	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 1116, the 7th of March 2025.
	I'm your host Connor, joined by Harry...
	Hello!
	And Luca Johnson's back with us.
	Hello!
	Very good to see you, sir.
	And today we're going to be discussing whether or not Britain is an occupied nation.
	Spoiler alert.
	Yes, how hope not hate are going broke, because they've always been woke, and the fall of the House of Windsor.
	Seems that King Charles is looking a bit more like a Quilliam these days.
	I'm going to speculate whether or not he's converted, basically.
	As it's Friday, ladies and gentlemen, at three o'clock, this is what I've come back for, we have Lad's Hour.
	And to my absolute delight...
	We're discussing the Star Wars prequels.
	I've been looking forward to this.
	This is where the fun begins.
	Right, exactly.
	It's going to be a cacophony of memes.
	Expect a lot of that.
	Yes.
	And contentious debates, because I've got some real hot takes.
	And it's going to be us three Zoomers defending the quality of the prequels, as well as defending the glory of our galactic empire.
	Quite, exactly.
	Your new empire.
	Sorry, that's the last one for this podcast.
	We're going to be fighting the spiritual boomers.
	I don't believe you for a second there.
	Not remotely.
	So, if you are subscribed to Lotuses.com and you help us keep the lights on, you can go over and watch that live or on repeat if you're listening to this later on.
	But, without further ado, what about today's stories?
	It's no exaggeration to say that Britain is an occupied nation.
	You'd get that impression if you look around the aesthetics of the UK, spelled Y-O-O-K-A-Y, especially in what all of our politicians and state heads are calling the holy month of Ramadan.
	You'd be forgiven if you thought this was a Christian country, because they're certainly not treating it this way.
	But, if you'd like to rediscover your Christian roots, you can read my essay in this latest edition of Islander, and this is one of the physical products that we sell to keep the lights on over here as well.
	You can subscribe to lotuses.com for as little as £5 a month to get all of our premium content.
	We are demonetised completely on YouTube, including on the daily channel now, so we earn no revenue other than your direct support, and we hope that you get high-quality stuff like the essays in Islander from myself, Carl Benjamin, and a bunch of other contributors for your trouble, so...
	Do check that out.
	It's selling like hotcakes.
	We may have to print some more.
	Distribution is going much better than issue two as well.
	People have already got their copies.
	Including in the States, I believe.
	I don't know if they've got them in hand in the States, but I know that the distributor has got it over to the States to be delivered from there.
	And that's half the battle.
	Yes, very much so.
	If you're in Australia, we don't know when you'll be getting that.
	Hopefully you can read it upside down.
	Anyway, as we crack on with the fall of our great country, I thought we'd go through, and some of this was mentioned yesterday on the podcast that you were on, Harry, but I thought we'd go through the figureheads that are complicit in the transformation of Britain into a caliphate who are currently leading the government.
	And we'll begin with this wonderful clip of Muslims observing Ramadan in Windsor Castle.
	Sings of the song What was that?
	Sings of the song Sings of the song Alright, that's enough of that.
	I was the one crying.
	Yeah, so...
	That's in Windsor Palace.
	We are completely ideologically conquered.
	Now, if you're wondering how this happened...
	I mean, first of all, I did a...
	See this rather amusing tweet.
	We can't possibly let Putin invade Europe.
	Say the same people that have allowed this to happen.
	If you're wondering who's running these events, we have some details from the BBC. This amazing atmosphere at the Windsor Castle Iftar event.
	Someone phoned Kundidrup for the UK Twitter account.
	This says, on Sunday, the past Sunday, more than 350 people gathered in St. George's Hall in Windsor Castle to break their Ramadan fast.
	Simon Maples, the Visitor Operations Director at Windsor Castle...
	Quizzling said the King had been championing religious diversity and encouraging interfaith conversation for many years, something you'll be talking about later, Luca.
	The free event attended by all, I presume, though it looks conspicuously, well, capital D diverse, but not very diverse in terms of multiple people attending, but there you go.
	The free event was organised by a London-based charity, Ramadan Tent.
	Ramadan Tent Project, for those who don't know, have got lots of partners.
	This is their trustee page, but if you scroll down to where they've been operating, there's a very interesting list of people that have hosted them.
	As you're just scrolling, I can tell I have so much in common with these people.
	Mm, quite, yeah.
	They feel that we're really strengthening the country at our expense.
	So some of their partners include the Royal Albert Hall, the British Library, Westminster Abbey, Bradford.
	Bradford.
	Just the city of Bradford.
	Because, of course.
	The cousin marriage capital of the UK. The Victoria and Albert Museum.
	Shakespeare's Globe, because I'm sure he'd be happy to see that happening.
	The FA. I don't know if you've seen the rubbish that they're putting on there these days, so...
	Didn't they do non-binary?
	They do incredibly diverse.
	Joan of Arc.
	Yeah, I'm sure Shakespeare would have been delighted if you were to transport him.
	The Mayor of London, of course.
	And Bradford and Coventry Cathedral.
	So...
	The Cathedral?
	The Cathedrals.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, and Camden Council.
	Camden Council, by the way, adopted the Islamophobia definition, and they said that to characterize Muslims as sex groomers should be illegal.
	And Cambridge Central Mosque, because that's what Cambridge was missing.
	Oh, there were other parts of Cambridge as well, like the university itself was partnering with it.
	We've now got Saudi Arabian or UAE. Ambassadors and members that have said, oh, there's basically like a thing stationed at Cambridge, which is essentially an Islamist training camp that you guys just haven't banned.
	We've banned it in our country, in the UAE, because we know exactly what types of Muslim Brotherhood guys are running that.
	You idiots let it operate.
	They were like, not on our watch.
	Well, the Conservative government were told in 2015, hey, ban the Muslim Brotherhood, and guess what?
	They didn't ban the Muslim Brotherhood.
	Wonder why.
	Speaking of Parliament betraying us, there was an Iftar in Parliament as well.
	Yeah, that's the main members of our government.
	For those who don't know some of these figures, I mean, obviously, Keir Starmer's up front, grinning as his country is sold down the river.
	This is the Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, who we'll be talking about in a moment.
	This is Sarah Owen MP, a sort of obscure figure, but we're going to talk about her in a second, who has been...
	Sort of nexus of all of this for the last how many years?
	And she's quite the quiet power broke in the background.
	And of course, Wes Streeting here, the former Stonewall activist who is now the Health Secretary and eyeing up Keir Starmer's shoulder blades to plunge a knife into it eventually.
	Brutus in waiting, Wes Streeting, who is also an interesting figure.
	Despite being a gay man and self-professed Christian in this thread, a bit wobbly, he's a key figure in the Islamisation of the UK. So let's start with Sarah Owen, because she's just a Muslim activist.
	This breaks in Arab news.
	Love getting my headlines from here.
	She wants to criminalise the possession of an image of a woman, if she usually wears a headscarf, so hijab, niqab, burqa, without wearing it on your phone.
	And she compares it to possessing child porn.
	Yeah.
	So if you have an image of a woman without her hijab on, on your phone, you will be treated as if you have child porn.
	Which I presume means that you won't actually spend any time in prison, given how lenient the sentences are for people like Hugh Edwards who have Class A material.
	A suspended sentence.
	But that's not what she's going for, really.
	No.
	No.
	So what she's saying is that she wants it to be worse than owning...
	Yes, and given the sentencing guidelines, which we'll mention in a second, the kinds of people that will be prosecuted for this and actually see jail time for it will also be ethnically and religiously two-tier.
	This is a report from the Women and Equalities Committee, Abolish, and it says, Abuse can also include material that is considered culturally intimate for the victim, such as a Muslim woman being pictured with her hijab.
	Non-consensual intimate image abuse, which this is what's being classified as, is a deeply personal crime that can have life-changing and life-threatening consequences.
	This ensures non-consensual intimate images receive the same legal treatment as child sexual abuse material.
	If you think I'm exaggerating, or if you think she's exaggerating in her presentation of the bill,
	And it says, So,
	let's put it this way.
	If Elon Musk refuses to enforce this law, she is saying that X should be shut down.
	As if it had child porn on it.
	Yeah, so we've got just a blasphemy law governing our social media companies here in the UK. JD Vance was obviously right, and Keir Starmer lied to his face.
	Now, I can't help but notice this just happened a couple of weeks after this.
	So the police retook a mugshot because an ISIS terrorist was unhappy that it was taken without her wearing a niqab.
	I mean, the original mugshot's here.
	Just so we can show her face, by the way, because one, that's not been brought into law yet.
	Two, she's a terrorist.
	You should know what she looks like.
	She's an awful human being.
	The police decided, on the advice of her KC, her human rights lawyer barrister, this caused her considerable distress, so we're concerned about the distress of the terrorist, and they decided to do a mugshot with her dressed like a ninja.
	Has Cundley got this one yet?
	Because this is very UK. This is very, very UK. Get on it.
	Some details here.
	Have you seen this woman?
	I've seen a couple dozen of her down the road, actually.
	I'm pretty sure I had about eight of her on a chessboard once.
	So this is Farishta Jami.
	She's 36. She was found guilty of terrorism offences for planning to fly to Afghanistan to join Islamic State.
	She's a mother of four, and she planned for her children to become martyrs for Islamic State, and was described in court as an observant Muslim.
	This is something that Palestinians do, by the way.
	So what they do is they have at least two sons.
	They have one for the family, one for the cause.
	So they raise one of them to be suicide bombers.
	This is the culture that we're importing from Muslim countries.
	How do you reckon they pick?
	Do you reckon it's like eeny, meeny, miny mode?
	Do they have to go through a series of challenges?
	Or is it just look of the draw?
	Pull straws, pull detonators.
	Pull pins!
	It's like the magpie, Ryan.
	One for sorrow, two for explosions.
	So, this is Michelle Healy, KC. She was prosecuting.
	She told the court that Jameen made plans to take her family to Afghanistan to join Islamic State.
