	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters Jesus, we've got so nicely too Episode 1043 on today, Friday the 15th of November 2024.
	I'm your host Harry, joined today by Carl, looking very Christmassy, and Stelios, looking a bit scruffy.
	And today we're going to be talking about...
	People love it.
	It's the Mediterranean aesthetic.
	We're going to be talking about leftists leaving X, how the government invades your neighbourhood, and finally how the farmers are rising up.
	This afternoon we will be doing a Lads Hour, so if you've got a subscription to the website, please tune in for that at 3 o'clock.
	Anything else to add, gentlemen?
	Yeah, we're going to be watching The View in Lads Hour.
	It's going to be amazing.
	I tried to push that away from my mind, but...
	It's so good, right?
	Because I've got the before podcast show that they've done, and then the one directly after, and we're going to contrast them.
	It's so fun.
	Well, that should be interesting, and that should be a lot of fun.
	So again, if you're subscribed, which you should be, you should check that out at three o'clock.
	Without any further ado, gentlemen, let's get into the news.
	Can you feel it?
	Nature is healing.
	Leftists are leaving X. I feel it in the air.
	There's something changing to the better.
	They're not happy, are they?
	Do you feel it?
	The leftists are taking a month-long break from Twitter before they come back.
	Right, so this is the second day without the Guardian on X. I've been feeling the absence.
	Lots of people are fidgety, but I think we're going to manage.
	I have noticed that my Twitter experience has noticeably improved.
	Yeah.
	I've been twitching, I've been tweaking, I needed to get my fix.
	You ain't seen nothing yet.
	Right, so the Guardian announced that it is no longer posting on X because X is full of far-right conspiracy theorists and racists.
	Hello there.
	It's full of them and the Guardian can have it.
	Yeah, I've got my account restored.
	It's full of...
	Yeah, I have an account as well.
	And it was restored as well, so...
	Oh yeah, you got taken off Twitter for a few days, didn't you?
	Yeah.
	Why?
	I don't know, maybe The Guardian didn't like me.
	You're so milquetoast though, Stelian.
	Right, so let us just talk about some of the really interesting headlines that The Guardian has given us.
	Is it okay for scientists to weep over climate change?
	The budget should be less macho.
	How about it, boys?
	Just that first one, I love how conservative that is.
	The climate should never change, and any change is bad.
	I mean, it's deeply reactionary.
	Well, I would answer that in a, yes, it is okay, as long as I can see the pictures.
	Yeah, as long as you like to sleep.
	Stop calling women girls.
	It is either patronising or sexually suggestive.
	You know, I actually kind of agree with this one.
	Because it really bothers me, the sort of infantilisation of adult women.
	Like, you know the video of those stupid women in the office dancing, where, you know...
	Something in a bob or something like that.
	That annoying video, right?
	Yes, sadly.
	I saw that going around, and a bunch of people go, oh, it's just a bunch of girls having fun.
	It's like, there we go, that's exactly the problem, right?
	They're not girls, they're adult women.
	They're in charge of a company, and they have responsibilities in life.
	Stop treating them like children.
	No, they're overgrown children being looked after in middle management office daycare.
	Which is why everyone hated this video, right?
	Because they were acting so...
	Most women in office management are essentially nursery.
	I didn't know about that, but that one definitely was.
	And that's why people were pissed off at that.
	But also, in a paradigmatic fashion, I think that this misses the point.
	The real question is, is it suspicious to call women babes?
	That could be a question.
	I mean, it's weird.
	But can we call them lasses?
	We can call them lasses if we're far enough north of the border, yeah.
	Right, so we have here, barbecue is an American tradition of enslaved Africans and Native Americans.
	There's no reason to debate guacamole.
	It's already gentrified between...
	No, no, no, no, don't skip past that.
	The traditional holiday cookout has its roots in the co-operation between black and indigenous peoples strongly- I don't believe that.
	I don't believe that.
	They were doing the abolitionist cookout.
	Right, because the thing is that there are two ways of reading this.
	Either the tradition is from African or Native Americans, or the tradition is barbecuing Africans and Native Americans.
	Well, I could believe that.
	That would be in Haiti, wouldn't it?
	Well, they also, there is a strand of black Twitter that thinks that white people used to eat black people, so maybe that's what the Guardian was going for.
	But they do clarify in the byline underneath.
	No, no, they stole it.
	Well, speaking of people who eat people, there has been those hacker dancers from the Maori in the New Zealand Parliament recently.
	What straight men don't understand about lesbians?
	Julie Bindel, I think, is a political lesbian.
	A power lesbian.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So she doubtless knows a lot about lesbianism that I don't.
	I'm going to miss these articles.
	Probably mostly about keeping your guard.
	I mean, they're still there.
	They're still on the website, but you have to travel to the Guardian website.
	But I think also that people need to know.
	Yeah, but nobody's ever going to get to the Guardian website.
	I do, to search for headlines like this, actually.
	Oh, really?
	Help!
	Is my quinoa killing the planet?
	Yeah, I love that my toddler is vegan.
	Yeah, not by choice.
	Right, so the Guardian wasn't the only one.
	Don Lemon torpedoed his account.
	I had a post here, but his account no longer exists.
	He gave us a really interesting letter, and some people have it here that said essentially that he's leaving X, it's too toxic, there are several bad things about it, so he's leaving.
	Notice he also says, well, the X is implementing new terms of service, which means that disputes have to be in a particular court in the United States.
	And they're like, well, that's going to be a conservative area, therefore I have to leave.
	It's like, right, that's very interesting to say that if it's not a Soros-appointed judge, I can't win a lawsuit.
	So, okay, but everything you were doing was frivolous then.
	Also, I want to make something clear, which is that you can deactivate your account, which lasts for 30 days, and if you don't access it within the 30-day period, then it's deleted.
	Do you think he's going to be back?
	I think these people are all addicted.
	They've all done this once before when Elon Musk first took over Twitter, and they all went over to Mastodon.
	I assume they're going over to this new Blue Sky alternative, which is going to be equally rubbish, and they'll all come crawling back.
	Harry, have you...
	Because they have a fetish for humiliation.
	They love getting ratioed.
	They absolutely adore when all of their replies are filled with far-right fascists because they love it.
	Okay, but Harry, have you heard his perspective?
	Because for those who love him and those who don't, I want you to listen to him.
	I have loved connecting with all of you on Twitter and then on X for all of these years.
	But it's time for me to leave the platform.
	I once believed that it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech.
	But I now feel it does not serve that purpose.
	In addition, starting this Friday, November 15th, X is implementing new terms of service, which, among other things, states that, quote, all disputes be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, end quote.
	That are going to be conservative.
	That's his message.
	But it's interesting that he thought Twitter was going to be a place for free speech when most people were, let's say, banned before.
	Then Elon Musk took over.
	Suddenly, it's not a place for free speech because people are unbanned now.
	And Don Lehman can take that.
	Now, also a bridge.
	Oh, not this one.
	This breaks my heart.
	A bridge left X. So, for anyone who doesn't know, this is the bridge in Bristol.
	So, the people who run it.
	For some reason, the people who upkeep this bridge in Bristol.
	F's in the chat, boys.
	F's in the chat.
	Some reason they have a Twitter account.
	I didn't even know about this.
	I don't think anyone knew about this.
	But they also decided that it was time for the bridge to leave Twitter.
	Yeah.
	Because of the far right, which just, again, Bristol.
	The bridge is going to collapse.
	Like that one in America.
	How am I going to get my updates on the bridge?
	Yeah, they are having essentially a ladder of parting ways with Twitter and everyone is heartbroken.
	Why is it inappropriate content and decrease in meaningful engagement with our followers?
	We've chosen some no longer posts to this account.
	I don't know, maybe we don't get enough likes.
	What's to like about a bridge?
	I mean, I like a bridge when I need to get across a river, so that's perfectly good.
	I'm not going to go on Twitter about it, though.
	You guys just wouldn't get it.
	Oh, what a shock.
	P.S. Morgan announces that he is in Living X. I wish you were.
	I wish you were, Piers.
	Right, so Stephen King is leaving X. He says, I'm leaving Twitter.
	Try to stay by the atmosphere.
	It has just become too toxic.
	Follow me on Threads if you like.
	No, Threads is yesterday's excuse and platform to go to.
	You don't want to go to Blue Sky, Stephen.
	That's where everyone's going.
	He is getting on.
	He's not keeping up with things.
	Absolute booze.
	Did you see before the election, did you see that Donald Trump at McDonald's meme that he posted?
	That everybody said, what?
	No, what?
	Whereas Donald Trump, like, waving out of the window, saying, like, no, I don't want to talk about so-and-so.
	Do you want to hear about Ronald McDonald's cock?
	And everybody responded, like, Stephen, did you post this by accident?
	Are you okay?
	What does this mean?
	What?
	What does this mean?
	He wants to draw an inspiration for some of these short stories he writes.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	What did he mean by that?
	They have lots of degeneracy inside.
	He cut to the end of a story and went, ah, struggling to finish this story.
	It'll just have to be another orgy.
	Except Ronald McDonald's in it this time.
	Twitter needs to hear about this.
	The people need to know.
	The people need to know.
	Stephen King actually could replace his entire Twitter presence with just chat GPT program to hate Donald Trump.
	Just constantly shitlib talking point after shitlib talking point.
	We don't need anything else.
	Same with Mark Hamill.
	Like, no one needs to actually see anything they post, because they post absolutely nothing of value.
	Which is just remarkable.
	And I have to say, Stephen King is an amazing author.
	He has written some incredible books.
	And for some reason, his Twitter presence has been a constant cavalcade of disappointment.
	I think, essentially, he wants to step into the shoes of Jack Torrance in The Shining, where he was constantly writing the same thing.
	He said, I hate Donald Trump.
	I hate Donald Trump.
	I hate Donald Trump.
	Also, on the books that he wrote that could be considered good, cocaine is a hell of a drug.
	Well, the thing is that the books are good.
	And lately, I think he has moved away from the more metaphysical and ghost stuff.
	He's trying to be a crime author.
	I don't like it, so I want him to leave Twitter and write some good horror novels, as he used to write in the 70s and 80s.
	So please do this.
