Hello and welcome to the podcast on Lotus Caesars episode 1279.
I'm your host Harry, joined today by Bo and Nate, the two hosts of the State of Politics podcast, which you should definitely subscribe to on YouTube.
And uh today we are going to talk about uh the sad collapse of the grooming gang inquiry is sad, but sadly I would say not unexpected.
Uh we're going to talk about the riots that have been going on in Ireland again and the heist of the century.
But before we get into that, first of all, I'd like to remind everybody that Stelios' ancient Greek virtue ethics course is available on the website if you go to courses.loathseaters.com.
That's available.
And I have outside of that, a special announcement.
Before we get into the horrible news, there is good news, and that is people have been asking for a long time if I would be doing a follow-up to the Comics Corner series that I used to do with Connor before he left.
And it's taken a little while, but I can say now, definitively, yes, I'm doing a follow-up.
It's going to be with Samson, our producer as a co-host.
And not only can I announce this right now, I can confirm next Thursday, which I believe is um what is that, the 30th of October, the day before Halloween, we'll be doing our very first episode.
The show will be called Journey to the East.
It won't specifically just be about comics and manga, it will also be about general weeby culture stuff and video games, obviously.
And uh the first episode is going to be a live stream for our subscribers on the website, which will be starting at three o'clock, and just in time for Halloween, we are going to be covering the Silent Hill video game series.
The original four games done by Team Silent, the movies, and then the resurgence it's been going through.
So anybody who's been looking forward to anything like that or our coverage of those games for a long time.
I know I intended to do it three years ago, but I've finally got around to it.
Uh, then you should tune into that next week, Thursday, the 30th of October at 3 pm for our subscribers on the website.
So uh with that, let's get into the news.
Should do uh Akira.
We are planning on doing akira.
I've read the full manga series now.
It's a movie.
Uh I've watched it years ago, but I'm gonna re-watch it for when we use it.
Beautiful, beautiful great, great series.
Uh the first feature-length animes of uh one of the first feature-length animes.
Yeah, certainly the one uh one of the ones that got big in the West, inspired The Matrix, inspired the whole cyberpunk thing.
Many, many, many.
The first one I ever saw back in the 90s.
Well that you seen it.
Yeah.
Aquila.
Yeah, it's great.
It's brilliant.
So we've got a laugh at our sabbatically.
Someone clean that someone clipped that.
All right, well.
Motorbike slide, iconic scene.
Gotta be done, gotta be done.
Right.
Well, let's talk about the grooming gang uh inquiry collapsing.
Sadly, sadly.
So this was announced in June.
And the inquiry into grooming gangs was a pretty reluctant step from the Labour Party.
Uh, they had mounting pressure basically from all sides.
And then it was the Casey report.
Um pretty soon it was the Casey report that basically blew a lid on that, and the mountain pressure from all sides basically forced their hand.
Um they then said, yep, sure, we'll do it.
But they're not really doing it, are they?
They're not really doing it.
Unfortunately, to be expected.
So we're gonna have a nice little journey through this as this has developed, because there's a little bit more than just there's been some updates, so we're gonna kinda track the timeline, I guess, to a degree.
So two survivors quit.
These are actual survivors.
These are people who have suffered uh sort of incomprehensible things, uh, which were brought upon them by policy.
Uh, it was wholly avoidable.
Remember that.
This was wholly avoidable.
We didn't have to flood this country with Pakistanis.
So basically, you've got Fiona Goddard and Ellie Reynolds, these two uh individuals.
Uh quit, and they basically said there's a cover-up.
So it's a cover-up, there was toxic environment for the survivors.
And remember, this was announced in June, July, pretty soon it was June.
And they still don't have someone to lead it.
There's no chair person.
And every single individual that they have proposed is a member of an element of infrastructure which has failed our women and children, right?
Our women and girls.
And so obviously they were like, well, no, because you're part of the system.
We don't want you to chair this because that's that would be bad.
You would obviously have a hand or or no tangentially someone who could have been involved in this, and by that there's a conflict of interest there.
Like having an ex-police chief.
That's exactly the sort of person you don't really want, isn't it?
That was one of the people.
Right, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Um is not what you want.
And if people remember, um Jess Phillips didn't want this inquiry at all at one point, wasn't it?
There's a window of time where she was just saying, No, we're not doing it.
No.
That's a no from us.
Yeah.
And then had to sort of 180 on that because of so much pressure.
But um we'll get to Jess Phillips.
None of the establishment want it, but particularly Labour, particularly Labour, yeah, don't want it.
For a few reasons as well, like I guess sort of great segue, um, is of course a lot of Labour's heartlands, which were traditionally the red wall, they have flooded with Pakistanis, Pakistani Muslims.
There's a really important key element there.
And Jess Phillips being one of them who barely scraped by at the last election.
Barely scraped by.
Barely scraped by.
I think a majority is under a hundred, isn't it?
I don't I don't know whether it's whether it's under a hundred, but it it wasn't a big majority.
Like it was genuinely like you a coin toss, be a coin toss.
And you know, Jess Jess Phillips got heckled.
Uh, you know, when she's doing her sort of uh acceptance speech, obviously by certain individuals, Pakistani Muslims, uh and didn't call it out, obviously.
No, no, it was just men.
Yeah, just some men.
She will lose her seat next time, 100%.
I'd put my mortgage on that.
100%.
She will not be an MP in the next parliament.
No way.
Yeah, no, I I I would agree with that.
This is her swan song in politics for sure.
And this is what she'll be known as.
Yeah.
This and that how tragic is that?
The minister for safeguarding uh women and children I don't know what the exact title is, but this is basically her remit, will be known, it'll go down in history as effectively the individual that has presided over another bogus inquiry.
Well done.
Yeah, brilliant.
Well done.
Well done.
Thanks for nothing, Jess.
Yeah, absolutely fantastic.
So some key take homes from this.
Um Jess Phillips has obviously denied that there's a cover-up, uh committed to exposing the failures, probably not, absolute BS.
Uh, and something which uh w I picked up on when we've covered this elsewhere on the set politics, um, is that their new line is it's gonna be laser focused, laser focused, and that's something which every single minister who's been spoken you know, who's has been asked this, that's the line that they trot out.
So definitely have been uh home office communications meeting.
Yeah, we're saying laser-like focus, everyone r remember that, say that over and over again.
Yeah, that's their that's the dialogue that they've all been told that's what we're gonna say.
That's our that's our wording on this.
Um but and now a fourth survivor has quit.
So it's not just three, it's now four, right?
And again, Mahmood Mahmood, she's definitely gonna be unbiased, isn't she?
Uh insists it won't be watered down, and the reason why talking about it being watered down and effectively broadening the scope and basically uh collapsing the inquiry, is they they've been asked a whole bunch of questions to say, hey, uh sho should this also include just like random other bits and pieces as well?
Well, no, because then it wouldn't be a grooming gang inquiry, would it?
Just all types of other sex crime.
Yeah, basically.
It's like, well, no, that's not that's not the point.
The point of this is and it we've spoken about this and said that the this is completely redundant anyway, right?
It may it may be an element of catharsis to the victims, which I I I accept, but we all know who's doing it.
Like we all know who's doing it.
We've known four years.
Well, this this is another method of kicking the can down the road, exactly wasting everybody's time.
And if they are and if yeah, and they if if they are going to expand it out like you're suggesting that they're thinking of um one of the worries that I was having thinking about all of this was that it would go the same way as the 2020 um sex crimes inquiry, I forget who it was that headed that.
Was that pretty patel?
Yeah, I think so.
So this is exactly the same thing.
Because I was broadening the scope.
In the same in that one back in 2020, all of the headlines were something to the to the effect of it.
It's not majority, these people, it's mainly white people doing this.
It's mainly white people.
And the way that you found that if you went through the paper that they released was in like the uh introductions to it, where it doesn't go through any of the actual data, but in the introductions, the editorializing tells you, well, what we found was that it was majority white English or white British people who were conducting the majority of the uh sex crimes in this country without breaking it down any further than that.
But then if you actually went deeper into the text, the part where clearly the tabloids had ignored it, it was giving the actual breakdown of statistics where you found that oh no, actually there is a massive overrepresentation of Middle Eastern Asian on this very specific kind of uh sex crime, basically, right, isn't it?
And that's in terms of grooming gangs, gangs organised specifically to groom and assault young girls, they were massively overrepresented.
And also young women who are the uh most at risk, the most sort of uh at risk for these things.
You know, they they would potentially be in the care system or you know, they're in care homes, or you're from broken families, these kind of things.
And so they're very, very, very specific.
And yes, a what they want to water it down in the same way so they can broaden the scope of it and hide it so that again we can get the headlines of now it will be national grooming gang inquiry, the thing that people have been asking for for ages, reveals that it's majority white British people committing sex crimes across the country, and then they will ignore the fact that the actual data is hit buried deep within the inquiry paper, whatever gets released off the back of this.
The per capita it's a completely different story.
Yeah, completely different story.
Yeah, and this is exactly what they're doing.
So that's I guess why they're trying to broaden the scope is exactly that same principle, right?
So the data that they glean from this uh inquiry doesn't incriminate their client class who are gonna vote you out anyway.
So you might as well do something that's actually morally just for once, right?
Because you're voted out, you're gonna be gone.
So you might as well go out where history remembers you not as complete scumbags.
But that's what they're trying to do.
So too late for that.
The other thing I quickly say is that these survivors they've decided to quit the inquiry.
Can you imagine for them what it's like is that finally after a lifetime a lifetime, you finally hopefully gonna get your moment and it's being the rugs being pulled out from under your feet to the point where you can't even continue it.
Yeah, yeah.
Where you feel like you can't even go on anymore with your what should have been would have been some sort of small redress of the injustice, and you've been screwed over so badly that you feel like you have to quit.
They must have felt, I can only you can only infer that they must have felt that it's not like a little bit watered down, it's not like a little bit of a cover-up, it's completely otherwise they wouldn't they you would have thought anyway.
I don't know what goes on in in their decision-making matrix, but you know, they they must feel that this is being uh completely subverted.
Yeah, otherwise they wouldn't I would have thought probably wouldn't have just quit and walked away from it.
Well, you think so.
You you you can only infer that they view it as an exercise in futility.
Yeah.
Right?
Because otherwise you would do something.
If they saw some inherent value in pursuing it, they wouldn't just up and leave.