	She saved £1,200, probably in social housing funds, to fund the flights, and also shared extremist material on social media.
	Very concerned about cracking down on photos of this woman without her hijab on social media.
	Not so much about Islamic State propaganda.
	Sarah Owen.
	West Midlands Police originally released this image, here, just to go back to it, showing her full face and hair, but then the second photo that showed her in a niqab after Matthew Brooke, her barrister, told Lester Crown Court that she had experienced considerable distress because of the photograph showing her full face.
	Reports of the verdicts yesterday used an image of my client released by the police in which her head wasn't covered.
	The police are going to release a different image, we request that that is used instead.
	Don't care.
	Didn't ask.
	Plus, you're a terrorist.
	Sorry, she's got a nose piercing.
	It looks like she's got a nose piercing.
	Lol.
	Did she have to take the niqab off for the nose piercing?
	If your face is covered 95% of the time, what's the point in having a nose piercing?
	Don't ask questions.
	That's the most confusing part about all of this apparently.
	Maybe, maybe, and this is just a suggestion, right?
	This is just, uh, maybe she didn't want her face out there and said, oh no, I'm so distressed.
	Oh, quick, get me with my niqab on.
	Are you implying that a terrorist might...
	Game the system and lie so that her face is not out there.
	Well, that depends.
	Is it illegal for me to suggest that?
	I don't think so.
	She's been convicted.
	Oh, all right.
	Okay, then.
	Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.
	It's so difficult to tell in this conversation.
	Yeah, it really is.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But meanwhile, you've got Led by Donkeys, Hope Not Hate.
	Like, this is fine.
	The problem is the people with a problem with this.
	Yes, exactly.
	Well, it's funny you mentioned Hope Not Hate, actually, because who is Sarah Owen?
	Sarah Owen was the vice chair of Hope Not Hate's parliamentary group.
	It's all coming together.
	Yeah, quite.
	So, she did this.
	She registered on the 14th of September 2020, and then this ended on the 31st of July 2023. What do you notice about that date?
	What happened late July?
	What, 2020?
	Oh, sorry.
	2024, I'm thinking.
	I was going to say 2024 is the year that you might be thinking.
	Yeah, I am thinking of that.
	The reason I'm thinking of that is because in August 2024, she did this.
	12th of August, 2024, midst of the riots, the MP for Luton North invited Hope Not Hate to Parliament.
	Now, the reason this is archived is because she's now deleted this.
	Big surprise.
	How curious.
	Perhaps it had something to do with Nick Lowell, the head of Hope Not Hate, repeatedly inciting violence during the summer riots, having never been held accountable for this.
	Now, Hope Not Hate, as we'll be discussing soon, are dying in the doldrums since the cancellation of USAID, but they're getting in-kind contributions by a government willing to do their bidding, with an Islamophobia blasphemy council.
	Yet again, occupied nation, particularly by Islamic activists in government institutions.
	And this is a blasphemy council set up...
	Under the Department for Communities Leveling Up and Housing by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, you know, the same woman that had a struggle session in a mosque right before the election, saying, please, I'll make a ceasefire in Gaza my top priority, because that matters to northern constituents, doesn't it?
	This was originally going to use the all-party parliamentary group on British Muslims definition, which is, and I quote, Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.
	Now, it's...
	It's purposefully self-referential.
	Sunni Muslimness?
	Shia Muslimness?
	Just general Muslimness?
	Just Musliminess-ness.
	Platonic Muslimness.
	Ah.
	Yes.
	It's the same sort of thing as, you know, a trans woman is a woman who identifies as a woman, or Fraser Nelson's definition of the English.
	It's purposely self-referential just to catch all us critics in a broad enough net and ensnare us.
	What's interesting is it was written originally by Wes Streeting in Hope Not Hate.
	So, you would expect them to have used this definition.
	The problem is the Parliamentary Undersecretary for Faith said it kind of violates the Equality Act, so we're not going to use this.
	Instead, we're just going to, rather than abandon the attempt to criminalise Islamic blasphemy, we're just going to create a new definition that can get you persecuted for it instead.
	One of the members of this council was a chap called Kari Asim, as I've mentioned on this podcast before.
	He's a senior imam at a mosque in Leeds, and he's the trustee of Hope Not Hate's charitable organisation.
	So even if they're losing money, they're deeply embedding themselves into the Labour government.
	Now let's look at who will enforce this definition.
	This is Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who is at the Iftar in Parliament, and she's tweeted out, there will never be a two-tier sentencing approach under the Labour government.
	Why would she feel the need to tweet this out?
	Because I was told by Raikou, the Home Office's propaganda department, that two-tier policing is a conspiracy theory.
	I was told by the same thing, by the way, by Sarah Khan, who...
	Sister who used to lead Raikou in a report with Hope Not Hate last December that she issued saying it's a conspiracy theory.
	Why would she possibly need to say this?
	Well, I mean, for one, let's be accurate.
	This is not too typical.
	This is two-tier sentencing.
	Yes.
	Completely different.
	And that's because there were new sentencing guidelines recommending that people of religious and ethnic minorities just get off easy.
	Just get it off easy.
	And women as well.
	Yeah, it's written in here somewhere.
	Here we go!
	One or more of the following may apply to the offender.
	If you're female, if you're from an ethnic minority, cultural minority, or a faith minority community.
	So if you're black, trans, or Muslim, or a woman, you might have a reduced sentence.
	Cultural minority as well.
	Cultural minority.
	So if I start calling myself pagan...
	Like, I worship Woden and I go out to the woods on the weekends to conduct rituals.
	That's a cultural minority.
	No, you'll be put in the state of hate report, I'm afraid.
	It's remarkable as well, isn't it, though, about cultural minority.
	It's like, well, if you're such a cultural minority, why do you have such cultural dominance?
	You have such legal, social, and cultural power, despite being, what, 6%, 7%, 8% of the population?
	Something like that.
	Yeah, it's funny how said oppressed minorities have the entire legal system, the weapons of the state, and the funds of the taxpayer reconfigured around meeting their sectarian needs.
	Almost like the majority of this country are being put under the boot heel of the state for their benefit.
	So, Shabana Mahmood denounced this, even though she's been funding the Sentencing Council set up as another quango under the Tory government, of course.
	Her...
	One of her assistants was sitting in on the meeting and raised zero objections, and she's saying she won't adopt this, but I think that she actually doesn't want to adopt this because this is just saying quite a part out loud.
	It's aroused so much ire that they can't defend it.
	However, it is funny because one of her colleagues in the Labour frontbench actually recommended this.
	Turns out this comes from the Lammy report.
	This entire thing comes from David Lammy's report.
	Yeah.
	So the Council went ahead with the changes, quote, despite being told by magistrates during a consultation on the reforms the guidance was biased and conflicts with equality in sentencing, because the Council said the changes were influenced by several sources of research, including the 2017 David Lammy report.
	The review found widespread racial discrimination in the justice system...
	They've been finding that for decades, and apparently the more you keep finding it, the less anything is done about it to fix it, even though they keep changing all of the rules so that minorities can just get away with things.
	I'm just gonna go off the comments in, I think it was 2010, by noted racist David Lammy that says that it's mainly black boys doing all the stabbings and it's because they don't have dads.
	I think that would be behind the discrepancies in sentencing.
	That's not true, they're not black boys, they're just boys and men.
	Yes, yes, just men.
	Men from no particular place or origin.
	I believe the actual term is drill wrappers.
	Andrew Tate fans.
	In the review, Lammy said sentencing decisions needed greater scrutiny and judges must be equipped with more information about the offender's background.
	He recommended greater use of pre-sentence reports, which is the measure that the community sentence rather than the custodial sentence that's being recommended for...
	Black trans Muslims.
	Which are drawn up by the probation service to provide judges with information about the character and circumstances of the offender.
	So basically, all Labour's work is coming to fruition over years of working for Hope Not Hate or publishing race-grifting reports that say that we should have anti-racist policing systems.
	Read.
	Racist against white people.
	And they're saying they're not doing it exactly while it's all happening.
	This is very unpopular.
	It's the reason they run from this.
	So YouGov did some polling about this, and the magical 72% came out against...
	It's been a while since I've seen the 72%, actually.
	Yeah, I know.
	It was only in the pandemic.
	But this time, I think it's, well, probably...
	On the side of legitimate, because most sane-thinking people think, yeah, I don't think if someone's black but they stab, I don't know, untold numbers of children, they shouldn't go to prison.
	That would be weird to do that, wouldn't it?
	Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.
	But it doesn't really matter what public opinion is, because it turns out that we have a state broadcaster as well that's really interested in propagandising us using our own taxpayer money.
	The BBC are doing a migrant series this week.
	This is about Swindon.
	Absolute post-apocalyptic hellhole that Carl has stationed this particular studio in.
	And this is just them interviewing migrants living in Swindon.
	Here's an Indian woman, here's a man who's trying to bring his wife over from Kenya, I think it is.
	And here's a Latvian woman.
	I'm sure these people are probably, you know, they could be perfectly nice.
	Alright, Latvian women can stay.
	I thought you might say that.
	Oh, you've gone for the Berlusconi approach to immigration.
	Yeah, the Berlusconi approach, alright.
	This is the Ali G immigration policy.
	Well, she said, Swindon is quite multicultural and convenient.
	We're just blessed to have so much countryside around.
	We were joking off-air that we need to start convincing lots of the migrants that the English countryside is populated with gins and only a sufficient level of English people with stone churches will keep them at bay.
	I'm beginning to be in favour of reintroducing the wolves to the English countryside.
	Purely for the sake of rewilding, we need to return to the roots of our ancestors, etc, etc.
	Yes.
	Well, here's another article in the series.
	How migrant workers are saving the NHS from crisis.
	Now, again, remember, if you're paying your TV licence fee, which if you don't watch live TV, you don't need to do, you're paying for this.
	You're paying for...
