Rupert Lowe’s crowdfunded inquiry into Pakistani grooming gangs—raising £600,000 amid political resistance—exposed systemic failures, police complicity, and international trafficking networks targeting white girls in UK cities like Derby and Birmingham. Testimonies revealed racial slurs ("gora") and abuse near police stations, while Lowe’s push for public court transcripts clashed with the Ministry of Justice’s deletion of Courtdesk’s archive. Meanwhile, Javed Aslam’s Greek lobbying effort to legalize first-cousin marriages (65% in Pakistan vs. <1% in the West) highlights genetic risks—Pakistani babies from such unions show a 37x higher birth defect rate—and welfare costs, framing it as a cultural regression. Lowe’s independent work forces a reckoning: Western tolerance of harmful traditions may now face its limits. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters episode 1352.
I'm your host Harry joined today by Josh.
You're right there.
Oh, sorry, I forgot.
Not that guy.
He's far too hench to be Josh.
And Brother Stelios.
Hello, brother Harry.
We've got a right hodgepodge of subjects today.
Some fun, some much less so, as Josh is going to be taking us through how Japan is literally turning unwanted migrants into sushi.
I'm going to be talking about the horrors of Rupert Lowe's rape gang inquiry.
And Stelios is going to be telling us about his attractive cousin.
Yep.
Hey, that's my shtick as a Devonshire man.
My segment is going to be demented today.
They always are.
Your segments are demented.
Not always.
That's what we like getting you on the part of.
The best Stelios segments are the ones that are deranged and depraved.
And I don't want to see any of them.
If Samson is alive by the end of them, I haven't done my job well.
That's right.
He's going to be full med maxing for this segment.
Anyway, let's get into the news.
Okay, so I've obviously reported quite a lot about Japan facing new problems with immigration.
Of course, it has followed the same exact pattern as it has in Europe and North America, except, of course, they're not as far along as both of those continents.
And thankfully, it doesn't seem to be going that way anymore.
Or at least, that's what seems to be the case.
And I'm going to run through some of the more recent problems and not sort of refresh the things I've already talked about.
But I have shown you all the annoying tourists, people like Johnny Somali and the like, going there and basically just abusing the good nature of the Japanese for their own twisted reasons, I suppose.
And just the people there causing problems, littering, being loud, drunk, disorderly, disrespectful to Japanese culture and customs, the whole suite of things that is a surefire way to offend Japanese sensibilities and them not being the same sort of pushovers that are afraid of being called racist that some people in the West, other parts of the West were, have pretty much just rejected it.
So here I've got one of my favourite videos of, I think it's an African who was misbehaving and he got the sushification treatment where they wrap him in a blanket and roll him up.
And eat him.
I don't think they eat him, but they do imprison him.
And apparently I looked up why they do this blanket and it's like to contain people who are being disruptive or publicly intoxicated, I suppose.
Too disrespectful.
Yes, you get turned into sushi if you're disrespectful.
That's why Japan's surrounded by disrespectful fish.
So yes, it's safe to say that they've had their problems and there have been lots of high-profile examples of it.
There are examples of weird foreigners going up to Japanese schoolgirls and harassing people and sexually assaulting them and just being violent and horrible.
All the things that you expect at this point if you've been following European and North American politics.
And it's not just things like that as well.
You see things like this, which you wouldn't think this was Japan, would you?
Very neat and tidy country.
They've got lots of respect for other people by keeping their environment clean.
That's what it's all about, ultimately.
And you can see these people don't look very Japanese and then there's all this litter on the floor.
And what's basically happened is a similar thing to Europe whereby areas have been basically ghettoised.
They had like areas with large Kurdish populations and they were causing lots of problems.
Why Kurds were going to Japan of all places?
Link they have to it, I do not know.
But people were getting very fed up with it.
And you also get annoying tourists as well, white Westerners, who are at least not as violent, but they are really annoying.
And I want to play this without any sound because it's already annoying enough.
See if I can mute it.
Sorry.
Just people on a crossing dancing around being annoying.
This would be annoying if you did it at home, let alone in a foreign country.
I hate all of these people.
And if Japan just bans tourism forever, I would understand.
Now, some may find this to be shocking.
But yeah, everybody in this story should redact it.
I mean, the fact that the fact that they're holding up the 6'7 sign as well, you're going to a foreign country, a foreign culture that's the entirety of their culture is based around reciprocal politeness and manners.
And you're going there and disturbing everybody for the sake of throwing around possibly the worst meme I've ever seen.
Yes, if you're Japanese and watching this, not all of us Europeans are quite like this.
We do find this annoying ourselves, and it is impolite.
And if people were doing it in our country, we would be annoyed as well.
And there's also things like this.
So a town in Japan had to cancel its cherry blossom festival due to badly behaved, they say tourists.
It might not just be tourists.
They say visitors were trespassing, littering, and defecating in private yards.
Makes one wonder what part of the world they're coming from if they're doing that, doesn't it?
Probably a third part of the world.
Well, now, if I remember correctly, Japan was also facing large-scale immigration from India, like everywhere else in the world.
Wait a minute.
Is that what you're talking about?
Yeah, they were set to import half a million people over the next five years.
was last year that they announced this in a deal with India.
For some reason, India's a bit like gypsies, ironically, in that...
I mean, gypsies are Indian, so...
In that they throw things in with deals, like gypsies will throw a dog in with a deal.
India throws in half a million of their population.
Just like, yeah, we've got a trade deal.
Take about half a mil.
you go it's sort of like uh they got the people to spare That's true.
And apparently, Modi's strategy is just like, if we get Indians all around the world, then we'll have a really strong network of support and it will give us power.
Yeah, they want to.
It's a soft power.
My head cannon, what I think would be funny, is that Modi actually hates other Indians and doesn't want to be near them.
So he's just trying to get as many of them out of India as possible.
I imagine it's probably more to do with the Hindu nationalism thing.
It's probably more to do with extending soft power through foreign across foreign countries.
But of course, that does mean that if you have large amounts of Indian immigration, that means that the explicit purpose from the Indian government in being there in the first place is to give power to India and not to serve your country, just to be clear.
And there's also an even worse figure here in terms of immigration.
It announced it would accept 1.23 million immigrants over two years.
This was, of course, not the current government now.
But it's just an unnecessarily large amount of people at the face of it, let alone where they're going to be sourced from their compatibility with Japanese culture.
Josh, question.
This video was uploaded on December 26, 2025, which was when Sanai Takei was PM.
She assumed the role two months before that.
So is she talking about the current government?
I don't think that this is going to go ahead now.
I think it was planned previously because when I was doing my prior coverage of Japan, they were talking about importing lots and lots of people.
And of course, being elected on a mandate of, yes, we're going to restrict immigration and do things about that, I think, is going to put a stop to things like this.
And then we go to this, which was interesting.
In the lead-up to this snap election, people were talking about we must prevent Japan from becoming Europe.
We need tough immigration policies.
And I saw this quite a lot, where they're actually looking at the state of Europe, and rightfully so, and saying, we don't want that for Japan, which is perfectly reasonable.
I think most countries across the world that want to remain themselves should be able to do such a thing.
Exactly.
And I think that, you know, as a European, I'm glad you've not followed in our footsteps because it's not a fate becoming of a civilized country like Japan.
And appropriately, this guy kind of looks like a Japanese baz.
And also, one good thing about the previous election is that about the elections that they just had in Japan is it shows that the left doesn't have a strong foothold in Japanese politics.
Oh, we'll be talking about that because I'll be showing you some very cringy things that they were trying to do.
It seems to me that the rate of decline is the rate of acceptance of leftism.
The more you accept the left and its ridiculous, culturally suicidal rhetoric and policies, the more your country turns to something you don't want to turn to.
I think they're also the most prone to adopt sort of Western leftist talking points more generally.
And I don't think American left-wing talking points translate particularly well in Japan.
They don't seem to resonate with people in quite the same way, although they're all, of course, nonsense.
And so there was a snap election called, and the results were very impressive, to be honest.
You'll notice here that there are only five left-wingers.
One centre-left and four full-on leftists, by the looks of it, if I'm getting the colours right there.
It's difficult to tell from this TV, isn't it?
But yes, there's obviously a decent handful, well, more than a handful, a couple of dozen centrists, yes, and some other, but it's mostly about 80% or so right-wing, which is a pretty strong mandate, I think, to be able to do things.
And what's funny is that she is the leader of the Japanese libdems, who have nothing to do with the libdems of the UK.
I know, it's very confusing because our Liberal Democrats in Britain are like open borders fanatics.
Yes, they are.
