Time Text
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the podcast, The Lotus Teasers for the 20th of April, 2023.
I'm joined by Leo, and I do know what year it is, and we're going to be talking about Dylan Mulvaney in Bud Light, which I really didn't want to do.
The collapse of Woke in Scotland, which I think will be good.
And what happens when you watch GB News for 18 hours a day?
You get better as a person, and I recommend doing it, especially 11pm tonight when I'm hosting.
But this is actually scientifically proven by one leftist columnist for the Evening Standard, where they demonstrably got better, which is interesting.
That's why I thought I'd cover this with you, just because it's funny how by the end of it they go like, wow, it's alright.
Actually, this is a good news channel, and I enjoyed watching it.
I can see why people enjoyed this.
Sorry about your hip piece, mate.
Anyway, let's begin.
I don't want to talk about Dylan Mulvaney, and I really don't know why everyone had to, but Dylan Mulvaney, to me, just seems like the ultimate sort of honeypot for the left.
It's like, look, you know you're going to react to this.
And so the right did, and as I'll explain later, I genuinely think that it was the right that made Dylan Mulvaney famous.
Yeah.
I don't think they had traction in left-wing circles until Libs of TikTok was posting it, and everyone was like, oh my god, look at this ridiculous nonsense.
And I think that's how all of this has come to pass.
And I just really think that person is a massive grifter.
Yeah, and it's such an obvious caricature of 50 stereotypes of what a woman is.
And then you see Drew Barrymore sort of kneeling down in front of Dylan, and it's like, the patriarchy's back!
I salute this!
I can't believe it!
You know throughout human history Women have always been the ones propagating and promoting religion.
They've been the ones saying, come on honey, it's Sunday, let's go to church.
No man's been like, oh, I really want to go to church instead of like, chill out in my cave or whatever.
So it's been women pushing this stuff.
Those religions all subjugate women.
So there must just be an innate desire in women to be subjugated.
And now religion has pretty much left the western world.
They're like, what can we do?
Nothing's subjugating me.
I need something to take my place and mock me and demote me.
Oh, trans rights!
I'm a big fan of trans rights.
I disavow these radical opinions from GB News.
That is not official GB News opinion.
That is my own opinion.
Anyway, before we carry on, if you want to support us, because obviously we got demonetized, it helps keep the lights on, and get great guests like Leo to come along and tell us all about women's rights, go over to lycees.com and sign up and support us, and watch Frederick Nietzsche's The Gay Science, which is an analysis by Conor and Stelios going into why Nietzsche was mental, basically.
And I thought that was an appropriate thing to plug on this segment about things that are also mental.
So, like I said, the only things I ever wanted to say about Dylan Mulvaney was, please stop talking about Dylan Mulvaney.
I tweeted this out at the beginning of April.
He's an attention whore, he thrives on being the topic of your conversation, and I'm sick of you falling for his provocations.
So is that why you're dedicating 25 minutes to talking about... I have to, because no one listened to me.
And everyone's like, no, we're going to have a massive campaign against Dylan Mulvaney.
It's like, no!
And even if, and I tweeted out again the other day, just please, I'm once again asking you to stop giving Dylan Mulvaney attention.
And this is all I had to say on Dylan Mulvaney until now, because everyone kept going on about him, right?
So, I went and did some research, and there's a video on YouTube from before they were famous, and this is a very fascinating video, and I actually would recommend you watch it, because it shows that Dylan Mulvaney's father was an absentee, alcoholic, drug addict, multi-millionaire in San Francisco.
I would never have thought that Dylan Mulvaney would have a bad relationship with her aberrant father.
No, I'm not saying they had a bad relationship.
What I'm saying is his father was very clearly not very present, and he lived in, I think it was San Francisco.
So you can see how he's ended up this way.
And so he spent his time when he was younger as an aspiring actor.
He was on Ellen, he was on The Price is Right, where he acted the part of a very exaggerated gay man.
But it clearly came from a position of, give me attention, give me attention, give me the attention my father didn't give me because he was busy with business.
It's very clear that that's the case.
And so Dylan Mulvaney failed at those things and then ended up getting famous with his Days of Being a Girl TikTok videos.
Yeah.
This is the very first one.
Day one of being a girl and I have already cried three times.
I wrote a scathing email that I did not send.
I ordered dresses online that I couldn't afford.
And then when someone asked me how I was, I said, I'm fine.
When I wasn't fine.
She's like a real woman.
How'd I do, ladies?
Good?
Girl power!
But I mean, isn't that just... That strikes me, honestly, as the sort of joke you'd make about being a woman.
Yeah!
And like, you can imagine, for some reason everybody's like, jumped on board and is lauding and saying like, yes!
You're a woman!
You're definitely a woman when, you know, it doesn't look like any trans woman I've ever seen.
And also, well, like the new ones look a lot like this.
But like, also, imagine if you did that with race.
If you came out and you're like, Do you want a black hood?
You know what I mean?
I've got my grits and my gravy!
You know what I mean?
That was a lot more tame than I was expecting.
That would be egregiously what I'm trying.
I'm trying to get you monetised again.
That shit's sailed.
Imagine how that person would be in jail!
For the most egregious racism!
Yes, they would!
But do it as a woman!
And everybody's like, oh my god, serve such a real woman!
Now, I have to say that Dylan has committed to the bit.
Apparently, I believe I'm obligated by YouTube under threat of further removal, such as Matt Walsh is being currently under, to call Dylan Mulvaney she.
But she has had facial surgery to feminise the face and stuff like that.
So this is a real commitment.
I respect that.
Yeah, I do, actually.
Like, okay, no, fine, no.
If anything, it has to be mandated.
Right now, you have to go through the surgeries.
But the thing is, to me, this seems like a very, kind of, sort of positive feedback reinforcement loop, where, you know, Dylan was clearly looking for attention for a long time, didn't get it from his father, didn't get it from her father, didn't get it from going on Ellen or The Price is Right or becoming a famous gay actor.
He was in theatre productions as well, The Book of Mormon and stuff like that.
Didn't succeed in that, but succeeded by becoming trans.
So now you're on the treadmill of that and you've got millions of people giving you reinforcement for this, you're making loads of money, this seems like it must be the good A million dollars a month, I read.
It's mental.
It's mental.
And that first video, I don't think was the thing that made Dylan famous.
I think it's videos like this one that seem just to be open bait for right-wingers to come along and say, what are you doing?
Let's watch this.
Day 47 of being a girl and I'm hiking in a pleather skirt because you never know who you're gonna meet.
But I've still been getting a ton of comments that are like, are you gonna change your name, Dylan?
And I just don't think trans people should have to change their names if they don't want to to be trans.
I like my name and I'm a girl with a boy's name.
You just say you're a girl with a boy's name?
Yeah.
I'm a girl named Ryan.
I'm a girl named Dylan.
Five, six, seven, eight.
We're girls with boy's names.
We're girls with boy's names.
Wait.
What?
What even is a girl or a boy's name?
Wait.
Aren't names just names?
Five, six, seven, eight.
Names are genderless.
Names are genderless.
Wow.
Love your pleather skirt.
Thanks.
You never know who you're gonna meet.
Okay, Drew.
See ya.
obvious bait obvious bait just and obviously the right wing found this objectionable and the sort of the MAGA types couldn't let this go yeah and so Dylan Mulvaney was made very very famous Because again, I don't think it was left-wingers who were like, oh yes.
Because I think they could smell there was something a bit desperate about this and a bit kind of inauthentic about this.
They're not as stupid as people think they are and I think they've got a good nose for this sort of stuff.
But come April the 1st this year... Left-wingers are very smart because they're following the exact, precise orthodoxy and opinions to get by in the world.
It's much easier to be left-wing even if you know it's all nonsense.
No, that's a good point.
They're all university-educated and very independent thinkers.
But then, come April 1st, Bud Light, well, Dylan posted this on her Instagram, the Bud Light partnership video.
Let's watch.
Hi!
Impressive carrying skills, right?
I got some Bud Lights for us.
So, I kept hearing about this thing called March Madness, and I thought we were all just having a hectic month, but it turns out it has something to do with sports.
And I'm not sure exactly which sport, but either way, it's a cause to celebrate.
This month I celebrated my Day 365 of womanhood and Bud Light sent me possibly the best gift ever, a can with my face on it.
Check out my Instagram story to see how you can enjoy March Madness with Bud Light and maybe win some money too.
Love ya!
Cheers!
Go team!
Whatever team you love, I love too.
Okay.
Love ya.
Okay, break a leg.
It's like the total caricature of womanhood.
Yeah, the only convincing thing about Dylan Mulvaney's transition is drinking Bud Light, to be honest.
I mean, it's not a man's beer.
It's three and a half percent!
People are like, are you going to boycott Bud Light?
And I'm like, mate, I don't drink Bud Light.
I drink whiskey!
I drink petrol.
Like a real man.
But this now, if you go to Dylan Mulvaney's TikTok, every other video is a sponsored video now.
So it's like, this person is just grifting hard through corporate sponsorships on this.
And I'm sure they're going to come out phenomenally wealthy.
And there's, you know, this sort of cynical capitalist part of me is just like, Ok, well done, you know, I'm not objecting.
It seems to be a massive flop, a huge mistake to have somebody, like Bud Light is traditionally drunk by redneck-y type Americans who go to sports events, because it's not very strong so you can chug it in the sun and you won't pass out.
Yeah, if you've got 12 hours of drinking, actually you probably would choose a beer like that, right?
But of course, conservatives in America really hated this.
And I totally underestimated the amount of hatred they would feel for this.
Because I just saw this as, okay, obvious grifter is deliberately trying to provoke you, and no one's going to fall for that.
But in their defense, the Republicans, the conservatives, the MAGA types in America, dug their heels and were like, no, we're not having this.
And I actually really appreciate that, because after watching Dylan's, like, ooh, look at my Bud Lights, whatever sport you like, it feels like a slap in the face.
It's like, piss off, you know?
I'm just not in the mood for this, right?
