Stelios and Connor attack Angela Rayner's qualifications while analyzing Ann Arbor's removal of Neighborhood Watch signs as dangerous social engineering. They dismiss the UK government's grooming gang inquiry as a cover-up, criticizing its 1996–2029 scope for ignoring historical roots and noting Baroness Anne Longfield's alleged bias. The hosts argue this defers justice until after the 2029 election, suggesting institutional incompetence protects perpetrators rather than serving survivors or ensuring public safety.

Angela Rayner's Qualifications00:15:03
Hello, and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 1411.
Yes, we are just 77 podcasts away.
It's me, Stelios, and Connor.
Hello, Connor.
Good to be back.
Hello, everyone.
So, I will be telling you about one of the most impressive world politicians, somebody who is about to join the stage, we think, of world leaders.
I'm talking about, of course, Angela Rayner.
Is she defecting to reform?
No.
Well, you don't have to get a general election to change prime minister.
No point.
Yes.
What have you got for your state?
You're up next.
What have you got?
All your neighborhoods are racist.
Really?
Yeah.
Where do you live?
I want to move there.
Every neighborhood is racist.
So you already live in one.
Okay.
Good.
Good.
And Connor, what have you got for us?
Oh, I've come to bring the bad news.
I'm going to give you an update on the government's Potemkin grooming gang inquiry.
They picked the chair and the terms of reference, and it's just another sort of liberty hangout exercise.
Right.
Good.
Excellent.
Right.
So with that, oh, and also, We're doing a roundtable this afternoon.
Do you know what it's about?
It's going to be discussing Restore Britain's ground game, how things are going from the inside, bits of insights.
Probably reform's new promise to parachute foreign rapists into green constituencies is going to come up as well.
I also have to add that there's someone missing between Cal and Angloid.
Someone from the Swindon Antelope Cetus protest.
It's a bit like Last Supper Leonardo da Vinci, isn't it?
Right.
With that, let me think of an interesting segue.
I can't think of one.
Right.
So, oh, fuck it.
No, I really should have thought about this.
Right.
Just a hat on, Ben.
Yeah.
So it looks like Keir Starmer might be on his way out before long.
This is Polymarket.
Basically, there is a 91% chance that he will be out by the next election.
This particular polymarket is looking at just 2026.
There was a 69% chance he's going to be out by December 31st if he's going this year.
But you add them all up, the various different polymarkets, you get to a 91% chance he's going to be gone by the next election.
Now, I know you and Carl argued with me in the office about this.
It wasn't an argument.
I mean, nobody's buying stocks in Starmer confidence.
It's a bit like buying a first class ticket on Titanic at this point.
But I said there's a.
Because he's so.
Petty and spiteful.
There's a non zero chance that seeing that we're streaking is sharpening the blade for his shoulder blades, that he just calls a general election as a nuclear option and just says, okay, if you want to get rid of me, well, then you're all out of the job.
Yes, it may be possible.
But as I pointed out to you and Carl, there is easy money to be made.
If you think he's going to, well, he might just do the nuclear option and call a general election.
But if you think he's going to stick it out to 2029, there's money to be made.
But the point is that there is a large body of people willing to put money behind the fact that they think Keir Starmer is going to be out.
Which then sort of behooves us to think about, well, who's going to be in?
Yeah, so Streeting's destroyed his own chances because he put out, not only was his recent leadership leaked by number 10, he's already put out his text with Peter Mandelson because at the height of the Mandelson scandal, he's saying, Oh, yes.
Oh, well, everyone's saying Mandelson's an absolute reprobate.
Well, to show you that I have no, my hands aren't bloodied by this particular scandal, I'm going to show you all the WhatsApps to declare that we were bum buddies for absolute years.
And it's like, is this meant to be.
And that was the one that included the golden bit about them having absolutely no growth plan whatsoever.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was good.
So here is the, again, I'm going to the betting markets here.
Who do the betting markets think is going to replace Keir Starmer?
Who is our next British Prime Minister, leader on the world stage?
Well, basically, it's Angela Rayner.
I took these numbers.
Well, I didn't do it in fractions because you know what's going on.
I converted them to decimals.
But anyway, what I did is I kind of added those up and then I renormalised it to 100% across the top five and basically got this.
There we go.
So, next Prime Minister, Angela Rayner at 42.5%.
I don't think she can count that high.
I mean, Burnham's not got a parliamentary seat, and I don't see any by elections coming up, save the one that was in Jacob Rees Mogg's former seat.
And I don't think Burnham would be.
That'd be a challenge to win there.
Well, I have heard that five Labour MPs have been talking about quitting to make room for him.
So he is possible.
I mean, that's why he's at 16%, despite not even being an MP.
I mean, of course, Rainer gets a huge bump because she's actually available to take the job.
Yeah.
Miliband, as of this morning, has ruled out a leadership bid as well.
And so people are speculating that he's already made a pact to become either.
Burnham, or possibly Rainer's Chancellor, which would just again make everything even worse.
Yes, we do have some international viewers who may not know that much about Angela Rainer.
Now, I will going into this, I will explain that the common narrative in British politics is that Angela Rainer is a bit thick and she doesn't like that characterization and she's always pushing back against it.
Well, to be fair, this applies to every Labour member.
Oh, yeah, I mean, if you're a socialist, you are a bit thick.
I mean, I'll give you that.
I mean, it's not like Andy Burnham, Wes Reading, or Ed Miliband are particularly clever, are they?
Yes.
Well, on the left, if you're intelligent, you have to be a communist because they're the only logically coherent ones.
But if you're on the left and you're not evil, you kind of have to be a socialist, and that means you're thick.
So I spoke to a family friend and advisor of hers sometime after the last election because we happened to be in the same TV studio.
And I said, Does Rainer think that she's going to succeed Starmer at any point?
And he said privately, Angela knows she's quite dim, and so she doesn't know how she's got this far.
And that's why she's still deputy PM.
That does make a lot of sense.
There we go.
For our international viewers, let's play a little bit of Angela Rayner so you can judge for yourself the sort of intellectual firepower that she's wielding.
About another element of this.
On the present densities, you're going to add 3.4 million or homes for 3.4 million people with your 1.5 million houses.
On your own figures, we're also going to add to our population 2.5 million.
Million people over this same period.
Are you content that more than five out of seven new homes will go to immigrants?
Well, that's not the truth, and that's not the reality.
That's what will happen.
Well, that's not the reality because we've reached the end of the insurgency.
Where are the 2.5 million immigrants that are in Rachel V's budget figures going to turn up?
Where are they going to live?
Well, there's plenty of housing in the UK, but the houses, especially some affordable housing.
You can't, on the one hand, say we've got to build this 1.5 million houses and then say there's plenty of housing already.
There is plenty of housing, Trevor, already, but there's not enough for the people that desperately need it.
So the homes, especially under our affordable homes programme, which is social and affordable housing, they will be there for people who desperately need them, local people.
We've already outlined how we're going to support veterans and people.
I mean, I could play it on, but trust me, it just gets worse.
She's simultaneously trying to argue there's plenty of housing and also there's not enough.
Well, the caveat in there is that we need to build more social housing for those that desperately need it.
So actually, It's likely that the five in seven figure is wrong.
Instead, it's going to be the seven in seven figure because the homes that are being built, if they're going to be social housing, they're going to disproportionately go to immigrants.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean, and I'm not just picking this clip.
Honestly, I could have picked literally any clip of her doing an interview and asked the same question.
Just look at the intellectual firepower being deployed.
I mean, in this, she just really struggles to resolve two contradictory statements.
I'm surprised David Lammy isn't there.
Why isn't he considered to be a front runner?
If I was doing a segment about thick Labour people, he definitely would have got on, but I'm just doing it on the absolute front runner for the next British Prime Minister.
I also don't think Lammy's all that familiar with running, if you've seen him.
No, that's true.
No, that's true.
He's not even deadly over short distances.
One of my favourite Angela Reyna stories that she's told by.
For is that her mum was illiterate, which is why she grew up, you know, very working class on a council estate.
Literate?
She couldn't read.
Oh, right.
Not somebody who can't read, not somebody who just prose litter everywhere.
No, no, no.
She might have been.
That's the newcomers that she wants to put in social housing.
So she said that actually her mother used to occasionally buy dog food, thinking it was tin food, and feed it to the kids, which you could probably tell by Angela Rayner's face.
That might be true.
Anyway, so, I mean, this is a sort of constant issue with her.
Angela Rayner, she says, whatever I achieve, people still say I'm fit.
Yes.
And I want to get to the bottom of why do people keep saying this?
Why does everybody keep saying this?
Sorry, but if the mentally disabled child in the class keeps winning the egg and spoon race but still can't do mathematical sums, people will go, well done.
You've got your crayon certificate.
Yes.
Stop eating the crayons, Angela.
But no, no, I'm going to have a fair shot at this.
So what I've done is I've compiled her CV so we can have a look.
An origin story.
Yes, her origin story.
Is this one more truthful than Rachel Reeves?
Well, I think it is.
I mean, if you're going to lie, you wouldn't put this, basically.
So I'm pretty sure it's true.
So her CV is left school pregnant at 16 with no qualifications.
Do you know what her son does now?
No.
He and his wife make porn.
I didn't know that.
Yes.
She's raised an OnlyFans beta male.
You're kidding.
Nope.
