Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for some day.
I've lost track of when we're meant to be doing this.
I'm joined by Dan.
Hello!
And this is a pre-record because we're not in for the Christmas week, so... Family and goodwill and all that.
Yeah, we're also ill, so sorry if there's... Well, actually, I'm alright.
No, you're not.
I'm almost alright.
No, you're not.
You did this to us.
No, I take no responsibility.
Man comes back from holiday, spluttering and sneezing, and within a week the whole office is fluttering and sneezing.
Stoic, positive mental attitude, that's what you need in these situations.
Just couldn't bear it.
Anyway, Hillary Clinton, power through, that's what you need.
I hope you've had a good Christmas, I hope you're not ill, and I hope you're well, or if this isn't After Christmas?
I hope Christmas goes well, whatever.
We would be introducing Carl as well, but... Yeah, we have some Lemsip standing in for him.
Yes.
He's sick, he's not here.
Yes.
That's why.
Some bastard infected him.
Yeah, who knows who.
But anyway, we're doing like a quarterly roundup thing, so we're gonna do the final quarter of the year.
Yes.
Let's begin.
We start in October, I believe.
Well, I've got October, so cast your mind back to then.
Now, October started fairly straightforwardly with, you know, you could tell that there wasn't an awful lot in the news because we're doing stories like this, you know, Elon Musk has basically done a bit too much noticing and he's gone down to the southern border, which, you know, is an important issue.
Millions of illegals flooding in and changing the demographics of the world's superpowers so that it becomes irretrievably left-wing and broken.
Um, but it is a slow news topic.
I mean, it's not what you, it's not necessarily what you default to.
It's a weird one, isn't it?
Because in any other normal time and place, that kind of plan of what if we, what if we have the country invaded by a load of illegals so that we can destroy the country?
That's kind of news, right?
It's kind of a news story, but it's not new.
Yes, hasn't been for like 10 years.
It doesn't have the new bit of news.
But anyway, to be fair, though, I mean, it has massively, massively gotten worse since Joe Biden took office.
Oh, yes.
Well, I think it's like four or five times worse than Donald Trump.
To be fair, everything has got worse since Joe Biden.
That is true.
So you're competing with Joe Biden worse.
But anyway, so October started a bit slow with that.
I think that was one of your sections.
That was quite good.
So I like that.
Then where do we go?
Oh yeah, I did a segment on Sweden discovered that actually you can just do mass deportations of people that are undesirable.
They basically had one too many hand grenade attack or whatever it was.
And they just thought, actually...
We don't need to live like this?
So we're sorted out?
Now, the reason I highlight this is because everybody else in the world thought, no, you can't do that, until two weeks later when something happened.
I won't spoil it.
And then everybody else started doing this as well.
God, I love when something happens.
Yes.
Well, I mean, it was a bit of bad, but anyway.
Right, so then, because we're still in a slow news bit, and nobody wants to talk about Ukraine anymore, because that had been going on for eight months, and even the media was getting fed up with that, we then had a bit of a silly couple of weeks, and then we then did...
Oh yes, this is one of yours, Gallim.
This is the Best Country to be Black MS Paint Edition.
Yeah, well, I saw some maps of people talking about that Britain was the best country in the world to be black and some people saying no, it's the worst.
Some politician made the case that actually, was it Kenny Badenoch?
Well, someone said it was the worst and then she turned around and went, no, it's the best.
Yes.
I'm from Nigeria.
You guys have never left London.
Yes, and then you just basically decided to... You equipped yourself with a copy of MS Paint, there we go, and basically decided to try and... Well, I wanted to get myself cancelled, so I thought I'd just try.
So we did the best country would be black and the best country would be white, and then the worst and the best for being black and white.
I still had a job at the end of it, which was a shame, so... Well, I've made a note here of $13.25, so let's have a look at... Oh, so did the audience.
Uh, 13, 13, 20.
Right, what happens here?
This is where we're coloring in the world.
Oh, I've got no idea.
Well, I just, I remember seeing that data from earlier, so I'm just going to do that.
There we are.
Oh, okay.
Big, big tick.
Right.
Um, how about Africa?
I feel like if you're black in Africa, there's no disadvantage.
Yeah, but who, yeah, but who goes, people come from there.
They don't go to there.
And the thing is there's large areas of Africa where it's not good to be anyone.
Well, this is my thing.
I mean, I thought about this question for long and hard, and I thought, okay, well, if I'm a black guy, I think the way you could rate whether it's a country that's the best to live in or not depends on just, do you get an advantage or disadvantage for being black?
I think probably, let's draw a line here, like this, you've got no disadvantage.
Hmm.
Because, well, you're the majority.
Anyway, so as you can see, that was jolly scientific.
Indeed.
It was a breakthrough in terms of Lotus Eater's research.
Yes.
As a single researcher in any university dared to discover where it's okay to be black.
Yes.
Well, not just that, but it was a technical innovation of doing a live, on-air, MS painting.
I've never seen that before on a news show.
Am I submitting this for our best moments now?
Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
But anyway, the point is, we were in City Season.
What came next in City Season?
Oh yes, I did a segment that I was quite happy with, which was on ex-current things.
So let's just play this with the sound off just so you sort of get the gist.
But basically, I noticed that my concern is... Oh bloody hell, I'm pressing the wrong button.
Right, so my concern is... We don't have Carl, you don't have to fill in the boomerism.
Like, there's stuff in the news quite a lot, right?
And people get very, very excited by it and, you know, think it's all terribly important.
And I was basically just pointing out that this shit just sort of just goes away after a while and everybody forgets about it.
And more to the point, people then look back and think, yeah, that thing was completely absurd.
Or a complete waste of my time.
Yes, but I don't know how many people actually do call onto it.
Yes, but the point I was making is that to some of us, probably the people who watch this channel, is we thought it was absurd at the time.
And it's really weird when you live like that, because there's always a new thing that comes along.
And like most of your friends, family and colleagues think that this is like a really important issue.
And you're just like, no, this is complete bollocks.
And it just keeps happening.
This is just the newest way to steal more money from me.
Yes.
Yes.
So the examples I came up with was Brexit.
That was a big thing.
People were getting very passionate about that and about how Britain was going to be destroyed if we Brexited.
Snakes coming out of taps and all that kind of stuff.
This one, most people have forgotten.
Plastic straws.
If you remember, plastic straws, about four years ago, was the hot topic that everybody was getting excited about.
Just a side track.
You've recently come back from going on holiday to Asia.
I get the same thing in Russia.
I imagine you do, but tell me if I'm wrong.
Where you get out of Europe and suddenly you're allowed plastic straws again.
Yes.
And you get little plastic bags for free at shops.
Yes, plastic everywhere.
Proper civilization, isn't it?
Yes.
They are miles ahead of us in the whole civilization game.
But plastic straws was bloody ridiculous, right?
And after that, there was going to be a deadly virus and we were all going to die.
Yeah, except some of us are saying, no, that's bollocks.
But basically everybody else that we knew was absolutely terrified about dying of a deadly virus.
And it just went, right?
Then it was BLM And, um, all that kneeling shit.
I don't know if football teams... You notice, every point of this, it is stealing something from us.
Yes.
I mean, like, they took our plastic straws.
Yes.
And then they took our freedom, locked us up, made us all poor.
That's definitely that.
And then they took any dignity from us by deciding that if you're white, you're evil, in that example.
Yes.
And what's your next one?
Well, my next one, actually, you know, my next one was a Chinese spy balloon.
Okay, that was just taking the piss.
Yes, it was, I mean, and it turned out, and the Pentagon released later, that's what inspired me actually to look at this thing, is like, two months later the Pentagon released a note saying, yeah, well it actually was a weather balloon, and it probably cost like a grand.
The Chinese probably have balloons.
Yes, and we spunked a $375,000 missile shooting it down.
And it was just a standard weather balloon, actually.
I do kind of like that, though.
Yes.
Like, America is the global hegemon.
I do like to see them go overboard.
Just sometimes.
