UK protesting Drag Queen Story Hour arriving at the taxpayer-funded libraries.
God, I looked so young and fresh-faced.
This video, ironically, was age-restricted by YouTube.
Because that's right, if you're a baby, you can be brought and sat in front of a drag queen with a bulge reading you a book.
But any reporting on Drag Queen Story Hour is not suitable for said children attending Drag Queen Story Hour.
Repressive tolerance in action.
Despite the concerns of parents in this and plenty of parents across the country, more libraries, London Comic Con and now the Tate Gallery in London have hosted Drag Queen Story Hour done by drag queen Ada HD to read to impressionable children.
We've recently learned about the sordid history of Sam For more on the degeneracy at the Tate Gallery, we actually had this piece, over on our website, published by Alexander Adams.
The Tate goes queer.
Politically queer. We're not using any slurs here, YouTube.
Don't worry. This was published on the 23rd of January and it was actually precursive to the events that unfolded.
So keep your eyes on our website and you'll see tomorrow's news today.
So what ended up happening was on the 11th of February, so that was last Saturday, time of recording, Ada HD read storybooks to children inside the Tate gallery.
I wonder if those storybooks were particularly appropriate.
We'll get onto the exact kind of storybooks that Ada brings along with him?
Her? I'm not even sure what I'm meant to refer to it at this point.
Probably it is. Yep. So, if we can just scroll down, he does look like a clown after all.
The framing in this title, first of all, is just mental.
Protesters clash outside Tate Britain over Drag Queen Story Hour telling.
They keep calling them far-right.
I mean, but they don't call the counter-protesters, which were stand-up to racism, you know, that renter mob.
They don't call them far-left.
So, what is it? The advocacy of Drag Queen Story Hour?
That... There, that's just politically neutral.
That's the default position now, is it?
Make sure a man in a dress can read to your children or you're a far-right bigot.
Fantastic. Everyone's just being marginalised for being sensible.
Outside, t-shirts with slogans such as groom dogs not children are being worn by the far-right protesters, while placards such as don't let the far-right divide us were shown by the counter-protesters.
There's Piers Corbyn there, representative of the far-right.
Who's a socialist. And he is mad as a box of progs, so I must disavow.
He is, but he's mad in a sort of fun way, so, yeah.
He doesn't do himself the most of credit.
Around 30 far-right protesters clashed with similar numbers of counter-protesters who appeared in support of the storytelling.
So what did these far-right protesters say?
Now, some of them were patriotic alternative there, who I, just to say, have no truck with, because I think Mark Collett said that if he was going to save a burning book from a building, it would be Mein Kampf.
I have no idea who this organisation is.
Callum has done a video on one of their Channel 4 documentaries before.
They're not far right because the Nazis were left-wing socialists, but they're white supremacist sympathetic using the legitimate concerns of parents to Trojan horse into their cause.
But some of the people who were there were not necessarily a patriotic alternative.
I don't know if this gentleman who is quoted here is or isn't, but let's look at some of the really scary things the far right are saying.
Steve Norman, 72, of Finchley, North London, said he came to support the demonstration against Drag Queen Story Hour because he believed it was a disturbing event.
He said, Dangerous far-right bigot who obviously wants to put the Jews on trains.
Yeah, I mean, you had the blokes in dresses at the yearly Christmas panto when I was growing up.
Yeah, I was dragged to that.
I never liked that. But you never had them rubbing themselves up against you in a library on any given Tuesday.
No, teaching children to twerk and having bare exposed breasts on the stage in Florida.
Yeah, I think it's a bit of an order of magnitude difference, really.
Far right bigot, Dan.
If we go on to the next one, there was one person that was arrested in this, and he's going to be showing up in court.
A gentleman by the name of Lance O'Connor, 53, have placed out East London, is accused of assault on an emergency worker, obstruction of a police officer, and two homophobic, aggravated public order offences.
I also saw... That apparently here made a racist comment to a police officer.
That was in a different report. O'Connor is being held in custody and appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday.
So, not quite the Beer Hall putsch, but alright.
The event went ahead in the end, unfortunately.
We can see the photos posted by...
Ada here. And one of the great tragedies of this is not just that the Tate has gone unbearably woke recently.
See our book club on Douglas Murray's War in the West for how they were taking down murals on behalf of Black Lives Matter of people that had no connection to slavery whatsoever.
But the architecture of the Tate Is very pretty.
Like, we have the old grand majesty of British buildings, and it's occupied by this new priestly class of gender-bending, child-obsessed weirdos.
Hmm. It is hollowing out our culture from within.
It is a parasitic ideology.
To be fair, the Tate have been at the forefront of that for many years now.
I'm not surprised. Most modern art is very subversive.
I mean, we all remember the urinal that was put up as literally piddling on any ideas of beauty.
So we can go to the next as well.
There was also a recent event in Salisbury.
So Ada is continuing his tour.
Beautiful, obvious woman.
Says, disrupted by a far-right protest.
After it was disrupted by members of Patriotic Alternative, it was moved to another location due to fears for people's safety, the organiser said.
It's sad, but it's a reminder of why we're doing this.
Ada, the story trying drag queen, was quoted as saying.
Ada HD was due to perform a family-friendly...
The word family-friendly in mind.
We'll come back to that later. Storytelling session about bullying, starting at 11 GMT. But up to 11, protesters from Petra to Alternative staged a protest outside the Winchester Gate on Rampart Road, holding banners, reading Stop Sexualising Our Children.
Dangerous far-right bigotry.
So we can go to the next one. Stand up to racism.
This is them there.
This is them chanting. We're not going to watch the video because it's just the typical Yankee imported slogans from the renter mob with the same printed out signs as usual.
They're all masked up because nothing says I'm standing up for the good thing and don't have any poor intentions in mind like dressing like a ninja.
And they are quoted as saying, what are you so afraid of?
It's just wigs and makeup.
Is it? Then why not have a woman read?
That would be interesting, wouldn't it?
Why do you have to be a man in a dress reading to children?
Well, it's just a pantomime dame.
What are you mad about? Let's look at Ada HD's history.
Go to Redux article, please.
Rest in Power. Drag Queen Story Hour UK founder.
Fundraising for convicted child sex offenders funeral.
Right. Not a good look.
No. Nothing he said is good here.
So, UK-based drag queen, well-known for his performances to children, is fundraising for the funeral costs of a convicted child sex offender he calls his friend.
On January 23rd, drag queen Ada HD, the stage name of performer Sab Samuel, announced on Facebook he was fundraising for the funeral costs of Darren Moore, a fellow drag queen, who...
The recent update in this story was that someone has been arrested and being questioned on the charge of manslaughter in relation to Darren Moore because he was found dead in drag in an alleyway in Cardiff, I believe.
Oh, terribly sad. Taken unjustly, Samuel wrote in his post, I'd like to give my friend the send-off he deserves, providing the link to a GoFundMe campaign for Moore and affixing to the post a photo of Moore and his husband.
More, 39, was found dead in full drag costume on the streets of Cardiff City Centre on the morning of the 22nd of January.
Previously known as Darren Sewell, More was convicted of four counts of rape on a boy under the age of 14 while living in South Wales.
As a result, he spent three years in a young offender's institution.
Four counts of rape of a boy aged 14.
Only three years. It's almost like the justice system being incredibly permissive of perverts leads to more of this stuff and more damaged children, and the cycle of abuse continues.
Following his offence, Moore was- Hang on, sorry, that- That is utter bloody madness.
