=== Hereditary Peers and History (14:49) ===

[00:00:00]  Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters.
[00:00:02]  It is episode 1407 and it is Wednesday, 29th of April, year of our Lord, 2026.
[00:00:10]  I'm joined by Harry.
[00:00:11]  Hello.
[00:00:11]  And also special guest Josh.
[00:00:13]  Hello.
[00:00:14]  So, what are we going to be talking about?
[00:00:16]  We're going to be talking about why a hereditary peer is having to explain to a Tamil why he gets to be part of the country.
[00:00:25]  We're going to be talking about a man who may or may not be Welsh.
[00:00:30]  Ambiguously Welsh.
[00:00:31]  Ambiguously Welsh.
[00:00:32]  So he's dark enough to be.
[00:00:34]  Well, she's slightly lighter than Josh, but um, yes, but heritage is questionable, right?
[00:00:40]  I get a lot of sunshine these days when I'm rattling my tin can outside.
[00:00:44]  This is true, you can see him on the streets of Swindon, it's quite the spectacle.
[00:00:48]  And you're going to be giving us something uplifting?
[00:00:50]  Uh, no, I'm going to be talking about the worst horrors migrants have committed in Europe in the past couple of weeks.
[00:00:56]  Oh, a fun, right?
[00:00:57]  Well, that'd be a nice note to end on.
[00:00:58]  You're welcome, leave everybody in a cheery state of mind to at least it's a sunny day, they've got that for yeah, going for them.
[00:01:05]  So, I wanted to start with something that has been going around on social media that instantly revolted me the moment that I saw it.
[00:01:14]  It is a Channel 4 mini documentary where basically a hereditary lord is being asked to justify why he has a place in the country and any sort of role in the government of that country.
[00:01:30]  You'll see what I mean.
[00:01:31]  Let's just watch some of it and you'll get a gist and see where I'm coming from on this.
[00:01:39]  This is the modern.
[00:01:40]  This is the most modern room in the house.
[00:01:42]  This is the most modern room.
[00:01:43]  Yeah, this is built in the 1840s, 1850s.
[00:01:48]  This is Powderham Castle, home of the Earl of Devon.
[00:01:51]  His ancestors were beheaded and exiled by the Tudors.
[00:01:54]  But it's a different type of defenestration taking place now under the Labour government.
[00:01:58]  The Earl is set to lose his seat in the House of Lords.
[00:02:01]  You know, this has been the seat of the Earl of Devon, who happens to play a role in Parliament that the Earl of Devon has done since the title was created in 1142.
[00:02:09]  In a lot of other.
[00:02:10]  Cultures, you know, you'd seek to preserve that heritage.
[00:02:14]  The end of this parliamentary session marks the final chapter of the hereditary peers, members of the lords who inherited their titles through their families.
[00:02:22]  What will I be right?
[00:02:24]  So, first of all, um, let's talk a little bit about the Earl of Devon, shall we?
[00:02:29]  So, neck of the woods, yeah, yes, indeed.
[00:02:31]  Uh, in fact, let's have a look at it.
[00:02:33]  Um, there we go.
[00:02:34]  So, here's the Earl of Devon, uh, and here he is in Powderham Castle.
[00:02:40]  Powderham Castle, there we go.
[00:02:42]  In Devon.
[00:02:44]  Now, this is a, you know, obviously, as you have guessed, Devon.
[00:02:49]  So his family have been sort of a regional power broker over this kind of whole region.
[00:02:54]  And weirdly, the Isle of Wight, I'm not sure how that fitted in, but whatever.
[00:02:58]  He was a sort of, you know, local magnate in this area.
[00:03:01]  And this is a title that actually goes back pre 1066.
[00:03:05]  So it would have been originally the Alderman of Devon, which is a sort of old, you know, back when, for example, King Alfred was on the throne, that would have been a thing.
[00:03:14]  Saxon title, yeah.
[00:03:15]  Saxon title, exactly right.
[00:03:17]  And, um, well, the so subjugating your ancestors, then yes, that's right.
[00:03:23]  Although they didn't, you might have been a foot down that way, footman or man at arms or something.
[00:03:28]  You could have been helping with the subjugation, that's true.
[00:03:30]  Although I don't have much Anglo Saxon ancestry, so probably true.
[00:03:34]  Yes, we've seen your DNA, probably would have been, yes, oppressed.
[00:03:37]  Yes, so originally, the title was under the red of you, Harris.
[00:03:43]  Uh, no, let's look at a few knocks on Josh, why not.
[00:03:49]  So originally, these started.
[00:03:49]  It's ancient blood rivalries, Dan.
[00:03:51]  Don't worry about it.
[00:03:52]  I'll win in the end, Harry.
[00:03:53]  Don't you worry.
[00:03:55]  Well, I mean, if the Celts are going by the way that the Welsh are right now, then.
[00:03:59]  Look, compared to me, you're both foreign.
[00:04:00]  So stop your pissing contest.
[00:04:03]  Right.
[00:04:04]  Yeah, so it would have been originally under the Redivirs, who made the unforgivable sin of running out of male children.
[00:04:12]  So it passed by marriage to the Courtneys, which of course has a whiff of the French about it.
[00:04:17]  So they would have been the 1066 lot.
[00:04:20]  And basically, this family has been sort of in residence in this area.
[00:04:25]  They are the very definition of a somewhere.
[00:04:28]  The strongest definition of a somewhere that you get.
[00:04:31]  A line going back, you know, at least a thousand and a half years, if not longer, certainly through the paternal line and a thousand years for the paternal.
[00:04:41]  So, yeah, that's who the Earl of Devon is.
[00:04:44]  And I'll come back to his interlocutor in a moment.
[00:04:46]  But yes, let's just go back to this because he starts off here, the interlocutor, asking him to explain himself.
[00:04:53]  Chapter of the hereditary peers, members of the lords who inherited their titles through their families.
[00:04:59]  What will I be missing?
[00:05:00]  Once you're gone from the House of Lords?
[00:05:02]  You know, I think.
[00:05:03]  What will I be missing?
[00:05:05]  I just wanted to comment on that.
[00:05:07]  You're missing that continuity of the House.
[00:05:09]  I think you're missing certain members of the House that are not there for political purposes.
[00:05:13]  They're there, yes, by birthright, but they're there by a sense of duty and a sense of service.
[00:05:20]  I think hereditaries also bring a multi generational view of what we're doing.
[00:05:25]  You've said that argument before in terms of.
[00:05:27]  And he's absolutely right.
[00:05:29]  Yeah, well, the whole purpose of the House of Lords is.
[00:05:32]  To be a bulwark against the short termism of the Commons.
[00:05:36]  And at the minute, we're suffering a horrendous case of short termism in successive governments.
[00:05:42]  And so, actually, were the Lords more empowered, actually, I think with hereditary peers, I think it would actually correct a lot of the wrongs.
[00:05:50]  Because, as he's rightfully saying, if you've got a continuity that spans basically a thousand years, the best part of it, then you've got a long view of your country and its history.
[00:06:01]  Also, if you look back a thousand years and that's in your mind, You're also inclined to look forward a thousand years.
[00:06:06]  Exactly.
[00:06:07]  And it's the perfect antidote to the perennial problem of modern politics that people need to be grounded in a place.
[00:06:15]  We've got these sort of globalist types in the commons.
[00:06:19]  And by the very nature of them being set in one place, in one house, having one title that is passed down, they're the complete opposite of that.
[00:06:31]  I did see some people push back on social media against this and saying, well, I've got ancestors that go back a thousand years.
[00:06:37]  I mean, yes, in the very loose literal sense that presumably your father had a father and he had a father and added for Nightmare.
[00:06:43]  That would make sense.
[00:06:44]  Yes.
[00:06:44]  Yeah, no one just climbs out of the.
[00:06:47]  Well, this is true, but can anyone on this panel name who their ancestor in the Crusades was?
[00:06:54]  Because I bloody well can't, being a commoner.
[00:06:56]  Nope.
[00:06:57]  I do want to look into it, but not off the top of my head now.
[00:06:59]  Yes, exactly.
[00:07:01]  The difference between having a vague understanding that you may have had an ancestor who was alive a thousand years ago is not the same thing as being able to say who it was.
[00:07:11]  Point to the bloody picture on the wall and have this clear continuity in your mind that, as you say, traverses back a thousand years.
[00:07:18]  Well, an interesting thing about population bottlenecks due to like mass famine and disease and such, like the Black Plague, go back far enough, maybe you share an ancestor with this chap here.
[00:07:29]  It's entirely possible.
[00:07:30]  I don't.
[00:07:31]  Well, yeah, that's the thing.
[00:07:33]  He's part of the direct line that has made an effort to keep track of this, whereas your family just stopped bothering at some point, presumably.
[00:07:41]  Oh.
[00:07:42]  Well, no, it's just that it's the only line, you know, the titled lines were the only ones that were recorded because obviously in the past most people weren't literate.
[00:07:51]  But he can claim to have had ancestors at least a thousand years back in time that have affected the course of British history more significantly than the vast majority of households and families.
[00:08:06]  But I think your core point is a good one, which is they are outside the short termism and the media cycle which politics operates on.
[00:08:13]  Had any of our ancestors gone into politics, they probably would have been busy trying to pay the mortgage or make a living or feed the mindset in Scotland.
[00:08:22]  Because my surname is a derivative of Fairholme, which was a Scottish noble family.
[00:08:26]  Right.
[00:08:27]  Yeah, very good.
[00:08:28]  Well, they're the nice half of the family, and we like them.
[00:08:32]  What's wrong with his Devon side of the family?
[00:08:35]  Well, commoners.
[00:08:36]  That's my whole point.
[00:08:37]  We owned a nice farm, it was lovely.
[00:08:40]  Well, maybe upper class commoners, but commoners all the same.
[00:08:43]  I'm not digging you.
[00:08:44]  I'm from commoner stock myself.
[00:08:47]  The point is that if you live in a bloody castle, you're not driven by short termism and political cycles and media headlines and trying to make a Career for yourself.
[00:08:57]  I mean, theoretically, yeah, like potentially and more likely, but I don't know.
[00:09:03]  This guy's a barrister as well, so I'm interested to see what he's actually done legally, which kind of causes that.
[00:09:09]  No, it's important, isn't it?
[00:09:10]  Because it said on his Wikipedia page that he's a barrister, and I'm just thinking, like, I don't know, has he stuck up for the human rights of refugees or anything like that?
[00:09:18]  Because what we're talking about is theoretical and abstract, whereas the lords are not just an abstract concept, they're real people, and to which my question becomes, what have they done?
[00:09:31]  Before I just go immediately supporting them.
[00:09:33]  As an institution and an abstract part of British history, I can completely support it.
[00:09:39]  I do have a comment on that, but I'll let the interlocutor run a bit before coming back on that particular point.
[00:09:45]  In terms of like, you know, your lineage can go back hundreds of years, back towards the Crusades.
[00:09:48]  I've never really understood, or if you could explain, sort of, if your family was involved in the Crusades, how that is relevant today.
[00:09:53]  A country that forgets its history forgets its responsibilities.
[00:09:58]  And the point around the Crusades, the point about our relationship with the Middle East, Um, it, it was illustrated today on a piece I heard on the news where there was a journalist who was there in Iran in the, in the 1950s, you know, when the first oil men were getting off the aeroplanes to, to, to, to capture the oil of Iran for Britain.
[00:10:14]  It's like, if you forget about this history, you begin to think that other people are responsible, that it's not our responsibility.
[00:10:18]  Well, it is our responsibility.
[00:10:20]  And having members in one chamber of your parliament who have that collective memory that goes back centuries allows you as a, um, as, as a government, as a parliament to, as it were, retain that memory and to use it.
[00:10:32]  So, can't you turn?
[00:10:32]  So, so he's very much going for the, Responsibility line.
[00:10:37]  I'll carry on, but I just thought I'd.
[00:10:39]  And historical memory also, this is a completely futile exercise, frankly, because you can't reconstruct traditions to an outsider.
[00:10:49]  Clearly, this is an outsider.
[00:10:51]  You can't justify them by first principle basis.
[00:10:55]  It has to come from this is what we do, this is the history and tradition of my people.
[00:11:00]  You have no say in this.
[00:11:02]  Because ultimately, he's never going to have any connection to it, he's never going to have any care or concern for it.
[00:11:07]  So he can ultimately always resort back to the line of.
[00:11:09]  Well, why should that affect me?
[00:11:11]  Why should I care?
[00:11:12]  Well, yes, as he says, I mean, I've got a history degree.
[00:11:14]  So, I mean, okay, fine, yeah, but your history degree would have taught you that this man's ancestors are evil, whereas he will have a completely different perspective of it.
[00:11:21]  But I'll run on.
[00:11:22]  And that on its head and say, well, actually, you know, the problems with the Middle East are historical.
[00:11:26]  And part of that problem is an aristocracy who made mistakes.
[00:11:28]  We've moved towards a situation where we don't want aristocrats making mistakes and messing up the world.
[00:11:33]  We want democratically elected politicians to make those decisions.
[00:11:36]  If you.
[00:11:37]  So, I mean.
[00:11:39]  Yes, I mean, he stops himself from saying, we want democratically elected politicians making those mistakes.
[00:11:44]  The core problem of British history is not that the Lord Devon's ancestors made mistakes.
[00:11:50]  The core problem is that the Lord Devon's ancestors did not make enough of what Kieran Moodley thinks are mistakes.
[00:11:59]  If his ancestors had made more of what Kieran Moodley considers to be mistakes, we wouldn't be in this place in the first instance.
[00:12:06]  So, yes, I continue to be irritated by this man immensely.
[00:12:10]  Let's play a little bit more.
[00:12:10]  Assuming I can make the mouse work.
[00:12:15]  Does anybody know how to do history?
[00:12:16]  If you think it's better to have no memory and you think it's better to govern with no thought to history, then I agree with you.
[00:12:23]  But I personally feel that you need to learn from history and you really need, and if you have the ability to encapsulate within your parliamentary system a little bit of history, I'm not saying it needs to dominate.
[00:12:32]  I certainly, obviously, wholly agree with you that aristocrats should not dominate, should not take a lead within our parliamentary system.
[00:12:36]  I mean, I have history degrees.
[00:12:37]  I have history degrees.
[00:12:38]  Other politicians have history degrees.
[00:12:39]  We study history.
[00:12:40]  I mean, I understand your point, but getting rid of hereditary doesn't mean we forget our history, does it?
[00:12:43]  It doesn't entirely.
[00:12:44]  All right, so let's do a little bit on the interlocutor now.
[00:12:49]  As I mentioned, it's uh Kiran Moodley.
[00:12:52]  Um, this is the chap now.
[00:12:55]  Um, he doesn't have a Wikipedia page with family history and a family crest and all the rest of it, but we we can we can sensibly guess uh from the surname that he he he's uh he's from from the Dravidian people, probably a Tamil because that is a sort of South Indian, Northern Sri Lankan, uh, very common name.
[00:13:16]  So, here we go, Kiran Moodley.
[00:13:19]  From about this region, northern Sri Lanka, southern India, who is making a British lord explain his role in the country.
[00:13:34]  Well, you know that there's a.
[00:13:37]  I mean, when you're talking about history, surely he's getting a little bit of a kick out of it, given what he would assume to have been the subjugation of his people 100 years ago by those types.
[00:13:48]  Well, yes.
[00:13:49]  Is this just a little form of ethnic vengeance on his part, like forcing this man of infinitely higher station than him to explain himself?
[00:13:59]  And the other man, to be fair, I mean, the Lord is not doing a great job.
[00:14:04]  He comes across a bit desperate and pathetic.
[00:14:07]  He should be sat there, relaxed as he likes, going, I shouldn't have to justify myself.
[00:14:11]  I mean, in an ideal.
[00:14:13]  And then being like, of course, I agree that the aristocrat shouldn't have all the power.
[00:14:17]  Why not you cuck?
[00:14:18]  I mean, ideally, he would have cleaved him in half.
[00:14:22]  With a sword from the back of his horse.
[00:14:24]  Or at the very least, at the very least, he should have just leaned back in his chair slightly and rung a bell.
[00:14:31]  And then a butler would step forward.
[00:14:33]  And you don't know where he's come from.
[00:14:35]  As if he's always been there.
[00:14:36]  He just steps forward and he's there.
[00:14:37]  And he would have said to the butler, This man is off of my estate.
[00:14:40]  And the next 90 seconds will release the hounds.
[00:14:43]  That should have been.
[00:14:45]  You're correct.
[00:14:45]  We need to begin punishing insolence again.
[00:14:47]  Yes.
[00:14:48]  Yes.

