	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Low Seaters for the 13th of June and I believe this is podcast 936.
	We're almost getting to a thousand now and I'm very pleased to be joined by Calvin Robinson and Harry Robinson.
	Hello!
	I'm flanked by Robinsons today.
	We're not actually related I don't think.
	To be fair I don't.
	I've not looked into it so maybe.
	Who knows?
	We could be.
	And today we're going to be talking about how the Grooming Gang's never stopped.
	Well, I'll be talking about that.
	And Harry's going to be telling us about why Boris Johnson is terrible, which is... As if you even needed more reasons, but I've got one.
	He just wants to make you very hungry.
	A few.
	Well, they all add up on top of each other, don't they?
	I'll be going over a few to remind everybody to begin with.
	And Calvin is calling for another crusade.
	Yes.
	This time to France.
	Yes, let's invade France.
	Okay.
	We've been making... I had looked at your segment, I didn't realise.
	We've been whittling longbows in the Locita's office this entire time in preparation, so I suppose it is worth mentioning.
	I'll be much chastised if I don't mention it.
	The Islander magazine is going to go off sale on Monday, so you need to get it while you can.
	I have been asked many times who's written for it.
	We've got Mr. Carl Benjamin, if you've heard of him.
	We've got Bo.
	We've got Raw Egg Nationalist.
	We've got Morgoth Reviews.
	We've got lots of people that I'm not going to spoil.
	It's a good issue, it really is.
	It is great stuff, yeah.
	While we're shilling, Harry, you were asking me about this before we went on ASR.
	Yeah, it's a very nice looking pipe.
	This is going to be on our Lotus Lotus merchandise store very soon.
	Oh, really?
	This is my Common Sense Crusade pipe.
	Lovely.
	I didn't actually know that we were going to be starting to sell pipes.
	That's great.
	Well, I figured t-shirts and mugs are nice, but what does a gentleman need?
	He needs a pipe.
	That's an excellent inscription as well.
	Yeah, it's got the Celtic cross on one side and St.
	Cuthbert's cross on the other.
	That's really fantastic.
	Well, this is some high quality stuff, people, so look out for this when it shows up on the merch site, honestly.
	I need to get my own thing.
	Maybe my own brand of hunting knife or something.
	Well, you're both saying you're gonna start smoking pipes, right?
	You've just got one and you want one more for your birthday.
	Yeah.
	Right, we should all... We should film while we're smoking.
	Or we should smoke while we're filming.
	We won't say anything, we'll just sit here smoking pipes.
	It'll be a weird... Just content by itself, right?
	Weird bit of, sort of, ASMR or something.
	We could get away with smoking in here, couldn't we?
	Karl probably wouldn't let us.
	Yeah, that's a Karl decision.
	He's not always in the office.
	I mean, yeah, it is caught on camera, so he can tell.
	I never thought you'd be the devil on my shoulder, Calvin.
	Ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
	Oh, well, we've heard it here first.
	Ask Karl, please don't fire me.
	Well, shall we get into the Grooming Gang stuff?
	It seems almost a bit crass after.
	I know, yeah.
	So, Obviously, we've talked about the Grooming Gangs quite a lot.
	However, they haven't actually stopped, even though it's received national press, it's received political attention, obviously, and it's a sort of household thing.
	Everyone knows about it now, and yet nothing seems to be Done, or at least not enough is being done.
	So I wanted to run through where we're currently at, as well as some of the new information that has emerged about these grooming gangs, and just the extent of the problem, as well as the fact that the root cause of the problem is not being addressed in my opinion, and that is the fact that it's British Pakistani men.
	Why are we allowing Pakistani men to be here if we know that they have a culture of covering for each other when they abuse white girls?
	That's the element of it.
	From all of the reports that we hear about these things when they come out, especially when we've got Ella Hill, which you've got up on screen here, it says within her own bio we've got here that it was part of basically...
	Well, I was going to read the whole thing, so you can go ahead if you would like.
	Oh, I don't want to read it.
	It's very sad.
	So you can read that all out loud.
	But either way, from the reports that we have from people like Ella and other victims who've come out about their experiences, it does seem to be, sadly, a community-orientated thing where even the women within the communities are aware, but they accept it because they either think, well, that's how these men are going to act, or because they believe that the young white girls deserve it because or because they believe that the young white girls deserve it because they are outside of... because they're I've got friends in these places in Telford and some of these survivors have been in touch over the years and they know that it's still going on.
	They know that the taxi companies are constantly changing name to re-image and rebrand themselves because these taxis are picking people up and abducting young girls and taking them to the kebab shops and all the pizza shops where these Pakistani Muslim men are raping and abusing young girls and they all know it's still going on.
	The police know it's still going on, the establishment do, but nothing is done about it.
	This is going to end in vigilante.
	I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest, because it's one of those things where there is a way of solving it, but if the law doesn't do anything about it, well then people are going to have to take justice in their own hands, because it's one of those things that I think is one of the most infuriating stories, if you will, it almost seems crass to call it that, in modern politics, I think.
	It's one of the greatest... It's evil, it's grave evil, and if these guys want Sharia, we should give them Sharia.
	Well, I very much agree.
	So the reason I've got Dr Ella Hill's profile up on our website here is because she's been quite brave, to be honest, and put herself out there
	To spread the word about what's actually going on and I would like to read her bio because it gives you a good snapshot into the individuals being affected because when it's you know numbers and it's abstract victims it's difficult to register at an emotional level just how to feel about it obviously it's frustrating and you know it's annoying but The depravity of the whole thing I think gets put into perspective once you realise what has been done.
	So it reads, Dr Ella Hill is a medical doctor and mother.
	When she was a teenager she met a much older Pakistani Muslim man from Rotherham who became her boyfriend in inverted commas.
	Over the course of a year he beat and raped her over a hundred times and took her to houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England to be raped and gang raped.
	When she tried to escape he carried out an attempted honor killing which she survived with multiple fractures and lacerations.
	Her main perpetrator was part of a larger network of offenders who did the same thing to many more teenage girls in Rotherham.
	Ella has recovered and now campaigns to get acknowledgement of the racist and religious aspect of the abuse she and others had to endure.
	And this is a point of contention in the media.
	People Mainly left-wingers and mainstream journalists have been saying well there's not an ethnic or religious element to it and yet it's Muslim Pakistani men targeting young white girls.
	That's what's going on.
	That's the truth.
	The numbers don't lie.
	The people coming forward saying they're victims certainly aren't lying and so they don't really have any grounds.
	Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
	Every person who says that there's no racial or ethnic or cultural or faith element to this is complicit in the cover-up because the whole purpose this has been covered up is to protect diversity.
	Well we'll certainly be touching on that aspect of it and actually lots of people that may well be future government ministers have played a part in covering this up.
	So, she wrote an open letter to the Home Office accusing the government of institutional racism because they weren't acknowledging the racial aspect to this crime, that they're targeting white girls.
	It's not within their community, it's targeting people outside of their community, right?
	And the Home Office responded, obviously you can read these, there's a lot of information here and I can't go through it all, but please do read these, it's very important.
	The Home Office responded In what you can imagine is a fairly milquetoast way and then she wrote another open letter saying that they're hiding anti-white hate crimes and helping to cover up grooming gangs and as we'll see soon enough this opinion went on to be vindicated much later when the press actually picked up on what the Home Office were doing.
	They basically dragged their heels and tried to cover up for these people.
	So the racial element, as I mentioned, has been disputed.
	So this article from 2023, the NSPCC of all people, which is a charity that's meant to protect children, I believe, was warning against framing grooming gangs as an ethnic-based problem.
	But it was British-Pakistani men, so it was an ethnic-based problem.
	There must be a focus on more than just race.
	Why?
	Why is that?
	Well, as you say, because of the fact that we are supposed to be a multicultural Britain, one dents that narrative.
	Well, it doesn't so much dent the narrative as completely blow a hole in it.
	The other thing is that When we say it's complicit, they're complicit in past crimes but in promoting this kind of attitude they're also complicit in future crimes that are perpetrated.
	Because of course if people say, oh there is no racial aspect to this, there is no ethnic aspect to it, then as I've said many times before, that's that informs the way that they approach and judge the world around them and so they might take unnecessary risks in the future because they don't see the risk because they've been told by a position of authority and people put a lot of faith in authority that they don't need to and that gets that puts them in danger well it plays into this sort of thing
	so this is an article from the independent from 2022 fight against grooming gangs hindered by fear of being branded racist and this was an official investigating the grooming gangs and of course the reason that they got away with it for so long in the first place is that the police didn't approach it in that way they didn't build up the criminal profile of these pakistani muslim taxi drivers that's their demographic background of this systematic abuse and they didn't do that because the police were worried about being racist this is a matter of public record
	this is a A factual statement, this is what the police themselves have released.
	So it's not, you know, me making it up.
	This is the truth, right?
	They didn't crack down on it because of fear of being racist and it's exactly the kind of thing that Harry was talking about here.
	It was the worry, the climate that they're going to be seen as prejudiced, they're going to lose their jobs, which I think, to be honest, is worth losing your job if it means that.
	We've built an environment of selfishness in that people are more worried about their own perception, how people see them, rather than the victims themselves and the crimes they've been perpetrated.
	I'm more worried about being called a racist than I am that young girl being raped.
	What kind of world are we living in?
	I know, it's just a testament to how twisted people's priorities are nowadays that being called racist is seen as such a big deal really.
