John and Nate dissect the Samuel Everett case, where Mark Cavey banned a PE teacher for life despite panel recommendations, labeling it a political crime against free speech regarding migrant boat policies. They critique Saturday Night Live UK's catastrophic failure with only 226,000 viewers due to American-centric humor, while condemning the government's ideological destruction of coal plants and high North Sea oil taxes as national suicide. Ultimately, they argue these energy policies have created an agricultural crisis and forced farmers into rewilding, contrasting Britain's self-sabotage with France's successful nuclear strategy.

Welcome to the podcast of the Load Seaters for Monday, the 23rd of March, 2026.
Yes, it's Monday.
I'm joined by Nate, and I'm John by Ferris.
And today, we're going to be talking about how the mission of the state is going to continue, whether you like it or not.
It doesn't matter what you vote for, it doesn't matter what you ask for.
It doesn't matter how unpopular everything that they do is.
You're guessing it's whether you like it or not.
Then we're going to be talking about how Saturday Night Live UK edition has been a massive flop.
And actually, I'm starting to feel kind of bad for them, to be honest.
I know.
I wouldn't go that far.
Yeah, I know, but the more I was researching into it, I was like, oh no.
And then we're going to talk about how things are going to get so much worse and your energy bills are going to get so much higher.
So, you know, enjoy that.
But before we begin, of course, we have the live event on the 11th of April.
It's selling very well and it's going to be very good.
So get your tickets now.
It's in Swindon and look forward to that.
And after the show at 3 p.m., we have Real Politique Live, is it?
Live with Ferris.
So what are we talking about here?
Talking about whether or not Trump actually is serious about negotiating with the Iranians.
And, you know, what are some of the consequences if he doesn't?
Well, I mean, it's the art of the deal, isn't it?
No, not this time.
Not this time.
Is it not?
Interesting.
Okay, so join us at 3 p.m. on the website for that.
And anyway, let's begin.
All right.
Well, I wanted to talk about the state's mission, their propaganda machine, their globalist utopia, whatever you want to call it.
They're on rails and we can't deviate from it no matter what.
It is an impossibility, or it's seemingly an impossibility.
You are going to be paying for it through your taxes, though.
Yeah, massively.
Another inevitability, yeah, massively.
And this all stemmed actually from this.
And another example I'm going to give you.
But this was quite a shocking, shocking turn of events.
Darlington PE teacher was banned from teaching for life.
What?
For life.
For life.
Can appeal in two years, but we'll discuss that.
Over small boat posts.
And it's actually way worse than just banned.
Right.
Okay.
So because of who banned him.
What did he say about the small boats?
Really not that bad at all, to be honest.
So let's have a look.
So PE teacher who wrote Deploy the Navy in response to a social media post about illegal migrant.
So he didn't say illegal migrant invaders.
It was a post about illegal migrant invaders.
He said, Deploy the Navy.
Has been barred from the classroom after an official investigation.
The illegal migrant invaders is a literally correct description of what happens when they get on boats and break into our country.
It's definitionally correct.
Correct.
Yeah.
And deploying the Navy is actually very commonly held opinion.
It's a sensible position to hold when you're being break into your country.
Why do you have a navy?
Yeah, if not to defend us from the sea.
Yeah, it's quite mad.
So the individual in question is a Samuel Everett, who taught at one Horton Academy in Darlington, Co. Durham.
And he was found guilty, again, of unacceptable conduct by a panel of the Teaching Regulation Agency after a hearing which ended last month.
So he's not allowed to publicly voice an opinion on the illegal invasion of his own country.
Yeah, no, not no.
No.
Okay.
Yeah, it is quite mad.
So what he said actually wasn't that bad.
He did this on X, right?
So Elon, maybe help a guy out, you know.
Remember, there was the legal fund, wasn't there, for anyone that was cancelled.
This is literally a guy being cancelled because of an ex post.
Yes.
Yeah.
So Elon, help him out.
So it was a judgment published online.
It was found that he wrote, Deploy the Navy, which covered already in response to a post saying, more boats filled with illegal migrant invaders are approaching our shores every day.
Only Britain First would stop the boats and deport all illegal migrants.
Now, that's why this has been done.
Well, this is actually where it gets, it's way more sinister than just that.
Is it right?
It gets way, it's actually really, really, really sinister.
So, there was a panel.
Okay, that there's a panel, sort of a review panel, which reviewed it and discussed his conduct.
They said that Britain First was widely known as a far-right organization.
I mean, they're not really, but okay, they're not that bad, I guess.
It doesn't matter what our opinion on Britain First is.
It is fairly true that widely known as a far-right organization, that is the common opinion of Britain First.
True.
But the indication here raising that is the state and the educational institution has one political allegiance, and that's the only allowable political allegiance.
Yes.
So you're guilty of wrong political leanings.
Yeah, I mean, which is insane.
That's mad.
It is, but Britain First have been prescribed in the common culture as a no, you're just not allowed.
Like, I saw, who was it the other day?
It was Jacob Reesmog.
He was being, he was on an interview, I think, with, I can't remember who it was, actually.
But it wasn't someone I was too familiar with, I think.
But he said, well, there's no further right position than Tommy Robinson.
And the person interviewing was like, no, they're way further right.
No, no, no.
But this is the point.
In the common parliament.
Zeitgeist.
Tommy Robinson, in the mainstream mind, occupies the most far-right position.
Britain First occupied the most far-right position, even though there's a gulf of difference between just those two organizations, those people.
Yep, very, very true.
So the panel concluded, they said the post to which Mr. Everett was replying used the word invaders, which was relevant to the context of Mr. Everett's reply to the effect that the Navy should be deployed.
Yeah, but that's literally what's happening.
Yes.
They're literally raping and plundering.
But that is what happens in an invasion.
Have you thought about that might be racist?
Ah.
To point out the obvious.
About the massively disproportionate levels of sexual assault that are being done by illegal immigrants who break into the country.
That literally invade, yeah.
You're no, no, you're not allowed to notice these things.
Right, okay.
Not allowed.
So they said the purpose of deploying the navy in the context of the word invaders was offensive.
Oh, so it was offensive to the invaders, was it?
I mean, what are we doing?
Yes, there's literally it.
It's offensive to the invaders.
Yeah.
Well, it was offensive because it implied advocating the use of military force against unarmed people in small boats.
Well, how do you know they're unarmed for starters?
We actually don't know that.
True, but that also doesn't mean just bombing them or shooting them.
It can mean literally catching them and just sending them back.
Or just a blockade.
I mean, which actually Australia did that, didn't they?
They blockaded them.
It doesn't mean murdering them.
Yeah.
And then his posts, the language may have got a bit fruitier, but it wasn't off the mark.
So he also posted, just get rid of the lot of them.
And so he's quantified the next statement.
It says, if they hate this country so much, they should F off.
I mean, agreed.
I mean, but he's saying if they had a country.
I know, yeah.
It's radical, isn't it?
To be like, well, if you don't like the country, you shouldn't be here.
Something like two-thirds of the people in all of the country think this.
Whoa.
It's literally one of the most well-attested political opinions in this country.
Well, the state does not allow that.
Well, yeah, of course.
Yeah, good point.
And I'm saying the state for a very clear reason here, actually, which I'll get to.
And so that was in a response to a comment which said, we have imported many more who hate the country.
The only way we survive is through patriotism and understanding our history.
Obviously.
Sounds like somebody who might have read Tolkien at some point.
I mean, yes.
The thing about this.
It sounds like a dangerous extremist.
This is so trivially true, though.
Like, it's just trivial.
Don't import people who hate your country.
The only way the country survives is by knowing its own history and liking itself.
Yeah.
These are just naught.
These are normal opinions.
Yeah, it's trivial.
Utterly trivial.
These are normal baseline opinions that the majority of the country hold, but no, you're not allowed.
So it continues further, right?
There was another of his posts that said, completely agree, if you don't respect our laws, culture, and way of life, you should leave.
I think it's like I've even been goose-stepping as he said this or something.
Yep.
Again, that's the most boomer-coded, like, centrist patriot position that is possible to have.
I mean, Keir Starmer would probably say that.
Well, I mean, he said worse, didn't he?
Well, yeah, he's an island.
Exactly, yeah.
But this is probably the sort of thing that Keir Starmer would say.
Yeah.
We don't go to other people's countries and tell them they're wrong or how they go about things.
Which is a shame.
And the world was a better place for it, actually.
So this is actually where it gets really sinister.
Okay, so Mr. Everett was employed by the Horton Academy, which was part of the Education Village Academy Trust, as a PE teacher from 2022 until he was dismissed in June 2024 after someone raised concerns about his posts on X.
The panel said he was guilty, but they recommended that Mr. Everett be allowed to continue teaching, given his remorse and a successful placement at another school.
I hate it.
That's so pathetic, isn't it?
Oh, no, it's way worth it.
He's had sit there and go, no, no, really, I'm actually in favour of my country being invaded.
No, we shouldn't like ourselves and we shouldn't know our own history.
Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
I hate it.
But what happened?
God.
The panel was overruled by Mark Cavey on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education.
Right.
So the government literally interceded to get this guy fired and banned for teaching from life.
Yeah, literally.
That is mad.
Isn't it mad?
That is absolutely.
So you've got your normal due process with a panel in the education system, but no, no, don't worry about that.
We don't accept that ruling, actually.
But this is the explicit stated position of Shobana Mahmood.
Like, literally, we will stop the boats.
We'll smash the gang.
Stop the boats.
We insist on integration.
We insist on integration.
