	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lerter Seaters.
	I'm joined by Josh.
	Hello.
	And congratulations, Sailor.
	It's Friday.
	You've made it to the end.
	Sailor?
	I don't know.
	I assume most of our audience are sea captains.
	It's the demographic we're going for this month, isn't it?
	Absolutely.
	And in that vein, we have some good news for you, Sea Captains.
	We have a generational opportunity to deport the landlubbers, the labour making misogyny a hate crime, and the Poland stronk too.
	How do you feel about going to prison very soon, Callum?
	For the hate crimes?
	What, for being misogynistic?
	Worth it, I think.
	I think it's gotta be worth it, right?
	You've been in your cell serving 20 years and you'd be like, it was worth it.
	Yeah, women are different.
	Whoa!
	they put you in prison whoa steady on yeah but I mean how funny would that be like genuinely just being in prison being like yeah I don't believe ladies have cocks that's not one of the things I'm in didn't you know that as of 10 years ago everyone's just you know forgotten that they didn't there's not going to be enough prison space so we were just going to be on like suspended sentences the whole country it's going to be like El Salvador we're all going to be squashed in together like sardines Just like, you in for the same thing?
	You have an argument with your wife?
	Speaking of such dystopias though, I have some bad news, which is our Lord and Master, Mr. Benjamin, has fallen ill.
	The good Nurgle has taken him from us for a day.
	Don't worry, he'll be back.
	But he's ill, so we can't do the Cyberpunk dystopia this evening.
	So, um, not that today.
	Another day.
	There we go, I'm done.
	That's the announcements.
	Alright, Sea Captains, let's go.
	Yar.
	We have a generational opportunity to deport them, and I am a bit weirded out by some people not seeing this as the You know, silver platter that it is, of the reason as to why we on the British right, and the American right, and the French right, and the German right, and the... God, we'll be here forever.
	The right right.
	Yeah, the right right.
	The left right.
	Weirdly enough, yes.
	Paul Embry over there.
	Blue Labour or whatever.
	We're all actually correct about the world, which is that maybe we shouldn't import loads of people who hate us and want us exterminated.
	And I know this has been a difficult debate in the West.
	I mean, there are two sides to that debate.
	Somehow.
	The people who want to live and the people who are ignorant.
	Yeah.
	And finally, we've been given this golden opportunity, I think, of the Israel-Palestine conflict spinning up so much in the media and the elite circles over the past week or so, I'd say.
	And I wanted to just go through this because it's Something we should grab with our arms and be like, finally, yes, please, because we all know what actually works, which is, you know, peace and stability.
	You know, once you have that, you can then argue about economics and everything else, you know, what kind of rights you should have.
	Don't gesture at me dismissively when you say that.
	Well, you know, I want the guns, you want the drugs.
	I don't know what's wrong with that.
	I want the guns as well.
	Oh, okay.
	And then, you know, the drugs go away.
	Okay, well, this is my point.
	I'm making a case that we should all work together on this.
	Because I saw this.
	This lady has deleted these tweets because of how embarrassing they were.
	She's, I believe, a Jewish lady.
	She decided to tweet out, Jews marched in Selma.
	Jews marched for George Floyd.
	Jews showed up for Black Lives Matter.
	BLM is a disgrace because of the tweets they did, being like, you know, telling babies.
	It's kind of our thing.
	And then she ends off with, we will all still be there for you guys next time.
	Because that's who we are, but now we know who you are.
	And in case you think she's arguing, oh no, we'll be there for the black community or something, not BLM.
	No, she followed the sign with like, no, no, no, the BLM is a terrorist organization, we'll be there for them.
	Classic, insane person on Twitter, who has just dealt with this worldview of like, oh, I love BLM, hang on a minute, they want to kill us all, and is not really sure what to do, she's struggling.
	A little rescue dog over here.
	You know, genuine concern for this person's mental health.
	Just like, these people are terrorists, they, you know, they hate us, but also... We'll be with you next time.
	It's like, okay, well, maybe you should learn a lesson instead and abandon all of that, you friggin' lunatic.
	The left's impulse to self-destruct really is that strong, is it?
	Because, of course, you know, modern Jewish leftists, I've got a lesson to learn here, and if they would please stop being leftists, they might be useful, because Jewish rightists have been, so, very useful in arguing the case.
	It's like, maybe you shouldn't import loads of Palestinians to America because I'm a Jewish American, and we don't get along.
	It's usually the conversation you have with them, and they're like, yeah, this is why I support the right, trying to close the borders.
	It's like, yeah, okay.
	I know it's a bit of a tangent but did you see that video clip of the protest in London where they tried to graffiti a Palestinian flag but instead they did the flag of the Czech Republic?
	They forgot to do the two stripes, instead did one through the middle.
	I hadn't seen that, but that is funny.
	They don't even know they're in country.
	The point being, you know, we're not for mass migration of any group.
	We want to keep the ethnic states in their situation, where the ethnic groups have the right to their own homeland, and in that sense can have, you know, mild amounts of immigration, exchange, blah, blah, blah.
	But not the literal, you know, massive cultural and ethnic change that we see in London, or in America, or in Germany, or in... I'd be here forever if I went there.
	Because of course the left to be consistent in its rhetoric that you know they appeal to well people have a right to self-determination in their homeland and that's why colonialism is bad except if you're European.
	Yeah if you're a colonial of any other type.
	So ancestral revenge very much on the menu apparently.
	But in case you're wondering about the cost I mean we're gonna have to stomp up an extra three billion sorry three million pounds for some reason.
	I was expecting it to be more actually.
	This is specifically to enhance the safety of the British Jews From, I presume, Bob 65?
	Is that 3 million pounds to give them special stars so people know to protect them?
	I mean, what are they doing with that money?
	I think it's for, well they say it's for charity here, but it's going to result in more bars on windows and security details at Jewish schools and what not, and synagogues.
	If you go to them in this country already, you'll see them.
	You'll go to a school and you'll see bars on the window, like you're living in Gaza and you're like, but this is England.
	I mean, the modern state education system is already enough like a prison.
	I mean, they don't need to do it anymore.
	Yeah, having to have that level of security is, well, something apparently we now have to pay for.
	Speaks of policy failure, doesn't it?
	It's almost like, yeah, exactly right.
	And speaking of that, it really hits home when I see stories like this.
	We mentioned it yesterday, but I'm going to feature it today.
	I mean, this was yesterday.
	Today is apparently the International Day of Jihad, according to Hamas.
	They want Muslims to rise up and Do things.
	Strongly worded letters I'm sure.
	Have a civil debate.
	For some reason Polish people are not worried about this International Day of Jihad.
	They're all going to work now to worry about it.
	I wonder why that is?
	Yesterday this guy decided to go down to a pound shop and start screaming at some worker that he was going to cut her head off.
	I was like, okay.
	Why are you in Swindon, Mr. I-love-beheading-random-women-but-not-supporting-Hamas?
	That's a very strange thing to do if you're angry at Israel to go to a pound shop.
	It's a bit anti-Semitic, I mean, come on.
	We're just gonna do Jew jokes.
	But you can see here as well, this guy's from London.
	He already had convicted terror offences.
	Why is he here?
	Yeah.
	Convicted terror offences, just like, yeah, we need this guy.
	And this was the pound shop on Swindon's main high street as well.
	Yeah, one below.
	Whole side point, I did have a friend round and she pointed out that most of our pound shops, if you don't know what a British pound is, just sound like sex shops.
	You've got Poundland, one below.
	What's the other one on the high street?
	I forget.
	Poundstretcher?
	I don't go to any of these places.
	Poundstretcher!
	Yeah, in that context, that's horrific.
	Anyway, but this is, you know, just, why do I have to live like this?
	And I went on to talk about the demographics.
	It's like, well, who did this to us?
	You know, why did this happen?
	Is that Regent Street in Central Swindon?
	Yeah, this is where I live and where this happened.
	Where I live, yeah.
	25% white English Welsh.
	I'm surprised it's that much.
	A lot of the time when I'm walking to work, I'm the only English person.
	Yeah, you definitely say it.
	And it's so sudden as well.
	Like I mentioned about Canada before, is that you can hear the accents.
	It's like you haven't been here for 10 years and picked up a local accent at all.
	You people have clearly just come here in the last five years or under, and you've still got a strong regional accent from where you're from.
	This level of change is perfectly normal, I'm sure.
	Which is why I say we should grab this issue with both hands and try and use it to try and save the West as well.
	I wholeheartedly agree, yeah.
	And you can see this going on.
	I mean, in London, you can see a lot of Jewish accounts.
	You can see antisemitism.
	Stop antisemitism here.
	That'd be weird if there was an antisemitism account on Twitter.
	But anyway, two London ladies, as you can see here, ripping down posters that are talking about the dead children.
	So they were like, you know, here's the children that Hamas killed.
	Here's their faces.
	This is why you should side with Israel.
	Female Muslim Morpheus there, tearing down the posters.
	So yeah, London ladies.
	And I'm just sorry, I'm so sick of sitting here and being like, yeah, average London situation.
	Well, maybe, maybe we should try and save the West and not have this happen.
	To be fair, they are the average Londoners at this point, aren't they?
	And that's the point.
	We should be using this as an instance to point out, you know, if this is what it takes for people finally to listen to the argument of why mass migration fails, you know, the multiculturalism will literally start killing each other.
	Okay, fine.
	This will be the argument.
	To be fair, if they were just taking down posters in general, I would approve.
	Just any poster.
	I think you shouldn't put them up.
	They make a place look worse.
	I'm not going to pour it.
	Sorry, I didn't mean to go on a tangent about litter.
	My problem with the Israel Post.
	I've got too much litter, I tell you.
	You can see here, this is in Philadelphia.
	how these lads are we did this yesterday ranking british cities and you can go check out the um well news there in case you're thinking of visiting and london is not one we would advise of course but it's not just london i mean as i mentioned all the other countries of the west have the same situation except for some reason eastern europe you can see here this is in philadelphia some guy shouting i salute hamas for a job well done so he's not i mean i'm sorry it is kind of you know paper thread the whole i'm just here for palestine in general Which is why I'm doing this immediately after the kids were dead.
	Like, before the strikes have happened on Gaza, people went out and did this.
	But this guy wasn't even caring, he just went, yeah, I support Hamas.
	Alright?
	He does realise that a lot of the Islamic world isn't exactly, particularly woke on race.
	A lot of these people, the Black Lives Matter types, they do realise that That they're not going to be well-received in the nation that they support.
	Do you remember that leftist we spoke about, my favorite one from The Guardian, where she grew up in Sudan?
	I know who you're on about, yeah.
	Yeah, North Sudanese, so they're like Arab-African mix, and they're Muslims.
	So they used to say racial slurs and stuff about the South Sudanese, because they're way more African than Christian.
	And then she was like, yeah, we're better than them.
