Time Text
Good afternoon, welcome to the podcast of Lotus Seaters, This is episode 702 on today, the 21st of July, 2023.
I'm your host, Harry, joined today by Carl.
Hello.
And our special guest, Andrew Lawrence.
Hello, Andrew.
And today we're going to be talking about, please just stop, just stop oil.
We're also going to be talking about how things are going to get much worse and worse because we're going to have diversity judges now.
Excellent idea.
It's not just that.
Well, there's more to it, but that's a big one in my mind.
Imagine getting operated on by a diversity higher surgeon.
No.
Yeah.
No.
Sorry.
That's the sleep I don't imagine waking up from.
Yeah, well, you and many other people.
Yeah.
And then we're also going to talk about how the woke coalition just keeps fracturing and the flailing to try and keep it together is quite pathetic.
And before we get into that, is there anything you'd like to say, Andrew, being a special guest?
Nothing is shipping at this point, but yeah, sounds like plenty to talk about.
Got anything to promote?
I've got, yeah, I'm in Swindon tonight.
There you go.
Yeah, might as well give that a mention.
Yeah, the 21st of July, Friday tonight, 7.30pm start.
And you guys coming along, are you?
Is that right?
I actually can't.
I actually can't because me and my wife can't find a babysitter.
But this is weird because normally for the past three years when you've done shows in Swindon, me and my wife have gone, but it was before I knew you.
So you didn't know who I was or just sat in the audience or whatever.
So after you've been cancelled, you're doing your show.
So yeah, it's kind of weird that I actually can't go to a Swindon show.
That's a shame.
Sadly, I can't.
I'm really sorry.
I think some people from the office are.
I'm driving back up north is the thing, so I can't make it.
But anyway, before it gets any more awkward... It sounds like, if you want to come, there'll be a few...
Anyway, let's move on, shall we?
Let's get started.
In Andrew's defense, the shows are really good.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to be more if you should go just because we're fans, you know.
It's just because, honestly, we can't get babysits.
No, I'll get it.
It's fine.
I'll know where I stand.
I should never have brought it up in the first place.
Yeah, you shouldn't.
Thanks, Harry.
Anyway, let's move on, shall we?
Let's get started.
So, can Just Stop Oil, please stop?
Anybody, please stop? - Yep.
Their pensions allow them to do what they're doing.
Their pensions and their parents' money.
Yeah.
So just stop oil, like all of the other activist climate groups that we have in England, make themselves a constant nuisance, especially when it's summer, because it's nice and sunny outside.
Well, it's not been sunny for the past week, but it's nice and sunny outside.
I know where you were going with that.
I'm not going to get into it.
We all know where we're going with that because climate change has made it so that summer in England is no longer sunny, no longer warm.
But they've been going on all week.
Like the BBC Weather Service is like, ah, this is the hottest temperature in world history.
And it's like, It was like 15 degrees outside and it's raining.
Yeah and they've changed all the maps, all the weather maps, even if it's a pretty cool temperature.
It's a scorching red colour on the map.
Now it's the same colour as a nuclear inferno.
It's brilliant.
It still doesn't make it feel any warmer when I actually step outside though.
No.
I was covering some of this with Josh yesterday for some of the stuff we were doing and he told me that by the end of our discussion I would be dead.
Because of climate change.
So I'm actually dead right now, just to make it clear for everybody.
But everybody knows that Just Stop Oil constantly gets terribly, terribly bad press.
And one of the things that they have terribly bad press on is the fact that everybody hates them.
Even liberal loveys from London absolutely despise Just Stop Oil.
Even cyclists.
Who aren't really inconvenienced by them at all because you can just ride around them.
No, even cyclists absolutely despise Just Stop Oil.
So just for a quick catch up on what they've been up to, this was a situation where a cyclist rode up to a bunch of Just Stop Oil activists back earlier on this year in London and said, I'm a liberal London and I hate you, which is a nice recognition from this person that everybody hates him.
Yeah, I was going to say, you may as well go up to them and be like, look, I'm part of the problem and I still hate you.
Okay.
Yeah.
How much cycling does he do?
He looks like he's got all the gear.
He's one of those people with all the paraphernalia, but he looks like it doesn't come out of the garage more than once a year.
But now he's got it on and he's, uh, he's out on his bike.
I thought, do you know what?
I'll have a little stop and a chat with these people.
I was trying to blow off steam on a cycle, but now I'll take some of my frustration out on the, on these guys.
They seem to have a lot of time on their hands with their high-vis jackets.
He looks like he's got a lot of frustration pent up as well, doesn't he?
That's the life of a cyclist, surely.
At this point, the only cyclist I would imagine who would support Just Stop Oil is Jeremy Vine, and he is the worst cyclist in all of London.
But just for a reminder of what they've been up to, three Just Stop Oil members earlier this year threw orange-powdered paint over a sustainable garden at the Chelsea Flower Show, and the crowd screamed and labelled them morons.
Apparently it's a sustainable garden.
So why they're attacking the projects that support them, I've no idea.
But there'll be more of that as we go on.
One woman was branded a hero when she took it upon herself to hose down the trio, who were later arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
Then later on, rugby fans attended a Gallagher Premiership final between Sailsharks and the Saracens, took a similar approach when two Just Stop World members invaded the pitch, turned on the protesters and showered them with beer, while the Sail and England flanker Tom Curry went so far as to grab the jeans of one protester.
If I scroll, there might be a picture.
There was an excellent picture I saw.
Yeah, you don't want to go and try and tackle a bunch of rugby players in my experience.
They're quite built lads.
I mean, just of all of the people on earth to go and tackle, a rugby player is not one of them.
No, there was a wonderful image that I saw of one of these people being literally carried by his britches off the pitch, but it doesn't appear to be in this article.
And then there's a lot of stuff that they've been going on with more recently, which I'll cover in a moment.
First, though, I'd like to draw everybody's attention to the website where, as always, we have wonderful work that we do, including videos.
This Epoch, a very recent Epoch from the other day, 16th of July, where Bo was talking about Black Wednesday with Dan.
Now you often appear on Epochs.
I do.
So how would you describe Epochs and how Bo is approaching his atmosphere of the show?
Well it's really good and I mean it's a history show so and because we have the new studio now there's no particular time limit so we've been talking for like two or three hours at a time about historical events.
I actually don't know anything about Black Wednesday so and in fact isn't this when George Soros shorted the pound Ruined our economy and made millions of pounds.
I think this is.
I believe so.
Somehow he's still not banned from this country, but anyway.
Doing so would be anti-Semitic.
That's what I'm told by people on Twitter.
Here's some of the stuff that's been going on recently.
I'll be coming back to this article because it's got some more specific information.
But essentially, the other day, on Wednesday, the group Just Stop Oil, they went out and targeted five locations in the capital, resulting in pedestrians pushing them into the road and Sky Sports.
Chris Kamara, oh no, not Chris Kamara.
I don't know who he is.
He got delayed.
Let me see.
I think his tweet is in here somewhere about how he was delayed.
You'll recognize the picture of him.
I've completely forgotten.
I'm enjoying the pictures of people kicking Just Stop Oil.
There'll be more of those.
There he is.
Do you not?
No.
I don't even watch Sky Sports or anything and I know who this is.
There's like compilations of him flubbing his lines on screen constantly.
What was he delayed for?
What was his...
Oh, because Just Stop Oil got in the way.
Presumably they were being beaten right in front of him.
And even if they...
And he stopped to watch.
Yeah, even if they were out of the way, he stopped to have a little gander.
Here's a nice image that Daily Mail have mocked up showing all of the places in London.
Now, if you ask me, if you live in London... Get what you deserve.
Yes.
And you should begin to expect this at this point.
But still, it must be very frustrating.
So, it began with them targeting the Department for Energy Security for net zero with They constantly go for all of these places which are ostensibly on their side.
They don't go to some sort of North Sea oil processing plant or something, do they?
Well, I believe the reason was that the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero had just given out 100 licenses for new gas and oil projects.
So they were doing things that might actually be useful for the energy security of this country.
Can't have that.
Therefore, no, we can't be having that.
And so far the Metropolitan Police have been called to other events in the capital at Marliburn Road, Parliament Square, Westminster Bridge, Victoria Street and on Vauxhall Bridge Road.
All cases, police issued section 12 notices to demonstrators.
So they've actually been arresting them before Before this can happen to them.
I hate to keep bringing that up, but it is... I don't feel much sympathy for these people.
No, not at all.
You should bring this on yourself.
Not at all.
Yes, they absolutely do.
One of the funnier incidents that happened when this whole thing was going on, because like I say, this happens every few weeks now.
In fact, I believe in London, it's a constant stream of just stop oil and other environmental protests.
I will say, at least it's not as bad as back in 2021.
in the summer when Extinction Rebellion were still the big ones.
These organizations seem to have swapped themselves out year on year.
It's going to be the same people.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
It will.
But it was Extinction Rebellion, then it was interlate Britain, and now the big one is Just Stop Oil.
And I think Just Stop Oil have got the formula right, because they get a lot of media press attention from it, and they also have a diabolically stupid name.
So it keeps them in the press.
It does feel like people are getting braver about tackling them as well.
It feels like the violence is escalating a little bit.
Potentially, possibly their aim, I mean.
Which we don't endorse, just no.
We say it's endorsed, but it is funny.
We're not saying run them down wherever you see them.
If the police aren't going to do their job, it's, you know, someone has to, I suppose.
But it does feel like more and more they're encountering violence and you think, well, where does this, this is going to keep escalating.
