Time Text
- Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seaters, and today I'm joined by two hate crime champions.
We have Harry Miller and of course Carl Benjamin.
Just an amateur.
Harry's the champ.
I'm the pro.
This is The Apprentice.
I'm the prize fighter.
Yeah, people who don't know what we're talking about, Harry was just telling us how he went on a hate crime champion course, and you came top, you won, you exposed it as basically being full of bollocks.
Staffordshire Police made the mistake of putting out a call for hate crime champions, so I applied, of course I applied.
And the idiots let me on.
I love hate crime!
So about three or four weeks ago, I turned up at Staffordshire Police Headquarters with ten other people, presumably all from Staffordshire, and we were subjected to six hours of being taught what a hate crime was.
It was quite interesting because they didn't know what a crime was, so quite how they were able to tell us what a hate crime was, Is anybody's guess.
But we were taught that there are 150 types of unconscious bias, all of which are bad.
I sort of went out of limits and said, are you sure that all of them are bad?
And I gave the example, I said, let's just take a woman who's walking down a dark street at night.
And she hears footsteps, and her unconscious bias recognizes those footsteps as being the footsteps of a male.
So what she does, she acts on her unconscious bias and takes precautionary action to get herself away from the unknown male.
Surely that is an example, is it not, of good unconscious bias.
We were told that that was akin to racism, because how she reacted to those male footprints... I'm sorry, did they assume that those male footprints were from a black man?
Yeah, they said it's the same as if she'd seen a black man.
That's what she said, a black person.
So it was akin to race.
Same as if she'd seen a black man, because she'd assumed that she was in more danger by a male than by a female.
as transmitted through the footsteps, it was the same as if she'd seen a black person and had taken the same sort of precautionary action.
So protecting yourself as a woman is akin to racism, according to the hate crime champion teachers of Staffordshire Police.
Weirdly, I actually don't care if protecting myself is akin to racism.
I don't think anyone should be like, oh, well, I was going to take precautions, but I didn't want to be a racist.
No, no, no.
Take any precautions you need.
It's your life.
Of course, we do it all the time, don't we?
We do.
We make, we make risk assessments all the time and we make them not consciously.
Therefore, we are making them unconsciously.
And then we take actions based upon that internal decision making, and very often it saves us from very tricky situations.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all.
Apart from anything else, it's human.
It's how human beings have been so successful.
We recognize danger, we recognize opportunity, and we recognize danger instinctively, and we act upon it.
Why are we giving the guy following a woman down a dark alley the benefit of the doubt?
Just out of interest in this hypothetical?
Well, that's the ideology, isn't it?
So if you can't discriminate, what does the word discriminate mean?
Well, it actually means to be able to tell the difference, as well as to make decisions on that difference.
And if you literally can't tell the difference, then you're not allowed to understand the difference between a threat of a man or a woman behind you.
And yeah, you just have to take the risk.
Sorry, it's all went very, very badly.
When in the afternoon we were given a stellar performance on YouTube by a chap called George the Poet who told us what a hate crime was through the medium of rap.
It was fantastic because I remember it starts off by saying the defining characteristic of a hate crime is not hate.
The defining characteristic of a hate crime is prejudice.
There is the violence is silence and silence in the violence.
See what I'm doing there, right?
All right, it's like my sort of impression.
And then they made the mistake, then they made the mistake of asking us what we thought.
Now, most of the hate crime, the prospective hate crime champions, they were all sort of dewy-eyed as though they'd just listened to Martin Luther King or something.
And they got to me and said, Harry, what do you think?
I said, do you really want to know?
And they said, well, yeah, absolutely.
I thought it was complete, utter, unmitigated bollocks and entirely unworthy of anything in a so-called hate crimes champions club, particularly one at Staffordshire Police Headquarters.
Now, at that point, I think my true identity was revealed.
I was rumbled, widely mocked.
And they said to me, the problem is, Harry, you think you know more than the trainers.
And I said, that's because I do.
Yeah.
That's worrying.
That's worrying, yes.
Now the good news is that the following day when I tweeted about it, I think we had about 1.2 million views within 24 hours, and Staffordshire Police abandoned their hate crime champion score.
So, yeah, a little victory there.
We've got to take it where we find them, Carl, don't we?
I agree.
Every victory adds up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
I'm going to see if I can re-infiltrate some more.
Yeah, I am.
Good luck.
Different glasses.
They're too damn stupid to realise.
That's the problem.
Just put different glasses on.
Different glasses, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Switch moustaches and that'll do.
So today we'll be talking about the last progressive on Earth.
We have found her.
She's holding out.
No farmers, no food and also hurting yourself in confusion, which seems to be a running theme.
A lot of people.
But let's begin, shall we, with the last progressive on Earth.
She's been hiding, but we found her.
Oh!
She was in Saddam Hussein's cave, presumably.
And we've dug her up, and she's come out to join Konstantin Kissin and Matthew Goodwin and Aaron Bastani here.
My favourite right winger.
Indeed, to have a chat about is immigration good for Britain?
Now, this was a debate that's set up in London, and of course, we're pretty familiar, I would imagine, with Constantine Kissin and Matt Goodwin's positions.
They're pretty standard stock, so I didn't want to... It would have been nice to sit here and be like, you know, yeah, that's a great point, but... But we all talk about them all day every day.
We agree with everything they're saying.
So I didn't want to waste my time with that, although I will say Konstantin has uploaded his 7 minutes of pure flax logic to his channel, because of course he has.
The thing I love about Konstantin is the bluntness with his points.
So he mentions, for example, that the number of illegals in this country is not considered shocking now, but the number of illegals coming to this country each year was the number of legals when he came to the country.
That's how much things have changed.
Also, they're arguing about, oh man, you need foreigners to do blah, blah, blah.
And he's like, well, if I have the option of hiring cheap foreigners or raising the wage of the British workers, which one am I going to go for?
It's just boring.
Like the nonsensical mustard gas that is leftist thinking.
He just cuts through.
But it's not for him today.
Matthew Goodwin, can you guess what he did?
He just pulled up graphs.
Sensible points?
Well, no, he mostly just pulled up graphs in speech form.
Right.
He's just making the point, for example, is this one.
The position of lowering immigration is about as centrist as you could get.
The only places on this graph of Britain where it's not a popular opinion are like the most densely urban areas of the country.
Sorry, is that Swindon that is a dark red?
Uh, I'm not sure.
Trying to remember my geography.
Just a little bit to the left.
Might be.
Left?
Left.
Down there.
That's Bristol.
No, no, Bristol's on the coast, isn't it?
No.
What?
What?
Whatever.
Bristol's not on the coast, is it?
Not quite, is it?
Bristol's... isn't it?
British... British education at its finest!
I've been in South West for a long time.
Local man doesn't know where he is.
All right, moving on.
We shall move instead to the speech.
I mean, I don't know where I am either.
So here we are.
This is the lady on there.
This is the last progressive because Constantine and Matthew, they're doing the traditional thing.
And then Aaron Bastani has recently started to think about his child's future.
So he's become a right winger.
Which is rather weird to look at.
It is.
At least on these issues.
This lady, Polly.
Now, Polly is still living in the Blairite progressive world.
So I thought we'd just listen to some of her speeches, because it's interesting to see what is the genuine opinion of these people at this point.
Bristol's not on the coast.
Indeed.
It's on an estuary.
Yeah, that's why I thought it was on the coast, yeah.
Sorry, right, Karen.
Education.
My geographic knowledge is superb, thank you.
Let's have a listen to this, shall we?
Nope, no we shan't, because it's not bloody working.
Right, I shall refresh and then we'll be able to listen to it, hopefully.
If the Lotus Caesars internet will hold out.
Experiment.
I mean, you only have to imagine what would happen if we expelled everybody who wasn't born in Britain.
I mean, the NHS, social care...
Schools, universities, council services, cleaning, catering, caring, nurseries, trains, buses, agriculture, deliveries, taxes, IT systems.
We certainly wouldn't be going to build new towns and a huge increase in housing because if we didn't have those skilled construction workers that we fail to train at home.
Only 14% of the population are migrants, people not born here, but that's quite enough to collapse all of society.
That 40% really does keep us all going.
Nothing would work in the private or in the public sector.
But the vast majority of that very large number of migrants are here because we want them.
Because our elected government has given well over 600,000 of them visas in the last year because we have important work for them to do.
Students, for instance.
A large number of that total sum are students who sustain our universities, which couldn't do without them.
So what's the reason for all of this immigration?
It's our own failing as a society.
If we wanted to stop it, we have to stop needing others to do all this work for us.
And how would we do that?
By paying good enough rates for this work to attract British people to do these jobs.
Pay decent social care pay rewards.
Where do you start with that?
pays decent wages with a decent career structure, and that's expensive.
It would cost us.
We would have to pay for that.
Migrants are cheaper because we do need those people because we fail to invest enough in our own.
Thank you very much.
Where do you start with that?
How can anyone believe what she believes?
This is the thing.
I've taken this because this is a steel man of the final defense of mass immigration.
She's the only person representative of that era of British politics.
She used to be a columnist all throughout the Tony Blair era, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, and still is now basically a jittery old woman.
And she now believes that buses can't function unless we have migrants.
The internet?
The internet will be turned off.
I, I, the universities will collapse.
Houses will just pancake.
Yeah.
Well, there's a number of issues here.
One of the issues is this, that you talk about the Blairite society as though it's in the past.
We've had a Blairite government since 1997.
We've just changed the color of the door.
That's all that's happened.
Secondly, she said, what would happen if we expelled everybody who wasn't born in Britain?
I don't know of anybody that suggested that.
No, but I'm glad that's on the table.
I'm really not sure that anybody's, anybody's advocating for that. - Oh, they locked.
In case you were wondering, the question of the order was, is immigration good for Britain?