And yes, it's always refreshing to not see that in Japan.
And it's worth mentioning as well that there's such a large supermajority that they can reject the constitution that was imposed on them by the Americans after the war if they so wish.
And I think that her interest in remilitarizing Japan seems to suggest that that may well happen.
I don't know to what degree.
I'm not, you know, a scholar of the Japanese constitution or anything.
But at the same time, I think it's probably a good idea.
From what I saw, she can't over...
In order for her to amend the constitution, she needs a supermajority in both the lower house, which she has, and on the upper house.
And then if it passes there, they need to have a national referendum where more than 50% of the Japanese people will vote whether they want the amendment.
But the interesting thing, and she does have a point, is that according to the current constitution, it seems that Japan shouldn't even have war potential.
And they have one of the strongest armies.
it's routinely among the top 10 armies.
So de facto, it doesn't matter.
It's much more of a legal issue for her to not be facing a legal nightmare if something happens in the future.
Because the fact that they do have more potential.
Well, this is the thing, isn't it?
That if enough people in your country want to ignore a law, it may as well not exist, even if it is a part of your constitution.
And given the realities of things, if America's pulling out of larger geopolitical interests, Japan is right.
I mean, obviously, they want to focus on China.
But if America is going to start getting belligerent to China and Japan is a next-door neighbor of China and also Russia to huge superpowers as well, it's in their interests to be able to defend themselves.
Yeah, and I don't think the Americans are going to object to Japan remilitarizing or expanding its military fervor because they're very against China, if you're a student of history, and so is the United States.
Some might say they went a little bit far in being against China in the past.
Bit of a sore topic in Japan.
But yes, she's particularly hawkish about Taiwan.
And so I think it's going to be music to the Americans' ears to know that Japan is going to be very much supporting them if there is any action to be taken out of there.
Also, I think she was helped electorally, unintentionally, obviously, by the Chinese who framed her as an enemy and they threatened her.
And the Japanese didn't take that well.
I know.
And the communists were saying that we shouldn't even have an army.
So you can see, I think even five positions there, they're five too many.
I would say so.
But I think it's funny that the Chinese actually thought that, you know, if we insult, you know, a politician from one of our historic enemies, that's going to harm their chances.
Like, what were they thinking?
No, if China's saying you're an enemy and you're Japanese, that's probably going to make Japanese people like you.
Just a thought.
But it did work out for her.
So another thing that's worth mentioning as well that is interesting about it is her party won all 30 districts in Tokyo.
And of course, in Europe and North America, normally the inner city is a hive of left-wing villainy.
And this is clearly not inevitable.
It doesn't have to be the case if you have, for example, a homogenous population like Japan.
The cities don't necessarily have to be left-wing at all.
And so that is just some food for thought that actually you can win if you're right-wing, especially if you're not as sensitive about being called racist in Japan.
And it's also worth pointing out as well that the movement is quite a young one.
Towards Right-Wing Success00:14:50
It's skewed mostly towards, you know, people under 40 here.
It's a decent portion of support there.
And so this seems to suggest that this landslide has longevity to it as well.
Because if it's old people sporting it, which are least likely, it's sort of a similar thing, I think, in Britain, whereby some of the baby boomers are less likely to support more radical policies, I think.
But this should be a source of great optimism for the Japanese right because this is the sort of demographics of growth and of future success.
And I think that that's always a very important thing to look at if you want to have a political party that has sustained success over a long period of time.
Also, Josh, I want to add that Japan faces a cost of living crisis and she sort of neutralized the opposition by saying that she's going to revoke an 8% consumption tax on food.
I don't know why there's a tax on food to begin with.
That seems like a strange thing to tax if you want to have a livable country.
Yes, and I mean, she proposed a massive stimulus package, which it's always a question of how she's going to finance it and how well she's going to finance it.
But the revoke of the consumption tax really worked in her favour.
I've seen people saying, I've not looked into it as much as I could have, that she's sort of continuing Abe Nomics as in Shinzo Abe.
And it's sort of that philosophy where you don't necessarily associate high spending with right-wing politicians, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the case.
Japan's always quite happy to spend on its infrastructure and things like that, more so than perhaps in the West, where we have a bit more of a culture of not wanting to give our money to the government, which is very much the case for me.
And here we have the market reaction to this election, and the stocks surged to record highs in reaction to her landslide, which is always a promising thing.
So when the market is reacting positively, of course, that's a good sign that people have confidence in her ability to help the economy recover.
And maybe there's going to be more investment in Japan.
Although, word of warning with that, with foreign money comes foreign leverage over your politics, and I would advise caution with this because there will be people who will be investing in Japan to impose their political will on the Japanese people that's not in the Japanese people's interest.
And this is something that we have all the time in Europe and North America.
And I'm not quite sure that this aspect of our politics translates quite as easily as the videos that are sort of undeniable of immigration degrading the quality of our life.
But this is something to keep in mind.
And of course, I'm not necessarily suggesting that you should shut yourself off like Japan did in the past entirely.
But at the same time, not all money is created equal when it comes to investments in your country.
So here is what the left had to offer.
And I think part of the reason that the right did so well is that the left in Japan seems to be, how do I put it? Very cringeworthy, yes.
Was this a Kamala Harris effect?
Where part of the reason for the landslide is that the opposing choice was just so bad?
I think it could be, yes.
So this is the leader of the Social Democratic Party.
And I'm going to subject you to this, just because I want to be cruel.
Basically, this is a wrap.
I hope this isn't the only dancing video you have there.
I've got more.
Good.
There's also this.
Harry's going to be impressed because there's actually some good rock musicianship going on.
Alright, okay.
Even though they're like.
The Japanese produce a lot of great rock music.
You've got some good guitarists over there as well.
However, the messaging could, you know, leave a little bit more to be desired because it's.
I don't see this resonating with voters, to be honest.
Because their signs are like, stop fascism, don't be racist.
I was really hoping it would be like Japanese power metal or something.
It's not bad written.
It's a bulk standard blues wrist.
I know, but at least they're trying.
But yeah, see the bag that says against racism.
It's just American and European style leftism there.
Like, it's not really native to Japan.
It seems to be imported.
And, you know, this sort of thing, I don't think resonates with people as much as, you know, seeing on the news that there are creepy foreigners going after your young girls.
Yeah, now, if the chorus to that song was like, get them out, get them out, something like that, then maybe you can resonate with it, right?
A little bit more, perhaps, yes.
And I'm not done with the cringe yet.
Here's another leader of left-wing party doing something strange.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm going to mute it though.
Sounds clapping.
Is that ECDC?
I don't know whether it's going to get copyrighted if we play it, so I'm just going to mute it.
We can't hear it.
But I don't know what this serves to do.
Just a man in what looks like a swimming cap and a dressing gown.
But the stone toss meme immediately jumps to mind.
How does this help us win elections?
And the guy's already there in his bathrobe and his hat, and he's going, elections?
I will say this.
I wish our leftists were like that.
We do.
No, this is silly.
Laugh more.
And second, we wouldn't have all the blue hair screeching.
This is literally like the Japanese equivalent of Ed Davy, though.
Ed Davy, who in the last election, his entire campaign was, watch me do a bungee jump and stuff like that.
I'm surprised he wasn't just like, join me having a bubble bath.
It's like he thought he was a game show contestant rather than a politician.
And it's also a bit sad that it's mostly like well-off rural people that are voting for him.
Just this buffoon.
It's demeaning to their dignity.
It's the idea of, you know, like, oh, we're going to be kooky, unique bonkers politics.
Actually, when your country is in a state of existential threat.
It doesn't come across particularly well.
Yeah.
I think also Japan hasn't got the same degree of tension and partisanship that we have in Europe and North America.
And so they can be a little bit silly.
Well, you can afford to be like that when you've got a more homogenous population.
That's exactly it, I think.
And I think there might be one more.
Oh, yes.
The Communist Party leader, because yes, they do have communists in Japan, a small number of them.
I thought they killed them all years ago.
Apparently not.
But they talk about the disappearance of Japan as a nation state as her ultimate goal.
So just, you know, complete open borders, no nations.
You know, it's like imagined by John Lennon.
That's basically what's going on here.
Which, believe it or not, is probably not very popular.
And I wouldn't vote for that, just to be clear, obviously.
But I have noticed an interesting development.
If I translate this, this is a video of Australian police just bashing the head in of a left-wing protester.
And I think Japan has finally got its version of Chuds because this posted quite well and it's talking about how they wish the Japanese police would just beat up the left.
One thing to say about this though is that I saw the video and it was the video where the protester was biting the hand of the policeman.