You would think so, yeah.
That that their actions are predicated on that.
So this then happened uh late yesterday.
Uh, this is again just another individual, and this this kind of for those just listening.
One of the candidates that was going to be, you know, for the to lead this was again just director of children's services, and it's like, well, There's no point in someone like that being a part of it.
You are part of the establishment.
You are part of the infrastructure.
You want someone who's completely unrelated to anything like that.
Right?
And this is what they kept putting forward.
Because they still don't have anyone to lead the inquiry.
Again, it was announced in June.
I mean, that alone is just a complete clown show.
It's farcical.
If you actually wanted to do it, you'd get it done pretty quickly.
Alright, you'd have someone appointed pretty much prior to even announcing it.
You'd be like, this person's gonna be doing it.
Let's go.
It's all already been announced.
You know, already been approved, they're going ahead.
It's all good.
It's like exactly the wrong person, someone that was uh director of children's services.
No.
Yeah an ex-police cop, no.
Uh an old Labour counsellor from Rochdale.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
There I'm sure there's plenty of tr sort of truly independent, fair-minded peers in the House of Lords.
I'm sure there's plenty of them.
They could have picked one or picked one before you even set this thing off so you can hit the ground running.
Yeah, you think so, wouldn't it?
But this whole thing is is an exercise in um prevarication.
Yeah, isn't it?
Well, that's what it is.
It's just a form of filibustering.
Again.
Right?
Kicking the can down the road.
I have just read on the side of this Guardian article because it's live, because obviously we're we're recording this on Wednesday.
Um PMQ's just gone out as well.
Um Starmer has now announced that Louise Casey will join the grooming gang's inquiry.
I mean, that's something, I guess.
Something.
We can't get too into that, obviously I don't know that much.
This is just updating it.
Politics, it moves fast, it moves fast.
Um so obviously if if something comes from that, I'm sure we'll update this.
Um but then I want to get to the general response, which has probably led to Starmer doing that.
And uh Oh, who's this?
Jess Phillips, our our best mate here, Jess Phillips.
Uh I just want you to I want you to listen to her tone.
I want you to listen.
Oh yeah, unfortunately.
Well, I know it'll make you hate her even more.
All right.
And I think it's important sometimes to look look these people in the eye and just see how contemptible they are, right?
Because these are the people that are in charge.
You want to make sure that these individuals never get in power ever again.
So and just just yeah, it's well just over to you, Jess.
Oh brilliant.
You're clear.
I'm not I'm suggesting that I will listen completely and utterly to the feedback from the victims that were and are still are on that they are not spreading misinformation at all.
But what the his interpretation is a brilliant case in point because I will be completely honest.
The conversation with Oldham is do we not think it might be better for them just to take part in a statutory inquiry?
That it is absolutely nothing to do with the idea that Oldham is telling me what to do, and the more people from that side Oh, he can hold up his paper and have a smug face all he likes.
But the fact of the matter is, is that there is absolutely no council in this country who will tell this inquiry where it can and cannot go.
I have said that one million times from this dispatch box, and yet the same thing gets peddled again and again.
Thank you, Mr. The victims of these crimes were vulnerable children who were ignored and who are gaslit and who are dismissed.
Two women have now resigned, two victims have now resigned because of this process and there's lack of failure in the process.
And yet what I hear from the Minister appears to me to be an aggressive and defensive tone.
Does she regret the fact is she going to listen?
Well, is she going remember these people watching?
Is she going to listen to the victims?
And does she regret that these two individuals have resigned from the process?
I absolutely regret that they have resigned from a process, the process that funnel Jess Phillips there on Slayer.
Yeah, yeah, but she said it a million times.
Is she though?
A million times.
Um yeah, I mean, she's the definition of of an obnoxious Karen.
I mean, it's much worse than merely obnoxious Karen, isn't it?
Um I wonder what goes through these people's heads.
What what do you think you're doing?
What do you think you're engaged in?
just trying to defend her own position, her own career, her own party, that the the home office that she's a minister of.
Just that.
It's not about what really happens, not about the truth.
It's not about ripping the plaster off and finally talking honestly about this.
It's not about that for her, obviously so.
Despicable, despicable behaviour.
I think I think I think one of the issues is is that because Parliament is such a farce, right?
When you have PMQs and people just stand there and it's the sort of theatrics element.
It that's just it is a farce, that's farcical.
Right.
All the questions are pretty much given in advance, they have their responses basically in advance.
It's just theatrics.
It's absolute just theatrical nonsense.
No one cares, no one's actually being serious, it's a very unserious process.
So when you do actually have to deal with serious things, when the proverbial hits the fan, they don't know what to do, they don't know how to act.
And they sort of fall back on screeching.
Yeah.
And and it it's just worse than obnoxious Karen, isn't it?
I mean, if you want to project strength, that's not the way to do it.
No.
No, that's not someone in control, is it?
That's a nursery teacher losing control of the toddlers.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely is, yeah.
That's a good analogy like that.
I mean, Parliament is by its nature like a cult in the sense that it is adversarial.
You've got sort of a prosecution and offence sort of thing.
And you are supposed to, of course, especially if you're a member of the government, you're a front bench government minister or something.
Of course you're supposed to defend your party and your your policies and all that sort of thing, but uh to be so badly partisan that you're just screeching at people asking you questions.
Good times, man.
Over something so terrible as this.
Again, what do you what do you think you're doing?
Yeah.
Where do you think you are?
Who do you think you're talking to?
Should be humbling yourself.
Yeah.
These are victims.
Right?
Of like awful things that have been gone on and it's still going on today.
Right.
There are current victims watching this right now who will be going, Well, my life is completely screwed up, I'm never I'm never gonna get out of this situation.
Because it still happens right now.
We we talk about it in a historical sense.
It's still happening right now.
So can you imagine that the the people going through it at this very point in time may catch a glimpse of this and just go, all hope's completely lost.
I mean it was only a couple of months ago one of the the the uh you know previous victim, a historical victim exited this realm by their own accord, as a result of the harm that they've been put in and had to endure.
Yeah, can you imagine if again if you're a victim of it right now and you see the government minister that's in charge of it, and she's more concerned that somebody asked her a question in a smug way.
That's what she's concerned about, that's what she's angry about, that.
Yeah.
How dare you be smug?
Like, no, mate.
No.
You don't have a mind.
Well, I mean, all ultimately people like Joseph Phillips have gained social power through their entire career through various different levels of tone policing.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Uh, because that's how certain women express power and try to control other people through social shaming and tone policing, as such, like you say when she's got nothing else to fall back on.
She she reverts to type.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
That's that's her true colours, that's who she really is.
Yeah.
A really aggressive, obnoxious partisan Karen.
That's what she is.
That's who she is.
Yeah, 100%.
100%.
So this is one of the victims, uh, the historical victims, uh, and they basically just came with receipts.
This is Fiona Goddard, um, who has left the inquiry, and she basically came with receipts.
I'm not gonna read the whole thing, obviously, but some of it's important.
And she just says, My response to Jess Phillips, I don't know why she's saying my claims are untrue when she knows I have the evidence to prove it.
So this is someone basically lying in Parliament now, which is that's a big no no Jess.
Um basically as it says, for first time concerns were raised around expansion of the inquiry scope beyond the grooming gangs was during a meeting where survivors of all kinds of uh CSE child sexual sexual exploitation, not just grooming gangs, were invited to a meeting with the mayor of West Yorkshire To discuss the terms of reference for the national inquiry.
There should be no one else invited to the inquiry.
There should be no one else invited to the meetings.
No one involved in any other kind of child sexual sexual exploitation.
They've had their inquiries, they've had their hearings, they've had all of this.
Grooming gangs haven't.
This was supposed to be solely about them.
And yet they're they're just by that very virtue, they're widening the scope.
Shouldn't be involved.
They've got nothing to add.
Well, again, each of those individual cases, because if it's child sex exploitation in general, then that will include many, many dozens of if not hundreds and thousands of individual cases.
Each one of those is a tragedy.
No one's going to finish that.
Well the point of the grooming gangs, whether or not people want to say it out loud, is to discover how widespread the targeted racial profiling of white British girls by foreign grooming gangs is.
How widespread is that?
We want to know that.
That's what we need to know.
And again, trying to broaden the scope of that is just a way of trying to water down and obfuscate that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
A home office communications team can come out and say that it's it's laser like focus.
But it it kind of clearly isn't, it seems like, it just isn't.
Yeah, if there are it's if there's anyone else involved in it that is not from grooming gangs, then yeah, no, it's that's not laser focused.
Then how is that laser?
Literally not.
Um so there's a little bit more here.
Later, she was invited to join the victim survivors panel to help steer the terms of reference for the inquiry.
Again, the panel included more survivors of other CSE not related to grooming gangs.
On the panel, it was noteworthy that only survivors who were not impacted by grooming gangs and those that we knew had close relations to Jess Phillips, were the only people pushing for the scope of the inquiry to be pushed to all kinds of CSE.
So not laser focus.
Directly ties back to Jess Phillips.
Directly ties back to Jess Phillips.
Shortly after uh this individual was added to the panel, she got an email saying we are about you know to be consulted on the terms of reference, and one of the questions on the agenda should the inquiry have an explicit focus on grooming gangs or group based CSE or take a broader approach.
So it's a blatant lie for Jess Phillips to suggest, as she has done in her letter that it is untrue that there has been a possibility or conversation around expanding the scope beyond grooming gangs.
Jess Phillips also denies that the government has sought to take regional approach to investigations.
This is a lie.
In the meeting with the mayor of West Yorkshire, mentioned earlier, Alison Lowe, the deputy mayor, said that she, quote, did not want a review anywhere in West Yorkshire and Bradford's uh is in West Yorkshire, end quote.
Though she later changed her position, no truly national review would entertain the idea of having areas opt out of an investigation, especially an area like Bradford, obviously.
So there's that's obvious what they're trying to do there.
Uh yeah, so very, very obvious.
Um this is actually parts of the email, basically.
As you can see, number three, should the inquiry this is the email, should the inquiry have an explicit focus on grooming gangs or group based CSE or take a broader approach.
Right, well, that's not laser focus, then is it?
Here's some more stuff.
A meeting with a refusal to hold an investigation, which then turned into a regional investigation instead of just an investigation of Bradford, says there, quote, I do not want to review anywhere in West Yorkshire, and Bradford is obviously in West Yorkshire.