And she just went with, expel them all.
So that is the position.
The sensible position, I'm Mr Normal on this, I think, we've had this debate before actually, I think some immigration is good.
And I think it's down to the government to set what is a good level of immigration based on the democratic will of the people.
Give or take.
And then enforce the bloody thing.
That seems to me to be it.
Why can't we do that?
Why is that?
Why is that wrong?
And of course, that is not rounding up everybody who wasn't born in Britain and putting them on a plane to Rwanda or whatever it is.
It's not that.
This is a straw man.
This is a straw man argument.
It's way outside of what he's talking about.
I guess I'm a lot more hardline on immigration, so I'm just like, right.
We've had 25 years of unfettered immigration because of the Blair-Wright order.
Yeah.
That means we've taken in about 15 million new people who are now here.
It might actually be reasonable to look at the state of the country after doing that and then assess whether we need any more people.
Because it seems to me that the services are failing, the house prices are through the roof, wages are all depressed because of the number of people who have come in.
And so what we should just do is just simply end the inflow.
You're correct.
Just end the inflow.
I agree.
The problem sort of starts sorting itself out, because there is an outflow as well.
So if we can sort of normalize the levels of people who actually want to be here, rather than people who are just taking advantage, then this is a problem that will, in a few years, have solved itself.
And we don't have to actually, as Polly recommends, round up every foreigner and deport them.
We actually don't have to do that.
So that's the position.
The other thing, which I agree on, that if we put a cap on foreign students, Then a lot of the universities would collapse.
Now, that would be a very good thing.
Yes.
That would be an excellent thing.
In a previous life, I taught at university.
I was a lecturer at university.
And on one of the courses, I remember I was teaching research methodology, level six research methodologies.
People who were about to write their dissertations, their thesis, etc.
And I was teaching it to a cohort of Chinese students who didn't understand English.
They had wonderful names that they'd adopted, like Postbox and Jewelry, because they imagined that these were typically British names.
Well, British words.
British words.
And I was expected to teach them research methodology.
It was utterly, utterly impossible.
So what we ended up doing was spoon-feeding them everything.
Decreasing the pass mark to a negligible extent, and the reason for that was without the students, you wouldn't be getting the funding, and the university, the college and school would collapse or shrink.
Well, good!
Good, good.
I tell you what, I have never, I have never felt so much as a fraud as I did teaching those courses.
Because those people should not have been there, the organisation should not have encouraged them to be there, and what they achieved in the end was entirely fraudulent.
They did not have a degree that was worth anything whatsoever.
Why?
Because they didn't understand a word of what we've been saying.
So I agree with Paul, I agree with her on that.
To back you up, because I've spoken about this in my own experience, yeah, the university system is a fraud system at this point, but either Matthew Goodwin, I don't have the clip, but he gets up after she said this and says, as a university lecturer, it would be good if half our universities went extinct.
There's a massive overproduction of academic work that just goes unread, complete It's not even about that for him.
It's exactly on Harry's point.
The vast majority of academic work is now not even the typing of nonsense documents.
It's fraud.
We just scam foreigners, we charge them £36,000 or whatever a term, and in return give them a degree they don't deserve.
And it's not just foreigners as well.
I used to get what little hair I have cut at a nice barber's in Grimsby.
and uh lovely lovely girl there and one day she was missing and i was chatting to the owner and um i said oh where's so-and-so so she she's left and said all right why is that though she said well she just got her degree in criminology from the university of grimsby yeah and um she's now going to go off and be a criminologist i said oh
Really she got an offer she said well no no but you know she's got the degree and um she's now going to go off and uh catch serial killers do psychological profiling of serial killers as you do as you do and I said look I'm not being funny but she's going to be but keep keep her chair available because she's going to be back she'll be back because nobody's hiring Nobody's hiring criminologists from Grimsby University with a 2-2 or whatever it is.
My wife did basically exactly the same thing.
And then afterwards she learned that there's something like a 10 to 1 applicants to vacancy issue.
Ratio.
Yeah, yeah, ratio.
Because actually searching for serial killers is actually not a growth industry.
It's not.
Weirdly.
It's actually really unusual to have serial killers.
And actually it doesn't take that many people to track them down.
But back to the last.
But they're a popular thing because of pop culture.
And so lots of people go into it thinking, oh, I'll do that.
It's like.
The universities lie though because they put big billboards up that say, come and sign on here and have your dreams fulfilled.
Your dreams will come true if you just join a criminology degree at Grimsby Technology College.
Because we're here for money.
Yes, it's a lie.
It's one of the foreigners.
It's an absolute lie.
The foreigners are the important one because they give us the most money if you're a university.
That's why I mentioned them.
But back to the main point she mentions, which is the overarching speech that she has, the actual position of the Blairite world, which is still in power, even if it's creaking to its death, is that you're useless.
You as an ethnic group cannot even run a bus without us, the 14% who turned up in the last 10 years.
I mean, it's just... They come from countries that don't have the infrastructure we have, come here and build our infrastructure out of the goodness of their hearts, and if they leave, Britain just collapses into dust.
And this continues because there are some other clips.
I mean, this one's hilarious, where she just basically argues that, well, without immigrants, your taxes would be high.
Matt, the day I see you advocate the sort of costs it would take to establish this cultural Britishness...
I mean, I agree and Aaron agrees as well.
If you can really produce high quality training, education for everybody in this country so they can fill all those jobs to the absolute best standards, hooray, good on you.
But I've yet to see you advocating very high taxes and much greater equality in pay all the way through society.
Matt, the Matt, I've yet to see you being a communist.
Yeah, what a surprise.
Also the implication there, without the high immigration, we would have high taxes.
We have high taxes now.
We have the highest taxes since the war.
Zavor.
Like, we lost the empire.
Excuse me, excuse me.
As a Staffordshire police hate crime champion, I just need to give you a yellow card.
A yellow card there.
German accent.
Because that German accent was not acceptable.
I apologise for my country's conduct during Zavor.
Are we off now?
But this goes on.
I mean, just as a quick thing as well, that is just preposterous.
I love the idea that, oh, well, we can't train British people, but we can train the foreigners.
It's like, sorry, are we not?
Is there a two tier system?
What's going on?
I mean, if our system is good enough to train the foreigners, why isn't it good enough to train the British people?
Because it's set up to hurt us.
One of the statistics we found out a while back is the number of dentists which are paid for by the British state.
So we subsidize dentists, the training of them, right?
Then they pay us back in loans, but it's a bit subsidized because it's a state system.
Now, that's a fixed number.
That fixed number has been there since the 2000s.
Yeah.
The matter of the increase in the population, we haven't increased the number of dentists we're willing to pay for as a state.
So... That explains your waiting times.
There's a massive dereliction of British dentists, because we literally don't pay for them.
And instead, the government now tells us, well that's why we're reliant on the foreign ones.
No.
The reliance was the initial figure not being increased in line with the population.
This just isn't that difficult.
It's the same in the NHS.
About 30% of doctors are foreign born.
It's like, okay, but about 25 to 30% of the population are foreign born.
Tells you nothing.
If the population just wasn't being expanded every year by the Conservative Party, the demand wouldn't be there.
I won't play this because we don't have the time, but it's a funny one where Matthew Goodwin lists that, well, take this guy who engaged in an acid attack after being denied asylum twice and then was granted it, and then after committing sexual assault and then committed the acid attack.
And then he goes on to argue that obviously acid attacks aren't a very Western European thing, but they are quite modern now, especially in the UK.
And her response is that we shouldn't make arguments on the case of anecdote.
Is that an anecdote?
It's the per capita meme.
She's pushing it up like she doesn't understand that maybe acid attacks aren't very British.
But even then, okay, this is one example case, which I don't think you would necessarily call an anecdote, because anecdote implies unsupported by evidence.
But then we can always just look at the statistics and see, since immigration, acid attacks have gone up.
Weird that.
So I'll tell you this last one though some some good news because you have all four of these people here and three of them are basically on the same side of this practically.
Aaron's obviously what he is but he still is getting the message it needs to be lower.
Polly is the last offender of this and she gave a final speech and the audience is just laughing at her by the end of it.
I mean the very idea that we might leave the ECHR is so appalling that we would put ourselves into Into being a pariah state.
Haven't we learned our lessons from Brexit?
What happens?
But the idea that we should continue to break away from old alliances and old agreements seems to me to be grotesque and deeply, deeply mistaken.
And if it's just because of immigration, if that's what it was that caused Brexit, Well, that didn't work out at all well, did it?
What is she saying?
Because so much of the campaign was really about that.
Is someone heckling her at the end there?
Well, I love this.
Oh, yes.
Because the Conservatives didn't do Brexit well, as in you thought Brexit was going to lower immigration, but actually the Conservatives just threw open the borders even wider, then nothing can change in the future.
It's like, well, we didn't expect them to actually stab us in the back.
But I think she is just, I hate to be maybe a bit personal, but she is just a perfect visualization of this old world order that is now dying, dead, and out of the way.
I mean, this old woman telling you that your eyesight is wrong when she's got bad eyesight herself.
Because I just went back and checked out her history.
Because this person, I didn't recognize her that much, but I do recognize this image.
Yeah.
Because this used to be one of the stock standard images for the fake Guardian articles that used to be made before it got copyright struck by the Guardian.
Yeah.
So this is her writing in 2024 there.
The Tories have sucked the joy out of the education system, blah, blah, blah.
But that's not important.
What's important is you remember that meme.
Because if we go back to her history, she's been writing nonsense for years.
I mean, this is back in 1998.
25 years.
Yeah, she's arguing that the feminists should stand with Bill Clinton.
Please ignore what just happened.
Really?
Yes, it's very strange.
And then she spent her time... Feminists for sex offenders.
She spent her time then whining, this one being the racist poison pill article 23 years ago.
This one's funny.
