Lewis Brackpool, Rebel News UK reporter, traces his shift from communism to conservatism post-Brexit, criticizing EU bureaucracy and Boris Johnson’s perceived betrayal of free speech. He mocks "Build Back Better" propaganda, vaccine passports, and 2030 petrol car bans, exposing lithium mining’s environmental toll and BLM’s radical agenda behind soccer kneeling. Comparing UK to Jacinda Ardern’s New Zealand and Biden’s drone strike inaction, he warns of global tyranny while defending British slang like "salad cream" and Austin Powers’ irreverence.

Turn off the stupid Carnation Street and the BBC and do some research.
Our lives are being destroyed by the very people we are paying to govern us and they're not.
You know, it could go one of two ways.
You know, if there's enough people, we will get rid of this regime and we'll have our freedoms back.
Louis Brackpool is the Rebel News UK reporter.
You can find him at protests, power plants, wherever you may see him on the London streets, and he's usually wearing a suit while he does it.
Lewis, thanks for joining me.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm very well, man.
Thank you very much for having me on.
No problem.
I wanted to ask you, how'd you get into reporting?
How did you get started with Rebel News?
Is it as simple as I think it might be, or is it a long winding road?
I thought it was going to be a long winding road, if I'm totally honest, but it wasn't.
I've built myself up on YouTube for about a year.
I had an unfortunate job cancellation and redundancy from my previous job, which led me to be free in freedom of speech and everything because I couldn't speak my mind as a conservative.
You almost have to come out as a conservative, right?
And so I started my journey as a YouTuber for a year, speaking about subjects and exploring subjects that you wouldn't usually talk about normally over the dinner table.
And I followed Rebel News for years since the days of many other contributors to Rebel in the UK and obviously over in Canada.
Naviya Mani as well, still going strong.
So I applied as a reporter.
I thought I'd shoot my shit, as they will.
Oh, that's the end of the sentence.
Okay.
I wasn't sure where that was going.
Did you submit a video?
Did you have a trial video?
How did that come about when you got hired?
Yeah, I was covering my first ever anti-lockdown protest.
And I was asked to submit a video in the style of Rebel News.
And it was literally me going around asking if you date someone who's vaccinated was my submission.
First Brexit Protester's Tale00:07:29
And now here we are.
I'm annoying you every single day at 5 p.m.
At what point did you get involved in politics?
Were you always political?
Obviously, it's not always the most polite thing to do in English culture is to talk politics at dinner, as you would say.
But did you get involved in politics at a younger age?
At what point did you say, you know, I have to start saying things or else I'm going to go mad here?
So believe it or not, I was a communist back in the days of being at school and high school.
Believe it or not, I believed all that nonsense.
And yeah, I studied politics.
I unfortunately failed it.
And I think there's a reason for that, being communist.
And when Brexit happened, that's when politics really started to take my attention.
And yeah, the Brexit deal really did divide the nation.
And I noticed my first ever confrontation with other peers when Brexit would come about as the subject.
Just retaining that sovereignty, not going through Belgium or Brussels to pass laws through.
And it really woke me up.
And then Trump happened.
And that really got things going.
And I realized that actually I have more in common with the right and conservatism than I originally thought.
So very interesting stuff.
Obviously, Trump was for the presidency.
I always sort of thought the Brexit was sort of an odd thing for everything to be made a stand on.
I mean, when they were joining the European Union, I don't know for sure, but I doubt there is this huge division of people down the middle of politics.
And from what I remember as a kid, as a teenager, the selling point for the European Union is, well, you get to travel across international borders without having to go through customs and everything.
And that was always the big thing that young people wanted this.
That's what they sold them all.
I always thought it was a little bit weird that that would be, that would turn out to be the thing that broke the camel's back, so to speak, in terms of politics and separate everybody.
I guess it had to be something around that time period.
But why do you think that this became such a divisive topic amongst people in the UK?
That's such a good question.
I don't know.
Maybe the media had a part of it.
Maybe it was the politicians.
I mean, all it does is line the pockets with them being in the EU.
That was their main concern.
And people like Nigel Farage and the United Kingdom Independence Party, who really, really was pushing for independence, really showed that other side.
It showed that the EU were just this tyrannical bureaucratic board of people just ordering other countries about.
And I think they wanted to even start their own army at one point.
And when you dig to the real deeper intention of the EU and the EU Commission, you do find some really dark things.
And yeah, I didn't like that.
Mostly what sold it for me was the fact that we couldn't have entire sovereignty of our own nation.
And we had to pass almost like a law check through the EU body.
And it just didn't make sense to me.
Why are we going through the EU to even pass our own laws in our own country?
It didn't make sense.
So for me, it was a no-brainer.
I can't explain the divisiveness.
I think people just latch onto anything they read online most of the time, don't they?
We'll blame you instead then.
When Boris Johnson got elected, it was a bit of a landslide from what I recall.