Oh, there's some more.
Jess Phillips also claims that the inquiry is independent of the home office, that she had no idea who was on the panel, that she had no knowledge of the scope being expanded.
None of this is true because this individual raised her concerns personally with Jess.
Personally with Jess.
And here you have it here.
Sorry literally a text.
But if it's supposed to be about grooming gangs, why is the charity that the Home Office has set up to consult with survivors just sent out the agenda for the questions that are going to be asked, and one is about the uh expansion to a broader approach.
Let's see what Jess has said in response.
Don't want you to misunderstand the reason for the question is because there have been differing views, and we want you to be able to give a clear steer on what you want.
I know it's hard.
They can only ever push things away from themselves, can't they?
You can only ever kick the can.
They can never take responsibility themselves.
This is one of the reasons I absolutely despise government bureaucrats.
When you say it'll make me Hate Jess Phillips even more.
You are right, but there's only so much that a drop has an effect on an ocean.
I know.
I know it's hard to trust, but I can promise you no one is trying to manipulate the response, and it's my view, blah, blah, blah.
No.
No.
Literally came from.
Why should anybody believe you?
Yeah.
Literally came of all the receipts.
So that's where we're at.
Jess Phillips now has an untenable position as that minister.
Will she will she be fired?
No, probably not, because Queer Starmer is just a clown.
This whole Labour government is a clown.
You can't hate them enough.
But maybe just that little bit more.
You can hate them from this.
Alright, then.
May I have the mouse?
No.
Well, I'm taking it anyway.
Nothing that you want the little box.
Uh no, I don't like the little box.
I'll keep my box.
Yeah, you can you keep hold of it.
Don't you worry about that.
Anyway, so uh we've got quite a few rumble rants and super chats.
We'll go through those.
First of all, the shadow bands uh Harry is weebing out.
Well, this is a series that I've been looking forward to for a long while.
Like I said, we expanded the scope so it's not just manga, so we can talk about all sorts of pop culture and also culture in general over there, because it's a fascinating place.
But I prefer um Orientalist to weeb.
Um Sigil Stone says, Morning, gents.
How'd you celebrate Dwali this year?
Even Trump did it.
To be fair though, it's not the first time a demonic ritual has been performed in the Oval Office.
Monica Lewinsky uh waiting on response there.
Um I didn't celebrate Diwali.
Shock of all shocks.
I shit in a toilet to celebrate it.
Not in the street, not on the corner.
My god.
Disrespect.
Celebrate everything opposed to it.
I had a big old side of beef.
Out of beef wellington.
Oh beef cheeseburger.
Legend.
Oof.
That's a random name.
Endorsed Fed posting, as always.
Thank you for your contributions.
Uh Habsification.
Next time any government minister tells you violence against women and girls is priority for them.
Don't believe them.
Never did in the first place.
They literally don't give a toss.
Absolutely right.
Explosion says, I met a young man who recently left Iran post-US bombing.
He's a Muslim.
I can I can understand why you maybe want to get out of there, because I doubt that's going to be the end of it.
But he's a Muslim to Christian convert, and he thinks the West is completely retarded for letting Muslims into their country.
So embarrassing.
Well, I think you'll find most of the countries these people come from, no matter what denomination, what religion, what race they are, think we're retarded for taking as many as we do in because they know that that's the way to destroy your country, whatever religion they come from, if you just, you know, like mass import millions of foreigners, that's not good.
And their countries would never do it.
Luke Stewart uh on YouTube, G'day, not to sound like a Fed.
That's a bad start to any sentence.
But doesn't this just help the argument to remove the people if a political party decided to run on it?
Yes, and that's why they don't want to actually have the report go anywhere.
Yeah, it's the argument I made on the state of politics to subscribe to the state politics.
Great channel, that where I say, we don't need another inquiry, actually.
We've had years of inquiries, we know where it goes, it ends up being a whitewash.
We've done that.
Maggie Oliver told us years and years ago uh what is going on.
We all know what's going on.
We need to deport millions of people from this country who can't be trusted not to do sex crimes.
Yeah.
That's what we need to do.
Don't need another inquiry, actually.
We know what the problem is.
Yep.
And uh Chris says, Rachel thieves crying on the French bench, spiking bond yields.
Jess laughs at men's issues.
Yeah, that's something we should never forget.
Phillips throws a hissy fit when challenged.
Isn't it great having strong whamin in government?
Absolutely, every single day.
And we've just got one more through.
Shin Shabin says, Remember, people, you can mute words from your ex-feed in your account settings.
Please do know.
I will know please to know I'll never see Duali in my feed again.
Job done.
Remember that reform posted a happy Diwali to everybody.
Great sign.
Absolutely.
Alright, moving on to the next segment.
Ireland is rioting again.
I know it's a day ending in Y, but frankly, they never have bad reason to do so.
It's always worthy over there.
Not that I would ever encourage violence or anything like that, but I can understand where the Irish are coming from, particularly with this story that I'm going to go over.
But first, reminder to everybody if you want to know right from wrong, if you want to know how to Order your life in a virtuous manner, then you might be interested in Stelios' Ancient Greek Virtue Ethics course, which is currently on sale at courses.lotacitas.com.
You can uh pay for it in three hundred and twenty-five pounds all at once, or you can split it into three manageable payments of 108 pounds and thirty-four pence.
Nice and precise there.
It's a huge, huge course.
Steleos worked very, very hard on it.
Well worth your time and money, so please give that a look in if you're interested.
So this story starts here with uh this news story from Monday and yesterday, Tuesday, uh, where it's um reported on nice and accurately here by the BBC, not trying to hide anything further down in the article, where it's a story of a man in court charged with sexually assaulting a ten-year-old girl.
So sadly, across the West, this is a common story.
This is not a man.
There's yeah, a man, where men with no further descriptions go around uh abusing young girls indiscriminately.
Brilliant.
And uh they report in here that a man has appeared in court in Dublin, charged with sexually assaulting a ten-year-old girl who is in the care of the Irish child and family agency Tulsa uh Tuzler.
So great job making sure that this young girl was protected and had safeguarding.
Great job to that agency, Tuzler.
Tuls a Tusler, however you pronounce it.
The incident is alleged to have happened in the early hours of Monday morning, which would be the 20th of October.
Twenty-six-year-old man was charged with sexually assaulting the young girl at Garter Lane Sagart, Co.
Dublin, contrary to section two, and it gives the name of the law.
A guarder, Irish police officer, told the court the man accused replied, I have nothing to say when he was charged.
He was granted free legal aid after he was uh after the court was told he was not working.
So it's always lovely to know that the state is paying for such things.
He was remanded in custody to appear in court on Wednesday today when there will be a bail application.
So who knows if he will be able to be out on the streets already by the end of today.
Good luck if he is.
Yeah.
If he's good luck if he does.
You know, it's it's a man.
26-year-old man.
A 26-year-old man of no description.
Probably Irish, right?
Just yeah, presumably Irish.
But then you scroll down a little bit and you find this little sentence here.
A defence solicitor requested an Arabic interpreter.
Oh.
Okay, so this is one of those common Arab-speaking Irishmen.
There's you know, there's three languages that the average white Irishman speaks, which is uh, you know, English, Irish, and Arabic.
No.
No, this is another case.
This is another case of a foreign asylum seeker, a foreign invader, coming and assaulting young white girls.
In this case, a poor ten-year-old Irish girl who was supposedly under state protection.
Because as it says here, Tul uh Tussler is the dedicated Irish state agency responsible for child protection, early intervention, and family support services.
Great job.
Give a round of applause to yourselves there, guys.
Fantastic work.
A girl was assaulted on your watch.
Some um fantastic.
Parallels there with the segment I just did, isn't there?
Really?
You know, random foreigner.
Sadly, and you're very innocent girl.
It became very clear very quickly what had happened.
You see Keith Woods posting about this, this screenshot, details of sexual assault at City West earlier today.
Understood a ten-year-old Irish girl alleged to have been raped by an African asylum seeker.
I would assume North African if they speak Arabic, on the grounds of the hotel, which is housing asylum seekers.
The girl is in Tusler care.
But it gets even worse because of course it can never just stop there, can it?
There has to be an extra layer of humiliation and disgrace put on top of a story like this, which is that in the urgent review that has been ordered by the state into the state of state care for these young girls.
Uh, well, it turns out one thing, which is that the asylum seeker, asylum seeker, was already determined back in March to not meet the criteria.
Oh and had been issued a deportation order.
Ah, one of those back in March.
Those orders that don't actually get enforced.
So we are seven months out.
Amazing.
Seven months out from this.
So this is something which directly could have been avoided if the state did their job?
I can't believe people still make the argument, for example, that it's just uncivilised to deport these people.
or let them in in the first place.
That these are just our friends and neighbours.
Yeah, no, they're not.
No, it's disgusting.
Why should we trust any of these people?
And again, this was somebody who is being housed in this City West Hotel, which is literally right out which is literally the s the site of where this assault happened.
And people know that, okay, there's at least one rapist in there.
And they weren't deported for whatever reason, they were denied asylum, they were certain to be deported, but they just weren't.
So the question becomes, how many more are in there?
How many more are the state refusing to eject from my country?
And how unsafe am I?
How unsafe is my family?
And so they also mention here, uh, they say that uh 3,500 deportation orders were signed this year compared to about 2,400 last year, and the numbers seeking asylum is down about 38%.
Yeah, but the orders don't matter if you don't enforce them.
That's redundant, isn't it?
Well, we've we've issued we've issued them, so shut up.
And this and this is this was asked uh this was asked by a Mary Lou Macdonald, who is a the uh sh uh Shen Fen leader.
She she asked, can I ask how it is that a person issued for the deportation order remains in the country?
To which uh they said uh and she also pointed out there are a number of other cases of children who'd gone missing and died, who were in the state's care, at which point the apologies for my pronunciation here, Tao Sheikh Michael Martin said that oh it's unfair to conflate this with other cases, the other cases are equally difficult and grave.
No, it sounds like there's a big problem as well as keeping all of these invaders in your country when they shouldn't be there in the first place, and then when you issue the deport deportation order, you don't do anything with it.
It seems like there's a major problem with this state protection agency not protecting children.
And we can only guess, given this story, who are the ones making them go missing and making them die.
I have my thoughts.