And so, literally, you know almost every major sort of uh left wing uh sorry right wing uh commentator or um public sort of media personality or musician or whatever like kid rock came out and denounced this and they were okay fair enough and apparently he shot a bunch of uh crates of bud light with his machine gun yeah which is fair enough on a picnic table okay that's fun
That sounds like a good day out actually, doesn't it?
There was nobody having a picnic in the area at that time.
So we're told by Kid Rock Lawyers.
And then on the left hand side, of course, as you pointed out, you had Drew Barrymore kneeling in fealty to Dylan Mulvaney.
She was probably just like, wow, this is my wildest dreams come true.
I can't believe this grift is so successful.
Yeah.
But Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch, I'm probably pronouncing that wrong because it's a German word, they have been spooked by their dwindling sales.
But we'll get to the dwindling sales in a minute.
If you go to the next one, This is a concert from someone called Riley Green, who's a country music singer that I've never heard of, and he was singing a song called I Wish Grandpa Never Died, and one of the lyrics is, I wish, and the coolers never run out of bud light, but he instead changes it to Coors Light, as in a rifle beer brand.
And the crowd goes wild.
And so you can see like the genuine sort of grassroots, no, we're really not having this.
So people are, because the thing with a lot of this sort of culture wars issues, such as, you know, the trans, people, people just aren't aware of it.
The gender reform bill in Scotland, people just don't know about it.
Unless you like, you know, read the, like the middle part of the newspaper where it gets really boring, you're not going to know about it.
So this is interesting that actually has resonated through everybody.
Yeah, because popular culture figures are disseminating the message.
We're not having this.
And that's great, actually.
I've really had to be a bit humble on this.
But no, fair enough.
I thought this was going to go nowhere.
I thought it was going to be an internet boycott from a bunch of political figures.
OK, so they've got like 5 million followers on it.
Fair enough.
That will be 5 million people who won't drink bad light.
But that's nothing in the great scheme of things.
But apparently they saw their market value plummet 5 billion in the first week after this, which is surprising, which I'm sure they weren't happy with.
This is a 4% drop, which doesn't sound that terrible, but if you're the CEO of Ansher Bush or whatever it's called, you're going to be like, hang on, why the hell is that down?
What the hell's going on here?
Why is everyone on social media calling us evil?
There are beer industry publications, and I found this one from brewbound.com.
One of their analysts said the increased declines for Bud Light were apparent, though not completely earth-shattering in terms of magnitude, but what the interesting thing to monitor here is whether this continues as a trend.
And the thing is, I think this actually has the possibility to continue as a trend, because when these things get sort of cemented in, people shame each other in the, you know, when they go to the off-license.
It's like, you buying Bud Light, mate?
And they'll be like, you know, good point, I'll get a different one, you know.
So that's the sort of thing that can actually get ingrained in a community.
And sometimes companies will make a calculation that the Furore will then spur the other side, the other tribe, to buy more of it.
But woke lefties... Not in the case of Bud Light!
Woke lefties aren't going to be drinking Bud Light!
Most woke lefties don't drink anyway.
They can't handle it.
And if they do drink, it'll be something like a Mimosa.
Or Prosecco.
Yeah, Prosecco.
Which is delicious, admittedly.
But it's not manly.
So that's why we drink horrible tasting stuff like whiskey.
Which is exactly correct, yes.
But yeah, so their sales were down, depending on where they're checking, between 7 and 10% for that week.
That's big.
Yeah, that's big for one week.
That's a big drop.
Particularly as you're coming into spring, when beer sales should be, people are out having barbecues and things.
Easter weekend and stuff like that.
Man, yeah.
And so, yeah, exactly.
So this is not good for them.
So I say keep it up and make sure their entire company goes down, basically.
So, what came to light is the person in charge of the decision to bring Dylan Mulvaney on as an influencer for Bud Light.
Did you see the interview with her?
I saw reports of the interview because literally days before Dylan Mulvaney was announced as the new influencer of Bud Light, she did this interview where she said that she wanted to update the fratty branding of Bud Light with inclusivity.
This was Alyssa Heinerscheid, who's the executive in charge of this.
Oh, there it is, yeah.
Who could have expected?
It was a left-wing woman who made that decision.
Again, we've seen this so many times.
Silicon Valley Bank.
All these places.
What is the Bitcoin place?
FTX?
FTX, whatever it's called.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
All these places.
They get, like, these people.
It's also like the S&P and, like, Jacinda Ardern.
They come in, like, I know exactly what to do.
Yeah, I'm going to... Everyone calm down.
I'm a white woman, and I'm here to fix everything.
But this wasn't broken.
Yeah.
Which is exactly her point actually, right?
She's a Harvard graduate and was like, well, it's essential for the brand to attract more female and younger drinkers because otherwise there will be no future for Bud Light.
Yeah.
Isn't that an actual NPC dialogue tree?
Yeah, yeah.
How many times have we heard this in everything, right?
And so this also seems to be completely in the face of what the actual facts are.
Apparently Ainsha Bush Beer, she says, has been in decline for a really long time.
But the thing is, it's the number one market share.
13% in the United States.
It's like, I wish I could decline that successfully to be the number one.
And it sounds like executives just sort of gave the social media marketing department, the influencer funding department, they just said, Oh, we don't really understand what you, what you do.
We don't know what TikTok is, but you know, here's some money and just, you know, make, make our beer cool.
Give it to some people, make our beer cool with, uh, with, you know, whatever, whatever it is you do, raise awareness.
And they didn't realize that somebody would be like, I know what I'm going to do.
I'm going to give this money, I'm going to sponsor the most divisive, the most anti our actual demographic who drinks Bud Light.
That's where we're going to give the money.
Can I find the most obvious grifter?
You put them on the can and they did.
But I love the, you know, if we don't get younger drinkers, there will be no future for Bud Light.
So you're a lady who is a Harvard graduate who lives in California and you have no idea what the centre of your country is like.
Yeah, yeah.
She has no idea that there are literally a hundred million rednecks in America.
People live in bubbles.
I mean, this is why the SNP and other governments go so weird because they're just surrounded by other sort of politicos and NGOs and special interest groups.
They think that's what the whole country is instead of just the small cabal that's influencing them.
And it's mental, because this corporation, their profit was $4.95 billion.
They had a 7% rise in productivity in 2023, in the beginning of 2023.
So it's like, she's like, oh, this beer brand's dying.
It's like, what are you talking about?
You've got record profits.
You've got a massive core demographic that you sell your beers to.
In fact, this year, up until the Dylan Mulvaney ads came out, the share price was on a total charge.
It went up like 40% or something.
Because the company's doing really, really well.
And obviously, she wouldn't be a leftist if she wasn't a massive hypocrite.
She, of course, herself was a frat girl.
Because the next one, if you can scroll down and just see the pictures.
Scroll down and believe this one, there you go.
There's her on the left, drinking in a frat in 2006.
Is that a condom?
Yeah.
Probably full of beer or something.
Probably full of Bud Light.
So she's deleted all these, but this was a 2006 booze fest.
Drinking a Rolling Rock there.
Anyway, so the head ups at AB must have been like...
The hell is going on?
We're on this colossal roll, we're doing really well, and then suddenly everyone hates us and that's a crash.
According to the reports of the Daily Wire, the senior executives were not aware of the partnership that has dominated the headlines for weeks.
The decision was made by a low-level marketing staffer According to two sources close to this situation.
The partnership was taken by some low-level marketing staffer who helps manage the hundreds of influencer engagements they do.
It was a mistake.
It's like, yeah.
So was that person fired?
And if not, why not?
I mean, they literally just cost you billions, right?
Thing is, they were probably doing exactly what they were mandated to do.
It's just now they've been like, oh my God, and now they've got the processes in where, no, before you do anything, you've got to bring it to the board and bring it through our oversight mechanisms, which they didn't have before.
And so, uh, Anheuser-Busch put out a non-apology, which this, like, really annoyed a lot of people, and honestly, right, until they literally come out and say, we are sorry for s-ing on America with someone like Dylan Mulvaney, uh, don't, don't take them, don't take this as any kind of apology, because it's not, right?
But it's really funny how they can't apologise.
Because if they apologise, all the leftists are going to be like, what do you mean you're sorry?
Oh, it means you hate us.
We're going to boycott you.
We never bought it anyway, but we're going to boycott you and we're going to drag you through the mud.
Exactly.
That's the thing.
Don't worry about their demographic.
They don't buy your products.
Yeah.
They don't buy any products.
They don't have any money.
They're all poor.
Peasants.
All of their products are purchased through companies that have their headquarters somewhere in the Seychelles Islands.
Yeah.
And they're manufacturing made in China.
Yeah.
Like, it's literally like the Apple Corporation.
By Uyghur Muslim slaves.
Yeah, exactly.
Because left-wing people love slavery.
The Guardian was funded by slavery.
That's true.
They came out defensive, didn't they?
Yeah.
Anyway, like I said, average left-winger being massive hypocrites.
But this was just cringe.
We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.
We're in the business of bringing people together over a beer.
It's like, then why did you put Dylan Mulvaney on a can?
Yeah, we were trying not to be divisive when we put this offensive trans caricature on a can.
But the thing is, weirdly, it would be way less divisive if you put Alex Jones on the can.
He's probably the demographic that drinks Bud Light.
He's the sort of guy who should move to a lower calorie beer.
I bet your average Bud Light drinker not only knows who Alex Jones is, but has watched his shows.
And enjoys it.
And again, I say this with complete love, because I think this is the sort of demographic I would like to see do well.
Or Blair White.
If you're going to try and go woke and be trans-inclusive, like, get a hot one.
Like Blair White.
Or a right-wing one.
A right-wing, yeah.
Yeah, exactly, right?
But anyway, the CEO of Anheuser-Busch says, I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands, and our partners.
I spend much of my time traveling across America and listening to and learning from our customers, distributors, and others.
Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across the nation.
Says ChatGPT, right?
Because that's what that sounds like.
Yeah.
Also, I didn't hear an apology there.