Did you think everything was starting to finally turn around in a better direction?
Forget left or right, but just a more sane direction.
Because obviously the UK has always been a little bit more, you know, rainbow police squads and sending Twitter messages out that we're coming to stop you for your Facebook posts.
Australia's far surpassed you guys at this point.
But when Boris got elected in such a strong majority, did you sort of think things were going to go in a different direction?
Yeah, I did.
I voted for Boris as well.
I'm starting, well, do I regret that vote?
It's hard to say.
But when I did vote for Boris, I did have a lot of confidence.
You know, his strong message was he was going to get Brexit done and turn things around and make this country a better place.
And we were hoping he would do something in terms of us free speech laws that has been going about since the Tony Blair days.
So we were hoping with this majority, he might be able to jump in and sort out our laws with that.
But nothing has ever been done.
In fact, they're making it even worse.
They've cracked down on protests.
They're cracking down now on the online hate speech bill or something like that, where they want to go after people with anonymity on sites such as Twitter.
And they're really taking into account mean tweets more than actual policing.
So yeah, unfortunately, I thought it was going to be greener, but turns out it was the Green Party that I did vote for.
Yeah, and speaking of the protests, you mentioned on a live stream we did about what I think is the saddest slash funniest protest cause.
It's so British and so English.
I just want to show some of the video and then I want you to describe it to the audience.
Okay, so we have somebody gluing their hand to the pavement.
We have another person gluing their face to the pavement.
Tell the audience what this is in protest of, please.
This is in protest of the insulation of houses in Britain.
Government installation of insulation, which is mental.
It's mental.
It doesn't make sense.
And on top of that, I think they're worried about the ice caps melting in the Arctic.
So they're gluing their faces to the M25.
Totally related.
What's the reason they're demanding this?
First of all, why is there no insulation in England?
Are houses just so old that there's no insulation?
Because that seems like a normal thing.
But also, what are their demands?
I think their demands is to, well, it's to tackle the climate.
They believe that not enough is being done to tackle climate change.
They believe that we need to invest more in greener solutions, which they're not sustainable, in my honest opinion, I don't think.
When the government already are, I think, putting their budget into, I think, a £1 million spending in insulation for homes in Britain anyway.
So I'm not quite sure what exactly they're protesting about anyway, because they're on the establishment side, from what we can see.
Boris is really pushing for green policies ever since his missus got into power with him.
So it's quite an interesting thing to see.
Being honest, I don't quite know what they're protesting about anymore.
I'm looking forward to Reshingle England, something like that.
DrivewaypavingFirst.com.
Is this sort of a sign that there's not much left to protest about?
I mean, this past year, year and a half has been, I think, and I hate to say terms of far left or far right, but somebody who's a bit of an authoritarian leftist, I think it's been a bit of their dream.
Push for Green Policies00:16:20
They get to tell people what to do.
They get to yell in their face.
They get to kick people out of places on their whim.
What sort of things are left here to protest about if we're going for insulation at this point, I wonder?
I think that there are still some things to protest about.
I mean, in terms if you want to talk about vaccination mandates, obviously what's going on there, vaccine passports and other COVID-related issues, I believe there's definitely a reason to get out in the streets for that.
In terms of climate change, well, making a good visit to the old Extinction Rebellion in Glasgow next week.
So we're going to see what they have to say.
So I can't really speak on their behalf for now because I'm quite keen to see what they think.
Yeah, there are many things still, I believe, to be voicing concern over.
But to glue yourself to the middle of the road, I don't think is going to get the message across.
Yeah, there's going to be some terrible injuries if people keep gluing their face to hot asphalt.
I'm just guessing.
I'm no medical technician, but we're going to get some skin graphs from that, I think.
I want to move on to soccer players.
Don't laugh at that, Lewis.
It's not funny.
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid.
Soccer players kneeling in England is still, sorry, football players is still a thing.
I mean, I think you guys are a couple years behind on this.
The national team did it at the last international tournament.
They get booed at the Euros, got booed.
They're facing off against other countries who don't understand what's going on.
Now, not to say that there isn't racism in soccer.
There's been for a long time, but I just want to show some of the players defending it and a couple of players that are opposing it.
I mean, we've faced backlash or criticism or opposing views on taking the knee before, and we've stood collectively quite passionately, quite passionately together.
And that's something that I think carries us as a squad.
I feel like taking the knee is degrading stuff because growing up, my parents just let me know that I should be proud to be black no matter what.
And I just feel like we should just stand to it.
My support for what it is that we're trying to achieve is absolute.
But I do not support Black Lives Matter as an institution, as an organization.
So I believe there we have a player that played on the national team, Mings.
Then you've got Wilfried Zaha, who's actually from the Ivory Coast, and then one of the lower league English players there.
He's against it for BLM reasons.
Why the kneeling, Lewis?
Is there agreed upon reason why all the players are kneeling?