	And then she went to Saudi Arabia for a year and then was like, hang on a minute, why do these people keep calling me the N-word?
	It's like, yeah.
	There's always a bigger racist.
	you can see there's more of this this is a New York City lady coming out and saying if they didn't do that we wouldn't have any hope for freedom specifically talking about the mass killings of civilians there she's not talking about anything else so it's not everyone knows freedom is contingent on killing civilians yeah apparently so And again, I mean, an argument to be made every single time.
	There's a reason I showed that you could basically pick a western city at this point.
	They all look the same right now.
	And if we can use this as an opportunity to try and, you know, save ourselves from the abyss, yeah, go for it.
	I'm just saying.
	I mean, you can see here, for example, some, as Andy Ngo writes, Traumatized UW students plead with the administration about a gathering of Palestinian supporters.
	I don't know what the specific situation is here, can't speak to it, but this is University of Washington and Jews getting upset about this, so yeah.
	I think crying for someone is a bit much.
	Yeah, I don't know what the specific circumstance is here, but we've... Maybe they've, you know, I don't know the background.
	We've spoken previously about the issue specifically with Paris and London, in which the Jewish population of these two major cities, basically the major cities of Western Europe, have gone.
	They've disappeared, in the same way the Jews of all the Middle East went to Israel.
	Well, when there were the Paris riots over that 17-year-old that was shot, rightfully so, that's controversial but still, they defaced...
	Yeah, they defaced Holocaust memorials and it was a Muslim 17-year-old who's, you know, driving at armed police with a car.
	All those guys who went into the kosher place in Paris and just shot up all the civilians because they were Jews.
	It's like, you know, this didn't used to happen.
	I mean, like, the Jews used to live here.
	Of course, in high numbers even then, because there's not that many Jews in the world.
	And they just didn't get gunned down by anti-Semites.
	It just wasn't a situation that happened in the West.
	It was something that happened in Israel.
	In the 20th century, there was that little blip.
	Of course, I'm talking after the Second World War.
	Fair enough.
	I wanted to add that caveat.
	We're talking about the 70s, 80s, 90s for some reason.
	There wasn't this mass movement of people who wanted to kill them.
	And fine, if that's the argument it takes for Jewish leftists to learn their lesson of maybe you should side with the people who would actually keep you safe, including ourselves as well.
	Kind of got our own self-interest for not dying.
	Weird.
	And it goes on as well, you can see here, this is France, they decided to ban all pro-Palestinian protests.
	The argument going because, well, all of you are literally not supporting Palestine, you're literally just out supporting Hamas, so we'll just ban you all.
	That's France for you.
	I'm certainly no authoritarian, but I do get quite a lot of satisfaction from the French when they're just like, yeah, you foreigner, you bad.
	We do what we want.
	There's a reason the French have gone this far, and it's because of how bad things have gone in France.
	What's the Muslim population like, 12% or something like that?
	It's quite a lot, yeah.
	But the effect of that has been just unbelievable amounts of violence and social disorder in France.
	There's sparks of every couple of months that we end up going through.
	I mean, that is one of the aspects that the immigrants have sort of ingratiated themselves in French culture, because rioting and being dissatisfied with France.
	Beating a dead horse here.
	French people riot, set fire to some stuff.
	You know, a few months ago, a guy went into Nice and stabbed a bunch of babies in their prams.
	There's a massive difference between what's going on and the French, as a response, have ended up in this situation.
	I mean, I did see a lot of people, especially like Mehdi Hassan, who fled to America because of how much of a joke he was here, who was like, well, so much for free speech in the West, am I right?
	It's like, bro, there was a guy stabbing babies in their prams.
	Yeah, so much for free speech in the Middle East.
	That wasn't even a big story!
	I remember I was in France, I remember speaking to people at the time being like, so is this, it's blown up in English media, is it blown up in French media?
	And they were like, oh, well, you know, it just kind of happens.
	That's such a horrible thing to just accept as a part of daily life.
	It just happens.
	No, it never used to, did it?
	There's a reason France ended up like this, banning all pro-Palestinian protests, and it wasn't just because of this specific instance or anything to do with Palestine, really.
	It's to do with the wider problems they've had for years because of, I don't know, mass migration and its effects.
	On the human civilization.
	Anyway, but it's not just Paris, of course.
	I mean, you can see here, this being in Paris, this is the French response.
	Oh, wait.
	Can you spot the French guys?
	It's over one million people who consider themselves, well, closer and more loyal to other places than Paris.
	Strange that.
	Yeah, it's...
	You don't see any French flags there, do you?
	I know it's a pro-Palestine thing, but still, they normally sneak at least one in.
	But it's the point of the, well, you never used to have this in 70s Paris, I assume?
	I'm a bit ignorant, I wasn't alive then.
	Well, to be fair, a lot of the sort of But you'd be looking at leftists, wouldn't you?
	Yeah.
	You'd be looking at white leftists who've gone to college.
	It would not be, well, let's say, the locals.
	Let's put that now.
	That's true, yeah.
	So we'll move on.
	You can see the sides of it here.
	Just there's a grad doing that.
	They're like, yeah, weird.
	For some reason in Poland.
	No noise whatsoever.
	And then you can see the French police turning up.
	They threw tear gas and dispersed water cannons and riot police to get rid of it because it's now banned.
	There you are.
	That's France.
	I wonder how they got to the point of banning these protests.
	I'm sure it just came out of the blue.
	Absolutely dumbfounded.
	Everyone knows the French are just massive bigots, aren't they?
	And you can see- Even the word bigot is French.
	This is in Vienna.
	This story's pretty... well, fucked.
	You see this person here just says... Is that the politically correct term, is it?
	Yeah.
	And this person says, in my city, 80 years ago, the Jews of Vienna were rounded up by the Nazis, beaten up, spat on, and some were raped and murdered, and then forced to clean the pavement.
	Of the German word.
	And in that exact same place, last night, 400 Arab migrants marched through the square, screaming, gas the Jews.
	Blimey.
	Do you see my point?
	Do you see people might listen to us for once?
	I mean, if we can not grab them with any other things, apparently we just have to grab them with the Israel-Palestine conflict.
	Whatever.
	Grab them and take the generational opportunity to be like, yeah, maybe we shouldn't import people en masse.
	Maybe this will lead to massive internal conflict that we never used to have in the same way.
	You know, for decades, after the Second World War, we were all fine with each other again.
	Maybe we could do that.
	I'm just saying.
	You can see here, there's a grad posting about the police that turned up because this particular protest was declared as pro-Hamas by the Austrian government and, of course, was therefore illegal because, well, they're a terrorist group in Austria.
	So there's that.
	Well done, Austria.
	And I don't want this to be the outcome.
	So this is the meme people were sharing when you know you're in Europe and there's about to be a lot of doctors and engineers and lawyers turning up.
	Just the clown face of Ryan Reynolds there.
	I mean, this is the solution you've seen from a lot of people saying, oh, why don't we just move all the Arabs to Europe?
	No more!
	Why don't we move them to the Arabian Peninsula?
	How about that?
	But we've gone through this for what, about a decade now?
	I think it's been the worst.
	Maybe two decades.
	It's been just awful for Europe, this way of operating and its consequences.
	And in which case, if we can take this as a turning point, let's do it now.
	If we can't do it for any other period, fine, we'll do it for now, on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
	Never again should we have mass movements of people from anywhere to Europe.
	Europe should have its own situation in which it can live in peace instead of having to deal with every other conflict around the world because the populations from there now live here and are killing each other.
	Is that too much to ask?
	We should have some sort of scheme where we just send people out there to say, oh, you want to sympathize with Hamas?
	Well, we'll, you know, fly you out there.
	You can volunteer.
	Oh, whoops, you've been blown up.
	Oh, how terrible.
	And people might think I'm being a bit optimistic.
	Well, I haven't been guilty of that, usually, to be honest.
	But Carl has been guilty of that.
	That's true.
	So it's my turn to have the copium.
	But the thing is, I don't think I'm taking copium here, because we can go and listen to the government ministers, and all of a sudden, after years of telling us they can't even deport a single boat migrant, Who came here illegally, obviously, and is taking the piss, obviously.
	For some reason on this issue they're able to buck up some muster.
	You can see here, this is the leader of the opposition in Australia, saying deport the protesters, because they were chanting gas the Jews.
	I mean... I feel like... Seems like a pretty simple case.
	I feel like Australia is the one case where kicking them out of the country is not the punishment.
	Sorry to actual patriotic Australians.
	Well, I don't care if it's a punishment or a reward for the individual getting deported.
	Just get lost.
	I don't want you in my country.
	We have nothing in common.
	And what happens if there's tens of thousands of more of you guys is cultural conflict and displacement of me being able to live in my own culture.
	You're allowed to stay if you teach the others not to drink petrol.
	Good luck with that.
	But Australia's not the only one that came out and went deport.
	You can see here the French government, which essentially came out and went deport.
	This is the government as well, not the opposition, as you can see here.
	The Interior Minister ordering all foreigners who commit anti-Semitic acts to be deported immediately.
	There have already been three people expelled here, so that'll be growing.
	I assume everyone in that protest there is up for deportation if they have a foreign citizenship.
	Hopefully so, yeah.
	You're engaging in a legal protest for a terrorist group, as the law will be written, in which case...
	Bye-bye!
	Bye!
	Bye-bye!
	Like the Sam Hyde meme over here.
	Because, frankly, yeah, weirdly enough, I remember, and people have rightly pointed out with the UK, because that's the last one here, you can see just coming out, foreign students and workers who pray some mass could be expelled from the UK.
	There was the grooming gang situation, and there was a particular case we focused on, because it summarized how little the establishment care about us.
	And it was a case of, I believe it was girls in Rotherham.
	There were three suspects who were all convicted of it.
	I believe two of them, if I'm getting this correct, John Button, if I'm getting it wrong, were foreigners.
	They were from Pakistan.
	They had Pakistani citizenship.
	And what ended up happening is they were released early and met their victim in Asda.
	Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this.
	It gave her massive trauma.
	You don't want to run into your abuser, do you?
	So we ended up organizing protests and letters to the home office being like, what the hell are these men doing here just to deport them their Pakistani citizenship?
	And then they managed to get their Pakistani citizenship revoked or whatever.
	Then the home office were like, oh, we can't deport them now.
	I was like, sorry, we have a man who raped children.
	Sorry, multiple of them.
	Not just these two, of course, but many others throughout the scandal in the UK.
	They could easily be deported.
	The government never did.
	They never had the must to even deport child rapists on our own soil.
	But we had them in prison and convicted in the evidence and blah blah blah.
	Okay, fine.
	Apparently that's not enough to solve the situation.
	I'll take this then.
	I will definitely take this as something we can start getting rid of people and lowering the level of immigration.
	Is that too much to ask?
	Of course not.
	It seems that the whole West agrees now at this point that I'm right.
	Okay.
	That's cool.
