	It is not long now until the most exciting election of my lifetime is going to happen.

	White rabbits, everybody.
	I am your host Connor, joined by Carl and Stelios.
	Hello.
	We're looking forward to the home stretch towards our amazing election night livestream.
	It's going to be really fun.
	It's going to be amazing.
	We've got some exciting guests ready to announce for you, but not just yet.
	We'll hold our nerve to discuss the news of the day, which is how they're desperate to sabotage Farage, how Le Pen is coming for the prime ministerial and presidential elections in France, and how Pride has gone full FUBAR, which I can't wait for that reference to be explained to the audience, Celios.
	I think people know.
	If you know, you know.
	If you don't know, now you know.
	We do want to say thank you for SC for sending us a care package of Neil Asher's books.
	He's apparently a fan of ours, so that's quite interesting.
	A pipe for Harry, so he looks like Commissioner Gordon, and some cigars for Carl, and some snuff for Dan as well.
	And I also want to say thank you to the nice woman who watches my show, who sent me a Costa gift card.
	by way of apology for disagreeing with Stefan Molyneux.
	You didn't need to do that, but I did really appreciate all the free coffee.
	So if you do want to send us things, we do have a PO box listed on the website, and we do appreciate all the gifts that you guys do send towards us.
	But without further ado, let's jump into today's stories.
	So the mainstream media and the political establishment have discredited themselves at a rate of knots, falling over themselves to try to get Farage on the fact that he's a racist, or an Islamophobe, or he's a bigot, or any of the others tired tropes that they've cried wolf about a million times.
	And speaking of the way that the political establishment have discredited themselves, on July 4th there is an election, and over at lotusseaters.com we will be the best place to watch this coverage with a rotating cast of guests, and if you fancy supporting us and keeping our lights on and even sending us video chats and questions to respond to on the night, you can sign up for 50% and if you fancy supporting us and keeping our lights on and even sending us video chats and questions to respond to on the And so you'll be able to get our entire catalogue of live and pre-recorded premium content in the future.
	It's well worth it.
	My colleagues Stelios and Karl have also done some fantastic work, so go join us.
	But on the Farage story, if you're wondering what's happened, well, cast your mind back a week.
	Remember this?
	We've got Andrew Parker here.
	So he's the Actor in question.
	I was very curious.
	For those who don't remember, Channel 4 did an expose finding a guy who speaks like Ray Winston saying all sorts of unsavory things about the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, how we should gun down Channel migrants as they're racing up the beaches of Dover, and how we should turn every mosque into Weatherspoons.
	Disavow, of course.
	People the next day, though, found it quite...
	No, I do like Weatherspoons.
	I quite like that one.
	People the next day found his profile on a website called mandy.com and it turns out that he's an actor with some very strange costumes there because it looks like he's playing Citizen Con but it's curious he says that he himself plays villain and mafia types, which I get offered often.
	And as you played in a previous segment discussing this, which I think Harry quibbled with, but I don't think was fair, he has a very posh to camera speaking voice and then instantly clicks into a Guy Ritchie stereotype.
	Which, very strange.
	Now I thought this was curious, and I tweeted this out shortly after someone at Reform let me know that they were on his case with this.
	What's curious is there's been some updates to that story since.
	So well done to AntifaWatch, which is at UnmaskedAntifa on Twitter.
	We'll be using some of his tweets as The story develops in this segment, but go and follow him.
	He's very good for breaking this story initially.
	Nigel Farage has since detailed on a BBC Question Time, which we'll also get into, and an interview with Trevor Phillips, some of these details.
	Farage says that when Parker showed up to the Clacton campaign office, he showed up two other guys he didn't know in tow, and those guys just turned out to be the undercover Channel 4 filmers.
	And Parker himself, who was looking around, said, I've got a big car, mate, in his fake Cockney accent.
	Why don't you jump in here and go with us?
	So the two Channel 4 filmers happened to get in his car.
	Really?
	And two other reformed candidates.
	And as soon as they shut the doors on the car and took off, Parker started saying all sorts of inflammatory things, seemingly trying to draw the other canvassers into saying something inflammatory.
	Now there's a reason that that footage wasn't included, because they didn't say anything.
	Because it didn't work.
	So the only footage they could get is of Parker.
	How very strange.
	So, uses his rough speaking voice the whole time, and for some reason decided to leave up his account thinking that no one would notice?
	He has acting experience where he says theatre and many films, he went to the road, additional skills, plays guitar, has a full car and motorcycle license, Yeah.
	But the thing I think that's interesting is, paid up Equity member?
	Oh, really?
	Why haven't they thrown him out yet for his abhorrent racism?
	That's the question.
	If he's so damn racist, why have the media not plastered his life story across the pages of the paper?
	This is the racist from Reform.
	And also, why have Equity not kicked him out?
	Why did it take a grassroots Antifa Watch Twitter account to investigate this, rather than hope for hate?
	Well, I tweeted this out.
	I was like, look, the only person we're hearing about this guy from is Nigel Farage himself.
	Why is the media not all over this guy?
	Why isn't he being cancelled?
	Yeah, they're obsessed with doxing raw egg nationalists for some spicy memes, but not a guy who wishes death on channel migrants.
	Very curious, that, isn't it?
	The fact that this guy hasn't paid no public price for his racism implies to me that this was a set-up.
	Yes, well this is what Reform are now alleging.
	So Reform believes that the production team may have done something untoward in securing the footage and then selling it onto Channel 4 and possibly didn't disclose the fact that they knew Parker was an actor when he was involved when they sold it to Channel 4.
	Reformer considering legal action against Channel 4.
	They filed a complaint according to reporting from the Independent and the like.
	I couldn't find whether or not that was to Ofcom or the Electoral Commission, but that will come out in due course.
	And Channel 4 themselves have denied any involvement, and so did Andrew Parker.
	But Andrew Parker curiously said to Charlie Pieces of GB News, this is a ridiculous conspiracy theory, etc, etc.
	And then lied about being an actor to the Telegraph, and then people found his acting page, and they were like, hmm, why did you lie?
	And then curiously, his acting page is gone.
	Oh really?
	It's an archive!
	That's fascinating, why would they take his acting page down?
	I suppose it's just such a convincing portrayal of a racist that he doesn't even need to market himself anymore.
	His inbox must just be full of playing the villain in Nigel Farage-inspired dramas.
	Is this him being cancelled from the acting career that he enjoyed?
	Possibly, but he hasn't put out a statement about that yet.
	Think so, wouldn't you?
	Very curious.
	Do you think Equity would put out a statement saying, yes, we've removed him.
	We're not going to have Truck with Racist.
	Yeah, don't worry though, if you're looking to hire him, he does have a profile on another website, as, uh, Isabel Oakeshott has found, where he curiously lists secret filming among his skills.
	Oh, really?
	There you go.
	How?
	Really, that's weird.
	That's weird, because that's exactly what he did with the reform campaign.
	That's shocking.
	Yes, also much has been made of the fact he did once work for Channel 4.
	Of course, if he's just taking gig work, that doesn't mean Channel 4 had any knowledge of him.
	But also ITV there as well.
	Yes, so seemingly an establishment creature who has worked for a long time in the space and nobody has complained about his racism if he's that candid when the cameras are off, or at least he thinks they're off.
	Yeah, you'd think he'd be a racist all the time.
	Yeah, the contrast between him being very posh and well-spoken saying, my name is Andrew Parker, I've been in lots of films, to going, oh, we should throw these people out the pub, mate.
	I mean, It's absurd.
	Nobody's buying it.
	He just happens to show up to the Clacton constituency doing his rough speaking voice, which, if anything, is very patronising to the people living in the area of Clacton.
	I don't know why you'd feel the need to lie when canvassing for a candidate you actually believe in.
	Also, funny thing about memory holding his content, he has a TikTok account.
	Oh really?
	And I went to go and find some of the videos because there are screenshots floating around about him doing lots of direct-to-camera videos.
	That's gone too.
	They're all gone except for one video posted last week saying we need Nigel as reform PM when Nigel is warning about Vladimir Putin possibly invading Ukraine.
	Right.
	Because of aggression.
	So the one mainstream narrative attack against Nigel is still left up.
	He's reinforcing it.
	But none of his direct-to-camera videos are still there.
	And Nigel himself said they've seen them and saved them, and he calls him a modern-day Alf Garnett.
	So they're caricaturish and, let's say, offensive to people of non-white extraction.
	Curiously, they're all gone, but the one video that might redirect to some smear against Nigel is still up on his account.
	Very weird.
	Now, look, we don't know whether or not he has been paid to say any of this.
	We don't know whether or not him being an actual actor implicates the production company more than it implicates himself.
	But clearly there are questions here and they'll be asked in due course.
	But the fact that Channel 4 dove on this grenade without vetting it in the first place shows just how desperate they are to try to smear Farage.
	And the establishment have all fallen in line accordingly because in the UK, as I think New York Post endorsed Trump at the last election cycle, we get media channels that come out and endorse candidates.
	And so the papers have started making their endorsements.
	Let's look at the series of papers whose readers often vote reform, but they seem to have fallen in line behind the Uniparty.
	First example, Daily Mail.
	So let's look at what the Daily Mail have said.
	So the Daily Mail have supported the Tories.
	Sorry, just a quick thing.
	Isn't that as bad as a condemnation?
	Like, oh no, the Daily Mail are supporting the Tories.
	The Tories are like, guys, just shut up.
	You know?
	We don't want to support the Daily Mail.
	Sorry, for anyone outside of the UK, the Daily Mail is not a very well thought of newspaper.
	Sorry.
	Especially after throwing Dan Wootton under the bus for doing literally nothing wrong.
	We've thrown literally everyone under the bus.
	Except, weirdly, Nadine Dorries, who wrote a pro-Tory article recently, despite releasing the plot, which accuses a Tory party of doing, and I'll be careful saying this, some sordid and potentially illegal things.
	But it's nice to see the Daily Mail finally nailing its colours to the Tory mast, right?
	As in, yeah, we're actually just, you know, the conservative... Just like the Telegraph.
	The Telegraph is famous for being the Torygraph.
	But the Daily Mail has found, like, yeah, no, we're just for the Tories.