I didn't know that.
Fair enough.
Well, I suppose I can't put that on the CV.
That'd be a suck.
Sorry, that's hilarious.
So she then starts work.
It's bad, but it's.
She then starts work as a care worker.
And I think she, at that point, she does get an NVQ in care work.
Now, if you don't know what an NVQ is.
Does it sound for not very qualified?
Yes.
Yes, you got there ahead of me.
Nobody in Britain really knows what they are because they're basically participation trophies just so the big people can have qualifications.
Sorry if I'm offending anyone, but it's true.
Then what does she do?
She becomes active in workplace representation.
Representation.
She joins Unison, and that turned out to be a successful pivot in life.
She is elected a Unison branch officer.
She becomes a full time unionist.
She is appointed Unison official organiser.
She is selected as Labour candidate.
So she's pretending she's working her whole life.
She's never done anything useful.
And she's about to become the PM.
You're getting ahead of me.
I was going to go through the full CV, but.
But yes, spoiler alert.
So she's wiped a couple of arses and complained about how much she's getting paid for wiping said arses, and now she might be Prime Minister by default.
Well, that's kind of where I'm going with this.
But let me run through it all the same.
She's elected Member of Parliament.
She is appointed Shadow Pensions Minister.
She is appointed Shadow Secretary of State for Education.
She is elected Deputy Leader.
She is appointed First Secretary of State and Chair of the Labour Party.
She is appointed Shadow Secretary of State.
She is appointed.
Shadow Secretary of State for Leveling and Housing Up in Communities.
She's appointed Deputy Prime Minister.
She's appointed State for Leveling Up in Housing.
Okay.
Look at the Stella CV.
I mean, look at her portfolios.
Actually, I need to say this because I think that this is going to help people who are trying to fix their LinkedIn profile.
All this, it's just, it doesn't matter.
It matters where you end up.
So she could say, You had all this CV.
I didn't.
And look where I am.
So it's all about, it's not about what you have.
Well, it's about what you're doing with it.
That gets you so far, which is kind of where I'm going with this.
But the point is, her entire list of achievements is being picked.
Yeah, but okay, so can we right to the top?
Yeah.
So she left school at 16.
Pregnant.
Yes, left school at 16, pregnant.
Then go down to her ministerial portfolio.
Yes.
So she is up a bit, up a bit.
Right, shadow pensions minister, but she hasn't worked very much.
So, no.
Shouldn't really be eligible for a pension except that she's a politician.
Then, shadow secretary of state for education, but didn't finish school.
Deputy leader of the Labour Party and chair of the Labour Party.
Then, shadow secretary of state for the future of work, despite barely working.
Yes.
And then go down a little bit.
And then, Shadow Secretary of State for levelling up housing communities despite living on a council estate, so not owning her own home, and then going on and buying said home and then not paying the tax on it, if I'm correct.
And then ends up as Deputy Prime Minister.
Well, yes.
My point with this is that there's no actual achievement on here at all.
It is all be every achievement, as I've highlighted in blue, it's being picked.
She has been picked.
That is all of it.
So basically.
Yeah, but wasn't she picked for good reasons?
You think?
Possibly.
I don't know what those reasons were.
Why would they pick her?
Well, she's bubbly.
She's confident.
Because she gets picked a lot.
I mean, that in the Gale world counts for a lot, I understand.
So, anyway, I thought, well, look, I'm biased because I'm on the right.
So, what I did is I took this to some AIs and I said, look, look at Angela Rayner, strip out all the time she's just being picked, selected, elected, anything like that.
Strip out all the pick stuff.
And what has she actually achieved?
And it came back with some stuff.
Oh, well, she worked with this and she was involved in this legislation.
It's like, okay, can any of that be measured?
Can any of that be proved to have any results?
And I had this fascinating exchange with ChatGPT.
What policies has she initiated and seen through?
There's no clear example of a policy that originates with Angela Rayner, designed under her direction, is then carried through.
Did the workers' rights bill get brought forward, didn't it?
And she had the.
Pub censorship law put in there where she said that employers would be on the hook for fines if the bar staff got offended about the conversations that were had in the pub.
Did that make it through the final bill?
She has been in office while other people's policies have been put through when she was picked for something.
Right.
As tragic, I said, whilst administered, any of her policies result in increased employment or any measurable improvements in the lives of the working class?
Xi Jinping's Infrastructure Legacy00:06:58
And the answer was, there's no well identified policy driven by Angela Rayner that can be linked to measurable increases in employment or living standards.
I said, is there any measurable political successes that have done anything for voters rather than her own career?
There are no incremental wins.
Oh, so there are incremental wins in constituency casework, but no measurable outcomes that can be isolated to her personal achievements.
So I once sent an email to Doris saying, I hear your concerns, but do anything about it.
Yes, there is a bit of that.
And so I'll take you back to the CV.
The reason why I'm a little bit concerned about this, and And to your point, Stelos, it kind of matters where you end up.
It's like, well, yes.
Oh, I can't get rid of that.
But if she's going to be a world leader, who is she up against?
Now, what I wanted to do is take a whole bunch of world leaders and look purely at what did they achieve before they became a world leader.
Now, Donald Trump, there's loads of stuff.
Yes, but there's an argument to this.
Right.
That she doesn't even need all that to get elected to the top position.
No, no, no, no.
She's a natural.
No, no.
That's one point.
My argument is not that she will.
Her political acumen is unmatched.
But I'm not arguing from the point of view of her own solipsistic world frame.
I'm saying she does get to the top.
You had me at She's Labour.
Yes.
Yes, us Labourers, as you would say.
But Donald Trump, this is what he achieved before becoming a president, right?
So, a multi billion dollar real estate footprint.
I mean, you probably know this one when it comes to Donald Trump, flagship New York assets.
Billion dollar plus scale developments, large scale leverage, you know, up to billions on projects, global licensing brand, um, global golf portfolio across like 20 countries.
Knocked out Vince McMahon at WrestleMania.
Yeah, all that kind of stuff.
Created a mass audience franchise.
The point is, what America needed was somebody who could build and create, and that is in the CV.
Okay.
Let's look at Vladimir Putin, shall we?
Um, again, another, um, another strong career.
You know, he, he built his trade carved in the KGB.
He was in St. Petersburg.
Um, You know, when the Soviet Union was collapsing, he oversaw foreign trade licensing and joint venture deals.
You know, in a chaotic market, he handled the sort of commodities, imports, and permits at the city level.
He scaled the administration.
He basically gave control in a breakdown environment.
That was what Russia needed.
It needed somebody to exercise control in a breakdown environment.
And he's got multiple points here where he has demonstrated the thing that his country needed.
So if you had like a DD character sheet, he's, he's, All of his points into, let's say, strength or something like authority.
Yes.
Trump's done his into bits of strength, maybe bits of wisdom.
What we're trying to locate here is which skill does Angela Rayner have a 20?
Well, let me just.
In not having skill, that's good for labor.
Yes.
In their mindset, if you're born and you're losing in the natural lottery, you have to be promoted.
If you're a spiteful musician.
Yeah, I mean, that is kind of how it works.
Xi Jinping, to be honest, as you said, she hasn't exactly lost on every front.
Such as what she won at.
I mean, come on.
Being peaked.
You said that you find her attractive.
I didn't say that.
It was Rory.
Okay, okay.
I mixed my colleagues.
Good God, Stelios.
Tar me with that brush.
Right, anyway.
Xi Jinping, what did he achieve before becoming president?
Three decades in governance.
Was that Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai?
He oversaw rapid regional GDP expansion.
You know, was it Zhejiang became one of China's richest, fastest growing province, right?
And again, I've highlighted that.
What did China need?
Rapid GDP expansion.
That's what Xi Jinping's CV screams in all of this.
You know, he drove exports, integrated global supply chains in the 2000s.
He managed large administrations over tens of millions of residents.
This is all before becoming president.
Asset investment, ports, industrial zones, maintain political stability during high growth, which is important to be authoritarian, yes, but that's what China needed.
Short term stabilization in Shanghai during a corruption scandal.
Core output, management at scale.
You can see why this person has the CV that gets them to the top of the tree in China.
Japan.
What do we got in Japan?
Shai Takanaki.
That's it.
What did she do?
She helped build Japan's supply chain and tech infrastructure framework, semiconductors, crucial infrastructure.
Policy alignment and basically her key skill is you know, reshoring and resilience.
You've got this heating battle between the US and China.
What does Japan need?
It needs somebody who can give them reshoring and resilience.
And again, a whole bunch of things on this list is yes, she has delivered the key thing.
Right.
I'll do another one.
Um, Naiba Cayley, what did he achieve before going anywhere near the presidency?
Um, you know, he was mayor of multiple places.
Um, oh, he's, I mean, he built up a Business, an advertising business before this, but he, you know, he's a mayoral candidate.
He delivered infrastructure.
He used the infrastructure in a targeted way.
A lot of it was lighting and a whole bunch of other things, urban regeneration and massively reducing crime.
That was what El Salvador needed.
That is what he delivered.
That's why he's got a CV.
He's not a career politician or a career complainer.
He got the skills.
He showed he had them.
He does have a lot of politician stuff in there, but a bit like Xi Jinping, he ran.
Smaller areas delivered results.
He gave the infrastructure, but in particular, in his case, it wasn't just the infrastructure, it was also the massive reduction in crime.
