	Good afternoon folks, welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters for was it the second of September I think it's a Tuesday 2025 I know it's the second of September because it is my birthday oh well there you go then as well as Kier Starmer's birthday so yeah I know right yeah someone's hogging all the limelight you know unfortunately uh thanks Kier uh but yeah so happy birthday to me I'm 46 years old not that you believe it looking at my youthful face um no I feel pretty good actually for 46 I don't I don't really feel very different to when
	I was like in my thirties I don't mentally feel any different from when I was 17 I don't even physically yeah but well yeah I agree mentally I feel like I'm Mentally, I feel like I'm in my mid twenty, but like, physically, I don't feel like I've collapsed yet.
	Oh, I hear you then.
	I hear that's happening in your fifties though, so I've got that to come.
	But anyway, we're joined by Nicholas DeSanto and Dan, and today we're going to be talking about the Leicester Sherfication of the Shires, which is what they want, and it's been all over, everywhere today.
	Not the first time they said, Oh, we need more diversity in the Shires.
	It's like, well, they've done some studies on diversity, and they found out actually, oh, it's not actually our strength, which we'll go through.
	We're going to talk about our impending IMF bailout.
	Yes.
	We won't actually get one.
	They're just Oh, won't we?
	Well, they haven't gotten enough money.
	Have we had one before?
	Yes, 1976.
	How did that go?
	What not well?
	Not well.
	And we're going to talk about how the two-tier society is basically all around us, aren't we?
	Absolutely.
	There's simply no denying it at this point.
	There's no I don't even see them trying to deny it at this point actually because it's just so self evident.
	Also, Graham Linon got arrested and banned from Twitter by the police.
	That happened a bit too soon for us to cover it in this podcast.
	I'm sure they'll talk about it tomorrow because it's genuinely preposterous.
	So anyway, yeah.
	Welcome to Britain, folks.
	So, before we go on, of course, link in the description., go get your copy of Islander.
	It won't be on sale for much longer and once it's gone, it is gone forever.
	You'll never get another copy.
	But anyway, so we're constantly being told about the merits of diversity.
	Diversity is a strength, diversity is good, diversity will make the country better, it'll save the NHS, it'll save the pension scheme.
	It's for the economy.
	Whenever you see a brown person, just think GDP.
	That's what you should think.
	You see a woman with a hijab walking around with like, you know, five children, that's raw GDP.
	Walking into a council house, walking into a job center.
	And if only we had that, because sometimes they're in net drain, but that's another thing.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	When you go into the NHS and every seat is full of people from somewhere else in the world, just think, wow, there's so much GDP in the waiting room here.
	Sounds good.
	I'm glad I've got to wait six hours to get my broken leg seen to.
	The GDP is everywhere, and it's good for you.
	And the problem, though, is that there's not so much GDP in the countryside, actually.
	It turns out there's no GDP produced in England's countryside, in the Shires.
	This isn't good.
	Something needs to be done about it.
	not enough turkish barbershops and vape shops well they are actually starting to get some of those now actually uh but there's not enough um uh random people from Africa milling around creating time in the center of these towns or Muslim women claiming benefits.
	But that's why I live there.
	Well, yeah, I know, me too.
	But apparently we're getting diversity.
	Oh, good.
	Oh, good.
	This is what you need to know.
	But anyway, before we begin, go and watch Lucas' series Chronicles.
	He's done another excellent episode about a play I've never heard of.
	So I'm going to watch this and find out what it's about.
	But I just want to show everyone the intro, right?
	Because I think we're kind of sleeping on just how much great work the team is doing.
	And I just want to play this to you.
	Begin by talking.
	Start at the beginning.
	So I was watching it before we started.
	Hello and welcome...
	Isn't that a beautiful intro?
	Anyway.
	That's excellent.
	I know.
	I'm going to see if I can get broken on.
	It's one of those.
	Right.
	Mesmerizing.
	You don't have a lovely intro like that.
	No, I don't.
	No, they've been working really hard.
	They've just cut to down.
	Yeah.
	So they've been working really hard.
	We haven't shown anyone basically, so I thought I'd show everyone.
	But anyway, so this is the article from the Telegraph that's going around that everyone's seen.
	The British countryside is overwhelmingly white.
	It's where the British are from, actually.
	And he needs more halal food, says a report from the University of Leicester.
	Their Centre of Centre for Hate Studies.
	I don't realise that was an academic discipline.
	I might get a degree in Hate Studies.
	So I can be like, yeah, no, I'm going to be really racist to you.
	And I'm a professional.
	I am qualified to be racist.
	I'm not sure that's what it teaches, but I don't know.
	PhD in hate.
	Well, I mean, if the BBC's disinformation reporters report nothing but disinformation.
	We may not be self-taught.
	You can be an autodidact, but I want the qualification.
	Right, okay.
	I'm a credentialist.
	Yes.
	If you live in Leicester, probably you don't need to get a degree.
	Well, we're going to discover that is shortly out.
	I've done that homework.
	You have, yeah.
	So they complain that ethnic minority communities face challenges in the countryside because rural England is overwhelmingly white, and this creates feelings of discomfort and the psychological burden that comes with navigating predominantly white spaces, which I mean, don't we all just feel that?
	You know, Nicholas, when you arrive in this country, we're like, too many English people.
	Absolutely.
	Something needs to be done about this.
	But yeah, so, you know, they raise concerns about traditional pub culture.
	Should probably just abolish it for the good of diversity and how monocultural customs are exclusionary, which is remarkable because it comes from this report from their Center for Hate Studies and to University of Leicester I would suggest look not at the splint in our eye, how about worry about the plank in your own?
	Because man, things are not good in Leicester and to find out how bad things are in Leicester when it comes to hate crimes, we turn to the University of Leicester and their hate crime report.
	Now Leicester just for anyone who doesn't know is forty two percent English.
	So it is a majority minority city and it is the place where you may recall in twenty twenty two there were race riots between Muslims and Hindus because there was a game of cricket which is very important.
	Yes, I remember that and I remember the Labour front bench were mildly irked.
	And then a couple of months later the British working class rioted and their basically eyes started burning.
	Yes.
	I mean cricket is serious stuff and I'm sure that the only contention between these two communities was cricket alone.
	It certainly wasn't India and Pakistan get on very well apart from the cricket.
	Exactly.
	It wasn't indicative of a regional nuclear war in the Arctic.
	But yes, exactly.
	No deeper concerns in that community.
	And you may also remember that Leicester East is the leading home of domestic and modern day slavery in England, with ten thousand modern day slaves under Claudia Webb's constituency.
	Hang on, I've just spotted a flaw in your segment.
	Oh yes.
	If Leicester is majority minority, yes.
	And that makes and we've always been told that if you get rid of the white people, hate goes down.
	That's correct.
	What?
	How does this report exist?
	Yes.
	I don't know.
	Weirdly, slavery doesn't even come up in it.
	Considering how many slaves they have in Leicester.
	Yes.
	Think we can talk about that?
	I thought slavery was a bit hateful, but doesn't even warrant a mention.
	Okay.
	So anyway, so let's go to the PDF.
	Now, Samson, I'll require you to skim to pages, but in the introduction on page seven, as they say, they did this, and this was a two-year period in 2012, 2014, they conducted this groundbreaking research, and they tell us this.
	The city of Leicester has an extraordinarily diverse population.
	It is home to substantial minority ethnic populations that are both newly arrived and well established, as well as a wide range of faith, sexual and other minority communities.
	And it is this rich diversity that made Leicester a highly appropriate site to explore experiences of hate, prejudice, and targeted hostility.
	Why the fuse in my earlier comments, there shouldn't be any.
	Well, that's the point.
	It's almost as if non-whites are also capable of hate.
	But look at the framing.
	We were looking for the place with the most hate.
	We wanted to study hate.
	So we went to Leicester, our own backyard, where there's tons of hate because there's so much diversity.
	Hate is just a normal part of diversity according to the University of Leicester.
	It's interesting.
	It's where you'd most expect to find it.
	What were we going to do?
	Go to some nice village in the Wirral or something?
	You know?
	Like, no, we've got nowhere else to go.
	It's got to be there.
	And so on page eight they tell us that during the process of conducting this study we heard from a sizable number of participants.
	So there were different, you know, people in the different lifestyles, whether they're Polish, Roma, Somali, Congolese, Iranian communities, and all these other sorts of things.
	But you'll notice that the people they're leaving out from this are essentially straight, white men.
	You don't get to hear from those much.
	Although they do have white men in here, but they're ones with disabilities or mental health problems.
	So they get to be minorised in the categorization.
	But the point is that you can see the assumption, the background assumption of all this is hate is what happens from white men, two minoritized communities, someone who has been categorized.
	And so we go on to page 11, they tell us who took part in the study.
	So 56% were women, 42% were men, so that's a bit of a strange bias, isn't it?
	And 3% of transgender.
	Now, so that's not exactly a representative slice of Leicester, right?
	Unless Leicester has just a really disproportionate number of transgenders.
	Is 3% of Leicester really transgender?
	Yeah, that would make about someone like 90,000 transgenders in Leicester was on a 9,000 or something, it'd be quite high.
	But so it's not really representative.
	And then they tell us that 29% of our participants were 18 to 24.
	The next largest group was 25 to 34, which was 18% of the sample.
	So more than half of their population is under 35 that they've sampled.
	But the thing is, only 25% of Leicester's population, if you check the 2021 census, is under 35.
	Actually, half of them are older, and the population generally, it's actually a fairly predictable.
	And also, if you say that Leicester is only 42% white, I bet on the under 24s, yeah.
	Significant.