And if the police don't get a grip on this situation or find some way to To take charge, then it's going to escalate to a point where some regrettable things start happening.
I think at the moment it's still quite amusing and funny.
I always like seeing middle class people getting kicked a bit.
But the thing is, the police tend to arrest the people who are kicking them, rather than dragging these people off the road, don't they?
Yeah, it's difficult.
They seem to veer from one side to the other.
There seems to be occasion where they make a spectacle of arresting or seem to be quite disciplinary towards the Just Stop World protesters and then on other occasions they seem to be dragging the motorists off them and irate people trying to get to work and to hospital appointments but there doesn't seem to be any clear strategy I would say.
Well, it all appears very performative, as far as I'm concerned.
The police and these protesters are all on the side of the same people, or at least the police are working for the people, who want all of the exact same things as Just Stop Oil.
Just Stop Oil, to me, seems to be... I wouldn't be surprised if you looked into it, and this is just speculation on my part.
found a lot of funding from dodgy sources, from the sorts of people who are probably also funding government parties, you could say.
So they're all working towards the same thing to generate some kind of manufactured consent so that they can go, see, we're just doing what the people want, the people as represented by a bunch of time-wasting OAPs.
Because that's the thing, when they start to tackle these people, you've got to be very careful when you tackle a Just Stop Oil protester.
No.
Not that I condone it as well, I do condemn it.
Because otherwise, if you don't go for the one young person in the crowd, it is tantamount to elder abuse.
To be honest with you, I think you're making a good point there.
Is it possible that this is just a kind of case of boomer Facebook radicalization?
Is this the QAnon of the left?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The QAnon of the left, where they've just spent all their times in the particular Facebook groups that are like, by the way, your grandchildren are about to explode.
Don't you think you should do something about it?
And they're like, good point.
I better go sit in the road and piss people off.
Possibly.
Possibly.
They are quite old, aren't they?
If you look at them.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if we can zoom in.
We probably can't zoom in, but you can see old person, old person, old person, old person, old person.
Get off Facebook, Grandpa.
Oh, wait, there we go.
Thank you, John.
Yeah, they're all old.
I don't know if that's their grandchildren that that person is tackling right there.
But otherwise you are liable to break someone's hip if you do this to anyone, if you're not picking your targets.
So is this partly a disease of retirement then?
Is it people wanting some sort of purpose now that they don't have a job to go to anymore?
They want to give their lives some meaning and this is it.
It's all very self-sabotaging and on no occasion more than when they're allowed to open their mouths and talk about what they believe.
It's one thing ruining everyone's day in the middle of the road.
It's another thing when they start talking, you think, all right, you really don't have any idea what you're talking about.
John's just having some fun scrolling through here.
I just want to highlight this image.
This is the moment that this gentleman knew he'd made a mistake.
The second you get a proper Brexit geezer stepping your way.
Oh, he looks like he's had a bad day already and he looks like he's waiting to take out on someone.
That's a white van man who's been held up for far too long.
But speaking of some of the funny things that happened, one of the best things that happened was that a bunch of people just decided to wear, show up wearing their own custom made, just stop pissing people off shirts and surround them before they could get to the road.
Genius.
It is quite genius.
I love that there is a counter-activist movement though, against Just Stop Oil.
So we're just sick of you sitting in the road.
They're a lot younger as well.
But we're going to go to the effort of actually printing up t-shirts and organising to stop you from pissing everyone off.
It's a heady mix of students and old people there, isn't it?
It's a heady mix of people with a lot of time on their hands.
I don't know if you'll be able to hear it, but if I just... I also do it out of desperation, because this government does not have our best interests at heart.
Quite the opposite.
It is determined to go through with over 100 new fossil fuel licences.
and that's our future that's everyone's future yours as well as ours and the people have children too and you know it's it's not just my generation it's every single people i think that's more than enough of that so you can hear the white woman talking just very very posh when you find yourself I don't want to hear it.
If you find yourself in a situation where you're having to negotiate with the counter-activist groups, please, please let us sit on the road.
I mean, look at the ethnic homogeneity of the Just Stop Oil protesters.
It's just remarkable.
It's middle-class retired English people.
Meanwhile, they've got a job.
Meanwhile, they've got hands across America.
The diversity is just like, no thanks.
This is the one thing that can bring all of the races together.
Hating climate activists.
And once again it is important that people actually try and stop these people doing these things because as much as once again I think it's all performative I think it's essentially I think it's a psyop so the government can point to something and say the people want this.
I think these people are genuinely delusional.
Oh no, I think they are as well.
I think the people are roped into it because they're genuinely delusional, but the people organizing it in the first place... Well yeah, they're commies.
Yeah, are all a bunch of communist grifters.
But these people do try and block bridges, they try and block major infrastructure across London, which can end up hurting people.
What I was mentioning earlier was in 2021 they had the Extinction Rebellion protests across all of London throughout August, which was essentially just a gigantic party.
The Extinction Rebellion is like, oh no, we're going to go extinct in the future.
It's like, have you looked at the birth rates?
I mean, yes.
You can't possibly talk about that.
There's so many worse things.
Extinction Rebellion coming out in favor of Great Replacement Theory.
Perhaps maybe that's what it was all about this whole time.
Well to me it just feels like they've taken the maxim that all publicity is good publicity too far and they've really bought into that because the publicity they get is always self-defeating and surely there must be so many people who are quite committed to environmental causes that see this going on and it really puts them off and they want to distance themselves from the whole thing.
It seems incredibly self-defeating.
And then you do get into the territory of thinking, well, this is so self-sabotaging and self-defeating.
Could that possibly be their intention?
The left, ever since all of these protest movements started happening and how disruptive they were, you had Once again, Extinction Rebellion jamming up the entirety of London for a few weeks.
You had Insulate Britain not just blockading bridges and places in London, but you had them blockading the M25 and other parts of the motorways across England.
Now you've got them doing this and they've been doing this for months and months and months on end since the beginning of the year.
Some people on the left do believe that it is a PSYOP to prevent people from supporting Yeah, I mean it's making me vaguely pro-oil, to be honest.
the government to create consent for the anti-protest bills that they've been putting forward in passing.
The ones that make it illegal for anybody to protest if the government says that you can't.
There might be some truth to that, but I think there's some truth to what Carl is saying as well, which is that these are just a bunch of bored, old people who've been radicalized from spending too much time on Facebook.
Yeah, I mean, it's making me vaguely pro-oil, to be honest.
I've never really thought about it.
I, too, support Italians.
Very oily people.
Casual anti-Italian racism for some reason.
Why not?
Just throw some out there.
We're British.
It's what we're here for.
And then they started targeting government buildings as well.
So they committed criminal damage.
OK, now they're getting me back on side.
Well, yeah, that's the problem, isn't it?
Grant Shapps, some government person, says that what they need to do is they need to be charged with criminal damage for spray painting some government buildings.
Once again, they spray painted the Energy Building, Net Zero Building.
Keir Starmer has been told that he has to pay for damage.
Why is it his fault?
Just Stop Oil protests. - Why is it his fault? - Well, Grant Shapps wrote to Keir Starmer demanding that he pays for the damage done to the building for Department for Energy Security.
Oh.
He noted that the Labor Party has accepted 1.5 million in donations from one of Just Stop Oil's biggest donors, Bail Vince.
So that's where the connection comes there.
And I think it's interesting briefly to just make a note of this, which is that, once again, these organizations, they're not able to just pop up out of nowhere.
They have to have benefactors to them.
They have to have money behind them.
Sometimes that can be the money of the people who are at the forefront of the movement.
Sometimes it can be from people who have different motivations and different things going on.
For instance, this guy is that Dale Vince person.
He says, I do want to influence policy, but not by buying access, which is why I throw millions of dollars at the party.
I mean everyone else does it, why wouldn't you?
And obviously that's what you're doing.
If you're donating millions of pounds to the party in the hopes of influencing policy but these two things aren't connected to one another at all, you're lying as far as I'm concerned.
He said, speaking before the Prime Minister's comments, Vince, the founder of Ecotricity, told the Guardian that the abuse, mudslinging and massive fabrications he had faced Would not stop him bankrolling causes close to his heart.
I give money to Extinction Rebellion as well and to Animal Rising, the people that disrupted the Grand National.
I've also given money to Greenpeace, to Sea Shepherd, to a women's refuge in Stroud.
I fund food banks.
I give jobs to homeless people.
I'll also give money to the Green Party, the Lib Dems, everyone that's trying to do some good in the world.
It always comes back to the money.
Last week, Vince brushed off Tory attacks by announcing that he would match any money given to Just Stop Oil for 48 hours.
That stunt raised Just Stop Oil £340,000.
So they can go out and disrupt necessary infrastructure in the middle of London.
Thank you very much for that one, Dale Vince.
Very cool.
And along with people like him, you also have people like the Climate Emergency Fund in Los Angeles.
A foreign money coming in from America to fund insufferable activists.
Yes.
Very interesting how that all works out there.
Started with a £500,000 donation from Eileen Getty, the granddaughter of Jean-Paul Getty, the founder of the Getty Oil Company.
Ms.
Getty's family ties to oil have caused some controversy, but she's never been involved with the industry herself.
So once again, all of these money ties are the sorts of things that cause the left to say this is Oil, psyops, so that they can get more people on side for the projects that they're doing in the government, or also so that they can get people on side for the passing of these protest bills.
I don't know if there's much truth to that exactly, that's speculation on my part, but it is interesting to see where the money is coming from.