I remember not so long ago, some bloke got 10 years because he filmed him and his girlfriend without her consent.
Right. She consented to the sex, but she didn't consent to the filming.
Yeah, revenge porn. And he got 10 years for that.
Yeah, and that's fine to get 10 years for that.
He should have gotten life or worse.
Absolutely worse.
Yeah, but because he fits the intersectional definition of oppressed class, we can't be putting him in the prison system because that just worsens his marginalisation.
Pardon, John? Yeah, yeah, but he was about 17.
Yeah, that doesn't matter.
I don't care. You don't... Yeah, you just don't rape 14-year-old boys and that needs to be changed.
Anyway, following his offence, Moore was also banned from having contact with children.
But in 2011, he was caught working with youth as a gymnastics and dance tutor and was convicted of breaching the lifetime order.
He was sentenced to a three-year sex offences treatment program, a 24-month supervision order, 300 hours of community service, and a six-month curfew with an electronic tag.
So it doesn't matter if he went to a young offenders institute, this man is a sick, convicted pedophile, and he was going to completely and repeatedly offend.
So, no, you shouldn't have let him out, ever.
Moore changed his name after he married his husband, who is also named Darren.
What's the joke about gay couples looking alike?
At the time of his death, Moore had worked as a jeweller and performed drag under the names Crystal Couture, C.C. Quinn and Dolly.
Moore had exhibited his jewellery at RuPaul's annual DragCon event in London in 2020, so recently propped up by the hegemony because the BBC won RuPaul's Drag Race.
As a drag queen, Moore once represented British Airways at a Pride festival in Brighton in 2018.
There was also Robert Clothier who went to Brighton Pride and headlined it and joked, I'm sweating like a paedophile in mothercare, it's so hot in here, and it turned out he got caught in a police sting trying to meet two boys who were being sold by their dad as prostitutes and he had pink underwear from Primark and chocolate flavoured condoms in his bag.
My complete lack of surprise.
Yeah, he got a very short sentence as well.
Check out my Killer Clowns of Leftism video for that.
When Moore's previous conviction came to light, British Airways released a statement saying he did not work for the airline but was brought in by a third-party entertainment agency who supplied a number of people for the event.
They also said they were unaware of his convictions under his previous name.
Also in 2018, audience members walked out of a Pride Without Prejudice performance of Moore's after he made light-hearted comments about child abuser Jimmy Savile.
They can't help but keep confessing it.
Sab Samuel, known as the storytime drag queen Ada HD, posted on his Facebook page that Moore was an exuberant human being taken from the world too early.
Not early enough. Adding, I'm sure the husband knew absolutely nothing about his partner's repeated prior child sexual assault convictions.
Also, Samuel has written this...
Gay children's books.
Gay kids' books.
Why do you need to talk about sex to kids, Sam?
They do seem to have a powerful need to do exactly that, don't they?
Mmm. Three Goats United.
Little polyamorous cult there.
And also he reposted something saying love has no age.
Can we go to the next one please, John?
Oh dear. Yeah. Drag Queen Story Hour UK. Love has no age.
With a pride suit and a pride umbrella.
Yes. I'm not alleging anything, of course.
So why is all of this happening?
Just a brief question.
I will always bring this paper up, and this paper was originally brought to my attention by the wonderful James Lindsay, who is doing the work reading stuff that nobody else wants to.
And I've mentioned this before in a segment where a drag queen got hauled off by the police because of counter-protesters in Tennessee.
There's lots of legislative efforts happening to stop this in Texas, Tennessee, Florida.
It's not really happening here, and it really needs to, because this is written by the founder of Drag Queen Story Hour USA, a person by the name of Little Miss Hot Mess, who has written kids' books called The Hips on the Drag Queen Goes Swish, Swish, Swish, which is on the New York School Board's curriculum for 3 and Up.
And it's just written, if you're a drag queen and you know it.
So, the founder of Drag Queen Story Hour, US, who obviously works with Saab Samuel to franchise it across the world, is writing books to be shown in schools to three-year-olds.
And this is the purpose of Drag Queen Story Hour.
Also, interesting note, Little Miss Hot Mess gained notoriety because they were protesting Facebook's real name provision policy.
So drag queens don't have to give their real names to Facebook to make accounts.
Just like Darren Moore changed his name to evade the knowledge of his prior child sexual offensives.
Well, that's useful. Yeah, he was demanding anonymity for LGBTQ plus and sex workers.
Hmm. Hmm.
Yeah, it's very convenient. Yeah, I don't really trust anyone unwilling to provide their real name and background around children.
Thank you very much. This person also performed on Saturday Night Live alongside a drag queen Britta filter, who a little while ago, I covered with Calvin Robinson in a segment called Drag Planet.
There was a... Black, orange-clad, very overweight drag queen who performed for school kids at the Grace Church in Manhattan.
So all the school kids were made to pack out the church pews and a drag queen strutted down the aisle dancing and all sorts in a church for school kids.
I do hope at the very least they gave the parents a head up so they could take their kids out that day.
No, I don't think they did.
No, there was quite a lot of outrage as well.
I think it was a private school. So, yeah, homeschool your kids at this point.
So, in this, the authors discuss five interrelated elements of drag queen story hour that offer early childhood educators away into a sense of queer imagination, play as praxis, praxis being the Marxist term, aesthetic transformation, strategic defiance.
They're trying to deliberately teach your children to be defiant.
Of who? Any authority other than theirs, of course.
The de-stigmatisation of shame.
I think we need a lot more shame.
I think not enough things are shamed, frankly.
I think far too many people want to celebrate their degenerate desires out in public because their conscience is screaming at them.
And so they keep telling you that you're a bigot, that you're far right, for not going along with their weird, perverse fetishes.
And embodied kinship.
Embodying children's kinship with a drag queen.
Ah, right. Yes.
That also sounds terribly creepy.
Yeah, so they're going to make you defy your parents, destigmatise shame, I wonder shame about what particular sexual taboo is there, and embody kinship with your replacement drag parent.
And I wonder where they envisage in their own mind this whole process eventually leaving.
I mean, what's the pay of at the end of this process?
I think we can guess. Well, I think we know what Darren Moore wanted, performing as a drag queen, around family-friendly Pride events, given he had already enacted that as a late teenager.
And then as a gymnastics instructor, repeatedly trying to assault children.
I would, of course, not allege that Sab Samuel has anything else in mind other than just reading his gay kids books to kids about how love has no age, remember?
Nothing weird about that at all.
Okay. Ultimately, the authors propose that drag pedagogy provides a performative approach to queer pedagogy that is not simply about LGBT lives, but living queerly.
Drag Queen Story Hour is to teach your kids to live queerly.
Now, queer in the academic sense, as conceived of by Gail Rubin, who wrote Thinking Sex, that germinated queer theory, who said that we need to de-stigmatise boy love, direct quote, which I nearly got arrested for complaining about outside Conservative Party conference.
Queer means a sort of perpetual internal revolution.
So, if you're gay, right, and gay becomes accepted by society, now that it's decriminalised and even the bloody Church of England are thinking about same-sex unions, then you're now part of the hegemony.
You're not a revolutionary anymore.
Right. You're attracted to the cause.
You've got false consciousness. Which I thought was the idea.
No, not if you're a Marxist revolutionary.
Instead, being queer means that your identity is constantly in flux.
You can invent new pronouns on the day.
You can have a brand new flag every two minutes.