	Frank McCormick says, is there you, Stephen?
	Talking about toxicity.
	Having some of the toxicity.
	Leningrad Lindsay.
	Yeah, I think he's talking about...
	Did you mean Lindsey Graham?
	I think he's...
	I've never heard...
	James Lindsey?
	Stephen King has never heard of James Lindsey also.
	That's not even how you spell Lindsey's name.
	He's got an A in it.
	Anyway, you see the Republican Party?
	What a...
	G-O-A-T... Stop it, Stelion!
	He's so unbelievably angry, and he's like, you know what?
	Twitter's become too toxic.
	I'm leaving.
	He's like, thank God.
	That is going to reduce the toxicity.
	Oh, wait, wait.
	The Trump Mafia.
	I'd like to knock their stupid, maskless, super-spreading heads together.
	Oh, watch out!
	Old Stephen King is coming for you!
	Young Stephen King was never a beast, man.
	No, I've seen the pictures of young Stephen King, and then you understand why he writes about the subjects.
	He does.
	Yeah.
	You know MSNBC's host, Joey Reed?
	She'll be missed.
	Excellent.
	She's leaving.
	Hey guys.
	So today I finally did something I've been meaning to do for a while.
	And the reason for doing it and kissing goodbye, my 1.9 million followers over there is because I hadn't been posting for a long time.
	I just didn't want to contribute content once it was purchased by its present owner.
	But just having it there, I was only holding on to it She also had the blue mark.
	Because I, you know, really didn't want someone trying to take over that name and using it for nefarious purposes.
	I was a little bit worried about that.
	And also every so often I would use it to just like sort of look at news that was trending and what's happening and I would just sort of use it as like an aggregator.
	But I just realized that that's not really worth it.
	Because in order to like do the news aggregation and just look at all, You have to wade through a lot of dreck and a lot of just abuse and a lot of just negativity and it's just not worth it.
	Oh, no one cares.
	Shut up.
	Harry, I like your reaction.
	I think I should put you in a room and have this on constant replay.
	What have I done to you?
	I don't know.
	It's just going to be fun to watch.
	What?
	Watch me get tortured?
	Right, so I want you to focus on AOC. What do you notice?
	Lack of pronouns.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Also, just on what Joy Reid said, that she didn't want anybody to be able to, like, misuse her name.
	If she goes past the deactivation point and the account's deleted, at Joyann Reid is then available as a handle.
	So somebody could.
	Which I might.
	A hundred out of a hundred points.
	She torpedoed her pronouns.
	Why is this?
	Well, apparently this was done months ago.
	She had the she-her on her description.
	You can see them here.
	She-her.
	But now she isn't the she-her.
	This was apparently months ago that she got rid of.
	So I'm not going to say anything because...
	Jamie Lee Curtis is leaving X. Yeah, and I'm not going to describe what is being said here, but she is a living ex.
	I don't know if she had much of a presence.
	I didn't even know she was.
	I didn't care.
	Yeah, but she was a celebrity, like some of those celebrities.
	I don't know if she got money from the Kamala Harris campaigns, but...
	But it seemed to me that a lot of celebrities got millions of dollars.
	I don't think she was one of them.
	No, no, she wasn't one of them.
	But weren't other celebrities?
	Oh, yeah.
	Paid millions of dollars to essentially go up on stage and say, the teleprompter is destroyed.
	I need someone else to give me an iPad.
	I'm telling you what to say.
	Right, so Nicole Wallace says here that as a human, she deleted a Twitter, as opposed to what?
	An alien.
	Yeah, I do.
	Let's listen to him.
	I have this sort of insatiable interest in every bit of wisdom you can impart.
	And as a journalist, I hear you about girding ourselves for this moment.
	As a human, I deleted Twitter today as an act of self-preservation.
	And because I was no longer able to find the things I was interested in, I was seeing a lot of things that I'm not.
	As an act of self-preservation.
	Like, she was spending so much time on Twitter, she was forgetting to eat.
	You know what's interesting though?
	MSNBC, their numbers are completely in the toilet.
	Like in the prime time they were getting something like 50,000 views and for the whole day they were getting like 400,000 views in total for the whole day.
	It's just like, oh my god.
	But, yeah.
	No, no, I mean, their viewership is declining.
	Oh, it's not just declining, it's actually down like 50%.
	Surely they should be thrilled now that Donald Trump is going to be president again, that they can go...
	It's free-falling.
	I think this is like, for them, content for days, you know, like, oh, four years of us ragging on the Orange Man, brilliant, we're going to make so much money.
	But he won the popular vote, nobody cares anymore.
	But there's an interesting question here to ask, where is all the empowerment?
	Where has all the empowerment gone?
	I mean, if all the empowerment goes to forge an elite sentimentality where you can't accept that other people may disagree with you, something's really wrong.
	Yeah, but free speech is when those guys get censored.
	We have here popular left-wing political commentator Jennifer Rubin announces that she's leaving X and plans to leave no longer.
	Is she in New York Times or something like that?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, great.
	Don't care.
	Good.
	I think I've seen her published in The Guardian.
	Washington Post, MSNBC contributor.
	Oh no.
	Yeah, and people are saying essentially that she has a record of essentially weird analysis of politics.
	I'm so shocked.
	What a surprise.
	Yeah, what a surprise.
	But what is interesting is that there are a lot of people now that are very much worried that Twitter is going to become an echo chamber.
	I think that it's not.
	Oh, it's going to become an echo chamber?
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's going to become one?
	My god, that'll be the first time ever.
	No, but the point is that with these people, they weren't actually contributing to any kind of discourse.
	Yeah.
	That wasn't discourse.
	So, no, if it's going to become an echo chamber or not, it doesn't depend on these people being on the platform.
	Salios, where am I going to go to find the absolute worst takes ever now?
	You can tune in to MSNBC. But what if that goes off the air because of the cratering viewership?
	We can do something about it.
	You can visit the Guardian's website.
	God.
	I can make...
	I can assure you that I can...
	I will be sending you stuff like that if you want to.
	Thank you.
	Studios has a nose for it.
	I actually do hope they come back, because I enjoyed the sort of Thunderdome aspect of Twitter.
	Yeah.
	You know, I like getting bombarded with bizarre takes from all points of the political compass.
	And if suddenly, like, the shitly bit drops out, I'll be disappointed.
	I'm like, oh.
	To be fair, I've not seen a mass exodus of FBPE profiles yet.
	Yeah, no, I haven't seen any of that.
	So they're still around, so we can still have the gladiatorial combat.
	So I still have the second worst takes.
	Okay, so question here.
	They're pretty high up there.
	I know!
	I know!
	Ken Rubin, FBPE. I think they're going to be back.
	And I'm giving it about a month.
	Before all of their accounts get deleted.
	Three weeks to a month.
	I think Harry's nailed it on that.
	Because I didn't realise that you had a month before it was permanently gone.
	Yeah.
	Right, that explains it.
	Because otherwise, Joy-Anne Reid is going to have somebody on Twitter.
	Me!
	It's going to have Carl faking that.
	Joy-Anne Reid.
	I'll just change my name to Carl Benjamin on it.
	But do you think the bridge is going to come back?
	I think the bridge is not going to be back.
	I think that's the most terrible tragedy of that.
	It'll be a real loss for Twitter.
	A real loss.
	Right.
	Why did they think it was worth announcing?
	Nobody knew it existed.
	Anyway, do you want to go through some of your rumble rants?
	Yeah.
	I'll do.
	Caleb says, this is a Stelios shaming chap for not wearing a tie.
	Good point.
	This is another one.
	Dogbreath says, when the Guardian criticizes guacamole, does it actually mean mushy peas?
	I like mushy peas, man.
	I don't know what guacamole is.
	It's like mushy peas or something.
	It sounds disgusting.
	No, the Mexicans are right.
	They've got every bean under the sun, but haven't managed to figure out baked beans yet.
	It's gross.
	You didn't read the person who's praising me for not wearing a tie?
	Yeah, I know.
	I deliberately avoided that.
	You shouldn't be praised for that.
	This is a new pressure.
	The only reason you didn't wear the tie today is because you were messing it up.
	Yeah.
	This is behind the scenes exclusive news.
	Peter says...
	What people tune in for.
	Blue Sky looks suspiciously like an exact Twitter clone right down to the icons.
	How long before they assume copyright infringement?
	Well, the thing is, it was made by Jack Dorsey.
	So, like, he made Twitter and he's like, I'm going to make Twitter again.
	But why do we need to do that?
	They're all Twitter clones anyway, but nobody ever goes to them because everybody's already on Twitter.
	Hewitt wants to know what we've done to deserve this Stelios.
	He means the tie.
	Or lack thereof.
	No, he meant Clifton Bridge.
	What have we done?
	Ceyron says, Hi guys, I have a Blue Sky account because I have a couple of friends over there who don't really use Twitter accounts.
	That being said, it's so boring over there and it looks almost identical.
	Well, that's because you're literally getting one kind of take the whole time.
	And so it's like, okay, that is dull.
	Fun comes from contradiction.
	To be fair, on Twitter, at least you've got a pretty high chance of whatever you post, a load of retarded Mexican groipers will show up in your chat to call you Jewish for no reason.
	Brilliant.
	That's always funny when that happens.
	Let's carry on.
	Anyway...
	On to some not-so-happy news now.
	I'm gonna take us through how the government, particularly the UK government and other Western governments, invade your neighbourhood because the government at any time will just airdrop in a load of new soldiers, new British people into your neighbourhood, which you can do absolutely very little about and this is a lot down to the completely broken asylum system that we have in the UK. Max on Twitter, Excellent poster, I've been promoting him quite a bit recently, but honestly he's been doing some really good work.
	Found this post on Reddit from a former asylum decision-maker who now works for the Department of Works and Pensions, where he explains just how broken the system is.
	Now this is from a year ago, so we'll see in a moment that Max actually got contacted by people who work as asylum decision-makers right now, who filled in some extra developments that have gone on since a year ago.
	It was bad a year ago, but it's so much worse now.
	It's so much worse.
	So if you're wondering why it is that the UK government just lets so many asylum claims through, it's because basically the entire system works as a system of middle management office targets.