=== The 1911 Parliament Act Reform (14:49) ===

[00:14:49]  So, I mean, we kind of moved from.
[00:14:52]  You know, the famous Logan Hall meme of, you know, allow me to explain your country's identity to you and how it includes me.
[00:15:01]  We kind of moved beyond that at this point.
[00:15:03]  We've now moved to, you have to explain your country, how your country includes you to me.
[00:15:11]  Seems a little bit backwards, doesn't it?
[00:15:13]  And I've got to point out, your spelling is as spectacular as ever.
[00:15:16]  Thank you.
[00:15:19]  Now, actually, as a Tamil, Mr. Moodley does have interesting history.
[00:15:25]  So, about the same time as the Crusades, I don't know how many of you are familiar with this, but the Battle of Copham would have been going on, and the whole Cholian Wars under chaps with outstanding moustaches like this, and not to mention a bit of Indian bling, as they are wont to do.
[00:15:49]  Now, the Cholian conflicts, that's serious history, that is.
[00:15:53]  I mean, you could make the argument that they are logistically as complex as the Crusades.
[00:15:59]  You know, they were at scale.
[00:16:01]  There was a lot of involved, a lot of man movement.
[00:16:03]  There was even some blue water battles as a part of this.
[00:16:06]  I mean, it was, I mean, that is a rich and viable history.
[00:16:10]  And I don't think that I, as an Englishman, am entitled to go to either Northern Sri Lanka or Southern India and start lecturing them on their history and why their country should include me and why I should get a say on how their politics work.
[00:16:26]  If it wasn't for Britain, they wouldn't know much of their history because, wasn't it, wasn't it, um, That a British aristocrat actually deciphered Sanskrit.
[00:16:37]  I might be misremembering this, but there's some grain of truth here.
[00:16:41]  But basically, it unlocks the key to reading lots about Indian history, which they wouldn't have had were the British not there.
[00:16:48]  So, this is not exactly a good point.
[00:16:51]  And in fact, we've probably done more for them than they have for us in that respect.
[00:16:56]  Well, I mean, pad out your case, Josh.
[00:16:59]  I mean, what have the Indians done for us?
[00:17:00]  I mean, if you were to list the top, I don't know, five things, what would you say?
[00:17:05]  Sports spices, perhaps?
[00:17:07]  Well, there's that 45 trillion we nix off them, isn't there?
[00:17:11]  Yeah, the value of probably our entire economy several times over that somehow.
[00:17:17]  I don't know what happened.
[00:17:18]  Did we drop a lot of the treasure in the ocean on the way over?
[00:17:21]  It's difficult to say.
[00:17:22]  For lols, yes.
[00:17:24]  Yeah, they've got some good incense sticks.
[00:17:27]  Their influence on some of the late 60s music with the sitar was kind of interesting.
[00:17:33]  It's sort of dropping off a little bit.
[00:17:36]  So.
[00:17:37]  Would you say that's of equal value to rediscovering their history for them, giving them infrastructure systems of governance?
[00:17:43]  First railway in Asia, massively raising their living standards, teaching them modern agriculture, actually stabilising the region to stop internal conflict.
[00:17:53]  Sure, there were atrocities committed by us, but also it wasn't like it was all sunshine and rainbows.
[00:18:00]  But they were committing atrocities against each other en masse for centuries.
[00:18:04]  And I also find it amusing that a country that's so.
[00:18:08]  Basically, overpopulated, and people say, Oh, there was the modern agriculture we gave them.
[00:18:13]  Well, in part, but also, so maybe the atrocity was giving them modern agriculture.
[00:18:18]  There's a case for it, I suppose.
[00:18:21]  Yeah, I'll play a bit more at all, but it also, by having them present within the parliamentary system, means you are necessarily respecting and being somewhat deferential to the history that brought us to where we are today.
[00:18:32]  And is this also not just part of our history?
[00:18:33]  I mean, one of the things about our continuity and our constitution is that it evolves, it's unwritten, and it moves.
[00:18:37]  And this is just part of that evolution.
[00:18:39]  Yeah, yeah, so in the world, you know, I'm at this moment.
[00:18:41]  Yeah, and I'm personally really pleased to have been able to be here at the end of the role of the Frederick Beers.
[00:18:46]  I'm not going to fight it.
[00:18:47]  The Earl may not have fought to stay on, but plenty of others did.
[00:18:51]  I mean, come on.
[00:18:52]  I mean, come on.
[00:18:54]  I'm not going to fight it.
[00:18:55]  Then what is the point of you?
[00:18:57]  Oh, yes.
[00:18:57]  We look back and we look to the future and we carry on the traditions of this country.
[00:19:01]  Something comes along that completely upends the traditions of this country and insults its history.
[00:19:07]  Well, I'm not going to fight it.
[00:19:08]  Okay, well, maybe it is good that you're going in that case because you are completely useless.
[00:19:12]  Well, exactly right.
[00:19:14]  I mean, not just him, but, you know, his forebearers as well, the previous Lord Devons and all of the rest of the Lords.
[00:19:20]  I mean, there's a long history of this.
[00:19:21]  I mean, it all started with bloody Lloyd George and the 1911 Parliament Act.
[00:19:26]  Yeah, I was going to say that there's not a lot he can do with his power at the minute because of liberal reforms.
[00:19:33]  Because his predecessors didn't fight the 1911 Parliament Act.
[00:19:37]  But then by the time that we get to this point, we have a man who is so cucked and mewling that he's not even going to kick up a fuss about it.
[00:19:46]  He's just going to do one interview with an above his station Tamil and just go, Oh, I won't fight it, though.
[00:19:52]  I'll give you a quick first principles explanation of why I should be allowed to live in this country as someone who descends from lords going back a thousand years.
[00:20:01]  And then I'll just shrug my shoulders and go, oh, well, that's just the Times, I suppose.
[00:20:05]  I would say I put out an interview request to him.
[00:20:07]  So I'm certainly not going to agree with the cucked bit.
[00:20:11]  But I do feel there is value in him trying to be a bit more assertive on this one.
[00:20:16]  But certainly his ancestors should have been more assertive.
[00:20:18]  They should have quashed that 1911 Parliament.
[00:20:21]  In fact, when they got that, they should have immediately proposed their own bill to abolish the House of Commons.
[00:20:25]  I mean, there was also the fact that Tony Blair got rid of a fair number of hereditary peers.
[00:20:30]  There have been a number of battles lost, perhaps before he's able to.
[00:20:34]  1911 Parliament Act, the 1949 Parliament Act under Attlee.
[00:20:38]  There was the Life Peerage Act in 1958 under Harold Macmillan.
[00:20:41]  1998, where Blair.
[00:20:43]  1999, House of Lords Act.
[00:20:45]  Yep.
[00:20:45]  1999, was it?
[00:20:46]  Okay.
[00:20:47]  And then the latest bit of Van Listers finishing it off.
[00:20:50]  And every single time these men just, what, rolled over and just let it happen?
[00:20:55]  Yes.
[00:20:55]  I mean,.
[00:20:56]  Just going to continually let you strip us of our powers because ultimately, what we want is a fancy cigar smoking.
[00:21:01]  Well, kind of what I'm driving at here is the Lords, which at one time it would have been inconceivable that the Lords would not have played a role in the government of the British.
[00:21:12]  Over the space of 100 years, it's just all been stripped away, chunk by chunk by chunk.
[00:21:17]  I mean, to be fair, Harold Macmillan was a conservative, but it's a long series of Liberals and Labour, yes, slicing away at this.
[00:21:27]  What do we think is going to happen to the.
[00:21:29]  If this can happen to the lords in the space of 100 years, what's going to happen to the rest of us in the next 100 years?
[00:21:34]  It's going to be the same thing.
[00:21:35]  It's going to be a slice at a time until we're basically just removed from the political system.
[00:21:39]  Nothing's sacred in this country anymore, is it?
[00:21:41]  I mean, you look at our history, our proud history, and you look at who actually has done significant acts, who's acted heroically on the battlefield, who has done things that have tangibly improved the lives of the people in this country.
[00:21:56]  And it's very disproportionately.
[00:21:59]  Men with titles.
[00:22:01]  And, you know, it might not make people comfortable, but it wasn't the common politician.
