Time Text
Welcome to the thousandth episode of the podcast, The Load Seaters.
I'm joined by Beau, Josh and Connor and today we're going to be talking about how Trump, I think he's won with this Haitians eating cats thing.
We'll talk about it.
We're going to talk about why Keir Starmer has decided to freeze your grandma and we're going to talk about what Sweden's doing about immigration and how I'm not really happy about it actually.
There's kind of weakness to it, I despise.
But right, I mean, before we begin, of course, we are doing a kind of lads hour podcast thing at the end of this.
I'm sure I could have Describe that better.
Basically a free Lads Hour.
Basically yeah.
So what we're going to do is just continue to keep this stream going so you don't actually need to go to the website to come and watch Lads Hour this week.
Just stay here and we'll take like a five minute break and then we'll just be back to talk about whatever the podcast.
The fact we've had a thousand episodes and like this has been a long strange journey and we appreciate you've been with us.
Quite a remarkable benchmark really.
A thousand.
Yeah it's a lot isn't it?
We're coming for you Joe Rogan.
How many has he done?
He's almost up to 2,000.
Oh, really?
Is it nearly 5,000?
I thought it was nearly 2,000.
It can't be that many.
I think it is.
It's well over 2,000, surely.
I'm going to live back check it, yeah.
Either way, 1,000 of anything is pretty impressive.
Okay, well anyway, right, so let's, uh, let's begin.
Trump keeps winning.
I think that this, uh, Haitians eating cats thing and dogs, uh, was a bit of a win.
But before we begin, go and get issue two of Islander.
It is finally out.
And of course it is as gorgeous as the previous one was.
And what I like about this one is a completely different tone.
There's a, the theme of apocalypse in it.
Now, A lot of people are like, oh my god, that means the end of the world.
No, it means the lifting of the veil.
Because I think, in the original Greek, that's what apocalypse means.
And I think that we're arriving in a place now where a lot of the scales are falling from people's eyes.
Wait, the Labour Party is cratering in the polls.
I think a lot of people are realising, wow, all of those Westminster parties are basically the same, and they all hate us, and they're destroying our countries, and it looks like there's no going back from this.
So this is a liminal point.
There's a barrier between two worlds, and we're crossing through them.
And that's what this issue of Islander is about.
So go and get that.
It's only going to be available for, what, four weeks, I think?
This being the first week.
And we will not be reprinting them.
You can't get issue one unless it's, I don't know, purchased secondhand or someone else.
So go and get issue two while you can.
And right, let's carry on.
So I woke up yesterday to this trending.
Come on.
Come on.
This is good.
This is good, fun, memetic politics that the Americans get to engage in.
We get to have a very boring manager telling us how he's going to murder you in your sleep.
And they get Trump yelling, they're eating the dogs.
This of course came from the Trump-Harris debate.
This is the particular timestamp.
I'm here for some- You're so embarrassed by it.
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in.
They're eating the cats.
They're eating- They're eating the pets of the people that live there.
And this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame.
As far as rallies are concerned, as far as- I do think that this was necessary, given since the meme power of him surviving the assassination attempt, it's been a total dearth of energy.
It has.
And this is why I was really happy to wake up to this.
Because we're so back.
American politics is fun again.
Because that's the thing, British politics is just depressing.
Trump made American politics exciting and hilarious.
It's not a lie though, is it?
I've seen clips from months ago where it's subs, not Haitians, subs hiring Africans, killing and eating domestic cats and dogs and swans, catching a swan in a park, making an open fire on the pavement and cooking it.
It's not... Have a lot in Italy and France.
Yeah, Italy and France.
It's not complete nonsense.
Outside of a tube station in Italy, there was an African cooking a cat outside of the entrance of the tube station.
I've seen at least four or five clips.
Is he from Haiti?
That's what the shitlib media calls it.
Well, that's not Haitian, is it?
In 2021, there's a video of a Haitian eating a human, so I feel like a cat is probably very much on the menu.
Well, we covered barbecue.
Yeah, general barbecue.
Well, supposedly a lot of the videos from the general barbecue stuff were actually older, and the media was reveling, saying this is misinformation.
This was actually from 2021.
Oh, well, that's okay then.
Checkmate, you've got us there.
Take a person to that cats are a delicacy.
Yeah.
We'll get on to it.
Did you see them eating dirt cookies as well?
Oh yeah, that's the traditional thing.
Apparently they buy bags of dirt and I was like, they buy bags of dirt?
What are they stood on?
They can't even dig it up.
Exactly!
Shovels not yet invented.
Apparently they buy the bags of dirt on credit as well.
So Dino Dirt Cookies?
I guess yeah!
They can't even afford dirt!
Why do you buy it?
Like, okay, whatever, I don't know.
JD Vance said about this was really good though.
He was basically saying whether it's true or not it's really important to actually highlight what's going on in this community and it doesn't really matter because this is what has made the media look at Springfield, Ohio Well, it's been a headline that's been everywhere for the past couple of days, and it's forced a lot of people to come out and say things that are just very funny.
Just imagine sending this headline back ten years.
As well, Jason Miller's standing there like Tariq Nasheed.
Which is the height of the Obama administration.
This is politics in 10 years time.
Higher leaders dismiss claims of migrants eating pets.
I mean, come on.
That's funny.
Give it to the Clinton Foundation.
This is how you'll clean up in Haiti since the earthquake's going, by the way.
I'm pretty sure I saw this headline at the start of Idiocracy, didn't I?
Probably.
So, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was like, well, this is something that came up on the internet, and the internet can be quite crazy, which is a surprisingly forbearing way of responding to it.
And Mayor Rob Rue said, well, we've not been able to verify any credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed.
Which is great, right?
What that is is, well, the particular government data and the actual reports that we have don't specify this, and so that means that the shit-lid media is like, oh my god, how could you ever suggest that a Haitian would ever eat a pet?
Which means that we're on a ticking clock.
In the next couple of days, someone's gonna get their pet eaten by a goddamn Haitian in Ohio.
If you live in Springfield, Ohio.
Doomsday clock is just moving one second closer to midnight.
Because this always happens when they do this, right?
They come out and they're like, Haitians?
You mean Frenchmen?
You mean Germans?
The sophisticated people who would never do- And then it's literally just a matter of time until boom, here we go, prime example of literally one gnawing on a raw one in the middle of the street in Ohio.
This happens every time when they defend these kinds of communities.
So the thing that has been said by the Trump campaign is that they're just waiting to get definitive proof.
They've heard lots of reports from people on the ground, the local residents, which I feel like if you're getting lots and lots of reports of the same thing... Yeah, it's probably true.
Yes.
It's just that the media has got no interest in going to the place to find out.
Eventually someone is going to.
Something's going to come out because there's no smoke without fire.
Nate Hockman's going down there to interview people next week.
Oh yeah.
Well it's just going to be an easy win isn't it really?
I love this.
It's a slur against Haitians to suggest they eat cats and dogs.
Our country deserves better.
Is it also anti-Chinese racism?
Well, we'll get to it in a minute.
The Koreans as well, offended.
But, you know, then you've got the...
Typical response on Twitter.
I cannot stress enough that even if Haitians are killing geese, some claim are true, it would be a misdemeanor.
Hillbillies do it all the time.
And there were others who were like, yeah, I'd probably eat some of that.
But hang on, abducting them from the park is different from shooting them in the reserve?
Because if you pay for a hunting license and pay for the reserve, you're actually helping preserve the overall animal population.
You're not abducting some child's feathered friend.
Sure.
It's also not the time to hunt geese at the minute.
There's a specific time.
But the point is that the ducks at the park are actually kind of ornamental, right?
They beautify the town.
You've been listening to Alex Jones, haven't you?
The ducks at the park are free.
I was going to make that joke afterwards.
Oh, sorry.
But that's an Anglo thing, though, because the entire point of that meme is that he abducts them to take them home and care for them, not to barbecue them.
Well, yeah, that's a good point.
But there was also, you know, local news response.
Well, this isn't local news, but I can't play it because it's not loading.
Also, just obviously, perhaps it's obvious to point out, but like ducks or swans at a park or any sort of feral animal, that's one thing.
But if it's someone's pet dog or cat, that's like a member of the family.
Yes.
Like it cut you in half emotionally if you find some African or Haitian is roasting your pet cat or dog.
Yes.
And then eating it.
That's terrible.
That would be awful.
Absolutely terrible.
But anyway, there was a video from CBS News, it's not loading now, of an African-American reporter who went to the local Haitian community in Ohio and said, look, this is disgraceful.
I'm at a Haitian barbecue place.
There's no cat on the menu here.
What are you talking about?
OK, fair enough, fair enough.
So I thought I'd go back in time.
Actually, I'd use the magic of Google, which allows you to do time searches and search for just, oh, I don't know, 2014.
Where, a blog here, where are all the cats in Port-au-Prince?
Well, they say this is, this is so good.
It's so good, right?
As we traveled around Haiti through Port-au-Prince, Blanchard, Leogane, those are all French names, right?
I saw dogs everywhere.
Always yellow, brown and whitish colored dogs, but hardly any black dogs.
Then I realized, where are all the cats?
And her guide said, girl, we don't eat the cats, but she's put a little asterisk next to that.
What?
The necessity of the asterisk.
Look, where are all the cats?
Little asterisk there.
At the bottom, asterisk.
I later learned the summations do.
That's comical.
Surely that's meant to be funny.
I don't encourage anyone to look, but I have seen video proof that this happens in Haiti.
Yeah, there is plenty.
I'm not going to play it because it is gross.
But then, you know, there's also a Redditor here who 12 years ago decided to go to Haiti and said, while I was visiting Haiti, it was really awesome to see kittens running around the villages I visited.
After a week, though, I got curious and asked someone, where are all the cats?
Where are all the adult cats?
And they just replied, oh, they get eaten.