	That wasn't the case two weeks ago.
	If you're a conservative minister watching this, send this segment to your superiors.
	Well, I forget the name here, but here we are, Robert Jenrick.
	How have you pronounced it?
	I have seen him given speeches in Parliament, and whenever it comes to the illegals, he is correct on the wording.
	He always just says, they're illegal, need to deport them.
	But then do it.
	You have such political capital in the public supporting you, getting rid of anyone who has to do with this terrorist organisation.
	Why not just get rid of the rapists and everything else while you're at it as well?
	Just saying.
	And, um, well, fine.
	We have a generational opportunity.
	Let's take it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Sorry about that.
	No need to apologise.
	I felt like I was cutting you off because I got a bit into that one.
	No, it's important.
	I think mass migration is one of the, you know, most pressing issues the Western world is facing, isn't it?
	So, we've got to talk about this sort of stuff.
	I also saw, I mean, like, these people are also some of the most anti-white people in existence, would happily have us exterminated.
	I mean, they literally say it.
	Oh yeah, I mean, loads of the Islamic world say that they want to convert Britain into an Islamic country, don't they, as well.
	Like, I've seen some right-wing activists in various countries instead focusing on other stuff, and I'm like, Your number one cause is this, and you'll have a perfect opportunity.
	Just take it, guys.
	It's right there.
	Anyway, I'll shut up.
	So, it looks like there's going to be another curtailing of free speech in Britain, as if there wasn't enough already.
	You have free speech still?
	We don't.
	We obviously don't.
	You remember, sort of back in the day, when you might chastise someone for saying something, and they would say, oh, it's a free country, isn't it?
	No one says that anymore.
	It's funny, that phrase has died a death and it is for things like this.
	Angela Rayner's speech at the Labour National Annual Women's Conference.
	She announced that they're going to make misogyny a hate crime and I'm going to read the Labour Party's transcript of what she said so we don't have to listen to her personally and you can hear my voice instead of hers, which I'm sure some of you might be upset about.
	I listen to the speech, you're actually better.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm a better woman than Angela Rayner, according to Callum.
	You can make a claim.
	In this day and age, yeah, you can't.
	I'm just going to change my gender to female so I can avoid this new law.
	I mean, if the Labour Party is consistent, they're going to respect my decision.
	I'm going to get affirmative action.
	Before you start, I am going to wonder, are women going to go to jail for misogyny?
	I am almost certain they're not.
	I mean, they haven't fleshed it out yet.
	They've just announced it's going to happen.
	It's like a pledge, something they're going to do if they win the election, which does seem relatively likely.
	They're quite far ahead, aren't they?
	Which is a shame, but I mean, I don't want anyone to win.
	As in, I just want complete deadlock, government shuts down.
	So anyway, this is what she said.
	She says, I'm proud to say that in the Labour Party today, we now have more women MPs than men.
	So what happened to equality?
	You're off to a bad start.
	This is already midway through the speech.
	I've cut some bits out, but you know, I've left context in.
	So I'm not trying to, you know, do a dirty and pull things out of context.
	So it carries on to say, we are turning the tide of history, but the battle isn't won.
	There aren't enough women around the table.
	Well, Isn't the Labour Party over half women now?
	But still, it goes on to say, you need only look at the horrific acts of powerful men abusing young women and hiding in plain sight, which is what a select few powerful men.
	This is why the next Labour government will fight for every girl in this country to have a bright future, to stand up for every woman.
	I don't know what that word means.
	To break the glass ceiling and the class ceiling, our new deal for working people, that's some proper FDR stuff there, will make work more family-friendly, crack down on unfair pay and improve access to justice for those who discriminate against at work.
	And as I was pleased to announce today, I can't speak today, as I was pleased to announce today, Labour would properly tackle sexual harassment at work.
	And this is one of the most egregious claims because she says, a shocking two-thirds of young women have been sexually harassed at work.
	But in 2022, between 25 and 40 percent of people worked from home.
	So where is she getting those statistics from?
	Some percentage of people are getting harassed in their own home, or pretty much all women in the workplace outside of their home are getting harassed.
	It's because of their definition of harassment, almost certainly.
	Whenever you see a figure that high, it will be because they include, have you ever had comments that are about your sex?
	Well, yeah, people call me female.
	Well, harassment.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it's a questionable statistic because it suggests that we're as bad as Pakistan, like rural Pakistan even.
	I would have known about this by now.
	I know some women, funnily enough, and they tell me things about their life.
	They don't say, I'm sexually harassed constantly at work.
	I think that would have been something that would have come up in my time on this earth.
	It doesn't happen.
	Women don't have to wear burkas to even exist.
	I know.
	What is this world?
	But it goes on to say, that's why Labour's next government will amend the Equalities Act to introduce a legal duty for employers to take all reasonable steps to stop sexual harassment before it starts.
	And if that's legitimate sexual harassment, then fair enough, right?
	We don't want that going on.
	But that's not all, she says.
	We'll make misogyny a hate crime.
	There it is.
	Toughen sentences for perpetrators of rape and stalking.
	I actually agree with that, to be fair.
	And half the level of violence against women and girls.
	That last part, not really specified how that's going to happen.
	We're going to arrest all men.
	It won't.
	It's already actually quite low.
	The thing is basically flat.
	It just gets a lot of attention, doesn't it?
	Unlike male suicide.
	Women suffering the awful symptoms of menopause at work will get the support they deserve and we will empower women entrepreneurs and we'll tackle the crisis in women's health by training 7,500 more doctors and 10,000 more nurses and midwives each year.
	I mean, everyone benefits from more doctors and nurses, don't they?
	Is it just women?
	Just women.
	Okay.
	We've got a two-tiered health system where if you're a woman you've got your own specialist doctors and if you're a man you just get wheeled out in the back and shot.
	Is that actually the Barbie world?
	It might be.
	I haven't seen the film because I am a straight man.
	But yeah, I presume so.
	We've got the Canadian solution now apparently.
	So the government had previously entertained this idea, and here's an article from The Independent.
	The government confirms misogyny will not be made a hate crime.
	This was in April of this year, and this was because I think it was the Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Bill, the one that you had all the Kill the Bill protests in, and the House of Lords tried to add an amendment to it to make misogyny a hate crime, and the government said no.
	They asked them what misogyny was and they couldn't define it.
	Yeah, and supposedly the Law Commission warned that such a change may prove more harmful than helpful to victims and efforts to tackle hate crime.
	And the funny thing is that they said, and this might be a bit of a silver lining if you will, that by making it a hate crime it's actually going to reduce convictions for things that would have already been, I presume, criminal.
	So they're actually potentially shooting themselves in the foot, which is kind of amusing to me, but I will see it.
	You know, I'll, I'll believe it when I see it, should I say.
	So, obviously we're against hate crime legislation for a multitude of reasons.
	So you believe in the equality of law?
	Yes.
	Which is if you commit a crime you should get the same punishment as everyone else?
	That's a very good reason.
	If they commit the same crime?
	Wow, radical.
	You believe that the law shouldn't give certain people with demographic details special treatment.
	You attacked an aristocrat!
	An aristocrat has special rights!
	Well, don't win me round.
	Bad example, Callum.
	But that's what this is.
	It's just declaring certain races and sexes, etc.
	Aristocratic farces.
	Yes, but it's also worth mentioning as well, it empowers the government.
	It's another law that allows them to apply it selectively to their political opponents and they also apply political pressure on the police.
	And the police is basically, in Britain, have been restructured to the point where their political control is much easier.
	They take orders directly from the government, more or less, now.
	And it's also worth pointing out as well that the police use hate crime legislation to prevent public scrutiny of their own behaviour.
	And take, for example, this story...
	Tory councillor arrested for hate crime after sharing video criticising police.
	And I just want to read a little bit about this.
	I know it's a bit of a tangent, but it's a really quite shocking story that didn't get enough attention, I don't think.
	So yeah, he is a Conservative councillor and he's still getting persecuted.
	Councillor Anthony Stevens, 50, from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, told The Telegraph he was arrested at his home this month and escorted to the police station for questioning about tweets from his personal account, which has 76 followers.
	Hmm.
	One tweet involved a video showing... He could have shared his opinions in the town centre.
	Were they all police officers?
	Apparently so, yeah.
	One tweet involved a video showing how police had treated and arrested a Christian preacher, a word I'll never be able to say, that's her name, in Southgate, London in 2019.
	A police officer snatched... Oh, it's Mr. I'm gonna try it anyway.
	Illison Manan Mimimi.
	That's not it.
	Is that the police officer's name?
	No, it was the person's Bible.
	Oh, I'm pretty sure it was that black guy from Nigeria that got arrested, wasn't it?
	Yeah, it sounds like an African name.
	I tried.
	It's just, it's impenetrable, your language.
	But they took his Bible after the preacher was accused of being Islamophobic.
	Mr. African Man was later awarded £2,500 for wrongful arrest.
	The video, shared by Councillor Stephens in May, also showed footage of a police officer apparently stating that a Muslim preacher was allowed to preach on a high street, which I presume is not true.
	So I imagine he was sharing this out saying there's double standards, the police are not doing their job.
	And then the police came around and arrested him for a hate crime because he was being rude about them.
	So yeah, just the wishy-washy nature of what a hate crime is just empowers people to abuse their station, doesn't it?
	Corruption is what that is.
	It's also a weird thing because you can't make certain emotions criminal.
	It's like, are you feeling hateful?
	Then it's a crime, I'm sorry.
	Also, does the government know what's in your head?
	Even with our best efforts in psychological testing, we can't know for certain what emotions people are feeling, so it's absurd.
	But anyway, it is worth mentioning as well that Keir Starmer doesn't even know what a woman is, despite being married to one, and how can they protect women if they don't define what they are?
	And the final point, and the most important one that I want to hammer home, is that it's too subjective.
	What is legitimate political discourse and what is so-called hateful speech is very much in the eye of the beholder and therefore it's better not to have these subjective standards because it's just going to lead to a tit-for-tat politics where people are just persecuting each other as we are seeing now.
	You could even use the example of someone citing the gender pay gap not being real.
	as potentially being a hate crime because it's denying the lived experience of women or something like that.
	That is the world we could live in where actual research papers are now hate crimes.
	It's a perfectly reasonable interpretation and it's not like I want to go out there and be nasty to women.
	In fact, it's worth pointing out that I did a series on Victorian manners and etiquette and the Victorian view is that men should do all they can within reason to show kindness and make women feel at ease and I kind of have that philosophy of you know you don't be a simp obviously don't do that but you know just be nice to people.
	I know that's such a wishy-washy and annoying thing to say but yeah you can you can be against all of this stuff and it doesn't mean you want to hate on women.
	It's a weird argument in my opinion but I thought it'd be fun to go through and look at some of the things that are getting called misogynistic So we can see all of the things that are going to be banned and declared hate crimes.
	The first of which, and probably the most important, I know it's very close to your heart Callum, is this one.