	Embrace it, we're all racists!
	I just used to say it, what's wrong?
	The point that you're making there is that, well, no matter what you do, no matter what you say, if you consider yourself to be right of Mao, you are going to be labelled on some level a fascist, a racist, a bigot, a misogynist, transphobic, anything that comes with those labels.
	And so the best thing to do is step over those labels and acknowledge the truth.
	Because the truth is what matters.
	Absolutely.
	It's worth mentioning as well that there was a bit of a scandal with Naz Shah, who was a Labour Party MP, retweeting and liking a fake Owen Jones, it was a satirical account, which tweeted out, those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths for the good of diversity.
	And she shared this and she later claimed it was an accident, but you don't accidentally like and retweet something that also happens to align with your ideology.
	And it's also worth mentioning as well, there are people in the Labour Party that have pushed against the grooming gangs, to give them credit, you know, I'm not completely partisan, so Sarah Champion is worth mentioning.
	She wrote an article where she said, Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls, which is true.
	That's how I would have put it myself.
	However, at the time this went out, she was on the Corbyn front bench and I think Corbyn made her walk it back and she apologized for her extremely poor choice of words and stepped down.
	What?
	Which words were poorly chosen?
	I don't know.
	It was accurate.
	So, um, you know, a slight bit of credit for writing it and she has done work to, um, fight against it.
	However, she should have stuck with her principles, I think.
	But, um, Sakia Starmer as well is not, um,
	away from the firing line either in this respect because he was the director of public prosecutions for the Rochdale grooming gangs and played a role in the charges not really sticking actually and actually in 2022 one of the Rochdale victims came out and said they felt betrayed by Starmer for what he'd done so the notion of Labour you know potentially sorting this out is ridiculous because the man who helped
	Well, Starmer's unapologetically careerist, isn't he, and will take any tact that he needs to to advance his career, and I'm sure at the time he saw that, well, if I actually push ahead with this I might be jeopardising my own future, so therefore I won't.
	So, sadly, typical politician.
	Awful.
	And the Home Office came out and said in 2020 that the grooming gangs come from a diverse background.
	They're not just Pakistani men.
	They're from everywhere, which is probably why Ella Hill didn't get the response she wanted from the Home Office.
	And just to hammer my point home, here are some of the mugshots of these diverse It seems so obvious to me.
	I don't know how they can get away with it.
	And here's an even more compelling one.
	Look at this diversity.
	I mean it's every kind of Pakistani man you can possibly imagine.
	In my experience as well when you speak about this on social media you get a lot of the Otto English twat fan types posting news reports of grooming gangs that have been caught within Britain that are made up of ethnically British people as well and say well see this is also a problem here and as if that's As if that's any kind of response.
	But also, these people were arrested as soon as it was discovered that they were doing this.
	These people had no political campaign surrounding them trying to obfuscate what they did, or their own ethnicity in this.
	This is something that was solved, as it should be, because we don't want that.
	Why would we want to, one, be importing more of this problem, and two, why is it that there is the political atmosphere where we hide the problem?
	That one to Valtteri is annoying because this is a very specific problem and this is a problem that has been swept under the rug for so long.
	So yes, address both problems.
	Absolutely, yes.
	So one of the other things on top of that which I find really annoying is people point out, well actually the majority of abusers in the UK are white and that's because for the meantime, you know, they are the majority of the population, right?
	Just about.
	Yeah.
	This is per capita.
	Again, people not wrapping their heads around per capita or ignoring it.
	So, you know, per capita, the Pakistani men are more likely to do it.
	There are just fewer of them.
	This is basic statistics.
	For now, as you say.
	Yes.
	There is some things being done.
	So there is Operation Stovewood, which has about 200 officers working on all of the different grooming gangs.
	They specifically name Rotherham, but I think it's, you know, they're involved in Yorkshire and lots of the northern towns where it's been going on.
	And they say they have recorded 1,367 crimes Arrested 209 individuals and nominated 1080 survivors and 20 people have been convicted.
	So only 20.
	And you can get an idea of the scale from some of those other figures, right?
	And 20 people have been convicted.
	So only 20.
	And you can get an idea of the scale from some of those other figures, right?
	137 crimes, but only 20 people convicted.
	And they say a total of around 250 years.
	But if you divide that by 20, that's not very much.
	I mean, personally, I think things like this are why the death penalty exists, right?
	But even that if they're really managing to convict 20 people it wouldn't matter the death penalty existed because I'll be just 20 out of the 1367 and Well, it's certainly better than nothing.
	It's a drop in the ocean.
	It's not really addressing the scale of the problem.
	Well, of course, this is similar to the response that was made at the Cologne 2015 New Year's rapes that occurred, where thousands of German women We're sexually assaulted in the middle of the street.
	When I was looking into that a few weeks ago, and you go through to the Wikipedia page and you look at the charges that were brought against people, it was thought that there were thousands of men going out and committing sexual assault that night.
	Only a few hundred were arrested, and of those who were arrested, at least on the Wikipedia page, there's only about 13 of them who actually got convicted with anything.
	Why are they getting so few convictions?
	Well, I imagine an element of it is that a lot of it is someone's word against someone else, because a lot of it might be historic, and so it's difficult to find evidence.
	So that I could understand, but also I think there's a matter of willpower as well.
	If everyone in the country was saying, we need to sort this out, I imagine that there would be a lot more being done.
	And there has been some additional things since this was set up, I think, in 2014, if I remember rightly.
	And yes, it was.
	And there is also this as well, which was set up by Rishi Sunak.
	One of the few good things he's actually done.
	This was set up in April of 2023, a grooming gang's task force.
	And I believe it has worked with all of the police forces in England and Wales and it says in the last 12 months, and this was published in May of 2024 so it's relatively recent, they have helped arrest over 550 suspects.
	So that's not necessarily convictions but the arrests are at least promising.
	So something seems to be being done but it's just not enough.
	And I think that the way you address this is you find out who these Pakistani men are and you either put them through the courts and reintroduce capital punishment, because I think that's the only punishment befitting a crime such as theirs, or at the very least deport them.
	I feel like deportation is too good for them personally.
	Yeah I agree and I'd go a step further.
	I think if these are predominantly Pakistani men that are doing this we stop importing people from Pakistan.
	And I was going to be getting on to that because they have a culture of doing this in their own country and we'll be looking at examples of this which are just absolutely shocking.
	I mean I couldn't actually believe it.
	I knew it was bad but the extent of the problem is horrendous.
	So There's also a problem with once they are in the actual justice system they only get what 12 years and then he was retried and got another 12 years and it's just ridiculous he'll probably only serve six because normally if you if you have good behavior you get about half of your sentence
	Well, there's a massive NGO blob entirely dedicated to making sure that these people either get off or don't get the time or punishments that they deserve.
	Yeah, so here you've got the Metro reporting that grooming gangs are sentenced to nearly 350 years for the rape of eight young girls and 350 years obviously sounds like a lot of time.
	However, I believe 24 members so and I think the exact figure is 346 so if you divide that by the 24 that's an average of 14.41 years and if they have good behavior that is only seven years in prison for what they've done which is not nearly enough that's an albino by the way I thought so yeah yeah I was gonna say I don't mean to bring the tone down but this is a literal demon
	Literally included as part of this line-up.
	Of course, but this one's more visible than the rest.
	Is this cultural or is this genetic?
	I don't know.
	I know that there's a culture of it in Northern India as well, and obviously Pakistan, Northern India, connected.
	Not the best of friends politically, but genetically they're far more similar.
	And we know from the statistics in this country that most children with deformities and retardations are Pakistani because there's a lot of inbreeding.
	A third of all birth defects that go via the NHS are Pakistanis.
	So I don't know why they're here at all.
	They're paedophiles and they're so inbred that they're costing the taxpayer a lot of money via the NHS.
	Well what I was going to add to answer your question, what that sounds like is a cultural practice that has developed its own genetic defects because as a cultural practice it's an incredibly dysgenic one.
	Yeah of course.
	I mean, you look at the faces of the people in the grooming gangs, they're all hideous.
	I mean, physiognomy isn't exactly... it doesn't lie, you know, really hideous looking people tend to not be the nicest as a general rule.
	This isn't going on YouTube, just say it!
	That's true, just look at them!
	But um, yes, also there is...
	This as well.
	This is January of 2024.
	They're now 12 years on from their sentence.
	There are two still in prison, two more fighting deportation and five free to roam the streets.
	Sorry, there should be no appeal on deportation.
	If you've committed a crime, you're gone.
	That's it.
	You're done.
	Who's defending these people?
	How do we punish them?
	Lefty lawyers.
	Human rights lawyers.
	Yeah, because this isn't a case of, well, you know, it's still in the system, we're still chasing the convictions, nothing's been decided yet, no one's come to a decision.
	Harry!
	These people have been convicted!
	Oedipals have rights too!
	No they don't!
	No they don't!
	This is the problem though, isn't it?
	But they do!
	Well yeah, I suppose so.
	They should lose their rights.
	Absolutely.
	There's also this as well, Rochdale Grooming Gang leaders still lives alongside victims despite deportation order and I actually heard a story through Callum of a lady who was abused when she was still a teenager in a supermarket and she ran into the one of the men that abused her In the supermarket.
	Oh my goodness.
	How we can allow this to happen in our country is unbelievable.
	It's just... We are so weak.
	I know.
