Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Road Seaters episode 1206 for Friday, July the 11th, 2025.
I'm your host, Luca, joined today by Bo and special guest, David English.
How are you, sir?
I'm very good.
How are you?
Very well.
Very, very well.
Today we're going to be talking all about the issues facing France, or I suppose the issue that is France.
We're also going to be talking about the controversy surrounding the migrant boat effigy over in Northern Ireland.
And then we're going to be discussing the UK's ongoing financial decline, economic decline.
So with that said, Beau, take us away.
Right.
Maybe we should talk a little bit about the French connection, the French problem.
The French question.
Yeah.
I mean, one thing to say just before we get into it, I mean, the headline is that a deal has been struck between the English and the French governments to help smash the gangs and stop the small boats and all that sort of thing.
But before we go into any of that, I just want to make it clear that we are still rivals with France.
And ever since the Middle Ages, we've been rivals.
Never stop.
And we still are, it's not like they're our best friend.
We've got our best interests at heart.
No.
So let's remember that.
Allies doing some heavy lifting, isn't it?
We think maybe because we fought on the same side in the World Wars and in the Cold War, that we're just completely on the same side.
We were both in the Union.
That we're just on the same side.
No, no.
I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.
Yeah, there seems to be a spiteful element terror that's going on at the minute.
The fact that they can do a deal shows that there is some degree of control.
So there's definitely something that they're like that friend who keeps trying to get into your girlfriend.
They're just not a good mate.
It is like that, yeah.
It's a bad friend.
Yes.
Yeah.
A bad friend who's waiting for any moment to screw you over.
Pretends to be your buddy.
Yep.
But you get into a scrap and he runs away.
That's right.
Or something like that.
He never has your back.
Yeah.
Yep.
That's the guy.
Okay.
So a deal has been struck.
Well, hallelujah.
And it's a terrible deal.
To the surprise of no one.
Yeah, to the surprise of no one.
It's one of the things to say then about Kier Starmer seems to be the worst man in the world at making deals.
Or is it that he's deliberately making bad deals?
You look at the Chagos Islands thing.
Yep.
Look at the Gibraltar thing.
You look at this now.
A number of other things.
Is it just that he's terrible at making deals?
Or is it that he actually hasn't got our best interests at heart?
There was enough opposition, particularly with Chagos.
Everyone was screaming that it was a bad idea.
Even the native Chagos Island people.
And yet, he unwaveringly went through with it.
And so, yeah, you can only really subscribe malicious intent with that one.
What do you think there?
Do you think it's just incompetence or it's deliberate?
I think there's multiple things that true at the same time.
So I think you have an individual who is emotionally damaged from his upbringing, which will leave a weakness to him.
He'll be frightened of confrontation because emotional stress to him will trigger him because of how he was brought up and his family and things like that.
So there's going to be a psychological marker there where you put him in a room with somebody who's strong.
And Macron, you remember Macron trying to take on Trump when they first met?
There was the whole who's going to get the dominant handshake thing going on.
So I don't think Starmer's a particularly strong guy.
He is a communist.
So he hates the British Empire.
He hates England.
He hates everything that we stand for.
So he is going to deracinate as fast and as much as possible because he thinks it is the right thing to kind of do.
He thinks that we're an evil and we need to be deconstructed and let the noble savages have their day.
And I also think he's basically a terrible negotiator.
It is the art of no deal.
So he is the complete opposite of somebody like Trump who would have went in there and went, well, I need the best for my people.
He's going in there and saying, well, this is what I'd like, but I'll take whatever you give me, basically.
So he's not a good statesman.
He's weak.
He's incredibly weak.
And I think every man with an ounce of testosterone in him feels the weakness emanating off this guy.
There's just nothing redeeming there at all.
I think you're absolutely right when you talk about the fact that, you know, in comparison to Trump, who asks, you know, what's best for the American people, Stamer is someone who seems to be most focused more than anything on what is best for the rules-based order.
You know, that is the first priority.
What's best for Davos?
Yes.
And my globalist puppet masters.
And the EU.
Well, again, if you look, his upbringing was so emotionally unstable that there was no comfort there, right?
Because he had to basically mother his mother.
He had to look after his mother and protect his mother and nurse her and all the rest of it.
So emotionally, he's underdeveloped.
So anything to do with emotions are going to throw that guy off.
So he's going to go towards rules because they're fixed and constant and can't hurt him.
So he will naturally drift towards anything that is rules-based, which is why he probably chose the profession he was in.
It's why he's probably leaned towards, because he's a malignant narcissist.
So he's going to lean towards communism anyway, because communism is malignant narcissism on steroids, right?
So you can't do any wrong.
Everything's right.
There are rules to everything.
When you do something wrong, it is right.
It's going to appeal to somebody who's as weak as him.
Yeah.
There's a couple of steals later, I think I've gotten queued up, where just like the weird, stilted, fake smile on his face.
Just horrible.
Anyway, okay, so what is this deal?
I mean, for a start, it's just the very first thing to say, why couldn't they make any sort of deal until now?
We've had all sorts of deals with the French, haven't we?
And they've been terrible for us.
But now it's like a new historic deal saying it's historic.
And anyway, the headline is one in, one out.
So you might think, oh, okay, so for every new migrant that comes in, we'll at least deport one that's already here.
Well, no, it's not even that.
It's not even that.
It's if a boat migrant comes across, then we'll detain, probably won't end up actually doing it, but we'll detain and deport them back to France.
But in exchange for that, an asylum seeker that's in France at that point gets to take that person's place.
That's the one in, one out.
so what is that?
That's not anything.
That's not.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
So there's nothing.
It's a more complicated version of the current state of affairs.
Well, yeah.
Basically, Britain's just become a giant migrant nightclub at this point, hasn't it?
So it, sorry, we're full, one in, one out.
It's just nonsense.
That's not a deal.
There's nothing.
It's nothing.
Our country's being treated as some sort of like car park overflow area for the world's detritus.
What is that?
It's disgusting.
Well, let's watch a little bit of this video, just one minute of Sir Kir.
So I'm pleased to announce our agreement today on a groundbreaking returns pilot.
Groundbreaking?
For the very first time, migrants arriving via small boat will be detained and returned to France in short order.
In exchange for every return, a different individual will allow to come here via a safe boat, controlled and illegal, subject to strict security checks and only open to those who have not tried to enter the UK illegally.
This will show others trying to make the same journey.
Yeah, okay, get it.
So he's more interested in trying to smash the gangs and actually save our country in any way or help the demographic issue in any way or the crime issue in any way.
It's just safe and legal routes.
The problem they don't like is that we're being flooded with foreign criminals who are unvetted and unchecked, but it's not strictly on their terms.
That's their issue.
That's his issue.
No, the issue is we don't want any of them whatsoever.
Also, you know, any patriotic government, look, if Britain wanted to work with France on this issue, then it should be a collaborative effort to just, you know, get rid of them from the continent itself, right, from Europe, get them out back to Africa or the Middle East or wherever they came from.
Reconquista.
Well, would be nice, wouldn't it?
It will happen.
It will happen.
And I think the elephant in the room is just, why the hell is it happening?
This is nuts.
Like, so migration throughout history is normal, right?
And it is.
Yes.
But it's always in tiny, tiny numbers.
Something like London has always had people from all over the world there, but in tiny, tiny numbers.
That's normal.
And usually confined to the ports or just where the merchants were.
So there's two things that have kind of tried to happen.
They've tried to make every city metropolitan, right?
Whereas you didn't.
You tend to have a capital or a port, assisted city that was the metropolis of that country.
And everything else was industrialized and made things, right?
So they've stripped away all the economy.
They've tried to make every city a thriving metropolis, but there's nothing there to support that.
But then they've just shipped in, and that's to kind of make the migrant thing acceptable, right?
But then why are they having such huge numbers moving around the earth?
That's evil.
Because it disconnects them from their homeland.
This land won't understand them.
There is a huge spiritual element.
Nor should we have to.
No, they don't understand it.
And if they did take over this country, my guess is there'd just be huge famines.
Land would reject them.
So we need to ask why the hell is it happening?
And why is that constituted as a deal?
Because it's not.
And as you just watched it, it was basically estrogen wrapped in a grey suit.
There's nothing there.
It's word salad.
It's political word salad.
And is it, you know, smash the gangs, like smash or pass?
Nothing's happening.
Nothing at all.
We're just being fed appeasement after appeasement because they know that the public en masse has cottoned on to everything that's going on.
Something happened during COVID and that wall broke down.
And people who previously weren't interested in this sort of thing are suddenly now switched on.
Like we were talking earlier, the Geordie grandmas, 80-year-old, want this lot strung up in the streets.
So if that's what the public are kind of pushing for, then they know they're playing permanent catch-up.
And they aren't playing permanent catch-up.
And they're playing catch-up for their own lives, essentially, because their careers will be over when this dam bursts.
And it's going to burst.
It is going to burst.
But that's ridiculous.
That's not a deal at all.
Yes.
Embarrassing.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
It's embarrassing.
It is.
It's embarrassingly weak and poor and just not good enough.
We don't even want net zero.
I mean, even gross zero isn't good enough.
We need negative.
negative to the tune of hundreds of thousands.
So to have a one-in-one out with another asylum seeker, that's...