	Let's call the abuse of Taylor Swift what it really is, a hate crime against women.
	And this is the opinion of Olivia Petter, I presume, in The Independent apparently.
	This is her actual argument by the way, that people expressing their opinions of Taylor Swift and her actions should be regarded as hate crimes.
	So, if you disapprove of Taylor Swift having a new boyfriend every week, then that is a hate crime.
	Strangely enough, I'm not a 12-year-old girl, so I don't follow what Taylor Swift's been up to.
	No, me neither.
	Or an alt-right guy.
	So, she's got new boyfriends and people were like... Or people criticizing how she sings or stuff, but she's a musician and that's how you... You have an opinion about music.
	That's kind of part of the reason why you engage in it in the first place.
	It's just bizarre, isn't it?
	But this just goes to serve that the term is so subjective that anyone can define anything as being misogynistic.
	And here's another one.
	If we scroll down here, you can get the headline.
	As women, we can never reclaim our bodies from misogynistic beauty standards.
	And who's setting these beauty standards exactly?
	Is it men saying, you need to look exactly like this?
	Or is it fashion magazines like this one and other women?
	Which are run by women and gays.
	Yes.
	I don't think it's men that are setting these standards and quite often men actually react better to a more natural look than they do this horrible lip filler and orange face stuff that is pervading the British Isles.
	I don't know how you feel about that Callum, but I think it makes people look hideous.
	I mean, we went over the beauty stuff from that beauty account that's now harder to find.
	And weirdly enough, the straight male is more interested in kind of what women would typically term like, oh my god, they're into hyper-sexualized women.
	It's like, no, it's just that's what looks better.
	The whole beauty standards thing is just Chinese whispers amongst women.
	Like a woman will have an idea about what men want.
	shut up, shut up.
	There is also variance in men's taste as well.
	Of course there is.
	You went through the facial features and etc.
	But there are some unique universal standards, which is a bugger.
	But it pretty much is how I'm going to phrase that.
	I think everyone knows what I mean.
	The whole beauty standards thing is just Chinese whispers amongst women.
	A woman will have an idea about what men want.
	Normally it's wrong.
	Not always.
	Where did that come from?
	Yeah, it's just, I've never even thought about that before.
	It's never even entered my mind.
	And it's just like, okay, that's a thing now.
	Okay.
	And also it depends on someone's build, whether it looks good or not as well.
	So it doesn't even suit everyone.
	But anyway.
	That's all women in fashion going to prison.
	There's going to be no one left.
	It's just going to be like one hermit left in England.
	They're going to be the only free citizen.
	And of course, Lawrence Fox and all of GB News are all misogynistic.
	So apparently Lawrence Fox is going to just be arrested for being Lawrence Fox.
	And GB News, just an abstract broadcasting entity, is just misogynistic.
	Not any of the people in it, just the organisation apparently.
	That's going to be banned.
	The Met Police, so if you say are a woman in London and you have a crime, maybe even sexually assaulted or something, and you call the police, well they're not going to be coming for you because they're banned.
	They're all hate criminals because they are institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic.
	Did you know this Callum?
	The Rainbow Police.
	Yes.
	We're talking about the Rainbow London Police.
	They bend over backwards for every progressive thing, but no, they're... They are, you know, the worst.
	They're basically, you know... Headler?
	Yes.
	I wasn't going to say it, because I know how YouTube feels about it, but... Yes, medicine is now misogynistic.
	So if you are sick, you're going to have to suck it up if you're a woman, because medicine is sexist.
	And yeah, if you want a life-saving operation, Perhaps you need to think about your hurt feelings being more important.
	So that's worth mentioning.
	This one I thought was quite hilarious.
	This isn't obviously the UK, but it gives you an idea.
	But I didn't realize the Mexicans were quite far along with how woke things are.
	What the hell are they even talking about?
	Mexican city to fine performers for misogynistic songs.
	So it says, the northern Mexican city of Chihuahua will issue fines for live performances.
	Chihuahua?
	Yeah.
	Is that real?
	Yeah, well, where do you think the dog name comes from?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, from Chihuahua.
	That's hilarious.
	You didn't know that?
	No.
	You'll never believe where the German Shepherd comes from, can you?
	But yeah, it says they'll issue fines for live performances of songs deemed to be misogynistic.
	The City Council has passed a measure which will allow it to impose levies of up to 1.2 million pesos or 72,000 US dollars or 56,000 pounds for playing of lyrics that discriminate against women amid a pandemic of gender-based violence.
	When I think of Mexico, I think of gender-based violence, not, you know, drug crime.
	General lawlessness.
	The cartels.
	Drug-based violence.
	Yeah.
	10 women and girls are killed every day in Mexico, the United Nations says.
	Is that a lot or a little?
	We've got no frame of reference.
	Are they killed for being in... This is like the COVID numbers in the middle of the pandemic.
	You need a figure to compare it to.
	Killed for what as well?
	For drugs?
	For being bad at cooking?
	What?
	Are we talking about gender-based violence or are we talking about any other type of violence?
	They could have been killed by other women for all we know.
	So that's literally useless information.
	And apparently Chihuahua has previously clamped down on songs seen as glorifying drug crime, which kind of makes sense.
	Yeah.
	I mean, well done Mexico, at least you've identified that part.
	I mean, the misogyny stuff, I don't know why you're focusing on that.
	Man, I was going to beat my wife!
	But then I stopped listening to the misogynistic songs because they were banned.
	Now I'm not beating my wife anymore.
	You can't play Led Zeppelin in Chihuahua, Mexico.
	Literally 1984.
	By the way, Led Zeppelin are great, so I'm not ragging on them.
	You know, their lyrics are a little bit questionable.
	And this is something I actually kind of agree with.
	Not the article itself, but body counts and the insidious normalization of misogyny.
	And I personally absolutely hate the phrase body count.
	It's such a horrible dehumanizing, just like, yes, my body count is this.
	It's like not only are you a degenerate, but also you're putting it as if you've murdered people.
	You're making it sound like they're not even human beings to you.
	You just sound like a psychopath, is my point, and it's such a vile phrase.
	It serves a purpose.
	Just to inform young women that there's a damage done.
	But if you're a soldier, if you're a mercenary, that's the only time you can brag about your body count.
	Not with this sort of stuff.
	You know, just refer to it as what it is.
	Not being a whore.
	Yes.
	I'm against being a whore.
	I know that's a controversial opinion, but I'm also against this term.
	So there is a sort of middle ground.
	And if you think that isn't enough, science is misogynistic.
	So bye bye to science.
	Just all of science is misogynistic.
	So that's also going to be a hate crime.
	Yeah, you're going to have some nerd doing some research paper.
	I know I'm saying that, but I did this, but still.
	And they're just going to be taken away.
	You're doing science, don't you know this hurts women?
	These facts, these things you're discovering about the world, they can't deal with this.
	Use micro-affirmations to call out micro-aggressions to help others.
	Did I just read?
	And by the way, this is Nature as well, which is one of the most esteemed academic journals.
	Sorry, just also, sorry to hijack, but I have to look at what the hell is.
	No, no, go ahead.
	Oh, you want me to pay?
	The hell with that, I'm not paying you.
	You've got to pay to access this mental illness.
	laughs That's the kind of psychology I'm all about.
	But yes, obviously this is ridiculous because everything is being called misogynistic.
	No one really knows what it means anymore.
	The word has been overused, like racist, where everything is racist, everything is sexist, and everyone has to point out everything about everything.
	All of the time?
	Yes.
	I didn't want to finish it off because it's like being held hostage.
	Thanks Anita But I'm really not looking forward to the actual Implications because if the Labour Party does Apply this being serious Now they are going to weaponise It against their political enemies aren't they That's what's going to happen.
	It's going to be just a way of persecuting people.
	It already is, on the basis of race and sex and blah blah blah.
	It's just because you've done it because I'm a woman aspect hasn't been fully implemented.
	And the thing is, I don't really talk about women that much in general in my political coverage.
	But even so, you know, they're going to find something.
	Well, take the example of Lawrence Fox.
	He would have just been charged with a crime there and then as well.
	That's what's going to happen.
	What's her face?
	Eva Santina or whatever.
	Not having sex with women is misogyny!
	For goodness sake.
	But that's actually their argument!
	Don't look at me like that.
	Well, I mean, incels do hate women, so there is, you know, a grain of truth.
	Some of them do, anyway.
	What if it's a voluntary celibacy as well?
	I just don't want to.
	I've just opted out of a raw deal.
	I mean, fair play to you if you do that.
	But yeah, the Labour Party is just going to use this to persecute people, and it's just the new strain of government persecution, and all hate crime should be illegal, along with government in general.
	Alright.
	After your anti-government tirade, Mr. Libertarian, I'm now going to make you endorse something.
	Oh no.
	It's not a hate crime, is it?
	So today...
	Poland strong!
	And I've been over Poland strong before.
	Spoken about how there's a lot of love for Poland in the world, and rightfully so.
	They're actually one of the few countries in Europe that's been, every single year, I suppose every five years just to make a proper curve, been getting significantly better.
	And, well, have now become quite the envy of Western Europe.
	Their growth rates in just quality of life, GDP per capita, blah blah blah.
	And the response from that has been a big old question because we were told we needed mass migration to have such things.
	They have none and yet they've got way better.
	It is also worth mentioning as well because people slag us off on the left for being so anti-immigration but the polls, you know, You do a good job.
	You know, you work harder than us.
	You're always nice to us.
	I've never had a bad interaction.
	In fact, there are some Polish people drinking lager on a bench outside of my apartment, and they're playing classical music.
	And I was just like, oh!
	You legends!
	Classing the place up!
	Oh, Poschutzky, I heard you speaking earlier!
	Yeah, they were drinking in public, but doing it in such a way where it actually elevated the neighborhood.
	But anyway, I'll start off with just promoting something because house prices in Poland are obviously better.
	A lot of Poles have not yet returned, but are now staying in Poland because, well, things are getting better than going over anywhere else in Europe.
	Can we move there?
	You can.
	Me and you, Callum.
	Let's go together.
	We could get a work visa or something, but I'm sure we can figure something out.
	So I thought I'd promote this house prices podcast that Dan did with these two developers about the UK situation, because it's a really good podcast.
	I watched it, I liked it.
	So that's, there you go.
	I'm not giving any more than that, because that's the truth.
	I just, I liked it.
	I think you might.
	There we are.
	So, moving on to Poland.
	Elections in two days.
	Oh, nice.
	Now, Polish elections, who gives a crap, would be the usual response you'd meet for a British person, because they don't care about our own elections, don't mind anyone else's.
	Rightfully so.
	But you can see here, in Poland, 2023 elections coming up, and I am hype, because Poland's future is something I'm weirdly invested in on the basis of, I really want them to do well, because they've done well following the ideological position of not being insane, and I'd quite like the ideological position of not being insane to come home, I'd quite like us to stop some of that non-insanity.