	You're gaslighting, and it is gaslighting because there's some facts I don't mention here, I'm just going to rattle them off.
	95% of visas every single year goes to migrants who are net tax detriments, according to the Centre for Policy Studies.
	We're all known for Carl Williams on that data.
	Only 3% of annual immigrants are doctors and nurses.
	Bear in mind, we cap the number of medical school places in the UK for UK applicants because we don't want to devalue the profession.
	Bringing in lots of foreign doctors with lower quality training who commit, according to far-right rag...
	The Guardian, mass industrial-scale qualifications fraud, and commit more medical malpractice.
	An entire division of interpreters on hand.
	Yeah, funnily enough, that's not devaluing the profession, but too many overqualified white British doctors devaluing the profession.
	Oh, and by the way, as for health and social care, Zimbabwean health and social care workers were outnumbered by dependents 10 to 1, Nigerians 4 to 1, and Ghanaians are comfy 2 to 1. And by the way, all of those health and social care workers are, of course, on taxpayer cash.
	So they're still draining more than they're ever putting in.
	So which group were outnumbered by their dependents?
	Zimbabweans.
	It was so much better when it was Rhodesia.
	Anyway, point being, none of that's mentioned here, and Aylmer, who's a fantastic anon that you should be following on Twitter, one of the best British anons, many people are saying, has documented this series, and it turns out that only one of them, one of the articles, might be charitably characterised as critical of migration.
	The rest of them are just all puff pieces saying why you should have infinity immigrants.
	I'll do an interview.
	If they want a variety of perspectives, I'll go on.
	Go on, bring me on, BBC! You won't be able to print half of it, but it would be very, very amusing.
	You can have the police standing by for the end of the interview, it's alright.
	The point being, this is all being done to us by the police, by the most unpopular government in British history, by the taxpayer-funded state broadcaster.
	It's all being imposed on us top-down, despite 9 in 10 constituencies wanting to reduce migration, and that's when they were underestimating net migration by a factor of 10. They thought it was 70,000 rather than at least 700,000 to nearly a million net a year.
	And we are being ideologically captured by Islamic activists in all of our top institutions.
	As of yet, there's no party that either has the plan to do anything about it, nor a viable path to power in order to do something about it.
	So I suggest, given the crown is in the gutter and covered in muck, someone picks it up real quick.
	Right, we've got some rumble rants.
	Hopefully it cheers up for the next one, but Dragon Lady Chris.
	For $2, I'm in the States.
	I ordered Islander 3 last Friday, and according to the package tracker, it should be arriving on Monday.
	Excellent.
	Well done.
	Glad to hear us.
	Neo-Unrealist.
	Iftar at Windsor, eh?
	Did His Majesty the King, defender of the faith, host a public Ash Wednesday celebration marking the start of Lent?
	Did the King of Saudi Arabia hold such an event at his palace?
	I wouldn't hold one's breath.
	And Ram Shakalotta.
	Is this the thin end of a women-not-wearing-full-face-coverings-is-indecent-exposure wedge?
	Could be in certain areas.
	I don't think it's going to be state policy yet, but I don't think Suella Braveman or J.D. Vance were exaggerating when they joked that the UK could become a caliphate.
	Anyway, take it away, Harry.
	Alright, so Hope Not Hate are not looking good right now.
	I know that they never look good, but their finances aren't looking good at the moment, according to a recent report from Guido Fawkes, which I'll go into in just a few minutes.
	First, though, we've got Islander 3, which is a beautiful new edition of our Islander magazine series.
	It's limited edition, absolutely spectacular, it's brilliant.
	So if you can support us, which you should be able to, because what else are you doing with your money?
	Then you should go onto the website and spend £14.99 to get it sent to you, which will not have any issues this time because the distributors are doing a much better job already.
	We promise.
	We promise it's all going alright.
	So the first thing, before I talk about the financial woes that they seem to be finding themselves in, is that the Hope Not Hate, State of Hate report came out this year.
	Now, we normally kind of look forward to these, but...
	Increasingly, they've been getting worse and worse year on year.
	It's like the Oscars, then.
	I mean, the Oscars have always been terrible, let's be perfectly honest.
	Like, if you scroll down to...
	Some of the pages in here, some of them, when you actually get down past- where they do a- they do a roundup of the year's events where they're like, oh, mainly focusing on reform.
	Has reform been reformed because they let us bully them into deselecting a load of candidates?
	Seems to be the main thrust of it.
	But when you get down to the actual descriptions of the organizations and groups in here- I love that Matt Goodwin got like four pages.
	Well, yeah, yeah.
	There's us.
	Have I gone past?
	Keep going up, keep going up, keep going!
	Here we go!
	There we are.
	Most of this is just copied and pasted from the last year's report, which itself was copied and pasted from the year before that.
	Like, if you just look here, right, Carl is still just a misogynistic influencer.
	He's so much more than that these days.
	But the actual reports that they put out outside of this, if you go on their website like the one that was done on...
	You, for instance, following the Liz Truss interview, is far more acidic than anything that they put in here regarding us.
	Although...
	That was weak.
	Yeah, even that was quite weak.
	But even though I have made my first appearance, gentlemen...
	I am now part of the based club, and I was included in this paragraph here, which was talking about the range of different contributors across the platform, saying, including Bo Dade, a reform candidate, sacked after Hope Not Hate, exposed his article, calling for the deportation of a foreign plague, and Harry Robinson, who's called for the raising of a white racial consciousness in Britain.
	Connor Tomlinson, who has said the great replacement conspiracy theory is, quote-unquote, real.
	see previous segment.
	Interviewed the former Prime Minister Liz Truss on the website last year.
	And speaking of the Great Replacement being definitely not real, there was a recent article from the Centre for Migration Control which they published the findings of on Twitter saying that one third of the population of this country will be first or second generation migrant by 2035, 10 years from now.
	So, quick thing, for YouTube, those two words that were just bleeped Harry said, the big swap.
	Synonyms for that.
	Number two, if you read Renaud Camus' essay on the big swap, he's literally just speaking to a synagogue full of Jews, saying, don't vote for liberal immigration policy, because you will soar off the branch you're sitting on.
	I've not read the big swap.
	Is that what it actually is?
	They're quoting my segment where I'm explaining that.
	I didn't know.
	He spoke to a Parisian Jewish forum as a gay former Marxist saying, don't import Islamic antisemitism.
	Well, that's the entire purpose of the Great Repair.
	That's so funny to me because I read an article from everybody's favourite insane leftist outlet, The Forward, the other day, that was talking about how the AFD making gains in Germany was the return of the big evil moustache man.
	And it ends with saying that liberal Jews need to continue to vote for basically open borders, multicultural projects.
	This is bad.
	This is bad for you.
	These people hate you.
	Why can these liberals not get that through their head?
	It's just ridiculous.
	This is why you've got like the likes of Yoram Hazoni and Paul Moreland and Eric Kaufman coming out and saying, yeah, that's a really bad idea.
	You shouldn't do that.
	Because even if you're not, if you're religious Jew like Hazoni, or if you're not like Kaufman, Importing loads of people from the Third World who believe that on Judgment Day the rocks and trees will come alive to kill you, they're not going to make that distinction.
	It does seem quite a short-sighted, no matter their ideological beliefs, if they're liberals or not, it does seem somewhat short-sighted.
	You can't have a liberal society if you've imported a load of people who murder you.
	Yeah, that was Camus' entire point.
	I think it's a strong point.
	It's a point that Constantine Kissins made.
	Like, so it's completely innocuous, and so...
	I mean, hey, if you guys want that to be the outcome, that's on you, I guess.
	So that's something to look forward to in the next 10 years.
	years but just going back to this as well i don't know the exact page but if you if in the earlier sections when they're talking about the activities that they've been up to earlier on in the year there's a few points where they basically talk about how they went into particular council areas and particular constituencies
	found the kinds of uh found the representatives who had been putting themselves forwards as candidates for councils and for mp positions and uh they found the ones who represented the best interests of them and then just smeared them as being far right and made sure that labor mps got in instead oh there was the ex Bose that Jack Hadfield did, yes, of Simon Danchuk in Rotherham, wasn't it?
	They worked with the local Labour Party to attack Simon Danchuk, and again, faced no repercussions for this essentially in-kind campaign contribution.
	Yeah, well, the funny thing about Hope Not Hate, for our American viewers who may not be as familiar with them, is that they are supposed to be a non-governmental organization.
	But they seem to have a lot of ties to the government, particularly the Labour government now, and as we'll get on later on in the article, seem to be able to procure false passports with no legal repercussions and use those false passports to travel internationally, which means that they're either in touch seem to be able to procure false passports with no legal repercussions and use Which is a crime.
	Which is a crime.
	Which I've reported to the Met Police and they've weirdly had no follow-up, and at one point they said that my crime report didn't exist.
	Or...
	Or they worked with the government to procure these passports.
	Are you going to mention the likelihood of the latter in a bit?
	Well, I'm going to refer entirely to your comment that you left on Twitter.
	We'll leave to that then.
	But the good news is that their new reports for the donations that they've been receiving, interestingly, right after USAID gets cut...
	Is that they are not looking good financially.
	So they took in just £417,000 in donations and legacies in their most recent year of reporting, which was down from £715,000 the year before, and over £1 million the year before that.
	And as a result, they're having to resort to, instead of offering full contracts for people...
	Excuse me.
	They're offering short fixed-term contracts as little as four months in some occasions.
	The group was hiring an event administrator to start this month on a four-month fixed-term contract.
	Since November, they've also advertised for a researcher, content officer, and local campaigns organizer.
	All of which were fixed term.
	So we must point out that this coincides with the cuts of USAID, but this is for the previous financial year.
	So it may be that they're just ramping down operations because they're so ingratiated with the government that they don't need to do public-facing campaigns anymore.
	However, next year's financial returns will be fascinating after the cuts to USAID, and the Colour Revolution slush fund has dried up.