She writes here, with great finesse, the minister suggests that foreign doctors, quote, can be fatal.
Patients are suffering at their hands, and this is an issue of patient safety.
She's saying that minister is a racist person for saying that maybe lowering the standards on doctor will lead to death.
Which it did, obviously.
20 odd years of that, thanks for that.
1999, how I learned to stop worrying and love racial awareness training.
Right.
Fantastic.
So she was fully pro-woke before woke was even a thing.
Exactly.
Incredible.
I love this.
We're regularly defending ourselves against allegations by a conservative government, a hostile Tory press, and the BBC was a pinko lefty nest of subversives.
Which it is.
Yeah, I mean, how do you defend yourself from that allegation?
Yeah, well, it is.
It's obviously true.
It is.
But the most revealing aspect of her history, from what I found, is that, looking at this, back in 2005, it was still the land in which the left would argue that mass immigration is a tool of the capitalist class to keep our brother down.
But now we need them to pour our Pratt.
I'll read her quotes.
She says the Home Office says that a 1% increase in immigration yields up to a 1.5% increase in GDP.
Bercow and the Labour Party hotly assert that migrants don't take jobs from British workers, nor depress wages.
She then writes that there's no actual evidence for this.
Mike?
Yeah, this is her once upon a time.
Migrants add to the profits of the companies and thus the GDP.
They keep down the cost of flying for wealthy people enough to fly.
They also hold down the pay rate for all other low-paid workers, keeping wage inflation remarkably low and the Bank of England very happy.
Preach!
Queen!
Yeah.
So she's basically an out-and-out capitalist then, is she?
She is, yeah.
She used to be like an old left there.
Here is her, once upon a time, 20 or 5 years ago, whatever, and then now, of course the Tories will say they're going to stop migrants like students, carers and nurses.
Don't you know they're all high-skilled people who contribute to society?
Lady?
Lady?
What?
Really?
That's all it took?
She used to be correct on this issue.
Yeah, she now argues that those people coming en masse won't depress wages because actually we need them and without them we can't even drive a bus.
But that really does show you the finesse of the left in this.
They're like, yeah, no, no, no, no, we're going to get you from being opposed to big business to singing their praises and opposing those racists who think that actually maybe there shouldn't be mass competition for wages in Britain.
You're going to come to the position that the entire country will simply collapse if you don't have infinite foreign labour.
So I this is also just a perfect example again to be kind of personal but it's it's so perfect of a person that who went from a position in which you could argue they're like for the masses or whatever to try and save them from their wages for example to of the elite I mean a lot of people have commented how it's strange going from the Bush years to now how the left became this utterly elitist rich club instead and I mean her personally I mean, not only in her writing, her private life seems to be incredibly going well.
So this is Guido, because I didn't know about her personal life, so I went and looked up Guido, and they say here that she owns three homes, so that might have something to do with her liking mass immigration, because it's, you know, punishing up the house prices.
Suddenly I need the foreign labor to clean my three homes!
One of the homes is apparently a villa in Tuscany, Also, reporting at the time, this is 2011, she was earning £111,000, which in today's money is £181,000.
thousand pounds.
So yes, becoming incredibly rich does seem to be a real meme that left-wingers will sit there and talk about the masses and their wages until their Patreon goes up a certain amount.
And then they'll put on the monocle and be like, I'm for capitalism now.
This is the Gary Lineker effect though, isn't it?
Absolutely.
How much does Gary Lineker?
Billions.
1.7 million from the BBC.
1.7 million from the BBC.
Just a few hours' work.
Now, does he think, does he genuinely think that his labour is that much more valuable than one of the NHS workers who he so-called champions?
Do you think he does think that?
He must.
I mean, otherwise he wouldn't accept such a high wage.
In which case, he's an out-and-out extreme capitalist.
Yeah, redistribute some of that wealth to the NHS, I think.
You would think so, wouldn't you?
But I don't understand how these super-rich earners can align themselves at all with any form of socialism.
Because they cannot say that their labour is worth 10 times, 20 times, 100 times more than the person who serves them at a shop or who drives the ambulance or works at the NHS.
Well, the secret is they can't do it.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what it is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I absolutely loathe these champagne socialists.
Absolutely, absolutely loathe them because they don't understand what socialism is, for one thing.
Or they do understand that it's just for the poor people.
I think that's more like it.
And, um, I can't stand champagne either, so there we go.
This is why I say she's the last progressive, because it was the progressives who brought in the Blairite era.
And so what's the end state of the regime?
Well, it's a bunch of old rich people sitting around talking about how, well, they've done well, so the plebs should just shut up.
And it's like, right.
Thank you, comrade.
Much, much good.
The problem that we have, and this is a serious problem, is that with the new definition of extremism that we have now, We are in great danger, you know, Carl, of being classed as extremist because what we're doing is, if you look at if you look at Polly Toynbee and go, you know, she's she is the epitome of Britishness.
She's got a long career of upholding great British values.
Now, extremism, as it's now recently been defined by Michael Gove, is anything that challenges that?
So I think you and I are in grave danger.
Particularly Callum.
Yeah, particularly Callum, of being rounded up as extremists.
Entirely possible.
I think it's very possible, and I say that without my tongue firmly in my cheek.
I think it's what's likely to happen.
Ronald Reagan said that we're only one generation away from tyranny, and it's absolutely true.
And we're watching it, we're watching our freedoms slide down the drain.
Inch by inch by crazy inch.
Well, honestly, what I find remarkable about it is every single conservative manifesto, they're like, yeah, we're going to get immigration down to the tens of thousands.
That would be incredible if they did that.
That's all I'm asking them to do, because then the outflow would be hundreds of thousands and that would solve the immigration problem in the United Kingdom.
Well, as you said, allowing skilled workers who we actually do want to come here to come, but those people who don't want to be here to leave.
That would solve the problem.
That was the Conservative Manifesto.
That's what people have been voting for.
That's all I'm asking for.
And now Michael Gove, a member of the Conservative Party, Conservative government, is going to criminalise me, outlaw me, for asking for the things they've been promising for 20 years.
Yeah, and there is no consensus of what a British value is.
We all have a sense of fair play and warm beer and all the rest of it.
But is being double-vaxxed a British value now?
Is it?
I don't know.
Conservative.
Exactly, exactly.
So, if you're a skeptic of such things, does that make you an extremist?
Well, under this current definition, yes, it does, because the people in power will define what a British value is, and it will be a value which suits them, and anybody who goes against it are, in effect, borderline terrorists, because they fit Under the category of extremism.
I was chatting to Claire Page yesterday.
Claire Page is the great mom who is demanding to see, via Freedom of Information, the stuff that's being taught to our children in school.
And she was telling me that under this new definition of extremism, If a bunch of concerned parents get together and do a letter, agree on the wording of a letter, and they all individually send it, that is now classed as extreme harassment.
This is not campaigning anymore.
This is now extremism.
It's not even mild harassment.
No, this is an example of the sort of extremism that the police are going to be cracking down on.
Coordinated action that runs against a narrative will now be seen as extremism and it will give license to the police to crack down upon it.
I'm fully expecting this place to be raided at some point.
I mean, you've got the police next door, haven't you?
The British Transport Police.
Yeah, but they've always been really nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They pretend they're being nice.
Until they're not.
Until they're not, yeah.
Anyway, let's move on.
So, I think we're all going to starve to death in the near future.
Oh boy!
Because of brilliant decisions that the government is making.
I'm trying to keep positive!
We're not.
My missus has got us.
She's a bit of a hoarder is my missus, so... That's good.
Yeah, yeah.
A bit of a prepper, I think the term is, isn't it?
A bit of a prepper.
She says she's not.
She says she's not a prepper.
But I think she is a bit of a prepper, because we've got, like, tons of kind of stuff that you find on programs like The Walking Dead.
Good, because you know me.
In the store cupboard, so... So, I'm going to go through some things, because there's a bit of a confluence of events happening at the moment in Britain, which don't seem to be good news.
The first one is that we've had the wettest winter on record.
And what this has done is left 135 of the hydrological areas of Britain flooded.
And so you've probably seen, if you've driven around the country, waterlogged fields.
Now, waterlogged fields are actually not good because this means you can't plant crops in them.
And if you do plant crops in them, the crops can't grow because the roots effectively drown.
So we are told.
Sorry at all, I don't know how farming works.
Can't go in groud?
Food come out?
Yeah, but I don't know... I'm just saying I'm not the source of that information.
But this is a massive issue, apparently.
And at the beginning of this month, this was still a huge problem.
And you get people like Peter Gardner here, who's a Norfolk farmer, said, look, we don't know what to do.
80% of my grazing marshes with cattle went underwater in probably a six or seven day period.
Most of the arable land didn't flood, but it was too wet to do anything with.
That's not great, right?
And so you've got other farmers who, again, this is just a month ago, one farmer called Henry Morton here said, look, I only got 25% of the winter crops planted this winter.
Our yields, he says, are going to be appalling.
Yeah.
Which is not good, actually, when you think about it.
Did you watch Clarkson's Farm?
Uh, yeah.
It's a great series, and I think it's 2020 is when the first series is, and they had the same situation, the mass... Yeah, but this is the worst that it's ever been.
Yeah, I'm just saying that the thing that was surprising about that one that really opened your eyes to how bad it was, there was one guy, his entire farm was underwater.
Yeah.
And there's just his house in the middle.
Yeah.
One of the problems we have here, though, again, is Britain has always suffered weather.
I mean, we are defined by our weather.
Rain should not surprise us.
But we used to have a thing called floodplains.
We used to have floodplains.
And what's happened is that greedy developers have built upon them.
That's what's happened.
And so now there is nowhere for the water.
You combined that with a lack of drainage, with the Environment Agency not doing their job.
They're so busy LGBTQI in the countryside and calling it racist that they haven't bothered actually draining the drains.