	And you can see it doing quite well in recent years.
	And this isn't to delve into Polish politics and tell you which party you should be voting for if you're a Pole or anything like that.
	Then more injustice would be a good start.
	Well, it's not my place.
	It's not my place at all.
	Foreign elections.
	You make your own mind up.
	But we can, as foreigners, sit in awe at the achievements you have.
	And even the left in the Slavic world is way better than our left.
	I spoke to my good friend in Serbia about this a lot, where he's like, yeah, here's our leftists.
	So then you meet them and they're like conservatives in this country.
	So they believe in some Marxist stuff, but also they're like, why would I import loads of Albanians?
	What are you, mental?
	Yeah, I think that they also have a good memory of the Soviet Union.
	Reality?
	Yes.
	Weird that.
	But you can see here, the party that's been in power, Law and Justice there.
	There are some other minor parties.
	The main opposition, I think, being these guys.
	They even have a Libertarian Conservative Party.
	I wish we had one of those in Britain.
	Which one are you looking at there?
	Confederation?
	Yes.
	We're going to get back to them.
	Are we?
	Good interesting boys.
	That's what I like to hear.
	Yeah.
	And I think I'll scroll down here.
	You can see the polls and that Law and Justice Party, the main right-wing one, you know, whatever.
	I don't want to get into Polish internal politics, but one thing they have done successfully has been, well, keep Poland standing.
	Whereas Western Europe, we have not been prioritizing keeping our own country standing.
	So I'm not surprised that they have at least... Keeping other countries standing instead, haven't we?
	And the main opposition here being the more EU orientated party.
	Naturally inclined, I kind of hate that because of the English.
	But I don't know anything about the details.
	But you can see this black line here at the bottom, that's Confederation and they've had a bit of a boost recently.
	It'll be interesting to see where they go because they started out, I think it was like 6%?
	Since the last election.
	And the reason I'm doing this segment and talking about some weird Polish elections is, oh boy, you're going to be interested when you find out about all of them, because they're funny, funny guys.
	So we'll start off with Confederation, shall we?
	The far-right coalition tips to be the kingmakers here.
	The Guardian, right?
	Of course, the Guardian being a leftist.
	Bedbugs.
	No way, I never knew that.
	Do you know they support bedbugs now?
	What?
	We did a segment the other day.
	It turns out that they wrote an article arguing that we need to live with the bugs.
	Oh, is this some sort of vegan nonsense, is it?
	That you can't kill the bed bugs?
	No, they hired a bed bug as a writer, and he started writing out about how you should leave blood lying around.
	I'm exaggerating, but sincerely, there was an article like, we should just live with the bugs instead of trying to exterminate them.
	I was like, what the hell is this?
	Anyway, so...
	It's like saying to someone, you should just live with cancer, you know?
	So the cancer-supporting, bedbug-supporting outlet in the West is very scared that if Confederation are able to get more power, they'll be the kingmakers in Poland.
	And thank Christ, because I don't support bedbugs.
	So you can see here, they write... I'll just leave the image up.
	Actually, I'll get the image of Krystal over here, because he's a nice guy, man.
	He's alright.
	There's a quote from them, the bedbugs.
	The bedbugs write, the big political battle in Sunday's Polish parliamentary election may be between the ruling Law and Justice party, PIS.
	That's the acronym.
	P-I-S, yeah.
	Yeah, but they're called PIS.
	If you say so.
	No, even like when you discuss them, you call them PIS.
	That's how actually you pronounce...
	There's some sort of reverse psychology where if they willingly adopt a name that sounds insulting, people will like them more.
	Well, it doesn't mean anything in Polish.
	I know that, yeah, but... I'm not being serious, Callum.
	No, but I do just kind of find it funny.
	Anyway, so the P.I.S.S.
	Party, they've been doing a good job, so vote P.I.S.S.
	if you want more of the same, I suppose.
	They're seeking a third term in office, you know, five more years of P.I.S.S.
	And the opposition, the Civic Platform, look at that.
	Their acronym is P.O., so they're P.I.S.S.
	What's this, the podcast to the 12 year olds?
	No, but come on, that is kind of weird.
	Anyway, so the Civic Platform, they're led by Donald Tusk.
	You remember him?
	Of course.
	From the EU years.
	The years of lead we lived through.
	The dark years.
	Oh wait.
	Yeah, things never get better for the UK.
	Anyway, he's the former Prime Minister and European Council President, so he's the euro pause over there.
	But with Paul suggesting that neither side will actually have the votes to form a government outright, the decisive say in who rules Poland for the next four years could lie in Confederation.
	So, this is Krzysztof over here, the chap pictured on screen here, and a bunch of other his friends.
	He's doing an Ayatollah thing.
	Oh no!
	Yeah, he's the Islamic side of the party.
	I don't think he'll like me saying that, actually.
	Sorry for insulting you.
	No, he's a very nice guy.
	We went for drinks with him when we were in Poland a while back, me and Karl, and it was just a laugh, frankly.
	And you know you can have a good time with someone politically, regardless of your differences or similarities, when they're just good fun.
	There is actually something to that, because you hang out with the left and they're never good fun.
	Yeah, rather than campaigning and having manifestos, you should just have a drink with your local representatives and whoever has the best pub banter gets voted in.
	It's better system than what we have.
	It genuinely is.
	So Confederation over here, they say they're an eccentric far-right coalition of nationalists, libertarians and monarchists.
	That's how the bedbugs refer to them.
	We'll check out the Wikipedia page, I suppose.
	There's Wikipedia, but what are you going to do?
	How do they phrase themselves?
	Pretty good.
	Just gonna say.
	You can see here, so it's interesting, is really how I should phrase it.
	You can see the ideology, Polish nationalism, right-wing populism, economic liberalism, and hard Euroskepticism.
	These all sound good to me.
	I mean, to be honest, yeah.
	I mean, there's ideological positions.
	I'm not threatened by any of that.
	That's for sure.
	And they've got various movements here, as you can see.
	So that's what the Confederation is, all these small movements.
	I mean, it'd be kind of interesting to see more of this in the West, because you have all these factions, you know, the English Democrats reform and UKIP and blah blah blah.
	We talk about this in the UK a lot.
	It'd be nice to see just Confederation set up and have a bunch of parties merge.
	I mean, you can see here, some of them are quite funny.
	The National Movement, so there we are, ultranationalism.
	New Hope, so the Libertarians, there you are.
	Confederation of the Polish Crown, they want the King back.
	They're very nice guys.
	The Party of Drivers.
	So they're literally a one-issue party with wanting to support people who drive cars.
	I respect that actually.
	That's just kind of cool.
	I don't care about the economy.
	I don't care about society.
	I just care about cars.
	I just want to drive my car.
	There's the grill party.
	Polish Jeremy Clarkson runs that party.
	Yeah, and then you've got the Union of Christian Families.
	All right, whatever.
	And then National League at the bottom there.
	So just Polish nationalists.
	I don't know why the Libertarian Party in Poland have decided to take their name from a Star Wars film.
	Have they?
	New Hope?
	Yeah.
	They might just do it because they think it's funny.
	They're that kind of cool guys, they just engage in culture.
	It's not weird.
	They engage in culture, is that... Well, it's high praise for a politician.
	Yeah, the standards are so low these days.
	But that's how they describe themselves, or at least how they describe them on Wikipedia.
	And I thought I'd go to the Times to get their perspective on it, because as much as I love the BegBug outlet, they're terrible.
	You can see here, angry young men give far-right upstarts a shot at power.
	That's how they phrase it.
	That's a nice loaded headline, isn't it?
	Yeah, they go on to just load the headlines more.
	Confederation once called for a register of gay people, yet they've rebranded the party and has now become hugely popular with male voters under 30.
	A lot of Grindr voters, I suppose.
	I mean, if we were to apply that sort of rhetoric to American politics, say, we could say, angry childless women destroy economy or something like that.
	Yeah, that's true.
	It'd be true, yeah.
	Write it.
	Yeah, what am I doing here?
	I need to get writing.
	I do love the idea though, there's like, we want to register a gaper, when there literally is just Grindr.
	That's a whole other conversation.
	So we'll keep Krzysztof on screen, I suppose, because, you know, he's better eye candy than a block of text.
	Well, I read the block of text, because it's interesting.
	So they say here, they're interviewing a local Polish man, and local Polish man has this to say, quote, I like that they tell it like it is, rather than how it should be, said Zygmunt Zyblotsky.
	27.
	Zygmunt Zyblotsky.
	That's my attempt.
	Grzegorz Przedsiębiorczukiewicz is now the name of all future people in the story.
	So, he was at a rally at Confederation, and he says that they know what normal people want.
	Reiner.
	No.
	Shouldn't go with that joke.
	Quote, we shouldn't be forced to do anything we don't want to do, he added.
	Whoa, what a radical.
	He's in southern Poland.
	He says, I don't want to be forced to drive electric cars.
	Yeah.
	My children shouldn't be exposed to mandatory LGBI programs in school.
	I don't know, their acronym is weird for some reason.
	They get LG, sorry, LGTBI.
	LGTBI?
	Yeah, I don't know what that's about.
	Anyway, he says, it doesn't matter if someone's gay, just don't force it on me.
	Seems fair enough.
	Don't have to download Grindr.
	Seems like a world of one element.
	So lots of Tory MPs.
	Mandatory downloads of Grindr on all Samsung devices!
	That's the Tory party's new pledge.
	Some surveys have found that up to 50% of men under the age of 40 plan on voting for Confederation.
	Now that's super unique in all of politics, I think.
	That you've got all of the men who are all voting for one party.
	Yeah!
	I mean, the only other time we found this was that South Korean president who literally just ran on the campaign of, like, women.
	Eh.
	And he won.
	So they say here 46% of those under the age of 21 are also voting for Confederation.
	So overwhelmingly young men, you know, 40 and even of the 20 year olds, they're not all like split leftists like it is here.
	Instead, overwhelmingly men are just like, yeah.
	based bone confederation why's that i'll find out uh they also say in this article they want to write the edgy things they've done in the past so obviously smear them i presume from the times they write here they're notorious for extreme antics of its politicians who have been in the past uh making nazi salutes in the european parliament yeah because i'm sure the polls are big fans of them yeah it was to make a point about the eu they called for a national register of gay
	Again, they don't explain what that is, so until I've given further evidence, because they don't tell me for some weird reason.
	I mean, there's also no context for why the register existed in the first place.
	It could have been like, we're going to give you some free stuff.
	You know, a new monkey box vaccine or something.
	I'm just going to assume it's literally Grindr until someone tells me what that is, because I'm always skeptical when you read in the media like, oh, this evil far-right party, they wanted this.
	And you go, why?
	And the paper goes, don't ask.
	It's just meant to be self-evidently bad and therefore don't ask questions.
