The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1355

Rupert Lowe launches Restore Britain, a new party rejecting multiculturalism, promising mass deportations of illegal migrants and strict integration criteria for legal ones—like English proficiency or opposition to British culture. Policies target countries like Albania and Pakistan, strip citizenship from dual-national extremists, and bypass the ECHR, even suggesting a "deportation NATO" for enforcement. Backed by billionaire Duncan Bannatyne and figures like Charlie Downs, Restore contrasts Reform UK’s cautious approach, framing itself as the only party addressing electoral fraud (e.g., Tower Hamlets), crime (25% of 2019 sexual assaults by foreign nationals), NHS strain (752K foreign GPs projected in 2025), and urban decay. Media dismisses it as extremist, but Lowe’s blunt vision—rooted in tradition, faith, and "realpolitik"—could reshape Europe’s right-wing landscape, forcing rivals to confront immigration’s cultural and economic toll head-on.

Behind the Launch 00:03:32
Hello and welcome to the podcast Lotus Eaters episode 1355.
I'm your host Harry joined today by Firaz.
Hello.
And Nate, Mr. H Reviews.
At the State Politics.
At the state of politics.
And today we're going to be talking about the major announcement from Friday that Rupert Lowe has launched Restore Britain as a major political party across the nation.
I'm going to be talking about the media response to it.
And Firaz is going to be taking us through the various and many, many benefits of remigration were such a policy to be implemented.
Yes, there are some good things that could happen.
A lot of good things.
A lot of good things.
Oh, you're going to love it.
Yeah, and just a reminder to everybody who's subscribed to the website that you are able to watch a live Real Politik this afternoon at three o'clock.
Yes, we're going to be talking about the revolt of the provinces against Emperor Trump in the Munich Security Conference.
They pretty much lost their minds and decided that they hate America now.
So that's going to be fun.
Fascinating.
Yeah, that'll be an interesting one.
Well, tune into that if you've got a subscription to the website.
With that, let's get into the news.
Well, something happened over the weekend.
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
It's palpable.
It's tangible.
We're going to win.
We're going to win.
Everyone can feel it.
It's in the air.
Rupert Lowe on Friday announced the Restore Britain as a national party.
You remember where you were when you first got the news?
Probably on the drive back home.
Were you elated?
I didn't find out until I got home.
So, yeah, it was good news.
All right, brilliant.
And you were really good.
The whole thing was done perfectly.
Brilliant.
Well, I was sat on my sofa.
I saw this.
I was like, oh my God, yes.
God did a live stream straight away.
Amazing.
It's in the air.
People are happy.
So this is how we launched it, basically.
35.4 million views since it was launched now.
And it was this video.
And I thought we would just watch a little bit of it.
I'm going to sort of stop start it and talk about some bits and pieces of it and just sort of go through it, basically.
Can't hear anything, I don't think.
No, I can't hear anything either.
Fantastic.
Can we get some sound?
That'd be brilliant.
Have we still not fixed this problem?
This is kind of an important one to have this problem fixed for.
I believe this is most of the segment.
Is it?
Yeah, I mean, there are multiple things that I would like some sound for.
That would be great.
Have we got a television remote in here?
Maybe it's just muted on our end.
Can the audience hear it?
Can we have sorry, folks?
I can hear it.
Behind the I don't know, he said a few seconds.
Behind the scenes, Harry, different from me, I'm not just talking to myself, is trying to resolve this problem very quickly.
A Phantom Samson has appeared behind the scenes as well to check everything.
Nate, I'm ever so sorry.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Definitely not an important segment to have great technical.
Clearly, we have little Tories in the wires trying to sabotage everything.
Oh, little reform wet.
Alex Phillips has infiltrated the building.
That's it.
That's it.
I think one of the key things about it was how thoroughly English it was.
We Think in Seasons, Generations 00:03:54
Oh, it's how the messaging of it, not mega messaging, very understated, very to the point, focusing on the actual issues and promising hardship as a way forward, which is really the only way for anything good to get done.
You've got to suffer through it.
Yeah, well, let's sort of A general overview of this whilst the problem is being sorted, and then perhaps we can talk about specifics if we can hear in the audience.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So, Rupert chose to make the announcement on a farm, which visually and philosophically is an incredibly profound location to do it.
Yes.
Because it speaks to the very heart of England, Britain as a whole.
And he's using it as an allegory for what has been robbed from the natives.
And he effectively says as much.
On the farm, we don't think in election cycles.
We think in seasons, we think in generations.
And that is what has become so just out of the realms of possibility for politicians to consider.
Yes.
I've got to think four years down the line, three years down the line.
Got to think of popularity.
Got to think of blocks, a lot of them, ethnic blocks of voters.
I've got to think short term as opposed to actually thinking in philosophical terms, which is what is good for the future of my children.
And how should I approach politics based on the fact that it's a generational game?
It's not a today and tomorrow game.
That was really the power of it, as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, no, exactly.
I mean, and that's what especially spoke to me.
Oh, here we are.
Here we go.
Thanks.
Thank goodness.
Thank you very much.
Anyway, so we'll listen to this.
I have chosen to speak to you today from the farm because places like this represent what proper Britain is about: hard work, responsibility, effort, duty, stewardship.
This is the England.
These are beautiful words, right?
And this is the England that I love.
On a farm, you don't think in election cycles or headlines or polling.
You think in seasons.
You think in generations.
In what you leave behind to those who come after you.
So I'm going to stop that there.
And sort of, you know, we've already touched on this a little bit, but I want to hammer that home because it's super important.
You know, this is a nativist party for the natives.
Yes, he's also made clear for those that actually are coming here on merit, wanting to integrate all those kind of things.
Sure, sure.
But specifically, it's a nativist party for the natives, and it's about realizing that England is our inheritance.
And wanting to integrate into the native culture.
Precisely.
Not into multicultural UK.
Precisely.
Precisely.
There's a difference there.
There's an order of priorities there.
And the order of priorities is what is good for the natives, that is what will be done.
And on that basis, other things will be assessed.
Exactly.
Rather than there's a universal principle that everybody is waiting to touch British soil to become British.
Yeah.
Yeah, but again, to me, what it spoke to me, and I wonder if it said the same thing to you, again, it's that this land is ours.
It's mine.
It's my inheritance.
It's your inheritance.
It's your kids' inheritance, right?
Was that the sort of vibe that you got?
Oh, well, it's certainly not the reform confetti and fireworks and kind of MAGA-esque posturing that you get from the kind of promotional material that they put out.
Pyrotechnics.
Pause For Reflection 00:15:20
Obviously, Restore and the message that they're speaking so far is much closer to something that I agree with than what reform is doing.
And people say with reform they're doing it for electoral viability.
They're doing it for this or that kind of three-dimensional chess reason.
Whereas I would actually just say that reform's messaging can kind of be taken on its face value.
And this is much more promising to me in the face of that.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, excellent.
That's why, here on the farm, I am now launching Restore Britain as a national political party.
I'm now going to dedicate my life to finding, organising, funding, and providing hundreds of qualified candidates to present to the British people at the next general election.
This process has already started, with invitations being issued to patriots in aligned political parties, Reform, the Conservatives, the SDP, Advance, and more.
In local politics, we will work in partnership with localised political parties such as Great Yarmouth First, that have the best interests of their residents at heart, combining our forces at the next general election.
The men and women standing for Restore in that election will not be politicians.
Music to my ears.
Music to my ears.
Well, let's head something off here that I've heard some people saying as a criticism, more of those supporting Restore than of the parties that they're supporting, which is that they say that people are very critical of reform for taking in Tory MPs and ex-Tory ministers, whereas Restore are not being criticised anywhere near the same level.
When Rupert says explicitly here that he's happy to take MPs and some people from parties like the Conservatives.
And I think there are a few differences here, which is one, reform are overtly taking like members of the previous governments, members of Boris Johnson's government.
Actual failures and traitors.
Yes, people who have a proven track record of the largest immigration wave, legal immigration wave, that this country has ever seen in its history.
And also draconian measures in terms of, no, we're going to pin you down and shove something in your arm and make you walk around with a passport to show that you've got this.
And high-level corruption.
High-level corruption on many levels.
You've been looking into some of the stuff that's been written about some of the insider workings of the Tory Party.
Because as well as that, it's not just necessarily just because we dislike the Tory party does not necessarily mean that we believe that every single person who has ever been involved in the Tory party is automatically compromised and automatically a terrible person who isn't on our side.
It's more as well that the structure of the party and the way that it's been governed has a major effect in limiting who can get to the top and what policies can get pushed through.