	So in the same way that when I worked at a call centre, I was expected to hit a certain amount of calls every day, and behave in a particular kind of way on those calls, and maybe if I was doing insurance, get a certain amount of claims through every day.
	That's the exact same kind of target incentive structure that they have for asylum claims decision making.
	So here, he says, uh, the role changed so much in a single year, your target is events!
	That's interviews with asylum seekers or completed decisions, either grant or refusal.
	Initially the target was four events, by the time I left it was up to eight, as the Prime Minister tries desperately to clear the backlog.
	Now this would have been Rishi Sunak, but we know that Keir Starmer has made similar promises.
	Is that like per day or per week or what?
	I would assume per day.
	Or at least, maybe per week actually.
	He says, regard- er, so, the job is aggravating because asylum seekers have all been prepped in the two or so years between claiming asylum and the interview that they end up having with you.
	For example, every Turkish or Iranian claims the same.
	Supporter of a political party, spotted putting up anti-government posters, chased escapes, goes to uncles while the authorities raid their home, gets stuffed in a lorry and taken out of the country.
	Every single one.
	Then there's Eritreans.
	If they prove they're Eritrean and not, for example, Ethiopian...
	I just phoned you up.
	Erdogan, check the lorries.
	Check the lorries.
	I know you've got him on speed dial, so I'm sure he'll take your advice there.
	Thank you, Carl.
	You're an excellent ally.
	If they prove they're Eritrean, they automatically get granted because nobody can legally leave Eritrea and they will be imprisoned upon return.
	Hello, dictator of Eritrea.
	Check the lorries.
	Same for the Iraqis.
	Get them on the phone too, Carl.
	Every Iraqi needs a CSID card in Iraq or they'll get questioned at checkpoints.
	Every single Iraqi claims that they have lost theirs, so they automatically get granted humanitarian protection.
	Lost it, bro!
	Because if they return to Iraq without it, they'll be tortured at the airport.
	Regarding the targets as well, so here's where the slippery middle management aspect of it comes into it.
	Regarding the targets, a grant takes about half a day to write.
	So that's if you're letting them into the country.
	So it's going to be eight a week.
	A refusal, a full day.
	This is not considered when the week ends and your total is totted up, so what you'll get is a case that you want to refuse, but you'll be missing your target if you do so, and you'll find a reason to grant it instead anyway.
	That's basically how the Prime Minister is trying to clear the backlog.
	So not actually taking due diligence, not actually looking into the accuracy of the claims and processing them that way, just get them through to meet your target because your job is at stake.
	Directly incentivized to let people in.
	This is another layer of the onion of deception because what we need to bear in mind when we're talking about European countries and Western countries and countries elsewhere is that we have democracies and because we have democracies a lot of politicians think only their re-election and they have four years planning in their mind.
	And what happens is that in other countries, countries such as these, they may have decades of planning before.
	So one of the plans that they have is to ship a lot of people into the West, make them vote for the open borders agenda, and then open the borders and be able to increase the power of the lobby in the West.
	That's certainly one aspect of it.
	But also, again, it's this...
	The managerialism of our current society just means that every aspect of society has to be managed in the same way that an office environment does.
	And it's subject to the same petty incentives that they all are.
	And in fact, somebody in the replies here has said, I see this also from the job centre side.
	Now, interestingly, earlier on this year, I spoke to somebody who works at a local job centre...
	And mentioned, oh, because he was living near a load of the Turkish barbers and stuff, and I joked saying, I see you've got a lot of money laundering fronts nearby.
	And he was like, huh, yeah.
	And then he started talking about his job in the job centre, saying that he would get these large groups of Albanians who clearly couldn't speak English, but had all claimed asylum or got into the country in some illegal way.
	And they would always have one representative who could speak English, who had been coached on what to say to get them all jobs, and he couldn't do anything about it even if he knew that what was going on right in front of his eyes was illegal.
	So, but from what you see there, that's pretty bad.
	Obviously, that's terrible.
	Well, as I mentioned, people have been getting in touch with Max ever since then, and it's gotten a lot worse.
	A lot worse.
	So he couldn't reveal who sent him these DMs, but you can see here that he has been DM'd by people, saying that the grants that took a half day to write, now they've got a streamlined process that takes 10 minutes.
	Rubber stamp!
	Rubber stamp!
	Yep.
	Copy and paste templates of reasons for every decision.
	Refusal letters still take a day or longer.
	People wonder why we're a poor country now.
	Yeah.
	He says, I'm not exaggerating.
	If somebody is interviewed and the interviewer thinks, yeah, that's probably a grant.
	The streamlined process is five checkboxes and two places to paste pre-written case law.
	That's just the job.
	The job, if you get hired as an asylum decision maker, your job is not to make a decision on the legitimacy of their claim.
	Your job is to rubber stamp it.
	And it goes even worse here.
	The vast majority, he says, of children we get are over 18, pretend to be kids.
	I can't believe they're taking us for mugs.
	I know.
	Making a decision on age is the responsibility of social workers.
	If they make a decision that the applicant is a child, the councils get money.
	Further incentives.
	And who do the social workers work for?
	Well, they work for the councils.
	So there's incentives at every stage of this structure to get them through and get them through as quickly as possible because then the Guardian, the Times, all of the newspapers can print nice big headlines saying, backlog cleared, that's the hope.
	That's what the government wants.
	That's what they want, that's what they hope, but then they keep coming across the channel so the problem is never ending.
	I bet they went to the nudge unit and were like, look, we just need a system of incentives to get the people doing the approvals to just approve really quickly, and they're like, oh right, we can sort that out for you.
	Yeah, and you can see on the government website itself the kind of funding incentives that go to these councils.
	So as an example, Kent is recognised as being a geographical disadvantage because of the number of unaccompanied, asylum-seeking children arriving by small boats.
	So additional funding is made available to encourage quicker transfers of these children from Kent County Council's care.
	And this was from up until 31st of October, just a few weeks ago, and another scheme is going until the end of this month, the 30th of October.
	The one that was going up to the end of October was that if you could get a transfer within five working days, sorry, within two working days, the council would get 15 grand for it.
	The one that's running up until November, the end of November, is if you can get it within five working days, a transfer from Kent to any other council in the country, you get six grand for it.
	And the councils are chronically underfunded, or at least they say they are, because they're spending so much in health and social care, as we looked into with Swindon last year.
	Yeah, I just...
	Every day I become more inclined to some kind of V for Vendetta solution.
	So yeah, yeah, let's just have that.
	They're not going to be spending loads of money on refugees.
	No comment.
	No comment on that.
	But here it ends up with situations like this, which is an excellent thread on a situation that is developing currently in Altringham, which is a town in Greater Manchester.
	And let's go through what's going on.
	An influx of recent migrants to Altringham has hit the local news, sorry, the national news this week, and this is an insider account of what has been going on.
	So, as of last week, 300 all-male migrants were bussed into the Cresta Court Hotel in Altringham.
	This was the evening that it was announced to the public, presumably to cause as little stir as possible.
	The deal was between Serco, the home office, and the owners of the hotel.
	When I take over, Serco's getting a bomb.
	Oh, absolutely.
	The owner of the hotel, well, he was the former Football Association chair and ex-director general of the BBC, Greg Dyke, who received substantial compensation and ministerial approval to house these migrants.
	He'd previously given Tony Blair a £55,000 donation in the 90s and is closely affiliated with the Labour Party.
	So he's an insider, getting backhand deals from them.
	The hotel is within yards, I think it's basically opposite a primary school.
	Ten minutes walk from Loretto Girls' School and 17 minutes walk from Altringham Girls' and Bowdoin Girls' Primary, fueling concerns about the safety of the local children.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	Yeah, and the first that the locals heard about it, as you can see from the screenshot of a Facebook comment, was a news page posted that bookings for the forthcoming year at the hotel were cancelled without warning, including events and people's weddings.
	Oh, this is just like the migrant hotel we had very recently, where just all of the rooms in the entire hotel were just booked up indefinitely.
	So you can't do anything with the hotel because there are foreigners occupying it.
	Yeah, you just can't do it.
	And then look at what this comment actually says.
	The remaining staff are told to wear their own clothes, no name tags, do not divulge any personal information to the residents, and they are told that the hotel cannot guarantee their safety.
	Okay.
	So that's how much the hotel trusts these men coming into the community.
	But of course, Greg Dyke's getting a backhand for it, so that's absolutely fine.
	By the way, don't dress like you work at a hotel because people might be angry with you.
	Also, can't guarantee your safety when you're working there.
	Good luck.
	Also, it's right near a load of primary schools, but we can't guarantee the hotel staff safety.
	But we're sure that nothing bad could happen with these schools.
	Absolutely fantastic.
	Would it surprise you to know that the local MP is this newly elected little Labour scrote?
	No.
	Connor Rand.
	He's a trade union researcher.
	Oh, so he's done a real hard day's work in his life then.
	Yep.
	And this is the very first time Altringham has ever voted Labour to represent them.
	Wow, that was a mistake, wasn't it?
	Well, but it was probably not that they wanted Labour, it's just that most people didn't show up to vote for the Conservatives.
	So who were the Conservatives who didn't vote for reform?
	Yeah, that's a good question.
	So in response, a number of meetings have been set.
	The first was a Tory council members with limited capacity.
	The MP did not attend, but this was filmed by Sky at the local church.
	Despite heated moments, it was amicable, unlike the next one, when Connor Rand, the local MP, organised a drop-in session at the Methodist church opposite the hotel.
	Lots and lots of people showed up, and he showed up with a bodyguard.
	for obvious reasons.
	Hundreds come and go as Rand is subjected to enraged locals shouting at him.
	A woman screams in his face and is escorted away by the bodyguard.
	Others call him a traitor and a man advises that he should update his CV as he'll need it soon.
	Many tell him he's out of his depth.
	Any difficult questions?
	He tells, oh, it's above my pay grade, or that's a question for the home office.
	You're an MP, man.
	Come on.
	Exactly, but in the managerial hierarchy, that's above my pay grade.
	Sorry, I'm only a middle manager, you need a higher middle manager to answer that question for you.
	And they're all booked up at the moment, so we can't say anything.
	He didn't have any specific figures regarding costs.