	You're absolutely right to point that out, so thank you very much for that.
	So now that it's looking like even before USAID has been cut, they were winding down operations, let's go over some of the totally not election interference that they'd been up to for a very long time, particularly over the past year leading up to the summer elections in Britain.
	So first of all, they targeted us directly.
	We've had a number of articles written about us over the past year.
	Connor got his one over Liz Truss.
	Very good.
	Which also meant, it's more about me.
	It was more about me.
	It was more about me.
	You are, in fact, the office liability.
	Than anything else.
	Oh, cheers, mate.
	Love you too.
	Thanks for that one.
	And this was one where they were talking about Bo when he was still a member of Reform.
	Obviously, they deselected him because of this.
	Because Richard Tice decided that the best way to select for candidates was to see, who do my enemies hate?
	I'll get rid of them.
	Well, as Gwaine Towler has said, they did formally, in UKIP in 2014, use Hope Not Hate to vet their candidates before.
	So I think they misplaced a severe amount of misguided trust in this communist front group.
	They are communists, by the way.
	Matthew Collins, former member of the National Front, 2013 got up at a Hope Not Hate event and said, Comrades, Hope Not Hate, you are our Red Army.
	Before a USSR symbol.
	Red Army, by the way, raped and murdered their way across post-war Germany.
	By the way, it should be noted, you know who Dan Hodges of the Mail has been going on a complete meltdown?
	Same individual.
	Yeah, he was Hope Not Hate's point of contact for UKIP in 2014. Oh, brilliant.
	That makes a lot of sense.
	Amazing, amazing.
	And he writes for the Mail on Sunday, doesn't he?
	That noted conservative publication.
	So, what they did with...
	I hope not hate can reveal that grand unveiling, breaking news.
	We read an article.
	Bose article.
	Yeah, Bose article.
	That anyone could read at any time.
	Well, sadly now, of course, it's archived because they took it down.
	But at the time, it was a policy roadmap, which they describe as extreme, for reforms policies regarding repatriation of people who shouldn't be in this country, which was just one of their policies.
	Obviously, they've got the net zero policy that they're going for now.
	But even if they were to go with a net zero, if you're going to be sending illegal criminals back who might have brought their families over, people who've overstayed visas, they might all have their families.
	I think it's particularly fair...
	For Beau to point out that it's going to be messy, as he did in the article, families crying and shrieking and being violent and destructive when they are being detained, also presumably being highlighted by the BBC propaganda.
	Well, this is no different every time that they, you know, put the minority in the most charitable light, the most sympathetic light to playing your heartstrings, the violin, the slow piano music's there in the background.
	They do this all the time.
	When Beau said in the article, he said hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of people must be returned home, we know...
	But in 2017, there were at least 1.2 million legal visa overstays.
	And that was before the Boris wave.
	So yeah, it's going to be millions of illegal criminals that need to be sent home.
	And Beau's not relishing in this.
	In the article, he says this is just one more unfortunate horror which leftists and globalists and traitors have forced upon us.
	It was actually a very, very reasonable article in terms of, okay, practically speaking, if we enact these policies...
	What's it going to look like?
	Apparently, hope not hate, of course, because they would, said that was too much.
	Reform then went, oh no, we can't have people writing about how we'll carry out our own policies.
	Out.
	This is the problem, right?
	Taking Hope Not Hate at their word, which people are doing increasingly less than the last year, and I think actually my chapter of trust broke the camel's back on that regard, and then the riots that immediately ensued where they made up stories about acid attacks and the other scandals.
	Nick Lowell's going out of his way to stoke tensions.
	Yeah, well the problem with this is if you take Hope Not Hate as a barometer for what is and isn't extreme, they're playing Mott and Bailey, because what they actually think is extreme is having borders at all.
	Drawing distinctions between cultures.
	They're an extreme communist organisation.
	Yeah, they are a front group for open borders Marxism.
	And so, if you take their standard on anything on what is and isn't extreme, you're already doing their bidding.
	So just cut them off entirely.
	And if it does prove to be true that, in fact, if we find out next year that they were funded by USAID, then that means how long has the deep state of America been slowly...
	Neddling in UK politics.
	Yeah, to break us, to break any sense of cohesion, national identity, to erode us, to rot us like a thousand cuts.
	We already know that at least in 2019, I think the mayor of London's office gave for, I don't know the exact reasons, gave money to hope, not hate.
	Home office under the Conservative government, under Michael Gove, were giving hundreds of thousands and allowing Hope Not Hate to come in and brief...
	Home Office civil servants on the state of extremism in the UK. I think they gave him £425,000 cumulatively.
	Interesting.
	Definitely just another NGO though.
	Non-government affiliate.
	They just happen to be an NGO with an entire government apparatus attached to them.
	To carry out their will.
	With a number of former members that are now part of the Labour Party as MPs.
	An explicit parliamentary working group.
	Yes.
	They did this a few more times and then bragged about it on social media.
	They took little clips of Richard Tice kind of squirming on radio interviews saying, oh, we'll take more care in the future to avoid getting embarrassing candidates seated.
	So thank you very much, Richard Tice, for immediately cooking.
	And then right before this, he'd posted out saying, oh, this is a superb article by Douglas Murray.
	It's so frustrating.
	Why were you listening to them, Richard?
	It's really frustrating, because one, reform should just take Douglas Murray's line on basically everything, because if Douglas Murray sounds stronger than you, you're losing, right?
	Douglas Murray occupies a place of prestige with even wet Tories, so if he's making it permissible, just run to catch up, and Douglas is way out ahead of reform, not Rupert Lowe, on migration policy at the moment, and he's where the public is.
	And secondly, in this article, Douglas said...
	Hope Not Hate contacted him, because he's a prominent figure, and said, look, we're going to put you in our state of hate report, but if you do this, this, and this for us, we won't feature you.
	And so he just published it, because they tried to use mafia intimidation tactics.
	So Richard knows that what they're doing is mafia intimidation tactics against reform to see reform capsize.
	They're not trying to make...
	On behalf of Labour as well.
	Yeah, on behalf of even more extreme forces than Labour, but Labour as an official party force, yeah.
	And it's just, they're not trying to make your candidates better.
	They're trying to see you felt.
	They would rather see you dead than victorious, so just don't listen to them, ever.
	Yeah, and on the Labour connection, again, there was this controversy where some of their activists were found just actively campaigning for Labour candidates.
	Again, if you're claiming to be some kind of bipartisan, anti-extremist organisation who doesn't have a horse in the race at all, then you might do...
	Better to not have most of your activists be just outright Labour partisans.
	So that was interesting.
	Oh, this was the one I did mention.
	It was Rochdale, not Rotherham.
	Yeah, yeah, Rochdale.
	I think that's why I was a little bit confused when you mentioned.
	They also have gone after Substack, probably the most principled of all of the free speech platforms, because I've never heard of anybody being deplatformed off of Substack.
	Yeah, them and Rumble, yes.
	I've never heard of anybody being deplatformed off of them, but because of the fact that people like Aporia magazine, who are literally just autistic-centrist nerds who like talking about biology, and Ed Dutton, who is also...
	He suffers many things.
	But they talk about subjects that Hope Not Hate don't like, like the differences between human populations.
	You know, Ed Dutton has his own spin on that.
	Courier basically do it in a very value-neutral way.
	Too much.
	Too much, because they are hack-partisans who do not want people to be able to research particular interests and particular subjects, and so they have to go after an entire platform.
	Let's just say, for sake of argument, that these are the most hard, biological essential racists ever to exist.
	They're not, okay?
	But let's just say they are, right?
	What is Hope Not Hate proposing in the opposite?
	Again, we always have to say compared to what?
	Hope Not Hate is saying you have to abolish the ability to distinguish between people's families, relationship types.
	You can't have value judgments about cousin marriage.
	The abolition of pattern recognition.
	Yeah, you can't have value judgments about cultural difference.
	Everyone is just one big grey goo, which is actually what Ramon Camus was complaining about, is the ideology of the big swap.
	Everyone's just a fungible, interchangeable economic unit that is just...
	Separated by geographic happenstance.
	So that is the most extreme view, completely ahistorical anachronistic view, to say that every human being is indistinguishable and fundamentally identical, and so you can just drab and drop them anywhere to make sure your spreadsheet balances.
	Again, hope not hate.
	Demented extremists, so don't listen to them on is and isn't an extreme.
	It goes against their extreme leftist progressive worldview, and therefore Substack has to compromise its principles.
	Thankfully they didn't.
	Unlike some, Substack did not cook to hope not hate publishing meany words about them, even though...
	I'm gonna have to start using it more then.
	Well, it's a really great platform.
	Honestly, there's so much good stuff on there.
	Even though, at the same time, due to a Hope Not Hate investigation, one of the big funders of an organisation called the Human Diversity Foundation, which includes people from Aporia, included, well, they said that it included Ed Dutton, but Ed Dutton went out of his way to say, I'm not receiving money in conjunction with this organisation.
	So these people, again, most of the people looking into this, they are not hateful extremists, they are not radicals, they are nerds.
	They are big nerds who just like this one particular area of specialty for them.
	So they were being funded by a Seattle businessman called Andrew Conru, who'd given them more than one million dollars.
	And because of this report, their investigations, he decided to pull away from them and pull their funding.
	So they have gone out of their way to actively negatively affect people's ability to receive funding for specialist areas of research, which is completely...
	So I do know there was one fellow involved in that, because I covered this on my show when that heinous documentary came out and related to that past...
	Well, this one.
	Yeah, that complete damp squib.
	There was one chap writing for one of these publications who had said some questionable things about the age of consent.
	But that wasn't their core complaint.
	That's obviously terrible.
	That's not related to human biodiversity research, though.
	I think he was one of the ones writing for it, but that wasn't what Hope Not Hate were complaining about.
	This is the point.
	Well, they wouldn't.
	I can neither comment on that at all.
	But, point being, they weren't complaining about anything that was...