It's a ludicrous position to say that all Tories, every single Tory ever in existence, are terrible.
That's a ludicrous position to hold.
It just so happens that unfortunately the Tories will only allow local people to be put forward for the electorate when they know they're about to fail.
And those are the good ones, generally speaking.
But there are some good ones that do get through.
More than that, there is a fundamental difference between Janrik, who oversaw the Afghan plan to bring in people from a country where 99% support Sharia law.
Yep.
And that was documented by Pew versus somebody who was in the Tories, opposed certain things, supported certain things, stuck with a party, now is looking for a new home.
So these things are qualitatively different things.
And the idea that you should approach this with zero nuance is not tenable.
Yeah, it's just a...
And similarly, reform have shown themselves to behave in a similar manner to the way that the Tories did, given that we know that reform were using hope-not-hate as a netting service for their own candidates.
I would not be shocked at all.
Well, let's watch a little bit.
It's quite long, actually.
Let's watch a bit more of this.
I promise you that.
They will not be failed ministers.
They will be tainted by failures of the past.
They will be from business, from the military, from science, from medicine, from education, from industry, representing real communities up and down the country.
Pause there for a second.
So one of the things that made the Conservatives the natural party of government was the local association structure.
Where essentially, if you were successful in your local community and you were a representative of the fishermen, you could then be elected as a representative because you reflected this exact idea.
That was the key strength of British democracy, that it was hyper-local, in that the Conservatives would select from these communities people who these communities wanted.
And that meant that you constantly had to be in debate with the local associations to find a big tent compromise based on British traditions and British principles.
As opposed to you parachute people from anywhere to go to your safe seats and you insert them there, as was done with Rishi Sunak with Richmond, and then you decide to elevate them.
So if this is going to be the model, this is a return to a very British tradition and a very British way of doing things.
But not only that, it's also a smart model, right?
Like this model does actually work.
Exactly.
You know, rather than just hiring people that are a career politician.
That's the only model that can make democracy work and not make it retarded.
Yeah, which is what we've seen.
Which is what we've seen.
It has become completely retarded.
It has become controlled by an oligarchy.
And we saw that through Mandelson, and we see that in other arenas.
So this is a huge difference here in that, okay, how are you going to fix British democracy the British way?
Yeah.
Every single one will be from well outside the existing political establishment and every single one will understand the difficult decisions that need to be taken because there are no easy fixes.
I'm not going to tell you comforting lies about the condition of our country.
I have only ever been honest with the British people and I will be straight with you now.
What is necessary will be incredibly painful.
But for the first time in a very long time, voters will have a genuine alternative which is truthful with them about the scale of what now has to be done.
The first priority is to control who comes to our country and more importantly, who stays in our country.
Restore Britain will not just stop mass immigration.
We will reverse it.
A million voices cried out in hope and joy.
I mean.
And the millions about to be deported cried out in pain.
Again, these are very strong promises.
But straight out of the gate, isn't it?
Straight out of the gate.
Very strong promises.
One of the benefits of Restore having only been a movement slash policy think tank, whatever you'd want to call them prior to them announcing themselves as a party, is that they did take the time to start to formulate policy papers like the re-migration mass deportation paper that they released last year,
which I've spoken to some people about who are more knowledgeable about the British legal system and legislation than I am, who said that while there were a few things that they weren't entirely sure on in there, it was probably the most comprehensive piece of legislation that they've seen written up.
It's more comprehensive than anything reform's done.
And that's why you release it.
You release it to get that feedback.
You follow this process with the objective of tightening it up.
And we also know a lot of the people who, frankly, are behind a lot of Restore.
People like Charlie Downs, people like Harrison Pitt.
And these are smart young guys with drive, ambition, and they know what to aim for, and they have a good idea of how to aim for it.
So all of that is good.
Now, this isn't to say that these guys are going to be like Restore or Rupert or anybody is going to be protected from any criticism in the future if they start to go back on this stuff.
If they start to pull back on, well, we never said we would actually deport people.
Oh, we never said that we wouldn't accept Nadine Doris into the party or anybody else.
Oh, yeah, we'll put this.
We'll put them on blast.
If they start to behave in that way, we will absolutely go for the throat.
But right now, everything that they're saying and everything that we know about everybody in the party, how it's functioning, and the work that they've done over the past year is looking pretty promising.
There's also how everyone involved has been consistent.
Like, that's their consistent stance.
Yes.
So it would be very, very unusual for them to suddenly flip it.
But we'll see.
But it's still worthwhile mentioning.
Yeah.
Every single illegal migrant will be securely detained and then deported.
The message will be unrelenting.
If you are in this country without our permission, you will be removed.
For the foreseeable future, far more people must leave Britain than arrive.
If a foreign national is unable to speak English, lives in social housing, claims benefits, refuses to work, fails to integrate, commits crime, or even actively hates our way of life and wishes to do us harm, then they must leave or be made to leave.
Restore Britain.
Just to clarify on that, that's not an extreme position.
Anyone saying that that is an extreme position, get your head checked.
Sounds perfect.
Give your head a wobble.
That's perfectly normal to me.
It's like the same sort of set of rules that I apply to guests in my own home.
It's the same set of rules that apply near enough across the entire globe, aside from anywhere that is white.
This is the key point.
This is the sensible and moderate position.
The idea that you can just land in a foreign country and live on their expense makes zero sense.
Mental.
I mean, nobody else does that.
You can't go to China and expect to live on the generosity of the Chinese.
It just doesn't work that way.
Whilst actively saying, I hate your culture.
Well, actively saying I hate you and I hate everything about you.
Yeah, exactly.
There is a madness to what has been done.
It's that that is the extreme position.
This is the sensible center.
Yep.
Yeah, exactly.
We'll make our communities safe again for women and children.
That, I promise you.
If that means millions go, then millions go.
We're constantly told that the economy needs vast swathes of low-skilled migrants.
We know that's simply not true.
What we need is to- Is that scorn, isn't it?
I love the sneer.
Low-skilled migrants.
Like he's holding back his gag reflex.
They're talking about automation and AI, but they're saying that you need Pakistani train drivers and Jamaican bus drivers.
Yeah.
Explain it to me.
It's completely insane.
Explain it to me.
Yeah, none of their policies make it.
I'm going to discuss this in my segment.
You see how the British state tries to equalize incomes between different groups because that's been the result of the demographic change and the socialist communist dogma that they believe in.
What was it?
They call it wage compression, where they're just trying to take the lower and upper limits of the average wages in this country and flatten them down to the same level.
That's exactly what the data shows, man.
Millions of healthy Brits back into work.
A radical overhaul of how welfare is delivered.
Protecting those in genuine need, but not funding healthy shirkers to live off the back of hard-working men and women.
If you can work, you must work.
It really is that simple.
Restore Britain will be abundantly clear.
If you consistently refuse work, then you will lose your benefits.
We will punish indolence and more importantly, we will reward success.
We will provide vast economic incentives for men and women to start businesses, generate opportunities, build wealth, and create self-sufficient families.
Standing here today on the farm, I know exactly what it means to deal with energy bills, labor shortages, regulation, unproductive paperwork, planning restrictions, tax, and endless uncertainty.
The state has definitively become the enemy of the people.
And that's absolutely true.
I don't think there's very few people that believe anything queer Stalin has currently done is in the interests of the natives.
None of it is explicable.
If your operating assumption is that this is a man who loves his country and his people, you can't explain any of his actions.
It's mental, yeah.
If your operating assumption is that he absolutely hates them.
Oh, it makes perfect sense.
All of it makes perfect sense.
Yeah, literally.
Well, I mean, hates them and is also completely schizophrenic in how to punish them.
Yeah.
Because he's like done, what, 13, 14 U-turns on policy as people have been documenting.
The man just knows that he hates us, but he doesn't know how to apply it.
Yeah, exactly.
Restore Britain will burn away suffocating taxes on work and enterprise.
We will slash unnecessary regulation.
We will dismantle bloated quangos and the overbearing HR culture.
We must crush parasitic Britain.
We will restore long-term, stable, logical policy so that businesses can plan and invest and grow again.
Can you pause for a second?
When he's talking about the regulation and he's tinkering with the stream, sort of shows you a sort of philosophical picture that the country is meant to work naturally and it's you who have dammed it up or you, the government, who have dumbed it up and clogged it.
Yeah, I love that.
And that's completely true because we, as a nation, the amount that we want to work and do stuff and sort of be entrepreneurial is huge.
I mean, even with everything that's happened, we still grew the tiniest amount because we're still really trying.
0.1%.
