	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Years for the 3rd of March 2023.
	I'm joined by Harry. Hello!
	And what day is it? Not just the 3rd.
	What day is it? Of the week.
	Of the week. Suntag.
	That's not right. Today we're going to be talking about the problem with the...
	That's the wrong note. I've messed up again.
	I've loaded the notes from yesterday.
	Wow, well done. I'm like, hang on a minute, I've done that podcast.
	The grass has too many white people in it.
	I've heard this one before. No, no, today, today, much more interesting topics.
	New frontiers of the news.
	Ooh. Where we turn fact into reality.
	And then turn it into entertainment for all of you folks at home.
	The red carpet for fact has been laid out.
	I've been watching so much Brass I Menace.
	Great. Anyway, but the lockdown files we're talking about today, also Clarkson's Farm Wars, and I demand to be taken seriously, screams one lunatic.
	Well, not just one, a lot of lunatics I'm going to go through.
	The world is full of lunatics.
	Yeah, especially EE. Wonderful company.
	We shall begin. The lockdown files have been released, in case you don't know what I'm talking about.
	All the texts between all the ministers have been leaked, so we can literally see what they were talking about at the time.
	It's not looking good. It's pretty nice, actually.
	This is beautiful. It's nice to be vindicated, but it's not good for what it says about the British establishment, other than everything that we knew it was for the past three years.
	Well, that's the nice thing about all this.
	We'll go through it, but... Everything you thought about these people is actually reality.
	That's all that's come out from this.
	At least what's been publicly released from the newspaper.
	I hate being vindicated every single time.
	Why do I have to be right so much?
	Let's start us just by plugging something on Lotuses.com, being Robert Conquest's reflections on a ravaged century, in which we and Carl went through the years of the 20th century.
	Not a good one. Yeah, but the funny thing is you go into the leaders individually of each of the socialist countries and they're as retarded as you think they are.
	And then we go back to our so-called capitalist countries in today and, yeah, they're as retarded as you think they are.
	They're exactly the goddamn same.
	We'll start off with the news, which is the Talk TV had the rightist journal on, Isabel over here, who was the one who got all the messages and leaked them.
	Do you want to know how she got hold of those 100,000 WhatsApp messages?
	Some kind of subterfuge.
	Russian intelligence, I bet.
	I bet it was Russian spy network hacking.
	No, the former health minister was in charge.
	Just gave it to her. Matt Hancock.
	Yeah. So is he working for the Russians?
	The Russians have got to be involved somehow, Callum.
	Just make it make sense.
	The Russians have to be involved somewhere.
	She was Russian to print the news.
	But, yeah, no, I don't understand the reasoning.
	Apparently it was something to do with writing a book or something, but either way, the health minister, who everyone thinks is a bastard, who was cheating on his wife while telling us that we all had to be locked in our homes, Big brain.
	He said there was absolutely no public interest case for such a huge breach because all the material used in the Pandemic Diaries book was given over to the COVID-19 public inquiry.
	Now, do you remember what Dominic Cummings said about Liz Truss?
	That she used to be like a cabinet hand grenade.
	They would talk about all this stuff that's supposed to be kept under wraps and she'd immediately just go and talk to the press about it.
	Yeah. This is like that so much worse.
	But I know Matt Hancock got disgraced and has been about, I don't know, just did, uh...
	What was it? He was in the jungle for a bit.
	I forget that that happened.
	This is so stupid. Oh, we live in clown world.
	I'm a celebrity, are you?
	Like, you're a celebrity adulterer, but that's about it.
	I mean, for the caliber of celebrity that shows up on I'm a Celebrity, then kind of yes.
	So he handed over all these texts and she went, thanks for that, I'm a journalist, I'm going to publish those.
	Good work! Good work, Isabelle.
	Thank you. Thank you for doing so.
	Yeah, the defence being, well don't you know there's a state-mandated inquiry that's going to manage this?
	You don't have to tell the public what really happened.
	Oh, when the state's going to investigate itself and find itself completely innocent?
	No, it'll find the...
	Yeah, probably. Yeah, yeah.
	But we'll go to the messages, because it's exactly what you'd expect.
	Julie Harlebrewer tweeting one of them here, in which you have Matt Hancock, the health secretary of the time, the one who did this to us.
	He starts talking about how there's a new tool that Jenny Harris has been developing to define your risk should you be exposed to COVID. Age is the biggest determinant, then sex followed by other conditions of obesity, blah blah blah.
	Matt Hancock, conspiracy theorist, confirmed.
	What really matters is that some risks in groups are incredibly high, whereas in low-risk groups, the risk is incredibly low.
	And then Boris responds, Matt, as I read your chart, an 80-year-old with COVID has a 6% chance of dying, and if you're under 35, your chances are negligible.
	Even Boris understands.
	Yeah, Boris continues, If I were an 80-year-old woman and I was told that the choice was between destroying the economy and risking my exposure to a disease that has a 94% chance of surviving, I'd know which one I'd prefer.
	Yeah, funny.
	Funny this. It turns out that Boris Johnson did actually have common sense behind closed doors.
	In the public eye, he had to carry on with this.
	Old Mophead was just playing stupid.
	It's really weird, because you can see these people when they're out campaigning.
	of like I know myself as popular here in like Boris Johnson land like for all of his faults great campaigner and well you could see on the inside as soon as he became on the throne publicly he became this wet who was constantly like he was shut down the whole country but internally we can now see no he was like why are you all retarded well I mean he still did shut down the whole country so Yeah, he deserves the scorn for what he did.
	Don't get me wrong. But it's funny to see the inside conversation where he's just like, this is really dumb.
	But then why did you do it?
	You're the Prime Minister. Who's Matt Hancock?
	Nobody knows. I was bored.
	Whatever. So we're going to the next one because Nick posted some more as well where he was talking about the fact that it's exactly what you'd expect.
	I love how he sums it up here, which is Boris not really getting it and cracking jokes, Cummings being a supercomputer, and Hancock's delusional opportunist prioritising goals.
	And the media is totally complicit as well.
	Because it goes on here, you have Dominic Cummings who's just explaining percentages because everyone, I don't know, doesn't understand how mathematics works in government apparently.
	And then the next one is Matt Hancock writing to George Osborne, if you go back to the picture, where, if you don't know, George Osborne used to be in charge of the economy.
	Fantastic guy. Great policy, such as the pasty tax, which is why in England, if you go and buy a pasty, it's always cold now.
	Is that why? Yeah, literally.
	If a pasty is hot, there's a higher rate of tax, whereas if it's cold, there's a lower rate of tax, as in zero.
	So you're telling me, I didn't even realise this, George Osborne ruined Greggs?
	Yes. As a northerner, I cannot abide by this.
	Yeah, Akshaw is an awful individual.
	Worst policies in the world.
	I haven't even thought through anything.
	And he's now in charge of the media and the Evening Standard over there.
	So you know when the media tells you everything is fine?
	This moron is the guy telling you it.
	So we have Matt Hancock writing to him directly, being like, I want to reach my goal.
	How can we make this happen? Please run pieces supporting the government and telling everyone to get tested.
	And he's like, yeah, of course, I'll do it.
	I love the phrasing as well.
	You know, 22,000 spare slots tomorrow at my drive-thrus.
	Demand isn't there. This is obviously good news about the spread of the virus, but hard for my target.
	And if there's one thing that we know governance about, it's not about good governance, it's about hitting targets.
	Yes, exactly. You know how everyone was concerned that the media seemed to be in lockstuck with the government on day one, and then for the rest of the thing, and wasn't actually holding the government to account at any point, because they don't They don't...
	The olden days in which the...
	They're the same people. The government...
	It's the same goddamn group of people.
	Former government ministers go into the editor positions of the magazines and the news media corporations and then say, the government's doing a great job, guys.
	Don't panic. We don't live...
	Or, the government's doing a great job, guys.
	Please panic. We don't live in the 70s or 80s where there might have been some opposition media in the mainstream.
	No, all of them. All of the legacy ones, they're literally controlled by the state.
	George Osborne was a state minister in the same party that's currently ruling at the time and writes state propaganda for the state.
	Yeah, there is no real difference in that, in my opinion, and what people complain about in Russia, rightfully.
	But it's just, okay, that's how we live.
	But we'll move on, because apparently the rest of the leaks were pretty much the same.
	The Telegraph started doing all their stuff in different articles, like drip-feeding it, to keep the story going for ages.
	Which is a good strategy. Good job.
	So we'll go through the headlines, because that's really all these articles are.
	They're just headlines. No good reason to impose Rule of Six on children, but ministers did it anyway.
	Yeah, that's now in there. They literally were like, well, there's no evidence, but let's just do it.
	Rule of six, is that six feet?
	No, the fact that you had, I think it was six people.
	Yeah, yeah, there was the six people to a household or something.
	If you didn't already live with all of these people, you could only ever have six people in a household at the same time.
	And it made no sense for kids because, of course, kids weren't going to die.
	And they were never going to die, and Boris Johnson and everybody else knew it.
	Yeah, they had the data.
	We weren't shouting the data at them like it was something new to them.
	It was not new. We'll give you some consequences of that, just because they're there.
	I mean, there's this other headline where they're talking about the fact that Hancock rearguard action shut down the schools.
	Apparently the education minister was like, what?
	You want to shut down the schools?
	Why? Well, COVID. The education minister was like, but they won't die of COVID. The health minister went, I don't care.
	I wish there was...
	Can there be some kind of court-martialing for Hancock?
	Like, somehow I don't think that being forced to eat camel testicles in the jungle was nowhere near a punishment for him.
	I mean, he already gobbles testicles on the weekends, I imagine, so it was probably just a little trip.
	If he's cheating on his mistress with testicles, then that's...
	Probably. If he's a government minister...
	Yeah, we'll go to the next one because there's more headlines, of course.
	The next one being Boris Johnson proposed giving over 65s choice on COVID sheltering.
	So you decide to go to your family instead of being stuck at a care home where you're going to die.
	So, okay.
	That seems like good news for Boris behind the scenes, but they didn't do it in the end.
	Very sad. If we go to the next article, then we can see that Britain's second lockdown was based on very wrong COVID data.
	Boris Johnson feared being the headline on that one.
	We can look at the next article, please. Because this is a pattern I find throughout the leaks.
	This makes me a little bit sus, so we'll be honest.
	Because, like, 100,000 WhatsApp messages...
	And every single one of them seems to prove or show that Matt Hancock was a bastard who destroyed the country, and Boris Johnson didn't do nothing.