He entered the trial and error process, yes, and he fared well.
So, because he's got that background of urban regeneration and infrastructure and massive crime reduction, when he became leader of the whole country, he hit the ground running because he knew what he needed to do.
So, after all of that, let's look at the next world leader, Angela Rayner.
As you can see, it's a little bit slimmer.
It's a little bit tighter, this list.
It's pregnant at 16, NVQ in care work, and dealt with workplace grievance resolutions.
Labour Party Extinction Risks00:05:59
I wouldn't trust us to run crew council.
And we're going to be putting Angela Rayner up against.
Well, actually, I did a picture.
There we go.
So is any one of those, do we think the odd one out?
Four people who have achieved.
Tremendous things before going anywhere near the office and Angela Rayner.
Thoughts, gentlemen?
I mean, if this actually happens, it's going to be pretty dreadful.
The only consolation we can provide ourselves is if she continues to ruin the country at breakneck speed, the possibility of what the public will be happy with politically will open up.
But then, my addendum to that is always to remind people that are in favor of accelerationism.
There are still liberals in South Africa.
So, your positive argument is that things will get worse?
Yeah.
Right.
Not only this, but also just I want to say something good because I'm going to be bearer of good news.
I mean, me and every AI I could find couldn't find anything good to say about her.
So, if you can do it.
No, no, no.
That's not what I mean.
You misunderstood me.
I don't think she's going to become PM.
I think Labour is going to.
Starmer is doing such a bad job that no one wants to get the blame for the upcoming defeat.
I think most probably he is going to stay PM because everyone understands that the situation is so bad and so irreversible.
I don't think that's how it works.
I think Labour won't want to jump in and get blamed for the upcoming defeat.
And I think that they're going to continue to do it.
It's more like a video game.
If you want to be Prime Minister, you can't just reload the save.
If you want to be Prime Minister, you have to jump in and deal with the situation that you've got.
You've got one shot at it, and the shot is now.
You can absolutely wait for someone to get the blame for.
Labour is going extinct.
And then who's going to be the next leader?
The most popular.
Yeah, but Labour's going extinct at the next election.
She wants to be Prime Minister.
Now is the moment.
That's the way I look at it.
But she's held up as an example of excellence in the Labour Party.
And I thought, well, I won't attack her as a working class woman myself, but I'm going to let another working class woman do that.
So this was a sort of interesting bit from Alison Pearson on her recent podcast.
I really object.
To privately educated people, uh, admiring Angela Rayner as some sort of, um, you know, some sort of working class hero.
Because the working class heroes I grew up alongside, I was born in a council house, were the kids who, against the odds, work, tried to work hard in classrooms where the Angelas were in the back row, putting their makeup on, talking about who they were shagging and generally causing chaos and a mess for those of us who were trying to work and better ourselves.
So I, I think that something in me died the day that Jeremy Corbyn made Angela Reyner with her nurse NVQ1 qualification, left school pregnant, no other qualifications.
And he made her the shadow education secretary, which I thought was a huge insult to all the kids who did their homework, did their best, tried to get the best grades they could, and went on to make something of themselves.
And it seems to be entirely typical.
That a sort of bien pension progressive class thinks that Angela Reyner is authentically working class.
Many working class people cannot abide her.
And I'm told that she is hugely unpopular in Stockport and is very, very likely to lose her seat at the.
Let's have a look at that, shall we?
I mean, she's basically the Catherine Tate character, the schoolgirl character.
Yes.
She's all grown up.
Yep.
This is the expectations for her constituency.
Ashton underline.
Chance of winning at the next election, reform 67%.
Maybe she might ask you for a copy of that CV, Dan.
Yes.
She's probably getting it in order.
She's probably going to have the trouble of typing it up and had it spell checked, so why not?
Yeah, well, you've done a better job than she could, my goodness.
Well, my spelling's not that good, but still.
But this is my point, Stelios.
If she's going to go for it, if you're a Labour MP, I mean, the next Labour Prime Minister is probably going to be the last Labour Prime Minister ever.
I mean, it's now or never.
If you're desperate to sip the poison chalice, this is the last sip you're going to get.
Yes.
Yeah.
So if you want your name in the history books.
The point is, you can never know with stupid people because you can never understand them.
You expect them to act rationally.
Yes.
And every time something happens which merits a response, they tend to act irrationally.
Well, yes.
And, you know, she keeps pushing back on this.
She says, look, often I get called thick because I left school at 16 and pregnant without formal qualifications.
You could have just stopped the sentence there.
Yes.
But my point is, and Angela, if you're watching this, as I'm sure you do, I'm not having a pop at you.
I kind of am having a pop at you personally, to be fair, because I'm calling you thick and unqualified.
But I'm sure you're a nice person.
I'm sure you're a nice person.
I'm sure you're good value down the pub.
But what have you got to point to?
Even yourself, the only thing you can point to is leaving school without qualifications because that is pretty much literally the only thing on your CV.
Why can't you point to your achievements like every other world leader can point to a long string of achievements?
Calling Angela Thick and Unqualified00:03:37
There's an answer here.
What's that?
She's speaking the language of the left better than others do.
Because when you want to examine CVs, you don't want them to tell you.
Irrelevant things you want them to tell you what is relevant to the job, so I what in her mind and in the mind of the left, this is chief grievances officer, yes.
But I just constantly saying, I'm a victim, I'm a victim, I'm a victim.
But I don't even agree with that because I reckon if Angela see Angela Rayner was 16 again, she would be in the Green Party, she wouldn't even join Labour.
I mean, her politics are Green Party politics, so so she's not even relevant to the left anymore, but um, but she's probably going to be prime minister.
Um, so look forward to a world stage that looks like that.
Who's up next?
Is that you, Stephen?
Yes, we are.
Bad comments.
Oh, comments.
We do.
People have been very generous.
Comments of the people.
Oh, very good.
Yeah, because I complain when they do the one or two pound ones.
Oh, we've got a few of those.
Okay.
Well, I'm going to complain about that.
Connor Smug Mug says Hello, Connor.
It's good to come out of the cupboard.
Angela is a regime approved tallest midget, smartest tard.
Okay.
Big fan of yours.
Wonderful.
Thank you very much, sir.
Oglador says the US for a solid $5.
It says US nearly got Kamala, so there's a non zero chance.
That's Ochigdor.
That's Ochigdor.
Ochidor.
If ever there were an indictment of democracy, it is that sentence.
Yes, that's very true.
Cute Queen for another solid $5.
Connor is back.
I am so excited.
When are you guys going to do a crossover episode with John Doyle?
Yeah, we saw your female viewership was stagnating, so they thought they would bring us back into rotation.
Hello, everyone.
John Doyle was actually an excellent guest.
I just don't know if he's If and when he's ever going to come over to me, am I considered too sexually threatening or something, or just too potent?
No, just all right.
Um, fallius of malice for another solid five dollars says, When every stat is a dump stat, yes, I should do a top trumps episode, shouldn't I?
It's good, lads, out, yes.
Uh, sigil stone for two dollars says, Guys, there's a very loud music drifting across the ocean from the direction of Britain, it sounds like clown music, yes, yes, we're getting your.
I mean, it could have ended up as being Kamala and Angela Rayner leading the Anglo sphere, couldn't it?
Fallius of Malice also says of another solid $5.
The most unbelievable thing about Angela Rayner is that someone was able to.
I probably better not read the rest of that.
Spoken like a man who's never slept with a woman he didn't like.
Yes.
Oh, look at that.
Look at that.
$50.
Well done.
GM Gunther.
You got the purple.
Box come up on my screen, which means important person.
Dan will give you a personal lap dance for that one.
Yes, probably would actually.
Just here to give Dan plenty of room to complain about the rest of you.
Oh no, I like these two.
These are top chaps.
What are you talking about?
Oh no, the commenters.
Yes.
Yes.
Aspire to purple, people.
That's what we want.
Right.
Stelios.
Yeah, I'm not going to talk about Angela Rayner.
Thanks.
I've got the wrong mouse.
So, that's my one.
Suspicious Behavior in Black Communities00:15:40
I can see because it's plugged in by a wire.
That's how I know.
I can't boom with that tech.
I regret to inform you that your neighborhood is racist.
Have you ever been concerned about suspicious activity in your neighborhood?
Have you ever spotted any suspicious presence in your neighborhood?
I'm a proper curtain twitcher myself, but I don't do it with curtains.
I've got a CCTV set up all the way around my house so I can just sit in my office and I've got a screen.
And if anyone eats, someone just walks past my house, I can profile them.
You also have hot oil to drink.
To poor people who come to your door.
Well, no, I don't know.
It's not for himself, obviously.
No.
But it gets the lotion.
Connor, have you been concerned about people in your neighborhood?
Yes, I've had to ring the police a couple of times.
So I'm going to use the R word for both of you, and I don't mean cognitively challenged.
So your neighborhood is racist.
So I have good and bad news for people.
The good news are very good news, and the bad news are.
dangerous and they are about to create a problem for the good news.
The good news is we are going to talk about Michigan and the crime rate and it's dropping.
There seems to be a decreasing tendency.
Let us look at this here.
40%, sorry, what the, where is it?
Property rate, Michigan.
Let's look at this here.
They're saying only 1,379 property crimes per 100,000 people.
Washington DC is 3,693 property crimes per 100K people.