	But they also 30% from the university itself.
	So this is not exactly a representative sample of the population.
	They say that they, if we carry on going down a little bit, you see a big table.
	of the ethnicity.
	So 43% were white British, which is about roughly correct.
	29% Asian, which is actually under, 13% as black, which is over.
	Then you've got mixed heritage, Middle Eastern, gypsies, et cetera, et cetera.
	In the 2021 census, they're only 8% black, 4% mixed, 41% white, and 43% Asian.
	So they are not exactly doing a balanced sample of this.
	But anyway, the majority of the participants call themselves heterosexual.
	76%.
	Really?
	25% of Leicester is gay?
	Really?
	I'm not sure that they are.
	Again, I think this might be sampling biases from university population.
	But anyway, let's take these strange numbers that they have and go to the most recent racist experience that they had on.
	on page 19 So they tell us that for the majority of those surveyed, being the victim of targeted hostility was a current and ongoing issue.
	Well, I mean, that seems like a brilliant argument against it just on the face of it, right?
	Have diversity.
	Why?
	You'll be the victim of targeted hostility is a current and ongoing issue.
	Almost everyone, basically.
	59% said that they'd been the victim of a hate crime within the last year, a quarter within the last month, and a similar proportion had experienced a hate crime more than a year ago, but less than five years ago.
	So most people are victims of hate crimes in Leicester.
	Well, looks like they've gone in And so the minorities in this sample were overblown.
	Age group, again, young people more likely to have been bombarded with all these mainstream or at school, victimization, victimhood, oppression, white man bad, colonialism, all that agenda.
	And despite the fact that they went in with bad faith, what comes out is that in a diverse utopia we have a lot of hate and discrimination.
	That's true.
	You would think that this wouldn't be the sort of thing they'd advertise quite as prominent, right?
	If you want everyone else to embrace diversity, maybe you shouldn't point out that that just means you're going to be the victim of hate crimes all the time.
	Well, not only that, in the introduction, they listed through some of the things they're looking at, like broken windows, stolen cars, none of that happens around my way.
	Yeah, weird, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	There's no hate incidents, is it?
	In the little suburb I live in, I haven't seen a single hate incident, but what do I know?
	Anyway, so they, they, if we go down to page 20, they tell us about the kind of abuse.
	Obviously, most of it is just verbal abuse.
	A lot of it is harassment.
	Only about 13% is property crime, 9% violent crime, 6% cyberbullying.
	So basically, it's people being mean to each other in the streets, which is like 80% nearly the abuse.
	It's just people just FR foreigner.
	But okay, well, that's nice.
	Again, don't you want to live in an area where verbal abuse and harassment are just completely rife?
	This is what Lester is advertising as being the strength of diversity and the consequence of diversity.
	This is what they want you to think of it because this is what they found in their studies.
	Chris isn't actually selling it to me, to be honest.
	No, weirdly isn't.
	No, right.
	It's weirdly not.
	If we go down to page 21, we find that race was the most commonly cited reason.
	There's a little graph here.
	There we go.
	You see race and ethnicity.
	So most people just don't like foreigners.
	Not racists, just don't like them.
	A lot of that's tied into dress and appearance.
	You can see there is the second largest graph, which again is tied specifically to race and ethnicity because of course if you're wearing a hijab or something people can identify you and so you know this is directly connected.
	Again, I'm sure that in Leicester they're not racist.
	They just don't like them.
	17% responded with religion as well, which of course is tied with race and ethnicity, especially if you're Muslim or Jewish.
	So yeah, it's quite bad.
	14% with gender.
	Only 11% sexual orientation.
	So that's surprisingly progressive.
	But you can see that, I don't know, it's not.
	quite the utopia that people are pointing out.
	And if we go to page twenty two, we get a very interesting little paragraph where they tell us within the overall sample of participants who felt they'd been victimized because of their race, substantial numbers of the respondents belonged to new and emerging communities, such as black African, which included significant numbers of Congolese and Zimbabwean, as well as to communities with a more established presence, such as Indian, white British, and Chinese.
	It's good to know the white British have got an established presence in Leicester.
	It was about time.
	On a part with the Chinese.
	Yeah, on a part with the Chinese.
	So I mean, like when it came to the number of people who have been victimized by their race, black Africans 86 accounts of being victimized based on their race, which I guess you'd expect.
	Indians 61 accounts, white British 38 accounts, and Chinese 29 accounts.
	So people are more racist to the white British in Leicester than they are to the Chinese.
	Why don't you want to diversify the Shires, guys?
	We're only going to bring a bunch of people who are going to be racist towards you because you're white British, and it's only going to be constant street harassment.
	I mean, it's really not a strong argument, is it?
	No, it's not selling it to me, no.
	So, I mean, you can tell that they didn't expect white British people to say, yeah, I've experienced racial harassment.
	You can tell.
	I've read this whole thing twice.
	You can tell they were not expecting this.
	In fact, they say, quote, findings from the study challenge conventional ideas regarding which victim groups or identity and lifestyle characteristics should be relevant to hate crime policy.
	Oh, I bet they bloody do, right?
	If we go to page 29, they say, they point out basically that a lot of people are, who are, who are.
	are being aggressed upon are poor people as you can see from the graph there sponges is what people are thinking it's people who either receive benefits do not receive an income or earn £15,000 or less are the ones most likely to claim to be the victim of hate crime frankly I think a lot of it is going to be people and that might also be just the people who spend their day wandering around the street as opposed to being in an office True.
	That's true.
	And it probably is also correlative with the groups that they've interviewed for these.
	Yes.
	But if we go to page 31, I think it's remarkable where this is happening.
	Because again, this is just such another wonderful, wonderful example.
	If you scroll down a little bit on this, you'll see a little graph.
	There we are.
	Where is this happening?
	Well, most of the time it's either in public, outside my home, or in the city centre.
	It's just happening on the streets.
	People on the streets just like, and if you look, public transport around a place of entertainment, other public location, like near where I work, in a bar or nightclub.
	It's just people on the streets racially abusing each other.
	Where's where's in my place of work?
	Where's that?
	That is about seven percent there.
	In or near where I work.
	Okay, because the view of racism.
	isn't always told.
	It was 50-year-old white men saying something mean.
	Yeah.
	In the office.
	That's what racism is supposed to be.
	Yeah.
	Ten percent of it's happening in the university itself.
	Ten percent of it's happening, quote, in my home.
	Thanks, grandfather.
	Like the multi generational homes of old Muslim grandfather abusing racially young grandchildren.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	But the point is I'm talking about the Hindus who have just moved in next door.
	You know what?
	I'm not here to judge.
	Grandfather calling you a mud truck or something.
	I don't know.
	But the point being is that this isn't exactly selling it to me either.
	The racial abuse goes to all races when you bring diversity into your area.
	And it just happens in the street all the time, to the point where most people experience it within the last couple of within the last year, but also like a quarter within like a month.
	So it's a really regular occurrence for people.
	So that's not exactly a great advertisement, I would say, for diversity.
	I mean, stop me if you think I'm wrong, of course.
	If you can somehow see an upside to any of this.
	No, I mean, diversity, again, remarkably, they went in trying to most likely, because this is the university, we know these environments.
	They wanted to get what they already set out to get.
	Yes, but it was true.
	Credit to them, they have still published that.
	But obviously diversity creates tension because you have people from different cultures.
	And of course, the big fat lie that we've always been sold is that multiculturalism is fantastic as long as we believe in some core values.
	And this is already a paradox in itself, because if we come from different cultures, we don't have the same core values.
	How could we have the same values?
	We don't attach the same value to human life or women's rights or freedom of speech and being polite in public.
	Absolutely.
	Well, it does look like it does look like they do share a core value.
	Yeah, because that happens when people are different.
	And as long as we are doing economically great, which we are not, then it would be something different.
	But even when we are not doing that, again, in part due to too much diversity and multiculturalism, never mind Netz, Euron, other probably war in Ukraine and all that.
	But because resources are also limited, these migrants are also hostile to each other.
	Because first of all, they don't have this culture of tolerance or stiff upper lip or, you know, trying to put on a brave face and all that.
	It's a different culture.
	And secondly, they are also competing for limited resources.
	Not to mention, and I finish here, importing their own longstanding conflict.
	So you have Indians and Pakistanis in Leicester, you might have Turks and Kurds in Germany, and so on.
	We went to London.
	We went to London last week, we were there for twenty minutes before we saw two ethnics fighting each other.
	Yeah.
	It was really bad.
	Yeah, because these are unresolved problems that we have imported.
	Yeah, so let's move on to page 33.
	Let's see what, how do the people of Leicester cope with all the rampant racism that they vitimize themselves with?
	Well, if you go down a bit, there's another.
	graph in here, I think.
	But okay, maybe I haven't got a graph.
	But you can see the quotes here.
	So there are certain times that we go out now, like Saturday evenings, we don't go out and know it's dangerous for my kids.
	You can't walk at night time in my area.
	How can you trust the people on the street?
	All of them are a stranger to you, says a man asylum seeker from Pakistan.
	And he's saying, I can't walk around the street.
	Someone might get raped.
	Like, this is remarkable that they're like, Yeah, this is just I wonder if that was the case in Pakistan.
	Good question.
	We presumably he's from somewhere.
	Yeah, Chinese women's like, we can't go out at night night.
	The most dangerous part is just Being around them, basically, each other, is what they say.
	So if we go down to page 37, sorry, page 30, I thought I was on page 37.
	But anyway, right, so you can see that if you go to page 37, you can see that there's a graph on this page.
	If we go down a bit, there we go.
	The dark green is people who are not affected by this.