And that's not the typical Australian police.
No, it is.
Usually they are much more relaxed.
And I think I don't know if there were people protesting there because maybe Netanyahu was in Australia and they were counter-protesting.
It was a little while ago, yeah, that's I think so, yeah.
But I don't think this is the average day of Australia.
I really want to tell that person that I'm willing to bet money that the Japanese police is much better than the Australian one in dealing with these issues.
I think they at least go out of their way to represent the interests of Japan rather than arresting their patriots and having one of the harshest police states in the Western world.
We don't really hear about that.
And it's also worth mentioning that the Western media, upon the successful election of a right-winger with a significant amount of control, wanted to present it as some sort of weird coup.
Here's Sky News saying Japan's ultra-conservative prime minister is set to seize more power, which is an interesting turn of phrase for a democratic election.
Seize more power implies that you use force or the military or a paramilitary to take power for yourself without an election.
And so they're trying to present it as if they're dangerous in some way, which is obvious.
And they do this all the time in our own domestic politics.
So the blueprint's already there.
They already know what they're doing.
And it is just to undermine people's perception of them worldwide.
And it's to try and limit their reach, I think, beyond their borders.
And I mean, the mainstream media don't want success stories from other paradigms.
And there are many relative to what we have.
So let's talk a little bit about what their new prime minister wants to do.
She said, immigration and tourism has led to foreigner fatigue, which I thought was an interesting choice of words.
I'm certainly feeling the fatigue at home.
She's anti-gay marriage.
She is an avid defender of traditional gender roles, although she has become prime minister, so I don't know how that quite meshes.
She supports revising Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan, which renounces the use of military force.
So I think that this might be something that could be on the cards for what we were talking about towards the start of this segment.
It's much more legalistic than substantial.
That's true.
She's also criticized people for pointing out Japan's war crimes in the Second World War, or at least misrepresenting or dwelling on them.
I'm not exactly sure of the nature of it.
And as we have touched on already, she's very anti-Chinese Communist Party, which all good people should be.
And another thing that I noticed that has already been announced was that they're moving to require 10 years of residency and proficiency in the Japanese language to become a citizen.
And so anyone who doesn't meet that criteria, I imagine, will be allowed there temporarily, but they'll have to go home eventually on a temporary visa or on a tourist visa.
So it's not necessarily ending the problem, but I think it's trying to reduce it.
And it's a step.
It's a big block.
It is a big block, isn't it?
Because 10 years of residency and proficiency in Japanese is probably going to put a lot of the people who are causing problems in the first place off.
Like, I don't think the average Kurd is going to become fluent in Japanese and stick it out for 10 years to remain a citizen there.
They're just going to move on to which other place can give them better economic opportunities.
If it becomes more difficult for them to actually be able to sustain a good standard of living there, and the chances of becoming a citizen are next to none, it'll force them into a position of transience, let alone care much about Japan.
Very much so.
So, I am very pleased to see this from Japan, and I'm very happy to...
Can I say something before you finish your segment?
I really want to say this because I think both of you will agree.
What is really interesting from a Western perspective and in comparison is that they have low birth rates, but they just don't buy any of the arguments that are given for mass migration.
They should be fine as well.
Well, I would expect that those low birth rates had a lot to do with why previous governments were beginning to open up the gates to mass migrants.
It was also part of conditions for international loans because Japan's got a high level of debt to GDP.
And so people leverage that debt to impose immigration on them, particularly non-governmental organizations.
But one thing, when we say that they were open to migration, they weren't open in the same way that Europe is.
Because I think even now, the percentage of foreigners in Japan is something like 3.2%.
It's even less than that.
It's even less, yeah.
And I suppose to end, I'm very pleased to see this development in Japan.
You guys didn't deserve to have the same fate that we've had so far.
And I'm glad to see that you're able to do something about it.
And I hope it actually turns out for the best.
All right.
We've got a few rumble rants if you want to read it.
Sorry, that went on longer.
I wanted to keep it.
That was a good segment.
No, that was.
That was fine.
G'day all.
Don't forget Japanese Prime Minister won a majority even with the support of Trump.
Like I said about a week ago, it's not Trump.
It's the fact that European white conservatives are weak.
They are, but they are referring to a conversation we had about Greenland.
And there is evidence with respect to what happens when Trump speaks and how it tanks right-wing parties in Europe.
There's evidence about this.
I mean, in Europe.
People Have Had Enough00:02:57
Obviously, it's not the only thing, but there is evidence that this is happening.
Well, I mean, the differences are that Trump was overtly aggressive and belligerent towards European countries.
He has been consistently friendly towards Japan.
That's random name says the leftoids are always kvetching about hate crimes, but is it really a crime to hate them?
I cannot speak because I will be in big trouble.
But I understand what you're saying.
Logan17 Pine said, I must admit Japan is my Israel.
Sometimes happens, send $1 billion.
Something happens.
Something happens, send $1 billion to Japan.
Send a trillion dollars to Japan right now.
Yeah, I mean, it's an admirable culture, isn't it?
They're clearly civilized.
They've got high politeness.
It's very orderly.
There's a lot to appreciate.
Johnston is loving this.
No matter what war crimes they may have committed in the past, you have to admit that it showed a level of great ambition and follow-through.
I mean, they came this close to killing my grandfather, and I'm willing to overlook that.
You've got to respect them for it.
I came that close to not existing because of your country.
But no, I don't hold it.
I genuinely don't hold it against them.
With Australia, people have had enough of all the Islam speaking hate to us and not being punished, and people are just had enough, and they're worried about our reformed party One Nation rising in the polls.
Yeah, and I think, you know, you're right to be concerned.
And also Islam is such an alien culture to Australia because at least with Europe it's the only, it's only the other side of the Mediterranean, whereas Australia they've got to travel so far to get there that it's obviously just about.
I'm Donesia, you know well.
I'd expect that migration thing.
I also expect that Bondi Beach has maybe put a dampener, I would imagine.
So you don't want terrorism going on in your country.
That's a random name.
Again, Japan is what the West would look like had we not import.
I can't read this.
Same aging population, same low cryo levels and birth rates would eventually rise, naturally.
Yeah, and there is also evidence from a number of studies it's increasing evidence from lots of different studies now that seems that higher diversity of your population actually reduces native birth rates as well.
It makes perfect sense when you look at it just purely economically, like there's, there's people stifling your ability to afford raising your own children.
Also just a less cohesive culture, less opportunities to actually meet people.
You say the same age uh, dispersing populations as people move from one area of the country to another under a quote-unquote white flight is it's.
It's obvious that that was what would happen and I would argue that's part of the point anyway, speaking of the harrowing consequences of mass migration of a foreign population and foreign culture, particularly islam, into your country.
Rupert Lowe's Inquiry00:05:30
Rupert Lowe's rape gang inquiry is currently ongoing.
We announced last week that it had begun on the 2nd of february.
It's taking place over 10 days spread across two weeks.
So we're in week two, day three right now and uh, a lot of the information that's coming out is pretty horrifying, so I won't dwell on it too much, but this is important.
It's important to get an update on this and to see where the inquiry is heading, what Rupert's doing off of the back of the information that the inquiry is acquiring, because the inquiry itself is independent, it has no statutory powers.
So he is going to try and use the information gathered here to pressure uh, local and national authorities into following up on a lot of the crimes that have clearly been committed, and it does seem that he's uncovering a lot of extra crimes that spread out internationally at a level that I don't even think a lot of people had even dared to consider up until this point, although when you hear it it makes perfect sense.
So just a quick recap.
So the actual inquiry had a little bit of a trouble starting to begin with, and you would expect so, because it is explicitly against the interests of the current ruling class, who are all allegedly and assumedly complicit in what has gone on, in covering up these gangs raping young white girls, the crimes against our girls.
So one of the first things that happened was that he actually wasn't, because it's an independent inquiry.
He had to raise money for it himself and did this crowd for it, this crowdfunder.
Would I be able to say something?
Episode quick?
Yeah, of course.
The fact that Rupert has to go out of his way to do this in the first place should be A massive point of shame for the people that have resisted this sort of thing.
And they should feel shame.
I know they don't, but they should, because this is something that should be unequivocal.
You shouldn't have a political opinion on this necessarily.
It shouldn't be a political issue because it's essentially the mass exploitation of an entire generation of young girls.
You would hope that all politics is against this, but apparently not.
People have been divided to such an extent and forced into, well, brainwashed into hating their own people and hating their own culture so much that they were either immediately dismissive of these claims, as we saw for decades leading up to the mid-2010s when this really broke as a news story as something that was real in the mainstream, whereas before it had just been dismissed.