Do you not get that?
Where it's like, if you're gonna be in charge, you've gotta be the one that spends a billion dollars just to kill one guy and all of his family members.
I suppose there is some certain charm to it, but my point is more that we live in a world where you are surrounded constantly by people who think that all of these things are genuinely real issues to get excited and motivated about.
Man, George Floyd was killed, bro.
We gotta burn down the city, bro.
Yes, and we'll start social media-ing and stuff, right?
And these people that we have to live with, they think that the politicians and the news people are basically just honest and earnest.
Yeah.
Yes.
And actually, what we live in is something closer to a clown world.
But like medieval jousting where they just like ride clown bikes at each other honking.
And we have to sit there taking it seriously as if it is medieval jousting.
And I can't do it.
I've come to the conclusion...
An IQ any higher than 130 is just a curse, basically.
So there was a film, Gattaca, I don't know if you remember that one, it's a bit of an old film now, where basically people started genetically engineering their kids to be smarter and stuff, and I'm saying that when that technology arrives, and it'll probably arrive quite soon, do not give your kid a high IQ.
Basically give them a 110.
What, let him enjoy the clown car?
Yes.
Yes.
Because if you're at 110, you're basically smart enough to understand the concept of ideas, but not take them apart.
So you can have the joy or certainty of going through life thinking that you know stuff, and like having opinions, and like the entire media establishment backs you up on all of your opinion.
You don't realise- But you don't actually have any opinions, you just get them off them, and say they're your own.
But you'd just be happy your whole life.
Yeah.
Whereas if you're smart, the world is basically just torture.
I have met a few people like that, especially when I've interacted with Lib Dems, I must say.
Because like with the Labour guys, I watch their conferences.
Those guys are genuinely struggling in the mental capacity.
I mean, a lot of them come up and they're proud of that.
That's their claim to fame, that they're a divergent or something.
But when you interact with the Lib Dem types, I overwhelmingly do find people who think that they're doing good and you're doing bad.
And the reason for that is because they've been told they're doing good.
And it's like, you actually think the clown is a politician who likes you.
Yes.
Yeah.
And you think the prostitute loves you.
What are you doing?
Yes.
And they're never going to get through it.
I shouldn't say this.
Ah, go for it.
We can censor it.
It's a pre-record.
Oh, that's a point.
Yes.
The 110 community... Okay, I can see where this is going.
They do make up a decent chunk of our YouTube comments.
But not all of them.
Not all of them.
Now, there are some genuinely good comments.
I disagree with this, like, cynicism about our YouTube audience.
I think it's bollocks, to be honest.
Right, okay.
No, I like them in general.
I'm just saying that the...
I'll cover it later, but yeah, there was a contingent of the 110s there who don't get any jokes or... I'll move on, I'll move on.
I think they just don't get your references sometimes.
Possibly, possibly.
Right, next one, while we're still in silly season, we've got this lovely video.
You should watch it on the main website, because we did put it up on YouTube, but we could only put the first four minutes up.
Because we were talking about... Ladies!
Ladies in gaming.
Let's play from just before we had to... Just before we had to cut it.
Let's do this.
This is the promotional video.
Let's start, for those of you listening, with a lovely looking lass called Shapeshifter.
Pronouns she, her.
Let's see what this lovely ladies has to say.
Right, there we go.
So you get the first four minutes on YouTube.
And basically, it was... You know how if you're really good at something, including video games, you can win a tournament?
Right?
Yeah.
Yes.
And if you're a lady and you're really good at it, you can win the ladies' tournament.
But ladies don't tend to do well in the men's tournament.
Well, they don't tend to do well in anything like that.
Even chess.
Yes.
And then, the men who were semi-sort of good, But not good enough to win a tournament.
Realised they could enter the ladies tournament.
Well, no, they, they, they, no, hang on, hang on.
This is going out on YouTube.
They, they are ladies and they realised that they should therefore enter the ladies tournament.
Yes.
Because they are ladies.
So they can compete with people on the same level as them.
Yes.
And, and then they could win.
So anyway, um, we, we, we, we covered, um, oh, I can't even remember what it bloody was now.
It was, um, was it?
It's one of the MOBAs.
Is it DOTA or...?
Does it matter?
Or League of Legends?
Well, anyway... I think more the question is about... Yes.
If you have a situation which we're not even talking about swimming or strength, we're just talking about your mind.
And Cora Miki would enter the room to be like, men obviously are better than women in every regard, look at the chess players!
And, um... Yes.
Yeah, he'd be right.
But then there's a unique circumstance of what if you aren't as good as Douglas Carlson or whatever, and you just want to be a lady?
Well, then you go to the ladies' chess department, don't you?
Yes.
And I can tap over anything.
Well, this went down some interesting rabbit holes because by the end of it we were discussing non-obvious tells such as knee structure and... Yeah, well you gave some good advice for visiting Thailand.
Yes, yes.
Very practical on that one.
So that was the penultimate silly season.
And then we got... Oh, no, hang on.
I should also mention... Yes.
Uh, potentially my favorite video of the year was, uh, my birthday was in October, so I decided to make a whole video where people could send me birthday congratulations, and then I basically just did that.
Now, some people have said that was highly self-indulgent, but the way I looked at it was that if you produce content that you personally like, then surely that would mean other people would like it.
I mean, there's truth in that.
So that was my top video for October.
So now, the final video in City Season, which was Chirp.
Yes, the final video in silly season, which was Chirp.
This is one of yours.
How would you frame this one, Callum?
Well, we discovered that there are large cultural differences between the culturally enrichers and those who need culturally enriching, we're told.
And it turns out that the difference is that us, demyelinated snow vampires, we don't have ceiling birds, whereas our good friends... We don't know we don't have them.
They just don't chirp.
Yeah, they're silent.
They just don't feel like chirping.
I mean, they have batteries or something, I don't know.
Yeah.
Whatever it is.
But for some reason, a bunch of ceiling birds don't exist in our houses, but exist in other people's houses.
Yes.
And what was funny is actually that this wasn't something that turned into some kind of ADL article about the signs of racism as they talk about the ceiling bird.
Instead, everyone actually just agreed it was funny.
Yes.
And loads of black TikTokers started making videos where they were just like, look, this is ridiculous.
I can't believe people say, chirp.
Okay, it's true.
Leave me alone.
In fact, we have that.
I'll come back to the bit where I was on 817.
Hang on, I'm doing some live editing.
Oh, here we go.
Let's see if we can do this.
see if we can do this. - Stereotypical. - And this is what pisses me off about people.
How are you gonna stereotype a whole entire race?
- To be fair, good on them for being on the joke, Yes, so exactly your point, but hang on, I wanted to show 8.17, which is over here, which is the look of bafflement as this is attempted to be explained.
It's really funny, where this chap here, he's always by bait.
Kevin Samuels?
Yeah, and he's explained to this woman that it's happening and she doesn't know, and he pins it on single mothers.
First of all, you're definitely a single woman because you got the single woman tail.
That damn smoke detector.
How do you live with that?
Um, the way that I've been living with just being a single woman is... No, no, no, no, no, no.
Specifically, the smoke detector that keeps chirping.
How do you live with that?
Can you just elaborate more on, like, what do you mean by the smoke detector?
It keeps going beep.
That smoke detector that's beeping in the background.
There's a smoke detector.
It beeps every 30 seconds and it goes beep!
Did you just hear it again?
Because I don't hear anything.
- Wait for it.
Told you guys, they don't hear it after a while.
Yes.
The thing that I liked about this video is, is after you're sort of alert to it, you basically see it on almost every video that comes out of London now.
Yeah.
Like Sadiq Khan did a video the other day about the conditions that people live in because apparently they've got bad landlords.
And he immediately went to a woman who can't even speak English.
Yes.
Who's got a free house from the government.
Yes.
And uh, oh woe is her.
And for some reason she had a SkyVR eagle.
Yes.
Chirping.
Regularly.
And that was the one where she was complaining about black mold.