And so, because you can never be captured by the hegemony, because you can never be normalised, you're permanently bringing whatever your marginal desires are into the mainstream.
And so, because you're having a revolution inside, the revolution never stops.
And so you're the perfect constituency for a Marxist revolution.
So this is the undefeated slippery slope argument, is it?
Something's very slippery, definitely.
Unfortunately. Just going back to this.
It may be that Drag Queen's story hour is family-friendly.
Remember that term? They always try and market it as family-friendly.
You're a far-right bigot if you don't bring your kids to see the grown man to work in a dress.
In the sense that it is accessible and inviting to families with children.
But it is less a sanitising force than it is a preparatory introduction to alternate modes of kinship.
Let me just condense that again.
It may be that drag queen storio is family friendly, but it is a preparatory introduction to alternative modes of kinship.
Right. So it's family friendly to bring families to, to then destroy the families.
So we can supplant it with, quite literally, a drag family.
Because they say that in here.
Yeah, so they're rather hoping that families don't read the fine print here, aren't they?
It's not even fine print. This is the leading educational journal pretty much globally.
And this is just out there for anyone to read.
And not many people have.
So again, any time someone questions Drag Queen Story Hour, it's just a bit of fun.
It's just wigs and makeup.
They're just being silly and reading to children.
No, they deliberately want to take children away from their parents.
It's grooming. It's absolutely grooming.
There's no question about it.
Okay. Here, Drag Queen Story Hour is a family-friendly, in the sense of family, as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street.
So they're going to make your kids live queerly, they're going to make sure that they are given the praxis to strategically defy the authority of their parents, then they're going to destigmatise shame regarding what exactly, and then they're going to embody kinship as a replacement from the family with a new drag family of other queers on the street.
Quite obvious what they want to get out of this at the end.
You sound like a far-right bigot to me.
We suggest that Drag Queen Story Hour offers a queer relationality with children that breaks from the reproductive futurity of the normative classroom and nuclear family.
They want to have a queer relationship with your children to break the nuclear family.
Thank you for saying it. Many performers study their craft in an adoptive drag family wherein drag mothers or fathers, sisters, aunties guide their children in anything from how to glue down one's eyebrows to delivering a flawless lip sync.
So it's obviously about supplanting your influence with a drag family.
What do they want to destigmatize?
How close do they want to get to your children?
It ends with a threat.
We're reading books while we read each other's looks, and we're leaving a trail of glitter that won't ever come out of the carpet.
I think they want to get very close to your children.
I mean, they're not going to stop at, you know, three foot distance, are they?
That sounds like... It'd be minus six inches before long if this carries on.
That sounds like indelible emotional and mental scarring.
Won't ever come out of the carpet.
What won't they remember when they de-stigmatise shame?
Okay, so we've got a Baroness in the House of Lords now finally investigating this, so hopefully there's some legislative movement within the UK. I'm just going to read from this letter.
Dear Mr Rudd, please forgive me writing to you at this address, but I could not find one for you as the Chairman of Trustees at Tate Galleries.
And this is Baroness Emma Harriet Nicholson, who's a Conservative and Liberal Democrat peer, and I believe she's one of the chairs of the Women's Committee in the House of Lords.
I expect you're aware of the controversy surrounding the decision to engage a drag queen to read stories to children at Tate Britain during half-term as it featured in the Daily Telegraph on the 19th of January.
Having adults read to children is a wonderful thing, of course.
But why does it have to be a man pretending to be a woman?
Why does it have to be a man who posts on Facebook about anal sex and orgies pretending to be a woman?
Why does it have to be a man who posts on Facebook about anal sex orgies and photographs of themselves in daddy t-shirts pretending to be a woman?
Why does it have to be a man who posts on Facebook about anal sex orgies, photographs of themselves in a daddy t-shirt, whose mission it is to be a role for young queer people pretending to be a woman?
The answer is, apparently, our galleries offer a broad program and visitors have the freedom to choose which aspects they engage with.
This is nonsense on stilts.
These are children. Are they to be offered in entertainment by murderers, paedophiles, terrorists, furries and other fetishists so their parents have to explain why they cannot be left with the kooky, colourful cartoon character they have seen promoted?
If we go on to the next, please, John.
Drag is adult entertainment.
Loose definition of entertainment there.
Advocates for queer ideology are not appropriate role models for young children.
Not even if they are reading a cereal box.
Drag Queen Story Hour is not panto, it is propaganda.
Please reconsider whether or not this is something that Tate should encourage or facilitate.
Right. She is the chair of the parliamentary campaign group for the Women and Children First.
Great letter. Very forthright.
Do something about it. Don't just tell them not to do it.
Because they're receiving publicly funded arts grants.
They're receiving taxpayer money to do this.
So are public libraries. Legislate against it.
Like, I have no truck at this point with the libertarians who are value-apathetic libertarians.
I'd love to live in a libertarian community.
I bloody hate tax. I'd like to live in a Harperian libertarian community where we can kick out all the communists and people who aren't contributing to the civilisation.
But I'm not content a town over to know that children are being routinely abused or subjected to this kind of stuff.
That is the limit of where you say, oh, we can't have a state to infringe on rights.
No, I'm kind of okay with infringing on the rights of literal paedophile drag queens.
I'm okay with that. So, I don't like the state very much, but in this instance, do something about it.
I've literally just read to you the intent of their crimes, right?
Do something about it.
Unfortunately, it's unlikely they'll ever be prosecuted.
Oh, bugger. So don't trust these people.
Don't bring your kids around these people.
We should stop this from happening.
Keep up the protests and keep up the pressure, but it doesn't look like the establishment's on our side.
It looks like they're on the side of the man in a rainbow with a bulge.
Very good, very good segment.
Now, on a lighter note, let's turn our attentions to Mr Clarkson.
Now, we've done a couple of TV segments.
Harry made me watch the Harry and Me Again Netflix special, and you made me watch some, was it Bloody Brookside or something like that?
Oh, Coronation Street. Coronation Street, yes, with the far right guy with the based arguments.
We must disavow, absolutely.
With that, we thoroughly disavow, of course.
And Clarkson, he's another sort of chap that we're going to have to disavow because he's been a very bad boy.
I want to cover that. Before I do, let's mention the premium contemplations, how to spot a liar.
Very useful for your interactions with Meghan Markle.
Yes. Well, there was a reason why I picked that, to go along with the bit about Meghan that I'm about to do.
So, yes. So, previously I covered the Meghan special, and Meghan was basically the one who got Mr Clarkson sort of cancelled across the board from that Sun article, which you can't find online anymore, but I did get an archive link for it.
So this was what got Mr.
Clarkson kicked off of basically everything.
Now, everybody quotes the bit in the middle, which he sort of references Game of Thrones, but actually the rest of the article has some good points in it.
I did like the Rose West comparison.
I didn't think that was... That was the bit that everybody sort of refers to, that bit of the Game of Thrones bit.
But, you know, he starts off, we all know in our heart of hearts that Harold Markle is a slightly dim but fun-loving chin who flew Apache helicopters, gunships in Afghanistan and cavorted around Las Vegas hotel rooms with naked hookers.
But then along came Megan, who used some obviously vivid bedroom promises to turn him into a warrior of woke.
Did you hear about that Harry watched his wife's sex scenes before going on dates with her?
Like he would actually seek them out from suits and watch her shagging other blokes?
That tells you quite a lot about Prince Cuck.