We insist on following the rules, being part of the community and all this sort of stuff.
This is the explicit stated position of the Labour government.
Yeah.
Stores should say that they were going to make him a spad for the next education.
Yeah, yeah.
That is the way to counter this.
And demoralize these extremists.
When I said it gets more sinister, I mean, how sinister.
How sinister can you get?
Literally just the state coming in and going, no, This is like we recommend, well, ruled, sorry, not recommend.
We ruled that he should be barred from teaching for life.
Holding the government's opinion on the small boats.
Well, and just holding like a normal milquetoast opinion.
Sure, but that's one thing.
Again, yeah, also the state.
If the government was like a radical left-wing government, there was Zach Polanski government that was like, no, every migrant will replace every Briton by 2035 or something.
You'd understand it.
But this is the government's own opinion on this.
Yeah.
It is.
It's truly insane.
So Mr. Cavey found, quote, in this case, and while noting the evidence of insight and remorse found by the panel, I have placed considerable weight on the seriousness of the misconduct that it has found, which included a teacher engaging in offensive dialogue on a public social media platform, thereby demonstrating a lack of tolerance and a lack of respect for the rights and beliefs of others.
Oh, that is a sister.
Sorry.
So he doesn't want to tolerate being invaded.
He doesn't tolerate breaking the law.
And he doesn't respect invaders.
No, no, but he's not tolerating their breaking the law.
Yeah.
And tolerating the lack of respect for the rights and beliefs of others.
They believe they have a right to break our laws, and he doesn't tolerate that.
This is sinister.
It's actually insane.
Also, as if he's committed a crime.
Where's the crime?
He hasn't been charged with anything, right?
So.
No, nothing.
What is going on?
Yeah.
This is insane.
Do you see what I mean?
We're on rails and we will not deviate from this no matter what.
I mean, we're going to.
Restore Britain will win.
But this is the machine in action.
Genuinely mad.
I've never seen, I mean, there's been lots of examples, but this to me was a really clear-cut example of the machine, the globalist entity, just in action.
We're on this train.
You will not get off.
But the fact that they're like, right, you can't even apply appeal for two years now.
Yeah.
What's he supposed to do for two years?
I mean, the whole point is destroy his career, right?
Yeah.
That's demoralizing.
Not just his career.
I'm sure he's got a mortgage to pay for.
This is destroying his life.
Yep.
And so he said further, I've also placed considerable weight on the negative impact of this behavior on the reputation of the profession.
Well.
So the reputation of all teachers must be that they are massively left-wing, right?
Because you can't associate with anything right-wing.
You think of the train of events.
You can't associate with Shabana Mahmood.
You can't associate with right-wing politics, so like Britain First, for instance.
You can't associate with a normal position, Shobana Mahmood's position and opinion.
This is mad.
It's insane.
It's almost speechless.
Like it's crazy.
But it's so interesting how it's about persecuting the plebeians to keep them in their place.
That's what this is.
This is no, no, no.
You will never speak about this or else we will ruin your life.
And we will.
Quite literally, really.
Quite literally ruin your life.
You haven't committed a crime.
He would have studied for what, like five, six years in the last year.
How many?
Quite a high amount of time.
But the point is, he hasn't committed a crime.
He's not in violation of the law.
He is professing the government's own stated opinion, which is we need to stop illegals breaking into the country.
And somehow, this is now.
And again, look what he's been following, demonstrating a lack of tolerance and a lack of respect for the rights and beliefs of others.
Oh, no.
As in, you are not allowed to have a contrary opinion to people who are breaking into the country illegally.
This is insane.
Yeah.
This is genuinely mad.
And you always think you're over the horizon of madness, right?
Just a little bit more.
You think, right, it can't get any more mental than this.
And now it's just like, you can't have a career in teaching.
But the state actually intervening in the standard process.
How is this something the government is paying attention to?
Well, right?
And they even said, I have also noted the panel's findings that Mr. Everett's behavior was deliberate and that there was no evidence he was acting under duress.
In my judgment, the panel has, in making its recommendation that a prohibition order should not be imposed, failed to give sufficient weight to these factors.
So they're like, no, you're wrong.
I'm right.
Mad.
That's genuinely mad.
It's disgusting.
It's actually disgusting.
And look at it from a broader context as well.
The teaching profession is short-staffed, running low.
They're like, nope, no, He's one we can do without regardless.
Thought Crimes and Nuisance00:06:19
Don't worry about it.
Yep.
That's fine.
What did he do?
Well, no crime.
Nothing illegal.
No.
And yet the state will intervene in this.
But need I remind everyone about Batley Grammar School?
Yeah.
And the poor chap that is still in hiding?
I mean, this is genuinely like political crimes.
Yeah.
Things that are not on the statue.
This is very Soviet.
Now you're in a virtual gulag where you don't have a profession anymore.
So, good luck.
And especially in this economy, I'm sure you'll find no problem finding another job.
Yeah.
It's consigning someone to oblivion, basically, for having done nothing other than counter-signal the party.
But not even, yeah, but not even counter-signaling the party, just signaling what the party actually believes, just in the wrong way.
Yeah, it is actually insane.
And so, again, we're on rails.
This will continue, although it won't again respond to it.
We are going to win.
This can't go on.
And then another great example, just by coincidence, actually came out today.
Friend of the podcast, Lewis Brackpool, posted this, and I was like, what is this?
For the sake of copyright, we're not going to watch it.
But it's the BBC show.
I saw this come up on my timeline too.
Well, it's actually insane.
They're portraying journalists who ask for freedom of information requests from the Home Office are essentially extremists or side by side, one step removed from being essential terrorists.
And then, as I understand it, that character goes on to try and shoot a kid in a small boat that's crossing across things.
Wow.
No, no, it's genuinely mad.
I don't know if it's like in the replies here, but that's a meme.
But I saw like other clips from it where the same guy is like eyeing up with a sniperscope on there are children in the boats crossing the channel.
Amazing.
That's unusual.
Yeah, exactly.
Very nice.
Yeah, when does that happen?
And it's just like, what are we?
What?
But also, the fact they, the BBC, which is thanks to Lewis's work, we know from his FOI request, does work directly with the government.
So we know that they're hand in hand already.
And so then they decide, oh, hey, whoa, this guy's a nuisance to the Home Office.
We'll portray him in a drama as an extremist.
And that's the thing.
Like, oh, he's been a real nuisance to the Home Office.
Like, oh, no, the Holy Home Office.
Yeah.
No.
Good.
It's like, what?
What?
If I'm my way, I'd dissolve the Home Office.
Yeah.
But again, it's just perfectly indicative of, no, you're a nuisance.
I'm going to try and destroy who you are.
The system knows it's got no legal claim against you.
In fact, the legal claim is the freedom of information request.
Okay, so what can we do?
Well, we can try and pollute the public mind against this person.
Yeah, the normies.
For following what we implemented.
I think it was Blair.
It must be Blair's guy.
And that's the thing which he said was his greatest regret.
Yeah, exactly.
For transparency.
It's like, well, okay, does the system actually want transparency?
No, it doesn't.
Apparently not.
The thing is, the state would have, if they could, have done the same to Lewis like they did with a teacher.
But they're unable to.
So they utilize another arm of power, another asset they have.
And so they can destroy, attempt to, it won't work, but attempt to destroy the public's view of individuals that do such work.
Or just do that instead.
It's like, how deeply, deeply sinister.
But on the plus side, it does also go show the insecurity of the state.
The reason that it is doing these things is not just accidental or coincidental.
It's because it feels threatened by the fact that there are so many now citizen activists, journalists, people who are awake to the situation that it's like, okay, well, we're going to have to start propagandizing the normies.
We're going to have to start punishing PE teachers, whatever it was, when they, and even if they've done nothing wrong, we're going to get the government to intercede in the most trivial of cases.
It's like, okay, that's you grasping for control.
That is you wishing that you had all of this locked down, and you clearly don't.
The clock is ticking.
This is going to end.
Yeah, it's that phrase, isn't it?
Like it lashes out as it cries in pain or something.
Well, yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's basically what the state's.
That's the government for, yeah.
And then just some honorable mentions, just another example of the state machine continuing to do whatever it wishes, regardless.
Do you remember when Pretty Patel ordered police to stop recording non-crime hate incidences?
Did they stop?
Did they?
Oh, no, not at all.
And then they were like, can you wipe them?
No.
I mean, theoretically, yes, but we're not going to.
Again, this, it's so sinister.
Why are you recording anything if it's not a crime?
Non-crime means not your business.
Yeah.
Because you are the police.
It's your job to enforce the laws.
If it's not a crime, you have no business there.
What are we doing here, folks?
It can only mean political crime.
It can only mean against the regime.
I mean, presumably, if you are, you know, recorded as one of those, whenever they do your vetting for various positions within the government, that's it.
You have been found guilty of a hate crime.
You are no longer eligible to work.
It is a political crime.
It's not even a hate crime.
Intent is not a crime.
Exactly.
Well, these are thought crimes.
Yeah, thought crimes.
That's the thing.
It's a registry of thought crimes.
And the intention is to make sure that the undesirables do not manage to get into the system.
So there you go.
We're on rails.
We will not deviate.
It is a machine and it has a job.
Wilkinson.
Exactly.
Tom Ratt says, all jokes aside restore Britain needs to make it clear that their departments are departments that will be binned and wholesale replaced, and this includes the Home Office, HMRC, and the Department of Work and Pensions.
And now education.
Yeah, I mean, like, especially the Home Office.