[00:22:06]  And it still is not.
[00:22:08]  Well, I think the best system of governance we ever had was led by, you know, not just hereditary lords, but men of good breeding as a whole.
[00:22:17]  Because, I mean, even under the Victorian era, the people in the Commons would have been quite often second and third sons of nobility.
[00:22:23]  Even in our lifetimes, the quality of the people in the Commons has drastically decreased.
[00:22:29]  And they're basically just placeholders for corporate interests now, aren't they?
[00:22:33]  And I acknowledge, I mean, your point that he hasn't articulated his argument in a forceful way, in an assertive way.
[00:22:41]  And maybe he could have made the arguments better and more convincing.
[00:22:44]  But nevertheless, if the decision of government was these two, between these two men, when one of them was presented with the issue of the rape gangs back in whenever it was, would his instinct have been to brush it under the carpet or get the constabulary involved?
[00:23:00]  Whereas obviously the Labour politicians at the time, which I'm sure Mr Moodley identifies more with, were perfectly happy to do so.
[00:23:07]  I mean, there's a long series of things that.
[00:23:10]  Was he presented with that information, tried to do something about it?
[00:23:13]  I don't know.
[00:23:13]  I don't know if his full vet was very different.
[00:23:15]  He's really gone on much in Devon, to be honest.
[00:23:18]  To the same degree, at least.
[00:23:19]  The point is that men like that would not have taken the series of decisions that have led us downhill as comprehensively as we have been over the last 50 years.
[00:23:28]  Well, did the Queen ever speak up about it?
[00:23:30]  No.
[00:23:31]  Has King Charles said anything about it, or has he just thrown balls at the Queen?
[00:23:36]  Well, I mean, that's actually how the 1911 Parliament Act came to be because David Lloyd George went off to the King and said, Well, look, can I just create hundreds of new Liberal peers then?
[00:23:45]  And the King went along with it.
[00:23:46]  So, yes, the monarch has not been strong on defending the House of Windsor.
[00:23:53]  Yes.
[00:23:54]  Yes, they don't have a line that goes back quite this far, do they?
[00:23:59]  There was one bit of this Channel 4 thing that I did agree with, although you did have to turn on subtitles for it, and that was this.
[00:24:16]  Oh, you got there.
[00:24:16]  Well done.
[00:24:18]  That's me done.
[00:24:19]  Next.
[00:24:20]  All right, then.
[00:24:20]  We've got quite a few rumble rants for the moment.
[00:24:23]  So, here you go.
[00:24:26]  There they are down there.
[00:24:29]  That's a random name for $1.
[00:24:33]  Presumably not a hereditary lord.
[00:24:36]  He does send lots of them in.
[00:24:37]  That is true.
[00:24:38]  I will give him that.
[00:24:39]  Treats us like cheap strippers, doesn't he?
[00:24:41]  Yes.
[00:24:43]  And again, when we met him in person, he was remarkably ethnic.
[00:24:48]  So he is just basically trying to nickel and dim us in that kind of.
[00:24:51]  Did he come to the live event then?
[00:24:53]  Yeah.
[00:24:53]  Oh, I like him then.
[00:24:54]  All right.
[00:24:55]  That's what I'm going to do for it, though.
[00:24:56]  We're only teasing.
[00:24:58]  I'm not.
[00:24:59]  Wasn't the Lords directly participating in abolishing his own position?
[00:25:04]  Yeah, they quite often do that.
[00:25:08]  He also says, Abelard, crush this man's testicles.
[00:25:12]  Samson, if he was a Lord.
[00:25:14]  Okay.
[00:25:15]  Yes, why not?
[00:25:16]  I mean, it's one way of dealing with press.
[00:25:20]  Uchigador says, punishing insolence would get rid of half of social media really fast.
[00:25:27]  Yes, I think that's the key thing we need to take away from this.
[00:25:31]  Stiglestone says, the British Empire didn't subjugate.
[00:25:34]  India, it uplifted India, and that was a tremendous error.
[00:25:37]  Yes, your point about giving them agriculture probably should have done that, yeah.
[00:25:42]  You know, agriculture in the first place was just a disaster all round.
[00:25:46]  Yes.
[00:25:46]  And Ochigdor has a Fed post there, and the answer to that is no, because he was a Catholic.
[00:25:53]  Yeah, he was doing it for Catholics.
[00:25:54]  Bit of a Guy Fawkes reference there.
[00:25:55]  Yeah, I knew that was going to be the answer, and it's a fair answer.
[00:25:59]  Can we get my segment up, please, Samson?
[00:26:01]  Thank you very much, the super chatters.
[00:26:04]  As ever.
[00:26:05]  Thank you.
[00:26:06]  All right.
[00:26:07]  So, I have a very important question for my friends on the panel here today and also for everybody home.
[00:26:15]  This chap here.
[00:26:16]  Yes.
[00:26:17]  You look Welsh to you?
[00:26:19]  That's Tom Jones, isn't it?
[00:26:22]  Guys aren't quite blue enough.
[00:26:25]  But that is the question that has erupted on social media for the past two days or so now.
[00:26:33]  He looks like a.
[00:26:34]  Oh, shit, he is.
[00:26:36]  Sorry, I was going to say he looks like a form counsellor, but.
[00:26:39]  No, he's for Plaid Cymru.
[00:26:40]  Ah.
[00:26:42]  The Welsh Nationalist Party, as ever, being fronted by true Welshmen.
[00:26:47]  It's a shame that Ruda Cabana went and murdered all of those children, or else he might have had a role for Plaid Cymru.
[00:26:52]  Well, Plaid Cymru's reform would have been fighting quite hard for him, wouldn't they?
[00:26:56]  Reputation's not tarnished enough for Plaid Cymru, to be fair.
[00:27:00]  Well, that's true.
[00:27:02]  So, yeah, Plaid Cymru are the Welsh Nationalist Party who ever so love Welsh people, which is why they are all for the replacement of them.
[00:27:11]  They put out this tweet saying, Vote Plaid Cymru to stop Reform UK on the 7th of May with this chappy here who goes by the name of Bashi.
[00:27:19]  My name is Bashi and I'm a community organiser from Butetown in Cardiff.
[00:27:23]  And there's something really important I need to tell you today.
[00:27:25]  The Senate elections on May the 7th is the most important election we've ever had in.
[00:27:31]  He's got one of those weird false ethnic accents, doesn't he?
[00:27:34]  Because there's a little bit of Welsh in there, but there's also pure foreign in there.
[00:27:40]  And, you know, he's clearly not Welsh.
[00:27:44]  He's Sudanese, if you're wondering.
[00:27:46]  That's where he's from.
[00:27:47]  That's where he was born.
[00:27:48]  So even if you wanted to make the reform cooked civic argument of, oh, it depends on where you're born, he's still not Welsh, actually.
[00:27:55]  He's just Sudanese with a Welsh passport given to him.
[00:27:59]  Aaron Banks, who is a member of the Reform Party and was up for election for a mayoral position last year, tweeted it with a cheeky little remark asking, Welsh lad?
[00:28:11]  I mean, that's.
[00:28:13]  It's a relevant question.
[00:28:15]  Given reform's.
[00:28:17]  But he's a millionaire and he's also a donor to the party as well as being part of the party.
[00:28:25]  So while you, Dan, or Bo, would have probably been immediately relieved from your position for asking such a question, he just gets to have fun with it.
[00:28:34]  And to be fair, he has been having a little bit of fun with it by just saying that everybody who's been getting very angry at him, because the second that he made this, you get retards like the Blade of the Sun saying, Aaron.
[00:28:46]  The most insufferable people on the entire platform.
[00:28:49]  Yeah, saying Aaron Banks was reforms candidate for mayor of Bristol.
[00:28:53]  That wasn't going to go well, if we're honest, trying to get a reform into mayor as mayor of Bristol.
[00:28:58]  What was Aaron Banks making the point of in the other one?
[00:29:01]  Well, he was just asking Welsh lad because they're the Welsh.
[00:29:04]  No, no, no, the next one, the next one.
[00:29:06]  I was just saying that you've got no sense of humour.
[00:29:08]  I thought Wales was only for the Welsh.
[00:29:09]  You've said it often enough.
[00:29:10]  Well, I mean, that is the whole point of Plud Cymru, that Wales is.
[00:29:14]  It should.
[00:29:14]  Well, it's the same as any sort of Celtic nationalist.
[00:29:17]  And this is going to hurt my sort of ancestors here a little bit, being entirely Celtic.
[00:29:21]  But most.
[00:29:24]  British Celtic nationalists just hate the English and are more than happy to invite anyone else in.
[00:29:31]  Look at the SNP, look at Sinn Fein in Ireland, look at Plaid Cymru in Wales.