	Let's say, properly morally objectionable, they were saying that some people have a different theory on the foundations of cultural difference to them.
	They're not entirely into the environmental theory of human intelligence.
	They're not blanks latest.
	That's fine.
	And look, I haven't read Aporia, I don't think, ever, because I hadn't heard about them before this.
	I don't know what they believe beyond that one dodgy guy.
	I've read quite a few of their articles on Substack.
	Again...
	They're just nerds.
	They're not political extremists.
	They are dead centrists.
	You know the way that there are some of those accounts on Twitter, like Io, that talk about differences in crime statistics, for instance.
	But outside of that one area of specialist research, he's a complete damp squib centrist.
	Isn't Io a woman?
	Is it?
	Yeah, I think it is, yeah.
	Okay, autistic women are included in this as well.
	Shockingly enough, but...
	But outside of that, they're not political extremists.
	They're basically saying we need to take the facts of reality...
	Which we are trying to scientifically investigate, acknowledge them as reality, and use them to formulate political policy that benefits everybody.
	They're not saying, well, if these people commit more crimes, then we just expel them from our country, or we use eugenics to get rid of them altogether.
	They're saying, well, we can try to use policy to improve their circumstances as well, in a way that benefits everybody.
	That should be a non-negotiable thing, except Hope Not Hate are demented communists, so they'll never buy into that.
	Yeah, the other thing they did was the undercover exposing the far right documentary, which at the time we were all kind of excited for.
	The bravest documentary.
	Pathetic LARPing.
	I was so excited for this when it was coming out because I thought, oh my god, am I going to get mentioned in there?
	Who are they going to go over?
	I know I saw Roar Egg Nationalist and BAP and people like that all going, like, fingers crossed I'm in there somewhere.
	And no, what was it?
	Well, Josh did a big thread on it.
	Most of it was, there was a little bit about the...
	activist infiltrating the Human Diversity Foundation conference and it took up three minutes a lot of it was on Tommy Robinson so it felt really kind of 2012 in that way and the rest of it was about Nick Lowell's being afraid of getting a suntan oh yeah he was hiding in a tent like a vampire yeah he was afraid because he's half Mauritian that if he got a suntan on holiday one time that he would go back and get beaten up for being too dark don't worry Nick none of us would have been able to tell
	we all just think you look like Penfold from Danger Mouse yeah yeah He just...
	God, odious little tongue.
	And again, in relation to the activist who went out and conducted the journalistic research on this place, it was...
	Mr. Harry Shookman.
	Yes, who had this...
	Yeah, so Harry Shuckman posed as one Christopher Charles Morton to the subjects of the documentary.
	Now, these subjects were not actually under investigation for anything criminal, as far as I know.
	This includes...
	Ed Dutton and also Simone and Malcolm Collins and various people in the pro-natal movement.
	People conducting research and activism for movements that Hope Not Hate don't like.
	Yes, and so this is technically illegal.
	Under the Official Documents Act of 2010, you can't manufacture and masquerade around using an official government document.
	So...
	Either they procured a pretty convincing fake, because I've seen the non-redacted blurred out version.
	I only blurred it out in case there were some details that crossed over someone's real identity.
	Either they procured a convincing fake from a criminal enterprise, and so they're funding organised crime, or they had help from the state with this, which is why they have evaded any investigation as to the criminal nature of this.
	And what suggests this might be the case is that Harry Shuckman's dad worked for the BBC and had intelligence contacts when he was a 10-year editor there.
	They were embroiled in some big scandal because an intelligence source had said that some company had the same name.
	As another company that was owning a diamond mine in Afghanistan.
	It was linked to terrorism.
	They got sued for defamation at one point, if I remember correctly.
	And then his granddad was a Russian-speaking, I think it was Polish immigrant, who fled the Holocaust.
	Obviously, tragic.
	Who was then involved in MI6. And Shukman studied, what was it?
	Terrorism studies at an MA, I think it was University of Manchester, and I think he also went to Cambridge.
	So, if anyone glows like a worm, it's Harry Shuckman over here.
	So, curious how he got a hold of this.
	That's a very interesting chain of coincidences, and then he manages to get his hands on a passport that he legally shouldn't have been able to get hold of.
	And also, if he did have government involvement, why would the government...
	Giving him this, or intelligence agencies giving him this, when they weren't investigating any people that were subject to a criminal investigation.
	It was just an ideologically motivated hit piece that was fed out through Channel 4 and The Guardian.
	Well, I mean, he works for Hope Not Hate, so we can say for certain that he does have government affiliations, at the very least, because we have the information given that the government whip, Anna Turley, is a director and member of its board of trustees, Labour MP Sarah Owen, vice chairman of the group's parliamentary group, Another of the campaigning organisations' directors is a prominent Labour MP and TUC Communications Director, Antonia Bantz.
	And the chairman of its trustee board is the newly elected Labour MP, Gurinder Singh Josen.
	And also, they helped craft the Islamophobia definition, co-written by Health Secretary Wes Streeting, that Angela Rayner is currently reconfiguring to implement into British law.
	Altogether, as much as I'm happy that they are not getting anywhere near as many donations as they used to, it seems that their job has already been done because they've already gone out of their way to smear Labour's political opponents, smear anybody who's against far-left political extremism as being some kind of return of the mid-century Germans, and manage to embed a number of its members deep within the government.
	So that's...
	I know I thought this might be a fun segment, but no.
	I was lying.
	Just like Hope Not Hate.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Excellent.
	Let's move on.
	We've got some rumble rants before Luca kicks off.
	I'll just pass you the tech in the meantime.
	Oh, thank you.
	JM Denton for $20.
	Most revolts in history have been for less.
	Just saying.
	Neo and Realist for $2.
	Congratulations on your first mention in NGO report, Harry.
	Keep up the good work, and you'll get a splashy feature dedicated to you specifically.
	I'm just saying, Calvin Robinson got a full-page spread.
	They chose the wrong Robinson.
	They'd have far more on me.
	Well, you're third on the list beneath Tommy.
	That's true, but just because I've never thrown a Roman in public doesn't mean there's plenty that they could go after me for.
	I like the stipulation of in public.
	Well, we all get up to it a little bit in private, don't we?
	That's a joke.
	That is a joke.
	Hey, if you said that at a Tory party conference, it would have a completely different valence.
	Hapsification for $1.
	Since Connor is leaving, what will happen to Comics Corner, guys?
	It's not the same without Harry and Connor, specifically for Berserk Part 2. So I don't know what's happening there, actually.
	I don't know if you'd want to make returns every so often.
	At the moment, the plan is that maybe...
	I was thinking about maybe getting Samson on and maybe focusing a little bit more on Japanese manga.
	Jumping in my grave and I haven't even left yet.
	I know, right?
	I know.
	Blimey.
	We've been steaming behind your back.
	Listen, you were never going to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion.
	And I don't blame you because it's a very, very difficult series.
	And so if I can get somebody else to come on.
	Also, what's her name?
	Elizabeth Heverin?
	What's her face?
	She wants to come on and cover Attack on Titan with me.
	So, maybe.
	Right.
	I won't say anything.
	Also, I will say, it would have been more regular, and I will get heat for this, but Carl was not that big of a fan.
	So we had to restrict ourselves to most once a month, and obviously we had editing restrictions because Jack was really busy as well.
	So we would have actually done more.
	Yeah, it's kind of like, could have been, should have been at this point, isn't it?
	Oh, well.
	We'll see if we can work something out.
	Who knows?
	Yeah, I'm sure you'll be able to come back and make appearances whenever you can, really.
	Luca?
	Right, okay.
	Well, gentlemen, it's time to engage ourselves in a spot of treason.
	So...
	Turn the cameras off, Samson.
	Mute the mics quickly.
	So I can only apologise profusely if by Sunday all three of us are locked up in the Tower of London like the good old days.
	However, I shall be tactful and try and manoeuvre this.
	Well enough.
	However, before I do, I shall point out that you can still buy the third issue of Islander magazine.
	I've had a look in it.
	I've just got my own copy now from the office, and Rory has really outdone himself this time.
	Fantastic neo-medievalist.
	That's my one.
	You know, aesthetics.
	It's fantastic.
	Yep, Conor's written an article for it.
	I've done my third article on my Marshals of Middle-earth series.
	Islander issue three.
	And the best thing about this is it's a physical...
	Asset And so if you can buy this for £14.99, it's going to have an appreciating return, and one day your grandchild will look at you and say, Grandfather, what are those?
	And you'll point to your amazing collection of Islander magazines that are now worth thousands and thousands of pounds, and you'll say you were there.
	You had the foresight to go and buy Islander Issue 3. So, go do it.
	I think you've got what you beat on advertising, Harry.
	You need to help your game.
	No, no, that's alright.
	Well, last time I just morally...
	Last time I just morally...
	Listen, I go with the financial incentive, I call them poor, you go with the moral incentive, you call them sinners.
	If you don't buy Islander, Luca will follow you around and throw excrement at you in the street.
	Continue.
	With gloves on.
	Right, okay, so yes, we're going to talk a little bit about the royal family, and particularly, I don't just want to focus on Charles, because even though Charles has been in the news a lot recently, because, you know, Here's obviously all of the stuff that you covered in the previous segment about the Iftar and Ramadan in Windsor Castle.
	I'd like to explore the Windsors more broadly and their legacy over how they've impacted Britain.
	Well, we're living in their legacy, aren't we?
	We are living in their legacy, and this is what I want to examine.
	So if we could just play...
	Do I just click?
	No, no, no.
	It's going to have to be the...
	Oh, sure.
	No need for the volume, just something we can play in the background.
	But I do think that, in particular, you know, with the Queen's funeral, that was a really important moment, actually, in British history.
	And I actually have a lot of positive things to say about it.
	Because when you look at the ceremony here for the funeral...
	The magic of England just comes back to life.
	You know, all of a sudden, the pageantry, the discipline, the show.