Yes, quite. Now, as Mr Clarkson says, and I think we can resonate with these words, I actually feel rather sorry for him today because he's just a glove puppet with no more control over what he says or does than Basil Brush.
And... Boom, boom. Quite.
He goes on, and this is the bit that caught my attention most of all, was, can't they see everything happening is so obviously pre-planned?
Leave the UK. Blame the royals.
Do an interview with Oprah.
Do a Netflix series. It should be called A Woman Talking Bollocks.
I can see it clearly, the studied pauses, the mock incredulity, and the B-movie soap actress' quivering voice mourns sorrow-than-anger stories that are obviously claptrap, and I can tell you with absolute certainty what is coming next.
Harold's spare book will be released, then she'll do one, called I Think I May Be God, and then she will have exhausted the whole royal thing and she'll be off to marry a tech billionaire.
Do you know what the funny thing is as well?
Around the same time that Harry released his book, Michelle Obama released a book called Becoming, which either sounds like she's ascending to the status of Christ or transitioning.
Again. He was onto something there.
And Clarkson leaves it with Harold meanwhile be stuck in California with no friends either there or here.
Now funnily enough, I don't know if you noticed this, but Markle has been putting out some comments about how despairing she is about the reception to Harry's book and about how he's been made to look rather silly and how it's emotionally impacted her.
I'll be honest, I haven't noticed it because I'm not a middle-aged woman and I don't follow any of these stories.
Well, for whatever reason, people on my Twitter timeline have been talking about that, and I picked up on it because, of course, this is narrative building.
She's obviously going to leave him at some point, and she needs to build the narrative starting now as to why she has to do.
Because she's put upon, yeah. Because she's almost milked him dry at this point.
There's probably not much more she can wring out of this, so...
You know, she's starting to build a narrative as to why she moves on.
Anyway, so Clarkson got himself banned from absolutely everything.
He was dropped by The Sun, he was dropped by ITV, he was cancelled by Amazon for his Clarkson's Farm and Grand Tour.
Now, if you're not familiar with Amazon, so they're a company that, as we've talked about, they don't want to be involved in distributing anything that somebody somewhere might find offensive.
So they stick to selling non-offensive items such as...
Mein Kampf, the Communist Manifesto, and it takes a village by Hillary Clinton.
So they always steer clear of controversy, but they had already paid for this season, so obviously they're not going to lose money.
No, they're not going to put principles ahead of money, so they decided to go ahead and show it.
Here's the trailer. If you can't go on, you know what I mean?
Yeah, we're better, yeah. What? Here's my plan.
Cows. No, no, no.
Stop it! I'm being attacked by a cow!
Cows might get tuberculosis because of all the badgers.
You can't shoot them. Nope.
You can't just hit it with a hammer.
No, you absolutely do not just hit it with a hammer.
My next plan...
You can eat cock.
Okay, more chillies.
I'm going to try.
Oh, man, I feel it for you.
Oh, man.
That is fantastic.
Welcome to agriculture, health and safety.
No, no, no!
Ah! Oh my god!
I had to clear up the dog shit while my sausages were cooking.
You're down to your shit. Honestly.
What a shit. Drop me off over there.
Where? Just by the red carpet.
I'm not dropping me by the red carpet.
Why? I am not your chauffeur.
Don't park the car. Shut up.
The restaurant's a huge amount of work.
This whole menu is basically a beef menu.
Everything's ready to go.
I just need West Oxford District Council to say, good idea.
The applicant's conduct is shameful.
It indicates a, give me an inch and I'll take a mile latitude.
I like a beer on a hot day.
I like the smell of beer. Yeah.
Couple of these off your mouth with the pickled onions or something.
Like the ag burberry is in it, innit?
Wise words. Wise words.
Have you been following this one, Colin?
I haven't seen the second season yet, because I had a bit of a busy weekend, and my dad made me promise to wait to watch it until the end of the week.
So I love the first season, though.
We did sit through it, and I think it's one of the single best cases for why bureaucracy is acid to the Englishman having his own quiet life.
Oh, it is. I mean, there were so many examples.
I mean, you won't have seen in the second series, so spoiler alert, but at one point he digs a hole.
Right. And then he takes the dirt from it and he dumps it in a slightly different location and his farm manager comes along and says, well, you're going to need a permit for that.
Paul put upon Charlie, the farm manager, who...
Yes. He does his best, but he is hamstrung by all the imbeciles of the council.
Funny enough, this is Oxfordshire council, and I don't know if it's the exact same people, but I do know that when the 15 Mini Cities thing happened, the Oxford council came out and did a video looking like they were about to be shot by Kim Jong-un up against a white wall.
Saying, it's just disinformation and misinformation.
It's a conspiracy theory to say that we're putting up traffic barriers or bollards when you literally did later on.
They're just a few cameras to ease congestion.
Pay no attention, citizen, to the rulers in Davos confiscating your car.
It's just mental.
Yeah, we did a segment on that.
It is slightly suspicious how certain international bodies got a large amount of fundings and all of a sudden the council woke up one day and suddenly decided that they'd had an idea to implement the Davos theme.
But yeah, I mean, it's not just the bureaucracy.
I mean, the bureaucracy is a huge aspect of this, but I mean, it's the weather, it's the supermarkets crushing the farmers on price.
The government are policing rules on just about everything.
I gave you the dirt example, but I mean every episode there is, you know, he puts a fence up and he needs a permit for that, or he tries to do this, or he tries to, even on his own land, wholly own land that nobody ever goes on, you need a permit for it.
I don't know if you ever reduced to speaking to foreign types, but I was chatting to an Australian the other day, and when he wanted to sort of lightly take the piss out of me, he would say things like, have you got a permit for that, mate?
Because that is what we are like in this country.
We need a permit for bloody everything.
One of the most egregious stories I remember covering on GB News quite a while ago, must have been last year, was Geronimo the alpaca.
Do you remember that? No. George Eustace ordered the equivalent of an airstrike on the poor bloody thing, and they killed this adorable alpaca, and then they were asking to do an inquest afterwards because, well, it was likely that it didn't have TB, and you would have found it in the autopsy, and DEFRA just closed the lid on it.
They shipped off to Area 51 or something because it was such an embarrassment, but government just kills innocent alpacas for no reason.
Well, I mean, not only that, but they appear to be crushing the farming industry.
Yeah. Another reason why I like this article, we got something here from the Metro.
Right. So, I mean, the feedback apparently from farmers has been absolutely blistering support.
So, sheep farmer and author Jamie Rebank says, Clarkson has done more for farmers than Countryfile achieved in 30 years.
I can report back from the farming community, they all loved it.
They loved it. Much better presenter as well.
Yeah, I mean, it's engaging, and he's not necessarily going out there trying to make a sort of ANCAP utopia argument.
No. But you just see how impossible it is to sort of run any type of business, especially farming, With the rules and restrictions we've got these days.
And there's additional stuff in the second season that you won't have seen, because you would have seen lots of stuff in the first season.
But in the second season, the Badger element gets introduced to this as well.
They were noisy teenagers in the first season, and now they're all on his land, are they?
Well, the big problem is he gets cows.
Right. And some poor woman who's got a farm just up the road from him, dairy cows, unlike the sort of meaty, juicy, delicious cows that he's got.
But she had 60 dairy cows and half of them had to be destroyed.
Well, so far in the series, half of them have been destroyed because a badger has gone and humped its leg or whatever it is they do.
And given the cow TB. I'll risk it.