=== Ethnicity Claims in Wales (15:26) ===

[00:29:39]  They're all more than happy to have Rapier McStabface from any third world country.
[00:29:46]  But when it comes to the English, they're like, no, no, no, they're the worst.
[00:29:49]  And they've got this sort of weird cultural.
[00:29:51]  They know what ethnicity is when it comes to the English.
[00:29:55]  And that's always.
[00:29:56]  Yes, for our American viewers, it is the strange contradiction of Celtic nationalist parties, because it's not just the countries themselves, like Scotland and Wales.
[00:30:05]  It's even parts of, say, for instance, the South South West, as far southwest as you can go in Cornwall, where there is the phenomenon of the Cornish nationalists, who are very proud of their heritage.
[00:30:17]  They're very proud of the fact that they are distinct from the Anglo Saxons.
[00:30:21]  Not quite as distinct as they would like to make out, but they are.
[00:30:24]  They are distinct.
[00:30:26]  But they are more than willing to.
[00:30:28]  Bring Abdul in and say he's just as Cornish as the rest.
[00:30:32]  Just for our American viewers, that is a weird thing that I always forget: is that the Welsh hate the English and the Scottish hate the English and even some of the Cornish hate the English and the English don't think about them at all, ever.
[00:30:44]  Well, yeah.
[00:30:46]  That is the thing: they're separatists, they want to separate, they have their own devolved parliaments, and with that, they want to replace themselves.
[00:30:53]  It's also worth mentioning: whenever I go to Cornwall and say I'm from Devon, they treat me very well and they like me.
[00:30:59]  Really?
[00:31:00]  It's like, I'm not from London, don't worry.
[00:31:01]  And they're like, oh, okay, he's, he's one of us.
[00:31:04]  Every Welsh person I've met has been very nice, even though obviously I sound English.
[00:31:09]  And every Scotsman I've met has been very nice.
[00:31:12]  So I think there's just this small bastion of resentful peace.
[00:31:16]  Like, these countries are very divided between being very pro your own country, but still being favourable to the English.
[00:31:25]  Like, my Scottish granddad, when I asked him, why did you move to England?
[00:31:30]  He said, well, England is like Scotland, except Scotland.
[00:31:34]  England is better in every way except maybe the nature, which is actually a very fair and reasonable point.
[00:31:41]  And he had a very thick Scottish accent and an unbroken chain of Scottish ancestry.
[00:31:46]  And he was an engineer, so that's why he moved down here.
[00:31:48]  Yeah, it's worth saying with the Celtic parties, it's a weird phenomenon.
[00:31:51]  It's nowhere near all of them, but there is a strange holdout of these people.
[00:31:55]  And because they are so contradictory in being able to say, for instance, like this chap here who is part of the Plaid Cymru Party, apparently you can't be black and Welsh.
[00:32:06]  But you can't be English and Welsh.
[00:32:08]  And they know it.
[00:32:09]  They know it, but they don't apply that standard when it's anyone other than the English.
[00:32:15]  Part of me wonders if they do this purposefully just to annoy the English.
[00:32:19]  It's not doing a very good job because I'm just like, this is just a little bit sad.
[00:32:23]  It's kind of cutting off your nose to spite your face, isn't it?
[00:32:25]  It very much is.
[00:32:26]  Shoot yourself in the foot, replace yourselves for the sake of annoying the English, at which point the English are there.
[00:32:32]  Like you're dangling yourself off the edge of a cliff, and the Englishman is holding out a hand saying, Please don't kill yourself.
[00:32:38]  And they're going, I would never accept help from an Englishman.
[00:32:41]  And then they let go and die gleefully laughing the whole way down.
[00:32:45]  Also, these people aren't very good at upholding their principles because whenever I've been in Wales, everyone's just very nice to you.
[00:32:52]  There's no one saying, Oh, you're English, get out of here.
[00:32:55]  Everyone's just very polite, probably more polite than most English people to me when I've been there, which is saying something else.
[00:33:00]  It's because you're a lot darker than the rest of us.
[00:33:02]  I think the second coming of Tom Jones, all hail.
[00:33:06]  No.
[00:33:07]  So it's a weird thing that they're sort of secretly seething.
[00:33:11]  But actually, when you talk to them, they're perfectly fine and civil.
[00:33:14]  I've never had an unpleasant interaction with a Welshman, but social media would convince you that they're all a bunch of frothing anti English weirdos.
[00:33:22]  When you see the Scottish in particular, it's even worse than that.
[00:33:26]  They talk about the English like, I don't know.
[00:33:29]  I'm trying to think of like the most murderous ethnic resentment possible.
[00:33:34]  That's the sort of language that they use.
[00:33:36]  And then when you actually talk to them, they're fine.
[00:33:39]  But ultimately, what this is, is the age old question of.
[00:33:43]  How Americanized has Britain become yet?
[00:33:46]  Have we completely lost track of heritage and ethnic identity in the way that a lot of Americans have?
[00:33:54]  Or do we still recognize that English is a specific people, Welsh are a specific people, Scottish are a specific people that you can get along with just fine and that there's no kind of moral content in saying you're not English, you're not Welsh, you're not Scottish?
[00:34:12]  Or do we have to accept?
[00:34:13]  Anyone and everyone is who's just been here for a little bit and says that they're English or Scottish or Welsh.
[00:34:18]  Well, the strongest.
[00:34:19]  I'm of the opinion that no Rishi Sunak is not English, no Humza Youssef is not Scottish, and no, this man, let me remind myself of his full name, El Bashir Idris is not Welsh, if only because his surname is not Jones.
[00:34:37]  That's true.
[00:34:38]  You can always tell a Welshman.
[00:34:40]  He does have a name that's easier to pronounce than the leader of the Conservative Party, though, so he's got that going for him.
[00:34:44]  True.
[00:34:45]  So, what I wanted to point out here is that if they do not recognize the basically ethnic ancestral component to the existence of their nationalist movements as being the core thing, they have to be ethno nationalist, otherwise, they can't be nationalist at all, right?
[00:35:01]  Otherwise, there's such cultural overlap between Wales, Scotland, and England.
[00:35:05]  You know, there's as much overlap with those three nations as there is sort of variation within England itself.
[00:35:13]  I always thought it was utterly inherent that Plaid Cymru was ethno nationalist.
[00:35:17]  I mean, how could it not be?
[00:35:19]  Well, apparently not.
[00:35:20]  It's just everybody is Welsh except for the English.
[00:35:23]  We know that they're not Welsh.
[00:35:25]  But then comes the question well, how do you know that the English are not Welsh if just being in Wales for a little bit?
[00:35:32]  And asking and saying, I'm Welsh means that you're Welsh no matter your heritage.
[00:35:37]  If you're English, I'm Welsh.
[00:35:39]  No matter if you even actually, you know, like are very well connected and have a deep respect for your homeland and heritage where you come from, you're still Welsh as long as you kind of say that you are.
[00:35:51]  Can I pose a challenge on that?
[00:35:52]  All right.
[00:35:52]  I can understand why somebody from Algeria or Somalia might go to Wales and claim to be Welsh, but what self respecting Englishman is ever going to go to Wales and claim to be Welsh?
[00:36:04]  Answer in the comments below, folks, because I can't think of a reason right now.
[00:36:08]  You get people like this Johnny Valley Boy, my timeline is filled with Englishmen telling me what a Welshman looks and sounds like.
[00:36:16]  So imagine the little dwarves from Lord of the Rings.
[00:36:23]  That with a slightly thicker Welsh accent is how I imagine the Welsh.
[00:36:27]  Especially with that comment of you can't tell the men and women apart from one another because of the beards.
[00:36:32]  Often the case.
[00:36:34]  Carl, of course, asking, is it Is it mandatory to be a retard if you're a Welsh nationalist?
[00:36:39]  Because all of the ones that are represented on Twitter seem to be.
[00:36:43]  How does Johnny know if they're English if you can't identify groups of people by common traits?
[00:36:47]  To which he responds, Well, they've got English flags in their bios, English flags in their cover photos, English flags in their profile names, English towns and cities they're located in, and the frequent use of the word English patriot, which bears the question sorry, begs the question.
[00:37:03]  So if any of those people who are ethnically English and come from a long line of Englishmen, then instead decided to move to Cardiff and replace all of those English flags with Welsh flags and say, I'm a Welsh patriot.
[00:37:19]  Is he now Welsh?
[00:37:20]  So hang on.
[00:37:21]  So John Lee Valleyboy is now making the argument that ethnicity is determined by your choice of emoji.
[00:37:28]  Yes.
[00:37:28]  Apparently so, yeah.
[00:37:30]  Or at least your choice of how you identify.
[00:37:33]  It's the old transsexual theory of ethnicity.
[00:37:37]  Okay.
[00:37:38]  You can just trans your ethnicity at any point as long as you say so.
[00:37:42]  To which, of course, Carl said, So, is this man a Welshman with this picture of famous child murderer Axel Ruda Cabana?
[00:37:51]  I mean, he was born in Wales.
[00:37:52]  So, he actually, by a civic perspective, has more of a claim to being Welsh than El Bashir here because he was born in Sudan.
[00:38:03]  Yes.
[00:38:04]  So, that is a distinction that holds up if you apply the civic nationalist frame.
[00:38:08]  Yeah, that makes sense.
[00:38:09]  So that is an interesting question there.
[00:38:11]  Morgoth went and pointed out that actually what this means is that we're nothing.
[00:38:15]  Don't you understand that we're nothing at all?
[00:38:17]  We've never been anything because you're actually just really cancelling out your entire history and heritage when you say that the only thing that you're holding on to your heritage is essentially a childish resentment of the English.
[00:38:31]  When in fact, some of these Celtic nationalist types hate when you point this out.
[00:38:36]  The Welsh, the Scottish, and even, whisper it, folks, the Irish.
[00:38:41]  We're all heavily involved in the British Empire as kind of this whole team effort where we all went about.
[00:38:47]  The Irish don't like to admit it, but plenty of them signed up.
[00:38:50]  The Duke of Wellington, Irish.
[00:38:52]  He certainly was.
[00:38:54]  And also, if the only thing that determines what we are is UK government data, what if there's an error, a computer error, and in the government data I'm recorded as Mongolian?
[00:39:06]  Does that mean I'm Mongolian now?
[00:39:07]  Yes.
[00:39:08]  Have you considered applying for benefits?
[00:39:11]  Yes, I could, couldn't I?
[00:39:12]  Yes.
[00:39:13]  Have you considered assembling a horse archer army, perhaps throat singing?
[00:39:17]  Well, I'm starting to consider it, certainly.
[00:39:19]  Yes.
[00:39:20]  Well, there you go.
[00:39:21]  So, to the bureaucrat who ends up messing up Your ethnicity data on some spreadsheet somewhere.
[00:39:26]  Thank you very much.
[00:39:27]  I'm looking forward to Dan's new debut as the office throat singer.
[00:39:30]  The only problem is historically they didn't believe in washing.
[00:39:34]  It's going to be a little bit of a problem, I imagine, at least for us.
[00:39:39]  That's all right.
[00:39:39]  I didn't realise Dan washed anyway.
[00:39:43]  But then, you know, another question arises why do you need a devolved parliament if anybody can be English?
[00:39:48]  Because surely the, sorry, Welsh, surely the English parliament can just say, well, now we're a Welsh parliament and you've got no argument against it.
[00:39:56]  Or.
[00:39:57]  Save money, relocate the Welsh Parliament to Algeria, where it will cost less, and just get Algerians who identify as Welsh and put Welsh emojis in their Twitter handles, then they could run the Welsh Parliament.
[00:40:10]  It wouldn't even need to be in Wales.
[00:40:12]  It's the simplest solution to a very complex problem.
[00:40:16]  So, you know, and this kind of thing is the.
[00:40:19]  It just makes no sense.
[00:40:21]  It's the most difficult road to take.
[00:40:23]  If you're trying to argue logically or principally, then it's the most difficult position that you could imagine.
[00:40:30]  Because then you end up with the Plaid Cymru Party releasing leaflets in completely foreign languages, not Welsh, not Welsh, a different foreign language, one that's even actually is Arabic more or less decipherable than native Welsh?
[00:40:46]  I mean, I've always thought that Welsh Scrabble was a lot easier because when you get lots and lots of consonants, you think, how on earth am I going to get a high scoring word?
[00:40:55]  Well, in Welsh, all those L's and Y's are very useful.
[00:40:59]  That's a cheat code for all of you folks out there.
[00:41:02]  But what is the point of Welsh nationalism or a Welsh nationalist party if this is what it descends into?
[00:41:09]  If it descends into everyone can be Welsh except the English.
[00:41:14]  Is that legitimately one of their.
[00:41:15]  That's an actual one that I've seen people floating around, yes.
[00:41:20]  Oh, wait, no.
[00:41:21]  Of course, they did add a little extra one down here.
[00:41:23]  I was going to say.
[00:41:24]  By the looks of it, I don't think that was in the original one, but they do promote this kind of all inclusive, diverse messaging, which again makes no sense because what is the point of.
[00:41:37]  Of a nationalist party or position, which is inherently exclusionary, if it's also going to be inclusive and diverse.
[00:41:47]  That's a good conflict there, actually.
[00:41:48]  Yeah, I think you nailed it there.
[00:41:50]  These things don't fit together.
[00:41:51]  I'd also like to point out, as long as you're not a hypocrite about it, I have no problem with you being patriotic about being Welsh.
[00:41:56]  Yeah, there's no issue.
[00:41:58]  There's no point of shame.
[00:41:59]  You've got a proud history.
[00:42:01]  Just admit that it's ancestral and, you know, an Eritrean or what have you can't just come along and all of a sudden lay claim to.
[00:42:11]  Many thousands of years of history.
[00:42:13]  And they've chosen a particularly difficult hill to die on here because when you actually look into this guy's background, not only is his Instagram completely full of posts about Sudan, because he is from Sudan and cares most of all about Sudan, you can see even his hashtags, New Leadership for Wales, directly underneath.
[00:42:35]  Keep eyes on Sudan.
[00:42:38]  Constantly posting as recently as the 15th of April, his most recent pinned post.
[00:42:44]  About Sudan, three years of war in Sudan.
[00:42:47]  And I don't think there's anything wrong with him saying, I care about my homeland.
[00:42:55]  I care about the things that happen there and the horrible things that happen there that might affect my family who still are there.
[00:43:01]  That's perfectly normal and reasonable.
[00:43:03]  The only thing I take slight issue with is he's right to be concerned about Sudan and his family in Sudan, but why isn't he there?
[00:43:11]  Yeah.
[00:43:11]  I was going to say that exact same thing that if he cares so much about Sudan, why doesn't he make Sudan better?
[00:43:17]  And why did he join a Welsh nationalist party?
[00:43:20]  Mm hmm.
[00:43:21]  This is one of the things that annoys me about immigration more generally is that, well, if these people are such an asset, why have they abandoned their own home country if it's so bad?
[00:43:29]  I don't think there's any conditions in which I would abandon England.
[00:43:32]  And so, why are we bringing over people, even if they are an asset to the country, whose attitude is essentially mercenary?
[00:43:40]  Yes, and it's not just his Instagram that's full of this stuff.
[00:43:44]  This account, Clyde Cymru Exposed, also did a thread just playing clips of him at PseudoFest.
[00:43:50]  It's not just geography.
[00:43:52]  This isn't.
[00:43:54]  A place that I can just say, yes, that's Sudan on the map, and that's my home.
[00:44:00]  No, It's a bit more than that.
[00:44:02]  It is memory, it is duty, it is a language.
[00:44:07]  It's also grief, but humor at the same time.
[00:44:11]  It's an obligation, and to me, it's an unfinished struggle.
[00:44:16]  Sudan lives inside me, even when I'm not physically there, and I'm sure for every Sudanese person here and Sudanese allies, Sudan lives within them too.
[00:44:27]  Hardly sharing those sentiments and feelings for the Welshness inside him, right?
[00:44:32]  Where was Sudan Fest held?
[00:44:34]  Was that held in Sudan?
[00:44:36]  It doesn't look like it because he's speaking in English.
[00:44:39]  That's a good point, yes.
[00:44:40]  Which I imagine probably not too popular with Welsh nationalists as well, speaking the enemy's language.
[00:44:46]  Yes, true.
[00:44:47]  But it's just like he says it himself.
[00:44:50]  He holds Sudan within him.
[00:44:52]  Admirable for somebody who clearly has a lot of care for his heritage.
[00:44:57]  And as shown by the fact that he.
[00:44:59]  Is from Butetown and says that I'm Sudanese, but the Caribbean and Yemenis and Somalis are my brothers.