My wife is actually on the local council and they don't spend the money they used to spend cleaning the drains.
So drains becoming blocked is the problem and is why so much of the water apparently isn't draining away.
And so anyway, this is just bad but it's Something that we have made for ourselves.
Again, this is the worst year ever for flooding, but that doesn't mean that it's inevitable that things are always flooded.
This means that the crops are, of course, utterly decimated.
And so it comes to British farmers making rational decisions considering the position that they're in.
So, for example, the Mirror tells us that British farmers will plant a million less apple trees this year as the industry is ravaged by inflation, labour shortages, climate change and cheap supermarket prices.
And so landowners across the country are digging up their orchards as apple production becomes financially unviable.
Apparently they're going to, instead of planting between 1 and 1.5 million trees every year, they're going to plant 500,000.
And since then they've cancelled a third of those.
So you're going to have to get foreign apples in the supermarkets.
So let's hope nothing happens to the supply chains.
Because that would be bad.
So the government is doing everything they can to stop farmers growing food.
Here's the Sustainable Farming Incentive Guidance.
Now, you might say, well, what's this?
Isn't sustainable farming a good idea?
And it's like, look, we've lived here for 1,500 years and never had a problem growing things out of the ground.
Why is it in the year of our Lord, this was 2022, the Conservative government rocks up with their experts and says, hey guys, I see you're not getting stuff out of the ground.
No, that's not the problem.
The problem is that this is actually a green scheme to try and take farmland out of usage by the farmers.
So this is, Stephen Holt gives this interview for the Times, but the point that they make is that these are going to be environmental schemes to take large areas of land out of food production.
And so Stephen Holt is one of the farmers who signed up to it.
Because he has no choice.
Economically, he is being forced into a position where the only way to be able to continue to have this as a career is to accept the government money.
And so he says, look, the huge danger, in my view, is there will be severe contraction in the domestic agricultural output.
We are not helping, but we can't have the whole food system of the UK on our shoulders because everyone has to act in their individual best interest.
Obviously.
You can't be like, well, I'm just going to keep growing those apples because otherwise everyone's going to starve and I'll just go broke doing it.
You can't do that, right?
And then you've got the devolved governments.
For example, Wales.
Wales are making brilliant decisions.
The local Welsh government has decided that 20% of farming land must be forfeited for tree planting and wildlife habitation.
So one-fifth of farmland in Wales is to be repurposed so that wildlife can live there.
I used to be an avid listener of The Archers until they started coming out with all this absolute drivel about rewilding and all that sort of stuff.
I stopped listening when the gay couple in The Archers Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I had a real problem when they used one of their local agricultural workers, a Romanian woman, to rent her womb and have a baby.
At that point, I was like, this is just sick.
Yeah, but the Archer's has long, long been the BBC propaganda arm for this sort of nonsense.
And I think it's done absolutely by design.
I think that we don't need to believe in the horrendous climate change forecasts.
We just need to look at what we've done to our floodplains.
Look at what we've done to our drainage systems, and then look at this absolute nonsense around a so-called green agenda, which stops British farmers actually growing food, the thing that they're good at.
I mean, let's just take for the sake of the argument, That climate change is exactly as they describe it to be.
OK, well, there are things we can do about it.
And I don't think that repurposing a small amount of a fifth of Welsh farmland is going to stop climate change.
I think that's going to be the thing.
Finally, lads, we've saved the world.
It's not going to change the Chinese pumping out God knows how much and blah blah blah, right?
Well, the statistical reality is the UK produces less than 1% of global emissions.
Yeah.
So literally if we wiped ourselves off the earth, nothing changes.
Yeah.
So in which case the best thing we can do is actually just find ways to grow more food because we don't actually produce enough food to feed ourselves at any time.
So why would we turn off one fifth of the farmland in Wales?
Possibly stop importing millions of people who also need food.
Anyway, so as you can see, they're going to take a fifth of the land in Wales, farmland in Wales, for tree planting and wildlife habitation, which is a fantastic idea.
I mean, this critic here, this local parliamentarian says, well, look, once again, Labour's approach is top down blanket rules, just like the 20 mile an hour speed limit mandate.
So, yeah, but how could it possibly go wrong?
Well, turns out we've actually got a massive problem with the sheer number of deer in this country.
Uh, nobody thought about this, but actually, okay, we've got deer.
We don't hunt them and we don't have any natural predators for them.
At least not enough big cats yet.
Uh, and this means that in the 1970s, there were 450,000.
Now there are somewhere between one and a half and 2 million.
And so what this does is causes damage to crops, to woodlands, to trees and et cetera, et cetera.
It's okay.
So the deer are going to also damage the crops.
That's great.
That's another thing on the scale of anti-food production.
Not good.
That's great.
We'll go and hunt them.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm all for us having like some sort of hunting season to cull the number of deer.
I'd love to get venison in the supermarket.
That'd be wonderful.
I agree.
But anyway, so what's the government doing?
Well, it's actually just paying farmers to leave farming.
You're a farmer?
Want to get a lump sum payment from the government to get out of farming?
It's good for the environment, you know?
So that's actually not the rationale, as far as we can tell, because they don't actually give any rationale as to why you're doing this.
But various farming websites will say things like, well, it seems that the government is trying to create a turnaround in the age of the farmers because they're complaining that, well, the average age of a farmer is 60.
We want to get more young people into farming.
So if we pay the farmers to retire, then we can younger, quote, progressive farmers will be in occupation and control of the land.
But what does this mean?
So they actually use the word progressive.
They do.
But what does this mean?
I mean, is this about diversifying the farmland ownership in the United Kingdom?
God bless Mugabe.
Is the government actually going to be purchasing this farmland off of British farmers and giving it to immigrant farmers?
I mean, what are they saying?
Well, the United States already did.
I mean, since Joe Biden came to office, we covered it at the time.
They decided they were going to redistribute farmlands.
They were going to buy some and then distribute it.
And they were going to put people of color at the front of the queue.
And they did.
And even after the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional, it had all been distributed already.
So there was nothing they could do.
Fantastic.
Not based on merit, just based on skin tone.
We have a great example in Mao's China of what happens when... Let me stop you there because it's literally what I was about to get onto.
Really?
Yeah, we covered this a couple of years ago in Frank D'Costa's fabulous series on China.
If you want to see what central planning can do when it interferes with the food supply, well, actually, that's a great example.
Have you tried not having dinner, lunch or breakfast?
Yeah.
This is, unironically, Just a new version of the central planners who think they know better than the people who've been doing it for literally centuries.
But let's not stop there.
So it turns out that last year Britain's fruit and veg growers were like, look, we think we're just going to go out of business because of course cheap food imports are supplanting them.
So we always hear about free trade.
Well, there's a cost to it, actually, and this is one of them.
Research done by a research firm found that 75% of those asked said that the treatment by supermarkets was one of their top concerns.
And the supermarkets are saying, look, we're going to leverage The cheap goods that we're getting in from Spain or Argentina or wherever, against the native British farmers.
And so we're going to ruin you.
And therefore that makes them dependent on the government subsidies.
And therefore that gives the government leverage over them to say, no, we want to turn your farmland into rewilding land.
Don't you just want that retirement?
It's all a cycle that they're trapped in.
And so, I mean, during the pandemic, supermarkets were, of course, accused of just openly profiteering.
So, I mean, their practices are imbalanced, short-term, and wasteful.
Farmers are denied commitment or security, with whole crops rejected at the last minute in favor of cheaper options elsewhere, or just because supermarkets changed their mind.
Goods end up rotting in the field.
Farmers are left without payment for their crops and without stable, reliable income, and they're struggling to survive.
Again, the buyout clause looks all the more tempting if you're a farmer in Britain these days.
You think, well, I'll just stuff it.
I'll just take, you know, a few hundred grand or however many million or whatever from the government.
I'll just take money and then we'll just have the surf labor from the third world provide our food and God help us if there's ever a supply chain interruption.
Yeah.
That's where we're at.
I agree.
I would say, going back just to Mao's interference, You know, they thought it'd be a great idea to kill all the sparrows.
So they killed all the sparrows.
And of course that bred a plague of locusts because there were no sparrows to eat the locusts.
And the locusts then went and ate all the crops.
So we ended up with a terrible, terrible, great famine.
And this is what happens when we have short-sighted, short-term politicians interfering in industries which have existed quite well on their own for millennia.
And then they think they know better and they interfere because they're working on a 5 or 10 or a 15 year plan, which in a historical context is nothing.
And what they do during that period is create absolute utter havoc.
Last night I was at an event with Major General Tim Cross at the Law Society.
And he was saying how he's sat, he's been to Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon, he's been to Rome, and how all of these great empires, they thought that they would last forever.
And we're in a position now where, as Western Democrats, we think That we are unassailable.
We think that we will last forever and we won't.
And we will unpick and undo it ourselves by these idiots, morons, meddling morons who have not learned from history.
And they meddle and they interfere and they impose their ideology over practical reality at all of our perils.
I mean, go sign up and support us, because of course we've been demonetized, and watch our series on Frank Carter so you can see in detail exactly what they did, because it's basically the same thing.
It is remote planning by bureaucrats who have no experience of the subject over which they're legislating.
And that's where we've arrived at now.
For some reason that's gone off there, so I can't change it.
Anyway, moving on.
So there have been protests about this.
Did you hear about these protests?
Lots of farmers protests in Britain.
Have you heard about them?
Well, I've heard about them again, because my wife is very much on the pulse of all these sort of things.
But not from the mainstream media.
Yeah.
I mean, you will find articles in the media, but it's just one article that's buried on like page three of the local news section of that.
So it never gets any traction.
But there was a protest this month from the farmers in Cornwall who oppose green policy overreach.