	So, cutting to today, this was published 11th of June, so it was only two days ago, how child sex grooming gangs still cast a shadow over Rotherham locals, warn abusers are continuing to prey on youngsters more than 12 years after scandal was exposed, so why, campaigners ask?
	Is more not being done to stop it?
	And I think we've answered that question already to a certain extent.
	But I'm just going to read a little bit about what the Mail has reported here.
	Although another seven men were this week found guilty of a horrific catalogue of multiple rapes and sexual assaults, many more trials are still in the pipeline, casting a continued shadow over the area.
	Local people, including victims, say they believe criminals are still grooming and abusing the young.
	The time involving gangs from a swathe of ethnicities rather than groups of mainly Pakistani Muslim men.
	So I thought this was interesting because the Mail normally doesn't report on this sort of thing right?
	In that it's saying well it's many different ethnicities.
	Normally they've said it's Pakistani men.
	This makes me think perhaps that the grooming gangs themselves have been aware of the narrative and maybe they've got a few people in.
	They're diversifying.
	Yeah, camouflage themselves saying well it's not a Pakistani problem.
	Well again if you go back to this one you can see this one odd man out clearly doesn't look like he's of the same ethnic background of the rest of them.
	This guy looks like Eastern European perhaps.
	He looks certainly just European.
	He might be some working, well, underclass Englishman or Eastern European, like you say.
	So maybe you are right.
	Maybe they literally said, oh, wait, if we all get caught in a lineup, this looks bad.
	Let's get this guy involved as well.
	Maybe it was coordinated like that.
	It might be more sinister, it might be just that evil attracts evil.
	If these people are getting away with raping young girls for decades, other people who want to rape young girls might think, oh I could have a go too.
	So yeah, maybe Rochdale and Rotherham and places like that is sort of paedophile mecca because they're going to move there.
	They're magnets for degenerates.
	So, where were we?
	Okay.
	So this from GB News I found very interesting.
	On the note of GB News, I got in trouble while I was working at GB News for using the term Pakistani Muslim rape gangs on air.
	They said you can't call them rape gangs.
	I said well this is what they're doing, they're raping young girls.
	You can call them a lot stronger than that even.
	I believe this lady is a safeguarding minister and she told GB News, one of the figures, some 20% of child abuse convictions involve grooming gangs, she said, which just speaks of the scale of the problem, right?
	So these are largely Pakistani men that have no right to be here and if we got rid of them all, We could reduce the amount of child abuse by 20%.
	And that's just convictions.
	You presume it's a larger percentage than that, right?
	Then why is no one doing it?
	Well, it's obviously this fear of being called racist, but of course that means that you're getting children raped.
	By being a coward basically.
	Do you care more about children or racism?
	But to hammer this point home that it is a Pakistani problem, Wikipedia even has an entire page about violence against women in Pakistan and this, you know, Wikipedia known for being quite left-leaning and even there is saying it's a major public health problem and We can showcase some examples of this.
	So this is a recent story, 10th of May, of a British teenage girl in a bar in Crete and then a Pakistani man followed her into the toilets and raped her while on holiday on a beach.
	And yeah, even when they're elsewhere, right?
	Even when there isn't a community, they see an unattended young girl and that's all they need to really see.
	They don't consider the morality of what they're doing is Just sickening really and also this is in Pakistan itself.
	A woman was gang raped, murdered and then hung from a tree in Pakistan.
	This was 2014.
	And there is a blurred picture of it, which I feel like I don't know whether I should show that.
	We're good.
	Okay, good.
	I wasn't going to.
	I was inclined in not showing it but OK.
	Well, that is something that happened, and it's worth reminding people.
	Here's the page here.
	The UK is home to the largest Pakistani community in Europe, with a population of British Pakistanis exceeding 1.6 million.
	Woah, 2.5% of our population.
	Yes, 2.5% of our population.
	That's stupid.
	And you might notice the distribution in the UK is also heavily centred around the areas where all the abuse is going on.
	Wow, that's a coincidence, isn't it?
	It is.
	It's almost like it's an entirely Pakistani men problem, right?
	I think that there are certainly some communities that are engaging in this as well, but it's undeniable that Pakistani men, usually taxi drivers, are abusing young British girls in a way in which is systematic, is community-based, and our institutions are doing nothing about it.
	What would it take to deport 1.6 million people?
	The political will to do it.
	Yes.
	That's what it would take.
	They would say, they would like to flutter about and say, oh well it would cost this much, it would cost that much, it would cost this much, but the amount of money that we would probably have to spend on it, one is a bill I'm willing to pay, and two is a bill that is probably already dwarfed by the amount of money that we're spending on foreign nationals being in our country illegally in the first place.
	Of course that is 1.6 million legal, you know, the people who are here illegally and they're known for bringing their, you know, extended relatives living in their basements and what have you.
	Overstaying visas.
	Yep, so that's probably closer to 2 million if we're being even, you know, conservative in our estimates and it's a horrifying problem.
	Alright then.
	Cheer us up Harry.
	Thanks for that.
	I don't know if I'll cheer us up entirely but I'll give everybody a new reason to hate.
	No, I'm only joking there.
	Everybody knows that I'm not a huge fan of Boris Johnson.
	I doubt anybody watching this show is a big fan of Boris Johnson.
	Even just yesterday on the podcast with you and Stelios I was discussing What's going on in Ukraine and Russia, looking at the events in early 2022 after the conflict had begun, where Boris Johnson inserted himself into the peace talks and immediately decided to back Ukraine and say, no peace, just keep fighting, we'll back you for everything, which turned out to be a poison pill, because of course all that's really meant is that the conflict has raged on and on, dragged on and on, more people are dead and injured than needed to be.
	But he's made a lot of money.
	Oh yeah, he made a lot of money out of it and, you know, I'm sure that he felt that he would get some kind of Churchillian statue remembered as some great war leader.
	Not going to happen.
	He also locked us down for almost two years while breaking his own rules.
	He's done plenty to make anybody in their right mind distrust him and also distrust the Conservative Party for acting as a platform for someone as unscrupulous, as dishonest, As disgusting, if I'm perfectly honest, as Boris Johnson to get into a place of political power in this country.
	He acted as a platform for him to do all of that.
	How many children does he have with various women dotted around the country?
	He's sort of set up franchises, hasn't he?
	I think that says a lot about a man.
	We don't actually know.
	There's a guesstimate.
	We don't actually know how many children he has.
	How bad is that?
	That's kind of all you need to hear about a person, isn't it?
	Before you, you know, question their character.
	That he's dishonest about his own children, how many he has, and which women he's had them by.
	That's all very good points, but I came across this yesterday by an account I like to follow.
	He's very, very interesting, called Horace.
	He's got a substack as well where he posts lots of interesting articles that you can check out.
	He did this thread talking about Boris Johnson, and I thought it would be a good reminder that, again, Boris Johnson's entire career has been one of betrayal.
	and uh of the British people and lying to his intentions well actually to be fair this is not necessarily lying he's been very open about this which is that his entire career up until Brexit and including Brexit seemed to have been orientated around granting amnesty to illegal immigrants in London and the rest of Britain
	Which given the sorts of subjects we were just talking about a moment ago with certain ethnicities and grooming gangs and their involvement with one another seems to be a foolish thing to try and do if you are a nationalist and care about this country and its well-being because the likelihood is a lot of those illegal immigrants are criminals already by virtue of having broken into the country or overstayed their visas and such and Boris Johnson wanted to open a route to allow these people to be rewarded.
	For it.
	It's the old Ronald Reagan plan from the 1980s with his illegal immigration amnesty that he put forward through the 1980s where Ronald Reagan said well we'll grant amnesty for all of these illegals who shouldn't be in here in the first place but we'll let them be citizens and we'll let them pay their taxes because we need the large tax base it might make us more popular with those particular ethnic groups but we'll also strengthen the border at the same time.
	What ended up happening?
	Well you had a lot of Amnesty granted, was the border strengthened in any meaningful way?
	Has America's illegal immigrant problem, for instance, been solved?
	Or was it seen as an incentive for more of these people to break into the country and take advantage of the system?
	And they do take advantage of our system, as we are all well aware.
	So this is going all the way back to 2008, seems to be one of the first times he called for this.
	He said that deporting these criminals just wasn't going to happen.
	Why, you may ask?
	Why is that impossible to do?
	Well, again, political willpower is not on the side of deporting people who broke into the country in the first place.
	Still isn't.
	This is the old Michael Gove thing, when he was talking in the 1990s and saying, well, of course what's happening to the country is terrible, but we can't do anything.
	To do anything would be un-British.
	I remember in the mid 20th century when people tried to invade our country in boats.
	We had a little something for them, didn't we?
	I think that may well have to be a consideration these days.
	Yeah, but the idea that the nation that once was in charge of the greatest empire the world has ever seen shouldn't do things because doing things is not in our character, that speaks more to the character of these people than it does to the character of the nation as a whole.
	It talks to the fact that the character of statesmen that we have had for the past 30, 40, 50 years has been absolutely pathetic compared to the statesmen that used to lead this country.
	We haven't had any, have we?
	Boris Johnson is probably one of two.
	Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson are the only two politicians we've had since Margaret Thatcher that have had anything about.
	Yes, and even then I would say that with Boris, it's been a veiled illusion.
	It's been a thin veneer of charisma that he's been able to present himself with as this, I'm a fun bumbling guy, don't take me too seriously.