And this chap went to Haiti, and this is an imago, like, series of, I'm not gonna get them up, but he's just there taking photos of the cat being roasted and that he ate, and it's like, okay, that's lovely.
And so it turns out they do eat cats.
This is a lady who's the daughter of a Haitian immigrant.
And she's like, yeah, they eat cats and practice voodoo in Haiti.
Someone actually sent this to us in a comment yesterday when I talked about them eating geese.
Yeah.
And one thing I love about this is Elon Musk got this 47 million views.
But also, not being funny, oh, there's no proof this has happened, I've seen a photo of a man holding a goose just walking down the street.
Hang on, that's not a cat, is it?
Yeah, exactly.
As I said at the top of the segment, there's loads of evidence.
...of people, non-Western people, just eating pets and animals when they come to the West.
Whether it's a goose, a swan, a duck... The goose picture was from a few years ago, by the way.
The thing is, Westerners... Oh no!
I know.
Westerners, and the English in particular, have a really weird relationship with animals.
Most foreigners don't think of animals in the same way we do.
We really love animals and they're like, these are food, what are you talking about?
What do they think when they go to the zoo then?
Do they just go around thinking, oh I wonder how that tastes?
Yeah, have you not seen when recently that Islamic revolution that you covered, they broke into the zoo in the city?
Oh, Bangladesh?
Yeah, they were chasing like deer and exhibits round... That's true, I shared that video, yeah.
They were chasing around the zoo animals trying to eat them.
Yes, they do go to the zoo and go, God, that looks tasty.
And then when there's a collapse of civilization, they break in and eat it.
It's the zombie apocalypse.
It's very European to sort of love dogs, for example.
In The Man Who Would Be King with Sean Connery and Michael Caine, the Gurkha thinks it's odd that Englishmen give dogs names.
The very idea of having a dog as a pet and you give it a name, you treat it as a member of the family.
That's bizarre.
It probably is to them.
Barbarians, yeah.
So anyway, the reason I'm sticking on the cat thing, because they do eat cats in Haiti, and hilariously...
There we go.
Oh yeah, there was this as well, by the way.
She's not a Haitian woman.
Yeah, I just wanted to debunk this fake news very quickly.
The woman that everyone saw eating a cat, she's not a Haitian woman in Springfield, Ohio.
She's in a different town in Ohio.
And she's just an African American.
The memetic poetry of this is that her surname is Feral.
There's also, I don't know what she's on, but the insinuation here is that you basically have to be on bath salts to do exact things they do in Haiti.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which makes me question the consistency of the mud.
Anyway, so it really showed Trump when Kamala Harris rallied.
They broke into chants of, we're not eating cats.
This was to keep the Taylor Swift announcement, of course.
- Apparently sir. - They just protest too much.
If you're really not eating cats, you don't have to keep saying it, do you?
Exactly, that's the point, isn't it?
It's like, okay, where has the dialectic gone here?
It's like Trump's like, they're eating cats and dogs, and at the Kamala race, we're not eating cats.
And if you woke up today and you didn't know anything about it, and you were just like, they're yelling they don't eat cats.
Countdown to the Vice article of if you don't eat cats, you're a racist.
Exactly.
They're on a strange trajectory where suddenly they are responding to Trump.
Trump's making claims, which are hilarious.
Everyone's enjoying the memes.
I mean, I'm not even getting the memes up, obviously.
Memes are everywhere of Trump saving the cats and the geese.
And now they've got to be like, no, we don't eat cats.
So if you're explaining you're losing, That's the way I'm looking at this.
They're just doing Trump's campaigning for him, aren't they?
By saying that.
We're not eating cats, asterisk, yet.
And yet the opposition are the one that's weird, apparently.
Yeah.
So cats have always been fairly highly revered.
I mean, Islam famously hate dogs, but they love cats.
There's a story of a cat sleeping on one of Muhammad's sleeves, and he cut his own sleeve off at the shoulder so he wouldn't disturb the cat.
In ancient Egypt, it was the death penalty for killing a cat.
Most people in the West, a lot of people, I'm not a particularly cat person, but some people love, their cats are obsessed with cats.
I like cats.
So you've got to be truly sort of barbaric in the old school sense of that word to just kill and roast a cat and eat it.
Is there even much flesh on the things?
A bit bony aren't they?
Are you really going to get much?
I'm actually weirdly permissive about foreigners eating animals.
I can understand that, you know, it's different over there.
You know, if all you've got is the mud cookie, then maybe the cat is... You know, you're thinking, okay, well, I might give it a try, right?
But like, why a cat?
Like, why a cat?
There's so little meat on a cat.
You've lost your colonial spirit, Carl.
We need to enforce our morals on them.
I'm not saying I wouldn't want that to be the case, but I can just understand that if you're living in a very strange place, you might eat very strange food.
But the French have given them billions in foreign aid.
You'd expect them not to be able to eat modern cats by now.
Cat killers get the jibbit.
I feel that's a different conversation.
If it's a straight up choice between mud or cat flesh.
Yeah, I take the cat flesh.
But it shouldn't be... Look, again, that's a different conversation.
All right.
Which I agree with.
There are plenty of people in Haiti.
I'm just throwing that one out there.
I think they've already cracked that one.
Yeah, they go down that route too.
So I just want to come back to the original claim being about geese, right?
The actual claim that a guy who went to the city commission meeting Made was they're taking geese from the park.
I think it's like kind of odd that like a guy like me has to come out from doing what I do on a daily basis to have fun because I see what's going on in these streets and I see you guys are sitting up there in them comfy chairs and suits and like and I'm getting out here every day and I'm broadcasting this and you guys are just sitting up there in suits or something like I I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something these Haitians are running into trash cans they're running into buildings they're running into They flippin' cars in the middle of the street!
I don't know how, like, y'all can be comfortable with this, like, I don't know, like, who's getting paid from this.
I feel like, I honestly feel like someone's getting paid from it in the background.
They drop it.
Which they 100% are, the manufacturing there.
I can't remember the guy's name now, I covered it on Monday.
He's employing them in the factories.
There are absolutely people making mud cookies nationwide.
I don't know what the local horses to make glue or something.
God only knows.
The Chinese Communist Party leadership are getting paid in lulls.
Yeah, but the original claim was not actually cats.
Again, Trump has got them yelling, we don't eat cats, but that was never actually the conversation that anyone was having.
The conversation was about the geese.
They're stealing the ducks, Alex Jones style, from the parks.
It turns out they are actually free.
Uh, even if they're ornamental.
And a lot of people came out and were like, yeah, this is kind of true, as far as we can tell.
Uh, I heard Duck Rescuer was like, um, yeah, I think they are being murdered for food by quote-unquote migrants.
Why would you do?
They're just, they're adorable.
Like, why?
Okay, I don't know.
Duck is delicious.
Don't get me wrong.
I refuse to.
I can't do it.
Genuinely, I can't do it.
I wouldn't eat a duck from a park, but you know... I'm not to that degree, but you know... Not the ornamental duck.
No.
Just the oriental.
Yeah, exactly.
It's come from China, it's better in my belly, to be honest.
He's saying duck fish is delicious.
Yeah, it is, yeah.
And the police have confirmed, they've got audio from a federalist, but yep, the Haitians were indeed running around with geese in their hands.
I mean, okay.
It's not the best picture to make you sympathetic.
No, I'm not.
Just before attack.
Unleash the goose voffin on the Haitians.
It doesn't work!
I've been bitten by a goose before when I was fishing.
I was minding my own business and it bit me on the backside.
They have teeth, it's quite scary.
It hurt, yeah.
I am less sympathetic to the geese than the cats, I have to admit.
The geese had it coming.
I've never eaten goose though, I wonder what a goose tastes like.
Better than turkey.
Yeah, yeah.
Turkey's really dry.
Gooses, they get really succulent.
Yeah, right, okay.
And, uh, the Attorney General was like, yeah, they are doing it.
So, like, again, like, it's only a matter of time until the magic soil actually didn't take effect on these Haitians.
They're like, well, look, we've run out of geese.
We're down to the cat.
There's, like, extra mean magic in this as well, because this is J.D.
Vance's home state.
Yes.
So, ironically, perfect pick.
Yes.
And they are actually stealing wildlife and just killing them and eating them.
So that is true, even if the cat thing is yet unsubstantiated.
But again, just set your watch, it's going to happen.
And so anyway, I thought we'd just go over to how's Trump doing.
Well, they're worried that actually Trump's messages resonate with people.
They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats.
America's going down the tube.
Yep, a lot of them do think that.
I mean, one American was like, well, Trump's message of decline resonates because you can see it, which is true.
And I thought we'd just go to the swing states, see how they're doing.
Well, honestly, it's a bit of a toss up.
Kamala Harris is ahead in two, but the rest are on a knife edge.
The other four are on a knife edge.
So, some of the pro-Trump pollsters as well in the aftermath of the debate had his lead diminished by a few points.
Really?
I don't want to be a doomer, because I would of course prefer Trump.
I do think there are enough stupid people out there that are convinced by social media vibes that could vote Harrison.
Maybe.
This meme game is great!
I think this is the best thing they've done in a little while.
They need to keep up some pressure.
It's certainly not guaranteed, is it?
No, and I just want to point out that Hillary was ahead in all of these during her time.
The polling is always very Democrat skewed.
Frankly, if I were the Democrats, and I think this is what's happening with them, they're looking at these advantages and saying, well, hang on a second, a point ahead, that's not good.
That means we're probably losing that state.
I think that they should be worried about it because, of course, the kind of people who come out to vote for Trump are the kind who don't tend to show up in the polling.
He is apparently also gaining ground with independents.
So, according to the New York Post, he's doing better with independents than Harris is.
Better with Latino voters.
Good.
And Biden did tell people don't eat dogs and cats.
He's still here, what's he still doing here?
Well he's the president.
Why's he still making any sort of public appearance or saying anything?
He is the president of the United States and he decided to put him in a Trump hat.