They'll just keep doing, it seems to me, they'll just keep doing all sorts of tricks to make people think that only, like, read the headlines or something, that something's being done in their interest.
And it's not, because it's worked ever since the war.
We've been fed, oh, this, this, this.
We've been fed scraps.
You know, England has an abusive relationship with its rulers.
We live on emotional breadcrumbs from our elite, right?
We're used to living in this situation of, well, here's some, here's some attention, here's some attention, a little bit at a time.
The red meat.
Yeah.
But now we're like, well, no, this has gone too far.
Everything's just slid down and down and down.
We now want real, actual change.
And it will come.
And they know they are now the minority.
The leftists in this country probably number 10%.
Maxed out.
They maxed out at the last election on what?
Like a 50-odd percent turnout got, what, 30% of 50%?
Basically that.
Yeah.
So they've got a tiny, tiny minority in the country.
And if anybody can galvanize the masses, then it's game over.
It's completely game over.
Your average working class people up and down the country who would be and have always sort of struggled see that unemployment is through the roof and that the very demographics of their towns and high streets are visibly invaded.
It's another way of putting it.
And that the economy is on the ropes and the full nine yards, just the amount of illegal business and crime that's going on is just off the charts.
Completely unprecedented in all of history.
Things like this are just simply not good enough.
Nonetheless, Yvette Cooper, Ms. Balls, insists that the New Deal is robust And it should be able to stand up to any sort of legal challenges.
Well, that's good to know.
That's good to know.
They've got their safe and legal routes locked in.
Good.
Oh, well, good.
Good for you guys.
The Guardian will be happy with that.
Hang on, we have safe and legal routes.
It's called a bloody embassy.
We've got them all over the world.
If you really need to seek refuge, there is an English embassy or British embassy within shooting distance of every major town in the world that you can go to to appeal for refuge.
Like that you don't need.
And when you can fly to England from Turkey for 35 quid, why are you paying three grand and five grand to some trafficker?
Plus whatever else that you can't afford to pay that he makes you work for while you're here in order to pay that off.
Why are you doing that rather than just getting the 35 quid EasyJet flight?
It's because you're a criminal and you shouldn't be here.
Bottom line, you know you won't get in through the front door.
Bottom line, because it's never been cheaper to fly into this country than it is right now.
Yeah, a bit later I've got a, I'll talk about the sort of the explosion in illegal business that's going on.
But here, straight away, even just the mainstream media, and actually that was the pitch I was talking about earlier.
Look at Starmer.
Look, could he be more wooden?
Could he be more sort of a postman pat?
Everything about him just screams.
An emotional nothing man, as you say.
An automaton, yeah.
Just like, what is the world that he looks out on?
Really?
Like, what's going on in his head and men like him?
Do robots dream of sheep?
No.
No.
They don't have thoughts or favourite films or emotions or dreams.
Yeah.
So anyway, straight away, even the mainstream media are saying that, wait a minute, this doesn't really add up still.
Even if you were just one of those people that wanted safe and legal routes for as many migrants as humanly possible, even if you did want that, this still wouldn't add up because they're saying that they'll send back something in the order of 50 people a week.
Well, on that day alone, 200 came on that one day.
44,000 arrived in the past year.
So 50 a week, if they even do that, they'll end up probably not even doing that, like, you know, like the Rwanda thing.
They just talk about it for ages and say there's lots and lots of bureaucracy and red tape and then just not do it.
So even if they did send 50 a week, that's still a drop in the ocean.
That's still a nonsense.
If you think, look, look at Macron.
Macron's happy, though.
He's got a decent idea.
He's got a win.
Who decides which one is the safe one, you know, with the background checks?
Does France do the background checks and then just go, oh, trust us, Britain, we've checked him out.
This one's good for you?
Or are we doing that?
A lot of the details seem that they're not actually ironed out because, oh, well, Nige said, this is what Nige said about it, which is actually fair enough.
I have a pop at Nige all the time, but that's what he's saying there.
This whole migrant deal is a humiliation as revenge for Brexit sort of thing.
I don't think that's wrong.
I think there's a big cadre of Remainers or pro-establishment, pro-EU people that do want to punish, essentially punish us for daring to try and have borders.
So I don't think Naja's wrong this time on that.
But yeah, like Yvette Cooper has said, we just don't know the numbers when pushed on it.
Go back to that picture.
Yes.
So the one before, if you think it was like, oh, you just caught him in that pose, right?
There he is again.
Completely different location, same expression.
Like someone's either curating these to make him look silly.
And if they are, it means he's lost the press.
Offering.
Which means he hasn't got long left.
And what a weird embrace that is as well.
Do you ever go to like shake hands with someone, but they go to do like the more the sort of the more masculine handshake?
Or you go to do a normal one and then like you go to do a high five but miss and do a handshake instead and it's just all kinds of weird.
It looks like that's what's going on there.
Like they're not sure how to really shake hands and embrace properly.
I don't know what that is.
They're both awkward men, aren't they?
Like nervous lovers.
Yeah, yeah.
So Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, has just sort of not really made it exactly clear when pressed.
Like how many numbers and who's going to do this?
Who does the vesting?
how is all this going to really work?
They're just saying basically...
Yeah, have patience.
They're saying have patience.
No, no, we've done that.
We've tried that.
We've had patience for years and years.
Yeah, it's been happening for years.
Yeah, we've run out of patience, actually.
We're one atrocity short of the mob re-emerging after 150 years, basically.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Possibly.
People are really, really irate.
Look, there's that weird embrace again.
What the hell?
Such weirdos, such freaks.
Can't we just have normal...
I can understand if it was like a proper Anglo-Saxon, you know, proper handshake.
Yeah, I could get that.
Or you grab the shoulder like Trump does, but that's just almost like a pseudo-Greco-Roman hold, you know?
He's tight and powdered with green oil, don't you?
Yeah.
Yeah, so people that, well, this is the BBC.
It'll be seen as a failure if numbers don't fall.
Well, numbers won't fall by definition.
That's at the heart of this deal is that the numbers won't go down at all.
We're just being gaslit, man.
Yeah, absolute gaslighting.
Yeah, absolute gaslighting.
Like, there's no reason.
When this began in 2020, I remember thinking, the Navy will show up next week.
Because regardless of what deal you have, what are they going to do?
Some judge says, oh, you can't just do it anyway.
And if necessary, put them under house arrest.
Like, this is bad for your people.
So your people should be your primary concern.
If you're running a country, you should look at the people within that nation like your own children.
You should care for them absolutely dearly, right?
And you look at some of that and you say, none of this has to stop.
This is an invasion.
They should not be coming in this way.
I would have had the Navy in there in 48 hours, five or six years ago.
wouldn't have been a thing and oh well because this judge was Most of the judges are corrupt anyway.
Just get them on that kiddie fiddling charge that you know is there in the background.
Push it in a paper.
Get them done and get them out.
You know that they're all dirty.
We know the gentlemen's clubs going on in London and what goes on in them.
I know personally what goes on in them.
So, just get them out if it's a problem, but nobody wants to.
And the big question has to be, well, why?
Why are we tolerating this?
And why aren't they doing anything about it?
Well, that was something I was going to say at the end, but I'll just say it now.
It would be my plan if I found myself to be suddenly absolute monarch of these islands.
I would just declare an emergency, so hopefully bypass the courts, or at least the Supreme Court, just say, no, the government says, we'll take cabinet responsibility for this.
The government says it's an emergency.
So we're sending in, and it only will take like one of our battleships, or not battleships, like a destroyer or whatever, a cruiser, one of those with a few Royal Marine tenders or speedboats, maybe a couple of SBS guys, one or two SAS guys.
Not very many.
It's not like the channel's absolutely, it's not like it's a continuous, like there's hundreds and hundreds.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It's their job.
Yeah.
Royal Marines and the SBS.
Let me add them.
We've got a speedboat here and we will tow them back.
Well, I haven't shot anyone for days.
Come on.
None of us will get hurt doing this.
Don't worry about that.
Yeah, just declare an emergency, send in the military, take it out of the hands of the RNLI or the Home Office.
They're not equipped, man.
And it's the Navy that will deal with this.
And there's that question of, oh, well, you can't just use the British military to tow dinghies or whatever back to French beaches because then you're invading sort of French soil.
I've heard a number of people say, no, that's not the case.
You can do that.
And anyway, what are the French?
Well, so I don't care.
Yeah, right.
What are the French dogs to do?
We're going to have a naval engagement.
Well, we'll have to do that then.
Pound for pound because we're getting invaded here.
Pound for pound, we've got the best soldiers in the world.
I don't really care.
My view is that France is an errand principality of England anyway.
So I would have just thrown up the cordial and I would have just sent them back and just went, no, screw it.
I don't really care.
And we can hash it out later.
And if you want to have a skirmish, we'll have a skirmish because I know we'll win.
So I'm not really bothered.
But this has to stop.
And we've just got weak men.
There's weak men everywhere.
And it's got to stop.
Like, the age of diplomacy is over.
Now, England might be late to this party, but I'm telling you, we're going to have 10 or 15 years of hard men doing very, very hard things.
Because this is now, once you're evoking the rage of the common man, then it is literally just a fuse that's burning.
That's all it is.
And it will reach that charge eventually.
And when it does, like, they're going to run like rats, telling you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like I've said before, like a pressure cooker.