	So 8% have said that this doesn't impact their quality of life.
	Maybe they're the ones doing it all.
	Quite possibly.
	Quite possibly.
	91% say that they have been affected in some way and negatively.
	So that's great.
	That's absolutely great.
	So if we go to page 39, we can see the consequences of what this has on people.
	And 71% say it's made me upset.
	41% say it's made me anxious.
	37% says it makes me angry towards others.
	36% makes me vulnerable.
	35% made me avoid certain areas.
	33% made me fearful.
	32% made me distrust other people.
	and 29 says makes me depressed and that again is the the overwhelming majority there so again not another brilliant advertisement for diversity would you like to be upset anxiousious, vulnerable and depressed.
	Because if you do, import diversity, says the University of Leicester.
	I mean, the more.
	based on the experience of the people of Leicester.
	The more I'm coming back to your original question is, no, I don't think I do want this for the country's side.
	Yeah, weirdly, I think I don't want this in the shows.
	So when they come out and I'm like, yeah, well, the shows are too white to say, are they though?
	Yes.
	By your own metrics.
	Compared to getting this.
	Yeah.
	made me want to move house, conceal my identity.
	I mean, well.
	made me want to move away from Leicester.
	Why only 11 percent?
	Yeah.
	I guess a lot of people trapped there.
	But let's go to Page 52 now and discover what people are doing about all these problems that diversity has laid on them.
	So the answers are they're self-segregating and imposing a personal curfew and they're arming themselves in their own homes.
	Wow.
	What an amazing scene.
	In response to diversity, they're undiversifying themselves into sectarian clans.
	Yes.
	61% avoid walking in at certain areas and going to a certain place, 36% just don't go out at night, and 27% improved home security, as in they have weapons in the house.
	And then 15% carry personal security devices and whatnot.
	So again, not exactly a brilliant advert for the diversification of the Shires, and I'm not really sure I'm for it.
	But in some peculiar and concerning way, this is achieving the goal of 15 minute cities that the pro green agenda are looking at.
	Because isolate yourself, don't walk out, don't travel, just everybody is atomized and everybody lives in fear.
	Split a city into four, could we?
	The white area, the black area, and the Asian area.
	Mind you, the Asian area will go to war with each other.
	Like after the fall of the Roman Empire, right?
	There's no state to guarantee your security, so you might as well fortify if you can afford.
	We'll get to that because for the interest of time, I want to rush on.
	So if we go to page 56.
	They give us a bit of a breakdown on what their actual perpetrator data looks like.
	So if we scroll down about this, they say our survey data illustrates that hate crime perpetrators come from a range of different ethnic backgrounds.
	So just bringing in diversity is not actually just the answer.
	Three fifths of survey responses stated their last experience of hate crime would involve a white offender sixty one percent.
	One in six said their most recent experience had an Asian offender at sixteen percent and twelve percent was a black offender.
	The diversity amongst perpetrators becomes more striking when looking at specific strands of hate crime victimization.
	Taking racially motivated hate crime as an example.
	Just under two thirds said described the offender as white British at 58%.
	However, significant numbers of respondents said that Asian Asian British 17% or black British 15% individual had been involved in their most recent experience of targeted hostility.
	The interviews complemented the survey data in demonstrating that the perpetrators involved in racist and religiously motivated hate crime come from various different backgrounds.
	That was 42% not white British committing hate crimes based on race.
	So they're pretty racist.
	So do you want a bunch of racists who don't like each other let alone you moving to your shires?
	I can't say I'm in favor.
	Racists are also more violent than the white typical white racist.
	That's true.
	And don't bring too much GDP either.
	Well, yeah, that's another great point, because as we saw, it was all the bottom wrong of society.
	But if we go to page 57, they say in these cases that the majority of offenders involved in the most recent experiences were white British, over a quarter stated that an Asian, British, Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi individual had been involved in their victimization.
	The findings from the study illustrate that the profile of hate crime perpetrators is much more diverse than commonly assumed.
	That's progress, folks.
	Diverse hate crimes is where we're aiming for.
	So if we go to page 70, there's quite a lot of discussion on the police in this and they just say what's the point?
	Yes.
	As you can see, police don't take it seriously or I dealt with it myself.
	The police don't do anything.
	This was a private matter.
	The police were not understood, blah, blah, blah.
	So basically, many people just don't bother going.
	A female Zimbabwean asylum seeker says, quote, There's not much they can do anyway because you'd never come across those people again.
	I would never recognize them.
	There's no way they could get them.
	It would be a waste of time on my side to report it to the police.
	As in, it's a random person walking around the streets who just racially abused me and then people.
	There was a time where if somebody was abusive in the street, you'd just say, well, yeah, but I know know who you are.
	I went to school with you.
	They don't know each other.
	Like the Pakistani asylum seeker said, well, this is a place of strangers.
	That would be the high trust society where people know each other.
	The Shire.
	Yeah, exactly.
	We're last bastion.
	Yes.
	Anyway, so we can move on to page eighty for recommendations.
	Now, these are excellent recommendations, obviously.
	So the first one is frontline practitioners should treat victims with empathy, humanity, and kindness.
	Okay, I assume that they were.
	I mean, I assume that they were being nice.
	But then the second one is organizations should consider early interventions before incidents escalate into violence.
	Such as?
	It's happening on the street.
	It's not happening in the police, you know, or in the schools.
	What do they do?
	Like sniper nests on the high street?
	No idea, you know, but it's just happening in the middle of the street, like, all over the town.
	They know what there are, their argument here is.
	Yeah, there could be even further diversity and equity and tolerance courses at corporate level.
	We're already doing that to the masses.
	That's the next suggestion.
	There you go.
	Hate crime awareness campaigns should be publicized in more appropriate community relations.
	So you're going to have to try and propagandize the diversity, not to be racist towards one another.
	So also play a looped video in the benefit center.
	I guess.
	Just more propaganda.
	The next one is, of course, a lot of it happens on public transport, so it should be, quote, made safer for all.
	Armed guards?
	Like, what are we doing here?
	I got rid of conductors on buses like 30 years ago.
	Yeah, I mean, I've seen people saying, oh, we need armed guards on trains in London.
	It's like, we never used to.
	Why has this happened?
	I used to, I remember 25 years ago traveling on the tube in London as a, like, you know, 19-year-old kid, like an idiot, having no problems whatsoever.
	There was absolutely no danger whatsoever, as far as I could see.
	But anyway, here we go, you know.
	Number five is that the public should be encouraged to take appropriate action when witnessing hate crimes.
	So, what does that mean?
	Like, I'm not, I mean, who wants to take risks for their own personal safety for foreigners?
	I mean, if I see two ethnics fighting, I'm not getting involved.
	Yeah.
	Why would I?
	I've seen posters on the London Tube, on TFL is encouraging people, when you see sexual harassment, intervene, say that's not okay.
	Remember the maid campaign?
	Well, like the guy who got sliced across his nose in France.
	Exactly.
	Because the diversity was harassing.
	Yes.
	And then this American, oh, that's really nasty as well.
	Yeah, huge, cleaved his nose.
	Yeah.
	Here the assumption is that it's the white people who are doing the racism exactly you're very welcome to intervene exactly but the data already shows no it's almost half of it's not uh and then the next one is of course uh extra reporting mechanisms uh so basically an increased surveillance state somebody i don't know and won't recognize again said something mean yes and then uh have you know better reporting mechanisms and stuff like that this is all like you know surveillance state nonsense basically uh for the next couple but none of those would work No,
	and then engage with different groups and communities, don't know what more you could possibly do.
	Voluntary and tailored community services should be okay, but that's not going to prevent racism on the streets.
	And then non punitive responses to hate offending should be pursued should challenge underlying prejudices.
	So it's an attempt to brainwash them, basically.
	Just look, we just need to explain to you.
	You're not allowed to say certain things to certain communities.
	So after all that, I mean, I think actually I'm just suggesting keep the countryside homogeneous.
	Yes.
	Actually, we can.
	Yes, I'm leaning that way.
	Yes, I think we can avoid all of the problems, the hatred, the racism, the lack of trust, the increasing crime, the fact that people are afraid to go out in the streets.
	They can't go out at night.
	I think actually if we just keep the areas a bit homogeneous, we avoid all of those problems and we can ignore all of these recommendations and just keep our own.
	If it ain't broken, just don't try to fix it.
	And you might say, I'm a dreamer.
	But what about taking back the urban areas as well?
	As someone who's living in the sin city of London.
	Incredible.
	Yeah, no way.
	Throw that in the middle.
	Absolutely incredible.
	Okay, right.
	Let's go to some suit chats because there were a bunch coming in.
	David says the subproduct of socialism is systemic impression.
	The Engaged View says, damn, check out Carl in that suit, looking so sharp he could cut himself smiling.
	Thank you very much.
	Mark says, came to rural Cornwall from Canada for two weeks in July.
	Not much strength, very little diversity, but it was beautiful and the weather was nice too.
	I bet you didn't even get racially abused on the street, did you?
	You don't even know you're living.
	Jacob says, Buy Island a magazine and send him pictures of you and a copy from around the world and happy birthday.
	Yes, there was a chap who climbed Ben Nevis and sent us some photos of it with Island the other day.
	So yeah, see if anyone can get more exotic than that.
	Pezza says, Somewhat off topic, but I correctly recall OG Sargon days, you did a series called All Cultures Are Equal.
	Should bring it back.
	I mean, it's probably a hate crime at this point, so.
	Carl, considering you're called Sargon, I'm not called Sargon, but anyway, would you or both think about doing videos on the Bronze Age?
	I hear the Hittites are pretty based.