	This is one of those things that once, one time a day, you know, we were admired the world over for.
	And I feel like on some level, partly because of the longevity of the Queen's reign, in large part, in fact, I feel like when she did die, whether people liked her or loved her or didn't like her, They felt that something had changed, something was missing, something had been lost.
	We'd lost an anchor to old Britain in some way there.
	And I do actually think that on a personal level, she seems like she was a very charming, very warm, very conscious person who tried to do what she thought was good.
	However...
	I do think there needs to be now, a few years out, a reassessment of her and her legacy and the wider legacy of the Windsors.
	So if I could...
	Do I just click?
	It's all right.
	Oh, thanks.
	If we could go over to the next...
	Oh, yes.
	It's okay.
	Yeah.
	If you tell me which other design, thank you.
	So, one thing I did just want to comment on here was actually, it sounds a bit silly, but The Crown by Netflix.
	Because actually, even though it's obviously basically historical fiction, none of the conversations actually happened.
	It's not real history.
	It's a fictional history.
	You're telling me they were actors?
	However, did you know?
	However, I did want to just comment on the fact that...
	Regardless of how true a depiction it was of real history, this had international viewing.
	This was viewed by millions and millions of people.
	And, you know, even when I was in Japan, right, a few years ago, I had Japanese people saying, oh, the Queen, the Queen, we watched The Crown, right?
	You know, it was something that...
	Tia Boos.
	Right, Tia Boos, yeah.
	So there was something...
	There, but I suppose what I'm trying to say about this is that the British monarchy still holds a place of fascination throughout the world.
	There is something magical about monarchy in and of itself.
	When you're in the playground as a child, you want to be a king or a queen or a prince.
	No one says, oh, I'm pretending to be a senator, right?
	When's the last time a child ever said that in the school playground?
	No, there is a magic, there's a mythos to monarchy that is actually...
	There's a deep magic to monarchy itself.
	It's the Evolian concept of imminent transcendence.
	The idea that the king can at once be a tether to...
	The earthly and the heavenly, he can embody the transcendent values of the religion of his tribe, of his people, and give them a guiding star to what they should aspire to, while also being directly accountable, because he has that concern about lineage, to the people, to his kingdom.
	And also, it's more likely that he's going to be fashioned for statecraft if he's brought up in the shadow of his father, knowing the role that he's going to inherit, than the revolving door, well, increasingly less revolving door, of...
	I think also it's the most natural expression of the leadership principle.
	Everybody wants to feel as though they are the chosen leader, right?
	But you don't imagine yourself in a kind of heroic fashion becoming that chosen leader through simply charming enough people to get them to put your name on a ballot.
	You imagine...
	Capturing their love and adoration through heroic feats of bravery and strength, through overcoming challenges, not through going through some kind of bureaucratic principle, bureaucratic process.
	And so there's the romance to it as well, which is completely lost when bureaucracy and the liberal democratic systems that we live under are as unromantic as possible.
	On purpose, I would argue, to add as part of the disenchantment of the magic of life.
	Now, one thing I also want to mention in terms of, because unlike, say, I'm not dunking on them, but say unlike monarchies in Scandinavia, right, our British monarchy also has a second responsibility, which is to the Commonwealth, right?
	right?
	The Commonwealth, you know, the post-imperial group of nations that are supposed to be bound together with some sense of fealty and loyalty, and we respect the best interest of this voluntary association.
	However, that is all, you know, on some level, there is something to be said for the fact that a lot of our post-colonial colonies don't have rage Rageful vendettas against us all the time, like, say, the French ones do, like in Algeria.
	However, I really want, if we could go to the next link, take, for example, first of all in Britain, how ethnic minority Britons are remembering Queen Elizabeth II. It says, over the course of Queen Elizabeth's reign, Britain's population grew by nearly a third from roughly 50 million in 1950 to 67 million today.
	An increase spurred, at least in part, by increased immigration.
	At least in part.
	In part is doing a lot of...
	By that they mean...
	Basically all.
	The birth rates were falling past the initial baby boom to lower them replacement levels.
	Yes, but it was only in part.
	Yes, only in part.
	Now we've got more deaths than births, an aging population, and an increase in population 1% every year driven solely by migration.
	Yes.
	No, entirely dishonest.
	But as it says, as of last year, people borne out...
	This article is from a few years ago, so I'll skip over that.
	But it says,
	surveyed.
	Well, it's because by lineage...
	Excludes them unless someone is married into the monarchy.
	So, in electoral politics, you can gerrymander the demographics and then gerrymander democracy to then elect politicians which agitate on behalf of your sectarian concerns and manufacture consent to bring in more of your ethnic or religious in-group in.
	See Priti Patel.
	It's very, very hard for that to happen, unless you ideologically capture the monarchy, which seems to be happening.
	Well, yes.
	That same process to play out.
	Exactly so, exactly so.
	And this comes to the wider point about Charles in particular, because you're appealing to people who fundamentally are not your natural constituents, they're not your natural supporters, and most of them would not be affected by the deep magic of England if the monarchy were to disappear tomorrow, right?
	And so this is...
	Fundamental point.
	But if we could just go to the next one.
	This is something as well, because I wanted to pick on, because I talked about the Commonwealth and other countries, but the Anglosphere, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, these are former colonies as well.
	These are our, you know, former allies.
	It says the Queen's complicated relation with multiracial Australia.
	And this is one of the things that it talks about as well.
	Obviously the demographic...
	Shifts that have been happening have been happening throughout white majority populations throughout the Commonwealth as well.
	And so if defending the Commonwealth means replacing Australians, the Anglo-Australians, in their own land, that they have...
	They've cultivated the harsh climate, they've settled, you know, all of those things.
	Made it prosperous.
	And now, you know, just others are coming in and reaping the benefits of that, but also saying...
	Now they've managed to do it without diversity.
	Right, right.
	And so now all of a sudden you've got that thing where...
	You know, like after October 7th, Australians suddenly have to deal with radical Islamists in Sydney saying, you know, kill all the Jews.
	Now, obviously, well, I don't think that's anything the Australians wanted to live amongst.
	I don't think even the Australian Aborigines knew what a Jew was.
	Right.
	They'd never encountered them.
	It's so not indigenous to Australia that the pre-Australian aboriginals would have no concept of it.
	I need to go back in time and view with my own eyes the first time a Jew and an aboriginal ever encountered one another.
	I need to see that.
	This is so not native to Australia.
	It's so concentrated in the sliver of history.
	It's absurd.
	Same with the suspected Islamist, we have to say suspected because I think he was under the age of 18, who ran up and stabbed the bishop, the Coptic Christian bishop.
	That's completely alien to Australia.
	We've become anaesthetised to it over in Britain because of the growing Muslim population, but that never happened in Australia until the last couple of years.
	It's happened remarkably fast.
	So if I could ask for the next one.
	So, look.
	On some level, it's one of those things where he seems like a very kind, doddering old man, right?
	Who, in any other time...
	You wouldn't have that much, you know, it's like, oh, look at this wonderful architecture I've built in Poundbury and everything, and, you know, oh, aren't these awful brutalist buildings terrible, and I'm a king who's...
	The times we live in do not call for a doddering old man.
	Exactly.
	And this is my wider point.
	This is my wider point.
	Also, if you just go to the next one, it's like, oh, right, you've built up that wonderful town, have you?
	Well, the model town of Poundbury has rats everywhere, and families are living plagued.
	So...
	Also, look, Poundbury, fine, you know, if you want to improve the architecture of British towns and cities, I'm with you.
	Yes.
	But, it feels a little bit like an English nature reserve.
	Like, if you've been chased out of your cities, which, it's not the cities, yeah, sure, city architecture is not that great for human flourishing, but it's not the cities themselves that create unlivable conditions.
	It's the people in the cities who bring a foreign culture that make the city resemble the third world country that they came from.
	If you chase all those people out, if you chase the ancestors of the people that built the city up and are suitable for maintaining it out of the cities and into these small enclaves, it just feels like you're trying to keep an endangered species alive.
	What you're going to end up with is you're going to end up with a level of segregation like Arania in South Africa, where the English have their own little separate enclaves that are functioning so much better than all of the rest of the country, and they're just going to show straight back up on the front door, knocking, saying, "Let us in." Yes.
	Some sympathetic doddering fool is going to let them in, they're going to put their feet up on the table and say, "Gibs. Gibbs." And then the whole thing will collapse again.
	Of course.
	But also, so, really, the wider point, though, is that Charles isn't the guy.
	He's not the guy.
	But also, I don't want to...
	He's not capable of being the guy.
	But it's Yorvin most effective.
	Yeah.
	But also, it's one of those things that, fundamentally, we have to acknowledge.
	Sorry, I saw...
	I saw a sneaky Vance in the Daily Mail page.
	Sorry, continue, continue.
	Oh, I'm just sorry.
	That's my favourite one.
	Sorry.
	Everywhere I look, I see him.
	Drawing it back.
	It's in my brain now.
	Fundamentally, we have to acknowledge the fact that the trajectory...
	That Charles is on is not in any way a fundamental departure from that of the late Queen herself.
	When I remember Liz Truss giving the speech after the news came of the Queen's passing and Liz Truss said in a speech that the Queen was the rock on top of which modern Britain was built.
	And this is very, very true, but that modern Britain is a multicultural Britain.
	Elizabeth II and now Charles After represent bringing the Commonwealth to Britain so that Britain is the last holdout of the British Empire itself.
	Being administrated by our former imperial.
	Exactly this.
	Exactly this.
	And so fundamentally...
	Sorry, but the symbology then of the Queen having her last meeting with Liz, Liz then being cooed out by Rishi Sunak, that takes on an innate transcendence of its own.
	Yeah, the poor tense.
	Don't lie, people.
	If we could go to the next one.
	I just have favourite, you know...
	Favourite sourpuss Peter Hitchens here.
	This is a fantastic look.