I know, it's dreadful, but that's against all odds.
Against all odds.
That was a hard won 0.1%.
Against all odds.
And you sort of see that a nation of shopkeepers is not in fact a slur.
It means that everybody thinks, how can I provide for myself and provide for my family?
Against All Odds 00:15:42
Because it's a community.
You go to the groceries and you go to the butchers and you go to whatever and everybody takes care of themselves and it flows naturally like a river.
So there is a spiritual image there, which I really liked.
Yeah, I like it.
Poor Britain is about much more than numbers on a spreadsheet.
It's about who we are as a nation and who we are as a people.
Britain is not just an economy.
Britain is not just an idea.
Britain is not just a passport.
Britain is a nation.
Britain is a people.
Our people.
Yes.
The one and only party that actually stipulates that.
Yeah, we're not an economic zone.
Just because you get a passport doesn't mean you're British.
Just because you subscribe to these nebulous, vague British values doesn't mean British either.
Yeah, the vibes as well.
Yeah, that can go right in the bin.
It is a people.
It's a nation.
It's a thousand years plus of history.
Bound to a place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Restore Britain will never allow that to be a raise.
We will celebrate our Christian heritage and the identity that built and shaped this country.
Responsibility, restraint, forgiveness, duty, and fairness.
In short, a high trust society.
That will mean defending our culture.
That will mean resisting the relentless creep of radical Islam.
That will mean banning the burqa, outlawing Sharia law, blocking cousin marriages, and reimposing our Christian-based rule of law.
A Restore Britain government would legislate to ensure that no halal or kosher slaughter on British soil.
This is Britain, and we will do things our way.
I like that specifically as well.
And I think I even said it in one of my posts, is that, yeah, this is our land.
English culture should be supreme.
That shouldn't be.
How is that debate?
It's not even an extreme position.
How is that a subject of debate?
If I go to Japan, I want Japanese culture to be supreme.
Right?
Like, that's meant mad.
Mad that we live in this time.
This political party now exists for one reason.
To restore Britain.
To make it a better, safer, and more prosperous place for British men and women to raise their families.
It will be difficult and it will be painful.
But I assure you, it is possible.
I hope you will consider joining me on this journey and becoming a member of our party.
It is our country.
It is now our collective responsibility to act.
Together, we will restore Britain.
Thank you.
I like that there's no sugarcoating it.
No, but it still feels hopeful.
I mean, it's grim optimism.
Well, I was going to say there's a hopefulness to it, but the idea that the hopefulness will pay off 50 or 60 years from now.
I felt hopeful.
Well, no, no, no, no.
I agree.
There's a lot to hope for if they can make everything in there come to pass.
The funny thing is that, again, there was no sort of false optimism displayed there.
Even in the presentation of it, you're watching a man of an older generation on a grim, cloudy day in the British countryside, which has its own particular beauty to it, talk to you about the grim necessity of what needs to be done whilst very dour and sad piano music plays in the background.
There's no MAGA Americanism to it, which would have been inappropriate.
And there's no sort of reform faux MAGA American stuff in there.
This is a much more British composure to this whole thing.
This is British stoicism in the face of adversity.
That's what that is.
To me.
That's what that means.
This is a farmer working through a rainy day.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So, if you haven't signed up already, go sign up.
I did straight away.
Absolutely straight away.
I wasn't full cards on the table.
I wasn't a member of Restore Britain prior to this.
I wasn't interested in joining a lobby group the moment they created a national party.
Boom, you've got my money.
I'm happy to sign up.
More than happy to.
I stand on my own principles.
I believe they've got 50,000 members already.
At the most recent announcement we've made.
Yeah, we're going to get to it.
So this is fantastic.
And then the dominoes have begun to fall.
So we've got Ben Habib.
We won't watch this because we're a little bit tight on time now due to the technical issues.
This is Ben Habib basically announcing I'm going to go to the College of Advance with the express desire and push to merge Advance with Restore Britain.
So that's over 40,000 members that will be merging with Restore Britain.
Now, he's speaking from the perspective of this is going to happen.
He's not saying maybe, if, but to maybe, he's like, I'm going to go there and talk about the specifics of the merger.
It's not if we're going to merge, it's the specifics of.
So, as far as I'm concerned, that's happening in terms of how he's articulated it anyway.
Some people have said he's posted some things lately which may sound like that's not happening.
In the comments to those tweets, he said, No, that's absolutely not the case.
So, I still stand by this.
He's not deleted this either.
So, this is fantastic.
This is the uniting of the right, as far as I'm concerned.
And you've got Elon Musk, he's down for this, that you should combine efforts.
And Ben Habib's like, Yep, that I hope is the plan.
So, again, still pushing for it, still wanting it.
Great, brilliant.
We've even got British elites, Duncan Bannattai, who's an incredibly rich individual.
Half a billion pound net worth.
Yeah, massive, massive, massive amount of money.
Saying, wonderful to hear.
We chat sometime soon.
Now, I cannot stress how important that actually is for members of the upper echelon of British society to break from the status quo, publicly promoting a nativist right-wing party that is promising millions of mass deportations.
That's huge.
Bannatine came out around the same time as Ratcliffe.
Last week, didn't he?
Yeah, and now the floodgates have just opened.
If you're a British industrialist, you have to invest in this.
Yeah.
If you actually make things as opposed to import things, you have to invest in this.
I mean, I think I might see part of it as well.
I've only just noticed in Bannattyne's bio there, he has seven children.
I didn't know that, to be fair.
I mean, fair play to you, buddy.
Good on you, dude.
Fair play to you.
Good on you, dude.
And I thank the Lord every day.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, so that actually goes to the next thing.
He said, who will stand up for the rights of Christians?
So this is a thing.
He has now started to sort of break from the status quo.
He's starting to push this just publicly.
Again, I didn't know he was so base, did you?
This is new to me.
It's new to me as well.
It's brilliant, but it's brilliant to see, right?
Yes.
You know, you've got stupid man here, robot 5,000, queer Stalin, saying my Labour government will stand up for the rights of Muslims.
I'm not interested in that.
I'm not interested in that.
You're not native here.
A prime minister's job and a government's job is the native people, the protection of the native people.
This is absurd, multicultural nonsense.
So good that Bannatine's jumped on that as well.
Now, unfortunately, not everyone on the right wants to jump on board.
Of course, you've got Tenconi here over UKIP being like, no, we stay the course.
We weather the storm.
So, yeah, he's not on board, but never mind, mate, because UKIP's not going to achieve anything, bud.
So, don't you worry about it, I guess.
Enjoy that.
And is this one?
What's this one?
Scroll up.
Scroll up.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, and so just to round it off, because this is comical as hell, all you reform voters, did you want a reform-Tory pact?
I mean, they're basically indistinguishable from one another now, anyway.
But yeah, that's what's being discussed now.
A reform-Tory pact.
I think we should be clear about what some of the problems with such a thing would be in the first place as well.
It's not just that with the Tories that you're pulling over Tory MPs and Tory members and councillors who can all be of varying quality and could, in fact, be good people.
Is the fact that with the Tories, you're also pulling over the entire party structure and all of the people like Michael Gove who are in charge of it, who are not to be trusted.
It's essentially Michael Gove and Dougie Smith.
But also, two power brokers in the Conservative Party.
They're the ones who actually control it.
We've seen where their politics get.
Okay, why try again?
Yeah.
But also, not only that, is reform was the protest vote.
It was the vote to smash in the Tories, get them gone.
Well, well done.
Apparently, if you want to vote for reform at the next election, you'll just get the Tories, which is why.
What a banger tweet there from Nate or Mistage Reviews.
What a brilliant brilliant tweet.
I don't know.
Never heard of it.
Looks rather dashing there in that 30 day.
Anyway, it says vote reform, get Tories, vote restore, get the nativist party working in your interest.
Ratio!
Banger.
Absolute banger.
Anyway.
To be fair, racialing talk TV is not that hard.
I know, but it.
All right.
Give him something, all right.
Give him something.
I still get a small sense of satisfaction from it.
I'm with you.
There you go.
Restore Britain.
Tangible, palpable.
If you want to restore Britain to what it once was, not just merely reforming and sort of tinkering around the edges of the globo-homo multicultural nonsense.
You're either reforming Tony Blair's UK or you're restoring Britain.
Exactly.
This is the division here.
You're either going back to the Cameron Blair days through reform or you're actually restoring.
It's that simple.
So £20.
Join now.
Do it.
May I have the mouse, please?
You may.
Thank you.
I thought that was a banger segment.
Just like that banger tweet there.
All right, anyway.