And they, along with the government buildings, they did some more government buildings, they did the think tanks!
Good!
Not the think tanks!
Sorry, I'm supposed to say bad to that.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
They painted Policy Exchange, the Think Tank HQ.
If you remember Policy Exchange, when we had Calvin on, they were the people who put forward that report about how people should just take Afghan refugees into their homes.
Yeah.
The hotels can't fund them anymore.
So, sorry, Policy Exchange.
I'm not going to be shedding any tears over you guys.
And we have this hilarious response from Sebastian Payne.
This is both dumb and disgraceful.
Policy Exchange is an important part of the Westminster Think Tank scene.
Like it's some art scene.
I love the Westminster Think Tank scene.
This is the Andy Warhol of the Westminster Think Tank scene, I can only assume.
Very artistic.
Cunley Drucker, of course, saying do the Adam Smith Institute next.
I do not support this, I do not condone this, but it would be funny.
And then there's some more stuff, like all of the footage coming from people who, once again, just get very frustrated.
and decide to take the law into their own hands.
This is a particularly brutal one.
Here we can see if you're not watching, if you're listening, there is a man who's got out of a car.
He's just been in a fender bender.
As the Just Stop Oil protesters go in, we can assume that the Just Stop Oil protesters being in the center of the road, Carl is laughing at a man getting his head quite literally kicked in.
I mean, it doesn't look that bad.
Well, yeah.
He's got pushed over a bit.
Well, he got pushed over and then kicked in the head.
I won't condone it, but yes, it doesn't look that bad.
So you can see he's been in a bit of a car accident, so I can assume that them being walking in the middle of the road had something to do with it.
Yeah.
Causing this man great anger.
Yeah, well, it's been around a lot, that clip, hasn't it?
And that's the worry, is that that reaction becomes normalised.
You know, it's pretty borderline.
He's had a fair old go at him.
I think if people start reacting like that or taking things further than that, it's a worry.
But there again, you know, maybe... Andy's trying to be all magnanimous here.
Oh, it's a worry if people start getting beaten in the street, Karl.
There's a little bit of both.
He's gone in quite hard, but also the other guy's throwing himself down like a Premier League footballer.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's still... He immediately enters fetal position as well.
It's still too much, you know, and yeah, to be honest, I can't, you can't really get on board with either side.
He seems like a genuine nasty piece of work.
Yeah, he seems like a nutcase.
Don't punch the protesters.
Don't punch the protesters, just shout at them.
Stop as you're cycling by and tell them to get off the road.
Dragging them out of the road is one thing, isn't it?
Drag them out of the road, you know.
Lamping them is another.
Yeah.
Yes, and the person who it happened to, he gave some testimony for the Just Stop Oil Twitter account, where he speaks in a very posh accent.
Of course he does, yeah, of course.
And I mean, I feel sad because, well, I can say, personally, I don't- I haven't- I don't know where- That's not even an English accent.
Yeah, that sounds like a strange accent.
I don't know where he gets that accent from.
To be fair to the kid, I'll be fair to the kid, right?
He says he holds no hard feelings against that person who lamped him.
Good.
Because he can understand how frustrating it must have been.
Especially because he was in a car crash.
It is some sort of EU flag.
They often come across the same way when they're being interviewed.
They all seem like they've had the privilege of a very good education that's had absolutely no impact on them whatsoever.
That they've been able to take absolutely nothing away from.
I just love that he's like, yeah, well, we are really annoying.
I probably did have it coming.
I can hardly blame the guy.
You should have given the extra one.
Really, that's your position on it, is it mate?
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah, and unsurprisingly, just from what you mentioned, if we go back to this article that we were at earlier, he was called Daniel Knorr, 21, Oxford student.
There we go.
As you would expect.
Previously gained notoriety after being carried off the pitch at Lourdes by England cricketeer Johnny Bairstow.
Actually, this was the image that I was thinking of.
I think it's on here.
Yes, here he is being carried off the cricket pitch by a cricket player, thinking that he has succeeded in doing Something.
Something.
He's a biochemistry student who was arrested in April as well for trying to scale and cover Dippy the Diplodocus with orange powder at a Coventry gallery, said he bore no ill will towards his attacker.
How generous, and how kind.
I just think it's amazing how he can understand just how insufferable he is.
Well, I mean, he still does it.
This probably is not the first time he's been punched square in the face, I hate to say.
So you probably get used to it after a while and start to sympathize with the people doing it.
Okay, yeah.
But yeah, there we go.
That's what Just Stop All have been up to recently.
Just as insufferable as ever and bringing just as much bad press on themselves as ever.
Amazing.
Can I take this?
Yeah, you can take that as well.
Does this work?
Good.
Yes, it does.
Right, so, something a bit less funny that I thought we'd cover is that things are about to get just really worse, actually, and you're going to find yourself in situations where you think, well, hang on, how did this happen?
Don't we have systems in place that prevent people who aren't necessarily the best and brightest from Flying a plane or operating on me after I've been injured or something like that, defending the country, maybe.
And the answer is no, no, because we have diversity.
Uh, and therefore the standards have to come down.
Uh, but before we begin, go and watch our latest symposium on the linguistic subversion of wokeness.
Uh, because of course it is as.
It says on the thumbnail there a sort of conceptual psyop, which is why we need to now start suddenly lowering all the standards.
So let's begin with California, because why wouldn't we begin with California, right?
So California State Education Board voted to adopt a new and much debated maths framework on Wednesday, concluding a years-long process that is going to make mathematics learning in California much worse than before.
Why not, right?
The 1000-page framework aims to put meaning-making at the center of the maths classroom, promoting a focus on problem-solving and applying maths knowledge to real-world situations.
It also encourages teachers to make maths culturally relevant and accessible to all students, especially students of color that have been traditionally marginalized on the subject.
You feeling good about this?
It's always the way what starts off in the U.S.
comes here, and of course there are There are many worries for anyone who's got kids at school.
Oh yeah.
It begins in California and it ends up here.
That's exactly right.
Yeah.
It's a UK pipeline.
Yeah.
You know, and it's, uh, if you're a parent looking to send your, your, uh, children to a school somewhere, you've got enough things to be thinking about and enough, uh, enough criteria judging schools and now you have to find out whether they're gay.
What their agenda is with this kind of stuff.
Well, Linda Darling-Hammond, the president of the California State Board of Education, will tell us in fact, she'll say, the United States has not been teaching math effectively or equitably.
We are one of the lower achieving countries and California is below the national average on its achievement in mathematics.
This is an area of great need and change is imperative.
The same old, same old will not get us to a new place.
They of course are teaching social justice in the maths class.
They say, I mean literally, the maths class could be a venue to discuss social justice themes or solutions to public policy problems.
Such an orientation towards social justice has faced sharp criticism from some members of the maths community.
There is a maths community now.
In an open letter in 2021, over a thousand signatories, many of them maths and science professors and business professionals, outlined pieces of a prior draft of the framework that they said would politicize the subject in a potentially disastrous way.
While some of these aspects have been revised, the focus on social justice remains throughout the document.
Thank God.
Social justice through mathematics.
So this'll be in the source of... I am aware of his work through what James Lindsay has highlighted in the past.
This'll be the Paulo Freire method of trying to teach maths, won't it?
Quite possibly.
Okay, if a billionaire has two billion and then adds another two billion on top, how many billions has he stolen from the proletariat?
How much climate change do we have?
Yeah, it's literally that.
And so, in Massachusetts, they've decided, you know what, we could just cancel maths.
Because it's racist, actually.
Big maths support for me.
Yeah, Cambridge Public Schools have begun phasing out advanced maths courses in grades 6 through 8 around 2017, in fact, when district officials noticed sharp racial disparities in the program.
Is that maths' fault, though?
Could it be?
I mean, there's two factors I can think of of how teaching goes.
One is the student and one is the teacher.
So maybe one of those is failing and not the concepts of maths all together.
Well, students who are being placed in the advanced maths track were overwhelmingly white and Asian, if you can believe that.
I can.
And the lower level courses were filled primarily with black and Latino students.
I can also believe that.
Yeah, and so the parents are going to have to hire private maths tutors, which of course actually exacerbates inequality because only some of the parents can afford that.
So talented students who would be able to do this are now not allowed to do this because of economic inequality.
I mean, that's what this always comes down to, isn't it?
It just takes those people who would be the cream of the crop and shoves them down back into the mire with everyone else.
Yeah, but that's racial equality for you.
We can only do these things when, you know, when things are going well economically and socially, these things can creep in.
But children spend so little time at school anyway, increasingly less time, you know, I think a lot of kids and most kids in the UK have less than half a year and the rest of the time they're on holiday.
The amount of time that they have in school, if you take the focus away from maths and reading and writing for those younger children, it's so wrong and so evil, really, and especially when you're using it to push this political agenda.
But it's beyond schools.
It's the same with businesses.
If you're using your resources, taking on diversity officers and Equality managers, that's, you know, it's fine if your business is doing incredibly well and you've got money to throw around, but it's an exercise in inefficiency.
Well, I think you're actually right, completely right, that in this particular case, I mean, what this is doing is literally retarding the education of children in order to achieve a political goal, which is evil.
You're absolutely right.
This is decadent behaviour.
Yeah, but let's carry on because For the sake of equality, to become a teacher, you've got to pass an exam.
And if you fail to pass the exam, then most people would have said, well, that's a you problem, right?
The exam is the same for everyone.