So they either dismissed it or they consciously covered it up because they thought it would be bad for the foreign populations coming into the country.
Credit to Rupert for actually going ahead.
He's just one MP and he's managed to do far more than I can think any single MP outside of government has done, at least in my lifetime.
And this does seem to have acted as a pressure push for the national government as well, because now Keir Starmer's government is saying that they are doing a national inquiry.
Obviously, we've reported before on a lot of the problems that are related to that.
Rupert's was announced first, and then the government decided that they needed to do one as well that would actually have statutory powers and is being overseen by the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, amongst other authorities.
But there are a lot of problems with how that has been organised.
You can check our previous reporting for that.
Either way, one of the things that happened was he raised over £600,000 to begin with to get this inquiry started.
And there were complaints put in to the Commission standards that he had not properly announced or given the information regarding some larger donations past £1,500 to the Commission, to the Government Commission.
And therefore, a complaint was put through to him, despite the fact that he said, and it was proven and confirmed by the standards themselves, that he had only received these larger donations on the 23rd of June last year, which gave him until the 21st of July to register them, and that he had demonstrated to the Commissioner that all rules had been followed, and the Commissioner ended up dismissing it.
But it's very clear, as Rupert said at the time, that the complaint was a malicious attempt to shut him down and undermine the inquiry.
People were immediately very afraid of such a thing going ahead.
Who knows what they might uncover?
Who knows who might get caught in the crosshairs of something like this?
So try and get it shut down right now, especially if it forces us, the actual government, to try and do something.
We're Labour.
We're insane leftists.
We don't want to actually do anything to help this country.
Shut it down right now.
But it didn't get shut down.
There's a strong political incentive here for Labour because, of course, they've relied on the Muslim vote.
And if they're seen to be targeting the Muslim community, then that's terrible for sustaining it.
And they're already losing it to the Green Party already.
And so I think that there's not only an ideological incentive in that they're insane left-wingers who think that non-British people can do no wrong, but also a very pragmatic one that if they are to ever see power again, they need that Muslim vote.
And they're losing it quite badly.
Yes.
Yeah, definitely all of that is to be taken into consideration with this.
But if you look through the actual page that they posted here on the crowdfunder, this has been this way for a long time.
Political Incentives and Racism00:16:07
You can see that they're going about it in a very comprehensive way.
And the key questions that they wanted to answer were, what happened?
How did it happen?
Why was it allowed to happen?
Are the very, very important things that we, the British public, deserve to know.
And they made it all very transparent.
It's all very clear on the page.
And they have been posting updates ever since and throughout the entire process.
The most recent one being from the 10th of February just yesterday, saying about how you can help and you can sign this petition here, make all court transcripts available fully free of charge.
Because of course, in Britain, if you want access to public court transcripts, you need to pay for them, which is obviously a barrier to being able to see what was written down in them, what was said in these court cases.
And so they want to remove that barrier and make it far more transparent for the public.
And we'll get back onto this in particular at the end of this segment.
But first, here's just some of the other stuff that he's been speaking about, saying about how the amount of preparation that they've been going into it was astonishing.
The team across the country over and over, speaking to survivors, collecting evidence, spreading the word, providing support every step of the way for those brave enough to come forward.
Because of course, there are a lot of safeguarding issues with these girls, with the stories that they're going to tell, with the kind of emotional trauma that they've been through.
So there's every precaution been put in place to make sure that these people are comfortable and able to properly say what happened to them in an environment that isn't going to just re-traumatize them again.
Although, you know, living through what they've been through, I can imagine that any sort of reminder of this is kind of re-traumatizing, which is a horrifying thing to think about.
They announced the start of it when it opened on the 2nd of February last week.
And one of the things that they're going to do off the back of it is they are going to do a produce a comprehensive and detailed report off of the back of it, which will be the basis for private prosecutions.
And given the horrifying information that's been coming out as a result of all of this, hopefully we will see actual prosecutions, see people being put in prison off of the back of this.
They are planning to take real action.
And this is where we get into some of the actual stories and some of the things that have been coming out.
So Rupert Lowe's been posting about this on his own Twitter account.
There is also just the account called the Rape Gang Inquiry, which has been producing these infographics with some of the excerpts of what has been said as part of these inquiries so far.
Like this one, the mother of a rape gang survivor saying, I heard the police officers' radio go and I heard them say they was taking my daughter to Mohammed's brother's address.
I begged them not to take her there.
I was like, they're the people that are doing this to her.
You cannot take her there.
They're going to kill her.
Because I did believe they was going to.
And you can hear in the language being used here as well, of course, a lot of these girls are from working class and poorer backgrounds.
A lot of them came from, we've discussed this before in other discussions of this.
A lot of them came from care homes.
They were vulnerable girls, not in positions to help themselves, and in positions where the police didn't feel like helping them or the family.
Because frankly, a lot of the police, a lot of the authorities would have seen these families as being scum in the first place, which is a pretty horrifying thing to consider.
That kind of level of class dynamic influenced the behavior of our authorities in leaving these girls to be abused.
No matter what social class you're from, no one deserves this.
Not even close.
It's obviously just an excuse for that inactivity.
Yeah, I mean, just this as well.
Just finish it off.
They didn't listen to me.
They did take her there.
And like I said, she was abused there by them, by Mohammed.
So this is police complicity.
And also when this crime occurred and arguably still occurs on an industrial scale, it can't be just a matter of particular individual criminals.
No, and this is talking about structures and we're talking about a culture of looking the other way.
Well, we know they also infiltrated the police.
There were Pakistani policemen who covered for these child rapists.
I mean, there was a Pakistani lord that was involved in this.
Yeah, it involved the entire Pakistani community.
And I think were push come to shelve, you'd be able to find out that pretty much everyone knew about it within that community, and they all covered for them because, you know, their perception is that their ethnic interests are far more important than actually being just and moral.
And many of the wives of the men who were doing those things justified it in much the same way that they did, which is just disgusting.
And I think that it's not only the men, but also the women that are complicit in this as well.
It's the entire...
Well, it's the racial animus behind a lot of this as well.
There were many testimonies.
There's one that's been reported on through the Rape Gang Inquiry Twitter account, but there's also testimonies going back all the way to the old transcripts that some of them you can now get access to, as I did and looked into them as part of this roundtable where we looked at the grooming gang trial transcripts back in the beginning of December, where there's a huge racial animus for this.
A lot of these people see these white girls as easy meet and victim and easy victims of abuse purely because they're white and therefore not as valuable as their own girls.
They have a particular word for it.
I believe that word is gora, which roughly translates to something like white trash.
So these people see it as their place in the racial hierarchy to be able to do this to white girls.
And that's another aspect of this which has been addressed as part of this inquiry, but really as part of the broader authority structures that we have in this country has not really been addressed by them.
They want to ignore that whole aspect to it.
You know, there's just loads of horrifying stuff come from this.
So there's this gentleman, Marlon West, who spoke to the inquiry.
There's been the infographics.
There's also been some of these videos released as well, where this man, Marlon West, tells the inquiry about his experience.
He is a father of one of the rape gang survivors.
Let's just hear a minute or two of this because it'll give you a good idea of what it would be like to be in the shoes of a parent of one of these girls as you know that they are being victimized when the police don't care and don't want to help.
At this point, this is where she would go missing for two, three weeks at a time.
I had my fears of what was going on.
Them fears were confirmed a couple of years ago.
So she was living in this property.
She was on a child in need.
She was well known to the missing persons team at Tameside Police, Great Manchester Police.
I would be driving around constantly every single night knocking on people's doors, you know, friends of hers, trying to find where she is.
Eventually, I found this property and I try and get into this property.
But also, what's important with this, four doors down from this terrace house is police station.
I found the property, seen her in the property, tried getting into the property.
Then I went to her police station, which is Derbyshire Police, and said, my daughter, 14-year-old, is in there.
I believe she's been prostituted out.
Can you get her out of the property for me?
Where do you live, sir?
I live in Thames Hyde.
Sorry, we can't get involved.
She's not a Derbyshire resident.
It goes on from there, but that just immediately you can tell.
If you were in this position, like this poor man was, and you tried to do something about it, the police would go out of their way to nitpick with rules so they didn't have to do anything.
So they didn't have to help you.
Because as well, it wasn't just the particularity of like, oh, well, it's not technically our constituency.
You're not a resident of our constituency, so we can't do anything about it.
Everybody knows that one of the other reasons is they would have known, four doors down, there's a Pakistani living there.
Do we want to be seen as the police to go down harassing the Pakistanis and causing racial harassment?