The Home Office honestly is reconciling.
You need to reverse DEI it.
Reconstituting reverse DEI it at the very least, but just reconstituting a new institution would probably be easier.
Yep.
Yeah.
Aim high, vote low isn't a great slogan because shouldn't vote low mean if we want to win?
Gives a mixed message.
Well, I didn't come up with it.
Dwight says, Did you see on the news Mel Gibson wrote the first three hours of his series on the siege of Malta?
Embarrassing Political Comedy00:09:06
I haven't seen that.
And Elon has apparently already helped Mr. Everett actually by importing an Indian filler job.
Well, Elon could indeed help out Mr. Everett with legal costs.
What not?
And since he's been cancelled for what he's posting on X, that's as good an argument as any.
Anyway, let's move on.
So you may actually not be aware that Saturday Night Live, the very long-running and well, frankly, kind of failing, late-night, and I don't know.
Is it political?
I suppose it is political.
Everything is political.
It's supposed to be political comedy.
Yeah, yeah.
The political comedy show in America that nobody watches has been imported to Britain for nobody to watch it here, which is really weird.
And the first episode debuted over the weekend.
And I haven't actually watched it because I don't have a Sky TV subscription.
I don't.
No, I don't have a TV license.
I don't know.
Exactly.
I don't either.
Like, I don't know if you have none.
He does.
But there are lots of clips on social media that I did watch.
And after cringe, you know, picking myself up out of the cringe, I thought we'd talk about it.
But before we begin, we have a live event on the 11th of April in Swindon.
It's going to be brilliant.
All of the hosts are going to be there and it's going to be great fun.
A link will be in the description.
We will see you there.
Unlike Saturday Night Live.
Unlike Saturday Night Live.
And so I thought we'd talk about this in the context of de-yankification.
De-yankification is one of those phrases that's going around the British political left, which is highly ironic given how phenomenally yankified the British political left is.
Now, everything they think originates in a left-wing, intersectional social justice activist space.
It begins in Harvard University.
They don't know their entire worldview.
They don't know this because they are all, and I mean this in the literal medical sense, retarded.
They are all literally missing parts of their brain and they don't understand that de-yankification didn't begin with Donald Trump.
Anyway, you've got here Jimmy the Giant as a prime example.
Then you've got, I mean, look at this, right?
Look, this is such the case for de-yankification is building.
What do you think this flag is?
Where do you think pronouns in your bio came from?
Like, everything you will have read as a trans feminist researcher will have come from an American.
The fact that you can even be that.
Yeah, exactly.
The fact that, you know, look at the gay pride flag, the trans flag.
These are all American imports.
The fact that you think of yourself as being in favor of immigration is itself an American import.
Immigration is yankification.
You brainlets.
Anyway.
The melting pot, the whole difference.
Exactly.
We've always been a nation of immigrants.
All this sort of.
It's all yankification.
You are the most yankified people on the internet.
And it's kind of embarrassing to watch.
I mean, like this thing with Jimmy the Giant, he's wearing his baseball cap and t-shirt, being like, we need de-yankification.
No, you wear a baseball cap and t-shirt.
Anyway, moving on.
This was broadcast to honestly no one's anticipation, frankly.
The New York Institution is making its way across the pond.
Okay, can we return to that conversation about de-yankation now, please?
I actually am really interested in having that conversation because nobody wanted this.
And nobody, and we know this from the numbers, actually.
But we'll get back into that in a second.
Anyway, so it was hosted by Tina Faye.
I mean, I'm going to force you to watch some of this.
So this is it, guys.
The countdown to Saturday Night Live UK.
Now we just need to figure out a way to let everyone know the first live show is on Sky One at 10 p.m. on Saturday, 21st of March.
And can also be streamed on now TV if you're too busy getting laid.
How can we possibly communicate that to people?
We'll just find a way to pop it in.
Did someone say Poppins?
She's real.
Easy enough.
Gather around, children.
Manny is here with everything you need for a practically perfect.
You know what?
I'm going to drop the voice.
I've got everything you need for your first ever SNL UK.
Hello?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Wings.
Make the character.
That's nice.
Oh, a crown.
In case you guys want to do royal stuff.
Ooh, a really long shoe.
That could be funny.
Did she really toss the crown to an African woman?
Sure, but I don't think, who cares?
This is just not funny at all.
Deeply cringe.
On earth was this.
Could they have any more of a lack of charisma?
I was going to say, come on.
Oh, yeah.
Charisma.
Got to do this.
Yeah.
You don't even sound excited.
And the thing is, if you walked up to the average person on the street in Britain and said, do you know who Tina Faye is?
Yeah.
No.
I didn't actually know who Tina Faye was either.
I think that guy's expression was perfect.
Yeah.
The guy closing his eyes and going.
I think that's.
So apparently, Tina Fay is an American comedian who has won a bunch of awards for being an American comedian inside a very specific bubble in America.
And this doesn't penetrate outwards because I, like I said, I didn't know who she was.
So when they're like, oh my god, it's Tina Fey.
I'm like, oh my God.
Who?
You know, like, I'm going to look this up.
Anyway, the entire thing has this kind of tone, right?
So the first proper clip they put out, there's this five-minute clip that was a parody of Keir Starmer's government.
Now, Keir Starmer is the moron, and David Lamy is the intelligent straight man.
Yeah, so I watched this.
I think I watched this yesterday and I was like, what?
Why is David Lammy the clever one?
Yeah, so all of this is complete nonsense.
I mean, you are doing a parody of David Lammy, which, to be fair, is probably not that easy in itself, right?
Exactly.
Yeah, he's a famous moron.
But this, like, again, was just very dire.
I mean, 180,000 views, 700 likes.
Watch a little bit of it.
And that's all people expect.
Thank you, Lambie.
It just goes to show, while we may not agree with everything America does, we can still be civil and embrace their wonderful, unproblematic culture.
Speaking of which...
Live!
Sorry, what am I looking at?
God so much.
I know, like, this, like, we're going to embrace their wonderful, unproblematic culture.
It's like, oh, God, I just.
I just don't know why this exists.
Why are you doing the segment?
Yeah, I know.
But it's like, why are you guys pretending to be like Americans?
It's so embarrassing.
I mean, there's the question of, you know, there's a problem inherent with parodying Keir Starmer, which is that he's such himself a personal charisma vacuum.
He sucks the charisma of anything that he's doing.
So, like, if you've got an extended skit with Keir Starmer, it's like, okay, now I have to listen to the guy putting on the Keir Starmer voice.
It's like, oh, God.
You know, anyway.
He's done something like Release the Sausages or like a quick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure, I guess.
Release the sausages was actually funny.
Yeah, but from a comedic standpoint, but it's so terrible.
This is my thing.
It is.
And even Tom Harwood was like, why are they calling it Gen Z?
Because they, we'll play this clip, in fact, this one.
We were worried you'd lose your nerve, so we've taken steps to help you gain unfounded confidence.
Mr. Prime Minister, meet your Gen Z advisor at Luke Hoopie.
What's up, Starm Z?
Bow, bow, bow.
What the hell is that?
It's what aging millennials think is funny.
I don't think anyone.
Wow.
There's loads of this.
There's loads of this.
Here's a guy talking about.
In fact, I'm going to skip this.
he's talking about bts using a bunch of like weird zoomer lingo and the joke is ah it's a bts Oh, yeah, exactly, right?
Who is this actually for?
Yeah, exactly.
Who is?
Exactly.
Then you've got this one.
This premise is that every time you go to, you know, you load up a web page on your phone, you go to press it, but because the CSS hadn't loaded properly and it moves slightly and you press something else, well, there's a team behind that function or something, and they're there to just ruin your internet browsing experience slightly.
It's like, okay, that's brilliant.
Refreshing British Viewers00:16:06
That's absolutely.
Who are the writers on this?
Yeah.
That's a terrible idea for a shit.
And then you've got them being like, ha ha ha, isn't it funny that Dubai's under fire and influencers are getting bombed?
It's like, can we see that?
We can see it if you like.
As Iranian strikes continue to hit Dubai, the cost of chartering a private jet has risen so high that many influencers have been struggling to flee.
I must stress, though, it's not all good news.
Many influencers are killed, and again, we can only hope they are really labouring up.
It's going to be easy to identify by their dental records.
I don't understand why we've tried to import this humour.
The Brits have a very specific humour.
And it's not American millennial humor.
No.
Why are we important?
What is this?
What's he trying to do with a facial expression?
I have no idea.
I assume Jon Stewart did something similar.
I think it's like a nod and a wink to the camera.
This is a witty one line.
You're supposed to be laughing.
It's like, hey, hey, hey.
Too thick to me.
Well, you're not an American millennial, right?
Left-wing millennial.
So these are not for you, because obviously.
But anyway, they also had a band called Wet Leg playing.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, right.
Who?
Who?
Who is it?
The Isle of Wight.
Yeah, who's this band called Wet Leg?
I mean, what a horrible name for anything, right?
Like Wet Leg?
Sounds like a dog that's sort of been disabled slightly.
A little bit, but I didn't know who they were.
So I looked up the Wikipedia page and I was like, okay, I'll look up their chart hits, peak chart positions.
They played a song called Catch These Fists, which peaked at 99 in the UK chart.
Oh, wow.
Wow, they managed to get someone that good then.
Really prestigious.
But you'll notice that they did fairly well in America.
Okay, number two.
So they've imported a British band who have done all right in America to play on the UK.
Is this one of those things where they've made it quote unquote for the UK audiences, but actually it's UK SNL for American audiences?