	When in the background, he does seem to be someone I would characterize as genuinely evil.
	I would say he's a bad person, but...
	But Johnson back in 2008, he called for an earned amnesty for thousands of illegal immigrants living in London.
	This was back when he was mayor.
	Claiming the notion that they will one day be deported from the UK is just not going to happen.
	He was trying to commission a study into the feasibility of granting an amnesty for all of these people.
	And he was expecting the report at the time, I don't know if it was made.
	Johnson argued that a mass program of expulsions would be both costly and legally difficult.
	A more sensible idea, he said, would be to introduce earned amnesty, whereby after a period of about five years, and that's just basically five, if you're able to evade the law for five years, congratulations, like GTA, your wanted star level fades away, here's your citizen, here's your passport, here's your citizenship, let's start getting our taxes off of you.
	Absolutely ridiculous idea, and given that the attempts by this country, it seems, to track down and deport illegal migrants in the first place is woeful and pathetic, this is just saying anybody who gets here, by whatever means, can stay forever for no reason.
	And given that the demographic breakdown of London is what it is already, that is partly to do with the fact that Boris Johnson and others like him have encouraged that.
	Why?
	Why do you think this?
	Why do I think that Boris Johnson is in favour of this?
	Well his own reasons that we'll get onto later is basically he does the classic reasoning which is that he himself descends from, certain parts of his ancestry descends from foreign backgrounds.
	He had a great-grandfather, I think, who was Turkish, who came over to the country.
	I heard this story too many times during the referendum.
	Therefore, therefore we just need to open the floodgates to everybody because there was one person who came integrated, married in and became a model citizen.
	That means everybody in the world who's willing to break who knows how many laws to get here illegally in the first place should be allowed in because I'm sure that this one person was representative of the entire world and their intentions.
	But that might be the reason that he gives, but what do you think is his motivation?
	What do I think is his motivation?
	I couldn't say.
	I couldn't say for certain outside of that motivation.
	There's no way that that's the real answer.
	I couldn't say outside of that motivation that he gives.
	I have a potential answer.
	Go on, go on.
	I think he blows with the prevailing wind, doesn't he?
	The sort of neo-liberal, open border, Soft and flabby liberalism is the prevailing ideology and it's where the most money can be made in politics.
	He was a journalist, went into politics, he's been in politics for a long time.
	I imagine he's aware of this being the case.
	He has connections to people who are probably Rather rich from this sort of thing and I think that it's why lots of politicians do what they do is just to make money.
	I wouldn't be shocked he of course belongs to a different class to 99% of the rest of the country and I'm not saying that in just in terms of wealth I'm saying that he belongs to the political class who see themselves as over and above us he's part of the globalist class.
	And so he doesn't really care what happens to the nationals within any country that he happens to be in at the time, he just cares that he's able to take advantage of a situation and make money from it.
	So at this time, in this article, they report that there was around, and this is even an estimate back then, 400,000 illegal immigrants known to be in London.
	Right.
	And let's be honest, It's probably about 10 times that now, given what's been going on since then.
	That was 15 years ago, right?
	Yeah.
	His solution to this was, give them citizenship.
	LMAO.
	That's it, just, well they managed to stick around, so why not?
	Johnson was expected to lobby the Labour government once the feasibility study was complete, although both, and this is 2008, this was under New Labour, this was after Blair had left and Gordon Brown was in power.
	Both Labour and the Conservatives regarded the issue as politically toxic and have in the past attacked the Lib Dems for suggesting it.
	So Johnson, even back in 2008, was far, far, far, in terms of his stated goals with this, far, far, far to the left of even the new Labour establishment at the time, and even to the left of David Cameron.
	Which is remarkable.
	In 2013, he was talking about it again.
	He said that instead of reversing Blair and Brown's treason, the Tories should exceed it by giving illegal immigrants everything that they want.
	So in here, he said it was completely crazy that people who have been in the UK for years are not paying taxes.
	Why is it not just completely crazy that they're still here?
	Honestly!
	He said the authorities stopped chasing people here after about 15 or 20 years, which is not an excuse, that just shows that the people who are doing it are either bad at their jobs or willfully not doing their jobs.
	And even David Cameron was slapping it down at the time in 2013, not necessarily because I think David Cameron has any great love for this nation or its people, just because it looks bad and won't win votes.
	It won't win votes.
	And here's where it talks a bit more about his own background, saying that he's Turkish in this article, saying in 2015 Johnson cited his foreign ancestry, Turkish, saying that I'm the great-grandson of Turkish immigrants, where would my family be if London hadn't given sanctuary to my great-grandfather?
	So I'm totally in favour of people being able to make their lives in another country.
	Best advert for closed borders I've ever heard.
	Again, you see that he's using that as a justification for this globalist ideology.
	Well, if globalism allowed me to be born, then I'm not going to prevent it for anybody else.
	Because he's using, like you say, it's a stated excuse for his beliefs that he already holds, which is that the world is not anywhere that's made of distinct peoples who have values in themselves and a culture that deserves preserving.
	The world is basically a large Financial zone for me to make money where nobody matters and I can plop people from one part of the world to this part of the world and they should all get along because wishy-washy bullshit.
	It's a fallacious argument anyway.
	I mean my grandparents would have met unless World War II happened.
	Doesn't mean I've got to be grateful to the German leader because of that.
	It doesn't follow.
	It's one that's thrown at me all the time, because obviously I'm anti-immigration.
	They're like, but your grandparents were from Jamaica, they would have never met, your parents would have never met, you wouldn't exist.
	Well, I can't go back in time and change the immigration policy then, but we can change it now.
	So it wouldn't affect me, actually.
	It wouldn't affect me at all.
	No, of course.
	And again, even going back to then, numbers were small enough that the people were able to integrate much better than they are these days, where we've created these enormous ethnic blocs within our cities where the people keep to themselves and they almost have their own internal economies that don't contribute to the rest of the country.
	And then you get the problems with um criminal gangs you could say not just in terms of sexual crimes that are committed but just drug gangs albanians coming over here for most drug gangs in the uk now are ethnic minority a lot of them particularly the ones that are most associated with the most violent crimes yeah we don't even control our own cocaine industry in this country i know Can you believe it?
	It's an absolute disgrace.
	He was also going on about this during Brexit, so... I was right there.
	I was just behind him there.
	Were you actually?
	Really?
	Oh my goodness it's remarkable in this when I listened to this speech where he just says that you know like oh I'm pro-immigrant and pro-amnesty for them and he gets kind of an awkward the crowd knows we should probably be cheering because that's what's right that's what's done in this situation but I don't know about that Boris The line we were trying to say in this moment was that we're not anti-Europe, we're anti-EU, and we wanted to control immigration.
	We were saying that actually people could just come over from wherever they are in Europe, and that's not good.
	We actually want more nurses from Australia, more doctors from Canada, etc, etc, but they couldn't because the Commonwealth didn't have the same agreements as the EU, and so the EU is discriminatory.
	That's the argument we were trying to make, but he was letting us down.
	Well, yeah, it seems that that wasn't the argument that he was trying to make, sadly, because of course all of these visa routes were opened after Brexit that has changed the composition of immigration since then.
	So it seems that it's remarkable knowing that now you can go back and look and you say, well, it seems that whether we knew it at the time or not, Boris was pointing in this direction the whole time.
	And then when he was foreign secretary in 2016 he was talking about this.
	In 2020 he was talking about this as well.
	The media were portraying it one way but then during Covid which of course was something that he implemented, the locks downs, he implemented the mandates that were going on.
	In February 2021 Johnson's government began using the Covid vaccines as an excuse There's an excuse for the illegal immigrants to access GPs and get through access to the NHS through that.
	This was reported here.
	Illegal migrants vaccine amnesty up to 1.3 million are urged to register for a COVID-19 jab to drive for herd immunity with promise they'll face no action from the Home Office.
	1.3 million?
	And that's just estimated numbers because of course the ONS and other official government bodies they don't want to let us know how many illegal immigrants there are in this country because we of course have the official numbers which even then seem to be quite lackadaisically collected
	For the amount of illegal migrants that come into the UK, but when you look at other things that I've looked at in the past where you've got sewage overflow and you've got the amount of phone contracts that are registered in this country, it seems that we're possibly undercounting by about 10 million, possibly even more, illegals who shouldn't be in this country in the first place.
	Well it's getting to the point where you need to put contracts out on them and send people out like bounty hunters to start bringing them in because the state simply doesn't have the apparatus to deal with a problem of that scale.
	Yeah, and even if they said that was what they were going to do, as the Tories have been doing with the whole Rwanda plan for a while now, it seems that they don't either have the competence or the willpower to go through with it.
	They're more than happy to let themselves get jammed up in the system.
	The most egregious thing about this is that Someone's first act of coming into your country is breaking the law and we're meant to trust these people.
	They could be anyone.
	I don't want a single person who's broken into this country illegally in the country or ever be able to come back again.
	According to Johnson, he was just a very eager taxpayer in waiting.
	That's what he did.
	He was going to the UK, he was going, God, I just can't wait to give the UK government my tax money.
	That's why they arrived.
	I actually don't care if he does give us tax money, if he's still raping young girls he needs to know.
	Yeah absolutely, absolutely.
	So yeah that's just another reason that I'm a particularly big opponent of people like Boris Johnson and the Tory establishment for again having given him a platform through which to spread all of this and I think in light of all of this it's not particularly surprising that his government pushed through all of the changes to immigration and visas that they did after Brexit was implemented.