	Well, what's really weird with this article is they've got a picture of Starmer right at the top.
	Notice something about this?
	Why have they chosen a photo of Starmer essentially larping as a Hindu... On a visit to India or something.
	...when they're endorsing the actual sitting Hindu Prime Minister?
	That's a great question.
	As if it's like, oh, you don't want to vote Keir Starmer, he pretends to be foreign.
	Meanwhile, vote for Rishi Sunak.
	That's weird framing by the Daily Mail.
	It's just like, I wouldn't have thought to do that, but there you go.
	So anyway, they write on Farage.
	That picture of, um... The picture of, uh... Okay, yeah, it's a guy visiting India, okay?
	Like, that's, yeah, you know... It doesn't make him look bad.
	It makes him look slightly awkward.
	Yeah.
	But then that's... It's kind of endearing, to be honest, which is annoying.
	I wouldn't say that, but I just... I'm very... I think for a regular person's perspective, that could look kind of sweet.
	But if you're trying to persuade someone to vote for...
	And British Indian Prime Minister and then you're using, but Keir Starmer's pretending to be Indian.
	It's like, so weird.
	Odd.
	But anyway, so they talk about to their readers who might be inclined to vote reform over Tory because the Tories have betrayed you for 14 years.
	They say, let's face facts.
	No other party can hope to govern or indeed have the slightest impact on the nation's fortunes over the next parliament.
	This is a two horse race.
	between the Lib Dems and Labour.
	So voters must not only decide who they want to see in power, but also who they don't.
	Disillusioned Tories may wish to punish their party for its manifest failings of recent years.
	But the Mail's advice to anyone to vote reform, tempted to vote reform, is simple.
	Don't.
	This disgusting outburst by one of its people calling Mr. Sunak an effing P-word, which I cannot repeat...
	Again, the actor said this.
	Is the latest evidence that this Potemkin party is not fit for purpose.
	Nigel Farage may have the common touch, but he revealed himself to be a Putin stooge.
	I think that's defamatory, personally.
	Aside from him, the party offers little more than bile, invective, and white noise.
	What?
	You're the Daily Mail!
	Yes.
	What is wrong with you?
	The Daily Mail is the most schizophrenic paper in the country, I swear to God.
	At least the other papers know what they stand for.
	Well, yeah, if they want to promote social conservatism but they actively have the sidebar of shame of some Love Island tart with her breasts out, it doesn't really... Yeah, did you see the Eddie Izzard article the other day?
	With amazing legs as they get on a bicycle.
	And they do like pro Lizzo ones as well.
	Lizzo looking amazing in a bikini.
	Stelios writing for the Daily Mail.
	No, I also wrote... No, I didn't write.
	I read the one about Nicole Schesinger.
	Of course you did.
	Stop gooning.
	Now's not the time.
	I have no idea who that is, but anyway.
	So they did a sort of tactical voting article on which Tory candidates to vote for.
	My advice is don't for most of them.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So on with the next ones.
	The Sunday Mirror decided to endorse Labour because of course they did.
	The most painful headline I've ever read.
	Be on the right side of history this time, vote Labour.
	Thank you, liberal establishment.
	The Sunday Mirror is basically a low-class communist paper.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Painfully lame.
	Interesting the times of endorsed labour.
	The mouthpiece of the One Nation Tories, which obviously there's barely a cigarette paper between their actual policy, they have expressed support for Stalmer's stances on Ukraine and Israel, because of course they have, because they're neocons.
	They have concern on his stance about taxes and legal migrants, though notably not legal, which is why they published William Hague's This is the Age of Migration article.
	And so they say, these sizable caveats notwithstanding, so these fundamental value conflicts, just ignore them, we cannot go on as we are and we believe now is the right time for Labour to be entrusted with restoring competence to government.
	Keir Starmer is going to continue the managerial globalist Blairite paradigm, and that's the paper of the elite of the managerial globalist Blairite paradigm.
	And this is what is really weird about the Labour rhetoric in this election, because basically they are saying the Conservatives, as they say there, have forfeited the right to govern, so give us power to do the same thing.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, they think that this particular manager of the regional branch of the global managerial brand has forfeited the right to govern, but not the brand itself.
	Yeah, correct.
	And so they just want to swap out Rishi Sunak for Keir Starmer.
	The interesting thing is, I should have brought this up actually, but on the train here I read a Guido Fawkes article where they uncovered Rishi Sunak's...
	Magazine article in 1997.
	Endorsing Tony Blair.
	Endorsing Tony Blair.
	So again, just the door revolves, doesn't it?
	It's just all Blairism forever.
	Yep.
	Also the Financial Times have endorsed Labour, because as David Starkey recently put in a meeting I was in, the Labour Party are now the parliamentary political wing of the global managerial class.
	Yeah, which is the Tory party has collapsed.
	Yes, quite, yeah.
	Again, they think they've repudiated this particular guy, not the actual order.
	So, all of the papers are against them.
	We've now got multiple broadcasting channels against them.
	TikTok, yesterday, midway through their conference, their sort of rallying event, decided to shut down the live stream when Anne Whittacombe said there were only two genders.
	Um, Tice obviously said that this is an outrageous biased attack on a major political party because we pointed out there are only two genders.
	Yes, obviously.
	They're always going to attack you.
	Stop trying to play by their rulebook.
	They'd sooner see you dead than victorious.
	Just remember that.
	And speaking of that, we have the BBC.
	Now, Nigel Farage is boycotting the BBC because of this question time.
	Did either of you watch this?
	I did watch it.
	Okay, so... First question, Nigel Farage, why are you a big racist?
	Yeah, well I decided... Second question, Nigel Farage, you are a big racist though.
	Third question, Mr. Farage, on your racism...
	God!
	I decided to spoil my Sunday morning by making a short compilation of some of these questions.
	We'll watch some of them just to ensure that the audience have context.
	I'm really not joking.
	Just how dreadfully biased this thing is.
	As I said to Adrian and Nigel, just to remind you that you're here to answer questions from the audience.
	You know, I will not interrupt you, that's my aim.
	Unless, obviously, you stray off the point, or in fact the question isn't answered.
	So let's start with our first question tonight, which is from Mark Corden.
	Hello.
	I'd like to know, what is it about you and your party that attracts racists and extremists, whether you say you want them or not?
	Well, I've done worse.
	I mean, that's one example from today, but what about the multiple examples from throughout your career?
	I mean, I'm asking about...
	Everybody, uh, you know, who said things about shooting people coming across, uh... No, no, no, no, no, no.
	I'm sorry.
	We need the third one.
	Trust me.
	Because do you know who these people are?
	Uh, they are hand-picked by the BBC because they work for the BBC, is that correct?
	Some of them are, yeah.
	That was what that man said yesterday.
	Let's talk about your record.
	You've very clearly wanted to distance yourself from this man, Andrew Parker.
	We've all heard that.
	Anyone.
	Okay, well, anyone.
	Let's talk about some of your candidates.
	So...
	I've thought long and hard about this.
	The kind of language that is ascribed to them, that is reported as having been said by them, is not the kind of language I would ever use.
	But also, we know what we're talking about, and forgive me if I offend you at home, I'm going to repeat some of it.
	I won't interrupt, I've been unbiased.
	I apologise for those offended by that.
	These are your candidates.
	Why are they still your candidates?
	Yeah, I mean, I know some of my friends, they have startup companies, but none of them employ a whole slew of massive racists like you.
	So, reason I went for those ones specifically, I mean, they just kept going on and on and on.
	I put them all together, it's about seven minutes of the same question being asked and Fiona Bruce, of course, is not impartial, there is no such thing as a neutral institution, they're just cloaking their insane establishment left-wing bias behind the pretense of Offending polite sensibilities.
	And these people have zero problem with his opponent in Clacton, who says that his favourite drink is drinking white man's tears.
	Yes, and they were much softer on the Green Party candidate who'd just shown up half an hour before, when 20 different Green Party candidates had made remarks such as, we should sink Royal Navy vessels, and were in support of various antisemitic things.
	So, you know, again, only cuts one way.
	The reason I bring this up though, is because We've done some digging, as has Antifa Watch, and found out exactly who these plants are in Question Time's audience.
	So, remember, never impartial, the first bloke is a BBC director and has worked with Doctor Who.
	Amazing!
	Amazing!
	It was just a coincidence, guys.
	We were just doing a random sample of the public, and it just happened to be a BBC director who got the first question.
	What are the odds?
	Yeah.
	Apparently 100%, but what are the odds?
	Sat next to his missus who's an actress.
	Amazing.
	Yeah, quite.
	Just coincidence.
	Now, if you think this was obviously a pure accident, one, they pre-screen all the questions.
	Yeah.
	So you have to write them down before and then they select it.
	And two, then the bloke went on his Facebook profile, making his profile photo a screenshot of him on Question Time, boasting about the fact that not only did I get to glare at Farage, but I was called on to ask the first question since made the BBC and ITV News reports to.
	These people are just midwit narcissists, all of them.
	This is total virtue segment.
	Yeah.
	And they provided a platform to essentially shape public opinion, despite the not credible...
	The representative nature of their views?
	That and also the not-credible smears levelled at frauds because the bloke who said all these things is an actor.
	So, clear election manipulation.
	Mark Corden may well know him.
	Yes.
	As a director.
	Has Mark ever directed anything the guys appeared in?
	That would be an interesting question.
	We don't know.
	But clearly he has a very prosperous acting career so who knows, couldn't allege anything.
	The other bloke who said I don't employ massive racists like you, again I'm sure he's an impartial guy except for the fact that he's a notable Palestinian and migrants activist.
	This man is called Salman Mirza.
	He's formerly British Army, 1986-1989, then became a trade unionist and now represents migrants and refugees in legal cases involving their citizenship, according to a Birmingham Live piece that is screenshotted in this thread.
	This is a sort of profile on him.
	So I did some other reading about it and it's curious because the BBC actually knows who he is because they did a puff piece on him in 2021.
	So he organised an anti-homophobia rally in 2021 in Birmingham because a couple of people were attacked walking home from home from a nightclub.
	Obviously, nobody should be attacked just because they're gay.
	Terrible.
