	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1058 for the 6th of December 2024.
	I'm your host Connor, joined by Carl and Stelios.
	Hello everyone.
	Today we're going to be discussing the dire demographic revelations by the ONS, Ireland's disastrous elections, and the cancellation of Greg Wallace.
	Now you might be wondering, it's a Friday, what's Connor doing here?
	That's because I'm hosting Lads Hour this week, and at 3 o'clock we're going to be discussing Pirates of the Caribbean.
	I've been teasing this one for a while.
	One of, if not my favourite movie trilogy of all time, and we've got some esoteric takes on it, so it's going to be a lot of fun.
	So, it's great.
	And don't go wrong, I like Pirates of the Caribbean as much as anyone else, but...
	I don't think you like it as much as me.
	No, probably not.
	So, we're going to be doing that at 3 o'clock.
	If you're not a subscriber to the website, you won't be able to watch it, so you've still got time to subscribe, to watch live, and then we'll be reading your comments after we give our very contentious takes.
	And that will be with Josh, Harry, Rory, and Luca when he gets here.
	So, without further ado, we'll get into today's news.
	So, the ONS has revealed the most popular baby names in England and Wales in the last year.
	It's Mohammed.
	Right.
	Is it not Alistair?
	No, it's not Noah.
	It's not John.
	It's not Arthur.
	Luca, Theodore, Oscar, Henry.
	Axel fell out of the top 100 this year, for obvious reasons.
	Oh yeah, I bet it is.
	Yeah, but Muhammad has risen up to the number one for obvious reasons.
	Now people were pointing out, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a minute.
	The only reason Muhammad is the most popular baby name, actually, is because the English have so many other names.
	Yeah, I don't want anyone in the country who is inclined to name their child after the Prophet Muhammad, given what he did.
	So the problem is that any of them are here in the first place.
	And Bodhi also entered the top 100. Classic British name.
	Bodhi?
	Yeah.
	Very odd.
	I mean, the ONS have put up some graphics here that really illustrate the situation.
	Raya and Margot have moved up because people name their children rapidly after pop culture references.
	And Margot Robbie.
	Yeah, that's exactly why.
	So, just to get this, I tweeted this out and just reminded everyone that if you're concerned about cultural change, which a nation full of Mohammeds denotes, because I don't think all these Mohammeds are abiding by British values...
	Excuse me for my scepticism.
	If you're concerned about that cultural change, then you can't afford to ignore demographic change.
	And the ONS lays out this demographic change in pretty stark reality in some of its graphs and the like in here.
	There's figure four in here for a map of these names.
	We can see exactly who and where in the country are naming this.
	And what I found quite interesting, as you can see, so this is the one for girls, this is the one for boys.
	So if you zoom in, it's Manchester.
	What a surprise.
	Birmingham.
	Oh, no way.
	Oxford.
	Buckinghamshire.
	Not London.
	Not London.
	Well, you know what's interesting is that London is not actually the most concentrated place where Muslims in this country live.
	No.
	London is a kind of...
	I don't know how to describe it.
	It's kind of the vast cosmopolitan mix of all the globalist client groups.
	They all move back and forth through London, whereas we have colonies in these other areas from particular countries in the subcontinent.
	Can you go to Leeds Bradford?
	Bradford would be around Birmingham, wouldn't it?
	No, it's a bit to the right.
	Close to Leeds, I think.
	At least the one I have in mind.
	Where is it?
	I am bad with maps.
	Go for it.
	Leeds, right there.
	Leeds is up.
	Nottingham, shock.
	Sheffield, shock.
	Rotherham.
	Wakefield.
	It says Leeds.
	Yeah.
	So Noah.
	Oh, I saw Otto English, the most throbbing brain of British historians.
	Yes, unsurprisingly, Mohammed is the most popular name in Bradford.
	So what Otto English pointed out, aha, but did you know that Noah is also a Muslim prophet?
	So checkmate, bigots.
	It's like...
	Number one, Noah is not a prevalent name throughout the Muslim world.
	But also, if you're saying that the Muslims are also calling their kids Noah, well then, that doesn't change the problem at all.
	No, the problem's actually way worse.
	Yeah.
	Because Noah's number two.
	So, there you go.
	The three most popular names for baby girls in England and Wales were Olivia, Amelia, and Isla.
	Why do you think that is?
	Why are Muslims not having more baby girls?
	Well, I think that actually the issue is probably going to be about the concentration of the name Muhammad.
	Yes.
	Every other Muslim is called Muhammad.
	Yes, sure.
	Why is there not a high concentration of baby girl names?
	Well, I don't think Muslims just kill all the baby girls or anything.
	I remember in Lewisham they had to stop telling the sex at birth because of all the sex-selective abortions.
	Which Keir Starmer actually argued in favour of when he was a human rights lawyer.
	I think they've got a multiplicity of girl names.
	I might be wrong.
	Yeah, that's possible.
	What's interesting as well, sadly, is that this is highly concentrated in England because Mohammed is only the 63rd most popular baby name in Wales.
	Yeah, but that's been the case for immigration generally.
	I mean, this is just basically a map of immigration, as every map is just a map of immigration.
	No, honestly, there is the map.
	It's the demographic map, and that's all I love to be.
	But the immigration into Britain has just mostly been into England by a factor of like 10 to 1. It's been crazy.
	Now, this movement of Mohammed rocketing to the top space is not really much of a shock, because it was the second most popular name in 2022. And it's been on the list of the most popular names since 2016. It's been in the top ten.
	And why could this possibly be?
	Well, it might have something to do with the relative fertility rates, because this was late October.
	As I mentioned on my show, which you should be watching behind a paywall, self-promotion.
	The average total fertility rate is now the lowest in England and Wales since records began in 1938. So the total fertility rate in England and Wales is 1.44 children per woman in 2023. Bear in mind, the replacement level is 2.1 because you want a child per parent and then 0.1 is just in case, sadly, people die off.
	Turns out the total fertility rate hides two stats.
	The first is that total fertility rate is the average number of children per woman.
	Now, childlessness is what's driving this, because the majority of women now in the UK have reached 30 without having any children at all, despite the majority of them reporting wanting children, so that's a great personal tragedy.
	The problem is people aren't having fewer children per family, it's lots of people having no children, And some people are having lots of children.
	And who are the some people?
	Well, the breakdown isn't in here.
	But the breakdown does come later.
	Conor, I want to ask you something because I think that this is a pattern across Europe.
	When we see the very low, below-replacement birth rates, it isn't just native birth rates, it's just birth rates within that country.
	Yeah.
	Different demographics have more children than the native population.
	Yeah, so for instance, let's say if we are to take the English population, is it going to be less than 1.44?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Figures for 2022 showed the average fertility rate had declined to 1.49, so it's steadily falling, and to then 1.55 in 2021. That's despite mass immigration.
	Hmm.
	From countries with higher birth rates, so that means the native population is falling faster than the imported populations with higher birth rates.
	So that's what the number's concealing.
	I looked into this a few years ago, and the thing is, after something like two or three generations, the imported population, their birth rate declines as well, and so essentially the West is becoming a black hole for lineages.
	Yes, it's becoming a mouse utopia, where pretty much everyone is staying inside becoming a beautiful one and grooming themselves and gooning without actually reproducing.
	So, you know, grandmothers in India, just think about that.
	If you move to Britain, you're not going to get great-grandchildren.
	We haven't met the Republican congressman yet.
	From the ads.
	It's okay.
	I don't get this reference.
	You know, the ads.
	Oh, the one that materializes behind you.
	He manifests.
	He's my favorite character.
	Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?
	I'm in favor of him.
	Yes, quite.
	You asked for a demographic breakdown, Stelios.
	Here's something pretty shocking.
	Now, this is from Daily Mail reporting on The Daily Skeptic.
	In 2021, 74% of live births were to white British mothers.
	In 2023, it was 56%.
	That's an...
	Boris's bloody...
	Boris wave.
	Yeah.
	An 18% drop-off in live births to British mothers within two years.
	Thanks, Boris.
	I wonder where this nation of Mohammeds came from.
	Can't possibly work it out.
	We did have quarter of a million Indians in every bloody year.
	Yeah, that explains why Bodhi's just rocketed up the chart.
	So now, we've got another breakdown.
	Almost one in three babies in England and Wales were born to women from outside the UK. Now that isn't counting as well women who are second generation immigrants.
	So the number's even larger.
	So this is according to the ONS. 31.8% of live births in 2023 were to non-UK born mothers.
	A slight increase from 30.3% in 2022. Thank you Boris Wave.
	The proportion was also an increase from 26.5% a decade earlier after passing the quarter mark.
	25.1% in 2010.
	More than one-third, 37.3% of live births last year, were to parents where either one or both were born outside the UK.
	India remained the most common country for birth for non-UK-born mothers, 3.6% of all live births and 3.9% of fathers, with Pakistan remaining second.
	There is a league table here as well that I'll go down to.
	There's one thing I like to see is league tables.
	Yeah, so we've got India at the top, then Pakistan, then Romania, then Nigeria, then Poland, then Bangladesh, Albania, Afghanistan, Ghana, and the USA.
	Yeah, that's great.
	We've become a full-on nation of Indians under Rishi Sunak.
	Wonder why.
	Ghana entered the top ten most common countries for non-UK-born mothers the first time in 2023 in ninth place with 0.6% of life births.
	That pushed out Germany.
	Germans aren't having kids now.
	Why?
	Yeah.
	Greg Seeley, who's the head of population health monitoring at the ONS, a very sensible and impartial man in a neutral institution, said the data doesn't give you an accurate picture of a family's ethnicity or migration history.
	So what he's saying is way worse than what we're showing you.