And up in arms over the threat to their livelihoods, there was of course in Wales, outside the Welsh Parliament, again over the climate policies because everyone can see it is the bureaucrats, the Maoist bureaucrats who are like, no, we have an ideology, we have a goal, we have a utopia that we're trying to build.
And you're just one of the things that we're going to sacrifice to do it.
And there was a protest in Canterbury over food imports.
Again, just part of the problem, but they're all protesting at different parts of the problem.
One is the green policies.
One is the import of cheap foreign food that's undercutting British workers.
And there was a protest yesterday, um, at, uh, was this the one?
Probably.
Uh, no.
I haven't got it up right.
There was a protest yesterday in Westminster, again, about the way that the agricultural sector in this country works, low-cost imports, Lack of support for farmers and the fact the industry seems to just be basically under attack.
And so you've got the sort of non-profit company, Red Tractor, that is a food assurance scheme.
They had green standards and there was a huge backlash from the farmers, so they dropped them.
So it's not that if there's one thing you can take away, the farmers think this is a bad idea.
Now, if we're talking to the people who actually grow the food, what would help you grow food better?
Implementing the green agenda is not that, but this is one of the few places they have any actual influence over, because of course we're trying to seek to work with the farmers of Britain.
So they can actually put pressure on them, but they can't do that to the government.
That's why they're going out and doing protests.
And so there is a campaign group that you might want to support, it's called No Farmers No Food, and they are of course Pointing out, hang on a second, we're doing real damage, the agriculture industry.
And if you want to see them for latest updates, go follow them on Twitter.
Just no farms, no food.
Obviously, I completely support them.
I would like food to be grown in Britain, even if it means you have to pay a little more for it at the shops.
And I don't think the government attacking the food industry in this country is actually a good idea.
This is the James Melville initiative, isn't it, I think?
I don't know.
Oh, no, no, you're right.
Sorry, I thought you were talking about something else.
Yes, the founder of the group is a chap called James Melville.
Yes, but go support them.
I endorse that, absolutely.
All righty, shall we move on to the last subject, which is Is this a laugh?
I was gonna say it's a laugh, but... It's gonna be a laugh for us.
Yeah, if nothing else.
Right.
Hurting yourself in confusion is a pretty silly thing to do, but it's a difficult lesson for some, it seems.
But you may be a member of the Conservative Party.
Yeah.
Now, I've sort of sworn off British politics, I'm bored of it electorally, but I do enjoy a good laugh.
And as you can see here, they exist.
So, what have they decided to do?
Well, they put out a bunch of crappy posts.
And what I love about this, as you can see on screen... I'll try and turn off the bloody audio, it's awful.
It's some American doing a voiceover, which, ah yes.
You don't know what this is, do you?
It's a reference to a movie, isn't it?
It's the Twilight Zone.
It's a series, isn't it?
It's a series.
Whoopsie daisies.
Oh, and I did see an episode, the one with that World War One pilot who comes back to World War Two.
Yeah.
And it turns out he needs to then travel back in time and kill himself to save his friend.
I haven't seen that one.
Oh, that's a good one.
But anyway, but the point being, as you can see, this whole thing is like, oh, imagine a world if the Labour Party were in charge.
You know what would happen?
High taxes, high bills.
Oh, there'd be co-immigration, I imagine.
We don't need to imagine it.
We've had a Labour government since 1997.
But can we, I keep saying, can we scroll down a bit?
Cause I think I ratioed this.
Ned's your number one sport in life.
Oh look at that, yeah.
You've created a dystopian present.
Yeah.
You can see, look at that ratio.
300.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just, whenever they tweet something, I just point out you're the guys ruining everything.
But I love that they also get community noted now.
And I must say, Twitter is a much funner place when the powers that be continuously just get fact-checked.
Yes.
Because it used to be the case, you remember when the fact-checkers, those independent fact-checkers, when they were in charge, that it would only go one way?
And now it goes both ways.
It just deals with people who are lying.
I do love Elon Musk's Twitter.
Yeah.
So you can see here they point out tax burden is actually the highest it's ever been since the war.
Bills are the highest.
Thanks for you.
Crime's also up.
59%.
That's good.
59% rise in crime.
That's fantastic.
That's a significant number, isn't it?
Yeah.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
59% is a, that should be an awakening number, shouldn't it?
Sort of third world, the government collapse number.
Yeah.
Because if it was going from one to five, no, it wasn't one crime in all of 2010.
Yeah.
There was crime.
Now there's a lot more.
If my mortgage went up by 59%, I'd freak out.
So that's, uh, that's their post.
But what's interesting is if you click on that, they've got a whole bloody website.
They've paid someone.
Oh yeah.
Some, some to sit around making this life.
Making that?
Yeah.
Somebody, they've paid for that.
They've paid for this piece of crap.
I've done that for free.
Yeah.
Politicians across the country have no plan.
Well, this means you pay more tax while getting poorer services and lower quality of life.
Oh yes.
Unlike under the conservative government.
Are you mad?
Taking our community back to square one.
It's like, God, I would love to go back to square one because we're on square like minus 500.
There were lower crimes in square one.
Yeah, like the taxes were lower at square one.
I'm actually looking forward to a Labour government.
No, I am.
I'll tell you why I'm looking forward to it.
Because it will have Labour on the rosette.
It will have Labour on the door.
Because it will be an honest Labour and we will be able to see their incompetency for what it is.
And hopefully the backlash will be That we end up with a Conservative Party, which is not a Blairite Party painted blue.
You know what, there's also going to be an advantage to this, because everything they come out and do, they'll say, we need immigration, we need diversity, and you'll be like, oh, they're all Tory policies.
So you're a bunch of Tories, aren't you?
And there's nothing that they hate more than being called Tories.
There isn't indeed.
And that's a good sport to play if you're online.
But they see here that they go on, and again, I want to make clear, I'm not endorsing the Labour Party on the slightest, because even if they might be honest, they're still just ruining the place.
They're like, it'll be pretty scary!
It'll be pretty scary if they're in charge!
Let's see what life is like already under Labour.
Oh my God, I live in a conservative country!
Yeah, see what it's already like.
And if you go like... Jesus!
Yeah, okay, Birmingham sucks, Camden sucks, Manchester sucks, but so does everywhere else!
So does everywhere else, absolutely.
Also, you've got to read the reasons they say it sucks.
It's because, oh, their tax is up.
Yep.
Like Rishi Sunak came out and was like, yeah, you're going to have to pay a hundred billion pounds more in tax because of our immigration policy.
And don't you know they're also wasting money on equality and inclusion?
It's like, that's you.
You literally pay the NGOs to object to your Rwanda policy.
You give them our money to protest your own goddamn policies.
Nevermind the NHS.
You could have sacked day one, all the guys.
Again, what, are they getting somewhere quarter of a million a year?
Yeah, that's the heads.
Jesus Christ.
No, that's just the heads.
I tell you, I can't wait until election night.
We're going to stay up all night watching the results come in and cheering.
We're going to pop champagne as the Conservative Party is absolutely crushed.
Zero seats.
We spotted, I think it was West Midlands Police, they were advertising for an assistant An assistant to the Director of Diversity, Inclusion, etc.
£75,000.
That's from the assistant.
The assistant!
So the head's on £250,000.
Well, you're a hate crime champion.
You just get in there and be like, hey, I know what you're about.
Exactly, exactly.
Because as I mentioned, it's not just the NHS, it's the police and everything else.
They all have a head who's on £250,000, an assistant on £75,000.
Then they've got the otherlings, they're on about £50,000.
And then they've got the guys who are the interns, and they're about £40,000.
And it's like, okay, that's made.
The most amazing thing though, particularly around the hate crime, is that if you've got all these hate crime champions, you've got your hate crime commissar on 100,000, assistant on 75,000, they have, as their target, they must not reduce hate crime.
That's what the hate crime guidance says, that seeing a decrease in hate crime is not an acceptable target because it may demotivate staff.
He'll put them out of jobs.
How?
Yeah, exactly.
But they say it, they say it out in the open.
We need to see an increase.
Can you imagine a murder squad, whose job it was to make sure there were more murders?
Well this, this is very much Matt Hopkins.
I can.
Witch trials, isn't it?
Yes.
So will I get paid by the witch?
Yes, exactly.
Exactly, that's exactly it, yeah.
But then you go on and you read the rest of this crap and it's like, man, the economy would be worse off.
The local services, they would be worse.
How will it be worse off?
How?
There might be inflation or something, I don't know.
You'd pay more taxes!
The taxes would be high!
If the labor... Okay, whatever.
My point's been made, which is that that's mad.
They're not accusing labor of increasing immigration.
Isn't that interesting?
No.
But you go on, and there's more of these.
I mean, their accounts are just being destroyed currently by community notes.
Have I ratioed this one as well?
I don't know.
No.
I haven't seen this one.
Get back to work.
Yeah.
So there's one there.
But someone has also decided to jot down how much these people are spending currently.
Because remember, these people suck.
I mean, it's not just that it's bad PR.
I mean, they're awful people and everything else in terms of government.
This is the money they're spending to try and keep themselves relevant just on Facebook.
So this is cumulative.
So you can see there in the first couple of days, they're spending thousands of pounds.
So since January, which is about here, they've spent about 600.
600,000 pounds on Facebook adverts.
So between January 1st and now, they've spent a million pounds.
1.7?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It starts at 600.
They spent over a million pounds just on Facebook ads.
Is it working, Conservatives?
Are you going up in the polls?
Well, I don't know, but if someone's got a million quid and is willing to burn it, that's a pretty bad way to burn it.
You could burn it with us instead, and you could sponsor this advert, which I just wanted to show Harry, really.
So I thought I'd show you, and let's enjoy.
Let's play this.
Oh, God damn it.
The internet's not working.
I don't know why I keep doing that stupid accent and hanging out with Tom.
Assuming it's an Australian accent.