But it turns out in New York State, actually, it turns out it was racism that did it.
And so a bunch of 5,200 black and Hispanic teachers or aspiring teachers who kept failing the teaching exam, I wonder how it was racist.
Was there a spelling test where it asked you to spell a particular word?
in payouts.
There's one guy here getting two million because he failed an exam.
And that's racist.
I wonder how it was racist.
Was there a spelling test where it asked you to spell a particular word?
Is that what was going on here?
And of course, it's not this guy that's negotiated that.
Well, you know, the whole.
There are organisations of people taking a big cut of that $1.8 billion.
That's exactly right.
In fact, let's watch a video of the guy, because the guy clearly is not a fit to be a teacher, but obviously not in charge of what's happening here either.
It was nice.
The lady, the lawyer said it was very nice, and they knew I wasn't taking them serious.
Because I just wasn't taking them serious.
You know, why would you send me letters and tell me about...
I know lawsuits either go through or they won't go through.
You know from reading, hearing, news and all that stuff.
And I know a couple of people that were not in education but they went through lawsuits and they didn't win or anything like that.
So that's him talking about the lawsuit?
They were saying things I didn't believe.
It's a bit difficult to decipher.
Not the world's greatest communicator, right?
So I can see why he keeps failing this exam.
I don't think it's racism that made him fail the exam.
So anyway, these are the teachers of the future who are going to be teaching your children how to do mathematics.
And it gets worse as you go higher up the chain, of course.
Peter Boghossian found this amazing, amazing article in the University of Chicago.
Just listen to the abstract in this, right?
In this article, I take on the question of how the exclusion of black American women from physics impacts physics epistemologies and I highlight the dynamic relationship between this exclusion and the struggle for women to reconcile black women with physicists.
I describe the phenomenon where white epistemic claims about science, which are not rooted in empirical evidence, receive more credence and attention than black women's epistemic claims about their own lives.
To develop this idea, I apply an intersectional analysis, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's like, right.
What are you talking about?
How does this, what does black women's epistemic claims about their own lives have to do with physics?
The answer is, of course, nothing.
It's got everything to do with social justice.
Anyway, that was America.
Let's come back to Britain.
How do you fancy being judged by a diversity hire judge?
You've been falsely accused of a crime.
You're white.
Do I have time to say farewell to my family?
Great question.
But the Conservative government have decided that thousands more can apply to become judges under plans to expand diversity.
New rules will see up to 4,500 more lawyers from diverse backgrounds, specifically racially targeted here, eligible to become judges under new plans announced by the government.
How are they going to do that?
Are they going to abolish the need to be qualified?
I know, right?
Normally, you have to have some sort of legal qualification and something like seven years experience as someone in the court in order to become a judge.
And they've just decided that the Chartered Legal, the Institute of Legal Executive Lawyers, just are not required to hold a university degree now and can gain their qualifications while working.
It's extraordinary.
They can peddle this stuff without any kind of recourse to rationality.
Well, this doesn't make sense at all, but of course this is what we're doing.
This is entirely beyond all reason, but that doesn't matter.
This is the right thing to do.
This is the Conservative government telling us to.
It's so clear to anyone, you know, aware that this is going and reading about it, this is a recipe for disaster.
Yeah.
Oh, but don't say that because that's not very virtuous of you.
Well, okay.
I know people who've studied law at university.
I know two people and they both were there in university for years and years and years and I saw the amount of paperwork that some of them had to do.
It's ridiculous.
The books that you have to read, the level of case law that you have to go through, the fact that you have to go through all of this different bits of legislation.
Did you know in the UK... Just learn on the job, mate.
Oh yeah, I'll do it on the job.
Yeah, I'll do it on the night.
But in the UK alone we have, I think it is 20,000 pages worth of tax law.
Alone.
And that makes perfect sense to me given how the state of our taxes.
But it's the fact that there is not enough time in most people's lifetimes to be able to read through and understand and comprehend all of that.
And now these people are just going to get it because They're darker than us.
Yeah, that's literally, I mean, have you considered that, quote, the move will increase the number of judicial roles that legal professionals from underrepresented groups can apply for, better reflecting modern multicultural 21st century Britain, Harry?
Well, I mean, it will, broken, falling apart, nobody understands what the hell is going on constantly, white people are at the bottom of the food chain, then yeah, that makes perfect sense, it will reflect that.
Thank you.
The legal system can stop functioning just like the rest of the country has stopped functioning, Harry.
Brilliant!
And it already wasn't functioning that I can tell, but... Do you want to know what Justice Minister Mike Freer said?
Ooh, enlighten me.
Again, I mean, he's a Conservative, right?
So he says...
I know, right?
He says, quote, we are striving to build a legal system that truly reflects the range of voices in our society.
This change shows how important the broader legal profession is to our goal of breaking down barriers, average conservative, and boosting eligibility as we recruit more diverse judges.
What are we doing?
You could just smell the fear about these people.
You can feel them They're bumhole twitching while they're writing or saying this stuff.
I just want to keep my job.
I just want to keep my job.
And did you say the right things?
Did you see that post that's going around on Twitter recently of the leftists saying that I've read through all of this right-wing work and I've just got on to Edmund Burke and it turns out that all conservatism and right-wing thought is just trying to preserve hierarchy.
Well no it isn't actually.
In England, conservatism is just trying to do the left better.
Yes, that is.
My thing's about to run out of battery, so I'm going to have to use the... Oh no, you're going to have to adapt.
I know, this is awful, right?
Anyway, so in the UK previously... I should have clicked on something I shouldn't have clicked on.
Oh no, his battery's run out and everything's going wrong.
Carl's battery has run out now!
It's not my battery, is it?
To your point about the Conservatives trying to outdo the Labour Party, it was extraordinary.
Keir Starmer came out a few days ago and said the Tories actually need to lower taxes and reduce public spending.
Wow!
Do you know what that was?
I know, it's because Tony Blair came out and said it in an interview on Peston, and Keir Starmer is just doing whatever Tony Blair will tell him to do.
And to be perfectly honest, it's better than what we've got right now.
Of course!
I can't believe I just tacitly endorsed Tony Blair.
I feel sick to my stomach.
But this is what modern Tories have done.
Anyway, so previously, before the Conservatives decided that we didn't really need law and order, you had to have five years of legal work and a relevant legal qualification as a barrister or solicitor.
So that's gone.
Don't worry about that.
Anyway, moving on.
How about medical schools?
I mean, it's one thing being falsely convicted for something because you've got a diversity judge.
It's another thing being operated on by a diversity surgeon, right?
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, they start off with the jobs that are, you know, where the skills are slightly more difficult to define.
And they come for the very highly skilled, very definite, Jobs where you really do need to know what you're doing.
Well, as the New York Post here says, how are medical schools most woke?
Affirmative action.
100% of them have admissions policies and practices for encouraging a diverse class of students.
Fully 85% have leaders who have used demographic data to promote change within their institution.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
In other words, medical schools are giving skin color and gender a consistently bigger emphasis in recruiting.
This approach risks deprioritizing merit, leading to a loaded quality of medical students.
Yes, it does.
And we actually have an example of this.
Have you ever heard of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
slash Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles?
Which operated for just over 30 years.
Yeah, it got shut down in 2007 because people called it Killer King.
That's quite clever.
This is a great thread by Richard Hanania here actually.
So he says, here's the story of MLK Junior Hospital.
The problems appeared right away.
In 1975, the LA Times reported on horror stories implying neglect and incompetence.
Employees were said to be drunk on the job or on drugs stolen from the hospital pharmacy.
In a letter from a nurse in 1977, they gave it the moniker of Killer King.
Nothing was done for decades.
It took an LA Times report in 2004 to reveal how bad things had gotten.
According to one accreditor, the hospital had problems of orders of magnitude that were substantially greater than almost all other hospitals in the country.
This hospital had spent $20 million on malpractice payouts in five years.
Between 1999 and 2004.
Adjusting for the number of patients it saw, this was the worst figure of any hospital in the entire state of California.
Patients would come in with minor medical issues and end up dead.
I don't mean to laugh, but like, what is going on, right?
Locals would run away from ambulances in order not to be brought to Killer King.
Police officers had an understanding that if their colleagues were shot, they would not allow them to be taken there.
Bloody hell.
Why was nothing ever fixed?
Well, that's the question, right?
So you won't be surprised to learn, he says, that community activists denounced those who tried to do anything about the hospital as...
Racists, obviously.
Obviously.
This literally is...
Go on, go on.
The only explanation for all of these people dying in this hospital would be just out of spite, right?
Yeah.
That's right.
I'm that racist.
I just hate this hospital.
For some reason it's because people in there are black.
Maxine Waters organized a demonstration in 2004 that included Jesse Jackson.
And politicians have cowed in silence for decades.
Finally, it was shut down in 2007 and people stopped dying so much.
So Maxine Waters, big fan of murderous hospitals?
Yeah, she's really doing a good job there.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
You feel like taking a flight?
Not with these two.
I'm sorry.
You're a racist, Harry.
What are you talking about?
Yes, I am.
I'll admit it right now.
If that's what it takes to avoid getting in a helicopter piloted by these... Yeah, last year the New York Times were like, you know what?
Piloting is stubbornly monolithic.
About 95% of airline pilots in the US today are male, and nearly as many are white.
If it works!
If it ain't broke!
But the airlines are struggling to find enough pilots and to diversify a profession that's been very resistant to change.
I would really rather this profession be really resistant to change.
Like, I'm thinking about traveling to America later this year, I don't want the planes to just drop out of the sky!