	Yeah, he says almost a third of babies born in 2023 in England and Wales were born to non-UK women, a slight increase on the percentage in 2022. This is a continuation of the long-term trend of the percentage of live births to non-UK-born mothers generally increasing.
	As Kiyosama said, this isn't an accident.
	It's by design and it's a deliberate plan.
	An experiment.
	Yeah.
	I'm just going off what the Prime Minister says.
	Don't call me a conspiracy theorist.
	And he says, while our birth data shows us the parents' country of birth, it doesn't give us a picture of the family's ethnicity or migration history.
	And it's worth noting that not all women bored outside the UK will be recent immigrants.
	Oh, that's alright then.
	My country of Mohammeds is just as British as you and me.
	I hate this entire line.
	I mean, Alistair Campbell on Question Time yesterday, right?
	He was like, look, we shouldn't be judging them by our standards of what we consider British.
	And it's like, what do you mean, what we consider British?
	Every single one of these migrants, Alistair, is not British, by definition, because they are immigrants.
	Immigrants.
	They couldn't be immigrants if they were British.
	It's just so crazy.
	Here's the Mott and Bailey argument as well.
	Harrison Pitt, my co-host and deprogrammed, mentioned this to me yesterday.
	You know that, let's say, certain Welsh choir boys, when they argue that because they're born in Wales, they are Welsh, are not Welsh because Wales themselves will tell you they're Welsh because they feel the need to accommodate in the history curriculum retroactive black Britons being in there to represent them.
	So they're making the admission that they are set apart from the Welsh native population, otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to revise history to represent them.
	So which is it?
	Are they as Welsh as you and me because they're born in Wales or England?
	Or is it they're a separate ethnicity who requires representation to make them feel like they belong?
	The purpose of a system is what it does.
	Infinity migrants is the result, therefore infinity migrants is the point.
	The exact same thing is actually happening in Europe, Selyos, which you've mentioned.
	New data from the EU reveals that EU births have plunged to an all-time low.
	Just 3.6 million babies were born across the 27 nations in 2023. That's down 5.5% on 2022, which is the biggest percentage drop since records began.
	So we are, as you said, becoming just a demographic black hole.
	And there are several reasons for it.
	I won't take much time over your segment, but for instance, I'll just say about Greece.
	Greece is a very family-oriented society.
	We have close to 1.3 fertility rate.
	It isn't because people don't want to have family, although they do tend to postpone it a bit.
	It's mostly economic, but obviously it differs according to the country.
	Well, the funny thing is as well, it's not just economic, because as Paul Moreland, a very good demographer who's been on my show, has pointed out, the areas that have very low-income housing relative to your earnings, they're seeing similar falls in fertility.
	So it just seems like a complete crisis of faith in ourselves, and it's almost like the moment that you have to rationally plan a child in accordance with your...
	Economic or lifestyle goals.
	It becomes difficult to justify making those sacrifices if you've spent your entire life defining yourself as, like, a working, self-defining individual before it just sort of happened to people.
	I mean, about a third of the births in 19th century America were shotgun weddings.
	So...
	So what happened in about 1965?
	The birth control pill.
	That's correct.
	But if you look, the 1960s, the middle of the graph, that's also the oil shock.
	And that happened in Italy, Germany and Japan all around the same time.
	The graph just plummets off a cliff.
	In the 80s and moving onwards, birth control becomes very widely available.
	And the birth rate craters.
	In South Korea and Japan, though, birth control is not widely taken.
	So there are also other factors into this, but birth control does matter here.
	Gender relations are a problem.
	The other interesting question would be, why did it rise from 2000 to, let's say, 2008?
	No idea.
	But at the moment, the Greek total live births is half of what they were 50 years ago.
	It's catastrophic.
	Whereabouts is Hungary as well?
	Because Hungary is doing a lot better.
	Only a 2.2% fall.
	I mean, that is better, but look at that though.
	Yes.
	Even then, we can't seriously be looking at this and going, yes, Europe has a future.
	No, we're screwed.
	Well, it does have a future, it's just sourced in sub-Saharan Africa.
	Even then, like...
	They're going to have to get a lot of Africans.
	Yeah, that's the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plan.
	The study they published in The Lancet said by 2100 there's only going to be six countries on Earth, I think two in Asia and four in sub-Saharan Africa that have positive birth rates.
	So we'll just get our entire population from there.
	Was their very sensible conclusion.
	I mean, we've gone from roughly 900,000 to 750,000.
	I mean, that's bad, but it's not that bad.
	It's not grease levels.
	Yeah, but it craters around the early 2000s and then suddenly starts spiking up.
	What happened around the late 90s, early 2000s that could have caused this rebound?
	Great point.
	I wonder.
	The UK is the fastest falling one in the G7. So we're falling faster than Japan.
	Poland?
	Oh no, Poland's being liberalised.
	Yes.
	Oh no, bad luck Poland.
	You've got the European futures ahead of you.
	Sorry for the depressing segment, ladies and gents, but we do actually...
	That's crazy.
	Only five countries actually saw a...
	We want people to get it on, and they don't.
	Only five countries saw a total rise in...
	I've got loads of kids, trust me, it's good.
	I'm going to start.
	Only five nations saw a total rise in birth, so that's Malta, that's about 3.6%, Portugal 2.4%, Bulgaria 1.1%, Cyprus 1%, and Ireland 0.5%.
	Portugal playing the long game there.
	We're getting that empire back.
	Your demographics all collapse.
	Portugal's time to shine.
	The Irish famous for large families.
	Only 0.5%.
	And again, that might be something to do with...
	The new Irish.
	Yeah.
	Speaking of which, how come, as Stelios has said, to do with housing and economics, how come these people can afford to have kids?
	Because I keep hearing that they're...
	Funny that.
	Rupert Lowe, who again is doing the Lord's work.
	We are the Rupert Lowe fan club over at the Lotus Seaters.
	Good man.
	Since 2007-2008, because he put in a question in Parliament, he's using his daily allowance, to find out social housing by nationality.
	Since 2007-2008, 440,788 non-UK lead tenants accessed new social housing lettings.
	That's just crazy.
	How is it that half a million foreigners can get social housing paid for by me?
	Yeah.
	And someone has actually replied to him with the graphic from Neil O'Brien and Robert Jenrick's report, taking back control.
	This is from page 57. 72% of Somalians are just here at your expense.
	50% of other Africans.
	40% of Jamaicans.
	Why are there 30% of Turks in this country?
	Turkey's not some sort of third world country.
	Get a job!
	I think Stelios might disagree with you there.
	No comment.
	And the UK is around the middle of the pack.
	Notice that the Japanese don't even register.
	There's not a single Japanese person.
	Shockingly, the French and the Italians have a remarkably good work ethic.
	We've got, like, the neo-Hugonos.
	They are, in fact, sending the best.
	Yeah, yeah, we are actually getting the best of them.
	Well, it's because they're fleeing their own land, being absolutely deracinated by mass immigration, but there you go.
	I just never, like, the Germans being twice as lazy as the French on this one.
	What is going on?
	But what Germans?
	Well, probably German Germans, to be honest.
	Well, maybe, I don't know, yeah.
	With German passports.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Probably paper citizens.
	I don't see some people there.
	Which ones?
	No, it's okay.
	What, is the Greeks there?
	I just don't see us.
	No, that's impressive.
	I'm not paying your benefits, Stelios.
	I get the feeling there just aren't that many Greeks, to be honest.
	In England, I mean.
	I think we're half a million.
	Really?
	Yeah, yeah.
	God.
	Blimey.
	All right, then.
	Fair enough.
	Rupert Lowe got some more stats as well after this.
	The social housing stats are out.
	In 2023 to 2024, there were 33,075 non-UK-born lead tenants accessing new social housing listings.
	That also doesn't mean second generation, by the way, because we don't have the data on that yet.
	The year before, it was 26,222.
	Before that, it was 25,969.
	So that's...
	We allow this.
	That's gone up by 7,000 in a single year.
	It's just insufferable.
	You know, I just feel like getting a free house over in Spain.
	I've just decided.
	I just want the Spanish government to give me a house in Spain.
	Well, it will benefit their economy because they factor in state spending as a percentage of GDP. Well, there we go.
	The money they spend on foreign nationals.
	Imagine how good the books are going to look.
	The line is, in fact, going up.
	I'll have my Spanish villa now, thank you, paid for by the Spanish people.
	No, you're not poorer.
	Here's this spreadsheet.
	Don't you understand?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Trust the spreadsheet, bro.
	Yeah, and another Reform MP who's actually doing some good stuff as well is James McMurdoch.
	He just decided to share this map, created by Neil O'Brien, by the way.
	Social renting households were head of household was born outside the UK. Look at London.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's half of all London social housing goes to foreigners.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Just insane.
	It's just insane.
	This is totally unsustainable.
	We can't be paying for the world to come and live with us.
	This is mad.
	James is exactly right.
	Do you think this represents good governance?
	No.
	Ah, but have you not seen that Sunder Katwala, former head of the Fabian Society, by the way.
	Great squirrel of Britain.
	Yeah, untrustworthy socialist.
	You must control for citizenship here, James.
	Otherwise you're suggesting two-tier citizenship by birth or ethnicity and treating those who arrived in 1948, 1968, 1999, and those who become citizens after six years of new arrivals makes a dramatic difference to the percentage if you do that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I am actually.
	I am actually treating that as two-tier citizenship.
	I'm sorry, but your piece of paper means nothing to me, Sunder.
	Anyway, after all this frustration, I will...
	Especially as...
	I love this as a get out as well.
	It's like, right, the government is literally going to rubber stamp citizenship as quickly as they can for millions and millions of people.