=== Why Nations Should Not Be Fortresses (02:33) ===

[00:45:05]  This is our fortress that nobody can touch.
[00:45:07]  So he cares about those people as well and goes on to network television shows like Nigeria Info FM, where he's introduced as a distinguished Sudanese voice where he can speak about the troubles that's going on in Sudan right now and raise awareness and be an activist for them.
[00:45:24]  Would he do the same for Wales if tomorrow he decided to move to Germany?
[00:45:28]  Well, and also his point about these places being their fortress.
[00:45:31]  I mean, the whole point of a fortress is that you keep out.
[00:45:34]  People who are not supposed to be in the fortress.
[00:45:36]  Yes, that's a good point.
[00:45:37]  There are those walls that fortress.
[00:45:39]  His homeland is a fortress.
[00:45:41]  The place that he has gone to should not be a fortress.
[00:45:43]  In fact, it should be the opposite.
[00:45:45]  But all I'm hearing is that it doesn't sound like he even considers himself Welsh.
[00:45:52]  I mean, if you asked him straight to his face right now, he would probably say that he is, but that's mainly for political purposes, in the same way that nobody doubted that Rishi Sunak is Indian until it was pointed out to him, at which point he was like, no, I'm English because they just want to.
[00:46:08]  They want to skin suit and they want to hide.
[00:46:11]  But the problem is with people like that is given that they look so different, you can't.
[00:46:20]  Also, why were there celebrations all across India when he became Prime Minister?
[00:46:23]  And why was he celebrating Diwali, a foreign religion?
[00:46:27]  Do the Indians celebrate every time we get a new Prime Minister?
[00:46:29]  They're more than happy to drop the mask when the question is, oh, would you fight for this country?
[00:46:34]  And then all of a sudden, like, no, no, I'm from such and such.
[00:46:37]  It's the same with a lot, but at least with.
[00:46:39]  With other groups, they look a bit more like us and they can get away with it by just like adopting an accent and saying, Oh, I'm English, don't worry about me.
[00:46:48]  I've been here for however so long.
[00:46:50]  Again, with these guys, it's a lot less easy, especially when they're so attached to it.
[00:46:56]  So, the obvious answer is the simplest one, which is the correct one, which is that if you are Welsh, you are descended from the historic Britonic Celtic peoples who were pushed into the valleys during the Anglo Saxon invasions.
[00:47:13]  In the sixth and seventh centuries.
[00:47:15]  Or you were already there.
[00:47:17]  Or you were already there and you have developed a distinct Welsh culture which comes with a language and a history.
[00:47:24]  You do not have to do mental acrobatics to explain how this man is suddenly Welsh.
[00:47:29]  You don't have to hate him for not being Welsh.
[00:47:31]  You don't have to dislike him for not being Welsh.
[00:47:33]  You can even find his attachment to his homeland and the people of there admirable.

=== Stripping Dollars from Canadian Prices (02:20) ===

[00:47:38]  But let's not keep lying to ourselves.
[00:47:40]  And can we please stop with the hysterics whenever this question comes up, for the love of God?
[00:47:46]  And I'll get on to the rumble rants here.
[00:47:49]  Okay.
[00:47:50]  Johnny Logo says in response to that's a random name being treating us like strippers.
[00:47:57]  Not strippers, but distinguished gentlemen.
[00:47:59]  I'll take that.
[00:48:00]  Thank you.
[00:48:00]  Yes, yes.
[00:48:01]  Better marketing.
[00:48:02]  Ochigdor says didn't mean to Fed post, but thanks for answering.
[00:48:07]  Was curious of thoughts.
[00:48:08]  To be fair, if the rumble rent donation was large enough, I might consider stripping.
[00:48:15]  Well, you know that Dan has a price.
[00:48:16]  It's just figuring out what that price is now $25.
[00:48:21]  Well, mine is higher than yours.
[00:48:23]  No, no, I'm answering for you.
[00:48:25]  Josh is starting bids.
[00:48:28]  Josh wants to see this.
[00:48:30]  $25, $30.
[00:48:30]  How about a, how about a, how about a, get the storage?
[00:48:33]  I can't leave this.
[00:48:34]  Yeah, it's really annoying, actually.
[00:48:36]  That's a random name, has sent four in, so that's four separate dollars.
[00:48:39]  Thank you very much.
[00:48:41]  I am not stripping for any of those, I'm afraid.
[00:48:43]  No, no, you're going to have to spend up.
[00:48:46]  Thanks.
[00:48:47]  I'm Bulgarian, Harry.
[00:48:48]  I'm practically black.
[00:48:50]  We've got a very diverse audience in today, folks.
[00:48:53]  Hence why my favorite word starts with.
[00:48:55]  N.
[00:48:56]  I also spend the last of my savings meeting Yor.
[00:49:00]  I'm almost out of monopoly money, otherwise known as Canadian dollars.
[00:49:04]  You come all the way from Canada.
[00:49:05]  Well, that's very admirable.
[00:49:06]  Yes, he's multiply ethnic.
[00:49:10]  He's both Bulgarian and also French Canadian.
[00:49:14]  But if he's Canadian, he must be a bit Indian then.
[00:49:17]  He looked it.
[00:49:19]  The only two gingers I met, Harry and Sophie Liv, were quite based despite being orangutan people.
[00:49:24]  I also saw them praying towards Mecca when they thought that nobody was watching.
[00:49:28]  That's a random name again.
[00:49:29]  Of course, people were nice to you, Josh.
[00:49:31]  They thought you were going to rob them if they hurt your Izat.
[00:49:35]  Damn right.
[00:49:36]  Don't you forget it.
[00:49:37]  Everybody can be Welsh, says the poster, with words written in Welsh.
[00:49:41]  The only real Welsh people can read the jokes right themselves.
[00:49:44]  And finally, a drunk changeling.
[00:49:46]  The answer to this nonsense is to say everyone can be Iroquois.
[00:49:51]  Certainly, the original settlers may have thought so.
[00:49:54]  You can have a casino then.
[00:49:56]  Get to the reservation, lads.