	Yeah, the Hittites are pretty great, but maybe I'll bring it up with him.
	And thank you, Hayden.
	Happy birthday to you tomorrow as well.
	Let's carry on.
	Would you mind doing the links?
	There we go.
	There we go.
	Right, so I've been off for the last couple of weeks.
	No internet.
	Deep, deepest Devon.
	spending time with the family, always great.
	And I thought, well, Yeah, and what?
	No, there wasn't actually.
	No, there wasn't.
	It was remarkably undiverse.
	The roundabouts were getting painted in the George Cross, whatever.
	Right, yes.
	And normally when I'm on the podcast, of course, I'm here to keep Rachel Reeves in check.
	But I thought, I can go away for two weeks, can't I?
	I can do that.
	She can surely behave as a no, no, I come back to this.
	Britain made her cry the first time.
	I hope I was a part of it.
	I can only hope.
	Britain is heading for an IMF bailout, economists warn as Rachel Reeves drags us back to the 1970s.
	So, one thing that made my father conservative for his entire life was the state of the country in the 1970s.
	Because he was a young man.
	And he remembers the rolling blackouts, the three-day work weeks, the rubbish piling up in the streets, the body's not getting collected, all that stuff.
	The body's not getting collected.
	Like the general economic stagnation, the tyranny of the unions, the fact that the country was just literally falling apart.
	I mean, that is a normal day in like Birmingham or Leicester these days.
	Sure, but he was from the southwest.
	Right, yes, it shouldn't happen here.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It was where otherwise it should have been lovely.
	But yeah, no, so he remembers the problems.
	And once again, we're back here.
	I mean, to be fair, the Tories were awful as well.
	Yes.
	But the difference with the Tories is, even though they were, you know, they biddable for the globalist left wing ideas, they weren't ideologically malicious.
	Yes, they were incompetent but not ideologically malicious.
	I think a lot of it's weakness as well.
	They knew what ought to have been done.
	It was just like, I don't think it'll be me though.
	It's an easier life just to carry on paying out.
	So into condition into not wanting to be called racist or bigoted.
	Go along with all the globalist ideas, the green agenda, all that kind of stuff.
	Or even doing anything useful.
	Whereas Labour is doing all of that, plus a whole bunch of other ideological stuff as well.
	And it's just too much.
	Amazing.
	Push us over the edge.
	So some interesting quotes from this article.
	And I basically picked out the two most left-leaning characters I could find within it.
	Andrew Sentence is a former member of the Bank of England's rate-setting monetary policy committee.
	He's got a left-wing chap.
	I imagine he's pretty tightly involved in that sort of stuff.
	Well, even he said, Rachel Reeves is on course to deliver a Healy 1976-style crisis later this year or early next.
	I mean, I just can't believe we're going to need an IMF bailout.
	Yes.
	That's embarrassing.
	I will come to that.
	Okay, yeah.
	Enough, yeah.
	Yes, because whether they got the money or not.
	Professor Jagjit Chachahad.
	i might be pronouncing that wrong um head of the national the National Institute for Economic and Social Research think tank so again a left-wing organization a left-wing think tank he says we will not be able to roll over our debt we will not be able to pay pensions or benefits yes I mean I kind of hate paying benefits well I mean yes I mean the aspects of that I like to be fair but If they get to that point,
	they're probably going to take everything that we have.
	To pay the benefits.
	Yes.
	But on the plus side, it's not going to last very long.
	No.
	No, I don't think even our savings compared to the national debt might get you a fraction of a second.
	It's going to be, I mean, literally it'll be like, oh, this is like five minutes of NHS spending or something.
	Yes.
	It's like we've looted every savings.
	Five minutes of NHS spending?
	You could get a battleship for that.
	Yeah, I know.
	Yeah.
	I know.
	It's going to literally be like, right, we've funded the NHS for another 27 minutes.
	Yes.
	So, okay, great, you've looted the country.
	Now what?
	Now everything's gone.
	Tick tock, tick tock.
	not just the Daily Mail um Samsung can have some Yes, very unfortunate.
	Sorry, what's this graph here?
	Oh, what's this graph?
	This is borrowing.
	borrowing costs.
	Oh yes, I'll be coming back to that as well.
	Okay, yeah, all right.
	Yes, that is a good one because of course he's got all the same sort of quotes in there as well.
	And it's not just that.
	Let's see if the button works.
	Here we go.
	So, here we go.
	This is France.
	So in the UK, sorry, I don't mean to laugh.
	I just love it.
	It's like, yeah, so it's quite funny.
	It's quite funny.
	Well, France is about to crash the global economy, so enjoy your pensions.
	Yes.
	When the French heard that we were on the verge of an IMF bailout, they were like, well, hang on a minute.
	We need that bailout.
	We need it, yeah.
	And at least in the UK, they're making half-hearted, they're not trying very hard to deny it.
	Yeah.
	You know, they've had like one Treasury spokesman go and say, oh, you're exaggerating.
	You think that Spain's going to put their hand up and be like, yeah, quite, yes.
	And the Italians will be like, well.
	I mean, this is a French finance minister, Eric Lombard.
	Now he's saying, no, actually, we're going to need it.
	So, um, yes.
	Amazing.
	So coming to your point, um, so are we going to get a bailout from the IMF.
	The reason I slightly hesitate on that is, okay, yes, we're going to need one because Labour are running out of money and everything they're doing is making things worse.
	But first, if Britain and France need a bailout from the IMF, we need to ask the question, who's actually funding the IMF?
	I was going to ask that.
	Yes.
	Where do they get their money?
	So there's basically...
	Is Britain one of the major contributors?
	Well, let me go down the list.
	Who are the big boys in the IMF?
	That's going to be America.
	United States, yes, they're first.
	16.5% of the voting share tiny problem their debt to GDP ratio is higher than ours yeah but I mean they're America so they've got this kind of well special carve out when it comes to financial affairs to an extent yes no one's going to expect they're not going to they have got 33 trillion in debt so that's kind of it's kind of like a fictional thing at this point um next in the list is Japan really um but they've got an even higher debt to GDP than we have they've got
	260 okay I mean we're a bit over 100 right that sounds bad so so Japan but 260 percent I mean they've they most certainly have their own problems.
	Right.
	China.
	Oh yeah.
	China, they make a relatively small contribution, but it ends up being one of the top six for this.
	They actually only have debt to GDP of 84%.
	Oh.
	Yes.
	And I'm sure the Chinese would just be desperate to help the British.
	I mean, we've got a long history of cooperation.
	We haven't burnt down several of their major cities for at least 100 years at this point.
	I mean, completely no strings attached, I'm sure.
	Yes.
	Yes, and I'm sure they won't want anything for it.
	Things are looking up now.
	Germany.
	Germany is the fourth biggest contributor to it.
	And their debt to GDP ratio was only 65% so they're actually the only people on the list that are in a position to actually do anything the only problem is is that German banks hold a hell of a lot of debt from British banks but especially French banks so if the French system failed then German banks would need a bailout and that would mean that Germany wasn't then in a position to help France and the UK and if the British ones fail at the same time yes so they have to bail out Yes,
	it is a bit of a problem.
	Quite.
	And the last two countries on the list that could help France and the United Kingdom if they get into problems are So yes, incredible.
	First world countries, folks.
	Yes.
	Needing an IMF bailout and getting one is a slightly different proposition.
	I mean, it's just so embarrassing.
	It's like, yeah, yeah, but you know, they're constantly like, oh, Britain's going to be a world leader in this, it's going to be a world leader in that.
	It's like, bro, we're getting like third world-style bailouts from the IMF.
	And there's like mass unrest everywhere.
	Everyone's poor and everyone's fleeing the country.
	What are you talking about?
	You've screwed this up.
	Things like I could fix all of, if I was made supreme patriarch of the uk tomorrow i could fix all of this in a year right lord protector dan how would you fix it um oh just just getting rid of a whole bunch of stuff i mean um shrink the benefits start capping off the pensions um the nhs rain that in you know no no welfare for the for the immigrants i mean it's perfectly easy to do yeah i figured it would be the thing that's impossible to do is to get elected on a plan doing
	any of that stuff Any of it.
	That's why Elon Musk fell off with Donald Trump.
	Because even Donald Trump was not brave enough to go after cutting the expenditure that the so-called the entitlements as they call it in the US.
	Nobody wants to touch that, even the Republicans.
	I mean, there's often this idea that you've heard of some silly crazy scheme that you can cut.
	I mean, in the Western world it's all transfer payments.
	So in the UK it is the NHS, its pensions and its welfare.
	And also the UK state like has the odd battleship and submarine and building and buys some paperclips.
	But I mean, all of that other stuff is immaterial.
	It's the big three.
	It's NHS, pensions and welfare.
	It's transfer payments.
	And of those, the NHS and pensions, I mean, obviously, they're basically just a subsidy of old people of course which were introduced at a time when old people were poor but now one in five british boomers is a millionaire yeah yeah the old people are actually doing quite well yes and welfare of course and and you're not fixing the system unless you address those three so the like greatest generation and silent generation probably were poor and probably did need oh they were yeah i mean that is actually a I mean that is kind of how we got into
	honestly how we got into this problem was age demographics so the greatest generation went on fought a war and for whatever reason fighting a war gets you a bit bit frisky so they had lots and l lots of children.
	And then the boomers in the 80s, they were kind of looking at their parents' generation.
	and they thought, and what they realised was that being old and being poor was basically the same thing.
	So if you wanted a programme to help poor people, you just targeted,
	The problem is, is when those boomers then start to get to this point where they're all rolling out of the workforce, well, there isn't a commensurately large generation propping up behind them.