Yeah.
We can all feel it.
And yeah.
Yeah, I can feel it.
Yeah.
And things like this, they're trying to let a tiny bit of pressure out of the pressure cooker.
We're going to make a deal.
Exactly.
We're going to do this.
And it's like, well, the pressure's building up far quicker than you're letting the tiny bit out.
Well, and also in doing such a non-gesture of a deal, you know, worse than nothing, you're actually increasing the pressure because all you're going to do is make the, you know, the people more irate.
I'm insulted.
I am insulted that you went on my behalf as an Englishman to go and make a deal and came back more limp wristed than anybody we've ever had in British history and in power.
It was unbelievable.
Could you imagine, like, Chamberlain wouldn't have been that weak, right?
He is weaker than Chamberlain, right?
Could you imagine Gladstone doing that?
Could you imagine Pitt the Younger doing that?
No.
Could you imagine any of the plantagenets doing that?
They would have handed them their backside.
Like, it just, it wouldn't have gone on.
So it's like, it's disgusting.
What's that phrase?
There are no capable men left in the royal court.
I like that one.
Yeah, that's where we are.
So I feel like, well, you remember when Rishi was Prime Minister?
And he's sort of one of his taglines, one of the main goals he had in government was stop the boats.
Again, you could just send in the Marines to do that, but he didn't.
So all of this is just gaslighting, absolute gaslighting.
And I feel like they will never stop.
We could have sort of riots every single day, like the very, very fabric of society falling apart, and they will still let these boats come across in crazy numbers.
Until they're stopped, they won't stop.
Yes.
They're not going to stop.
It's not.
Yeah, they have to be removed from power.
It will be someone else's mantle.
Politics is in overreach, though, and it has been since the war.
This was never meant to be the purview of government alone.
We had a trifecta system that was a balance of power with the executive authority lying with the monarch, right?
The monarch has abdicated his duties.
Where is the defender of the realm?
Charles the Absent.
Yeah, brilliant.
Yeah, that's what he is from now on.
Charles the Absent.
Where is he?
Like, I know his mother didn't repeal anything, but every monarch up to that point continuously repealed the overreach of government.
And now we have the situation where it's now out of control.
And it's run by essentially a low IQ political class.
They can't see far enough ahead to see the ramifications of what they're actually implementing.
They can only see the next day, the next day, and every day they're trying not to drown.
And whilst shift out as much money and power as possible.
It's wrong.
And the whole thing, it has to go.
It has to go.
And import as many unvetted foreign people as possible every single day.
Yeah.
I mean, one thing to say that I'm sure people in the comments will say, so just mention it, although we usually do when we talk about the small boats.
We here at Lotus Eater certainly are...
Of course.
So to sort of moan a bit about the illegal immigration, moan a bit about the boats is actually, well, you're missing the point.
Why aren't you talking about legal immigration?
We do do that as well, don't we?
A lot.
Even more.
It's not that we're not aware of that, but this is in the news today.
If you think about it in terms of war strategy, all that's happened is we've been front-loaded with an attack because there's the main battle force that we want to get to.
They've sent out a skirmish brigade to pin us down.
That's what all of this is.
It's to stop us getting to the bigger issues.
So it's basically, we know that they're going to clamp down on this.
Let's just front-load the issue with another wave of something else.
Like Jenkins Khan used to use all of the captured individuals as the first wave, get them in so that my lads can then come in and just mop up.
And he had like a million people strong.
So, all they're doing is front-loading the issues to stop us getting to the bigger issues that are behind this.
Because if the 2020 election had gone the other way, right, we'd be having the same types of conversations, but it would be around China and the overreach of China, right?
But we're not now because since then, the world, the West has just fallen into absolute chaos.
And we can't get to the bigger issues of the bigger problems where the levers are really being pulled because we're basically dying by death by a thousand cuts here.
No, absolutely.
We can't even look out the window because we're still trying to just tidy the house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's like, no, like somebody just has to come in, full on Macho Man Randy Savage and just clear the decks.
Strong arm them, you know, and just literally smash it.
Just somebody needs to come in and just literally hammer fist.
You need, you don't need Cromwell, but you need the spirit that led to Cromwell, right?
You need, because he became a bit mad in the end, but you need that spirit, that strength of this is undignified for the English people.
We should not, as the greatest nation the West has ever seen, we should not be living like this.
This is wrong.
And it's an absolute mortal sin for you to impose that upon us.
Couldn't agree more.
One final thing then before we finish up with this segment is that even BBC Verifier, one of the most insidious peddlers of myths and disinformation, pretending.
Got to be an oxymoron.
They found a woman and child for the...
Yeah, pretending that they're the arbiters of truth.
Yeah, even the photo is just...
They're now talking about the informal economy.
You mean organized crime?
Sorry, you mean organized crime?
That's what you're talking about.
So organized crime.
Yeah, and everyone knows, again, you just have to walk onto any high street in the country and you'll just see these fake vape shops, fake barbers, fake sweet shops, or whatever.
And they're obviously fronts for money laundering, people laundering, whatever.
Oh, that's the informal economy now.
Like illegal activism.
It's irregular migration.
Yeah, irregular migration.
Almost every foreign-owned business has some form of illegal activity going on with it.
I know for certain.
I know people who have these businesses.
They've took me through and went, that one's doing people trafficking.
That one's drugs.
That one's sex.
That one's this.
That one's that.
So it is, if we went back to the 1970s, we'd see it there.
It might have been on a lower level.
But where do you think a lot of this money came from?
It came from the underworld.
Like this, this is, you know, how are they doing that?
You walk into a shop and there's £10,000 worth of stock within that shop, right?
They got three staff.
They got rent rates, at least £1,000 a week to run that unit, right?
Plus everything else.
Where's that money coming from?
And no customers ever.
I demand a better class of criminal.
I want them in three piece suits and called Ronnie, Reggie Cray.
Yes, because I had this conversation with a family member, and it was that thing I touched on earlier about the crime families, how the northeast of England, we have a pitch turf war between the Gypsy crime families and the Albanian crime families, right?
And the Gypsies kind of have the upper hand at the moment.
And somebody complained, I said, yeah, but they're my criminal.
And I'd rather have, because I can have parlance with my criminal because I know that his uncle knows my uncle, right?
And we can sit down and go, yeah, look, we built this, our ancestors built this town, we have this area, this area.
You can sit down and you can at least have some form of discussion with them based on a common bond of either culture, land or blood.
When it's the Albanian guys, they'll chop you up into bits and put you in a bin.
So I'd rather I had my own.
A lot of these old world criminals would look after Mrs. Smith when she ran out of coal in the winter.
If someone went around and attacked young Jane who lived on her own with three kids, they'd go find out who it was and break their legs.
Yes.
Which that was the town I grew up in.
We had our own justice.
And it was, you'd rather, you knew who to go.
If you had a problem, you knew who to go to.
And they would help you out.
No questions asked.
What do you need?
But they were also doing whatever they did, but they had honor.
And I'd rather we went back.
I'd rather, in this period of time, all better off.
We'll sort out the morality later.
But at the minute, we've kind of got a nation to save.
It's all hands on deck, isn't it?
Again, BBC, yeah, you can reason with old school mobsters.
Yeah.
There's Syrians or Afghans that came over two years ago.
Not so much.
They talk about the shadow economy.
Again, organised crime.
Talk about organised crime there.
Okay.
Apparently, it's worse in Italy and France, a little bit worse.
But 10% of the UK GDP is the shadow economy or irregular business.
10%?
That seems mad to me.
If it was 2%, I'd be a guardian.
In cash terms, how much are we talking there?
I don't know.
Tons, right?
It's got to be billions, right?
Yeah.
I don't know what that is in sort of sterling as a pound sterling.
idea uh but yeah how could you That's crazy to me.
It's disgusting.
Yeah, it's sickening and embarrassing, humiliating that we've somehow allowed that to be the case.
What on earth?
This is where liberalism gets you, boys.
Yeah.
Okay, so we'll leave the segment there.
But yeah, a really, really crap non-deal was made between England and France.
Great.
Non-deal deal.
So I'll just go through some rumble rants.
That's Random Name says, I like this guest.
I love listening to psychological analysis.
What would the best way to deal with malignant narcissists be?
First of all, thanks, ma'am.
It's really nice.
You've got to...
They can't ever have power.
Like, when we get through this, being a politician needs to be a pseudo-spiritual function.
It needs to be a vocational thing where people have to have moral and ethic, actual stability, and if necessary, IQ and psychological evaluations.
So you can't really deal with a middle-aged narcissist.
They can't be cured.
Like, you can't cure cannibals.
Benin.
You can't fix these things.
Like, you just can't.
You know, we're finding that, like, you can't let them in.
They just need to be relegated, and you've got to shut them out.
People just need to be aware.
It's like the dark male tetrahad.
It's all part of this.
But you do find a lot of people in the left are malignant narcissists.
It's this, it's the, all right, great characteristic is umbrage from Harry Potter.
But it's for you.
It's for your good.
And they'll be very, very happy and feel wonderful whilst they're ebbing your blood from your veins because it's good for you, right?
So we're back at the Aztec times and we need Cortez to show up, basically, and teach them what to watch.
So you can't deal with them.