After she'd taped up all the air vents.
So, yes.
Something you sort of noticed.
Anyway, right.
So, we had a bit of a silly time in early October because there wasn't much going on until a bunch of billionaires operating out of Qatar decided to end the Ukraine war with Hamas pulling off their Hearts and Minds campaign.
Probably not completely understanding what you're supposed to do with those Hearts and Minds.
Yes.
So it was a bit dark, this one, but yes.
Quite a large, nasty massacre to protest the fact that there's a big wall around Gaza.
And to prove the point that you don't need that wall, they ran out, broke it down and massacred everyone they could find.
I will be honest, I can make an argument for the Palestinian cause, but Hamas are just genuinely stupid.
Yes.
Like I don't know what the political move was here that was going to play out, because the hope that I've seen from people is like pure copium, that man Iran was going to get involved if the Israelis went too hard, and then the Iranians just went no.
I'm just going to let you get killed.
Well, I mean, the US did move quite a sizable portion of their fleet to the area.
Yeah, because the Americans love Israel.
What did you think was going to happen?
Yes, exactly.
But anyway, so that happened and we did some very well regarded coverage on that.
It is worth checking out and it is worth going to the website and watching the full episode rather than the chunked up bit on YouTube.
That was me, Bo and Carl.
We went quite deep on this.
And we went significantly deeper than you get on any mainstream channel.
And then in addition to that, Bo and I did a Broconomics on Gaza, where we basically went over the deep history of this.
And then the sort of history from the 80s and onwards, which was extremely well regarded and goes into great depth.
So this is a subject that you're not particularly familiar on.
Go and check that out.
You can even buy that episode for £1.89 if you're not a website subscriber and just catch up on that and you'll be fully brought up to speed on that.
So anyway, as you say, Hamas, you'll be confused about their strategy of winning people over by basically just massacring everybody that it could find en masse.
Even if you're not winning people over, what were you going to do exactly?
Except get killed?
You say that, but the thing is, it actually worked.
What do you mean?
Well, throughout the West, lefties en masse rose up to support Hamas.
Yeah, well, they didn't do anything.
Yeah, well, that's true, and they didn't actually achieve anything at a policy level.
Well, I mean, it did garner support.
So after having a frivolous start to October, we then basically spend a couple of weeks going through the rather bizarre attitude that Western lefties have on this subject.
And there were many that I could have picked out, but I picked out... This is one of yours, isn't it, I think?
Yeah, so Ethan is a man who is concerned.
He supports Israel.
I think his wife used to be in the IDF or something.
I think he might be Jewish as well.
Yes.
And then his co-host on his left-wing podcast is Hasan Piker, who believes that Hamas didn't do nothing, and frankly should have done more than they didn't do.
In fact, you capture it quite well on the video.
H3H3 is now slightly concerned because it turns out that if you caught an audience of rabid leftists and you're a Jewish guy, it's not actually the best move because it turns out a bunch of them are real anti-semitic and well, it's come to haunt him personally.
So that's the general gist of it, but yes.
Not to be insensitive, But left-wing Jews in the West have, for a long time, pushed an ideology which basically sanctifies the violence that brown people do against their oppressors.
As long as they're doing it against white people.
Yes.
But when it happens to Israel, then it's bad.
Yes.
And you can see this in specific figures.
I mean, like Ethan Klein there, being one.
Yeah, and you sort of have to wonder, did he never expect, I mean presumably he never thought that this ideology would ever be used against him, or that the Jews were just an exception, or something like that?
We did record like a big-ass premium podcast, me and Kyle talking about this, but we're not sure if we're ever going to release it, because I don't know if it's suitable or not, basically.
But one of the things that I can talk about for sure is that there was definitely this narrative within left-wing Jewish circles that whiteness was responsible for the Holocaust.
And this is popularized, obviously, by American Jews.
But that obviously makes no sense whatsoever because it's the Germans.
So this is just becoming, as a result, a movement that wanted to punish whiteness for the Holocaust, which meant punishing the Anglo-Saxons, which are the only people on earth who defend you.
That you don't live in China, you don't live in Africa, you don't live in Russia, you don't live in South America.
You live in the Anglosphere and Ukraine and Israel.
That's it.
Yes.
And in Ukraine, no one cares about Ukrainian Jews.
Yes.
They're just not relevant.
Yeah.
I mean, there were sort of many videos around this time because, of course, I mean, it wasn't just Ethan Klein who sort of got the raw deal on this.
I mean, you had a whole bunch of these sort of universities polarizing.
Where, you know, the kids would come out and just immediately start celebrating Hamas.
Following on Freedom Fighters.
Literally celebrating Hamas.
And then all the professors were like, ah, those kids might kill me.
Yes.
Yeah, you probably shouldn't have done that.
Well, I mean, it backfired in a couple of cases because, I mean, there was this, basically the Fortune 500 sort of got together and decided that they were going to blacklist any of the kids who belonged to the organizations that were calling for the celebration of Hamas.
And you've got to got a feel for these kids because they've been trained basically since they first entered the education system to always and everywhere celebrate brown violence.
It's sort of like the Maoist era, when these Maoist kids were taught to go too far, and then Mao did a 180 and decided he was a rightist now, literally a quote from him, and then had them all purged.
Bro, you literally set them up.
Yes.
Presumably these were a bunch of 110 IQ kids who basically just bibed the message.
And Wynelton faithfully employed it, and have now been blacklisted from the Fortune 500 company.
He colonised the West!
Oh no, not that part of the West.
Yes.
Also, there was a whole bunch of segments that we did on basically all the Western leaders for a space of about two weeks decided that they were now pro-deportation.
Yeah, I mean that was the real beauty of the whole thing for us.
Yes.
Do you not care about the conflict?
Do you not care about foreign countries?
Spoiler alert for when we get to your section on December, they were lying.
Yeah.
But, um, for two weeks there was a bit where there was, where there was sort of pro, um, supporting people in large numbers.
And then they, then they sort of dropped that.
Right.
Um, anyway, so we did that for a couple of weeks and then what did we do?
Oh yeah, this one got glossed over a bit.
You did one on the most wonderful time of year.
What is the most wonderful time of year, Callum?
Labour Conference, of course.
Yeah.
Because you get to see the most neurodivergent people put on a show.
And it's a hell of a show.
So, if you want to have a good time, I guess go check out this year's version.
It's a shame because, I mean, it kind of felt like this deserved more airtime.
Because you sat there and watched God knows how many hours of Labour Conference.
Six times eight hours.
Yes, and I think we only got the one segment out of it.
Yeah, I don't really have that much time as I used to.
I used to make like a proper compilation for each day and whatnot.
It wasn't something we could do this time.
Although they did also, there were some developments, which is they did become slightly less mental.
Did they?
Yeah, because I mean last time they'd have loads of young people come up.
And like, young mental people are proper mental because there's no filter.
And left-wing.
Yeah.
Yes.
Whereas this time around, like, all of those people have kind of left because now, you know, Daddy Corbyn's not there.
Right.
So now it's all like 40-year-olds, bitter left-wing nutters.
Right.
So, yes, they don't say as much mental stuff.
Bitter and jaded and just beaten into silence.
Yeah, they just want power so then they can exercise on people they don't like.
So they're willing to keep their mouth shut.
They've learned they've got to do that.
Whereas the literal children, and I'm talking 13 and up, who were speaking under Jeremy Corbyn's era.
I mean, yeah, that was going to be funnier.
I mean, this was a 15-year-old comes on stage in dungarees and tells us we need to end capitalism.
I did like that the anti-noticing people themselves started doing a bit of noticing.
There's a particular clip I want to play from this.
The words are about to come out of my mouth are the experiences of a 19-year-old teenager from an ethnic minority background.
In fact, it's so diverse, she says, there's large amounts of violent crime.
Her words.
Okay.
The words are about to come out of my mouth are the experiences of a 19-year-old teenager from an ethnic minority background.
As much as I love my exotic olive-colored skin, people like me, unfortunately, more likely to be victims of all kinds of violence.