	They were arguing for Grindr being available.
	They also argued that the gay people should be kept away from children and argued that women should be kept on a chain in the kitchen.
	I'm sure that's a literal statement of their opinion and not out of context.
	I mean, again, when you have overwhelmingly all of the young men in the country getting together in one party, I feel like they're going to come up with some funny jokes.
	It's basically going to be like a giant locker room, like Poland's biggest locker room, where they're just having a laugh.
	Because you've got PiS over there.
	I mean, PiS are doing their thing like the normal right-wing party.
	Still taking me by surprise.
	They're still called PiS.
	But Confederation are the more funny ones, that's why I'm focusing on them.
	But both of these parties are apparently what is going to be making up the Polish Parliament in, well, three days.
	That's if Confederation won a coalition.
	If not, PiS will just be in charge.
	There we are.
	They also go on to argue some other things they've done.
	One of their leaders once called for a five-point plan, like Stalin.
	He came out and said he wants a Poland without Jews, gays, abortion, tax or the European Union, which is a weird list.
	Yeah, that's quite a smorgasbord, isn't it?
	Again, they don't go on to explain what any of that means, so I'm not trusting, I'll be honest.
	They go on to say, it now trades heavily on a blend of nationalism, small government, libertarianism and Brussels bashing Euroscepticism.
	So that's the past.
	Sign me up.
	Yeah, that's my politics in a nutshell.
	If you actually, I mean, let's say they were terrible and now they've reformed.
	Okay, that's a good advert.
	It'll also try to capitalize on the current in Polish society situation, which is that they're increasingly unsure about supporting Ukraine.
	Okay, well, you know, we'll help Ukraine and everything else, but I'm not literally giving you all my clothes.
	I can't have everything.
	So they end this off with a quote.
	That's Krzysztof Orzech over there saying all of that.
	values defense, civic freedom, especially participating in the free market, less regulation, and defense of the sovereignty of Poland.
	That's Christoph Olszak over there saying all of that.
	He's the confederation's leader at this point.
	He says, we are not a party that uses anti-Semitic rhetoric to draw in voters.
	So that's all bunk, which I'm inclined to believe him, to be honest.
	So I remember when I spoke to him as well, he would say something that's really weird.
	And then he would be like, wait, what do you mean exactly?
	And he would explain, he'd be like, oh, that's perfectly normal.
	So they were...
	The situation they were dealing with was kind of insane at one point, he was telling us about.
	So what would happen is some Jews who lived in Poland who escaped the Holocaust and made it to the United States, they die.
	And then for some weird reason, because of legal BS, Jewish organizations who had nothing to do with the dead person tried to start claiming property rights over property that that person owned in Poland before the Holocaust.
	Because of course, the whole situation was a mess and then communism happened.
	It's just a whole mess of who owns what, to that end.
	But it's okay when someone's family comes to you and talks about this, but a Jewish group that had nothing to do with the deceased person, we're just like, yeah, that belongs to us.
	So of course the Polish government would just like go to hell?
	Yeah, it's just an opportunity for them to get free gibs, isn't it?
	Yeah, I mean if I start claiming property for dead Anglos across the world, that's just me stealing.
	That's not me helping anyone.
	Bad idea though, is it?
	Yeah, I claim that pensioner's nice sort of mansion in Spain.
	I'll have that.
	That's mine.
	But when you explain that without any of the context it sounds a bit mad.
	Anyway, but Kristoff over there, he's leading it.
	That's them.
	And they're going to be the kingmakers in three days, apparently, if the polls are to be believed.
	They're only going up, which is certainly interesting, to say the least.
	Did you say the polls or the poles?
	Poles.
	I didn't clear it up.
	Poles in the polls.
	Right.
	Fair enough.
	I give up.
	Or the other one.
	Second party.
	This is really difficult to keep my composure.
	The 12-year-old in my head, every time you say that.
	The number two party.
	Anyway, but for people who want to find out more in their own words, we have spoken to Cordman Mickey before.
	He's a prominent member of Confederation.
	I mean, I have had some good fun with him, of course.
	There's that.
	I mean, I did love the... Sorry, before we get to that, there's this thumbnail.
	I mean, this is a joke.
	He didn't actually say that, but he's just a funny guy.
	We were interviewing him and he brought up the Confederate flag.
	Before we'd set up.
	Hi everyone, I'm interviewing... I'm in Poland for the, uh... You can see, like, Karl's a little bit uneasy.
	Because we talked to him, and he was like, we were like, why do you have a confederate flag?
	And he's like, oh, his name is Confederation.
	It's funny.
	And Karl was like, you know, that's kind of a bad thing in the United States.
	And he was like, what?
	Because he told him that it's like the Nazi party.
	And he's just like, Nazis?
	No.
	But no, interesting guy.
	Very interesting to say the least.
	I spoiled it a little bit.
	A man who likes a good meme.
	Message to the editor, censor out the anus here.
	That's probably not allowed on YouTube.
	Although nude yoga's on YouTube, I don't know how that's allowed.
	YouTube is controlled by Silicon Valley and they've probably got some sort of weird new age justification.
	Is that the internet has destroyed my ability to trust anything?
	Is that an actual woman or is that a man dressed as a woman?
	I suppose we'll never know.
	I presume it's a woman.
	Anyway, but Corbyn likes to engage in the culture as well.
	I mean, this is what I mean by the interesting aspect of Confederation.
	I mean, agree or disagree with their policy, it's a whole other issue.
	I'm not getting into Polish politics.
	But the way they do politics is certainly interesting from an outside perspective because they just, they have fun.
	And I think that probably comes from the demographics, let's not lie.
	There's a bit of like, you know, just young men being prats about all of this.
	I mean, I know nothing about having fun talking about politics.
	What is this?
	But when you become an old man, you don't stop being a prat.
	Cordova Mickey.
	And I mean, that's a good thing, by the way.
	Poles who are watching this.
	It's an endorsement.
	It's a term of endearment.
	Because Cordova Mickey did a thing a while back that I've been struggling to find.
	For some reason it was deleted.
	I think I found out once I translated the lyrics.
	I can see the thumbnail and I can see a few reasons why it might be deleted.
	I can't.
	So, what we're going to do is we're going to play a portion.
	I've added some subtitles.
	Sadly, I can't play the whole thing because he goes on to talk about stuff that I'll say after the stream ends.
	I'll tell you.
	Okay.
	I can't say it on YouTube.
	If you're on the audience, too bad.
	Yeah, you have to go to LowScenes.com to find out what he was talking about.
	Fully.
	Or go and read the translation, I suppose.
	We'll endorse this.
	Yes, for some reason music videos are a thing in Polish politics and Cora Miky decided to do one.
	It's really looking out your window.
	I didn't realise it was next to a road as well.
	Yeah.
	Mum, the Libertarian next door's got a gun.
	I'm a terrible colleague of Minkowski.
	I'm going to be a politician.
	I'm going to be an eyewitness.
	I'm going to be the head of the Socialists.
	I'm going to be in charge of the last Democrat.
	I'm a terrible colleague of Minkowski.
	I'm going to be a politician.
	I'm going to be an eyewitness.
	I'm going to be in charge of the last Democrat.
	I'm a terrible colleague of Minkowski.
	I'm going to be an eyewitness.
	I'm going to be an So he's challenging all his colleagues to forcefully engage in the challenger.
	I would immediately vote for anyone who waves around guns and swords.
	I think that that is just a given.
	No matter the context, no matter the policies, that's an immediate vote in my mind.
	He made a campaign promise to put every Democrat behind bars.
	And he means that in the case of people who believe in democracy, I presume.
	Because there are Democrats in Poland.
	These Monarchists, I believe, as well.
	So there we are.
	But anyway, I mean, if you're political candidates, I suppose, is that muted?
	I can barely tell.
	Not anymore.
	It is now.
	I'll just play it so you can see the video as well.
	I mean, if this was your politician, I'm just saying politics is better in Poland.
	The wild, wild east is more fun.
	And good luck to them all in the elections.
	And Poland, indeed, strong.
	Alright, I'll tell you what he said.
	Yes.
	Stop this bit.
	So, um, the bit he's saying in the middle here, there's a famous rhyme, I suppose, chant about the socialist government and the socialists.
	He's literally chanting, the socialists will hang from the trees like leaves.
	And again, this is a campaign video.
	So there we are.
	Can you imagine Rishi Sunak tweeting that?
	I mean, it would be me voting Tory immediately.
	He came out with that kind of rhetoric.
	It's not even considered a call to violence, though.
	It's more of a cultural thing, because the commies oppressed us for decades.
	So yeah, we're on the case of beats the Bolshevik in any way you can.
	The reassembly of my M1 Grand was probably the most satisfying step in the maintenance process.
	That's an exclusive here at LotusEars.com.
	Well done, you elite people, for watching us on the website rather than on that disgusting platform, YouTube.
	I suppose we will go to the video comments.
	The reassembly of my M1 Grand was probably the most satisfying step in the maintenance process.
	I followed the tutorials that I found on YouTube, and it was quite simple, and I had to fiddle a little bit with a couple of the parts that didn't want to go in right away.
	But still, overall it was a really fun process to strip down the gun, clean it, and grease it and reassemble it.
	Looks like it's in excellent condition.
	And I love videos like this, just... There's something in the male brain where things that are disassembled are being reassembled, or disassembled, then reassembled.
	It just scratches an itch, doesn't it?
	It does indeed.
	All you've got to say.
	What Carlos keeps saying about this is that I really like these Facebook videos where they're doing blah blah blah and he explains it.
	And then the other day I found that Hamas video where they were showing you how to make rockets out of water pipes.
	And I was like, you'll like this.
	You didn't send that to me, Callum.
	Your friendly neighborhood libertarian loves that sort of thing.
	Anyway.
	If you're the government watching, that was a joke.
	Yeah.
	Hey, Lewis Eaters.
	Just thought I'd show you some footage from a drone.
	I was away for work.
	Anyway.
	You cleared my last video, well my first ever video, over the blackest black pill ever.
	Christ almighty I was about.
	That was all good fun though.
	Happy birthday Dan.
	See ya's.
	Bye.
	Are you living with birds?
	Yeah I could hear those birds in the background quite clearly.
	But no that It looks lovely there as well, doesn't it?
	It does indeed.
	It's unspoilt.
	Well, except for the parts that are spoilt.
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, sponsored.
	There we are.
	By our sponsors.
	There they are.
	We'll move on to the written comments.
	People make it all worthwhile.
	I wonder if there's going to be any comments about the leaves now.
	I imagine there probably will be.
	That video got removed from YouTube and I'm pretty sure it's because of when YouTube finally translated the snake language that is Poland into English.
	Don't call it snake language.
	They know.
	They know.
	There's loads of jokes in the Slavic world where it's like, man falls asleep on keyboard, wakes up and finds all the poles in the chat agree with him.