That would have been their primary concern.
No.
No, they don't.
So they just leave you to it.
And this man as well said explicitly that he went to, he asked Jess Phillips to look into it.
And according to him, she completely agreed and said, oh yeah, we can do that.
We can do that in a couple of months.
And that was 18 months ago.
Nothing has changed.
Again, pretty high up levels of authority here.
Being asked directly to intervene in something that we all knew was going on.
We all know is still going on in parts of the European.
Hold at least at some point the women and safeguarding position in the government.
Yep.
Doesn't care though.
Doesn't actually care.
And then there are the broader community involvement of all of this.
When we're talking about the fact that they were primarily Pakistani rape gangs, it's not just incidental that a few Pakistanis here and there decided to form these.
It does seem to be widespread community involvement across the entire Pakistani community in Britain.
Yeah, well, it's at least taken place in around, what, 20 or more cities across England.
And of course, they're now finding it in Scotland as well.
Wherever they go.
It is wherever they go.
Wherever they go.
And that's another part of this, which is, again, a lot of us already knew a lot of this, but the rape gang inquiry is making it clearer and clearer and finding more evidence to support this.
So for one, there's family involvement here from this survivor saying that they called it the party house, so there were constantly men coming, anywhere between 10 and 20 men at any one time in the house.
But one time on Eid, they, I remember, I remember him shouting at me, telling me I had to get friends out because his relatives were coming from Birmingham to celebrate Eid and they were expecting girls to be waiting there for him.
That's just relatives.
Your own family members.
Such a weird thing.
Could you imagine?
We've got a big religious ceremony for our big religious holiday coming on.
Families coming down.
Make sure we've got some girls there to abuse.
You can trust your own family to be able to sort that out for you.
Imagine that on Christmas Day or something.
It's about as far from, you know, the British sensibilities as humanly possible.
Completely alien.
Completely alien.
And because of that, you know, you get stuff like the trafficking around the entire country because there is just a huge amount of evidence to support human trafficking, being heavily involved in all of this as well.
Another survivor, there's a very big network.
He's in Derby, Birmingham.
There's Sheffield.
There's Newcastle.
There's Leeds.
There's Barnsley.
So you'd get taken to, say, Burton, and then he'd take you to a house and they'd send men in like a conveyor belt.
So again, as discussed in a lot of the transcripts that you can find on here that we went through, which again were very, very difficult to get through, just like everything here.
It's just a community pastime.
For a lot of these people, they present as being normal family men, business owners, shopkeepers, hairdressers during the week.
And then Friday night, the weekend, this is what they get up to.
Above the kebab, above your local kebab, this is what the locals will be getting up to.
It's just normal.
If this is what constitutes a fun pastime for them, of no consequence, they can go about being a normal family man in the day and do this by night.
They have no right to be in our country.
No right to be anywhere near our communities.
No right to be nestled within our communities.
And certainly no right to be within a thousand miles of any white girl.
If this is what they want to do to them.
Again, and this is what Rupert Lowe is speaking about here when he's saying that there's a sophisticated level of coordination between these rape gangs.
It's not just independent rape gangs acting independent of one another.
This isn't just a one-off thing that happens here and there with no knowledge or interaction between each other.
It does seem that they have networks where they're probably in WhatsApp groups, they're probably on signal chats, where they talk to one another and say, oh, we've got these girls here.
Do you want to come over here to us or do we bring them to you?
And vice versa.
That's likely what is going on here.
He's calling it a national crime network of the most depraved kind.
This is not simply dispersed groups of savages.
This is coordinated right across the country.
And as a result of that, you get situations like this girl saying that it started when she was 13, saying that she was raped by probably about six or seven hundred different men over three years.
And people on the left, people within the mainstream, will say, well, why don't you care about white grooming gangs in response to us talking about these things?
They'll say, why don't you care when it's white people?
Why do you only care when it's foreigners?
And one, I do care about any situation like this, and it's incredibly dishonest to try and accuse anybody of not caring.
But there is a qualitative and quantitative difference in all of this, is that typically, and you can again go back to the premium roundtable that we did on the transcripts that came out in December, there is a case in that of white grooming gangs.
And what you find qualitatively is the way that they operate is that they are independent, they are dispersed, and they are very secluded.
They have to remain inside their own group.
Well, it's because white British people don't tolerate this sort of thing going on in their community.
And so they have to keep it insulated, otherwise they'll all get exposed.
Whereas in the Pakistani community, it was so accepted that it was an open secret by everyone.
It's not just a community pastime for white people.
When the white people do it, it's not like they can just call up a local town council and say, like, hey, we've got some girls above the chippy.
You want to come around and have some fun?
But these guys can do that with the local kebab house.
That's one of the huge qualitative differences between these two things.
I want to say two things here.
This is an entirely hypocritical complaint coming from leftists because it is leftists who are traditionally sympathetic to criminals.
Right-wingers are generally very anti-crime and very tough on law and order.
It's leftists who are constantly getting out of the way to say that the criminal was let down by society.
Right?
I don't care.
I'm tough on law and order.
Full stop.
And the other bit is that there is a very crucial element that is a very crucial fallacy that is strategic when it comes by leftists on top of this issue.
It's the conflation between possibility and probability.
Possibility is not as important as probability.
You could say that every group has the potential to perform crimes and to a degree they exercise that potential.
But what is very much important is probability.
Probability Over Possibility00:02:40
If a particular group is overrepresented in crime, then it means that there is a sort of culture that drives that overrepresentation.
So it's not just an issue of possibility.
Yeah, the leftists will say, well, it's Pakistani here.
Why are you focusing on the Pakistani and not focusing on the, let's say, white British crime?
First of all, that's false.
Because we have done segments talking about native crime.
We have done it several times.
We are tough on law and order.
And the question at the end of the day is whether there is a high probability of crime of particular violent nature being committed by members of a particular group.
And if there is, which is documented that there is such a very high probability coming from particular groups, especially from the Middle East and North Africa, all across Europe, then there is the question, why does this happen?
What sort of things push it?
What sort of things drive it?
Why is the establishment try to be completely silent about it to preserve the image of multiculturalism as being a panacea?
Akir for all.
that's a very crucial thing that they are trying to obfuscate, and it reduces to the concept of per capita.
Well, the left doesn't understand scale or probability, really.
We see this with them constantly struggling to understand what per capita actually means.
And so I think even if they are honest about it, which many have an incentive not to be, then there is just a comprehension inability there of understanding that the scale of this, you know, six or seven hundred different men is very different than the scale of the white grooming gangs.
And it doesn't mean that the white grooming gangs, you know, are off the hook.
They're still deplorable people.
But the scale is not necessarily comparable.
And just the casual involvement of normal people.
I mean, and what you're talking about there about the probability, I would just simplify it down to a thought experiment.
You've got a, like, let's say 15-year-old teenage daughter needs to get home and she's on the phone to you and she's saying, oh, there's two roads I can take.
Which one do I use to get home?
Now, they both take you home.
And one's a white British neighborhood.
The other one's a Pakistani neighborhood.
And the Pakistani one's going to take five minutes less to get home.
Which one are you going to send them down?
Which one are you going to say go down this road?
Justice's Casual Casualties00:07:33
You know, like if you want your daughter to be safe if it's late at night, you know which one you're going to tell her to go down.
Even if you're watching this for whatever reason and you're a dedicated liberal or dedicated leftist or whatever, you wouldn't maybe say out loud to us right now.
But if you want to keep your daughter safe, you know which one you're sending her down.
Yeah, you know it.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And again, the community involvement goes to the religious side of it as well.
Rupert Lowe asking one of the survivors, the Imams who run the mosque, do you think they were aware?
The survivor says they know 100% because my friend was when she was 15.
She was sleeping with a guy who was older.
She had a baby by him and his dad was an Imam and his dad knew.
There you go.
They don't care.
You know, like people can make jokes about the Catholic Church all they want.
It was nowhere near as widespread as this.
And if you went to your local Church of England priest and he knew that something like this was going on in his community by people who are part of his congregation, he's probably not going to be quite so forgiving on it as these, or just encouraging of it, as some of these Imams may have been.
You know, they're the children of unbelievers, therefore, it's permitted in the Quran.
There's no religious contention there at all.
Yeah.
And then just the last thing, just to show the unimaginable level of genuine cruelty which is being alleged as part of these inquiries.
This one's very simple.
A survivor saying he put a cigarette out on the baby's face.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know the context of this, but there's no context to make something like that acceptable, is there?
Really?
That's categorical.
Really, that's just evil.
That's just evil.
So that's the horror being found in this.