I didn't hear an I'm sorry in that.
And until Alex Jones is on the beer can, I won't assume that they have given an apology.
But of course, the marketing department were like, right, we're down like 10%.
We've lost billions.
We've got to turn this around.
And so what we're going to do is crank out a Patriot advert.
Let's watch.
In fairness to them, they did turn this around very quickly.
"Clinic America." Is that horse talking?
"Rooted in the heart of America." Yeah, talking horse rides across the street.
Found in a community where a handshake is a sure contract.
Brewed for those who found opportunity in challenge and hope in tomorrow.
Raised by generations.
White men.
Oh, white men in the land.
Oh, my God.
Is it 2012 again?
You can tell them it's really been like this.
This is a story bigger than beer.
This is the story of the American spirit.
That horse, when it went up in its feet like that, it was identifying as a giraffe.
But you can tell, like, right, okay, look, just crank out the Americana, crank out the white men drinking bud.
We've got to save this.
Wokeness gone!
Obliterated!
Horses!
Handshakes!
Yeah, exactly!
Cowboys!
Beer!
You know, like, good job, MAGA Patriots, by the way.
You know, but you can see how just so obviously contrived this is.
Yeah.
This is just, they've cranked this out because they think that you'll be, oh, well, we forgive you now.
It's like, no, this is not acceptable because they haven't just come out and expressly disavowed their own actions, which they should do.
Yeah.
DeSantis had a good take on this.
He was asked very impromptuly, and he was just like, why would you want to drink Bud Light?
If we don't push back, they're going to keep doing it.
If you don't have conservative beer drinkers, they're going to feel that.
It's righteous.
Push back is an order.
I'll never drink Bud again.
That's great.
Yeah, fair point.
It's not enough for them to simply produce like Duff Patriot beer, you know?
Like, we're sorry, please buy.
No, no.
Right.
And this meme I posted on Twitter, I think really sums it up, right?
Corporations don't have souls.
They literally just want your money.
They will produce Duff Pride and Duff Patriot in the same brewery, just to fool you into buying their product.
I wish corporations just wanted our money.
Because of ESG, all this stuff, to get actual funding from BlackRock and Vanguard and all the rest of it, they've got to do all this, like, inclusivity stuff.
And obviously anything that's inclusive is actually excluding someone.
Like two thirds of the population can go away now.
But anyway, see, that's that.
They haven't apologised, so don't forgive them.
Yeah, I do not.
OK, moving on.
I've got the collapse of Scotland's woke government.
I don't know if people have been following this, but the SNP, for years they've been presenting a face of this real nice, wokey... Mammy Nicola looks after you and all this sort of stuff.
Very Angela Merkel, isn't it, actually?
Yeah.
Whereas the reality is they're very authoritarian and pushing through all this ridiculous ideological stuff like the gender reform bill, which we'll get onto in a moment.
But for years, Nicola Sturgeon and her husband, Peter Murrell, had an iron grip over the SNP in Scotland.
She was the leader.
He was the chief executive of the SNP.
And they basically had an elective dictatorship because they're single issue.
Independence for Scotland!
Freedom!
That always gave them a majority at the election because people don't look too deeply into what they... If there's a real emotive message that resonates with people they'll vote for it and independence does that.
Even if the actual sort of technocratic side of actually administering government they absolutely failed on and education, health, life expectancy, drug abuse, everything is just getting so much worse in Scotland.
And they turned Scotland into this authoritarian woke hellhole, they pushed through ridiculous legislation because there's no real opposition in Scotland.
There's the name person scheme that made every child was going to be the sort of ward of the state.
Their state was going to be responsible rather than the parents which is really man hugely hugely dangerous like soviet union level stuff hey that got cancelled eventually because it was a terrible idea should we be the soviet union well as coined us yeah well i mean a lot of people in scotland you know we should be the soviet union because that's not england that's not No, they've got us there!
You're absolutely right!
S&P die hard!
Jeremy Corbyn!
Jeremy Corbyn would love to be the Soviet Union.
If we actually had the Soviet Union and the UK, Jeremy Corbyn would be a source of meat for us.
I think he's got the wrong idea about what it would actually transpired to be.
The S&P also had the offensive behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Act, which basically made singing songs at the football illegal.
That got rolled back as well. - Absolute Cromwellian killjoys here.
Christmas over, fun over. - Yeah, and obviously it was gonna be very, they're very partisan with how they apply regulations like this.
So Rangers fans, who are generally Unionists, want to stay in the UK, they get punished.
And Celtic fans who want independence don't get punished.
The Gender Reform Bill more recently came through as to lower the age that children can transition.
It makes it much easier to self-identify.
Put male rapists in women's prisons.
It allows male rapists into women's prisons and, you know, everybody said, wait a minute, if you just let people self-identify, so, you know, if I get arrested, sent to prison, you know, say, for example, I'm the S&P treasurer, I get sent to... Which is an entirely likely outcome, actually.
Yeah, I'm too good with numbers to be the S&P treasurer.
Yeah, if I get sent to prison, I can just be like, oh wait a minute.
And in court, during the process, I can just be like, oh by the way, I'm a woman.
And everybody has to start referring to me as she.
Come in like Dylan Mulvaney.
Yeah, yeah.
Not even.
Day one of a woman.
Don't even need to put that much effort.
If we scroll down on this page, you can see.
So this is the male rapist that was going to go to prison.
And you can see the bulge In the clip, not that.
That's his ex-wife.
That is just what a woman looks like in Scotland.
Here he is.
Oh, maybe they don't have the actual... Keep going down.
There should be a picture of the bulge.
There we go!
There's the look!
Average Scottish woman with a little swollen vagina.
Anyway, the SNP are right on board with critical race theory and every other malignant cultural ideology.
Here's a video of the current leader of the SNP, Humza Yousaf, lambasting Scotland's institutions for being run by white people.
The Lord President, white.
The Lord Justice Clerk, white.
Every High Court judge, white.
The Lord Advocate, white.
The Solicitor General, white.
The Chief Constable, white.
Every Deputy Chief Constable, white.
Every Assistant Chief Constable, white.
The Head of the Law Society, white.
The Head of the Faculty of Advocates, white.
Every Prison Governor, white.
And not just justice.
The chief medical officer—white.
The chief nursing officer—white.
The chief veterinary officer—white.
The chief social work adviser—white.
Almost every trade union in this country is headed by people who are white.
In the Scottish Government, every director general is white.
Every chair of every public body is white.
White.
They're all Scottish, mate.
I don't know what to tell you.
Scotland!
Scotland is 96% white.
I mean obviously under the SNP that's changing because diversity is strength and stuff.
This is my long-running joke against Count Dankula.
Every time he posts something about Humza Yousaf, I just post the long shanks.
trouble with scotland's is full of scots yeah you know like sorry like that's hums and youssef's entire position yeah but i mean imagine going to like bradford or luton and being like you know everyone here pakistani you know like no that'd be a hate crime that's literally that would be a hate crime i would be in trouble i would go to jail for being a racist yeah doing that you know because there's not equality because it's racial discrimination yeah like is it i only i need The way he says it with such venom as well.
I'm sick of all these white Scots around me.
It's like, mate, you live in Scotland.
I don't know what to tell you.
But then people accept it.
Most people are just like, oh yeah, no, I guess I've got to go along with this.
That's the thing.
What point does he think he's making?
What points do you think he's making?
Look, all the people in position of power in Scotland are Scottish.
Isn't that how it should be?
Like, you know, if I went to Pakistan and they were all, like, from Timbuktu or something, I'd be like, hey, that's a bit weird, isn't it?
Are you under occupation from North Africa or something?
Yeah, I saw a video of Jada Franzen talking about people, and she was saying black in the same way, and the SNP... Hamza Yusuf, Jada Franzen... Jada could probably run a country, but...
Well, I mean, her political party isn't falling apart, is it?
It's not bankrupt.
Hasn't spent all the money on motorhomes.
But yeah, I mean, people will obviously say Jada Franson.
Jada Franson's, you know, racist, whatever.
But nobody says that about Humza Yousaf.
I don't know.
It's just, it's interesting.
The double standards.
And he's got a much bigger platform for his racism as well.
Yeah.
He's way more racist to a lot more people.
Yeah, I know.
Also, the SNP, I mean, the Scottish National Party, they're nationalists.
And they've aligned themselves.
They've marched along with what's called All Under One Banner, where all the independence movements march together.
So they align themselves with ethno-fascists, such as Sean Nangale.
So they're marching with who, to be honest, Jada Franzen would look very moderate compared to them.
It's ridiculous.
But yes, suddenly the SNP have collapsed.
So Sturgeon resigned, her husband Peter Murrell who's the chief exec and other SNP bigwigs have been arrested or resigned.
So what happened?
So six years ago Sturgeon promised a second referendum on Scottish independence after losing the first one after enough Scottish people sobered up in time to realise it's a terrible idea.
But what I love about this, what I love about the SNP right, They were going up on this trajectory where 45% of Scots were like, yeah, we want to leave.
And then the referendum happened, 55% were like, nah, we're not having it.
And then you notice it's going down ever since.
That's weird, because you'd expect it to go up.
Especially with Brexit, which most Scots wanted to stay in Europe.
Exactly.
So I can only gather from this is that the Scottish people have been looking at the SNP and being like, do we actually want to be trapped in a country with these people?
Maybe England's oversight actually isn't such a terrible thing when it comes to Humza Yousaf or Nicola Sturgeon.
That must be it, right?
And there's a lot of Scots moving to England now because you pay more tax in Scotland.
So if you're a high earner, which, you know, you need the high earners in the country because they're the people who pay for everything.
All the other Scots can go on the dole because it's got a big benefits culture.
So yeah, they're moving down to Northumbria and places like that.
But yeah, so after Brexit, in 2017, the SNP said we're going to have a push for a second independence referendum.
So to support the second referendum, Peter Murrell launched a fundraiser and raised about £660,000.
We covered part of this yesterday.
I think that's a really low number.
Yeah.