And planes have a remarkable reliability rate, for now.
Yeah, for now.
It literally is for now, right?
Airlines have started to do more diversity.
United recently launched a flight school with the aim of hiring thousands of pilots in the years ahead, at least half of them being women and people of colour.
Could they all just be good, please?
Well, that's the worry.
Airlines don't have the resources to indulge in this sort of nonsense, and inevitably the level of inefficiency it's going to lead to is going to cause accidents.
If they could instigate long term training programs to cement their diversity agenda, that's fine.
But everything's about fast tracking and, you know, ticking boxes, regardless of rationale and reason.
And, you know, in an industry like that, that's... It's just not where you want to hear it.
It's going to lead to a lot of deaths.
It's just not where you want to hear it.
I'll take the vote, thanks.
Yeah, right.
Oh, I mean, I'm sure that's going to get far more diverse as well.
But ABC did another article talking about this recently.
Well, actually, this was last year.
But anyway, they say at the height of summer travel, as airlines brace for pilot shortage, because remember, a lot of them got fired for refusing to take the vaccine.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
So there's a bunch of qualified, experienced pilots who are no longer flying.
The, uh, the, the, as I say, some airlines are making efforts to attract the next generation of pilots who have been historically excluded from the industry, women and people of color.
Okay, great.
Uh, commercial airlines are also pushing efforts towards diversity, including Delta Airlines, which launched the Delta Propel Career Path program.
The program offers an accelerated path to the flight deck for selected students across 13 universities around the US.
Thank God.
There's one thing I want is for them to cut corners and just shove them through without getting the proper experience.
Oh, that's brilliant.
Also, it's the sort of job where you'd like to think it was a vocation for people, that they've always wanted to do it since they were a kid, and it's something that they're very committed to, rather than the fact that they've seen an advert somewhere saying, oh, we're hiring people based on diversity.
Oh, there's money there.
This is an easy opportunity for me.
It's not the sort of people who want flying planes.
Yeah, yeah.
The sort of people who got headhunted because they didn't have anything better to do.
Yeah.
I don't know, at least with this I can die happy.
Surrounded by people screaming as we head further and further closer to the ground.
Just looking over me like, I told you diversity was a bad idea, didn't I?
Didn't I?
Delta's commitment to developing a diverse workforce is that it's reflective of the communities we serve domestically and around the world is unwavering.
Brilliant.
I just, I don't care about representation in pilots.
I care about taking off and landing.
All I want to hear from airlines about is, is safety and efficiency.
Are you going to leave on time and arrive on time?
And we're going to arrive in one piece.
I really don't need to hear anything else.
Public, public statements.
And if that's racist, so be it.
And if they are issuing public statements about anything else other than that, it's a cause for alarm.
Yeah, it really is, isn't it?
What about the U.S.
Air Force?
I mean, you know, you're only protecting your country.
It's only China, Russia, you know, you've got to worry about.
But as Colonel Mark Wooten of the U.S.
AF Civil Air Patrol says, we need to stop hiring middle-aged white people, especially dudes.
It's only your country.
What about dudes in dresses?
Well, actually, that's a great question.
What about dudes in dresses?
Well, we have an answer to that, because a memo was leaked to the dossier from the Department of Defense that goes into great detail on the topic of care of service members who identify as transgender.
So they're going to get taxpayer-funded care, obviously, right?
They will also receive a waiver for grooming and uniform standards, so they can go in purple hair if they want, right?
They will also receive an indefinite waiver for physical fitness standards.
The waiver often becomes a de facto permanent situation and the transgender identifying service member just has to renew the exemption request every six months.
That image says it all.
Yep.
Service members who identify as transgender will be considered non-deployable for up to 300 days while taking hormones for their transition period.
So they won't even have to go on deployments and get Again, given these hormones are required for life, this may render the transgender identifying service member as permanently unable to deploy.
God, can you feel the standards dropping?
So they're just there to fill in a place on a spreadsheet?
Don't you just feel defended?
Don't you feel secure?
Aren't you just looking forward to going to the hospital, getting on an airplane?
Are you just convinced that your children are getting the best that can be provided at school?
It's very difficult to trust any organization or business who indulges in this sort of thing because it feels like you're not getting things done.
You're not doing what you're supposed to be doing.
The whole, you know, the nature of your business or organization, you're focusing on this.
It's a virtue signaling political agenda that, you know, and it's taking you away from your purpose.
And, you know, it's very difficult.
You wouldn't want to do business or you wouldn't want to associate yourself with organizations like that because you think they're, you know, Mental?
It's just not trustworthy because they're not doing what their intended purpose is for, what they're set up for.
Yeah, but they are diverse and progressive.
They are, yeah.
I mean, you know that person's pronouns.
See, I didn't know my pilot's pronouns last time I got on a plane.
I mean, how unprogressive was that?
What army?
What enemy force of America isn't going to start shaking at the knees the second they see an entire battalion of this person?
They're not going on deployment!
The performance to take that!
Perfectly non-deployable!
Anyway, we'll leave that there.
I mean, she'd look like she'd have a hard time being deployed up a flight of stairs and top of a flight of stairs.
She'd look like she'd be retiring from action.
So anyway, things are about to start getting really, really more progressive and possibly quite dangerous.
Good luck out there, folks.
Yes, things are getting progressively worse.
Yes, there we go.
All right, let's move on to the next and last segment.
We've obviously just covered how things are going to get worse and worse and worse for society as a whole because we are suffering from the... A brain worm?
A brain worm, the incompetency crisis, the skills crisis which is being deliberately manufactured, but let's talk about something which is quite funny again.
Let's go back onto the happy news.
Oh good.
Which is that the contradictions in the woke coalition just can't last.
We've covered this a few times, but it's important to constantly reaffirm the fact that the actual groups of people that make up the woke coalition, the intersectional coalition, are a complete hodgepodge of nonsense of people who can't coexist with one another for obvious and clear reasons, but have only been put together because they can essentially form a voting bloc.
It's nice to see the ties fraying though, isn't it?
It is.
It'll be interesting to see how the regime attempts to bring everything back together, because they will, and they are trying to, which is going to be the focus of this segment.
Justin Trudeau's terrible attempts to bring the communities back together.
But as I see it, it can't last for much longer, and it won't last much longer.
The only question for me is what happens afterwards.
And on that subject, we've got a new article on the website that was released two days ago called Political Homelessness by John Tangny, where he's examining the state of Europe.
Primarily, and the fact that a lot of people are politically homeless, and the prospects for those people in the future, now that a lot of the parties are revealing themselves to be completely traitorous to them.
Because we've got it in Europe where we had the rise of the far right, we even covered it a little bit, the rise of the far right, who then come in and then do leftist politics.
The same as they always do, because you cannot trust these people.
But one of the biggest blocks of the woke coalition has always been the Muslim groups.
Always been the Muslims being brought into the country and asked to vote left, which you would think wouldn't come as natural to them as it does, primarily because a lot of them tend to have more socially conservative views, especially the way that we critique the countries that they come from.
You would expect them to not just be voting right wing, but the hardest extremes of the right wing, but they don't.
They don't.
They come in, and I just found this image on Twitter, which kind of sums it up.
Vote Labour.
Just a big group of Muslim men voting Labour because, well, Labour may not support their social... Is that Naz Shah?
It might be.
Oh yeah, I think it is.
Stay quiet for the sake of diversity, Harry.
Yes, I will.
And also, there's a token Baz, second from right, I've just noticed there.
Is he like that guy from Four Lions?
Quite possibly, yeah.
Maybe he is.
But yeah, Muslims overwhelmingly vote Labour.
It's something like 90% in the last election, wasn't it?
Well, the figures that I've got say 78% in the next link, but it's still overwhelmingly the highest percentage of them vote for Labour.
And once again, with Labour supporting the kind of eco-politics they do and the social politics they do with the LGBT stuff, you'd expect them not to be supportive.
Hi fellow Labour voters, can we talk about transgenderism?
Shall we talk about transgenderism?
They look very receptive to that, don't they?
Mashallah, brother.
Yeah, what about women's liberation?
Yeah, you wouldn't expect them to, but that's one of the things that the woke coalition does, is you get these political parties that have these gigantic contradictions, but then they just pay them off.
Don't worry, we'll make sure that you keep voting for us, because what we'll do, we won't give you everything that you want, but we will make it legal for people to criticize you.
Also, like with Jess Phillips in Birmingham, they basically just Will not do what the woke ones want.
You know, can we teach your kids, you know, woke transgenderism?
They're saying, no.
There you go.
Just fill his bags down.
The school takes it out of their curriculum.
And so the Muslim kids get to have a Muslim education and our kids get to be brainwashed.
In the middle of England.
Yeah.
This is just what everybody wants.
Just what Alfred the Great fought for.
Exactly.
And, uh, yeah, yeah.
They'll, they'll do everything.
And I think one of the other things they do is they just don't police these neighborhoods as well.
Which is how you end up with the scandals that we've ended up with over the past few years.
And just to say what I was talking about a moment ago, so as I said, the vote from the last one, from the last 2019 election, if I scroll down, most of them vote Labour.
I'll get the details here.
Our results show that 78% of Muslim voters opted for Labour in the 2019 general election.
However, this drops to 38%.
So this is where some of the phrase is starting to show.
When asked about their voting habits, should a general election occur tomorrow, Kirstein was part of your risk of losing 55% of their regular Muslim vote.
Now it's important.
In 2017, 87%.