Impressive.
Very nice.
Let's see the ethnic.
Right.
So here, you see here, total offenses have dropped 10.2% in Michigan.
So there seems to be a positive trend in crime.
In DC, they've dropped more, to be honest.
Is it because they cancel SNAP EBT benefits and so the populations don't have the energy to just go out and smash things up anymore?
But you see here, Michigan is doing really well.
Are you trying to tell us?
In 2024.
You're trying to tell us that Michigan has done something right and you're leading.
Yes, but there is something that they're doing very wrong now, which is very indicative of the trajectory things are going to take.
And I want to warn people about this and not people just in Michigan.
People should be very much weary of this.
Let us look at the good things because.
I'm a person who wants to give credit where it's due.
Murder has dropped sort of 12% in Michigan in 2024 relative to 2023.
Great.
Good news?
Is that because everyone that was worth killing is dead?
Sorry.
Rape has dropped close to 8%.
I'm not going to make that joke.
Yep.
Robbery has dropped 15.2%.
Assault has dropped 4.3%.
Burglary minus 11.2%.
Larceny theft minus 10%.
Motor vehicle theft minus 18%.
Overall crime rate minus 10.2%.
So things are really going well.
So they got like a mini Bukele in or something, did they?
No.
Right.
No.
In fact, right now they have the opposite of Bukele because they want to communicate the message across that everyone's welcome.
Hang on, this is Whitmer's territory.
How the hell has this happened?
Let's see what happens here.
Did it say nothing actually happened or something?
Now, when good news, when good things happen, I'm of the opinion let us continue doing what we're doing because good news have come about.
And see, for instance, here they're saying that they have increased arrests, they're disrupting violent crime, cyber threats.
They are really cracking down on crime.
So I'm confused because everything you're telling us sounds like Michigan is getting better.
That's what the stats say.
That's what these stats are saying.
These stats are for 2024.
They show a drop in crime relative to 2023.
We still have to see what's going to happen in 2026 because it's an ongoing year and it's a tough year.
Let's admit this.
Quick question.
Let me just mention this.
There was also a spike in crime during COVID, and there is a large drop in crime because COVID has.
COVID has ended.
Well, I think that spike had something to do with the Black Lives Matter riots during COVID.
Given last year, there was a massive scandal about the improper recording of violent crimes by the Washington, D.C. area because they wanted to fudge the numbers and make Muriel Bowser's record look better than it actually was.
Have these statistics accounted for that, or is this just another matter of lying by statistics to make Democrats look better?
That's a good question.
That's a good question.
It's worth checking out.
Right.
So.
They saw this drop in crime in Ann Arbor City Council and they decided, right, let's remove neighborhood watch signs.
Let me tell you why they did so.
Personally, I'm not a romantic.
If something doesn't work, it doesn't work.
And I'm fine with it being removed for the grounds of it not working.
But that wasn't the ground that they mentioned.
Why do you think they did it?
Made minorities feel unsafe.
And unwelcome, would you want people to feel very welcome close to your neighborhood, in your neighborhood, close to your house?
Where's your hospitality, Connor?
I'm locking my door, but it's okay.
I don't want people to feel welcome anywhere near my house.
Come on, isn't that heartless?
Oh, yeah, but I don't care.
That's me because I want them to stay away, right?
Okay, let's see what happened here and why they're saying this is Ann Arbor Mayor Chris Taylor, and I will show you also something about Cynthia Harrison, who is a council member who is working with him.
And let me tell you what they're saying here.
Let me find exactly where it is.
The final discussion was about directing the removal of neighborhood crime watch signs.
The resolution states despite the signs' well intentioned origins, they have not reduced crime rates.
Council member said she believes the more than 600 signs still standing represent a defunct program that does not represent the city's core beliefs.
Is this the direction they want to be heading towards?
Okay.
They have some good news.
They have a decrease in crime.
They say, fine, let us just open the doors to everyone.
That's because the signs themselves are not what stops criminals.
It's the fact that there is the presence behind the sign that the sign communicates.
It's the willingness to enforce the law via force that stops the criminals.
Because criminals are not going to respect the signs, they're just going to do a cost benefit analysis of.
Am I going to get my ass kicked or am I going to get away with this?
And if they aren't going to get their ass kicked, then they're just going to do what they think they can get away with.
So, you need actually a higher presence of Neighborhood Watch rather than just signs with the hypothetical threat that you might encounter a member of Neighborhood Watch or a police officer.
Absolutely.
And there is a factor of deterrence in it that they are saying they're not working.
And I want to say one thing, because this applies irrespective of whether crime is going up or down.
Why not be careful?
That's one thing.
When they're saying they are not reducing crime rates, they're actually shifting the blame of responsibility from them.
To the signs.
It's not the job of the sign to reduce crime rate on its own.
The sign is a sign.
It functions as deterrence, but what it does in a way is it sends the message across that this is a community that takes its safety more seriously than the average community.
But they've inverted the premise here because if they believe that all human beings are exactly the same, then they're going to blame the signs for making black people feel unwelcome for the reason that black people commit disproportionately higher crimes.
So they genuinely think.
Again, if you get rid of the signs and make someone feel unwelcome, then there will be no crime and hey presto, John Lennon's imagine.
Right.
So the Neighborhood Watch signs that still stand across Ann Arbor really come from a different era, Aya said.
The program they reference is no longer active.
The hotline no longer functions.
And the signs are not connected to any current public safety strategy of the city.
Yet they remain posted throughout the Neighborhoods, continuing to send a message that no longer reflects our values or our practices.
Harrison said the city backtracked on its progressive ideals in the 70s, causing an influx of these signs, which may intimidate black residents.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
What happened in Michigan in the 60s?
I don't know, Connor.
Euler, Detroit riots.
Is there a reason why people might have felt unsafe because of black residents in Michigan?
Yes, but open doors have a value in themselves.
Yeah, they're easier to steal from.
Exactly.
We previously said open doors.
And then we put up signs that say, scrutinize who walks through them.
Okay, anyone else come into your house then, mate?
Signs don't just sit there, they speak.
For many people, especially black and brown residents and visitors, those signs have never felt very neutral.
They signal the unfamiliarity itself is suspicious, that their presence must be justified, that belonging is conditional.
Yes.
Yes, that's all true.
Okay, so.
Like, if your presence in my house and you're a stranger, then yes, your belonging is conditional.
On you not being a stranger.
And if you're a stranger, I want you out of my house.
So, the program they reference, as they say, is no longer active.
What happened?
When they had these signs, there were some meetings with the community and the police.
And the police was teaching the participants, the community members, all sorts of things, such as how to distinguish between apparently suspicious behavior and actively suspicious behavior.
They say that the program is no longer active.
So, one question why not reactivate it?
The left is always trying to raise awareness about things.
Even from a woke perspective, why not try to do the seminar of saying, well, these are the stereotypes.
You may think that these people are suspicious because of these stereotypes, but this is actually suspicious behavior.
And if there is a discrepancy between them, a deviation, why not?
Because the only constant in the woke perspective is the unified field theory that everything is white people's fault.
And so, if white people put up signs saying, we don't want black home invaders, then they blame the white people for provoking the black people to invade their home.
So, if you just take down the signs, the black people won't feel provoked.
So, from the woke perspective, actually, you getting your home broken into and stolen from and killed is actually the compassionate thing to do.
Well, sorry, I will say I don't care.
I want my house safe.
I don't care if people don't feel welcome or anything.
It's my house.
I open the door to whoever, to anyone I want to.
And yeah, I don't care about the hurt feelings.
The whole thing is that this is definitely something that will sort of backtrack all the good news.
If this sort of mentality, let's go back to open doors.
We heard some good news, crime decreased a bit, so let's open our doors to be more welcoming.
This is absolutely going to destroy Michigan again.
This is not the way to respond to good news.
It's building a sandcastle right on the shore because you saw the tide went out and then expecting the tide not to come back in.
Exactly.
So I want you to hear now what the mayor says.
Let's play this a bit.
Previous one.
Yep.
Briefly, neighborhood watch signs are expressions of exclusion and they're inconsistent with our values.
In our Brazil welcoming community, we don't want to push people away, we want to welcome folks in.
So, I'm going to stop it here.
So, first of all, a door is an exclusion.
With your door, you're excluding people from entering.
That's why I have a door.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why you have a door.
There are also other exclusionary spaces like toilets.
You close the door because you want to exclude the world from that place.
So I don't see what the problem is with exclusion as such.
They have an unconditional hatred of exclusion.
In some respects, exclusion is absolutely merited.
Now, when they're saying that it doesn't reflect the values of our communities, well, what does this mean?
That you want the house to be open to everyone?
You want the house to become a commune?
That's absolutely what they want.
No, what they're referring to is the black community would like the doors of the white community to remain open so they can steal from them.
But it's not just that.
It's also the idea of don't think I can pose a danger to you.
Don't think that I would actually do that.
Yeah, there are absolutely people who are going to do this.
And when it comes to neighborhood watch signs, again, I said I'm not a romantic.
If they don't work, they don't work, scrap them.
But that's not the justification they're giving.
When it comes to someone who is absolutely committed to commit a crime, yes, the signs are not going to stop them.
But when you have people who are about to commit low crime, they want, generally speaking, the path of least resistance.
And that may function as deterrence.