	Like, in the last five years, it was six million people.
	Last year, it was one every 30 seconds.
	Yeah, it's just like, oh yeah, but you've got control for that.
	No, I don't.
	Okay, I really don't.
	These people are foreign-born people that our traitorous government has just allowed, has just literally said, no, we'll give you everything that the country has to offer, and we're going to pay for the privilege.
	I'm not going to get angry with that.
	So, you'd think that if we're battery-farming Mohammeds at my expense, that's not in exaggerations, literally government policies.
	Yeah, quite.
	Except we're getting nothing out of it.
	At least in the Matrix, they've got energy.
	What are we getting from it?
	Perhaps they might be grateful.
	Are they grateful for it, Ollie?
	Well, just to wind you up a little bit, The Spectator have done a review of a brand new play.
	This play is at the Royal Court, so pretty prestigious.
	It's titled Expendable.
	A Muslim playwright thinks Yorkshire is headed for civil war.
	Read Race War.
	I'll read you the synopsis.
	Yorkshire's headed for civil war and people are like, what?
	People in Yorkshire are like, what the hell's going on?
	Everyone's like, why would Yorkshire be headed for civil war?
	Oh no.
	Right, you want a civil war.
	It's not quite the War of the Roses.
	So the setting is a kitchen in Yorkshire where Zara, good British name, is trying to keep her family together after her son Raheel was outed as a rape suspect by a national newspaper.
	White thugs dump parcels of excrement on their porch and Zara cowers under the kitchen table, too scared to answer the door.
	The racists have mounted a mass demonstration supported by the police...
	Oh yeah.
	I love when you can just write fanfiction and get it written up in a national newspaper, which causes local bus services to be cancelled.
	Every Muslim in town is terrified of a white vigilante gang who recently targeted a blameless Yemeni prisoner and kicked him to death.
	It gets worse.
	Zahra and her daughter, Sophia, join a peaceful counter-demonstration.
	But the heavy-handed cops arrest ten innocent Muslims and charge them a violent disorder.
	Meanwhile, the white thugs are free to scrawl Rape Capital of the UK, must be in Rotherham, across the side of the local mosque.
	They then burn it to the ground.
	The useless cops arrest three of the white rioters as a token gesture.
	Sophia tells her mum she isn't going to apply to university because academia is full of right-wing extremists.
	What?
	I'll just let that sit for a moment.
	Bizarro world is she trying to construct it?
	There's a quote here from the play.
	A black man was stopped and searched on his way to uni and he was a lecturer.
	Oh yeah, and what, Prime Minister Tommy Robinson intervened?
	Yasmin discovers that Zara befriended a notorious child abuser named Sajid.
	Why?
	Weird how there are so many of them.
	Why did she want to, like, befriend that this is Tim Wall's strategy?
	I think of my friends as child abusers.
	What's your problem?
	She apparently paid him to refit her kitchen where he raped young girls and some Muslims too.
	What?
	What am I hearing?
	So, you might be asking this question.
	that the same reviewer from The Spectator, Lloyd Evans, says, it's impossible to make sense of this rambling balmy plot.
	But there's a fascinating message here.
	And read this in light of the increase in Mohammeds and the fact we're paying their social housing, right?
	Some Muslims believe that the media, police, and justice system are conspiring to make their lives hell.
	According to the playwright, this Yorkshire town is headed for a civil war between the Gora, white, community, and the Muslims.
	This vision of a Britain where law-abiding Muslims are hunted in the streets while English vigilantes commit arson and murder with impunity may not reflect facts on the ground...
	But this is how a Muslim dramatist sees our society, and she deserves attention.
	Insane paranoia.
	Yes.
	The problem is, though, the Home Office's Raikou department literally puts out reports that says the grooming gangs and two-tier policing are a right-wing conspiracy theory.
	So, this is the message being put out by the media.
	The government is doing the complete opposite, while also conducting an experimental open borders strategy...
	Of importing and battery farming Mohammeds.
	And these are the stories that the Mohammeds are telling themselves.
	Yes.
	Justifies anything that they do in the future.
	Great.
	So, I'm sure there'll be one round to British values eventually.
	Soup chat is really good.
	It's funny how, even in their own fan fiction, the groomers have names like Sajid.
	Hey, I just read home office reports.
	Also, in the chat, someone said that they are nominating me for a luxury apartment in Hull.
	Oh, I don't know why you don't.
	Like, you know, you've missed the boat on that one.
	You know, you probably came in lawfully.
	I came in by plane.
	I love how you say probably.
	You employ him.
	I didn't check.
	Anyway.
	Thank you.
	At some point, I would love if my public co-host could give me the equipment.
	I'm already paying for your social housing, Stelios.
	You need to pay more, Connor.
	Enough is never enough.
	The world is not enough.
	Thank you, Rachel Reeves.
	I want more benefits.
	An unquestioning loyalty.
	Right, so a few days ago Ireland headed for general elections and literally nothing seems to have changed that much, which was kind of a letdown for many people because the coalition government that governed Ireland for a long time now It has been re-elected.
	Obviously the Greens won't be part of it.
	I think that they did have the previous governments back.
	But now they have been completely crushed.
	So this is the good news.
	They had 12 seats.
	Now they have one.
	So let's see what happened here in the results.
	We have the Sinn Féin got 39 seats, the Fianna Fáil got 48, the Fine Gael got 38, the Green Party won, the Labour Party 11, the Social Democrat Party got 11, I think that's called People Before Profits, Solidarity got 3, and Independence and others got 23. Do they have a single right-wing party?
	Yeah, I was going to say, you're going to have to summarise this for me, because I don't really know that much about Irish politics.
	But all of those sound like left-wing parties.
	That's the tragedy.
	The overwhelming majority of them are either left or globalist, which means left, but sometimes not as fast left.
	Great.
	So what happened here, in a nutshell, is the party with Simon Harris and Helen McEntee just lost a seat from 39. I think they got 38. Fianna File got 10 seats.
	They were governing as a coalition.
	I don't like that brand of leftism.
	I want this brand of leftism.
	So, on paper, the Fianna file is supposed to be centre-right, but it's globally centre-right.
	It's like Ursula von der Leyen in the EU, which means, essentially, they are abiding by EU policies, in this case, especially by the EU migration package.
	Hang on a second.
	I'm going to guess that what they are is economically right wing, as in pro-free market, international, but socially liberal.
	Yeah.
	I would say the way I saw them acting, they reminded me a lot of the Tories.
	Yeah, I bet.
	Right.
	So the Green Party has lost 11 seats.
	From 12, they went to one.
	But Labour and Social Democrat, which people tell me are very, very left, they're hard left and also woke, they got 10 seats.
	So maybe the 11 seats that left...
	The Green Party went to those two parties.
	I can't help but notice that they have the exact same turnout that we have at 59%.
	So 40% of Irish people are just like, yeah, well, you know, there's nothing for me here.
	Which was less than the 63% of four years ago.
	Here we have the results from four years ago where we see what happened.
	You see here Labour and Social Democrats had 12 seats in combination and the Greens Yeah, so I suspect most of the Greens went there.
	So, yeah, it's good that the Green Party got crushed, but I suspect nothing changed that much.
	It's the election equivalent of Grandpa Simpson walking in, taking his hat off, putting the hat back on and coming back out.
	Yeah.
	So here we see the composition of the Doyle, I think it's called, and we see here the maps where particular parties went well or bad, how much of the vote they got according to particular counties.
	Right, so there are several questions of what happened here.
	What's going to happen?
	So most probably we are looking for a coalition between the Fianophile and the Fine Gael, which is mostly the government that governed before.
	But the major partner is going to be the leader of the Fianophile.
	Yeah.
	And this raises the hope that Simon Harris is going to take a secondary role and that Helen McEntee maybe won't be involved as she was involved before.
	And we will talk about her in a bit.
	But the coalition didn't lose that much.
	They lost only 0.4% from 43.1% as a total.
	Four years ago, they have 42.7%.
	And Sinn Féin lost close to 5.5.
	But there's a substantial question here, what happened?
	What happened?
	Why did this happen?
	And what on earth were the Irish thinking?
	Because there are all sorts of strategies now that the new government is going to think.
	Question is, how are they going to form it?
	Because together, they don't have the majority.
	They need at least two seats to have the majority.
	So the question here is, who are they going to address?
	My suspicion is that they are not going to address a major party.
	Because that would give the leader of that party really much power to break the government if their demands aren't met.
	So I think they're going to go to the independents.
	Just a quick thing.
	I assume they have proportional representation in Ireland.
	I think so, yeah.
	I may be completely mistaken, I hope not.
	I think they do.
	My other thing is, there's clearly a gap in the market here for where most populist disenfranchised voters are.
	No.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	Nigel Farage is a Thatcherite.
	Sure.
	So he is economically...
	I meant sort of spiritually.
	No, no, I'm thinking like an Irish Marine Le Pen of where they have a national preference policy, they like the welfare state, which I have my problems with, but that's where most voters are, but are socially conservative.
	My question is, what in the Irish electoral system paralyzes that from moving through, when you just have those two constitutional referendums, and wokeness was repudiated, and they said, no, we like the natural Catholic family, and we like mothers having a place in them.
	Obviously the St. Patrick party.
	Why has nobody capitalized on this?
	Open question.
	Please leave comments.
	Well, here is where I think the segment would go, how I planned it, is that there is a question as to why this happened, and there are several scenarios.
	Number one, people were happy with the government.
	It doesn't seem to be the case.
	Not if they've dropped about 10% of voter participation.
	Yeah, and the other bit is that they didn't know where to go.
	That's the most likely scenario, is that they didn't know exactly where to go, so they may have said, well, better the devil I know than the devil I don't know.