So I saw some people say this was an amazing 4D chess move to get back at Kamala for getting rid of...
I don't think he knows where he is and what he's doing.
I also saw people saying that it was a move of solidarity on the anniversary of 9-11.
Well that's what the BBC said.
How does that make sense?
If there's one thing Joe Biden's been known for, it's solidarity with Trump.
Key campaign pledge, he's going to rebuild the towers somehow, I mean.
Biden basically just looks out to lunch.
Notice how slowly and unsure he was moving around.
He just looks like he's gone, man.
He was visiting firefighters in Pennsylvania and the White House said he donned the cap as a gesture of unity.
Because this started, and I love this story, as a young prostitute.
Tim Waltz decided that Kamala Harris is a young prostitute, which was weird.
Because this started, and I love this story, as a young prostituter.
Kamala Harris talked about going in that.
Oh, the Freudian slip vindicated there.
Yeah, what's that?
Did he misspeak?
Well, obsecutor, he meant.
Right, okay.
But I think that was probably more accurate.
It's the most accurate thing that's ever come out of his mouth.
Also, he does look like the reanimated corpse of John McCain.
It's quite uncanny.
Yeah, but it's like John McCain's gay little brother.
He's really, really effervescent, and it's very annoying.
And I'm sure it works with the single cat moms.
I don't think it does.
I don't know, I just find him really annoying.
But not even in a sort of like, you know, oh, he's important sort of way.
I'm just like, why are you here?
You know, it's like, anyway.
But anyway, we'll leave that one there.
I don't think Trump's doing too badly out of the cat meme.
Out of the cat eating meme.
We've got a lot of chats here.
You know, we'll save the chats for the live thing afterwards.
Because this will be there.
Because we've got loads.
Yep.
Understandable.
Right, so the Labour Party, in their dearth of popularity following the Southport Massacre, have decided their next great PR move is to freeze your granny to death to pay for migrant housing.
Hooray!
That's not an exaggeration.
Wish it was.
We'll go through exactly how, but if you do have disposable income, because you're not a pensioner, who they're taking the winter fuel allowance away from, you can buy Islander!
Islander's out for the next Four weeks.
This is our second edition.
It's the Apocalypse Edition.
It has more essays in this one as well.
So same price, more bang for your buck.
Rory's done all the art, and we listened to feedback.
So now, rather than pre-ordering, we have printing in batches.
So as soon as you order, you should get it within two to three weeks, unless your country is a bunch of filthy commies and they hold it up at the border, which case, not our fault.
Essays in there include Karl's Roaring Nationalists and Stefan Molyneux.
So for a little preview, Go have a look at that.
Also, Dave the Distributist.
Love Dave Green.
Amazing essay.
It's genuinely an amazing essay.
And I'm in there.
And Josh is in there.
Yes, I prefer Josh's bit, and it's very good.
Oh, thank you.
He tried his hand at poetry, so do have a crack.
Anyway, on to things that are less competent.
The winter fuel allowance vote happened, and the government won the plan to scrap it.
They say to restrict it to all but the poorest pensioners, so they're going to means test it.
The majority of people have had it taken off them.
By 348 votes to 228.
So almost every single Labour MP who was at least present voted for this.
One Labour MP chose not to do it.
His name was John Trinket and he's about to lose the whip because Keir Starmer is merciless over that sort of thing.
So they won by a majority of 120.
Every single other MP from every other party voted against it.
So I've seen Labour MPs holding placards before the election saying, I will vote against withdrawing the fuel allowance, with a signature, and they voted in favour of it.
Comrade Starmer looked at them, and they were like, Christ, actually I will vote for it.
The icy stare of a machine man.
Funny you say that about Comrade Starmer.
You decided to remind me of this this morning.
This was, let's have a look at the date, 30th of April 2024, so before the election was even announced.
Not exactly ancient history though.
No!
I went to Dewsbury, winter before last, in the height of the energy crisis going on, and spoke to an 84-year-old woman, worked all her life, obviously now a pensioner, and she told me that she doesn't get out of bed till midday because she didn't want to turn the heating on.
Yeah, it's awful.
And then when she did get out of bed, she had this sort of thermal jacket that she just wore all day long so she didn't have to put the heating up very high.
That's awful!
Just a quick thing.
This is starting to make Starmer's decision to take the wind fuel allowance seem vengeful.
She really pissed him off or something.
This is like when Gordon Brown got into the car and said bigoted woman, basically.
He's got absolute contempt for his voter base.
Bear in mind in 2017, Labour said that if the Tories had done this, this would cost 4,000 pensioner lives a year.
So, as the... So they've got a number.
Yeah, well, the retirement age has, like, the number of people retired has gone up since, so billions must die, Keir Starmer.
They're constantly worrying about global warming, but it's the cold that kills people.
Like, they're worried, oh, you know, people will die of overheating.
Well, ten times more people die of the cold.
Yeah, Bjorn Lomberg's got good numbers on this.
Also, winter fuel allowance probably wouldn't even be necessary if energy was cheap and plentiful.
Like, if you could afford- If we had nuclear power plants.
And fracking, as well, because most central heating is run on gas.
If only we had an oil field in the North Sea.
I know, quite, yeah.
Drill, baby, drill.
If we tapped back 10% of that, we'd be energy independent for 50 years, but no, we're not allowed to do that.
That information about the vote in Parliament, though, that was interesting to me, because I didn't know the exact numbers, but that seems to be like a harbinger of the future, because 120's not close.
In other words, even without the iron hand The Iron Gauntlet of Keir Starlin, they'll still probably be able to win anything.
But it's also remarkable... Even if everyone else in Parliament votes against it, 120's not close.
Like, 20 or 30's not that close.
It goes to show you, like, the kind of, like, insane tyrant that Stalmer is.
He can make the socialists, who love giving away government money, rescind it just by saying no.
You know, no, this... Every single one of you, apart from this one guy who's going to get booted, I'm just so cowed.
It shows you the level of control, the iron grip that Keir Starmer currently has over the Labour Party.
Because this is the last thing that any Labour MP wants to do.
I want to give everyone government money.
What are you talking about?
Well they had shame shouted at them from the galley when the vote went ahead.
From the hardcore Conservatives.
Shame shouted at who?
People that were in the in the Commons were shouting shame at the Labour Party.
Oh right, so I'm surprised that even like people that probably hate Stardew, in the Labour Party, I don't know someone like John McDonagh or old Corbynisters or that Budgeon bloke or the few people that he yeeted right at the beginning, I took the whip away, did they not vote against him just out of They voted against him, yes.
Oh, they did?
They did do that?
There's a list of all the MPs here.
They're technically listed under independent because they've had the whip withdrawn from them because they voted against him on a previous one and he punished them for that.
Here we are.
But they're still Labour MPs, right?
Even if you've had the whip removed, you're still a Labour MP, right?
They were elected as Labour MPs, but as you can see there, John McDonnell, Zara Sultana, Richard Bergen, Aspana Beyo... Bergen, that's who I meant.
They're still being punished.
So I wouldn't be surprised if they all defect into this Jeremy Corbyn-style independent Gaza bloc.
I mean, to be honest with you, this would have been the time for, like, a hundred Labour MPs to have revolted.
And just said, no, we're not going to vote for that because our constituents are going to hammer us.
They're not going to forget this.
I thought that would happen straight away.
It's not happening straight away, but it almost certainly will, right Connor?
At some point between the next four years, four and a half years, at some point there'll be over something.
Or when someone says we're going to euthanise them all now.
No, they're all in favour of that, remember, because they're trying to pass the assisted dying bill.
I reckon something like that will happen because...
Storm is very unpopular and he's been bucking Blair's advice consistently to the point where Blair is now actively countersignalling their immigration policy so I wouldn't be surprised if Blair manoeuvres things and has someone, well I've heard rumours that Andy Burnham will be put in a safe seat by-election to prop him up as a potential Burnham and Nandy?
to then take over from Starmer.
And then it might possibly be that Lisa Nandy takes over as his second in command, 'cause she's a woman and they're both in the North.
And in the Labour system, you have to run like a President VP style ticket.
It's not like the Tory leadership election.
So you have to pick a pair.
That's the rumour, and I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. - Burnham and Nandy, I'd rather stay with Starmer.
Actually, would I?
I don't know.
Am I being sarcastic or not?
I don't even know.
Well, that's the point, isn't it?
It's like, look, Starmer is evil, but Nandi and Burnham, er, Bergen...
Andy Burnham.
Oh, Andy Burnham.
Sorry, useless.
But he's not perceived to be useless because he led the inquiry for the Hillsborough disaster.
So if they've alienated the North, they think they might get that area back on side with him.
That's genuinely the optics of this.
A few details for our American friends who don't have to deal with this policy.
Basically, winter fuel payments are made about 200 to 300 quid in November and December, and they'll still be available for a slim minority of pensioners who are on pension credit, but most of the state pension are definitely not on private pensions.
Just as a quick thing here, I mean, I actually agree that this should be means-tested, not in the way that Starmers do.
I'm thinking, you know, anyone over like, you know, 60 grand a year or something doesn't need it, obviously.
You know, but Starmers, like, yeah, but that's still costing me money, so we need to... But also, the pensions as well are taxed, which is also mad.
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
Like, if you go over the... It's crabbing as much of that back as we can.
Well, yeah, exactly.
So your income that you invested was then taxed to be saved, and then if you earn over £12,500 income tax threshold from your pension every year, you then get taxed on your pension about 50%.
And then when you die of the cold, Starmer takes that?
Yeah, with your inheritance tax.
It's almost like the whole thing's a scam, isn't it?
Can I ask a question about the triple lock?
Because I'm not a pensioner, I never really pay any close attention to all those news stories when they're in the news all the time.
I'm just like, oh, that doesn't affect me.
You know, everyone does that, right?
But there's this idea of the triple lock.
I know about that, at least to a small extent.