I'm from London, the most multicultural city in the world.
However, also a city that has the highest proportion of people like my parents, immigrants of ethnic minority background.
Statistically, women like my mum are more likely to be victims of every kind of violence, however also least likely to report any kind of violence.
Why, you may be wondering, conference?
Because of this Tory government.
I love Bo's face, look at that.
I mean, she's done the noticing, she just hasn't quite arranged it in that little brain of hers.
The Tories have made my neighbourhood so diverse that now my diverse mum might be raped.
Yes.
Can we ask why the Tories are responsible for that?
Yes.
This is one of the younger people, of course.
My area is really good because it's incredibly diverse.
However, there's incredibly high crime.
And also my mum is at risk of sexual violence.
Yes.
Because of the Tories.
What did the Tories do?
Yeah.
I don't think it's going to be some dude with red trousers and a pink blazer and a bow tie that is going to come along and rape your mum, to be honest.
I think it might be the locals.
Yes.
That's the thing you're actually scared of, which is why you said it.
Yes.
So, you know, we're going to give her maybe a B plus for noticing and a D minus for thinking about it afterwards.
I don't even think this one is a 110.
No, that's what I mean.
The Labour Party conference is definitely below the 110.
Yes, this might be a 94 or something like that.
What have I got next?
Oh yes, I'm starting to run out of October now.
But I do have to give special mention to what is the point of GB News.
Who did this one?
TB News, what is the point of you anymore?
Oh, there we go.
So, Harry's segment on... Let's just play a bit more.
You started as a supposedly free speech platform to provide voices for more dissident thinkers, and now, just so that we can put the spoilers straight out there, Boris, the most dissident thinker who's ever existed, pushing for literally a more global Britain, is what he said.
I'll play this clip in a moment to confirm it for everybody, but GB News is now just a place where Tory MPs and Ministers can vent their spleen for a bit.
Well, and pretend to be right-wing.
Yeah, and pretend to be right-wing.
We're right-wing!
Yes, yes, you kind of nailed the point there.
If anyone watching this is watching GB News as well, why?
They've got Neil Oliver left, haven't they?
If I had a TV, I might watch him.
There's Nick Dixon and Leo.
I don't know who they are.
They're good friends.
You've got Andrew Doyle, he's doing a thing.
But you can tell those guys, if GB News isn't a fan of Saying you can't have sex with certain women?
Or you shouldn't be forced to?
I feel like anyone telling jokes is definitely on the chopping board.
Yes.
I'm not certain our average segment would sort of come out well if we aired it on GB News.
Well, we have reiterated multiple times that we also would not have sex with that journalist.
And I don't care what Gordon Brown says, we're not going to be forced to do it.
Yes.
No, I think I agree with that, actually.
I still can't get over it, that's the thing that was the big right-wing split at GB News, was, should you be forced to have sex with a journalist?
Okay.
He was a right cow as well, yes.
So yes, don't know why GB News exists, but I felt that was worth highlighting, because they've basically done nothing to improve and everything to worsificate After that as well.
So that's not good.
Right!
Have I got one more?
Let's have a look.
Oh yes!
Yes.
So I had to do a bit because every so often I like to do a bit on American culture because it is fascinating.
You know, this is going out in December, you know, and obviously they've recently had their Thanksgiving, which still mystifies me.
Because I've referred to it before as a second Christmas, and they get very upset and say, no, it's not a second Christmas, it's just a time where we get together with the family and have a Christmas dinner.
Okay?
I mean, it's not a bad idea, is it, though?
Well, to have a spare Christmas, just in case you lose the other one.
I mean, Christmas dinner is the king of the roast, and the roast dinner is the king of the meal, so... Yeah, I'm not complaining, I just don't understand...
How it works?
I mean, I think it's because... I think it's because they're glad that the Indians haven't killed them or something.
Yeah.
I mean, why'd they pick the Indians as opposed to the Pakistanis?
I mean, they've both got nuclear weapons these days, but for whatever reason... That was a problem, and they're gonna have a spare Christmas dinner in order to... When you put it that way, we should be having 50 Christmas dinners every year.
All the people we should be glad haven't killed us, but... Yes.
But at least, yes, people who could have nuked us or something.
Anyway, right, so I'm not just fascinated by Thanksgiving, but also Halloween, which they take a bit more seriously.
So I tried to cover this with my usual sympathy for our American friends.
There are very straightforward people.
What you see is basically what you get.
And so 364 days a year, you know, what you see is what you get, and then one day a year they dress up as something that they're not.
But just in case you're not familiar with Americans, here's an example.
So these are all Americans.
Red-blooded Americans.
Yep.
You know, right now I want to come back.
I want to do a call back to my comment about one tens in, in the YouTube audience.
Because if you look at the comments for this one, the amount of people who explained my own joke to me... Oh, that is foolish.
Yes.
I'll agree with you on that.
In fact, I made a number of jokes in here, but I didn't do the laughy-clappy or play the soundtrack.
That indicates I'm doing a joke.
That is true, it's something that I hate especially about television culture, which is that they can't expect the people watching television to understand that a joke has just happened.
Yes.
So they have the clap.
Yes, and the laughing and stuff like that, yes.
You get it, audience?
There has been a joke.
Enjoy yourselves.
It's kind of German.
If you can, watch an episode of Friends where the clap and the laughing has been removed.
That's actually not too bad.
Right.
Big Bang Theory.
That's the challenge.
Oh, right, yes.
That's the S tier.
Yes.
That's a good one.
But anyway, but there are obviously people who are used to that, and when I do these segments where I make these sort of deadpan jokes, the YouTube comments section, the people explaining my own jokes back to me is...
I think that's what you're angry about.
Yes.
Anyway, I agree with you on that.
So that was October.
You know, started a bit boring.
Big massacre.
Everybody forgot about the Ukraine war.
We were in favor of deportations for two weeks, and then that all sort of got forgot about.
And then what else happened?
Oh, yes.
Left-wing Western Jews decided that they might have made an error.
And then Halloween happened.
Yes, the Labour conference, GB News imploded, and I did mourn American culture.
So, yes.
A good October, I think.
Fair enough.
Well, I suppose on that, we'll move on over to the next month being November.
Yes.
Right.
November.
It was alright.
It was fine.
I was reasonably happy with it.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I mean, I had a holiday, so I can't grumble.
Yeah, I think so did I.
We weren't really here for much of that.
All right, well, let's go over it.
Because it did start off kind of fun, which is this story broke a while back, of course, which is the diversity in London decided it was their time of year to have their Christmas.
And as a result, white people had to be locked up for saying they didn't like it.
And I'm not really exaggerating when I say that.
So if people don't remember, this is a story in which an English guy filmed the fact that his street had been covered in Palestinian flags and obviously not being Palestinian or Israeli didn't give a crap.
Disgusting!
called it the word s and this is the one where he made i mean it was a very very milk toast video yeah where he basically just said why is my street covered in palestinian flags so the police came around and arrested him because of course he ended up spending i think the next 24 hours in jail because i remember tommy covering the story just being like the dude is still in jail We're in contact with the family, we're trying to get him out.
And then he got let out, and I don't know what the end result was, if he ended up getting sent to court with a communication offence.
But there we are.
Hate speech is literally saying you disagree with the current thing now.
This is the thing that I'm reminded of.
No matter how much you despise British police, you do not despise them enough.
And they really just don't understand when to not bother.
But then again, I mean, it is the Met Police.
I mean, the diversity police.
Yes.
The people who actually think it is good and just that they lock you up for having the wrong thought.
That's actually what their training entails.
Yes.
I mean, a friend of mine, he used to be a police officer.
He sent me some notes.
He was like, bro, you need to find out this website because it has all of the police misconduct.
And obviously, there's a police officer who committed, oh, I don't know, Fraud.
So then they can't be a police officer anymore, obviously.
Or there's a police officer who went a bit bloody mental and got a punch up at the pub, so he's been disciplined or something.