	And there's a question there, and obviously there is a gap in the electoral market about, you could say, a genuine right-wing party that would be pro-Irish national sovereignty.
	And not in the virtue signaling way that the nominally center-right parties are doing.
	The point is that it looks like...
	Just saying no to immigration isn't enough of a message.
	People want to say no.
	People want to say that they want to maintain a strong sense of national sentiment and national loyalty and national sovereignty.
	But there needs to be a more coherent policy.
	What happened?
	Well, I'm just thinking, well, the St. Patrick Party, it's not enough to say no to the snakes.
	You've got to drive them into the sea.
	Just saying it mimetically fits, that's all.
	We do have a lot of Irish viewers as well, so get on it.
	I'm very sympathetic to the Irish, because they're speedrunning the English experience at the moment.
	And they've arrived at the position where all of our parties are basically left-wing.
	So essentially you need, when I say Farage, I don't mean literally Farage, but like, you know, the outsider who kind of forces their way in to represent a more nativist perspective.
	You need a Trumpian figure.
	Yeah, a Trumpian figure, yeah.
	And surprisingly, Ireland, you would think it would be fairly easy for Ireland to find one.
	Yeah.
	Because, like, socially, they seem to be a much more right-wing country than most.
	So, you know...
	I think, yeah, and I think that they really have a Catholic side to them.
	Well, yeah, they're very strongly Catholic.
	So, yeah, just saying, the St. Patrick Party is going to...
	But if you...
	That's also interesting, because if you...
	Good message.
	If you think that they are speed-running the English experience, there are also lots of insights to extract from this case, because...
	If there is to be a party, they have to have a strong message, a well-formulated vision that is attached to a coherent set of policies that also shows that it could work.
	We need to know the mechanism of how they're going to get driven into the sea.
	Well, if you want to call it that way.
	Right, so here we have Michael Martin and Simon Harris holding informal discussions.
	I think right now they're in Scotland.
	Kiyosama is also with them.
	Really?
	Yeah, I think they're talking and they're trying to see how they're going to govern as a coalition.
	Kiyosama's going to give them some advice, is he?
	How to love your country.
	Bring us back into the orbit of the EU, they're pro-EU politicians, so even the old battles around the national sovereignty of Ireland don't matter to people who have globalist loyalties.
	Sure, but why would you want Keir Starmer's advice?
	Oh, because he just won a decisive victory.
	Look at him now.
	Right, so here we have an article by The Conversation saying what happened to Sinn Féin.
	Ireland's opposition fails to make electoral breakthrough.
	I have the impression that they are a bit more left-wing than the globalist government that they had.
	Imagine your opposition to the globalist coalition is Sinn Féin.
	Well, they traded the Tricolor for the rainbow flag, so...
	We see here the Irish Greens wiped out in the electoral, the election route.
	My fear is that the government right now may approach the Green...
	the Green...
	Member of Parliament, which would tie really well to the idea, for instance, that the coalition is going to govern according to the EU's mandates and EU's orders.
	So if the EU is ordering them to implement the net zero policies and all the green policies, there isn't that much reason not to put that Green Party member there.
	So it could be the case.
	If it happens, it's going to be because of the EU, I think.
	Yeah, probably.
	But ideologically, you can barely get a credit card between any of these parties, can't you?
	So who cares?
	But we do see a pattern across Europe of people being very much resistant to the Green Party and voting against them.
	Really hard.
	I remember, was it in Germany a few months ago?
	Was it in the Brandenburg state elections that the Greens got completely crushed there as well?
	Based.
	Yeah.
	Right, so here we have a very good thread by David Thunder.
	I always follow David Thunder as well as other people, my friend Karen as well.
	He has a good thread here and what he says is that there were essentially three scenarios.
	Either the voters blamed most Polish failures on the Greens, Or they were pretty happy with the incumbent government, which seems completely unlikely, or they just felt that there was no other viable option and they followed the better the devil than you know.
	And he ends with the conclusion I mentioned before in the line of thinking that a party has to take place.
	It's good in this...
	We need to talk about this in dissident spheres because dissident spheres have many people who are very much anti-system.
	But the question is whether you're anti-system as such or as anti the form that the current system has.
	So anti-system for anti-system sake doesn't seem to be strong enough.
	And I will say this, which a lot of our viewers in the US may not like, it seems to me that Trump is not going to destroy the US system the way a lot of people believed he would.
	All I'm saying is vote St. Patrick for a snake-free island.
	The slogans write themselves, man.
	And here it shows the tragedy that happened in Ireland, according to the way I see it, is that actually the people weren't happy with the coalition government.
	I think that the results of the referendums of March the 8th show this resoundingly.
	They really disliked the agenda that the coalition government was putting forward.
	And we need to bear in mind that Ireland is suffering from a housing crisis, a healthcare crisis.
	No kidding!
	I wonder what could have caused this.
	Yeah, a housing crisis.
	Yeah, I said it.
	Yeah.
	You wonder what it caused it.
	Let's see some stats.
	Ireland's housing shortage is worsening due to increasing demand.
	I wonder why.
	Local councils lost power to build housing 30 years ago, plus 90% of government money concentrated at national level.
	Also, Ireland built entire states where poor and stupid now can't build a hospital.
	Privatization of infrastructure projects led to inefficiency.
	A must-listen for anyone concerned about Ireland's housing crisis and local governance.
	Now, I'll take that with a pinch of salt, but it seems that a lot of people are saying that it doesn't look well.
	It's going to be the same managerial crisis that we're facing.
	So what the coalition government said, which is interesting to look at it from a rhetoric perspective, they said that they had a surplus budget, which is, you can see, on its own it's good.
	But on the other hand, if you just look at that variable and ignore all the others, we're going to have a very distorted picture.
	So it could be the case that a lot of the voters, or a substantial amount of voters, Just look at it in the abstract and say, okay, we have surplus budget according to the rhetoric of Fianna File and Fine Gael, so we're going to vote for them.
	And here there is also a very huge immigration crisis in an asylum crisis in Ireland.
	It's pushed forward by the EU and by the EU migration pact.
	Here we have Helen McEntee saying, literally I think about a month ago, you have millions of people on the move, you can't tell them not to seek a better life.
	You can actually.
	You are an island.
	You can.
	And even if you weren't an island, Poland and Hungary have shown us, you still can.
	Yes, but it's not like people are literally just walking in.
	But even if they are, you can build a f***ing barrier to stop them.
	If it works for the Israelis, it's good enough for me.
	Poland and Hungary literally did this and just kicked them over the barrier.
	Yes, and there is a lot of dissatisfaction with politicians like her and the kind of politics that they advocate.
	She was behind one of the worst hate speech bills ever.
	Some parts of it have passed.
	Not all of it, but she said that she will carry on.
	And as I have been told, there is allegation of corruption.
	There are suspicions of corruption because her husband is an executive, a senior executive, in one of the pharmaceutical companies that sells puberty-blocked drugs called AbbVie.
	So there is considerable suspicion with respect to her.
	People really don't like her.
	Maybe the new government now will tell her that she shouldn't be in the Minister of Justice as she was.
	But I have the impression that she's going to keep hammering this.
	Well, even if she doesn't keep her job, the commitment to the on-rails way of global liberal politics...
	It's just that she's become bad PR for them.
	So just to summarize, it looks like nothing changed, unfortunately.
	And for there to be meaningful change, there has to be a genuine right-wing Irish movement that respects national sovereignty.
	But also has a very coherent plan and vision with respect to how to do it that will seem as a good plan in the eyes of most of the Irish.
	GLE says, if only the UK was one-tenth as based as that playwright says.
	We cannot condone any of the violent actions by the right-wing mobs in that play.
	But imagine a UK state that was focused around looking after the good of its own native citizens.
	And wasn't actively propagandising them on behalf of Islamic terrorists.
	It's just impossible to imagine.
	Gavin says $5 to doing a citizenship check to anyone on Lotus Eater's employees.
	We'll do afterwards.
	Binary says if we were to play reversing the roles and setting it in the Middle Eastern country, Christian victims, we're going to knock on the door from the fuzz or even end up in jail.
	Yes, you would.
	Anyway, so, I want to talk about the Greg Wallace saga that has been going on for the past week solid now.
	Why?
	Because I don't know who Greg Wallace is.
	And they're all like, God, look at this evil man.
	And I'm like, okay, alright, okay.
	And so, like, it's like, evil man.
	I was like, oh, okay, what did this BBC presenter do?
	Nothing as bad as the other BBC presenters?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they seem to be most annoyed that he's interested in adult human females.
	Which is literally the entire allegation against him, by the way.
	Okay.
	He acted on Gentlemanly in the workplace.
	Yeah, we'll cover it in some autistic detail because I just want to show people just how...
	This isn't really news, right?
	What this is, is something that should have been dealt with internally and not really our problem.
	And also, essentially, Greg Wallace's crime is being cringe.
	Yes.
	That is his crime.
	And also being a working class cringe boomer.
	He's not actually a boomer, he's an expert.
	Spiritually.
	Spiritually a working class boomer against the Love Actually women of the early 2000s.
	Glamour feminists.
	No, I wouldn't go that far.
	The sort of bourgeois feminism of the early 2000s, right?
	Where you've got a kind of level of appropriateness that they expect.
	It's very, again, it's very bourgeois, it's very...
	You say that, the same sort of class of women who expect this level of appropriateness from Greg Wallace, they promote loose women, they promote Lorraine Kelly.
	Yeah, but that's all fine because that's done by women.
	I know, yeah, yeah.
	When it's done by a man, then it's a problem.
	Especially a working class man.