That's not very much, is it?
Yeah.
£600,000?
I mean, Nigel Fry has probably raised millions.
Can I have £600,000, please?
Well, I mean, I would like £600,000.
Oh, no, it's a lot of money.
Yeah, well, yeah, OK, proportionally.
But when it's the entire independence movement of Scotland... Yeah, yeah.
I mean I guess this was one fundraiser.
They also had like 100,000 members who I guess donated.
And they also had whatever money they could, because there's a lot of public spending in Scotland that's unaccounted for, which we'll get on to in a moment.
But this specific, this was the specific thing that got investigated by the by the police under Operation Branchform, because the second referendum never happened, so where did the donations go?
In 2020, there were allegations that the money had been misappropriated and some donors demanded their money back.
Buried in Nicola Sturgeon's garden, apparently.
Yeah, well this is the thing.
So the SNP's new treasurer, Douglas Chapman, quit soon after being appointed.
He said he hadn't been given the necessary financial information to carry out the role.
It's like, if you're the finance chief, surely you get all the financial information, but no, they're holding some back.
Who was holding it back?
You're in charge of all the finances.
I guess the party.
So it was also revealed that the SNP was running low on cash with less than £100,000 in the bank, so the old treasurer, Colin Beattie, stepped back into the role.
And Sturgeon's husband Peter Murrell gave a dodgy loan to the party in 2021.
So this is the chief executive of the SNP loaning over a hundred grand to the party which broke electoral rules and Sturgeon claimed she didn't know about it.
She didn't know about her husband lending over a hundred grand to the political party that she was the leader of.
And her speech was just like well he what he does with his money is separate to me it's like Come on!
Man, who's got a wife that understanding?
You know what I mean?
If I go and spend 50 quid on an air fryer, I'm in trouble.
You know what I mean?
Never mind.
Oh, do you want to borrow £107,000?
He's like, what?
Are you nuts?
I don't know what he does with his money.
He's just my husband.
And it's just my political party that I rule.
Yeah, he just gave it to the political party.
What are you making questions for?
It's ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
So Police Scotland launched an investigation and are now looking at five transactions made while Peter Murrell was still Chief Executive of the party, including at least one that involved the purchase of a car.
It turned out to be a motor home worth £110,000.
I don't know if that's why he lent basically £110,000.
And it was also revealed that the SNP had lost 30,000 members because people were just getting sick and tired, you know, the fire had gone out of the independence movement.
And also they're insufferable woke bigots.
Yeah, people didn't understand the gender reform bill wasn't popular in Scotland.
Only a third of people thought it might even be a good idea.
Two thirds of people were opposed to it.
But there's a lot of, you know, a lot of very woke, active young people in Scotland who haven't, you know, they haven't sort of experienced anything to understand that maybe Sterilising, maiming children might be a bad idea.
Might have some negative side effects.
I tell you though, I am looking forward to the stereotype of the Scots changing because in England, the stereotype of the Scots is actually quite positive, right?
They're sort of big, rugged, sensible, grounded people.
Now I'm looking forward to them being effeminate, city-dwelling losers who've got arms like twiglets.
You're describing me!
No, no!
You're massive!
You're like ten feet tall!
What are you talking about?
But like, you know, the stereotype of the Scots is going to completely invert and I'm here for it, man.
It's going to be great.
I'm not so happy about that.
So Peter Murrell was arrested.
Forensic tents went up.
If you scroll down you can see those tents.
Detectives were seen in the gardens with shovels.
Drew comparisons to Fred West, which is totally unfair.
Fred West could at least be trusted to complete construction projects on time and to a budget.
He wasn't bankrupt.
Yeah, the SNP are a complete shambles, and more resignations followed.
The auditors quit.
Three members of the SNP's Finance and Audit Committee resigned in protest because they were refused access to the books.
Why would you refuse your own Finance and Audit Committee access to the things they need to look at?
I don't know, but in your comparison with Fred West, I mean, like, you say a lot of things about Fred West, but he wasn't a racist, was he?
You know?
Unlike Humza Yousaf, sorry.
- So I know-- - Disable Fred West, by the way. - A leaked video, and he laid some of the greatest parties Bristol's ever seen.
A leaked video showed Sturgeon rubbishing concerns about S&P finances.
So we can see a little clip of this. - The party's never been in a stronger financial position than it is right now.
And that's a reflection of our strength and our membership.
So just a bit of context for us all to remember.
Secondly, I'm not going to get into the details.
That's for Douglas.
That's what he's elected to do.
And of course, this body is the governing body of the party.
But, you know, just be very careful, all of us, about suggestions that there are problems with the party's finances because we depend on donors to donate.
There are no reasons for people to be concerned about the party's finances and all of us need to be careful about not suggesting that there is.
And lastly, we've got to be careful of the NEC.
Yeah, it's also not very convincing, is it?
No, that's her talking to her party saying basically, shut up about all this because we need people to donate and they won't, you know, it's like a Ponzi scheme, you know, people won't donate if they think it's all going to the wall.
Actually, I do think the Ponzi scheme is quite a good description, actually.
Yeah, pretty much everything in life is a Ponzi scheme, though, to be fair.
Apart from subscribing to our website.
We don't promise you anything.
Or signing up to my Patreon!
S&P member of parliament, Joanna Cherry, who's a sort of political rival of Sturgeon, even though she's in the same party, said, I've sat on a number of management boards and I've never seen business conducted in such an inadequate way as it is on the S&P NEC, nor have I experienced the menacing atmosphere in which the business is conducted.
So, clearly, within her own party there's a lot of dissent.
Then Treasurer Colin Beattie was arrested.
So, just to the point there, she's literally governing like Stalin, though, isn't she?
There's this atmosphere of fear, she's got all the power centralised in herself and there's huge amounts of corruption.
This is like a Soviet ruler.
Absolutely, and bringing through new legislation.
The SNP brought through the legislation that allowed Alex Salmond to be prosecuted for crimes he'd committed whilst in office, which they wouldn't have been able to do that.
I think he was found...
Not guilty though.
Yeah, because it was a sexual assault charge.
Sexual assault charge, yeah.
And it was all very fishy and murky.
You've got to be careful about what you say, but there was a lot of... A historic sexual assault charge.
There was a lot of, you know, people who were involved in it then, you know, perhaps having a say in, you know, how it was prosecuted as well.
So yeah, it was a very, you know, it was a bit of a conspiracy, but you can't say anything without getting in trouble.
But yeah, Treasurer Colin Beattie was arrested and Humza, who took over from Sturgeon, he's the continuity candidate.
Interestingly, Humza won by 52-48, the exact same.
So he didn't exactly get in with a landslide, it was like Brexit, the exact same number.
Well look, I can't comment on a live police investigation.
It's clearly a very serious matter indeed.
because it's not by a powerful, well, there you go, Humza, are you legitimate?
But he's replacing Sturgeon.
He was the sort of picked candidate by Sturgeon.
So here's him giving a little interview. - Well, look, I can't comment on a live investigation.
It's clear I've got to see this matter indeed. - Have you suspended him from the party?
Have you suspended him from the party or the group?
I've said already that people are innocent until proven guilty.
That's the premise.
Will you take him off the Public Audit Committee in the meantime?
Look, again, I'll consider that.
I'll have to speak to Colin Beattie.
My understanding is he's still in the police station being questioned.
Clearly, when he's off that, I'll need to have a word with Colin.
Not about the live police investigation.
We can't speak about the detail of that.
But clearly, there are pertinent issues around his role.
public audit committee and his role of course as the national treasure.
Are you surprised that he's been arrested?
Well yes of course I'm surprised that one of my colleagues has been arrested but you know it's a very serious matter indeed.
Does this threaten to derail what you're talking about here in Parliament this afternoon?
It certainly is not helpful, of course.
I wanted to, and I will, I'm still determined, of course, to articulate what my vision is as a new leader and a fresh start for the government.
So I'll still do that, of course, at 20 minutes past two, and I hope that we can move on to speak about those issues.
But look, I'm not going to take away from the fact that the timing of this is far from ideal.
Now, the police are obviously investigating past activities in the SNP.
Can you guarantee I realise that our treasurer is currently with the police at the moment.
- Oh, certainly, don't believe it is at all.
- No, I'm not. - I'm not. - To transparency.
- So we can stop that there.
- Oh, this is so great, man.
I realize that our treasurer is currently with the police at the moment.
I can't really comment on it, but I don't believe we're a criminal organization.
- Yeah, but that's not the most, like, you know, convincing reply.
I don't believe.
I don't believe we're a criminal organisation.
I'm the leader of this organisation.
I don't believe it's criminal.
I mean, I'd want an equivocal.
Absolutely not.
We're definitely not a criminal organisation.
But yeah, man, I think that's the sort of answer of somebody who doesn't believe his own answer.
You know what I mean?
Or just knows that something worse is going to come out tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah.
Which, I mean, even as we're recording this, Sturgeon could be getting arrested.
So apparently she's going to be arrested soon.
And yeah, that's where we're at for now.
But this corruption investigation is just the tip of the iceberg.
I'll just quickly go through some of the other things hanging over the SNP.
So SNP Minister Natalie McGarry was jailed for embezzling £25,000 from pro-independence groups.
That's maybe where they got the idea.
One random SNP MP?
Yeah, just, you know, they've got access to the money.
There was an £8.3 million fraud probe into SMP-controlled Dundee City Council involving a council employee allegedly selling council-owned property online.
I believe it's been investigated and there's no problem.
The SMP sound like some sort of African dictatorship.
Oh yeah, but you can't even get a suntan in Scotland.
It's a banana republic, but with turnips.
The turnip republic.
Because at least if you're in Mogadishu, it's warm outside.
You know what I mean?
You can have a barbecue.
Yeah, this is pissing me off.
I'll just go lay out in the sun.
Not in Scotland.
And if we move on a couple of tabs, the big one is there was a BBC documentary, go back to that one, the BBC documentary, so the Small Potatoes compared to the fraud alleged in a BBC documentary about a £97 million contract for ferries awarded to To Jim McCall, who's a close pal of the SNP's, which has since ballooned into £150 million and rising.