And then you'll find in there notes where it's like, Officer A sent sexist text messages in 2016, and since discovering it, he has been placed on unpaid leave until we can investigate the matter further.
It's just like, are you serious?
Someone 7 years ago sent their sexist meme.
And that's the internal discussion that the police in London have with themselves.
So I mean, sincerely, they actually do love their jobs.
It's not a bug, it's a feature that they do this to people.
So there we are.
What can I say?
Well, everyone kind of being a bit pissed off about this and a few other facts of, you know, diversity correspondence not being really for us.
There was a moment in which Big Baz and all his boys went down to the Zanitaf.
You remember Tommy organized that?
Yes.
Net result was not much.
So I tried to give a bit of a warning on this one because, I mean, basically to your prior point, You have to appreciate that the police, the judiciary, and the media, and the politicians, basically the entire establishment, if you hate your country, they will bend over backwards for you.
If you love your country, they will brand you as a right-wing hooligan and attempt to destroy you.
Well, they want you in prison, shut up, or dead.
Yes.
And this was basically people upset about, you know, all of those, you know, hardcore right-wing issues, like not defacing the Senataf, and potentially, and this one is quite a hardcore right-wing position, not having refugees rape children, that sort of stuff.
And so there was going to be a protest.
My warning was basically, you do realize that the police will, the police and the media will do everything in their power to make you look bad.
And even if you behave yourself, at some point, they will just randomly attack and start arresting people.
So what ended up happening is that Tommy did turn up, pays his respects, and then left, because that's what he said he was going to do.
Yes.
Most of the people there did exactly the same.
Yes.
There was just one route to the Zenitaph, which the police decided no one was going to walk through, which was by the front of the Ministry of Defense.
It's literally just a pathway.
And it's open...
Every other day of the year, every hour.
For some reason, they just decided this one's closed now.
So obviously, a bunch of the lads over there were just like, what the hell?
And a small scuffle broke out.
And that was basically it.
And of course, that small scuffle became the story for the mainstream media, because that's what they were going to do.
That's not a surprise, I mean.
I mean, that was probably planned as well.
Local scorpion stabs frog.
It's not really shocking.
You always have to be careful with these things, because But I don't know.
I don't know what really was going to happen otherwise.
I mean, just nothing happened in my opinion.
There was no real effect.
Yeah, but for example, January 6th was an entirely legitimate process, and it has been turned into the Reichstag's fire.
And almost certainly, the rest of the Western world is thinking, okay, can we have one of those too?
Because that'd be very convenient.
Well, that's the thing.
My personal opinion on this has become that London deserves London.
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn.
Well, that's why I got out.
Yeah, I mean, if they want to burn down their own city, go for it.
I literally do not have any attachment to that place anymore whatsoever.
But anyway, as you mentioned, mass deportations became a normal thing to talk about as a result.
Now, that was the real positive of everything that happened in London, which is you look at London and then think, my God, what if we could remove that city from England?
And that's good that people recognize that a high-crime, highly disorganized, low-trust society is bad.
Yes, if we could build a wall around London, that would be quite good.
So, I mean, that's positive.
There's some consciousness raising there.
Yes.
Consciousness is important to actually understand where the problems are.
So that was good news.
Yes.
And then the Conservative Party watching the British public raise their consciousness on the fact that maybe multiculturalism is a complete lie to destroy the country.
If not just ignorance, then it's that.
Well, they decided they'd blow themselves up.
One of their members said, this is bad, maybe we shouldn't do it.
So they fired her.
Yes, so right, I was on holiday trekking through jungles when this came out, so I missed this story entirely.
But my understanding was that Saretta Braveman gave me the impression, because I know the routine, because it's been the case throughout the entire Tory government.
Every 18 months, what you do is you change the Home Secretary, Or the Home Secretary comes up with a new plan.
And you tell everyone, oh this time, this will be the time!
Yes, it's like Charlie Brown and the Bull.
And then you say, oh we're definitely going to do it this time, and then they don't do it.
And either the plan gets dropped, or the Home Secretary gets fired, which is normally what happens.
Well she got fired for saying that the people shouting deaths to the Jews, she said that was a hate march, and those specific comments were the focus of the media campaign to get rid of her, and then because the media said something retarded, the Prime Minister agreed with the media.
He is so utterly biddable.
I still can't get over this.
I mean, we mentioned this the other day, but I still don't really understand.
They do coup to the government to do nothing?
I mean, he is as pitiful as a semi-trained puppy.
I mean, you basically just click your fingers and if you are a corporate interest and he just sort of jumps up and down wagging his tail.
Yeah, but I just find it hilarious that Sorelle O'Hara did the most basic B thing of a Western politician.
Like, hey, maybe Jews shouldn't live in fear of cause of genocide in our capital city.
And can't even do that.
Can't even do that.
You've got to go, lady.
Yes.
I mean, you know, maybe she actually believed that immigration should be lowered.
And when they, after she'd been in the job for a while, they thought, oh my god, she actually believes the thing that she's saying.
We cannot have this in the Tory party.
Maybe.
The cool thing out of all of it was that she did issue a statement afterwards, and usually partition statements are utterly boring and worthless and not relevant.
But what was good about hers is she didn't focus on any of the hopes and aspirations she had for the country or any of the bollocks.
She just wrote a letter being like, you're an illegitimate leader who cooed the government.
Which is obviously true.
I'm good to go back and watch this one then.
Yeah, so I mean that's really something that actually is really important and it's just kind of been glossed over.
But yeah, we do have a literally illegitimate leader who cooed the state.
Yes.
And the funnier of all things, he did it to do nothing.
This is always your point, he cooed the government For no reason whatsoever.
Listrust promised a tax cut, so he was like, woah woah woah, I've couped the government!
Alright, what am I gonna do now I've couped the government?
Ah, nothing.
Yes.
I'm just gonna sit here with my foot on the accelerator, heading off this cliff.
Well, I suppose because after he's done, he's just going to move to America with his 60 million.
So, who cares?
Or he'll go to India.
Well, and his billionaire wife, so, I mean, he's going to be okay.
Yeah, he's got two other places to go and live.
Yes.
So, good for him.
Anyway, turned out, all of those problems that she was referring to, and everyone was kind of pissed about, can be fixed immediately, we found out in San Francisco in November, because of course...
San Francisco being hell.
Well, Xi Jinping was visiting, the leader of China, so they fixed it up for his visit and put up Chinese flags all over the streets he was visiting.
Not American flags.
Because it turns out, literally, any of the problems we have in society, of course, any other time, the politicians could just fix them.
And, you know, sometimes they did, back in the day.
So San Francisco has been going down the drain for a good ten years, if not more.
And throughout that time, you've had people like Gavin Newsom saying, you know, these are systemic, they can't be fixed, you know, there's nothing we can do about it.
And the leader of the free world turns up, and it's just gone.
I love China, the leader of the free world!
Well, I mean, who else gets to make that claim?
Yeah, okay.
But I love that you're right on the money there, which is that as soon as it affected them, which is literally just our reputation with the Chinese... Yeah, we don't want to look bad in front of Pooh Bear.
And everyone else having to live in literal piles of human feces.
Why it wasn't it wasn't Gavin Newsom's who had to do that, so he didn't care.
But this is the problem.
These people are so disconnected from the rest of us because of globalization, they can literally just move to another country or across the state, such as Gavin Newsom's dad.
Want to guess where he moved?
Boulder?
Yes.
Right.
That was a good guess, wasn't it?
I'm not even joking.
I mean, weird that, for some reason, didn't want to live where his own son's running the bloody place.
It's because they just, they can just leave.
I mean, this is the point.
It's like, as we found out with lockdowns, if politicians want to do something, They actually can do it, and immediately, and with significant force.
But also, if we want them to actually be forced to improve where we live as well, they have to kind of be forced to live with us for the rest of their time.
Yes.
I don't know how we're going to enforce that.
Or at least we need to persuade the Chinese leader to come for a visit.
Yeah.