	Though, considering this man is very pro-migrant and very pro-Muslim states, per Palestine, you'd think that he might analyse whether or not his politics are the type of ones that are endangering these people that he's coming out to represent.
	Because the person attacked in question was John Paul Kessler.
	And he was attacked walking home through Birmingham's Gay Village on the 10th of October.
	Now, the perpetrator must be one of those horrible reform supporters, right?
	No doubt.
	Well, the BBC reports that it's Usman Mirza, 29, from Tipton.
	And he was charged with two- Tipton?
	Yeah, two counts of assault and possessing an offensive weapon.
	Bit awkward, yeah.
	So Mr. Merz's politics are the ones endangering gay people here, not Nigel Farage's.
	But anyway, also something... Just a quick thing as well.
	This is all such obvious... I don't even know what to call it.
	Just a preposterous charade.
	Nobody thinks that Nigel Farage supporters are going to be a danger to anyone.
	There are a bunch of, you know, white English boomers.
	Yes.
	You know, sorry, nobody thinks they're a danger to anyone.
	It's just pathetic that we're even having this discussion.
	They're biscuit tin nationalists, not the BNP.
	I mean... Obvious Churchill fanboys.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's it.
	Who isn't a Churchill fanboy is actually Mr. Merza.
	Oh really?
	What a shock.
	And this needs to be maybe looked into, because he actually was planning to be a representative for a rival political party.
	Oh really?
	And that wasn't disclosed when he decided to get given a question, so he wanted to found the Never Forget Gaza Party.
	Oh really?
	Yeah, and this describes him as a politician, and he gave a statement to the article, so I assume he doesn't resent the characterisation of this.
	This was only at the end of last year.
	24th November 2023.
	Very curious.
	So I won't read his statement.
	Very Anglo-centric.
	Directly concerned with what happens in England.
	Average British patriot.
	England stand against Shabana Mahood.
	Yes.
	Again, sectarian politics that Farage warned about.
	What's most curious though, so I couldn't find whether or not he's running.
	I don't think he is.
	But that makes it even more strange because there is a Twitter account related with it where there's footage of him speaking at rallies last year saying never forget Gaza and then linked in the bio of this Twitter account there is a GoFundMe page and it's raised £2,000 and it says, if I just click on read more here, it actually says the amount they need to start up the party and they say we need £150 to register, £500 to register to stand the general election and £1,000 for the campaign.
	Right, so they made it.
	They made it.
	So why isn't he standing?
	Where's that money gone?
	Well, that's a great question, but, I mean, why isn't he standing?
	Yeah, curious.
	How strange.
	I mean, has anyone checked the electoral rolls?
	Maybe he is standing.
	Well, so, we had a look, and we can't find him standing.
	So if he is standing, then the BBC have actually broken Ofcom guidance on election reporting, because you shouldn't platform rival candidates without disclosing that.
	If he isn't standing, Where's the money gone?
	Because this is clearly a start-up that he wanted to start, and he may not have employed a bunch of massive racists, despite back in Palestine.
	I'm sure they're totally not.
	But he seems to have employed some people that aren't too good on finances.
	Or, perhaps, he just forgot Gaza after all.
	Oops.
	There we go.
	Now, this isn't the only time that this has happened.
	The BBC also, in a prior Question Time, I think this was the Seven Leaders Debate one, had a man in the audience they kept cutting to to shake his head whenever Farage spoke.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I remember.
	Yeah, do you know his name?
	Will Plante.
	You can't make it up.
	Will plant.
	Yeah.
	What were the odds?
	Works for the council.
	Digital inclusion lead.
	He's a DEI activist.
	Oh, what a show.
	The odds!
	The odds!
	These people are paid also, by the way.
	Yeah, we took a random sampling of the UK public and it just happened to be a BBC director, a Palestine activist, and somebody who works for a local council.
	Yeah, it turns out when reform's polling 20% but there's not a single reform question posed by the audience, there might be something funny here.
	A fifth of that audience should have been Farage supporters.
	Yes, and bear in mind they spent 30 grand on the Sunak Starmer question time leader debate for Time lost and travel income.
	So all these people have been paid to be there, so they're just funnelling money to their mates.
	Funnelling licence fee payer money, by the way, which you're forced to do if you're in the UK and you want the live television.
	But anyway, so I'll just wrap up on the last few bits.
	It gets worse.
	So this is an escalation.
	Now there are fake reform concessions by Conservative candidates.
	Oh yeah, what happened here?
	So this is Jake Berry, Sir Jake Berry, and this is a chap named Nick Harris.
	Now, Nick Harris was involved in Reform UK and was expelled for reasons that haven't been released, so I won't speculate as to what.
	He's apparently now working with the Conservatives to write letters saying, vote Reform, get Labour, with Reform's colours and not really any Conservative branding.
	So it looks like a concession by the Reform candidate.
	You wouldn't know this was sent by Conservatives.
	Exactly.
	So, that's very dubious, and I think the Electoral Commission, if they were fair and impartial, should be taking a look at that, but there you go.
	And then the other really dodgy thing is, there are now accusations that they're bribing candidates, coming directly from Isabel Oakeshott and Richard Tice, because a reform candidate is supposedly defected to the Tories.
	Why would you do that?
	Well...
	There's a reason.
	How many Conservative MPs are just not contesting their seats in this election?
	Above 60.
	It's like 75 or something.
	Multiple ones have been expelled from the party for sex scandals and watching pornography in the Commons and financial abuse.
	But it's not people who are nobodies either.
	Michael Gove is just like, we're not going to win this.
	Ben Wallace.
	But they know they're going to get absolutely trashed.
	And so you're like, yeah, you know what I need to do?
	Defect to the Tories.
	This is my time.
	A deal cut here, this is the suggestion.
	So this is Liam Booth Isherwood, no haven't heard of him either, who's standing in earwash and they said that there was a significant moral issue in light of the recent Channel 4 expose, again actor, and reports of widespread racism and sexism so he's endorsed the Conservative candidate in the seat.
	Well Richard Tice has come out and said...
	Well, yeah, he's pinned his colours to the mast here, Richard Tyson, he says, Tory candidates, probably involving CCHQ, that's his accusation, not mine, are offering jobs and inducements to reform candidates to persuade them to talk badly of reform, stand down and then endorse a Tory candidate.
	Today, a senior Tory former MP offered the candidate in her constituency a job as part of her team If she spoke badly of reform and resigned and endorsed the Tories, she has apparently secretly recorded the conversation and given it to the press, so that will be shared soon, so there's some damning evidence of that.
	Also, a reform candidate making false allegations against the party, in earwash, this candidate that we've just said, and he's saying, what was he offered?
	He needs to answer a question about that.
	And then there was also a reform candidate withdrew his nomination papers from a council on the 7th of June, minutes before nominations closed, and then endorsing the Tory Gavin Williamson.
	Sir Gavin Williamson, who must know where the bodies are buried, because he keeps being thrown out of cabinet, and then Yeah.
	given jobs and a knighthood very very shady and also apparently uh their dudley candidate reforms dudley candidate rejected an offer of a safe seat council seat from the local tories if he withdrew too there seems to be some chicanery here yeah trying to bribe people to stand down to give the tories a vote share that i don't think they would have had otherwise because people just hate the conservatives and probably weren't going to vote and so if all else fails if all else fails if they can't sabotage them channel four with the bbc with possibly cchq allegations pending
	Blame Russia.
	Because, of course, it's the absolute idiot's attack.
	This is Oliver Dowden, Deputy Prime Minister, who's saying, oh, Russian bots!
	There are five pages working on behalf of Putin, boosting reform, and that's why they're absolutely trouncing us in the social media game.
	It's an obvious cope.
	Yeah.
	Painful and pathetic.
	So I'm going to finish on one final clip and this is how reform should deal with it and I just quite enjoy this.
	So Beth Rigby decided to ambush Nigel at the rally yesterday and she kept asking about Putin and about all his candidates and then she got on to the topic of Andrew Tate who again I find objectionable.
	This is how Farage dealt with it, and this is the level of absurdity that they've gotten to at this point.
	There's another person I wanted to talk to you about, and that was Andrew Tate.
	What do you think of him?
	You described him as an important voice for men a couple of months ago.
	He really is.
	Massive.
	Huge, huge voice for men.
	Doesn't mean I agree with him in any way at all.
	Doesn't mean that I, you know, I'm not horrified by seeing some of the charges and the extradition that's probably going to happen.
	Do you think he's an important voice?
	Not for young men, not for me.
	He just said that.
	Why do you think he's got the massive following he's got?
	What do you think's going on here?
	I talk honestly.
	I don't support him in any way at all.
	But I can see for many young men he is important.
	You're aware he's been charged with sexual assault and people trafficking in Romania?
	Does that change your observation about him?
	I'll tell you what, let's execute him.
	You happy?
	This is the nonsense that we've got.
	Nobody can talk objectively, sensibly about anything.
	Andrew Tate is very important to a huge number of young men.
	Now that should worry you.
	That should worry you.
	The fact- Does it worry you?
	Of course it does.
	You disavow him then, Nigel.
	I've just done it twice.
	Three times.
	Three times in the cockerel crowd in a biblical way.
	It's a circus.
	And so we should just brush off all this stuff at this point because they're always going to hate you, they're always going to call you racist and they'll stop at nothing to sabotage what seems to be a genuine grassroots movement to represent the dispossessed white working class.
	Genuinely shocked that they didn't run with headlines, Nigel Fryer's calls for the execution of Andrew Tate.
	Genuinely, that amazes me.
	It's hemorrhaging the little folks.
	They are pathetic.
	So, I have some good news, and that is the centrist neolib consensus is falling apart.
	It's falling apart here, it's falling apart in Germany, and it's falling apart in France, because they had their What do they call this?
	The first stage of their parliamentary elections and Le Pen came out on top.
	Macron came out of the back.
	Everyone can see this has gone wrong.
	Before we begin, of course, on July the 4th we're going to be doing a live Rumble livestream all night.
	And if you want to support us and send us video chats to send in your thoughts on the election, go sign up to lucis.com using the code ZEROSEATS for 50% off your first three months with gold tier and send us those comments because they're going to be fun.
	It's going to be a good night.
	And hopefully we get something similar as to what's happening here.