Didn't they keep promising again and again and again that they wouldn't get rid of the triple lock?
And then even after this story's gone through, people saying, well, we haven't got rid of the triple lock.
The triple lock's still in place.
So can you just explain that?
I mean, what is...
The triple lock means that the state pension rises in line with inflation, average wages or a set amount every single year.
So it's not actually how much money you get off your own heat bills in any direct sense?
No, it's nothing to do with that.
What the Conservative Party were promising at the last election is to quadruple lock it to make it exempt from income tax, because it was due to rise with inflation past the income tax threshold.
Because Labour have kept the income tax threshold, it's 1. likely that the pension will be taxed, going beyond it, and 2. they've now taken off this extra allowance for the majority of pensioners that goes towards their winter fuel bills, which was not counted as part of the state pension.
I've got a definition of the triple lock here.
The state pension goes up each year by either 2.5% inflation or earnings growth, whichever is the highest figure.
I couldn't remember what the percentage was.
Thank you very much.
Don't blame you.
Still, that can all rest in place and Labour can still say, oh, but your heat allowance thing, we're going to scrap that.
And it doesn't actually touch the triple lock thing.
Okay, I got it.
The reason they're doing this, the BBC have explained, and this is the justification, it's meant to shave 1.4 billion off the welfare bill for this year as a step towards filling a 22 billion black hole that Chancellor Rachel Reeves says exists.
Now, I had this explained to me from a senior political source earlier in the week.
The reason they don't touch the other things, which would probably look like better optics, like foreign aid, money spent on asylum seekers, or climate change, is because those are committed amounts per Acts of Parliament.
So it would take them two years to overturn that.
And you're thinking, okay, well that would just be smart, right?
The Office for Budgetary Responsibility that sets the amount of money they have to shave off works on an annual cycle.
They won't count that as savings because it's not going to happen this immediate year.
So they say you either have public sector pay rises to cut, which they can't do because they've just pledged 11 billion, or the pensions.
And you also can't cut any government department spending because every single government employee has a year's notice period.
So it would fall outside of the budget, so you can never actually shrink the size of the state according to the annual budget.
Well, it does beg the question though, you say like you can't do something for two years because it's already locked in.
You could, because they're a government with a big majority, can they not pass a new act?
That either repeals the old one, or a new one that just supersedes the new one, saying, no, we're doing it right now.
Yes.
They can do that.
Yeah, but they presume every institution is neutral, and they presume every institution has accurate modelling, and it's all a scientific process, so they think, oh, if the OBR gives me this number, because they're really stupid, they just think, this is exactly what I've got to do here and now.
So this is the expert advice, and so therefore I have to follow it.
They're just pretending they can't do it.
They could pass an Act of Parliament getting rid of the OBR.
They could do emergency legislation, actually.
This is what I was also told.
But they don't want to admit it's an emergency scenario because then they'd have to admit that basically their immigration fiscal policy, which they supported under the Conservatives, has led to an emergency situation.
So they're caught in the ultimate double bind.
So this is why they're doing this.
This is why they're taking away your Nan's heating bill to house illegal migrants.
By the way, on the topic of the 22 billion black hole, it turns out it doesn't probably exist.
So the FT decided to put in a Freedom of Information request to the Treasury, and it was declined.
Oh.
Are they allowed to do that, right?
Yep.
Yeah, they're allowed to just not give you the data.
They're not allowed to give you the reason.
Apparently, the response from the Treasury's Information Rights Unit said details would be published respecting agreed timelines, quote, to allow the relevant officials time to complete the preparation of the information to ensure it is accurate and correct prior to publication.
AKA, don't ask questions.
We're already doing what we want.
And usually, the OBR get their findings completely wrong.
I mean, there was stats recently released that their modelling, according to the Trust's mini-budget that blamed Herth for crashing the market, two-thirds of that was due to the Bank of England, both before and after the budget.
So, yeah, they're not exactly brilliant.
We run a country and a government and an economy before the OBR can get rid of them.
Clear them out.
There are so many government departments we could gut.
I could get to the point of making a surplus in the budget if it were up to me.
When you hear Dominic Cummings talk about you actually can't do loads and loads and loads of stuff because loads of things have been put in place to prevent it.
We'll clear those out then.
You've got a huge majority, dissolve it.
Yeah, but the ideology of both people.
They don't want to, right.
Yeah, as with the people that are above Cummings as well, it's all on rails.
It cannot be moved.
Quite interesting as well.
It says one of the biggest disclosed components of the information given out was $6.4 billion on asylum and illegal immigration.
Because for those who don't know, in the foreign aid budget, the first year of any new arrival is spent out of our foreign aid services.
So we spend the majority of foreign aid within Britain.
I think Angela Jenkins... Andrew Jenkins found that it was 14 billion is spent on asylum every year, actually.
So...
So even if this black hole is that exact amount, the majority of it is spent on illegal migrants that arrived here this very year.
The takeaway: we spend 14 billion on illegals breaking into our country.
And that's just from that, I mean, there are going to be loads of other costs, the kind of hidden costs that come down the line after that.
But in the immediate, we spend 14 billion.
Well, if we try and find out what they spend it on, they also just say, "We're not going So, but the Home Office refused to reveal the cost of furnishing a block of flats to be used by 346 asylum seekers in Hampshire.
John Edwards, the Information Commissioner at the Home Office, rejected another Freedom of Information request Ruling in favour of the Home Office, Edward said the public interest in revealing the costs to the taxpayer of the furnishing was outweighed by the need to protect the asylum seekers from protests and risks to their health and safety.
It was reported the apartments were furnished for satellite television.
No, I'm going to protest the bloody Home Office.
I mean, literally, the sign there, down with the Home Office.
Like, it's inevitable that if you're like, hey, we're going to give loads of money to whoever can rock up on our shores, then you're going to get people.
I don't even blame them.
It's our own government for doing this.
Just to put it in some sort of perspective, 14 billion, what an astronomical number that is.
Oh god, I don't even want to... Right, the Channel Tunnel cost 15 billion.
One of the most impressive, biggest engineering projects man has ever completed.
The James Webb Space Telescope, the greatest object ever created by the hands of man, cost 10 billion.
That cost 10 billion.
Yeah, well so does Abdul.
We could be pushing the frontiers of mankind and instead we're pushing the frontiers of ruining our own country.
Yeah, well if you want some more depressing stats as well, the OBR of all people came out today and said exactly how much low-wage migrant working is costing us.
Hang on, just a quick thing.
This is something they haven't wanted to say for a long time, isn't it?
We've had to rely on the Danish stats for quite some time.
And the Netherlands and the Swedish.
The problem is they've also fudged the numbers here.
Of course.
So I'll just read this out.
So each low-wage migrant worker costs £150,000.
So this isn't refugee, this isn't asylum seeker, this is just legal migrant we allow in to go and pour our coffee at Pret.
Is that something like a hit?
I'm so annoyed.
Well, you're going to be more annoyed.
The idea is that this is by the time they reach pension age, which is 66, so modelled from when they were 25.
But the average for Britons, because the average working Brit puts in 280,000, like they positively contribute that by the time they reach 66, that starts at zero.
So it's factoring in their education costs, but it's not factoring in the education costs of any migrant that arrives earlier.
And also, the British average is British-born, not ethnically British.
So second-generation migrants, which we know from those Netherlands studies repeat the same patterns as their parents, are also dragging down the overall average.
So if we had the ethnically British one, and it was matched with the ages of the people coming in, the numbers would be a lot worse.
We do need people to pick the strawberries for us, though, don't we?
I think we have the machines.
Even though, yeah, we were always able to manage that before mass immigration, but... Yeah, somehow I remember eating strawberries as a kid, actually.
I don't know how it happened.
Somehow!
Somehow, yeah.
We're being basically exploited to an astronomical scale.
It's not even funny, is it?
It's not funny, no it's not.
I'm absolutely furious.
It's an ethnic patronage scheme.
That's all it is.
Well, not we.
A select few people in Westminster, in the political sphere, have made a client state out of the British people willingly to fund people who hate us and are killing and raping us at a degree Well above the native population.
Let's assume that there's not a single crime involved, right?
Let's assume that not a single one of them creates crime.
Okay, I still don't want to be taxed to give these people my money.
That's in and of itself just a supreme injustice that renders us as a subject people to this global order.
It gets worse.
This is if they live to 66.
If they live to 80, it's £500,000 a person.
If they live to 100, it's a million pounds per person.
So they calculate that if all migrants earned 50% less than the UK average, the debt GDP will rise to 350% by 2074.
Now, bear in mind the Japanese economy is on the precipice of collapse at 250%.
But that's 50%.
The current number of the 150,000 by 66, that's 150% less than the British population.
And a recent stat that we all found out was that since 2011, 74% of all jobs created in Britain have gone to these people.
They've gone to migrant workers.
I wonder why our GDP per capita is flatlining.
The Runnymede Trust are winning, they're happy, they're getting exactly what they want.
Founded by Lisa Nandy's father, incidentally.
People need to understand the implications of this, because this is absolutely massive.
We're basically slaves to foreign people.
You're a cash cow for these people.
Yeah, exactly.
People need to know that this is going on because this is so infuriating that you work your entire life just to be taken advantage of by people who make your life objectively worse in every metric.
Why do you think they're so disrespectful?
They know.
They know they've got the upper hand on you and that you've got nothing that you can do and the state's going to make you pay for it.
And if you say anything out of turn you're going to be called a racist and criminalised and you'll go to jail.
They know.
But they absolutely needed to cut the winter fuel allowance.
Remember, they absolutely have such a black hole in the budget, they need to cut... The other thing this doesn't count for is the over 10,000 foreign nationals in British prisons.
So we're also paying to house those battery farming foreign criminals like No Tomorrow.
Some of those have been let out, actually.
Some of them have been released, because of course we had to lock people up for dodgy Facebook posts in the aftermath of the Southport atrocities.
They have a second client group, criminals.