	Because, of course, Brexit was, in how it was done, a massive, massive betrayal of what people were voting for in the first place.
	But, yeah, there we go.
	So let's see if you can cheer us up and tell us how we should invade France.
	Give us some hope, Calvin.
	Brexit means Brexit and that means we can invade France!
	We can invade France because France is a blooming mess right now.
	No one knows what they're doing.
	It's all upside down.
	We think things are bad here.
	So obviously we had Rishi Sunak call a snap election.
	We had Members of his cabinet suggesting they may issue a vote of no confidence in him to push the election back because they don't want a summer election because of monetary reasons, so they'd prefer a winter election.
	And so there were internal threats about that.
	We've also seen this week that his SPAD placed a bet three days before the election was called that there would be an election.
	I didn't hear about that.
	Inside of trading, yeah, he put 100 pound bets on that there'd be an election.
	That's dodgy, isn't it?
	Very dodgy, actually.
	His closest spat.
	So clearly there's something going on there.
	So there's a similar madness going on in France.
	I don't believe in coincidences.
	A general election called in France at the same time as a general election called in the United Kingdom, snap elections.
	What's going on?
	People think there's There's some kind of movement of the right and things to look forward to.
	We're getting a bit of hope from it but I think maybe we need to look a bit deeper at what's actually going on.
	So I figured let's look at France as an example.
	Until this weekend, well, Macron called an election for the sake of, well, I don't know what reason really.
	Some people are suggesting that after the EU elections went the way that they did, that he seems to want to try and re-inspire some hope and confidence within his own party.
	How the two connect with one another, I'm not entirely sure.
	Especially seeing as his own position isn't a threat at the moment as president.
	Right, so they got demolished in the EU elections.
	So the moment you get demolished, you think, OK, so let's have another election.
	Very strange.
	Right.
	Doesn't make sense to me.
	I mean, maybe you guys can see it differently to what I can and you can... No, I'm somewhat confused.
	I've been trying to figure it out because it makes sense for Rishi Senak because at least he's sort of getting it out the way.
	I think the idea is they're thinking long term and recovery in maybe 10 years.
	Right.
	Whereas with Macron, he's got a decent amount of time left in office, right?
	And I don't know whether that's also the Presidency as well, I've not looked into it, or is it just for their equivalent of their Parliamentary elected body?
	I think they're both at the same time.
	He's dissolved the French National Assembly and called an election on the 30th of June, and that's what this is.
	But if we go to the next slide here...
	What's happening whilst he's done this is the left have collected, well they've come together as the left do, they're very collectivist, and they've announced that they're going to form a, what this is talking about here, is a popular front.
	It's a very populist language there, National Front-esque.
	I thought populism was far right according to many media What does populism mean?
	We're all supposed to be against populism but if populism means anything it's what the people want, right?
	It's addressing the issues that the people are talking about.
	So the left came together really quickly and said we are putting together this Popular Front and we see here that Raphael Glucksmann is heading up the Socialist Party for the EU election.
	So he's tried to thwart this alliance.
	We can have a little look at his body language but unless you speak French it's not clear.
	Right so this is the head of the Socialist Party saying we cannot have an alliance of people on the left and whilst this is going on the French are taking the mick out of him because clearly he is upset that the left are coming together without him and we're going to get to the right in a moment because they're even more messy so most of the left are together Glucksman is separate on his own and so the right as a response Say we're gonna roll splinter, we're gonna split.
	This is Eric Chioti, so he's the president of Les Republicans, who of course are the mainstream liberal conservative party, so Jacques Chirac and Sarkozy and all of them.
	They're people that think they're conservative, but we would say they're left-wing.
	He announced that he wants to do an alliance with Le Pen.
	Again, unless you speak French it's not that relevant, but you can see the surprise in that the so-called centrist party is wanting to align with the so-called far-right party.
	- - Again, unless you speak French, it's not that relevant, but you can see the surprise in that the so-called centrist party is wanting to align with the so-called far right party.
	This is how things are shaping up at the moment.
	In response to that, top officials in his own party are outraged.
	They're claiming he speaks only for himself, not for his party.
	He needs to resign the presidency immediately.
	So here we have Gérard Lachaise, so his vice president, saying, no, he doesn't speak for us.
	This has nothing to do with us.
	Likewise, Olivier Mollet, Chiatti is not speaking for us.
	He is not speaking as the president of Les Republicans.
	So the right, the centrist right are imploding.
	Pretty much similar to what we're seeing over here.
	As a response, he shuts down their HQ.
	So Chiatti has said, I do speak for the party.
	And in fact, no one else is going to go into the party.
	Here we can see footage outside.
	This would be the equivalent of CCHQ locked up.
	That's quite something.
	That's, dare I say, Napoleonic, almost.
	Well, it's a bit tyrannical, isn't it?
	So we will align with Le Pen.
	If you don't agree that I am in charge, I will lock up the party.
	So the far right and the centrists will become one.
	And of course the left door.
	Taking the Michael out of all of this.
	It's a Scarface isn't it?
	Yeah it is!
	I am the President!
	I mean, you don't need to speak French to understand what that says.
	But he's saying he's trying to prevent a coup, and this is why he's locked up the HQ.
	That's what Liz Truss should have done.
	Well, I think you might need to bless her.
	In response to that, so now we have Annie Genevard saying... It's alright, I have a spare key.
	This is the Vice President letting the party back in.
	Ooh, it's a heavy door though.
	It is a big door.
	French politics is a joke, isn't it?
	I'm beginning to think most politics is a joke.
	I mean, a locksmith could have really changed that.
	So if they just had a locksmith present, it would have been a very quick scandal.
	So we have Aurelien Pradré, a Republican MP, in front of the closed doors of the headquarters, saying they'll get emergency services to break them down.
	They didn't have to because they had a spare key.
	There we go, this is her saying, we will break down the doors if you don't let us in.
	You do not speak for the party.
	So the presidency is completely disengaged.
	So the presidency is completely disengaged.
	And then the official statement, and we have the Bureau of Politique, which is the French for political desk, saying essentially that the party itself, so les republicans, have announced that they're going to meet with Chioti from the so les republicans, have announced that they're going to meet with and they've met behind his back And what we're seeing here in this official statement is that he is no longer the president, but he's also no longer a member.
	So they've kicked him out, kicked him out of the party officially.
	So they really did get their coup in the end?
	He's disagreed.
	And he's released his own statement saying that their meeting was illegal.
	In response to that, I mean, the politicking, the internal politicking just goes... This is giving me sort of flashbacks to when I studied the French Revolution.
	I know.
	Of just the politicking, just like, yes, your meeting was illegal, therefore I am still right.
	Things like that going on then as well.
	Some things never change.
	So here we have him saying, no, they can't kick me out.
	I am still the president.
	They can say what they like.
	And the beef goes on.
	So here we have him saying, no, they can't kick me out.
	I am still the president.
	They can say what they like.
	And the beef goes on.
	So essentially, no one knows who's running the center-right party in France at the moment.
	I wish they would pause when you switch tab.
	Now, at the same time as this, we've got the VP.
	Of the party.
	So, Guillaume Carillon, I can't speak French, my accent is awful, saying that... Guillaume Carillon.
	Thank you.
	There you go.
	Saying that with Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, we share 90 to 95% of the same ideas.
	So, here we have more people backing the idea that we have to form some kind of alliance.
	We're all on the same page here.
	So, essentially, it's just madness on the centre right of French politics.
	And so, if we move on to the actual right of French politics, Here we've got Marianne Maréchal.
	So this is the granddaughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, who isn't in Le Pen's party.
	She formed a party with Zemmour.
	And so this is the RN, which is the National Rally, so similar language to the National Front.
	But if you look at the guy on the left's face as she's announcing, so what she's saying here is that we are going to form an alliance with... Well, that is Zemmour on the left, isn't it?
	Yes, that's Zemmour on the left.
	So he's clearly either unaware that she wants to form an alliance and or does not agree.
	And bear in mind, he's the founder of the party.
	And bear in mind, he's the founder of the party.
	He looks like he wants to throttle her at the minute.
	He was kind of like awkwardly like...
	He's like swaying with anger.
	This is my party and you're speaking at my podium and announcing that we're gonna be forming an alliance.
	Why she's not in her family's party I don't know but reconquer is the movement that they're gonna they're gonna align with and so there she is.
	So she's announcing that she met with them, with RN, at the end, and heavily hinting that conditions have been met for an alliance, they're making some kind of pact, and she's going to get rid of Zemmour.
	So there's a coup in the center-right party, a coup in the so-called far-right party.
	So Zemmour's party, Reconquette, is forming an alliance with RM, the National Rally, and the founder of Reconquette, Zemmour, is being deposed.
	But he's very popular.
	If they do that, their polling is going to go down, right?
	Because he, you know, had a bit of a surge, if I remember, in the last election.
	He did much better than people expected.
	So it makes no sense?
	No, it doesn't.
	It's entirely for short-sighted political reasons rather than actually winning.
	Well, I'm not sure that any of this makes any sense yet.
	No, not really.
	And so Zemmour's decided, actually, no, you can't do this, I am still the president.
	So very, very similar scenario to what just happened in the other party.