	He was trying to argue...
	He was an innocent little boy. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised, and the evidence is there, in the previous example we gave, for example, in which Boris is like, this is mad.
	But, at the same time, I'm not entirely trusting of the Daily Telegraph here.
	Once again, he did still shut down the country.
	Yeah, but also, again, Legacy Media Outlet, the Telegraph, is telling me the facts.
	They're the ones with the messages, they haven't publicly released them.
	By the Lockdown Files team, do you remember how at the beginning of the Twitter files, there was a literal FBI agent filtering the information that was given to the journalists looking through it?
	Yeah, so I do retain scepticism on the basis of, yeah, legacy media not releasing the full data, so...
	Sorry, just to correct, before somebody does, not FBI agent, he was a lawyer who was kept on retainer for the FBI. Alright, but we'll go to the next one here, because we can see more about that, which is that Boris also said the numbers were completely exaggerated in internal messages, we can see one here, which is just like, the great Steve Baker, he's a king...
	Believes that the numbers of deaths have been exaggerated.
	It might be worth seeing when Hennigan is saying to the Telegraph, referencing here, again, your modelling just seem to be completely wrong.
	Why am I trusting anything you people say?
	But then again, then why didn't you just tell them to get the stuff?
	If you didn't trust them? Weird.
	Weird behaviour. Why didn't you just fire all of them?
	Yeah. The next one is also revealing the face mask thing for kids.
	Because remember, kids basically couldn't die of it, so very, very low chance.
	So why did you face mask the kids?
	Well, it turns out the reason we face mask kids was to avoid an argument with Nicola Sturgeon because she'd insisted that all kids be face masked in Scotland with no evidence, no reasoning, but just my feels.
	And the government in England went, all right, let's not bother having an argument about evidence.
	Let's just do what mad woman in Scotland has said.
	Literally no evidence-based policy.
	It is just...
	Go for it. Because my politics...
	Because why not? So the thing everyone was telling you in the opposition, that yeah, this is nuts.
	I'm not talking about the opposition party because there wasn't one in parliament.
	But the opposition on the outside of government, us and many other people out there who were going on those conspiratorial marches that maybe these people weren't following the science.
	It turns out they weren't, but they knew it.
	They were messaging each other about how this doesn't make any sense.
	Strange. We'll go to a girl here who was suspended 11 times from school for not wearing a mask.
	And we now know the government ministers in charge were saying that didn't make any sense, so this little girl had more sense than them, and more balls.
	So they owe her reparations?
	I mean, yes. I'm not entirely joking there, I think she should be given, or her family should be given some compensation for the stress that they underwent.
	I agree. I got nothing against that.
	We'll get to the next one as well. Mass COVID testing was useless and harmed children, said a Birmingham professor with 25 years of testing expertise, to the government, and the government called him a tosser and a total idiot.
	In the leaked messages. So the actual scientist in the room is like, hey, I'm the one with the expertise, this is a waste of time.
	And they're like, yeah, whatever, idiot.
	Don't you know I got elected?
	You didn't. You became an MP. I think I got picked to be a minister.
	You'd get elected to a minister position.
	Do you know this... I almost wish all of this hadn't come out.
	And I'm going to tell you why.
	Because it confirms that we were alright this entire time, which makes it feel even more like a kick in the teeth that none of these people are going to face any consequences for it.
	Whatever consequences come, like Matt Hancock going and being a national television star, getting to go to the jungle with a bunch of celebrities for a few weeks, will be purely ceremonial, purely based on image.
	Nothing substantial will happen to any of these people.
	They will just get shuffled through, probably end up in an editorial position of another national newspaper, and everything will be hunky-dory for them.
	They'll still be able to live in their big fancy homes in Westminster.
	Fantastic. I don't think any of these people's cars or homes are going to be taken from them.
	Nope. Nobody's going to lose their jobs, or their families, or...
	M&S food every day. M&S food, yeah.
	Nobody's going to be convinced.
	Nobody's family members who are related to these people are going to be convinced that they're evil because they say, hey, none of this makes any sense.
	And they go, well, the Evening Standard told me that you're an evil conspiracy theorist.
	I'm going to cut all contact with you.
	Being part of the British elite is a very cushy existence.
	We'll get to the next one here because they all knew it was pointless as well.
	I mean, just the video evidence.
	Remember when everyone in the opposition was playing you this footage and being like, look, nobody cares.
	I mean, I know everyone watching, probably almost everyone watching gets this.
	It's just that family member you have who insisted that, no, no, this is super serious and trust me, the government have told us so it's true.
	Man, baby pigs out there.
	Please send them this video, for Christ's sake, and just be like, look, the internal text messages of the government Them telling each other, this is a waste of time, and we don't know what we're doing based on evidence, because we don't have any evidence.
	And the evidence, we do have points against what we're doing, including the biggest actual crime, which is killing everyone in the care homes.
	So, this is Matt Hancock getting expert advice on care home testing, which was the biggest vector of actual deaths, needless.
	And Matt Hancock rejected the advice on the basis of...
	I'm Matt Hancock. I'm the health minister.
	Slams fist on desk.
	I'm Matt Hancock, goddammit!
	I don't have any knowledge of what I'm doing, but I am the government.
	So I'll do what I damn well please.
	There we have it. Great. I can't back down because I've backed myself into a corner where I have to just scream the science and then ban new thing today.
	That's what I reduced their governing strategy to.
	Think of the implications that this has for every single other issue that the supposed far-right and evil far-right Nazis bring up to do with anything to do with the government policies, because this just confirms what we all already know, that the government knows the concerns that people bring up are legitimate, they know that there is plenty of evidence behind them, but they hate you.
	They hate you anyway and will dismiss you, and they're probably having these conversations.
	Immigration's not looking great, is it?
	No, it's not. Should we do anything about it?
	Open the borders. That's probably what's going on.
	If we can get the internal text messages of everything, I mean, frankly, I wouldn't be opposed to a bill that's just like, yeah, all text messages from the government in two years have to be released to the public.
	I want to see what they were saying.
	We'll go to the next one. We have George Osborne told Hancock bluntly, no one thinks testing is going well.
	Matt. Which is funny.
	But, again, more collusion with the media directly.
	Three-year-old buddy. He runs a national newspaper.
	Cool. We'll go to the next one as well.
	There's Hancock whining at the media.
	I want to hit my target. Asking for favours.
	There. Great.
	We'll go to the next one. Boris Johnson's desire to lift lockdown was thwarted by public opinion, is the headline on the next one, which is funny, because where is public opinion created?
	Where was it created during the lockdowns?
	You guys. Again, this is a bit of salt as I read all of these.
	For some reason, the entire narrative in this newspaper's release of the deets is that Boris Johnson didn't do nothing.
	A bit like, hmm...
	Yeah, he was still in charge, though, wasn't he?
	So, the idea that he was just...
	He didn't have any real power. He was only the Prime Minister.
	There is definitely a sense that I'm getting from all of this that, like, you're right.
	They're just trying to pin everything on Matt Hancock.
	When there was a gigantic network of people coordinating this.
	Clean up Boris's name. I was like, eh, I don't know, man.
	People aren't taking Tarishi as much as we want.
	Quick, get the Boris Johnson patrol back in action.
	Maybe. Maybe it's the case.
	And maybe he was just too weak to do anything.
	Who knows? But... They know, because they've got all the text messages.
	In which case, let us know. To be fair, even if this is a we-need-to-clear-Boris's-name campaign, it's just making him seem even weaker than we already knew he was.
	Yeah, the next one is just them laughing about shoving people into premier inns on return flights, even though they knew it made no difference to the national scene of how many people would get COVID. So, that's great.
	They also decided to have a conversation about looking up Nigel Farage.
	Because he dared to go out and criticise the government in a legal way.
	He went to a pub to talk about pubs and the fact that they're being destroyed by the government and travelling to the United States, clearly.
	But that didn't stop the government from having an internal discussion about can we lock up pub hooligan Nigel Farage?
	This is on Hancock's team discussing it.
	They contacted the police.
	The police said no, because he's not broken any law.
	So I mean, there's one advantage to have.
	There's something, at least.
	Yeah. They also decided to hold a party the next day about Piers Morgan quitting, as they talk about locking up Nigel Farage for criticizing them.
	They're like, yeah, he broke COVID rules, now let's have a party.
	And if you needed any more evidence that every single one of the people in charge of our society right now is completely evil and hates you, Yeah, apparently the discussions of Piers Morgan were disgustingly long.
	Like, the journalist in question said she controlled F'd and then searched Piers Morgan and gave up after a while because there were just too many messages about him.
	Why do they care so much about Piers Morgan?
	They're human beings. They will become obsessed with things like human beings and power do.
	You know how some people will become obsessed with, I don't know, like, someone who criticizes them forever?
	Same thing.
	I thought the only person who cared this much about Piers...
	Well, there's two people who cared this much.
	Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle.
	They're the only two people. You would have hoped.
	The next one is just also getting tests for mates.
	Jacob Rees-Mogg's kid, in this case, when there's a national shortage.
	Just corruption. Okay.
	Minor, but still there.
	The next one is get heavy with the police to enforce lockdown, Matt Hancock told ministers, telling them to go out and find the public, even though he knew there was no evidence for what they were doing.
	Just go out and do it. Why?
	Okay. Because I backed myself into a corner.
	Again. There's also Matt Hancock's response to all of these information, and this is being drop-fed, so there's going to be more and more leaks coming out.
	So go and check that out, I guess, at the Telegraph.
	But I am annoyed that this is only available through their team.
	It brings me sus, but that's normal.
	Matt Hancock's response is that they're doctored.
	And they fit an anti-lockdown agenda.
	Well, the second part's true.
	Because the evidence fits an anti-lockdown agenda.
	Matt, we didn't need the messages to confirm all of the data in them.
	The only thing that this confirms is that you already knew all of the data didn't reflect anything that you were doing.
	It didn't support it.
	Let's check out the propagandist response, though, because that's far more revealing.
	So we have Kay Burley here, who I'm just going to call a state propagandist.
	I can't get over the way the media seems to work and everyone's like, oh, it's all independent.
	She's like, no, it's not. We have her response saying...
	What on earth was former health secretary Matt Hancock up to by handing over private messages to a COVID lockdown denier?
	Talking about the journalist who released the emails.
	It's a good question, why did he send them to her anyway?
	Calling her a COVID lockdown denier?