Glad you're in a good mood today.
I am.
I'm well happy with that.
Yeah, no, it's a good day.
I'll read through some of the higher spenders on the super chats.
Binary surfer has sent two in.
Rupert's video made me think of the scenes from Gladiator with the sunlit uplands speech from Gladiator.
What we do in life echoes in eternity.
He's not BSing that this will be easy.
Something I think we all noted.
There's no false hope being generated.
Also, young men and women are desperate to believe in something, to have hope.
Most people understand the journey ahead is now hard.
Suffering and being tested brings meaning, as Firaz's faith might say.
And OPH UK says, this is going to start the European dominoes.
Enrichment is going to flee to France, which will boil over and vote in Le Pen's party.
Then they're going to flee to Germany, which will boil over and vote in the AFD, etc.
One and hope.
That is something that they're also considering as a possibility for this, which is, I'll go over more in my segment in a moment.
But the idea that there is going to need to be a European-wide coalition, which is something that I think many people have acknowledged for a long while, which is you can't just throw them back over the channel to France and expect France to just deal with that neutrally.
It's going to go one way or the other.
They're going to try and push them back over here, or there will be a more concentrated effort to get them all out of the continent.
Because otherwise, they're just going to be a problem wherever they pop up.
Anyway, should we go to my segment, please, Harry?
Other Harry, reminder, I'm not crazy.
Just talk to yourself.
Can we go to my segment, Harry?
Oh, yes, Harry.
I mean, you were basically doing that a minute ago.
All right, then.
So let's look a little bit more into what's going on with Restore since the initial announcement and also what the general media response to this has been.
Because, of course, the prevailing narrative for the past year or so has been that reform are the only game in town if you're a right-wing party looking to actually get into power in the UK.
And that if you went with anybody else, you weren't going to get anywhere at all.
And to be fair, that has seemed to be it for the past year before this, after Rupert got unceremoniously kicked out of the party, which was a number of different little parties popped up, but none of them really had any chance of getting anywhere.
So now Restore is seeming to be the next big ticket in town next to reform, if you're interested in our side of the aisle.
So how has the media responded to it?
But first.
But first, Euro there.
I was just going to say, definitely they've responded in the most sane way possible.
Of course.
Calmly, politely.
I mean, if they've even responded at all, for the most part.
But so Rupert himself has set out this large post about the immigration party that Restore are putting forward.
Of course, you can read more about this in detail if you go to the Restore website and read their policy paper on mass deportation, remigration.
But here's just a general overview that he's put of the kinds of aims that they're going for that is promising.
I mean, first of all, just the obvious one.
I don't think anybody disagrees with this.
Illegal migrants gone.
All of them.
They'll be deported.
We've released the most comprehensive deportation policy ever produced.
He calls it deportation poetry.
Yeah, we're not living under the pretense that there's women and children coming over now, are we?
We're well, well, way past that.
Way past that.
We're way past that.
But then he goes on to the much thornier subject of legal immigration, which is an area where parties like the Tories and like reform don't like to step.
They don't want to talk about this sort of stuff because not only do they see this as an ideological landmine, they also see the people who've come in over the past few years as potential future constituents for their own parties.
Nigel Farage has said himself that they don't want to alienate the Muslim bloc just in case because they might be able to rely on their votes in the future.
But of course, that would be dependent on offering a policy platform that is going to be desirable to British Muslims.
He said categorically, we would lose.
Yeah, just a small point here.
It's not that the Muslims aren't interested in antagonizing you or in taking you on.
It's not reciprocal in any way.
They're perfectly happy to say to you, we are here to take over.
We are going to apply Sharia law eventually.
We will outbreed you, etc., etc., etc.
So it is incredibly one-sided not to accept that there is a conflict.
No, of course, I would say it's naive as well.
You're just burying your head in the sand.
So they are actually going for legal immigration here as well, saying that for the foreseeable future, far more people will leave than enter.
Entire visa routes will be closed off from certain countries that are proven to supply us with sex pests, criminals, illegals, Islamists, and the rest is vital and underpins the entire policy.
Who would be on that red list?
Albania, Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan, plenty more.
So it's not a closed list there.
It could go on forever.
He says, if a foreign national is entirely unable to speak English, they will be asked to leave.
How can somebody possibly contribute if they cannot communicate?
They can't.
They should go home.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Red List Visa Routes Closed 00:02:08
And it's worth noting here as well that in interviews like on the Winston Marshall show as well, Rupert has shown that he is ultimately still of a civic nationalist mentality where he said he doesn't care about culture.
He doesn't care about colour.
He's not discriminating in that way in a very 1980s Thatcher manner.
He believes in merit, quite similarly to Farage, but in terms of the actual well, not necessarily one-to-one.
It does seem to be a carryover between everything he's saying and that potential offshoot benefit that the ethnats want as well.
No, of course, in terms of what needs to be done and the strength of character to do so, Lowe seems to demonstrate that he's got a little bit more of what we're after.
Yeah.
And he's certainly willing to stick to his convictions in this way.
He says a foreigner claiming benefits and living in social housing will be asked to leave.
Dual national extremists will have their citizenships stripped and then deported.
If an individual surrenders his second citizenship in an attempt to fraudulently remain in Britain, we will take the necessary steps to reverse that process and deport them.
This is a recurring theme here, I'm sure you have gathered.
ILR, the independent leave to remain, will be abolished in its entirety.
The Boris Wave will be reversed.
Now, this will also require heavy structural overhauls with how all of these systems work, as far as I can tell, mainly involving stepping over the ECHR, whether that means leaving it or simply passing legislation allowing parts of the British government to just step over it entirely.
We'll see what happens.
But this could be affected, but it will require some big structural change to the governance of this country, which again, like everything else we're talking about here, frankly, if the country is to continue to be recognizable in any way, is going to need to happen one way or another as it is, because the way that the country is structured in its governance right now, it's a recipe for ambitious immigration.
Structural Reform Needed 00:14:24
But it can be done because parliament in this country is sovereign.
So you can easily do this.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
There's definitely a will here.
And this is one of the most important things as well, because this is something that I've had concerns over that I don't often hear people talking about when they talk about mass remigration, nasty deportations, and all the difficulties that will come with that.
And that's one of the refreshing things about this is the acknowledgement that it will be difficult in that there is always the threat that a country, say for instance, Pakistan, say if you're sending Nigerians back, if you're sending Afghanis back, that maybe their government just says no, we don't want them.
Or maybe the governments on the way say, no, we're not going to let these people pass through our country.
There is always a hostile nature to these kinds of geopolitical negotiations.
And so there needs to be a plan for what we do in those cases.
And he says here, then we'll threaten them.
Foreign aid is a huge piece of leverage that we still have over a lot of these countries.
Visas, remittances.
We could simply claim any and all remittances that are sent out of these countries, out of our nation to these countries.
We just seize them and say, you take these people back, or we'll just hold on to this money and not let any of these people send any more money because these countries.
But these countries, a lot of them, rely heavily on remittances.
A lot of money goes into India, for instance, from remittances.
Somalia is effectively their entire economy is built on remittances.
And if you're talking about America as well, America, Mexico basically relies on remittances, as far as I can tell, from Americans as well, or at least Mexicans in America.
Push to work with the Americans and others.
He claims a deportation NATO may be necessary.
And this is what we're talking about.
Alliances with other European countries, presumably in this situation with friendly foreign governments.
So we're going to have to assume as well in this case that we have a right-wing party in France, a right-wing party in Belgium, a right-wing party in Germany, like the AFD.
But this is all necessary.
I've been arguing that there's another way.
If you recognize proto-states like Eastern Libya or like Somaliland and say we will give you X amount of investments in exchange for taking X many people, you pretty much solve the problem.
And then from these third party countries, you will see that their governments, that the governments of the people who are deported will figure out a way to get them back.
So there is a solution that bypasses a lot of this stuff if you're just willing.
Yeah, of course, but it's whether they're going to be willing or not to cooperate in that way.
And he does leave the little contingency at the end here saying we will take a small number of ultra-high-skilled migrants on one condition: that it benefits the British people.
So it's nice, at least the door is still being left open there.
So you can't say he's just like a mindless bigot or something, but there's a pretty strong condition attached to it.
He is also saying that rules and fees around spouse visas will be eased for individuals from non-red list countries.
So there's another condition added here.
It's nice that even with the stuff that some will say he's not going hardline enough on, that he does still have pretty strict conditions that are attached to this.
Fraud will be crushed.
Hard-working British men and women have every right to bring their foreign spouse to Britain and raise a family.