	You may remember that the right-wing did superbly well in the EU elections.
	This was huge gains but not majorities.
	It's still like the centrist coalitions in the EU Parliament.
	But there were losses in the centre and on the left-wing coalitions.
	Weathervane is going towards the right.
	And so Macron decided to call a snap elections to prevent the far right rise in France, which in retrospect seems to have been a massive mistake.
	So they have multiple kinds of elections.
	They have a semi-parliamentary system in France.
	And so this election they've held just now is the first round of their parliamentary elections and then on Sunday will be the second round, runoff votes, which will be just... I can't predict anything because I don't know anything about the way that the things work in France, frankly.
	It's important to say that Macron himself will not be deposed from this because the presidential election is separate.
	Yes, because this isn't a presidential election.
	I think it's going to be in 2027.
	Correct.
	But this is the parliamentary election, which can basically turn Macron into a lame duck.
	So he can't get anything done and further increase the wind in the sails of the right and further just end up sinking the sort of centrist consensus.
	And so, yeah, Macron calls these elections knowing that the centre can't hold.
	And so his gambit was, well, We're going to be very reasonable.
	I mean, he says, you know, we acknowledge that voters are having difficulty getting by, even when they're working, very everyday difficulties.
	And this created anger and resentment.
	People feel they aren't listened to or respected.
	We can't remain indifferent to all of these messages.
	Why were you indifferent to this at all?
	Why is it that your governance makes things more difficult for people?
	Why is it that they feel disenfranchised?
	Why is it that this was normal for you, And you thought, you know what, I'm just going to appeal to the respectability of our party to get you back on site.
	Reasonable people will, I mean, he says, the voters have a choice between the unholy alliances at the two extremes who agree on almost nothing except handing out jobs, right, so your opponents are promising jobs.
	That's your pitch.
	I mean, that might be anathema to the French.
	True, true.
	Again, I don't understand the French.
	If that was the pitch here, that would sound good.
	But versus his own bloc, which has a single vision of the country.
	We aren't perfect, but we've got results.
	Now that sounds a lot like Sunak, doesn't it?
	The reason is, is because his constituency is not the French people.
	It is the esteem of global managerial technocrat class.
	It's the WEF.
	Well, yes.
	And the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
	When I say the WEF, I don't mean the WEF itself.
	I mean, the entire class of people who are pinned to it.
	Yes.
	You could say that if he cared about the French people, he wouldn't do such a reckless move.
	If he cared about the French people, he'd go ahead and make a retirement, wouldn't he?
	He'd just resign.
	Yeah, yeah, he probably would.
	But the point is, like, again, it's very much Sunak messaging.
	It's like, look, I know you've had us for, what was it, five years or however long?
	No, no, it's been in for two times.
	Yeah, it's been two times, so it's like coming on a decade of Macron ruining France.
	And he's like, look, so I've called this election and again, very much mirroring Sinek here.
	It's like, OK, I've called a snap election.
	Oh, it looks like we're about to get tanked.
	Oh, that was a mistake.
	I can't believe you don't want more of the same.
	And that's the only thing he's got to argue.
	And so the election went great for Le Pen.
	As you can see here, just the size of the crowds that Le Pen's drawing in.
	Again, very similar to Farage.
	Very similar to Trump as well.
	Very similar to Trump.
	You know, it's actually really nice to see this, actually.
	You know, those sea of French flags, that's great.
	They're not all white for one.
	Look, as an Englishman, I can approve of French patriotism when we're not at war.
	It's like winding up our little brother.
	Yeah.
	And so things weren't really great for Le Pen.
	Her, as Sky News report, her far-right National Rally Party, but also most popular party in France, so thoroughly mainstream at this point, far-right but most popular, just anyway, that secured the biggest vote share in the first round of France's parliamentary elections.
	After the first round of voting they had 33.14% followed by, so they have a, they don't have, it's not the individual party, they have a coalition of right-wing parties.
	Then they have a coalition of left-wing parties under the new Popular Front coalition, which got 27.9%.
	And then Ensemble, which is the sort of centrist coalition, got 20%.
	Again, centrism being self-appointed because now infinite migrants from anywhere outside of Europe is apparently the centre-ground position.
	Yeah, and this is a massive gain for Le Pen, because in 2022 they only got 18% of the elections for France's lower house.
	Massive gains.
	Massive, massive gains.
	And there was also massive turnout on the first elections.
	I was going to get to that.
	But no, no, you're absolutely right.
	The turnout was spiking.
	So evidently there's a lot of disenfranchised people who are looking at the status quo, the current international consensus, saying, you know what?
	We're not having this.
	We're having the pen.
	There's a 13 point swing among young women.
	It's went well in France, particularly because of Jordan Bardella.
	We'll get to that.
	So this, as you can see, is a massive backfire.
	For Macron, which everyone, you know, all the neoliberal centre-left consensus, blurry consensus papers, they're all panicking.
	They're all panicking about it, which is totally just and right and the way that things should be.
	If they're not panicking, you're not winning, basically.
	And so the question is, what does Le Pen intend to do?
	Well, first, she's going to end birthright citizenship, in which children born to two foreign parents in France automatically obtain French citizenship.
	Not even Trump's doing that.
	I know.
	Well, the Americans, the thing is birthright citizenship is very much a new world phenomenon, right?
	It's like your parents were born in France, therefore you get French citizenship.
	I mean, in the old world, we don't do that.
	For example, I had loads of friends who were born in Germany, who were on British camps in Germany, but they didn't get German citizenship.
	I think it only came in after post-civil war reconstruction, though, to ensure that black slaves were not discounted from the franchise.
	So it's a sort of antiquated rule to ensure that, of course, the black Americans whose parents are still there, because they were there at the founding, is very different to a Chinese woman who has a surrogate to then come over and Yeah, but almost all of the countries in the New World have just birthright citizenship.
	So if you're born on the land, then you get citizenship.
	Whereas in the Old World, and this is literally almost every single country in the Old World, it's through the right of blood, just soli, or just sanguine, sorry.
	So yeah, it's just normal in the Old World.
	People in the new world have trouble understanding that.
	And so this, I mean, Bardella has a great point here.
	The automatic acquisition of French nationality is no longer justified in a world of 8 billion people when daily evidence for inability to integrate and assimilate is multiplying on our soil.
	He's our guy.
	He's not wrong either.
	That's the thing.
	National Rally will also slap restrictions on family reunifications by introducing conditions on employment and income, and it'll separately unveil plans to reduce access to medical services for illegal immigrants to emergencies only, and limit welfare access benefits to French citizens only.
	Totally sensible.
	Totally sensible.
	Non-citizens should not have access to the benefits system of the country.
	Why is that controversial?
	Right, going on to law and order, if you can believe such a thing exists in France, there will be a reduction of welfare basically because teenagers will, age 16, will be tried as adults and families of repeat juvenile offenders will have their welfare allowances slashed.
	Very interesting.
	The one thing I didn't particularly agree with was France's police forces would be granted an automatic presumption of self-defense in cases that will involve violence, particularly when dealing with protests.
	The French police are a lot more aggressive than the English, and even often the Americans.
	Oh, yeah.
	So that's just the sort of culture they have over there.
	Yeah, I know.
	The American police are actually quite restrained when it comes to protests.
	The French police are aggressive.
	You see though that the French leftists are constantly burning stuff.
	We'll get to that.
	Dual nationals.
	This is a very interesting point.
	Dual nationals will be barred from holding jobs in sensitive strategic posts like defense.
	These would be reserved for French.
	Political opponents are, of course, really angry about this.
	For example, Gabriel Attal, Prime Minister, said, the message you are sending is that when we are bi-national, we are half-national, we are in fact not real French, and we would not be trusted to occupy positions of responsibility.
	Yeah, that's how you feel about yourself, because you haven't renounced the other nationality.
	Yeah, why are you holding on to the other nationality?
	Your own identity is... This is the same critique that people had of Rishi Sunak having a green card for America right before becoming a MP and then the Chancellor.
	It's like, yeah, you're an intransient man of anywhere.
	Why should I trust someone who isn't particularly rooted here if the job prospects are better somewhere else for governing me?
	How come we have a Prime Minister who literally has dual loyalties to other countries?
	That's mad.
	And so, yeah, that's a totally normal, salient and sensible thing to do.
	On foreign policy, they're going to cut funding to the EU by three billion.
	They're going to continue supporting Ukraine, but significantly reduce the amount they're going to send, apparently.
	And they are not going to recognise a Palestinian state.
	So the interesting thing about this, the top point about the 3 billion cut to the EU, I've seen reporting from Telegraph and actually from UnHerd from Freddie Sayers getting comment from Nigel Farage at yesterday's reform rally that are suggesting that this will instigate a sort of Liz Truss style event.
	The buzzword for that, of course, for the sort of establishment that haven't listened to Liz's case of why she was cooed out by bankers, is that if you have unfunded tax cuts you're going to crash the economy.
	And so the concern is here is that actually Macron's gamble hasn't not paid off.
	It's that Le Pen and Bardelar's party get in, National Rally get in, Bardelar being the Prime Minister, that they pull off Le Pen's policies, that the banks move against them, even though, as we spoke about before, unlike the Bank of England, they're not independently appointed, the head of France's bank is appointed by ministers, but the bank moves against them, the markets grumble, and try and discredit National Rally ahead of the 2027 presidential election, where Macron can go, see, told you so, I'm more stable.
	So they've got to play this very carefully to ensure the markets don't try and smear them.
	They do.
	Macron is very much a creature of the system and the system will support him.
	As we saw with Les Rasses.
	When it comes to social policies, they're going to... She's promised to scrap... I love this.
	She's going to scrap Macron's pension reforms that raise the retirement age to... 64, I think it was.
	And they're going to reinstate the traditional retirement age of 62.
	It's like, God, they're so lazy.
	I just...
	I have some reservations about this.
	Oh yeah?
	Yeah, because if the birth rate is falling and the French don't want to work for more, then they're basically creating a bomb that has to be addressed.
	Yes.
	So I think this is, um, it just varies.
	It's 65 and 67.
	No, no.
	When it's too hot.
	What's it in Italy?
	No, but this is an issue that has to be addressed.
	Wednesday to Sunday.