Larivy01 says, lads, I tell myself I watch Load Seaters for the intellectual rhetoric and great knowledge of history.
But Dan's segment about Harry Bowles and Dick Pound is why I really watch great work.
Yeah, it was an honor to be on that panel.
It was a fun panel.
Right, I'll crack on with this then.
So, as some of you may have seen as of last night, this picture that was going around on X of an effigy in Northern Ireland, obviously, as you can see there, stop the boats, veterans before refugees, and a, yes, a dinghy on the top of it with 12 mannequin sea people.
So let's be clear, if this is new to anyone, that's not real humans being immolated.
No real humans were Wickerman style burnt by Lord Summer Isle in this.
So I'm going to work backwards on this.
Let's ask ourselves, how did we get here?
How did it come to this?
Well, I'm going to do a bit of a Putin, provide some context.
You know, 30 seconds to a minute tops.
And we're going to begin in 1690 by talking a little bit about the Battle of the Boyne.
Because that is what these bonfires are commemorating and celebrating.
They were organised by, in Northern Ireland, you have a period from beginning in March until the late summer called marching season, which is generally organised by the Orange Order to commemorate the victory of William III, William of Orange at the Battle of the Boyne, obviously against the forces of Catholic King James II.
And after the Battle of the Boyne, James II fled to France and never returned.
So it's seen as a very, very symbolic victory for Protestantism and for Unionists.
And obviously, the Northern Irish Patriots and Unionists who want to be part of Great Britain, the United Kingdom, obviously hold these bonfires as part of the festivals and the parades every year.
This is an annual thing.
It's massive as well.
Do you see how many like that's pallets, isn't it?
It's palpable.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen before, before this has happened, before they've built massive ones, they're like many stories tall sometimes, aren't they?
A giant bonfire.
I saw one that was saying one was 64 meters high.
Meters?
Meters.
That's massive.
That's crazy.
I'll send you a photo.
Yeah, I saw the photo.
It was extraordinary.
It was genuinely extraordinary.
Although that seems to have been an outlier.
I don't think they were all quite like that.
And obviously the bonfires are also significant because William was led in by bonfire, by the beacons.
They were lighting the beacons for William to come.
So obviously what you have here, as I say, is a long tradition of burning and bonfires.
And you can see from this was from last year.
The bonfire, this is in the same place.
The context, it's all falling into place now.
Right.
It's not spheres they're making out, is it?
No.
So last year, they burnt a police car on top of the pyre.
Very impressive getting the police car on top of the pyre.
Yeah, how did they do that?
They hire like a big crane.
How could you do that?
Michael O'Malley's got the gear.
He probably came down and shoved it off.
Two minutes, lads.
Oh, that's why.
Yes, so all of this dates back to...
Yeah, the Orange Institution was founded back in 1795.
Right.
So we're looking at, you know, over 200 years of history here.
And obviously it was very, very volatile trying to allow it to persevere through the troubles in the 20th century.
But you also have this one here, as I say, which was made last year in protest against two-tier policing.
That's what this is symbolic of.
So it's, again, you can see, well, which side of the political system do they fall upon?
Well, they fall upon the patriotic British side that recognizes that the British state is being used to persecute the British people in their own homelands.
So these unionists, these British patriots are obviously very, very consistent on this.
And last year, the loyalist activist Jamie Bryson said, I think this is a bit of edgy artistic expression, a bit like, for example, kneecap, saying, if that type of expression is welcome from the nationalist community, then I see no reason why similar unionist efforts would not draw similar applause unless, of course, there were double standards afoot.
of course this draws in the general moral questioning of effigies and whether or not they are in poor taste but everyone who Oh, I agree.
You should be anyway.
It's our duty, if anything.
Spitting image, for God's sake.
Punch.
It's what we do.
It's like you far rather we let that out that way than take to the streets and pull you all out of parliament and show you what's what, right?
Well, and as you can see here, I just uh took this article from the BBC.
You can see this is back from 2018: Boris Johnson effigy.
Uh, you also have, where is it?
Uh, Wayne Rooney effigy.
I remember one time Beckham messed up something or other, right?
And there was effigies, they were hanging an effigy of Beckham.
Yeah, and uh, I think Gareth Southgate in Euro 96, did they desecrate an effigy of Gareth Southgate one time?
Oh, did they?
I mean, it just, it happens.
Yeah.
It is in bad taste.
Yeah.
A bit.
Yeah.
But it's also a luck, essentially, isn't it?
Yes.
No real human being is getting hurt.
No one thinks that because this effigy was burnt, that someone is actually going to set Boris Johnson on fire.
Right.
Right?
No one thinks this.
In the same way that no one should reasonably think that just because this symbolic gesture has been burnt, the Northern Irish, you know, British Patriots are going to go to Dover with flamethrowers.
Right?
It's not going to happen.
It's like, hold on, lads, I've got an idea for a yearly music festival brewing.
The Burning Board Festival.
It does look like quite an album cover, to be honest.
We could do that every year until it stops.
It would be huge.
It is interesting that it's the The folk, the folk up in Northern Ireland, not the folk in Kent, that are doing this.
No.
Fighting Irish.
I'm half Northern Irish.
I was raised up to fight.
You settled everything with your fists.
It was like, Come on, you are fighting like a man.
I've seen a few of them.
Basically, that's how I was raised until I practiced in hospital.
And then I just went, whoa, hang on, hang on.
I'm getting a bit big and a bit old.
I'm going to seriously hurt somebody here.
But I was raised that you basically, if you had an issue with somebody, you walked outside, first man down, lost.
And that's how I was brought up.
So that's entirely how they live.
They live by that code.
So it's no surprise at all.
But they're also deeply connected to their emotions.
So they will, like the Greeks, they'll let it out.
They won't keep it.
The English will retain it within their breast and then crush you entirely at the appropriate moment.
The Irish will let it out at that point and let you know exactly.
They'll cut you and kiss you.
Let you know exactly what's happening.
Well, I covered on the podcast a few weeks back that riot that happened also in Northern Ireland to do with a minority group that had there been suspicions about attempted sexual assault.
And the whole community came out.
You know, police cars were burnt and that just seems to be very much a part of the temperament.
And so obviously, but the real thing here that I found very interesting, and I was halfway actually through recording a daily on this yesterday before the actual burning took place.
And then I said, no, why don't I just hold off and see if this actually goes up in flames?
Because that was really the question here.
Are the, or are all of the parties in the Irish Parliament and the British state, are they actually going to let that be set ablaze?
Right?
Because they wanted to prevent it, didn't they?
Yep.
Calls for removal of migrant refugees.
Yeah, and the Sinn Féin Assembly member for Firmina and South Tyrone said that it was vile and deplorable and, you know, obviously typical of far-right attitudes and it should be removed immediately.
I wonder if the Sinn Féin member would feel the same way if it was a bunch of Englishmen as the effigies, as the mannequins in that boat.
So that's apparently racist and far-right, but blowing up English soldiers and cars and knee-capping Protestant Irish women in Northern Ireland wasn't.
Apparently.
No, apparently.
Look, I'm Catholic, Northern Irish, right?
And I was raised on Dublin as songs and all the rest of it.
We had to stop going to Ireland when the trouble started because the lads here were in the British Army and they couldn't wrap their heads around it.
We only started going back about 20 years ago.
But I know that Sinn Féin was a Marxist organisation that basically used the Irish people to try and subvert the British.
It had nothing to do with the Irish cause at all.
They used them as pawns and you can see it now.
They would literally sacrifice all of those people for whatever Marxist demand comes next.
They will feed the communist spectre.
They'll feed every person in Ireland to the communist spectre, if that's what it asked.
Well, their mistake, like so many then, is thinking that they'll be the ones to survive the revolution.
Aren't they?
Everyone.
That's the point.
Marx himself wrote that he wanted to completely destroy humanity and then build a throne upon its bones and ashes.
So that is the whole goal of all of it, is to completely destroy.
It is just destruction.
So you might wonder with this, well, obviously this is a gesture of resistance from unionists.
So what is the Democratic Unionist Party, how do they feel about it?
Are they on board?
Well, they said it absolutely should not take place, of course.
You also had the police service of Northern Ireland saying that there now needs to urgently remove the effigy, and our political leaders in this area need to step up and condemn this absolutely unacceptable behaviour.
And so there was this real clash of wills, right, between the local population and the state and whether or not this was actually going to happen.
Now, I'm not going to pretend that it seems somewhat arbitrary on this occasion that really they checked in with the shareholders and they checked in with the local council and they just couldn't find enough of a reason for whatever case to actually remove it.
Maybe it was just that no one was brave enough to climb on top and try and get it off.
Who knows?
It is interesting though that there was that much pushback from the establishment and that they didn't stop it because quite often when they want to do something like that they'll they'll just do It and they'll find a reason afterwards.
It's interesting that they didn't stop it.
I think Ireland's more finely balanced than we are, and we're not very finely balanced at all at the minute in terms of kicking off.
I think Ireland's even more definitely.
And they know all they can do is throw words at it because if they try and stop them, then Michael O'Malley will come around with his crane.
And it will, it'll just kick off because that's what they do.
That's how they settle things.
And they will show you what's what.
It's a case of, are you to be governed or is your power structure to be an expression of the will of the people?