That will be celebrated and encouraged.
So, what I'm reading into that, and let me know if this sounds a bit too cope or something, is that he's basically saying you can bring your fit slav wife back with you.
You can bring your fit slav wife, that's okay.
But if you've some reason picked up an Afghani wife or something, you're staying over there.
I'm all for fit slavs.
Women, I think, well, well, there you go.
Come on.
I think that's a pretty big difference.
They've got to qualify these things.
And he's just saying how many deportations will all of this result in?
Millions.
So, right from the bat, you can say what you want about whether this is a good delicious sustains me.
You can say what you want about how this may optically look to some constituents around the country right now, but they've set out their goals.
They've set out the reality of those goals straight from the start.
So you can't say that one, they're being unambitious, and you two can't say that they're going to try and lie to people as it stands right now.
Of course, that could change in the future if they start to walk all of this back.
But it's a very strong policy to stand on, alongside with other policies that I assume that they are going to develop in the future as well.
He's gone, he's carried on with a lot of this stuff as well.
Apologies, folks.
We had to restart the computer, so all of these links will probably load as I'm going through them.
Either way, this there you go.
Oh, I just love when everything works.
Either way, this was a tweet from Rupert Lowe that I brought up where he said, Yep, there we go.
Restore Britain will put the safety and well-being of British women ahead of third-world sex pests who have broken into our country and now freely roam the streets.
We do not give an S about their human rights.
So, again, presumably, structural reform will need to go on there because there's a lot of international legislation about human rights that forces you to care about these people who are just coming into your country to abuse all of these rules.
I mean, the thing is, women are advertised in the migrant gang's social media posts as one of the incentives to come to Britain.
There's that discussion.
So, there's disgusting videos up in Manchester, I believe, isn't it?
Where it's just these little urchins going around filming English whip.
You're not seeing this.
No, I'm just thinking of some of the other initiatives around the country.
I think, was it in Wales where a primary school got all of the little girls to write Valentine's Day cards to refugees?
Absolutely.
Now, you have the Greens doing this again.
I think it was the Greens that I'm thinking of, Jenny.
Just lunacy.
I don't think any of these links are going to load.
It's right.
Just keep going.
Oh, Twitter's down.
Twitter's down, folks.
So that's great fun.
I'll just read through some of my notes.
More stuff from the Restore account saying that a passport, a British passport, doesn't make you British.
That went patient.
Lost their collective minds.
It's so true.
It's so elementary.
It's so true.
Oh, wait, is it coming back up?
Are we back?
No, we're not.
No, keep going.
No, I'll just keep going.
Charlie Downs, of course, has been pretty hard on all of this stuff himself.
And I would imagine a lot of this messaging is coming directly from Charlie and Harrison and some of the other young chaps who are heavily involved in Restore Britain, where Charlie went on a long, long essay about how there is no such thing as a fixed set of British values.
These are kind of mutable terms that can shift and morph throughout time.
So therefore, what we should be focusing on is the British people.
And therefore, we need to define who are the British people.
And it is based on ancestry rather than just, again, this mutable set of values, which is kind of like magic words thrown out there.
Just nebulous, non-it's nebulous, magic words thrown out there to justify them being able to values would essentially mean that everybody in Britain in 1200 AD would be considered not British.
Exactly.
Which is an obscene.
Anybody prior to Blairism.
Anybody prior to Blairism is not in fact British.
So that's just laughable.
This is still here, which is nice.
And this one, I just wanted to highlight the messaging because Charlie does say this in the little video clip where he says, it's not about left or right anymore.
It's establishment versus anti-establishment.
And personally, I think this is actually a fantastic line to go with because what it actually does, instead of just dividing people down political lines, if the party are able to maintain this kind of distinction here,
it does invite disaffected people from all over the political spectrum who can recognize that there is a lot wrong with the country and the way that it's managed right now to invite them into the party and create a larger coalition while still recognizing all of these values and positions that the party is set on.
I think that now is not the time for this kind of divisive left-right distinction.
As much as the left is a real thing and the right is a real thing and there are huge differences between them, if there's any time to start to unite British people and invite British people who have been misled by the political divide in this country onto the right side of things, then I think now is the time.
And a party like Restore Britain could do this because it's important to remember, British people who believe in multiculturalism and diversity and all of these modern values, they didn't get hatched out of an egg this way, right?
They are part of a larger cultural structure that imposes these values on them.
Most of these are normal people.
Obviously, you get the fringe freaks, right?
But most of these are normal people who've simply gone along with the prevailing culture of their time.
They've just seen the surroundings and seen what's easiest to go along with, and they've gone along with that.
So if we can bring those people over to our side and get that out of their minds, I think that's a good thing.
I don't want to see any British people suffer.
Perhaps that's controversial, but that's where I'm going to plant my flag, damn it.
Again, so we go to some more of the messaging, Charlie going on GB News, who have been one of the only larger broadcast networks to actually want to talk about this party in any great detail.
They were late on it, though.
They were late on it.
Very late.
But still.
Still, though.
Here's the thing.
I think that whether or not you cover Rupert Lowe will define your relevance.
And if you don't, it will kill your relevance for most of the country because the media landscape has changed so much.
People who support reform or the conservatives will tend to watch GB News.
If GB News doesn't cover Rupert Lowe, somebody who does cover them will get their viewership.
So they're stuck having to cover him no matter how they, you know, the management, shall we say, feels about his project.
Yeah, very true.
And so how is everything, how is the political scene reacting to it?
Well, you can see here from Steve putting up the betting odds on the party jumping overnight from 33 to 1 for the next general election overnight to 14 to 1.
So, you know, that could be just a blip.
That's incredible.
That could just be a blip because of all of the hype because they're a brand new party and all of the announcement and stuff.
But that is promising and it shows that they are putting forward a message that is resonating with a fair few people.
You have people like Tom saying that he's joined already.
And you have, again, like mentioned in the last one, Elon.
Now, I think Elon could be a double-edged sword personally, frankly, mainly because there is a certain clownishness.
There's a stigma attached to it.
There's a certain clown world stench around Elon, from my perspective.
And there is also this now, there's the MAGA ties and his flip-flopping on whether he's pro or anti-MAGA.
And then just recently, his new Epstein Association.
So while I would never recommend Lowe or the party or anything like that to overtly disavow him, I would say with somebody like Elon, maybe keep him at an arm's length.
You know, don't disavow his support.
That's just me.
But, you know, I think he comes with baggage.
That applies to absolutely everyone that has come out in support of Rupert, though.
You've got Steve Laws, comes of his baggage.
Tommy Robinson comes of his baggage.
There's a particular and much more weighty baggage with somebody like Elon Musk, because Elon Musk could also, it is also so much more influential than somebody like a Steve Laws or even a Tommy Robinson.
But you are right that even the media's already come out trying to attack Rupert on the basis that Tommy Robinson has.
There's lots of attack vectors that they're working with at the moment.
It won't work, though.
It won't work.
Like you mentioned here as well, Duncan said.
But here's how the mainstream media are reporting on it.
So I looked through, there's not much about it on the BBC website.
The most recent one was just this one, just naming him ex-reform MP Rupert Lowe launches new party.
Very perfunctory.
Doesn't give much of an actual rundown of any of their policies or what the party is aiming for, what their statement and mission is.
So it's just like, oh, there's a new party.
Who cares?
Don't pay any attention to them.
Don't pay attention to them.
Brilliant.
GB News did actually put out a proper one saying this, but again, very perfunctory.
Not all of that much information in it.
The Daily Mail only put out this article.
I looked through and couldn't find anything other than just saying, like, Elon's interested in this new party.
The Independent, again, going with ex-reform MP who came to blows with Farage, launches new political party with very similar name.
Great analysis right there.
That's, I never noticed that both of the parties start with R at the beginning of them.
This is the highbrow independent.
Incredible independent analysis right there.
My favourite one, though, was now my favourite headline from Searchlight, of which there aren't many, which is, online Nazis hail our leader as Rupert Lowe launches new party.
Online Nazis Hail Leader 00:16:16
And this is, of course...
They hail him, do they?
Yeah.
Yes, this is, of course, pointing out that people like Steve Lowe's and friend of the show, Steve Lowe's, Steve Laws, and friend of the show and guest Callum Barker are supportive of it.
I'm sure they've done something, or there's some weird lens stuff going on, because that's not what Callum looks like.
Unless he was ate Callum.
I was going to say, unless he's been indulging in a few of the pork pies over Christmas and New Year's, but you know, it's been a little while since we've seen him.
Fanatical Nazi.