	This is an issue that has to be addressed because you can't have all of it.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	There are going to have to be trade-offs.
	Yeah, because Macron was basically saying what a lot of people in the EU were saying.
	The demographic is an economic problem.
	If you have a fertility rate, the population has to stay the same by immigration.
	So if Le Pen is coming along and doesn't address that issue, There's a question of, you know, how is this going to be... Well, one thing that Telegraph don't think that she's going to do is significantly cut immigration, actually.
	What they're saying is that she's going to cut the financial incentives for immigration.
	So I imagine that'll have... What?
	So they don't want... National Rally...
	Don't want to be called mean for deporting illegals and also trying to incentivise a return to your homeland policy for the people that are subsisting as benefit scroungers and aren't positively contributing.
	So instead they want to do the Milton Friedman, well you can't have open borders in a welfare state so we'll just cut off the welfare state and hope that the net outflow stops them being called mean names.
	It's not enough yet.
	It's not enough yet.
	Well, it's better than before.
	Yes, it's better than before.
	But pressure needs to be put on by the French.
	Yeah, she's planning to change the benefits system as well.
	Current policy cuts access to unemployment benefits and shortens the length of benefit entitlement from 18 to 15 months.
	Not interesting.
	But the interesting part is that social benefits will be restricted to French nationals or have worked in France for at least five years.
	So there we go.
	That's the economic.
	Well, we just won't give it to the foreigners who arrive here.
	It's post-liberal.
	It is.
	Yes.
	It's not a bad idea, it probably will have some net effect where it'll drive immigration in the right direction, so it's something.
	Sure, but it keeps, probably, the current population at the same level, and it only addresses economic concerns, not the cultural concerns, which has then led to the crimes that she has been talking about in her criminal justice policy.
	Yeah, 100%.
	But anyway, so who is voting for Le Pen?
	Well, a lot of small-town voters.
	Just to summarize this article for Frost24, they're not happy with how the country's going.
	They're not happy with how the migrants have been given a kind of privileged status and how France is losing its character.
	So they're like, well, we're going far right.
	And again, if that telegraph summary is accurate, I don't view that as being very far bloody right.
	What would just be normal policy 25 years ago before Tony Blair?
	Also, young people, young people are flocking to the hard right now.
	Good grief, that's terrifying.
	One poll published on Sunday showed that 32% of 18 to 34 year olds voted for the national rally, more than double the 2019 European elections.
	And in Germany, you see a similar thing where young people realize their future is being stolen.
	It's their future.
	And... Women!
	Women have decided, you know what?
	That far-right stuff sounds pretty sexy.
	I like the idea of it.
	Why don't we have a bit?
	So in 2019, 25% of men and 21% of women voted for the National Rally, and that has gone up significantly.
	In fact, there's a... I think there's a... Is there a graph?
	Somewhere down here.
	What is annoying is that they never ask themselves why women want to vote for Le Pen.
	Yeah.
	They don't address the issue with safety.
	It's for Bardella.
	That's the main one.
	A lot of it is safety, but also a lot of it is the optics of Bardella on TikTok.
	And there is a reason he is constantly flocked at all the events by women looking to take selfies.
	I'm not saying that he doesn't have a large fan base of young women.
	But, when asked, women are like, well, it's becoming less safe in France.
	Yes, of course.
	And so that's why they've swung massively here to Le Pen.
	Yeah, to Le Pen.
	But there's a difference between stated and revealed preference, and the revealed preference is a vibe.
	I'm not saying that's not the case, but who knows?
	Right, so, as you can see, the communist reaction was to be communist about it.
	So, I mean, My Anglo instincts are like, you know what, I don't think we should just give the police free reign.
	But then when I see communists rioting, I kind of understand they're French, they're communist and they're breaking property.
	It's definitely something to win me over, that's what I'm saying.
	And of course, and my favourite part of all of this, is that the shitlibs are on total suicide watch.
	It's like, suck it, Gabriel.
	moment when you discover the idyllic bit of rural France where you book the lovely Guité for this summer is just voted massively for the fascist.
	It's like, suck it, Gabriel.
	Suck it.
	So, yeah, so all good stuff.
	Hopefully Le Pen wins the runoff election confidently.
	She needs 50% to be able to just outright form a government.
	Who knows what happens if she doesn't?
	I guess we'll find out.
	Right.
	Now let's go for a fun segment.
	So, happy July, everyone.
	June is over.
	And what a month it was.
	It was a rough month.
	It was very rough for the wokest.
	Pride went fuba.
	For those of you who don't know what that is, that means effed up beyond all recognition or beyond all repair.
	The woke camp was split, and this was 100% predictable.
	Now, before we say more about this, You may ask yourself, where are you going to watch the results for the UK general elections on July 4th?
	Ask yourself no more.
	We have the solution.
	You can watch it with us at Lotus Eaters, and we're going to have fabulous guests, and obviously it's going to be us, fabulous people, and we're going to share with you the dream of some when it comes to zero seats.
	Now, you can use the code ZEROSEATS and gain 50% off your first three months when you sign up or upgrade to a gold subscription.
	Now, that is a wonderful offer.
	Great.
	Now, let's go to Pride Philadelphia, which had a rough start.
	2nd of June.
	Now, you will see here two camps within the Pride camp or the woke camp that were just about to lock horns.
	Now what are these two camps?
	They're going to be the pro-LGBT versus the pro-Palestine.
	Exactly, yeah.
	How did I know?
	How did you know?
	And we have been saying this but apparently a lot of people in woke governments pretend to not understand because they want to give this and sustain this illusion that somehow the woke community is coherent and it has A number of communities full of people who have a compatible idea of what constitutes respectful coexistence, but this is not the case.
	We have been saying so.
	We are warning these wokest governments, and they don't listen to us.
	And they should.
	Right, let's have a look here what's going on.
	You see, they try to have some fun.
	They try to be proud of themselves.
	And the other people are just the party poofers. - - The scarves.
	Yeah.
	No pride in genocide.
	You see this man with the hat he has?
	Have Queers for Palestine considered a summit might solve all of this?
	They seem to be in the sensible nexus of these two groups.
	I'm sure they can just talk it out.
	I don't know, but I think that this summit isn't going to be an international one, or isn't going to be in Gaza for some reason.
	Just a quick thing.
	So what is the plan here?
	If we can just go back for a sec, right?
	So imagine if everyone stops and goes, you know what guys, something bad is happening somewhere else in the world.
	Uh, yeah, we've all got to stop.
	Let's go to Palestine flags and wave them for the afternoon.
	It's like, okay, what have you achieved?
	Well, you've managed to be a massive killjoy, right?
	I mean, you know, looks like I don't support pride marches.
	At least I'm having a good time.
	At least I'm having some fun.
	You're anticipating one of the points I want to make because I think fundamentally speaking on a psychological level.
	It's a bunch of rebel killjoys.
	The left isn't about having fun.
	It demonizes having fun.
	So there are some people who are trying to have some fun in whatever way they think.
	I don't particularly find that That's a good way to have fun, but here comes the left and shows its true colors that says you can't be happy about anything.
	I suppose it just shows that the constituent classes that comprise the intersectional voting bloc just have different first order concerns.
	So the first sort of concerns of the Palestinians is basically anti-white racism.
	And then the first sort of concern of the pride camp, which are disproportionately white gays, is we want freedom from judgment.
	And this is what you're seeing is a jockeying as to which tip is of the spear.
	But the, the, the, no, no, so the, um, the solemnity of the pro-Palestine thing.
	That's giving them the moral edge in this competition.
	They're saying, no, we are for people who are suffering 10,000 miles away and, you know, got nothing to do with.
	We are therefore the better people than you.
	This is about saying, no, we're better than you because you are just enjoying yourselves while Israel's killing a bunch of them over there.
	How could you?
	You're pro-Israel by that standard.
	And by their own framework, they're caught in that trap.
	Exactly.
	This is basically the Rousseauian temperament that unless everyone is free, no one is free.
	And they are saying this.
	Without Palestinian liberation, there's no LGBTQ liberation.
	They actually said this.
	And I will show you.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	So we are going to talk about New York City and Toronto because things happened in a weird way.
	Here we have Lady Liberty in a bikini.
	No, it's not the Daily Mail.
	This is Lady Liberty in a bikini with a salacious expression.
	Looking at people and having a pride scarf.
	But that's the old one.
	That's a weird thing.
	It's a bit exclusive.
	Yeah, I'm feeling a bit of whiteness coming out of it, to be honest.
	It's a bit exclusive.
	I don't know.
	Maybe it's going to be psychologically harmful for some people.
	How did they allow it?
	But this looks like the kind of Lady Liberty that would be presented at White Boy Summer.
	Yeah, it's like, send me your masses.
	It looks like a 90s comic, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Rob Liefeld drew the Statue of Liberty.
	It's not very inclusive, people of size.
	Yeah, and there are engravings underneath saying, send me your masses, and they're gonna have pride parades.
	Yeah, I always did think the Statue of Liberty poem was subversive.
	So the Empire State Building goes gay and proud?
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Do you remember in Brave New World when they light up the buildings in pink for quote-unquote reproductive rights?
	They did the same thing when they passed the abortion abolition term limits ban in New York.
	So you know, memetic energy and all that.
	So, it's an interesting thing to show the difference between appearance and reality.
	This was the marketing, and after the marketing we are going to show you what actually happened and how things disintegrated.
	Can we show these things?
	They're not, like, explicit or anything?
	No, no.
	I don't... Just checking.
	I'm just curious.
	Stellio, save those for his personal collection.
	I mean...
	I think we're going to be okay.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I saw some censoring bits.
	I saw a lot of things were so god, you know.
	Yeah, while I was preparing this segment, there were many questions I asked some other members of staff.
	I'll tell you what, when I'm in charge, Pride festivals will be relegated to the winter.
	No, you're going to put some bloody clothes on.
	They'll be relegated to the prison yard.
	Calm down, I'm not that bad.
	I am.
	No, in the winter, you'll be wearing clothes.
	Let's see here, people, I can...
	You know, they're celebrating Pride and they say people waved rainbow colored flags and held up posters as they attended the annual Pride March in New York.
	You see them here.