	Well, yeah, the only tactic...
	What does that mean? Well, it means this is a label that you know should give you a bad gut response in your feelies to let you know she's a bad person.
	Therefore, you're supposed to ignore everything except lockdown denier, and then it's supposed to make your gut go, oh no, bad person.
	Look here, plebs. Bad person.
	Don't listen to the leaks. Yeah, that's all it is.
	I mean, like, holocaust denier means that you deny the holocaust happens, or a lockdown denier denies...
	The lockdown was good? Does that mean Holocaust deniers just deny that Holocaust was good?
	I don't... It doesn't make any sense!
	It's clearly, as you point out, just, I need a smear word.
	She doesn't just write it, she says it in this clip as well.
	And taken literally, it would mean you're either denying that they existed, or denying, more reasonably, that the reasons that they were based on were bunk.
	Yeah, it's obvious propagandist speak, is my point, about why she's using that terminology.
	And you can see it, but who is she?
	For people who have forgotten, she was the one who broke lockdown and got arrested for it and charged!
	Because she multiple times on one night, where the curfew came into effect, went out partying, which wasn't allowed.
	And let's be honest, once again, George Osborne, government minister, ends up editor for the Evening Standard.
	All of these people have connections with ministers and high-ups in the government.
	She probably knew that these conversations were going on.
	That's why she did this, because she didn't care and she thought she wouldn't get caught.
	And if she thought she did, she thought, I won't get consequences anyway.
	And in the end, in the long run, she didn't anyway, because she's still going on Twitter, just pointing it and going, bad, bad person, bad, you should be bad, bad.
	The journalist who brings a public interest to the public is a bad person, but me, the state propagandist Kay Burley, is a good person.
	I mean, I'm sorry, but this does very much remind me of the authoritarian regimes around the world that everyone is like, yeah, look at that, that's terrible, we wouldn't have that here.
	We did. We do.
	It's just we are lucky enough to have some opposition outlets.
	That's it. That's all we've got.
	We don't really have that much, frankly.
	If we go to the next one here, we can just quickly wrap up some of this.
	The BBC, being state propagandists as well, got the journalist on in question and then started berating her that, well, there's a state-sponsored inquiry to tell us what the state did wrong.
	Why don't you wait for that to finish up instead of being a dirty individual and releasing the evidence?
	And she's like, well, the state sponsored inquiry, number one, is run by the state.
	Number two, there's no deadline on that.
	So it could be a decade before that comes out.
	So yeah, there's a pretty good reason to just release it publicly.
	I mean, nobody from the public was ever going to get any whiff of any of the internal documents or messaging that was going on behind the scenes anyway, so this is the only way we were ever going to get our hands on this stuff.
	Do I trust the state-sponsored inquiry to tell us the facts?
	No. Do I trust them to tell us it anytime soon?
	No. No. In which case, what they're going to come out with in their idea was we'll do a state-sponsored inquiry that every party in Parliament supports.
	Weird that. Weird how they all support it.
	Same thing. All of a sudden.
	Probably because they all want to wash their hands.
	And in ten years, they'll come out and say the government did nothing wrong.
	And the rightist journalist was like, fucker that.
	I think the public should know the truth.
	There you are. Yeah, she's the one who's right there.
	What, are you some kind of fascist or something?
	No. We're good to disclose TV because there's some news in the States in which a bill has been introduced in the Senate that calls to declassify all US intelligence on the origins of COVID. Go further!
	Declassify every conversation that's had about COVID in the state, especially Fauci's, text messages.
	I want to see what those are as well.
	And it would be the right thing to do for the world.
	And what does this really mean, this whole story?
	Well, it means that the opposition was right.
	Again, we'll go to the last link here just to have a big old listicle of...
	Yeah, there you are. We can't read all of these.
	But there is just the fact that, funnily, the government that took the position of our governing strategy is just to shout, trust the science and ban something new.
	Wasn't really a governing strategy.
	There was no wisdom there.
	There was no common sense. Whereas the people who actually said, you know, wisdom and common sense might be more useful than this, like, schizophrenic health minister who's cheating on his wife.
	Weirdly had a better outcome than the trust the science cultist, which...
	Yeah, there we are.
	Everything you thought was the case is true and factually proven now.
	Great. Alright. Next up on explaining the obvious, the sky is still blue outside, and let's move on.
	So yeah, I wanted to talk about this.
	I'm going to be talking about Clarkson's Farm Wars because I only just finished the second series the other day.
	It was very good. If you haven't watched it yet, I'd recommend that you watch it, but at the same time, if you don't want to support Amazon Prime, especially given that they might not be supporting the show past the third series, then I completely understand.
	Attain it for other legal means.
	Yeah, there we go.
	I think that'll be alright.
	That'll be alright for YouTube. Okay, and Jeremy Clarkson has become a very embittered and embattled man because it turns out it's not just the main state government that sucks in the UK, it's all of the local governments as well because the councils across this country are filled with...
	Petty, tyrannical bureaucrats who will exercise whatever power they can to screw you over.
	And they are screwing you over, dear viewer, because it's not just the farmers who are getting screwed over when the council exercises petty, tyrannical powers.
	It's everybody else as well, because we in England, we rely on farmers.
	Shockingly enough, food is good.
	Farmers growing food is good.
	I know, radical take.
	Also, farmers look after the countryside.
	Me like countryside. Yes, I'm white enough to like the countryside around here, just wanted to double check.
	So, yeah, it screws every single one of us over, and we have to keep supporting people like Jeremy Clarkson, as much as he may annoy some people, although I really like the guy, and British farmers as a whole, because if we don't have those people propping up the country, then we don't really have much of a country.
	And as such, I wanted to promote this recent symposium that Stelios did with Beau on patriotism, talking about the fact that patriotism isn't always a bad thing.
	In fact, oftentimes, it can be a very good thing.
	And you can see why patriotism can be a very good thing, because look at how glorious that picture is.
	Look at that. That inspires a lot in you, doesn't it?
	It just makes me think there was a past once, to be honest.
	Sitting in the modern age, it doesn't make me any glorious for today's country, but...
	Well, yeah, but the...
	Well, I mean, one of the things is they don't want you liking your past.
	We don't want to be enjoying the past.
	The past was only a bad thing.
	Only dark and bad things ever happened in the past.
	But check that out to hear a very interesting discussion from Stelios and Poe on patriotism.
	But... We have covered, as I mentioned, a bit of this before, talking about Clarkson's case for an ANCAP utopia where Dan and Connor went over a lot of the red tape that Clarkson had to go through that was just repeatedly, he just asked for simple things.
	Can I have a farm track on my farm?
	No. But I own the property, I own the land, it's my farm, I want a farm track because it makes farming.
	No. Can I open a restaurant so that I am able to make money on my farm and also help all of the really struggling farmers around the local area because they are unable to compete with foreign imports for the supermarket prices that are being dictated to them?
	No. Can I do literally anything?
	No. That's how it's been going, and that's a very good video explaining all of that.
	But, one of the things that's come off the back of the show is that it has been very positive, it's been very popular with a lot of people, and as part of the second series, one of the things that we've seen is that the National Farmers Union actually awarded Jeremy and Caleb an award for something like outstanding...
	Shining a light on the British farming industry, and how difficult it is for every single one of them.
	And it's been breaking viewing records, despite the backlash over Meghan Markle comments, because of course, after Jeremy Clarkson's evil, bad, nasty column that he did about Meghan Markle, where he made a jokey reference to Game of Thrones, which apparently was enough to have him publicly crucified, we're uncertain of whether it's going to be going on past the third series now, because they've already got the third series filmed, and yet...
	Amazon has been a bit wishy-washy on whether they're going to be renewing it for a fourth series.
	I think they've said that they're going to be cancelling Grand Tour after all the episodes that they've got done are aired as well.
	And there was talk as well over whether Jeremy was going to stay as the presenter for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, which it seems that he is for the time being, but everything is still up in the air.
	But let's see. So the second series of Clarkson Farm got watched by more than four million people.
	I think it was 4.2 million people, despite the star of the show being pilloried for comments he made about Meghan Markle.
	Shockingly enough, the British population and everybody else on Amazon Prime seems to prefer Jeremy Clarkson to an entitled Hollywood brat.
	Are we shocked? No.
	No. No.
	Me neither. Me neither.
	And it also beat the highly anticipated Rings of Power, which premiered with 3.2 million viewers.
	And I presume that was only the first episode, and I bet every episode after that was a steady, steady decline.
	Still haven't watched it. Still refuse to.
	It looked bollocks, let's be honest.
	And the publication also noted that Clarkson's Farm became the 16th most watched show in the UK in its premiere week, even topping Love Island.
	Bosh. Take that, Love Island.
	To be fair, if you're gonna dethrone Love Island in the UK, where everyone's middle-aged mum watches Love Island with a- Every Dino.
	Every Dino watches Love Island.
	Then you are doing something right.
	And even the farmers love him.
	As I mentioned, the National Farmers Union have been showering him with praise, but lots of farmers elsewhere in the country as well have been showering him with praise in this next tweet, if you wouldn't mind going there, John.
	Thank you. Where this guy, Jake Humphrey, just said, as someone who comes from a farming family, and having married a lady who also has many farmers in the family, I honestly think Clarkson's Farm is brilliant for revealing the truth about our battered, underappreciated, and dedicated nation of incredible farmers.
	Wonderful show. Because every single episode, as I mentioned, every single episode is him just struggling.
	Struggling to get anything done.
	And you just think, Jeremy Clarkson's a guy who's got millions of pounds behind him already.
	He gets paid like three million pounds a year for presenting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
	He already has financial stability to make it so that he doesn't have to worry, okay, if this crop goes wrong this year, I'm dead.
	And he's got a team of advisors. Not to mention the film crew and everyone else there for support.
	And even then, it's not fun.
	No, it's not fun. You can tell it's not fun on screen and it's like, ugh.
	By the end of the first series, with the government subsidies that were being given to him, I think he only made a profit of £144.
	In a year. In a single year, selling off the food that should be necessary to keep the security of this country.
	I mean, let's be honest, having national food production, Josh and I, for the weekend segments you'll see, were talking about the supposed food shortages in the UK and how they're a threat to national security when you don't have domestic food production, and how the majority...
	Excuse me...
	Of the food production problems that we're having in the UK is due to government red tape, increased costs of energy production, which means that it's just making it unprofitable for farmers to plant fruit and veg anymore.
	So why would they?