It also functions as a sort of community building sentiment that you're a member of a community, you're a neighbor of a neighborhood that takes safety into account a bit more seriously than the average neighborhood.
Let's look at Cynthia Harrison here and what she says.
There are people that look like me and those from my community that have been questioned, quite frankly, in their own neighborhood by others, you know, wondering what they're doing there.
This is just representative of our values and what we want people to feel in Ann Arbor.
They were not connected to any existing.
The reason that she's being questioned is because black women have a higher rate of murder than white men.
That could also be the woke diagnosis of this because they're constantly seeing people asking them and allegedly projecting.
Upon them stereotypes.
Sometimes you just don't want people who you think act in a suspicious way close to your house.
Stereotypes are largely true as well.
And so if you have to make a snap judgment based on appearance, then yeah, that's a fair snap judgment to make.
Woke Diagnosis of Stereotypes00:04:31
I'm sorry.
So, if you check out her profile a bit, you'll see again the whole Black Lives Matter thing.
Also, the whole Black History Month.
Ann Arbor's own Cynthia Harrison advocates for the most vulnerable among us.
And I want to say one thing.
So, she advocates for the allegedly oppressed.
This whole thing costed $18,000.
Why not?
Let's say they're not working at all.
It's not that they're harming.
It's not that people look at neighborhood watch signs and they go and steal because they watch the signs.
Aren't there better ways to use that money, even from a leftist perspective?
Their premise is that it's harmful, it's stigmatizing because you're drawing conclusions about the behavior of certain groups based on their behavior.
Yeah, so typical politician actually doesn't have anything to show.
She wants to basically create a problem out of nowhere and present herself as being the solution to it.
And this is incredibly bad.
Let's see here.
This is an article by Hoodline.
Ann Arbor Young's 600 Neighborhood Watch Signs and Inclusivity Showdown.
They say cancel vote, money, schedule.
Why officials say the signs matter.
The resolution traces the Neighborhood Watch program back to the 70s and says those efforts were often rooted in assumptions about who did and did not belong in a neighborhood, reinforcing race based hypervigilance and suspicion.
I'm sorry, this is social engineering that has absolutely no place in any legitimate society.
This is the state coming and telling you you're not allowed to be anxious about your neighborhood.
Unless you're a regime approved activist, you're not allowed to be a concerned citizen.
But not just that.
That's the message.
Let's go one step further.
If Irina Zarutska had practiced assumptions about who did and did not belong in a neighborhood, reinforcing race based hypervigilance and suspicion, she'd still be alive.
So actually, at this point, I mean, Americans completely the opposite.
What's the phrase?
Don't relax.
The message is.
Or it needs to be suspicious.
Yes, but Connor, the game is open doors now, not exclusion.
Unconditional open doors.
Well, I think many of our viewers, Stelios, would prefer to live instead.
Right.
Okay.
And final question just who decided that these are the ideals that the community has to enact and live on?
That's absolutely ridiculous.
And I want to say this is, again, micromanagement of decline.
If the signs don't work, fine.
Okay, at some point, scrap them.
But don't do that for inclusivity reasons.
And if good things are happening and crime goes down, don't respond with stupidity and utopian thinking.
Excellent.
Sounds like you pull up the next segment, please.
We do have a rumble rant, Dan, if you'd like to read that out.
We do.
We have an excellent comment from Phallus of Malice again, who says.
For a solid $5.
Women have suffered enough.
End women's suffrage.
Couldn't agree more, sir.
Couldn't agree more.
Very sound.
Oh, hapsification.
I will congratulate the Lotus Eaters on reaching 100,000 followers on Rumble.
Let's aim to hit 250,000 next.
Eyeballs and Reach is power in and of itself.
Lotus Eaters are rising.
Yes, that's very good.
Steggleson says there's a drop in crime stats because a third of police departments no longer report their stats to the FBI.
Yes, that doesn't make sense.
Good old GM Gunther is back with an orange one this time.
He says, Note, Neighborhood Watch as a program has been more or less unfunded for over a decade, so these signs were pointless anyway.
Remove them as a performance fee.
Yeah, they could simply pass something that says, don't replace them.
Or if you're doing work there anyway, you can take them out.
But, you know, otherwise, yeah, just ignore.
Oh, we've got another purple has cropped up.
$20 for Midwinter's Day, who says, government candidate Jocelyn Benson, who tried to kick Trump off the ballot, is in charge of the state election.
Former Detroit mayor also running used contaminated dirt.
Huh.
Current mayor was.
Whitewashed Grooming Gang Reports00:08:54
Banging the contractor.
Right.
That's typical state corruption, then.
It's interesting.
Oh, and Wesley says for $5, they don't care about inclusivity.
They don't want potential wealthy investors to see these signs everywhere.
Yep.
Well, I wish I had some better news, lads.
So it turns out the Labour government's series of local grooming gang inquiries, of which only one location has been announced Oldham, two still to go, are just going to be another cover up.
It's going to be another containment exercise, another limited hangout of letting some of the narrative drip out to contain public outrage and then indefinitely defer the day at which judgment befalls both the Pakistani communities that produced the perpetrators and also the state officials who covered it up, many of whom were complicit.
And I thought I would start with Shabana Mahmood's announcement.
Her pledge to say the grooming gang scandal is one of the darkest moments in our country's history.
The Independent National Inquiry will now begin its crucial work to uncover how these crimes were allowed to happen and root out failure wherever it occurred.
There'll be no hiding place for the predatory monsters who committed these vile crimes.
Now, just as a superficial judgment, chaps, do you think this woman is a trustworthy, credible person to be making these promises?
Well, as you pointed out, it is a bit of an indictment on the Pakistani community.
She's Pakistani, isn't she?
Oh, no, she's English.
English is you and me.
She, after all, says that George Orwell would have recognised her as English, despite the fact that she cites a passage from Orwell's England My England, where he says, How do you know if a country is the same?
It's a bit like looking at a photograph of yourself when you're five and seeing.
The vague recognition of the same traits, even though you've changed, which implies that you need to be the same people to be the same country.
But nevertheless, she's English.
She also said that Islam is the most important thing in her life and is the driving reason for why she's called public service in the first place.
Yes.
Which therefore makes it a bit problematic when you're promising, as a Home Secretary, in the terms of reference for the National Inquiry, if we just go down to, it's available on the HTML here, if we go down to 4.3, the purpose and the objectives of the inquiry.
Is the inquiry must examine the factors that allowed or caused exploitation and abuse to happen and go unaddressed at a local level, including the role of ethnicity, religion, and culture of the perpetrators and victims.
So they're not really going to do that.
They're promising to.
They're promising to investigate that.
If they actually did that, I mean, it would just blow the lid off their entire narrative.
Yes.
And the problem that they have is with the people involved and the timescale.
Which indicates they have no intention of doing so.
Because if you go to number five here and they say the scope, and you go down to 5.5, the inquiry must examine issues arising pertaining to the grooming gangs between the 1st of January 1996 and the 31st of March 2029.
So, what's the problem with this?
It's a fewfold.
As Shabana Mahmood laid out in her statement before Parliament, the problem is, number one, as it says 2029, this isn't going to happen until after the election.
How convenient for Labour.
So they're throwing 65 million quid at this to indefinitely defer it until after the general election.
Ah, yes.
Also, 1996 is not when this started.
Because as we'll go through later, we have copious amounts of evidence that these gangs were known about ever since the 70s and started at least around the 50s and 60s when we decided that because of one landslide in Pakistan, we'd import thousands of Mirpuris into Manchester and Birmingham.
So, when was that landslide in Mirpur?
It was late 50s.
Oh, okay.
Because that's what really triggered it.
And I know we say it's Pakistanis who do this, but it's basically all of them are Mirpurians.
Well, it is, but then in.
In the gangs themselves, Islam acts as a kind of binding agent for men of other ethnic groups.
And then there was a gang in Bristol that operated in basically the same function, and they were Somali.
And then there's also been gypsy gangs in Scotland, Roma, who themselves are ethnically Pakistani, but not from Mirpur.
I see.
So the Pakistani Mirpurians, they're kind of the franchise owners, but other people have bought into the franchise since.
Yeah.
You could say, in terms of dodgy foreign sex predators, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Yeah.
So again, the scope of the inquiry, the fact that it's not going to be delivered until after this government are out of office and they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to board what Starmer called a far right bandwagon, and also the person chairing it gives us cause for doubt.
So Mahmoud has appointed the chair and the two panellists because the former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper did not do so before she was out of office.
So the chair is a Labour Baroness.
Called Baroness Anne Longfield.
We can get her up here.
She was appointed as a Labour peer in January of 2025.
She was formally the Children's Commissioner between the 1st of March 2015 and March 2021.
So, the years that the Alexis J. and Louise Casey inquiries into Rotherham and the Telford inquiry were carried out.
So, she was Children's Commissioner during the time that the previous inquiries were carried out, including the 2020 Home Office inquiry that was commissioned in 2018, was hidden, and then came out with the false findings that, well, white men are mainly.
To blame.
Yeah, so all of those were whitewashes, and so she's basically been involved in a series of whitewashes before.
Yes.
It's kind of ironic that her name's Longfield as well, considering they're kicking this into the long grass.
Quite.
And she also did something very, very dodgy upon becoming Children's Commissioner.
There was a previous deputy Children's Commissioner who oversaw the Children's Commissioner's report in 2012 into the grooming gangs.