	And this is the real problem.
	The boomers shrunk the generations that come after them.
	Yes.
	Every generation after the boomers has been smaller.
	Yes.
	So when the boomers, a massive generation retire, we can't afford to pay for them.
	Well, it used to be something like four working age people for every retired person.
	Yes.
	And now it's about balanced.
	The boomers only want two kids.
	Yes.
	Well, and that, so that's the first problem.
	That then leads us on to the second problem.
	And the second problem is, well, if the boomers didn't have enough kids, well, why don't we just import loads and loads of people?
	The only option.
	You see, Bob, who grew up in Surrey and has been acclimatized to this country and knows how it works and is culturally compatible.
	Of the country.
	Yeah, is exactly comparable to...
	They say, okay, well, look, the economy is that big and it's got that many people in it.
	So we know what the GDP per capita is.
	So if we increase the number of people, then the GDP per capita will stay exactly the same because Abdul from Bomalia is exactly interchangeable with Bob.
	And then the GDP will grow.
	Two stabs ahead.
	Yes.
	Brilliant plan.
	The only problem is that it didn't work.
	Oh, yes.
	Why not?
	Why not with remittances?
	Well, no, it turns out that Admiral Fatma from Bomalia, when they turned up they didn't actually get an accounting job.
	They just kind of went on benefits.
	You also brought four grandmas who all needed benefits.
	Well, yes, yes.
	So all the bills went up, but the GDP didn't arrive as well.
	So the boomer problem led to the immigration problem, and none of those have actually stuck.
	I mean, there's been other things.
	I might do a broken economics on this to sort of fully flesh this out, or maybe I'll do that this week.
	But the response to 2008 was disastrous as well.
	So after 2008, they thought, well, so the banks, they've had a bit of a problem, have they?
	Tell you what, from now on, banks are only going to lend to the government and on housing debt.
	So that's why houses continue to surge and they keep getting more expensive, but no new businesses are open.
	Yeah, I mean, you would think that loaning money to businesses was a good and clever idea.
	Yes, so basically when banks create loans, they create money.
	Yes.
	So if you're doing that and you're...
	you're putting it into a small business, which in turn in the future generates more money, that's a multiplier effect.
	That's good money creation.
	I would suggest that's actually how a real economy is created, right?
	Well, yes, that is how both America and China became superpowers by doing that exact thing.
	Because if you're just pouring it into fixed equity, like a house, then that doesn't actually generate money.
	But if after 2008, if you take all of the loan, the money creation out of the economy and put it purely in the government and housing, what you get is a boom in government and housing.
	No kidding.
	Yes.
	Yeah, so there is that.
	Shame we didn't get that boom in business, isn't it?
	Yes, it is a little bit unfortunate um so so um it's worth drawing the comparison of course with um mistrust yes because do you remember mistrust vaguely yes um every time i look at my mortgage statement well yes you say that because she has sort of become a byword for financial incompetence which seems a bit unfair given the labour government well no two things happened with lis trust right and they happen on pretty much the same day she came out with a mini
	budget and said i'm very slightly going to decrease the top rate tax crazy okay so that's one thing that happened unheard of on the same day the bank of england all The Bank of England also said, we are going to sell an absolute shit ton of bonds.
	Really?
	Now what does that mean when they do that?
	Well, if you flood the market with anything, the price tends to go down.
	I believe so.
	Now what happened that day is the price of bonds went down.
	And the rest of the world looked at this and said, oh, look, the government, sorry, the Bank of England has just dumped a shitload of bonds on the market.
	And also Liz Trust has very, very slightly reduced the top rate of tax.
	Which one of these things have caused the price of the bonds to crash?
	Well, it's obviously Liz Truss's very, very minor tax decrease.
	So I mean, this is why Liz Truss has been saying that the Bank of England snaked her to get her out of power because they are not happy with the idea of a very very minor tax cut well so so that so opinions differ amongst economists as to which which is true um economists who know what they're talking about people like me say that it was 100 the bank of england it looks like that And the entire establishment,
	the entire media, entire government class, Whitehall, they all say, no, it was Liz Truss' very tiny tax cut that did it.
	To refer to Liz Truss, this is something that these obscure, unelected powers, banks, central banks or the so called rating agencies do.
	They wreck havoc with democracies and the will of the people.
	They did exactly the same thing, almost exactly the same thing with the government of Silvio Berlusconi, which for a long time until this current government was the last democratically elected prime minister of Italy.
	Yeah, they just scrapped democracy after that, didn't they?
	Exactly, because this, I don't know if it was a standard and poor or whoever it was, these rating agencies, they wake up and they say, okay, your credit or credibility index, whatever it's called, is no longer AAA plus.
	We just remove the plus or one of the A's and suddenly the interest you pay on your government debt skyrockets and the government everybody panics the government that's why i mentioned liz truss because the the evidence given for why she was so incompetent after you know with that setup is that long-term government borrowing costs went to 4.8 percent right but it was artificial 4.8 percent so so bear in mind 4.8 percent is considered to be such a large number that
	your name can become a byword for financial incompetence if you go beyond 4.8 percent.
	I mean it sounds bad.
	Should we have a look at where the UK is?
	Under Rachel Reeves.
	Under Rachel Reeves.
	So this is a chart of the last six months of where rates are.
	Let's put it...
	Last six months of where rates are 5.7.
	Right.
	In fact, it has not been below 5 for this entire year.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	So when was it last at 4.8%?
	just out of interest.
	I mean, if we...
	You might need...
	Here we go.
	Yeah, there you go.
	This year, the Liz Trust blip.
	which today that would be considered a considerable reduction in rates well yes i mean that that is that's been that way for at least six months oh the entire year we've not been below five percent yeah yeah i can see interesting interesting so when does rachel reeves get kicked out when does keith starmer get kicked out because the other thing like i should mention is okay yes the imf bailer is unlikely because
	they haven't got enough money um the big what could reason?
	Sorry, just a foot growth.
	Yeah, the IMF would love to give you a bailout.
	We just haven't got it, you know?
	Sorry.
	Slightly unfortunate.
	Yes.
	So the idea is the Laffer curve, it starts and ends at zero.
	If the tax rate is zero, you collect zero in tax.
	If the tax rate is 100%, you also collect zero in tax because what's the point of working if everything immediately gets taken away from you?
	And so there's a curve in the middle and you're basically, the concern is, and I would make this case, that we're already beyond the top of the Laffer curve.
	So any tax rises from here are going to result in less tax being collected rather than more.
	Well, they've already found that from last year's budget, haven't they?
	Well, they have, but...
	To put this in perspective, take June for example.
	I can't believe they couldn't fill in a black hole.
	Yes.
	in June the government borrowed was it 20.7 billion I think 20.7 billion they borrowed in June the worrying thing is do you know how much of that was just paying the interest on the debt oh it's something like a third or something isn't it 16 billion whoa whoa really Jesus so three quarters of it is servicing debt Jesus Christ.
	Yes, it's not good.
	You can see why we're heading.
	Black hole is getting filled in.
	I don't know what's going on.
	It's getting bigger.
	Now, you asked how I would.
	fix it.
	I would fix it by massively cutting spending.
	But cutting spending is ideological kryptonite to Labour.
	So there is zero chance they're going to do that.
	So Abdul's granny needs those benefits.
	Well, yes, but the big crisis will come when she's going to have to have a budget fairly soon.
	And in that budget, she's almost certainly not going to substantially cut spending across the board.
	She's almost certainly going to raise taxes.
	Now, when she raises taxes by a huge amount, and tax revenue collection actually goes down, that's what really triggers the crisis.
	Because at that point, it's like, okay, the Labour government have got no idea and everything they're doing is making everything worse rather than better.
	and everything's punitive at that point.
	Yeah, so I'm...
	So that's money that doesn't exist.
	We're just going to tax you for money that doesn't exist just because screw it.
	It's unrealized capital gains or something.
	It's unbelievable.
	The concept itself.
	or nonsense like this.
	So the markets are...
	Yes, and coming.
	Keir Starmer is well aware that the next budget is crucial.
	If she doesn't land it, Labour are possibly finished because if we end up going to the IMF, there'll be a vote of no confidence or they'll be forced out of government some other way.
	So the next budget is absolutely crucial.
	So what Keir Starmer has done is he's found, he's looked for his Rolodex and he's found the most economically competent people he can and he's had a mini reshuffle.
	And he's put them around Rachel Reeves to keep an eye on her while she's preparing this budget.
	And if we get into the situation that I talked about where they put up taxes and then tax revenue actually goes down, the result of that will be, well, at that point they even need to massively cut spending, which they should be doing now, or more likely they just print the money.
	And if they print money, then the value of the pound will fall.
	So you can already tell what the market, thinks about this reshuffle by the direction of the currency because markets are obviously not going to wait around for the printing to begin.
	They're going to start selling off now.
	Oh dear.
	Lorena looks cool.
	It is that, yes.
	Not her problem, is it?
	Well, well, he.
	Free homes and.
	I would say it's very much her opportunity, actually.
	She'd be prime minister in six months.
	I'm sure she'll fix all of the problems.
	Yes.
	Because the thing is, these people have just got nowhere to go, right?
	Like they know they're not going to do cuts, so there's nothing they're going to do.
	They can't somehow magically increase growth.
	Sharp, sharp fall in the pound.
	There's some great bits in there.
	Government net approval rate hits lowest level.
	No kidding.
	Yeah, because people.
	Sorry, sorry, go up, go up, go up, go up.
	Eleven percent.