All politicians will live in the most deprived areas of England once they're out of office.
We'll forcefully relocate them to inner-city Birmingham.
Yes, I like it.
Anyway, but that wasn't the only thing.
There was a fun bitch fight.
Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro.
Ah, right.
So this is the one video that I... So I managed to find in the jungle a bit of Wi-Fi and this is the one video I watched actually.
This was fun, this one.
In which, well, Ben Shapiro is obviously pro-Israel.
Yeah.
And, you know, he's got a lot of ethnic consciousness there.
And Candace Owens came out with the position that I only care about America and if I was a white man, why would I care about Israel?
I would care about white Americans on an ethnic basis.
Yep.
That caused a bit of friction.
And I still got stuff not really resolved yet.
So we're in December.
She's still there, is she?
As I understand it, yeah.
He's not getting rid of her, obviously.
Yeah.
There's the kind of intersection of, what do you care about?
And of course, Ben, for understandable reasons, has far more to care about in Israel than Candace does.
Yes.
But then... He has been getting a bit unhinged.
I mean, it's fine to be pro-Israel, if that's your position, that's fine, but...
But he's kind of taken the view that Israel could do no wrong, no matter what it does.
And to even suggest the possibility that it could do wrong is basically a sackable offence.
I don't even care about that.
I mean, the problem was just, you must care about Israel.
Neutrality on the issue isn't acceptable.
But I've got so many problems in my own backyard, man.
I've got my own effing problems.
I'm busy.
So the Chinese leader has left and my city is falling apart again.
So we'll see where that goes, I guess, but they're still button heads.
But the real excitement of November was Bin Laden came back.
Yeah.
He became the TikTok leader of the free world from the grave.
Well, I suppose the deep dark sea where he's gone, which was funny, which was a load of Zoomers found bin Laden's message to Americans and his explanation for why he did 9-11.
And they went, oh, bro, bro, he's so smart, bro, because he didn't write it in emojis.
He wrote in full sentences.
That's all that's good about that letter.
It's not convincing.
It's not very well argued.
It is entirely a threat if you actually read it beyond the first paragraph.
He just writes, unless you become Islamist, we will kill you all, essentially.
And Zoomers were like, man, he wrote in whole sentences.
The guy was so smart.
I was like, okay, right.
That's painful to listen to.
And we have a Zoomer bin Laden animated by AI explaining this.
Yeah, basically.
What was kind of cool about it is that obviously there's much bigger powers that be caring about much bigger issues.
And one of the issues with TikTok is that they've been in hot water because they keep banning pro-Israel accounts.
So this issue here of all of a sudden TikTok was promoting Bin Laden.
They weren't.
The Zoomers just found it on their own course and it became popular.
And that was very quickly being used to, we need to shut down TikTok in the United States.
And just like within a day of that narrative turning up, TikTok actually took action and removed everything to do with Bin Laden.
That's the real level of fear.
But anyway, that was funny.
There were some good wins.
Libertarians?
Oh, yes.
Argentina?
Yes.
Good win?
I did a Brokeronomics on Argentina.
It has been dire for many, many years.
And it started off really quite based, actually.
Originally.
Well, Argentina, as in Arge, the bit.
I mean, it started off as a silver-backed currency system.
It was incredibly prosperous.
And then they suddenly realized, oh, instead of using silver, we can just use paper money instead.
And almost immediately collapsed and has been suffering ever since.
Yes.
Yes.
They just... Money pressure to go... Yes.
They just kind of destroyed themselves as soon as they found paper money.
But anyway, now this lunatic's in charge, he's done a pretty good job.
Yes.
So, from what I've seen, he actually has carried out his demands, which is a women's department, no, and just got rid of it.
Which, good job.
And, well, I should say we're recording this at the 6th of December, if by the time this comes out, he's massacred half the population.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe it was... We might want to put a note on the video.
I don't think he will.
I think he'll just keep doing the normal things, which is, oh, maybe he'll get rid of the stupid government department.
Yeah.
He's like, well, that was a billion dollar save.
Or the CIA will take him out.
Ah, nah.
Dude loves America too much.
But anyway, he wasn't the only one.
The Dutch.
They won.
Oh, yes.
They're now in government, I think.
Did he win or did he get, like, however many, like... Well, Gert Wilders became the largest party leader.
Yes.
With, uh...
His party there, who are cool.
And then my understanding is there was a bunch of coalition talks and it was expected he would still be out of government.
But then I've heard rumors that he's going to work out.
We're all going to make it, boys.
And he's got that Farmers Party as well, which will presumably back him up.
Yeah, I don't know where they are these days.
But there's the thing.
I mean, none of us really pay attention to Dutch politics, which is weird considering how close it is, I guess.
Yes.
But then you look over and you're like, what are they doing?
Oh, well, their far right took over the country.
Oh.
That's pretty impressive.
High hopes that they can lead the way on this.
That was us looking to the south, and if we go for the weather forecast, if we look to the west, there's a bus on fire.
We suddenly found out.
A local bus in Dublin was burnt down, and again, I'm sorry to tell everyone the bad news, but it really did happen.
It was the worst thing to ever happen.
In Ireland.
Just out of the blue, a bus burns down.
Yeah.
Right.
Far right, presumably.
There were rumours spread that the bus, um, deserved it.
Right.
It's still incoherent, of course.
The five people who don't know a foreigner decided to stab a bunch of kids who should have been deported 20 years ago.
So, of course, people were a bit peeved.
And so they burnt down a bus as well as protesting.
And the response of that was funny, which is to end off November, which is the Irish government doubled down on their position that the real victim was the bus, not the kids.
And then they tripled down.
Saying that anyone who says anything is wrong, we're going to send you to jail under our new hate speech law.
There's a hell of a way to end a month.
Yes.
There we are.
There's the weather forecast, which is, you know, far right in the south and to the west.
More far right, probably growing.
I quite like the way that, you know, sometimes weird countries just become the focal point of pushback.
Like Canada did with the truckers protest at the end of the, you know, the deadly virus thing that was going to kill us all.
And it's like, who thought that they were going to be the ones who basically led us out of it?
Is it possible that Holland or Ireland are going to be the ones who are like, no, stop this nonsense?
Well, I'm really excited that Ireland, because of the level of ethnic consciousness they have, the state is literally based on that ethnic consciousness.
It's an ethno-state for the Irish against the English.
The whole reason it exists.
If you listen to various Gaelic songs about the Civil War or the Easter Uprising, the lyrics are literally, we went out and killed the foreigners, and the foreigners being the English.
What's the literal translation of Sinn Féin, for example?
I don't remember off the top of my head.
I think it's we ourselves, we govern ourselves essentially.
The Celts for the Celtic nation, which is a bit difficult.
And their entire policy, that woman you showed just now, is basically saying we need to be foreignized as fast as possible.
So I think if there is a battleground for a nation which has speedrun the whole multiculturalism concept, because it worked out so well in every other European nation, but it is Ireland, because of their small population and massive amounts of immigration, the proportions are mental, even compared to us, and combine that with the fact that it is literally an ethnostate, not a monarchy, not a constitutional republic, Not any of that.
Literally, it's just an ethnostate.
That's the only reason they exist.
It will be, I think, the battleground to decide whether or not this globalist movement can be utterly destroyed in the political realm.
On that, we shall move on.
The last month.
Right.
It's a bit difficult because we're in the middle of it.
Not exactly the middle.
We're not even in the middle.
December.
Right.
It's currently the 6th we're filming this, so it's a bit difficult to tell you what happened.
Let's give it a go.
I mean, I could make some stuff up.
Go on, then.
The Tories betray us.
The Democrats rig the system against Trump.
I don't know.
Some other stuff.
Maybe some white European children join Richmond and then cease to exist.
Well, tell us how that worked out.
Yes.
That could be dark.
Yes.
Well, we're gonna roll the dice.
Why not?
Live dangerously.
There we are.
Anyway.
So, we'll get to the news that I can tell you about.