Now, this is talking about the fanatical Nazi Zuma historian, who, even though he's been doxxed, they got his name wrong.
Congratulations there.
But obviously, you actually have to read through the article for this, but they've put the subheadal fanatical Nazi over a picture of Rupert Lowe.
So, I wonder what association they're trying to draw there.
They do sadly have to note, though, that we've no reason to believe that Lowe himself is a Nazi or an anti-Semite.
But he has to accept responsibility for a stream of extremist rhetoric online that's obviously designed to appeal to the most racist elements of reforms, activist-based, trying to prize them away from Farage.
So, searchlight coming out saying that no, reform need the Nazis.
That's what I'm taking from that little statement there.
That's just so strange.
So, across the pond, we have the reaction of noted political influencer Asmund Gold, who got a lot of views on this video that he did on YouTube.
I think it got over a million views in just a few hours, where he was saying, If I was in Britain, I would vote for this guy.
Absolutely, this is the guy.
And we can contrast all of this now against the reaction from Reform, which has been somewhat muted, and there's been very, very little acknowledgement, at least within the public sphere, that there is even this whole new party that former member Rupert Lowe has said.
Now, what I was expecting, and what seems to be the case, is that reform would take note, not acknowledge it publicly, and maybe shift a little bit of their messaging just ever so slightly rightwards to try to maintain interest from those members of the party, from those supporters of the party who might be inclined to switch over to Restore instead.
So, the most you get is somebody like Zaya Youssef putting out a post like this saying that we need mass deportations.
As far as I'm aware, Zaya is one of the ones who's actually been more consistent on this line.
And unfortunately, for reform, really, Zaya is one of the more professional and serious-seeming people within the party.
And I'm not a fan of Zia, so it doesn't really seem to paint the doesn't seem to be great.
There's the reminder of back in the day, last year, what's his name?
Richard Tice.
I can't believe I oh, he's such a forgettable figure, but either way, Richard Tice saying that, oh, I'll basically be dead by the time that the country is a minority English at this point, anyway.
So, I don't really care all of that much.
Directly contradicting Restore's messaging of generational inheritance for Landers.
That's the fundamental point, right?
That's the key question.
I didn't see any it was crickets from Richard Tice on his Twitter account on anything to do with Rupert or Restore.
And so, we'll see if in the next coming weeks that he starts to change his tune on that a little bit to keep anybody who might be at risk of moving over, or if Reform perhaps calculate that they don't want anybody who would be evil and right-wing enough to go over to Restore and so maintain the course that they're going and allow those votes,
allow those people to be siphoned off to Restore instead, which would be an interesting strategy because that would be even further aligning themselves with the kind of centrist Tory platform.
Nigel Farage very recently just came out and said on political thinking that being English is about how you feel and has nothing to do with ancestry.
Again, a very, very poor counterpoint to Rupert's much stronger stance and the party's stronger stance taken on such a thing.
And one of the other things, one of the problems with restore, sorry, with reform, right, is like with somebody like Elon, there is a heavy cloud of clownishness that hangs over the party.
That being that, for instance, Nigel Farage, their leader, still engages in cameo videos where people pay him pittance at a time to read any message that they want.
A recently endorsed ex-child enjoyer who got killed in prison, the Lost Prophets guy.
Yeah, came out and endorsed him.
Probably Britain.
Most notorious paedophile.
Yeah.
Oh, being careful of the words of it.
Yeah, but for a that's that's all right.
But for a price of what, 80 euros, I think the cost is.
Somebody put it down in the replies.
Yeah.
Price, 80 euros.
Right?
For the price of 80 euros, Nigel Farage did a video endorsing him, which just smacks of a complete lack of judgment from him.
And it just means that, you know, in the future, obviously Donald Trump has a lot of old clips that you can post of him back in his old reality TV days.
But you can't find a clip necessarily of Donald Trump saying something as ridiculous as this.
I want to wish you, Nathan, Harry, Lynn, Haraza, Grad, a great pog day.
And I've got to tell you that Big Jungus sends his regards.
Is this AI?
No, this is a real video.
There's dozens of these.
There's dozens of people.
This is tame.
Like, I knew this.
Yeah, this is tame.
This is tame.
This is tame.
He said so much worse stuff.
So much worse stuff.
And this is of being ignorant.
This was in response as well to a post that Farage put out a few days ago saying that he can't be bullied, he can't be bought.
He says the guy who accepted Mohammed Zir Yousfin for a price of 200 grand.
Shut up, you clown.
But the most talking about the most notable, the most notable response, and the only real one that has acknowledged that restore is a thing publicly, has been Matt Goodwin.
Ah.
Who, in response to somebody pointing out that he courts a lot of the Sikhs in his constituency, says, British Sikhs have done more than most to take on the grooming gangs.
Yeah, the Sikhs organized against the grooming gangs, but the English did as well.
But no.
I think that's just a complete.
It's an important distinction: the Sikhs organize against the grooming gangs in their own ethnic enclave.
They didn't work to help anyone else.
They didn't warn anyone else.
It was just within their own ethnic enclave.
This is fair.
That's all that they did.
Some individuals were helpful.
Yeah, sure.
But it was at the individual level, not at the communal level.
Yeah, exactly.
And because it doesn't change the point that what you're getting is racialized ethnic politics, one way or another, with all of the goodwill in the world towards the Sikh community.
That's not the issue.
It's still a different example.
It's a terrible example to bring up.
And to be like, oh, well, you're racist.
Oh, shut up, you clown.
Well, yeah, it's just the fact that reform have shown that if you go a little bit too off-message for them, if you go just a little bit outside of their comfortable zone, they'll revert to type and just call you a racist.
When we're in a demographic crisis, which Matt Goodwin has acknowledged and written about himself, if you have the gall to be a little bit too angry about it or a little bit too blunt about it, he will revert back to mid-2000s Blairite name-calling, just saying that you are a racist, you are evil, I don't want anything to do with you.
And he's actually not doing a great job here by just saying, oh, there's so much blatant racism that surrounds pro-restore accounts.
Your own constituents or people who are looking at reform as a viable party might look at that and say, oh, I'm not welcome then if you think that because let's be honest, this is a bit of light jabbing.
Well, it's funny because, well, one, when all of the media was trying to say that Nigel Farage was basically a Nazi, his polling went up.
So maybe calling pro-restore accounts racist probably isn't actually the right thing you want to do because any indication implies currently that we've data-wise that we've got is actually people that are reform don't view that as an insult.
In fact, they view that as something which is quite admirable in a dear leader of reform because when he's being accused of being racist, his polling went up.
The word racist today means having a strong in-group preference.
Yeah.
Which is another word for normal.
If you don't prefer your own, then do you have some questions and explanations to address?
Also, there's nothing racist about this.
That is peak UK aesthetic.
It is.
That is peak UK aesthetic.
And that is what you're supposed to be as reform.
You're supposed to be reforming it.
Well, no, I'd like to restore it back to what Britain was, not UK.
The UK can die on its feet for all I care.
I'm not interested.
So that's kind of a summation of most of the responses that I've seen to this thus far.
Matt Goodwin is still kind of going on this test.
So we'll see what happens with him.
We'll see if reform, and this will be the most telling, how reform responds to the new challenge from Restore.
If this does end up being a vote splitter in the future, or if reform even acknowledge it directly, or if they start to maybe change a little bit of their messaging to keep up as restore potentially push things further, or worst case scenario, if restore start diluting themselves down.
But we'll see all of this in the future.
I, for one, am quite excited to see what happens.
If nothing else, it keeps everything nice and interesting for us.
Yep.
So there you are.
Thank you, sir.
There are a couple of behalf if you don't mind.
Dwight Power, I've been eligible to vote for 17 years, and for the first time ever, I feel like there's something worth voting for.
It's a surreal feeling.
I'm glad to hear that.
Kind of is the point, right?
Same as me.
So I just wanted to mention to you that I'll be doing a real politique in around an hour from now.
Please do join me.
Oh, also, Dwight Power, when Restore get into power, I'll happily quit my job and take a pay cut to load people onto boats.
Just put me in, game coach.
I'm ready to go.
Just wanted to read that because it was a $5 one.
All right.
So I wanted to talk a little bit about the benefits of remigration.
What could be some of the benefits?
And let's start sort of slowly with this.
One benefit is people will stop complaining if you say thank you too much and you're actually genuinely courteous.
Ms. Pilau here.
Ms. Pilai.
Pilau.
Whatever it is.
Ms. Pilau Rice.
Her complaint is that British people say thank you too much and that in her mind it should only be for distant strangers rather than close friends and family, even as she complains that people keep saying thank you to their barista.