	11% who are these mythic 11% they probably work for the Labour Party or the NHS yeah yeah yeah yeah um there was a my relationship with Reeve is stronger yeah she she hasn't that long left has she um starm as a chair meeting on immigration like oh my god has it got to the point we actually have to do something about it um More pain for Labour in the polls.
	Sacking Reece would be kinder than this humiliation.
	David Lally doesn't have a clue what's going on.
	of fantastic this keeps getting added to but there So, Labour peer, things haven't been fantastic.
	British understatement.
	What's that?
	Baroness Count Harkonnen or something insisted on Tuesday.
	Where's the quote?
	Yes, I'm not going to sugar pill.
	I'm not going to sugar the pill and say everything has been fantastic far from it.
	Yes, yes, that's about right.
	And somewhere in here we've got a chart of the pound.
	There we go.
	One of the biggest one-day falls in many a year.
	So slightly unfortunate.
	I will end on a quote, however, from Kier Starmer.
	And the quote is, the government has lost control of the British economy and for what?
	They've crashed the pound for what?
	Higher interest rates, higher inflation, higher borrowing, and for what not for you.
	That was a quote by Keir Starmer.
	Now we said it three years ago.
	During the reign of Gustavus.
	Yes, yes.
	But nevertheless, entirely pertinent.
	Well, on that note, let's move on to more of Keir Starmer.
	So we'll get some of the comments at the end, sorry.
	in the interest of time we'll move on.
	Right, I've chosen a bunch of Thank goodness, O'Rourke.
	Can you imagine what Grace Dinnell could have done to those five men if they weren't heavily armed?
	Absolutely.
	So the topic is, of course, two-tier policing, two-tier cure, and two-tier justice.
	So a tale of two flags.
	You see that was on the right, we have the peak of pro-Gaza, pro-Hamas, depending how you want to see it.
	Protest, violating, vandalizing monuments in Whitehall.
	No consequences, obviously.
	Whereas in Epping Forest, which has been the hotbed of flag protests, this lady has., as you can see, it's a government council district building, has tried to affix somehow the Union Jack.
	So it's the right kind of flag because, as we were discussing, sometimes our overlords hide themselves behind the Union Jack because the Union Jack can be actually repurposed with an imperial sense because it's the flag of the country that issues the passports and grants the nationalities, the citizenship.
	So when they want to take a middle position, they say, no, I'm totally fine with the Union Jack.
	It's not because it's not the St. George's ethnically, you know, charged flag.
	But still, she has been arrested on like a case.
	The incompetence of the police, because can you imagine how many tyrants throughout history would be absolutely delighted to find that their protesters are hanging the national flag?
	I know.
	I mean, they're the ones normally hanging the national flag themselves.
	But the police are just so retarded.
	They're like, yeah, get her.
	Make an example of her.
	She's flying the flag for racist reasons.
	I mean, I want to be a bit fair to the poor police but at this point anyone joins these forces for that salary i'd rather have my kids work at mcdonald's or something than doing the being the lackeys and the stooges of this sort of system maybe maybe ten years ago if you joined you still didn't know but today you know just being uh having to manhandle and and and arrest your fellow ethnic brethren for flying the national flag.
	I mean, it's ridiculous.
	Yeah, I agree with Dan.
	Police forces all over the world would be scratching their heads.
	I mean, this is what you have to deal with.
	So, yeah, so that was that.
	movie.
	It's so stupid.
	What happened?
	I flew the British flag.
	Oh, wow.
	This is our friend, Theo Caius calls it a tale of two, well, I call it a tale of two roundabouts.
	So you see, one roundabout, the obviously the next one.
	painted in the colors of Saint George's.
	This is the only thing that has been vandalized.
	They're just coming up everywhere.
	I've been driving around a lot for the last two weeks and they're everywhere.
	It's a genuinely viral system.
	Thank God for that.
	Whereas this one is obviously government sponsored, taxpayer funded, and vandalizing this, in contrast to the other one, was to be investigated.
	Thank you.
	Vandalising the true religion of the state.
	Exactly, of course.
	So then you see where the government's allegiance is and what the real agenda is.
	So this is another cartoon.
	This is a sizable account on Twitter.
	She says she's born and raised in Spain.
	So it's interesting that it's also catching the attention of people all around the world.
	So again, the Bobbies are removing St. George's flags while the lady has been pickpocketed by...
	Something like 95% of robberies and petty crimes go uninvestigated.
	Absolutely.
	It's unbelievable.
	But, you know, they got the flags.
	That was important.
	I don't know if it was Leicester or somewhere else a few years ago, there was a scandal where it turned out that the police would show up at house burglaries only if the number was either even or odd.
	That was their way of cutting the back.
	Yeah, it was all in the city and everywhere.
	Yeah.
	So they had this internal protocol.
	Okay, who has called?
	What's the house number?
	Odd or even?
	And they would show up only at fifty percent of the cases.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah.
	So if you if you It's literally a lottery.
	If you call the police and they don't show up at your burglary, just call them back and give them a deposit.
	Actually, I'm at 17, not 16.
	Yeah.
	You know, I'll just look out for you when you get here.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that was actually a story.
	Yeah, it was.
	You were right.
	In 2015, Leicestershire Police Oh, Leicestershire again.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The new method has been called, quote, ethically dubious.
	And this was way But it was highly effective.
	It saved them lots of time.
	It literally cut the house burglaries in half.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And maybe that was that was way before the whole flag removing operations and choreographed dance for LGBT parades, you know, drawing rainbows on the road.
	This is so big that Leicestershire Police conducted a three month trial in which crime investigators were told only to attend attempted burglaries when the victim lived in a numbered house.
	Why are you telegraphing it to burglars?
	If you're giving it to burglars, just go for the odd numbers.
	So much for justice for all, right?
	Ah, it's ridiculous.
	God damn it, man.
	That's really stupid.
	Sorry, Karen.
	No, it's okay.
	We can move on.
	But I just think this is good that it's also an international story.
	Now here we have another comparent contrast.
	On the left we have a presumably homeless person paid into the system.
	On the right we have arrived illegally by boat, Somali flag, stays in a four star hotel.
	I'm going to fact check you on this because I saw a bunch of lib fact checkers going, excuse me, they're not all in four star hotels.
	Yeah.
	Some of them are in three star hotels.
	I was like, well, there we go, you got us there.
	And it's not always a three-meal course or three-course meal.
	This makes a good point, but I also want to warn against a pitfall because even if they, and we discussed this a bit, even if they do pay into the system, I think we have a right to decide if that's what we really want, because you cannot just define a nation as an economic zone where everybody's paying taxes and raising the GDP, right?
	Because there's more to it.
	There's an identity, there's kinmanship, there's trust, there's shared.
	values and all that.
	So at the best of times, because they are always like, yeah, they need to come in to pay the pension.
	As if this is a company that we're running.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	I don't care if you pay your tax.
	I mean, often they don't, but that's another thing.
	They should.
	But even if you do, I think any nation is well within their rights to decide what sort of people we want.
	And we just don't want to be an economic zone.
	We want to be a nation, a family.
	Okay.
	Now, what else do we have?
	You have the next one.
	Now, this has been something, first Ian Miles Chung.
	Again, he's based in Malaysia.
	I don't know if he's a British national or not, but it's interesting that these people all over the world are raising these issues.
	He has broken this news, or maybe someone else, seven year contracts between the British government and the hotels and Elon Musk, which this can just as a quick thing.
	So just as a quick thing on this, yes, the government has been paying hotel owners huge sums of money to house something like fifty thousand illegals.
	There are about one hundred eighty thousand who have broken in over the last five years, but at the moment I think it's something like fifty thousand they're actually putting up in hotels.
	It has made one migrant hotel owner called Graham King a billionaire.
	35% increase in his hotel empire from government spending.
	And there was a chap the other day who was like, yeah, they offered me three million for seven years and I said no, because it ruined the place.
	And so absolute patriot.
	So, yeah, completely correct.
	Kudos to him.
	But, yeah, just like the diversity and victimhood business we were discussing, the so called solidarity business is also big money.
	And it's great that Elon Musk has, I mean, he's heavy on the government's case.
	So many tweets about the grooming gangs, obviously, and this one as well.
	And he's making a very valid point, I believe.
	If this is a seven-year contract, it means the government is even actually saddling and burdening the next government, which is there's no way in hell they're going to rewind the elections.
	They're even saddling their successors with this burden and this shows they are not actually truthful when they say they want to fix this problem because this looks like very much long term.
	One hundred percent.
	Okay, this was actually Elon Musk's post.
	The original post is unavailable now for some reason.
	Yesterday it was actually his pinned post talking about the rape of Britain and it was the story of a girl in Alden who goes to the police to report rape.
	She was allegedly a minor and allegedly drunk, or at least that's what the police tell her.
	Go back.
	Can you imagine?
	Go back and come back when you're sober and with an adult.
	And as she leaves the police station, again, she's accosted and raped.
	And again, on her way home, she's raped multiple times.
	Of course.
	This happened, I think, 2013, something like that.
	It's a few years old, but it's one of those, I think it was an Olden or something.
	Yeah.
	It's one of those stories where it's just Oh, God.
	Yeah, okay.
	Yeah.
	You're being raped three times in one chat.
	Chat is saying she was twelve years old.
	Yeah.
	I think it's great that somebody with the clout and caliber of Elon Musk is putting pressure.
	And also, you've been doing absolutely right.
	Yeah, this is the original post.
	And then we have this week we heard the archbishop of, I think it's York.
	It is.
	Because there isn't an archbishop of Canterbury at the moment.
	And at the rate this guy's going, he's not going to get replaced either.
	We'll end up with zero archbishops.
	Because yeah, like you say, like the deportation plans are unbritish, unchristian and beneath us.