	Tried to depose the president, the president says, no, you can't do this.
	it's not reasonable and rational because we have to you know it's concrete it's simply dimanche soir we can't put any candidates essentially he's saying I'm not going to form an alliance and instead I'm going to send my own candidates and he's calling it a triple mistake for Marshall to call for an alliance with RN uh And so, they're just as messed up, so Reconquered are just as messed up as Les Republicans.
	And so people on the right essentially have no one to vote for yet.
	Whereas the left got together straight away.
	I was going to say, could this be possibly what Macron was hoping for in that case?
	That if he was going to throw a snap election, basically throw everybody into chaos, he knows probably instinctively that the left already have alliances that they can rely on.
	Whereas the right seem to be much more disorganized in this and possibly when somebody more like Zemmour is more of a threat and obviously an actual right winger you could say that what you're doing is you're almost going to guarantee that to maintain respectability they already are a bit wary about aligning with somebody like Le Pen given that she's literally a fascist as they would like to say.
	They don't want to go with somebody who's even more radical than Le Pen like Zemmour.
	Or left-wing economics, Le Pen, if I remember rightly.
	So perhaps there's this feeling that one, you throw them all into chaos, and two, at the same time you're going to be further pushing out dissidents from the system.
	I think that's exactly the plan, at the same time as discrediting them.
	So Macron comes out and says essentially that this new alliance, this popular front, so here he's attacking the lefty alliance, are anti-Semites.
	And this is because Jean-Luc Mélenchon, so he's the head of the French National Assembly, are pro-Palestine.
	So he's associating pro-Palestine arguments with being anti-Semitic.
	He's saying they're gauche and indecent there.
	He's speaking your language, isn't he really?
	What, French?
	No, the language of snobbery.
	Oh, right.
	I can speak both.
	Oh, right, you speak both constantly.
	That's true, yeah.
	Well, maybe not French.
	It's not the same thing.
	Or it used to be.
	And then we have Alain Finkelkraut, one of France's foremost Jewish intellectuals, saying that he might actually be obliged to vote for Le Pen in order to block anti-Semitism.
	And as we can see from Arnold Bertrand, who's put this wonderful thread together, as a reminder that Le Pen's party was co-founded by Pierre Bousquet, who was a former SS lay.
	French politics is very, very strange.
	In order to not vote for the anti-Semites I need to vote for the party that was founded by an SS.
	I suppose when you had a government that was in coalition with the Nazis in the mid-century, I suppose, during occupation, that there is going to be a lot that's tied up in all of that that still lingers to today.
	The same way that they were able to say the Brothers of Italy I think that's the name of the party, correct?
	Sounds familiar, yeah.
	Moloney's party.
	The way they were able to say that, oh, that's neo-fascist because it had links to Mussolini.
	Mussolini was a big part of Italian politics for the first half of the 20th century.
	Most of the parties have some kind of residual connection.
	Well, it's a similar argument to saying, oh, you drive a Volkswagen.
	Oh, I didn't realise you're a fan of Adolf.
	You drink Fanta?
	Nazi.
	That's true.
	Fanta has a connection with the Nazis.
	Yeah, they made it specifically for them because it had a different sort of combination of ingredients and it had ingredients which the Germans had in abundance whereas Coca-Cola didn't and so they wanted to continue selling to them.
	That's really interesting because black people really love Fanta.
	Oh my god!
	I quite like it as well.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I enjoy Fanta.
	Fanta lemon is my favourite though.
	I don't know where that came from, but this is just a mess of French politics.
	It's absurd.
	I don't understand a thing of what's going on, but I don't think the voters do either.
	And so we've got these elites such as Macron just stirring the pot, making everything a mess.
	We've got parties on both sides just deposing their leaders and forming coups.
	And so no one knows who stands with who.
	They've got to form allegiances because they don't have first-past-the-post.
	It's not PR, but you know, it's that second vote system, representative system.
	And so people, they have to join with other people, but none of them actually get on.
	Who needs theatre when you've got French politics?
	Right!
	So that's where we are.
	Oh, fantastic!
	I enjoyed that.
	Normally I'm the one that will cover, you know, continental politics.
	It's nice to get filled in for a change.
	So, we have some video comments, and it looks like Sophie.
	You know, the thing about gay Star Wars is that they are acting like they're doing something brave and daring and we should take notice, but they're just doing the same thing as everybody else.
	It doesn't matter what channel I turn on, there will be a gay kids.
	Everything is gay!
	Star Trek, gay!
	The Last of Us, gay!
	Spiderman, gay!
	Superman, gay!
	Scooby-Doo, gay!
	Doctor Gay!
	Oh, don't play the clip!
	The funny thing is, as far as I'm aware for The Last of Us, I've played the original Last of Us, great game, there's the implication that that one character is gay in the story.
	It's not said outright, but it's pretty heavily implied.
	So the showrunners went, we need an entire gay sex episode.
	That's what we need.
	And like I said, like I said yesterday, Hollywood and Disney, they all seem to be going, well, we're a particular type of person, gay, so we need to make our films and television shows for a particular type of gay.
	We just need everything to be gay because we're only, we're all a bunch of narcissists and we only care about our own perspective.
	Yeah, the main takeaway I got from that Star Wars interview where they were talking about, well, we've made the gayest Star Wars ever and we just so both happen to be gay is that they can't write stories beyond their own experience.
	Also, they're plummeting in the sales.
	Disney made a 600 million loss last year.
	Did they really?
	Nobody wants all this gay stuff.
	They just want stories.
	Yeah, you can just go on the internet and find it.
	You don't have to turn on the TV.
	But no one cared when an occasional character happened to be gay.
	Because that was like real life.
	The occasional person happens to be gay.
	But now it's all gay, gay, gay down your throat.
	Everyone's like, we don't want this.
	And they're turning off.
	Like, it's stupid business.
	It's just rubbish.
	No, I wholeheartedly agree.
	I don't even really turn on my TV.
	Actually, most of the problems in the world, in the Western world, would be solved if people turned off their TVs.
	Well, thankfully, more and more are.
	I don't really watch television anymore.
	I don't really play that many video games anymore.
	That's where you get me.
	Which is sad.
	I've just got personal stuff stopping me from doing that.
	I'm planning on playing the Elden Ring DLC.
	But that's another industry, right?
	That I don't understand.
	Because most gamers are...
	well quite based right but the games industry is massively gay oh yeah so again they're always shoving the gay down your throat the japanese are sort of bastion of hope the japanese are on some other they made um they made elden ring and also they play the they made the other game which i'm going to play when i get around to it which is dragon ball z kakara yeah but they also make all the pedophilic stuff as well so well i'm not playing any of that stuff i'm not playing I'm just saying they're not a bastion of hope.
	They've got other degeneracies going on.
	There are games producers that are good, from software in particular, that make the game that Harry's on about.
	They're great.
	I used to be a member of the games industry and wherever I went it was always rainbow flags here and nose piercings and pink hair there and I just thought there's such a disconnect between these people in this room and the people who are going to be playing your products.
	Do people not think, how do we make a product that people are going to like?
	I think a lot of it is because they just see the audience with disdain.
	That disconnect you're talking about is one where the people making the games really hate the people they're making the games for, which is why they're trying to shove it in their faces.
	And it's probably something the same with Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment industry, right?
	Customisable characters have been a disaster for mankind, that's what I'm saying.
	It's like the progenitor to trans.
	No, I'm joking.
	That's AA's argument!
	I'm joking as well.
	Right, but it's not just contempt, it's also Patronising, isn't it?
	Because they think they're going to educate us.
	They think they're going to make us better people in their image.
	I hate the lot of them.
	A Gentleman's Observations of Swindon, Chapter 3.
	Following Bishop Odo of Bayeux's imprisonment in 1082 AD, the estate of High Swindon reverted to the Crown until it was bestowed by Henry III to William de Valence, under whose ownership Swindon's first recorded market occurred in 1259 AD.
	High Swindon remained fairly undeveloped until, under the manorial system, it came into the possession of Sir Thomas Goddard of Upham, who acquired the manor of Swindon from the Crown in 1563 AD.
	The Goddard family subsequently served as the unbroken sequential lords of the manor until 1927 AD, when the last male heir died.
	I presume that would be why there is a Goddard Arms in Old Town, which is actually quite a nice pub, nice play garden.
	Enjoyed that history lesson, as always.
	Thank you.
	So you want to know how we live in a dystopia?
	Getting regular milk, and this is regular milk, real regular milk.
	I had to go to a very fancy grocery store.
	You can't find it anywhere else.
	And this was just the way our great great grandparents or great grandparents used to live.
	Everyone drank this.
	There was no such thing as ultra pasteurized homogenized milk.
	And you know what?
	That actually tastes really good.
	Good for you, man.
	I need to try some raw milk.
	Where I live, there's a market that sells it, because I don't even think they sell it in supermarkets in this country, do they?
	I've never found one.
	I don't know.
	I presumed that...
	I thought that we have milk where it's not been filtered or pasteurised, where it's basically creamy in a different way.
	That's the Jersey milk, but I don't think that's not pasteurised, I just think that's a very specific kind of milk that you can get.
	Raw milk's different.
	What's the benefits of pasteurising milk?
	Well, it kills the germs, but I think that it also has some sort of effect on the nutritional value.
	I think that's the argument for raw milk.
	But it's actually against YouTube terms of service to advocate for drinking raw milk.
	Really?
	Yes.
	I did a lot of digging recently to figure that out.
	And yes, if we advocate for raw milk, we will get a strike on YouTube.