	He confirmed the contract is 12 months, but may be extended, which means it will be extended.
	The locals ask if there's a curfew for the migrants.
	There isn't.
	So they're just free to roam as much as they want?
	This is crazy.
	And they've been given mobile phones.
	Oh, brilliant.
	So that's essentially a convenient way of everyone saying it's not my responsibility.
	Well, we've given them mobile phones, so at least we know they'll be working for delivery.
	Petty middle management incentive structures and behavior.
	That's not my problem.
	That's more than my job's worth.
	It is literally a government of low IQ jobs worths.
	Yeah.
	That is what we have, especially across the local constituencies.
	Once a decision has been made on asylum, new migrants will be brought into the hotel, so you get a constant flow of invaders coming into your local community eyeing up the children in the primary schools.
	Fantastic.
	Someone asks if they can be vetted if we don't know who they are.
	Rand says, well, they've been asked lots of questions.
	But we know from over here that the questions that they're asked, the people listening to those questions, are also Jobsworths who are incentivized not to think too hard about it and push them through anyway.
	Yeah, and they've got a stock response anyway.
	So, oh yes, I fled Turkey from the back of a van, blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, but basically people were very, very angry the whole time, but one of the biggest annoyances that people got from this was this moment right here, where they learned that the migrants, when they were worried about whether they were going to start filling up NHS backlogs, don't worry, we've got a very simple solution for any backlogs in the NHS that could be caused by this.
	There's things like the input to hospitals, doctors, dentists, the facilities we have.
	We're already fairly stretched, I feel, in the area.
	Is that going to be something...
	So my understanding is, we've contracted with GoDoc, which I think is the sort of night-time service, it's a private doctor's system.
	And my understanding, that's not a statement.
	That should mean they won't be just putting weight on our...
	I'm a doctor!
	We're all tax-facing!
	We're all three years waiting for this at the hospital and we're finding out that our services that's given to that place in the UK is a good enough!
	And the head's worth it!
	Yeah, people furious.
	It's always someone else's responsibility.
	Just to make sure I'm clear about that, did he say that he was going to be paying for private healthcare for these illegal migrants?
	Someone's going to be paying...
	Well, yeah, not he.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The local council, to avoid NHS backlogs, will be paying for private healthcare.
	For a bunch of grifting loser men who have managed to sail across the channel.
	And what does the local news, because obviously this is Greater Manchester, there are local reports going on as well, such as this one, from the Manchester Evening News.
	Arrivals that have divided the town.
	Oh no, I think it may have united the town.
	Who's in favour of this?
	One or two idiots.
	They can find one or two people that they've cornered on the street and go, do you think we should let them in?
	And they're like, yeah, sure, whatever.
	Let's get on with my shopping.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, asylum seekers living in a hotel in Ultringham have told of their traumatic journeys, so they get a nice puff piece.
	In the local news, they get a nice puff piece.
	And tell me if this sounds familiar to the Reddit post, one of the stories in this article, okay?
	Back at the hotel, Abel is explaining how he fled Eritrea.
	As a small boy with his mum after his dad, a Pentecostal Christian, was arrested by police.
	To this day, he has no idea what happened to him.
	Oh, boo-hoo!
	I guess we'll have to take you in.
	I guess you're my responsibility now.
	Yeah, give him free healthcare.
	Yeah, but pay for private healthcare.
	There you go.
	But after moving to Ethiopia, he said the persecution continued and said his mum was arrested on suspicion of being a spy.
	Likely story.
	It's amazing how every single one of these people...
	Have some kind of, like, James Bond spy backstory.
	He was later told that she had died after being beaten while in custody.
	When I was a young boy, everything was good.
	But then it went bad.
	In Ethiopia, people thought my mum was a spy.
	They told us we were not Ethiopian.
	They told us to go to another country.
	So I had no choice but to be bussed over to England, put over in a dinghy, and then given free private healthcare by the local council.
	Amazing.
	How do you think the money paid the people traffickers?
	That's a good question.
	How do you afford that?
	His explanation, I think, in the article is basically, oh, well, some of the other people who had paid snuck me on.
	Oh, really?
	Did they?
	Yeah, sure.
	Those people traffickers are running a loose ship, aren't they?
	And again, as we know, if they can...
	There's so much room on the dinghies.
	Sorry, I... I know.
	As we know from here, as well, if they can prove that they're Eritrean, How?
	I mean, they don't have ID, they don't have any identifying documents.
	I doubt they do.
	Could you imagine if they're doing a 23andMe test for them?
	They just automatically get through.
	Automatically put through, so they can be airdropped right next to a primary school near you, where maybe your children go.
	If I wasn't married with kids, I would probably go to France, pay to get on one of these dinghies, come across, and look them dead in the eye and say, yeah, I'm from Eritrea.
	Oh yeah, no, you need to give me a hotel.
	Put me in the hotel.
	Give me the money.
	Oh, this?
	Alvino, mate.
	Yeah, exactly.
	What about your accent?
	Well, I just really like British TV. I would just see how far I could get with my obviously English accent.
	Through the system, just to see if they're...
	No, no, that's obviously not true.
	You know, just...
	I'm just so sick.
	But then, who knows, you might even be able to put, like, an HMRC complaint through.
	Exactly!
	Getting fired!
	You're denying my human rights, bro.
	And this is...
	I just can't get...
	This isn't specific to England or Manchester.
	This is happening in Ireland too.
	So this is in a place called Athlone, which is in Central Ireland, where women are being, trying to, well basically what's happening is, in this area an asylum centre is being built without the consent or information of the locals.
	In this video, the women are trying to block the vehicles carrying the building materials to the site that's going to have 1,000 migrants pumped straight into it.
	Yeah, and here you can see the Garda, the Irish police, you know, doing their civic duty, upholding law and order by pushing them up.
	We think this is everything together.
	It's the same one again, isn't it?
	Yeah!
	I mean, fair that they're in good spirits, but again, most of the time the police are not on your side with things like this.
	The police will do exactly what the state tells them, so don't ever think they're going to side with you.
	Yeah, this article has more information on it if you want to check in the description below.
	But what it does say here is that the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth said last month that it plans to develop a new International Protection Accommodation Centre at Lizzywollen Athlone.
	The planned development of the Midland Accommodation Centre at this state-owned site will be supported by an extensive programme of local engagement.
	I don't want to have to be forced to deal with these people.
	The site being developed in Lizzy Wallum will provide tented and modular accommodation for international protection applicants.
	They're all children, bro.
	They're just a load of kids who look 30 years old.
	Work to enable provision of accommodation at this site will commence soon, as the first residents will be accommodated, about five weeks after work's commenced.
	So you've got no time to prepare for this, no time to plan, no time to protest, except for maybe a few women get to get pushed around by the police.
	But, happily, there have been protests with this, peaceful protests, where there have been people show up in enough numbers after this video of the police pushing these women come around that they have been able to block some of the trucks and lorries carrying building materials and at least slow down the airdropping of potentially violent invaders into their town.
	It's so bad that even the local council there, the local authority, has put in a complaint to the government and said, we never agreed to this.
	We don't want this.
	We're some tiny little town in the middle of Ireland that's probably more like 19th century peasant town than anything in England.
	And we've had several segments on this topic.
	Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's multiple times.
	Atrocious.
	And not to say that obviously this is all completely intentional.
	There's been this very famous clip come out over the past few days of John McTernan, former aide to Tony Blair, saying that we want to destroy the small farmers, do to them what Thatcher did to the miners.
	So this is all completely intentional.
	They want to destroy your local community.
	They want to break up local ties, local bonds, local traditions and cultures.
	So that you can just be another deracinated tick box, another deracinated figure on a spreadsheet that could be moved around according to the whims of middle management.
	And at the very least, somebody like Jeremy Clarkson in the UK and England is starting to try and stand up with it.
	Pretty extremist terms by saying that they're trying to ethnically cleanse British farmland.
	And whatever you think of the language he's using, he's right.
	He's absolutely right.
	And people do need to stand up to this.
	That will be the consequence of this, even if that allegedly isn't the intention.
	Exactly.
	Let's move on to your segment.
	Well, yeah, well...
	We've got some little rants, yeah.
	A. Miller says, giving phones, it's almost like they want them to be able to organise.
	It makes about as much sense supporting Germans in the 1940s and giving them radios.
	Yeah, I mean, it does seem...
	Essentially, it's like, here's a phone.
	Don't become a drug dealer.
	It's like, okay...
	I won't.
	Also, don't call all of your friends back home and tell them how easy it was to get here.
	TikTok videos to show everyone how this was done.
	And then videos threatening Nigel Farage.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Anyway, so, in response to what is happening, the farmers in Britain are actually rising up.
	There is going to be a protest on Tuesday the 19th of November, so next Tuesday, in central London, outside of Parliament.
	And we are going to cover it.
	I'm going to go down to it and interview a bunch of the farmers and ask them what their opinions are.
	Why are they here?
	But to be honest with you, I think I'm just going to...
	I know what I'm going to say.
	It's like, well, the Labour government appears to be trying to destroy us completely and we don't want to be destroyed.
	Before we go on, though, do go check out our merch store.
	Go get a For England t-shirt because, frankly, this is the theme of the day as far as I'm concerned.
	Let me pinch that.
	Sorry.
	So, this of course all begins with the government changing inheritance tax when it comes to farms.
	The Agricultural Property Relief is once known as.
	It's a type of inheritance tax relief, so normally this is on quite expensive farms, but the government is going to change this so you will only get the full 100% relief on inheritance tax For farms up to a million pounds.
	Now, England is a small country.
	We have a very large population.
	Therefore, land costs a lot of money.
	Therefore, you don't have to have very much land to have a million pounds worth of farm.
	In fact, it's probably not even very big, to be honest, by Australian or American or Russian standards or something like that.
	By any other country that has quite a lot of land, England's going to be a very expensive place.
	And so what this means is above this amount, landowners will have to pay an inheritance tax at a reduced rate of 20% rather than a standard 40%.
	Okay, that's not too bad.
	Well, no, hang on a second.