So they've awarded this contract to one of their cronies, still no ferries.
They tried to do this sort of press release, this photo opportunity launch of the ferries, and people were like, wait a minute, those windows are painted on.
You're like the Del Boy of Scottish politics.
What is this?
Yeah.
And there are rumours of businesses receiving government grants, then donating to the SNP.
Just paint the windows on rudders!
Yeah, either directly or through.
So the next tab is BrewDog, for example.
So BrewDog is a shining success story in Scottish business.
They make loads of money, even though their beer is horrible.
And it tastes like washing up liquid and flowers.
But despite their profits, BrewDog have received over a million pounds in government grants.
Why do they need that?
Why do they need that?
Well, if we move on to the next tab.
Is it a coincidence that Brewdogs support the SNP, donate to them and help with their political campaigning?
Even hosting a photo opportunity for Nicola Sturgeon on the campaign trail?
This would seem to me, they're giving out taxpayers money to businesses that are then donating to the SNP.
That just, you know, I don't know, that looks dodgy to me.
Well it is dodgy.
I'm a stand-up comedian.
The stand comedy clubs in Scotland are owned by the SNP.
They're owned by Tommy Shepard.
An audit showed that the SNP left £2.5 billion in emergency Covid relief money unspent and unaccounted for.
So there's £2.5 billion just sort of in the ether.
This seems like a massive slush fund.
Yeah, absolutely.
If we move on to the next one.
So the Stan Comedy Clubs were one of only... We can ignore that headline, it's nonsense.
Oh yeah, no, that headline is true.
No, it sounds like it's probably true, actually.
Yeah, Leo Kirsch claims he was blacklisted from Scotland's comedy clubs due to S&P criticism.
That's absolutely right.
I thought it was one of the other headlines that said I was blacklisted for not being funny.
That's a total lie.
I'm very funny.
No, no, that is actually true.
Leo is genuinely hilarious.
The last time we did a live event, Leo was genuinely the highlight of it until he was like, look, you cut out all the racist jokes.
I'm like, but they're the funniest.
I'm not even joking about that.
It's genuinely hilarious.
So the stand owned by the SMP, these comedy clubs, were one of only three arts groups in Scotland to receive the full Covid grant of 250 grand.
What a surprise!
There were 203 applicants.
How funny that it was an SMP owned organisation that got that.
It's just all this cronyism and all this money flowing around between like, you know, the SMP, the businesses owned by the SMP or its supporters and then back to the SMP.
It's so obviously corrupt.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like something that would happen, you're in the Kremlin or something like that.
It's literally like Putin's finances.
Yeah, yeah.
And also having the political party, so Tommy Shepard, who's an SMP politician, he owns, he founded and owns the stand comedy clubs.
Having them owned by the SMP means that no comedians can criticise the SMP without Jeopardising their career.
Like me.
I've been blacklisted from the stand.
You know what I mean?
It's ridiculous.
Anyway, so there's all these...
Question marks hanging over, you know, all these boxes still to be opened with regards to potential SNP fraud.
But there's no Scottish election till 2026.
Really?
Yeah.
So they can stay in power for a while, unless, you know, more, unless everybody gets arrested.
And also, Humza is challenging Westminster over the gender reform bill.
So it'll be interesting to see what happens.
I mean, three years is a long time in politics.
So the SNP could continue with their agenda to turn Scotland into this woke banana republic.
The Stalinist child transitioning.
Well, it literally is the most extreme version of everything as well, isn't it?
It's genuinely mental.
I don't know what's wrong with Scottish people at this point.
Why do you vote for this?
It's devolution.
So the systems that have been set up in devolution, there's no second house.
So with Westminster legislation, number one, you get proper scrutiny because people are focused on Westminster.
Number two, there's a second chamber.
So you've got the House of Lords that'll boot out any legislation that, you know, scrapes through the bit that's bad.
Yeah, and having that elective dictatorship in Scotland really means that the SNP can do whatever they want to a certain extent.
God, that is awful.
Anyway, so let's talk about GB News, shall we?
I'm actually a fan of GB News, you know, as these things go.
I actually don't get time to watch television or anything because I'm constantly working, or studying, or raising my kids, or being a husband, blah blah blah.
But I see clips going around the internet and they're always All right.
Honestly, GB News seems like what the BBC should be.
An alternate reality BBC.
Where it's not awful, and it's not obviously hating the country in which it operates.
And sometimes it has some funny people on it.
And it'll touch subjects like the grooming gangs.
I did this timeline of the grooming gangs the other day, which I thought was a very valuable thing to do.
Because there's been a lot of pushback recently from the left on the concept of the grooming gang itself.
what the ethnic makeup of the grooming gangs are and blah blah blah blah and so I thought I would just go through in very linear fashion the public knowledge not because a lot of the time it's like well this person interviewed seven people and this was kind of secret knowledge has been suddenly revealed no no no I just went through the public statements and we know that there is uh as you can see from the people convicted a particular pattern here.
And there's been a lot of denials from people like Ella Cockbane that are just obvious lies.
And I go through explicitly how she's lying about what she says in this live stream.
So, and we and GB News are practically the only places in all of Britain that talk about this.
It's mental.
I mean, the Times has done some amazing reporting on it.
But yeah, on television?
I mean, I know the BBC years ago had a drama.
Three girls.
Amazing drama.
It caused the London mosque attack.
Yeah, but it was a genuine look.
I mean, it didn't show the absolute worst of the grooming gangs, but it definitely showed the impact and made it real.
But that was years ago now.
That was years ago.
And it's still going on.
That's the problem.
But yeah, like I said, very few watchable media outlets actually talk about this.
It's literally just GB News and us, as far as I can tell.
Places like Navarra Media would never touch this.
Well, they deny it and obfuscate it.
Well, exactly.
Of course they do.
They go, well, we've got our expert Ella Cockbain to tell us it's actually all the white men, which is why it's all white men being arrested for it.
But anyway, so I found this article on PressGazette.co.uk, and I found it hilarious, right?
From Eamonn Holmes to Andrew Doyle.
I watched GB News for 18 hours.
Okay, nobody watches anything for 18 hours, right?
That's a weird, like, standard set.
But he wanted to see what a typical GB News day looks like from now, by Bron Ma.
And he begins with this.
People say a lot of things about GB News, that it's riddled with glitches, that it's a hotbed of right-wing conspiracies, and that nobody watches.
It's like, well, look, if it was a hotbed of right-wing conspiracies, you'd get a massive audience for that.
Like, look at Alex Jones.
There's millions on the radio listening to him.
Because it's just nothing but right-wing conspiracies.
They're fascinating, they're fun.
They're interesting and often they turn out to be true.
Remarkable success rate actually.
Well there's things, some of the stuff like there's Matthew Sweet is a journalist who's always, he's got a real vendetta against GB News and he's always saying oh they're spreading conspiracy theories but then he was arguing with me and he was saying yeah the spreading conspiracy theories like the Covid lab leak theory
And then like literally the next week, the COVID lab leak theory was found by the FBI and other credible government agencies to be the leading presumed cause of the COVID outbreak.
I mean, you know, it just happens to be that they had a lab in Wuhan studying novel coronaviruses and suddenly there's an outbreak at this exact location.
I mean, what a coincidence, if not, right?
Yeah.
Sorry, I'm going to be slightly suspicious of this.
But anyway, right-wing conspiracy theory.
I'm going to have to check YouTube terms and services after this, see if we're even allowed to say that, because YouTube, like, no, you're not allowed to say things that are probably true.
Yeah.
So, they say that last month, Angelos Frangopoulos told staff at GB News that it was entering phase three of its development and will be cutting costs and inefficiencies, because they've shown that they've lost ten times as much money as they've earned, which is not good.
But then, if your advertisers have been constantly under attack by lying left-wing people, what do you expect?
So, they do maul and cope and seethe and possibly dilate over the fact that GB News does have an audience.
They're angry about this.
People actually like watching news that doesn't say, hey, you know what you are?
You're white.
And do you know what that means?
It actually means you're bad.
This country?
Evil.
Slavery, by the way.
You know, GB News isn't constantly doing the country down.
And so, unsurprisingly, British people like watching it.
I mean, so I see the viewing figures, and it's going up.
Like, it's steadily going up and it's overtaking, you know, maybe six months ago, a year ago, it was like sometimes overtaking Sky.
Now it's consistently overtaking the BBC, BBC News, and consistently overtaking Sky.
That's great, because like, Obviously we get lots of reach on the internet, but one demographic we don't reach are the people who sat in their living rooms flicking through channels.
Obviously we're not on TV, but that means we get to dodge Ofcom, which I would never want to have to deal with, to be honest.
But anyway, so Press Gazette set about watching the entire schedule on Wednesday the 22nd of March.
Were you on TV that day?
I can't remember.
Probably.
I'm on it most days.
From experience, it turned out it took it both respectable straight news and fare that might be at home on primetime Fox News.
Now, you say that as a left winger, you're like, oh, that's evil.
But to a lot of other people, that's actually, oh, what, the Tucker Carlson guy?
Yeah.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah, yeah.
And so you actually... Greg Gotfield.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
And so it's very much like Owen Jones saying, well, Boris said there were burkas and bumboys.
It's like, to you, that's bad, but to a lot of people, oh, did he?
Oh, Boris, okay.
You've got to remember.
So it begins with breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel and this he finds very fairly straight-laced actually.
I've never watched it because obviously there's no way I've got time to watch TV at six in the morning.
Yeah yeah but it's great Eamonn Holmes is just like man he's like the best broadcaster there's ever been like you know maybe Terry Wogan but Terry Wogan's passed away unfortunately.
Everything's been terrible since Terry Wogan died but But yeah, Eamon Holmes, absolutely brilliant.
And I've been on the Breakfast Show with him and he's just... Man, he just gets the perfect balance of funny and sort of telling you what's going on.
Well, that's what he says.