	If they're not going to make any money off it, if they're going to actively lose money on it, there's no incentive for them to do so.
	What the government should be doing is giving them incentives to do so.
	But no, we're just tanking it.
	And Conor has pointed out a number of times that he thinks that this is part of an organized effort to try and ruin the British countryside.
	And I wouldn't be shocked.
	Because, let's be honest, they've already said...
	You looked at that article yesterday saying the countryside is evil and white because English people live in it and it makes me scared.
	Okay, stay scared. As far as I'm concerned, you know, if you hate the countryside so much, or if you look at the countryside in England and go, there's too many English people, as far as I'm concerned, stay away.
	Because, screw you.
	I just get very angry thinking about it.
	It's just such amazing that you could say it about England, but nowhere else on earth would you ever be able to say that.
	You turn up in Jamaica, which is where this guy's grandparents were like, too many blacks.
	Too Jamaican for me.
	You'd be thrown out immediately, and rightfully so, because what's wrong with you?
	Although I did watch that segment, and yesterday you were saying, why doesn't he move back to Jamaica?
	I'm thinking he wouldn't find it as nice a place to live as England somehow.
	It's also funny how his Jamaican grandparents and Jamaican parents have no problems.
	It's only him. What a big shock.
	What a big shock. You know, you've got people doing that, then you've got the government trying to give money to British farmers to try and get them to move out of their farms and hand them over and say that we need more black and brown farmers out there which work great for Zimbabwe.
	You know, I don't see any of this as being anything other than a concentrated effort to try and destroy the UK and part of that is with the country, the English and British countryside and all of the farmers who tend to it and make sure that we've got nice lovely beef to eat.
	Every year. And one of the most important parts of the second series of Clarkson's Farm was opening that restaurant because it was just a massive faff for him.
	He had just this lambing shed that was going unused.
	Have you watched the show? I haven't watched the second season yet, so technically you're spoiling it for me.
	Do you mind if I tell you?
	I mean, we're on this segment, so we have to...
	I love the idea it's spoilers. The other day I was on the Instagram and I saw some cows and I was like, that's a spoiler.
	Oh no, he's got cows now!
	Basically, he's got the slamming shed attached to the shop.
	You know, the shop that caused a lot of issues for the local village.
	I've only seen bits. I can understand that...
	fine, fine. It's going unused because he got rid of the sheep because apparently keeping sheep is very difficult.
	And I can understand. I've met sheep.
	They're stupid. And he goes, well, I've got an idea for making money.
	I will get a permit to open a restaurant there.
	I can just have the barn converted, make a restaurant, nice floor space, nice kitchen, get a proper chef in.
	Brilliant. We'll make some money off it.
	And then he also met with a load of the other local farmers in the local area who all said, yeah, we really need this.
	One of the women... Who's a farmer.
	She has a dairy farm.
	And she had 120 cows.
	And because of the fact that in the time when they were filming, there was a massive outbreak, the largest outbreak of bovine tuberculosis that they'd seen forever, she'd lost 60 of those cows.
	They just had to die because they all caught tuberculosis.
	He tried to get rid of the...
	He tried to ask if the badgers who were carrying the tuberculosis could be shot if he saw them because...
	If the badgers show up and give the cows tuberculosis, well, my cows are screwed, my farm is screwed.
	The government said no.
	They're now homeless. Yes, the government said no because apparently badgers are still classified as endangered, even though they're not endangered because badger baiting isn't a thing anymore.
	And if you shoot them, you get fines of up to, I think it was between £10,000 and £50,000 and a year in prison.
	All for trying not to let the badgers kill all of your cows by giving them tuberculosis.
	So this woman was really struggling, and she was basically just saying, I'm going to be ruined.
	And he goes, and he speaks to all these farmers, he's like, I can sell all of your produce here at fair rates that won't be undercut by foreign products that you get in the supermarkets.
	And they go, that's brilliant, that's exactly what we need to stay afloat.
	And he goes to the council, and the council goes, no.
	And it's horrible. It's a horrible, horrible scene because they all just sit there.
	There's three councillors that are on Jeremy's side, and one of them is just sensible.
	She says, we say we care about the countryside.
	We say we care about our farmers.
	We need to do things to support our farmers.
	We're not doing enough to support our farmers.
	This restaurant will help keep the farmers afloat.
	And everybody else goes, no.
	No. Just dispassionately, they go, all in favour.
	Three people put their hand up, all opposed.
	Everybody else puts their hands up.
	And that's it. That's just that.
	Can't do it. All those farmers screwed.
	So what he had to do to adapt, he found out you don't need a permit if you've got an unused barn on your property to convert that and do what you want with it.
	But even to be able to do that, he had to send off the email to the council to alert them that he was turning this rubbish, broken, unused barn in the middle of his farm that was going completely unused into a restaurant.
	He knew they would stop him.
	So he had to get it done in two days.
	So the builders had to just haul arse to just get it done.
	Rebuild parts of the barn, reinforce the construction, make it nice looking, get an entire kitchen fitted in there, and have them serving food.
	I think they sent the email on the Wednesday.
	They had to be serving food by the end of Friday so that they knew that by the time the council try and show up so they can try and ruin the whole thing, that they can't just show up and go, no.
	Did they show up? No, it didn't show that part, but he did get told afterwards that he's going to have to shut it anyway.
	That's what this article is right here.
	In October, so he managed to get it open in, I think it was June, July or August, one of those months, and he was ordered to shut down his cafe and restaurant after a council claimed his business was breaching planning laws.
	I mean, this will be great for Series 3.
	This will be fantastic, entertaining watching for, well, frustrating watching for Series 3, but it's horrible to hear.
	Because once again, despite the fact that he had to downsize it, All of these other farmers are relying on this, so that they can even just stay afloat.
	And it's ridiculous. He appealed against an enforcement notice for Diddly Squat Farm after West Oxfordshire District Council took action in August.
	They told him to remove all mobile toilets, all tables that would be used by diners, and all landscaping materials.
	It said there was unlawful use of the farm and said its nature scale and sitting is unsustainable and incompatible with its countryside location within the Cotswold area of outstanding natural beauty.
	So, it's a lovely little restaurant in the middle of a field with a beautiful view.
	Before, it was an abandoned barm going completely unused.
	How is it not supporting the area of natural beauty?
	I understand it brings a lot of foot traffic and a lot of car traffic there that can be really difficult for the people of Chadlington.
	You know where we can get them to park? That field we've got.
	Oh, but they can't, though.
	They can't, though. He's got this big field that was being mushed into the ground by all of the cars showing up there so that they could park up, and he said, can I put some gravel down and turn it into a proper car park?
	Guess what they said? Yes.
	No. No. Yeah.
	I'm sorry to get your hopes up there, Callum.
	I know you thought there might have been a silver lining to that cloud, but no.
	No, they just said no. And then, at one point later in the show, when all of the cars end up resorting, because there's no parking, they end up resorting to just parking on the road outside of the shop, the council go around and put down cones to block off all the potential parking spaces down the road for two miles.
	These people! These people!
	It's not just... Did Clarkson kill their kids or something?
	No, I think my theory is, one, that it's partially to do with what Connor says and they want to depopulate parts of the English countryside so they can just pave over it.
	Someone's in the chat just being like, oh, you've got a permit for that, Gravel.
	Exactly, exactly. On land he already owns.
	Part of it, I think, is depopulation of English people in the English countryside by making it just too difficult to live there, including the farmers, so that they can just move all the migrants in there.
	And then also, just the fact that these people, they're council members.
	Nobody's ever heard of them. Nobody cares about them.
	I doubt they have conversations with their wives because they're such miserable pricks.
	This is the most exciting thing that's happened to them in years.
	Yes, they get to exercise petty control and power over Jeremy Clarkson, big, notable, motor enthusiast, person who's caused them probably a lot of annoyance over the years.
	Let's be honest, I can understand having Jeremy Clarkson in a constituency, driving around like a yob, and blowing up his house like he did in that episode of Top Gear years ago, probably annoying.
	But he is trying his best to not be that anymore, and to be a farmer and try and help local farmers and producers.
	And they go, no. Brilliant.
	Brilliant. Agents working on the farm's behalf denied it breach planning laws and said some of its requirements were excessive.
	A map served by the council was wrong and they said that the notice should be quashed in its entirety as a result and papers served by the planning inspectorate showed that it had accepted Clarkson's appeal as valid and that representations must be made in the coming weeks.
	Do you want to know how that went? Did they say yes?
	No, not well. No, they had to shut down the restaurant anyway.
	Despite the fact that he'd done nothing wrong, he'd stayed well within the bounds of the law.
	It had been loopholes, yes, but loopholes mean legal.
	That's the whole point of them being loopholes.
	But he got told he had to shut it down anyway.
	So he closed his restaurant, a diddly farm...
	Diddly squat...
	Yep. Oh my god.
	You've got a license for that?
	I mean, seriously. He said, But,
	at the same time, once again, this is an active campaign enacted against Jeremy Clarkson to ruin anything that he wants to do.
	Jeremy has actively tried to do things to make it easier for the people of Chadlington by making it more convenient for people coming to the restaurant and to the shop.
	And the council just kept telling him no.
	So part of this, part of the difficulties that the people of Chadlington had, is to blame on the council as well.
	Let's not even deny it.
	Talking about the planning, Clarkson told the program, without knowing it, West Oxfordshire District Council is writing a fantastic script, and every farmer in the country will go, that's exactly what's happening.
	And that's true, because this isn't just happening to Jeremy, as much as it is probably particularly pronounced with Jeremy because of who he is.
	Every other farmer in the country is having to deal with this kind of ridiculous red tape anytime they want to do a single thing.
	And it's ruining them.
	You know, these, how can I put it, not terribly bright people in planning departments just don't understand what they're messing around with.
	And I'm seeing the results. I was told to change the traditional green tin roof on my shop to much more expensive slate.
	I was told I couldn't sell milk that was coming from five miles away from a woman who's desperately, desperately worried about her future as a dairy farmer because of tuberculosis and so on.
	I haven't been allowed to build a farm track, haven't been allowed to build a car park, even though the locals are saying there's too many people parking on the road.
	It just goes on and on and on, and the council's answer to everything is no.
	Brilliant. Wonderful.
	And like I said, obviously Jeremy Clarkson had his big controversy with Meghan Markle as well, which might lead to Clarkson's Farm and Grand Tour being cancelled once they get through all the material that they've already got filmed for all of those because they don't want to waste all the money that they've already spent on it.