Absolutely.
That's wild.
Ridiculous.
Now this report from the muslimcensus.co.uk, which is a website that you wouldn't expect to have to exist for the UK, but does.
Apparently there's enough of them to have a census.
It points out that there's only 4.4% of the population, but they do have a considerable impact on the political system.
Now this was from, if I scroll back up to the top of the article, I think this was from 2020, yeah 2022.
So figures will have changed since then because what they're mainly talking about here is the fact that The Labour Party has not promised to keep making more and more things Islamophobic and therefore illegal, and so the Muslims may choose... I'll vote for you then!
Yeah, well, if you're not going to make it literally illegal to say anything negative about me, then I'm not going to vote for you.
Now, this could mean that, you know, perhaps they'll end up going over to Conservatives, at which point the Conservatives, being the good leftists they are, will make things even more illegal.
Uh, if they're considered Islamophobic, but the solution generally, no matter which side of the aisle these voters fall on... The Conservatives will just make them judges!
Yeah, despite making them such a small percentage of the population, they do have considerable impacts on the political system, which will mean that Conservatives and Labour will just start to offer them more benefits over and over again.
In America, it's quite interesting as well that fully two-thirds of U.S.
Muslims identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party, 66%.
Far fewer say they're Republican or lean Republican, which is 13%.
So that's a massive disparity right there.
Muslims are also far less likely than other Americans to describe themselves as ideological conservatives, probably because conservative means something very different in America as well.
But even then, why would they?
Yes.
We've just moved to this country.
No, I'm not really a conservative.
Just one in five Muslims, 21%, describe their political views as very conservative compared with, or conservative at all, compared with 36% of the public overall.
The greatest share of them describe themselves as politically moderate, which, as you mentioned, is probably just because, well, I've just got here, I don't care.
Who's offering me things?
Who's going to give me free money?
If you were to actually ask them on a case-by-case basis, you'd be like, right, Republicans are in favor of women's rights.
How do you feel about that, Mr. Ahmed?
He's probably going to be like, well, I'm not one of them.
What are the Democrats offering me?
The same thing, but they'll give you free money.
But transgender.
Well, I guess I'm voting for them then.
Yeah.
Today, about half of the U.S.
Muslims say homosexuality should be accepted by society, which is 52%.
Only half!
I know.
This is, I mean, I was shocked when I saw that figure, but once again, this is back in 2017.
So there's a self-selection bias, right?
So if you're a sort of more moderate and progressive Muslim, you're living in some country, there's Sharia law, and you're sick of watching gays being executed by the state.
You're like, right, I'm going to leave.
I'm going to go to America.
So you'd think that almost all of them would be in favor of Westernism in some way, but half of them are like, yeah, I'm not in favor of gays.
That's mad!
You'd imagine the selection bias, but there will also be the ones going, oh, they just give us free money.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, great.
I'll go over there then.
But it's just mental.
Half of them are just not in favor of it.
I mean, I was surprised when it was that many, to be perfectly honest.
But yeah, these people, they'll come over for benefits, economic tourism, you could argue.
And then we've covered, as I mentioned, that this is back in 2017, so things will have changed since then because the woke agenda is ramped up and ramped up and ramped up and less and less attention has been brought towards persecuting people for being critical of Muslims in the West, as they are for criticizing people for being Not in favor of the gay agenda, the LGBT stuff, especially being pushed on the kids.
So things have been changing, specifically in Canada as well, which we covered going on in here, which was a few weeks ago.
The Muslim Woke Alliance is over, where somehow the fraying ties of Christians and Muslims decided to put all of their differences aside for one joyful afternoon and team up so that they could scream, leave our kids alone.
Stop perverting children.
Yes, stop perverting our children in Canada.
And if I go to this article as well it has more information on such subjects where it says, an estimated 79% of eligible Muslim Canadians showed up to vote in 2015, nearly double the turnout from the previous federal election in 2011.
The victorious Liberal Party was the clear beneficiary of this pilgrimage to the polls, winning the support of over six in ten Muslim voters.
Conversely, support for the Conservative Party among Muslims tumbled into low single digits, but the Conservative Party May finally be at the precipice of a long-desired rapprochement with Muslim Canadians.
Just last week, a leaked audio recording of an Edmonton junior high school teacher berating a Muslim student apparently for skipping class to avoid pride events was leaked and that's what led to that particular protest.
Because you start to hear recordings of insufferable woke feminists screeching at your children because they decided, I don't want to go into school so I can get brainwashed today because it was all the pride events on that day.
Then you're going to show up and go, please stop doing that?
Just demand that Mohammed accept the pronouns.
I don't think that's how they go with these things somehow.
And then Trudeau showed up to do his typical thing, which is that go, this is all the right's fault.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
The Muslims were very progressive until the American right wing turned up.
Yeah, it's very shocking how he always does this.
This is his one go-to trick that works every single time.
Whenever anything goes wrong for his administration, he'll just turn around and say, the right did it.
The Muslims, like you say, they were all just happy in their progressive bubble until the right showed up and whispered in their ear, I hate the gays, you should hate the gays too.
And then they were just convinced!
The video was released, it was filmed by what appeared to be somebody in some school meeting that Trudeau showed up to, strangely.
Trudeau speaking with the Muslim community last week at a Calgary mosque, Baiton Nur mosque, after hundreds of protesters railed against gender ideology in schools chanting leave us kids alone.
He went on to claim that right-wing forces were driving a wedge between the Muslim community.
This is hurting the fabric of respect and openness that allows Canada to be one of the places where we support and defend the Muslim community more than just about any other Western Canadian.
If you look at the various curriculums, there's not aggressive teaching or conversion of kids into being LGBT.
There's something that's being weaponized people of the far right who have consistently stood against Muslim rights, he said.
But they are weaponizing the issue of LGBT, which is something that, yes, Islam has strong opinions on.
I love how he's couching everything.
Yeah.
How timid he is.
Sorry, is this all a quote from him?
This is all a quote from him.
This is wild.
It's very awkward.
In the same way that the religious right in Canada, the Christian right, has strong opinions against it as well.
Oh, that Canadian religious right?
Yeah, notorious.
Yeah.
They're using those fears to drive a wedge between the government that will always stand for all of your rights, just like I will always stand up for the rights of LGBT kids, including if they're LGBT Muslims.
We're going to defend your rights, even when you disagree with us defending other people's rights.
So that's an amazing quote.
This is an amazing quote.
I just want to spend a few seconds on it, right?
So, there's not aggressive teaching or conversion of kids into being LGBT.
Well, I disagree.
I disagree as well.
I've heard enough of the videos where the teacher's literally berating them, saying, if you don't accept the pronouns, you're out, right?
There's being weaponized by people, yeah, okay, rightly so, the far-right who have consistently stood against Muslim rights.
What's a Muslim right?
What rights do Muslims have that I don't have?
A right to colonize your country.
But seriously though, what is a Muslim right meant to be?
And then yeah, the religious right in Canada, which is just marching through the streets, I'm sure.
But then at the end of it, he gets into, look, I don't even care, Muslims.
I don't care what you disagree with me.
I'm standing up for your rights, even though you don't agree.
So shut up and let me trans your kids.
Well, no, it's not even that.
It's a complete admission at the end, like, yeah, my politics make no sense.
I'm completely insane.
I'm going to support your rights to hate my rights to defend rights that you hate.
I have no consistency in my brain for anything that I'm talking about, but I'm in power right now.
And this will continue to keep me in power as long as you keep voting for me.
So I'll do, literally, if you need me to get on my knees and beg right now, I will do that if it means that you vote for me.
That's his great strength, isn't it?
He's very good at speaking with purpose despite the fact that he's got no purpose and no other agenda other than to look after himself.
Very self-serving, narcissistic individual.
At least he didn't deliver the speech in blackface in Klaus Schwab's uniform.
Yeah.
Maybe, although I am surprised that in this particular image we've got up on screen right now he's not bathed in evil red light like Joe Biden was that time.
Surprised at the end of it he didn't say if you don't like any of that it's fine I'll just freeze your bank accounts.
Well he wouldn't do that because these are voters he actually cares.
They do need to stop getting photos of leftist politicians like this though, because yes, as much as it makes them look like evil dictators, it also makes them look far more cool and powerful and strong than they actually are.
I guess?
I mean, just stop doing that.
Get them when they're slumped, when they're hunching over, when they've got a little bit of dribble coming down from their mouth.
It can't be that hard with Joe Biden to get one of them like that.
And if you want the footage, it's there.
Like you can see, um, if it just goes here a little bit for a bit, a bit forward, uh, after this woman announces it, it's just him just basically leaning in, whispering to these people.
This is what, yeah, there he is just saying, Oh, here's my nonsense politics.
I'm just going to explain all of my nonsense politics to you.
I would never I don't want to say this on stage, but yes, I make no sense whatsoever.
And what he's talking about where you were saying, well, these people obviously are aggressively pushing this agenda in schools every single day.
It seems that more and more there are clips coming out of people filming themselves or recording themselves being berated by teachers because every single time they have the LGBT pride days and such, what happens is all of the Muslim students, in this case, 600 out of this school, which was in a Northwood public school in Ontario, Windsor.
600 of the schools, 800 students stayed home.
So what is that?
A full three quarters of the students stayed home because they didn't want to get berated with all of this rubbish for an entire day.
And then you get recordings like this where the teacher, if we scroll down through some of the choice quotes here, says, I do not want to be part of this school.
I'm so disgusted by what happened yesterday.