Now there's the broader implications of such things and some of the evidence that Rupert and the inquiry are saying that they are unearthing as part of this, which is international human trafficking being involved.
Because Rupert has said here, I've tabled a parliamentary motion based on multiple witness statements we have heard at our inquiry on abused British girls being trafficked to Pakistan and elsewhere by their rapists.
I believe that there are currently countless British women being used as sex slaves overseas.
This may sound insane.
It's not.
Look at these gangs.
Nobody would have believed the extent of the evil before it was uncovered.
This is very real.
Because, yeah, given everything that we know, know for a fact, and everything that we have already heard alleged, given that we already know that they do traffic girls around this nation, why wouldn't they, if they have connections overseas, also expand it out internationally as well?
Well, it's actually lower risk if they take them to Pakistan because in Pakistan, there's not going to be anyone that's going to try and stop them.
Exactly.
And if they're making good money from it, because the evidence shows that they are pimping these girls out, there's an even bigger customer base over there.
There's an even bigger market for it.
Very highly populous country.
Yeah.
So that's pretty horrifying.
We'll see what comes of that.
I mean, so far, the response given by Shabana Mahmood was less than encouraging, let's say, when Rupert brought it up in Parliament.
Let's hear what she had to say in response to him mentioning the trafficking to Pakistan.
As the Minister knows such trafficking.
Justice Secretary.
Mr. Speaker, the testimony of the victims that the honourable gentleman has heard from is absolutely horrifying and the grooming gang scandal was one of the darkest moments in this country's history.
Victims and survivors of these hideous crimes deserve justice and we will make sure they get it.
Our inquiry is a full statutory independent inquiry with all of the powers under the Inquiries Act 2005 to deliver justice and I would urge him and anybody else with any allegations of criminality or evidence of criminality to share that with the police immediately.
Not really much of an answer.
Just share it with the police so they can push it off.
Also, we're doing our own statutory inquiry anyway, so we'll sort it out sometime in the future.
When it starts, which date it starts, we haven't decided yet.
It's already been kind of preparing for over half a year, but there's already been troubles and it'll take three years to do anyway.
It's not really even close to being enough.
I want fire and brimstone.
I want we're going to lock people up.
We're going to, you know, end Pakistani immigration and mass deport them.
You know, the way to solve the problem is you remove them from the country and you find every single person that's responsible and punish them accordingly.
Currently, I think the suitable punishment is not in the statute books, but I think that that sort of thing is the appetite of the country, isn't it?
That these people get punishment beyond prison.
I don't know anybody who would disagree with that.
But of course, in the spirit of this whole thing, which has been a massive and monumental cover-up from the beginning, and we talk about transparency and how the government hates transparency, as I mentioned at the beginning of this segment, Rupert Lowe wants to try and make access to court transcripts way easier and more transparent for the public and as well for journalists so that we can actually be properly informed on these things and know what's going on.
Well, at the same time that he tries to put that forward as a petition online to get a bill passed through Parliament, what does the Ministry of Justice do?
They've ordered the deletion of the UK's largest court reporting archive.
How do you think that anyone's interest to make it harder to get information from the justice system?
Now, this was a data analysis company called Courtdesk that support media and campaigners in monitoring court records.
It was open to investigation by journalists and had already uncovered a number of things showing just how oblique the court system in this country is for having people being able to understand and see what's going on inside of it.
So journalists were given no advance of 1.6 million criminal hearings.
The number of court cases listed was accurate on just 4.2% of sitting days, and half a million weekend cases were heard with no notification of the press.
Two-thirds of all courts routinely heard cases that the media was not told about in advance.
17 courts that sent outcome records had not once published an advance listing in the entire period, according to this company's research.
So along with all of this, this company is finding out that, hey, they're just not telling us about stuff.
They're hiding all of this process from us, and they're making it so that you at home have no idea of the kind of criminal cases that are going on, no idea of the kind of criminality that's going on in your local neighborhood.
So they decide, do we fix this?
No, we hide it more.
And that has been the government's only decision that they've been making for decades up to this point.
So I can only hope that once this inquiry is done, which it will be in a few days, that some real action can be taken off the back of this and that we can see the appropriate actors prosecuted and put in prison for a very, very long time.
Factors Affecting First Cousin Marriages00:15:45
There we go.
So got through that one.
And I'll go through the rumble rants.
Random name, although I fully support remigration, I think some exceptions should be made.
Every single person, even remotely in this, should not be deported.
Based Ape, why can I hear the doom soundtrack in my head?
Random name, again, for me, it's very simple.
Anyone who isn't against child abuse of any kind is automatically in favour of it.
Those types of people should be completely expelled from our civilization.
No exceptions.
Didn't he mention exceptions before in the previous?
Well, I mean, there are different ways to expel someone.
There are different crimes.
Fictagious said, she said, was.
No, it is and still is.
She's intentionally playing it down as something from the past when it's still going on.
Yeah, that's in regards to Shabana Mahmood and what she said.
I agree.
I picked up on the same thing.
So now we've gone through that.
Hopefully, Stelios can cheer us up.
I'm not going to cheer you up.
Who the hell is going to tell us why it's happening in the first place?
Before I don't cheer you up, could I please have Z mouse and the thing?
Can you at least get me to crack a smile?
Come on, Harry.
He's doing his bully tactics again, isn't he?
Just yank his ponytail.
There you go.
I'll yank his chest hair.
See who comes off worst.
That's a hate crime against.
And I also have the other thing.
Oh, this as well.
Yeah, sure, I suppose so.
Thank you.
Very uncooperative there.
Yeah, so some people find their cousins too hot to handle, and there are really bad consequences to this desire they have.
And that's why we have laws.
In Greece, we ban first cousin marriages, but in the UK, they're not banned.
And in Greece, right now, we have the Pakistani community who is trying to push. for these first cousin marriages to be allowed.
And personally, I think that this is a disastrous thing.
Everyone who's supporting this should be deported from Greece yesterday.
Before we talk about the statistics and the data of how allowing cousin marriage in the UK has altered the UK and has affected it, do you think it's a good idea?
Am I being too harsh?
What?
Cousin marriage?
Yeah.
No.
Okay, so you don't think I'm too harsh on this?
Depends how sexy your cousins are.
No, I'm joking.
You are.
Stefan, that was his only response.
No, obviously, inbreeding is bad.
We have known this since before we even understood what genetics were.
This is what Josh has to repeat to himself in the mirror every time he goes to a family gathering.
Inbreeding is bad, Josh.
Inbreeding is bad.
However hot your cousin is, don't resist her.
Just say no.
Just say no.
If you feel temptation, don't go to a family gathering.
Hashtag no to your cousin.
That's why people hate Christmas.
Maybe they don't like family gatherings.
Okay, so we have here by my friend Paula Donopoulos, Holy SHIT.
It's arrived in Greece.
Javed Aslam, a Pakistani community leader in Athens, has called for thousands of Pakistanis to raise their voices so that cousin marriage permitted under Islam can be legalized in Greece.
Atrocious.
This shouldn't happen.
As I said before, this has zero place in Greece or in the Western world at large.
Why is Pakistan so obsessed with marrying their cousins?
I know that.
Like, even other parts of the Islamic world look at them like, what on earth is wrong with you?
So there are reports that this is very widespread in Pakistan, but also in the Pakistani community in the UK.
There are reports, according to which, you know, it's up to 65%.
And also have here the central Josh Fern Post.
First cousin marriage, Pakistan, 65%, Saudi Arabia, close to 50%, Afghanistan, 40%, Iran, 30%, Egypt and Turkey, around 20%.
And as Josh says here, in particular rural areas of Pakistan, it's up to 80%.
And in the West, it's less than 1%.
I think that this is terrible and atrocious, and it just shouldn't be allowed.
And there is a threshold that shouldn't be crossed in the name of multiculturalism.
way beyond that threshold i um don't know whether you're going to get onto it about um the the consequences in terms of oh you've got the research paper now Never mind.
This is the one that I quoted and it did the rounds, even got shown on Fox News.
So if you're into the mood of reading a scientific paper about the issue, about why it's a bad thing to have sex with your cousins and actually have children with your cousins, definitely check the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, a review of the reproductive consequences of consanguinity.
This sounds a bit scientific.
So, I'm going to actually help you to understand it a bit better.
Right.
So, I'm going to give you some statistics here and explain to you why it's a bad thing.
Right.
So, they're saying that when it comes to the risk, Harry, I like the way you're looking at me.
What is it?
Oh, I'm just listening.
Yeah, you're immersed to the.
He's thinking of his cousins.
That's what he's saying.