Yeah, well, some of them though didn't get released that long because this chap here, these are the kind of people they're letting out, seconds after he was let out of prison he was immediately rearrested for rape.
What?
I don't mean to laugh, but that's a serious commitment to crime, isn't it?
How is that even possible?
I'm not even off the property of the prison and I've somehow sexually assaulted someone?
Yeah, following an inquiry to the Met, it had emerged the man, 28, was arrested on suspicion of rape, sex assault and racially aggravated public order offences, raising the question why he was ever lined up for early release in the first place.
1,650 other people were also released on the same day.
I'm sure they're all squeaky clean.
I know how you can get room in the prison with that guy.
What do people like James O'Brien or Carol Vorderman say about something like that?
Nothing.
Carol Vorderman went out on LBC or whatever it was and kind of apologised, didn't she?
Did you not see it?
I don't know, I think she has... Apologised for what?
For everything she's ever said?
No, just for endorsing Starmer.
She was like, well actually I'm a political independent, you see.
I was like, really?
You seem like a hardcore Labour partisan.
...leading up to the election.
And she did this interview where she was like, well, I don't actually like the idea of freezing to death 4,000 pensioners, and so I'm kind of regretting my star maria.
It'll be memory hole by the next election cycle.
Yeah, maybe.
This won't be though.
So we've, okay, we've already paid for foreign criminals.
We're already paying for foreign dependents and low-skilled foreign workers.
We're already paying for illegal migrant satellite TV.
So why doesn't Sadiq Khan just give them a house?
I couldn't believe it when I saw that.
It's genuinely comical how evil our government is.
Well, he's also dressed like a prisoner for some strange reason.
He is, yeah.
He lives in London, doesn't he?
He's a recruiting police academy.
So Starmer told the Times' Crime and Justice Commission, there is a big shortage of housing in London.
I wonder why.
Stop important people then, idiot.
Yeah, but how would he be voted in?
But that there needed to be an honest conversation about the need for some prisoners to quote, jump in the queue to avoid them re-offending again.
He really does look like one of the vulture guards from Disney's Robin Hood, doesn't he?
Every time I look at him, that's all I can see.
It's the same for your old Betsy.
Yeah, exactly!
It's the same height as well.
A certain percentage, it's the honest conversation we've got to have with people across our respective cities and stuff to explain the reason we're doing this.
Okay, yeah, I want them back in jail, Sadiq.
That's the honest conversation from my side.
Well, that previous guy, who's like a double rapist, I've got a solution for him.
Or, or, or, or...
The justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, thinks they shouldn't get houses instead.
We should repurpose the asylum hotels to give them paid temporary accommodation.
So that hotel down the street?
It's not just going to be full of illegal migrants, it's going to be full of actual career criminals.
And we're all paying for it!
But remember, your nan has to freeze this winter because they just can't afford it.
No, I don't hate this country.
I hate the people ruling this country.
Sorry, gents.
I'm depressed.
Yeah, I know.
Right, well, let's move on, because Sweden has a solution.
Unfortunately, it's not a good one.
It's paying the Dane Geld.
Beau, what's the Dane Geld?
When the Danes, the Northmen, insisted that you pay them so they don't pillage you and rape you and murder you and things.
That didn't work, did it?
Extortion, you could call it.
It didn't work, though, did it?
Oh no, no, you don't negotiate with terrorists.
The point being, Æthelred the Unready is like, yeah, I'm going to pay the Danegeld, and the Danes take it away, and then, oh, where do they take it?
Back to where they came from, where there are lots of other Danes.
And the other Danes are like, where did you get that huge pile of gold?
Æthelred, in England.
I just sailed over on a boat.
You know, a lot like what's happening now.
And he gave me loads of money to piss off.
And they're like, oh yeah, good point.
I'll do that.
And so, paying the Dane girl doesn't work.
It attracts more of the same, because you're giving away free money.
Unbelievably.
Any sort of extortion like that, just never ever pay.
Whatever it is, whatever they've got on you, just face up to it, because obviously, it's the obvious thing, is if you pay them, they'll just come back and ask for more, then.
I think that it's a silly thing.
Just come to terms with the thing they've got on you.
In Sweden in particular, they're being terrorised in the country.
Surely they should be saying, well, you've cost Sweden a lot of money, perhaps we should seize your assets to pay for the damage you've done.
That's what should be said.
That would just be a tax rebate for the Swedish population.
Exactly.
You shouldn't be paying them to leave because then they're basically going away with their spoils from Sweden.
Yes, they are.
They 100% are, just like the Viking raiders did.
Coming over, getting everything they can, being particularly violent in many cases, and then getting money from the king, the state, to piss off and lord it over their friends back home.
That's exactly what's happening.
We're gonna get into it.
Before we do, go over to shop.notices.com, go check out issue number two of Islander.
But also, Rory's made some amazing merch.
I absolutely love this shirt.
Like, check out this, like, heavy metal Islander shirt that he's made, for some reason.
But it just looks amazing.
So go and get that as well, because that's incredible.
And it'll only be on sale for as long as Islander's on sale, I think.
So definitely go and get it while you can.
Anyway, let's crack on.
So, currently, Sweden has a centre-right government.
To be fair, they are a lot more centre-right than our conservatives ever were.
So, good on them.
They did make it mandatory to report if there is an illegal working in the public sector.
So, librarians and things like that.
They've tried.
I don't think it's actually enforced yet.
The Guardian was lamenting the fact that it has been passed into law, and that it has deterred some people from coming over, apparently.
Right, okay, well, superb.
But anyway, so this is the current government, which is a coalition of the Moderate Party.
Which are Liberal-Conservatives, so they're just basically going to be like our Tories.
The Christian Democrats and the Liberals.
And they're also working closely with the quote-unquote far-right Sweden Democrats.
Obviously you can't get a nice write-up of the Sweden Democrats because they seem to be reasonable people.
And they're drawn into this through what's called the TIDO agreement.
I don't know how it's pronounced.
Where basically the Sweden Democrats are the third biggest party in their parliament and so to get anything through and to oust the center-left coalition quote-unquote center-left ...left, just the communists, they've had to agree to this agreement which gives the Sweden Democrats some influence over the government although they are not an active participant in the government.
As you can see from this the actual positions are held mostly by the moderate party but also by Christian Democrats and some of the Liberals but none of the Swedish Democrats.
And so it's this one that allows the Swedish Democrats to have some say.
The Swedish Democrats like the AFD, like Farage, like Marine Le Pen, there was a cordon sanitaire against them until 2018 when the current Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson broke it, which of course was much screaming, but it worked out for him because now he's the Prime Minister.
So, the recent thing that we heard was that Sweden has now reached net emigration, so that's good.
That's not true as well.
Is it not true?
No, it's not, in that one of their bodies, I can't remember what it was, but basically they were clearing out a backlog of data of people who had left Sweden over previous months and this had built up and accumulated and they were just clearing out these people from their system so it looks like more people are leaving but it's simply that they've all stacked up and they hadn't done anything about it and then all all at once they're now going So I think it was to do with tax receipts.
That's right.
The flip side of this was that because of such laws that made mandatory reporting about illegals, their overall number of arrivals, illegal entrants, has gone down.
So the deterrence policies are working, but the emigration numbers are not as positive as first spun.
I mean they do say they've only had 5,600 in the last year.
So they're still flooded with foreign 5th columnists?
Well I mean... They're still there?
is what it is.
It's still, they're still there.
We get over 100,000 a year.
So, to only have 5,600.
I don't, I think we get about 40 to 50,000 a year.
Oh, is it?
Yeah, it's 130,000 total.
Oh, right.
Since 2018, since they started recording it.
But I think we've got... I mean, oh yeah, it's 50,000 a year, isn't it?
Yeah, we've got about one and a half to two million illegals in the country, at least.
I think some of the data on cities in Sweden, I think Malmö, a third of the residents are foreign born, and 50% are non-native Swedish.
Also, the gangs are insane, but we'll get to those in a minute.
What I wanted to talk about, there's not really the details of this particular thing, it's the response.
Because of course, open hearts to close borders, as we covered previously, tragedy, right?
Tragedy.
But what I found in this, and this is from only August, but they were quoting the previous Prime Minister.
Oh no, that's a different one, I'm going to get to that in a minute actually.
So the moderate-led government, which is supported by the far-right Swedish Democrats, you can see on the guardians framing this as if this is crazy.
And so they've got, obviously, an academic who says, quote, it might not be such a good thing for Sweden as a country.
This is, I think it was me, you and someone else that mentioned that, he said, this might deter Somalians and Iraqis from coming and being engineers.
Like, if you just take a look at the data of the UK... They're right.
I think it is going to deter Somalians and Iraqis.
Yeah, I just don't think that they're positive economic contributors, doctors, lawyers or engineers, funnily enough, judging by the social housing stats.
Apparently they play a vital part in the workforce, given Sweden's ageing population.
Yeah, maybe the justice system.
Making migrants feel welcome was crucial to integration.
Now this is an important part.
I watched a lot of Swedish media about this.
The migrants integrating.
It's a very important statement they make.
This is the typical liberal view that if it weren't for the far-right racists pointing out that there are differences between peoples and cultures, they'd just assimilate into the melting pot.
What we do know is that successful integration, which this government wants to see, depends on people feeling welcome.
And so Tobias Hubernet, a senior lecturer in intercultural studies at Karlstad University, said, quote, Got any, er, got any evidence for that claim that they need to feel welcome to integrate?
Yeah, that's a nonsense.
That's just not right.
It doesn't make sense.
It's the opposite, right?
You need to have a little bit of pressure to force you to integrate if your inclination wasn't to integrate.
But it's all a nonsense anyway.
Hardly anyone integrates at all.
Yeah, but they believe in the blank slate.
They literally believe that your particular culture is a provocation to them.