	If you are imparting a piece of land from you to your son, that suddenly comes with a massive bill.
	a gargantuan bill from the government and again a million pounds worth of farmland in england is not that much and in fact i have some numbers that we're going to go through in a minute which will tell us exactly how much a farmer can expect to make on around that sort of yeah but before you're saying there for the audience just consider say you've got a farm that costs about what is worth on paper about two million pounds uh You're about to pass it over to your son, and all of a sudden it's got a £400,000 bill attached to it.
	What are you going to do?
	Out of the ether, the government shows up and says, oh, haven't you forgotten to ask somebody?
	Yeah, you're going to have to sell, like, you know, 20% of your farm in order to be able to pay that bill.
	Brilliant.
	Thank you, government.
	And so they did this and they're like, look, this isn't going to affect most farmers, we promise.
	But I guess they must have failed to understand just how expensive land is in England.
	So figures produced by the Department for Food and Rural Affairs have been interpreted by farmers groups to suggest that up to two-thirds of farms could be hit by this.
	So 66% of the farms are going to be hit by this, whereas the Treasury had claimed it was only 28%.
	Okay, only 28%, only nearly a third of farms are affected by this.
	But no, two-thirds, right?
	And so the figures they have shows the average farm is worth 2.2 million pounds And 66% of them are worth a million or more.
	So most farmers are going to be hit by gargantuan inheritance tax bills from the government.
	Now, just to make it clear, I hate inheritance tax as a concept.
	It seems to me intrinsically unjust that after every single goddamn tax on everything that you have to pay, and you have to pay loads of taxes that you don't even see.
	There's loads of hidden taxes on everything you buy, like VAT and...
	Duties and all this sort of stuff.
	And that's just on top of the government just reaching into your pocket and just being like, yeah, I'm taking a quarter of that.
	On top of all that, finally at the end, you've got the slow trickle of money.
	You're like, I'm going to put a bit of that away for a rainy day.
	And the government goes along, haha, no you don't.
	I'm taking some of that too.
	I hate it.
	I hate inheritance tax so much.
	And again, I don't stand to inherit anything, I'm very much against it on principle, right?
	So, the point being, almost the majority of farmers are going to be affected by this.
	So, brilliant, okay, great.
	The Labour government is liquidating the kulaks, as every good communist government does.
	So the farmers are protesting about this.
	Not a great surprise, right?
	It would be remarkable if they weren't protesting about this.
	As they point out in Yahoo News here, the farmers say that this will have a, quote, catastrophic impact on family-owned farms and will lead to food rises.
	This is just like the government coming in and saying, I'm your partner.
	Your business partner.
	Basically, yeah.
	I mean, it's not even necessarily that.
	It's the government actively saying to farmers, yes, we are targeting you, yes, we are persecuting you, yes, we are doing this on purpose.
	And if you could have a little bit of wiggle room before to say, well, that's not what they're doing, they're trying to do it, the excuse was to try and target rich fat cats who try and buy farmland so they can avoid taxes later on, because a few rich people have done that in the UK. Well, then we have John McTernan explicitly saying we should destroy the small farmers, saying we don't need them.
	And as Jeremy Clarkson pointed out when he talked about this in The Sun, he's like, why is it such a carpet bomb effect that you're doing?
	Why is it two-thirds of farmers are going to be affected by this, then?
	You know, if it's just, oh, we're worried about a few fat cat landlords.
	No, you're not.
	Because what you're going to do is force two-thirds of the farmers to sell up their farms, and who's going to buy that?
	BlackRock.
	That's who's going to buy that.
	It's going to be massive international monetary funds.
	And so they are going to just buy up English farmland, and suddenly we're going to find ourselves dispossessed in our ancient country.
	Sorry, what are we doing?
	This is crazy.
	And everybody knows that attacking the food supply domestically has always ended.
	Communists have always done so well with that.
	And it also increases the food dependency on foreign farmers.
	Exactly.
	It puts us completely at the mercy of international markets, which is actually something I don't want to be at the mercy of all the time.
	But of course, as they point out, look, this is going to lead to food price rises.
	Yeah, well, I mean, you know, it's the Labour government.
	You didn't expect them to do something good for poor people, did you?
	No, they're going to make things more expensive, obviously.
	So, Jeremy Clarkson will be appearing, apparently, at the farmers' protest, but he won't want to lead it, because he said that, look, I'm not a family farmer, and those who support Kirsten will point this out.
	That means any points scored will be lost in a blizzard of classwell shoutiness.
	I don't think the class issue is an issue here at all.
	Jeremy Clarkson is at least a farmer.
	Yeah, I don't think people will care, and I think that's a very, very easy problem to just step over.
	But, consider this...
	From John Campbell's Heroes Journey.
	What is this?
	This is the refusal of the call.
	Good point.
	That's a good point.
	That's a great point, actually.
	But Clarkson is, of course, incredibly sympathetic because he's got, and we know, we know exactly how Clarkson engages with his fellow farmers because he's been on bloody Clarkson's farm for the last four years or whatever.
	On that show, you see his active attempts to try to help the other farmers around him because he knows they form a little community of their own and he knows how much they all struggle.
	Exactly.
	And again, if we hadn't watched him doing this for the last four years, then maybe we'd be like, wow, what does he know?
	But no, we know he knows, because we've seen the meetings where they're sat around despondent that things are getting worse and worse and worse, and Clarkson's just like, okay, what can I do?
	Anyway, so there was a petition by the farmers, because thousands of them are opposing this, A thousand people a day were signing an Ulster Farmers Union petition.
	This was a couple of days ago, but there were nearly 9,000 signatures added to it of farmers, not just random people.
	So 9,000 farmers have got together and said, well, look, this is a real problem, isn't it?
	Yes, yes it is.
	The Agriculture and Environment Minister Andrew Muir has told the Assembly that many farms across Northern Ireland will be affected by the change, particularly the dairy sector.
	Oh good, the price of milk's going to go up, the price of beef is going to go up.
	Brilliant.
	By his research, the department indicated that 75% of dairy farmers would fall above the tax threshold.
	Really, it's because cows aren't cheap.
	So you need land and cows and that's not a cheap thing to have.
	Right, okay, brilliant.
	So you've got 9,000 farmers petitioning the government saying, listen, this isn't good.
	Here is an actual petition.
	Could you please change your position on this because it's going to ruin us?
	And the government's like, no, obviously not.
	I mean, just a flat no.
	Well, did you see something fun about Rachel Reeves, who is the head of the Treasury now, who put forward this budget, which was that for a very, very long time she'd been claiming that she'd been an economist at the Bank of England from 2006 to 2009?
	Well, some plucky journalists on earth that actually, she wasn't an economist.
	She worked in a sales department at Halifax for three years.
	And she very subtly changed it on LinkedIn.
	I thought it was the Bank of Scotland, actually.
	Oh, it might have been the Bank of Scotland.
	But the point being, a salesperson is exactly where she should be.
	Just in an office somewhere, wearing a pantsuit.
	Well, now I think she should be in a prison.
	Well, yeah, obviously.
	A person of her intellect and status should never have got to Chancellor of the Exchequer.
	I mean, Maven pointed it out just saying lowest IQ government in British history.
	Yeah, 90 IQ government.
	It's so obvious.
	It's unbelievably destructive, because ultimately, what's the endgame here?
	Destroy British farmers.
	Exactly.
	And it has never worked.
	Yeah.
	Communist farming has never worked.
	And yet, here we are, in Britain, in 2024, with a communist government.
	She put up a picture of the founder of the Communist Party of Great Britain in her bloody office, and now she's destroying the Kulaks.
	And not only this, but also the plan for increasing centralization of the economy.
	Such a good idea, Stelius.
	What are you talking about?
	Well, the 20th century has shown us.
	Leading millionaires and billionaires to leave the country.
	Yes.
	Nine and a half thousand of them a year leave Britain.
	But, Carl, have you considered that people aren't going to be as envious?
	They aren't going to feel as envious because they're not going to look at their neighbor and say this neighbor is going to lie.
	Have considered the real point of what they're doing here, which is, I mean, these farmers don't need as much land as they have, because we know from the theories of Comrade Lysenko, if you put all the seeds together...
	Plant them closer, they're cooperative, yeah.
	You also have to put communist music.
	The crops have to listen to Mao speaking.
	I think you've hit on a real point there, Stelios.
	Finally I'll be able to sit down and go, thank God I'm not envious of those goddamn rich farmers.
	Because obviously I spent all day every day grinding my teeth about the bloody wealth of farmers.
	If you are a person who does that, you have no right to be anywhere near government.
	So yeah, they said that there's just going to be no change to this, no mitigations to the policy.
	We're going to take your farms, basically, is what they've said.
	And so the Country and Land Business Association did an analysis on this.
	I'm like, right, so the average family farm would have to spend 159% of its profits for a decade to pay this inheritance tax, right?
	So here are some numbers.
	So a typical 200-acre farm owned by one person, which would cost more than a million pounds, the 2.2 million farm, makes an expected profit of £27,300 a year.
	£27,000?
	Are you kidding me?
	I wouldn't do farming for £27,000.
	That's not a lot of money.
	27,000 too many.
	That's 10 grand less.
	That's about 10 grand less than the average wage in this country.
	It depends on how you slice it, but yeah, it's probably 28, I think, is the average.
	Perhaps I'm thinking median.
	Yeah, maybe, yeah.
	Calculate it.
	But the point is, these farmers aren't walking around swaggering around their farms with pockets full of gold, right?
	This is a low margin.
	Against this, I have seen some of the most disgusting, dehumanising, targeted propaganda from disgusting Twitter accounts, one of which I saw posting, well, have you ever seen a poor farmer?
	Terry Christian.
	Yep.
	The insufferable, screeching...
	I'm not even going to carry on.
	Have you ever seen a poor farmer?
	Well, I mean, I don't know how you're defining poor, but if I was only earning 27 grand a year, I'd consider myself fairly poor.
	Again, they own assets which have been passed down to them often through generations and generations and generations, and in terms of the actual liquid cash that they have, they are poorer than many people.
	The point being, they can't pay 159% of their profits for 10 years to pay off the government's inheritance tax, the 435,000 that this person would have to pay.
	They can't pay it, the government...
	I assume the government...
	It's entirely possible our low IQ government has no idea how per capita works.
	Do you think David Lammy could understand?