Oh, yeah, clearly.
You're thinking, you know, the days of old.
Good childhood memories.
Almost certain almost all of my cousins are men.
I don't even know what they're saying.
Even then, I don't even know.
Just don't.
That's what they all say, Harry.
Oh, I actually don't really.
It's kind of bad.
Right.
So there are some objective issues with it.
They're saying that the chance that there are going to be birth defects in a couple that isn't first cousin couple are close to 2%.
2 to 3%.
And they're saying that as an absolute number, the risk is double when it comes to first cousin marriage.
Now, this may sound a bit of a low risk if you're really into your cousins, because you may say, well, it's 2 to 3%.
Well, 46% still lives with a 94% to 96% chance that there isn't going to be an issue.
But in fact, this is just the beginning of a deal.
These are absolute numbers.
When we go down to the relative risk, it gets much higher, especially.
I've actually found my original post where I broke down the data.
Of course, being a great big research scientist nerd, I was able to go through all of the existing papers and pick out the most interesting stuff.
So a 2002 study revealed that while Pakistani babies made up 4% of births, they accounted for 30% of defects.
This is in the UK.
And in 2013, a larger study found that 37% of babies with birth defects were from Pakistani first cousin marriages, which is a 37 times over-representation.
Absolutely.
And that's what we were talking before.
It's not just an issue of possibility.
It's also an issue of probability.
And this may sound as an absolute number a relatively low risk, but there are many factors that within particular couples, they make the risk sky high.
Well, 4% of births and 30% of birth defects, and that was in 2002.
So it's going to be worse now.
Yes.
Is astronomical.
And they're saying that there are several factors that are increasing the probability in particular couples.
And when it has, it has to do with the autosomal recessive genes.
And if both parents have it, there is a very high because they're sharing, if they're a first couple marriages, they're sharing 12.5% of their GDP of their DNA.
I'm sure they're sharing their GDP as well.
Yeah, actually, that's part of the reason, rationale.
The economic arguments for marrying your cousin.
Stellios has become the NHS.
Oh, no, it's going to be a lot of fun.
You may find it surprising, but these arguments are routinely given.
Yeah, that you can't.
We are going to talk about them in this very segment, Harry.
In a few minutes, we are going to talk about the GDP.
Samsung's got a look on his face behind the screen of just pure pain.
No, it's actually true.
So the thing is that when both parents have the autosomal recessive genes, there is a very high chance that both of them are going to give it to their children.
And if they give it to their children, the children are going to have severe birth defects.
And the chances there are 25%.
So the probability increases a lot.
That's not good odds.
A one in four chance of having a child with birth defects.
You know, that's worse than a dice roll.
Yeah.
And you could say also that if there are extra factors that are raising the chances, it's even worse.
And they're saying the family history, but also many, many, many such cases in the past and in the family line, they're increasing the chance.
So this is something that shouldn't happen.
And it actually contributes.
It's such a great risk that it literally ruins lives.
It ruins the lives of these children.
They're suffering.
You can see it.
You can watch documentaries.
This isn't something that is humane or something.
They're literally suffering.
And they have all sorts of issues like blindness, deafness, and also complex neurological disorders.
Well, it's interesting how inbreeding affects your psychology because it makes you obviously more stupid.
It also makes you more fanatical and a whole host of unusual things that you wouldn't necessarily expect.
But it sort of explains the phenomenon of how Pakistanis behave uniquely, appallingly in both Pakistan and outside of it, actually, in the sense that they can just be, you know, immune to the morally outrageous things that they're doing to other people because they can't even necessarily comprehend it because of this background of their genetics, basically.
Well, if it is a particular biological challenge, it's definitely not helping one person.
But also, you could say that there's the deontological argument of don't do it to, don't take such a high risk that it's going to ruin your life's child.
That's the deontological.
But there are also other arguments that are of another sort.
You could say that, for instance, it poses a massive strain on society.
So there are overwhelming reasons for society to reject it.
And treatment for these diseases is often lifetime treatment, lifelong treatment, and also multidisciplinary.
And one thing I want to say about Greece in comparison to the UK, my Greek compatriots, you really know that we have a culture of over-prescription.
So if a culture of overprescription meets with a cultural change of this sort, it's going to create an even more massive strain for Greeks than the strain that exists in the UK for the UK taxpayer.
So this is just, if you don't care about children, and you say, well, it's their child, I don't care, focus on that argument.
I'm just being curious here.
do you mean by over-prescription as in you mean literally people get prescribed when they don't need to medications and stuff through health services for Frequently, yeah.
Okay.
Yes, and there is a propensity to think frequently that, you know, I don't feel well.
Let's go and take medicine or something.
Is Greece a hypochondriac culture?
We'll talk about it another time.
There are hypochondriac people.
there are I mean it's just it's I just wouldn't expect it But I don't know about how many and the probability of it in the German population, but there is a culture of over-prescription.
I know this from the inside of the medical industry.
Right?
Okay.
Let's look here.
This is an article you can read from Bradford.
NHS recruits nurse to help cousin marriage families.
So part of the, when we listen constantly to the argument that the NHS is understaffed and underfunded, well, sometimes, you know, these the gap of funding is not actually a gap of funding.
It's actually the NHS asking money for totally preventable diseases.
And when we hear about lack of personnel that is going to, you know, join the ranks of the NHS, the question is: why do these jobs exist in the first place?
Could the need for them not exist if, for instance, some practices were banned and children weren't paying for political correctness?
And also the average taxpayer wasn't paying for political correctness.
Well, what is in effect happening is that the UK taxpayer is taking part in some sort of genetic experiment to see the lengths in which cousin marriage can be carried on, I suppose, because it's particularly bad in Britain as well.
One of the reasons that it happens is that the Pakistanis here don't have as many Pakistanis as in Pakistan, and therefore they're more likely to do it.
I'm not saying that.
So they have to.
I'm just saying that they're more likely to be in contact with their family because there isn't as large a social circle other than obviously the community itself.
And so that's something that's been put forward as a reason for them being as a health awareness issue.
We're currently subsidizing an experiment to see how degenerated Pakistanis can get.
But it's also an issue of ghettos sometimes.
The more ghettoized an area is, the more likely that number is to go up.
And this is also in countrywide Pakistan, as you mentioned before.
In particular rural areas, the number could be up to 80%.
It has to do with ghettos and multicultural ghettos instead of the push to integrate and the push to come to terms with medical consensus.
Although, of course, and I'm sure you agree with me here, that I think the cause for integration of these people is long gone.
Cousin Marriage Controversy00:09:26
And I think that the best thing is that they're not in your society in the first place.
We have Richard Holden here, who in 2024 tried to pass the marriage bill to ban this.
And it was voted down by the UK Parliament.
Sadly, we have Kier Starmer blocked the ban, the proposed ban on first cousin marriage to avoid offending the UK's large immigrant Muslim population, more than half of whom marry their first cousins despite their serious health effects of inbreeding, which compound over generations.
So the problem is that Kier Stammer doesn't want to be labeled as a racist, and because he doesn't want to be labeled as a racist, he is fine with this practice continuing.
He's fine with all this pain and suffering felt by the children who are born with these defects.
And he is fine also with overburdening the UK taxpayer for the NHS that seems to constantly be underfunded.
And here we have Iqbal Mohammed, who was very emotional in parliament and he was opposing the proposals to ban first cousin marriage.
He was arguing that such a ban would amount to Islamophobia because cousin marriage is part of the culture.
And let me just give you some of the things he says here that I want you to listen to what he says.
The practice continues of sensitive records for many people.
This is a highly, in doing so, it is important to recognize for many people, this is a highly sensitive issue.
And in discussing it, we should try to step into the shoes of those who perhaps are not from the same culture as ours to better understand why the practice continues to be so widespread.
An estimated 35 to 50% of all sub-Saharan African populations either prefer or accept cousin marriages, and it is extremely common in the Middle East and in South Asia.
The reason the practice is so common is that ordinary people see family intermarriage overall as something that is very positive, something that helps build family bonds and helps put families on a more secure financial foothold.
However, the financial foothold.
Here comes the GDP.
So I don't actually hear an argument against banning it and any of that.
I just hear special pleading.
But also, notice that the double standards is other people have to step into their shoes to understand cultures that are foreign.
But, you know, when are cultures that are foreign in the Western world, when will they be asked to understand the rules they have to obey in order to be part of a civilized Western society?
Although I don't have to step into your shoes, I'm paying for it, buddy.
It's also worth mentioning as well that even the economic argument, even if you take that at face value, it doesn't make sense because surely having a one in four chance of having a child that is disabled and potentially has learning difficulties and a whole host of other different psychological and physical problems outweighs the benefit of keeping the money in the family.