Kind of.
It looks that way.
That's so strange.
Why would you go to that?
Go to those lengths because SNL is completely dead in stateside now.
Everyone hates it.
So have they just gone, right, we'll make it a British version under the guise that it's actually for Brits, but actually it's for Americans.
That seems to be what they've done.
It kind of is.
I mean, they played this song called Catch These Fists, which is embarrassing.
And then Mange Tout, which didn't even chart mostly.
So it's just, okay.
I think that's Monge 2.
Whoever.
I don't know.
I don't care.
Right?
Sweet pointy type thing.
But who is this for?
Oh, yeah, no, yeah.
Americans.
It's got to be for Americans.
Right?
it's for americans so it's like okay why are we why are we not actually um like why are we not thinking in these terms My fellow left-wingers online who want the de-yankification of Britain.
Oh, you only want it when it happens on the right.
Anyway, so the media covered it and pretty, pretty damning responses from The Independent, which is the outlet that you think would be most sympathetic to it.
So the show divides viewers, which is a very kind way of saying, quote, not flopped.
Not funny at all.
Some viewers said it was fantastic.
12 of them.
All 12 of these people had Ukraine flags in their bios.
And others were like, not funny at all.
Well, many viewers acknowledged they hadn't loved every sketch.
It's very generous.
And overall, it was quite hit or miss.
They praised the new and refreshing material the show brought to UK strings.
Hang on a second.
New and refreshing.
This is a rehash of an ancient American Saturday program.
This is...
Stop being funny after Norm MacDonald left or something.
Oh, oh.
Oh, yes.
Which was in the 90s?
Yes.
But I love they call it.
It's new and refreshing.
It's like, how is it new and refreshing?
It's literally a rehash of a failed American show.
Like, this is the least new and refreshing thing you can imagine.
Literally doing anything else.
And the idea of sort of trying to recreate Mary Poppins.
Yeah, exactly.
Is it the 1920s?
I don't understand what happened there.
But also, do you think that young people in Britain in 2026 know who Mary Poppins is?
Again, if you were going down the street, you see some kids walking along with their band, like their face masks or whatever.
You're like, who's Mary Poppins?
They're like, what blood or whatever?
I don't know.
But they're not going to know.
Americans would know.
Exactly.
It is absolutely for Americans because they would know.
They'd know who Tina Fey is.
They'll know who Mary Poppins is.
It's absolutely for Americans.
That's exactly right.
So like, oh, the quaint little British version.
I'll watch that.
Yeah.
I won't watch my version, but I'll watch the British.
Yeah, it's absolutely.
This is for America.
Yeah.
And so I found this article from GQ.
I mean, just looking at the cast here.
Stay to that.
I just, I feel like I'm at the world's worst party in 2003.
And I'm being, I'm going to be trapped with these kind of goons.
And I'm going to have to explain to them why I need to go and get another drink.
This looks like a shot reverse shot of something you'd see in peep show.
Like they walk into a party and they're like, oh my God.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
It's like that, isn't it?
Yes.
And so anyway, found this GQ article in advance of it, right?
So this show was years in the making and employed 350 people.
And it's just, oh my God.
It's a great load of effort to make something that bad.
So many, too many cooks in the kitchen, I assume, is the issue here, right?
And remember, this was written before this was premiered.
Right.
So they say there has been plenty of negative speculation about its chances in the wrong hands.
It could be a cringy disaster, an all-timer of a comedy culture clash.
But if it works, yeah, big if there, it'll represent the best opportunity for British comedy in a generation.
It's not 2014.
It's not 2014.
This isn't going to work.
So they have, they start, this took place in the West London, sorry, London's television center, right?
Now, this is described as, quote, a vibeless office room, as in it is just pale walls, desks, and comedy writers.
That's the best environment for comic comedy.
There's a plenty strong team of writers in this quote, vibeless office room in the London television.
20 people made something that bad.
And not once someone went, well, guys, this isn't going to land.
But that's the point, isn't it?
These are people for whom this is comedy.
So anyway, I was enjoying this.
But the thing I couldn't help but notice, and when you look about, look at the thing, right?
Like, for example, I'll skip ahead a bit on this.
So you can just see the sort of scale of the sets and stuff, right?
So they've got quite a lot of sets.
So you've got to think, okay, a fair amount of money has been put into this.
Yeah.
Actually.
And if you've got 350 people working on that, that's millions and millions and millions and millions of pounds that you're putting into this.
Do we know the production company that made it?
No, but it's made by Sky themselves.
Oh, right.
Okay.
So they basically bought a lighthouse thing, right?
Representatives from Sky have declined to reveal exactly how big the budget is.
I bet they are.
Yeah, exactly.
Thank the stock price, right?
Right.
The producer says, even I don't know it.
I think if I knew it, I'd be panicking.
That's what you want to say.
That is brilliant.
That's comedy gold.
He should have said that.
Exactly, right?
You should have put that in the show.
It's not that the show isn't funny.
It's only funny in the second and third order readings of it.
But that's mad.
Imagine being like, yeah, I don't know what the budget is.
It's bound to be millions and everyone expects it to be sh bad.
And it's just like, right, okay.
So I suppose the proof of the pudding is in eating.
Now, obviously, Sky is a private company.
It's not the BBC, so they can't just make these kind of...
One thing that I found really interesting about this as well, like this seems to be in the sort of 2018, 2017, we are going to burn money for social justice for free of entertainment, right?
Now, that's something Sky haven't really done that much because they, like I said, they're a private company and they need to make money.
They're not the BBC.
They can't just burn taxpayer money and know that they're going to have a job tomorrow, right?
And so for Sky, this is about audience share.
What share of the potential audience can you get?
How many people are tuning in?
Well, it turns out that it was 226,000 viewers.
Yeah, that's not great.
We get more than that on a segment on this channel, a good segment on this channel.
That's not great at all.
We don't have 350 people.
Yeah, This doesn't cost millions, and we don't have 350 people working for us.
I don't have 20 writers.
So that is a 3.2% of Sky's audience share at that time period.
What time did it actually air?
10 p.m. on Saturday night.
10 p.m.
Okay.
Yeah.
3.2%, according to overnight figures.
So what has gone so catastrophically wrong here?
Right?
Because I mean, look at this set.
This set is an expensive set.
Very amazing.
That set.
Very American.
But is that the American set or is that the British set?
That's the British set.
That's the British set.
Yeah.
That would have cost hundreds of thousands.
Yes.
Right.
This is a really expensive mistake that Sky's making.
So what is happening?
Well, what they're trying to do is not only import a foreign paradigm and framework for British TV.
Because I mean, the thing I think a lot of Americans fail to understand is actually, Brits kind of like things to look a bit crap.
Look at Red Dwarf.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The joke of it is that it's, you know, there's always a bit of a sort of nod and a wink.
Yeah, it's kind of crap, but that's not what this is about.
Crichton with his exactly foam face.
Yeah, exactly.
Actually, the production values are not as important as they are in America.
But also, what it's trying to do is recover an era of television that has just passed.
This was the sort of thing that would have done very well in the 1990s.
Yes.
This is the sort of thing that would have done very well in previous eras.
This is not something that does well now because, frankly, no one is watching TV.
Yeah, that's true.
And the humor is in no way outside of the circumscribed morality of the establishment.
This is progressive, modern, liberal humor, which is why you have Tina Fey there doing why you have David Lamy being clever, which is why you have David Lamy being clever, etc., etc.
And so you can't do anything transgressive or boundary pushing with your comedy, which is what comedy is best for.
I mean, if they really wanted to make something funny, they'd have the black guy in a wig and a dress playing Diane Abbott with like two left shoes on.
But you would, that would be funny.
That would be funny, yeah.
That would land with British viewers.
That would be actually hilarious.
But no, you've got him playing a jumped-up, intelligent version of Lamy, which is my suspension of disbelief cannot stress that far.
I'm sorry, like it just doesn't work.
And no, it's the theme of the Keir Starmer segment was, oh, Keir Starmer's too weak to say no to Trump.
It's like, okay, but he did.
He did.
Exactly.
He actually done that.
Yeah, exactly.
But he actually did do this.
And David Lamy's smart, which is ridiculous.
So they're staying well within the morality of the establishment.
They can't do anything transgressive.
They can't do anything particularly edgy.
They can't do anything particularly interesting.
And so the question was: well, who was this even appealing to?
I found this article here where they oh, strong launch for SNL UK audience, which 220.
That's really not strong.
That's really not strong.
No.
I mean, the first episode of a thing after all the advertising always gets a big bump anyway.
Look at like the rings of power.
Premieres would get the most views.
This is going to go like way down.
Yeah.
As they say, it's a good figure for Sky.
It's 3.2% of all viewers at the time.
That sounds awful.
Like, sorry.
I'm sorry.
But the thing is, they've got a really interesting point down here, right?
The US version of Saturday Night Live is actually a good benchmark, as in, oh, well, how well does that do in Britain?
As in, how popular is that?
And then maybe actually, if there's an audience there, you make something to expand or fill that audience.
No, as you can see, it gets 4.3 million viewers in America, which is not nothing, despite going out at 11:30 p.m., but only around 5,000 viewers on Sky Comedy here.
Why would you see that and go, we need a British version?
You know what the British public want?
Saturday Night Live.
Even though they've got it and they don't watch it.
This is absolutely for Americans, then it has to be right.
Like, who, whose idea was this?
That is mad.
It would make sense if what?
Millions of pounds.
That is insane.
That is actually insane.