	I kind of agree because of the physical differentiation, but they don't agree because they want to level all sex differences.
	Yeah, and they also want to make it so that a man can never be sexually forward, which is fine.
	And to be honest with you, like I said, I find Greg Wallace's behaviour really cringe.
	Yep.
	But the thing is, the question is, is it criminal?
	No, it doesn't appear to be.
	Is it inappropriate?
	Well, given it was the BBC, it seems to have been rather tepid.
	Yeah, he's no Hugh Edwards.
	He's no Jimmy Savile.
	And what's the guy who raped all the dogs to death?
	What?
	Yeah, the vet.
	Yeah, there was a BBC presenter who raped like 39 dogs to death.
	Did you not see that?
	It was only fairly recently as well.
	Poor dogs.
	I could have lived without knowing this, actually.
	So, like, you know, Greg Wallace has been a bit cringed towards women who weren't interested in his advances.
	Yeah, I agree, that's not great.
	But let's be honest, the BBC has just got such worse skeletons in the cupboard.
	But anyway, so yeah, Greg Wallace.
	I didn't know who he was, right?
	Because I don't watch, like, normie TV. He was the green grocer that's the co-presenter on MasterChef.
	Yeah, he's the co-presenter of Masterchef.
	And he's done a bunch of other things as well.
	Like, as you can see, he's had a long broadcasting career.
	And he's a Londoner.
	He's from...
	Peckham, isn't it?
	Peckham, yeah.
	And, you know, he's a Londoner from the 1960s.
	So he is a little bit of a dinosaur in the age of the new men.
	The important thing to note about this that I was...
	Going to bring up, because I found out about this via cultural osmosis, because this has, if you're in Britain, been the headline for a week.
	He said in his biography that when he was eight years old, he was sexually abused.
	So I think that this unhealthy relationship to sexual boundaries might have stemmed from somewhere.
	Entirely possible.
	I'm not in a position to psychoanalyze him, but that does seem something that may be a contributing factor to this.
	But as you can see, he sold vegetables at a stand in Covent Garden before becoming a salesman.
	And so there's a kind of working-class London stereotype, which is a kind of loud...
	The Barrow Boy.
	The Barrow Boy.
	The sort of bantering...
	I don't know how to describe it, really.
	Cockney Cheeky Chappy.
	Yeah, Cockney Cheeky Chappy, yeah.
	And that's the kind of stereotype that Greg fits into.
	And that stereotype became superseded in about 2000 when a bunch of...
	Bourgeois cosmopolitan men took over in the Blair administration and instantiated a new kind of over-culture in which no one's allowed to be a cheeky chappy because that's, I was going to say racism, in some ways it is racism, but also it's a sexism.
	Greg has done a lot of sexisms.
	If people have seen Love Actually, the kind of person they're talking about is Hugh Grant, who's sort of bumbling and apologetic about his innuendos at the very least.
	Yeah.
	But Greg Wallace, but that's the thing, Hugh Grant being the avatar of a bourgeois man, Greg Wallace is a working class man and so he is tactless, I think we can say at best.
	And so anyway, he's been popular because the other side of the cheeky chappy is he's funny and endearing and people like him.
	He's a fun guy to be around.
	And so he's been really popular.
	I mean, he did earlier this year, in fact, Greg Wallace had done like a perfect Saturday show where basically he just explains what his perfect Saturday is.
	And on Greg's, it's just like, well, I get up really early.
	I read some of my book.
	I go to the gym.
	I have lunch at like 10 o'clock or something.
	It was really early.
	10.30am.
	And then I go and spend some time with my kids.
	I'll go home and play a strategy game in the afternoon for a couple of hours.
	Then I'll be in bed by 9 o'clock and it'll just be a really boring day.
	And everyone, for some reason, took exception to this.
	And this guy's like, oh, I interviewed Greg.
	I really liked him.
	He's a really charming dude.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
	And there's a lot of discourse about this in, like, the normie space.
	It's like, ah, the problem with Greg Wallace, right?
	He was too honest.
	He was just too honest about how his day went.
	And it's just like, okay, but he's...
	I mean, I don't know.
	I've never watched anything with him in.
	I don't know anything about him, and this is the kind of discourse they're having before all of this happens.
	You've got people like Janet Street Porter who's like, oh God, why do they love him so much?
	He's always on TV. He's their token working class hero.
	And it's like, okay, you can see the discourse surrounding it.
	Of all the people, Janet Street Porter said this.
	I mean, she's the insufferable harpy on Loose Swimming.
	I'm just curious, what did he say?
	Because we constantly hear the name.
	Yeah, we'll get to it.
	But anyway, Greg Wallace, so generally he's...
	I mean, he was a man of standing in this...
	Sorry, the Dark Mode has made Genestri Porter look like some sort of interdimensional goblin!
	Yes, that's correct.
	But also something to do with the Dark Mode.
	But the point is, she's a middle class woman of a certain age, complaining that I don't like this shouty bloke being this token working class hero, because he is a popular man within this milieu.
	He was given an MBE a few years ago, and of course he thinks of himself as deserving of a statue because he saved the nation from obesity.
	It's like, okay, well, again, I don't know.
	I don't know who this guy is, but he seems to be relatively well-liked in his social sphere.
	He seems to have had a successful career.
	He's that kind of, you know, peck-em-cheeky-chappy type.
	You get what you get with that kind of guy.
	Save the nation from obesity.
	Oh, apparently.
	We've got really high rates of child obesity.
	Yeah, I know.
	I didn't think he'd want that bad.
	Connor.
	They would be higher if it weren't for him.
	Yeah, he's just one, Greg and Wallace, nil.
	Yeah, but, you know, whatever, right?
	The point being, he's a known property in this industry, and, you know, someone working for the BBC, he didn't seem that bad, but there is a certain kind of middle-class, middle-aged woman who doesn't like this kind of man, because this kind of man isn't as respecting of boundaries as the kind of, maybe the...
	Who's the other guy in Love Actually?
	That doesn't narrow it down.
	Liam Neeson.
	No, no.
	You mean Rick from Walking Dead who was showing her the cards?
	Who's the guy in Bridget Jones?
	Oh, Colin Firth.
	Colin Firth.
	The other one.
	No, that is Hugh Grant.
	It's Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.
	Right, yeah, Colin Firth.
	The sort of Colin Firth types and the Hugh Grant types all fine because they're non-threatening characters.
	Bridget Jones is the Pride and Prejudice recast dream for that kind of woman.
	It absolutely is.
	But they're the kind of acceptable men from the bourgeois feminist position because they're non-threatening.
	Or because those women liked them, found them attractive.
	It's not just that.
	They do find them attractive, but they find them non-threatening, right?
	Because these men fundamentally agree with the kind of feminist propositions on how male-female interaction should be.
	Greg Wallace comes from a different kind of class, a different kind of culture that is more about being aggressive with your own boundaries.
	You can also believe that Greg Wallace could handle himself in a scrap, whereas the two characters in Bridget Jones, the entire running joke is that the street fights that they have are embarrassing.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And so, anyway, Greg Wallace has had a fairly long history, really, of saying things that certain types of people don't like.
	For example, he presented a show called Inside the Factory a few years ago.
	Which was just him going around factories and saying, oh, look, this is how this works, right?
	And he was encouraged and he decided to quit this.
	Look at this accident.
	This guy here got chopped to death.
	Well, the factories weren't quite that exciting.
	21st century Friedrich Engels, is it?
	Well, we don't have factories that do anything that magnificent.
	We package yogurts and stuff.
	One of the complaints was from a nest.
	That's glorious.
	I'm not even joking.
	Right.
	Right.
	But during the visit, Wallace allegedly made comments to staff that were considered inappropriate.
	The publication understands that remarks were related to the weight of female staff members and were not sexual.
	So he wasn't sexually harassing anyone, he was calling them fat.
	Quite the opposite, in fact.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Anyway, so that was back in 2023, May 2023, and so, you know, some sensitive souls were like, how dare you call me fat?
	You're fired.
	And then we begin in October, where he had to deny a series of inappropriate sexual comments.
	I was like, okay.
	Alright, I can see where this is going.
	So, he was reported to the BBC bosses after he was accused of taking his top off and boasting about his sex life to a woman on the show Impossible Celebrities in 2018. He posted on Instagram that this was not true, he hadn't said anything sexual, and the BBC said, quote, it does not tolerate any form of inappropriate behaviour and has robust processes in place.
	So that suggests that they didn't find Jimmy Savile inappropriate.
	Or Hugh Edwards.
	Or the guy who raped all the dogs to death.
	But no, Greg Wallace took his shirt off and said something about his sex life between two consenting adults, and the BBC were like, not on our bloody watch.
	How dare you, sir?
	And one source who reported on this to the BBC said, quote, Greg appeared to think it was all just banter, and also said to have made some comments in front of the live audience.
	And were they all like, oh my god, no, they all laughed.
	Because as far as he was concerned, it was just banter.
	Because he is a peckum cheeky chappy, And not a Love Actually Bridget Jones type guy.
	Well, okay, let's say rough and rugged heterosexual white men in particular are the public enemy number one of the current social order.
	Yeah.
	And especially after Me Too, where for decades they tolerated actual sexual assaults in Hollywood, in media.
	Jimmy Savile's sort of around but not directly implicated in this.
	They've then leaped to a now puritanical, very prudent, prudish, not prudent, crusade against language as if language leads ineluctably to rape.
	And so now he's fallen on the wrong side of this.
	And this was probably a long time coming because of the kind of person that he is and the kind of environment that he's operating in and the kind of environment it has become.
	But anyway, so he stepped away from presenting MasterChef after denying inappropriate sexual comments in, I think this is in November, let me just check.