Yeah.
Because then you've got a well, I suppose the state pays for it, but still, you would rather a productive member of your family than a financial burden.
But there you go, though.
The state subsidizes it.
Yeah, and so we're sort of battery farming disabled Pakistanis with the current incentive structure of our welfare system.
So here is a documentary called When Cousins Marry, which is a very interesting documentary.
I don't have time to play it.
This is from seven years ago.
Definitely check it out.
Sorry, just comment.
Just go down.
Just that first comment gives me an idea of the kind of excuses that they give in this.
The mother blaming the doctors for a genetic disease is crazy.
That's a completely backwards cause and effect that we're dealing with just to excuse it.
That's close to the 23rd minute, by the way.
If you want to watch the documentary, but what I wanted to say here is that it demonstrates and the documentary shows a community that is in complete denial of the medical consensus.
And some people say here, well, it worked in my case, so that's it.
It's okay.
And my children should do the same if they want to do it.
It's like you sat at a table of Russian roulette and you're just there like, well, I didn't get shot.
This is also coming from a culture that in the 1970s, a senior military official wanted to direct people away from nuclear research to research whether they could harness the power of jinns or genies as a perpetual energy machine and whether it was actually possible to move mountains as stated in the Quran.
Like these are not necessarily scientifically minded people.
I want to show you part of this and I will take some extra time because the previous segments took a while.
Of course.
That's no pun intended, no animosity.
I enjoyed both segments.
I think that this is important to me health problems.
Is it a good patch?
Oh, yes.
In Sheffield, we've got about a population of about 25,000.
What's your view about cousin marriages?
For 800 years, we prefer to marry within our families.
We never be the first cousin, maybe the second cousin or third cousin, but we've married.
I am married for the last 25 years successfully with my first cousin.
And I've got five children.
And thanks to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that they are all fine and well.
I'm married to my first cousin.
I've seen many benefits of it.
You're in the same circle of relatives as your partner and they have a real understanding and often probably go that extra mile.
My wife is my mother's sister's daughter.
Yeah, we are cousins.
Yeah.
So I'm laughing because it's so absurd that they're just candidly saying things that in British society, if you said that with a straight face, you'd never be able to show your face again.
I'm sorry, one of the primary benefits being given there is that, well, you know, you marry your cousin, you don't have to put up with strange new in-laws.
That's literally the one overriding benefit that you can get from it.
You don't have to put up with in-laws because they're your uncle.
They're already your family.
So there are lots of dangers and it's all these reasons just because they happen for 800 years doesn't mean it should continue happening.
And just because in some cases children were lucky and weren't born with birth defects, that doesn't mean that the practice itself doesn't make it very much more likely that something of the sort should happen.
Anyone that comprehends statistics and probability to a European child's level knows that this is not a good thing.
Yeah, they're all just going to be survivorship bias.
To wrap it up, I wanted to tell both to the English and to the Greeks that they shouldn't put up with it for three reasons.
Number one, it's the pain and suffering of the children who are born with defects.
Also, it's the massive strain on the system.
And third, it's also the cultural sort of retreat that you have to accept that somehow why should we just accept that somehow we should stop caring about the medical consensus and start taking risks that are proven and demonstrably proven to be bad.
I also have a fourth one, which is it's gross and immoral and gross and immoral things should be stopped.
And here's a fifth one, which is we banned it over a thousand years ago at this point, I believe, or at least the papacy went out against cousin marriage in what the seventh century.
And there's a decent argument for it being one of the reasons that European culture was able to like grow afterwards to what it became.
So like cousin marriage literally retards your society.
And just look at how the argument that the PM was giving in the UK Parliament doesn't work here and it's completely one-sided and uses double standard.
They're saying we did it for 800 years.
Yeah, but if you want to just check customs, we stopped doing it for more than a thousand years.
Just stop it.
You know, saying my cousin was promised to me 800 years ago is not a good argument.
Like it's like saying I have a tradition of punching myself in the face.
I should be allowed to carry on this tradition.
It's like, well, you know, just because it is a tradition doesn't mean it's good.
No, no, but then you're also having to go to other people and say it's a great tradition.
You should start doing it as well.
Cringe Tradition Debate00:04:01
Start punching me.
It isn't also a cultural retreat.
It comes also with the political muscle flexing of the community that says, Well, if you criticize us in any way, it's Islamophobia.
And that can't be allowed.
If they carry on with that argument, eventually people are going to say, Well, if Islam is synonymous with marrying your cousin, isn't that sort of a really condemning self-report about the nature of the religion?
And to that, their response would presumably be let's go to the comments.
Based ape, I for one support cousin marriage.
Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
Speaking, ape.
Maybe based ape.
Maybe an appropriate punishment for these people is turning them into the human equivalent of pugs.
That's a random name.
Blackpill.
We're being invaded and taken over by.
Can I say this?
We're not on YouTube right now, so yeah.
That's about inbred retards.
White Peel, our enemies are inbred retards.
All we have to do is remove the traitors enabling them.
Emoji with sunglasses.
All right, do we have any video comments before we call it a day?
See, your segment also have a smile on mine.
We also have comments from the website.
Yes, but we have gone over at this point.
Yeah, but why?
Was it my was I responsible for it?
Listen, I'll take some responsibility.
I've got some stuff to record after this, so we can't go too long, man.
But it looks like we don't have any video comments, Samson.
No, really.
We can read comments from the website because it's our people.
We'll go a few minutes reading comments.
It's a mates.
It's alright.
It's alright.
Calm down.
Stelios is a man of the people.
Okay.
Furious Dan says, one step closer to real gun dams.
I don't understand the reference.
George Hap says.
Real Gundams?
Gundam Gundam mobile Gundam suit or whatever it's called, Samson will know is a mech anime.
Okay.
So I'm assuming that they think that the Japanese are going to start building giant human-controlled mega-robots to man the borders of Japan.
It is the fate of the Japanese people to slowly become machines, I think.
No, no, no, no, to slowly become bio-organisms piloting machines.
Close enough.
Basically.
George Hap says, I really hope Japan makes the right choice, but I just don't trust women to do the job.
Remember, Maloney?
That's true.
However, I think the Japanese are uniquely unrestrained, except from international money lenders putting terms of immigration upon them.
But I think with that kind of mandate in the country, you can resist this sort of thing.
All right.
Omar Award, I'm sure you've seen Kemi's attempt at popularity by imitating Trump's McDonald's stunt.
I think the cringe comes from the same place of understanding that things are popular, but being completely disconnected from why and how that insincerity hinders rather than helps their optics.
Well put.
I haven't seen this Kemi thing.
I have.
Thank God I haven't.
I said in response to the picture of it, it's good to see her getting some experience for her next job.
Oof, oof, oof.
Zing.
There are such a weird thing.
She did it because Trump did it.
Just be original.
Go to KFC.
Michael Dre Belbis.
It's the men, it's the women, it's the police.
Screw it.
Just deport the lot back to whatever hellhole they came from.
And the cops that covered this up there, too.
Rupert Bear vs. Paddington Bear00:01:35
Steve Stevens, great name.
As the left has co-opted Paddington Bear for their pro-immigration cause, perhaps we need to take on Rupert Bear for our nativist cause.
Born in Britain, lives in Britain, helps his neighbours, pro-law and order, just a funny little guy who wants to picnic.
We need more Ruperts in politics, not Paddingtons.
I'd forgotten about Rupert Bear.
Thank you.
And Stelios, go through a few of yours.
Ewan Baker, thanks, Stelios.
That intro got me laughing.
Thank you.
The intro was fun, but I don't understand why you were laughing afterwards.
Kevin Fox, leave them alone, Josh.
I thought I was laughing during the segment because I kept thinking about it.
It was a great opening line.
Leave them alone, Josh.
If they want to marry the cousins generation after the generation in Pakistan, let them.
I wasn't saying to interfere, by the way, just to be clear.
I mean, as a scientist, I'm fascinated by the.
Arizona Desert Rat says the Habsburgs are an excellent example of what happens when you marry your cousin.
Michael Drybelbis, look, I get it.
Your cousin's hot and she's got a great rack, but Jesus Christ.
Awesome.
Daniel Butchers.
All that speech about cousin Marges is telling me is that they do not belong in the Western world.
Yep, that's it.
Yeah.
And on that note, that's all we've got time for today.
Thank you all very much for joining us.
It's been a pretty up and down podcast in terms of tone and how depressing the stories was, but I hope you stuck through because there was some good stuff in there.