So if you just took them out of the economically deprived landmass that they're in, airdropped them into a small Swedish village, and then be inoffensively pluralist and liberal, then they'll stop doing grenade attacks.
That's genuinely the mentality of these people.
Remember Tobias's thing though, the fact that we're not going to be integrating as many Somalis and Iraqis and wherever else, that's a catastrophe for Swedish society as well.
Imagine just how amazingly insane that is.
Swedish society is just going to collapse if we don't get these people in.
How did they survive before mass immigration then?
But Somalians built Sweden, but not Somalia.
But everyone knows that these people aren't integrating.
And this is something that both sides on the Swedish front have come to accept.
I mean, this was from 2022.
She's the leader of the Social Democrats.
She's the leader of the left, right?
And even she's saying, well, look, we need to end ethnic enclaves.
Quote, we do not want to have Chinatowns in Sweden.
We do not want Somalitowns or Little Italys.
Hello, base department?
Could we get the Conservative Party in Britain saying something that the leftists in Sweden... I suspect though what she rather wants is just to smear it all over the entirety of Sweden instead.
Yes, that's 100% what she wants.
That's 100%.
But I also agree with her that I don't want little Somalilands.
I don't want that either, and they accept it.
No, no, we've got ethnic enclave policies, and that's a problem.
I mean, Denmark's policy was literally saying, no, you can't live there.
You are going to live here.
You are going to live here.
But that's the dialectic.
It's, we don't want anything enclosed.
So therefore we're going to forcibly redistribute all of you to these small unmolested Swedish villages and relentlessly propagandize the native population to intermarriage.
That is what is going to happen.
Yeah.
I mean, she literally says we want to mix, we're going to get a mixed population.
there we go yeah i know i know but the thing is this is better than having literally no go zones no it's not it's not the organic desire of the population i'm not saying it's the organic desire of the population but it would be better to just have one random guy who The problem is the fact that when they're in an isolated location, they're not patrolled, they're not policed, and this doesn't just stay there.
This is the thing.
So this has been a massive issue.
Swedish gang crime is actually insane, and it's terrorizing all of the Nordic countries at the moment.
It used to be a lower crime country than a lot of Europe, and now it's one of the highest crime countries.
Of course, and it's because the native Swedes are just mad.
I appreciate that nobody particularly wants just some random Middle Easterner dumped in their town, right?
But then he is, and his family are, alone.
They're isolated and they have to start normalising themselves to the local community.
Whether they ask for it or not is not the question.
They could not be alone back home.
Yeah, of course, but that's just off the table.
We're in insane Swedish liberal land, OK?
This is just the way of the West.
There's just no question that we're going to have these people.
OK, fine.
And the thing is, they're already there.
I'm not saying it's good that they're there or anything like that, but that's just what the case is.
So having one guy in a remote village where he can't do any particular damage, better than having literally horrific nexuses.
A couple of things I'd say.
He probably still will be doing damage, though.
still will it only takes one person in a little village to plus I yeah I just I just cannot will not ever accept that paradigm that you've got these two evils and you have to pick one no I'm not saying I'm your favorite I know you're not I know you're not yeah I'm just saying it's just like no no no they've got to go the alternative is to have insane gang crime I mean let's go through some of those right so About half an hour north of Stockholm is a place called Uplandsbro, which is a holiday resort.
It's got lakeside boat clubs and wooden villas and things like this.
And recently a 14-year-old was found killed there because of these gangs.
It's been awful.
We've been woken up by explosions in the neighborhood and it's scary, says 42-year-old Anna Pettersson, who lives in Bro and has three children.
It's very much something we're aware of and we're afraid of.
Yeah, like literally gangs chucking grenades at each other all the time.
Where are they getting all these grenades?
Yeah.
That's the point.
Do you think they're like going through customs like a regular person?
Like they're going to be smuggling routes that they use to get around basically the Baltic Sea.
It is weird, though, isn't it, how there's a different stripe, a different flavour, a different tone or tenor of the type of crimes that foreign fifth columnists do in the West?
For example, in France, it's sort of more Algerians.
Here, it's like more sort of Pakistani rape gangs, whatever.
In Sweden, it's grenade attacks.
Like, why?
You know, grenade attacks.
The caption of this picture is the most insidious thing I've ever seen.
I can't actually read it because there's a camera in the way.
Liban, left, pictured with a youth worker, says he feels excluded from Swedish society.
Ah, okay, so they're throwing grenades because the Swedes aren't accommodating enough.
Well, this particular chap isn't throwing grenades.
No, but he is meant to be taken as a representative of a collective by the BBC.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have slipped in there.
So in 2023, there were 50 people, 55 people who were killed in shootings in Sweden, which just seems insane.
Considering Sweden's got like 11 million people in it.
Yeah, it's a population.
It's much, much smaller than Great Britain.
Number of cities and density, way smaller than Britain.
That shows you the problem of the gangs.
So having the sort of hands-off Swedish approach, where we just let them form their insane warlord colonies.
Well, Denmark doesn't have that, right?
So, just saying, there's one way of dealing with the problem, there's another way of dealing with it.
There's the Bekele route.
Yeah, sure, there's the Bekele route, which I, I mean, I don't know, I mean, I thought Bekele was a bit soft on them.
The point being, the average is about 60 a year or something like that.
And so they say what started out as gun violence between young gangs looking to defend their territory has turned into a vicious circle of firearms trafficking and gun violence.
Gangs have also matured and are no longer just street criminals.
It's just a warzone.
connected to higher level criminals as well and of course this kills loads of innocent bystanders for example a 70 year old man another man aged 20 who killed in a pub shooting in central Sweden in Sandvikin and a teacher died in an explosion outside the University of Sala it's just a war zone it's an actual war zone and also the Swedish people are not legally allowed to defend themselves and so this tyranny is invited in and you can only tolerate it That's the only option that is available to you.
You can't actually stick up for yourself.
The Swedes though, the foreign minister Tobias Billström was like, well, we can now see that outside ship and lack of integration, presumably a lack of youth clubs, in combination with trade in narcotics and organized crime is creating this very, very toxic mixture.
The blank slate will destroy Europe.
People have died, mate.
Just saying.
But anyway, so the Nordic countries have just got a little gang together to fight the Swedish gangs.
Because Norway and Denmark were a lot more hands-on with this, right?
Norway also.
Like, no, you're going right to the Arctic bloody circle.
You know, so there's a village of 500 people and there's one Somalian in it or something like that.
Or village.
Yeah, well, maybe.
But, you know, they don't have grenade attacks, thankfully.
But when they're allowed to essentially self-control and self-police, well, you get insane criminal gangs.
Nordic countries are, of course, there for essentially creating sort of a hub in Stockholm to share information and to be able to track these people down.
Swedish gang members regularly get hired by Danish gangs for violent attacks on rivals.
And the Danish Justice Minister was like, yeah, there are 25 instances of this this year.
Can we be explicit?
Are these Swedish gangs?
They're not native Swedes?
Of course not, no.
Let's be explicitly clear about that.
They're from the immigrant enclave.
To give you a bit of a clue of some of the background of these people, when the BBC went to film in Sweden they got pelted by rocks from Middle Easterners.
Apparently, Norway has said that Swedish criminal networks are operating in all parts of the country.
The gang's presence has become more visible, drawn by higher drug prices and less competition in Norway.
Norwegian police said in a letter that it was given out under their Freedom of Information Act, so it's not like they're willingly publicizing this information.
And so, you've got an insane problem.
Created by an insanely liberal view on human nature, as you said.
Well, if we just allow them to, say, take over Malmo or just become, you know, ethnic enclaves, then they'll just somehow become Swedes and then, oh god, integration hasn't happened.
So, what's the solution?
Well, I mean, in addition, now it's The tendrils of what Sweden has allowed to gestate in its own country are all across Norway, Finland, Denmark, causing people to be killed.
So it's an insane problem that has to stop.
And so Sweden's option, they've decided, is to pay the Dengeld.
And the thing is, you might be thinking, well, I mean, 350,000 kroner.
I mean, that sounds like a lot.
What's that in real money?
That's 26 grand.
Just send them home.
Ryanair flights are less than 100 quid.
Yeah.
26 grand.
34,000 dollars.
I think the Swedish people need reparations for the terror they've been inflicted upon them.
They shouldn't be paying them.
The people should be paying to be sent back safely, to be honest.
They should be sanctioning Pakistan for the grooming gang.
Remember, these... This is of 2026, so they're not doing this yet.
These will be immigrants, quote, who voluntarily return to their home countries will get paid for it.
So it's not even the criminal gangs.
They're not going to do it.
So hang on, if I go to Sweden on holiday and I overstay a visa... No.
Is it because... complexion?
It's because of the way you enter the country.
Right.
They are arranging this based on asylee status.
You won't get it, because you didn't break into the country illegally.
So if I took a dinghy from Edinburgh to... Oh, still not?
No, because you're white.
All right.
That's, I mean, that's not going to be the official government line, but you won't either.
It's just going to be the sort of global south this applies to.
You're broken illegally.
But yeah, no, so they're gonna pay them $34,000, £26,000 to F off because the Dane Geld works for some reason, they think.
Even though I'm sure enough Swedish Vikings got paid back in the 10th century.
The Buccali option's gotta be, it's got to be where all Western Europe goes with this.
It's got to be, coupled with mass re-migration.
It's got to be.
There's no other way.
That's inevitable.
Deport literally every foreign criminal.
Withdraw all social benefits from legal migrants.
If they turn to criminality, see step 8.
That's it.
The scourge of Swedish gangs.
Round them all up.
All of them.
Round them all up, put them in prisons, holding cells, whatever.
Either forever or until you deport them.
That's it.
So they can have a nice, well-paid holiday back to where they came from before they break in again and we pay them twice.
Can we do that?
Because unironically, they're going to get their passports taken off them when they get this, right?
I was watching a news broadcast on this.
I can't remember what the actual document is called, but it's something akin to a passport for an illegal immigrant.