Hang on a second.
You're saying you're disgusted with Muslims and Islam?
Yes.
Like that's what you're saying?
Incredible admission.
The Muslims are like, look, we can't go to LGBTQ pride because literally we'll burn in hell.
So our religious convictions make us stay home.
You're like, that is just disgusting.
How dare you?
The teacher also told the class her colleagues opted to plaster LGBTQ rainbows all over the school in response to significant abstentions on Pride Day.
All the rainbows, this is the quote, all the rainbows you see around the school was because very few people came yesterday and the teachers are angry.
Oh, that'll make them want to come back.
So in spite of the teenagers, just to spite the teenagers, the Muslim teenagers, you've decided to put up lots of rainbows around your school.
The teachers are the children in this situation.
These teachers have the emotional maturity of a spoiled toddler.
Why is it not enough for these people just to do their jobs?
Why do they have to bring their own agenda into the classroom like this?
It's sickening.
They consider pushing the agenda to be their job.
They consider the idea that they form people's minds.
They want to manipulate.
They don't see it as manipulating, but they want to manipulate people's minds into this way of thinking.
That is their job from where they see it.
They're literally inches away from calling these Muslims heretics, aren't they?
You heathens!
And then, according to this, a June 20th apology letter was sent to all of the families by the principal because he was like, we're sorry you called your children apostates.
That was wrong.
There are worse insults.
I'm sure, but I wouldn't want to dare name them on here.
In the meantime, all the kids are leaving that school innumerate and illiterate.
Yeah, presumably so.
But at least they get to keep their culture and their heritage and their family lives intact.
So that's nice.
So the woke coalition, as always, is just fraying at the seams, just about to fall apart.
The only question I have is what's going to happen afterwards.
And I can only hope that the conservatives all across the West don't all decide to turn around and go, ah, well, we can just do what you did better.
I do apologize Callum.
do and with that let's get on to the video comments shall we have we got them lined up John excellent let's go on with these yeah I did say that I was responding to the idea she has just stopped oil physiognomy being young not because I mentioned that well let's go to the I do apologize Callum it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular but I'd already spent a half hour on the video so damn it
I was going to upload it.
I feel like I've missed something there.
I also feel like I've missed something, although I will say I'm glad that Callum said just stop oil physiognomy, because I know exactly what he means.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Today I am just out here enjoying some art.
Hmm.
Untitled blue monochrome, 1961.
Yes.
Yes, that is indeed blue.
Very nice.
Untitled pink monochrome, though, is a complete letdown.
That is not pink, that is rats!
I want my money back!
Untitled white monochrome, though, is very nice, very nice indeed.
God, I really hate monol...
Two out of three ain't bad there, only had one example of false advertising.
You had one job!
Just make it pink!
But thanks, I remember being like 14, being taken to an art gallery, and like, you know, we were wandering around because we were kids, we didn't care, right?
And so there was some, you know, old piece of art that were quite nice people doing things.
And then there was just literally this one where it was just someone had painted layer upon layer of paint.
And so it was black, except around the edges, you could see like the frayed bits of the, you know, where he hadn't quite fully painted.
And, and the teacher was like, yeah, isn't this great?
I was like, no, I do not respect this in any way, shape or form, but it was better than the pink monochrome.
It's this thing where you're supposed to appreciate and respect the idea behind things, but I need to see ideas presented with some skill.
I need to see some skill and ability in the presentation of an idea.
That untitled pink monochrome, I mean, what's the theory behind that?
Have we subverted your expectations?
I feel like we need John Dee here so he can aggressively explain to us why it's actually genius.
I've seen him do that on Twitter.
I'm not having it.
I'm not having it.
Let's move on.
The Tidewater is the region responsible for the Anglo-Liberal Enlightenment values that made the alliance of colonies possible.
Much like the British Empire assumed many peoples could work under a single framework, the Tidewater held the colonies together.
This made the metaphorical Petri dish of America possible.
This Petri dish took the portions of English, French, Scotch-Irish, German, and Dutch culture, freed it from the bonds of geography or ethnicity, then pit them against each other.
And how else could this have ended?
America was the perfect place to breed the diseases that would end the West, all made possible by English Enlightenment principles that we built our country on.
Interesting.
Any response?
Yeah, my response is I was looking at that map, like it was like a video game.
I'm like, yeah, I could take Greater Appalachia and turn that into the Appalachian Empire.
That sounds pretty great.
Looking at things for a pure, total, warm frame.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was, yeah, yeah.
I respect it.
As much as I want to share California news, and I do, I found my 4chan folder again, and I thought this would be a fun opportunity because, for this one, I can say I was there.
OP claimed to be a driver in security for Jeffrey Epstein.
Pause and read it if you want.
In the end, he said that he'd send out what he knew to the legacy media, and he would end his life.
The crazy thing about it, though, is that the next day when the news broke, Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested.
Oh, that's interesting.
I might have to skim through that.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I would love to read through that whole thing on here right now, but that was a lot.
Yeah, it was.
That was a lot of info to go through.
With more and more conspiracies being proven to be reality, it's only a matter of time before the left starts gaslighting us.
Blaming Trump for faulty vaccines?
Saying right-wingers perpetuated the idea of global warming?
Personally, I'm looking forward to them gaslighting us about Alex Jones' clockwork elves.
So do you think the left will eventually be like, no, the right were always the real climate change advocates all along? - Yeah.
Yeah, do you know what, that might be their only recourse after a while.
Might be quick.
No, this has all worked out very badly.
Just blame the other ones.
Blame it on them.
Pretend it was never anything to do with us in the first place.
Like the Covid vaccine.
They believed so much we told them so far, they'll believe this as well.
That is what they always go back on.
Justin Trudeau is blaming Muslims not liking gays on the right wing, so eventually it will wrap back around to that, won't it?
Do you want to read some comments?
Yeah, I can do some.
Le French Just Burn Oil says, Carl, does your device's battery come from California by any chance?
I have no idea, it probably comes from China.
I obviously forgot to plug it in.
Before the podcast.
Baystape says, I obviously disavow the sentiment, but I'm legitimately amazed.
I've never seen a video of a Just Stop Oil protester being punched in the face.
Please, nobody use violence against them.
Allow me.
I'm shocked that you've never seen one either, Baystate.
I would expect you to have compilations of them.
I think you're going to have the one where the truck driver basically starts running one over.
I didn't find that one.
I've not seen that one, no.
I've just got it on repeat on my desktop.
That's his screensaver now.
There's a few of those, they always make a meal of it though.
If there's a car just trying to inch its way through, they'll just try and stick their arm under a wheel.
Try and glue themselves to it as it's driving away.
John says, do you see how quickly the police were to remove the Just Stop Oil protesters when they tried to slow down the recent gay pride parade?
At least we know the current intersectional pecking order.
I hadn't seen that, no.
Yeah, they tried to invade a gay pride parade and the police, well, removed them.
Oh, this is the issue with the Met Police, isn't it?
It's not about what's the best policing that we could do in these circumstances.
It's what's going to get us the best PR?
What's going to make us get everyone off our back and stop calling us racist?
And what's going to look best in the eyes of the woke establishment?
I just love it.
It's like, look, you middle class white people, there are a bunch of freaks with their dicks out here parading in front of children.
You're not allowed to interrupt.
You can interrupt normal people on their way to work.
Thank you very much.
Like, you know, decent progressive people.
Thank you.
There's the reveal preferences every time.
It's like, well, we desperately care about the environment and how we're all going to spontaneously combust in just a few months, but we don't want to stop people BDSM in the streets.
Yeah.
George says, the police defending Just Stop Oil clowns is a reminder that they're not your friends and are there to defend the interests of the establishment rather than law and order.
And it also shows you where Just Stop Oil come in the hierarchy, what you're saying.
They're pushing on an open door.
All of these people are like, yeah, let's get to net zero.
And Just Stop Oil are like, yeah, we need to get net zero faster and here's some orange paint.
It's like, who are you objecting to?
No one objects to what you want.
Stanley says, just up oil is the green imperialism manifestation.
They think that they are the rebels, while the truth is they're doing, in essence, what the invaders used to do.
Energy is the most vital factor in development in developing countries.
Like, where I come from is the victim of these stopping oil production narratives of the climate Islamist cult.
They are a cult, they are not any different to flat earthers.
Fair enough.
Derek says, weather covered maps red equals perfect weather to watch Oppenheimer.
Harry, I know you won't watch it no matter what the weather.
You're not watching Oppenheimer.
I've said this on podcast the other day, I am totally and utterly drained and bored by Christopher Nolan's more recent films.
For the love of God, that one that he did recently, the one right before Oppenheimer, the one where it was all about time travel.
Tenet.
Yeah, Tenet.
The main character was called Protagonist.
It's a joke.
No, I'm not.
The main character was called Protagonist, and I just thought, Christopher Nolan, you have just lost any interest I had in your career.
The main character was called Protagonist?
Yes!
Was the villain called Antagonist?
Maybe.
I wouldn't know.
I didn't watch it.
Because the main character was called Protagonist.
Yeah, he got a lot of license and a lot of leeway after the Batman films, didn't he Christopher Nolan?
But I think people have run out of patience.
I like the Batman films.
I enjoyed Interstellar.
I thought that Memento is a classic.
Prestige is probably the best one of his that I've seen.
But after Interstellar, I just don't care anymore.
It's the three hours.
It's three hours long.
Instantly an alarm bell, isn't it?
If you can't edit it down a little bit from three hours, then it feels like there might be a little bit of self-indulgence gone into this project.