And it's basically, are you accepting the English model of how things should be done or the model that the rest of the world adopted?
And that's where we're at now.
And it's a case of they want to use something foreign, a foreign way of doing things that is stemming out of Marxism and liberalism.
Or do you accept the English thing where it is you are representation of your people and the will of the people?
And this is the shoredown that's happening.
And it also goes to show as well, exactly as you were saying, David, about the sheer gulf of difference and loyalty between the people and those who tyrannize them and those who are governing right now.
Because all the authorities were unanimously against this.
Unanimously against it.
It's like, well, but if you're supposed to be representing the people and we can't find one guy, we can't find the one guy in the party who's saying, no, I really understand where the frustration is coming from on this.
I understand the anger.
Exactly what you were saying in your previous segment, though.
This has been going on for years.
It is entirely unjust that the British people are having to deal with this day after day.
Or even the argument that I don't agree with what they're doing.
I think it's in bad taste.
Yet nonetheless, they should be allowed to do it.
Not even that.
No, not even that.
Not even that.
No, they were told actually that by the DUP that it was the bonfires were an historical and cultural tradition stretching back to the fires lit to welcome the arrival of King William and should be a positive cultural celebration.
They were.
It was a positive cultural celebration of their culture.
This is what they do.
But it's like, no, no.
Unless you're a Catholic.
It should be what we want it to be.
Tough tips.
Sorry.
Like, it's really that simple.
Yeah, if that boat was full of right-wing commentators, effigies of Katie Hopkins and Rupert Law and everybody else, they wouldn't bat an eyelid.
No.
No, not at all.
In fact, you know.
They'd have even made the news, probably.
Well, also, it's like, well, when you go back to it, it's like, what was the, you know, when you look at the Glorious Revolution, it's a total clash of two ideals about who should be king, what is the divine order, the divine order, or, you know, parliament, or all of these massive questions, right?
It's what is the future of this island going to be?
What is the future of this union?
And that has to be resolved by conflict, right?
And so for them to come out and just say, well, you know, it's just about positivity.
It's like, yeah, but positivity and preserving the good requires defense, right?
And the Irish people want to defend Ireland and Britain against this because this will break their home, our home.
Did you grow up in a house with a garden, either of you?
Yes.
And was the garden well maintained and kept?
Definitely not.
Right.
It was in Wales.
Yeah.
So how?
How was it well maintained?
How did they keep it in good order?
My mum worked on it a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she would have kept out the weeds and pruned it and you would have had walls.
The private hedge.
Oh my God.
The endless.
Within that.
Strawberries in summer.
Within that garden, there is beauty.
Yeah.
Right.
And there is respite and there is splendor and there are fruits and bounty.
Well, your nation is exactly the same.
If you do not have the walls to the garden and you're not actively pruning out the weeds and tendering and nurturing, then you have what we have now, which is basically an island full of weeds.
And it has to stop.
It just has to.
We either do it or the asteroid comes.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, it has to.
A dumped broken washing machine in the front garden.
Yeah, it's got to stop, man.
So, obviously, there is also now the case of, well, was all of this an enormous hate crime?
So there will, of course, be that.
Hate crime against mannequins.
Yeah.
Yep, that'll be it.
So I'll just also say as well, it looked like it was quite a fun night.
You'll see that there's...
It is big, isn't it?
It is.
Bit of music, some nice marching, warm fire on the summer's day, probably some good food.
If you're in Stormont, that would terrify you, wouldn't it?
Seems like a good time to move.
As long as there's a good hot dog van and some burgers.
Yeah.
So, I'm not sure so far at the moment.
Is that an Irish flag at the time?
Oh, yes, and an Irish flag.
They don't give a ffff.
They do not.
They do not.
I can see why the establishment and the police are like...
I'll fight you for it.
You can see why the cups are like, we're just going to back away slowly from these people.
The thing is, all that is happening is they're pushing the Anglosphere together.
Because your red-headed Irish are Anglo-Irish.
You're dark hairs, they're the girls, right?
So all that's going to happen is we're just going to come together more and more as a brotherhood.
We are.
We are going to end up being.
And then they're going to wonder when we turn and we make that defensive square like Wellington.
They're going to wonder what the hell happened.
And say, but you did this.
You did this to us.
You forced us into a corner.
You know, Kipling had it perfect.
It comes to him late.
And it's, you know, it's not natural.
It's not natural for us to be like this.
But if you push us to war, we will absolutely destroy you because that's what we do.
We utterly crush our enemies.
That is the point.
Do not push us into this corner.
And we can be your greatest ally.
We can help your countries.
We can do this.
We can do that.
We are an intellectually brilliant nation with aptitude and a willingness to see others succeed.
Do not push us into this because you will regret it.
They seem absolutely hell-bent on that, though.
Yeah, they want the reaction and we're just restraining.
And everyone says the English are being weak.
It's like, no, we're not.
We're being restrained because if we go to war, we don't go all out pitch battles.
We will become systematic.
We will organize and marshal.
It will be new model RD 2.0.
And you do not want to see that.
No, we don't.
We want to resolve it through peaceful means.
And the most peaceful mean that you can do.
And this is the thing, oh, this is all divises.
This is all divisive.
Why don't you just stop the boats?
It's the elephant.
And then there'll be no division.
Just stop the boats, reduce the immigration.
Like we've all been screaming at you to do for decades and decades.
But they won't do that.
It's like, okay, then people are going to react to it.
If you're not going to.
I'll give you another point.
What have we actually done?
What have we done to stop any of this, whether it's the immigration or the rape gangs or whatever?
Nothing.
It all just intensifies.
We've had four elections and we've took them at their word, right?
We had, and the Brexit referendum was one of those.
We've shouted and screamed when some newspaper articles came out.
We've had a couple of United Kingdom rallies in London.
And that's really all we have done yet.
We've got five independent-ish voices in the Houses of Parliament.
We've got one guy who's constantly breaking world record deadlifts when it comes to being member of the House of Parliament and Rupert Lowe, right?
He's outbenching everybody by megatons, right?
But as a people, we haven't done that yet.
We haven't done that.
And they're terrified.
They're screaming.
They are literally petrified because we're only just gearing up to flex.
So you don't...
And nobody does.
So it's like, can you please just listen before we have to take care of it ourselves?
And guys who are more psychopathic than the Chris Hargreaves of this world set up their own organizations and go start taking care of this because we're not very far away from this.
Worrying.
It is.
It is.
So I hope that everyone had a good night last night.
And yeah, I'll be interested to see what's on top of the bonfire next year.
Right.
I'll just read a few comments.
Yeah, could you read all the.
Sorry, I was just conscious of time.
That was.
No, no, it's no worries.
My last segment isn't massive, so.
Yep, okay.
Go back to the beginning and make sure we read every one of them.
Logan Pine says, it looks like this is obviously for your segment, Bo.
It looks like he needs his Dark Lord again.
He doesn't work well without him.
That's true.
Yeah.
Wear his tone when you need him.
Also, you've got Connor's Smugmug saying, they didn't take it down because they knew that there would be a scrap proper.
Yeah, most likely as well.
Can they enforce it?
What would the kickback be?
Yeah, no, entirely.
Entirely.
Were there not one or two others that didn't get red?
They've all been clicked, so I'm not sure which one.
Yeah, Jack clicked some that I think didn't get red.
Scott SeaGuy says, just mind the channel, problem solved, and great, cheers.
And you get the bonus of taking out French fishing boats, which we obviously don't enjoy.
Don't get me started on that, man.
Yeah.
Slight after slight.
Okay, let's go over to you, Ral.
All right.
So what's my third segment?
Bear with me just a moment here.
Okay.
So just a little segment here, just about an update on the UK economy.
So perhaps some of our foreign viewers, it might not be the most interesting thing.
But it needs to be said because it's come out in the last day or so.
It's in the news cycle at the moment that the British economy shrunk again, only by a small amount, 0.1%.
But anything short of out and out growth, according to some economists, is a disaster.
And remember that Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, her whole thrust of being in number 11 was to make the economy grow.
And it's been two months in a row where it's shrank now.
One thing I would say that personally, I don't think it's necessarily the end of the world if the GDP goes down a tiny amount.
It's not actually the end of the world.
There are other things that matter more than that, like real-time prices, for example.
Like the inflation of actual goods is more important than the GDP shrinking by 0.1% over the course of one month.
Well, especially seeing as the major solution that they've had to increasing the GDP over all the, you know, since I've been alive has just been mass migration as well.
I'm kind of indifferent to the GDP at this point.
Kind of cold towards it.
We need more people.
Don't worry about that unemployment goes up.
Massively goes up.
We just need more people to have forced GDP to go up.
Really?
Is that how it works?
Is that how it works?
Of course it doesn't.
So anyway, here's just a few headlines.
Just saying that it doesn't look good.
It doesn't look good.
Rachel Reeves.
Rachel Reeves, chief noticer of things.
Yeah.
It's disappointing.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it's really bad.
It unexpectedly shrinks.
That was when I was going through loads and loads of headlines.
It was always that it was shock.
It's a shock.
And we're disappointed.
We thought it would grow, but it's unexpectedly shrunk.
Really?
Is it that unexpected?
Is it really?
When you just, for a number of reasons, the economy, I mean, look at just look at, well, okay, talk about inflation for a while.