	Yeah, oh, October, sorry.
	In the next one, actually.
	There we go.
	In November because of allegations of historical misconduct.
	So the BBC News sent a letter to his representatives letting him know about allegations of inappropriate sexual comments by 13 people who worked with him across a range of shows over a 17-year period.
	Well, this is a 17-year period.
	And again, he's denied this through his legal team.
	I've got no opinion on it one way or the other.
	But he's a 60-year-old man.
	Throughout his life...
	What have been the characters in British films and sitcoms?
	It's been the carry-ons, it's been Red Dwarf, it's been men behaving badly.
	So, lads mags in the 90s.
	So, are these not the expectations that were set for him, or at least a certain type of man?
	And then when it switches on a dime with Me Too, they then get sucked into the language policing orbit.
	Yeah, that's what's happened.
	He comes from a culture where people are expected to more aggressively assert their own boundaries, right?
	And this is just what, especially in sort of working class London culture before it got diversified out of existence, you know, I mean, I found it like...
	Surprising how firm you would have to be with these.
	It's not that they were doing anything wrong.
	It's just they weren't as respectful of other people's boundaries as you would expect.
	And honestly, like Greg Wallace making sexualized jokes to women who are obviously not interested, complete cringe.
	Complete cringe.
	I don't endorse it at all.
	I think it's gross.
	And so I am with them on that.
	But the question is, are these crimes?
	Are these things that he needs to have his entire career stripped from him?
	Do we need to drag his name through the mud?
	Well, I mean, these people do think so, right?
	So, anyway, apparently Wallace would tell stories and jokes of, quote, asexualised nature in front of contestants and crew.
	I mean, that's very abstract.
	Exactly.
	Do we know what did he say?
	No, not in every case, anyway.
	But that's the point.
	They're trying to abstract away from what he actually said to make it sound like he was essentially saying, I'm going to do something terrible to you, rather than just making a cringe and inappropriate joke.
	And that's what this seems to be.
	And, you know, the...
	Which carries on.
	I think people are uncomfortable, but we were essentially a captive audience.
	People looked embarrassed and just got on with their work.
	Yeah, so he was cringe.
	Right, okay, I agree.
	I agree that he was cringe.
	Hang on a minute.
	So if it was that outrageous, again, very different to the culture that I grew up with, because actually my grandparents are both from that area.
	Yeah, I know.
	Thanks.
	Thanks.
	Well, no, it's fine.
	Well, that's why I'm glad that you're here to talk about it, because you know exactly the kind of culture I'm talking about.
	Yeah, as a kid, I wasn't used to this.
	You got wound up something chronic, and it took me a long time to adjust to it, so that's why you grow a slightly thicker skin.
	But wouldn't you just turn around and say, well, come on, mate, really?
	Cut it out a bit.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you know, you don't have to, but you could, and probably should, frankly.
	Rather than harbour it for years.
	Anyway, so let's go through the actual allegations, just because these are just mental, right?
	So, one person claims that Wallace was openly talking about his sex life, taking off his top in front of a female worker, saying he wanted to give her a fashion show, and telling a junior female colleague that he wasn't wearing any box shorts under his jeans.
	Okay.
	All of them are gross and, like, cringe, again, but okay, what now?
	What do you want us to do about this?
	Like, what is the demand that comes of this, right?
	Many accusations span back the last decade.
	19 years.
	Yeah, some back as far as 19 years, right?
	One of the women calls him, says that he sexually harassed her, quote-unquote, and Describing him as disgusting and repulsive, again it seems to be about making the jokes.
	And she also called him racist because he impersonated an Indian accent in front of a staff member who was Indian.
	Sounds like he was just joking around, mate.
	Yeah.
	And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he wasn't cringe.
	Like, it seems like he was, but, you know...
	Being cringe is not a crime.
	Yeah, I mean, presenter Kersey Alsop says...
	That was, like, from 2012 or something, that allegation.
	It's like, yeah...
	It's unprofessional and embarrassing.
	Did she also report it internally at the time?
	So I know some people did, which is the BBC's failure to follow up on, but...
	Again, what's the motivation of now coming out of the woodwork to get your five minutes of...
	We'll get to that in a minute.
	So, actor and author Emma Kennedy complained that he had apparently touched another woman's bottom.
	So, the woman he touched hasn't leveled the complaint.
	She's leveled the complaint.
	And what she says is, I think he touched her because she did react, but I cannot be 100% certain that he did touch her.
	Because a female assistant was bending over and he went core with his hands over her arse.
	Right, so a carry-on joke.
	A carry-on joke.
	Which, again, cringe.
	Yeah, embarrassing, and you definitely should not do.
	But if the woman who apparently he touched, even though he's not sure he's touched someone, it is inappropriate, I agree.
	But, like, do we need to hear about him for a week solid over this?
	This is an entire non-story.
	This is just not really interesting.
	The BBC did not dedicate the same coverage to the recent grooming gang prosecutions where they got over a hundred years in prison.
	And yet all we've seen for this week is this.
	So the Sunday Times reported that the BBC, an executive, told Wallace that his behaviour was unacceptable and cannot continue after complaints were made by the broadcaster Azamir, who appeared on the 12th series of Celebrity MasterChef, And two of the women who complained about the BBC told staff that he made them feel uncomfortable by talking about his sex life and making disgusting sexual jokes.
	Yes, gross, I agree.
	I wouldn't be comfortable either.
	Now what?
	Like...
	Don't keep hiring him, I guess.
	I don't know, but that was, again, back in 2018. In 2022, a letter containing several allegations of inappropriate behaviour by Wallace was sent to the BBC, but did not prompt further investigation at the time.
	They were probably thinking, well, I'm not going to make jokes about this.
	And there are a few others who just said that he made highly inappropriate comments about sex, made lesbian jokes, and was fascinated with her relationships with women.
	It's like, okay...
	Yeah, he's a really embarrassing uncle, basically.
	Yeah.
	That's basically the summary of all this.
	Anyway, and so Wallace came out and was like, well, yeah, my accusers are a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.
	This was a full-on minefield, but he jumped with both feet on.
	Yes.
	But this was also an accurate characterization of who the accusers were, actually.
	But he says there have been 13 complaints over 17 years where he's had 4,000 contestants.
	And none of them seem to actually be saying he did anything physical to touch them or harm them or something like that.
	Basically, he's got bad vibes and he makes them feel uncomfortable.
	They don't like the cut of his jib.
	Yeah, they don't.
	He gives them the ick because he isn't funny.
	Yeah, and he's not sexy or something.
	So it's just like they don't want him coming on to them, basically.
	And it's like, yeah, that's great.
	But it doesn't even sound like he was actually coming on to them.
	Those weren't the allegations.
	He was actually making jokes about his wife.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, they cancelled his Christmas special over this, and one of his co-stars has gutted about it, but I think this is really what he was all building towards.
	It's like, look, he is an influential man who we don't like because he gives us the ick.
	Let's get rid of him.
	And it seems to be a kind of middle-aged feminist conspiracy against him to say that he made us feel gross.
	It's like, yeah, okay.
	You are right in that it's bourgeois because they are not concerned about any actual issues of material scarcity or survival.
	It's just appropriateness.
	And also, you work for the BBC. You work for an institutionally non-C organisation.
	And you're like, yeah, but this working class guy made a joke about, like, sex.
	It's like, okay, yeah, but he made a joke about sex with adult women.
	You literally work, or have worked with, or...
	Are in the same institution as literal pedophiles.
	So, just saying.
	Sorry he's giving you the ick.
	Anyway, moving on.
	Melanie Sykes was like, I had a jaw-dropping encounter with Greg Wallace.
	Made me quit TV entirely.
	He's like, God, what did he do?
	What did he say?
	No, no, take a guess.
	Take a guess of what he did.
	Can you scroll down?
	No, I want you to guess.
	But what's Melanie Sykes look like?
	He called her a frisky lass.
	He's a former model, right?
	Right, okay.
	Called her a frisky lass?
	Yeah.
	What do you reckon?
	How bad was this Georgia?
	Did he make a racist joke?
	Okay, okay, let's find out.
	Wallace asked her as she walked onto the set, quote, whether models eat.
	Because models are very skinny.
	Greg Wallace is not very skinny.
	And so he's like, whoa, do models even eat?
	And she's like, oh, jaw-dropping.
	It made me decide to quit the TV industry once and for all.
	How will she recover?
	This is pathetic.
	This is absolutely pathetic.
	Now, possibly the worst one is this one, right?
	So one MasterChef contestant Accused Greg Wallace of thrusting his groin in her face Three times as she crouched in front of an oven And this person from 2009 Said that he carried out the disturbing act While making a sick joke about her father's meat So hang on a minute Hang on a minute.
	Edited out of the show implies there is footage.
	The BBC retain all their footage in archives.
	They do get the footage.
	Let's see it.
	So, he's denied this with his lawyers.
	So, shouldn't this be easy to either prove or disprove?
	You'd think so.
	Again, it's all very recent.
	This is very breaking news.
	It's overcompensation.
	Could he have sent a legal request to the BBC to procure the footage?
	I'm sure his lawyers could.
	So why is anyone reporting on this?
	I don't know.
	Because this is a smear job.
	This is about trying to tear down an icon of masculinity, even though I use that in inverted commas.
	I don't consider him an icon of masculinity.
	Like I said, I consider him really embarrassing.
	And I agree that with these women, he's embarrassing, don't work with them.
	But he's an avatar of the bloke-ish order.
	Exactly.
	He's one of the working-class men behaving badly, and we need to stamp that down.
	There are some more allegations which I take with less seriousness because we are given women without their real names.
	So it's like the Russell Brand thing?