And the people of Ireland in Dublin also have their thoughts, because of obviously what happened was that there was a protest on Monday that went off without a hitch, and then a protest again outside the same hotel last night, which escalated rather quickly, because people frankly are sick and tired of seeing the state authorities ignore what they ask for, ignore the things that they're voted in for, ignore the safety of their communities, ignore the well-being of their families.
People are sick of it.
And again, I don't condone this, but I do understand it.
And this is just some of the early stuff.
Keith Woods was there filming it and reporting it at the time.
City West Asylum Hub, which has a migrant who is charged with raping a 10-year-old in state care.
And we can see, first of all, we get fireworks starting to get set off.
What's the call?
What's the rape in the tent of coals?
Just look at crazy!
No!
What's the call?
Apologies for the bad language there, folks, but I think you can understand why.
And uh then, just straight away in the background there.
Here's Keith speaking to camera.
There is a flaming police van in the background.
Let's hear what Keith has to say.
I'm here at the protest at City West Hotel, where a migrant, an asylum seeker that was supposed to be deported, stayed in the country and read the ten-year-old Irish girl that was instead.
As you can see, things are massively kicking off here.
There's probably well over a thousand protesters.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first crime we've seen like this, even in the last year or two.
So things are really reaching a boiling point here.
But the thing is, like Ireland's position in all this is uh i it it they're way further down the line than we are in some respects, because it's a small place, and they're also suffering great economic strife in Ireland, so when they see all of their taxes going towards this nonsense and this detritus, and then they get repaid by doing this.
They What do you expect to happen?
What do you expect?
Yeah.
Like, honestly.
Come on.
People have pointed out as well that similarly the Irish don't have the same guilt is there, though.
They don't have the same guilt complex.
You can't prey on them and be like, well, guys, colonialism.
They're gonna go, what do one, mate?
Yeah.
No.
What are you doing?
They also don't have the same post-World War II guilt complex as well.
Because they basically sat the whole thing out.
And some people try and foist that on them as a guilt complex.
Some people uh suggest that that's one of the reasons why they should take in millions well, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, for instance.
But the Irish themselves don't actually agree.
They don't care.
They don't think that's their problem.
They do think And they've got quite a glorious tradition of resistance.
Yeah.
Blowing people up that they don't like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I think nationalism, yeah.
Well I can understand why the Irish, after having, you know, fought for their independence and all, uh, then having their same leaders turn around and say, now we open the floodgates to the third world, might go, hold up, hold up.
That wasn't the deal.
Now you're gonna get replaced.
Yeah.
That wasn't that wasn't part of the deal, actually.
Yeah, you've basically essentially defeated the English.
Now you're gonna be flooded by Africans.
Wait, but what?
Wait what?
We never agreed to that.
Thanks, Shun Fein.
Yeah.
Cheers for that.
Yeah, well done.
Yeah, so that's that's why they seem to be much more eager and much readier at a moment's notice to just organise like this, because as well, fair plays of the Irish, they are quite good at organising quickly and effectively.
Yeah, good on them.
I I've got a friend in Ireland, and he uh he's yeah, he's basically says don't be surprised by the end of the week things go even like significantly a big step up.
Well, this is that's the mood on the ground.
This was he said he he said he wouldn't be surprised if that hotel goes up.
Well, this was Tuesday.
I don't know, we've got the that's the mood on the ground.
We've got the bail hearing today.
Yeah so imagine that guy ends up on the streets.
Oh, yeah, that's what yeah, good luck to him if he does.
Yeah, if that guy gets luck to it, he's never seen the inside of a prison cell.
Nah.
It's not just the Republic of Ireland, if you remember a few months back, I think it was just before the Eppin stuff kicked off.
Alan Morris.
There was people in northern Ireland.
Alamini, weren't they?
They were northern Irish, weren't they?
Yeah, I think so.
Uh they got up in arms and started doing stuff.
Yeah.
Um, I mean.
Yeah.
And there's more footage of the police van burning uh with people saying that, you know, as well as that, uh, decades, immigrants have raped European natives, women and children, and some men as well, believe it or not.
The Irish have reached the point of no return.
We're all long overdue for that.
Politicians need to leave office and be held accountable with the police for s uh facilitating systematic paedophilia and the rape of their populations whilst protecting the rapists.
Simple statements of fact there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't really care anymore now about what uh the guardian is trying to gaslight us, or someone like I don't know, Shamichakrabati, or whoever, there's a thousand.
They're whiskey at all, all of those people their feelings are dirt.
That tweet is uh uh a list of facts.
Yeah, it's like how how how how how many times does this have to happen?
Right?
Like there's enough instances now where people can just go, yeah, I'm done with this now.
This we're good.
Like you can't prey on guilt, you can't try and virtue signal to me, and I'm not interested.
I'm all out of business.
This is a pattern.
We've recognised the pattern, we've asked for it to be stopped, you're not gonna stop.
People will just take it into their own hands, and they will stop it.
I mean, how many?
Yeah, how many is in the 10-year-old girls in care need to be raped?
Yeah, it's disgusting.
It's already been too many, thousands already, for years, for years, decades at this point.
And I would say one was too many.
Of course.
So at this point, we're well past the point of no return.
All by policy.
They all the they also, you know, to show how quickly they can organise, they had forces.
I don't know if they were planning some kind of cavalry charge.
Classical Irish, no saddle.
Yeah, got the pony.
Let's go, let's go.
This is Ireland.
Get them out.
This is Ireland.
This is Ireland.
This is our land!
Yeah, so strong imagery, strong rhetoric there.
This is our land to get the matter.
This is our land.
Of course.
And and if someone goes, whose is it then?
Who has jurisdiction over the land?
Who is it?
Is it the Irish in Ireland?
Yeah, obviously.
Same as English, same as the English in England.
It's not, it's a statement of fact.
Statement of fact.
And if you're a leftist or a globalist or something, you see and hear that and are aghast by it.
What did you expect?
Sorry.
There you go, Karen.
No, that's the point.
What did you expect was going to happen?
How many years has this been going on?
Yeah.
At what point did you like did you think that we're all just gonna roll over at a certain point?
We're all just gonna accept that that's what's you know, the things that should keep happening.
We're just gonna accept it.
Like, come on.
This is this is the taking it to its logical end point.
Anyone with with half a brain cell could see that this was going to happen.
And now you end up with what's this riot police forming a line in front of the hotel, blocking bottles being thrown at them by the protesters.
Is this what these men signed up to be in the police force for?
Well, this is the thing, because loads of bleeding heart even people on the right would be like, well, you know, the police, they shouldn't be victims of they shouldn't be there.
At certain point, the police should go, ah, you know what, actually.
This isn't right.
They act they have moral autonomy.
Right?
They know what's just as well.
They could sit this out.
They they could.
Rather than simply going, Well, we're told to do this.
No, no, stop.
Stop.
How many?
Well, again, the question is the reason that people are out there is we know for almost certainty, given that it's still alleged, that at least one rapist was in that hotel.
The question then becomes, well, besides him, if he's on bail, what happens to him?
How many more are there?
How many more?
And then do you imagine if it turns out there are two more, three more, a dozen more in that hotel.
Do you think those police officers can hold their heads high at the end of the day, and they get home and their daughter asks them, What did you do today, Daddy?
Oh, I defended a hotel full of rapists from people angry that a young girl was raped.
Is that something that you can be proud of?
Is that something that you should be proud of?
Is that something that the police should be doing?
I know that everybody wants to try to refer to some idea of uh the rule of law, fair play, guilty but uh like um innocent before proven guilty.
But at the end of the day, at a certain point, those terms became shields for corruption.
Those words became just another way to distract from what is going on and change the subject of the conversation from what everybody knows is happening.
And in history, it's very often the case that it's it's at that point when the police, or maybe even the army, Cossacks in St. Petersburg, 1917, it might be.
When they decide, oh no, wait, we agree with the protesters.
To the point where they won't they won't do their state mandated job anymore.
That's the moment.
That's when a years long awaited change.
It's an it's a type of awakening.
Yeah, it's a type of happen very quickly.
It's a type of awakening, and I've said this before, is that we're in this situation because these absolute retards and globalists have a luxury belief system.
A luxury belief system bestowed upon them by strong men that came before.
And at a certain point, it will be strong men that reclaim it back.
And you know, push it to uh a safe position again.
But I do I I I do think it has to be highlighted, sadly, the complicity of the police officers who choose to go along with this.
Because this is this is from the Irish Times.
This is a report on the 90 minutes of madness.
It was more about two and a half hours, really, that it took for the uh violence to be quelled by the police in this, because the protest started at 7:30, people had been finally dispersed by about 10 o'clock.
Or it didn't start violence immediately, but you know what I'm talking about here.
So to be able to actually put down what was going on here.
The article reports on a better trained group of Garde.
Garda, however you pronounce it, with new state of the art equipment designed for urban public order clashes, overwhelmed the protest group in a way Garda could not in Dublin City, this is talking about last year, even though they were vastly outnumbered in City West.
As the Garda ran at the crowds, some of those present shouted to each other to hold your line, but to no avail amid the stampede to get away.
Garda used larger and more powerful pepper sprays, some as big as fire extinguishers, to target the rioters.
Every time a large volume of spray was discharged, it wafted through the air, lingering and forcing a retreat in the crowd for a prolonged period.
So what they've done here, this is a new squad.
This is new equipment, new methods targeted to put you down.
Militarized.
You the concerned parent at home who doesn't want your children to be unsafe as they walk to school, who doesn't want to think that if for whatever reason there are children supposedly being safeguarded by the state, that those girls are actually more vulnerable than they once were.
This is designed to put you down.
If you are unhappy about it, if you're upset about it, then this is what they want.
This is they've specifically done this for you.
They've got fire extinguishers full of pepper spray, so they can pepper spray an entire crowd at once for being upset that foreigners are allowed to just come in, take their money, get free representation in court, and rape their children.
You always know who the state sees as the enemy.
By the ratio, the comparative ratio in sizes, proportionality of their military and their police.
If their police is huge versus their military, they view their citizens as the enemy.
Other countries, obviously.
This is a military this is a militarised police unit.
That is a militarised police unit.
Of course the people wanting their children to be safe are the enemies of those people.
One small data point when I was outside the hotel protest that was going on in Swindon a few weeks back.
Uh the police, there was a couple of police there with cameras, as they do nowadays, and they were only pointing their cameras at our side.