And who did you get?
You got Tina Fay and Wet Leg?
Like 5,000 viewers for the American one.
And someone, some Einstein at Sky was like, you know what?
We're going to do a grit version.
Yeah.
200,000 viewers.
Unless there's a massive tax break or something.
But I just don't understand.
That is actually insane.
And the thing is, right?
Even, you know, the Guardian's like, well, it could have been a lot worse.
Oh, no.
They're like, oh, it didn't fail.
It's like, yeah, you want to bet?
Sure about that?
You sure it didn't fail?
I mean, look at this thing.
Impressions of Kissed Armour, sketchies about Dodgy Kins, skincare products, and some god-awful performances aside.
All of that aside, the inaugural episode's ambition was refreshing to see.
Oh, my God.
That is.
This is the mother of all participation awards.
It could not be any more damned with faint praise.
Exactly.
It is so brutal.
And that's the Guardian being like, look, this is for us, right?
We're the target audience for this.
Yes.
We know we're the target audience for this.
They don't like it.
And yeah, exactly.
It could have been a lot worse.
The thing is, the thing about these reviews, because I um on my own channel, I sometimes review, I look at like first reviews because I find it really interesting to see like who's shilling and you know, whether it's an honest gauge.
And you can always tell, like, there's people that have media access and they're like, right, I know I need to toe the line here.
So I need to say as much as I can, but I also need to be as honest as I can without losing all my credibility on both sides of this aisle.
Right.
That's what that is.
Yes.
I mean, mad.
Literally, in the article, the only quote I pulled out of it was, it could have been a lot, lot worse, and it could have been a lot better.
And there's someone in the super chat in.
It's like Britain had far funnier SNL style shows four to five years ago.
Not the nine o'clock news.
There was another one as well where Ricky Gervais got his big break.
I remember being a teenager and watching it.
And basically, Ricky Gervais come out for like five minutes and just have like a politically incorrect rant, which was funny.
And that was where he got like his big lift off on it.
I can't remember what it's called.
And he had, what was the one with the guy with the glasses?
The toothbrush.
Don't forget you toothbrush.
Degraded British Accent00:05:26
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure it's Don't Forget Your Toothbrush.
We've had, I mean, and that's another weird thing as well.
It's like, why are we importing American comedy?
We export, but that's what I mean.
I think that's why, that's why I firmly believe this is actually for Americans.
It could well be because they're going to export it.
It's not made.
The thing is, it's not being broadcast on American TV yet.
Yet, yet.
Yeah, yet.
Yeah, there must be a deal.
There must be a deal along the line.
Contemporary politics.
It doesn't.
True.
Yeah, that's true.
So it's not like, you know, old episodes of Mr. Bean.
Why did they make this then?
With the John Oliver class.
I don't know.
I honestly have no idea.
So anyway.
Do you want to know who did like it, though?
Oh, go on now.
Oh, God, who?
And honestly, right, I hate to give academic agent props on this.
Well, he liked it.
No, He didn't like it.
But the woke left are more honest than the centre-right.
The centre-right are worse than the woke left.
He's, I think, probably right because the Telegraph gave it four out of five stars.
The Telegraph.
Well, yeah, exactly.
What?
The predictions that a transatlantic SNL would crash and burn proved wide of the mark.
Was it who wrote that article?
This is a champ called Ed Power.
But like, mate, the Guardian has said no.
You don't need to do this.
Like, he says, funny in places and never actively harmful to your emotional well-being.
Oh, this is such a low standard.
It went about as well as could have been hoped.
What does it say?
Harmful to your, not harmful to yourself.
Not harmful.
Not actively harmful to your emotional well-being.
I want comedy to be so close to the edge.
I just want to be carrying it.
I just want it to be funny.
Ricky Gervaise, yeah.
Exactly.
What's the guy who does the Scottish accent?
He's a really mainstream guy.
Always does these Scottish accents about legal tender.
I don't know.
Michael McIntyre.
He was funny.
And he wasn't like edgy.
He was brilliant.
He was really funny.
He wasn't edgy.
He was just entertaining.
So comedy doesn't have to be.
I mean, don't be wrong.
I like edgy comedy as well.
But it doesn't have to be super edgy.
It just has to be funny.
McIntyre.
You don't like him?
I find that.
That's a funny guy.
But anyway, the point is, it carries on against all reasonable expectations.
This homegrown Saturday Night Live was more than capable of raising real laughs on its own.
How did he go in with such low expectations?
I assume he went in expecting.
I'm not going to say that.
There's no other explanation.
But anyway, for some reason, the Telegraph was like, brilliant, love it.
Four out of five stars.
Didn't crash and burn.
Anyway, so one funny thing did come out of this, which was the segment about Keir Starmer wasn't exactly flattering to Keir Starmer.
Although, honestly, it could have been worse.
Genuinely could have been worse.
But Donald Trump tweeted it out on his Truth Social.
So just I guess they can't just be friends even if they don't get involved in each other's life.
I guess we're done with diplomacy.
I guess we're done with diplomacy.
Yeah, so anyway, the only thing I feel a bit bad about is genuinely how obviously set up to fail this has been.
I think the numbers are just going to crater, right?
And there are lots of like young people who are part of the system, reliant on the system, don't understand that they should think outside of the system and think the system is there to help them.
And they have been essentially set up to fail on this, right?
So they're going to get probably like one season of this and Sky can be like, look, this is way too much money.
There's far too little return.
Bad luck.
And so there are a bunch of people who are essentially being told that they're funny, acting in a way that the critics are just like, this isn't funny at all.
And so the sort of reinforced, self-reinforcing delusion, oh, yeah, that's so funny, man.
That's so funny.
The 20 writers and that have all agreed that this is funny.
And they get out and it just bombs.
And it's just like, oh, that is rough.
Anyway, so yeah, so enjoy that.
De-ankification means no more Heinz beans.
Be careful what you wish for.
I don't actually eat beans.
I don't mind them.
I make my own baked beans.
I had them on a Bill English at the weekend.
I mean, you know, I'm not saying I don't mind.
I don't mind them.
I just, I never choose them, you know?
Yeah.
Although saying that, beans on toast does sound quite good, actually.
Or Jack of Potato.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
The funniest thing about SNL all spelt out, UK, is the Ludcase is reviewing it, making it a weekly segment.
Also, watching SNL UK makes American libtards feel smart and superior, which is why it was produced.
Yeah, but the thing is, there's something so degraded about Britain at the moment that the sort of people the UK are producing sound intellectually inferior to the Americans.
The accents are weaker and like, you know, it's like modern London English.
I hate it.
Yeah, the slang that has become popular right now.
The slang, the way the accent pinches words is bad, that it drops T's.
The Americans don't drop their T's.
They actually pronounce their words correctly.
And so the accent now makes them sound like inferior and more stupid than Americans, which if you think back like 30 years, you never have thought that would be possible with a British accent.
Intellectually Inferior UK00:03:08
But here we are.
Isn't there a rerun of Owner Fools and Horses or keeping up appearances on instead?
Yes.
Wet Leg would be more at home performing on the BBC.
The main lyric in their debut single was I Went to School and Got a Big D.
It seemed like resentful, degenerate modern attack, which wasn't my sort of thing.
Anyway, let's carry on and talk about how things are going to get worse.
Okay.
Speaking of comedy, let's talk about British energy policy.
Ah, well, that is darkly amusing.
That is quite amusing in all the wrong way.
But before that, I should mention that there is going to be a live event on the 11th of April here in Swindon at the Mecca starting 7 o'clock.
So please do come here and join us.
It's going to be good.
Tickets are going quickly, actually, which is nice.
It's going to be the biggest event we've ever done as well.
Yep.
I'll be by the bar drinking some tears, I think.
There is also a bar there.
So good news.
There is a bar.
So Britain proudly a year ago announced the end of all coal-fired plants.
And they were the last producing one was shut down.
And this is a tradition that dates back to the Romans, the Guardian informs us, of Britain extracting coal and using it for electricity.
Now, mind you, these plants weren't mothballed or anything.
No, no, that would have been too good.
Instead, what was done is this.
Turn the audio off.
It's just a...
Yeah.
And you see here EDF, the company responsible for blowing up this particular one.
Oh, they blew them up, did they?
So they dismantled everything within them, as opposed to just mothballing them and having them ready and available.
And then you see in a few seconds a pretty big explosion.
Oh, right, okay.
Yeah, we'll never need this again.
Yes.
That's the message.
Ed Miliband's green energy is going to solve all our problems.
Well, exactly.
I mean, even...
Slightly off topic, but not quite.
Even just leaving one up, the megastructure, it's one of those things, it's history.
It's fascinating why everyone just constantly wants to destroy everything.
Yes.
Which is why it must be destroyed.
No, but that's the point, isn't it?
Because this isn't being destroyed because it didn't work.
This isn't being destroyed because it wasn't part of our history.
Exactly.
It's being destroyed because this is a symbol of the destruction of the planet and climate change and all the sort of stuff.
It's being exactly ideologically done.
These things are morally evil.
That's why this is being done.
Yes.
And you see a few of these plants getting blown up.
Here's another one being wrecked completely.
And with the energy crisis now going on in the Middle East, this does seem like a bit of a bad idea.
It's like Germany decommissioning its nuclear power plants.
Then laughing at Trump thinking, what?
We'll be fine being dependent on Russian energy.
And then Russia invading Ukraine.
Exactly.
Energy Crisis and Coal00:15:49
Honestly, it's so stupid.