Just a smidge.
I still look really boring.
Omar says, it would be more accurate to call Just Stop Oil, Just Start Genocides, since stopping oil would kill hundreds of millions more than communism.
Which is probably true.
Yes, this is very true.
Screwtape Laser says, having managed retail stores in a diverse Californian city, I suggest they start the mathematics overhaul with teaching children how to read a clock.
Oh, this is true actually.
Oh yeah?
A lot of people my age now can't read analog clocks anymore.
I find it... The decline is real!
I find it horrifying.
And 24 hour clocks as well.
What?
You say, what's 23?
I mean, it's 23, isn't it?
It's the 23rd hour of the day, you retard.
It's 11pm.
That's what it is.
What's that?
No!
It's past your bedtime.
Yeah.
Sophie says, hiring a diverse crew for that submarine went so well.
No issues.
Nothing happened.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Fair.
Weirdly, the young lady they brought on to do things, she survived it because she didn't go down on the submarine.
Well, no, of course she wasn't being put in risk, was she?
No, no.
Charles says, 2023, everything is racist except racism.
It's very inclusive, racism.
Baron for Warhawk says, I don't understand why the recruiter is turning down white men joining the Air Force, as the entire US military is suffering from a recruitment shortage.
That's because the white men are white.
That's literally the reason.
Omar says, the left can't stop trying to jam the square peg of equity into the round hole that is what minorities actually want.
You can give them unrivaled tuition, but if they don't want it, they'll never learn anything.
If they want to learn, you can't stop them becoming the next Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell.
Considering how counterproductive their efforts are, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a conspiracy to make sure there aren't any more of them.
I mean, that is one of the major problems they have.
It's like, How many people in these communities, like how many women, like, I wish I was a pilot in the air force.
I mean, how many white women want that?
How many, how many women of any race want that?
Most women just aren't interested in those sorts of things.
That is always the problem, which is that whether or not you want to talk about competency, let's just talk about desire in the first place.
You're trying to force these people to do things that they just don't want to do.
And, uh, but these people, they don't care about autonomy or individual choices or freedom of association or anything like that.
What about the quality of the services that are being provided when you get on the airplane?
Well that's it, there are some jobs that require such a high level of skill that you've got to have a tremendous desire to want to go down that path to start off with.
So you take on people just by making it so tempting they can't refuse.
By making it easy for them to go down that road and by promising them a certain amount of money, you're going to end up with dangerous mediocrity.
Yeah.
And it is literally going to be dangerous.
It's going to be like that King Hospital.
And if it turns out, if one day I need an operation and the best person to give that operation in the entire world is a black guy, I'm not going to turn my nose up at him.
Okay!
I'll go and go, will you make sure I don't die?
Okay, that's all I need.
Just please don't let me die.
That's all I need.
Well, the question is, is terminal treatment any worse than no treatment?
Which is what most of us get at the moment.
That's a great question.
But like, I just, I can imagine at some point being, you know, falsely accused of something and I'm sat in front of this judge and this judge is a diversity hire with a Twitter account.
I'm just going to laugh.
I'm in so much trouble, you know?
Anyway, Jan says, I wonder how long it's going to take until this madness reaches the rest of Europe.
All the while, the calls for it can't happen here are, and we're going to do it right, and so on.
I'm guessing that for Western Europe, probably a year or two, and then Eastern Europe via the EU directives within the next five years.
Eventually, Poland's going to be getting diversity hire judges.
Great.
No doubt.
Heartbroken.
I still can't believe the disappointment I brought on myself looking into that story where I was like, yes, at least Poland's doing something right now.
And then you decided to snatch my dreams away from me.
No, no, no.
They took hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
You know, what do you want?
Yeah, Lord Nerevar says, it's always felt very unnatural for there to be an alliance between Muslims and the far left.
It's obvious to an outsider that Muslims were only there because they saw the Wokas as a subversive force that destabilized the Western nations they hate.
And now that they're attempting to bring the Muslims into the ideology itself, they're leaving them behind.
Yeah, well, this is what I said this years ago.
The Muslims are going to.
Obviously, when, you know, the left are like, hey, we're going to give you loads of money and like ideological protection.
Of course, you're going to side with us.
Why wouldn't you, right?
But as soon as like right now you have to believe what we believe that's going on.
No, we're not having this, obviously.
And also he's right to point out there that Muslims as a group, one, aren't a single group to have their own desires.
They're a lot more autonomous than some of the other groups that make up the woke coalition because the woke, the LGBTs, they just want it so that the government will just give them the space to be degenerates in public.
The Muslims, they want a lot more than that.
Yeah.
Brian Tomlinson says, punching a fascist is wrong all of a sudden.
Wow.
That's interesting.
But I mean, one of the things though, I take it you've seen the weather maps on Twitter from the BBC, where it's literally the darkest black, red, purple sort of, and it's just like, look guys, I don't believe it.
You know?
And underneath in all the comments, like people from these areas, because Twitter is worldwide and someone's like posting, it's like 35 degrees here.
It's really nice.
What are you talking about?
Like it's not 50 degrees and we're not on fire.
Please stop this.
Well, the problem is always that they put the actual numbers up as well.
They don't just have it be the colour so that you think that Europe has just set on fire.
There's been wildfires that spread across.
But they put the numbers up so it's like 29 degrees, bright red.
That's quite alright.
They had one the other day where it was like 47 degrees in Sardinia.
And then someone from Sardinia posted the BBC's local weather report being like, well you're saying it's 33 degrees.
On the local weather report.
Why are you doing this?
You know?
And so it's just like, okay.
I mean, it's just this nonstop train of propaganda.
I just, I don't believe any of it.
You wonder what the next step and how they're going to ramp up the weather reports to make them even more, uh, alarmist.
The weather report has come on and just sort of, uh, just let their swimming, their swimming trunks and sunglasses soaked in sweat or whatever sweat they can manufacture in the makeup department.
Heating up the studio so they're all drenched.
Holding a fan to their faces.
Yeah.
It's really serious this time.
Just little fires breaking out just in the corner, smoke billowing across the screen.
This is another thing, they're like, oh, you know, the 5,000 or 10,000 people died from the heat this year.
So yeah, but like 100,000 people died from the cold.
Actually, you know, which one is worse?
Anyway.
Or better, depending on your perspective.
Well, yeah, depending on whether you run the NHS or not.
Great, more spaces for diversity.
Literally, you know, if you've got something wrong.
I hate the NHS these days.
Anyway, Sophie says, man, California is for such a rude awakening.
It already is a horrible place in most areas, but the rich have managed to maintain the high living standard propped up by Silicon Valley and Hollywood.
I'll stop you there because I mean, I followed Seth Rogen on Twitter and he was like, look, getting your car broken into is just a part and parcel of living in Hollywood.
Just buy a new car, bro.
Well, I mean, he can afford to buy a new car.
Yeah, he can, but I can't.
Silicon Valley has been the firing spree since I was sourcing jobs for other places, and not just in California.
Hollywood is under complete collapse.
So if you think California is a hellhole now, give it another year.
Yeah, man.
I tell you, like, next week, I'll probably talk about the writer's strike in Hollywood.
And I've been seeing loads of headlines.
Oh, they're losing 600k a day.
And I'm like, yes, yes.
Ruin yourself.
Because I hate both sides of this argument and I just want them both to lose.
The actors are all sanctimonious idiots who decide that just because of the fact that somebody can point a camera at them and they can play pretend for a designated amount of time, that gives them a say in how the rest of us live.
And the writers are even worse because they're writing the nonsense, the rubbish that these people say.
Yeah, it's absolutely atrocious.
Like, I can't remember the last time I watched a Hollywood film.
It was probably Joker in 2019 that I actually enjoyed.
So it's been a good four years since I watched a Hollywood film that I enjoyed.
I don't know if... Was The Northman a Hollywood production?
I don't know, I didn't watch it.
Oh, you should!
It was a fantastic film, and it was very much outside of the Hollywood trends that go nowadays.
I mean, the director, Robert Eggers, he actually cares about the art that he produces.
Oh wow, I didn't know.
And I would actually call what he produces art.
Other than that...
Uh, Banshees of Anishinaabe was not Hollywood, so that wouldn't count.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new Snow White film, to be honest.
Oh, there's no Prince Charming.
Snow White's the leader.
And the dwarves are actually about five feet.
Well, there's one.
They've got a total dwarf.
Is it Peter Dinklage?
Sadly not, because that would be perfect.
I've said he's been pulling up the stepladder behind me.
He absolutely is.
He's a very small-minded man.
I think we're out of time there.
Yeah, yeah, I think we're about out of time for all of that then, so thank you all very much for watching.
Andrew, is there anything you'd like to say before we sign off?
I'm in Swindon tonight doing a stand-up comedy show at the Swindon Arts Centre.
I did hope Lotus Eaters were going to come along, but it turns out they're not going to be able to make it.
Jon's going, the producer's going, a bunch of us are.
It's just I personally can't.
And I can't either.
Oh, that's alright.
You know, next time Come along any time.
I'm in Swindon, you are.
Swindon Arts Centre.
I've got at least two seats that you can buy tickets for.
I've been to every other show you've done in Swindon.
I know.
I can't bring the kids along.
You can't?
No.
There you go.
Oh, OK.
All right, then.
So don't bring your kids, but there will be two seats free.
So with that, thanks everybody for tuning in.
We've been the Lotus Eaters.
We'll be back on Monday at one o'clock.