So this is just like this is you get a coffee, the barista tells me how much you need to pay.
You say thank you.
They take your card for payment.
They say thank you.
They give you the coffee.
You say thank you.
They say thank you for your thank you.
Then you say thank you for their thank you.
This just sounds like, right, frankly, you just sound like an NPC.
Is this your first experience of this article?
I've not read it.
I've seen the headlines.
It's hilarious.
I'm sorry, you're hilarious.
You are an oblivion NPC caught in a dialogue loop, mate.
That's not a problem with manners.
That's a problem with you.
Well, she's an Indian and very clearly from a caste system.
Very clearly.
Represents anyone that serves her in any way, shape, or form.
Thank you for putting it so bluntly.
Yes.
Another benefit is that you will no longer have fly tipping in rivers.
As you saw recently in the Cherwell in Oxfordshire, there was literally a gigantic pile of garbage, a mountain of rubbish that is 150 meters long and six meters high, dumped illegally right next to a river, and it's going to get into the water and it's an environmental disaster.
So that's one potential benefit.
Another one is no more vote rigging in places like Tower Hamlets.
If you remember Tower Hamlets, they had to have their pretty much whole council infrastructure dismantled because Lutfur Rahman was found guilty of corruption.
And then he was banned for a few years and then he ran again.
People from cultures that have electoral fraud may recreate their electoral fraud in this country.
I think it's absolutely insane.
Who would have ever thought that this could happen?
But he is, in case you're wondering, trying or was trying to run again.
I'm not fully followed up on all of the details, but they seem to be continuing with vote rigging in Tower Hamlets with the idea being let's have ethnic networks take control of local councils.
And they keep having huge amounts of money missing out of their budget or unexplained in their budget.
And one wonders how.
I think this was where one of the MPs ended up with a council house sort of jumping the line on that.
Recently it was Tower Hamlets that there's a councillor that actually just lives in Bangladesh at the moment.
And I think there's another one who is for the Bangladeshi National Party.
They're the same person.
Yes.
But they actually, they're a councillor.
They actually just live in Bangladesh.
They just zoom in on the meetings.
Collecting their paycheck at the end of each month, I'm sure.
Another benefit of remigration.
Here's another one that you might be thinking about.
You will no longer have actual convicted terrorists running for elections as you currently have right now an actually convicted terrorist running for elections in Britain post-conviction.
So no more of that.
Thank you very much.
It's mad to me.
It is absolutely insane.
Hasn't been bad.
It is absolutely insane.
We went to prison in Yemen.
Yeah.
There was a story in the Daily Mail today about how a bunch of illegal migrants are going to be compensated with half a million pounds because their phones were taken and scanned when they landed.
So there will be none of that anymore, which seems to be an upgrade.
There was another story about a guy who I think was working for the home office who married his own daughter to get her a visa, got her the visa, got her into the country, divorced his daughter, and the plan was that she would then remarry her husband and bring her husband and four children into the country.
So that seems to be solved by a robust remigration policy.
That is degenerate filth.
I'm pretty sure I read, I think it was right before Christmas, there was a story of somebody who worked for the Home Office or was like a deportation officer who had not been granted indefinite leave to remain and was an illegal migrant.
Yes.
So there'll be none of that.
Yeah, none of that.
No illegal migrants deciding immigration policy.
That seems like an improvement.
I mean, it makes sense.
If you think about it really hard from the right angle, it might make some sense.
Scrunch your head really hard if you really think about it.
There should be no foreign civil servants.
Robust Remigration Policy 00:12:09
Another benefit is that pretty much half of London's social housing would be released.
Because something like 47.8% of social housing in London is by households whose head was born outside of the United Kingdom.
Yeah, that's insane.
And around a quarter of social housing is held by foreign-born people.
So if Rupert Lowe's policy is implemented, you get an additional quarter of all of the social housing in the country being suddenly released.
So house prices go down, rents go down, everything is easy.
Everyone loves, right?
Everyone understands supply and demand.
Except when it comes to housing and wages.
Until it comes to immigration, and then they're like, oh, no, sorry.
Magically, it all stops.
Demand, I forgot that part of the equation, sorry.
Yes, demand suddenly stops mattering.
Just build more.
When you have that.
You would obviously get much cheaper housing prices because a huge amount of the growth in the cost of housing is a direct result of immigration.
You would obviously get a much lower welfare bill because a billion pounds every month is being spent on foreign people.
Yes, mad.
I think there's one thing that we're missing out of this equation, though, which is that all of this would be great for normal people and non-oligarchs.
Have we forgotten that there are oligarchical interests tied up into all of this?
Have we thought of the oligarchs here?
Well, one of the downsides of mass deportations would be more expensive delivery rule.
It will be tragic.
It will be difficult.
It will be very hard.
But somehow it'll have to be a British teenager who actually delivers your food, which would be a pretty good first job for somebody to learn a little bit of responsibility.
That's what makes it.
Get there on time, work on time.
Just going to need a second.
Yeah, I need to.
I'm kidding, I'm sorry, for the oligarchs.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
But hey, who's going to serve the prep?
If there's no risk of getting an abs.
Was it Zach Polanski, Roanam Dave Polden, that was like, who's going to wash my toilet and clean up after my OA payments?
Wipe buttons.
Yes.
Brilliant.
So not only will you end up with a much lower welfare bill, but you will also end up with considerably higher wages because guess what?
The way that things work is that there is supply and demand.
And you will also end up with lower taxes because there's one and a half million immigrants receiving welfare.
Why?
Go out my country.
I mean, it is an insane idea.
Like, if you have someone over as a guest and you provide them with a meal, that's normal.
If you have someone living in your house rent-free, permanently at your expense, that is not normal.
And St. Paul famously said, if you don't work, you don't eat.
If you can contribute, you must.
And if you can't contribute, I mean, are you telling me that these guys are better than St. Paul?
Is this the argument that's being made?
I don't understand it.
These people have kind of been substituted as sacred cows.
That's exactly what's happened.
It's been a sort of misplacement of Christian sentiment so that white people are guilty of the original sin of racism and migrants, minorities, whatever you want to call them, these are the holy victims.
That's pretty much what's happened in religious terms in terms of how do you understand this.
But it's still insane that you'd get a million and a half people and pay for the privilege of hosting them.
I don't understand how that works.
I don't understand why that would happen.
It's an absurd claim.
You would obviously have a lot less crime.
A quarter of all arrests by British transport police are of foreigners.
Well, you wouldn't get things like the terror attack in Canterbury on the train.
You wouldn't get these kinds of attacks.
You wouldn't get children being blown up in concerts.
You wouldn't get mass stabbings of little girls as happened in Southport.
Then they're daily rapes that are happening.
Obviously, I will get to that.
Oh, right.
I'm sorry.
Of course.
You had, as you covered in your last segment, Nate, one migrant arrested every three minutes.
It's mentoring.
It's absolutely insane.
And that is with the data not being fully released.
Yeah, I genuinely couldn't believe this.
And that's with the police trying their absolute best not to arrest these people.
And this is based on foreign nationals rather than people who have already acquired citizenship.
Yeah, it's genuinely insane.
It's crazy.
And so if you accept the left's framing that poverty associated with higher crime, well, what is poverty also associated with being on welfare?
And if you then look at the percentage of London social housing that is occupied by people who are foreign-born, you would imagine that these numbers, when it comes to crime, are in fact ridiculously higher.
So lower crime.
And when we speak about foreign nationals as well, there were the reports last year of 25% of all sexual assaults in this country being committed by foreign nationals.
Again, that's not including the people who will have been granted citizenship and handed a passport.
This is just people who don't have the passport.
So to be clear, that would have excluded the vast majority of those implicated in the Pakistani rape gangs.
It certainly would have.
And that still makes up about, I think it was, what, 9 or 10% of the population?
Massively disproportionate to their numbers.
Enormous.
Over double what you would expect if it was only proportional.
Enormous.
You would get much lower NHS waiting times.
Funny that.
Supply and demand again.
It's raring.
Amazing.
So in 2025, 752,000 people registered with a GP.
New registrations.
Foreign.
So if you have a massive NHS waiting list, well, that's part of the explanation for it.
You would have a lot more school places.
You would have to spend a lot less on all kinds of things and send and so on.
You do have to kind of explain this stuff to some people because they're being purposefully ignorant and actually believe what they're saying.
You kind of have to get it down to a baby's level for some people to even acknowledge what you're saying and stop pretending not to understand by just saying like, right, I'm running a shop.
Okay.
There are five people in the queue.