	Snake language makes it sound like, you know, the serpent in the Garden of Eden was whispering in Polish.
	Eat the fruit.
	I think the snake in the Garden of Eden probably was Polish, in my mind.
	It's because of the Z's, the S's and the P's, so being overused in the Polish language.
	I've never heard a snake make a P sound.
	Snakes don't have lips.
	You need lips to do...
	I'm sure this is delightful for any headphone users.
	This is good content, isn't it?
	Local men pretend to be snakes!
	All right, sorry.
	You're the ones who listen to us talk about politics.
	Someone paid to have us read out their comments.
	Maybe we should do that instead.
	Yeah.
	Baravon Warhawk says, it's kind of weird that your leaders actively refuse to deport people who have terrorized you for years, but as soon as it affects Israel and the Jews, suddenly they care about the effects of mass immigration.
	Makes you think, doesn't it?
	Well, yeah, I think it's the...
	The capture of, well, progressive politics and its consequences.
	And the other problems the West has, we're talking about this issue for some stupid reason, don't get me wrong, I'm not blind to the weirdness that it is that we have to wait for the conflict in Israel, that suddenly we can talk about mass immigration.
	War of our own country is not enough.
	Take it!
	Just take it!
	I'm so tired and this place is so damaged at this point.
	Who cares what the reason is?
	When I mentioned I see so many right-wing activists on Twitter right now, especially British ones, their response to this is to obsess over Israel-Palestine and the conflict and what's true and what image is true and what stories are true.
	Oh God, what do you care?
	Nobody cares!
	This is an issue that if you're involved you can be caring about, but it's that situation of like, oh interesting, I feel terrible for anyone dying and everything else.
	But our main source of saving ourselves is not solving peace between Israel and Palestine.
	That doesn't change our situation in the slightest.
	If you're arguing about changing our situation, Well that's this.
	This is what we can do to actively help ourselves and if we can do that we can actively help the rest of the world.
	We can't help the rest of the world until we help ourselves and that's the truth of it.
	I think a lot of the right-wing attention is also not really helping anything in that You know, it's a sort of fog of war situation, that's why I've not said anything about anything to do with it.
	Not only because I don't really know that much about it, but also because I know enough about war to not have any opinions about it.
	What contribution can you even make?
	Yeah, well, I feel like if you're a journalist, you've got to dedicate yourself full-time to a conflict, as in, you know, you're doing the entirety of your full-time job understanding what is actually going on the ground to cut through All of the BS, and actually understand stuff.
	And even then, there's no guarantee of it.
	And so, there's a lot of work just to be shouted at by people online.
	I had a similar thing with the Russian-Ukraine conflict, and it's basically any other conflict.
	Although, no one cares about other ones.
	It's only the ones that blow up.
	Regime-approved conflicts, yeah.
	I suppose so.
	It's the ones the media obsess over.
	That's really what happens.
	Occasionally, you find yourself really interested in the conflict, and you think, I can't change anything.
	What am I doing?
	Like, my concern is how can I use this to help my homelands get better?
	If there's a way.
	If there isn't, then, well, okay, it's terrible and you can donate to a cause to try and help people if you want.
	Or go there and film it and try and learn about the world or something.
	But other than that, I mean, it's just kind of weird.
	Some of these activists I've seen.
	But I know they're not going to do anything.
	So I don't know why they're spending their time arguing endlessly about this.
	If you're Ben Shapiro, at least you've got a connection, you know?
	Yeah.
	You're some Anglo-Irish guy.
	I don't think I'd even met a Jewish person until I was about 17.
	I mean, I grew up in Devon, so it's very isolated.
	Kevin Fox says, yeah, well, if the medical schools had not limited UK applications in favour of high-paying foreign students, you might have some doctors.
	They also need to reinstate the SEND role.
	That would increase nursing numbers because applicants wouldn't need to get a nursing degree before they can work, go back to the old system where nurse training is done in hospitals, hands-on with patients rather than a lecture hall.
	That all sounds relatively good.
	Matt Thompson says the government makes ridiculously contrived expansive plans for deportations and then funds NGOs to fight these plans in court.
	It's all a show.
	Yeah, they have.
	I mean, this is what we've been living under for the last 20 years.
	This joke of a situation.
	It's frankly just cruel.
	I mean, the grooming gang case is just the worst one, in my opinion, where you're running into your foreign rapist who the government promised to deport.
	There's all the murders, people being assaulted, any other crimes.
	I mean, with the grooming gangs, I think, you know, the only justice for it should be they're going to be publicly hung and also... Yeah, I agree with the death penalty, but if we're not going to do that, then... Yeah, and also the victim gets to be the one that pulls the lever, you know, give them a bit of agency back.
	Yeah.
	Paramon Warhawk says the French crackdown just infuriates me as it shows the European leaders has the power to get rid of Muslims anytime they wanted but instead allowed them to groom children, stab babies and did nothing.
	Yeah, I mean, this is the thing.
	All of a sudden, Israel-Palestine, now we can act.
	Eh?
	Okay, fine, whatever.
	We've always been able to do stuff.
	I don't have time to sit here and be like, oh, I don't know why they're doing this now.
	You're right.
	Sorry, I'm trying not to interrupt you.
	That's alright.
	Very passionate about this one.
	X, Y, and Z. Now, if only they add domestic sympathizers to the deportation order.
	Well, they are a criminal organization, the way the UK law works.
	If you show moral support for Hamas, you're going to prison.
	You're guilty of the terrorism act.
	So yeah, deportation.
	Sorry, I cut you off there.
	Sorry.
	I'm dumb.
	You're being very polite.
	Oh no, I did it again!
	We're being too bloody British!
	Shut up!
	If we were to pull the anti-Semites, we'd probably have to exile most of the Labour Party too.
	Wait, what the hell are we waiting for?
	Let's go!
	So yeah, I agree Omar.
	Matt Thompson says, when I was in China, this state felt ever-present.
	States have the power unimaginable to us in the West.
	If the UK government wanted to support anyone, they could, they simply don't want to.
	Yeah, there's also the difference between now British government and World War II British government.
	Man, if the British government wants to really get stuff done, they can.
	I mean, as legally as we've been over constitutionally, nothing's stopping them.
	It's all political will.
	And apparently, your own children getting raped is not something that spurs political will in the UK.
	But Israelis and Palestinians fighting each other, that's something that gets political will from the UK government.
	I think a lot of the UK public has an oppression fetish.
	That's the only way they can get off.
	It's so weird.
	It's like, you know, there are things that can be tangibly fixed relatively easy.
	Do you care about it?
	There is a definite strain of British culture where people, some people, perpetually want to be victims and can never change anything.
	You know, woe is me.
	Well, like the elephant in the room in this whole discourse is that victimhood is a mindset.
	You know, someone can attack you, assault you, try and, you know, stab you.
	And as long as you put up a fight and, you know, you have a spine, you don't have to see yourself as a victim of something.
	But the correct way to be a human is to be like, okay, these dangers exist.
	How do I mitigate them, change them, or eliminate them?
	Not to sit there and be like, oh god, it's terrible, isn't it?
	Yeah, a load of kids have been raped.
	Oh, it's terrible, isn't it?
	And then just the cycle continues.
	If only there was something we could do about it, like stopping it.
	It's Hamas that you're supporting because nothing has happened in the West Bank.
	You're literally just supporting Hamas.
	times have banned political speech.
	They're using the same powers.
	They've used to ban COVID protests.
	It's just as disgusting to support their use.
	Ban actual crimes, not thought crimes.
	You can make an argument, don't get me wrong, but the French situation, I believe their argument is that it's Hamas that you're supporting because nothing has happened in the West Bank.
	You're literally just supporting Hamas.
	Therefore, if you are out supporting these instances, you are just supporting Hamas.
	Hamas is a terrorist group.
	The Terrorism Act is the case in most Western countries and the French included, and are I don't know why I keep putting that in my ear, I'm not listening to anything.
	I wonder if we could play some classical music whilst we do this.
	Elevate the tone?
	I don't think so, I'd just listen to the music and then not talk to you.
	No, no, but I mean like, you know when we're sat here reading?
	That might be fun, let's try that.
	If this fails, oh well.
	Alright then, I've taken off my earphones.
	Because we always have these things in our ears and it always feels kind of stupid anyway.
	I take mine out at the soonest opportunity.
	I would just like softly play in the background, nice and low, nice and low.
	And then we can just see if this makes life better.
	Take the Polish day drinking approach.
	Yeah, we're not going to play the Polish National Anthem because it's a bit underwhelming.
	Oh no, don't say that.
	I guess listen to the stream, John, and adjust it so it's slightly in the background, never too loud.
	I think that's the best way.
	But it sounds good now.
	I can't hear anything.
	What does the chat think?
	Is this making life better?
	That's why I can't hear anything.
	Oh, you muppet.
	I can hear it, so it's working.
	Someone's requesting pomp and circumstance.
	Maybe another time.
	We'll stick with this for now.
	So I think that's worked.
	Anyway.
	Moving on.
	Charles Francis Mont... Oh god, whatever.
	I'm not reading all that.
	I think that the Egyptians aren't allowed Palestinians to cross their border because they know the Israelis won't let them return, and nor would I. Yeah, I am a bit sick of the rhetoric.
	I mean, I can see the Palestinians respect them.
	I can make that argument.
	It's possible.
	But I am sick of this one point where everyone on the Palestinian side keeps calling it an open-air prison that the Israelis have done.
	It's like, you know one of the borders is Egypt.
	You know that.
	But there's no way you don't know that.
	In which case, there's another jailer here.
	It's not just the Israelis, if it's a prison.
	Anyway, X, Y, and Z says, I believe back in the 70s, the issue in France was the Red Brigade.
	Still commie aligned, so... You were right to bring that up.
	Le French Bedbug.
	They're everywhere, man.
	Bedbugs are in the newspapers.
	They're in the walls, man.
	Game over, man.
	There's been a stabbing of peace in north of France today.
	Yep, I heard about that.
	Likely due to a bunch of resentment by an ex-student doing the act against his own school, as well as the Hamas call for jihad.
	A handful of other schools have been targeted by individuals in the same town.
	I mean... The music's fitting, isn't it?
	I can't hear it, because I unplugged my earpiece and couldn't figure where it plugs back in again, so... The cable, you mutt.
	I understand how cables work.
	That one.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You plugged it back in and it didn't work?
	No, I can't find... Oh...
	I don't know where the thing that it plugs into goes.
	It's one of the black cables on the ground.
	There's about 50 of them.
	Good luck.
	It's like finding a needle in a haystack down here.
	That's going to be cut out of context, isn't it?
	Oh, for goodness sake.
	And on that, let's move on to your situation.
	You can go ahead.
	Sure.
	Let's try and fix the classical music problem.
	Thank you, Jon.
	So, we have a dad joke of the day for the start of my segment, which is Kevin Fox.
	Lads can... Jon's going full stealth here as well.