They'll get that taken off them, but they can come back and just go back into the system and get another one.
That's actually going to be technically possible.
This is actually a scheme they already had, and they've had since the 80s, but they used to do it for 10,000 kroner per adult, so piffling amounts of money.
And the right-wing government are just going to crank that up, goes to the money printer, and that's going to be going to Abdul, go back to wherever he's from.
I'd rather fold it into a giant paper airplane and just deport them all that way.
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
I agree.
But that's not going to happen.
And things probably will not get substantively better, but it will cost lots of money.
So now that's over, I would like to point out China makes money from the people that break into their country.
Just saying.
Well, what they're harvesting?
Yeah.
Oh, I was joking.
Yeah, that was really what you meant?
Yeah.
Okay.
What did they actually do?
Put them to work in the factories?
They either enslave them or harvest their organs, yeah.
Who needs two kidneys, right?
Being greedy.
There was a Chinese prison that had them working manual labour during the day, and during the night they were farming Warcraft gold to sell to Westerners.
Really?
Yeah.
They were just sitting there on World of Warcraft, just farming gold.
That's their entertainment.
Put them to work in the Runescape mines.
Didn't know that was such a big economy, that was actually... Horrifying.
I've never played World of Warcraft, so I didn't... Is that real?
Yeah.
Okay.
To be fair, I mean, World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft gold is probably tied to something more reliable than Venezuela.
It genuinely is!
I know, I'm not joking!
Right, so we'll save any video comments or anything like that for the after show that we'll have, so let's go through some comments.
George says, Biden with a MAGA hat and Waltz calling Kamala what she is is true meme magic.
Again, I'm just, I'm really enjoying the fact that they're chanting at their parades or their rallies.
We don't eat cats.
Like, I don't know man, I think that I could probably find one or two of you that do.
I've said on a stream the other day somewhere else, what I'm surprised most about about Kamala Harris is obviously she's just like a cackling buffoon.
Yeah.
Right, okay.
You can get someone that's a career politician like Angela Rayner.
Okay, fine.
But she passed the bar, right?
She was an actual prosecutor, right?
She was a lawyer.
How is that possible?
I don't... She was a prostitute.
According to Tim Walz.
But still, she did appear in court as a prosecutor and things, right?
How can you be that... So did Fanny Willis, so did Alvin Bragg, like so did all of these basically diversity hires that have the IQ of a glass of water.
Yeah.
So we don't know.
I don't know how you appear in court and actually get anything done whilst being that inept and dumb.
Allow me to introduce a criticism from the left of the Democratic Party to point this out.
A lot of the people that she prosecuted were black men convicted for drug crimes, which usually have a massive mountain of evidence and the prosecutor is just there as a formality to just tick a box.
And prior convictions.
So they're all slam dunks, she didn't actually have to win an argument.
You could have a toddler as the prosecutor and still win, yeah.
Also, California's very corrupt, because remember she kept people on death row even when the evidence was going to exonerate them.
So... To be fair though, that's probably her just not doing her job.
She probably just didn't turn up to the office.
Yeah, so it's corrupt.
Well, Wututai says, as a cat enthusiast, I cannot abide this talk of harming a cat in any way, let alone eating one.
A barrack is too soft a word to describe this behavior.
You see, you know Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in my morning.
She took a photo with her cat saying, from a childless cat lady, she had to turn off the comments.
Because immediately, all the responses were exactly what you thought they would be.
This is why it's great Trump doing it.
Even though, really, it was about geese, right?
They were actually stealing the geese.
Trump being like, they're gonna eat dogs, they're gonna eat cats.
Suddenly, Taylor Swift can't have a conversation with her own audience anymore.
He's basically redeemed the childless cat lady discourse and now become the defender of animals.
What we need to start saying is, Taylor, listen.
If Kamala's gonna win this election, you're gonna have to eat your cat.
Live on camera.
Otherwise, you're racist.
Well, if Kamala does win, I mean, it's a bit of a leap, but it's not completely insane that you end up with a Great Leap Forward, a Maoist, early Maoist era, Great Leap Forward era, where there is actually mass starvation.
And then people do have to, quite literally, in the Great Leap Forward, people are eating their pets.
They go quite early on, in fact, your pets.
Yeah, well, we're going to have to go to the Haitians and say, sorry, you were right.
What seasoning do we use?
And the Haitians will be like, oh, really?
Are we going to get into white people don't season their cats discourse?
There's also a very terrible situation because one of the things that JD Vance pointed out is that a lot of the Haitians have HIV.
So if things get really bad, you can't even eat them.
Moving on!
I'm not suggesting anyone should eat anyone.
You cut up the leather from, say, your shoes and boil it up, and it's something just about edible.
You don't really get any nutrition for it, but it's something in your stomach.
It's actually really painful to starve to death.
It apparently hurts.
I can believe it, yeah.
So you'll end up, like, you'll eat bark, or you'll take apart wooden furniture and get the glue, the wood glue.
That's, like, semi-edible.
We'll ask them for the barf cake recipe, I guess.
Or even exhumed bodies.
That happened loads.
Your lovable cat or dog, that's long gone.
That's long gone.
Anyway, looking forward to the optimistic future under Kamala.
I think she's going to win.
I don't know.
I can't see it.
I've got a bad feeling, man.
I can't explain it.
If they augment the results, maybe, but I don't see if it's remotely fair.
I don't see how.
Alex said, years ago, fresh Vietnamese immigrants to Canada were found to be behind the ducks at the local pond going missing.
Police had to inform them that this was not the way in their newly adopted country.
Also, years ago, when I visited China, I'd marvel at the utter lack of birdsong of any kind.
These days, it's starting to return.
Wow, yeah.
I wonder why there's no birdsong in China.
But isn't that interesting?
Because we just assume that lakes have ducks on them, right?
Of course, in Vietnam, maybe they don't.
Maybe they're like, oh.
It's a high-trust country.
Have you seen clips on Twitter of it'll be like a little old Chinese lady cutting down a hedge or something.
There's a little bird's nest.
Oh, I've seen that, yeah.
I've sent that to so many people in this office.
It was you that sent it to me.
She was trimming a hedge and she heard cheeping and she just reaches in and eats a raw baby bird alive as if it's nothing.
She probably lived through the Great Famine, so, you know.
There's two things about that.
One, in and of itself, at first blush, that's just backward and barbaric or whatever.
Secondly, that can't be healthy.
I mean, it's not good for you.
Yeah, surely that's...
It's poisonous on some level.
Eating a raw baby bird is not good for you.
With its guts and its brains and all that.
I'm sure it can't be good for you, but like, you know, what I'm guessing though, I saw that video and I was like, right, this is not the first time she's done this.
No, no, it was nothing to her, yeah.
That was regular.
Yeah, this was just, yeah, you know, like I find blackberries or something.
I was going to say, down the country later, it's like, oh, blackberries, huh?
I'm joking, that's literally what I went out and did with my kids.
Not a single baby bird eaten.
Weird.
We need to call them immigrant blackberries, as someone in the chat pointed out.
Immi- what?
Oh god, yeah.
Baby birds.
Yeah, no.
I don't eat baby birds.
I don't think we need to say that to our audience.
Well, yeah, this is the Kamala Harris way.
Omar says, for me, the beginning of the end of the argument is, since it's rare or not happening, can we ban the behavior and punish and deport the one guy that does?
They will never compromise because they believe it applies to the whole group more than you do.
Yeah.
And also they're kind of in favor of it.
You know, it very, very quickly did we get to leftists being like, well, I eat the dog.
You know, it's okay if they're eating geese, you know, it's just a misdemeanor.
It's like, We are permanently on the precipice of it not happening turning into it's a good thing.
Yeah.
And the distance between it's not happening and it is a good thing is very, very narrow these days.
Literally a matter of days, actually.
Twitter has really compressed this.
This is why I was saying, look, they're just on a clock.
It's only a matter of time until, you know, some Haitian is captured doing it.
The BBC will be putting up recipes of how to eat your cat soon.
Yeah, people would be doing it deliberately in solidarity.
Well, I mean, you know, Taylor.
Sorry, whiskers.
Arizona Desert Rat says, I'm just wondering how they got close enough to the Canadian goose to kill one.
Those things are mean.
It's a Canadian goose that bit me, yeah.
Yeah, the thing is, Canadian geese, they're mean, because you're very, very soft.
You're very nice.
If you wanted to kill a goose, you could obviously kill a goose.
Oh, they're really light.
You can pick them up by the neck and just wave them around.
It's just that you don't want to be aggressive.
Don't do that, though.
Also, the goose that bit me, I was a child, so it was a nonce goose.
Just saying.
I've said that before.
People say... I don't think that makes the goose a nun.
Hello, Lucy's out of context.
People say, be careful of swans.
They're very dangerous.
They're not dangerous.
If you're a full-grown bloke, you boot it in the chest and it blows it up.
Don't boot a swan in the chest.
It's like a goose weighs nothing.
It's a bird.
It's hollow.
Suicide swan.
All their bones are hollow.
A full grown man could get a goose or a swan and just snap.
Don't do that.
Don't do it.
I'm not saying do it.
But that's the point.
The only reason these things seem scary is because you're not in a combat mode.
They're like Jack Russells.
They're just very aggressive to compensate for their inability to fight.
And weigh nothing.
They've got short bird syndrome.
Fuzzy Toaster says, how soon till they start digging up the plumbing and electric cables looking for copper?
What are the odds that they've discovered metal?
Have Haitians discovered metallurgy?
Yeah, exactly.
How much metallurgy happens in Haiti?
I've seen them use, like, corrugated metal, but I don't know whether they're actually manufacturing it themselves.
I would be very surprised.
I imagine they look at it in the same way they look at, like, trees.
You know, it's just something we found.
Is there any heavy industry in Haiti?
Of course not.
Any research and development going on?
They've got a space program now?
Nuclear submarine program?
They move a lot of dirt, I've heard.