	But I really think we need to keep Clarkson's Farm around because it's so revealing.
	So revealing to what all of these people go through on a daily basis.
	Probably the best TV show I've seen in years as well.
	It really is. It's heartwarming.
	It's frustrating because of the challenges that he goes through.
	But Clarkson himself is a fantastic presenter for it, and it's got so much heart.
	And everybody loves Caleb now.
	Your cousin, I assume. Great guy.
	You know what's really sad about that?
	I've mentioned it, but I don't have to have done it here.
	But there's an interview where Clarkson and Caleb are talking about the future of farming.
	And Clarkson just goes, yeah, he's never going to be able to buy a farm.
	I'm like, well, what do you mean? This is all he lives for.
	He's like, yeah, the cheapest farm in the area is a million pounds.
	Brilliant. So, I mean, just on the other basis of the UK being terrible.
	I'm glad that foreign oligarchs are going to be able to afford to move in.
	Yeah. Brilliant, because that's what it's going to be.
	The only silver lining in the whole restaurant thing as well is I read a more recent report saying that there is a bar at the back of the farm shop with seating and they've put a burger van in.
	So instead of a restaurant, they're having to serve all of their local food in a burger van instead.
	Wow, really helping that outstanding area of natural beauty, isn't it?
	Fantastic. And the other thing that was going on was Jeremy Clarkson recently was said to have potentially been fired or cancelled from...
	From who wants to be a millionaire because of the whole Meghan Markle incident as well.
	Why Meghan Markle holds so much sway just making one single offhand comment.
	The second least popular royal. I mean, her name is Mudd.
	Only in front of the nonce.
	Well, alleged nonce.
	Slightly more popular than pedophilia, and yet it's still able to control the papers.
	Oh, okay, now... No, she's second.
	I've seen second. Oh, in America?
	Well, I'm talking about here. Yeah, well, apparently America prefers actual noncery to Meghan Markle at this point.
	Very interesting take. Oh, at least she's not Jeremy Epstein.
	No, no, apparently it's at least he's not Meghan Markle.
	Epstein, he was a funny one, but at least he ain't Meghan Markle.
	I mean, good God. And so it had been reported that Clarkson had been sacked by the network, and as a result, betting companies are already eyeing up celebrities such as Warwick Davis to replace him.
	Okay. The network later issued a revised statement which said, Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Who Wants to Be a Millionaire nor Jeremy Clarkson have been cancelled.
	So many kind... And then Clarkson tweeted later on, I think this was yesterday, saying, So many kind messages about today's reports, but relax.
	Lisa and I have not split up, Lisa being his wife, who apparently...
	Also, there have been reports that because of the Meghan Markle comment that they'd split up, and Jeremy had to go, No, she's not broken up with me over that, you morons.
	And I have not been sacked as host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
	But the only thing that I say with that, they're making it on series by series basis.
	What it sounds to me like is that who wants to be a millionaire, have him under contract, can't really breach that contract, want to get this series done, and then he's gone.
	There's no confirmation that he's still probably gone from it.
	They're just trying to blacklist him now.
	Once Clarkson's Farm Series 3 is done, get rid of it.
	Once Grand Tours' next four episodes are done, get rid of it.
	Once next series of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is done, get rid of it.
	Now, Jeremy Clarkson's a very rich man.
	He's going to be able to survive.
	He's in his 60s. He's got lots and lots of money behind him.
	He's not going to be hurting because of this.
	I'm saying that we're all going to suffer when, one, I really like Grand Tour.
	It's a very entertaining show.
	And two, Clarkson's Farm is genuinely important.
	It's really important on a cultural level just to reveal what is going on in the British countryside.
	And just to show that there can be a happy ending and just the impact that it has.
	Look at this. That woman who I said is struggling with a farm because of all the tuberculosis taking out half of her dairy cows.
	She was donated £34,000 by fans of the television show to try and help her keep her farm afloat.
	That's the sort of impact that this show can make.
	Honestly, it's important.
	She has said that what she's going to be doing is donating the money to charities to help other struggling farmers across the country as well.
	She's going to be donating most of the money.
	I imagine she'll be keeping enough to try and keep herself afloat as well.
	But this is a genuinely good thing.
	Done by fans of the show, and they should be very proud of themselves for doing this, because she was really struggling.
	And it's wholesome to see.
	And that's why we can't let, A, the councils keep pushing around farmers across the country with interminable red tape and pointless regulations, and B, we need to keep Clarkson's farm on the air so that we can see what is going on with it.
	So, yeah, we need to just keep supporting the honest and hard-working farmers across the country.
	That's my last word on it there.
	With that, we shall be moving to something more serious.
	Such as very serious people.
	Asking the question, what a woman is.
	So I demand to be taken seriously, screams the lunatic in front of you.
	What do you do? Spit in their face, usually.
	But we're talking about some people who very much demand to be taken seriously.
	We'll start off just by promoting something on lowseers.com, the analyzing what is a woman series, because these people insisted to be taken seriously.
	The best one being that doctor who was like, yes, I do give drugs to kids, but it's good for them that they're castrated.
	She got very upset when no one took her seriously anymore.
	I still do think the best part of that documentary is that.
	Just that face that Matt pulls.
	Because he doesn't say anything for most of the documentary.
	He asks a question, and people tie themselves in circles trying to answer it, and he's just sat there like...
	But let's move to someone more serious, such as local Catwoman.
	Scroll down, John. Oh, no.
	So, Arizona's school board member says the district should reject hiring Christian teachers because it's not safe.
	Whereas this woman is someone I want looking after my children.
	An Arizona school board member wearing cat ears during the meeting said she...
	They belong at home.
	Cat ears at home. No, she belongs in a home.
	Said she would oppose having a contract with the Christian University over the religious and biblical beliefs they espouse.
	I'm going to ask one question.
	We're not going to get an answer to it, but I can infer the answer.
	Relationship with father?
	Question mark? I don't know.
	I would love to ask about, you know, let's have an agreement with the University of Baghdad then and see if you oppose that one.
	The elementary school district, which serves students of the Phoenix and Glendale areas, had an ongoing contract with the Arizona Christian University for five years, enabling their student teachers to be placed at schools for field experience.
	The contract opened up opportunities for recruitment and hiring.
	Great thing for everyone involved.
	No. On February 24th, Miss Katiaz said that they must dissolve the partnership, and they did.
	They did not immediately respond to requests for comment on whether or not they had bias against Christian beliefs.
	Venezuela over here describes herself as a bilingual, disabled, neurodivergent, queer, black, Latina.
	Once again, someone I want looking after my kids.
	You know that's a serious person who's got to be taken seriously.
	Oh no, there's a bit more she described herself as.
	Wait, wait, wait. We can tell she likes her hot wings.
	Yes. She added that the board had recently added their pronouns to the dais as solidarity with the LGBT movement, and that was part of the reason they had to disavow Christianity.
	Because it's a heretic faith.
	Okay, cool. I like the little link in the middle of the art.
	School librarian privately defends pornographic book on sex parties.
	I bet it's the same woman.
	American education, at its finest, folks.
	Because, um, let's not joke, it's a bit of a joke at this point.
	We'll go to the next one, just to check out the profile picture.
	This lady is real, by the way.
	I thought it was a bit of a meme.
	Like, it was a dress-up day or something?
	No, this is her profile picture on Facebook.
	You can see that. Pronouns at the bottom.
	She, hers, elia. Not, not, not pronouns of pspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspspsps Yes, because if we go to classroom real quick, we can see that she's also doing it there.
	And this did very much remind me of the big tits.
	If we go to the big tits, just to show folks...
	Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. I'm glad we had the same thought here.
	Which is, supposedly, I don't know if you're covering it here, supposedly it's come out that he was just trolling.
	Because he's been removed from his school because he was spotted out and about without them on.
	There was that 4chan post from an unidentified local who said it was all a big troll because he'd been faced with leave because he was a straight white male.
	That's not been confirmed. What has been confirmed is that in the rest of his life, he doesn't wear big tits.
	Only at school. Funny thing is, I was able to find out, I'm not going to go through it all, but you can go to, if you check out that school district members, other photos, you'll find that she only wears a cat at school as well, seemingly.
	Weird that. Hmm.
	Again. But at the same time, for me, there's one reason to think that she's not trolling where he was, which is that she's a woman.
	Yeah. And women tend to be way more susceptible to this nonsense than men are, sadly.
	But what's interesting is, obviously, things that are sexualised being increasingly like, oh, I bring these to schools.
	Why? Why do you bring your sexualised objects to schools?
	Well, they're not the only ones. A college professor has now told his students they need to write their fursonas when they come to class and submit them for an application here.
	Boston College professor, assigned student to make their own fursonas, has furries come to his class.
	I kind of love this article because it is Fox News having to explain to their audience what furriers...
	Well, surely half the audience already know because their kids are being taught this nonsense.
	But do you want to explain to Grandma what a furry is?
	I... She's suffered enough, bless her.
	You know, she's watching Sean Hannity and she's like, you know what, my grandson got me an iPad, I'm going to check out Fox News' website.
	What's a furry? I mean, there actually isn't...
	You can see it there, them describing it.
	What is a furry? At this point, I'm so glad that both of my nans are dead because I don't want to have known what they'd have thought of this nonsense.
	Yeah, well check out the professor in question.
	He has a Twitter account because they always do.
	He, him, again.
	Protected account. Local pronoun fan.
	Funny that. Average pronoun fan.
	There are other American school problems that are funny, of course.
	Fox News detailed over the weekend there was a 13 arrested on a riot at an American high school.
	You know the riots you had at school?
	I remember people...
	I remember people circling around to people when things got a bit too much and they started to violently hug and pat each other on the back, or fight, as it was known back then.
	They were just... they were really bad fights.
	And if you go to the next gif here, we can see...
	I mean, there are other problems with American schools that could be described as an average day.
	And in which case, I mean, the previous examples, they'd be like, well, American education at its finest.
	But, fundamental point being that these are a lot of people who are like, I demand to be taken seriously, don't you know?
	And sure, there are more of them.
	We can check out some professors around the world.
	It's not just the United States. This is, I believe, in Canada, in which this woman, who looks very serious with the...
	I don't know, what is that?
	Like... Gas mask?
	Adjacent COVID mask at this point?
	That she wears? She looks like a Metal Gear Solid character.
	She's insisting that not wearing masks is racist, ableist and classist in the year of our Lord 2023.
	Snake, I see you've been- She's still there.