=== Sexual Assault Crimes Across Borders (14:50) ===

[00:49:58]  Okay, I've noticed in recent times that migration has been getting, you know, much worse, not necessarily in terms of raw numbers, although that's certainly true as well, but just in how the migrants themselves have been behaving in Europe.
[00:50:13]  And I wanted to put this segment together just to show you what's been happening in Europe over just the past couple of weeks and how horrifying it is.
[00:50:21]  And I want you to send this to people who don't really follow politics or maybe are a little bit left wing to just show them the naked reality.
[00:50:28]  Of the horrors that are being invited in.
[00:50:30]  And they are being invited in because, as I covered recently, the Scottish National Party was saying too few migrants are coming to Scotland, even though many of their major cities are already getting taken over.
[00:50:43]  The Spanish recently planned to give approval to half a million, although it's going to be closer to a million in reality, undocumented migrants.
[00:50:51]  And that's just to name a few countries that are just actively going out of their way to invite in people from outside of Europe.
[00:50:59]  And this comes with lots of problems.
[00:51:02]  Not least to say that some of the ways in which these people get into the country and get citizenship is rather dubious.
[00:51:08]  The BBC exposed that legal advisors were telling migrants to pose as gay to get asylum in Britain.
[00:51:15]  And it's also been going on in Italy as well, where Italian lawyers are accused of profiting from asylum appeals by using claims of homosexuality to block deportation.
[00:51:26]  So it works both ways, apparently, so that they can also avoid deportation.
[00:51:31]  It just goes to show.
[00:51:33]  The ridiculousness of making it a human right, whether you like it up the bum or not.
[00:51:39]  Oh, I was assuming it's because so many young girls are being raped.
[00:51:42]  They thought they need to get in homosexual immigrants so that some young boys get raped as well, because otherwise you've got a gender imbalance.
[00:51:48]  There is already plenty of that, don't worry.
[00:51:50]  But I see Josh as a horrible harbinger of what's to come.
[00:51:54]  This is not the only remix link in this segment, and I know what remix are good at reporting at.
[00:52:02]  Yes.
[00:52:02]  What I actually have for you is some of the latest horrors that have been going on thanks to men like.
[00:52:07]  These in European countries that were once great countries worthy of respect and were safe, certainly safer than they are today.
[00:52:16]  So, the first one I wanted to look at, I'm going to have to keep on clicking over these.
[00:52:21]  Illegal Moroccan knife man arrested after attacking three victims in one night in Almeria after leaving a teenage girl in the hospital.
[00:52:29]  And what actually happened, I'm going to read the story.
[00:52:32]  The violence began shortly after 9 40 pm, where the suspect allegedly approached two couples at knife.
[00:52:38]  Point as they left a restaurant, forcing them to flee and triggering an initial police response.
[00:52:43]  Moments later, the most serious assault unfolded when a 17 year old student walking home was allegedly chased, grabbed, and thrown to the ground after the suspect demanded her phone.
[00:52:53]  He's accused of pulling her hair, repeatedly kicking her, and stabbing her in the fire during the struggle.
[00:52:58]  Her screams alerted nearby residents, whose intervention forced the attacker to flee.
[00:53:02]  A third victim was then targeted shortly afterwards near a gym.
[00:53:06]  Police say the suspect kicked a woman off her motorcycle at the traffic lights and attempted to intimidate her.
[00:53:12]  With the knife before she escaped into a nearby building.
[00:53:15]  So, this is just the actions of one man in one evening.
[00:53:20]  And I imagine that the lives of all the people that he attacked have been permanently changed.
[00:53:26]  Some of them will have the injuries for life, particularly the people who were stabbed.
[00:53:30]  But you notice they were just walking out of a restaurant, walking home, you know, on a motorbike.
[00:53:39]  These are perfectly normal things that you think you should be able to do normally.
[00:53:43]  You're minding your own business.
[00:53:45]  And then a lunatic.
[00:53:47]  An illegal from Morocco just comes along and starts stabbing you, trying to steal your stuff.
[00:53:52]  Which wouldn't have happened had the government not decided that it was appropriate to bring him in.
[00:53:56]  Exactly.
[00:53:57]  This is a policy choice, and it's a policy choice that should be reversed.
[00:54:01]  This person should never be in Europe.
[00:54:03]  In fact, for what he's done here, I would even question whether he should be able to walk away ever again.
[00:54:11]  So here's another example.
[00:54:13]  This is another one in Spain.
[00:54:15]  A 45 year old Moroccan migrant.
[00:54:18]  Recently arrived in a town of Riofrio.
[00:54:21]  I don't know how to pronounce that.
[00:54:23]  I'm sorry.
[00:54:25]  In the streets in the early morning, this time, armed with an axe, and just started attacking people at random.
[00:54:30]  One man and two women were hospitalized because he attacked them with an axe.
[00:54:33]  One of the women, airlifted by helicopter, was in serious condition.
[00:54:37]  So, whether it's morning or night, no matter what you're doing, they're just going to randomly attack you.
[00:54:42]  Just why do they even do this?
[00:54:44]  Like, why?
[00:54:46]  What compels a man to walk around with an axe and just start swinging?
[00:54:50]  I don't know.
[00:54:52]  And again, you're just picking examples from the past week?
[00:54:55]  Yeah, past couple of weeks, yes.
[00:54:57]  There's more than enough here as well.
[00:55:00]  Here's one from France Algerian man accused of, I can't say that word on YouTube, sexually assaulting and torturing 74 year old French woman with a stick inside her home outside of Paris.
[00:55:11]  Apparently, he carried out the sexual assault and then followed by further beating her, humiliating her, and prolonging the abuse just to torture her, basically.
[00:55:21]  And the suspect was a 25 year old Algerian man.
[00:55:25]  So there you go.
[00:55:27]  The fact that this man is allowed to still breathe and that within the French justice system there is no contingency to stop him from breathing is a complete failure.
[00:55:37]  I wholeheartedly agree.
[00:55:38]  The thing that's getting me with this is you've just gone through several instances and I'm following the news and social media every day.
[00:55:45]  I haven't even heard about any of these.
[00:55:46]  There's too much to follow now.
[00:55:48]  It's just, it's so much that it passes you by.
[00:55:52]  No one person can follow.
[00:55:53]  Any one of these.
[00:55:55]  Had they occurred anywhere in Europe 30 years ago, would have been top of the news agenda.
[00:56:00]  Not just domestically, but in all of Europe, right?
[00:56:03]  If it was 30, I definitely would have heard about this.
[00:56:07]  And you give me three that I have not even heard of.
[00:56:10]  So this one, this actually stretches back over the past five or six months.
[00:56:15]  I think it goes to about December of last year.
[00:56:19]  14 terrifying cases of migrants sexually assaulting elderly women in France.
[00:56:23]  So, yes, they're not just targeting.
[00:56:26]  Young girls, such as the so called grooming gangs, for the sake of YouTube, but also the elderly as well, which is something that I think has actually gone underrepresented.
[00:56:36]  And I've read one of these cases already, but there are actually 13 more, and I'm going to read every single one of these so you know just how horrifying and frequent this is, just to hammer this point home.
[00:56:47]  So, a 93 year old woman and a 95 year old woman were sexually assaulted in their hospital beds at a hospital by 44 year old Samir B.
[00:56:59]  The 93 year old later died of a cardiac arrest.
[00:57:02]  A 92 year old nursing home resident was sexually assaulted by an Algerian nurse, Mohamed D.
[00:57:09]  I think, yeah, he was sentenced to four years, just four years for that, by the way, for doing that to a 92 year old.
[00:57:16]  Four years.
[00:57:18]  78 and 68 year old hospital patients were sexually assaulted by a 28 year old Congolese migrant who said he was forced to do it because he had no girlfriend.
[00:57:30]  This is the state of mind that these people have.
[00:57:32]  By the way, they are not like you or me.
[00:57:35]  They're not capable of existing in civilized society.
[00:57:38]  So just go back to the four years thing.
[00:57:39]  I mean, there was a case recently where a British man raped a Sikh, which is quite rare, but it happens.
[00:57:45]  And he was given life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
[00:57:49]  I imagine they would have attached a racial aspect to it, which would have been considered an aggravating factor.
[00:57:54]  It bumps up the.
[00:57:55]  Yeah.
[00:57:56]  Well, so.
[00:57:57]  These people are expected to do this.
[00:57:59]  Rape when white is a life imprisonment without parole, but rape when you're not white gets four years.
[00:58:06]  Yep.
[00:58:07]  Yeah.
[00:58:07]  And also, just on that third one, where he said he was forced to do it because he had no girlfriend, put yourself in the mind of one of the managerial types who will be looking at this and deciding what needs to be done off the back of it.
[00:58:19]  Their answer will not be, well, we shouldn't have these people in the country in the first place.
[00:58:24]  Their answer that they'll decide upon themselves will be, well, we need to improve conditions to make sure that people like this have better access to women so they can get girlfriends.
[00:58:34]  Which is entirely identical to the correct response.
[00:58:37]  That will be their response, though.
[00:58:39]  It maximizes the damage they can do.
[00:58:42]  Anyway, 83 year old Odette was sexually assaulted during a daytime burglary by an illegal Ghanaian migrant, and the perpetrator was sentenced to 12 months, 12 years, sorry, as a Freudian slip, in prison.
[00:58:56]  A 75 year old woman was sexually assaulted on New Year's morning during a break in by an African migrant.
[00:59:02]  An 80 year old woman was sexually assaulted to death by an Afghan man in 2025.
[00:59:10]  He was charged with sexual assault, resulting in death without intent to cause it.
[00:59:16]  Interesting that they're, you know, giving him mercy.
[00:59:19]  It was only an accident, thank goodness.
[00:59:21]  A 102 year old nursing home resident was subjected to attempted sexual assault by a 39 year old from Guadalupe.
[00:59:31]  She died less than a month later.
[00:59:33]  He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
[00:59:35]  Interesting the variation here.
[00:59:37]  In 2025, a 72 year old woman was assaulted, sexually assaulted, and robbed inside her own apartment in Paris.
[00:59:44]  So even in your own home, if you're elderly or not safe, an elderly.
[00:59:49]  Building caretaker was sexually assaulted at Knife Point in Paris by a 24 year old migrant, Mohamed D.
[00:59:55]  An elderly woman was sexually assaulted in her Paris apartment by an illegal Algerian migrant who offered to help her with her groceries.
[01:00:03]  So, even offers of kindness, which, you know, I've offered to help elderly people with all sorts of things, now they've got to second guess what your intentions are because of things like this.
[01:00:14]  A 67 year old woman was subjected to attempted sexual assault by a 27 year old Tunisian migrant.
[01:00:23]  And here's another one.
[01:00:25]  Another victim, 67, suffered an attempted sexual assault in the French town of Tours by an intoxicated Sudanese asylum seeker.
[01:00:34]  And then the final one, a 21 year old illegal migrant, unknown nationality, was arrested following the sexual assault of a 51 year old woman as she returned to her home.
[01:00:45]  So that's all horrible.
[01:00:48]  But I need to clarify something here.
[01:00:52]  You said at the beginning that.
[01:00:54]  People watching this might want to send this as a chronicle to their friends who may be more centrist or left wing who don't believe that this kind of stuff happens.
[01:01:03]  What would you say?
[01:01:05]  What would your response be to, let's head it off right now, the obvious question that they're going to say?
[01:01:11]  Well, why does this matter more?
[01:01:14]  Why is this any different from when natives commit these same crimes?
[01:01:19]  So there are two different avenues you can go to answer this.
[01:01:21]  The first one of which is that we have the data, it's pretty well settled.
[01:01:26]  That natives do so at far, far lower rates per capita.
[01:01:30]  So, as a percentage of their population, far fewer are basically going to be sexual deviants of this nature to make it safe for YouTube.
[01:01:39]  And the secondary thing is people who have ancestry in the country and are of the country are a problem to deal with.
[01:01:48]  But people who are imported, that is a policy choice to bring those people here.
[01:01:53]  That is a failure of the government to rightfully protect their citizenry, which.
[01:01:58]  Arguably, if the government does anything, protecting its own citizens should be the main thing, the number one thing that they should be doing.
[01:02:04]  And so, this is a policy failure which could have been avoided.
[01:02:08]  Whereas, if someone's born in the country and they have ancestry in the country for many hundreds of years or thousands of years, then if they have bad intentions, then there's not a lot you can do about it until you find that outright.
[01:02:24]  And so, one is preventable, one is a bit more difficult to prevent.
[01:02:29]  And it's not to say that the native doing the same thing is somehow morally less culpable.
[01:02:35]  But we're looking at it from the perspective of governance, right?
[01:02:39]  That this is a choice that should have been avoided.
[01:02:43]  And we have the data that is resoundingly against this sort of thing happening in the first place.
[01:02:48]  Well, the other left wing response would be well, yeah, but they're all men.
[01:02:53]  So men are the problem.
[01:02:55]  Yes, but also, as we saw in the grooming gangs in many northern towns and across all of Britain, the women not only facilitate it, but also cover it up, as well as the fact that there are crimes done by women from.
[01:03:10]  Other countries that I haven't included here, but they have a different nature of crime.
[01:03:15]  Sure, it's less likely to be sexual crime, but there are still other things.
[01:03:19]  You know, you can use the example of women in Britain going to join ISIS, for example, or the Eastern European pickpocket gangs and the like.
[01:03:30]  And there are lots of other things that women are more represented in, but are overrepresented relative to the native population.
[01:03:40]  So I'm not done yet, though, I'm sorry to say.
[01:03:43]  I've still got some more horrifying things.
[01:03:45]  85 year old man doused in gasoline, beaten and shoved in the trunk of a car during a home invasion.
[01:03:51]  This is France again.
[01:03:53]  Yeah, so it's not just women, it's also men as well.
[01:03:57]  There's also this one as well.
[01:03:59]  It's not just people, it's animals.
[01:04:01]  A 19 year old Afghan was accused of a series of sexual assaults on goats and sheep near Marseille in France.
[01:04:11]  He was caught on CCTV.
[01:04:13]  So.
[01:04:14]  Very unusual thing to do for a European, to be honest.
[01:04:19]  Maybe he's Welsh.
[01:04:21]  Here's.
[01:04:23]  Dear, dear.
[01:04:25]  Here's an example in France of a man with Down syndrome being robbed by a migrant.
[01:04:31]  And notice in particular the fact that people just are standing around and allowing it to happen as well.
[01:04:38]  The antipathy, and people just don't want to get involved because he could pull a knife and kill them.
[01:04:43]  And people know that, right?
[01:04:44]  And so even if it doesn't.
[01:04:46]  You're probably going to be in trouble for stepping in.