	Bro, do you know how much pressure we have to put on Farage to get him to agree to mass deportations?
	Yeah.
	Shut up.
	Yeah.
	Now he's throwing a banner in the works.
	And I just don't, it's again a suicide, talk about Western collective suicide.
	And, you know, you can only compare this to white women who vote for open borders and then complain about insecurity on the streets of London and this this thing you you are um promoting or advocating for for importing hordes of infidels who want you dead and who want your religion to be um wiped out and so on Christian not to bring in millions of Muslims what Yeah,
	I mean, it's the lowest form of the dumbest form of charity, if you like.
	Can you imagine if in the 12th century, just as our lads were going off to fight the Crusades, we had archbishops basically advocating for the other side?
	side it would be wild they get that wouldn't last very long this is from Jonathan of course our friend and old colleague here at Lotus Eaters This goes to dispel what I was telling you non-Western and the source is UCL University College London non-Western immigrants are actually a net drain.
	So it's that myth is not even true that they contribute.
	GDP is actually a negative GDP.
	And by the way, what is GDP?
	Because if they buy vapes and send money home and pay commission on that or phone cases for their mobile, that's all GDP, right?
	Well, the biggest component of GDP is state spending.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So if the state spend, we're in a happier society, right?
	GDP goes up.
	Yeah.
	But, right, so yeah, this is not worth our time, as you correctly point out, and this is in Denmark as well.
	So it's not like this is like a unique case either, is it?
	Yeah, exactly.
	So we can move on to the next one.
	Again, fact checking pointed out by Nick Dixon.
	You know, Ryland Clark has apparently been sacked from this morning.
	Just as a quick thing, for anyone, any of our foreign viewers watching, The Mirror is a left-wing but low-brow paper, and so they've decided to fact check.
	him for saying actually, I'll let you carry on.
	Yeah, so he said, look, migrants come around and of course the message we said, you have nothing to lose, everything to gain.
	The worst thing that can happen to you, if at all, is that they send you back what they want.
	And as soon as you arrive, here's the hotel, here's the phones, iPad, NHS, English course, discount for the gym, one pound to get into the London Transport Museum as opposed to twenty pounds for the ordinary citizens.
	And the good people at the Mirror have fact checked right and have come up with, well, you know, the iPhones and iPads are provided by charities, so they are not always taxpayer money.
	I'm glad that George Soros funded.
	I mean, good for them, but the rest of it was all correct.
	We're still funding the NHS.
	We're still giving them 40 pounds a week, spending money.
	We're still paying for their food, their accommodation, the NHS, any other, like, you know, dental work or whatever.
	We're paying for all of this.
	Not the iPhone.
	I used to be an interpreter for some of these, you know, legal studios who interview and prep the asylum seekers.
	Right.
	Right.
	So you had the asylum seeker who is being interviewed by the Home Office for his asylum application.
	And these, of course, with legal aid paid by the taxpayer.
	Yeah, obviously.
	So these legal studios are coaching him how to go through with this procedure.
	And at the same time, you have another legal studio representing him against the government, suing the government because upon arrival he has been housed in some military barracks as opposed to the hotel.
	And these military barracks were actually facilities where British servicemen were housed in.
	So they were not like terrible places.
	But these people simultaneously were suing the government.
	You had two paddle cases and they were sure that look, regardless of the outcome of you suing the government over the military barracks, it will have no bearing on your asylum application outcome.
	So this and of course two cases both financed by legal aid.
	So this is the situation, but then the good people of Mirror So that all that's the GDP?
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's all GDP.
	When the backlash comes, it's going to be so justified to say.
	And I think this is the last thing I chose.
	It's in Persian.
	This is an Iranian account, but they are actually mocking us.
	Because why wouldn't you mock us?
	These are Iranians who are of course being anti government, are very much anti Islam and anti Islamic Republic.
	So they say, what the hell is going on with Britain they are hiring someone close to 50k per year to be a Muslim chaplain because the prison population is predominantly Muslims and again this is GDP as well it's raw GDP right in front of your eyes and they they were they were joking underneath this in the comments that you know if I were not so much anti-Islam I would apply because yeah yeah why not 50k almost 50 grand is 50 grand man you know you can't look at that get horse in the
	mouth Ah bloody hell.
	I wonder how many bishops Saudi Arabia employ for the Christian prison population they have.
	You know what?
	I don't even blame them for employing none.
	I agree with him.
	It's just that we're stupid enough not to.
	Anyway, Rob says, to my knowledge, out of all the debate podcasts I've seen, not a single person has asked a white leftist, do you hate being white?
	Do you hate the white face looking back in the mirror?
	Perhaps you should ask them.
	Honestly, the thing is you can find them talking about that sort of stuff, and they will say, yeah, I'm embarrassed by it.
	Eminem came out and said he was embarrassed to be white, didn't he?
	Do you want to get the video comments up, Samson?
	Eminem said that he was embarrassed to be white a few years ago.
	It's like, no, shut up.
	You're embarrassing me because you're white now.
	Shut up, you know.
	Archbishop of Durham says you don't need archbishops.
	What you need is archbigots.
	DM me.
	Canterbury is open, I hear.
	Matt says, will the UK get an influx of seniors from Spain if UK pensions are cancelled or reduced?
	Well, that's a great question, right?
	If the UK pension somehow doesn't pay out, what are the pensioners retiring in Spain or Magaluth or wherever going to do?
	Yeah, some of them are going to be in trouble.
	They're going to have to come back, right?
	Or become destitute in those countries.
	Thank you, Reverend Norse.
	And Joshua says, Dan, would my banking proposal be helpful here?
	Possibly.
	The byproduct of socialism is systemic oppression, which which is obviously true.
	Cambridge Royal Court, Cornwall from Oh no, I read that one a week back.
	Right, let's go to the video comments.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	Yeah, that's basically been how they've been reacting.
	They have been very sure to inform us that Saint George was Turkish, which is not true.
	But they love it, don't they?
	They've got their narrative and they're sticking with it.
	He was a Roman soldier and time traveller.
	He was.
	No, that's absolutely true.
	And they're very clear that he never came to England.
	It's like, yes, because England didn't exist in the second century.
	So yes, that's true also.
	So, but anyway, thank you, lefty shitlibs.
	Appreciate that.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Keir Starmer's a wanker.
	Beep if you agree.
	lot of people agree.
	laughs
	Eleven percent approval rating, folks.
	None of them going through the ad roads.
	Yeah.
	I mean, if I was, honestly, if I was in the government and my approval rating was eleven percent, I'd just shoot myself.
	I'd just do the honorable thing and go down into the Starmer bunker and it is whiskey in the revolver time, really.
	Do the honorable thing.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	What are you still doing here, Keir?
	He has no...
	Twice he has been asked in front of or next to Donald Trump and JD Vance about the freedom of speech issue.
	And he has looked straight in his eyes or into the camera, in front of all the press.
	Said Graham Lyon and dessert eye.
	No, no, no.
	That would have been truthful.
	We have literally said we have freedom of speech in Britain and we are quite proud of it.
	He said that in the US, in the White House and in Scotland this time.
	I'm curious this month later, as Trump comes over to London, what, what, what, what, what will be the story.
	No, you're right.
	That would be truthful.
	That would actually be an upgrade on the lie.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, no.
	Exactly, yeah, no, he just flat out lies to his face and everyone's like, we know you're lying.
	I'm sure Starman knows he's lying.
	Vance and Trump knows he's lying.
	Sure.
	So let's go to the next one.
	Hello.
	I haven't sent in a video for ages, so here's some pottery happening.
	This will become a mug.
	I'll put some handle, well, a handle on it.
	I'll pull some handles later, but I probably won't do a video because it looks obscene.
	What color should it be?
	Should I decorate it?
	Let me know.
	Let me know what I should do and I might send in another video.
	Bye.
	I always really like dark green.
	It's a very nice color dark green.
	Especially if you can get a fade on it.
	It looks gorgeous.
	So that's what I would go for.
	But do send in your suggestions.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So recently, there was a protest rally here in Australia about ending mass migration and also celebrating Australia.
	The lefty government did not support the rally, labeling it a far-right march, which considering their vocal support for the Gaza march is unsurprising.
	Unfortunately, towards the end, some neo-Nazis hijacked the rally and mainstream media portrayed them as the main organizers despite the presence of many diverse attendees who were not white well that's the thing isn't it you're always going to have a radical fringe of retards who are here to ruin it for everyone either that or their feds or their feds uh i think they actually they know everyone the guy who runs it is known so it's probably not that he's a fed it's
	probably more that he's a retard um but you know what are you going to do yeah someone's got to come out and ruin it for everyone uh anyway zesty king says i traveled to leicestershire leicester a few months ago after wandering into a residential area and being stared at for being white, I found a great mural on the side of the pub in the city centre.
	It was of a crusading knight with three St. George's crosses in no man's land next to a British Tommy, spitfires in a field of poppies.
	I couldn't help but feel that this is an admission by the presumably English owner of the pub that they were surrounded and they knew it.
	Instead of fleeing they were willing to stand.
	That's commendable.
	Yeah, that is very commendable because it's entirely possible that gets vandalized.
	You know, but Russian says lived in Leicester for four years.
	There is literally a road in North Leicester that divides the Muslim side from the Hindu and Sikh side.
	They do not think it's great, they do not mix, they hate each other.
	Multiculturalism is a pointless exercise in futility.
	Well, I mean, that's only according to the University of Leicester's own report on Leicester.
	What do I know?
	I haven't been to Leicester.
	Kevin says, Can I be surprised that the university that is 53% non-white thinks the countryside is too white?