	Been playing Castlevania, have you?
	There is obviously endless other professors who were wired about black privileges are not large enough, we need to have time off whenever a black person is killed whilst trying to kill a police officer or whatever other nonsense.
	But this is not the main focus of today, because no one does cringe better than companies with large media budgets.
	Oh, here we go. And we're going to go to the best of companies, EE. Oh, no, and Gareth Southgate, the most eloquent speaker that England has ever produced.
	We went over this advertising campaign they ran once upon a time before.
	I don't know if you've scrolled out all the views.
	That's a proper soy face we've got him paused on as well.
	This was Gareth Southgate's Talks Online Sexist Hate.
	So this was on their YouTube channel, they've only got 16,000 views, but this was being run as an advertising campaign all across Twitter, etc., which is what I found at the time.
	But we've got a nice 10% dislike ratio there.
	10% like ratio. 90% dislike, as you see.
	Well, no, I mean 10% of the views are dislikes.
	What? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, sorry.
	I know what you mean. Yeah. It's like 10% of the people who even watched were like, God damn it.
	Go away. Yep. I love the idea that Gareth Southgate is going to tell you about the online sexist hate he's been up to.
	Like, it's a brand. But anyway, this was a meme at the time.
	And you can go check that out.
	We did it once before. They've introduced a new one, which is the funniest thing ever.
	But I had to share it with you folks.
	Because here's E. Hope United introduces gay VAR. Yeah, weird one.
	If we go back to that YouTube link first, because this has 1.2 million views and zero dislikes.
	But only 14 likes.
	How do you manage that? This is a feature I didn't know YouTube had.
	Because of course they've disabled comments, because that would reveal people going, bugger off.
	If you give that a dislike, please, real quick.
	This is on the Lotus Ears podcast account.
	Give that a dislike. No, not a like, a dislike.
	Easy. Okay, now it's got one.
	There we go. And then it should stay.
	Hit refresh.
	Refresh for us. Refresh the page.
	Let's see if that stays.
	Oh! No, there's three.
	Oh, it's growing. We've started a movement here.
	People are watching. Because I tried this earlier on my laptop, and I was disliking it on multiple different accounts and refreshing, and they just weren't being kept.
	And I don't know if you'll refresh that later and it won't be there.
	But it certainly didn't work on my damn PC, which is that every time I refreshed it, my dislike was deleted.
	Perhaps it just needs to be about...
	Maybe we need to give it five minutes.
	We'll return to this page later on in the podcast, and we'll see what's going on.
	Anyway. But we'll start off just with the...
	What we're talking about...
	This chair is playing up, I swear.
	You keep taking out the pin, man.
	This happened to Josh yesterday.
	I'm not to be blamed.
	It's because you're tall. Because I'm fat.
	How about that? But let's check out Gay VAR. What's that?
	Tom, it's 2023 and homophobic abuse is the most dominant form of online hate in football.
	Miss a shot. Gay.
	Take a dive. Gay.
	Lose the ball. Gay?
	Yes, Joe, I am.
	But these things aren't.
	That's why we're introducing GayVar, football's queer eye in the sky.
	We're tackling everything from serious fouls in the stands to banter online.
	Join us as we blow the whistle on hate.
	Don't let homophobia go unchecked.
	Because it shouldn't matter who you love.
	Even if it's Millwall. Well, I used to go out with a Millwall player.
	I love how they got the movie trailer Hogthorn to be playing at the end there.
	This is a brass-eyed sketch, come on.
	I really thought it would be.
	This has to be... This is sincere.
	It's the current year, so we've got to criminalise Chance.
	Is a sincere thing.
	For people who don't know, EE is a telecoms company in the United Kingdom, which is very big and is genuinely serious about state propaganda.
	They give phone contracts.
	What does this have to do with anything?
	There actually is an EE store in Swindon.
	I used to work for a company that was contracted by EE to do insurance claims.
	You notice every Pride Month they have a ridiculous number of flags in that store down there?
	I'll point it out to you.
	I look at Vodafone, which is right opposite.
	Not a flag at all.
	Hate the gay community, I presume.
	No, they're just not obsessive weirdos.
	There's only one sign in the Vodafone door.
	No blacks, no ducks. No Irish, no gays.
	Yeah, no, I don't think Vodafone are.
	I think they're just normal people.
	Whereas E is not, as we'll see, because they are now going to detect hate and take it down.
	Let's play. You're going to want to take a closer look at this, Tom.
	Oh, is it Jack Grealish's calves?
	No. There's been some homophobic hate online after that missed shot.
	Let's take a look. Abuse like this ruins the game for everyone.
	Sorry, what? Especially young players and fans.
	Caught with his trousers down.
	It doesn't matter where you're sitting. This kind of homophobic hate.
	It's just not cricket, is it?
	Or football. Quiet.
	Sorry, so the message that I've got from that is E is watching me at all times, even in my most vulnerable moments.
	As you piss, they're having a watch.
	Taking a peek. Not just anybody as well.
	This man. This man making pervy comments about the footballers is watching me on the toilet.
	This is not something I'm happy about.
	This really looks like the day-to-day.
	They've done so many sketches with, like, weird graphs and animations about bomb dogs and how, like, a policeman had to detonate the bomb dog at a safe distance.
	Or, like, the IRA had to, you know, take a helium to be on the screen, which was also a real thing, but it's...
	For people who haven't watched The Day-to-Day, type on YouTube, The Day-to-Day, go and give that a watch, okay?
	And then come back. We're watching the same thing, but we live it now.
	Let's play the third clip, where they talk about crime chants.
	What is your favourite scented candle?
	Joe, that means there's reports of a homophobic chant being sung at a player.
	Which pitch? I'm not sure of the pitch, but it's definitely out of key.
	It's these fans clearly singing homophobic hate.
	It's not banter. It's so far past the line, it's actually considered a crime.
	So what do we need to show these fans, Joe?
	The door.
	Right, right.
	It's just the line, show them the door.
	And it reminds you of the day-to-day...
	At the beginning, I already mentioned Metal Gear Solid.
	At the beginning of Metal Gear Solid 4, there's this part of the game where it comes up with a bunch of fake adverts, and it cycles through them so you never know which one you're gonna get, and they're actually filmed with real actors.
	And then the most absurd nonsense that you've ever heard, where it's like some Private military company is selling gigantic mech suits with guns on them, all sponsored by various energy drink companies.
	And this gives me that level of dystopian vibes.
	It's so weird. Also, I do love the idea that, like, the day they would run an episode where it's like...
	And now news. The police have found an illegal chant.
	The illegal chant was on the run whilst it was in a football stadium, and we have shown at the door.
	And it just points to the exit in the studio.
	It's really on that level.
	We'll go to the next one here, which is saying the F word is a serious offence.
	Presumably. Let's play.
	There's been another incident online.
	And the profile is an egg, Tom.
	That tells you everything.
	Joe, that's my profile picture.
	Sorry about that. Let's take a look at this unacceptable post.
	Now, the spelling and grammar are bad enough, but not as appalling as it's about to get.
	You clearly see the moment it becomes a serious offence.
	This shouldn't be happening in 2023.
	Calling him out for not being masculine. That's fine.
	Like wearing trainers with a suit.
	Worst dad jokes ever.
	There's a stupid, like, Hollywood trailer hog thorn every time.
	The only joke that they have with the gay man as well is to go, look at how stereotypically gay he is as well.
	That is also weirdly ironic.
	Yeah. Where every advert is just like, heh, look at the gay.
	Isn't he weird and gay?
	Laugh! Laugh! And the texting question was a man going, what's a big gay?
	And then it just blanked it. It didn't tell you what the last word was.
	But apparently, whatever it was, was a crime.
	I think we should just start calling things a big gay.
	You're a big gay. You big gay.
	It's like the Avada Kedavra.
	You can't say to a person online, you should kill yourself.
	That's a crime. So people just type underneath, Avada Kedavra, Avada Kedavra.
	And they've been able to get away with that.
	You'd be gay. I don't know what football fans will be doing.
	In case you're wondering, the illegal football chant really made me think.
	Because I was like, hang on a minute. I don't know any illegal football chants.
	And I love football chants that are offensive.
	In football, anything is permissible.
	I know Rangers and Celtic have got their lovely ones about the Pope and the Queen.
	But when we come to...
	Homophobic football? I really couldn't think.
	And then I had to look it up. Because, I mean, I'm not a football fan, but I enjoy the chants, as I've mentioned.
	Chelsea welcomes the Crown Prosecution Service decision to define chant aimed at their players and fans as a homophobic slur.
	Specifically at Chelsea.
	So there is a chant that if you only do at Chelsea, you're a criminal.
	If you do at any other club, that's fine.
	So what happens?
	Because obviously a chant, this may shock you, requires a lot of people.
	A lot of people.
	So if they start doing that chant, do they all just get arrested en masse and all of a sudden one football team has no supporters anymore?
	If you tweet it or if you do a chant with a group of people, that's all criminal activity now.
	Do you want to know what the chant is?
	Because it's a bit weird.
	Alright, alright, okay. You might have assumed they'd be shouting, I don't know, the dangerous F word or something like that, like Milo called himself.
	No, the chant is, um, you're a rent boy.
	That's it. It might be true.
	They literally just chant, rent boy, rent boy, hello, hello, rent boy, rent boy.
	That's it. If you really don't know what a rent boy is, it's a homosexual prostitute who's a man.
	That's not a homophobic slur.
	A heterosexual prostitute is fine, but calling someone a homosexual prostitute is a crime.
	So if you want to insult Chelsea, you just have to call them all prostitutes.
	Is there a difference between a rent boy and a gigolo?
	Because I think a gigolo is another form of male prostitute.
	I think the circumstances are slightly different, but I can't remember what the distinction is.
	Oh, okay. But either way, being a homosexual prostitute is actually legal in the UK? It's not a crime?
	There's nothing wrong with being a red boy, if you want to be, but the police don't think so.
	They're like, no, even though it's not a crime, you can't be called it.
	If you're at Chelsea, anyone else, they can take it.
	But this also brings a big red target on the back of Chelsea, obviously, which is like, yeah, they really don't like being called homosexual prostitutes for some reason.
	It's like Mohammed. You can't say he was doing things with young girls for some reason.
	Can I call Mohammed a homosexual prostitute?
	I don't know. I don't know.
	I think that's a beheading.
	This whole situation is obviously ridiculous and I find it doubly funny.