We've had really bad inflation ever since Biden, right?
Ever since what, like the middle or even the first third of the Biden administration?
So in other words, years on end now, things are so much more expensive.
You'll get economists, you know, actual professional economists just saying, that's not true.
Have you ever seen that on the news?
You've got on the mainstream news?
You'll get a famous economist saying, it's not true.
No, things aren't all that much more expensive than they were four or five years ago.
It's like, you're just lying to my face.
Go to Tesco's or Morrison's and buy a block of cheese.
See how expensive that is.
Five quid or something.
Stupid.
I have to say, on the personal level, I'm infuriated by inflation on corned beef.
Specifically accept me.
Specifically corned beef.
Specifically corn beef.
It's really expensive, though.
What it used to be.
£7, £8 a kilo.
It's now like minimum £12.
Steaks like £18, $19, £20 a kilo.
Some steaks are £25, $30 a kilo now.
I eat a lot of steak.
I eat loads of steak.
So, yeah, it's just, and I've worked it, look, I worked at the restaurant trade.
It's insane.
It is insane the cost of stuff now.
And again, one of the biggest things was cheese.
Cheese just became ridiculously expensive.
And then we had the Durham wheat crop fails.
So pasta went through the roof.
It's just, yeah, they're just lying.
But then, from what I understand, the Fabian society gift to the Labour Party their policy.
Now, their whole reason for being is to usher in a gentle version of socialism and slide into communism.
She'd have just been handed that and told, oh, it's great.
It's good.
It's good, Rich.
It'll work.
So she hasn't came up with that at all.
She hasn't got a clue what she's doing.
She's not an economist, is she?
She got sacks with fiddling her expenses.
Like, she's not, or she got pushed out.
She's not a genius at all.
It'll have been handed to her with the express point of collapsing the economy.
Well, that was the next point I was going to say.
It's almost like it.
No, no, no, no.
Duffed how perfectly.
That's what I was about to say.
It's almost like they're deliberately trying to tank the whole thing.
I mean, they're just doing the exact wrong things.
So we've had mass inflation, not mass inflation, but we've had inflation for quite a while now.
Like year on year on year.
So when they say, oh, we'll get inflation down to 2%, and that's our goal, that's our target, and we've done it, aren't we great?
No.
Because we've suffered years of inflation at like 7% or 9% or whatever it is.
And now it's merely at 2%.
That's still really bad.
So no, it's not good enough.
And then you find on top of that massive unemployment.
They don't want to talk about exactly why.
But, you know, quite large unemployment.
Massive, ridiculous bills for the NHS, for welfare.
And then just another million new people a year on top of that, or 700,000 or 800,000 or whatever it is, a year, year on year.
Yeah, you're ruining the economy.
Yes, obviously you are.
And now you're shocked that the economy is unexpectedly not growing.
Come on.
Come on.
We know Starma's aligned with Davos, right?
Most people think tanks on the left are aligned with that.
When Schwab released his book, COVID-19, The Great Reset, which was written in remarkable speed, I have to admit.
He talks about the fact that they have to collapse the economies of the countries in Europe.
It's like they're going to start the process.
They've got to get rid of the leisure industry, hospitality industry.
All small economies have to go.
They have to collapse all the economies in Europe because they have to, and particularly the independent businesses, small businesses, because they're essentially recession-proof.
So they need to dwindle it down to such a size.
And he literally says so they can bring in a Chinese-style credit system.
And everything that he wrote in that book in May 2020 is kind of happening step by step by step.
And we're sleepwalking into it.
And we are.
And this is where they're trying to go.
They're trying to push us into a situation where we do have to have some sort of universal basic income.
We do have to have some sort of top-down, government-me-hard-a-daddy government rescue plan.
But it's like we have to...
We have no mechanism to march on the country.
We've got no mechanism to stop this.
We've got no legal channel to actually sue the government when these things happen.
Whatever happens when we get through that, we need to install a safety mechanism that the public can activate.
This is supposed to be the monarch's job.
We shouldn't be having this conversation.
We'll stop.
But yes, I don't think she knows she's collapsing the economy or she wouldn't be crying in Parliament.
I think the powers that hand her her legislation know that they're collapsing the economy.
You go and sit in number 11, put your little picture up of some commie woman you admire and let us ruin the economy on your behalf.
In your name.
We're still going to be first female Chancellor, so well done.
Yep.
Yeah, brilliant.
First and last of this is anything to call by.
Yeah.
It won't be the last time.
Yeah, so all the headlines are just like disappointed, shock, unexpected.
Come on.
It's just, it's not.
It's not.
We can all see what you're doing.
And I wouldn't be surprised, David, because what you just said there, it sounds sort of really cynical or it's in the realms of just speculation.
But I don't think so at all.
I think you're right on the money there.
I would suspect that it's a deliberate, not even 4D chess, it's a deliberate sort of 2D chess plan.
It's so obvious ruining so the state, we can make it a command economy.
Yeah, yeah.
It's out in the open.
They don't lie.
And it's so banal and obvious that no one's looking for it.
Because everyone's been queuing on into thinking everything's 5D chess.
I mean, let's listen to this chap real quick.
It's a Tory MP, but nonetheless, what he's saying, I think, is sort of all correct.
I'm afraid to say the Labour government put through the biggest set of tax rises in a generation.
They announced them last in the budget.
They took effect in April, a couple of months ago.
And what has now happened in the two months after those tax rises?
The economy has shrunk.
This is now two months in a row, the economy has shrunk.
That's not happened by accident.
There's no global recession.
It's happened directly because of the choices Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have made.
They are destroying jobs.
Unemployment has gone up every single month of this Labour government.
They're whacking up taxes.
I'm afraid they're going to put up taxes even more in October.
And what are tax rises do?
They kill the economy.
They kill jobs.
And that is why our economy is shrinking.
Now, to get taxes down, we need to control the insane levels of welfare expenditure.
Kemi gave a very good speech on that yesterday about getting welfare bills down.
Very disappointing that Nigel Farage doesn't support that.
Nigel Farage supports higher welfare spending.
He thinks we should get rid of the two-child benefit cap so people can have like six children, and hard-working taxpayers have to pay for that.
So I'm very disappointed by Nigel's position on the welfare question.
We need to get welfare down in order to be able to control and reduce taxes.
Labour aren't doing that.
Taxes going up and the economy, as a consequence, is going down under Labour, sadly.
Okay.
Talk about welfare all the time, but they won't talk about the million new people a year.
They just talk about it as welfare, as a welfare bill.
Welfare spending is going up.
Yeah, because you're flooding us with new people that don't work or can't work or refuse to work or go into that shadow economy or whatever it was.
And that we can't get rid of because they don't want to shave the beard back in Pakistan or whatever some court has decreed.
They're going to miss their chicken nuggets so we can possibly send them back or whatever it is.
Yeah, whatever nonsense it is.
They're just always avoiding...
The immigration issue.
It's not the only thing which is damaging our economy.
I'm not saying that.
But it's a massive, massive part of it.
What do they expect?
The issue I have with politics is that it is power hungry.
So this man there, and I'm sure he's a lovely man when he's not on his political suit, but he's in Whitehall, he's in his bubble, and he's essentially suckling at the teeth of the power wolf, right?
Everyone has to adopt a supine position.
Everyone has to get on their knees and pay fealty to this beast, hoping that it'll throw them a scrap of something someday.
So everyone thinks, this is my five minutes.
I can say my party line that will aggrandize me within that circle, and the power wolf will throw me a bone, right?
Because I've been a good little boy and I will suckle at their teeth, right?
This is wrong.
Party politics has to die.
It has to die.
We can't do this anymore.
We have to be able to elect the best and brightest across the spectrum to run the country.
And if they don't, they're in trouble.
Who was it?
Was it Wessex or Sussex who lost a principality in France and the king tried to pardon him and exile him?
And they went down and caught him on Dover as he was trying to leave the country and executed him on the deck of the boat.
Right?
That is how we used to.
Was that in the age of Queen Elizabeth I?
No, it was before.
It was one of the plantagenets.
It was one of the poor kings, one of the Henry's, I think.
Was it a Henry or an Edward?
Henry IV.
14 something or other.
But this is how seriously we used to take failure of the country.
Now it's rewarded.
It is rewarded because there is a power structure behind them, which is just disgusting.
It's disgusting.
And if that had been anybody else, they would have been speaking in terms of the benefit for the people.
And they're not.
All they can do is go, you smell, you smell, and you smell more.
And it's just, it's juvenile.
And it's got to stop.
We do not deserve.
In a sense, we do deserve it because we've allowed it to happen.
But actually, we don't deserve this.
And we have to step up and just say, no, enough's enough.
This has to stop.
It has to stop.
We can't do this anymore.
I personally think that MP should work for free.
You go back to that old Georgian system where they work for free.
You've got some really successful person who's quite elderly.
They've been out there in the world, had some experience, been successful, and then they want to give back and represent the local community.
Whereas now you get 80k a year.
Well, it's straight out of uni.
There are one or two, aren't there?
80km a year looks great.
Well, Rupert Lowe gives his wage away, doesn't he?
Yeah.
But that was the point of having affluent people so they were less susceptible to corruption.
Yes.
This was another socialist myth.
It wasn't about an egregious dam against the lower classes.