	I've been wanting to go since I was 12 and it's the big Pride event.
	I needed to be here.
	What is the meaning of the parade?
	Oh, you get to see everyone like kind of out and like the performances and everything about it.
	It's just so open and inviting and I think that's my favorite part about the parade.
	I just think it's an amazing celebration of the diversity of this community and I just think it reinforces what the world really needs now where we just remember that we're one race and we've got one planet and we just need to look after both.
	What are you talking about?
	It's a celebration of being gay!
	Two things.
	First of all, it's really suspicious that someone is there on a black shirt.
	This is supposed to be a colourful exposition.
	This person went there with a black shirt.
	This is absolutely sus.
	And one thing that, I mean, that's not fun, but you see the child said, I've been looking to go to these events since 12, which I think is very worrying.
	Why would a 12-year-old child have the need to go to to events like that.
	So I went up to the British Museum on Saturday and didn't realize that London Pride is the same day.
	I had no idea.
	And there were...
	Unfortunately, I learned when I saw a bunch of people that looked like they'd broken out of Arkham Asylum on my train.
	And there were lots of children there walking around near men with arseless chaps.
	Lovely.
	So we have here Panamami, She sends kisses to her GBs.
	Those who don't know what this is, you can just basically read.
	And she also rocks some bimbo nails there.
	Yeah, okay.
	Good for her, yeah.
	Okay, and here we see, this is also another worrying thing.
	A Dark Souls boss?
	We see people, someone in a very weird dark dress, dancing with children.
	I think that this is absolutely appalling.
	and uh this seems like a boy that is far less than 12 so like that kid looks about five yeah no this is not good so this is worrying and uh deliberately picking the children out of the crowd why is that child in a bra i mean literally it does look like a dark souls boss what yeah Anyway, so that's not the purpose of the segment.
	So I'm going to show you now the left in existential crisis.
	So the main slogan is without Palestinian liberation, there can be no liberation for the LGBTQ thing.
	count.
	I can definitely see people...
	No liberation, no queer liberation, without Palestinian liberation.
	I'm sure the Palestinians are free.
	I'm sure that basically people are thrilled to have stupid people cheer for them, even though they actually are very much against them.
	Now, the police came and they arrested them.
	I think they're going to let them afterwards, but they allowed for the pride thing.
	And here we have from Olly London says, Queers for Palestine activists wearing rainbow hats and LGBT marks block the New York City Pride Parade as they chant anti-police message.
	And for some reason, they had a problem with New York Police Department.
	And they say New York Police Department, Ku Klux Klan, IDF, they're all the same.
	I think there might be some slight differences between those groups.
	Is Clayton Bixby working for all three?
	But there's a very interesting question because we know that the woke camp doesn't exactly view the police in bright lights.
	Just a quick side note, I love that they've got to constantly bring up the KKK.
	It's like, what?
	Oh, you know, it's like the Nazi party.
	It's like, well, it's something that died years ago and no one thinks of and no one cares about.
	The last time anyone heard of them, Joe Biden was giving a eulogy at one of their funerals.
	Yeah, you've got to exhume the corpse of the KKK to parade it around.
	It's like, oh yeah, I don't know.
	It's a conversation stopper.
	People are throwing it and it's like with Farage.
	Everyone's just asking, are you racist?
	Are you racist?
	Yeah, but it's like, oh, the KKK, it's like...
	What are you talking about?
	Who are you trying to triangulate on when you say KKK?
	Jossie Smollett's personal trainers?
	Exactly!
	It's like, I don't know who I'm supposed to get angry about when you say the KKK, because I don't see anyone in white robes, you know?
	Anyway.
	I mean, I wouldn't expect to see any Grand Wizard in a pride parade or something.
	No, but at least I can understand who the NYPD are and who the IDF are.
	I could point to guys, I could look at their websites.
	KKK, what are you talking about?
	In here this is what happens when you don't have the police and where you're talking about the police.
	Now this is basically a video of people harming each other and engaging in fistfights.
	Stuff we're not allowed to show on YouTube.
	Stuff we're not allowed to show on YouTube.
	So there's a reason that you have the police, and it's to prevent things like this?
	Yes.
	But apparently it's to be understood as the same as the KKK.
	Wow.
	That's a strange endorsement of the KKK from the Queers for Palestine group.
	Well the KKK are notorious for stepping in and stopping black people from getting hurt.
	You see, but this is exactly what happened there.
	You had people hurting each other.
	Only the KKK would turn up to stop this, says the Quitters for Palestine group.
	It's like you are literally in Falmouth.
	Everything you believe is backwards about reality.
	Yeah.
	This is a clown's world.
	Yeah.
	This is absolutely certain.
	Anyway, so we have other videos about the event, so if you want to have a look at the event from different angles in order to see exactly what happened, because you have a lot of people fighting.
	And I will say this, there is one thing that was absolutely missing.
	There was a final...
	Touch.
	That was abs.
	That was missing.
	And I was watching the video and said, where is it?
	And that was twerking.
	There was no twerking for some reason.
	It is unacceptable.
	Too much anarchy and violence.
	If only the IDF had stepped in there.
	IDF, KKK, NYPD, they're all the same thing, apparently.
	Dear IDF, come and save our people so they can twerk.
	Signed, Lizzo.
	Signed, Queers from House.
	And we are going to show you exactly what happened in Toronto, Canada, because Toronto, Canada saw what happened there and wanted to prevent it.
	And it's fun because Toronto is supposed to be, and Canada is supposed to be one of the wokest countries.
	Trudeau is basically competing with other Politicians as to who's going to be the wokest of the woke.
	Oh, yeah, and he's winning.
	And I think he is winning.
	He's definitely winning, but woke spaces, woke Canadian spaces aren't safe spaces anymore.
	And we will see how things change, because I predict now that the woke camp is going to circulate those videos that conservatives do when they're saying, 1950, 2024, look what they took away from you!
	Maybe they can get the NYPD to come over and help!
	Yes!
	They're going to have a video, 2023, 2024, look what they got away from you!
	Those pro-Palestine protesters!
	Well, Canadian spaces aren't safe spaces anymore, as I will show you.
	Now, here we have Diane Sachs from Toronto City Council Ward 11 UR.
	She says, In the Toronto I grew up, in a celebration of pride of this magnitude was unthinkable.
	Today, I could not be happier to join my council colleagues to march in pride and could not be prouder that the route passes through Ward 11.
	So, she is saying how good it is for pride and she can't remember it being that good when she was young.
	So, 2023 was the peak of Canadian celebration when it comes to wokeness, but this is 2024.
	Things change.
	We have here Justin Trudeau.
	Happy Pride, Toronto.
	Seeing so many people out in the village openly celebrating love and freedom is a testament to how far we have come as a country.
	And it's motivation... Sorry, Justin, I love the... This is such great framing.
	So who are our opponents?
	Well, people who hate love and hate freedom.
	Yeah.
	Simple as.
	That simple.
	Meanwhile there goes your bank account.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Don't you dare protest our love and freedom or we'll imprison you.
	And you see that wokeists have a really bad understanding of society even when it comes to the woke camp.
	This was posted in June the 30th but today's July the 1st and you will see what they posted.
	Trudeau says feel this proud We need to keep fighting so that every single person can feel this proud and this free to be who they are.
	But what if who they are is an actual Nazi?
	I hate these sort of statements because that's actually an open invitation to Nazi pride events in Toronto.
	Yeah, it is.
	It's so abstract.
	It literally means whoever you are.
	Pedophile pride events.
	Yeah, whoever you are.
	That's what he's inviting.
	I prefer not to speak.
	If I speak, I'm in big trouble.
	Big trouble.
	Conor, maybe you should hold it.
	Yes.
	I don't want to see you in trouble.
	Yes.
	Right, we have here Pride Toronto.
	July 1st.
	Resistance is justified when people are occupied.
	That's the beginning.
	Protesters shut down Toronto Pride Parade.
	On one hand, based.
	On the other hand, for cringe reasons and we have here a lot of this i think i think we can we can just get the impression from the thumbnail no but what you don't see from here is that there's a lady here i don't know what where you're looking at but there's a lady here who is basically saying that there has to be palestinian liberation and without queer liberation then it can be zero lgbtq liberation
	And basically you have the least fit people on the LGBTQ pride events passing through as if... Status Jostling.
	We're the least attractive naked Pride attendants, and therefore we have to gain status by claiming we're for Palestine while you're doing divorce.
	Yeah, but basically I had that link because I wanted to show what this lady is talking about.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Sorry.
	Important notice from Pride Toronto, 6.15pm, Sunday, June the 30th, 2024.
	Major of the Praise has been cancelled!
	The Killjoys won!
	It turns out you're not free to be who you are.
	It's not a safe space.
	We have been telling you.
	It's not safe.
	Wokeness makes no sense.
	This is so good.
	They literally ruined their own fun.
	They literally ruined their own fun.
	Here's the great Pride Parade we have every year and it's brilliant.
	It's cancelled.
	Why?
	Because some of us are real killjoys.
	Because the race communist part of the gay race communist rubric weren't respecting the gay communist part.
	But I think that this is an important point, though, because a lot of people look at this point and they think that it is low resolution.
	But I think it is actively really important.
	I think that fundamentally the leftist temperament is against having fun.
	Oh, yeah, 100%.
	It's all about just finding something to guilt shame you and make you feel guilty.
	It's not about having fun.
	So we have been telling you.
	But the thing is, as well, this goes deeper to the heart of the question of equality, right?
	the the the least attractive people in the pride parade like look we are not feeling equal to those attractive happy people who are going around having fun and so we're going to literally come out and ruin your fun so we feel equal to you and they actually managed to do it yeah you're so ugly you can't get laid at a pride parade so you throw your lot in with the islamists yeah it's great you know But only out of spite to ruin their fun.
	That's the thing.
	And here is the statement, the post from Pride Toronto.
	You will see that I didn't make things out of my mind.
	They say, today we made the decision to cancel the remainder of the Pride Parade out of our commitments.
	Commitment to ensuring public safety.
	Pride parades sound pretty risky.
	Maybe we should think about having them restricted in some way.
	While we deeply respect and uphold everyone's right to peacefully protest, our foremost priority is the well-being of all participants and spectators.