You know, you have to remember that in Britain it takes decades and decades and decades to build anything.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Just a simple road.
And just for anyone who's wondering, it's not because we can't physically build things, it's because there are layers upon layers upon layers upon layers upon layers and more layers of rules, regulations, investigations, environmental checks that we have to do before anything, before the first spade even hits the dirt.
Exactly.
They were trying to build.
They abandoned this, didn't they?
A road under Stonehenge.
Yeah, I think that costs 100 million million, right?
Yeah, I was going to say.
Nothing was built.
This was all on consultancies.
This is all on making sure that regulations were met.
And eventually it was just scrapped after spending nearly 200 million without a spade put in the ground.
It's like this is stupid, pathetic.
We are doing this to ourselves.
Yes.
And at a time like this, when you have this sort of total collapse in the energy market because of the war in the Middle East and because of the war in Ukraine, it's worth remembering that, you know, coal used to provide 65% of all electricity in Britain.
And we've got billions of tons of it.
And there are.
That's the annoying thing.
No, no, no.
All right, you're going to get it.
Let me correct you here.
Okay.
3,910 million tons.
Oh, okay.
Although total reserves could be as big as 187 billion tons.
So, yeah, you're wrong.
We don't have millions of tons.
We have billions of tons.
Just to correct you there.
And I understand coal is not just a single thing as well.
There's a scale of coal.
There are various layers of coal.
And we happen to have the best coal in the world.
British coal is actually, there are mixed reviews on the quality because of the sulfur content and how much ash it produces.
But it seems that there is more than enough for excellent quality coal for power generation and for pretty much every single industrial use around steel and carbon industries and so on and so forth.
Like Britain is sitting on a sea of coal.
It is ridiculously abundant.
I looked this up the other day.
We've got loads of iron too.
There's loads of iron.
Wow.
That would only work if we've got, you know, smelting plants.
Well, exactly.
If we didn't completely deindustrialize ourselves, we'd be able to do things.
Yep.
So not only are there these massive amounts of coal there, there are lignite resources needed for all kinds of things with metallurgy and steel production and so on and so forth.
And the problem is literally government policy that has decided that absolutely not, there shouldn't be any coal produced in Britain.
There shouldn't be any coal burned in Britain, even though the problem with the dirt of coal has been solved through various processes, like washing the coal before burning it, capturing the carbon.
Are you suggesting to me that technology has advanced since 1840?
I know it's shocking, remarkable, but it seems to be true.
Has anyone told Ed Miliband this?
He does not want to care.
He does not want to hear it.
And Britain was a net exporter of energy for many, many decades.
I bet.
And then in 2004, because of Tony Blair, Britain decided to be a net importer of energy and it's importing more and more and more energy.
It's the fascinating thing about Britain is that all the lefties are like, no, no, we can't have nuclear power.
No, no, not allowed.
Sorry, where do you think a bulk of our electricity comes from?
Yeah.
From France.
Where's their electricity come from?
Oh, yeah, nuclear power.
So you're okay importing it.
But it's also within like how much coal does China burn every year?
Oh, it's massive.
Build a new coal plant every week.
There is a completed coal plant every week in China.
And if you look at Chinese energy consumption, it is ridiculous.
And they're exceeding the United States in terms of how much energy they consume.
But this, this is the entire problem with the mainstream Libtard consensus, which is just out of sight, out of mind.
Exactly.
It's literally just no, no, we'll just let the Chinese do it.
And then we've saved the planet.
It's like, no, we're just not really a factor in what is happening anymore.
Exactly.
That's all this is.
Like, energy nationalism is going to be the primary concern for the next decade.
Exactly.
It's like, how could it be any other way?
And we've got the potential.
Like, we've got the North Sea oil, we've got the coal.
There's fracking, there's fracking.
And, you know, given their credit, yeah, we could probably have wind farms off the coast or something.
There's probably North Sea wind farms worthy.
You know, who knows?
But the point is, it's not like we don't have options.
And we're sitting here paying the highest energy costs in the world.
Rose-Royce makes mini reactors, power plants.
So this is sold off to other places instead of building our own.
Yeah, I know.
This energy crisis is completely, completely, completely solvable.
In fact, if you were looking at this just in a history book, you'd be like, you know, they're listing all of the potential energy sources Britain has.
And they'd be like, yes.
And then they went into the 2026 energy crisis.
You'd be like, how?
Exactly.
How is it possible that they were in an energy crisis?
Because of the lunatic.
That's all it is.
That's all it is.
The history books will look back at these politicians with just a deep sense of evil.
They'll look at it and be very, very, well, unkind.
Just true.
So not only is there abundant coal in Britain, rather famously, there is a place called the North Sea.
Yeah, which is already being drilled out anyway.
And it's being drilled massively by the Norwegians.
And the capacity there in reserves is 2.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent.
I guess we'll let the Norwegians have it.
Exactly.
They can profit.
Don't worry about it.
Why would we want to profit from that?
And there is so much more that could be produced from that.
There are loads of gas fields as well, aren't there?
Loads of gas fields.
Because wasn't it Denmark or Germany that are tapping those?
And for some reason, we're just like, no, we're not allowed.
But it's enough water.
Exactly.
And you could literally do something with the fish, though, as well.
Horizontal drilling.
You could literally do horizontal drilling, meaning that from Norwegian waters, they could take British gas.
Which they probably are.
And if you just look at what's been happening here, Britain used to be a pretty serious oil producer.
What year was that?
2000?
Yeah, and look at that.
That peak was in 2000.
Yeah, and then the Blairite government comes in, kills it.
And then Blair murders.
Look, the Conservatives do nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Nothing to fix this.
Absolutely nothing.
Conservatives.
Absolutely nothing.
Nothing to fix this.
And just, I wanted to mention the taxes on the North Sea oil because from 2002 to 2005, the total tax or the marginal tax was 40%.
Then in 2006, they raised it to 50%.
In 2011 to 62%, brought it down in 2015 briefly when prices were a bit too high.
Again to 40%.
And then in 2022, they took it up to 65% tax.
And now the tax rate is 78%.
I hate the government so much.
And if you have that tax, it would pretty much solve all of the problems.
Yeah.
Because they would be drilling like mad.
Well, I mean, if there's one thing you don't really want to tax, surely it's energy because that's the source of everything else you do that is a profitable endeavor.
If you're going to tax anything, don't tax the from oil and gas.
You get plastics, you get chemicals, you get fertilizer.
All of this stuff goes into building automotives, it goes into steel, it goes into every single aspect of manufacturing, it goes into medicine production.
Food production, what do you think the tractors run on?
Well, now that you mention it, this is a beautiful country for cattle.
Yes, and for very good livestock as well.
Very good livestock, very good terrain.
The problem has been how expensive fertilizer is, how over-regulated the industry is, and the result has been a 10-year decline in the size of the cattle population.
Well, that's also whilst they've been.
So, I mean, this is such there's so many knock-on effects of everything that they've been doing.
So, they've also incentivized farmers not to literally pay them.
Yes.
Don't use your land.
We'll use it for like a solar farm.
In Wales, this is the law.
In Wales, I think it's a quarter of it.
If anyone's ever wondered in the UK why we have so many floods, the agricultural land in the UK used to actually control runoff.
And now we don't do that.
So we're in flooded everything, which has a knock-on effect of destruction of the roads, flooding the drains.
Exactly.
It's absolutely madness.
Also, massive profit impact on the farmers themselves.
Yes.
Because in the summer, after heavy rains, you'll go through this countryside on the Trailsum, you see just these vast sheets of water on the fields.
It means the field can't be used.
And it's like, sorry, what are we doing this to ourselves for?
It is national suicide.
Yes.
And it's leading to a reduction in the size of the flocks of both sheep and cattle.
An island.
Because sheep is also falling and dairy production is falling.
Well, it's a good thing I don't like lamb, beef, and cheese.
An island should be self-sufficient.
Also, particularly this one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it was.
Because all of this is available.
And if you look at the input costs, one of the highest input costs is soybeans because that's needed to feed the cattle a high-protein diet.
But you could grow beans and peas in Britain, which do grow in abundance, and replace that source of protein and make this completely independent.
And Britain used to produce fertilizer, but it was reliant on natural gas.
It stopped producing natural gas.
Then there was an energy crisis after Ukraine.
And so fertilizer production collapsed.
And this was just in 2022.
It is remote.
So these are all solvable problems.
But it's not just that.
You think, like, if you were playing civilization, right?
You'd be like, okay, Britain's had a golden start.
You are naturally defensible.
You have got a lush, temperate climate.
Yes.
It doesn't get too hot, doesn't get too cold.
It's perfect for raising livestock.
It's perfect for agriculture.
We've got some of the best agricultural land in the world.
It's ridiculous.
The quality of the soil here is quite intestative for literally centuries.
Millennia.
Literally millennia.
It's the dawn of agriculture.
Exactly.
I'm from a village in Lebanon in the mountains.
My ancestors had to break up the mountains to transform them into terraces, remove the rocks, put good quality soil there, and then slowly, every few years, leave the fields fallow because the soil isn't that good.
And we have just and they managed to do it.
But here, it's the best quality soil in the world, but energy is made so expensive because of ridiculous carbon taxes and because every single megawatt hour is consumed is the cost of it is raised by 35% by Rachel Reeves.
And they decided to tax clean power after they had Gotten done with taxing carbon because it reduced their actual tax base.
Because less industry means less taxes.
They couldn't figure out a way to solve that problem, so they started taxing green energy.
Oh, God, that's such a idiot.