Of course, of course.
Making sure they get everyone.
The other side, the lefty refugees, welcome here side.
They didn't turn the cameras on them once, though I saw.
I mean, it's just one data point, but it's like it matters.
Yeah, the point you were making.
Yeah, the the fire extinguishers full of pepper spray are for concerned parents, concerned men for the well-being of their own families.
Yeah, it's for you.
Madness.
And uh obviously big shock, the Irish Times only mention very, very far down in this article.
Uh why they were protesting in the first place, and they only dedicate about a paragraph to it.
Oh, yeah, here it is.
Here it is.
So a what?
Like most of the way through the article, you get a you get one paragraph.
Oh, here's why, by the way.
African man appeared before court, charged with sexual assault on Monday of a ten-year-old Irish girl.
Anyway, what you should actually be caring about is that all of these uh divisive far right protesters were put down by our brave boys in blue.
That's what you should care about.
Here's the minute by minute breakdown of how they were able to brutalise concerned citizens.
Thank you, Irish Times.
And speaking of the institutional corruption, here's Jim O'Callaghan, the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration in Ireland, putting out this big statement of, oh, the scenes of public disorder we have witnessed at City West Tonight must be condemned.
People threw missiles at the Garda, threw fireworks at them, and set a Garda vehicle on fire.
Those involved will be brought to justice.
Six have already been arrested.
It might be more.
It won't help make it won't help uh to make anyone feel safe.
Well, you're flooding the country full of barbarians, mate.
No one feels safe as it is.
Why do you think they're up there?
Why do you think they're doing what they do?
Because they are not safe, and you're putting them in that position.
You morally bankrupt douche.
Well, this this was what are you doing?
This Mr. O'Callaghan has already made an official statement.
I don't know how well sourced this would be or well supported, saying that there's no correlation.
Of course, no.
No correlation between the levels of crime in an area and whether or not it's got a load of migrants dropped in there.
No correlation.
I'd like to see the statistics that he was looking at to um make that judgment.
But I doubt it.
I doubt it.
And this is again another warning from the elites in charge saying don't do anything.
Don't notice, don't do anything.
The system, which seems to apparently, according to the Sinn Fen leader, repeatedly put young girls in more danger than they otherwise might be.
The system works.
The system works.
And again, the major response that you see from people here is uh you and McCabe here just saying, Fuck you.
We told you this would happen again and again.
We've had enough.
You and your kind are responsible.
And not only remove you from power, but severely punish you too.
And I think that's one of the things that these people are worried about, and why it is that they are starting to really zig their heels in, which is that they know that if they're ever out of power, that um people aren't going to treat them kindly.
People are going people aren't going to try and treat those who protected the people victimizing their children kindly.
Nor should you expect them to.
And again, I would never encourage anything like this.
Uh, but all I can say is that um, of course we're getting to this point.
This was always going to happen with things staying the way that they've been for 20, 30 plus years right now.
Ireland got it very suddenly and very quickly, and the Irish weren't ever going to be happy about that.
So we'll see how the situation develops.
I've never heard of this, Mr. McCabe.
I like the cut of his jib.
That's a solid tweet.
Again, just uh a s uh uh a just facts, just a number of factual statements there.
And uh yeah, uh we've had enough.
We've had enough.
Why it's embarrassing it's got anywhere near this far in the first place, actually.
Why would anybody accept this?
How could anybody accept this?
But with that, we'll see how the situation develops.
I'll go to the super chats and rumble rants, engage for you and Bose Britain, these predators and criminals will be fed posted, then severely fed posted with a sharp Fed post, then deported by Fed posting.
Thank you.
Uh that's a random name.
Are we going to get more Fed posting, I wonder?
Bo's hundred percent right.
Similar circumstances led to what eventually became the French Revolution.
Boogeloos happened gradually, and then suddenly, and then uh I'll carry on.
It's like an elastic band.
Suddenly it fails, boom.
There's a revolution.
It's uh people realise like this is the moment.
Oh, the thing we've been moaning about and talking about for years and years and years.
Sigil Stone, yes, Harry, this is what they signed up for, enforcing the power of the state, what that enforcement means, be damned.
Apparently, all Britain needed to do to hold on to Ireland was I don't uh these people, when they were voting for the people that they voted for, this was not what why they were voting.
There will always be a state.
You want that state to be on your side.
The Irish sadly thought that they would be.
And I mean, given the circumstances, why wouldn't they?
Why wouldn't they assume that the state was going to be on their side after they'd you know been fighting against the English for so long?
And then they just immediately turn around and betray them.
Yeah, Shim Fein.
You would think, you would hope, you would have thought, you know, ourselves alone that finally Shin Fein will stick up for Irish interests to the hilt.
Oh, no.
They were sort of Marxists or something, globalists all along.
Right.
Yeah.
Good job.
Nevermore.
The hotel was purchased by the government for about 250 million dollars, so it's a permanent facility with different wings for nationalities.
PS, the Irish PM, is pronounced Tayshark.
Uh T Shock.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for helping that uh me with that.
Uh Sigil Stone as well said thank you for blowing out my eardrums with that video.
I didn't need to hear today anyway.
Salisbury.
Apologies.
Uh Gimli O'Gloin says, I'm afraid what we're seeing in Ireland is just a taste of what's to come in other places like England or Germany.
Really hope I'm wrong though.
What are you saying that in England though?
That's the thing, right?
Like I mean, that that was what uh Epping uh didn't get violent or anything.
The sea the seal's broken.
Yeah.
You can't put the the lid back on, right?
Like Pandora's box is open now, it's done.
As I've said this many times when me and Bo have spoken, is that I think it was last year with uh Southport that that that was it.
That broke the seal, and ever since then it's been a snowballing effect.
You know, more and more people are waking up, no one's no one's being subdued, more or more people are waking up.
Stereotypes as I've just been informed one of the migrants deported to France via the one in one out scheme has returned to the UK by small boat.
What a joke of a government.
Uh I would need to verify that, but would not be shocked if that's true.
Thank you for letting us know.
I'll look into that.
Judoscope barbecue, as the English poet John Dryden said, beware the wrath of the patient man, you can only take so much.
Luke Stewart, I'm amazed the Irish aren't doing what they were doing to Britain to their politicians.
Means we don't have any rocket cars.
Anyone got any bets whether we're gonna have politicians going to space?
And finally, Luke Stewart.
YouTube wouldn't let me say Pakistanis, even if we have enough evidence of what's going on.
If this continues, I worry what's gonna happen.
Alright, and with that, shall we go into your segment, Bo?
Okay, okay, so a little bit of light relief compared to the last two segments.
Um let's see what we've got.
Oh, right.
A smug looking Frenchman.
Um the French crown jewels have been stolen, or at least some of them.
Have you seen this?
Yes.
Have you heard about this?
I heard a woman was put in charge of protecting them.
Oh, there is that angle.
I wasn't actually going to talk about that, but but yeah, no, yeah, the head of security at the Louvre.
So a big heist went down.
When a robbery or a burglary turns into a heist, I don't know, but heist is infinitely cooler, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
A robber, you you don't want to be a robber, you want to be you want to be the good man behind the heist common as muck burglar.
Yeah.
No, mate.
I'm not heist, I'm not a cat burglar.
I um I I do heists.
Um I'm a professional.
Say yes.
Maybe they left a note.
This this heist.
Do you please refer to this as a heist in in when you when you write?
This was the heist, not a burglary.
I mean, it's it's like robber burglar cat burglar, because at least a cat burglar suggests they leave a calling card.
You know, you've been hit hit by I don't know, Le Fromage or something.
It's like being an assassin is infinitely cooler than being just a murderer.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Anyway, I suppose getting paid for it.
Um yeah, there's a big heist in the middle of Paris in broad daylight on Sunday morning, and uh the French crown jewels for what they're worth.
Uh many of the pieces were stolen.
Um so I didn't actually see about this until like what two days later.
It wasn't sort of plastered all over the news.
Yeah, what as I'll show there is plenty if you go looking for it, but it wasn't sort of like headline news, even though it is a massive deal, really.
I think.
It was crazy, isn't it?
What is prioritized by the media now?
You know, like things which are largely you know, things that would which will go down as uh this will go down in history, right?
Like a hundred years from now, people will be like, Do you remember when the uh French crown jewels were stolen?
But it's not prioritised by the media, like culturally relevant things, historically culturally relevant things are just not prioritised.
Yeah, very weird.
It's it's a slap in the face to the French, so we'll just ignore it.
Mainstream media, we'll just ignore it.
Yeah.
No, super important.
Yeah.
Uh history before our very eyes.
Um whoever did it probably weren't very ethical or virtuous individuals.
Speaking of which, Stelios has got a uh what?
Seamless.
I think that was quite smooth.
Um Stelios has got a uh a series of lectures he's done, which uh if you're interested, you can go on to the Lopesetis website and buy that.
Um he is a PhD uh in philosophy and from Athens, so a real life Athenian philosopher.
He's done, I think a nine part uh lecture series of of courses on that.
So if you're interested in that, it is it's far better than just your average like YouTube video that you'll get for free.
Like it's it's honestly like um probably better than most university courses you could take as well.
It's explicitly that because at undergrad at university you will get a certain angle almost almost certainly, whereas with our Stelios, you just get the the sort of unvarnished, uncut real deal.
So if you're interested in that, do consider heading over to the website.
Okay, so I'm interested in heists.
Who isn't?
The way I'm interested in espionage or interested in uh uh special forces raids, all that sort of thing.
I'm fascinated by it.
Um so when there's ever a new one, I always want to know the details.
So I thought I could just talk about a few of them real quick before we talk about what went down in Paris at the Louvre.
He's rocking an eyebrow a bit like yours, mate.
This is where you got it from.
There's there's uh there's Thomas Blood from the 17th century, Dwayne the Rock Johnson and me.
That's the lineage.
Yeah.
Genealogy of the eyebrow.
The people's eyebrow.
So there were again in the uh in the in the 17th century, in sixteen seventy-one, chap called Thomas Blood tried to, or did briefly, uh steal some of the crown jewels, the English crown jewels.
Um Irishman actually, and uh he was re there was very quickly, very very quickly apprehended.
One that they they stole a sceptre, an orb and a crown, one of the many crowns in the in the British Crown jewels.
He actually crushed it a bit to get it under his cloak.