	If you presented him the concept...
	I don't think Rachel Reeves could understand.
	Listen, David, this is per capita, but this number's bigger than this number.
	Honestly, I think Rachel Reeves is currently doing that right now.
	She says, yeah, but it's worth two million.
	It's like, no, no.
	Okay, forget it.
	Forget it.
	And so, yeah, to be able to pay this, they would have to sell at least a fifth of their land, which, of course, is going to reduce the amount they could potentially earn per year.
	So if you're going to reduce the land by a fifth, it's fairly reasonable to expect that you'd be reducing your profits by a fifth.
	So now you're, what, you're getting about 20 grand a year?
	Something like 21 grand a year?
	Something like that?
	What are you doing?
	I have an idea of what they're doing because, you know, it's no secret that these are globalist communist policies behind it.
	Well, the globalist communist policies are redistributive policies.
	So they say we have wealth, we have the have-nots and the haves.
	We have the rich and the poor.
	And when they're talking about taking from the rich and give to the poor, they don't mean taking from the English rich and give them to the poor.
	English.
	They say taking from the world's rich and give it to the world's poor.
	So according to their own criteria, people who get 27,000 a year are very rich.
	Because there are people in other places in the world who make one or two dollars a day.
	So that's exactly the rationale behind it.
	Almost everyone right now is rich in the eyes of the government.
	So we just need to continue funding an infinite unsustainable population explosion in Africa forever.
	Yeah, because there are no limiting principles.
	In this strategy of redistribution.
	There's also a moral imperative regarding things like rewilding as well.
	So they think they've got an environmental edge on this too.
	So they say, oh yeah, we'll take it away from the farms and then we'll just leave it as wild land.
	And they go, do you know what this farmland needs?
	Wolves.
	Yeah, brilliant.
	And, you know, I might actually accept that, but they wouldn't let me then go out and hunt the wolves.
	Yeah, could I get a shotgun?
	You know, could I get a gun and shoot some wolves?
	No, you've just got to look at the wolves until they eat you.
	Yeah, basically.
	Thank you, kid.
	So anyway, the point being is the government is doing everything in their power to destroy, like, small British farmers, right?
	Right.
	The working families who actually own the land have cultivated the land and the reason if you look at the patchwork of England right England for about at least 800 years has had a very active land market right unlike most other places where you've had peasant holdings England we had private holdings right so we have this is what the yeoman farm was he's a man who could purchase land and sell that and so if you look at the Countryside of England.
	It's a patchwork of strange, like, you know, negotiated settlements that have built up over the centuries.
	And what they're basically doing is saying, no, that's got to go, right?
	The way that the English have made and crafted England little by little over the generations, we're just going to format it into giant square farms that are going to be owned by foreign multinationals.
	That is atrocious to me.
	I hate the very notion of it.
	I'm so glad that there is going to be a massive protest about this.
	So like I said, this is going to be 11am on November 19th, with speakers from across agriculture, TV and politics.
	There'll be speeches, a procession to Parliament Square, and there'll be lots of people who are, of course, Making their voices heard.
	And like I said, I'm going to be going down there with a camera, with a microphone, to interview people.
	Why are you here?
	What are your concerns for the future?
	Etc, etc.
	I want to know what these people are thinking and whether it lines up with what I think.
	Because I'm not a farmer, but looking at this from the outside, I'm just like, right, this...
	Jeremy Clarkson isn't over-ecking at saying, well, isn't this like an ethnic cleansing of the English countryside?
	Because it kind of looks like it might be.
	So anyway, The government's like, well, okay, technically you can protest, but if you block the roads, oh, you're in trouble.
	Don't you dare block those roads, because then we're going to arrest you so that what they're worried about is something like the truckers' protest in Canada, or the farmers' protest in the Netherlands, or the farmers' protest in France.
	And they're looking to deal with it with the same tactics they used for the protests earlier on this year after Southport, meaning that, well, if there's 20,000 of you on the street, well, we may not have those spaces in prison right now, but you'll be damn sure we can release 20,000 murderers to make way for you.
	Don't get me wrong, I'm expecting everyone, of course, to be calm, polite, lawful, orderly, obviously.
	So am I. So I'm not worried about...
	That won't stop them.
	Yeah, that's not going to stop them.
	That's literally not going to stop them.
	We got footage of the police literally just picking up people off the street who were standing near the protest.
	Yeah, there was one guy who was just shouting at the police.
	Okay, but I'm allowed to shout.
	What are you talking about?
	Anyway, so yeah, if they block the roads, they're going to be facing the Powers of the Highways Act in 1980, which makes it unlawful to obstruct any of the roads, and of course they've just banned the tractors flat up.
	You're not allowed to bring tractors here.
	If you bring tractors, we are going to arrest you, says the British government.
	So anyway.
	And look at this number one on must-read in politics on the bar there.
	Rachel Reeves handed major sec back as UK growth slumps.
	Who could have Who could have predicted that?
	She looks like a HSBC bank clerk, doesn't she?
	Yeah, like a salesperson.
	Yeah, she just doesn't look like she should be what she is.
	Noted economist Rachel Reeves causes growth slump in the UK. Incredible.
	Amazing.
	Not at all like, you know, with a mini-budget that was actually quite economically sound, which crashed the economy.
	Chris, what's this one about Angela Rayner sparking through from locals?
	Season control of 8,400 home town.
	That'll be for next week.
	Yeah, that'll be for next week, where the Labour Party are continuing to steal everything the English own.
	But anyway, so I'll see you on Tuesday, folks.
	Hiroshi Band says, so when farmers sell their land to pay inheritance tax, you still pay tax on the sale too, don't you?
	I'm not sure.
	Yeah, of course you pay tax on the sale.
	You pay tax on everything.
	It's a shock that the government haven't started implementing a breathing tax because you're expelling carbon into the atmosphere.
	Don't say it.
	Don't say it.
	They're now going to do it.
	Every tax is a breathing tax.
	Yeah.
	M. Denton says, existential threats and humiliation, it all seems worse than being conquered.
	Well, we are being conquered.
	By globalism, that's the problem.
	If I were reading these stories in a history book, I would have already expected a revolution.
	Matt says, What will it take for Prime Minister if Jeremy Clarkson happens?
	I really need to show Clarkson's kingdom in my life.
	Yeah, now, all I'm saying is the next season of Clarkson's Farm, it's going to be banging.
	You might be in it.
	I know, it'd be great.
	You know, um...
	Nigel Farage, Jeremy Clarkson.
	I'll be trying to interview as many people as I can on Tuesday, so make sure you're down there.
	If you're a farmer watching this, by the way, come over and say hi.
	Because like I said, I'm not engaged in the farmer community.
	I'm a townsman.
	But I'm very sympathetic.
	Rhys says, but we need to pave over the countryside to build five Birmingham-sized favela cities to accommodate our infinity migrant overlords, bigot.
	Good point.
	I wasn't considering that.
	And Ryan says, I feel totally black-pilled after today's show.
	When will things change to the better?
	They'll change to the better when we get to Lads Hour about an hour from now.
	We'll be watching The View and how they're coping and seething over Donald Trump's victory.
	So at least things are getting better for the Americans.
	Things in Britain currently still suck.
	Alright then, with that let's go into the video comments.
	How many video comments?
	No video comments.
	Why?
	Straight to the normal comments in that case, the written ones on the website.
	So, Russian Garbage Human starts us off with a compliment for you, Samson, saying, still chuckling at the thumbnail.
	I haven't even seen the thumbnail.
	Have you not seen the thumbnail?
	Get the thumbnail up on the screen for us there, Samson.
	Oh, sorry, I can see it there, actually.
	Oh yeah, yeah, you can see it directly.
	Jeremy Clarkson throwing Don Lemon off a bridge.
	Off Clifton Suspect.
	Off Clifton Suspect.
	And X is in the sky watching like Big Brother.
	I appreciate Lady Dragonhawk though.
	Carl, your tie is wonderful.
	Don't listen to the naysayers.
	My wife is among the primary of the naysayers with this tie.
	She doesn't like the fact that I'm wearing it with a sort of reddish...
	There were murmurings in the office.
	Personally, I think he's getting into the Christmas spirit with that colour scheme.
	I appreciate that, Lady Dragonhawk.
	I like it.
	So I'm going to wear it.
	Do you want to read some of yours, Stelios?
	Yeah.
	Okay, so Stelius' Greek yogurt.
	People need to realize that Twitter isn't an airport.
	You don't need to announce when you're leaving.
	The fact so many of them do, this just shows how large their egos are.
	It really is about an ego battle on Twitter, though, isn't it?
	I think it might also be a ploy.
	They're really hoping there'll be an influx of support in the replies saying, no, don't leave, we want you, we love your takes, please, we can't live without you.
	So they'll be able to turn around in 29 days' time and say, well, through popular demand, I have returned.
	To be fair, if I left, I would also like to announce it.
	Just, you know, as an F you to people from the other side who wouldn't want me to announce it.
	You're a flamboyant contrarian.
	Colin P. Leftists, leave X. And once again, nothing of value was lost.
	Yeah, but the point is they're gonna return.
	Derek Power.
	Regarding the great ex Twitter exodus, that crowd forgets they carry their misery.
	Going to Blue Sky or Threads will not change this.
	If those places end up becoming toxic and they want to look for something responsible, they only need to look into a mirror, presuming they can see reflections.
	Remember, they view toxicity as any right-wing opinion.
	Yeah.
	So, Blue Sky and Threads probably won't become toxic, because why would you use those if you could use Twitter?
	I think Twitter's going to improve now, when they're gone.
	Yeah, probably.
	Do you remember the first time this happened when Elon first took over and they all went over to that website Mastodon?
	Yeah.
	And it turned out that Mastodon was this weird, decentralized social media hosted in Japan.
	It has literally no moderation whatsoever.
	It has no moderation, so it was filled with child porn.
	And Nazis as well.
	Yeah.
	So all I'm saying is maybe Stephen King leaving Twitter hopes he can find a similar experience elsewhere.
	Remember when Elon Musk took over Twitter and the first thing he did was get rid of all the child porn?
	And then all the leftists left.
	Yeah, and then they're like, well, I can't stay here.