And if you changed that, energy prices could drop by 50%.
You just couldn't have a more fortuitous beginning and mess it up in such a comprehensive way.
Disastrous mess.
Disastrous mess.
And so, because energy is so expensive, like heating the animals in winter, that's expensive.
Making fertilizer, that's expensive.
But it's all downstream from having abundant oil and gas.
We should be living in the Garden of Eden.
Exactly.
It's not just oil and gas, primarily, of course.
But this country, we used to all have wood-burning stoves, for instance.
And they are, I've got one, I had one installed.
The stringent process you have to go through to get a very specific wood-burning stove.
It's a certain grade.
Yeah, they're completely can't banish it.
This is the thing, right?
That was the problem, you see.
But actually, if you look at carbon emissions versus the emissions are basically nothing, it's really clean energy.
Wood-burning stoves are really clean energy.
And we've got wood, but no, no, you're not allowed that.
It's as if the government is so intent on demoralizing its citizens.
You know, Britain.
Have a heat pump.
Have a heat pump.
Britain, like geologically or geographically, I can't remember, but it's literally determined as a temperate rainforest.
As in, we are literally a rainforest on this island.
Burning wood sounds like a great idea.
It's brilliant.
I love it.
I think it's great.
How do you think the British Navy was built?
It was built wood that came out of Britain.
We built massive, incredible forests here.
It's gone on for ages, like the longbow.
Like that, we literally strip mined Britain for you, and it took centuries for you to actually come back.
We had to import you from other places because we made so many bloody longbows.
But anyway, sorry.
Anyway.
So not only is the government busy making energy insanely expensive, and not only is it screwing farmers so hard that they can no longer grow cattle and sheep and have them in abundance, but they're also just randomly messing with the farmers every few years.
Yeah, do that a lot.
Like their inheritance taxes and whatnot.
And so the inheritance tax was insanely destructive.
Yeah, it's really tragic that the lives lost because of that.
Genuinely, the lives lost.
People and this and this is conscious.
You can't see the attack on farmers separate from the attack on the lords because what they're trying to go after is the people with historic memory and deep attachment to place.
That's what they're going after.
And so what did the government do?
They announced this new sustainable farming incentive scheme to pay farmers and to help them sort of maintain their land and things like that.
But they're not taxing them.
Just leave them to it.
They're paying that to rewild.
They decided to not include small farmers.
Oh, great.
So if you've got a small farm and you're sustainable on your own and you can sort of take some meat to the local abattoir and things like that, they've done everything that they can to make sure that this is impossible.
And they've removed small farmers and made sure that they no longer get supported by the state.
And then they decided that big farmers shouldn't be supported either.
So they capped the amount of money that they would give them in a year to £100,000.
And put the inheritance tax on for more than, isn't it the value of the land of £2 million or greater?
Destroying Friendly Future00:09:21
Yes, something.
I mean, that's actually not a very big farm, actually.
And it's the value of the farm.
So it could include farm equipment, which is insanely expensive.
And so they decided that they are going to force farmers to constantly downsize.
And then when they downsize enough, they stop supporting them.
So they're trying to destroy farming.
I feel like I'm in the Soviet Union.
That's exactly where you are.
Genuinely.
Yes, that's exactly where you are.
And so they do these things and they decide, no, no, no, we want to destroy small farmers.
And then they change the rules again after years of saying you want to have very species rich grasslands and you want to wild your farmland instead of using it to produce crops and wild and meat.
What?
I love a meadow as much as the next guy, but I'd rather be food sustainable.
I'd rather have my dinner.
Yeah.
Well, basically clown show.
The meadow can be good if you're farming cattle.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
But then if you reserved some land to allow it to be farmed for cattle, they decided that no, no, no, we're not going to support that anymore.
Even though for years, that's exactly what they encourage the farmers to do.
So they keep pulling off these schemes where they give the farmers a bunch of ideas and then they pull the rug from under them.
It's like whenever it's like, do you remember when everyone said you must buy a diesel car?
They're really eco-friendly.
And then they're like, no, we're going to tax you to oblivion.
Now they're actually not eco-friendly.
It's like, what?
And they did the same with electric cars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, no.
They did the same on electric cars.
We won't tax you.
No, we're going to tax you now, paper miles.
Yeah, it's because what?
Yeah, it's because the fuel duty, they weren't getting however many tick pence per mile or whatever.
Big brain attitude from the government.
They didn't realize that that would actually result in a reduction of tax.
Idiots.
And so you're seeing.
And so you're seeing this crisis in the Middle East, which is making energy insanely expensive, which is making fertilizer insanely expensive.
could be completely self-sufficient and you could be completely no no You could be exporting energy, food, and fertilizer.
Look at my low, narrow sites.
We could just be okay.
No, no, no.
You could be a superpower in this.
Exactly.
Exactly.
You could use the coal for domestic electricity and export the oil and gas and use the gas to make fertilizer here and build refineries here and be completely self-sufficient.
But Ed Miliband says no.
And so do the Conservatives.
And so do the Conservatives.
Based right-wing Conservatives.
Obviously, not.
They're not right-wing.
We don't know that.
So they keep...
When we win, I swear to God.
And the farmers, you know, this is from some kind of farmers' union website.
And they explained that, look, guys, you told us to do this.
We subscribed fully to building a nature-friendly farming ecosystem.
And we're going to do it.
And you wanted us to take care of the birds.
We take care of the birds.
You wanted us to take care of the species.
We took care of the species.
We did everything you wanted.
And then you just pulled the rug from under us.
They entered into that exchange in perfectly good faith and just got completely screwed up.
They should tell you about everything, about entering into a good faith agreement with the government, right?
Exactly.
Just don't.
Just don't do it.
Exactly.
Don't do it.
And then one year they just stopped payments for the farmers.
Oh, well, good luck.
They promised them that, yeah, we're going to pay you.
We're going to pay.
They're like, no, we're on out of budget.
We're not going to pay you anymore.
And now, with more budget cuts coming, they are probably going to cut the farming budget in the next few money.
The Somali single mothers who we've brought to here live in a social house in London.
She's getting her payment.
And of course, you know, an extra 50 million, 40 million here and there to protect mosques.
Remember, that's dogs.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But sod, the actual native farmers and the ability to have food.
Don't worry about that.
Literally billions spent on migrant hotels.
Yeah.
Exactly.
These priorities are so upside down.
It's a deep, deep evil.
This is obviously on purpose.
Yeah.
Yes.
And the farmers are begging, saying, give us some clarity on what the policy is and what you want us to do.
Like, give us a package of things that we have to do.
Tell us, this is what's required from us and tell us how much you'll pay.
And the government's answer is, no, we just want to be able to pull the rug from under you whenever we want to.
Yeah.
It's like abuse.
It is being in a gaslighting, abusive relationship.
Exactly.
Maybe if you hand the farmlands over to Somalians, then it might work.
Because Somalia is famous for its farming product, not like there's a famine there every other year.
Well, you know, Rhodesia is a great example, isn't it?
There you go.
So they keep doing this to farmers.
They keep doing this to energy.
And it's all completely deliberate.
And it is all extremely fixable.
Stop subsidizing wind energy.
Which would result in 25% reduction of our bills.
Exactly.
And that annoys me so much when you see on X or all the governments like, oh, we're going to really try hard to fix your energy bills.
Well, you're not, though.
We're doing everything possible.
No, but you're not, though.
Absolutely.
It's 25%.
Like that you can just remove.
For anyone who doesn't know, right?
British electricity and energy prices are 25% higher than whatever all of the other costs are because what they call the green energy levy.
And that's just literally, we're taking extra money off of you to pump it into like wind farms or solar panels or something.
Subsidizing that Dale Vance guy or whatever.
Yeah, turning him to a multi-millionaire.
Because you only pay a few, like he paid tens of thousands of pounds and got millions in return on the back of it.
And because the Gulf crisis, if this continues, you could see a mass exodus of funds as well as massive rises in interest rates.
And this could kick off a major banking crisis.
And British long-term debts, historic high interest rates, historic highs, this is going to cascade to Britain.
So all of this is going to have to be done.
Cutting taxes on energy, figuring out a way to increase food production.
This is going to have to be done at some point.
It's really not difficult.
Stop taxing the farmers to oblivion and allow them to grow food and sell it.
Exactly.
Stop taxing any of the energy into it.
Allow us to mine coal, allow us to drill oil, allow us to actually be what we are.
Man.
Which is an energy superpower and a food superpower.
We can do it.
We'll be all right.
And let us be.
That's all that's required.
But what keeps striking me is how solvable all of this stuff is.
That's why you know it's evil.
That is how you know it's evil.
It takes ridiculously deliberate government policy to make a country this rich in food and energy actually feel poor.
Yeah.
And if you have cheap energy and cheap food, by definition, everything else becomes cheap.
And my God, isn't the food so goddamn expensive?
Oh, geez.
It's insane.
Well, obviously, but like every meat prices are insane.
Yeah.
It's ridiculous.
£10 for a steak.
It's just like, oh my God.
Exactly.
It's completely ridiculous, but it is completely deliberate policy.
And there is no other way around it.
And so, you know, this can get much, much worse, or you can just fix this.
And it's not difficult.
Fix everything easily, but exactly.
I just want to press it.
Anyway, this last section on Britain's resources is the most frustrating one I've heard.
I knew most of it already, but hearing out loud just makes it worse.
Yeah, I know.
It's insufferable, isn't it?
It's suffering.
Meanwhile, Trump used emergency powers to reopen California and offshore drilling.