They've got intelligence agencies?
I'm gonna look it up.
They don't even have a government.
Their president got shot.
Oh, what the hell, I'm gonna move there now.
Maybe it's time for Wyclef Jean to go back and try and run for president again.
You're going to get trafficked by the Clinton Foundation.
According to Google, textiles, sugar refining, construction... and that's it.
Oh, okay.
That's not very much.
It was a sugar plantation.
I feel like, if you're looking over the past 200 years of industrial output, it's probably down.
They murdered all the white people, and then... French people.
Yeah.
Took all their stuff, haven't moved on for hundreds of years.
They've got worse.
It's only been about 170 years, something like that.
I think the genocide in Haiti of the French people was 1804.
Oh right, so it's been over 200 years.
Was it something like Toussaint Louverture or something was this guy's name?
And I got given a book once for Christmas, I'm pretty sure it was a comedy book, and it was a biography of him making out that he's the goody.
Oh yeah.
And they just can't cover up the stark facts of The genocide they did.
Well they can in the English curriculum at GCSE because we had a poem from John Agard who spoke about parallel black history like Mary Seacole and Toussaint Louverture who was meant to be a hero for black Haitians and led them to liberation.
Absolutely nothing about all the murders.
That's a mandatory text at GCSE in English secondary schools.
Women and children they were butchering as well, not just the men.
And tortured them as well, yeah.
Anyway, Ramshackle Otter says, white people don't season their cats.
That's a good point.
We don't.
That's great minds.
It's totally true, and they've got us on this.
I've never seasoned a cat.
I sleep mine plain.
Just boiled, pain boiled.
Colin says, it's not true that people are eating cats.
They are eating cats, but that's okay.
Eating cats is their culture.
We shouldn't add cats to our menus for cultural enrichment.
It's only a matter of time.
Callum Nickel says, you need to be worried when they run out of cats, or they'll be left as people.
Can't they just get food like everyone else?
We're paying them enough.
Yeah, it's not like America has any lack of food.
Have they seen the average American?
Only Nazis don't eat cats.
Also, that's what I was thinking about.
Isn't America, I don't know about Ohio, obviously not in the cities, in the urban, but there's loads of game in America, isn't it?
Full of wild things like deer and stuff.
Tons.
Absolutely tons.
I guess it takes a little bit of nowt and energy to go and hunt deer.
You have to be able to build a bow and arrow or something.
You've got to remember, the geese are acclimatised to human contact.
People come along, they throw them some bread, the geese are expecting to be fairly well treated by the humans and then they get eaten.
Kukulain says the dirt in the park is free.
I have 7,000 bags of dirt.
Is it like Is it a special kind of dirt?
No.
Well, no, you don't know.
I've seen the video.
One thing I would say, I don't know about Haitian dirt thing, but again, in the Great Leap Forward, in China, in one specific place, there's a type of dirt that was, it was a clay type thing.
And again, you got hardly any nutrient out of it.
It was sort of poisonous, but you could eat it.
Again, like eating leather.
So you've got something in your stomach.
You're going to starve to death very, very, very... Your amount of time on earth is extended a very, very small amount.
But it is extended a small amount.
Right, right, right.
But it was just dirt.
It prevents the stomach acid in your stomach devouring your stomach, doesn't it?
So maybe it's something like that.
You still die.
It's still horrible.
I just don't understand why they're buying bags of dirt on credit.
Like, I'm not using the dirt I'm standing on.
That's disgusting.
You get premium dirt in it.
Yeah, exactly.
You're so white.
I get only the highest grade dirt.
I just want to explain something.
Look, if you harvest the sugar, then you sell that for food.
I mean, sugar is itself a kind of food, but like, ignoring that.
You have to have a functioning environment first.
Have you seen, if you just go on Google Earth and look at Haiti from above, because there's no street view, obviously, you can see that they have absolutely ruined their side of the island.
To the point where there are no animals, everything is polluted.
You can't grow anything there.
Oh yeah, they've got a giant border wall.
I know, yeah.
But it just, I just don't understand.
It's like, look, you can grow sugar here.
Plentiful amounts of sugar.
People like eating sugar, and they'll give you money for sugar.
It comes out the ground!
Like, it's incredible.
Yeah, but do you think they have the cognition capable of long-term planning?
Did you see that Conley Drucker post?
Is that even long-term?
IQ of 67, isn't it?
Did you see the Conley Drucker post where, this was a few years ago, it was a doctor that went over to Haiti.
They don't alphabetise because... They don't have paper!
They don't have long-term memory.
It's crazy.
They can't sort by alphabet or by number, so they'll just get a giant stack of files and manually go through every single one.
As a smoker, I will not be lectured to about preventable deaths from a man releasing rapists and murderers onto the street.
That's a great point.
I mean, literally, the 18-year-old machete killer killed a 14-year-old he let out.
It's like, what are you doing?
Why that guy?
You know, it was, oh, he was the least worst?
What, I mean, because he only stabbed someone because of the far right.
Adorable Kitten Cowering in Fear from Free Range Haitian Barbecue Makers says, Weird how Starmer misunderstands mean testing and means testing as testy and mean.
Yeah.
Again, I am actually in favour of things being means-tested.
If there's some sort of multi-millionaire pensioner, we don't need to give them a pension.
We also wouldn't even need the Winter Fuel Alliance if we hadn't buggered up our energy supply.
I know.
It'd be pennies!
I went on the government website the other day, and they had a thing about nuclear power.
And basically, I calculated, so six nuclear power stations would... We've got 29 million households, and six nuclear power stations would provide them all with power.
And that would cost 130 billion, something like that.
If the French can do it and export it to us, we can do it.
I wrote the paper telling them how to do the funding.
They passed it into law in 2022 and they've just said, yeah, we're going to pause all that.
It's crazy.
Actually, we're only going to invest in renewables, which is going to cost three trillion and cause blackouts.
Fantastic.
Thanks.
Lovely getting in South Africa.
I do think you're right though, Carl, that people that are independently wealthy should get nothing from the state.
Obviously.
That's fair enough.
I want no one to get anything from the state.
This is step one on that path.
Fair enough.
I've got a friend of the family who were very well-to-do and she got a state pension.
She called it handbag money.
So she'd just save it up for a few months and then spend it all on some expensive handbag.
It was just completely money for nothing that she didn't need, she didn't want.
Well, there's some sort of child allowance that my wife was able to claim until the other day when she said, oh, I'm not going to get this child allowance.
And I was like, good?
And she's like, yeah, but that's like 80 quid a month or something.
And I'm like, OK, but why are we getting 80 quid a month from the state?
You know, like, I'm not, like, super wealthy or something, but, like, we're doing fine.
I don't need the government money.
You could have just kept it rather than taking it from you in the first place.
Exactly.
And I'm a net contributor into the system.
I can't even afford to buy a house, probably within my lifetime, except with inheritance.
So I've got to rely on my parents dying to be able to afford to get on the housing ladder, whilst criminals, of course, get priority.
That's nice.
I'm trying to buy at the moment.
It's genuinely miserable.
It's so demoralising.
I looked at my tax bill earlier and I was like, why do I even bother working?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you're too white to get a free house from the state.
Brian says, there's an elderly person receiving more than £13,000 in private pensions will be taxed and not receive a winter fuel allowance.
The tax they pay will allow all MPs to receive free heating in their second home.
Yeah, £13,000 is nothing as well.
It's absolutely nothing.
I can't believe they're like, yeah, £4,000 pension is a price we're willing to pay.
Master of Parsnips says a fitter phoned Julian Hartley Brewer last week.
He worked on refurbishing the immigrant accommodation.
He said the government was paying £8,000 for each tumble dryer and a similar amount for other appliances.
What?
You can get a tumble dryer.
I was just saying, I didn't pay £8 for my bloody tumble dryer.
They'll have a contract.
£100, yeah.
Oh, it's all an exercise in corruption, isn't it?
That's why our corruption figures are so much lower than everywhere else, is because we've legalised it.
Think of all the PPE they burned that was procured by health ministers during the pandemic.
They're just thieves, aren't they?
It's literally £6.4 billion that we're assigning to it, isn't it?
So, like, just billions of pounds.
Fuck, I hate the way this country's being run.
I really hate it.
It just really does my nut.
And the thing is as well, like, when you speak to people who are meant to be in the political know about this, they've no bloody radar.
Like, why is... We're doing this now, right?
We've read that.
Other than one or two reform MPs that tweeted about why are we giving money to foreigners rather than... Who's making noise about this?
This is why I use the example of the Social Democrats in Sweden.
They're at least saying, we do not want ethnic enclaves.
No one in Britain is saying anything like that.
Okay, I agree with you on their solutions.
I'm not a fan of their solutions.
But at least it will do something.
At least we're talking about, maybe there's a problem with this.
We don't have anything like that.
Is Farage even talking about it?
No.
No.
He's got nothing.
He's been remarkably quiet recently.
Yeah.
Weirdly, I've been endorsing Richard Tice recently.
Tice has been very- I know, he's been good!
He's been better, yeah.
I know, he's been really good recently.
Why he wasn't like that leading up to the election is another question.
But still super weak, so it's not addressing any of the real issues at the same- also.
I mean, he is like, let's deport all the foreign criminals.
It's a start.
Yeah, the first rung on a ladder- That's a great start.
He's just saying we should permanently imprison Nick Lowles of Hope Not Hate, which is good.
Yeah, it's good.
That's quite funny, actually.
Yeah, he's had some- Testicles recently.
It's commendable, but it should be EVERYONE.
Like, every single person should be on this page.
Yes.
And I suppose we'll go for one more comment before we take a break.
Kevin says, Somalis may not play a positive role in the job market, but for animal control.
I suppose that is true.
Right, okay, yeah, we're gonna take a sort of five minute break but don't go anywhere because Samson's gonna play a video, is he not?
Yes.
So we'll be back in a minute.