	Right, so this is a comment from Sophie Liv, so we'll be extra careful with respect to how I read it.
	I feel your pain, Carl.
	Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors of all time, but dear God, is he insufferable.
	Yeah, there are loads.
	It's crazy how many, like...
	Great artists turn out to be vapid, brain-dead shitlibs.
	Yeah, but I mean, this is a testament to our magnanimity, though.
	Because we can appreciate when other people, people from the other side, do good art.
	Sure.
	We can do that.
	We're not just constantly screaming, okay, you're from the other side, so I don't like your art.
	See, there's a problem here, which is I have really enjoyed some of Neil Gaiman's work in the past.
	I read a few years ago, back in, oh god, 2017, I read American Gods in a Few Days, which is quite a thick book, but I was enjoying it so much, and I've read through all of The Sandman, his old comic book series, but I'm deathly afraid to return to them, because I'm afraid I might open it up, get to the end and go, it was shit.
	It was shit the whole time!
	You're going to have Harry, Harry the Magnanimous, Harry the Merciful.
	It's been the experience that I've had going back over so many comics doing Comics Corner with Connor, which is that all of these comics I read as a teenager, which I thought were amazing, like Batman, Arkham Asylum, and we've not got to Watchmen yet, but we will get to Watchmen soon.
	I've gone back, read through it and gone, it's crap.
	Kingdom Come.
	Oh, I remember this one being great.
	The artwork's painted.
	It's amazing.
	Oh, it's crap.
	On the plus side though, Rorschach is clearly the hero of Watchmen.
	Well yeah, you can turn Watchmen into a fantastic story if you read it opposite to how Alan Moore wanted you to.
	Matthew Hammond says, How long do you think Blue Sky will last before the leftist purity spiralling starts or it runs out of money?
	I don't think they'll stick around mainly because it'll be boring.
	Again, they really love the humiliation on Twitter.
	They also like to flex, right?
	And so what they like is, you know, I have a post with loads and loads of views and loads of likes.
	Suck it, chuds.
	And you can't do that if they're not around.
	I think they'll do what Anne Applebaum tried to do to me.
	But you had an interaction with Anne Applebaum?
	Well, what happened?
	She posted something, I replied, and three seconds afterwards, no one else, she deleted the reply thing.
	But I managed to reply.
	You managed to get in there.
	She locked the replies.
	Yes, so what they're going to do, they'll come back and probably they'll lock the replies.
	Again, what you were saying though, Anne Applebaum, I can appreciate, I listened to the audio book, Red Famine.
	That was a good history.
	I think in the second studio we've got one of her books on the gulag.
	So she's got some good history books, but she's an insufferable shit.
	There are several authors like that.
	Also, Timothy Snyder, I think when he sticks to history, he's really good.
	The whole point is, whenever they're talking about current affairs, They haven't asked themselves, wait a minute, are the Democrats worse at what I'm accusing the Republicans of doing?
	That's the question they're...
	Oh, sorry, Carl, you've just reminded me of Tom Holland, that one tweet from 2015 responding about the grooming gangs where he was saying, sadly, it was just a necessary sacrifice for multiculturalism.
	What, Tom?
	Yeah.
	And his history books are superb.
	Yeah, they are.
	It's crazy.
	It's absolutely crazy.
	And Anonymy, rumors are that the old advertisers want to come back, especially since Trump won.
	Disney already advertises through another company.
	These creatures leaving is a ploy to stop the advertisers returning.
	They do not have thoughts of their own.
	They only follow stimuli.
	I don't think they've thought it through that much.
	I think they've just gone, oh, evil nasty racists on Twitter now.
	I can't be here.
	Especially with Donald Trump.
	Not when we're entering a new era of fascism in the United States.
	They couldn't rotate the onion in their minds.
	In their defense, it is true that there's a lot more loose language on Twitter that...
	Possibly you shouldn't be able to get away with it.
	Really, you shouldn't be saying the N-word.
	I hate to be the sort of party pooper on that.
	You!
	You!
	Yeah, I know.
	Carl the Elder.
	The prudent elder.
	It would be nice to clean it up a little bit.
	You don't have to ban people.
	Just, you know, they probably shouldn't...
	Shadow ban them.
	Not necessarily shadow ban them.
	Just, you know, delete the tweet or something.
	So, you know, you've got a bot that...
	Scans for the N-word and then delete it.
	I don't know.
	Something like that.
	But give them a warning or something like that.
	I don't know.
	They already do that.
	They already have, if you put a slur in, they have a box that comes up.
	There are a few accounts like...
	Oh, God.
	What was his name?
	The...
	I've forgotten his name all of a sudden.
	The guy they all hate.
	The Manosphere guy.
	Andrew Tate?
	Andrew Tate.
	Andrew Tate and a number of other accounts seem to have special privileges on their account where they can post slurs and not get a warning.
	If I were to post the N-word on Twitter, it would come up with a box that says, this tweet displays hateful content, are you sure you want to view it?
	And then click show.
	And then you see what it is.
	Okay, fair enough.
	The point being, there's nothing wrong with, like, saying, look, we want to be a bit more family-friendly with the language we're using, just have a bit of a higher quality, but, like, I don't know.
	Twitter is not never will be family-friendly.
	I'm not saying it should be, like, for kids or anything, but, like, you know, having a more sort of higher decorum, standard decorum.
	I don't think it's going to happen.
	No, Twitter is a cesspool, and part of the fun is that it's a cesspool.
	I'll read through some of my comments now.
	Captain Charlie the Beagle.
	Regarding the government bussing large amounts of migrants into small towns, it gets even more egregious when you remember there are about 15,000 people homeless or in emergency accommodation.
	Of these, 4,000 are children.
	This isn't counting the thousands of adults living with their parents, as they can't find a place to live or have left home.
	Yeah, this was one of the problems that was pointed out in the article I was looking at regarding Ireland.
	A lot of the protesters were saying, right, if we can build accommodation for these migrants, we've got 4,000 children on the streets.
	Why can't we do the same thing for us?
	Because it's amazing how there's endless pits of money for the migrants.
	Endless money can be printed for foreigners, but when it's natives...
	Sorry guys, we're all of a sudden hardened Randians.
	Yeah, it just doesn't occur to them.
	You've just got to make it on your own.
	If you don't make it on your own, then I'm sorry, that's the free market in action.
	It's a disgusting double standard.
	Roman Observer: "Well Carl, maybe the government is doing such a poor job with immigration and security exactly because they want us to desperately demand for a reduction of freedoms.
	4G- 4D chess level of smart, or they are just evil and incompetent?" I think evil and incompetent in that they're not playing 4D chess And also, people in response to these problems with immigration and security aren't actually demanding less freedoms.
	They're demanding the freedom to have their country back and make the protests and political action necessary to get their country back.
	And you're getting less freedoms whether you demand it or not.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Nobody in Britain, at least, is demanding less freedoms in response to a government-created problem.
	They're not going, government, you've created this problem, solve it for me.
	That's not what's happening.
	Russian Garbage Human saying, I know all Tringham well.
	There are two all-girls schools within walking distance and a primary school.
	This is a disaster.
	I hope you guys show a video of angry locals in the church.
	Well, we did, so there you go.
	Calm Rob.
	I assume getting less calm by the day.
	In Dartford, we had a children's immigrant centre just open up right next to the Central Park and round the corner from a primary school.
	Utter joke that we have to put up with this up and down the country.
	It is an utter joke.
	Then Scotty of Swindon.
	After I left the police, I went to the job centre on Princes Street, Swindon to ask for a job seeker's allowance while I was looking for a new job.
	I received two letters on the same day.
	My claim had been approved and subsequently that my claim had been rejected because I hadn't paid enough into the system via tax over a period of ten years.
	Glad to see the benefits are going towards these fine Albanian gentlemen instead.
	Yes.
	Ross Diggle.
	It's worse than private healthcare.
	It's go-to-doc.
	It's the NHS out-of-hours service that pays for generally foreign GPs to come and work the shifts to then refer onto the NHS. So we're overpaying yet again for them to come to use the same service.
	If that is true, that's even more ridiculous because that adds even more incentive to say, well, we need them to come in because they're the only ones filling the roles, so we need more foreigners to look after the foreigners because the foreigners are the only ones who will be GPs, but the only people these GPs will look after are also foreigners.
	And this is entirely the justification for bringing in so many foreign doctors and nurses anyway.
	It's like, well, we need people to look.
	There's so much demand to say, yeah, because you keep bringing people bloody in.
	Yeah, we're not going to get through the backlog if we don't have all of these foreign doctors.
	I saw Victoria Derbyshire had posted on Twitter yesterday.
	Aha!
	The backlog of NHS waiting times has gone down by 100,000.
	It's gone from 7.6 million to 7.5 million.
	It's like, oh, incredible.
	Great job.
	Finally.
	Henry Ashman, the government of Keir Starmer, who has gone on record to say he wouldn't even get private healthcare for his own mother if she was on an NHS waiting list which was too long, are going to pay for private healthcare or for whatever random invader arrived in the UK yesterday, or at least they're going to be paying for this out of hours service, which either way will cost the natives more of their own tax, which is already extraordinarily high.
	Don't we have one of the largest tax burdens in all of Europe?
	Yeah.
	And that's when we've got Norway and Sweden across the North Sea from us.
	Yeah, I think they're probably the only places to have slightly higher than us, but ours is unbelievable.
	And, yeah, exactly.
	Keir Starmer, interesting, yeah.
	No, I'd let my mother die, but I'm not going to let Abdul die.
	He's from Eritrea.
	He was persecuted.
	His mother was tortured and beaten to death, probably.
	So my mum can just wait.
	Yep.
	Omar Awad, the thing to remember about Ethiopia is that what makes it a terrible place is Ethiopians.
	Same for most foreign countries.
	No, no, no.
	You forget, if we play it like a strategy game, and we're the big hand of God, and we just...
	Plop them over here, then all of a sudden their stats will change, the magic soil will take effect, their temperament and other stats will all shift to being British, and then, you know, we won't have Ethiopia over here, we'll just have some different looking Brits.
	You've seen the Stellaris meme going around, right?
	No, I haven't.
	So Stellaris is a very complex 4x space strategy game.