=== Vicious Attacks on Animals and People (08:00) ===

[01:04:48]  Yeah.
[01:04:48]  Yep.
[01:04:50]  The incentives at play are completely upside down.
[01:04:54]  It'd be very difficult if I saw that not to immediately intervene.
[01:04:58]  Look at them all just standing there.
[01:05:00]  But then I'd probably be arrested immediately after.
[01:05:04]  Here's a pretty horrifying one 85 year old soup kitchen volunteer, viciously beaten by Nigerian man he fed every day, now calls for remigration, and rightfully so, I think.
[01:05:16]  So, yes, Antonio.
[01:05:18]  Teresi was viciously beaten to the point he lost his spleen and has been left unable to walk.
[01:05:25]  And this was done by a man who he regularly fed.
[01:05:29]  He was a homeless Nigerian for some reason in Italy.
[01:05:33]  And he fed him.
[01:05:34]  So, what reason he had to viciously beat him, I do not know.
[01:05:38]  So, this held back.
[01:05:39]  Why would I pulse control?
[01:05:42]  This one I did see.
[01:05:43]  So, so far, we're up to seven things I didn't see for the one that I did see.
[01:05:47]  So, that's now making me think.
[01:05:48]  I see a constant stream of this stuff.
[01:05:50]  Way more than that in the one that was just a list as well.
[01:05:53]  Well, yeah.
[01:05:54]  I mean, if you take all of that, it was more, but at least seven that I've for every one that I did see.
[01:05:58]  So, that means now on, every time I look at the list of these horrors that come up in my feed, I've got to think, well, it's at least seven times that.
[01:06:05]  Exactly.
[01:06:06]  And then there's things like this.
[01:06:08]  This is another Nigerian, I believe.
[01:06:10]  Caught cooking a cat in a public park next to a children's playground.
[01:06:14]  This was in Italy, again.
[01:06:17]  So, yes, Europeans known for their affection for animals outside of Europe, you know, obviously with exceptions to the former Anglo countries.
[01:06:26]  But you go to say, even the Middle East treats cats well, maybe not dogs.
[01:06:31]  But.
[01:06:32]  Many parts of the world, this is considered barbaric.
[01:06:36]  Not to this guy, though, apparently.
[01:06:38]  Haiti, though, that's perfectly common, as well as Nigeria.
[01:06:41]  How's Haiti, let alone Canada?
[01:06:43]  I know, yeah.
[01:06:44]  And even if we're talking about places like Iceland, which, as I pointed out here, sorry to quote myself, but it's got a population of under 400,000.
[01:06:53]  So there are many cities in Britain with a larger population than the entirety of their country.
[01:06:59]  There was a case of an intoxicated 14 year old girl in the car in Reykjavik.
[01:07:06]  Two of them were three migrant men.
[01:07:09]  And this is a signature, and they're Arab men, by the way, signature grooming gang move of getting the girls intoxicated so it makes their job easier.
[01:07:17]  I've been to Reykjavik as well.
[01:07:19]  I've been to Iceland.
[01:07:20]  It's a beautiful country and it's so sleepy and quiet, as you'd expect with such a sparsely populated country.
[01:07:27]  Reykjavik for a capital city is like the sleepiest city I've ever been to.
[01:07:32]  It's got like one high street and everybody was super friendly and got along and was really nice to me.
[01:07:39]  And to know that that's happening there.
[01:07:41]  Why are they even there?
[01:07:42]  Well, you're actually the perfect person to have on the panel, Harry, because as you rightfully pointed out in one of your segments, this has been going on as soon as their feet have touched the soil of Europe, right?
[01:07:53]  There are cases that go all the way back to the 1950s, aren't there?
[01:07:56]  Before that, as well, you had some cases of, I think it was Sri Lankans in the 1930s in England.
[01:08:04]  You go back to the 1910s, immediately following the end of the First World War, and a lot of the foreign labour that had been brought over.
[01:08:14]  In Liverpool, for instance, to keep the docks running, had decided instead to set up little cafes that acted as brothels where they recruited young girls.
[01:08:24]  So some of the men coming back from the war were having to confront the horror that women and children that they'd left behind had been recruited by a bunch of African foreigners as prostitutes.
[01:08:36]  Of course, back then, the government was very sensible.
[01:08:39]  So, in response to such a thing, as well as the race riots that happened quite often across that summer, the people were instead.
[01:08:48]  Rounded up and deported from the country immediately.
[01:08:52]  Couldn't imagine that these days.
[01:08:53]  But that goes to show that it's not like a critical mass where they form a parallel culture and start to resent the natives.
[01:08:59]  It's basically as soon as the people are on your soil, they're rough and ready to go, basically, doing whatever they see fit, which seems to be not constrained by much morality, it seems.
[01:09:13]  And there are things that can be done.
[01:09:15]  There was a Dutch town recently, in the past couple of weeks, that had protests.
[01:09:21]  And the fact that it was a small, it was a Lostrecht, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, a town of around 8,000 people had a couple of, about 100 or so migrants planned to be brought in and they protested, saying, This is a small town, what are you doing?
[01:09:36]  And they reduced it, which isn't ideal, but it shows, at least in principle, that this sort of thing of kicking up a fuss, there are examples in Britain as well, where kicking up a fuss gets them taken out of your town and is much safer because of it.
[01:09:51]  And, uh, There's also this, you can just do things.
[01:09:54]  So, the left wing government in Denmark is, despite the EU laws preventing them, the European Convention on Human Rights, they're going to be deporting foreign criminals, or at least they're trying to.
[01:10:10]  So, yeah, all of the excuses of, well, there's international laws or there's EU laws stopping you, well.
[01:10:15]  Well, they have just introduced new measures into the European Parliament to make it easier for countries to deport criminals.
[01:10:22]  And it's going to have to get a lot easier because there's so many in Europe at the minute.
[01:10:26]  But, yes, I wanted to draw attention to this because.
[01:10:29]  Just going through what's happened in a short span of time, really, in a couple of weeks in your everyday life, that goes by relatively quickly, I imagine.
[01:10:38]  And all of these horrors have gone on to people in Europe, like you or me.
[01:10:42]  And I think that actually looking at it from a human perspective, that these were people whose lives have forever been changed by these policy decisions that need not have happened.
[01:10:53]  And perhaps it would have been better to keep the people in your country safe.
[01:10:58]  You know, it's not some sort of racial thing, it's just purely.
[01:11:03]  These people from these specific countries cause these problems at a disproportionate rate.
[01:11:08]  Maybe we shouldn't let them in because it's bad for the people we live around.
[01:11:12]  It's not much more complicated than that.
[01:11:15]  And I think that what we have now is a problem where many of these people have to be sent home because they cause problems like the ones we've seen here at inordinate rates.
[01:11:25]  And I encourage everyone off the back of this segment to go away and actually look up how disproportionately overrepresented many nationalities are.
[01:11:33]  Like Afghans, for example, 32 times overrepresented in violent crimes and the like relative to the British baseline.
[01:11:41]  So that's obviously massively disproportionate and speaks of a deep difference in how we conduct ourselves.
[01:11:50]  All right, we've got a couple of rumble rants for that one if you want to go through them.
[01:11:54]  I think the first one is this one.
[01:11:58]  Okay, that's a random name.
[01:12:00]  It says in Quebec, we mostly get Arab and blacks from the French colonies.
[01:12:04]  They get priority for all government jobs and push all whites out until whole departments are full of them.
[01:12:09]  Oh, that sounds very familiar.
[01:12:10]  And they say, I work in Quebec's NHS.
[01:12:13]  Most of the ethnic workers wouldn't pass their training, but are allowed to pass for diversity quotas.
[01:12:18]  And many lie.
[01:12:19]  I've been compiling lots of links of just Indian people in Britain lying about their qualifications and getting exposed in the most absurd ways.
[01:12:28]  Like a language therapist of Indian descent who lied about her qualifications about being a language therapist and actually was a receptionist in a hospital.
[01:12:36]  And could barely speak English.
[01:12:38]  So could you imagine having to learn?
[01:12:40]  Or a language therapist.
[01:12:41]  Could you imagine having to learn English from an Indian that can barely speak English?
[01:12:45]  I couldn't think of anything worse.
[01:12:46]  Get better scams.

=== Appointed Lords vs Elected Chambers (03:39) ===

[01:12:48]  I agree.
[01:12:50]  Ramshak Kalata says My 72 year old mum was a very beautiful young woman.
[01:12:54]  Until recently, she loved being old and invisible sexually.
[01:12:58]  Now she lives in fear of essay because they essay anything animals, the elderly, the children.
[01:13:03]  Yes.
[01:13:04]  And I think that actually it was quite important here to draw attention to the fact that it is anyone.
[01:13:10]  For them.
[01:13:11]  And then that's Random Name says In France, a young policeman our age got sent to jail when he defended his grandma for an Algerian home invader.
[01:13:19]  They make examples of those of us who do what's right resist and deport.
[01:13:24]  Yeah.
[01:13:25]  Looks like we've not got any video comments today.
[01:13:27]  Is that right, Samson?
[01:13:32]  If we do, we'll play them tomorrow.
[01:13:33]  So look forward to that, folks.
[01:13:35]  Which means I think we should go through the written comments on the website.
[01:13:38]  Yes.
[01:13:38]  Don't often get to them as much as we should, so this is good.
[01:13:41]  Got a whole 15 minutes.
[01:13:43]  We're spoiling you after five minutes each.
[01:13:46]  Let's hope you've said something interesting, people.
[01:13:50]  All right, scrolling down, scrolling down.
[01:13:54]  Good lord, you do, you two do a lot of notes.
[01:13:56]  Right, here we are.
[01:13:59]  Um, Omar Ward, that's a good place to start.
[01:14:03]  Um, getting rid of hereditary peers feels similar to the British equivalent of packing the Supreme Court.
[01:14:08]  Whenever someone gets into power, they have the incentive to get their guys on display power.
[01:14:12]  Yes, so this is a point that I didn't get to in the segment is this nonsense idea that you should get rid of the lords and replace it with an elected chamber?
[01:14:21]  What's the point of having two chambers?
[01:14:23]  If they're operating under the same incentives and the same pressures and they're drawn from the same pool, there's literally no point in having a second chamber.
[01:14:32]  There's no point from the perspective of the British public, but from the perspective of someone looking to expand their power, as in a.
[01:14:39]  There's more patronage.
[01:14:40]  Exactly.
[01:14:41]  You have the power to then appoint people who can stay there for life.
[01:14:45]  And so the longer you hold on to power, the easier it is to maintain it.
[01:14:48]  And therefore, the system self perpetuates.
[01:14:50]  That's why they want to do it.
[01:14:52]  In fact, the US made this mistake as well because senators used to be appointed.
[01:14:56]  Appointed by the state.
[01:14:58]  It was a function of the state legislative.
[01:15:03]  I don't know if they call them as congresses as well.
[01:15:06]  But then those guys appointed the senators, and that's why it worked, because they're representing the Senate interest.
[01:15:10]  Now they're just elected and operating under all the same pressures as a bloody congressman.
[01:15:14]  So, you know, why are you doing that?
[01:15:16]  It's all for the sake of democracy, no matter whether it actually makes sense or not.
[01:15:23]  If it were up to me and we had a sensible king, I would like the king to appoint people and they'd be appointed based on.
[01:15:31]  Either their service to the crown and the nation or their expertise in a specific field.
[01:15:37]  You know, the funny thing is, pro democracy, I was about to use an F slur then, but I probably shouldn't on the podcast.
[01:15:46]  Pro democracy types loved sharing around that meme during COVID.
[01:15:51]  Remember the one of the guy standing up on the airplane saying, I think this pilot's lost his mind.
[01:15:56]  Who wants me to fly the plane instead?
[01:15:59]  And everybody's cheering him along.
[01:16:01]  That's literally democracy.
[01:16:04]  Yes, that's literally democracy.
[01:16:06]  You have the guy who knows what he's doing, but everybody on the plane is like, I think I can do better, and they vote in him instead.
[01:16:13]  And also, what series of events have come to pass that the entire plane is willing to gamble on a random guy who thinks he's up for it, as opposed to, I mean, something bad has happened on that plane.
[01:16:25]  An Islamic hijacking, perhaps.
[01:16:27]  Yes, something like that.