But anyway, um he insisted that he wouldn't sort of answer any questions or anything until we could speak to the king himself.
King Charles.
And when he got an and he was given an audience with King Charles and uh impressed him so much that King Charles pardoned him and gave him money.
Gave his gave him his estates back and gave him a pension of like 500 pounds a year, which is quite a lot.
To be a fly on the wall, how did he manage that?
No one's quite sure.
We historians just think that he must have been extremely charismatic and funny.
People said he made Charles laugh.
So Irish arm, clearly.
Yeah, it's like a charming rogue.
Again, there's some crimes that are so audacious that you're sort of like, oh well, well done, actually, if anything.
I I respect the brass balls of you.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I like I like your Moxie kid, you know.
So anyway, yeah, Thomas Blood, interesting.
Uh one the other th the Great Train Robbery, that's a classic one.
If you like robbery stories, heist stories, you can't go far wrong with the Great Train Robbery.
Well, back in 1963, it was the biggest thing at the time, 3.6 million quid they got away with, which in today's terms is sort of more like sixty-two million pounds.
And um, so yeah, that's like a classic staple if you're interested in heists and robberies and things.
Uh what's that one?
That's the Brinks Matt robbery in 1983.
Again, bit of a classic.
I can only hit some of the highlights here.
You're gonna have to give us your top five.
Okay.
Well, I think I've only got five or six or seven here, so you go I'll assume 'cause when you actually look at all the sort of interesting and great heists, there's actually loads of them, right, throughout history.
Loads and loads.
But uh most of these are are British ones.
Um yeah, Brinks Matt, they got away with 26 million quid and in 1983, so nowadays that's something like 290 million.
Are all these ones where like there was no injuries, nobody was murdered as a result of it?
Was it just usually someone gets hurt, not always, but usually someone has to be a bit battered.
Well, at least.
I mean, a bit battered is is not as bad as actually killing somebody for it, right?
Right.
I mean, these things are usually relatively bloodless, because the whole point is that you're supposed to be quick, you're supposed to get away with it.
Yeah.
And even if you do get caught, you go down for robbery, not murder.
Yeah.
Usually, usually armed robbers are not murderers.
It's it's a whole different thing, right?
Usually, not always, but the Brinks Matt, classic one.
I'll let people look into the details for themselves.
Uh the Knightsbridge depot robbery in 1987.
They got away with 98 million pounds.
Sorry, that was what it was worth back then.
I don't even have the figures for what it was worth nowadays.
This is like the aftermath of it.
A lot.
And this one was just cash.
Cash.
Um unmarked.
Yeah, yeah.
Non-consecutive unmarked cash.
Can't go far wrong.
Uh no, another thing say is that quite they usually don't get away with it.
Most of the time, big robberies.
You you eventually, even if it takes 20 years or something, eventually everyone gets caught.
Very, very rare that you get away with it forever, and the the bullion, the cash, the gems, never turn up ever again.
It's very, very, very rare.
Apart from anything else, unless it's a one-man job, which is almost never the case.
Uh robbers will almost always turn on each other.
It's like we're gonna try and rob this place.
We're hoping to get a few hundred grand, maybe a million quid or whatever.
Oh, we've got like 90 million quid suddenly in fighting over who gets that, killing each other.
Classic thing in um Goodfellas, right?
When uh Jimmy the Gent just starts whacking everyone else that was supposed to get a cut of the Lufton's the Heights.
That players out.
That nearly always ends up playing out, some version of that.
Um oh the Millennium Dome Diamond Heist.
This was in the year 2000.
I remember this very clearly.
I was already like 18 or 19 years old at this point.
This was a classic one.
Looking to the details of this.
This is really like something from a movie.
They had a speedboat, they had a JCB digger, they had Myers.
It was brilliant.
They all got caught immediately.
They never even left the premises of the Millennium Dome.
Yeah, it was really like something out of a movie.
Well planned.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um there's the JCB, they're smashing into the old Millennium Dome.
The thing is the police had them under surveillance and knew exactly what they were doing.
I was gonna say imagine going through all this planning.
You get a JCB, you get a speed boat, you think, oh my god, we we're not only we're gonna get away with this, we're gonna be so slick.
They turn up and the police are just immediately caught.
Immediately the guy even like bought or rented the speedboat under the name like Mr. Diamond or something.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was r everything about it is like a movie.
They thought they were movie gang uh movie heist masters.
The thing is, right, in most heist movies, they all either die or get caught anyway.
Yeah.
So like don't try and be like the heist movies.
Like even going back to like the killings, Kubrick in 1950, like embarrassing get killed and caught.
Reservoir dogs, famously, they all die.
He famously, they all get caught or die.
Don't do it.
In real life, you nearly always get caught, nearly always.
Um yeah, so a little bit of advice to any kiddies out there.
Don't do it.
Don't don't do it.
Crime doesn't pay.
Try and make a legit living if you can, you know.
Um yeah, the police even removed the real diamonds.
If you're a real professional thief, consider a banking career.
The police had had them under surveillance for so long, knew exactly what they were going to do, down to the minute, uh, that they even removed the real diamonds, because in the Millennium Dome at the time it was this giant diamond exhibition, and they'd removed the diamonds for fake diamonds.
So even if somehow they'd got away with it, they just would have had a load of fake cut crystal or whatever.
Brilliant.
Um, but they got in there and they smashed it, smashed it up and got in there, and uh, but it was it wasn't like the I think the uh the world's biggest diamond was there.
Oh, in fact, there it is, right in the middle, you can just about see it.
It's a that's a fake one.
So the uh after what have I got after the Millennium Dome?
It's the one with Lightning Lee Murray.
Oh, yeah, the Securites depot robbery in 2006.
Now they did get away with it for a while.
They got tons of money, 53 million quid they got away with.
Uh again, for a while.
Eventually they were nearly all caught or or all caught.
Uh, but like again, this is uh there's real guys there with guns.
In this one, someone got bashed up a bit, like not killed, but a couple of people I think they to show them they meant business.
Uh they like sort of bashed them a bit.
And uh, yeah, like a the proper it it is like always like something out of the movie.
That's why I'm interested, like a special forces raid or something, it's fascinating.
Uh massive shotgun there.
Yeah, I mean it's all an officer out.
People want a bit of range these days.
I don't know what he's doing there with it.
I mean, it's always about intimidation, isn't it?
Yeah.
Guy behind this one, the mastermind.
Was a UFC guy?
Lightly and Lee Murray of UFC fame.
He ended up he decided to be a a robber.
Yeah.
He's the only man that Dana White has said he's be he was scared of.
Dana White's used to being around crazy wild men.
Yeah.
And he said Lightning Lee Murray is one of the only men where in his presence he's scared.
That's what how much of a psycho he was.
Or is I mean he's in prison at the moment, I believe.
There he is with uh Vandalay Silver.
Sorry, Anderson Silver.
Lightning Lee Murray and Anderson Silver there.
Um yeah, the next one I got the oh Hat and Garden Burglary in 2015.
You chaps must remember this one.
Do you remember this one?
No.
How gardens in London?
Isn't Locke's talking to you smoking barrels about heist, isn't it?
Yeah.
Or everyone dies in that one too, almost.
Basically, yeah.
And if you do get away with it, you all turn on each other.
If you remember uh also, like if you get away with like tens of millions of pounds, you split it.
Let's say you split it evenly, you get like an a tidy 20 million pounds.
Tidy.
Like what then?
Yeah.
How do you spend it without immediately coming up a cropper of the tax man going like where'd that come from?
Yeah.
How have you just bought loads of fur coats and brand new cars?
Yeah.
And that's assuming you get like uh just clean cash.
Yeah.
What if you've got actually like bars of bullion?
Well, I mean you need someone then that can melt that down for you and do all sorts of things.
Or you've got diamonds, like famous gemstones that are famous.
What do you do with that?
And then you've got to have the the people doing all that for you, if you're melting it down or go into uh to a fence, you've got to trust them too.
Suddenly there's not like four or five guys involved, there's dozens.
Suddenly broad.
That's why they nearly more and more, and the risk increases more and more and more.
That's why they nearly never get away with it.
Yeah.
I mean, don't you remember Hatton Gardens?
They drilled through concrete wall.
I'm I mean, look at that.
That is that is cool.
I mean, I'm not endorsing theft.
That is cool, though.
But uh I feel like I should remember this, but I was probably I'd play video games at the time.
That is kind of awesome.
I mean terrible, yeah.
Sorry, yeah.
Awesome stroke terrible.
Um well, the big one, the biggest one ever, was the uh central bank of Iraq in 2003, just before Saddam was deposed by George W and Tony Blair.
He went to his own central bank, sent one of his sons, go basically get all the cash again, cash, get it all out of there to the tune of 920 odd million dollars, maybe a billion dollars.
Some people even say it was more, maybe it was 2.5 billion dollars, whatever it was, an insane amount of cash that Saddam stole essentially from his own bank.
The vast amount of which has never turned up.
Um that's not actually uh uh it from that, but anyway, you get the idea.
Loads of bullion went missing after the invasion as well in Iraq, loads.
It was stripped three ways from Sunday.
They got some of the cash back, but the vast majority of it disappeared, disappeared in Caesar.
So those guys, some of those guys anyway, uh did get away with it.
Uh oh, yeah, quickly to say in 1911, this chap, Vincenzo Perugia, stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre.
He worked there and he just hid in a cupboard at night until it was all closed up, come out, took the Mona Lisa out of its frame, high tailed it back to Italy.
His motivation was that he thought that Mona Lisa, obviously, because it's done by Leonardo da Vinci should really be in Italy.
Should really be in the Eufritzi in Florence, if any crime of nationalist passion.
Well, yeah, actually, yeah, yeah.
Without joking.
Or he sat on it for a couple of years, he just kept it in his apartment for a couple of years, then took it to Italy, and at which point he told people about it.
Let's look what I've done.
I'm the guy.
Uh let's put it up in the Euphritsi, and they're like, No, we're dubbing you into the French cops.
Thank you very much.
And well, it still resides in the Louvre to this day.
Alright, so let's talk about enough of all that.
Enough of that.
Let's talk about what happened in Paris Sunday morning about 9 30am, Sunday morning.
Uh so in broad daylight, the the museum was open by that point.
Very little French people around, though, because Yeah, it's too early.
Notoriously, yeah.
Early for the French.
Not the uh earliest risers.