Holmes and Webster are entertaining hosts.
Her reactions provide a proxy for the audience as Holmes says whatever's on the top of his mind.
And just, you know, about funny things.
And so, right, Cain, that's a good advert from someone who really wants to do you down, unfortunately.
Um, but he does, he does find a problem.
Well, a GB News guest once dropped a microphone in the toilet, but instead of throwing it in the bin, they kept it here and it's not reliable.
It has been since disposed of apparently.
So there was a very small technical glitch that happens on live TV.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's from somebody calling in.
So, you know, appearing in a pop-up, it's not in the studio, the glitch.
What are you going to do?
Yeah.
But this is an interesting bit.
GB News has made an effort to court unionists in Northern Ireland, hiring the Democratic Unionist Party's Arlene Foster as a host and stepping in to cover the Orange Marches last year when the BBC dropped its live coverage.
British Broadcasting Corporation isn't pro-unionist in Northern Ireland, won't cover the pro-unionist marches.
relies on GB News to do that.
That's peculiar, isn't it?
Yeah.
Why would the BBC not cover the pro-unionist side?
It's because the British Broadcasting Corporation isn't for Britain anymore.
That's exactly right.
That's the reason GB News even exists.
I've been saying this for ages, but this, you can see, is evidence of the insurgent power that is against Britain itself, that has taken over British institutions.
There's no rational reason that the British Broadcasting Corporation would not support the unionist cause.
It's inconceivable in previous eras, and yet here we are.
I just found that to be a very revealing thing for them to include in this article.
You should be pro-union.
It's like, who wouldn't be?
But they said the program was otherwise quite light on politics, but wasn't terribly controversial apart from Eamonn Holmes saying, one of the biggest providers of school lesson plans to spark controversy by selling resources, references, sex toys and lots of other things.
That's controversial, is it?
And also, I mean, it was true.
Well, he says it's not quite true.
As was made clear later, the school lesson plans under discussion did refer to sex toys, but did not involve actually bringing them into schools.
Small mercies, oh thank God!
I mean, what?! !
We're not actually bringing the sex toys to the school for the kids, we're just telling them all about them and here's some pictures.
What's your problem, bigot?
This is like, you know when you go in a fact checker and it says, oh this statement is false and then underneath it says, oh well actually they put an apostrophe out of place so it means, you know, I changed the meaning of the sentence, blah blah blah.
Exactly.
I mean, if you took the comma out, references sex toys is a perfectly salient sentence.
Yeah.
Like, and you were literally like, it refers to sex toys.
So he might be saying references sex toys without that comma.
So he's not wrong.
And you're just being insanely pedantic.
And in fact, that comma couldn't possibly be there because number one, he's speaking.
So you can't, you don't say comma.
And also he wouldn't be saying selling resources and references because you don't sell references.
How do you sell a reference?
That's nonsensical on the face.
So this is, this is just, he's trying to create a, It's insanely pedantic, but the thing is, it's being pedantic in defence of sexualising kids.
It's like, why are you doing that?
Yeah, surely you should be on the side and be like, no!
He just brought to my attention the fact that they're referencing sex toys in school!
Why would you need to reference sex toys?
As a father, you don't need to do that.
You do not need your kids knowing about that, right?
Anyway, so moving on.
They've got TikTok.
Not on my watch, they believe.
My kids do not have social media.
But the next one is To The Point, which is 9.30 to 11.50am.
And this is the quote, first turn to the right.
Right, good.
Excellent.
This was a show hosted by Daily Mail columnist Andrew Pears and broadcaster Bev Turner.
Contrary to what progressive critics of GB News might expect, the pair and their guests were relatively critical of Boris Johnson in discussions.
Really?
What did they think it was?
Did they think it was going to be like Scottish media with the SNP?
Where it's just like the glorious leader Boris Johnson with the halo of the sun behind him and the march of progress underneath him.
Boris Johnson does something they don't like and they're relatively critical.
Are you crazy?
What I've noticed being on GB News and I've done BBC shows and shows on other channels and Radio 4 and stuff and when you go on the BBC I'm always like everybody else has the exact same opinions, the exact same opinions.
And I'm almost there as a sort of, you know, the sort of, um, bringing out- The crazy.
The crazy.
He doesn't even believe women can have penises.
Yeah, yeah.
And then, uh, and then like on GB news, like, so the headliners, usually I'm on with, uh, with, you know, a real variety of people.
There'll be like a gay dude, somebody from whatever ethnic minority, so it's not like, it sort of gets diversity of opinion rather than just diversity of identity.
But that's what makes it fun.
It achieves diversity without even trying for it, which is, you know, by booking people with a sort of balance of opinions, you end up getting the sort of diversity that the BBC is straining so hard for.
But like, hey, you want to hear from a plurality of opinions, right?
Because obviously, what are you talking about if you don't have this plurality of opinions?
And this is what makes things like the BBC and Question Time so embarrassingly boring.
When Peter Hitchens was on Question Time, that was the only time in the last three years I've wanted to watch it.
Why?
Because I know Peter Hitchens is going to be in contradiction to whatever the prevailing narrative is.
But what I love about this is the left wing is just like, by the way, guys, I know you're not going to believe this, but they actually don't just endorse everything the party leader says.
It's like, but we do.
What are you talking about?
Everyone does that.
How can they not do that?
It's like, yeah, but not everyone is like you.
You know, this is a, this is a big tell from your own side, you know, that you're all on the same page on everything all the time.
I mean, he goes on, but they have the deputy leader of UKIP on.
Great.
And later on they have the editor of the Financial Times on.
It's like, great!
I want to see this giant plurality of positions.
That's what the BBC should be like.
I hate to tell you this, but the BBC should have Tommy Robinson on.
To represent a large constituency of people who are not being served.
Especially as they've all got to pay their bloody licence fee.
And by not platforming people like that, you're pushing them underground where ideas can get, you know, without being challenged, without having any sort of balance or moderation or input from other people, can, you know, spiral.
I think it's what makes them festering and hateful.
Yeah, exactly.
When they don't, they think, right, I know that something true is, I'm saying something true and you won't even engage.
That makes me think that you're just liars.
You know, that makes me think you just hate me.
And so they become hateful in response.
And that's not good.
So, anyway, the 11.50am to 6pm is the GB News Straight Hours, as he describes it.
And this is just basic news that isn't particularly exciting to talk about, because it was presented by Mark Longhurst, who spent 20 years on Sky News, so it's, you know, pretty credible.
It's just good news coverage.
Good quality news coverage.
Good.
I'm glad someone's doing it.
Can't trust the BBC for it.
Can't trust Sky News for it, which is presumably why Mark Longhurst left Sky News.
So I'm glad someone's doing it.
Good, this is a great endorsement.
Again, sorry, the Financial Times Chief Foreign Affairs Columnist was on there.
Relatively impartial, even from the left-wing perspective.
So okay, great.
Good job.
So moving on, 6pm, GB News charges unashamedly into opinion content.
And that's remarkable, because the BBC is unashamedly opinion content 24-7.
TV News has got a good solid six hours of not being opinionated.
But that's okay, and they've got Michelle Dubree there, who, again, not my cup of tea necessarily, but you know, that's fine.
She's got a Remainer and a Brexit Party MEP on to discuss the issues.
Good!
Why isn't every new show on all of these channels like this?
Yeah.
Like, that's how things should be?
Yeah, and it's much more interesting.
Also, Michelle Jubry, I mean, she's from Hull or something like that.
Yeah, she seems like a lovely person.
Yeah, I watch her show quite a lot.
She's very engaging and down-to-earth, and there isn't that sort of veneer of, you know, I just find the BBC, every time, my cousin works for the BBC as a news reporter and she's privately educated and all the rest of it in English and you see that with the BBC, it's this sort of Oxbridge cabal, this priest class that are sort of pontificating to you.
Yeah and you saw that with the Elon Musk interview, that BBC guy the other day, and that to me was just like, I don't want to talk to people like that, but I would be happy, you know, I like watching this.
The Elon Musk interview was very telling because he didn't think that his statement, oh there's hate speech on Twitter, could be challenged.
He just thought it was an accepted wisdom, an accepted truth.
Yeah, so the fact that it was challenged, and then he realized he couldn't justify it without sounding like a complete idiot, because he could have given some of the examples of hate speech that he's seen, but he realized saying it out loud in that situation would have revealed that he was in fact wrong and these weren't but he realized saying it out loud in that situation would have revealed that he was And Elon getting in, so slightly sexist things should be banned, should they?
That was a great trap.
Obviously not, you know, otherwise that's half of the fun on Twitter gone.
Yeah.
So he complains about Michelle Dubry having opposing opinions on, He says, thus far, programmes on GB News have been balanced in the Ofcom sense.
The weight of the commentary certainly leaned right, but there has always been a punchy personality on the other side's argument forcefully, as well as a series of rigidly straight news bulletins throughout the day.
What the hell?
That is a brilliant endorsement of GB News.
But this was not true of the audience's feedback.
Responses from the viewers were overwhelmingly, but not totally, right-leaning, and frequently espoused opinions more forthrightly than anyone on screen.
Well, what are GB News supposed to do about that?
Your audience are saying stuff on Twitter.
And doesn't that show that there's a huge portion of the population that isn't being served by mainstream media?
Yes.
Yes, that's exactly it.
Anyway, moving on to Drink with Nig, and he gives Nigel Farage a surprisingly light grilling here.
A liberal viewer might expect to be more alarmed by Nigel Farage's show than any other on the schedule.
Why?
Why?
Because I mean, I've watched much of Nigel Farage talking, you know, I've spoken to him personally, you know, he's not like some insane crackpot.
But there's this idea, there's this myth on the left that he's a far-right extremist, which is laughable when you actually, you know, look at his policies and stuff.
And all that he's totally irrational and that he's like, breathes fire or something because they've made a caricature out of him through like four or five clips of something taken out of context or whatever.
And so they, like, as he says, he was a much more placid host than others that evening.
He was not completely without incendiary comments though, and this is what the incendiary comments are like.