Yeah, no, he came back from Australia.
I've been making memes ever since.
So there we go.
The Conservative and Unionist Party of the United Kingdom has bravely and consistently betrayed not only its own voter base, but all native peoples of the British Isles.
From constitutional reforms to dissolving the British Empire, from desecration of tradition to importing endless migrants, it is the Conservative Party that has been on the forefront of the destruction of this ancient people and their lands.
I am immensely proud of what we have managed to achieve as a party, taking the greatest empire to ever span the face of the earth to being a pathetic, miserable and broken nation mocked the world over.
In recent years we have greatly accelerated our plans to crush the ethnic Britons, making sure we openly show our hatred to you at every turn.
And let me be clear, we do hate you.
We despise you.
We have not done enough though.
Despite all of our betrayal, our blatant loathing of you, you still vote for us.
Even as we refuse to simply deliver a referendum, and then when we do we subvert your wishes by then opening our borders to the world.
Even as we take all of your wealth and make the promised public services completely unusable, there are still some of you who vote for us.
It is you, our voters, who we find the most disgusting.
To combat this, I am incredibly proud to introduce our new policy, Zero Seats.
Zero Seats is the policy where we shall do everything possible to make sure at the next general election, we as a party obtain Zero Seats.
You will have already seen Zero Seats in action, such as arguing over how much of your money to send to foreign conflicts that are nothing to do with you, or straight up making you homeless as we lavishly treat foreign peoples and hand over your property to them, and then criminally punishing you if you so much as point any of this out.
So please, when you think about the next election, think zero seats.
If we all play our part, we can finally make zero seats a reality.
Brilliant.
If anyone's out there who's got some money.
Everyone was worried about AI.
Yeah.
It's like, no, no, you can do some great things like that.
Says you.
You were the great warrior.
I was the great enjoyer of such things.
It's worked out.
But this was the genius of Tony Blair.
If you look at any sort of change management model, the final step in change management is that the change continues.
Irrespective of whether you're there.
That's it.
Because what you've done, you've embedded it into the wider culture of the organization which you were leading.
And that's precisely what's happened.
Blair's been gone for decades now, but he hasn't.
He's still here.
And like I said, I'm not joking.
We have had a Labour government since 1997.
I totally agree.
But this is the reason.
I don't care.
I really don't care.
I don't care if the Tories get absolutely wiped out.
Because we're in a one-party state already.
Yeah, I'm hoping for total destruction.
But anyway, I did enjoy that meme, but I thought I'd end this off with something else, which is if you think spending a million pounds in a couple of months, which is what the Conservative Party have done to get literally nowhere, is a waste of money.
To get, like, sub-20% in the polls.
Yeah.
I have some more wastes of money, which are much more fun, if nothing else.
So here we are.
So this is a lady who's been doing some digging, and she's digging into different projects that we've been funding via the university system.
Remember that university system that needs to be halved according to Matthew Goodwin?
I think you might have a point, because I'll read some of them to you.
The Politics of the English Grain Trade, 1314-1815.
This project cost £879,000.
to 1815.
Why?
This project cost £879,000.
Why?
Because we asked for it.
We got it.
I mean...
Fascinating.
This isn't about studying the grain trade, this isn't about studying whether or not certain things were right or wrong, it's instead studying things through a moral lens.
Oh, really?
Alright, so we're not going to learn anything practical from this, we're not going to use this and take it and try and apply it to solve the farming crisis which we discussed, which we identified.
This is about the politics of the... Oh yes, I see that.
It's in the title, isn't it?
The Politics of the English Grain Trade, 13, 14, 20, 15, yeah.
Whose ethical or moral lens, though?
So, the original moral lens, they argue, was one in the medieval age, making sure that everyone had access to food, so that's why there were controls on food prices.
That seems sensible.
And then there was another moral lens in the modern age of checking about whether or not it made any economic sense to do XYZ.
Don't care.
Well, that's practical though.
That's actually, you could make more money and wealth and therefore we'd all have more food.
Sure, okay, Adam Smith.
So, you know, there's a proper argument there.
And then they have the modern, the modern lens of looking at- Is it racist?
Sort of.
How did I know?
Yeah, no, they want to look at it through a new lens, which they can't really define if you read it.
It's actually just kind of, again, mustard gas to read.
You don't really feel fulfilled by the end of that.
But that's 880 grand down the drain.
Fantastic.
No, I'm going to see if I can do one about queering the agro economies from 1314 to 1815.
Seeing it through an intersectional queer lens.
Don't ask for less than 800,000 because I mean you're underselling yourself.
I'd like a black queer analysis of the hundred years war actually.
Well look we've got a lens we can apply it to something that probably didn't involve any black girls.
Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit.
So, let's move on.
So you can see here, um, more bending, spilling, dumping, soil, rural resistance, and queer ferility.
That sounds like something you might type into Pornhub.
Soil, rural resistance, and a queer world.
Thank you, Oxford.
Thank you for that.
Very cool.
They didn't tell us how much that one was.
Goes on.
Race, decoloniality, and the will for adultery.
Alterity.
Alterity, sorry.
Who cares?
They can do a study on adultery if they wish.
A critical ethical approach to the racial desubjugation.
No, desubjection.
Mustard gas.
Subjectivation.
Mustard gas.
I can't breathe.
It just hurts to even look at.
Yeah, I mean, just looking at the abstract looks fantastic.
Thank you, University of Warwick.
I was thinking of doing a PhD a while ago, and I just couldn't bring myself to use that kind of bollocks language.
Have you considered how much money the UK government will give you?
I don't care.
I don't come that cheap.
I'm not going to do any of that.
I'm not going to do it.
You've just got a degree in philosophy, haven't you?
Yes.
What do you think to the Scottish School of Common Sense?
Because I'm a big fan, I've got to say, that the thing is pretty much what it appears to be.
I agree with that.
I don't know, man.
Hard to disagree.
That is just a load of crap, isn't it?
Feeling fat?
I am a little bit, yeah.
Experiencing and treating fatness in the early modern France.
1550 to 1715.
Ah yes, 1515.
Everyone's worried about being too fat.
Fatphobic.
In fact, she says here, using feminist and post-colonial methods, Ah yes, those successful methods.
I will investigate how negative narratives about fatness and slimming... Shut up.
Sorry, we're talking about a place of famine.
Yeah, we're talking about medieval France, the famine world.
And she's like, what about gender, class and race?
This is meant to be a four year study as well.
University of Edinburgh.
If you think about this just through a socialist lens for a second, just for a second, what benefit do they imagine that this study is going to reap for the wider populace?
What in their wildest imagination is this going to help us achieve?
Tell me.
Tell me, Karl.
Tell me.
I have no idea.
I don't even know what they... It's self... It's a self-indulgence, academic...
Odinism, isn't it?
That's what it is.
It is nothing more than that.
And it goes on.
It goes on and on and on.
So what's this?
Peopling of the Tularosa player during the last glacial maximum.
700 grand.
Fascinating.
Next one here, 500 grand.
What's on?
Rethinking class in the television industry.
Thank you, University of Leeds.
We definitely need to rethink class in the television industry.
280 grand.
Post post-modern fictions of the digital.
Narrative techno- oh come on.
Oh come on.
It's only Stranger K for now.
Just why bother?
280 grand.
A different kind of war story centering love and care in peace and comfort- shut up.
Shut shut up.
279,000 quid.
Yes.
This one here.
800 grand.
Decolonizing the museum.
Yes, this one here, 800 grand decolonizing the museum.
Really?
Really, really?
Digital repatriation of a collection from the UK to India.
Sorry, digital repatriation.
Are we going to send them pictures?
It's pricey pictures.
Okay, look, we can't say it back, but here's a picture of it.
You can't have the Elgie Marbles.
Here's a picture.
Here's a photo of the Elgie Marbles.
Now bugger off.
It's me with a selfie of mine.
800 grand for this one, reality television.
Okay, fantastic, don't care.
840 grand for this piece of trots.
Okay, thanks.
Typographic punches of John Baskerville.
Heritage science and practice-based research.
The point being, I mean, we're well aware There's a lot of waste in academia.
The level of waste is something new, if nothing else.
But I'll end it off with probably the best one, because these are funded by universities, which you can argue, okay, well, they get their money from the state a lot, or from scamming foreign students.
I mean, that's a huge waste of, well, time and money, which is awful, because we could have done that, I don't know, building ships, or just a train.
But instead we've done this.
Fantastic.
Um, that's bad.
But what if, what if we took money straight from the taxpayer and used it to fund gay porn?
And uh, that's what we've done.
I'm sure everyone's glad to hear.
840 grand for this paper.
The Europe that gay porn built.
1945 to the year 2000.
Thank you.
You know what?
I feel like Harry might be interested in this.
We are in Holy Week this week, in the lead up to Easter.
I see.
And I sort of wonder which tables Jesus would be turning over should they appear in the temple this week.
And I think this is the sort of bullshit that Jesus would be taking his whip to, turning over, and just, you know, in a holy manner, shitting all over.
Because it's nonsense and it benefits nobody.
I don't know, I kind of want to know about the kind of Europe gay porn would build.
Apparently it's the one I'm living in.
It has to build, hasn't it?
At least according to this study.
You see here, the research organisation, Birmingham University.
A bit generous to call them a research organisation and not a clown show.
But then they go on to write their abstract about how gay porn has built the modern world and okay, whatever.
I went and sourced the guy who's doing this.
This is the professor.
Professor, a foreign name, has scammed 800 grand.
Honorary professor foreigner.
Yeah, has scammed 800 grand.
He's working at the University of Exeter.
Of course, he's a queer cultural theorist.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
No, no, it means he's gay and researches gayness.
I have the body researching visual cultures of sexual... I look at gay porn.
I watch gay porn.
And the government gives me 900 grand to do it.