The six days that we have of it, which is the... Well, it started out with the ending of the Irish situation, or at least the Irish Lives Matter movement propping up, which was pretty cool.
Because, of course, now the Irish government had tripled down in opposing the Irish existence.
The Irish didn't take kindly.
And so they started putting up posters that say, Irish Lives Matter.
In Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, I'm told.
This is just Northern Ireland here.
And the British state, obviously, immediately investigated them for hate.
And West Belfast, heading on BBC News, anti-immigration signage, a hate incident.
It literally says, Irish lives matter.
Yeah, so the British government were going to obviously crack down on the Irish, which at least there's a narrative there that would make somewhat sense, but obviously not when the government is run on the principle.
How the hell can they?
Cognitively do this in their own skulls.
They spent two years going, Black Lives Matter is, if you don't agree with that, it's hateful, but if you say Irish Lives Matter, that's a hate incident.
Oh, because the Irish are now declared white, and therefore deserve, well, removal.
That's their position, not mine.
And the British police.
But anyone who's still a normie, stop being such a twat and just...
Have a good day.
Just recognise what's going on in the world, will you?
Well, that was the British police.
And then in Southern Ireland as well, some people put some signs up in Dublin.
And of course, the discussion in Southern Ireland was also that Irish lives don't matter from the Irish nationalists.
Funny world.
And it's not the only thing to end off the Irish news cycle, I suppose, which is that there was also the New Irish, which the Irish political elite decides we'll get around and talk about how actually everything's great, man.
Why?
Because I've got my own slave class, man.
They do everything for me, man.
They'll drive me to town, bro.
They'll make my food.
They'll make my coffee in prayer.
They'll literally pick my vegetables.
This is great.
Not realising that obviously the Irish elite are the elite and the rest of the Irish can suck a fat one.
Can you imagine how bad it would be if you didn't have all of those immigrants?
You might have Irish young people doing it and they might get a decent wage for doing so because you haven't got an inland supply of slaves.
Or, this is the other big kicker, those Irish people could buy a house.
Yes.
Which would be pretty good for them.
Yes.
But then you wouldn't have a slave class.
That's pretty bad for you.
Because then there'd be less demand on housing.
And they would be earning higher wages, but the dividend-receiving class would have to have slightly lower profits.
Yeah, I mean, we were dealing with some literal mental cases.
I mean, like, these responses were quite good.
To some of the people who were just like, oh, it's so good.
My slaves do everything for me.
It was like, right here.
Do you think they're aware of it?
Well, they should have been after 2,000 comments on one post.
That guy, at least.
But either way, what was pretty funny is, we can't include it yet, but I did see in the news cycle, just to end off the whole Irish saga, is the housing problem.
I mean, we talk about the housing crisis in the UK, which is mental, but because of Ireland's mass speedrun of our experiment, they actually ran out of houses.
Like, I'm not joking.
The government the other day announced that they physically cannot house the new people that turned up that day.
There is no hotels to send them to.
There is no army barracks to send them to.
No floating vessels.
I don't think that's going to slow them down for long, because before long it would be like, do you have a spare room?
Well, no.
Because you're taking an immigrant.
It became the situation like two days ago, at the time of recording, that the Irish government said, anyone who arrives via the refugee programs is going to be homeless.
We are going to make you homeless.
We have nowhere to put you.
Do you know what they did to compensate for that?
Oh God, what?
They gave them loads of money.
So they got a daily allowance of 119 euros for being homeless.
But if you're homeless and you're Irish, you got zero, obviously.
Fool.
So they're literally importing homeless people now, and then paying the homeless people to be homeless.
I mean, this is the level of speedrunnery they're trying.
I don't want to say anything that will get us booted off YouTube, but if there were to be an enrichment incident at Davos... And you're literally paying.
No, I'm just saying that the people in charge in the West at the moment, I mean, they all need to go one way or another.
Yeah, they need lots of removal from the political process.
No power should be ever given to these people ever again.
That's where they need to go.
They all need to be moved into any city, Birmingham.
Anyway, but moving on from Ireland, because I think that's probably enough, but hopefully we don't have to come back to the Irish until they've won.
Until they have a revolution.
But either way, we'll pay attention.
Cool, guys.
Thanks for what you're doing.
You're pretty awesome.
We go on Fat Liberation, which was good fun.
I don't know if you saw this.
West Virginia here.
The fattest state in the U.S.
I didn't realize how fat they were compared to the rest of the country.
Hang on, is that saying that California is healthy?
By comparisons.
This is a graph of obesity in the U.S.
Yes, dark green for the U.S.
is not a dark green for Serbia, for example.
The average Serbian woman is not the same fat ratio as the average American woman.
I know this because I did a Broconomics on the dating market recently.
I do know that 60% of the 18-35 women in the US are overweight or obese.
We were looking at this lady here.
She was the post-child.
For the Fat Liberation Movement.
And I suppose we'll play the starter here.
This is the best bit.
She tries to walk down a plane aisle and literally gets stuck.
And as you can see, she's complaining about this because the planes are not built for people.
They're built for skinny, averaged weight people.
Unlike her.
And that's discrimination.
That was fun.
That was fun taking a shot.
Should not wear more clothes as well.
I mean, it looks like a... Honestly, it looks like an ox's backside.
I don't know.
I think an ox has more grace.
It's kind of like a bunch of potatoes.
It's kind of like the... You know when you... Endless bum crack.
No, but you know when you see someone who's that fat, I mean, the arse or whatever else literally becomes like a potato sack.
I mean, it's not a mean thing to say about them.
It's a way of accurately describing the situation.
That's the case.
It's not even an insult.
I'm not even trying to say, man, you look bad.
I'm saying, do you actually resemble the potatoes in a sack?
Yes.
So there we are.
But anyway, it was a good year for scammers though, ending off December.
You know, congratulations.
You finally, you finally did it, boys.
You managed to literally not scam us over email.
I did find this one slightly annoying, to be honest.
Yes.
You think I didn't?
I mean, I will continue to fund it through my taxes, of course.
I mean, if there's anything that makes me want to go postal, it is this, to be honest.
Where you just see... Okay, government got scammed by shady contract by shady businessman, who told them this project was worth this much, but it wasn't, and he stole a billion pounds and then left for Dubai.
Yes.
Bad news.
Yes.
Government gets scammed by man not even trying, but said, I is Brown, give money.
Can't really forgive it.
Can't really forgive that level of incompetence.
And then he was thrust a whole series of forms that, you know, you just sign here and we will give you money.
Yeah, in the video, the guy's sitting there dancing as he posts online his crime.
He's not been punished, obviously.
Oh, yeah, obviously.
His crime was completely legalized by our state.
So... Yes.
There's that.
But, to end it off... Ah, God, I am dying.
To end it off, Before I die, I have something to tell you.
What was that then?
A miracle has happened.
A Christmas miracle, Timmy.
Oh good!
The government.
They think they might have messed up.
I think they might have, yes.
Yeah, well they think so too.
They think that maybe someone who applies for a skilled worker's visa should be skilled.
Well I mean it does stand to reason, yes.
So they demanded that if you're going to get a skilled workers visa you should probably have above average earnings?
So is this because figures came out while I was away that we were showing immigration of like 1.2 million?
Yeah, basically.
But the main problem here is they thought, this graph here, it's not even an upward curve, is it?
It's flat, and then just... I mean, it looks like a Venezuelan inflation graph.
So, I mean, I'm straining to make up the numbers at the bottom, but it does look like, like you say, it was more or less flat.
I mean, there's some noise on it, but more or less flat, yes.
I'm doing the same face now.
And then in 1997, something happens.
Um, and then, after Bojo got in, he was like, hold my beer, Mr Blair.
Look at this.
Yeah, I did see someone on Twitter say that the Tories have now been in power for longer and imported more people than Blair, so really they're the party of mass immigration?
Really?
True!
But also, Blair did start it.
I don't want anyone forgetting that.
Like, both of these people deserve hate.
Yeah, but...
I mean, they're basically just all the same.