Um so they stole, we'll get into the exact details of what they did.
They stole um they stole a number of the crown jewels.
Now the French crown jewels are nothing like the British crown jewels.
The British crown jewels are truly something to behold.
There's a lot of them.
We've got many, many crowns.
There's not just the one coronation crown, there's loads and loads of crowns.
Look, more than one sceptre, more than one orb.
That There's a great deal.
If you go to the Tower of London, the Tower of London at Tower Hill, you can go, you have to pay actually quite a lot to get into Tower of London, but you can go there and see them all.
It's all on display, basically.
The French, the French version is nowhere near as good because during the French Revolution, er, yeah, the the revolutionists did away with nearly all of it.
So when Napoleon the First, Leon Paura, when he became the monarch, he sort of started a new collection.
So the French uh crown jewels are not like truly medieval stuff.
Nonetheless, they're still remarkable pieces.
A lot of them are actually from the mid-19th century, when Napoleon the Third, who was the Napoleon the First's nephew, uh a lot of them were sort of made in like more like the 1850s.
Still nonetheless absolutely well, truly sort of priceless objects, you know, covered in diamonds and uh pearls and rubies and emeralds and all that sort of thing, and the provenance of it, i.e., it was actually worn by an empress or whatever, means that they're they're they're almost well, they're sort of priceless, arguably.
I mean, there is a price tag on them, as one of the things people have argued about.
It was was what was stolen worth seventy million pounds?
Was it worth 90 million pounds?
Is it true that are these like truly unique priceless objects?
In fact, well, anyway, you can argue about that.
I think the historical relevance of it is, yeah.
Yeah, it must be.
So what these guys did they they got this ladder, this big ladder, and they drove it up along the sort of outside of the Louvre, uh on the Seine, there's a river Seine at the bottom of that picture.
Um, and uh when you go and visit the Louvre, you go into that middle courtyard where there's the pyramid there.
That's where you go in.
I've been to Paris a number of times, been inside the Louvre two or three times and I've been to Louvre once when I was a kid, I remember.
And I remember that pyramid.
Yeah, yeah, that's where you go in, you go in and down, and that's where you buy your ticket and go in.
Now, as you can see, that whole thing is the the was once a palace or palace complex, really, and the Louvre is like it's like the National Portrait, the National Gallery and the British Museum, all rolled into one.
Much much more you can ever see in one day.
Um so they didn't go in the front door, they went round the side, effectively, and um they got this uh this digger thing, look, truck mounted ladder.
So it's definitely all uh of course it's all as a professional job, they've thought about this and premeditated.
Of course, of course it is.
There it is, there's the cops now looking at this.
So they got this ladder up to the first floor balcony, which is still relatively high, right?
It's not like one, it's actually the equivalent of like two stories in normal towns.
Yeah, because the ceilings were super high of so 9 30am, broad daylight, four guys, some of first accounts said it was three, but it looks like that was four guys, clamber up this ladder to this balcony, and inside inside that door, that window, is the Apollo gallery, which is where the crown these French crown jewels, 19th century crown jewels were housed.
I've been in that room myself a couple of times.
Um wonderful.
You managed to just pocket something.
Well, they're covered in uh what you would think would be like bulletproof, smash-proof cases, but seems not to have been the case.
Where's your ambition?
There's this thing that people think that like it's in movies that art galleries and museums are like these super tight things where there'll be like there's lasers, yeah.
You're descending from the ceiling on a wire, and then you've got to dodge all the ladies.
All propaganda guys to stop you from doing it.
And if you do something, they'll just be like shutters that just go come down and you it's not like that at all.
The British Museum, the National Gallery, the Louvre, it's nothing like that.
These are old buildings.
The buildings themselves are a couple of hundred years old, and they're not fitted with that sort of thing.
It's just that's just all movie nonsense.
Well, not that you know.
Well, as far as I'm aware, yeah.
Oh, as far as I'm aware.
Well, uh Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got me there, Nate.
So this is this is like the Apollo the Apollo Gallery.
I mean, in and of itself, the space is incredible, isn't it?
Um so this is some of the items that they stole.
Uh one of the uh very very uh unique tiara there, one of the crowns.
Apparently on their way out, they dropped one.
Different accounts are saying different things.
Some say they were in and out in four minutes flat.
Other accounts are saying no it's more like seven minutes.
One thing I saw said there was actually nine minutes.
Uh But they're in like these cases, as you can see a mock up there with like see-through glass.
And you would think, again, it would be like bulletproof or whatever, but whatever it was, it wasn't strong enough.
Again, we haven't really got the details of whether they had power drills or whether it was just crowbars or whatever.
It seems like quite quickly, within a small number of minutes, smashed that open, grabbed what they could, went out the way they came.
Just went out the way they came.
Oh yeah, the Empress Eugenie, who was uh Napoleon the third's wife.
There she is wearing that tiara.
Um yeah, they come went back out the way they came, clambered down the the that ladder again.
They had waiting Yamaha scooters, boom, off into the Parisian day.
No one's seen hide nor hair of them since.
As of recording this, these guys are still at large.
Oh, I think I thought they'd already been caught.
No, no, no.
At the minute, they've gotten away with it.
How many days ago was it now?
It was Sunday morning.
Sunday morning.
And we're now on Wednesday afternoon.
Oh, there's plenty of time.
Well, the first few hours, like a lot of crimes, the first few hours are the critical hours.
If you can get away in uh uh if this amount of time has passed, that it's start the odds are sort of in their favour.
Having said that, as we said, as I said earlier in this segment, this sort of thing very rarely get away with it.
It might be 20 years down the line, but that I I suspect they won't get away with it.
Well, this is also some of the most famous jewellery in the world.
So how do you begin to move that?
That's the thing.
Do they sit on it?
For years and years and years, wait for the heat to die down and then maybe try and put some feelers out.
Even then they're gonna be on high alert for these things forever.
I think their fear is that they're gonna break it down into its constituent parts, basically.
That's the worry, only a couple of different scenarios could play out.
One, you've already got some sort of crazy billionaire buyer, some sort of mastermind, James Bond villain mastermind, who says, just steal these pieces, and I'm gonna keep them for my private collection.
We're not gonna tell anyone about it ever, and it'll be the perfect crime.
We will get away with it.
That's again movie stuff, that sort of thing hardly ever happens.
There's one or two examples of something like that going down, um, but that sort of hardly ever happens.
Or you've just got uh you'll sell them to uh uh other fences, and uh who knows where they go, or you break them down you know, you take the individual pearls and diamonds off of these things and sell them all individually.
So so what you're suggesting is there's a non-zero chance that Elon Musk had these stolen to give to his e-girl wife baby mamas.
Can we account for Mr. Musk's uh uh whereabouts at 9 30am French time Sunday morning?
If not he's clearly he's courting more e-girls with the jewels.
Well, it wasn't people, it was Tesla bots.
Oh my god.
It's less likely to be Elon and much more likely to be Jules Soros or something, isn't it?
He's gonna be dead soon.
Yeah, is he still going?
He is.
It is like late 90s at this point, it's ridiculous.
So as you say, these are the individual items are famous.
How do you move them?
How do you move them?
I wrote a short story once where it was someone stealing like an individual like piece of uh priceless art, and it was so that he could just keep it in his home forever and never tell anyone about it, never let anyone else in that room.
Uh because that's the only way you get away with it.
A one-man job, yeah, and you it's just for you.
Now it's in my attic.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the only way you can really get away with it, ultimately.
I suspect these these guys, one way or another, will get caught.
They nearly always do.
Uh, but so it's all over the news.
There's a sort of endless articles here.
Uh that yeah, here saying it's a four-minute operation.
Uh we just got tons of headlights, how headlines, how brazen it was.
It was very, very brazen as well, right?
You've got to have uh you've got to have some Chajonis to even attempt it, right?
To even attempt it.
That's why I think you know, it's sort of the uh the you've got to give it to these guys, they got they've got balls, if nothing else.
Um but there's also like the worry of sort of the breakdown of civilization in some way, because any sort of patriotic good Frenchman wouldn't dream of doing this.
It's his heritage, isn't it?
Yeah, it's his history and heritage.
Um the French have had a bit of disrespect to their history and heritage in the past.
You're saying this is like an arch leftist republican who hates monarchy Probably probably not, but there's an again non-zero chance.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where where was Macron that morning?
Can we account for his whereabouts?
Um okay.
So there's just lots and lots of lots and lots of uh headlines, but my time has run out.
But uh yeah, I mean, just to say, even though I've been sort of um putting a rose tint on heists in general, obviously stealing things at all is is despicable.
And just to make it clear, I absolutely hope these guys get caught.
Yeah.
I really, really hope they haven't broken down these priceless artifacts.
Um I feel sorry for French people that uh value these items as part of their history and heritage.
Uh absolutely have sympathy for them.
If this happened to our crown jewels in the Tower of London, I'd be sickened to my core.
I'd be outraged, right?
So it's only a little bit less, I feel like that for the French here.
I really hope these guys do get caught and all these items are returned to their rightful place in the Louvre where everyone can go and see them.
Alright, and with that, we'll go through the last of the um rumble rants and super chats.
Engage few, crime doesn't pay, tell that to Congress.
Oh good point.
International banker or politician.
There's your thieving career sorted.
That's a random name.
Carl video Carl's video highlights the women in charge, changed the display cases to be more modern.
The old ones were made so that if the glass was somehow broken, the jewels would fall into safes.
Genius change, if that's true.
Sigil Stone, you know, Frenchmen did it because they left behind the huge diamond that's famously cursed immigrant would have shown no such caution.
If that's true, uh perhaps.
Sigil Stone again in Bose Britain, no vault, safe or lockbox will be protected from his highness reenacting his favourite heist movies.
I do think just on the point of whether it was Frenchmen or foreigners.
I do think the those those blast points are too accurate for sand people.
Yeah, I agree.
You know, only Imperial Stormtroopers uh so precise.
There was a display update recently where they changed the cases.
Carl did a YouTube video on it.
Uh yeah, it sounds like he has.
We'll have to check it out.
Miss that one.
Rednought Logan, I know the way uh I know a way the French can s can some f crown jewels, uh, can get some crown jewels.
Let England rightfully take the throne back.
Also did the Guardians uh did the guards hear German before they ran away.