Not being funny. Most of the best authors wrote great stuff while they're on TB. John Keats, George Orwell.
I love a cough and a steak.
Don't care. I don't know what it does to milk, but it's a bit extreme that you can't even defend yourselves from them when badgers are not an endangered species anymore, even though this is all classified as such.
So, I mean, that poor woman's farm was on the verge of going out of business unless she could sell to Clarkson's restaurant.
Which would be just enough to keep a head above water.
So he goes to huge expense in setting up a restaurant and he takes it to the council.
And again, spoiler alert, but, well, they do the councilly thing.
They don't give him planning permission.
And recently he's been ordered to shut shop, as Josh covered on a weekend segment.
I mean, there's a remarkable section in the council meeting where some bloke argues against it by saying that it might cause a bit of light pollution.
And he really likes going outside and looking up at the dark sky.
Sad bastard. But this is how everything is shut down.
Another interesting thing about the restaurant bit as well is he has to get permission from all these agencies and one of them is the Outstanding Beauty Society or whatever the bloody hell it is and the other one is the police.
I was going to say the people on the council, I don't understand how they're sitting on the Outstanding Beauty Society.
I'm probably misremembering the name exactly.
It's the areas of natural beauty thing, but the physiognomy of these people would indicate that they wouldn't know beauty if it hit them in the face.
Good point, but no, the police say, well, we can only approve this if you put in extra lighting, and the outstanding beauty people say, well, if there's any extra lighting, we can't approve it.
And that's the state of British bureaucracy at this point.
And we've got this video, and this one's actually from the first season, of Charlie, the farm manager, explaining to Clarkson basically how perilous it is for British farmers.
Now Clarkson had been operating this farm for a year at this point.
Now he's probably not the most competent of farmers, But his co-host most certainly is.
And he is also probably in the best place to take a financial hit because he came into it with a large fortune before he decided to basically retire very actively.
And he makes that point. And Clarkson has no shortage of capital equipment to invest into his farm.
So if he can't make at least some sort of profit anyway.
So he spent a year on it and he made £144 in his first year.
And that was despite producing considerable goods.
So let's watch this video. So, the fact of the matter is this.
Farming seven days a week for a year on a 1,000-acre farm has generated an income of £144.
Correct. Fortunately, the moment we have this subsidy, when that goes, What are farmers going to do?
I mean, honestly, what are they going to do?
The ones who don't have Anderson film because he's farming around and who wants to be a millionaire to top up the income.
I mean, what do you do when these subsidies start to go down?
There's going to be a sea change to the rural, you know, the countryside.
There'll be 30% less farmers, probably.
That seems to be an intentional government policy, because recently the British government were paying farmers to retire?
Yep. How odd.
And then the Dutch, obviously, have had their Dutch farmers protests recently.
Oh, he's open war on Dutch farmers at the moment.
Well, they were confiscating all of their land because of nitrogen emissions.
Though they weren't, the Americans who have been thinking about similar net zero policies haven't been stopping the Chinese or Bill Gates from Becoming the largest owner of farmland in their country.
It just seems that certain people are allowed to own all the farmland.
The exact type that wants to medicate cattle and make sure you only eat bugs and synthetic meat.
But then other people, like patriots, like Jeremy Clarkson, oh no, you've got to operate at a hemorrhaging loss.
And if you've had a farm across your family generations, well, we'll just give you a little bit of retirement money and you can scarp a peasant.
It doesn't matter. Your ancestors have cultivated the beauty of the rolling hills of the British countryside.
No, no, no. We're going to concrete it over because Tom Harwood says so.
Well, and this is the reason why I wanted to make this segment because I've talked before about energy policy and about how the British government has basically taken us to the point where we are reliant on energy imports in order to make it through.
This winter particularly because we're reliant on wind for a lot of our energy production and it doesn't always...
No. So that means we're basically reliant on the French nuclear power stations to support us.
And the reason this is so fundamental, it's a point I keep coming back to in Brokernomics, is the base tier of any economy is energy and agriculture.
Everything else is built on top of those two things and you can swap around the components within those you know that anything that is built on top of this you know if you're not you know if washing machines go out of favor then you start producing forklift trucks on the good side I mean with services if hand jobs aren't in vogue and try hairdressing or accountancy or whatever it is you can swap around the goods and services mix but if you're not producing food and energy Your economy is keyed below the waterline before you even get going.
You must have these elements.
This was the MAGA agenda that Trump brought in.
He immediately tariffed the Chinese to an equal level that the Chinese were tariffing the Americans, so they reached mutually assured destruction.
He took all the money and used it to subsidize American agriculture because America, if they produce, they can produce all their own food internally if it's run the right way.
I'm not big on farm subsidies, but if you're getting screwed over in trade and you need to be protectionist because you're based on a wartime footing, it seems like a sensible policy.
He was also the first president to make America entirely energy self-sufficient since Nixon set forth the mandate in the 70s, and they were a net oil exporter to the point of where they were destabilizing the price under OPEC, and it was...
About a dollar a gallon versus now it's reaching up to nine, ten dollars.
And at the same time, curiously running counter to the climate narrative, America between 2017 and 2019, despite withdrawing from the expensive Paris Climate Accord negotiations, they were the leading nation in reducing their emissions year on year because they were making and using their own gas.
And isn't it just convenient that Trump lost that election?
It's really sad. And then Biden starts doing gas again after closing off the Keystone XL and then using his son's investment firm to sell to Sinopec, the Chinese state-owned gas procurer.
Oh dear. It's almost like they want to demolish the petrodollar and make all Americans and Brits by extension servants.
The thing is, at least if it does come to that, America has got basically the best start that you could hope for in civilisations.
I mean, they've got lots of commodities, they've got lots of farming land, they've got lots of energy.
They can survive by themselves.
Western Europe is a different situation.
We do need to get our energy house in order.
But the one thing we have got going for us, we can produce enough agriculture.
We can at least feed ourselves.
And yet there's that war on farmers that is taking place across Western Europe at the moment.
And you mentioned not liking farm subsidies.
Now, I agree on a conceptual basis of that.
Yeah, in principle. The problem is, is that these farmers have got huge amounts of regulations and rules and red tapes placed upon them.
And basically, you can have one or the other.
You can have all of those regulations, but if you do that, you're going to need to subsidize them.
Or you can clear out the subsidies and you can get rid of all those rules and regulations.
That sounds wonderful to me and to most farmers, frankly.
I think it would be, because that's the key issue that Clarkson and his neighbours are coming across, is they've got these cheaper Eastern European imports coming in all the time, where they're not hamstrung by all this red tape and this nonsense, and have you got a permit for doing this, and have you got a permit for digging a hole, and so they can actually economically operate.
And look, if we're going to have this, and I don't think that we necessarily are going to get rid of all of these rules.
I would like to think that we can.
It's probably not going to happen.
But if we're not going to do that, you know, we could address this tomorrow.
The British Parliament could pass a law that says that they're going to add 2.5% charge to everything sold in the supermarket, all foodstuff products sold in the supermarket, that do not originate within the UK. Now, I did some back-of-the-envelope numbers on what this might generate, and it would be more than enough to completely offset all of the EU subsidies that are going and give you an extra billion on top.
So you'd have about four billion that you could disperse to British farmers.
So then, you know, you would have British farmers who have got a baseline of support.
You could still have your city regulations and rules that you want to impose upon that make them less competitive, and you'd make foreign imports of food that little bit less competitive.
You could even do a built-in Britain vac cart or something like that.