	His Majesty King Charles, so politically correct that he sometimes resembles a walking bottle of hand sanitiser, is said to have pressed for this emollient, dripping change of name from HMS Agincourt to HMS Achilles.
	And the Starmer government, always in the market for a national climb-down, has agreed.
	So, look, on some level this is just surface level.
	Culture war slop, right?
	They changed the name of the ship.
	However, the reason I wanted to draw on it is because, actually, the fact that this was Charles' express wish...
	Sorry, isn't Henry V, who was the great warrior Agincourt, supposed to be...
	Your ancestor.
	Aren't you spitting on the achievements of your own personal ancestors here?
	Hey listen, is Charles the beneficiary of a great lineage of kings, or is he just another individual like you or me?
	I can't help but feel that that's the way that he's looking at things.
	He's absorbed the kind of liberal ideology in that way.
	It does very much feel like the continued Blairite strip mining of everything that is distinct and excellent about Britain in order to unilaterally disarm the population against complaining about the changes that none of us want.
	But also, it's like, oh, we need to change the name HMS at...
	HMS Agincourt because it might upset the French.
	That's a British pastime.
	It's one of our favourite pastimes.
	I get jittery if I go five minutes without upsetting the French.
	I go through withdrawal symptoms.
	So we must continue.
	I'm going to commit some treason here and say I do not mind the French.
	I don't mind them.
	But it's what Eric Zemmour said to Carl when we were walking through Whitechapel.
	He said, in times like these, we old enemies become the oldest of friends.
	This is true.
	This is true.
	You're facing a more existential threat.
	And, you know, I think of France like a little brother.
	Yeah, very little.
	Very annoying.
	Minutively less.
	Yeah, annoying, weedy.
	Greasy little brother, but still a member of the family.
	Still a member of the family.
	Into a bit of a scrap every now and again.
	Speaking of which, I hope this was like Charles refereeing a bare-knuckle boxing match between these two.
	The Imam versus the Rabbi.
	Israel-Palestine, duke it out.
	Right, but that's exactly the point.
	Face me one-on-one in honourable combat.
	Broke a pool cue.
	But this is a problem, right?
	It seems that Charles seems to have to...
	Multicultural diversity is...
	Ethan Klein's Palestinian cousin.
	It's gone from Jewish to Greek to Palestinian.
	But it just seems remarkable to me that Charles can't go a single speech without talking about how brilliant diversity has been for Britain, yet he seems to have to spend a remarkable amount of his time trying to get the minorities to talk to one another to make sure that they don't harm one another.
	He did also praise Starmer's militant response to the...
	Largely, I would say largely peaceful protests following Southport.
	So he seems to rejoice in the cracking down on members of his own population who complain about this diversification and conditions in prison which lead to the deaths of men like Peter Lynch.
	If we could have the next one.
	So this really rubbed me up the wrong way.
	When they were just packing sweets ready for Ramadan.
	I just want to make it clear.
	The happiest I've seen him in ages.
	Right, yeah, look at the glee.
	Look at the glee.
	Oh, yeah, isn't it great?
	But I just want to make the point, right, that when Edward VIII was the abdication crisis just before World War II, when he was told, no, you can't become the king because you can't have a wife who is a three-time American divorcee.
	The problem with that, obviously, being that she was American.
	You know, that was less egregious than this.
	Well, of course, because divorce is not a problem for the Anglicans.
	Yes.
	I'm just thinking Richard the Lionheart is looming over Charles' shoulder like a force ghost, shaking his head, disproving life.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	And so, if we go to once more, yes, obviously you covered this in the previous segment.
	I do actually have.
	It says, guests who attended the event started with a self-guided tour of the State Department before dining in the famed, oh sorry, St. George's Hall.
	Is that in English?
	It's a genuine question.
	Yeah, well, one attendee told the BBC, I've never been to Windsor Castle before.
	That speaks for itself.
	So this is an awesome experience.
	The first time to be here and to do it in an Islamic way.
	It's possessed by jinns.
	Don't come back.
	It's just...
	Apoplectic beyond words.
	Right.
	However, there's nothing to worry about, boys, because I can understand that this segment has been a bit stressful.
	For you, you know, it's irritating to see our monarch so committed to his oldest, noblest subjects before there was empire.
	They're the Ottomans.
	Right.
	Before...
	Before the...
	Genuinely, before there was empire, before any of that, before Elizabeth I, you know, and there was just England, there was us.
	There was the ancient kingdoms of the British Isles and, you know, we were...
	and so to be spat on in this way so disrespectfully so callously so abrasively fundamentally it shouldn't be able to stand and i know this frustrates you but fortunately if we could have the next one it's fine because we're going to go die for ukraine soon if it weren't genuinely if it weren't for trump tilting his head ever so slightly like this would be the preface to us dying in a ditch in kiev Yes.
	Yeah.
	I appreciate all of Yarvin's writing.
	I really do.
	And I think he's correct about the mimetic power of monarchy.
	And I think that Trump is embodying that now.
	But the idea that any of Britain's royal family, maybe, maybe Will and Kate's kids, we'll see, are going to ride to Britain's rescue.
	It's for the birds.
	Well, this is what I was saying.
	What he's talking about is more the executive use of power.
	He does keep...
	Humorously fantasising about Charles proroguing Parliament and dismissing everyone.
	Oh, Curtis.
	We all like a daydream every so often, but get off it.
	But, fortunately, what you were just saying, actually, about the next generation...
	Because if you just go to the last one, it's my final one.
	William and Kate aren't coming to save us.
	This was an event at Waterloo Station that William and Kate attended, where they unveiled this Windrush monument.
	It's not our bloody Mayflower.
	We existed before Windrush showed up.
	Yes, but...
	Or over a thousand years before Windrush.
	Yes, but, you know, so William and Kate will continue to perpetuate.
	Now, unless we're going to suggest that Prince George is going to be the Baron Trump of England, right?
	As some sort of Caesar figure.
	Who's the youngest one?
	I forget.
	William's son.
	Yeah, the third one.
	Oh, and is it Louis?
	It might be, yeah, the one that's covering his ears during everything.
	Yeah, it'll be him.
	It'll be him.
	But just some final thoughts on all of this, which I did say to Harry before we went on, which is just that, look, in an ideal world, I would like the institution of monarchy to continue.
	I have more sentimental attachment to monarchism over republicanism.
	However...
	If it comes between the moral choice of which one is best served in order to save England and the integrity of these islands and the people on it, then I don't feel like we can have the luxury of choosing.
	However, having said that, I'm not going to get Cromwellian about it.
	And suggests that we must become a republic because that's how we're going to save England.
	Because fundamentally, the fact is, the French are a republic.
	And they're dealing with the exact same problems that we're dealing with here.
	I don't think it's a symptom of the unique parochial constitutional settlement of a European country.
	It's the wider zeitgeist of what we're suffering through in the late 20th, early 21st century.
	However, I fundamentally believe that after everything that I've been through, that I've put today, that the House of Windsor itself Does not deserve to continue because of what they've put us through, right?
	It should be, if we are to continue the monarchy, needs to be a clean slate.
	We can do a Hanoverian thing, we can find the 52nd closest in line, and we can get them over from Germany again if we have to.
	As long as we don't do a William of Orange, because there are certain clauses in there that exclude Catholics.
	I hope we're not inviting the Dutch back over, don't worry.
	Honestly, I was actually going to say at this point that you might be saying, honestly, at this point, I don't even care if the monarchs are Catholic.
	You know, I don't care if we have to get the Jacobites back.
	Henry VIII was a great big mistake, I agree.
	Right.
	It's just because fundamentally, I feel like...
	Has anybody even tracing the lineage of the original Anglo-Saxon kings?
	There is a guy, I think, living in Australia who's a Catholic who has a plausible claim to the throne.
	Before they split off.
	Well, before the Normans.
	No, no, no.
	Before the split.
	I want a descendant of a pre-Norman king.
	That'll get us back on track.
	Honestly, I genuinely think that you could grab a random working class chap from Sheffield, make him king, and he'd have better intuitions than Charles.
	There's probably a chip shop owner in Hastings.
	It's like directly related to Harold Harder.
	So we're just going to get him out then.
	Exactly.
	Clear him out, get him out.
	Simple out, signed away.
	Yeah.
	So, right.
	There we go.
	Those are my thoughts on the House of Windsor.
	Excellent.
	Right.
	Have we got any video comments, Samson?
	We do.
	Samson is loading them up.
	I skipped them yesterday, so I'd imagine we might have a few.
	No, we've only got four.
	Okay, that's still all right.
	You lucky few.
	Go for it.
	Today we're going to be shooting at 1,000 yards.
	First, we're going to add...
	36.5 minutes for elevation and a further 7 minutes for wind.
	It's a bit overcast today so we're going to increase the amount of light that comes in through the foresight and the rear sight.
	And now we're ready.
	... ... ... ... ... ...
	What's that?
	Old bolt action sniper rifle?
	Oh, excellent.
	That's cool.
	That's really good.
	On to the next one.
	Hello, everyone.
	I wanted to show you guys this lake that I like to visit.
	I kind of wish I'd come here when I was completely frozen, but I still think it looks really cool.
	I also wanted to say that I was very sad that Connor's going to be leaving the Lotus Cedars...
	But I do want to wish you all the very best for your future endeavors.
	You're going to do great.
	And hope that you come on the Lotus Eaters often as a guest so it'll be like you never left.
	Thanks a lot for everything, and take care.
	Thank you very much, Jen Harvey.
	Beautiful-looking lake.
	Looks like the postmark, actually.
	Returns are wholly dependent on...
	This is what our king should look like.
	Yeah, returns are wholly dependent on schedule and where I am in the world, because I'm probably going to be flitting back and forth to the US occasionally as well.
	But anyway, on with the next one.
	You know, I would be lying if I said I never considered starting a Christian group focused around building power armor.
	But for now, I'll stick with developing my video game to spread the word, and it's a good excuse to build a simulator cockpit for the game to get practice making things people friendly.