Sir Squatch, uh what for what I've seen from the traitorous Celts, this is more related to mine, is that the Irish have been immigrants in the past, so now they owe it to the world to take infinite migrants.
Yeah, there's only like nobody nobody cares about that logic anymore.
It's bullshit.
It's it's it's deceptive, it's a lie, so no.
Anyway, we've got video comments, so let's watch.
Ahem.
Shhh.
Now here's a short video from my balcony here in beautiful Lake Placid New York.
Probably nice view.
Yeah.
Yes.
Fall is upon us.
Likewise, yeah.
It's a classic New England fall.
Yeah, very nice.
Hey, he's back here.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Standing here in the Olympic Centre in Lake Placid, New York.
In the distance there, you can see the ski jump.
Lake Placid hosted the 1932 and the 1980.
Winter Olympic Games.
I'm here for a convention.
Nice.
Nice, looks lovely.
New York State looks lovely.
Uh Manhattan.
Zorad Mandani's Manhattan, if it looks like the polls are gonna play out.
Less so, but the state looks lovely.
We're doing a thing on um on uh HP Lovecraft soon.
And nearly all his stories, or the vast majority of his stories are all set in New England.
And of course, he makes it sound all scary.
But actually, New England's absolutely beautiful region of the world.
But it was it was back then.
Well, also too many foreigners.
Just just the parts that aren't completely filled with upper class wasps like himself.
Terrifying.
Primordial, unknowable celestial horrors.
But Providence, Rhode Island.
Lovely.
According to Lovecraft, it is filled with sort of uh inbred people.
Is it talking about the inbred locals all the time?
He was quite an equal opportunity elitist.
It was absolutely an elitist.
Again, if you weren't a well-bred wasp like himself, he dis had nothing but contempt for you.
Sigma Sigma Spider.
Climbed up in the Skibbity spout.
And that spider is you, Top Sigma James.
Yes, it is.
This is Nigel Farage wishing you a big chungus.
Congratulations for being the top G Skibbity Alpha Male.
We all promise to hawk tour on your busy as it climbs.
Is sponsored by Sam, Matthew, Tim, and Mo Lester.
Guys, you sound like a great group.
Mo Lester.
Tell me that's AI.
Tell me that's real.
Mo Lester.
I think his cameo is I'm pretty certain his cameo is still open, you know.
So if you want to get him to say something like that, Bo, you can always put a reform donation in.
Mo less the Mo Lester.
You know, I thought I remembering up the cringe there, but it's also funny.
It's actually funny.
I forgot.
I forgot that it it wasn't just him saying, you know, skibbity spider up the skibbity spout and whatever.
I forgot that he says hawk tour on your bus.
I mentioned this to you the other day.
This guy's supposed to be the Prime Minister in waiting.
He's supposed to be statesmanlike.
He's supposed to have gravitat.
Not only that, according to the media, he's supposed to be he's supposed to be Mussolini, Hitler, and Oswald Mosley put together.
Talking about Mo Lesters.
When in fact he's just an internet grifter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh again, if his cameo is still open, see if you can see if you can uh pay for him to uh the lotuses.
Yeah.
Shout out Lotus Ethers and apologize to Bo.
Yeah, and Dan.
And Dan through Cameo.
Yeah.
He might reject that one.
But anyway, he wouldn't do that, would he?
I have no mouth and I must scream as an interesting short story, but I find it rather limited and poorly conceived.
In his collected works, other better tales to be found, such as Repent Harlequin, said the TikTok man, describing the importance of being a free spirit in a world of rigid rules.
The discarded describing people's need for compassion and belonging and their credulity when dealing with dishonest people.
And my favourite, the crackpots, about a world of insane people monitored by overseers who do not realise that the insane are actually highly intelligent.
Ah like I like uh I have no math behind my screen.
You've mentioned it before.
I need to actually read some Arlan Ellison.
I also I also maybe want to get Luca to cover some of George R. R. Martin's short stories.
Yes.
For for Chronicles, like some of the some of the fame more famous ones.
Are you not a fan of his?
I just think he's a pudgy loser now.
What now, yeah.
What uh line he's spat in the face of everyone that likes him.
He was a very accomplished fantasy sci-fi short story writer.
Wow.
And he wrote endings for them as well.
Well, yeah, but you know, I want Lucas.
Still got some good works under his belt.
Yeah, no, fair.
I want Luca to do the old man and the sea.
Not familiar.
Hemingway, and it's Hemiway.
Oh no, I've not read Hemingway.
Yeah, I need I need an excuse to read Poe.
Good thing with what Luca does is there's an endless well of things.
All of literature, yeah.
Ever.
Yeah, anyway.
Halo Teachers, I'm in Plackpool, and local reform UK candidate Mark Butcher has done a fantastic job in raising it, of course.
You can see the tower there.
And the England flags.
All the way and down all the way to the pleasure beach.
They're the flag.
That was a big on top of the tower itself.
Yeah, I mean, that is a very English player.
Right, Chabby Brown.
Is he still about?
Apparently.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've not been Blackpool in like ten years.
I need to take a visit.
He's Never been.
Is it is it as dingy as I remember.
I've been there once, probably ten years ago, and it was re relatively dingy.
Blackpool's one of those towns where I remember the waterfronts alright, but if you go one road past the waterfront into town.
Crack alley.
Less so.
But I might be misremembering.
So and I want to take a visit anyway, because my missus keeps nagging me.
I say dingy.
It wasn't that dingy, and it was quite fun.
Yeah, yeah.
So I don't I don't want to just dunk on black things for no reason.
I've got a great many good memories as a child of uh riding the donkeys on the beach.
Yeah.
When I was a lot littler and wouldn't crush me one of the um one of the major uh victims of mass immigration, uh donkey sanctuaries.
I looked into this.
Really?
Really?
Yeah, I looked into it the other day.
I was really sad, sad to see, actually, like a lot of the dog no one's going to them anymore.
So the donkey sanctuaries, yeah.
So if you're watching in your England, go to some donkey sanctuaries and support them because they're well worth supporting.
If you've got kids, kids love donkeys too.
Yeah, but they're well worth supporting.
I went to a local farm recently with my family that had, you know, loads of animals on it and that had donkeys on it.
And my daughter loved them.
She thought they were lovely.
It's all those cultural things that we used to do out, you know, and all the time.
Now, mass immigration has sort of phased all of that out.
It's become uh you know uh not a cultural norm, and you need to rekindle it a little bit.
Well said.
What have we got here?
On Saturday the eleventh, I visited London with friends, and we stopped off in Whitechapel.
The station was full of foreigners.
An advert for the Islamic Foundation on the Town Star Doors, the station name written in some wiggly script, and outside in the street within view of the skyline of Canary Wharf, a market made up of foreign men peddling normal wares.
Only the pub we went to, the blind beggar, felt English, with white people being the majority.
It was like stepping into another world, seriously.
And on a positive note, we've got to see the actual bullet hole where Ronnie Cray shot George Connell on 9th of March 1966, which they framed alongside the original warper.
Love it.
Nice.
Also, just to clarify, that was not Alex Ogle, that was then Scotty.
Right.
In the video Yeah, I uh the w Whitechapel is the belly of the beast.
Around Bow Road, Whitechapel, all that all that area is is the worst of the worst.
I've been in the Blind Beggar loads of times in my life.
Uh yeah, it's where the craze Yeah, it's all round mile end, that's their manor.
Uh so yeah, I've been I've been in the Blind Peggar at least half a dozen times.
Yeah, it's all and it is exactly as you said, it is like a little oasis of sort of old school East End.
I think you're surrounded by an ocean of uh of uh Muslims.
Yeah.
Most pubs tend to be an oasis of Englishness because pubs are English, so that's where they Muslims don't drink, yeah.
They want to turn them into Islamic bookshops or mosques as quickly as they possibly can.
Uh let's give it two minutes till twenty-two and read a couple of um comments on here.
Uh Jimbo, the gambit of deliberately importing foreign men on the mass, then blaming all men for their transgressions will go down as one of the most toxic abusive uses of political power in this country.
Unfortunately for Jess, who has made a career out of labelling and demonizing her dissenters, she can't speak the truth because of a culture she helped cultivate.
Apparently, this means we all have to be trapped in her mental prison.
Yeah.
Uh well put, don't know if there's much else to say there.
Kevin Fox, if the garder had a half-decent commander, he'd have turned them around and marched into the hotel and used the shields and baton to clear everyone from the hotel and into vans to the airport.
The police should be the vaccine for the rape epidemic.
Instead, they are protecting the disease.
As I said, at the end of their work day, can they go home?
Daughter asks them, Daddy, what did you t do today?
Can they proudly hold their head up and say they did good, that they serve justice?
No.
No, clearly, clearly not.
Henry Ashman.
The most depressing part of this heist is the crown jewels, would be very difficult to fence as is.
So unless this is an insurance scam, they'll most likely have been destroyed and melted down or recut, so these priceless historical artifacts are likely destroyed and lost forever.
To me, this is on a par with ISIS blowing up ancient archaeological sites for heresy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If that if the speculation there is true, and I think there's a good case, you know, that is heartbreaking.
One thing I absolutely agree with that.
100% agree with that.
One thing I will just reiterate is that these are largely from the mid-nineteenth century.
Not sort of truly medieval or ancient.
But nonetheless, it's only a small thing.
But still though, one cultural artifacts.
Of course.
Absolutely.
Of course.
I mean, uh I mean Napoleon and everything that he birthed afterwards is enough of a a cultural touchstone in history.
Such a such an incredible timer, such an incredible figure to make it relevant all by itself.
If you want to know uh who did away with the truly the real French uh crown jewels.
Was it a bunch of dysgenic, angry freaks?
Le leftists.
Yeah.
Love it.
The left.
Who love culture so much.
Yeah, who look who love culture.
Anyway, uh wait, no, you didn't even finish.
Where should where should people find that out?
Is it what?
Who destroyed the original crown jewels of France?
Yeah, we mean Carl did uh a multipart series on Napoleon, and I think the first episode of that, it's a very early epochs, it was in the first six months or so.
The very first episode of that is all about sort of just the pre Napoleonic setup.
So, yeah, we talk about it there actually, yeah.
Very early epochs.
There you go.
Check that out.
Check out the state of politics.
Uh thank you both for uh joining me on this podcast.
And uh look forward to next Thursday for the live stream where Samson and I will be discussing Silent Hill and going through it in some detail.