He claimed that Johnson would likely lose his Uxbridge seat in a by-election because London is going through a very, very big demographic change, and it's a demographic change that suits the Labour Party far more than the Conservatives.
Is that incendiary?
That's just a fact.
Exactly, that is just a fact.
And the thing is, people will say, oh my god, that's far-right extremist myth-making or whatever.
It's true.
But if you say, London's going through a demographic change and it's fantastic and I love it, then they'll be like, oh, you're right.
And it's a good thing that it's happening.
You just have to approve of the fact for it to be a fact.
If you think it's a bad thing that it's happening, or even if you're on the side that says, yeah, this favours the Labour Party, Just recognises that fact, then all of a sudden you're a lying, bigoted racist.
Exactly.
It's not happening.
It's not real.
But he says, you know, the show had the same energy as chatting politics with a fixture of your local old man pub.
Yeah, that's why it's successful.
That's why it's really good.
He's literally got a segment called Talking Pints.
That's the whole ethos of the show.
Yeah, and that's why it works.
And that's what Nigel Farage's charisma has been from day dot.
It's like, yeah, you can hang out and have a beer, you know?
Yeah.
And he's really, he's really sharp.
So is Jacob Rees-Mogg.
And like, actually really good interviewers.
I don't know if you saw the Jacob Rees-Mogg interview with The climate?
Yeah, the climate.
He didn't bombard her, he didn't lambast her, he just drew her out and let her hang herself with her own words.
That's because Mog is a sophisticated and well-educated man, as this person complains about.
He's the most pro-Boris personality of the day, and he actually doesn't spend too much time talking about Mog.
Because, I mean, as you can see, the audience commentary was more intense than Ree's Mog's own.
Because Mog is sensible, and can frame his arguments in a very rational way, and so he has to rely on going, well, the audience didn't... I didn't like the audience, they were a bunch of racists!
Then go take it up with them.
Like, you can literally see their Twitter comments.
Go and complain on Twitter against them, right?
But he says that until now, he'd only seen the channel's commercial advertisements for the first time, because he moves from, like, his YouTube to a Fire Stick or something.
And he says, notably absent from those spots, from the channel's own promotional spots, are Calvin Robinson and Neil Oliver, two of GB News' more controversial personalities, and Best, Calvin and Neil Oliver are brilliant, genuinely watchable and are saying the things that need to be said.
I give them full endorsement, which is probably now why they're going to get fired.
Yeah, Calvin's hugely entertaining.
I don't agree with Calvin on, you know, a lot of things.
I agree with him on everything.
He's hugely entertaining.
And Neil Oliver!
He's so good, isn't he?
I can't believe Neil Oliver's even controversial.
Man, that guy's one of the smartest guys on British TV.
Neil Oliver's monologues have become, in literally a year or two, they've become literally legendary.
I get family members sending me Neil Oliver's monologues.
Like my aunt will send me, have you heard of this guy?
I'm like, yes, obviously I've heard of this guy.
But he's got this great way of channeling the genuine concerns of the regular person in a very articulate way that doesn't
cover over anything or avoid any of the sensitivities of the topic yeah yeah and he does it in an incredibly articulate way yeah and i can't believe we'd be like oh he's controversial personality like no he's honest yeah you know and this is why and he's always posting like the the letters people send him on twitter you can tell people genuinely love him for what he's doing yeah good you know anyway dan whitton's up next 9 to 11 p.m uh dan's show is the closest gb news gets to classic fox news pugilism dan whitton
Dan seems like a kin.
I mean, I don't know him, so I don't know.
You tell me.
But he seems like a very nice chap.
The sort of person my mum would like if I brought him around for a cup of tea.
But Dan Whitton's the Fox News pugilist.
And he criticises Dan Wooten for using the term mainstream media.
As if that's not a thing.
Yeah and he says that he and his guest Amanda Plattell write for the UK's biggest selling newspaper, that'll be the Daily Mail.
So they're sort of saying he's talking about the mainstream media when he's part of the mainstream media.
It's like that's newspapers on TV!
There's no equivalent of the Daily Mail.
Even GB News is far more centrist and stable-footed than the Daily Mail.
No, absolutely.
But even then, they both write for the Daily Mail.
Yeah.
That's a part of the mainstream media.
He didn't say that the mainstream media doesn't exist.
Yeah.
You know, that's what you're trying to imply.
And he's just saying, no, this is a thing.
Yeah.
That's fine.
But, uh, Woodson's show is everything GB News's critics fear the entire channel to be.
Right, okay, well then, you've got the direction that you need to go in there, right?
I suspect Woodson likes it that way.
He obviously relishes biting bloody chunks out of his political opponents whilst running a show rife with opinion and interruptions under a no-spin, no-censorship strapline.
That's great, that's a great endorsement.
If I were Dan Witton, I'd probably put that in my Twitter bio.
But again, it makes him sound really scary, and Dan just doesn't come across as really scary.
And yeah, and he's looking at issues like grooming gangs, and GB News as a whole looks at issues like vaccine harm and gives airtime to questioning, which journalism should be questioning the status quo and questioning accepted wisdom.
So the COVID lab leak theory is a classic example of something that was given airtime on GB News, looked into as a possibility.
GB News was condemned for platforming, you know, far-right conspiracy theories, then it turns out to be, you know, the truth.
Or if not the truth, then the thing that the FBI and various other agencies think is the truth.
It becomes the official narrative about six months after the conspiracy theorists have pointed it out.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, and then finally, headliners.
Never heard of this show.
Probably not very good people on it.
I'm hosting it tonight.
Oh, are you?
Okay.
So you're correct.
I imagine that the author of this will be tuning in.
No, I'm not even joking, actually.
I'm not even joking, right?
Headline is, the light-hearted final programme on GB News' weekday schedule is a marriage of Mock the Week and the BBC's now defunct The Papers programme.
That note is presented by Andrew Doyle, and I imagine, he says, quote, I imagine it is very enjoyable for some people.
It was fun, was it, mate?
You had a good time when you were watching it, did you?
Yeah, and he says it was not right-wing in the partisan sense.
Man, it's not right-wing at all!
There's me and Nick Dixon, and we're like about the only right-wing people.
It's a show, it's three comedians going through the next day's news headlines, the next day's top news stories.
So, man, there's not that many right-wing comedians.
And it's just you guys having some fun?
And it's just, yeah, it's having fun.
Andrew Doyle himself is a lefty.
And he's a brilliant comedian.
He's a brilliant comedian.
Yeah, we have brilliant comedians on.
Like I was on last night with Lewis Schafer, Steve N. Allen from the Mash Report.
So from, you know, the BBC mainstream.
Yeah, I'm surprised they're allowed to go on there.
That's the Mash Report genius.
I think comedians are starting to see which way the wind is blowing.
A lot of BBC comedy is getting cancelled and stuff like this is good.
Nish Kumar isn't getting reinstated.
Man, yeah, because nobody wants to watch.
Why would you?
Nobody wants to watch a sort of shouty ranty swearing lecture that you have to clap at the end instead of laugh.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, it's literally Comedy Central.
Anyway, so yeah, it's not right-wing in the partisan sense.
Doyle and the two comedians appearing alongside him, you don't even get name-dropped.
You and Nick Dixon, Nick, mate, you're just two comedians appearing alongside, you're Andrew Doyle's butlers, basically.
Yeah.
Even headliners, even though it's a sort of comedy look at the papers, were being funny about it.
I mean, it's one of the few places on the television that's queried things like the Tavistock Centre, the Sandefur Clinic, that are transitioning children, giving hormones and puberty blockers to children as young as nine, which is obviously, you know, in ten years' time, when there's the big scandal and thousands of these kids are like, oh my God, you talked me into these pro-indices.
My body has been raised and is fertile and I have cancer.
Yeah, yeah, that's literally gonna be what's happening.
I was just a confused teenager, or even younger than a teenager.
How could you let this happen?
How could you railroad me into this treatment just because you ideologically think that it's the best option for me?
And it's experimental treatment and it hasn't been tested.
How could you let that happen?
People are going to look back and say, well, GB News was one of the places, GB News raised the alarm, you know?
Yeah, again, it's one of those subjects that very few actual media organisations spend any time on.
And so I do think it's completely to GB News' credit for doing that.
So it's very rare.
Again, as far as I can tell, it's literally, of all the media organisations, it's us and GB News that are raising this issue.
But anyway, so he finishes with, what I learned about GB News.
So 18 hours left, later I was left to wonder, who watches GB News?
British people.
Is it one group of diehard fans, or is it a shifting constellation of people who feel they aren't getting what they want from the other broadcasters?
And how much room for growth does that audience have?
Well, actually, I think the second statement is, a shifting constellation of people who feel they aren't getting what they want from the other broadcasters.
That's what it seems to me.
Because I obviously follow on social media, and so I read the comments, what sort of people, I'll click on their profiles, and there is a large sort of swathe of different people, as far as I can tell.
And so he gives GB News Watchathon a final scorecard.
So he goes, the first three are just not very interesting.
But then it's, how right-wing do I feel?
I estimate that I'm 2% more right-wing.
Right, so one day of GB News makes you 2% more right-wing.
That guy is going to be Mussolini by the end of the year.
Mussolini was a communist.
But that's a good conversion rate.
One day's worth is 2%, so two days is worth 4%.
Three days is worth 6%.
Maybe if he watches for an entire week, he'll find himself voting Conservative.
And then eventually, a month later, he's in UKIP.
So that's a good conversion rate.
I was going to say, like, Conservative.
I thought we were saying right wing.
Well, yeah, exactly.
There's a pipeline.
Conservative in 1987.
And then he's like, do I feel more patriotic?
No.
Fine.
But anyway, the virtue signalling against Britain aside, that this chap Bron Maha did, this was actually a fairly reasonable article that actually I thought was a really good endorsement of GB News.
That's why I thought I'd cover it.
Just because, you know, good for GB News.
Sounds like they're doing a good job.