There are many ways that you could get around this, and you could incentivise the British farming industry to continue to exist that will give us that surety, that confidence that we can't be cut off, so that in some future political game, because I mean, you know, at the moment we're having our energy supply severely restricted.
It is easy to imagine that world events in 10, 15 years, maybe even five years time could turn so that we don't have that food input.
Why is the British government leaving us in a situation where we are dependent on foreign powers for energy and food?
This is absolutely bonkers.
This series It illustrates it so well.
I know it's done very well over here in the UK. It's not done quite so well in the US, so if you're an American watching this, do go and watch it on Amazon if you haven't already cancelled your account and get your friends to watch as well.
We can't endorse pirating at all.
That would be illegal. Yeah, yes.
Can't do that as well.
But yeah, that's definitely an option.
And so it's very sad that this will be going, although Clarkson has been dropping some hints.
So he was responding to somebody on Twitter who was making fun of him that this would be the last series, and he came back with, it isn't the last series, don't worry.
I believe they've already got the filming for Season 3 in the can.
Ah, right.
That will explain it again. Amazon is not going to lose money on something they've already paid out for, so...
Except for the rings of power.
So, come on British government, sort it out, protect our farmers, or at least stop putting so many bloody rules on them.
Before we go to the video comments, can I just express my hatred at the builders outside their abject balance?
So for those who don't know, Swindon's a horrible place and they're concreting over everything and they're building some kind of bus station and all we can ever hear, despite the soundproofing put in our studio, is drilling and whining and whirring and a literal jackhammer as we're trying to write our art of school.
So... We do labour under duress here to bring you the best content.
Swindon Council is very interesting.
They've obviously got an absolutely massive capital budget and they're digging up every single road in Swindon in order to, I don't know, put a secret bunker under it for the WEF people or whatever it is they're doing.
I think they're going to need one because, frankly, Swindon would look better if you dropped a bomb on it.
Because for anyone who hasn't seen, go on Google Maps and look at Swindon train station.
Look at the monolithic shoebox concrete catastrophe stacked on top of it.
It's all empty office buildings with the giant National Rail logo on top.
It looks like the kind of things that vampires from I Am Legend would call out of the ceiling.
It's horrible. But my point is that they've got this absolutely massive capital budget, but clearly no revenue budget, because everywhere you walk into the window, and this is quite remarkable, there is pigeon shit everywhere.
I mean, just gallons of it running off the walls, across the floor.
I mean, I've never seen so much pigeon shit in all my life.
Maybe it'll start to lessen, because the migrants are going to poach them and start roasting them in the open street.
Well, we've certainly got enough of those.
we have to walk past on our way into town to get our lumps so we can only hope that they go to war those two Alright, on to the video comments go on John So, all that trans waffle about Hogwarts, all it really did was serve to hide the bigger crime one committed against us all The inexcusable and inexplicable inclusion of fedoras.
I find it very difficult to take the insult of fedoras, which are cringe, from a man who goes to cigar lounges.
Come on! I like the Gillet, though.
Well, he looks like Macklemore and Thrift Shop.
If you could, sir, can post down low-low and let me know, I can get one of those.
You should kill your own bear for it.
Next. These over-the-top events in an attempt to distract the public like these UFO events really feels like they're desperate and overplaying their hand.
So, that's a bit of good news if you ask me.
Robo-waifu, who is your Valentine?
Callum, dispute!
Aw, how adorable.
I'll go tell Callum that you love him.
Callum, the robot loves you!
Are you doing anything for tonight?
Not taking the wife out because it's too busy?
Well, the thing is, we've also got kids as well, so I'm trying to get a table for four, two of which would then spend the whole time running around screeching, probably pushing a little bit.
Yeah, it'd be a very, very quiet night.
You know, I might treat it as a takeaway, perhaps.
Just Eat shares going up.
Next! So, on the subject of turning brain-dead women into womb donors, Does anyone here remember the Benny Tylaxu from the Dune series that would turn women into big flesh vats called X-Doll tanks, which they used to produce clones and gholas and other horrible abominations?
Anytime you saw a clone in that series, that's where it came from.
We truly live in a wondrous future.
I mean, I guess on the bright side, men have now scientifically circumnavigated the women problem.
It's now going to be the straightest world imaginable.
I mean, the straightest world imaginable would just be dude, so that...
Isn't that really gay? That's a bit of a paradox, isn't it?
I kind of don't... Don't get me wrong.
Women are a pain in my life.
I kind of don't want to circumnavigate the women problem because...
No. Well, making the babies is half the fun.
So... Yes. They're quite good at that.
Yeah, I don't want to technologically erase my own hobby.
Thank you very much. Next.
Carl, I've written a book you must read.
It's about math. But it will change your understanding of history, economics, politics, religion, everything.
Dean's book will be released to buy soon, and I'd say it will be well worth the purchase.
Kindly, he consented to send me a pre-release copy to read and review.
As with my review of The Origins of Totalitarianism, which I finished just before starting his tome, the review will be broken up into digestible segments and can be found in the video comment section just below this podcast.
The book is huge, and I am not a quick reader, especially with technical matter, but I found the phenomenon fascinating.
Sounds like a rounding endorsement.
I know you're doing Brokonomics on a book today, doing your first interview.
Yeah, I'm doing Brokonomics a little bit later on this bit scanned about digital IDs, so that'll be an interesting interview.
But no, I'll check out that one, whatever it was.
I'll dig out the link later on.
Wonderful. Okay, on to the written comments, which they're not loading for me for some reason.
Yeah, I had to refresh my page before I got on.
Okay, I'll give it another attempt.
So, column from Caleb Bork.
Good day, Kings. Long-time follower of Sargon.
I recently dumped my Daily Wire subscription and started giving you my hard-earned money instead.
I must say, your premium content is higher quality than you guys led us to believe.
Keep up the Lord's work.
When he said dumped, I thought, considering it was Valentine's Day, we were about to shell out our sympathies.
But cheers for signing up, mate. Well done.
Good to have you aboard. On the Biden bombs Germany section, BasedApe says, called it.
The moment it happened, I called for American solstion stationed in Europe to be rounded up and shipped back.
There should be a strong and clear message from Europe that will be zero tolerance policy when it comes to America turning Europe into its new Middle East.
And it's weapon manufacturing churning out money.
I'm calling it now America will not allow this war to end.
It's been going on for a tense 20 years in Europe.
Well, yeah, I mean, to be very clear, it is the American state, not America in general.
I mean, American people are lovely.
Well, at least the ones that aren't Democrats anyway.
But no, we love the American people.
We consider it a great kinship with them.
But yes, your state is disappointing.
Well, peacetime isn't very profitable for the military-industrial complex.
Yeah, there will always be a war somewhere, certainly.
Yeah, they've literally shot presidents for their bottom line.
Yeah, and of course the FDR comments on his way out the door as well.
Those are always worth listening to about the military-industrial complex.
Eisenhower. Was it Eisenhower?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was his speech.
Yes, no, you're quite right, Eisenhower.
Mr Silver says, it wouldn't surprise me that the US would abuse their supposed allies for geopolitical aims.
If we can recall when the Obama admin spied on Mama Merkel and Biden leaving Afghan security service personnel high and dry, I don't think anyone would seriously say that Russia would destroy their own bargaining piece with Europe.
It almost entirely guarantees escalation.
yes Mr Rat says, I'm less worried about USA's power and more worried about its integrity.