And this woman is Sue Berylowitz, and she was given a 134.
£4,000 severance pay package after the publication of the report, after while she was on the job failing to speak out about the gangs in preceding years.
And then the report itself, again, blamed white men, even though it admitted the disproportionate share of the perpetrators were Asian Pakistani.
Let's not smear the Japanese over this.
So she oversaw the interim report.
And then this is the interim report here.
And if we go to page 15, please, Sansom, if you can just type that in at the bar at the top.
On page 15, it says.
As with the victims' data under the Who Are the Perpetrators section, individuals classified as white form the largest group of perpetrators in both gangs and groups.
Black and minority ethnic individuals, particularly those loosely recorded or reported as Asian, are the second largest category of perpetrators reported via the call for evidence.
However, that would be true.
Well, if you look at the disproportionate share of perpetrators compared to their share of the population, you realize a massive per capita overrepresentation here.
But they don't go into that, they just talk about.
Total shares because you would expect in a normal country the main ethnic group of the country to be the majority perpetrator of crimes until you start adding other criminal populations into the mix.
Because, as was pointed out in the journalist Peter McLaughlin's book Easy Meat back in 2016, which is an excellent compendium of what was known about the grooming gang scandal up until 2016, he points out that the National Crime Agency's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command CEOP had put out a report before this.
Finding that Asian, Pakistani men, were 28% of the perpetrators and white men were 30% of the perpetrators.
Now, this report, if you dig into the data, obviously they've represented it as white men most likely to commit this kind of crime.
If you actually look into the data per capita, this report found that 21% of the perpetrators were Asian and white men were 27% of the perpetrators.
When it came to the victims of localized grooming, CEOP found that Asian girls were 3% of the victims, despite Asian men being 28% of the perpetrators.
61% of the victims were white girls.
The Children's Commissioner report here found that 4% of the victims were Asian, Pakistani, 50% of the victims were white.
So, this report actually confirmed the findings of the earlier report that said there is a problem here, but buried it under saying white men are the most responsible.
So, this was a total cover up 14 years ago.
We knew it was a cover up 14 years ago, and yet it's still taken time and time again, repeat bounce of the rising and falling of this scandal to get.
More and more reports, more and more inquiries, and the same people are involved in doing the inquiries that constantly whitewash and kick into the long grass the findings.
Buried Racism Inquiry Findings00:15:36
And the woman that oversaw this, Sue Berylowitz, got £134,000 severance pay from the taxpayer.
It gets worse.
The next day, Berylowitz was then hired on a £960 a day consultancy fee the day after leaving the department.
She got £134,000 severance pay, screwed up that inquiry.
Blamed white men for the Pakistani grooming gangs and then was rehired on 960 quid a day.
So she was rehired by the same organization.
Yes.
Oh, right.
Well, that's a stitch up then.
Yes.
It also broke Whitehall rules, so the contract had to be cancelled.
It was that bad.
Who defended it was Baroness Longfield.
Right.
So she defended it while she was head of the Children's Commissioner, saying that Sue was doing vital work.
That vital work being covering up the grooming gangs.
And she deserved a few hundred thousand pounds from us for that.
Yeah, as I said, it was so bad, she actually had to be stripped of her position.
Sue Berylowitz's consultancy contract was terminated last week.
Oliver Berman, a spokesperson for the Office of the Children's Commissioner, told The Times the contract has a one month notice period.
Longfield, also, while she was Children's Commissioner, celebrated the fact that exams were moved to accommodate Ramadan.
So, are we really going to believe that this woman supervising the inquiry is going to look into the role of Islam in motivating the grooming gangs?
Excuse my scepticism.
Optimism is low at this point.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, what they would definitely do is try to isolate the factor, try to present it as a multitude of isolated incidents that have nothing to do with sort of religious feeling or something.
And they would say that even religion wasn't even relevant in people turning a blind eye to crimes.
Any of the court transcripts will disabuse you of that notion.
Yeah, like the one in 2017.
Yeah, but that is definitely what they're going to say.
Yeah, well, the guys in Rotherham, when they were sentenced in 2017, yelled Allah Akbar as they were walking out of the dock.
You've had Dr. Ella Hill, the pseudonymous survivor, say, Yeah, I was denigrated, forced to read Quran verses.
Some girls have been forced to convert.
They've been married off to their abusers in Islamic ceremonies while their social workers were present.
So, I mean, religion is an aggravating factor of the abuse.
It's where some of them derive their justification.
And I don't hold out any hopes that the Pakistani Muslim Home Secretary, overseeing the Labour peer baroness who celebrated the moving of exams to accommodate Ramadan, will investigate that particular thorny issue.
Also, another reason for pessimism is to ask okay, so we're going back to 1996 only.
But how long did the state know about this?
So, there was a parliamentary report into this that accompanied the announcement of the terms of.
Of reference.
This was just published in late March.
And in the research briefing itself, if we open it up here, just with the full report button, in the preface, it says, Why have there been calls for an inquiry?
And it starts in the early 2010s.
It seems to be a massive omission there of all the time that Labour was in government when we were talking about this beforehand.
Yes.
I mean, we had the entire Blair saga, we had David Blunkett trying to criminalise Islamophobia.
While there were gangs operating in Sheffield, we had Jack Straw, the former Labour Home Secretary, who later came out and said the girls are being used as easy meat in a 2013 Derby trial, but he knew about the scandal beforehand.
So why does it conspicuously start at 2010?
Well, because that's when the Tories won.
Yeah.
Yeah, quite.
So I decided to do some bigging, and I produced quite an extensive timeline here.
I've also made this available down in the description in a full Substack piece that everyone can use as a resource with all the links and that.
But just to go through this, reminder, by the way, the same Home Office civil servants that are going to be supervising this inquiry did the post Southport report commissioned by former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper that called the grooming gangs itself a grievance narrative invented by right wing extremists.
So they don't even believe that it's real.
So these are the people that are setting the terms of reference.
Okay, excellent.
These are also the same people that probably oversaw the 2018 to 2020 Home Office report that also said that white men are most to blame, despite citing a paper.
In the paper itself, that said 75% of the perpetrators were Pakistani.
And then Baroness Casey in 2025 had to say, Well, I don't know where they got the evidence for that.
That's just bunk.
So, same civil servants are doing that.
But, oh, and also, four of the survivors have already quit the advisory panel because they were told to stop blaming brown men for their abuse.
Those survivors also called for Jess Phillips to step down, which is why she was grilled at a Home Affairs Select Committee meeting last two weeks ago and asked, Why is the Home Office even overseeing this?
Shouldn't the Cabinet Office be doing this?
Because you can't be trusted.
And Jess Phillips went, Shrug.
Anyway, so the bit before is just classic victim blaming, which is what the left is always trying to say that they don't do.
Are you implying that Sabah Kaiser might have some ulterior motive to deflect away from the culpability of, quote, brown men for these crimes?
Yes.
I may have to agree with you on that one, Dan.
Anyway, so we know these crimes date back over 50 years, basically since the time that Pakistanis were imported into the country, which means just don't import any Pakistanis if you would like to keep your children safe.
Because we have an article from the Robber Room advertiser talking about a girl, age 15, very well used sexually, back in 1975.
So, about a decade after about 5,000 Mirpuris initially migrated to the UK, you've got the gangs operating in plain sight.
I suspect it didn't actually take a decade.
No, no.
Probably like a few weeks after they arrived.
This is just the earliest available reporting that people have been able to track.
Yes.
Yes.
There was also a police officer who spoke to the Mail in 2011.
Again, lots of these headlines that have just been reporting on what was going on decades ago have been 15 years old.
So, it's not like we've just had collective amnesia for the last 10, 15 years.
The inquiries come now and it's going to do the same things for other inquiries.
Anyway, this is retired Detective Superintendent Mick Gradwell, who was patrolling nightclubs in Blackburn.
Quote, where one of the issues was Asian men cruising around in BMWs and Mercs trying to pick up young drunken girls in 1979.
So the Pakistani drug trade, which is the means by which the girls are trafficked and, of course, drugged for the abuse, was operating in the late 70s.
Again, about two decades after these people showed up.
The tactics were the same.
The police knew about it then, did nothing.
Did nothing, yep.
Yep.
So then we go to 1996, which is where it starts.
And we know, for example, that a Rotherham Social Services investigation found 70 girls in residential care homes.
We were coercing what they called child prostitution.
No such thing as a child prostitute, of course.
The Home Office then funded a research project which concluded in 2001 but was never published.
So, again, 25 years ago, the Home Office were researching this, didn't publish it, did nothing.
What we do know is that Pakistani taxi firms and takeaway shops were used to facilitate the trafficking, and the girls were being picked up outside schools, bus and train stations, in residential care homes, and via homelessness projects.
Quite a record of cover up.
Yeah.
It continues, just keeps getting worse.
That same year, 2001, David Blunkett tried to criminalise Islamophobia.
That was scuppered because of 9 11.
But then he tried to do it again in 2006.
And in that same year, 2006, the Home Office was investigating child exploitation in his own constituency.
David Blunkett being the former Home Secretary.
Ah.
Yes.
He's come out today in the Mirror, by the way, to say that reform are far right.
Good.
I wish they were.
Yeah, exactly.
Quite.
Yeah.
Also in 2001, Rotherham had a meeting of key players with Risky Business, which is Jane Senior's charity trying to stop young girls from being exploited.