800 grand's worth of gay porn.
It's a good investment.
Thank you, dragons.
Imagine trying to do this in the private sector.
Can we put Alan Sugar in charge of government spending?
Only if government's betting on gay porn.
No, but he goes on to talk about it's not just him watching the gay porn, that would be weird and lewd and wrong.
So he says he will map the enshrinement of politics, transnational solidarity, community, and the erotic in gay pornographic magazines circulating post-war Europe.
What does this mean?
My monograph?
Bareback porn, porous masculinities, queer futures, the ethics of becoming pig.
Don't worry about it.
This man needs 800 grand, alright?
He can't have enough gay sex until we give him the money to go and watch all the gay porn he would like.
He says this research, again I told you they're research films, they will take place between 2023 and 2027, so he's already had a year of watching porn.
He's got another solid three, four years of watching porn behind him.
I wonder if he can get this book on Audible, because at the minute I'm sort of going through J.K.
Rowling and Stephen King, but I think that sounds like a much better bet.
I don't know!
...spend my time listening to bareback porn... HORNE BLOWS RASPBERRY ...and queer futures.
Yeah.
Sorry, Han, he...
While facing significant criticism from both national cultures that prefer that gay men's sexism is monogamous, and from gay leaders who view pig sex as self-indulgent backsliding, gay, quote, blue masculinities, as Floriencio terms them, have enabled forms of queer worldmaking that harbour a potential for ethical and political transformation.
Right, so no, no, but this is the important bit.
No, no, no.
Callie.
Callie.
What part of it are we?
I appreciate you think... Are we?
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
You think this is just self-indulgement.
Ugh!
Wankfest.
No, it's about political and ethical trans... It's revolution.
Ah, yes.
Revolution.
Revolutionary pig.
The issue is never just the gay porn, pig masculinity porn.
It's revolution.
What did you just say?
I don't know.
It's not just about the gay porn, it's about sending a message.
Yeah, it's about revolution.
That's literally how he counts it.
Obviously, it's not about that.
Obviously, it's just him being smart enough to scam 800 grand to watch gay porn.
Yeah, I know.
We're literally paying this guy to watch gay porn.
I looked up the source, the source of this money, he goes on to say, because of course he's not just watching it alone, that would be creepy, he says it's a collaboration between the University of Exeter and the Linköping University, that's in Sweden, so Captain Sweden is involved, and Professor Janne Funke of the University of Enka.
Me and my very good friend are going to watch gay porn, and you're going to pay for it.
Me and Jana Funke and Captain Sweden are going to watch gay porn!
Well, they've also got Professor John Mercer from Birmingham University, that's where they got the money.
The Bishopsgate Institute of London, and of course the Germans are involved, the Schulweis Museum in Berlin, has funded the grant, but they have got the money through the Humanities Research Council, which is British.
They got the money from the British, and the Germans, the Swedes, Birmingham, and Exeter, and Mr. Funke, are all going to get together and watch 800 grand's worth of gay porn over the next four years.
Conservatives paying for this.
My question is, which one is more hurting yourself in confusion?
Spending a million quid on conservative Facebook ads, or 800 grand on gay porn?
Well, I mean, this... Because at least at the end of the gay porn, you've still got the gay porn.
Yeah, the gay porn isn't the thing that's tanking them in the polls, so, you know.
Okay.
This is, this is... Just scroll back.
I want to ask you a question.
Oh, you want to read more gay porn, huh?
I want to ask you the question, is your... Okay, so, is your masculinity porous?
What does that mean?
Yeah, I don't even know.
Not really.
Am I open to being gay?
No, not really.
You think your masculinity is sealed, is it?
Pretty much, yeah.
I think mine is.
I'm not into pig porn either, so that's... You're not into bareback pig porn?
Don't know what that is, but it's off the table.
I just like women, man.
I'm really not very complex.
That's why you don't get 800 grand.
That is absolutely true.
That is precisely why the government isn't giving you 800 grand.
That's exactly the reason.
Let's go to the video comments.
Oh, that was a laugh.
It is now believed that Pamela, the last unexploded bomb in the London area, will be removed from Miramont Place Pimlico on Tuesday next.
We hope.
Oh, it's got to be made.
They want it for the Exhibition of Local Arts and Culture.
Having discovered old documents ceding an area of London to a lost Duke, the residents set about finding him to realise the wealth among the trove.
The story is a deliciously witty analysis of ambition tempered by ability, particularly the ability to control borders against hordes of chancers.
That's a movie review there.
It's interesting too.
Let's do the next one.
Regarding reform, the point was rightfully raised that the moneyed interests won't allow representation to happen.
Seems to me the only true solution is reclaiming the tastemaker of the elite, the universities.
However, it took the Rousseauians a complete century of conquest to truly claim our institutions.
And they face an unaware enemy, entirely ignorant they are at war.
We now face a zealous cabal, militant in organization and jealously entrenched in their position.
Unfortunately, I'm rocking a third grade education here.
I couldn't tell you how to do it, only that it must be done.
The alternative is total collapse.
I do love watching people make stuff, though.
It's genuinely my porn.
Like, Facebook knows it as well.
Like, yeah, yeah, I'll be like, okay, I'll take five minutes break from whatever I'm doing.
And Facebook will be like, you know you want to watch.
You want to watch this guy building something by hand.
And I spread a video.
Oh, you want another one, don't you?
I'm like, yeah, I know I do, but stop it.
You know, stop it.
I have work to do.
Yeah, no, I really don't like those videos.
Anything to do with... I love them!
I'm in awe, I'm in awe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A philosopher and a handyman.
Absolutely amazing.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, no.
No.
To answer his question, though, I don't... I don't think the right are going to take the universities.
In my lifetime, I've only seen one tactic work, which is a long shot, I'll admit.
It's become a billionaire and buy something.
And that seems to work.
So, my answer... That's why you should subscribe to Let's Seize.com.
Yeah, I mean the only answer I can think of to solving politics at this point from what I've seen work is make a lot of money and then use it because that's actually the root of power in the West.
I agree.
If only there were right-wing billionaires who could fund things.
Who knows?
I'm sure there's one or two.
Or ten.
Let's go to the next one.
I remember Carl saying that Sharon Osbourne is a certain type of English woman that he can't stand.
Is this what he's talking about?
I've just started this calypso.
It is fucking minging.
Paradise Punch Lemonade.
It is fucking minging.
Fuck you, Dad.
It's minging.
It's fucking minging.
Very clearly a man.
Well, don't know what minging is, but yeah, that sucks.
That is the kind of woman that I'm talking about.
Let's go to the next one.
This article caught my eye.
A headset delivers electrical pulses to the brain and has shown positive results in alleviating depression.
The treatment is controlled via a smartphone app.
There's depression's cold.
Let's go to the next one.
I like the fact that we've got to the point where we're just going to shock your brain.
Yeah.
Don't change your lifestyle.
There's nothing about the way you live that makes you depressed.
Just...
Yeah.
The last one.
This kind of monument is very popular in Greece, and I believe it comes from the Asian Greek tradition of the Asian tombstones.
They mostly look like this one, small metallic, like my mailbox, and they're placed in places where someone either had a fatal or near-fatal accident.
Now, I'm focusing on this one for the reason that's quantifiably the oldest one I have seen.
I don't understand that. - Yeah.
They put these boxes where someone's had a fatal or near-fatal accident.
Little memorials.
It's nice.
Better than flowers.
Right, let's go to the written comments on the site, shall we?
Kevin says, so April 1st sees the introduction of the Hate Crimes Act 2021 in Scotland, so here's a question.
If I still live in Dorset and create a meme, as I am prone to do, and send it to one of my relatives in Scotland, And it's seen by someone who finds it offensive.
Can I expect a knock on the door from the Scottish Special Branch?
Yeah, this is a question I have.
So if I drive up to Scotland, say I am actually not a fan of Humza Yousaf, and then go back to England, what is the Scottish Government's power over me?
Right, so you would have committed the crime in Scotland.
Do I get deported to Scotland?
I think that's very unlikely, but this demarcation between England and Scotland, it's porous.
I don't know about masculinity, but the border is porous.
So they will definitely find some willing police officer in the UK who will come and harass you overseas.
You've committed a crime in Scotland, have you not?
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Yeah, absolutely.
And you've come back to England, so you've brought your criminal ways with you.
Without necessary intervention, the likelihood is that you will go on and commit genocide.
That's the rationale that these lunatics take.
So yeah, I don't think the fact that you're in England For instance, when I was investigated for tweets which referenced people in Canada.
I made this tweet when I was in America, and it's about somebody in Canada, but it didn't stop the police.
So yes, not being in Scotland will not save you from long-armed Scottish law.
Uh, Threadnaught sends a super chat.
Uh, thank you by the way.
Uh, say BBC gaming presenter Jules Hardy is calling gamers against ESG scum to be removed via a final purge.
Lovely.
We're paying for some scum to call for a final solution to the us problem.
That's really weird, isn't it?
Cause like that ties in with what you just said.
Like if I don't appreciate Humza Yousaf, they're just like, Oh my God, he's going to kill all the Humza Yousafs in the world.
So I didn't plan on killing anyone.
I just didn't really like Humza Yousaf, but then That seems to be somewhat projection, doesn't it?
It's like, yeah, no, we want to get rid of you all, says Jules Hardy, the progressive BBC presenter.
Then he's like, final solution to you.
It's like, right, so that's what you think I think of him.
You've got to understand there are two types of hate.
There's acceptable establishment hate.
Yes.
And then there's the hate that the rest of us demonstrate.
Yeah, it's a one-way street.
Hate is fine, providing that it's the government, Owen Jones, Homsa Yousaf, hating on us.
The second we push back, then that's when it becomes dangerous.
I agree.
That's a good point.