	That's dangerous.
	Which is an admission that things are dangerous, and it is an admission that Actually, what we have been saying about wokeness is absolutely correct.
	Wokeness is a camp of people who are vastly different and are members of groups that have radically different views of what constitutes peaceful coexistence and the whole Everything is instrumentalized by politicians who are playing divide and conquer.
	Hang on, are you saying the guys that say be gay do crimes aren't interested in peaceful coexistence?
	Sorry, hang on.
	Yeah.
	Did the KKK ever have to cancel a rally because it was too dangerous?
	Just curious, just a question.
	I don't know.
	They couldn't agree on the venue with the IDF, I'm afraid.
	Was the New York PD not available?
	I don't know either, but you see here that we have the wokest of the woke Canadians saying basically that wokeness has disintegrated into it being a problem to public safety.
	I do love that they're ruining their own fun, though.
	It's their own thing.
	Okay, you got to do it, and now they're ruining it.
	It's amazing.
	Some people can't have fun.
	Yeah, 100%.
	Should we go to the video comments?
	Excellent.
	Video comments, please, Samson.
	To all the ladies in the audience, is this a sorority you would have ever considered joining?
	Can you stop this please?
	It's really annoying.
	I don't know what they're saying.
	I don't know either.
	Can we send things that we actually have context for, please?
	Like, we'd rather interact with you and answer questions rather than just have random videos played.
	Just a polite request.
	Well, I mean, it's fine.
	Some text at the bottom explaining what it was they were saying might be useful.
	Sure, but, like, obviously, we like interacting with you guys and we'd appreciate if we could do that.
	We don't know what this is.
	So, next one, please.
	As Russian garbage human very kindly shared Skippity Biden with us last week, I'd like to share Annoying Orange with you all.
	Okay, can we skip this please?
	Seriously, don't do this.
	Don't do this.
	The thing is that no one tells you.
	I've been on the antidepressant medication for three months now.
	As it turns out, coffee enhances the numbing effect of antidepressants.
	So without the antidepressants, all you have now is crippling anxiety and jitters.
	So you try to get rid of the coffee.
	That was brutal!
	Headaches!
	You think the world is going to end?
	I'm going to die old and alone and ugly!
	Oh my God!
	Try to get a coffee!
	What is going on with the video comments today?
	I have no idea.
	Bear in mind, we love talking to you guys.
	Editorial discretion will be exercised if they're too esoteric.
	I want to tell Sophie that I'm trying to get off instant coffee because I was drinking massive amounts of instant coffee and I was shaking and I couldn't understand why because I wasn't on speed or something.
	I tell you what, breaking any of these daily addictions is difficult.
	I try and bring this podcast upmarket.
	Let me preface this by saying I have major daddy issues.
	I think my family enjoy torturing me with bad books at Christmas.
	I had not heard of these two, nor their podcast on modern etiquette.
	William Hanson is an expert and has worked for royalty.
	However, one thing I find utterly detestable about certain homosexual men is their cattiness.
	William's recurring advice is that it's nice to be nice, usually issued in close proximity with him being disdainful or insulting about someone's taste with which he disagrees.
	This is in the very sphere of I can't take anything serious, mock the weak, rest is politics.
	Early 2000s Blair consensus.
	Yeah.
	They're at the end of history now, so nothing matters.
	Yeah, it's just insufferable.
	On to the next one.
	One thing that always strikes me about Sunak and the rest of the political class today is how they are theoretically more credentialed and highly educated than any of the past political classes in the last few centuries.
	yet they seem exceptionally more incompetent in comparison.
	I mean, if you were to compare him to, like, you know, old Victorian politicians, he's way more inferior and useless.
	I mean, yeah, I know, Victorians had their own form of educational systems, but, like, they did not require the same level of credentials that we have now.
	It's because the curriculum upon which the credentials are sought are far less rigorous and interesting both in means of testing and in content than the Victorians were subjected to and because in their hearts and minds they don't feel an affinity or connection to the place they're actually governing over so they're kind of indifferent whether or not they screw up as long as it advances themselves as long as These people think in terms of LinkedIn pages, they don't think in terms of what will people down the pub say of me if I screw up a policy this week.
	And that's the major difference.
	I totally agree.
	They have very technocratic education and also we should factor in how, you know, ecophobic education is in the last decades.
	So, uh, Russian Garbage Human says, uh, big care package for all night stream full of biscuit scent will arrive tomorrow.
	Please send someone to check P.O.
	Box on Wednesday.
	Thank you very much.
	Uh, Russian, I'm back on my diet hardcore.
	I'm going to be eating loads of beef jerky and coffee.
	Here's a bunch of biscuits.
	Good luck.
	Thanks, Russian.
	Caroline says, my son is looking forward to his first ever vote going towards the decimation of the Tories.
	My daughter will turn 18 in four years and hopefully her first vote will go towards doing the same thing.
	Yeah, no, that's great.
	That's fantastic.
	Again, we just have to break this two party stranglehold.
	You don't have to vote Labour because you're not happy with the Tories.
	It's just the way it is.
	Baron says, uh, so you shouldn't vote for a party because one member made racist remarks and that's why you should vote for a party with hundreds of members who covered up grooming gangs and letting terrorists.
	It's a madhouse.
	A madhouse.
	Well, that's the thing, right?
	I mean, you know, Nigel Farage has got like secret racists on his campaign.
	The Labour Party is totally up and they're the candidates that are racist.
	Yeah, Naz Shah was still on the front bench after retweeting Owen Jones' parody account that said grooming gang victims should shut their mouths for the sake of diversity.
	The guy running in Clacton is literally running on the race war ticket.
	Every black and brown person against the whites, I guess.
	Because it's against the whites.
	He's seconded him somewhere else.
	He's banished him from the constituency.
	Because, you know, like, he's obviously going to lose, but it's like, why would you choose that guy?
	You know, why would you choose the last guy that looks like Lee Anderson in the Labour Party?
	You'd send him.
	Yes.
	You know, it's just so... I don't know.
	The Engaged View sends a Super Chat saying, Andrew Tate is what happens when a pregnant rabbit pisses into a jar of protein powder.
	I don't get that.
	I don't get that.
	I don't know what this is in reference to.
	Lance says, as a once great man says, get bent you dirty, dirty smear merchants.
	Thomas Howell says, we took a rambling, random sampling of the BBC lobby.
	That's probably what it is.
	There's probably a cafe next to the BBC headquarters they went down to.
	It's like, we need someone to go against Farage.
	Arizona Desert Rat says, I find it sad and amusing these people can't see why young men are turning to Andrew Tate for information and advice.
	He's one of the few voices that doesn't spend his entire time berating young men.
	Maybe if these people spent more time encouraging and strengthening young men instead of tearing them down, they wouldn't be turning to someone like Tate.
	So yeah, I mean, we get it.
	Nigel Farage gets it.
	They are not allowed to get it.
	Well, that's why young men like Farage as soon as they've encountered him on TikTok.
	100%, yeah.
	Barron, again, says if Nigel ever wins, the first thing he should do is repeal the telly tax cut to cut the BBC off from the taxpayers' dollars.
	Well, he did say he was going to do that.
	He's promised to abolish the licence fee.
	Yeah.
	It's just, obviously, he can't do that while he's an MP.
	It would take five years.
	Yeah.
	Ewan says, I wouldn't be surprised if Selleck himself paid for the C4 expose.
	We can't.
	One, you're not allowed to allege that.
	Two, I don't think that's true at all.
	Yeah, I think they probably are trying to bribe off reform candidates, but I don't think they would have done it.
	Would Channel 4 have too much contempt for the Tory brand?
	Yeah, Channel 4 will be in full labour.
	I don't think Channel 4 themselves knew this was a thing.
	I mean, if, and this is reform speculation here, we're just reporting on it, if it's true that the production company knew Parker was an actor and Parker is exaggerating his accent and saying racist things to make reform look bad and try and goad their candidates unsuccessfully into saying bad things, I think the production company would not have disclosed that to Channel 4 when they sold it to them.
	It's entirely possible that Channel 4 is just looking for the meat.
	And so they're presenting it and saying, hey, don't you want this?
	And Channel 4's like, yeah, of course we want this.
	I mean, it's entirely possible.
	I mean, I'm not saying it couldn't have been the other way, but that is more likely.
	They seem to have jumped on it without vetting, which is why Parker didn't even take his own TikTok and his various accounts down.
	Why is he using his real name?
	These people are so thick.
	It's crazy.
	Thanks for contextualising, because when I heard C4 I thought of the explosive for some reason.
	Channel 4 is not nearly that interesting.
	Angus says, a bit rich of the males, Chris says Farage about foreign policy when that paper was in favour of the black shirts and the Austrian painter back in the day.
	Were they not in favour of the Iraq war as well?
	Um, I would have to check that, but they were definitely in favour of the Nazis.
	Because most of the establishment was, the only people that weren't in favour of the Iraq war was obviously Peter Hitchens, who now writes for the Mail, and it turns out Nigel Farage!
	What's weird is that the Daily Mail has literally been on the evil side of every issue.
	No, I'm not even joking.
	Like, choose an issue, and the Daily Mail's on the evil side of it.
	It's really weird.
	Well, like Lizzo twerking on the beach in a bikini.
	They've occasionally had some good reporting and some good reporters.
	I'm not saying they haven't.
	They're a big publication.
	They've been in existence for a long time.
	But on every major issue, they just fall on the side of evil.
	It's okay.
	Interesting.
	North FC Zoomer says, I honestly hope Farage is just used to getting our foot in the door so we can improve on him later on down the line.
	Yeah, that's what I'm hoping.
	His plans are a decent start, but won't do anything to cut down the number of Turkish barbers or fried chicken shops run by people who are here illegally, and won't fix the ethnic ghettos up here in Bradford, Blackburn, etc.
	Feels very much a stem-the-tide kind of plan, not fix the damage.
	Yeah, but the way I look at it, it's tip of the spear to break the two-party consensus.
	Farage can just crush the Conservatives, drive them out of politics, then the vacuum opens.
	Conor goes to the gym anymore, we'll have to call him Harry Spotter, says the left gets more extreme, the right gets more extreme, the left shock Pikachu.