	Is that because YouTube deems it to be harmful?
	Yeah, well, it's clearly not harmful because it's, you know... I mean, you can drink it straight from the animal.
	Yeah, I've had milk where I've squirted out the teat of the cow into a cup and then drank it straight away.
	And it was fine, I'm still alive.
	In fact, it was quite nice.
	I think milk is the reason we have expiry dates on food.
	Because I remember, I can't remember who it was, but there was someone who got ill from milk, from drinking it when it was too old.
	And they sued, and then... How could you not tell?
	Well... Surely, just open it, and then... Oh, God!
	Right, but some rich guy's daughter got ill, and so he sued them, and then... Oh, that's why.
	We've had expiry dates on our food.
	George, are you sure that would be tea to the cow?
	Oi!
	It wasn't a bull.
	Samson's getting cheeky.
	Oh, that's it for the video guys.
	Fair enough.
	I'm going to be very cheeky and nip to the toilet because I'm... You're bursting, are you?
	That's alright.
	Back in a minute.
	Run, Harry, run.
	Right.
	Are we not live?
	We are live.
	He's gone.
	See you, Harry.
	See the level of professionalism I have to put up with Calvin.
	We've only got a few comments left to go through.
	I know yeah anyway so Captain Charlie the Beagle says regarding the grooming gangs I find it particularly weird how quiet the feminists have been over it surely this is a prime target for them to point out Britain has a rape culture though then again maybe if these people were That's right.
	Indigenous, sorry.
	It's very small on my screen.
	I'll move it a bit closer.
	That would be the case.
	But no, I agree with the point entirely.
	Yes.
	And I think there have been one or two feminists that have said things, but it's sort of flown under the radar a little bit.
	And it's not been a wide scale thing.
	It's not like been a national campaign, has it?
	No, again, it's your priorities, isn't it?
	What's your priority?
	Is it feminism or is it protecting the vulnerable?
	Well, I think the feminists that we tend to butt heads with tend to be doing what they're doing because it's a sort of resource extraction exercise, isn't it?
	It's that they want the key positions.
	They don't want to put in the work to get it with the ultimate goal of making more money.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I'm a very cynical man.
	I think that most of politics is resource extraction.
	I think experience makes you cynical.
	I would like to think so.
	Every cynic was once an optimist, right?
	Absolutely.
	So, Andrew Narog says, I think deportation is fine and just sentence for these groomers, send them back to hell.
	Yeah.
	I feel like Pakistan might be better than dying.
	I've never been, so I'll have to get back to you.
	But it's probably pretty close.
	Yeah, I think hell's probably worse just because it's perpetual.
	You're there forever.
	If they were both perpetual then I think Pakistan might be worse.
	Perpetual Pakistan worse than the seventh circle of hell.
	You heard it here first.
	Omar Awad says we spent the modern day equivalent of billions to end slavery but deporting a few rapists and murderers is a tax bill too far.
	Zero effing seats.
	Zero seats!
	Yes, that's what I like to hear.
	Someone online says, of course, the grooming gangs are still operating.
	Nothing was done about them.
	That was the whole scandal.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Well, some sort of piecemeal things have been done, but it's not nearly enough.
	I think that pretty much every normal person wants more to be done about it, that knows about it.
	Peter Harvey says all the police that specifically didn't want to deal with a grooming gang issue because they feared being called racist should be arrested and charged as aiding and abetting the crime.
	It is traitorous to the whole job which is to punish crime and I entirely agree with that and in fact I've spoke to police officers that have talked about this and just how unconscionable it is and I know people who worked for the police that have had
	You know, questionable things go on, and I think because they're treated so poorly now, a sort of unintended consequence of that is that actually they're more willing to die by their principles, because it's like, why am I going to care about this job?
	It's not that good anymore, you know, we're thrown under the bus at the first opportunity, so you know what, screw you, you're trying to cover this up, and we may well see a bit more of that.
	And it's part of the wider image, a wider problem.
	I'm back!
	You know that the Manchester Bomber got away with it because the police officer, even though he saw something suspicious, was afraid of being seen as racist.
	Yeah.
	It's somewhat concerning, isn't it?
	It is.
	So we're just talking about... The Manchester Bomber.
	Yes.
	Fun.
	Could we?
	Yeah, cheers, thanks.
	See, I made a promise to myself when I started this job, which is if I'm ever going to wet myself, it won't be on camera.
	I can't believe you went to the Lubid podcast!
	Ah, it's fine, we're in the comments, it's fine.
	Callum did it.
	Callum's the one who did it first on a podcast with me.
	He broke that seal, one might say.
	He set the precedent, and therefore I'm only continuing what is now a time-honoured tradition.
	Chat, make sure to pea-shame Harry a little bit.
	I don't know, did I tell this story on the podcast or was it just in the office and on the proper horror show stream about the Scouser?
	What?
	Did I not tell you this?
	You might have done.
	I'm sure I told you this.
	Oh, the Scouser that tried to start a fight with you when you needed to go to the toilet.
	When I was bursting for a piss.
	I was in a lovely little market town a few weeks ago on a really warm Saturday and I'm walking out of this road And I stepped to the side of the pavement so that I can, you know, look left, look right, sensible citizen to cross the road.
	I don't want to be splattered on somebody's windscreen.
	And I'd seen this guy walking in my peripheral vision.
	And I assumed, oh, there's enough time for me to, you know, stop and he'll just walk around me like a sensible person.
	How wrong I was.
	It turned out he was a very angry, possibly drunk scouser who stood, bear in mind he's about head shorter than me, and stood glaring at me.
	Hey, hey, what the fuck do you think you're doing, hey, lad?
	Hey, hey.
	Quite a good impression, actually.
	And I looked to him, I took my headphones out and I was thinking to myself, are you actually doing this right now?
	Is this what you're really doing?
	So for the first time since probably university, I had to swear up to someone in the middle of the street.
	So I just told him, just walk around next time mate, you don't want to do this right now.
	And it went on like that for a few minutes.
	Bear in mind we're at the side of the road, cars driving past, so I think to myself, right, if anything does happen, one of us could fall over, something bad could happen.
	Eventually he does go around, and he walks off shouting horrible things at me as he walks down the street, so I tell him to jog on.
	But the whole time that was happening, I was bursting, I was desperate for a piss.
	And I thought to myself the whole time I was thinking, I could easily take you in a fight.
	I'm much bigger than you, but I will piss myself if I do.
	And so I'm glad that he didn't make me wee myself to defend myself.
	Although someone has suggested that it would be quite a terrifying sight, an enormous man pissing himself in rage.
	Do you know, I've never met a male Scouser that either didn't try to be violent to me or threatened me with violence.
	Never in my entire life.
	Or wasn't drunk.
	That's probably true as well.
	It was just such an absurd thing to get annoyed about.
	Apparently I stopped in his way and that was enough to deserve violence.
	Absurd, absurd man.
	If he were truly English he would have just said excuse me and then moved around you.
	Indeed.
	Very passive aggressively.
	I'll read a couple more comments and we can move on to yours Harry.
	It's alright by me.
	Ruthiday says the rape segment is enraging as always.
	Cheers fellas.
	One hopes their reward is coming soonish and proportional so no more children have to be abused.
	Absolutely.
	JDHW says 60% of the most wanted criminals in England are foreign.
	That doesn't surprise me and in fact I think Britain has the third highest number of foreign criminals in all of Europe.
	Do you know there was an interesting thing that happened on Twitter a few weeks ago?
	Do you know the YouTuber goes by Some Ordinary Gamers, an Indian Canadian called Mutaha?
	I know him, yeah.
	He got into an argument with people who were talking about France's incarceration rates and the fact that the majority of the prisons have Muslims in France because of just how much more they commit crimes than other peoples.
	He took massive offense to this and somebody said three-quarter of France's prisons are filled up with Muslims and he corrected them and he said, actually I've just looked up the figures online it's only 50% It still proves their point.
	As if that was some kind of own, honestly.
	Only half.
	Oh gosh.
	Should I read mine?
	Sure.
	There's only two under mine on the document.
	People were so angry they couldn't even type.
	They just couldn't do it.
	Yep.
	George Happ, I find new angles to hate Boris from every day.
	Being a WEF puppet, implementing the lockdowns, destroying peace talks for Ukraine.
	Of course, as I mentioned yesterday, there was a lot of different factors into that, but Boris and other Western leaders going over and saying, We'll support you no matter what, Zelensky.
	Certainly must have been a contributing factor.
	And also cheating on his wife with that progressive tart, Carrie.
	What a catch he was for GB News, huh?
	Yeah.
	Thomas- Has he ever actually done anything for GB News?
	I know he was orig- after, um, after I think you and a few others got kicked off, he got signed on.
	Yeah, they announced it because the ratings were plummeting and he had to do something, but I think it was just a PR front.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	I've not seen anything because normally you would expect at least a clip to pop up on Twitter or something, but I've not seen anything.
	I've just seen a comment.
	This is a recurring thing.
	We've been trying to find the source of desk banging on the podcast and apparently it's me.
	I've been hitting the desk.
	So I put my hands up.
	It was me all along.
	I'm guilty.
	Please deport me.
	I'll read the other one from Thomas Howell saying, The Liberal West.
	Because of my exception, this is now the rule.
	Doesn't matter the scenario.
	All the immigrants I know are doctors and engineers.
	My father worked in a steel mill till he could afford a corner shop.