	But we'll end this off because good luck trying to enforce that is my response to the idea that you're going to criminalize hate because there's a legal chance on the run.
	We're going to track them down and make graphs about them.
	And I suppose we'll play this segment out with the beautiful voice of the working man talking about Adam Johnson, a very bad man.
	Let's play. I didn't catch that at first, but that's brilliant. Redeems my love in this country every time.
	Go to the video comments. You're not really the destroyer.
	We must look elsewhere for that.
	You're merely the putrefaction that spreads after death, the outward, invisible sign of its presence.
	As with Sejanus establishing his police state under the tyrant Tiberius, so the Canadian police reveal the putrefaction from the rot their predecessors admitted under Trudeau.
	Yeah, fair point.
	Okay, that's all the clips.
	I can get this bloody thing out of me here.
	For those who didn't hear, apparently some could understand the accent.
	They're saying... So, F off Adam Johnson.
	You're going down for noncing.
	You are a pedophile.
	You are a pedophile. It's the most beautiful form of...
	Oh, seeing things like that makes me want to get into football.
	Yeah, I mean, that's what I mean.
	The sense of community in that room must have been ecstatic.
	You ever heard American football chants?
	They're awful. Are they?
	No, I haven't. Because I was watching this, because it's their best American chants ever, and one of them is just them going, I believe, I believe that we will win.
	And then they're all suddenly going, I believe that we will win.
	It's just, there's no energy in it.
	That's boring. There's no excitement.
	It's the most crap thing.
	If you're not accusing some of the opposing players of being actual nonces, then what's the point?
	Yeah. Have you seen that clip from, I think it's, it might be Vice News or something, but this leftist journalist goes to one of the illegal immigrant protests.
	There's Antifa on the other side.
	And he just turns to camera and goes, both sides are now accusing each other of being nonsense.
	I'll need to see that.
	People have just clipped that and started posting on everything.
	It's so true.
	Jon, no, no, before you close...
	Go back to the EE thing and see if the likes are still there.
	Oh yeah, we should check. See if the dislikes have gone yet.
	Have they deleted those?
	That's not that one. Is it the next one?
	Oh! Oh, it's working!
	We are the resistance boys!
	Lads! Lads, lads, lads!
	Take Adam Johnson down, boys.
	The barbarians are at the gates of EE. I don't know why it wasn't working earlier, because I was literally disliking it, and then reloading it.
	I mean, it's still a ridiculously low amount of likes to dislikes, compared to the amount of views, but...
	It literally was deleting mine earlier.
	Well, I mean, it was seven days ago, so maybe YouTube put an embargo of seven days, so for the first seven days, EE could look and go, ah, the people love us.
	You're going down for nonsense.
	There's another one about him as well.
	Oh, go on. I'll have to look it up.
	Go on. When you're reading your comments, I'll get it.
	Alright, okay, okay. Alright, so WW says, Why is no one talking about the other politician or experts?
	We really know that Matt Hancock is completely incompetent.
	Now, I haven't read the messages, but I don't trust any of them since they all went along with it.
	Yeah, that's the weird thing for me, is I'm looking at the Telegraph and I'm like, the narrative they're presenting is very obviously, all of the problems were Matt Hancocked and those special advisors that we got rid of.
	And I'm like, do I believe you?
	I've got no evidence that Boris Johnson was definitely in the wrong, but you would not have given me the full messages.
	And so my brain is sat here just going...
	Andrew Narok says, I think I'm with Harry on this one.
	It almost would have been better to not know that they knew, given that nothing will come of it at all.
	I just wonder how much lack of accountability the public can endure.
	Yep. Lee French of Victories says, the conspiracy theorists will write about everything, but unfortunately the populace hasn't realised that yet.
	It will take time. I do worry that that might have been the case.
	I was thinking, like, okay, relatively attractive, young-looking blonde woman gets all of this information from government insider for apparently no reason.
	I doubt it.
	Omar Awad says, I beg to differ.
	I think they were following the science, but forcing everyone else to follow the narrative, the science has quite consistently confirmed the conspiracy notices position for decades.
	Yeah, but also it's funny because the...
	I hate using that term.
	No one was a conspiracy theorist.
	What they were was using wisdom and common sense.
	When someone comes to you from the state and says, we're going to mask your kids because this virus that's killing old people might kill them, Anyone who's got any wisdom or common sense just goes, bugger off.
	Well, that's obvious bollocks. And yet...
	And yet half of the country was outside banging pots and pans together and going, that's right, I'm a sane person.
	Kevin Fox says, look on the bright side, lads.
	At least you now rarely see masked people.
	Here in Thailand, outside of the tourist towns, everyone is masked.
	They'll ride through town for up to 125 motorcycles with not a damn helmet between them, but they are all masked.
	That's right, average safety respecter.
	Yesterday we had a farewell party for two colleagues, and two out of the 30 people spent the whole time masked.
	Officially, we are still meant to be masked at work, but I and most of the foreign teachers, except the Chinese teacher, don't wear them, and no one has had a go at us, so things are looking up.
	I like the idea of wearing a mask just to flex how much you hate the people you work with.
	Oh, we're all double-vaxxed, don't worry.
	No, I just hate you. Don't breathe at me.
	They're racist. Exactly.
	Yes, you're right.
	Do you want to go to your comments while I load up some Adam Johnson?
	Clarkson's Farm Wars. Slander.
	Yeah. Base8 says, let's face it, we all know what's happening.
	The BetaCook councilmen are scared about Jeremy.
	Big ball Chad Clarkson is going to steal all of their wives.
	Perhaps. Kevin Fox says, so guys, what do you reckon?
	If the end of season three of Clarkson's Farm, Jeremy ends the show by announcing he has started a GoFundMe to raise money to buy out Amazon Prime or ITV or BBC, how many hours would it take to raise the funds?
	Not many. I've got the chant.
	Go on, go on, come on.
	Adam Johnson, pedophile, he plays with little children.
	Takes them to the Stadium of Light and sexually abuses them.
	There we are. He was convicted, in case you're wondering.
	He pleaded guilty. Oh, okay, alright.
	This is not slander, it's just...
	No, it's an accurate discussion.
	The idea that you're going to make these people stop having funny chants...
	I mean, there's too much fun to be had.
	They will find ways around it.
	Old MacDonald turned into that.
	Adam Johnson beautiful.
	Buses little chills, right?
	Yeah. No, I do wonder if they do end up cancelling it after Series 3, what's going to happen to it?
	Because it's a hot property.
	There's going to be a crew and everyone still involved in it.
	What is going to happen is there's going to have been a production crew who still want to do it, who have been paid all the money to get everything done by Amazon.
	So that they can broadcast it on their streaming service.
	So the production crew is still all going to be there.
	Everything else is still going to be there.
	So it's going to be a hot property and somebody else will just pick it up.
	Netflix might pick it up.
	One of the other companies might pick it up.
	It might still survive. It's just a pain in the arse until it does.
	Lord Nerevar says, I haven't even finished the second season of Clarkson's Farm yet, but I can say it's already radicalized me against local government in its current form.
	I know, right? It was the most disappointing thing, libertarians most affected, because we are libertarians all being like, I hate the state government, we need local government, and then local government is just as awful, just as petty, and just as tyrannical in its own little ways, and I just think to myself, it's all screwed.
	It's all screwed. Mafia behavior all round, continues Lord Nerevar.
	To be isolated, removed, and cauterized.
	I shall say no more, lest I get in trouble with the moderators.
	Sorry, Pete and Vicky.
	Well, thank you for saving them some trouble.
	Sir Olmy says, You'd think people would be up in arms about farmers having their livelihoods ruined, given that they produce food, which is kind of essential.
	You'd think so. Unfortunately, we now basically have an entire generation who believe mind-numbingly stupid things like food comes from the shopping center, and the government can create wealth by printing money.
	Yes, these are all very, very astute observations.
	This is an excellent point, because this council has revealed itself as being evil.
	Go on. I can't take that one.
	There's somebody who's been printing some more football chants for you.
	Give us a hint.
	The first stanza is really gross, so we're not going to do that.
	The second stanza was when he was just arrested for it.
	And they go, but we shouldn't judge too soon, he's only been arrested.
	We're refrain from saying mortal DNA's been tested.
	Oh no Sorry Captain Charlie The Beagle carries on here saying We had local traditional musician Brendan Beagle Fight our local council for 13 years To get planning permission to build a house on his own land Eventually he got permission But only because he kicked up enough of a fuss And put the national spotlight on them There was a documentary filmed about his experience And it is worth watching I'll have to give that a check out Thank you very much I think one of the other things that was surprising as Juno.
	This is a stupid question to ask you, but I'll do it anyway.
	Do you know who Roger Daltrey is?
	Of course. No, you don't.
	No, no, you didn't.
	Liar. Liar, Ryan.
	Sarcasm. Don't trust a word he says.
	Adam Johnson didn't. See, I told you.
	Roger Daltrey is the multi-million pound successful singer of the classic rock band The Who, who come from the 1960s, an ancient time of wizards and dragons.
	They did that song that you might have actually heard called My Generation.
	People try to put us down, talking about my generation.
	See what I have to deal with, ladies and gentlemen.
	I was playing the Cold War mod for Hearts of Iron Floor yesterday, and it comes with a bunch of music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
	I can hate it. Unbearable.
	Because if you play as a Western nation, you get that.
	If you play as an Eastern nation, you get some classical stuff.
	And that's nice.
	But I can't play as NATO. Oh no, the tragedy.
	I can't play his NATO. They keep blasting crap.
	You know, I'm going to load up the songs because I'm going to show you that.
	All right, while you're showing me that, okay, Roger Daltrey, he's a millionaire, he's very rich and successful, he owns a farm.
	He texts Jeremy Clarkson at one point during the series and just says, I see that you know what it's like now, the councils keep screwing even us over, and I think Daltrey had to fight tooth and nail just to be able to put a farm track in his farm as well.
	It's pointless.
	All the things that these councils do to these poor farmers.
	Go on. The reason it's awful for me is it's so...
	Is because you're autistic? No, it's like, you know those memes of, like, in the 60s, the kids complaining about the music their dad listens to because he only listens to Elvis or something?
	It's the same phenomenon. Am I your dad in this situation?
	Living on a Prayer, for example.
	That's a terrible song anyway.
	Exactly, right? I've heard Living on a Prayer far too many times.
	I do like one or two Bon Jovi.
	That's alright. I don't want to hear that.
	What's wrong with that? I mean, you're playing a war game.