=== The Peak of Working Class Democracy (12:13) ===

[01:16:28]  Or maybe just a load of people have pumped money into making people think that the air pilot can't do it anymore.
[01:16:35]  Yes.
[01:16:36]  All right, we fully engage with that comment.
[01:16:39]  Derek Power, Master of Chippies.
[01:16:43]  Eliminating the hereditary peers from the House of Lures is your version of the 17th Amendment of the US Constitution, allowing for direct elections of US citizens.
[01:16:52]  Yes, exactly what you just said.
[01:16:53]  Yes, well done, Derek.
[01:16:54]  You are a smart man because you think what I think.
[01:16:59]  Maria Manzi.
[01:17:01]  Does sound like a car, that, doesn't it?
[01:17:04]  I really do have fatigue with outsiders telling us how to live, is the old millions' miscarriage.
[01:17:09]  Go.
[01:17:10]  Yes.
[01:17:11]  Mirrodon 2010 says, I felt almost physically sick hearing the outsider and the weakling talk about and agree to the dissolution of my country, its history and culture.
[01:17:21]  Well, that's a bit harsh about you, Harry.
[01:17:23]  I don't know why he's saying that.
[01:17:26]  I believe that he's talking about the interviewer and the peer.
[01:17:31]  Ah, right.
[01:17:31]  The two fits, Harry.
[01:17:32]  Yes.
[01:17:33]  Okay.
[01:17:33]  Which am I, the outsider and the weakling?
[01:17:35]  Because I know I can bench more than both of you, and yet I'm more English than you.
[01:17:41]  What's your peak bench?
[01:17:42]  My peak bench at the moment, at the beginning of last year, was about 105 for a couple of reps.
[01:17:49]  All right.
[01:17:49]  Well, when you get up to 140, let me know then.
[01:17:51]  All right.
[01:17:52]  That's five more than me, I will admit.
[01:17:53]  That was my peak bench in my 20s.
[01:17:55]  I don't know if I believe you.
[01:17:58]  Well, I don't care.
[01:17:59]  I don't know.
[01:17:59]  Is there only one way to find out?
[01:18:01]  I don't know if I believe you.
[01:18:02]  Probably there's one way to find out.
[01:18:04]  I'm not going to be 20 again, am I?
[01:18:07]  I never would have guessed.
[01:18:08]  No, actually, keep you up to date.
[01:18:10]  No, I'll tell you what it was.
[01:18:10]  I'll tell you what it was.
[01:18:11]  My peak was actually 120.
[01:18:13]  And then I went to a different gym.
[01:18:15]  That used because the bars that I was using, the bar itself was 20.
[01:18:20]  And then you just stack the 20 plates on the side.
[01:18:22]  Right.
[01:18:22]  I went to a different gym and it was actually an army gym because I was visiting a relative who's in the army and they had a completely different bar system.
[01:18:30]  And I put what I thought was 120 on and I didn't want to look like an idiot in front of people and not finish it.
[01:18:36]  And then afterwards I found out that it was actually 140, which is weird how that psychologically works.
[01:18:40]  But I did do a full set of 140.
[01:18:42]  So that counts as peak.
[01:18:44]  All right.
[01:18:44]  Sounds legit to me.
[01:18:46]  Bloody was.
[01:18:46]  So, anyway.
[01:18:47]  Right.
[01:18:47]  Anyway, Nick.
[01:18:49]  Oh, you've got time.
[01:18:50]  Nick Taylor says, Great to see.
[01:18:53]  Great.
[01:18:53]  So, now the peerages will be given to progressive lunatics, investment bankers, and human rights lawyers.
[01:19:00]  Yes.
[01:19:01]  And then there's a bit at the end that we shouldn't say.
[01:19:04]  Probably not.
[01:19:05]  Probably not.
[01:19:06]  Oh, one more thing I can say now we're off YouTube is I actually wanted to call that segment Abolish Democracy.
[01:19:11]  And I wanted to make it all about how we should abolish democracy instead.
[01:19:14]  And then Carl told me that it's against YouTube Terms of Service.
[01:19:17]  YouTube doesn't like anti democracy posting.
[01:19:20]  But it's obviously the right position to get rid of democracy and keep the lords.
[01:19:24]  Anyway, that was you next.
[01:19:26]  Me next, yes.
[01:19:27]  Michael Dre Belbus Every time I hear someone say they are a community organiser, I hear unemployed, useless twat waffle.
[01:19:34]  True.
[01:19:35]  Michael Dre Belbus again.
[01:19:36]  This does explain why the English control the British Isles because the Irish are a bunch of drunks and the Welsh and Scots are obviously effing retarded.
[01:19:44]  There are plenty of good Scots, Welsh, even perhaps a couple of decent Irish.
[01:19:50]  Irishmen.
[01:19:52]  But it does seem unfortunate that en masse, the collective instincts of some of the Celts, at least in their choice of governance, seems to be to completely dissolve their countries so long as they're owning the English while they do so.
[01:20:09]  Bizarre.
[01:20:10]  But the funny thing is, if they ruin their own countries, it just allows us to have more control over them, which, you know, that entire nationalist movement, you could argue, objectively speaking, Is only serving in England's interest if that's the way we thought, because we could just buy up at much cheaper rates once successful companies and then turn them around because we're not running it to spite England.
[01:20:32]  Are we sure that there isn't some kind of like hand rubbing English conspiracy going on right now where there are men whose names are something like Chapelsworth funding these parties behind the scenes for that exact goal?
[01:20:46]  That would be entertaining.
[01:20:48]  Sorry, I don't want to interrupt you from doing the next comment, but people in the bloody comments, I can see you, right?
[01:20:52]  Some of them are questioning my claims, right?
[01:20:55]  No, seriously, I promise you 100% psychologically, if you think you can do something, so my story about doing the one set of 140, that is 100% true.
[01:21:04]  And look, I'll give you another example.
[01:21:06]  The guy that I used to go to the gym with, he used to do these pull ups and he was convinced he could do 11.
[01:21:12]  And he would always say, Oh, I can do 11.
[01:21:13]  Spot me to do 11, right?
[01:21:15]  And I did.
[01:21:16]  You need the spotting for pull ups?
[01:21:18]  Well, a little bit.
[01:21:19]  You can give a slight up, if you can spot for pull ups as well.
[01:21:22]  That's definitely true.
[01:21:23]  You don't really need to.
[01:21:24]  Anyway, the point is, he said, I can do 11, right?
[01:21:27]  And I held count for him, and I deliberately kind of mumbled a bit and miscounted and dropped two of them.
[01:21:35]  And he went up to 13, but I was claiming it was 11.
[01:21:39]  Right now, he got to what I said was 11, it was actually 13.
[01:21:43]  And then he's like, Oh, I'm destroyed now.
[01:21:45]  And I was afterwards, he said, Can you ever do more than 11?
[01:21:48]  He's like, No, 11's my peak.
[01:21:49]  He's like, Well, yeah, you just did 13.
[01:21:51]  Because psychologically, I made him think that he was on 11.
[01:21:54]  Honestly, if you think that it's your thing.
[01:21:56]  There is some truth to what you're saying there that you can push yourself through if you think that you can.
[01:22:01]  Yes, if you genuinely believe you can do something, you can do something.
[01:22:03]  So stop.
[01:22:05]  You know.
[01:22:06]  That's about as inspirational as you're ever going to get on this podcast.
[01:22:09]  That was a wholesome and white pilling message to give to people.
[01:22:14]  So, yeah, actually take that on board.
[01:22:17]  I'll give you another, well, I won't give you another anecdote, but I do have another anecdote like that.
[01:22:21]  To be fair, actually, I am back onto 102.5 kilograms at the moment.
[01:22:26]  I can do that for three.
[01:22:28]  And for Americans, that's 226 pounds.
[01:22:32]  So, if I went for 105 again, I could probably get one rep out of it.
[01:22:37]  I'm going to be going up soon because I've just finished cutting and now I'm going to be bulking.
[01:22:42]  And now none of my suits are going to fit again.
[01:22:44]  It's going to really annoy me.
[01:22:46]  For the past 20 years, I've been on bulking.
[01:22:48]  Well, the good thing from where I'm sitting is that when I was doing 105 last year, I weighed about 15 kg more, whereas now I'm a lot lighter.
[01:22:59]  So being able to do the same weight at a much lighter weight is.
[01:23:01]  I like how we've got all this time to do comments and we talked about working out.
[01:23:05]  Well, it's full.
[01:23:05]  More audience.
[01:23:06]  The chat egged us on.
[01:23:08]  Sorry.
[01:23:08]  That's true.
[01:23:09]  Derek Power, yeah, the whole Black Prince of Wales thing is not what current year people think it is.
[01:23:15]  That's true.
[01:23:16]  Maria Manzi says Welsh and Scottish nationalist parties are not driven by nationalism, rather, they are just communists.
[01:23:22]  Not even just that, they're just morons, frankly.
[01:23:26]  George Happ, if everyone can be Welsh, then no one is.
[01:23:28]  That's how you destroy a nation.
[01:23:30]  The HM Butterknife Permit Registry says Welsh Scrabble is the easiest, Chinese is the hardest, since Q, X, J, and Z are all worth one point.
[01:23:40]  That's a good point there.
[01:23:42]  Another comment says the best way to dismantle the Welsh ego is to ask them to point to Wales on your map before presenting them with a Union Jack.
[01:23:52]  Just to rug pull them, why not?
[01:23:54]  Ewan Baker, apparently you can't be an orc and be elvish.
[01:23:59]  Some are saying, is Aragorn being discriminatory with these policies?
[01:24:03]  Tune in to George R.R. Martin to find out.
[01:24:05]  What if the orc has an elf emoji?
[01:24:08]  Then he's an elf.
[01:24:10]  Clearly.
[01:24:12]  Michael says, the question of why aren't you as incensed about white people doing this is stupid.
[01:24:17]  When a white person does it, their own community lines up to see that person arrested and preferably strung up.
[01:24:23]  Yes, that's true.
[01:24:24]  Ethnic minority communities tend to defend their own wrongdoers because they feel more strongly about their ethnic bonds than they do about morality and justice, which is probably why their own countries are the way they are.
[01:24:37]  But also, it's also on that same level because they're doing it to foreigners from their perspective.
[01:24:42]  So they care less.
[01:24:43]  We've had another rumble round.
[01:24:44]  Somebody said, I maxed out the shoulder press for the first time last week.
[01:24:47]  I'm 43 and it's the strongest I've ever been.
[01:24:49]  Nice work.
[01:24:50]  Congratulations.
[01:24:50]  Yeah, that's great.
[01:24:52]  How the hell are you doing it at 43?
[01:24:53]  Because for me, the moment I got married and had kids, that was the Jim Dunn.
[01:24:59]  That was just it.
[01:24:59]  It was downhill from there.
[01:25:01]  Fair play.
[01:25:02]  I mean, I still make time to go.
[01:25:03]  You can just adapt your workouts to be a bit more time sensitive.
[01:25:08]  Like I used to go a ridiculous amount of times per week and was overtraining.
[01:25:12]  Now I go three times a week and just stick to the big lifts.
[01:25:16]  It's good.
[01:25:16]  You just lift heavier and less frequently, don't you?
[01:25:19]  Yeah.
[01:25:19]  And it also means that it's really easy to keep track of your progress and you always feel like you're achieving something.
[01:25:26]  One thing that we did quite well was we would always have a little book to write down how we would.
[01:25:30]  You know, how we were doing, which I very rarely see people do in the gym, so they must be forgetting, surely.
[01:25:36]  Or they've got an app for it.
[01:25:37]  Maybe.
[01:25:38]  And people saying, Sylvester the Grump, he hasn't paid us any money, but I'm going to read it anyway.
[01:25:42]  He says, Dan, you can just go.
[01:25:45]  We bloody, what time?
[01:25:47]  I have no sodding time.
[01:25:48]  I'm here like four days a week.
[01:25:50]  I do three hours of driving a day.
[01:25:52]  And then when I'm back home, I've got the family stuff to sort out.
[01:25:55]  I've got my investments to do.
[01:25:56]  I've then got to basically watch every sodding YouTube video I can to stay up to speed with what's going on and the arguments.
[01:26:02]  What bloody time do I have?
[01:26:03]  And he barely makes time to wank in between us all as well.
[01:26:06]  No, I get in two or three of those a day, obviously, because you can't do it while commuting.
[01:26:11]  Can't.
[01:26:12]  I can't cut out the essentials, Harry, but no.
[01:26:18]  Lotus Driver says, You can't convince me that this is not the intended result of mass migration.
[01:26:24]  If it's not the intended result, it's something they don't really care about happening.
[01:26:31]  Nick Taylor says, My friend Jono used to have a pet goat that would drink bourbon and coke when we were drinking in his shed and get aggressive.
[01:26:38]  Luckily, no people of that persuasion were around to take advantage of Billy while inebriated.
[01:26:46]  Poor Billy.
[01:26:47]  I know.
[01:26:48]  You shouldn't feed the goat Bourbon, at least give them quality whiskey like Scotch or Irish.
[01:26:53]  The chat's bullying you now, Dan.
[01:26:55]  I'm sorry.
[01:26:56]  Oxy door.
[01:26:56]  Dan, aren't you the number cruncher?
[01:26:59]  Crunch that time.
[01:27:00]  The podcast's whilst working out.
[01:27:01]  No, no, no.
[01:27:02]  I bloody hate that.
[01:27:03]  If you're going to the gym and you take a phone, there is something deeply wrong with you, especially if you film yourself with the phone.
[01:27:10]  No, if you go to the gym, you're working out, you're not called out now.
[01:27:14]  Well, I listen to music while I'm at the gym.
[01:27:17]  I've asked me to film you before, but just for your form to be in your defense.
[01:27:21]  Yeah, it can be useful to film to make sure that you like going to depth on squats and make sure that you.
[01:27:27]  That's why they have mirrors.
[01:27:28]  If you're doing bench, yeah, but you can't get a good angle on yourself.
[01:27:31]  If you're doing bench, you can barely.
[01:27:32]  Just ask your spotter then am I doing the right thing?
[01:27:36]  You can do that, but it's also good so that you've got your own visual reference.
[01:27:38]  You just want to film yourself in the gym.
[01:27:42]  Okay, shoot me.
[01:27:43]  But it also does help.
[01:27:46]  Yeah.
[01:27:47]  Well, that's why it's everybody beating up on me now.
[01:27:51]  I'm so sorry to have started this.
[01:27:54]  Harry's bullying always cycles around.
[01:27:56]  Samson, can we have extra time so I can argue with these people?
[01:27:59]  All right, Dan's just watching.
[01:28:04]  No, I'm not having this.
[01:28:06]  You're being salt mined, Dan.
[01:28:10]  The more you lean into it, the more they will push back.
[01:28:13]  This is how the internet works, but also carry on, please.
[01:28:16]  All right, I'm gonna ignore them then.
[01:28:17]  All right, sod you.
[01:28:20]  Also, it's true, Harry wanted Josh to film his ass.
[01:28:23]  That is what he asked me, but I didn't do it.
[01:28:26]  Are we done, everyone?
[01:28:27]  Are you sure?
[01:28:29]  I haven't got any time now, so.
[01:28:31]  It is half past.
[01:28:32]  All right, okay, we're going to go then.
[01:28:33]  Thank you for your comments, paid and, well, not so much the unpaid ones because you were mean to me, but we will all see you at a later date.
[01:28:41]  Goodbye.