	Yeah, that was another thing too.
	In the report, there was a particular quote by a white man with a disability.
	And he says something like, Well, yeah, when I go to the police they just don't believe me, but they look like you pointing to the interviewer, then they take it more seriously.
	So that tells you that the interviewer is Exactly.
	Diverse.
	Yeah, so yeah, no, that's totally true.
	First Keeper Orland says, Little town of Glossop is roughly 98% normal, but still has more than a fair share of Turkish bars and vape shops.
	Roughly five recently a reform council so there's some scrap of hope.
	Yeah, it's wild isn't it like you know you go to the most remote sort of parochial villages in England and somehow there's a bloody Turkish barber.
	It's like Where do they get the intelligence that these villages exist?
	Like there's one in the, you know, Fish Guard in Wales or, you know, tiny, tiny.
	Like there's no way that some Turk in Turkey, some Kurdish in Turkey, is just like, okay, I'm going there, guys.
	Like, how did you know that existed?
	Anyway, they must scout the territory quite well.
	They must.
	Jimbo says, went into the oldest pub in Lancashire on Saturday, still had straw on the roof and proudly have the Union Jack flying outside.
	Everyone seemed to know each other and treat each other as such.
	There are many sleeping shires who haven't been diversified yet and it was lovely to see.
	Well, I mean there needs to be a massive uptick in racism given the advocacy that we have for diversity because apparently diversity just brings with it racism, so's the use mercy of Leicester using Leicester as an example.
	I mean it's just not a great advertisement but what do I know?
	Colin says experience racism in the home interestingly vague phrasing.
	I wonder how much of that is other family members saying racist things about other people rather than the respondent.
	Well yeah who knows right who knows but it is interesting how even in their own homes they're being racist within one another.
	Maybe mom and dad are from different tribes.
	Yeah, yeah, it could well be actually.
	Yeah, it could well be.
	I don't know.
	Derek says, if you want lessons on how to practice sovereign austerity, look to Greece.
	Is Greece a good example of this?
	No, not really.
	I mean, they I didn't think so.
	Forced on the massive pension cuts, civil service cuts.
	One of the IMF conditions they put on Greece.
	Oh, right.
	Okay.
	So slash the pension, slash the private sector wages, sell the airports.
	How can they slash the private sector wages?
	By just saying, okay, from now on you're getting paid less.
	Oh, right.
	Okay.
	They can actually just do that.
	Yeah.
	But so, I mean, all of the spending cuts were good, but they also put up taxes.
	So the debt to GDP in Greece, I think, stayed at 180% and it just basically stayed there.
	So yes, they did cut the spending, but they also made it impossible to grow out of it because nobody could get a job there anymore.
	So it doesn't actually solve the problem.
	So the last thing you want to do is go to the IMF.
	They just make things...
	Don't you want higher wages so people can pay more tax?
	No, because all they want to do is shrink the deficit as fast as possible in the least creative way possible.
	So what you should do is cut all of the spending, but also cut taxes so that you then grow out the other side what they do is they cut the spending which is good but also increase up taxes to keep you just keep status yeah okay james says so since reeves is sending our economy down the toilet uh what do normal people do dan find god uh store tin food baseball bats um keep large amounts of money out the bank have you ever watched 28 days later yes basically that don't don't have too much money in the bank because i mean
	in cypress it just came along and just took it that's wild yeah mental so what the mattress or you mean gold bitcoin that kind of something physical gold or bitcoin would be probably my go-to's on that yeah zesty king says won, Won't the IMF have conditions for a bailout?
	Well, what will those be, Dan?
	Well, the things I just mentioned.
	Yeah.
	You'll be cut spending across the board and increased taxes.
	Jimo says, It's almost like theatre.
	Any bailout from the IMF will just continue to go towards the agenda.
	Nothing extracts wealth like bad ideas posing as solutions.
	Yeah.
	Entitlements are a literal pyramid scheme that relies on infinite people being added to the system.
	And then you finally understand immigration, don't you?
	Omar says, Taxing non-existent wealth.
	They will unironically turn the Laplace curve into a sine wave.
	Zestie King, to quote Benjamin Disraeli, There is no economy where there is no efficiency.
	And he said that in 1868.
	Kevin says leftists, the migrants pay taxes.
	Yep, Abdul came over on a dinghy, got ILR and has a job at a garage working for minimum wage.
	However, then he brought his three wives and eight children who don't work and are all claiming benefits.
	Even a backward place like Thailand has rules in place that say you can live there on a work visa, but if you want to bring your family over, you have to pay for everything they need or they don't come in.
	Now, why can't we do that?
	Also, if you enter on a work student medical visa and stop working, studying, or finish your treatment, you get out.
	Yeah, I mean, this is the problem with all of everything that's happening, is that it is the choice of the British state.
	None of this is being forced upon us.
	We have chosen absolutely every single stupid thing that we've decided to do.
	It's almost as if it's great replacement by design.
	But you say that, and some of our own friends in the sensible right or conservatives call us the woke right.
	Yeah, and it's like, sorry, they're doing it intentionally.
	I mean, they literally say we need immigration to prop up this, to prop up that, to prop up the other.
	And they know they outbreed us.
	Statistics are clear.
	The population of the southern side of the Mediterranean has grown threefold, fourfold in the past.
	the past few decades so it's obvious so how how come the government the government we have governments and this government who predict the temperatures in the not so distant future.
	How come they can't predict the population graph?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So it's obviously this intentional.
	You saw Matt Goodwin's population graph the other day, a couple months ago, right?
	Where it's like, yeah, but was it 2060 or something that the English will become a minority in England?
	And it's like, so it's perfectly conceivable because, I mean, and that's assuming they don't just Boris Johnson us some more and keep cranking open the floodgates.
	But it's inevitable that this is going to happen.
	And, I mean, you know, I'm sure that the GDP will pay for itself eventually.
	Anonymous says, Labour wants to allow the illegals to work straight away so they pay taxes in three years.
	They'll argue they should be able to vote well well wales already does that wales already allows illegals to vote in their elections but it is a matter of time that this happens in britain and the thing is it's all backed front obviously because obviously someone born overseas should never have political power they should never be able to claim benefits they should not be enfranchised in any way shape or form we should be treated essentially like the athenians treated the metics so the metics were a class of immigrant workers like artisans,
	small businessmen, who were allowed to live and work in Athens, pay taxes and profit from living in Athens, because they were part of like, you know, a trade network, but they had no political enfranchisement whatsoever.
	And why would they?
	Like, what would be the reason for it?
	Right.
	And here we are at the point where we've got, I mean, we've had foreign-born, well, like non-ethnically native prime ministers now.
	Kimmy Badenock, literally an African in charge of the...
	So it's literally That's precisely what I think is going to happen actually.
	If the hotels are full of illegals, Lancel asks, how do you still have a tourism industry?
	That's a great question.
	I'm not sure we could say we have much of a tourism industry these days.
	I mean, the thing is, a lot of the places people used to go for tourism, you don't really want to go now.
	When the government of Australia on its official website is advising caution or extreme caution for Australians who visit London.
	Same with the Chinese.
	The Chinese are like, yeah, go to London and they're quite racist about the demographics they pick out.
	Be more honest.
	Yeah, they're more.
	Yeah, they're more.
	Yeah, lack of political correctness in that regard.
	If the police and councils lead into it, it would be dismantled and stopped.
	Like when the boomer or millennial leans into a meme.
	Yeah, no, this is, this is completely true.
	They, like I said, they can absolutely.
	solve all these problems and they know they can.
	It's just political reasons, moral reasons keep us changing.
	Liberalism.
	Yeah, liberalism is one hundred percent that.
	And there are lots of people saying happy birthday, so thank you very much.
	46, I feel quite old.
	Looking forward to going out for dinner tonight, though.
	That'll be fun.
	And First Keeper Orland says, if possible, could Dan maybe do a brokenomics on highway spending?
	It seems to have gone up astronomically since 2020.
	Is it UK or US highways?
	I don't know.
	You'll have to look into it.
	First Keeper Orland, why don't you reply to your own comment and put some more details on that one?
	Yeah.
	But right.
	So, Nicholas, where can people find more from you?
	Thanks for asking.
	My YouTube channel is called Nicolas De Santo Anglo Italian comedy.
	I'm approaching 100,000 subscribers.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I'm at 94.
	So this show might actually give me the final push.
	So on those videos in the description, people can learn about my upcoming show this Saturday in Tampa, Florida.
	Wow.
	I've called it Alligator Alcatraz Tour.
	I'll be in Florida in Tampa in Orlando.
	And later this month in London, on the 17th, we are celebrating Trump's official visit.
	It's going to be me, Count Dankula, Louis Schaeffer, and Alistair Williams.
	Awesome.
	In London, secret location, immune to cancel culture.
	So check the links up in the description of my videos.
	I love Alistair Williams.
	Years ago, I had the mistake of having him at a live show that I was at.
	Like, he was he was going on first and then I was giving a talk afterwards.
	And the problem is, and I say it was a mistake because he is like, it's him and Leo are basically the funniest men on earth.
	And so, and they've got this, I don't know, it's a really strange way of like controlling the crowd with it.
	But basically, everyone's howling.
	Now I'm not okay, I'm not a comedian and I'm here to talk to you about politics.
	I'm going to give you a lecture.
	Philosophical lecture.
	And basically, like, you know, he demolished me by just being so much more talented than I am.
	And I was just like, God.
	In that department, what, he's good.
	Yeah, yeah, he's so, so good.
	So yeah, do go and see those.
	They're going to be absolutely excellent.
	But, right, thanks for joining us folks.