	You're playing as NATO. It fits.
	We didn't start the fire.
	Winds have changed. That works. Because that makes sense.
	Yeah. The return of Godzilla main music.
	I think that's an outlier, to be fair.
	I think that's if he plays the Japs. Alright.
	Yeah, that one. The final countdown.
	Oh, come on. The final countdown's great.
	No, come off it. No, I like the final...
	Who wants to listen to the final countdown? I wouldn't mind listening to the final countdown.
	It's fun. Every school disco.
	Yeah, that's all it reminds me of.
	Just don't go to school discos.
	Yeah. I know it's too late, but...
	In fact, actually, no, that's good advice for you right now, Cal.
	That's good advice for everyone, I think.
	Don't go to school discos.
	I think it's good advice for adults and kids.
	Don't go to school discos.
	Yeah. What else is in here?
	Yeah, go on. Take us through a while.
	Fortunate Son, that's alright. Yeah, that's a good son.
	That's fine. I'm shocked you even know what that is, but I suppose you've watched enough Vietnam films.
	Yeah. I don't really get Holiday in Cambodia.
	That's a great song.
	I don't know, it's all over the place.
	To be fair, Dead Kennedys, like a hardcore punk band from the early 80s, I understand they probably wouldn't appeal to everyone.
	Anyway, I'll show you the mod later and you can make up your own mind.
	Oh, now I want to listen to it.
	Unless you're playing...
	It's about Pol Potts.
	Even one of the refrains in the middle of the song is Pol.
	Yeah, it's just really weird.
	It's great. It's like evil surf rock.
	I love it. Anyway, back to the comments people paid for.
	Kevin, should we do another episode of the music thing?
	Yeah. Go on, at some point, alright?
	This time I'll get you to listen to the songs, and I won't be describing them to you.
	You'll be describing them to me.
	How about that? Sound like a good idea?
	I don't know. We'll have a look.
	Go on, go on. Kevin Fox.
	Chicken S... I'm going to not propose Soviet stuff, instead propose football chants.
	I'll take that, I'll take that.
	Kevin Fox, chicken STV companies, none of them has the testiculars to fire Jeremy because the international backlash would ruin them, so they all take the cow's way out and follow the BBC lead and just don't renew his contract.
	Yep, pretty much. Kevin Fox again, if the commie conservatives had done Brexit properly, they would be in a position to deregulate the farming industry, just make sure the products are safe for human consumption.
	I mean, that sounds like...
	Really all you need to do, doesn't it?
	Don't destroy the countryside and their farmers, they have no reason to, and make sure the food is edible and won't poison people.
	Simple as. That's all you need to do.
	Outside of that, what regulation do you need?
	Let farmers farm and the shelves will be full again.
	The departure from the EU removed the money from farmers who were getting for not farming their land, but the government gave nothing to replace it, just kept all the ridiculous EU-based legislation.
	Very good points there. To be fair, that's a brilliant idea.
	If there were based councils in every constituency across the UK, you wouldn't have to worry about how rubbish the actual national government is, because the councillors and the people in charge of the local constituencies would just not enforce it.
	And it would be as simple as that.
	You alright there? Yeah, apparently 12 people beat the crap out of each other after Middlesbrough and Newcastle fans met each other, and one of them started chanting the Adam Johnson chant.
	It's a really weird thing to get in a fight about, though.
	It's just like, why am I defending him?
	Yeah, well, I think...
	Football.
	Football. No, it's your comments now, but I demand to be taken serious.
	I do.
	Meow, meow. Anyway, so Colin P says, not that I care about sports ball, but what are these guys and why should I care what they're waffling on about?
	Because it's really funny the level of cringe that people who want to be taken seriously will engage in.
	My point being that you've got the lady in the cat ears, right?
	And it's just endemic throughout the West where you've got these people who are like, I'm so serious, take me seriously.
	Whilst honking their clown horn in front of you.
	It's just really funny. They're being super serial, guys.
	Barron Von Vorhoek says, if I want to know what these companies really think about woke politics, remember that the Mars company is promoting women's power in their M&Ms and also being sued for using child slaves in the Ivory Coast.
	Good point. Were they female child slaves?
	Probably not. Then it's fine.
	Yeah, well then, you know... Just smashing the patriarchy.
	I think boys have got more upper body strength than girls, so...
	And we all know that men have historically never been oppressed by anyone ever.
	Hmm. So actually, no, that does make perfect sense.
	They're promoting female supremacy worldwide.
	Promoting reparations.
	Leaf French Victory says an anti-homophobia advert has a guy with his trousers down.
	Interesting. Arizona Does It Rat says that clip all sorts of cringe and nauseating.
	Yes, it was. And Michael Mijos says a gayvar feels a lot like the Bully Hunters.
	Oh, I remember the Bully Hunters.
	I'm gonna catch you. Sophie Love Peterson says I feel like we should all just declare ourselves Islamists and then...
	Sophie's like, I don't have rights anymore.
	Taking one for the team, boys.
	And then starting insisting on actual Islamic traditions.
	Cover up women and stay at home.
	No, she actually did go full Islamist, though.
	There you go. Fair play. You know what? I respect the dedication, Sophie.
	Yeah. You won't buy a burqa, though, because those are...
	You know, I brought the burka back from Afghanistan.
	Oh, yeah. Keeping it.
	It's great. Is it comfy?
	No, but I love it as a memento, right?
	You don't wear it when you're at home.
	Because there's not much to sell it for.
	So I looked up, like, how much is a burka in the UK? Can't buy them.
	So you have to import them?
	Yeah, you have to get them from somewhere like Afghanistan.
	You can't buy them. There's no dressmaker in the UK. I assume import costs are ridiculous.
	Yeah. For some reason I assumed, because you see the occasional woman with them on in London.
	I'm almost certain that if you go down to parts of Birmingham, you'll absolutely be able to get a burka on the street corner.
	Couple of shackles as well. Boil, lad.
	What a burka. What are you buying?
	Oh, Resi 4 remakes coming out soon.
	Will I play it?
	I don't know. How many remakes has I had now?
	This is the first remake.
	It's had remasters so it can be on like every console ever but this is the actual remake and it seems like they may be taking some stuff from the earlier versions of the game when it was like fixed camera and gonna be going in like a haunted mansion.
	I'm interested. I really enjoyed Resident Evil 2 remake.
	Didn't play the third one because apparently it was three hours long and not worth it and it was 60 quid for three hours and I was like no.
	But the second one was good.
	But Resi 4 is already a perfect game so I don't need it.
	I've got a PS3 sat in my closet at home and a PS3 controller and all that.
	I've got no PS3 games.
	I just have Resident Evil 4 digitally downloaded on that PS3. Just break it out every so often?
	Yeah. And you can buy some speakers.
	I mean, you can get it on PC as well, so...
	I wouldn't play without a controller.
	Well, can't you just get a USB controller and plug it in?
	Maybe. Yeah. Free Will says if your representatives are wearing cat ears because they think they are cats, your society is already dead.
	This is just true, this is obvious.
	Hard-hitting facts from Free Will.
	He only speaks facts in Spain.
	Not only are politicians infantile, but the people who vote for them are too.
	Suffrage was a mistake.
	I kind of prefer the Brazilian elections where they did vote, I think it was a cat in office, and then I think it was a...
	I bet things immediately improved.
	I'm forgetting that. I feel like a child.
	I can't actually remember what they're called. Hidopotamus.
	Yeah, they voted Hidopotamus as mayor.
	That was a good one. Once again, having actual stupid animals in charge would be better at this point, as far as I'm concerned.
	They would leave me alone. I'm sorry.
	All I can say is I'm sorry to hear that, Baron.
	Rip. Rip-a-ripperoo.
	Rip-a-rooney. Lord Nerovar, should I read this one?
	Leftist teachers, Delenda Est, what are supposed to be the most trusted members of society, those you entrust your children to, to help them learn and grow, and indoctrinating them, are indoctrinating them.
	Homeschool your kids, yes, if you have the opportunity, I would absolutely recommend that right now.
	Also, we've got a few more taken from the chat.
	Furious Dan, Callum's music taste, tasting music, is confirmed awful.
	I think that's unfair.
	It's different. It's different.
	Callum's taste in music is differently abled.
	I think I did get you bang into some Malice stuff once.
	You have occasionally sent me some music that I've enjoyed.
	Yeah. I will admit that.
	I remember I used one of the book clubs about Mal.
	We used some Malice music for the intro song.
	I still get people messaging me on Twitter sometimes like, what's that song?
	Tell me the song. Because it's good.
	There's some absolute communist bangers, and you have introduced me to Rhodesian national music, which is fantastic.
	That's actually on the Hoi 4 playlist.
	It's a long way to Mukabura.
	Oh, really? Oh, nice.
	Can this country be saved?
	I'm not honestly sure at this point.
	If we clear out everybody in the establishment, perhaps...
	All the Adam Johnsons have gotta go.
	All the Adam Johnsons, gotta go.
	All the government politicians, gotta go.
	All the illegal migrants, gotta go.
	Same group. Yeah, true.
	Rishi Sunak, gotta go.
	I'm just gonna start referring to just anyone.
	We see Adam Johnson, that one.
	Somebody's put, for Harry, what's your go-to guitar?
	Currently, I am using a PRS SE Paul Allender signature model, the former guitarist of Cradle of Filth.
	I got it when I was 15 back in 2011 or 2012.
	No, it was when I was 14. Bloody hell.
	Although, when I get the money for it, I am currently eyeing up one of the Solar Telecaster-shaped models with a Floyd Rose Whammy bar.
	I really want one of those. They're very tasty guitars.
	You have no idea what I'm on about.
	Yeah, why do you think guitarists lick the neck of the guitar?
	It's yum yum. Lick the neck of the guitar?
	Have you not seen them do that? I've done that before on stage.
	It's great. Why? When you're hitting some sick licks, you go like that.
	It's a signal to the women in the crowd, okay?
	Oh, right, okay. Basically that.
	Oh, you're all just on ketamine. And also, we demand Lotus Eaters Crusader...
	Crusader...
	I'm just referring to...
	Yorkshire Peasant came out on you!
	Crusader Kings 3 livestream.
	Yeah, I might do a stream of...
	Do you want to play Hoi 4 multiplayer?
	No, I'm not a PC gamer.
	I can't afford a PC setup, sadly.
	Left 4 Dead? I'd love to play Left 4 Dead with everyone.
	That'd be great. Otherwise, Monday.