	So you're building robots and making a video game at the same time.
	Very impressive.
	Yeah, that's great.
	Does anyone remember Bamazuki?
	From CBBC? No.
	The little CGI... Robot creature things that would fight.
	Samson's nodding.
	Yeah, I was going to say.
	Samson knows.
	Similar mechanics to actually playing from the first person, the Bamzuki.
	The weird thing about Bamzuki, go and look it up on YouTube, is because they've got a bunch of kids cheering their little CGI animated thing on.
	And as a kid, you were like, yeah, it's so cool.
	And now watching it, you realise, oh, those kids have been brought onto the show and were struck to cheer at nothing.
	Because they're...
	There's no hologram.
	They can't see anything.
	Imagine making your bamzooki and getting brought along as a kid and be like, oh my god, I get to, oh, I've got to stand here and just go, yay!
	I always thought it was done in Robot Wars as a kid.
	But my dad, he's quite good with electronics, but he didn't want to make one with me.
	I remember Jungle Run.
	I remember as a child watching that and thinking when they got trapped in the cave at the end and they didn't make it out, they actually had to wait a week or two.
	And Raven.
	Raven, you die in Way of the Warrior, you get vaporized.
	I don't want to evaporate.
	Did the parents sign off on this?
	Trapped as well, you literally just get stuck.
	It's an equivalent to the Islamic parenthood that you said about, you have one kid to keep and one kid to throw into one of these shows.
	One kid for Way of the Warrior.
	Anyway, continue.
	California Flower Friday Darlingtonia californica is a carnivorous native.
	It's called the cobra lily due to its shape.
	It has a mustache-like appendage that has sweet nectar.
	Bugs go inside the plant and it has translucent windows at the top which confuse stupid bugs who try to fly towards the light, tire, and fall into the digestive fluids inside the hollow stalk.
	I want to grow these but finding them is hard and seeds take three years to grow and it's really tough to grow.
	Interesting.
	It looks like the similar plant they based that one rampage creature on for PS2. I kind of love evil plants.
	Crazy.
	That's great.
	That's cool.
	Wonderful.
	On to the written comments.
	Great to see Luca back in action in the studio, says Russian Garbage Human.
	Thanks, sir.
	Lord Kevcroft.
	Connor, all the best of luck heading forward with whatever life may bring your way.
	Good, sir.
	I'm not...
	Disappearing.
	I'll just, you know, you'll hear from him more announcements soon.
	It's fortunate Harry's also on, as I'd like to thank you both for Comics Corner and relighting the collector in me.
	It shall be missed.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We enjoyed it very much.
	Glad we could inspire that in you.
	And happy to see Luke on again, as he's shown willingness to come in often after next week, where we see him every Wednesday.
	You still live up north.
	They're still domesticating their first northerner.
	I'd say you're already a little bit more civilised.
	And MarcoCat also issues some praise for Comics Corner.
	We've got a lot of issues in the archive and, you know, didn't always get as viewed as some of the other content, so do go back and give them a rewatch.
	They were fun.
	Yeah, and there's some really great stuff in there.
	You managed to get your multi-part entire history of comic book series out.
	Yeah, that was a proper labour of love.
	You subjected me to Berserk.
	It's not related to it.
	You enjoyed plenty of Berserk.
	I enjoyed elements of Berserk.
	Nobody enjoys Eclipse, alright?
	That's supposed...
	even...
	Even Miura hated writing and drawing Eclipse, but it had to be done for the story.
	The John G.E. 2 episode was great, and it's not Comics Corner, but one of my proudest bits of content is still the Life is Strange episode, and loads of people still enjoy that.
	Thanks, man.
	It was really weird.
	You're welcome, dude.
	It's really weird to see you out of a suit on that, to be honest with you.
	Yeah, I know.
	I did feel about ten years old.
	It was really weird.
	On the first segment, Thomas Howell is saying that we are basically apartheid Britain.
	I mean, if you've got explicitly racial, balkanized standards of sentencing, yeah.
	We're literally an apartheid system.
	We are being treated as the hated minorities, though.
	Connor running naked through the streets of Swindon.
	Thanks.
	Is that what you're planning on doing?
	Hello, Lotus E, is that out of context?
	I'm free!
	After the farewell dinner, you go, ha ha!
	If the police were to arrest someone for possessing an image of a Muslim woman without her hijab, they would be admitting that you can assume someone's gender through their appearance, which, according to their own guidance, is transphobic.
	The contradictions do not matter to them, it's ideological conquest that is the end goal.
	And the definition of minority for these people is well defined as, what is a woman for these people?
	For example, I am sure the Baptist religion is a minority religion, using the real definition, which means a small number of people identify as members of the Baptist religion, but I am sure that religion doesn't get any special treatment.
	I think the same would be the same of the Jewish religion.
	I think, yeah, there's less than 200,000 Jews in the country?
	Yeah, I think most of them are in London.
	Yes.
	North London, mainly.
	Yeah.
	I don't know how many Baptists are in the country.
	It's really rare to see them outside of the big cities.
	You go to Manchester and you see some, like, Orthodox walking about sometimes.
	Mainly in airports as well.
	Oh, is it my local...
	I was at my local Morrison's the other week and there was just like at the self-checkout a rabbi doing his shopping and I've never seen that in my hometown ever.
	It was like seeing a rare animal.
	It was like a rare NPC encounter.
	I was like, what?
	What's going on here?
	And then I was at the pub later on that same day.
	Guy, I won't name him because I don't want to dox anyone, but really, really lovely guy ended up recognizing me from the podcast and buying me and my mate a few drinks throughout the rest of the night.
	He said that he was from, like, an Orthodox Jewish background or something.
	So you do meet them about the place.
	But it's really rare outside of the big cities.
	Has he ever met an Aborigine?
	Next time I run into him, that's going to be the first question I ask.
	Don't buy them a drink, whatever you do.
	One more from... I can't help feel the English identity debacle was a deliberate attempt to separate English away from the Scottish and Welsh to unite against the establishment.
	While people have been looking inwards and sideways, we are not looking up.
	I don't think it's that calculated.
	I just think Fraser Nelson is a moron.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like, his end game is to, yes, liquidate all identities to disarm you, but he's not trying to increase, like, Celtic ethnic sectarianism.
	It's just that his revealed preference is to only hire people of ethnic Scottish ancestry over at The Spectator, to the point of where it's an in-joke.
	Hasn't he also tweeted about complaining about how he's been trying to convince his own children to see themselves as cosmopolitan, liberal, anywhere people, and they're like, no, no, we're Scottish.
	We're Scottish, and...
	Where's his wife from?
	Not Sweden, it's like Scandinavia.
	Lithuania or something like that.
	We're Scottish Baltic types.
	Yeah, so they've seen themselves as...
	They're ethnic essentialists.
	And he said, it's funny because all the other kids in their class are second generation migrants and they think the same way.
	It's like, yeah, phrase it, you're the weird one here.
	Yeah, I think the only thing that that man has in his head is an imaginary graph where the line is just going up and up and up and up constantly and that's all he can think of.
	That's his daydream.
	Comments for your segment, sir.
	Yeah, Geordie Swordsman, the high point of awards season.
	It's the annual Far Right Awards.
	Yes, and maybe one day, Luca, you can get your own place.
	To be fair, though...
	I have a dream.
	I only got a mention.
	Connor, you were mentioned in the same paragraph as me.
	I don't know if...
	You probably popped up elsewhere in there.
	No, I was only that one.
	So we only got the one mention.
	Liz only got the one mention as well in relation to that.
	I'm actually thinking that I might get coaching tips from Bo.
	To see if he can train me up.
	Bo was mentioned three or four times, mainly regarding reform.
	Matt Goodwin got like three pages because Nick Lowell feels personally spurred by the fact that he's doing better.
	Where's my full page spread, alright?
	Next year you'll get most improved player.
	And Luca will get an honourable mention.
	Oh, thank you.
	George Happ, hope not hate, may be a subversive communist organisation, but at least they expose how weak and effective reform are.
	Tice has no place to make any statements about them after throwing his candidates.
	Reform is not a monolith, I will say.
	I was going to say, hopefully from what you're saying, reform are reforming themselves...
	Inside to be able to tackle problems.
	There are very good people within reform.
	They just need to pick the directions.
	Some, I assume, are good people.
	Lord Nerevar, it's crazy how gutting USAID was the equivalent of throwing the ring into Mount Doom for so many leftist institutions.
	Makes one wonder how many rings are still left to throw into said spicy hill.
	I think that, yeah, you are right.
	It's crazy that, like, all of international globalist leftism seems to have been the American deep state.
	We've still got a deep state of our own, so it'll be very interesting when, in a couple of years, hopefully someone competent wins and starts raking all the muck out of Whitehall 2. Anyway, do you want to go through yours?
	Oh, sure.
	Missed opportunity for Luca to open the segment with It's Treason then.
	Oh, yes!
	I promised you there'd be no more Star Wars memes, so I have to...
	Save them for half an hour.
	However, Jolly, I am going to kick myself for the rest of the day, so thank you for that.
	We can only hope that King Arthur rises up once again with the Undead Shapers agreeing that, yes, the once and future king.
	Let's hope that the future King William takes after his great-grandfather rather than his father.
	Just get the guy related to Cheddar Manor's monarch.
	And with that suggestion, we will be back.
	You just knock on his door, hand him a crown.
	There you go, mate.
	Then you go off to the pub.
	Yeah, quite right.
	We will resume programming in about 25 minutes for premium members over at Lads Out to discuss the Star Wars prequels.
	There's still time to sign up if you haven't already and catch that live.
	Luca, thank you very much for coming in.
	Oh, thank you very much.
	Harry, pleasure as always, mate.
	Thank you.
	We will be back on Monday.
	I will be back on Wednesday for my last show, so be sure to catch both of those.
	Until then, have a good weekend, everyone.