	I only know rich Ghanaian Africans who are entrepreneurs.
	Whatever reflects from their caste's belief.
	Is verboten.
	So yeah, that's absolutely right.
	Of course there are exceptions, of course there are good people from any community that you can think of, but you can't think that they're entirely reflective of the mass as a whole.
	And that's a sad thing that I think people, I think to a certain extent the political class understand this because they're just speaking epithets to get people to agree with them.
	But those underneath them I do think have this It's an overt way of thinking where I can only judge by the individual.
	There's no such thing as patterns, there's no such thing as larger groups.
	I can't judge from that because it's what we're taught as we grow up.
	It is.
	And having to get yourself out of that mindset is quite difficult.
	Having had to do it myself, there is a lot of intellectual and cognitive dissonance that comes with it, but it is important that people need to recognize that, well, yeah, the exception isn't the rule.
	It proves the rule, but it isn't the rule.
	And would you like to read through your comments?
	Let's go for it.
	North Blood says, I don't look into French politics often, but the last time I looked into it, the left political parties, excluding Macron's party, had already tried a unitary front, or united party, and it was filled with nothing but infighting, and it collapsed, leading to them to being in opposition, and to vote being split for the last decade and a half.
	Well, I mean, It seems to be the rule over there.
	Let me just zoom in.
	Yeah, infighting is the norm in French politics.
	Is it time to invade France?
	Yes.
	Lewis Hill, I like your style.
	AzDesertRat says, is there anything to gain from invading France?
	Yes.
	That's a lot of land, a lot of resources, good wine, good cheese, what?
	Yeah, French wine, particularly their red, is my favourite.
	Best in the world!
	They've got nuclear power plants over there as well, haven't they?
	And I like France more generally.
	I'm going to lose my citizenship, but... Well, also, we could build a hard border on the way to France so that people would stop coming over the Channel.
	Yes.
	It's always time to invade France, says Geordie Swordsman.
	Reject the lads on Tour Paradigm, return to the lads on Gavarsi in Normandy Paradigm.
	I like it.
	JJHW.
	Says Macron may be concerned that Ukraine is going to collapse and economic conditions are going to worsen considerably and he wants to push all the blame onto a new right-wing government, possibly.
	And Big Ed says, reassert the claims to Brittany.
	Yes.
	Normandy, yes.
	And Gascony, I'm with you.
	France is on like it's sixth republic and is clearly a failed state.
	It is clearly a failed state.
	They made the mistake of getting rid of their monarchy.
	They've not recovered since.
	And Geordie Swordsman says, meanwhile, at Le Republicans HQ, who are you, and how did you get in here?
	I'm a locksmith, and I'm a locksmith.
	We've got some honourable mentions.
	Would you like to go through them, or should I?
	Uh, you can do it.
	You only had a couple of comments, didn't you, so... Yes.
	Kevin Fox.
	Guys, guys, guys.
	You've got it all wrong.
	These directors and producers at Disney are actually super-based and right-wing actors pretending to be, uh, pretending, and big fans of Walt Disney.
	They've seen what the LG... I'm not going to go through it.
	Alphabet people?
	The alphabet crowd have been doing to Walt's legacy, so they've moved in to help bankrupt the whole thing to protect his legacy from perversion.
	Based.
	Would that it were true, my friend.
	friend the would that that were the that was the case no i think they're all just a bunch of insane gay communists i think disney has put out some stuff but even going back to the time of walt disney some of it uh i i've always disapproved of it personally Which in particular?
	I don't know I think there's some weird messaging I think that Disney films have given women really bad expectations for relationships because they're told that this is sort of the epitome of romance that a prince charming will just turn up I suppose they did clean up a lot of those old fairy tales, but that was mainly just for a younger audience.
	Those original fairy tales don't normally have very happy endings, so if you want to market it to children on a big screen... Children need to learn how grim reality is, Harry.
	We need to make them miserable.
	Just like you.
	I like those old Disney films.
	Jungle Book, Robin Hood, they were classics.
	Robin Hood was the fox, right?
	Yeah, that was a really good one.
	I liked that one.
	Yeah, and even going up to The Lion King and even the original run of Pixar films up to about up is really good as well.
	I'm not entirely against them.
	I'll happily defend.
	Being a Lolbertarian, you should be a big fan of The Incredibles, right?
	I am not a lolbotarian.
	How dare you?
	Well, I don't know.
	All I'm saying, Carrie Worm says it is illegal to sell unpasteurized milk in the UK, I believe.
	Well, in that case, I'm not going to dob in that one stall at the market that I mentioned.
	They do!
	So I can arrest some cows.
	I hear you've been sending out milk to people.
	So that must not be entirely right in that case.
	If there are market stalls that I'm aware of that are able to sell raw milk, unless they're just not branding it correctly and it is pasteurized in some way.
	Louis Pasteur has a lot to answer for.
	Arizona... I thought it was the Rothschilds.
	Well ironically, I'm pretty sure it was one of the Rothschild's petitions.
	That's in the United States.
	Was it the United States?
	I thought it was the UK.
	I thought he came and advocated at Parliament for occupation of Palestine.
	I'm looking it up now.
	And then also pasteurised milk.
	Pasteurisation of milk, Lord Rothschild, yeah.
	Yeah, there you go, 1946.
	That's rogue.
	Yeah, there you go.
	I think it was the only other thing he ever really spoke to Parliament about except for Palestine.
	Really passionate about milk.
	Yeah.
	Arizona desert rat, you have to be very careful about storing raw milk.
	If you don't store it correctly, you'll get sick.
	Otherwise, it's safe to drink.
	People usually get sick after they've stored raw milk improperly for a day or two.
	Raw milk also rarely has the added vitamin D. That's the main nutritional difference between raw and pasteurized milk.
	That's very interesting and thank you for letting me know that because I am planning on getting some at some point and seeing if drinking it has any sort of tangible differences.
	Try cooking it maybe.
	No, I'm alright.
	But I suppose what you're talking about there is no different from storing particular cuts of meat.
	You just store them properly or you'll probably get ill.
	Bleach Demon, just happy that Harry didn't decide to leave a Freddy on air.
	Oh goodness, our audience really knows how to bring the tone down sometimes.
	I don't know what that means but I can guess.
	Let's just say that Stelios found a present laid on the street out in Swindon.
	It was a present to the natives of Swindon from a, I presume, a bank person.
	A crackhead.
	Oh, okay.
	I thought you were going to say a cultural enricher.
	Perhaps.
	We've got those, we've also got crackheads and smackheads in the streets.
	They're not mutually exclusive, you know.
	Well, to be fair, the crackheads I see around Swindon do tend to be emaciated white people.
	Are they the only people that are left in central Swindon?
	I suppose so.
	The indigenous have resorted to crack.
	Stelios decided to name it Freddy and kept taking us one by one to go and see it so he could point and laugh at it.
	He's quite innocent really.
	He's got a doctorate in philosophy but he also has the humour of an eight year old.
	Bless him.
	There's no more on the document.
	Do you want to find any more?
	Sure, I'll have a quick look on the website.
	I'm just going to refresh it and have a look at some of the most recent ones.
	Kevin Fox says, but you can, Harry, but only if you are a leftist.
	After all, because 300 people in a population of 70 million were neo-Nazis.
	We're all neo-Nazis.
	I don't know about that, but God forbid you should say that because 60% of the Pakistani Muslim community are into grooming.
	You can't claim they all are.
	I'm a bit confused.
	Henry, this is what happens when I read the comments without them being filtered.
	Without any context.
	Let's end on one more, shall we?
	Henry Asselin says, what's the Anglican Church's official stance on annexing France and declaring the Angevin Empire whole again?
	Wondering if I can use my Norman ancestry to get a cushy government job?
	If Harry needs a jester when he rises to power, let me know.
	Why am I rising to power in this situation?
	I mean, I'm not going to turn it down.
	Actually, no, to be fair, would you take power if it was offered to you?
	Because you hear about all of the inconvenience that comes with it, the fact that people are going to try and assassinate you.
	Would you prefer to be a shadowy advisor in the background who nobody really knows about, and you can kind of go about your day-to-day life?
	I'm not very good at being shadowy.
	I would like to take power.
	I would like to be a benevolent dictator just for the rest of the country.
	There you go.
	Who cares?
	Don't let them bother you and they won't.
	Yeah, I think that I'd be a sort of Cincinnati's figure.
	Take power when asked of it but don't seek it, right?
	I think that... I thought you'd be more of a Salazar.
	Just because I look like him a little bit.
	But no, I think that people who seek power above all else, this is what Tolkien was trying to get across in the Lord of the Rings, that power for its own sake is evil but if you have Morals and virtues that you wish to enact and you achieve those and then you can settle down and you can grow your cabbages in rural Italy as since an artist did and I think that's what you should aspire to.
	But anyway that's supposedly a fairly positive note for a otherwise quite negative podcast so I hope you enjoyed that and I believe it's Common Sense Crusade after that.
	And I believe we also have Lads Hour tomorrow afternoon as well, so make sure to watch those.
	Thank you very much for watching.
	Isn't Desert Island Discs, is that what we're doing tomorrow?
	Yes.
	On how to survive?
	It's both.
	Oh, okay, alright.
	I'm running it, so I choose the rules.
	Can you just decide how to survive?
	Yeah, which record is the best weapon.
	And on that note, thank you very much for watching, and goodbye.