Yeah, because Trump isn't an insane environmentalist.
That's what it comes down to.
That's literally what it comes down to.
Um, it's going to be hard to convince future generations the English working class has had it rough in the mines, and therefore weren't privileged if there aren't any coal-fire power plants or mines left.
Um, I think something that could work is the national power grid that uses nothing but nuclear power.
See if you can float the idea so low.
Yeah, I mean, I'm actually totally up for that, to be honest.
Nuclear is the future, yeah, it's and it's been known to be the future for, but in the meantime, you just need this massive amount of gas to flow, yeah, you know, yeah, and the uses of oil and gas in every single other industry make it worthwhile regardless of energy policy, yeah, yeah, and it's yeah, exactly.
We, you know, we want all the other like ancillary things that oil and gas produces, obviously, yeah, but we can have free electricity, yes, for life, yes, but we're importing it at cost from France, yeah, brilliant.
And the most annoying thing about this is that like the French, when they set up their power plants, was it the 70s or whatever, right?
Like the zeitgeist of the time was, oh, yeah, nuclear energy is the way of the future because it's really clean, really cheap, and unbelievably productive.
And the French have had this sort of like brainworm in their heads for decades now, for like 50, 60 years.
While everyone else has had these stupid ideas, and the French have just been kind of really conservative on it.
And look now, they're the energy exporter, they're the ones with all the green energy, they're the ones who are doing really well.
French Nuclear Brainworm00:04:15
And it's just like we knew it as well, you know.
Anyway, let's go to the video comments.
You can't do this.
I forgive you.
Rejoice.
Doctor Who is a great example of what I mean about British TV production values.
They're shit.
It's fine.
Michael says, deploy the Navy.
That's it.
Glad I'm not in England.
Because I would have included what the Navy should have been doing to the invading small boats.
That's a random name.
Says this segment is further evidence that adult life in the first world is just playground politics.
Female teachers brutally enforce tolerance by obligating all the kids to be friends because freedom of association beliefs is evil unless you share these neurotic hags' beliefs.
Yeah, it's mad, isn't it?
Imperium Welder says, This is literally like the old South Park episode, the death camp of tolerance.
Oh, it is actually, isn't it?
I didn't even know there was an episode called The Death Camp of Tolerance.
Yeah, no, and it's exactly that.
If you're not tolerant, you lose everything.
Oh, okay.
Is there a GoFundMe for this chap?
I feel like we should give him a hand.
I've no idea.
Omar says, This is why I find it more and more plausible that they decriminalized abortion until birth to cover for the rape gangs.
They'll jail you for asking the Navy to police the channel.
They'll jail you for questioning while asking so many children and young teens need late-term abortions or praying for their lost souls in your own head.
And there's so many other just wild trivialities that have become on the topic of like the praying.
It's like mass mass eed prayers.
Yeah.
That's absolutely fine.
Praying near an abortion clinic in your head.
That's a crime.
You're being arrested.
Stella Crease, even like mental Stella Crease coming out and being like, you can't abort until the point of birth.
Handmaid's tail.
I'm going to visit the local mosque, so I'm going to put on my wimple or whatever.
It's like, oh, just anyway.
Yeah.
Insufferable.
Insufferable.
Nick Laws hiding in his hate bunker says, I've not cringed this hard since the American version of The Inbetweeners.
Ooh.
Yeah, no, no, there was a failed American attempt at these.
I can tell that wouldn't work from what it is.
Exactly.
Yeah, no.
Obviously.
Michael says SNL was funny back in the 70s and 80s, pretty much shit after that.
Michael Myers was a bit of a bright spot.
Jimbo says the BBC want you to pay for them, want you to pay them for the privilege of calling you a child murderer if you dissent.
Yeah, but this was Sky.
That's the thing.
This wasn't even funded by the taxpayer.
So this is millions of pounds that Sky have pissed down the drain.
Thank God we didn't.
No, I think this is a reference to the Freedom of Information thing.
Oh, no, yeah, that's a reference to the freedom of information thing.
SNL UK was made for Zach Polanski to guest host.
You know what, though?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
He says you know it's coming.
That's a great point, Jimbo.
Yep.
That is a great point.
It is very utterly inevitable, actually.
I can't imagine him being funny, though.
No, obviously.
Unintentionally funny, talking about loop hypnosis, but yeah.
Henry says, they know SNL UK is doing from the start.
It's on 10 p.m. on a Saturday.
So once you take out the people on a night out, as soon as the news is over, is over on the BBC, it's up against match of the day.
Yeah, there's like this thing.
Why are they doing it?
Is this some sort of reparations for the people involved?
That's why I still think it's for America, but if there's no deal in place, it's not.
I don't get it.
But as far as I'm aware, it hasn't been broadcast on America.
And because it's contemporary politics.
No, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I can't imagine.
Michael says, correction for us.
SNL went downhill after the original cast left.
John Belushi, Lorraine Newman, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin, and we won't mention Chobe Chase, who sucks.
But again, big names there, right?
Incapable Country Leaders00:03:14
Yes.
You know those names.
Who are these guys?
There was no charisma in this at all.
And so it's not going anywhere.
George Hamp says, SNL UK is aggressively unfunny, just like the US version.
I guess the lefties do have a point about de-yankification.
Well, that's the point.
It's like, you know, come on, guys.
Are we de-yankifying this?
Michael says, it's not just poor tech, it's terrible contracts.
Wind farms that are paid not to produce, or if they overproduce, but the energy is wasted, these payments can be in the billions.
Oh, yeah, that's the contract of difference.
Oh, contract for a difference.
I don't know about this.
Okay, so basically, if a wind farm produces less costly in a way that's less costly than everyone else, they get paid.
Yeah.
If they produce, but it's more expensive than everyone else, they don't.
No, there's a sort of median price that they set, a price that they decide on, the government.
And then they make sure that the wind farms get taken care of no matter what, but their profit.
So they equalize the profit.
It's a contract for a difference.
So it's intended to make sure that everything is equal, regardless of what the market says.
Why wouldn't you want the cheapest?
Oh, my God.
I hate this country.
The people running this country anyway.
Anyway, Diodoni says, imagine blowing up your old power plants before integrating nuclear into the grid.
Yes.
Didn't need to be Agamemnon burning his ships to prevent the retreat from this sort of transition, but politicians seem incapable of actually planning one three months ahead.
Well, I mean, it's not that they seem incapable.
It's literally their stated policy.
For anyone too young to remember, in 2011, there was in 2010, there was the coalition government between Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
Liberal Democrats and Conservatives.
Sorry, yeah, Liberal Democrats and Conservatives.
Same thing.
Yeah, exactly.
It made no difference.
Exactly.
It made no difference.
Yeah, exactly.
Like the transition seamlessly from Blair to coalition to conservatives.
Yeah, nothing changed.
But Nick Clegg was asked about this.
Are you going to put nuclear into place?
And he said, no, it'll take 10 years.
But in 2020, we really could have used that.
I intended to be still around 10 years.
That's why Restore Britain is the most important party because it's, again, it's thinking in terms of generations, which everyone should.
Let's leave this country better.
But the point that I'm making is the point I'm making is this isn't them being incapable of planning three months ahead.
This is them knowing, oh, yeah, no, that'll just take a long time.
We won't actively, because if they couldn't do it, okay, at least you can be like, well, you can't do that.
Again, it's because they don't lost the capacity.
But it's because they don't care.
They don't care.
They could have done.
They were asked if they were going to, and they said, no, that won't benefit us personally.
Yep.
It's the same.
I can't remember who it was, but it's the same as the Pakistani grooming gangs where they were like, well, we knew about it, but it wasn't politically expedient.
George Ospo.
Yes.
We couldn't do anything political with it, so we didn't do anything.
What?
Imagine not being able to do anything political with that as well.
It's the same kind of principle with energy.
So we can't do anything political with it, so we just won't do it.
So you just don't actually care about the country then.
Why are you in charge?
Infuriating Welsh Coal00:01:55
How has this happened?
Like, what?
Why are you leading a country that you despise?
Yeah, I know.
It's infuriating.
It's infuriating.
We're laughing because otherwise I'd be fucking spitting and swearing and slamming the desk.
And I say, ha ha ha, isn't this ridiculous in the country I live in?
Omar says, we have a dozen fuel everything easily switches fiercely restricted by layers of bureaucracy to ensure we can only ask someone else to flip theirs at our great expense.
Exactly.
Never a more succinct description of Britain's energy policy.
That's exactly what's happening.
And I just, I just, I just can't wait until this fucking election, man.
We restore brain have to win.
We just have to smash everything.
Henry says, British coal, especially Welsh coal, is very good quality.
It's so good that it becomes a plot point in Thomas the Tank engine.
One of the trains was underpowered because they had too small a firebox and needed special Welsh coal to compensate for that.
I'm pretty sure every train autist knows that Welsh coal is the best coal.
I don't know anything about coal, so you know.
But and this is not even going on about like someone here, Cost says, well, it's alternative energy, not clean energy.
And that's a great point because the production processes for things like solar panels and wind turbines and things like that are not themselves clean.
So, you know, there's all and the disposal of them as well.
It's just one of those things where we live in a world of lies, man.
Anyway, so thank you for joining us, folks.
In half an hour, for us, we'll be live on No Cases with his Real Politique talking about what's actually happening with the Trump deal with Iran.
Again, I just can't bring myself to believe that he's going to endure this monumental climb down, but what are you going to do?
And of course, go and follow the link in the description, get your tickets to the live event because it's going to be brilliant.