	And apparently it's true to life, too, because this guy had posted on 4chan or something, like, I sent a load of low-quality immigrants, refugees, to my enemy's star systems, and now their economies are tanking.
	If you got the people who designed those kinds of games to run the economy and run the country, it would probably be better, because they seem to take a lot more of this stuff into account than our governments.
	The current models that our government use.
	Then again, you see those guys where it's a guy playing GeoGuessr, who's got so good at it, he can literally look at a blue sky and pretty accurately figure out where he is.
	And you look at him and you go, you've sat down there for years at this point, Getting to know the precise kind of identifiers of every bit of geography across the whole world to find out.
	You should be administering a colonial empire.
	You should not be sat, or at least you should be head of some government department that does useful things.
	Instead, because of the way the world works right now, you're sat at home playing GeoGuessr.
	Charlie says...
	Sorry, I was sent for your segment.
	I was just sent something to say that the Met Police had this announcement.
	Oh, okay.
	Good to know.
	There's no ban on tractors.
	But they will still arrest you if you block the road with them.
	Yeah, they will, of course, still arrest you, but they're not banning your tractors.
	I assume they're going to impound your tractor.
	I was going to say, if anything, yeah, getting a hold of the tractors will be an even better thing.
	You're going to have Euler's penalty.
	My advice is not take your tractor.
	Half your inheritance.
	I mean, those tractors are expensive as well.
	Although, to be fair to Clarkson, he did buy a Lamborghini tractor.
	Probably don't have to buy that particular tractor.
	Anyway, Charlie says, regarding the farmers in Ulster signing the petition, you know things are bad when nationalist and unionist farmers are joining together.
	Yeah, that's a great point.
	Russian again says, Yeah, the very first time Altrincham voted Labour, you need to know, Altrincham has been gentrified in the last decade.
	The schools in Altrincham are some of the best in the country, so a huge amount of Indians and Pakistanis have brought up property to price out the white English school in the catchment postcodes.
	Interesting.
	You shouldn't allow foreign nationals to buy property in the UK.
	No, it just shouldn't be...
	I mean, it's not...
	Again, it's not even a controversial thing to say that foreigners shouldn't be allowed to buy up our country.
	Yeah, I mean, that was a Thatcher thing.
	Let's just open it up to the global markets.
	Look how well that went.
	Yeah, I mean, at the moment, literally, more Indians own property in London than English people.
	That's literally the case at the moment.
	And it's like, okay, but why are we dispossessing ourselves of our own country?
	Like, why are we doing this?
	I actually don't care enough about the free market and the integrity of the free market to make sure that my children and grandchildren own nothing.
	Well, people say that free market capitalism is what made America great, Which, kind of, but in the 19th century what they had was protectionist internal domestic free markets where the states could all interact with one another like that, but also any foreign nation was basically barred from it, which is what built up their industry, particularly in the North.
	Well, it's the same Britain.
	The British Empire was a giant protectionist bloc, which we should read...
	You know, we literally gave up the empire for the NHS. Literally the exchange we made.
	Wasn't worth it.
	Don't remind me.
	Chase says, that tree of liberty is looking awfully thirsty, isn't it?
	For legal reasons, I cannot comment on that.
	Henry says...
	150 grand cow.
	I hope it shits gold.
	This cow fries itself.
	I mean...
	God damn, man.
	Factoring in standard inflation alone, that's £2,700, £27,000 today.
	So between 4 and 370 cows and nothing else would be enough to tip you over.
	Yeah, but this is the thing, though.
	It's like...
	Again, can you imagine doing all this and being like, yeah, I made £27,000 this year?
	It's a lot of effort.
	But they do it because it's part of their family traditions.
	It's been passed down to them.
	Somebody has to do it.
	And I imagine they enjoy it.
	It's probably a nice active lifestyle.
	It's probably fun to do.
	And that's, again, Clarkson's farm.
	You see how he kind of forms a bond with the animals.
	He enjoys having certain herds that he can tend to and look after, and then give to a butcher.
	Oh yeah, I can imagine it's incredibly satisfying.
	But Clarkson seems to be genuinely enjoying it.
	Like, no, I have a project.
	I can turn this bit of land into something really productive and cultivate it.
	He's doing what all gentlemen around his age, when they're starting to get into retirement age, should do, which is projects.
	Although farming is not going to be most people's.
	But this is a really advanced form of gardening.
	I have nice hyacinths.
	My dad's in his 70s.
	He loves gardening.
	He's loved gardening for a while, but particularly now he's retired.
	Clarkson's gardening at scale.
	Which is fine.
	It's totally wholesome.
	I like seeing it.
	I just can't believe we're actually at the point where we've got a communist government that's actively persecuting us.
	Segments of the population.
	That's their power.
	They're convincing you that they didn't exist.
	And that the mentality of people who say it can't happen here.
	I'll be fair, we all criticised him at the time.
	Peter Hitchens went out of his way to say, you do not understand how radical these people are.
	Well, I personally did understand, because I'd read all his books.
	But he is right, the majority of the population just assumed it was going to be basically the Conservatives, but in red.
	Or just Blair again.
	Yeah, which is the Conservatives, but in red.
	Yeah, but is it wrong to say that it was the same policy, the same policy is just faster?
	Yeah, but this is a way more radical policy.
	Yeah, but what did the Conservatives do that suggested any kind of erecting a barrier to, let's say, the disintegration of the country?
	Because I hear a lot of people say this, and personally, I respect Peter Hitchens.
	I think he was wrong on several stuff, but I was never impolite.
	I think his mistake was not trying to endorse something like reform, instead of just saying, just go back to the Conservatives when that was obviously a losing tactic.
	Yeah, but that's what I want to say, because a lot of people now say, okay, Peter Hitchens warned you.
	Most people understood that he was correct on this.
	But the point is that people who voted for reform, for instance, they knew that labor was going to be bad.
	I mean, everyone did know.
	I guess...
	It's more like the idea that there is a necessary stage of purification on the, let's say, conservative sphere.
	Yeah, that's totally true.
	Diogeny says, just call the stop oil people to protest the tractors and they'll block the roads for the farmers.
	Good point.
	And...
	Sauron says, they're trying the great leap forward in the UK, but instead of nationalising everything, it'll be owned by the BR? BlackRock.
	BlackRock, yeah.
	And other WEF front companies.
	Hopefully Trump can bully them into stopping come January.
	Well, he's our hope at this point.
	Yeah, he's the only hope we have.
	I mean, assuming...
	Like, I assume Jeremy Clarkson is probably going to be like, I really don't approve of this, and then not do anything, right?
	Because, obviously, Jeremy Clarkson actually, like, you know when Nigel Fry was like, well, I had a very comfy job, I didn't want to do this.
	Yeah, okay, nice, but you know you did want to do it, right?
	We all know you did want to.
	Which is totally fine, and I wanted you to become an MP. It's totally fine.
	But Clarkson actually doesn't want to do this.
	Clarkson actually does have a really lovely non-political job.
	He's never been involved in politics.
	He's never stood as an MP, as far as I'm aware.
	He's not a politician, and Pericles' dictum has arrived.
	No, you might not be interested in politics, but politics is very interested in you.
	It's also Plato.
	We need to make him philosopher king.
	Exactly.
	What you're playing into there again is the hero's journey.
	It very much is.
	It very much is the hero's journey.
	And the thing is, Clarkson is going to do everything he can to resist this.
	It's being foist upon him.
	It is.
	I totally agree.
	I totally agree.
	I say that as a good thing.
	If ever there was a British Trump, it's going to look like Jeremy Clarkson.
	Right.
	That's the British Trump.
	And again, in fact, when you look, I don't know why we never made the comparison before, but you look at them side by side, yeah, they've been on TV for years, they've been really popular figures for years, and then suddenly they're like, no, I've got to save my country from the communists.
	I mean, yeah, Jeremy Clarkson is the British Trump, if he does it, but I can honestly see a future where Jeremy Clarkson's like, yeah, I'm just not going to bother, I'm 64, I'm going to sell up and just move.
	I could see it, and it's just like, Christ, we're screwed.
	I hope that's not the case, because Jeremy Clarkson, if nothing else, does seem to have quite a lot of drive to him.
	Yeah, true.
	I mean, even just some of the things that he did when he was doing the old Top Gear and Grand Tour specials, which are done now.
	He's pushed himself a lot, especially for a man in his health for most of his adult life, in the shape that he's in.
	Yeah, but he just doesn't seem to have any interest in doing anything political.
	So I think it'd be a huge step to get him to do this.
	Honestly, I'm having trouble envisaging it, which bothers me because we literally have no one else.
	Well, we've got Trump.
	Yeah, well, they have Trump.
	We don't have anyone else.
	No, no, we've potentially got Trump to try and exert pressure on Britain.
	Unless, like Morgoth says, we'd just become woke North Korea.
	I think that's more likely.
	Although, at the same time, I have seen, even today, earlier on, on LBC, James O'Gammon was interviewing Sadiq Khan, who was making very conciliatory gestures to Donald Trump.
	Good.
	At least they're afraid.
	They're going to try and take a different tact with him this time.
	Actually, maybe Donald Trump isn't as much of a racist as I thought.
	Literally.
	O'Brien was grilling him, saying, like, but you've called him racist, you've called him a fascist, but now you're extending a welcome hand and support.
	And Sadiq Khan was going like, well, you know, they're our greatest ally, and we've got to approach it the same way that we would a best friend.
	You have laxer standards for best friends.
	Even if they get taken over by Hitler, you've still got to be like, well, you know, they're our closest ally.
	And last one, binary server saying, I had no idea Carl was colourblind.
	I'm not, I'm just really eccentric.
	I have lovely tastes and colours.
	There you go.
	And with that, I think that's when we should call it.
	So join us in about half an hour if you're subscribed to the website, which you should be.
	You know what's going to happen if you're not.
	And we'll be talking about The View on Lads Hour.
	Till then...
	We're watching it.
	It's going to be so...
	Oh yeah, we're going to be watching The View on Lads Hour.
	So that should be fun.
	That should be interesting.
	Watch Stelios, Bo, and I get tortured for a little bit.
	Anyway, enjoy your weekend.
	See you next week, folks.