Shameful behaviour. Mr Narog says, it shouldn't impress me, but it does shock me.
How can the Democrats blatantly say something and not be held accountable for it whatsoever, even international acts of wars, it seems.
Someone hasn't been paying attention to the US politics.
That's just kind of the rules of the game for the Democrats, isn't it?
I mean, what came of the Joe Biden intercept thing?
Oh, that's right. We had the Twitter hearings and AOC postulate about lips of TikTok and absolutely no one's been thrown in prison yet.
Nothing ever happens yet.
Mr. Swanson says there may be enough Ukraine enablers on the Republican side to keep funneling money.
Wouldn't be surprised, unfortunately.
The Freedom Caucus is doing very well, though.
Well done to all those fellas who met with Tim Paul and did the impromptu congressional interview with him.
That was actually very interesting.
Byron Donelson and Matt Gaetz.
So that was good. Mr Hap says, anybody with basic reasoning skills knew that it was the US who blew up Nord Stream.
What's more interesting is why the EU hadn't realised that the US was doing a lot to destabilise them in the last 20 years, including the bombing of Syria and the current money drain, which is the Ukraine conflict.
The EU is falling miserably in this game of empires.
Yeah, Europe used to be a player in the great game, and now they've become a pawn, and they don't seem to have even appreciated it.
They seem to have no conception of what's going on around them, no conception of history or anything else.
Joan of Arc. Now, interestingly, quite slight detail, Joan of Arc, having seen Greta Thunberg...
Where is this going?
Well, it just makes me re-examine the historical character of Joan of Arc.
That's quite interesting. Yeah, because, you know, how will future historians look at Greta Thunberg as somebody who sort of pioneered this and did all itself and led all these people?
You know, it won't be that different to the Joan of Arc story.
Yeah, the histrionic anointed one, yes.
Yes, I wonder what really happened with Joan of Arc.
You know, was she actually a sort of 14-year-old who spoke to power, or was she somebody's puppet, and if so, whose?
I refuse to believe God would ever be on the side of the French.
Yeah, that sounds reasonable.
Anyway, the person with the screen name, Jonah Mark, says, my issue with this article about the pipeline is its reliance on anonymous sources.
After that phrase was abused entirely during the Trump administration.
It seems rather hypocritical to trust anonymous sources.
Depends on the outlet. Yeah, so that is true, and that is why I went to so much trouble to build up Mr Hurst's credibility on all this.
And you can imagine that it does have to be anonymous, because this is clearly somebody within the tent that has leaked this, and they would be suicided if it was obvious who had done it.
I mean, there's no question. They would either be put into a maximum security prison for the rest of the life, or they would be suicided.
So I can understand what they have to do.
And the amount of detail, of operational level detail, Is why the authorities are having to ignore the story rather than confront it, because basically it rings true.
And why would somebody have that level of detail?
So, suitable pushback, but yeah, I think there really is something in this.
Did you hear about the Clinton associate, a guy called Mark Middleton, who was connected to Jeffrey Epstein last year, who was found hanging himself from a tree and had somehow had a shotgun blast to his chest?
Yes. Yes, that sounds about it.
I mean, there have been so many Clinton associates who have died over the years.
That's a conspiracy theory. One sort of loses track.
I mean, this is an age-old story.
You know, power has always done this.
A bit like, you know, that guy from the film 300, the Spartan champ?
Yes, King Leonidas. Yeah, Leonidas.
Except in real life, that Leonidas was basically two people because between the...
Between the envoy coming and the army turning up, there was like 40 years between those two events.
So these things happen slowly.
Anyway, the original Leonidas, he upset the power balance in Sparta and he was basically found in a sack behind the ruling building with his arms, legs and head cut off.
Anyway, so the elites at the time, they did an inquiry and ruled it was a suicide.
So, you know, this sort of thing has happened for many a year.
You've got to keep an eye on these sort of powerful characters.
Mr. Howell says, whatever the outcome, the only thing that would stop World War III in the short term is the arrest of Dietz State operatives, Biden and Victoria in Newland.
Well, they're certainly crooked.
That would help. Mr.
Ward says, three months previous to detonation makes me wonder how many other contingency plans the US have in place to destroy other people's infrastructure.
Yes, good point. Miss Hederson says, Germany and Russia being in direct conflict.
Oh boy, haven't seen that before.
That's surely a new thing. Socialist Germany versus Communist Russia.
Nope, has never happened before, surely.
Yes, well, we do currently have, of course, German tanks rolling across Poland on their way to fight Russia, so...
You know, perhaps there are other things that might be novel.
Mr. French has a long comment, but let me just pick out the bit.
Germany has proved a very good tool for the US in preventing European countries from getting powerful enough to pose the US. Already before World War II, the US had their sights on Germany.
Germany has been the US go-to for control over Europe, tricking de Gaulle into joining the energy alliance that eventually became the EU. Yes.
Obviously, the global hegemon of the time wants to manipulate lesser powers.
It would just be nice if Germany didn't go along with their own destruction quite so willingly and enthusiastically.
And finally, Lord Navarre says, in fairness, it wouldn't be a build-up to a world war without some wacky antics surrounding Germany.
We're on the warpath now. Yes, tragically, we do seem to be slipping towards that.
It's not good. Carbohydrate Crusader.
I think the House of Lords will likely be grandfathered out in some way to some sort of elective body when the Labour Party obviously gets in at the next election and we're chased out of the country, probably. Do I think the gender stuff is, well, I think it's been a shock too far.
The only tragic thing is that how many children like Chloe Cole or adults like Richie Heron or even ones that didn't have surgical interventions, you know, I know a girl who was socially transitioned and it's been very difficult for her coming out of that.
How many people had to suffer and become public examples just because these fetishes wanted access to your kids and they wanted them to mutilate themselves and turn them into eunuch sex dolls?
That is the great tragedy of modernity is that we have to have living examples of The depravity of these people in order to snap people out of it.
Because for some reason people just wouldn't listen to preventative measures.
It's horrible. Is it going to run out of fumes soon?
Hopefully. At least we're going to bifurcate more and more.
But the ability to prevent it totally is reliant on anyone with any legislative power listening.
And currently there are a bunch of boomer truthers who are very slow to mobilize it.
Unless you word it as...
This is infringing on women's rights.
Like, we can't speak biological truth.
We can't protect children. No, no, it has to be about the women.
That's it. And don't get me wrong, I'm happy to protect upstanding women.
It's kind of a job of a man.
But I am sick that we're just reverting back to 2014 feminism.
Like, children are literally having their nuts and breasts cut off.
What the hell is wrong with you? It's enraging.
Oh, speaking of which. Rue the day.
Righteously angry Connor is my favourite Connor.
I get it's harrowing for you to be aware of the satanic degeneracy and be able to do little about it, because the law is on their side.
But the fire and brimstone rage is so refreshing for me to hear from a young man.
It gives us hope for us and our children yet.
I was actually having a conversation with a friend of mine who...
Well, I can't say what he wants to do, but he wants to be engaged in making reform from the inside.
And he was saying, I've been torn between that and doing something media related.
And I said, frankly, not because we don't want more rivals in the space, because we like more voices, but I think we've almost reached peak content.
Like, not everyone needs a show. What we need is pragmatic-minded people who are willing to keep their heads down and not seek fame, but also willing to be listening to us to enact change from the inside.
And at the same time, you won't do yourself a disservice watching Brokonomics, for example, and being discerning in what you choose to invest in yourself, because nothing you give is financial advice, and having yourself a nice little family.