They had their office broken into and all of their laptops and documents stolen.
Police didn't follow up on that one.
They promised to send David Blunkett a letter, actually, at the time, detailing the problems raised in the meeting.
We don't know if he ever got that letter.
There was another meeting in 2002 of key players that actually named a series of abusers who later went to prison.
So they accurately named the perpetrators who, over a About a decade later, got sent to jail.
They also highlighted takeaways, taxi firms, hotels.
Again, don't know if any preventative action was taken by the police who were present at the meeting.
There was an anti racism coordinator present, though.
Oh, good.
Made sure to, you know, handle the narrative to make sure it was sanitized.
There was another 2010 Rotherham safeguarding children report.
And don't worry, that took great care to stress that great care will be taken in drafting this report to ensure that its findings embrace Rotherham's qualities of diversity.
It's imperative that suggestions of a wider cultural phenomenon are avoided.
So, again, time after time, we've had reports, we've had newspaper clippings, we've had the police, they've known about it for 50 odd years, and nothing's been done.
But it's weird.
In the public sector, all they ever talk about is lessons learned.
But what they're saying here is we are going to do our absolute best to make sure no lessons are learned.
No, the lesson learned is to cover it our better next time.
Well, yes.
This entire segment is basically like gaslight protection.
Because I haven't seen anyone else reporting on this.
I approached a couple of newspapers with this information.
They said, well, it's not really current.
So, you know, the abuse of children apparently just not selling headlines at this time, I suppose.
I see.
Okay.
Again, people knew about this.
So Dennis McShane, who actually went to prison over the expenses scandal.
Oh, yes.
Top character chap.
He was the MP for Roverham and he said that he knew about it.
He didn't raise the issue in Parliament because, as a Guardian reading liberal lefty, I was afraid to rock the multicultural community boat.
Well, at least he's honest.
I mean, I'd.
Give him that, yeah.
It's better than Simon Danchuk, who was the MP of Rotherham afterwards.
Um, who called the police on Katie Hopkins for saying Pakistani men are abusing children in your constituency and then had the temerity to run as a reform candidate.
And has then since come around and said, Oh, yeah, we knew about it at the time.
And I was whistleblowing internally to Labour Party and they shut me down.
It's like, Well, why did you try and have Katie Hopkins thrown in prison?
That is a bit of a reform thing, isn't it?
To try and get people arrested who say that who say things that are true, yeah, specifically about the grooming gangs.
Yes, why is reform carrying so much water for the grooming gangs?
I don't get it, don't know.
Um, remember, by the way, that.
The inquiry is confined to only three locations, right?
We only know one location, that's Oldham, because Jess Phillips tried to stop there being a local inquiry with government assistance in Oldham, which is what kick started the whole controversy in the first place.
But remember, it's affected over 50 towns and cities.
Like Charlie Peace has done a nice interactive map.
But we know that as far back as 2013, so this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, that Thames Valley Police Chief Constable Sarah Thornton warned that there were child trafficking rings in every city in the country.
So again, we've known that this has been the case for over 10 years.
Sadiq Khan's still playing dumb.
I don't know what a grooming gang is, even though the Met police say, yeah, they're definitely operating.
And again, we've known about this for over 10 years, and yet three locations, another inquiry, isn't going to finish till 2029.
65 million quid spent on.
So it isn't going to start until 2029.
No, the findings won't be published until after.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
It's going to run along in the background, which means that probably the hearings, like statutory hearings, any prosecutions will only happen after.
The next generation.
Yes.
And then we know, I'll breeze through some of these.
We know that Muslims and Sikhs were engaging in gang violence in 1988 and 1989 because the Muslims had already started grooming Sikh girls and trying to forcibly convert them.
In 2001, a group called Real Khalifa distributed a letter to Muslim youths in school encouraging them to get Sikh girls drunk, have sex with them, and convert them to Islam.
This established the Sikh Awareness Society that Sikhs banded together as a community organization to fight back.
Of course, Any white British man who decided to do that with something like the EDL or, you know, trying to rescue his daughter from a kebab shop was immediately branded racist, unlike the Sikhs who could do this and not get called racist, you know.
Well, yeah, I mean, if white people try and organise, the state comes around them like a ton of bricks.
I suppose the advantage is being Sikh because you can actually fight back.
Yeah, exactly.
And then there's Barry Shearman, who is a Labour MP, a chair of the Children's Schools and Families Committee.
So we're seeing a sort of Children's Commissioner, Children's Minister, repeat record of failure here.
He said, and he told the BBC that, quote, Parliament knew that the children were being abused, quote, up and down the country.
We knew about that, but we didn't do enough about it.
Members of this House, many of us knew what was going on.
So Labour MPs just knew.
They've always known.
Right.
Again, Home Office Research Project in 2002 found 56 abused schoolgirls had links to just three Pakistani brothers.
Provided this to South Yorkshire Police, did absolutely nothing.
Same with Greater Manchester Police, who were warned by a mother in 2002 who later testified during a trial in 2012 and got successful conviction, Rochdale.
So, they've been warned again and again and again with specific names and locations and just did nothing because of.
I mean, I'm kind of glad that you are laying this out here as opposed to a national newspaper, but it's.
This is such a solid case.
It's amazing that no national newspaper took this story from you.
Yeah, Telegraph weren't bothered.
Weird.
Yeah.
Government also knew about the pattern, clearly, because they started funding the Coalition for Removal of Pimping in 2007, which then produced the 2008 BBC Panorama Drop documentary Teenage Sex for Sale, in which Pakistani men were justifying the abuse.
So again, the Home Office has consistently funded these ventures, but not done anything about it because they realise that their own civil servants and their own councillors and their own MPs and their own client voting bloc would be indicted and possibly thrown in prison or expelled en masse.
It just, genuinely, it just keeps going.
I will link this down in the description.
There was a film that was cancelled because they thought it might provide a boon to the BNP who are campaigning in 2014.
What's your Twitter handle so anyone watching can go and have a look?
It's at con underscore Tomlinson.
It's also available on Subset.
There's just.
Just a ridiculous extent to which this has gone on for the past 20 odd years, condoned by the government, 50 years known by national newspapers and the police.
And we're focusing on three locations, two haven't been announced.
We're appointing the people that did the cover up before to do the inquiry.
And by the way, the inquiry is not going to deliver its findings until all of these people are already probably voted out of office.
So, what's the solution here that we can all do?
I mean, we can keep raising alarm about this.
I can think of a solution, but I can't say it on YouTube.
Quite.
So we can keep raising awareness about the fact that the cover up's going on.
Until we actually take political power and have the ability to expel these people or imprison them, what do we do?
Well, so Rupert's obviously done his privately funded inquiry into the grooming gangs, the euphemism we have to use for YouTube.
He is holding the draft report in his hands.
I helped the barrister, Graham Smith, compile some of the research for this, along with a bunch of other people that have done quite a lot of reporting on it.
It's robust, it's harrowing.
I'm not shocked that Rupert came to the conclusion that every single other party is ineligible for governance, given What they've presided over and done nothing about.
And he has already promised to either use parliamentary privilege to disclose the identities of people that they don't think they can secure private prosecutions for, or use the money donated, a few hundred thousand pounds by the way, not the 65 million the government are spending on this to not actually prosecute anyone, to go after private prosecutions.
Iran Inquiry Moral Stains00:04:37
So, you know, actual tangible action.
When met with this news that Rupert had delivered the inquiry that had been promised by reform when Rupert was still in reform, what do you think Nigel Farage said?
I mean, I've wanted a national grooming gangs inquiry.
I've done everything I can to try and push the government into it.
The problem is, you know, any third party inquiry is a waste of space.
Waste of space, apparently.
The survivors involved, the women who have never got hearing before, the revelations that the girls have been trafficked overseas and sold as slaves in war zones, something that we expected but didn't have confirmation of.
Apparently, Farrell thinks it's a waste of space.
He's got such an incongruous relationship with the grooming gangs because he's supposed to be a right wing anti immigration.
Party.
And yet, whenever this issue comes up, he carries water for them as well.
I mean, he made up criminal allegations against Rupert Lowe because he was talking about the grooming gangs.
So, again, he's just trying to kick it into the long grass as well.
I mean, it's so incongruous with the image that he tries to present.
Despite having spoken out about it in 2014 and taken the flack then, suddenly he's decided it's now an issue that he wanted to complain about for a decade, much like the Home Office and the BBC and the police, but not actually do in a few hours.
You're saying the closer he gets to power, And the more the links with the deep state that he evolves, such as having MI5 check all his candidates, the closer to power he gets, the more establishment he becomes.
I think that proximity to power and the establishment contaminates you if you're willing to work with it, because this is the size of the moral stain they have on their conscience.
All of these cover ups, all of these abuses.
And so when you hear about the promises of the government's limited local inquiries to fully address the scope and the reasons for these crimes, Just don't believe them.
We're going to have to wait until we take power to actually do something about it.
In the meantime, don't take your eye off the ball and let yourself be gaslit again.
With that, on to the video comments, I suppose.
Yes.
Do we have some video comments?
Something.
Oh, do we have.
Oh, no, hang on.
We've got the.
Oh, the rumble rants as well.
We've got the rumble rants, right?
People are very generous.
Phallus Manus with another solid $5 says, That woman's like she's about to ruin a beloved Disney movie.