The Crusader says there's no consensus on what a British value is, indeed, because it never used to be necessary when we were a functional, high-trust, homogenous country.
I agree.
I agree, yeah.
We know it's got something to do with warm beer and cricket, but that's about it.
And fairness.
And being, you know... Tolerance as well.
Tolerance, yes.
You've got to be absolutely tolerant.
This is one of the differences between ourselves and Europe.
We are fundamentally a liberal country.
They are fundamentally all about equity and equality.
Very, very different.
But then that means that you have to be tolerant of certain communities.
Female genital mutilation or something.
I'm very, very suspicious of British values.
I'll be honest, because when I dug into it, I found out why I first found it when I was looking at the terrorism act.
And then there's a definition of British values.
And if you argue against them, that is a crime in this country.
Crime under the terrorism act.
Yeah.
You can't advocate anything against it.
You know what guys?
I'm not sure unlimited tolerance for female genital mutilation is a good idea.
Well, that's because you're a terrorist.
As written.
Yes.
Um, one of them, they're all like this though.
And when you think about it, I looked up, so when the phrase British values start coming about, it's very, very recent.
So I'm very skeptical of this idea that there are even something you can pin down accurately.
There's definitely something that's British that's not common in foreign countries for sure.
Yeah.
But the, as written and how it's used in the media.
What, red squirrels?
What are you talking about?
This is a very modern thing and it's something I'm deeply suspicious of, but I literally can't argue against it because I'll go to prison.
We all know what extremism is.
When a bunch of people whose allegiances are to a foreign religious power, for instance, start plotting and scheming about killing MPs or disrupting... Expanding unlimited tolerance to people, Barry.
That is extremism, and that sort of extremism need cracking down.
When you say that I have great concerns about giving hormone blockers to children, That is not extremism.
We all know it's not extremism.
So we need to get back to a common-sense understanding of what extremism is.
You would think so.
It would work.
Governed by the Conservatives, who are just the blue version of Labour, are about to get another version of Labour.
The problem is the one-party state.
One-party states don't govern well.
Yeah.
Notjustastring sends a soup chat saying, probably worth keeping tabs on the robot development, We don't need all the doctors and engineers in 5-10 years time, and there are more than enough benefit dependents from the natives still waiting for a Bitcoin segment.
Well, Dan did an entire Broken Omics on Bitcoin.
I don't know anything about Bitcoin, so he's the best guy to do it.
Omar says, a bit of a catch-22 when the murders are definitely going to increase in the future, but being able to use forensic evidence to accurately determine the culprit will be a hate crime.
Good point.
So it's not going to be forensic examiners.
Not going to be a growth industry because that would be racist.
Paramount Walk says, tomorrow you guys should cover how the illegal immigrants in the USA are escalating their behavior.
They're using, ah yeah, we should actually.
Should have covered that, I forgot all about that.
They're using squatters, laws, and legal loopholes to steal homes away from American citizens.
They're using the cops and murder to force homeowners away from their houses.
These people are literally breaking down our doors at this point.
Yeah, that is something we should cover tomorrow.
That's New York State, right?
You just don't have property rights there anymore?
Yeah.
The Unbreakable Litany says, On universities, most degrees are BS.
I'm in STEM and I'd say my degree would be best served in an apprenticeship.
As it is, I'm paying for some magic paper and I'm working for free during breaks in study.
Which system is better?
Aspiring Immigrant says, Immigration won't stop and there will be too many young foreigners up against an aged population.
Well, I mean, I don't think it has to come to that or anything like that.
no return but it is approaching there will have to be mass deportations of anyone not ancestrally tied to britain that go white people expect the good migrants to be caught in the crossfire well i mean i don't think it has to come to that or anything like that i think that if we just stopped allowing a million new people a year coming to the country a lot of these problems would solve themselves um anyway henry says brexit didn't work well not just because the tories sold the country up the river
but it was also because everyone involved in the process from the negotiators and the civil service to the mainstream media desperately wanted it to be a total and colossal failure to spite the common man for not complying a Amen.
Obviously true.
Yep, obviously true.
Well, I was speaking to Krzysztof Bozak, who's a Polish MP, and I asked him, what do you guys think of Brexit?
And they're looking at me and they're like, yeah, we didn't understand it.
We were all really supportive and you guys left.
We were really excited.
And then you just copied all the EU legislation without any of the benefits?
Well, with higher taxes.
Yeah.
So they're looking at, they're just looking at us in lots of confusion.
It's like, you guys had the best opportunity you could have had in years and completely ruined it.
Yeah.
What we should have done is just abolished corporation tax, which would have sucked all the business from Ireland because there's loads of international business that goes to Ireland because it's right next to Britain.
And so like, for example, Google, Apple, Facebook, they're all headquartered in Ireland because they've got 12 and a half percent corporation tax, which is exactly half our corporation tax.
Weird how that works.
The Tories had an opportunity, didn't they, with Liz Cross to sort of bring in conservative economic reform and they got rid of it within weeks.
That's the perfect realisation of what was described.
It was attempted and then destroyed.
Very quickly.
So, no wonder the polls were like, why did you screw that up?
It's like, well, we didn't, but we weren't allowed to be successful.
We're so sorry.
Lord Nerevan says, "I was wondering when we were going to get a proper farmer protest in the UK.
I'm glad they haven't done things by halves here.
All they need now is Jeremy Clarkson to lead the charge." Well, it seems that things are ramping up, but they're going to get worse when they get better, I think.
Arizona Desert Rat says, "But don't you know, Carl, the government bureaucrats know way more about agriculture than the unedumacated farmers raising the crops and livestock." Obviously true.
I don't know why I thought otherwise.
Bleach Demon says, the absolute tyranny of this farming sustainability scheme cannot be expressed enough.
The closest historical point I can think of is the Soviet collective farms or the Maoist ones.
But yeah, it's just unbelievable, frankly, that we're like, hey, you know what we're going to do?
We're going to try and decimate our own food supply.
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
Michael says, the ad that is the most honest thing that voice has said ever is actually chilling.
The AI Rishi Sunak voice.
Grant says, I've long said the 100 Years War simply wasn't diverse and queer enough.
I mean, that's totally true.
Very little diversity and queerness.
I saw something in the chat earlier that was effectively, man, I really don't want to watch gay porn, but for 160,000 a year, I'll make the sacrifice.
You know what?
You know what?
I think you could just cheat.
Yeah, you could just run chap GPT to write the paper.
I don't think they're going to double check it.
I watched 500 hours of gay porn over the past four years and you gave me 900 grand for the privilege and you're not going to go through and check that.
You're not going to go check that.
You're just going to assume I did for whatever reason.
It's just one preposterous world, man.
I really think the government's going to be like, oh, we're going to...
So the department he's talking about...
Michael Gove, go and check that he watched all that gay porn.
So the department where they got the money, they have a budget of £102 million and they've got to distribute that every single year, of course.
So I did a little pocket calculation and that's about, I think of some, we did it in the pub, about £240,000 per day you've got to spend.
So just that gay porn, I mean, that's three days worth of spending or whatever that they've got to deal with.
And then we've got to keep spending.
We don't work weekends, obviously.
Good grief.
The amount of money you have to burn if you're at a government department with that kind of budget, there's no surprise that they're funding gay porn.
I mean, I thought I hated the government before.
Before this podcast, I really thought I hated the government.
I'm reaching new depths.
Not getting paid because I like women.
Those figures were really shocking.
Particularly the Facebook one.
I know you're struggling for rent and food and transport and electricity and everything else and you're thinking well maybe one day in five years time I'll go on a holiday.
No you won't.
But the government will piss your money up the wall so some guy can watch unlimited gay porn.
On the party stuff as well.
With a bunch of Swedes and Germans.
But we've all engaged in party politics to some extent, and one of the things I find amazing is that in an actual alternative, the actual alternative opposition to the one-party state here, a million quid, Jesus Christ, that would go a long way.
Oh, it would go a hell of a long way, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
But for those guys, that's just a couple of months on Facebook.
Literally bugger all.
But politics by Facebook is...
It's a nonsense.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
When Martin Dobly stood for reclaim in the North Shropshire by-election, we believed our Facebook feedback and that, and he should have won by a mile or come very close second.
I mean, he ended up with like Just a couple of hundred votes, that was all.
Because Facebook lies.
It tells you what you want.
It tells you what you want to hear.
And this is what will be happening with the Tory party.
It's certainly what happened in the Reclaim party, because we would get our feedback every month.
And by goodness, we were the greatest party on the planet.
But we weren't.
You know what I mean?
We weren't.
It's smoke and mirrors.
It's a kimmer.
It's a lie.
I've been thinking about this a lot.
I think if any political campaigning were to go ahead, it's got to just be on the street, door to door, putting letters through doors and, you know, like the way George Galloway did it.
Yeah.
Not a social media focused campaign.
So I think you are right.
Social media is basically a chimera.
Then I give you a million pounds to campaign in South Swindon and... North Swindon I'd campaign in.
My point being that you would, you know, the leaflets cost 500 quid.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Zero.
Okay.
Right.
So I would have an army of leafleters and I would have probably once a week, a new kind of leaflet that was going through the door.
Look at this thing, the Conservatives.
I would spend it very well.
I agree.
You're probably on the money that the people who are wearing those adverts are saying.
They'll be like, man, we get such good feedback.
Right back to the pie.
They do.
They say, we know exactly who we're targeting.
We know how many people have watched the videos.
We know how long they've watched them.
My goodness, you are going to clean up on this.
And then when you move out of the digital world into the analog world of voting, that's when reality hits.
And you find that instead of having the tens of thousands of votes you were expecting, you've got 230.
Anyway, on that note, we're out of time, so if you'd like more, where would they find you?
They would find me at WeAreFairCop.
Otherwise?
Sorry?
On Twitter.
Otherwise, goodbye.