	Yeah.
	I think a core component of justice is being able to face your accuser.
	Yes.
	And if someone's making an accusation behind a pseudonym, I don't really take that very seriously then.
	You've got to put your name to the allegation because it's a serious thing.
	Lisa, not her real name, worked for the BBC's show Just Eat Well for Less or something in 2015 and apparently he touched her inappropriately when they were filming in the supermarket.
	He brushed past me in the checkout and touched my bum with his waist and penis and laughed, ooh, you like that, didn't you?
	It was the way he reacted.
	Other people would have said, oh, I'm sorry, can I squeeze by?
	Again, a very much class distinction here.
	But also, okay, two things there.
	You're describing...
	Again, if this is true, yeah, damning.
	I've not got any actual evidence of this yet, but fine.
	You're describing a sequence of disconnected events.
	It could have just been...
	That he brushed past you and then made a joke about brushing past you.
	It's not that he deliberately tried to make him grinding up against you.
	Yeah, no, that's what she's accusing.
	She's not saying that he grabbed her hips and ground against her or anything like that.
	What he's saying is, like, you know when you're on a train and you have to brush past something, right?
	And you're uncomfortably close to them, right?
	But the difference is in culture.
	In bourgeois, middle-class, sort of new-man culture, you have to be very apologetic.
	Sorry, sorry.
	But in working class, sort of Peckham, wide boy culture, you make an excessive joke about anything that happens.
	And this, honestly, is why I've never really wanted to date a London woman, right?
	And I'm not even trying to throw shade, but, like, again, it's just very loud culture that comes at you, and it's not for me.
	And, like, I'm not saying London women are attractive or anything like that.
	It's just...
	There's a kind of effervescence to it.
	I can hear my ex-girlfriend's voice in my ear right now.
	And that's the sort of thing they do to cover up when they're feeling embarrassed, right?
	When there's some social inappropriateness or interaction that no one's really happy with, they make it more so you can laugh at it and move on.
	Trying to defuse the tension.
	Exactly, to defuse the tension.
	That's what he's, I think, obviously trying to do there.
	But she, as a middle-class woman, is just like, oh my god, It's worse.
	And so she's like, I felt slimy.
	It's like, yeah, okay, I agree.
	I can understand why.
	But I don't think it's what you mean.
	It wasn't predatory.
	It was just cringe.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It wasn't predatory.
	It seems it was just cringe.
	So basically we have someone who was working for the BBC. Yes.
	For a long time and made some inappropriate jokes.
	Anyone who works for the BBC could be called pedophile adjacent, I think.
	Okay, and most of them are just accusations that haven't been proven or something.
	I think it's overcompensation.
	The BBC, most probably, they want to just seem that they're cracking really hard on it.
	Sanitise their image.
	So they say, for instance, you're never going to sing I touch myself in an elevator by the Divinos.
	Because it's going to be cringy.
	Can we go on?
	Because some of these are just even more stupid.
	So Anna worked on, not her real name again, worked on MasterChef in 2015 and she was called to his dressing room and he wasn't properly dressed and she could see his pubic hair.
	And the top part of his thing...
	And she was like, oh, he stared at me and I felt embarrassed and I left.
	I was like, okay.
	So then the question would be, did you just walk in on him at an inopportune time?
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	And no more details are provided.
	Well, they say, quote, she was called in, but it doesn't say by him.
	Yeah.
	Could have been the producer.
	Go and get Greg ready or something like that.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, we need more details.
	We don't know.
	But she felt embarrassed, which, yeah, it seems embarrassing.
	And then there's a woman called Sarah, not her real name, says that Wallace asked her to take him to the car park and as we walked down, he put his arm around me and said, go on, hold my hand.
	Don't you want to stand next to me?
	It was totally out of the blue and totally unwanted.
	Yeah, okay, but that's not him doing anything other than making an attempt at a woman and her going, no, I'm not interested, thank you.
	Yeah.
	It's cringe.
	What are you doing, Greg?
	But, like, anyway.
	He left one woman crying because he, quote, made innuendos constantly during filming and made sexually inappropriate comments and left her in tears.
	Like, yeah, okay.
	I don't...
	She said there's no way the people did not hear Wallace's innuendos constantly throughout filming and that it was put down to lad culture and banter.
	If it's just banter and fun, then why am I crying in the toilet?
	it's like immediately invisibility yeah well that's I agree I'm not really a big fan of that kind of sexualised banter culture either.
	I do find it cringe, and I can totally see why you wouldn't want to be a part of it.
	And it would be nice if those sort of people would knock it off.
	But again, this has been the main headline all week.
	But also the sentence, if they're having fun, then why am I crying?
	It's just...
	There was a complaint from Nestle because there was a memo shared on the company intranet that said, the experience of some of the team taking part in the film had not been a pleasant one.
	Compromised Nestle's values.
	Anyway, so he apologises for the middle class women comment.
	He said, look, I apologise for any offence I caused with the post yesterday.
	Any upset I may have caused a lot of people.
	I wasn't in a good headspace when I posted it.
	I've been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion, and you can see why after three or four days of non-stop...
	We're not going to say that Greg Wallace is a rapist, but we are going to imply Greg Wallace is a rapist, even though there's no actual allegations of any real physical wrongdoing.
	It's all just we don't like his personality.
	It's like, yeah, okay, maybe you don't.
	I'm sure lots of middle-class women don't.
	But he said, I felt very alone under siege yesterday when I posted it, and says, it's obvious to me I need to take some time out while this investigation is underway.
	I hope you understand, and I do hope you'll accept this apology.
	But it seems like an unreserved apology.
	Yeah.
	So they won't accept it?
	Of course not.
	The first thing, one of his accusers said, he certainly hasn't learned his lesson and seems to be saying he's the victim of classism.
	Well, honestly, I think he might be the victim of classism, actually.
	But I don't know what else he needs to do to apologise then, because that seemed to be an unreserved apology.
	And, okay, I mean, whatever.
	Ulrika Johnson said that he made a rape joke during her time on Celebrity MasterChef.
	And told the Daily Telegraph that she felt Wallace's response showed the arrogance of a man who has zero introspection or self-awareness.
	Is the joke detailed in the article?
	No.
	Oh.
	So I'm just going to take their word for it, because I don't think any of them would be misrepresenting any of this.
	When he made a reference to women of a certain age, I was just seething.
	I was absolutely wild.
	It's because you resembled that characterization, wasn't it?
	That's the thing.
	And then finally his ghostwriter has alleged sexual harassment, Shannon Kyle.
	In what sense?
	Well, he apparently once answered the door wearing a towel, which he later dropped, made revolting and sickening sexualised suggestions to her and touched her inappropriately.
	He once touched her on the thigh when she was sitting in the passenger seat of his sports car and felt her bottom after he appeared on the Good Food Show in Birmingham.
	So this is the worst allegation.
	Yeah, if any of those things are true, they're grim.
	But why weren't they also reported to the authorities at the time?
	Yeah, that's a great question.
	Because she was working for him, remember?
	And so this was in 2012. And she described his sexual innuendos as word grenades that he would put out to get a response from her.
	It's like, yeah, I think he was hitting on you.
	And you should have told him that you're not interested.
	You should have been more proactive with your own boundaries, is what people are saying.
	But yeah, again, if any of those things are true, you really should have raised him at the time.
	And you should have gone to the police.
	If he, like, actually did grope you, absolutely.
	But anyway, obviously his co-hosts are like, yeah, well...
	We pointed out that his boisterous behaviour was not something that everyone liked, but the BBC didn't do anything about it and there was nothing we could do.
	And so basically, this is what it seems to come down to.
	A bunch of the kind of culturally distinct classes in this country have been interacting and they don't like each other.
	That's what I think this has come down to.
	I don't think he's done anything very bad, at least from the allegations.
	I don't know.
	I don't know anything about Greg Wallace or anything.
	Like I said, I've never watched anything that he's been in.
	But it seems that there's a certain level of viciousness here that's being latched onto by middle-class women of a certain age.
	And I think that's most well shown by the Melanie Sykes one.
	Do models even eat?
	Well, I think the viciousness is shown by the fact that this has been, if you're in the UK, the leading news story for over a week, and I'm so tired of it, when we have actual child grooming gangs still operating in this country.
	I spent all morning figuring out what the hell I'm being bombarded with Greg Wallace for.
	Because, like, it's just, he said something I didn't like, and okay, where's the crime?
	What's the crime?
	And there are things that may be crimes, but they're often...
	Weren't reported as crimes?
	They weren't reported at the time as crimes, and often they're coming from people who are anonymous, and it's like, okay, but...
	What do you want me to do with this information?
	And the answer just seems to be, just dislike Greg Wallace.
	Just dislike him.
	That's what we want.
	We want him to be booed and shunned.
	It's like, okay, but I really hate this kind of gross character assassination form of dealing with problems.
	I'd rather deal with problems openly.
	This is just a very, very gross insidious way of doing it.
	I don't like it at all.
	But I'm not saying I like Greg Wallace either.
	I think the way Greg Wallace behaves is just embarrassing.
	It is totally embarrassing.
	Greg, knock it off, obviously.
	But anyway, leave that there.
	On to the video comments.
	Well, we've got a couple of comments first.
	Yep.
	Not just the spring football.
	Okay.
	Sorry, yeah.
	Binary says, Yeah, nothing like that has been accused.
	nothing like that has been accused Ramchack says I worked in a back street in Chatham garage for years some women love Greg Wallace types and are often worse yes they do women like myself learn quickly to rebuff and close it down i.e. being a grown up exactly Exactly.
	There are definitely women who like that kind of banter, and there are definitely middle-class women of a certain age who don't.