Yeah and for a leftist to come in and review it and just be honest and say like, actually, you know what, I kind of enjoyed it.
I can see why people like this.
So yeah, that's because it's quite good actually.
So anyway, good job GB News and keep doing what you're doing.
Let's go to the video comments.
While we are improving, the dissenting class have been too reactive instead of proactive.
Remember, Klaus Schwab told us what the next manufactured crisis will be.
There will be a tech security crisis that will require a COVID-like response.
Whatever they do, improve your online safety.
This may be their excuse for a digital ID and a way to track your finances.
They'll sneak in central bank digital currencies, internet access, travel restrictions, and more.
Tell everyone you know what's ahead and to see past the propaganda.
Right, so that's right-wing conspiracy theory on Thursday the 20th of April, right?
Right, so all I'm saying is come September, this will be the official government position.
Right?
Right.
Because I think that's probably true.
Yeah.
You know, they doubtless want essential digital currency, digital IDs, total control of the internet.
They doubtless want all of these things.
Yeah.
So that's the conspiracy theory.
Klaus Schwab foreshadowed some sort of digital cyber attack that's going to cause massive problems and justify all of this.
And by September, we'll be in it.
Yeah.
Six months.
So the issue with the white grooming gangs is that unlike the Pac-Men, they don't receive massive multi-million dollar defenses from the government to prevent them from going to jail.
They do not have their crimes covered up by the police like the Pac-Men.
They do not do their crimes because of racial or religious reasons.
There's also the issue that they seem to get very low sentences compared to the native population, as well as the fact that when they do get out of jail, they don't appear to be punished or ostracized by their own community and seem to be brought back into the fold quite readily.
I think he's talking about the Pakistani Grooming Gangs there.
Right!
Yeah, Americans and their terminology.
But he has a point though.
I've been doing a lot of reading into the Grooming Gangs because of course I had to do that stream and I'm going to do further ones and it really seems to be that there's just widespread community acceptance of this and it's just like...
Yeah, like I said to you before we started, how many people could you phone up if you had captured some girl?
Yeah.
And they're like, none.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But they all phone up their brothers and cousins and neighbours and stuff like this.
Geez!
I'll send you across the quotes from the victims and stuff like this and it's just like...
And since we're talking to my mate, Louis, who's an Egyptian Muslim, he's furious!
Because he's like, I'm getting tired with this!
You know what I mean?
And he's like, it's not even just like Pakistani Muslims, it's like a specific place in Pakistan.
Was it Kapur or something?
Nearpur.
Yeah, nearpur.
Literally 70% of the Pakistanis in Britain come from that one location, which is described on Wikipedia as very rural and conservative.
Right.
So backwards, basically.
And one of the things that these studies are showing is it is Pakistani Muslims.
A lot of the time, as your Egyptian friend, of course, is going to be like, that doesn't happen in Egypt.
I'm sure it doesn't happen in Egypt.
It seems to be like a regional tribal culture that is engaging in that.
Not that there's no other Muslims from other places or anything like Yeah, yeah.
But it's just the consistency of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Implies that this is something this region specific has.
Yeah.
But it's not Iranians doing it, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like... Anyway, let's move on to some comments.
Oliver says, always nice to see Leo on the show.
Oh, you're getting some good reviews finally.
Oh, thanks!
Cheers!
Yeah, that'll go in the poster.
Dunkey on the SMP gets you good reviews.
To be fair though, I really enjoyed this segment about the SMP.
Radchek was right, said, fun fact, the reason light beers are the most popular isn't because of the taste or alcohol content, it's mostly the water.
It's the ideal drink on a hot summer day during lunch or at a sports game event.
You get a buzz and stay hydrated, they're meant for drinking outdoors.
And that probably makes perfect sense if you live somewhere like Texas, but I don't.
Dehydrating isn't actually the biggest of my concerns on an English summer day, believe it or not.
But I appreciate that there is a reason that the Americans would choose to become feminine.
Michael says, a man pretending to be a girl is the perfect spokesman for water pretending to be beer.
Michael not an American there.
Joan of Arc says, uh, I still hold that Mulvaney is simply reflecting back at women, what women themselves have glorified for almost 40 years in terms of movies, celebrities, music, you name it, that women have voluntarily consumed.
He's reflecting that image of womanhood back to us, and that is why so many women are angry and complaining about womanface.
They created the ideal, he's a manifestation of it, and anyone with three brain cells can see that this is a ridiculous, short-sighted, shallow, petty excuse for a human being.
Yeah, I think that's actually fair, because if It's not inauthentic when a woman is trying to maintain these kind of ideals of womanhood, but when Dylan Mulvaney does it, it just, it looks like a caricature.
Yeah.
It's just, I'm mocking you.
Yeah, it doesn't look like any, I've never seen a woman actually act like that.
No, it's because they don't.
Yeah.
Because, far be it from me to speak in defense of women, but...
In this case, I do think they're being given short shrift by Dylan.
Karen says, Carl, you were correct the first time.
Dylan is a he, and judging by his own admissions, only part of his physique that was surgically enhanced was his face.
I find it rather offensive when people call him she's or she's he's.
Yeah, I know, but YouTube literally are threatening to de-platform Matt Walsh, who doesn't misgender people correctly.
We're just being thrashed by the slave owners at this point.
It is the goal of this kind of cultural Marxism to enforce usage of pronouns not in line with one's biological sex, the application of which serves to sneak in official recognition of trans women as women and trans men as men by law on the basis of self-perception.
Yes, you are completely right.
You are completely right.
Anyway, someone online says male rapist in a wig, white.
Oh yeah, this is the collapse of Scotland's woke government.
Lord Nerevar says, I said this yesterday, but if you think the Tories have squandered a golden opportunity with their 2019 majority, they've got nothing on the SNP.
Less than 10 years to go from near total victory to near total collapse.
Wild.
Although we've still got to see 2026.
Maybe they could, maybe they could pull it back if any of them are still out of jail.
He does have a great point though because the SNP just wiped out Labour in Scotland, didn't they?
Yeah.
You know, like the map is just almost all yellow with a couple of blue holdouts.
Yeah.
So that is a tremendous victory.
Yeah, and for as much as, you know, I think Rishi's done a great job in actually sort of bringing the SNP to the brink of collapse with his challenging of the Gender Reform Bill.
Being normal.
Yeah, yeah.
Just being normal.
It's Labour that are going to benefit from it because, you know, Scotland was traditionally, you know, everybody voted Labour.
And then Labour were pretty much wiped out by the SNP.
In fact, the Tories have got way more seats than Labour in Scotland.
AZ Deserat says, if Scotland is leaving the UK and joining the EU, are they really becoming independent?
Exactly.
And Scotland does, like, 66% of its trade with the rest of the UK, so it'd be, you know, economically disastrous for Scotland to leave.
Where do you stand on the independence question?
Absolutely.
Even if I thought there were, like, competent, well-meaning people doing it, it would be an absolute disaster for Scotland.
I just think it's so idiotic.
I don't see myself... I mean, I thought... I didn't really agree with Brexit either.
I voted Remain, so, you know, I see myself... Left-wing position?
I see myself.
No, that was the Tory.
That was a Conservative position.
I'm all for free trade and stuff.
I thought there was some issues with, obviously, but, you know, I'm all for free trade and free markets.
I was on the Little Englander position.
Brexit, no foreigners, simple as.
Yeah.
No, I think Western liberal democracy has to sort of stick together as much as possible.
I'm pro-Scottish independence.
Really?
Yeah, I'm sick of paying for it.
Genuinely sick of paying for it.
Yeah, they'd probably, honestly, they'd probably work it out.
And you really want Scottish refugees coming over the border.
We can dig a Hadrian's Wall!
There isn't even a channel.
We can dig a channel!
Scottish people will get on.
These are engineering feats within our grasp.
We'll finish those ferries.
We'll come to England.
Scottish boat people.
Also, I've been to Hadrian's Wall.
It's about that high.
It's because it hasn't been rebuilt in 2,000 years.
Yeah, well no.
You'd probably need Scotland.
We'll build a big beautiful wall and make Scotland pay for it.
You'd need Scottish contractors to build it.
You know what I mean?
Also, trying to get Scotland to pay for something, man.
Imagine that.
Yeah, good luck with that.
And then Kevin Fox says, if Mammy Nicola had spent more time looking after Scotland and less time looking for places to bury the 7.6 million quid Scotland wouldn't be in the state it's in now.
Good point.
I just can't get over how genuinely corrupt the SNP is, though.
It's actually shocking.
Because, I mean, like, the other day I remember seeing, they were complaining that Boris Johnson had taken, like, 20 grand to redo Number 10 Downing Street's interior decoration.
Yeah, for some curtains or something.
Yeah, and it's just like, You know, in America it's millions and millions of dollars.
Yeah.
In Scotland it's hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Yeah.
But it's at least, like, proper corruption.
Yeah.
Like, really, the best you've got Boris on is redecorating Number 10.
Yeah.
From a Tory donor.
Yeah.
So he went to... somebody brought a cake into the office when he was working and he bought some curtains.
It's like, wow, oh my god, this guy's the Ceaușescu's.
You know?
I mean, that's actually a tolerable level of corruption, actually.
You know, if that's the corruption that... And I don't even believe that's the corruption.
There must be something worse going on in Westminster.
Well, I guess there's the Covid.
All the Covid stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Cronies deals.
But again, you know, that's probably the worst.
Michelle Moan.
But technically that was all legal.
I'm not sure, there's the Randox guy as well who's lobbying for Randox.
I'll have to look into it.
So yeah, there's some dodgy stuff going on there and we're talking billions.
Anyway, Charlie says, regarding GB News, I think it's hilarious the BBC don't cover the Unionist 12th July parades.
Bonfires in Belfast considering the Irish state broadcaster always cover it.
It's mental.
It's just mental.
Anyway, Becca Hero also says, as a Yank, I always watch the GB News Headliners show.
I read the headlines and they make jokes about it.
Brilliant.
Oh, nice one.
Cheers.
Yeah.