	Thanks, I suppose?
	Jimmy Mac says they are terrified of reform, smear campaigns will not be the extent of the attacks, things will get more violent.
	Well the fact that they're wheeling out their entire array of dirty tricks, bribing the candidates, just goes to show how scared they are.
	Well the attacks have already been violent.
	Yeah, that's true.
	They just haven't escalated to a lethal threat yet.
	Yeah, but it's the dirty underhanded bribing of the candidates.
	Yes.
	I think is most disgusting.
	That's how the Tories will do it.
	The momentum types who have no qualms about street violence.
	But the Tories, I don't think they're even old enough to do that, frankly.
	Malicious Compliance says, Question.
	The accusations of racism seem to translate as nothing so much as to say, I have no counter argument.
	Yep, that's correct.
	You're not wide of the mark here.
	That's completely correct.
	It's literally just, I don't like that.
	And that area of politics has been walled off.
	And you're not allowed to enter into that area of politics.
	Because I lose on that.
	I have a long answer, but I'll condense it down.
	They need the hopium, even at the price of their dignity.
	I will not vote for the clowns who kicked out Bo and Dan.
	I get the strategy of maybe we'll have a better right wing party in five years, but then why not vote for one of the other options now, rather than waste your vote on a perpetual traitor that is Farage?
	I have a long answer, but I'll condense it down.
	Because, again, as you said, Farage is the tip of the spear, and he is himself looking to hand off to someone after 2029, and that someone could well be our guy.
	They're candidates, they're people that work in our offices, My friends work for them, and I know they're solid.
	Again, the party is not just one man, it is an entity, and it's not a homogenous entity either, and there is infighting, and we have...
	A better path to power there than we do anywhere else, and all the other parties are a joke.
	They're absolutely a joke.
	Some of them might have people with good hearts in there, but they do not have a right nor mandate to rule, and they're not well read enough, and if they got in power, they would not be able to grapple with it.
	So, again, I have my misgivings with reform.
	Until Praj stepped in, I was not going to vote at all.
	I would still endorse voting them as a protest vote at the very least.
	Yeah, I endorse voting for them.
	Even though they trashed two of my guys, I still am going to vote for them.
	They're going to vote for them?
	Yeah, they're going to vote for them, just to do as much damage as possible to the Conservatives and the two-party consensus.
	That's the only way I'm looking at it.
	Samar House says, I'm proud to report that I've just received my student visa.
	I'm sad to report I did not get it in time to register for reform.
	I promise to assimilate for the year that I am here and will try not to be the annoying American.
	That's okay.
	We forgive you.
	Warlord Wututai says, bile, invective, and white noise has historically been the daily male stock in trade, hasn't it?
	Yeah, I know.
	It's so weird.
	It's like the daily male like, well, he's going to be very, very racist and divisive to the discourse.
	It's like, The Daily Mail?
	Have some shame!
	How could you have some shame?
	You're The Daily Mail!
	Preposterous statements from The Mail!
	Just genuinely, you don't have a high horse to get onto to try and talk down to someone else.
	You are the Daily Mail.
	Your name is the watchword for scum-smear journalism.
	That's what people are.
	This is Daily Mail-grade journalism.
	It's unbelievable.
	Neon Realist sends a super chat saying, if Le Pen wins the French election, can we get a video of the Lotus Eaters boys singing the Marseillaise?
	No.
	Don't know the lyrics, frankly.
	I like the meme of the GigaChad sitting at the computer saying, me on Duolingo learning French to avoid speaking it more effectively.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Roman Observer says the tolerant left is devastating Paris, protesting against the success of the far-right.
	Macron's centrist party will probably ally itself with the left to save democracy from voters.
	That's a great point.
	Macron's going to side with the left-wingers who are currently, frankly, trashing Paris every other weekend.
	Well, he didn't exactly crack down very much on the migrant riots from last year either, did he?
	Weird that, isn't it?
	But the, you know, decent law-abiding voting public of France are evil and far-right.
	Joe Block says, uh, what's happening in France is good news is a blueprint for reform to follow here.
	Well, it's being paralleled precisely, I would say.
	Unfortunately, Farage... Well, Farage's problem is the pen has been doing this for a long time now.
	Well, he also disavowed Le Pen yesterday.
	Yeah, yeah.
	On purely Thatcherite economic ground, which is just petty.
	Really short-sighted.
	Very, very boomer Reagan-Thatcher paradigm, which is not placable for this set of conditions.
	And Le Pen disavowed the AFD because they want to send some of the migrants home.
	What the hell is happening?
	How are you all cucking this quickly?
	You haven't even gotten to power yet and you're already cucking.
	Like, God.
	But, um, it's insufferable.
	What was I saying?
	Yeah, no, the problem is Le Pen has been doing this for like 25 years or whatever.
	Farage was campaigning to leave the EU.
	He's now just getting into proper Westminster politics.
	He'll probably do quite well, but he's got a significant lag behind the French on this.
	Bleach Demon says, Viva Le Pen!
	National rally doing the right thing with incremental pressure as it will normalize policies that are hostile to invaders.
	Someone online says, French women don't want to be raped by invaders.
	Shocking!
	Charles says thank God for Le Pen, she'll secure the border, even if Stalmer won't.
	Well... No, what will happen is... I think, yeah... She'll create pressure for them to jump ship towards us.
	Yeah.
	And Stalmer's already said he's going to do basically a mass amnesty.
	Yeah.
	So, we're screwed.
	Yeah, I'm not very optimistic on that actually.
	If it was Zemmour, then yes.
	You know, we could be a lot more optimistic.
	Because Zemmour seems to quite like England.
	Yes.
	And the English.
	Refuses to learn English, but the exact quote he gave to you when we were trotting through Whitechapel is he said that they call England and France the old enemies, but at times like this, the old enemies must become old friends.
	Yeah, and the thing is, if England or France cease to exist, then we can't be old enemies.
	So there's a kind of confirmation in it that reaffirms the position of each side.
	And so now actually, you know, I'm pro-France.
	As much as it pains me to say that.
	Kevin says, the media are barely reporting about the Antifa Muslim communist crowd rioting in Paris.
	When they do report on them, they claim hundreds of thousands involved.
	So if your politicians are losing, the way to fix it is arson, graffiti and looting, not getting off your arse and voting.
	But that's the left of Muslim for you.
	Don't do something to prevent it.
	Just go and get a 55 inch plasma TV and a pair of Nikes.
	Yeah, I know.
	I mean, I don't want Joe Biden to drop out.
	Because he's a great candidate.
	on social media to send encouragement and support to biden stay in the race and fight to the end just a little payback for the dems uh hillary bs in the primaries yeah i know i mean i don't want joe biden to drop out because he's a great candidate that's superb president oph uk says that's my main group of the left there so effing boring no sense of humor at all uh you Yeah, but that's only because they got where they are now through not having a sense of humour.
	Why would they change the habit of a lifetime?
	AK says, the irony is the pro-Palestine LGBT people are saying no pride in genocide, when in reality if they were in Palestine they would all be put to death.
	Yeah, but they'd be like, well you can't be proud of that, and the Palestinians would be like, And the guy with the keffiyeh had his belly button out.
	I saw a post by some Muslims the other day on Twitter being like, how are we allied with these people?
	They're disgusting.
	What is this?
	It was literally like that.
	It's like, you know, we don't want them supporting us.
	Why are they the people speaking up for us?
	It's like, well, you judge a man by the company he keeps.
	Someone online points out Fetish Gear Enthusiast vs Terrorist Enthusiast.
	Yeah, weird that there's such a Venn diagram overlap there.
	Kevin says, Trudeau, it's a testament to how far we've come.
	Reads, it's a testament to how far we've fallen.
	Yeah, it really does.
	Arizona Desert Rat says, will Conservatives be welcome to your Pride Parade?
	No, and you shouldn't want to be there.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, that's the thing.
	There are going to be Conservatives who do go to them.
	It's insufferable.
	Yes, they're in the Conservative Party.
	Yes.
	Running it.
	Bleach Demon says, June is now and forever Huckturr girl month.
	No, don't buy into that downwardly mobile, weird, sexualized normie meme, please.
	It's just, like, it's really not that exciting a meme, either.
	It's not funny.
	It's kind of gross.
	Stop.
	I'm sick of seeing her on my timeline.
	She's just not that interesting.
	Well, kind of.
	You don't need to go anywhere else.
	We'll have everything you need.
	That's a good point, actually!
	That's actually true!
	don't need to go anywhere else we'll have everything you need uh bleach demon says never forget the kkk was the original democrat pride parade that's a good point actually actually true it's quite amusing i really want to we should look up like what were the democrats opinion on the formation of israel Were they pro or against back in the day?
	Because I bet they were very pro back in the day, like 1948 or something.
	Drake says, amazing celebration of the diversity of this community, every single GloboHomo festival ever.
	Michael says, is not pride on display, it's porn addiction.
	Yeah, probably.
	JJHW points out that pride goes before a fall, which is true.
	Thane Scotty of Swindon says, A massive reason I despise the political left is because they despise people for having particular mindsets, behaviours and values, yet covet literally everything the people they despise have.
	Case in point, I hate capitalists and conservatives because whatever.
	Anyway, I want a holiday in a pretty and safe city with lots of material amenities.
	Yeah, they want all of the benefits.
	It's just like the leftist going, I really want to go to rural France for my holiday.
	Oh no, it's full of French fascists.
	They want to decouple peace and prosperity from virtue.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Because they're disgusting people.
	Yeah, they just don't have any conception of cause and effect, basically.
	You know, rural France isn't the place you want to visit because of the people in it.
	And they act in a particular way, which makes the result that you're looking for.
	And yet you're like, well, that's just not, you know, anti-far enough.
	It's like, sorry, you just don't get it both ways.
	And last one, Michael says, I don't trust Canada.
	They're pretty much why the Geneva Convention exists.
	I have no context for that.
	I don't know.
	I'm based.
	I'm not learned enough to take a position on that, I'm afraid.
	I don't know why the Canadians are responsible for the Geneva Convention.
	Anyway, on that giant rabbit hole, thank you very much for joining us.
	Cheers, fellas.
	We had a fun one.
	We'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