	Going above and beyond, but thank you.
	No gay jokes, come on.
	Getting special treatment.
	Oh, whoop.
	But yeah, anyway, Kevin Fox.
	I was sitting on it.
	It's my fat arse, that's the problem.
	Um, but anyway.
	Thank you!
	I feel like I need classical music to read the dad jokes.
	That's tech support you could ask for.
	Literally comes with it as well.
	It has a happy ending and everything.
	Oh no!
	You told me not to do something, Callum.
	You know what I'm like.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Ah, that's nice.
	So it says, um, lads, can I plug some stuff I'm selling?
	A PC, a laptop, full set of Encyclopedia Britannica, Webster Dictionary, Webster Thesaurus.
	I've just got married and no longer need them because apparently my wife knows everything.
	Only kidding.
	Been there, done that.
	Never again.
	I enjoyed that.
	Well done, Kevin Fox.
	And, uh, sorry about all of that.
	And Omar Awad says, in a non-clown world the Met Police are unironically racist, misogynistic and homophobic.
	They've literally been successfully sued for discrimination against white men.
	They aren't exactly cracking down on grooming gangs and also clearly fall on the trans side of what a woman debate is.
	Pretty misogynistic if you ask me.
	As for homophobic, I wonder how many diverse individuals they've managed to employ.
	I think they are really trying, but I think met officers of peace aren't that common.
	I think there are some, aren't there, but not nearly as many as... I think there's a disproportionate amount less than there is in the City of London proper.
	Did you see the white Muslim police officer that went viral?
	No.
	There's this English guy who's joined the Met Police and it's an advert in which he's talking to the camera about how he's become a Muslim and how great it is and how he means he can interact with the local community much better.
	Slaps women.
	There's a person drinking a beer and he punches them in the face.
	But it's a video from the Met Police.
	So the Met Police are basically saying to their own officers, you should convert.
	You'd be a better police officer.
	It's just creepy.
	It's very weird, isn't it?
	Our deity Sadiq Khan, he's told us, he's said, you must become Muslim because it allows you to persecute better.
	Go out there, do chaos.
	Don't look at me so confused, you know what I mean.
	But anyway, Alex Ogle says, I love Islam.
	The statistic of two-thirds of women being sexually harassed is true, but disingenuously stated.
	Years ago, there was a study in Australia that found up to 80% of women had been sexually harassed.
	I had the sense to download the report and read it.
	80% of women who worked in media claimed to have been sexually harassed.
	The average for the workforce was near a 40%.
	Well, 40% is too high.
	Screech feminists, yes, but the question was actually whether women felt they had been sexually harassed.
	I could propose and enact policy on sexual harassment.
	It cannot be based on the feeling of sexual harassment.
	Yeah, there has to be some sort of objective metric because wasn't there the thing in London as well that I should have included in the segment where staring at someone in the tube is sexual harassment?
	Yeah, I believe so.
	So just making eye contact in London is a tantamount to rape.
	I mean, that's the most London thing I've ever heard.
	I mean, outside of London, for any Londoners watching, the rest of the country does have a plethora of stereotypes about how unfriendly you are, and how inhuman you behave in your weird insect city.
	I know Bow and Connor aren't going to like me calling it that.
	But cities are cities, they're weird places.
	Yeah, I'm not a fan.
	I think it was a mistake, urbanisation.
	Yeah, same.
	As in living in high density, not necessarily, you know, having all of the industrial centres in a concentrated place.
	But, um, yeah.
	I suppose it's down to your own discretion.
	So, a man who thinks about the Roman Empire, so, a man speaking for all men, ever, If Labour comes into power, businesses and companies are going to fire all male staff to get rid of the possibility of sexual harassment.
	It'll be hilarious when the power grid fails, the streets get filled with garbage, becoming the next Paris, building and construction projects never get done and the economy collapses as nothing is moved out of warehouses or goods being stopped.
	Yeah, women forget that men do make the world go round.
	We do all the stuff that you don't want to do because it isn't high status but pays well.
	Like, we don't see you repairing deep-sea oil rigs, we don't see you doing deep-sea fishing, we don't see you, um, flying high-speed jets, or being pilots, or doing things that are potentially dangerous or responsible for lots of people's lives.
	I don't hear the music anymore, Callum.
	No, it's not just me then?
	No.
	I don't know if it's still playing for you, Callum.
	It's, like, dead fast.
	Hey, either way, if it's that far, at least the audience will be enjoying it.
	It's a bed bug in the system.
	Paul Neubauer, free speech is not a right among other rights.
	It is the predicate of all rights.
	It is the predicate of a functioning psyche.
	It is the predicate of a society that can maintain its integrity and its adaptive flexibility simultaneously.
	To say that is no different than saying that thought is the bedrock of Um, adaptation?
	Um, I have freedom of speech so that I can think.
	Jordan Peterson!
	Oh right, that was a Peterson quote, was it?
	I wondered why it was so wordy.
	I'll do one more and then you can read the final Polish second if you want.
	George Happ with concepts like stare rape and sexist... oh he mentioned it and I went on to mention it myself and air conditioning any act that a woman deems uncomfortable will be considered a hate crime giving the government the power to remove anyone who is a dissident.
	Like, you go to prison, oh, what are you in for?
	Oh, I had the air conditioning on too cold.
	But normally, in the office, I'm the first person to complain about that.
	One, because I sit right next to the air conditioner, and two, I get cold easily.
	Deep down, in my soul, I am a woman, and therefore I cannot be persecuted by this hate crime legislation.
	Even if you completely avoid women, you are not safe in doing so, because it's also misogyny.
	Feminism is the cancer that will destroy Western civilization.
	I don't disagree.
	Right, Callum, let's enlighten ourselves with some Polish stuff.
	I really want to hear the music, because apparently it's good.
	Callum, we are live, we do have an obligation to the audience to read it.
	Alright, fine, but they're all fascinated with it too in the chat.
	Some of them are like, it's great, some of them, you know, there's one or two guys who are just like, turn that off!
	Do you know that they play classical music in McDonald's to get rid of the riff-raff?
	But then that's my favourite time to go in there.
	Like, oh, it's Josh Hour.
	Yes, they're playing nice music.
	Oh look, they're stuffy and stuck up like me and complain about the poor.
	I put on my top hat and monocle and go in there.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so I'm Poland Strong.
	Severian Knox.
	Yeah, there we are.
	He says, proper pronunciation of piss in Polish sounds like peace in English.
	Yeah, because they have an accent.
	Peace.
	Peace.
	Yeah, I guess it's just piss again.
	Sophie Lev says, well Callum, you convinced me I'm going to vacation in Poland.
	I'm not even joking.
	I brought my trip yesterday and yeah, you guys were my inspiration.
	I'm going to a Christmas market in Poland in the last week of November.
	I missed out on something there, if you've booked it.
	But next year, next year we'll do it then.
	So then, I'll tell everyone, November the 11th in Warsaw, there's a huge march, Poland Independence Day.
	It's beautiful.
	Just Google it if you haven't seen it.
	Something you should definitely see in your life once.
	And it's right there on our doorstep.
	You know, don't even have to go to an area where you might get killed.
	Even better, yeah.
	Omar Awad says, Polish politics seems to be the result of having candidates and parties that are invested in and proud of their country.
	Wish we knew what that looked like.
	I'd 100% vote for piss poo over the Tories or Labour.
	So Jakub Bagdorf says, I'm Polish.
	Bogdanoff, yeah.
	Is that the meme name?
	I'm sure it is, yeah, it's the two French guys, but also, I imagine, an actual surname.
	Ah, there we go, that's why I couldn't hear the music.
	Dumbass, I had the fucking thing turned off.
	I wanna hear the music.
	I'm cheating.
	I'm unplugged now.
	Well, we have the bug on the thing, but... No.
	Whatever, anyway, you've got to experiment with the formula to advance the show.
	Yes.
	Maybe the music works, maybe it doesn't.
	Alright, whatever, whole other thing, leave your comments.
	Next we're going to play freeform jazz.
	Back to Jakob.
	So Jakob says he's voting Confederation on Sunday.
	The thing about the Register of the Gays, it's a complete refabrication of a leftist smear merchant talking about S. Sorry, that's a name actually.
	What?
	Can't read that.
	Polish name, New Hope.
	Oh, New Hope.
	Boromir Mensin.
	So it's a fabrication talking about them of words out of context.
	I think.
	Don't remember exactly how that came about to be Confederation's position on civic marriage.
	Yeah, so it's just a smear.
	So thank you, Jakob, because that's stupid.
	So someone says in here, has anyone had any feedback?
	Pass it on.
	Someone said, communist style music when Callum reads comments.
	Ooh, should I have a recommendation?
	I mean, you listened to it enough already, are you sure any more is not going to tip you over the edge?
	You're going to come in in a Soviet uniform and kill us all or something?
	Let's do Katyusha.
	So if you could type in Katyusha.
	I'll type a rough spelling to you, I can never remember it.
	Something like that, Jon.
	It's a very famous communist song.
	If we could have like a classical Katyusha, Hearts of Iron 4 version would be good, actually.
	Oh!
	Hoy 4.
	I might actually recognize it if I had a working earpiece.
	Yeah, so if we go up to the search and then...
	I think that might work.
	And we'll end on that, I suppose.
	And see what people's opinions are on music.
	So, there we are.
	You, sir.
	Do you like music?
	Yeah, basically.
	I suppose we'll turn it down a bit because that one's a bit loud as well.
	Oh, John's turned it all the way up.
	Enjoy!
	So you might want to turn that down.
	So, Le French Keeper of Order says Poland is doing better because it receives billions every year from France and Germany as well as the social dumping they do on the Western EU countries.
	Yes, they do, but that's our fault.
	Why are we accepting that?
	Sorry.
	Taking over transport and other markets because they do not have to follow the same regulations we do.
	They do well precisely because of EU policies.
	This is only temporary though, as the EU is imposing increasingly more policies and regulations on everyone.
	I mean, that is true.
	I've spoken before about how the poll is raping the krauts wallet, but none of us care because it's just like... Reparations.
	Yeah, I'd do it too if I could.
	I mean, they used to be taking loads of money from us.
	We were a massive net contributor to the EU.
	And then we left.
	When I don't know at what point Poland becomes a contributor, I mean at that point they should just... Thanos snap out of there.
	Government should be run like a business anyway.
	Why would you just give money away for free?
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	What do people think?
	Tetris music?
	I don't like Tetris music, that's just an insult.
	Serbian Rohrquime songs next time.
	We should listen to Led Zeppelin before it's banned.
	That's what we should do.
	Yeah.
	Someone says, I'm looking forward to the piss confederation government, even if it's just for the name alone.
	So, there we are.
	Leave your thoughts about the music.
	Maybe that's an addition to the show.
	Maybe it's worse.
	Let us know.
	Otherwise, I look forward to the piss confederation.