And if you haven't kickstarted a relationship, well, today might be the perfect day to do it.
So, give it a go.
Lord Nerevar, when thinking about Drag Queen Story Hour and recoiling in horror at how degenerate it is, I want everyone to remember that it's wholeheartedly endorsed by the ruling classes, and the behaviour demonstrated is vehemently encouraged by almost all facets of your child's life.
If you're a parent, grandparent, uncle or aunt, it is your responsibility, no, your duty to push back for the sake of the kids.
Obviously. Arizona Desert Rat.
In the USA, paedophiles tend to get the ever-loving life beaten out of them in prison.
They typically have to be kept in a separate wing.
Now, does the same thing happen in the UK? If the alphabet community wants to distance themselves from the term groomer, why do they continue to allow people like this into their community?
Yeah, it's actually not the prisons themselves that's the problem, because lots of the prisons have been abused as kids, so they immediately wish to revenge themselves on what standing in front of them is, the phantom representation of their dad, stepdad, mom, whatever.
It's the parole boards. The parole boards are captured by this weird, progressive, Foucauldian impression that prisons themselves are oppression and the capital punishment is too barbaric.
Absolutely, yeah.
If you are one of these types and you end up in jail, you need to be kept away from the general population because quite a lot of them turn up dead.
And another thing they tend to do is they tend to...
...mix sugar into their kettles because they can get the water significantly above 100 degrees and then...
Scald them. Yeah, they get the Jeffrey Dahmer treatment with the old dumbbell.
Oh no! Anyway, Taffy Duck.
Happy to say I've protested a particular freak.
Go Google his charity in the business of the same name Drag Queen Story L UK Limited.
Information openly available in Companies House.
Quite strange here's a business and a charity.
Must be very tax efficient. Cough.
Worth looking into at some point.
Someone online, remember what James Lindsay says, don't allow them to have a drag Floyd.
Protect your own children and stay out of jail.
That's actually just happened in the UK. A 16-year-old school kid who was trans-identified was apparently beaten to death by bullies.
That's still a burgeoning case that's happening, so we'll have to keep an eye on that one.
But you know they will use it for the online harms bill, somehow.
And the US, they want a drag Floyd because they want an ability to riot and kick off again.
Well, I mean, that sounds absolutely awful.
I mean, that is genuinely dreadful.
But I think you're right.
They will use that one to promote the agenda.
What they will not use is, for example, that poor girl was held down by four Afghan child asylum seekers of definitely not questionable age whatsoever and gang rapes.
Yes, that one won't tickle the interest of the legislators.
So it is only very select crimes that capture their attention.
Yeah, unfortunately, young teenage girls are casualties for the mass migration agenda.
They are, aren't they? On to Clarkson's stuff, then.
Yes, Mr Fox says a very suitable name.
The government needs us dependent on foreign, mainly European, food imports, so it'll be easier for Ramonas to get back into the EU. Did you ever hear about that EU lawyer who, on Boxing Day, put out that tweet about going outside in his garden with a kimono and a cricket bat and beating Fox to death?
Yeah, because the fox got trapped or something and the fox was trying to leave and this guy absolutely hates leavers and so he was so incensed he had to beat him to death while in his wife's nightie or whatever it was.
Mr Navarre with another characteristically long comment.
I've heard Clarkson's local council described as a cartel and having seen what they've done to him I can't really disagree.
We have a similar issue where I live but it's the other way round.
The council here wants to build a skate park right over our wooded area for miles.
And the idea is insanely unpopular, but the council is steaming ahead regardless.
Yes, they're very selective on what they feel must be protected and what must not be.
And it was quite clear from the sort of footage that we saw that, you know, these people just from Guardian readers who hate Clarkson, which is, again, one of the reasons why I kind of like the chap.
Mr. Beagle says, I think the problem is that farmers are facing as children discouraged from working, manual labour and trades, as such you end up with a massive amount of people that never worked a hard day in their lives.
And spend all day thinking rules to satisfy their own egos.
One of the best things I ever did was work in repeated summers with my granddad who was a builder since he was 15 and only retired last year due to arthritis.
I wrote a little article about him called National Neurology actually, so go and give that a read if you're so inclined.
And my uncle, his son, who has his own landscape gardening business and makes quaint little gardens.
And it isn't just the meditative labour that you do because you just sort of switch your brain off and you're breaking rocks, but also as you're constructing something beautiful over time, It's far more immediate and you're contented knowing it's of use to someone versus just tapping out an article, shoving it out and hoping it goes out into the world and you never get the feedback.
It's very different working here in the information economy because we get to chat to you guys all the time.
We get so much feedback. But back when I was freelancing, money was fine.
But if I had sent an article off to Daily Express or something, well, unless it hit front page and your Twitter was blowing up, you wouldn't know how it was received.
It's much better to build a nice little garden that someone can have as a corner of the world to relax in.
Yes, very true. And Maureen Peter says, according to some leaked documents, they're planning to use a farmer's land in the Netherlands for building more refugee centres.
Of course they are. Yeah, there's another angle to that Dutch thing as well.
Also, they've got some new city concept.
Not the 15 minutes here, but the connected city, techno city.
I'll look into it and maybe do a segment on it.
Is it the smart city? Smart cities, that's smart.
Yeah, okay, so what they're trying to do is they're trying to seed 5G into the actual tarmac, like smart particles, so then that links up with facial recognition cameras and the amount of cars driving over the road.
So you're just getting constant data from everyone's literal movements.
It's a really harebrained scheme, but they're convinced they can do it, so it'll be worth us doing a segment on it.
And all of this data will, of course, be used to enhance our lifestyle and make sure that we do exactly what we're told.
Yeah, and we never have anything confiscated whatsoever.
Yeah, and Mr Beagle says, Clarkson should be applauded for highlighting the idiocracy that poor farmers have to face and the corporatism of farming.
Irish farmers are facing similar issues, but thankfully their lobby is massive and influential.
Sadly, the same couldn't be said about the fishermen.
Yeah, the way the fishermen have been treated.
This bloody government.
I mean, the way that they've done.
And the best that we're going to come up with, of course, is saying, OK, well, let's just give Labour a try, who will do exactly...
All of the same stuff.
And worse. And worse, yeah.
So the British farmers, fishermen, I mean everybody, we're all just going to get shat on from a great height for a continuing reason.
Anyway, let's try and be up to me about all this sort of stuff.
Do you want to do a couple of honorable mentions?
Yeah, can do before we wrap up. Edward Woodstock.
Honestly, I have to commend Dan's suggestion in Flashman.
It is by far one of the greatest series of historical novels you can get.
Flashman himself is an utter bastard and unrepentant coward, but somehow you find yourself rooting for him despite this.
It's a shame we never got the American Civil War book.
And someone online just says, if it makes you guys feel better, your microphones aren't picking up any of the construction stuff.
Well, it doesn't make me feel better, considering the size of my ears.
I hear every bloody detail.
I know what they've been talking about on their bloody tea break.
Anyway. You have got them on widescreen, certainly.
Thank you very much. So does your gut.
Happy Valentine's Day all!
Thanks for, as always Dan, good show.
Absolute pleasure. Check out Brokonomics coming out at 3 o'clock and Comics Corner coming out at 5 o'clock tomorrow and go sign off and spend the evening with a special someone or cry about it if you don't have anyone.
We're back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
Thank you very much and goodbye.