	Catherine Tate's characters, for example.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I never liked those sort of characters.
	But I'm...
	She was endearing in Doctor Who.
	Sure.
	And I'm not saying that people aren't entitled to like them.
	Yes.
	I'm saying it's not for me.
	Dogbreath says, you mentioned Emma Kennedy.
	Please remember she's a hard left tuppence licker.
	I don't know what that...
	I bet they all are, to be honest.
	I don't know what that means.
	Yeah, I don't know who she is.
	Dragon Lady Chris says, when I worked in professional kitchens, I joined the boys in swapping Jimmy Carr-like jokes.
	We had to keep an eye out for the other gals, lest we be overheard by some fragile cupcake.
	And Not Just String says, if women are worried about men making advances on them, then we should ban all sex outside of marriage and make it a capital crime.
	I'm sure that would fix the problem, and birth rates too.
	Any takers?
	Doubt it.
	Yes, well, precisely.
	On with video comments.
	Why Trump won, and more importantly, why recently Constantine Kisen laid out why Trump won, and more importantly, why Democrats lost.
	And there are points worth noting.
	One, Americans love their country and want it to be the best.
	Democrats don't.
	Americans do not accept managed decline.
	Democrats do.
	Americans believe in meritocracy and reject socialism.
	Democrats do the opposite.
	I think that's good.
	Most of those are good.
	I don't know if Americans necessarily reject socialism because Trump himself...
	He's talking about the Republicans.
	Yeah, no, Trump himself is running...
	Hang on, hang on.
	Trump himself is running on a left-wing populist economic ticket of where he's not touching social entitlements.
	So there are levels of social welfare which are beyond the power.
	He's not a Romney Republican.
	He's redefined the Republican Party.
	He's talking about the culture.
	Generally speaking, the culture is different.
	It's not socialist as a culture.
	Economic protectionism, the type of Steve Bannon was talking about, isn't necessarily socialist.
	Yeah, they don't see it as socialist.
	They see it as nationalist, which is fine.
	But yeah, I actually enjoyed that video from Constantine.
	I think it was an accurate assessment.
	Until next one.
	I've seen a bunch of discourse recently about how Paddington is basically an allegory about migrants.
	You have to support migrants because you like Paddington because Paddington is just like a migrant.
	Which, I don't know much about Paddington because I was raised on Babar, which is about, you know, rule by...
	Honestly, Paddington is a really bad comparison because they're effectively saying that migrants are just like bears.
	A creature that we know for loitering on your property, eating your pets, and mulling you when you look at them.
	So the thing about Paddington Bear is he always had a very posh and genteel English accent.
	He's supposed to be Peruvian.
	So he's not exactly the average immigrant.
	Well, an adorable bear is not an accurate representation of rapey Abdul that I'm paying to house in a hotel.
	Yes.
	On to the next one!
	God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
	Remember Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas Day.
	To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray.
	Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
	Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
	Adorable.
	Why do your chairs look like the Elizabeth line?
	This is a lovely dog.
	On with the next one.
	One of the major mistakes that Europeans make when analyzing the USA is thinking that we are a liberal nation.
	No, our Constitution is liberal, but in a nation of individualists, our founding documents are just government procedure.
	They do not define our character.
	Our government is a referee, not the coach.
	Take, for instance, the liberal First Amendment.
	It actually only applies to federal Congress.
	States are free to be as liberal as they like.
	Most notable to me is the Mormon Extermination Order of 1838, which formed militias to remove the Mormons from the state with force.
	The modern interpretation of the First Amendment Also, the First Amendment didn't want to create a state church because you had disestablishmentarianism to disconnect yourself from the monarchy because the monarch is also the head of the Church of England, but lots of states had their own established churches and in every state constitution the Christian God has mentioned.
	Mormon extermination order, though.
	Glenn Beck most affected.
	Yeah, that's crazy.
	On with the next one.
	Hey guys, I don't know if you remember a video game called Super Dapper Man vs Furries.
	It went viral a couple of years ago because you could play as Trump where he's beating up furries.
	There's a new game now called Skull Stompers where you can play as a whole ton of different guys including Trump.
	But the poor guy is getting review bombed.
	He spent a lot of money trying to make this game.
	So if you could go and review his game, Carl, do play his game on your gaming channel.
	I think that would really help him.
	Okay.
	I feel like I just entered an alternate dimension.
	Yeah, I know.
	I've no idea what I'm supposed to make of all that.
	It's been some time since Carl mentioned doing a deep dive into how the Harry Potter books have a right-wing morality to them, and I really want this to happen.
	I know that there's more important stuff to do right now, and time is limited.
	It's just something that I was looking forward to seeing.
	And anyone saying no because it's cringe and left-wingers like it?
	Exactly.
	He's kind of like...
	Voldemort!
	No.
	No, this cannot work.
	I love Seamus.
	Seamus is so good.
	Yeah, no, I would love to.
	I'm just really, really busy at the moment.
	Potential future lads.
	In like a year...
	Oh, no, I'll do like a big thing on it in like a year's time, but it's not for now.
	We do have more movie stuff coming on Lads Hour as well, so that's going to be good fun.
	Do we want to do the written comments on the website?
	Yeah, I'll do them, I'll do them.
	Someone referring to Destiny says, when I have kids I'll even make sure I give them good Anglo-Saxon names like Edgar, Edward and Ethel.
	Neotraditionalism for the win.
	I wanted to call my second son Alfred but my wife wasn't having it.
	I've selected mine already.
	I'm not going to say them but they are like super traditional because we need to fight back against the rising tide of Muhammad.
	Justin says, yeah, you know, and I wanted to call my youngest girl Ethel as well but she wasn't having that either.
	I'm like, She doesn't like the Anglo-Saxon names.
	I'm like, oh, but they're so good.
	Like, you know, they sound barbaric.
	They sound like something from prehistory, because they are, actually.
	Justin says, when it comes to falling fertility, I just read the report on Bevere, the additive they're starting to give cows to cut the methane out, but it suggests there's a very negative correlation with male fertility, literally shrinking of the testes at higher doses.
	I saw the same thing with ovaries as well, apparently.
	Yeah, so this has just now been signed up to be added to after Bill Gates met with Keir Starmer because he owns Arla, you know, the milk brand.
	So now Rupert Lowe, again, absolute hero, has said, I will be personally lobbying to prevent this.
	Yeah.
	I saw a bunch of companies like Cathedral Cheese and stuff like that being like, we don't use this.
	Because a lot of people were really on top of this.
	And it seems to be a lot of women actually have been on top of this, from Facebook.
	My wife brought this to my attention before I saw anyone else talking about it.
	And I saw just lots of women on Twitter talking about it.
	I was like, right, okay, there's something the men haven't clocked onto yet.
	But thankfully the ladies are well ahead on the curve on this one.
	Well, RFK won Trump a lot of crunchy granola mums.
	Yeah, yeah, he did, yeah.
	That was great.
	Guy from Hungary says, I pray in the direction of Mecca, make Europe culturally Christian again.
	Sean says, I feel there is a failing of structure and morals leading to this decline, but I must also ask if there is not a feeling of overcrowding.
	The government may not want any decrease in population, but maybe that would be okay for a period of time.
	Is it normal to fill space for a species to fill an area?
	The population over expands and then it constricts.
	Well, it's literally mouse utopia that we're living through.
	Yeah, but we're not also arguing for a constant increase in population.
	It's just the total facility rate just says a population maintenance.
	And if you had a net outflow of migration and then British people having the kids they want, you wouldn't have a problem.
	Yep.
	Thomas says...
	Honestly, people don't want to talk about it, but it is going to be birth control that's the issue.
	Sorry.
	Also economics, but yes.
	Fuzzy Toaster says, Right-wing in academia?
	Police supporting the native white community?
	Cleaning up the streets?
	My god, it's a utopia!
	Where can I move to?
	I know, right?
	Just...
	When we win, academics will become right-wing.
	Jimbo says, Absolutely tiresome having a woke king who is reportedly going to give Sadiq Khan a knighthood.
	Well...
	I'd give him a prison sentence.
	Yeah, Charles doesn't nominate the people for the knighthood.
	The government doesn't.
	Yeah, so that's Starmer's doing.
	Yeah, so it's Starmer, and it's just essentially custom for him to just, you know...
	Oh, fuck.
	Or chop his head off.
	No.
	If he doesn't win...
	Because he's only three times as a mayor, isn't he?
	Sure.
	He's going to go straight into government.
	As a lord.
	Jesus Christ, Lord Sadiq.
	Yeah, they're going to do a David Cameron.
	Well, no, maybe.
	Well, no, he's going to be a knight rather than a lord.
	Yeah, that'll make it way easier to just...
	Kevin says, I think you're right about the drop-off in birth rates amongst British women.
	It was Boris's fault.
	He shouldn't have had that vasectomy.
	Bleach Demon says, This is a gross oversimplification, but feminism has destroyed the West.
	By every measurable goal of feminism has been achieved, we have sealed the destruction of Western civilization.
	I mean, that is definitely something that has happened.
	Unfortunately.
	Um, and we're out of time, but Charlie says, uh, between the various sex abuses, baby and mother names, as well as 30 years of constant liberal smears and attacks, is it any wonder the church has no standing in Irish life and as are empty and the highest number of men to join the priesthood in a decade was 21.
	Damn.
	I didn't realize Christianity was so under assault in Ireland.
	Again, St. Patrick's party, drive the snakes into the sea.
	It just works.
	It just so works.
	And with that, we will be back in half an hour for our Lads Hour on Pirates of the Caribbean, but otherwise, we'll be back at 1 o'clock on Monday for the regularly scheduled podcast.