It was because they were less corruptible and they'd been trained and they'd been educated to understand the complexities of the issues they were in.
And coming back to your point, that lack of education is clearly present in this Labour government and not in Rachel Reeves, but in Parliament as a whole.
Like if we IQ tested Parliament and said that everyone below 100 can't be a politician, we'd have hardly anybody left.
That's just a truth.
And I'm sure Rupert Law would absolutely attest.
It doesn't bode well, I must say.
So just to talk about myself, just very quickly, I haven't got a PhD in economics, although I have got a master's in politics where I studied political economy a bit.
And I have worked for asset management and investment banks, private banks for 18 odd years.
So again, I'm not a professional economist, but I know a little bit about what I'm talking about.
More than Rachel Reeves.
Gold is at a very, very, very high level.
Bitcoin is at a very, very, very high level.
Guilt markets are shaky.
Right.
Unemployment's higher.
Immigration is through the roof with no end in sight.
Taxes going up and up and up.
Inflation seemingly unstoppable.
All these things tend towards a terrible collapse of some type.
And it will make the credit crunch.
We've talked with Dan Tubb about this a few times.
It will tend towards not a credit crunch, but something much more severe than that.
Than what we had in, what was it, 08, 09, was that back when the credit crunch was?
Something worse than that, where it's not just commercial banks.
It will be even central banks.
Looking at Grid Depression 2.0, aren't we?
Right.
Where they can't be bailed out.
There's no one to bail them out.
So the only thing they'll be able to do is quantitative easing.
Just print more money, which makes inflation go through the roof.
You'll end up with hyperinflation.
So as far as I can see, unless some serious grown-ups get in control of the economy, we are heading towards a collapse and hyperinflation.
I hope this ages really badly.
I hope in five, ten years' time, someone can play that back to me.
And he's like, you got that wrong.
But I fear that that's what will happen.
I think it'll happen.
And I think what it'll do is it'll push everyone back to the gold.
Well, That's why gold, the price of gold is.
I think by 2030.
If it's not an all-time high, it's close.
Sorry, David.
No, no, no.
I just think by 2032, there's a high possibility that we could be back on gold.
I think we're that close to the collapse.
You think so?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Dan Tubb would agree with you.
You can just see it like, and I'm not an academic in the least, right?
I basically spent my life meditating and running small businesses, right?
But I know I know more about the economy than she does.
Because I've had to sit in a business.
I've had to work out what the minimum wage increase does.
And it's just an accumulative tax that just grows and grows and grows, right?
But, and I look at this and I just kind of, He can just see things happen and go, well, that's going to happen.
That's going to happen.
I can do that a bit.
And I can just look at it and go, well, this isn't going to get beyond 2028, 2029.
And it's what will kick this lot out.
It'll be an economic collapse.
Because I don't think they're going to make it to 2029.
And I've said that since July 5th last year.
You think Starmer's position will just erode and his own backbenchers will force something?
I'm interested.
What do you think?
How will that play out?
There's two things.
There's this concept from the Chinese Buddhists that came out of a story that people who are going to be leader have what they call the divine cloak around them.
You can see the presence around them and they know.
So it'll be like that person can go into war or they'll come back and worry.
He has the cloak.
Right.
And there's lots of stories where this happened and they said it and it was true.
Someone like Tony Blair had the divine cloak around them.
Someone like Margaret Thatcher, and you could see it in them.
Now, you might want to call it charisma.
I think it's that mixed with another etheral element that we can't quantify, but we can sense it in people.
Oh, they're a leader.
They're a leader.
I can get that.
I get that.
I get that.
He doesn't have it.
No, he's not going to last.
May didn't have it.
See, John Major didn't have it.
Sunak didn't have it.
Brown didn't have it.
You can see they just didn't have that thing.
He doesn't have it.
He's not going to last.
But no one in the party does have it.
So I don't see them lasting.
And in 1979, remember, we went through a similar thing and we took to the streets and threw them out.
And that's what we've got to do.
We've got to be on the streets.
We've got to demand that they go.
But Nigel has it.
But whether he has it to the degree to last an entire term, I don't know.
I think Boris had it and blew it.
I think he wasted a divine opportunity that was granted to him.
And he basically, his wife just snaffled his head and he was gone.
I think it's letting him off a bit too easily there.
I think he would have been wet and traitorous, regardless of what his wife was.
He wouldn't have been as wet and traitorous.
Oh, well.
But Boris did have that jeune sait about him.
I mean, I hate Boris.
I would charge Boris with treason if it was up to me.
So I hate his guts.
But he had that thing.
He does have it.
I throw shade at Nigel all the time, quite hard, but he's got it.
He has got it.
I went to a reform conference once, like two years ago, whatever.
And when he entered the room, he does have it.
He couldn't deny it.
He couldn't deny it.
I've stood in a room with him.
He couldn't deny it.
He has it.
Tony Blair has it in Spades.
They have it.
They have that thing that they've been blessed for good or for ill.
They are there to push humanity through its historical story.
And Stalman doesn't have it.
No, not a shred.
Not a shred.
So just to finish up on this then, our economy has shrunk for the second month in a row, a little bit.
But it just doesn't bode well.
And it's not a shock.
Don't bio that it's unexpected or a shock.
Of course it's not.
They're driving us off a cliff and they've got their foot on the gas, if anything.
Do you think they're being truthful about what today?
The figures.
Is it worse than they're telling us?
I don't know.
I think there are people at the Treasury.
It's their job, isn't it, to be sort of, or at least to be seen, to be transparent to some degree.
So they might be fiddling it a bit.
They may well be fiddling it a bit.
But I don't think entirely.
I don't think entirely.
I don't think it's pure fiction.
I mean, there's the office, there's all sorts of things in place to stop it being a complete liar.
So this proves an interesting point then.
So if it's going to collapse, we need to start the English prepping movement.
And I wonder what that would look like if the Americans is all water and ammo.
What's the English tea bags and dig for victory?
I think he's allotments.
Yes.
Growing your own sort of spuds and things, I think, I guess.
Very wholesome.
I actually fear a nightmare future scenario might be that there's fights around like bloody, violent conflicts around allotments.
Because people have grown a bit of food.
I've thought about that.
And that's the difference between life and death.
So you fight over the allotment.
If you haven't got a garden, what are you going to do?
Yeah.
So there's going to have to be some sort of community thing where your surplus goes into and then we go back to basically feudal England, don't we?
We're back to plantagenet England overnight.
Return.
Yes.
Or the anarchy where loads of people just starved.
Yes.
But I will say that through all of this, and the reason I started to speak about anything in public was because I really had this sense of something that I genuinely saw on a very deep level that England will go through what I, like a glorious restoration.
And I don't mean in a political or monocle sense, but I mean the people will be restored back to their position.
And the culture is, it is a divinely imparted culture.
Well, this is something that the historian Arnold Toynbee talks about.
You know, the idea that, you know, where Aspengler says that all civilizations are sort of like biologically determined to eventually die, what you've got with Toynbee is he says, well, actually, even though a civilization can be wilting, if it is still confronted with challenges and can overcome those challenges, then it can actually gain some more strength again and it can become more confident in itself and it can build itself back up.
I mean, how many times, you know, did the, you know, like the Byzantine Empire go through just ebbs and flows before it eventually collapsed, right?
But there was several golden ages, right?
It wasn't just one peak and then a huge dip, was it?
yes, a good point.
Yeah, well, basically, it's England's world and they're all just living in it, or it's the British Empire's world.
And this is true.
This is, if you really want to be cold and hard about it, no other nation in the West comes close.
We are the protagonists of history, yes, the main characters of the West.
So, yes, I think in the long, in our near future, we will see everything be fine, but we do have to go through some Dark Knights of the Soul, basically.
Well, I'll go through the comments, all of them.
I'll do my job.
Habsification says, Frederick Douglass four boxes are getting closer, especially the last box.
I'm not sure what that's referencing, actually, Habsification.
Sorry.
Frederick Douglass, the great anti-slavery chap.
I thought he was.
Yeah.
Sorry.
That's a random name says, for the record, I think that we can all agree that we want violence and bloodshed to be avoided.
With that being said, if our corrupt leaders don't stop, things will degenerate beyond anyone's control.
I mean, yeah, just look at Southport.
Perfect example of that.
When you lose faith in your institutions, people will take it into their own hands, right?
They'll need somewhere to direct their rage and ire, won't they?
Common man has no voice.
Violence is his last resort.
That's Random Name says.
Again, that wench was crying in Parliament for her career for no other reason.
Also, are we surprised our monarch is a traitor when Prince Andrew was on the list that doesn't exist?
Not particularly surprised, no.
No.
We also have...
Not every single one of them, but a fair few of them.
Too much privilege and not enough purpose.
Once you strip the royals out from doing what they should actually be doing, then they're just playboys with a nameless life.
And Andrew, unfortunately, was a dashing, handsome, brave...
Absolutely.
And he just had women thrown at him his entire life wherever he went.
He was that addled by young lust.
He just wouldn't have even thought twice that she was a kid.
He would have just thought, oh, for me, wonderful.
Because he's just not.
He might be brave, but he's dense.
Habsification also says, if a civil war breaks out in Britain, it will signal the end of liberalism and will spark other civil wars in Europe.
They just need permission.