Yeah, that's why I say they deserve being in the hay.
I don't mean a trial, I just mean straight to jail.
Like, just put in that cellblock.
Next to the Serbians.
You're much more forgiving than I am towards these people.
I don't know, I think they should share the rooms with Serbians and Serbians will do the rest.
I love Serbia.
Anyway, but that was kind of unsustainable.
So the government said, well, raise the amount of money you've got to earn to be a skilled worker in the UK to get that skilled workers visa.
They then raised it to the same amount, if you take inflation into account, that they already had it at.
So it did nothing.
So they said they did something.
And to be fair, they won't actually do any of this anyway.
It's just like the Surreta Braverman thing that you covered in the November video.
This is what the Tories do.
Every 18 months they come up with a new method for how they're going to get down immigration.
And they talk about it for six months.
Right, and then they let left-wing lawyers picket it, and then the news cycle changes to how it's going to be held up for six months.
And then they spend the final six months basically wrangling over, we would have loved to have done this thing, but we can't do it.
And then the cycle repeats.
I mean, it is more a realistic version of Dutch.
From Red Dead Redemption 2.
He's like, fellas, I've got a plan!
And then the plan just doesn't work, and he's like, I've got a new plan!
Yes.
Great.
Great Dutch.
What are we doing now, Dutch?
But just to end this off, because it's the 6th of December, I don't actually know what happened in December, really, except all six of those days.
I thought I'd talk about an aspect of this that we didn't really get to go over, which is this.
The India Young Professional Scheme Visa.
Right.
I'm not quite sure that's English, but whatever.
So, if you're Indian, and you're young, and you're a professional, which presumably means, well, you've got a degree or something?
Well, for some reason, since Indians became massively over-represented in the executive branch of our government, all of a sudden, in 2021, our government signed an agreement with India that we want more Indians.
As many as you have, if we could help it, but we'll cap it, as someone correctly pointed out.
To be fair, they do have a lot of them.
Yeah, well they want to get rid of them, and the Indians in our country want them.
So, what can you do?
I mean, not put it to a vote, obviously.
Just pass it.
Well, don't even pass it.
This isn't something that went to Parliament.
Just some guys met some Indian ministers and then this was the law.
This is just departmental guidance.
Off you go.
No need to discuss it.
No need to debate it.
No need to even get the MPs to be dragooned into the voting aisles.
We're just going to do it.
Seriously, the India Young Professionals Scheme visa Mess of a phrase.
Allows Indian citizens between 18 and 30 to live and work in the UK for up to two years.
And to get in, there's a set of eligibility requirements, of course, and they're very, very strict.
Right.
You have to be Indian, tick, 18 to 30.
That's not the hardest thing in the world.
You have to be 18.
Well, you've already said that, so I don't really know what the point in that, whatever.
You have to have a bachelor's degree.
Which is horrific.
I mean, the process to get a bachelor's degree in India, I have been told, is like finding diamonds in a cow's anus.
It's impossible.
It's like finding dung in a cow's anus.
I mean, I managed to get a bachelor's degree by playing pool and going to the pub.
Yeah, it's piss-easy in the West.
I imagine how piss-easy it is in India.
Yes.
Well, I can actually believe it's more vigorous than here, but that won't say much.
I really don't.
I mean, I remember I watched Winston talk about China, which is just another place where, oh my God, but you need a visa.
Sorry, a degree.
And he was talking about his medical students when they were taking their exams.
They were allowed a textbook in the exam.
That would help.
Yeah.
A little bit.
Yes.
So, I don't know.
I don't trust the rest of the world.
I don't even trust our own world's ability to determine who is actually skilled or not by got a degree.
Yeah.
I mean, we went over this previously actually with a lady in that segment there, where she was saying, well, I've got two master's degree and I still can't make any money.
It's like, yeah.
It's almost like these things are bollocks.
Anyway, getting on.
So, a bachelor's degree, you're 18, you're Indian, and you have a whopping £2,530 in your account.
For two years.
You can come here for two years.
Right.
Funnily, are you doing the math?
Calculate, yes.
How many pennies a day they have to live off.
Two, five, three.
Zero divided by 365 times two.
And we'll get the amount per day that this Indian person has got to live off. £3.46.
Not lower?
Eh, I thought it'd be even lower.
But there we are.
Yes.
If you can live off £3.36, you're allowed to come to the UK.
Great.
Thankfully, this is limited to 3,000 applicants per year.
So that's the upside.
But of course... What?
Why?
Is that per civil servant, or...?
No, but my point...
Why does this exist, ever?
It's such a symptomatic failure.
We're just going to agree to 3,000 more Indians every year who can come here and work because they've got two and a half grand in their bank account.
Who thinks like that?
Who honestly goes into a department to do government legislation or public policy and comes up with that?
And more to the point, I mean, this will be an example.
There's probably thousands of other schemes out there for, you know, if you are... We don't have a corrupt way to break into our country.
I don't know, if you're from... Oh, I don't know, the Afghan resettlement scheme.
Well, it turns out we had about five times as many interpreters as we paid.
The Sri Lankan clubfoot and brown eyes scheme or something.
There would just be like hundreds of these, weren't there?
Yeah, it turns out we owed a debt to the entire Afghan females football team.
So we flew them all out and their families and their coach.
And then someone went to Kabul and interviewed the coach that we just flown out.
Turns out he never left.
And we gave him a list of all the girls that were flown out.
And he said, none of them are on the team.
Yeah, my point being, the absolute status.
But don't worry, it's a fair and honest thing in which the people who negotiated this totally don't just want more Indians.
No, no, no, they want a fair and honest dealing.
I mean, to be fair, you don't get to immigration of 1.2 million in a year without a lot of effort to do stuff like this.
Of course, this is just a symptomatic thing that I'm pointing out.
But don't worry, it's completely fair because, of course, we agree to the same terms with the Indians.
3,000 of our boys can go out there if they've got a bachelor's degree and two and a half grand to their name.
Now funnily enough that might take them a bit further than in the UK.
The only thing is I don't think that's really fair because nobody's going to India.
I don't know if you noticed, I don't know if you've ever seen an immigration graph.
There's the UK one.
Yes.
Of our sources and exports.
None of us go there.
I spent a couple of months out there once, helping a finance business out there, doing a bit of business consultancy.
And you end up fleeing.
Well, I mean, it was an interesting experience to sort of see the place.
I mean, you kind of understand.
I do like traveling.
I do like seeing other places.
Oh, who doesn't?
Yeah, so it was valuable.
But I mean, I was more than happy to move on after a while.
But I'm just looking at where do English people move to.
It's not India.
I wouldn't move there to live.
I was there for a purpose.
I'd like to see the numbers, if it exists somewhere, about how many of those places were actually taken up.
Because the 3,000th in the UK, we know all 3,000 every year are going to be taken up.
How many is the Indian side?
I'd love to see it.
But anyway, there we are.
I can't tell you what happened in December mostly because I'm not there.
But we can look at something that happened at the start of it and the symptomatic consequences.
There we are.
Hope you're having a good time.
I hope none of our predictions came true.
They probably did.
Probably best.
Oh, John's whispering to me.
Apparently we need to... It's a happy new year as well.
Happy new year, boys.
Yes, happiness and festive spirits.
And if you're American, I hope you're enjoying your second Christmas of the year.
If you're everybody else, I hope you're enjoying your main Christmas.
You know, smile at granny, have some wine.
God, I'd love to be a Russian who's living in America because then you get three Christmases.
It'd be fantastic.
Oh, yes, because they've got the Orthodox thing.
Yeah, you get New Year's, you get Christian Christmas, then you get Orthodox Christmas.
Yes.
And you got New Year's as well, which is a mental case for them.
Yes.
Anyway, we're out of time.
But if you'd, if you like us, I think there's a website.
I don't know the name, so you'll have to sort of like Google around.
It's an anagram of eatuslotus.com and you'll find something one day, I'm sure.
LotusEaters.com, isn't it?
No.