Oh, that must be.
Yes.
With her.
She looks like a Goomba from Mario.
She looks like that one in the one with Mermaid.
What, Ursula?
Yes.
Phallus Manus also says, Well, I'm in two minds here.
He said something derogatory about me, but he's also paid $5.
So, which is precisely how much you've paid this tie lady.
I still believe Ramadan only happens when Dan visits a ladyboy.
That's not very polite.
And O'Puck says for an orange at $10, not all of them, but enough to form a pattern.
And too many to let any of them stay.
Deport them all.
Yes, that was a hard line, that.
So, yeah, back to the video comments.
So, this is my final response about Iran.
To claim the current Iran war is only Israel's problem and the US should not get involved is incorrect, nor is saying that ordinary Iranians back the regime.
Many desperately want the Islamic government gone.
Iran has been sponsoring terrorist groups since the 1980s and used criminal proxies plus sleep agents to hunt dissidents in the US, UK, Australia, and Europe, as well as expanding their ideology.
They export terror and division.
Whilst criticizing Israel is understandable, the real threat we face is radical Islam in the West, not Zionist agendas.
Okay, so a few things with that.
You wouldn't face any threat from Iran if these people weren't here.
And again, remember, ladies and gentlemen, I don't think there's anyone who on the Lotus Seeds was sort of obsessively covering Islam as much as I did.
Not to slight any of my colleagues, I just really hate it.
If none of the people that were sympathetic to the Iranian regime were in our country, then Iran would not be our problem.
And so, actually, trying to go around and instigate regime change via aerial bombardment in Iran is not the thing to focus on.
It's extricating all of the people that then will commit.
Terror attacks, if that happens.
And also, it's just a logistical thing.
I mean, clearly, America's military might has been spent and they haven't been able to topple the regime in a significant enough way.
It's because a large amount of the people doing the revolutionary protests in early January were Iraqi Kurds who are stateless people, often backed by American and Israeli proxy movements because they're a useful ethnic group to weaponize against regimes that they don't like.
Regime Change Logistical Failures00:09:54
And I just don't think America has the military might to achieve the goal that you want, even if I don't like the Ayatollah, obviously.
Next.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Here we are, docked outside the village of La Rouen-Guyon in France, on our way to Normandy.
And yes, this was where Rommel set up his command.
Nice.
Interesting.
Like this.
Brilliant.
It'd be improved by a few hundred million Africans.
Also, like.
The previous comment as well.
Yeah, let's.
Hey, loadseaters.
I'm here today in Swantee.
Here's the castle right here, looking very impressive, but for some reason, it's next to a five, guys.
So here's a Welsh dragon.
Why is it dummy thick?
Ah!
Excellent.
Yeah, former Broken Omics guest.
What kind of women with that flag in the window?
It's women.
Oh, is there another one?
Go on to another one.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Here I am in Paris.
Hello.
Yes, that is a copy of the Statue of Liberty in Paris.
Hope you're having a better day, gentlemen.
They're the same terrible bloody poem at the bottom of it as well.
Michael, this is wonderful.
You should definitely go to Notre Dame and walk there by the River Zane.
Not with your phone out, though.
What?
Not with your phone out, though, it gets stolen.
Do you have any more videos?
Your phone can get stolen anywhere.
Oh.
Hello.
Is this AI?
This looks.
No, we actually filmed this this morning.
Stop staring at my cannons and drink the Kool Aid.
I see, by the way, people are asking me to do a follow up tomorrow.
I think that that's a good idea.
You know what?
In the year I was there, we've heard many things.
I really miss this place.
And then thank you, video commenters, for reminding me.
I think we need more quality AI cannonage.
That seems like a contradiction in terms, quality and AI.
Getting there.
I like the videos with, you know, fat people destroying things.
Have we got anything from the Necromancer?
Mecha Monday!
That's a yes.
It is only natural that Christianity would be hated by progressives.
It is competition.
Christianity presents a meta narrative that most closely reflects reality.
A notable example is that the majority of the new HIV/AIDS cases every year are from, you know, homosexuals.
The ancient people certainly knew something.
After all, they made civilization from dirt.
What have these progressives done?
On second thought, don't answer that.
Please tell me we have a video from Russian.
Please, Russian.
Come on.
Is that all of them?
That's all of them.
Operation Scatter.
And we've had another terrible rumble chat come in.
And just quickly on rumble chats to the people in the comments who are still going on about the previous rumble chant.
Dan is a rammer, not a rammee.
Dan does not get rammed, is what I'm saying.
So you can stop talking about that now.
Hello, Lotus.
Is that of context?
I have missed you.
Yes.
We've had Joe.
Oh, good God.
Joannes Hugenblumen.
It says Dan could have gone with Starmer, is about to make like a fetus and head out.
Huh.
Lovely.
Right.
Oh, comments.
Let's go to the.
Hello, Russian.
Comments of the people.
Let me see.
I've got to go to the bottom.
He's at the top.

Angela Rayner's biggest achievements are getting pregnant and never having a real job.

I think she took Harry's speech at the live event to heart.
You should be unemployment maxing.
Oh, yes.
You were on stage at that.
Were you just so concentrated?
I was a bit zoned out at that point because he was talking about the plight of poor people.
We've got some other ones.
Dan's Korean racism training montage says her CV makes it sound like Jen from the IT crowd.
Her skills probably include emails, computers, clicking, and double clicking.
Yes.
What about?
Do you want to do some of the.
Racist neighborhood.
Yes, the Bonsol bomber says that he supports the Neighborhood Watch Association.
Janvi says so the council assumes the anti crime signs will make black people uncomfortable.
When you're so progressive, you come around to being racist.
Lol.
Also, I definitely do want criminals to not feel welcome in my community.
Janvi is a voice of reason.
Thank you, Janvi.
And I'm reminded of the meme with Daenerys carried by the Dothraki.
This is precisely how progressives feel when they're talking about.
The so called oppressed.

In the meantime, the state of Tennessee has declared through law the violent force is permitted in the defense of property.

Diogenes Nuts.
I'm from Michigan, born and raised.
I can confirm any news of our state getting better has been largely exaggerated.
Nothing about this state's government is competent or effective.
Governor Whitlis has just cooked the numbers.
As I thought.
Yeah, it makes sense.
Um,.
Any discussion about my home state of living is a moot point as far as I'm concerned, so long as our roads have more holes than a town in Iraq, while having one of the largest road tax in the nation.
This crime is institutionalized, so I don't trust the institutions to handle the crime.

Does that make me a liberal?

Very quickly, just before we go to Connor's comments, can I just point out to the chat that all this.
I am seeing the chat, right?
All of this anti Dan chat that's going on.
I'm mentally logging your usernames as you do it.
So watch out.
He is very petty.
I also monitor the.
Chat situation.
So, those of you who are saying bad things about me, I know who you are.
Yeah, I just presume everyone says, know everything about you, blowing things about me at all times.
Most of them do.
Most of them do, but any that don't, I've got you.
Right.
Fantastic.
Sophie Liv, good to see you.
Man, it's good having Connor on for a visit.
He really does the research and have all the details ready.
I will need to go cry in a corner for the next hour, but it's extremely well researched.
Well, I thought I was engaging in so many frontier skirmishes with my weaponized autism that I'd come back to the imperial capital in Swindon.
Richard advocates for sending them all back.
I can't read the rest of your comment because we don't live in a free country.
And I've already had the police at my door recently, so I don't want it again.
Henry Ashman, it seems the only way Farage wants to interact with the grooming gangs is to weaponize them in green voting areas to rampage through the non sectarian green areas.
Yeah, we're going to be discussing that in the roundtable coming up.
But I'm of the opinion that I don't actually want, if acknowledging that all of these foreign men are, like, rapists, I don't want to weaponize them against the poor young women that have been misled into voting green, actually.
Well, all the green locations are basically either big cities that are full of Muslims already, in which case, places like a dissension centre is there because they're going to be inner city locations, or they're university towns.
So they're basically saying that a whole bunch of university girls who may or may not have voted green, a lot of them will, but a lot who won't, are just going to get raped.
And that's the sort of punishment, which is, well, we come to it in the round table anyway.
Yep, unfortunately.
And that's a random name.
My politics are whatever leads to justice being done and the West restored.
If that means millions go, the millions will go one way or another.
Quite.
I said this.
When I was reading on YouTube Boris Johnson's recent mail article, where he said that the global baby bust, but particularly in Britain, because of course it's white people that are having fewer babies, is actually a great bit of news.
And in order to recover from the Boris wave, we need a prolonged period of miscegenation.
And I was like, actually, no, exactly.
I know.
It's a pretty creepy thing to write, isn't it?
Yeah.
We're going to export millions of Indians and then force your women to breed with them.
No, actually, my politics or whatever just secures a future for my people, and I don't care about yours at this point.
Anything that advantages me and my family and my community and my nation is what I'm in support of.
Suck eggs otherwise.
Anyway.
Yes.
I am going to lead.
She hasn't paid any money, but I'm going to do a comment from Ratface Cutie Pie who says, Dan is a potent lion.
That is the sort of thing you should be talking about in the chat, okay?
You know, follow that example.
Anyway.
It really is weird, so many Thai viewers.
Yes.
So, anyway, it's goodbye for me and it's goodbye for them.