You try and join the queue, but before you get there, 30 extra people show up.
Will you get to the end of the queue faster or will it take longer with the extra 30 people?
It really is simple.
It really is that simple.
No more cousin marriages.
No more Sharia courts.
No more tribal politics playing out in Britain.
Damn for that.
Wouldn't that be an improvement?
Yep.
Higher incomes and lower taxes.
You see here, this is official ONS data from 2019.
So before the Boris wave hit.
And you see the distribution of incomes and how it kind of breaks down.
And you see the whites sit at the highest of incomes with £42,000 a year, which is brought a lot lower by the fact that there is so much immigration.
But anyway, then you see other, then you see mixed and you see Asian at £35,000 and you see black at £25,000.
But because of the way the welfare system works, it all gets sandwiched into one band.
So the white average income is brought down to £38,000 and the black average income is brought up by £32,000.
Tax pays.
So the tax is taken and redistributed to equalize everything.
There's that compression as well.
There is that compression of wages.
And if it looks like what they're trying to do, they're basically just trying to even it all out to about 36-ish thousand pounds.
Exactly.
Everybody.
Everyone can be on the level playing field.
It's just if the government was just going to simplify it all, they would just not let companies give you a wage at all.
They would just give a UBI of 36 grand and then just allocate you by lottery to random jobs.
No, but that would be the most honest way of going about this.
But they feel the need to have all of the extra systems involved so that you kind of have this air of legitimacy to it.
I'm making my own way through life.
And if you just think of the bureaucratic cost of this tinkering, how many people must be hired by Department of Work and Pensions?
How many people must be made to sort of go through people's taxes and give them these kinds of allocations?
You would slash all of that.
So you'd end up with much higher wages and you would end up with a better quality of life, more school places, more places at the NHS, cleaner parks, cleaner streets, no crisis in Birmingham, no fly tipping in rivers, a lot less crime, safety, etc., etc.
I don't see how any of this gets anything worse, really.
You will get your cities back instead of having cities sort of becoming ethnic enclaves where people just flee to the suburbs endlessly.
People can live a normal urban life without having to worry about crime from their neighbors, terrorism, rape gangs, etc.
And most importantly, you wouldn't get the rape gangs to begin with.
That would be over because everybody implicated in the rape gangs would get deported as a foreign criminal, as they should be.
So the key thing here is for the other parties who don't want this to make the positive case for why the British should tolerate the state of affairs.
It's not that Restore is taking an extreme position by advocating for mass deportations.
It's that Labour, the Conservatives, and those members of reform who refuse to support this are taking the extreme position that says, no, there should be higher crime, there should be rape gangs, there should be less places than the NHS, schools should be overcrowded, cities should be unrecognizable, and that's a good thing.
You should be explain why.
You should be taxed to oblivion and your income redistributed to people who haven't contributed anything into your system.
So it's on the other parties to explain why this is a good state of affairs.
It's not on restored to explain why the state of affairs should be reversed.
Do you want the status quo or do you want to go back?
Exactly.
Exactly.
So that's it from me.
Thank you very much.
So the way you describe it just makes me think like we're living in a world designed by Bethesda.
You know, it just works.
All out New England.
Yeah, exactly.
Thank you.
Do we have any video comments?
Other Harry, young Harry?
Not me from a different city.
I presume so.
We do, yeah.
Just skip.
We do.
All right.
We've got that weekend holdover.
I'm excited.
British Cuisine Defense 00:03:44
Yeah, that should be.
I hope somebody's put in a video of their cat.
Those are the ones I prefer, to be honest.
It's nice.
Come on.
Oh, we've got a few.
The rise of work from home jobs is a COVID thing, but it's one of the few good things that's come out of it, really.
Well, also, the tech just enables it.
In truth, the only people who work more effectively from home are either hyper-supervised and cannot be inventive, or the self-employed.
Everyone else amounts to a parasite replaceable by AI.
Rex Malick dealt with the prospect of working from home in the 1982 BBC Computer Literacy Project.
I think that's an illusion.
The truth is that we need the office or something similar.
We need somewhere to fight, to argue, to discuss, to compete.
I completely disagree, personally.
But maybe that's because I'm a self-motivating person.
I'm sure that for many people, drones, they do need an office environment to help them along.
But I find myself being more productive at home typically.
That is why today I am launching Restore Britain as a national political party.
Your freedom awaits.
It's about time Iced Love it.
That is funny.
When's Rupert Loger announced the policy to genetically engineer super deportation officers?
He's just going to inject a full gram of testosterone into you every single day.
What was that thing Jebby Gardner made?
The BDL, the British Defence League, or something like that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
They went on a rampage about that stuff at some point.
Some say diversity, we say dilution.
Let's go with the next one.
Today, I'm going to defend British cuisine because I feel like it's got a bad rep and it doesn't actually.
Can't hear it now.
The stereotype of British food being the absolute worst comes after the Second World War, when, due to a lack of supplies, Britain, and to a lesser extent, Ireland, have to make do with cheap, ready-made meals and imports, which continued until the present day.
In reality, Britain actually has a richer cuisine.
Yeah, our food's great.
Yeah, this is true.
I actually go even deeper.
It's French smears.
I made gammon this Sunday.
How did you do it?
Wow.
How did you do it?
I boiled it for an hour and a half.
Bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, aniseed.
Good man.
What else?
Ginger.
Yeah.
A bunch of other things, six or seven spices.
And then I glazed it with honey, marmalade, not mustard.
I was worried about the kids not liking the mustard.
Honey musket, a bit of honey.
Marmalade, wine, glazed it for and put it in the oven for half an hour.
Yeah, nice.
Double glaze it twice.
It was perfect.
Good man.
It was perfect.
I mean, that's you've got me really hungry now.
I'm going to top off a slice of gammon with a nice fried egg.
Sadly, just in time for dinner tonight.
Just in time for Valentine's, my missus became very ill with a fever, so we couldn't go around my parents yesterday for roast like we normally do.
So heartbroken.
Simultaneously Ashamed and Proud 00:03:10
Yes, this is what I'm after.
Here we go.
Another cute dog video as she fights her way through the snow.
Love it.
She's adorable.
I love her.
I've made some doggies.
Wanna squish her little fluffy cheeks.
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of every virtue and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches and would, like Esau, sell your country for a mess of pottage and like Judas, betray your god for a few pieces of money.
Stark Cromwell maxing.
Uh, okay.
I'm on board with this message.
So after Amelia blew up, there's been, you know, kind of this meme with sexy Amelia's all over the place.
And I kind of wanted to see if it was something I could do.
So I did this representation of the mummy land, I mean the motherland.
Of course, I couldn't stop there, so I made my version of her friend's cousin Amelie and invented Braveheart Punk because Millie.
Happy Friday.
You seem simultaneously ashamed and proud of this.
So it's really good, right?
I'm going to make you mine.
Yeah, if you have to spam the seven-part series, go ahead.
Those sorts of places are absolutely fantastic.
I love the atmosphere of them.
Yeah.
One of the major reasons admale-to-female transitions are supported is because testosterone is highly regulated.
Testosterone is considered a performance-enhancing drug and a key component of athletic steroids.
There is less red tape to deal with if you convince a man to take estrogen instead.
Plus, it makes a male into a gelded domesticated consumer, which is an ideal target for lazy corporate media marketers and activists trying to convince people that transgenderism is a thing.
I think this was in regards to when we said, if people have, if people have, like, feel like a woman.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I feel like a woman if they go to therapy.
Just like, okay, here's some testosterone then, bro.
That makes way more sense to me.
But yeah, it is a highly regulated special sports supplement.
Why Was the Hovercraft Gay? 00:01:10
Hey, Lotitas, I'm on the Isle of Wight and I managed to get here from Portsmouth on a hovercraft.
That was quite cool.
Awesome.
Nice.
But uh, I couldn't notice there was uh something a bit unusual about this hovercraft.
Something uh something I wouldn't have expected.
Oh, why was the hovercraft gay?
Why is it a gay hovercraft?
You rode it, mate.
Bro, I hope you didn't sit on any of the seats on that hovercraft, man, because also, Zesty, I remember the last gold zoom that I was on, that you came on, that you said that you were thinking of visiting Cheshire and asked me for any suggestions.
Did you go?
And did you like anywhere in particular?
There's a question for you.
And with that, that's all we've got time for.
So thank you all very much for joining us today.
Join Firaz in half an hour for Real Politique, where you're going to be talking about the madness that we saw at Munich.
There we go.
So join him for that.
And for everybody else, we'll see you again tomorrow.
Please take care.