Well, I mean, obviously, we don't want it to come to that.
We want to find a peaceful solution to it.
And Tom Rapt247 says, I've said before, and I'll say it again, even if Carl disagrees, Heinleinianism fixes this, all of this.
I'm afraid that's a philosopher I'm not very much familiar with.
Robert Heinlein, the sci-fi writer, did Starship Troopers.
Oh, is it?
I don't know.
I've not watched Starship Troopers, actually.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
Found out.
Found out at last.
All right.
Let's go to the video comments then.
Have you got it, Jack?
I got this little computer that has 16 gigabytes of RAM and a processor overclocked to nearly 3 gigahertz.
With a few commands, it can run an AI language model right on it, capable of an internal monologue.
An internal monologue helps you think, process information, and make decisions.
Only 30 to 50% of people have this, so just imagine, this little computer has more intellectual capacity than 50 to 70% of humans.
Scary thought.
Scary thought indeed.
Yes.
I've never understood when people say that someone like Kiss Tom said hasn't really got an internal monologue or they don't dream or they can't rotate an apple, a 3D image of an apple in their own mind, or all things like that.
I'm thinking, but I could.
I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet.
I'm just saying, I could do that when I was a little kid.
How can you not do it?
I couldn't comprehend not doing it.
Yeah, yeah.
How can you not do it?
How can you not have an inner monologue?
I honestly can't imagine.
If you at least have a few Shakespearean monologues floating around.
If you don't have a conscience, then what is it that actually occupies your soul?
Yeah, what is going on in there then?
It's just a bit of input.
I'll react to that.
And that's it.
That's all that's going on, is it?
The legal system.
Okay.
During the First World War, income tax was passed here in the Canadian Parliament under emergency pretense.
And it was promised that it would be repealed no later than 1921.
And it really strikes me that they are able to tell the most egregious of lies or otherwise go back in the most serious of promises.
Yet I am expected to remain faithful to a promise I was not yet alive to make.
We are also all made to pretend that it's a consensual emancipating charity and not the state-based indentured servitude it is at best, which means we've predicated the entire modern liberal state on a system of taxation which is fundamentally a terrible deception.
Is it any wonder it's gone so wrong when that poison is lurking as its own beating heart?
Yeah, absolutely.
Great point.
I mean, some of our first income tax was to fight Napoleon, wasn't it?
Pitt the Younger.
Pitt the Younger.
Bring in what we would think of as a tiny income tax.
A temporary income tax.
Temporary.
Temporary.
And here we are.
Well, the Americans went to war for like 3%, didn't they, with us?
Or 4% or something.
Oh, right, over like the Stamp Act or the T Act.
2% or something.
Absolutely ridiculous.
But to tax the people to the degree that they are is immoral.
The Romans classed it as a sin.
It's a sin in the Bible.
The Greeks classed it as a sin.
All of our kings up until Napoleon classed it as immoral.
So it's like we're supposed to be the minimum amount of tax with the maximal amount of representation.
That's what it's supposed to be.
But then look at the gravy train that's occurred.
I mean, just look at the second homes from MPs.
It's insane.
Any house that's bought under the second home thing that MPs have should then become an asset of the crown and a parliamentarian house.
And it's either sold or it's kept for the next incumbent.
They shouldn't be allowed to make money like this.
It's wrong.
It's disgusting.
Like, all of it, it's just, it's an egregious affront and a sin on the British population.
Let alone someone like Nancy Pelosi, one of the greatest all-time stock traders.
Well, she's a she comes from a crime family as well, doesn't she?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, straight up.
She's basically criminal influence within the political system, which goes on, you know, like a lot of politics are just criminals in suits, or too many of them.
Far too many.
Yeah.
Right.
It's been three days since the fall of Sauron, and Middle-earth hasn't stopped celebrating.
For now, at least, peace feels real.
Oh, I wish.
I wish.
I wish.
That is my politics.
Yes.
That entire video.
Whatever that is, we want.
Yes.
is this from?
Is that, did that I think so.
Yeah.
Kind of awesome if Peter Jackson personally directed that himself, though.
I was going to say, it's been a few years since I've watched Lord of Rings, but I don't remember those bits in it.
Yeah, no, cool, cool.
All right.
Shout, do you want me to read some comments from your section?
Yeah, if you can't mind.
Okay, so we've got Omar Awad says, Starma's concern is that too many of the channel migrants are drowning.
He'd prefer they arrive through more direct funding than have to siphon taxpayer money through NGOs.
You can tell he's a terrible negotiator because he couldn't convince Macron to take everything for nothing in return.
And Emos says, I agree that the deal making Skills of Stamer verify that he has not read the art of the deal, thinking his tastes lean more towards books with pictures like the art of the deal and not pickles.
He could have just went there and basically said, right, Macron, this is how it's going to go.
You're going to take them all back or I'm going to show the entire world conclusive proof that your wife is a man.
That would have solved the whole thing.
Yeah.
Do you think there's something a bit simian about Bridget Macron?
Simeon?
Yeah, monkey-like.
Whatever she's like.
Whatever work that that person has had done has accentuated whatever has been there.
Yeah.
It's made her look odd.
Really odd.
I feel like it's a syrup as well.
I feel like she's wearing a wig.
Yes, yes, absolutely 100%.
It'll look like a wig.
Someone online says, if you make your NHS and Gibbs only available to English citizens, they'll all clear off by themselves.
I wish that were true.
I feel like there's a fair amount of cope going when you say, oh, you just ban halal, loads of them will self-deport, or you close moss, loads of them will self-deport.
There's all sorts of things.
I think some will.
A lot won't.
Because it's still better here than living.
Right.
It's still better than living in rural Albania or rural Bangladesh.
You're going to have to go through the easy options until all you've got left is the hardcore, which you're going to have to dig out with the military probably.
Right.
And I think you far off.
Because we need, by 2040, we need somewhere between 12 and 15 million people to have left this country.
And some of them will be natives who are on the left.
And that's fine.
We can find them an island somewhere where they can go make a communist communion and all be dead in 100 years.
No, I disagree.
They're ours.
They're our responsibility.
Oh, they smell.
No.
We need that because as a country, we're so overstretched that we've got to get back down to sort of 55 million in order to reach some sort of function and equilibrium.
Because it had evened out at 55 million.
It would have just stayed there.
And that's where it's supposed to be.
From my segment, Lord Inquisitor, Hector X says, welcome to the concert of the Pope Burners.
We have Wright Said Fred, Harry Robinson, Josh Firm, and Count Dankula headlining tonight with the Stelios on vocals.
Well, that sounds like a very heavy metal gig.
We've also got Jimbo G saying they really outdid the Grenfell Tower bonfire.
I still can't believe someone did that.
Like, I still can't believe someone actually made that.
That was really dark.
That is in bad taste.
That is really bad taste.
Yeah, I disavowed that.
And then from your final segment, Bo, we've got Dirty Belter saying one of our joke names probably from that previous segment of Dan's.
You say we don't have UBI, but how many people work Fisher-Price jobs in the public sector contributing nothing whilst thinking they're working?
Yeah.
Chance Bell says, what if an MP's pay was the exact average of their constituency?
It'd be interesting, wouldn't it?
Everyone will be wanting whatever borough Kensington's in.
Right.
Yeah.
And then Michael Drabelbis says, first female chancellor that can't understand basic math or economics.
Stupid tart.
Quite on the nose.
Eloquently said.
But they've been sold a dream that doesn't exist.
This is the liberal myth.
They've been sold this thing of everybody can do anything, right?
All you have to do is just be there and the world is different.
And you can do anything that this person can do.
Women can do anything men can do.
Men can do anything women can do.
And it's disastrous for both of them.
Like, men are made to make and break stuff.
Let's be honest.
You take away industry.
And, you know, what does industry do?
Industry keeps men fit, which drives up testosterone, but testosterone makes you disagreeable.
It will make you stand in the gap and go, nope, not having that, right?
Not on my watch is what we need more of.
And all she's done is she's just been told since she's a little girl, you are capable of doing anything.
And nobody has given her a reality check.
And this is her reality check.
And her entire reality is kind of like, oh, hang on, I can't do this.
I was told I could.
And then I was really good at fiddling accounts at the Halifax.
And now it's all come crashing down.
And I was also told that it's perfectly all right to just have a cry if you need to let it out.
Well, maybe not when you're sitting in the House of Commons on national television with Rachel.
Well, I mean, that was undignified, but also potentially understandable given the nature of women in general.
But what was more shocking was Stalma's response.
He didn't even click.
Somebody's in distress.
Anybody else would have, and it was his friend, right?
Even MPs across the aisle would have gone, oh my God, she needs to leave the chamber.
But he didn't even think, he didn't even click that a human, a human is going and having an emotion.
What do I do?
Because he's like Zuckerberg, you know, when I was a human, there's just nothing there.
He can't compute emotions.
He's like Sheldon Cooper.
Are you tired?
Are you hungry?
What's going on?
He's psychopathic, honestly.
All right.
Well, that's all we've got time for today, ladies and gentlemen.
If you'd like, you can join us for Radzauer in half an hour at three, where me, Harry, and Carl are going to be talking all about the absolute cinema that is Spider-Man 2.
So if you're interested, you can join us there.
And if not, have a wonderful weekend and we'll see you next week.