I think it's just to protest racism just in general, isn't it?
Yeah, I mean, we've had kick it out for a number of years because yes, there is racism.
Well, there's racism in most things nowadays.
It's a shame, but unfortunately, it is what it is.
And, you know, to tackle that and raise awareness, we had kick it out in football to show that.
And nobody ever booed that.
Nobody was ever against that.
The problem we have with this is the fact the knee represents an organization that wants to defund the police, abolish prisons, and disrupt the family unit and end capitalism.
Yeah.
So the people that understand that have a reason to boo and say, we don't want this.
We don't want politics in sport.
We want to sit down, watch a football match without politics interjecting within our own, the comfort of our own living room.
You know, we're constantly seeing politics all around work on social media and everything.
And we just want to sit down, just enjoy a football match without any of it.
But the problem is with this, there's a lot of pressure with the media and, of course, the FA or FIFA saying to players that they need to take the knee in order to show this solidarity.
Because if you're against it, you're against black people or you're against you're for racism, which is a weird flex.
Do you think it's just a generic virtue signal now?
Because it's come and gone in North America now.
There was a specific reason that Colin Kaepernick gave police brutality and unjust government there.
It seems like a weird thing to co-op when it's got a specific American problem tied to it.
And now you've got British people.
I think the only people that were killed by police in England were terrorists on the bridge.
It just seems like now it's become an empty gesture in the UK, which is just thing you have to conform and do it, or else you're going to be seen as a bad person.
Do you think that's true?
Absolutely.
Yeah, I can agree with you.
I think it's almost like we're trying to out-woke the Americans, which I don't know.
I don't know who's going to win out of that because we're looking pretty woke.
I mean, if you go down Brighton, you'll understand why.
But in terms of that, it's just pressure.
I think it's just media pressure.
And I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, Harry Kane's kneeling, so therefore he's a Marxist.
That's mental.
Like, that's just mental.
So there is that you've got to look into it a little bit more.
They're obviously having some pressure.
They're not, of course, going to boycott Qatar for all the modern day slavers who have died creating the stadium for them to play in.
They're not going to be talking about that.
And I think commentators, sports commentators have outright refused to even speak about it.
So it does show hypocrisy there.
So it's a type of narrative that the managers, the FA, FIFA, whoever. are really trying to push towards because it's a money-making scheme as well.
It generates money.
For sure.
And I don't think anybody would argue that the message has been, you know, lost or anything like that in America.
They've moved on to like the NBA, for example, painted Black Lives Matter on their courts, wore it on their jerseys, on their shoes, and they're not even kneeling anymore.
So it seems like it's just like a thing, like, you do this or else we're going to say you're a bad person.
I want to move back to Boris Johnson.
Have you been seeing these really weird build back better videos of his, the fish and chips video?
I can't think of all of them off the top of my head.
There's been so many.
That one sticks out in my mind.
What about this whole narrative is conservative?
How are they explaining?
Like, he's come out and said, like, we need a more feminine future.
Really weird things.
How do you explain this to somebody who's not familiar with maybe his weirdness?
It's very difficult to explain.
Yes, I have seen build back batter, build back butter, build back whatever he's been going on about, really pushing that strange dystopian message out.
Yeah.
Is there a butter video?
There is.
He's scraping butter on toast saying build back butter.
It's very cringe.
I actually, I felt a little bit sick.
I might have to stop, actually, because I feel a bit ill.
No, I think, how do I explain that to someone?
Well, Conservative Party over in the UK are not conservative anymore.
They're actually more liberal.
There's been a decline in conservatism within the UK.
Their principles have slowly dwindled.
And you can only just look at their policymaking to even see this.
I mean, what is it you mentioned?
I actually failed to see that one.
Was it about Boris saying that the future is more feminine?
What was he going on about?
I believe he said we need to build back better and perhaps in an even more feminine way.
Yes.
No, I do remember that.
I do remember that.
That was quite, yeah, that was last year, I believe.
Was it last year?
It couldn't have been too far.
Like a few months ago.
I do remember that.
Up to date on all of his memes.
Sorry, I've got the memory like Joe Biden, mate, so apologies.
Yeah, I don't know what he's going on about.
I'm just, I'm actually quite confused to where the Conservative Party has fallen to.
But like I said, it's just an uptake in liberalism now.
And they call themselves liberals, but they're adding all of this dystopian, horrible legislation where you're going to see a two-tier society with the vaxed and unvaxxed.
So there's so many avenues to go through, but majority of their policies are turning very liberal.
Yeah, I think the windows really shift there.
They had a big push towards, and I mean everywhere, big push towards conservative parties, especially in Canada.
It was the majority of provinces were run by conservatives and all of a sudden now the conservative is where the liberals were and the liberals are where the far left is and there's not really anything to the right of the major parties anymore.
I want to combine Joe Biden and the green stuff and I want to show a clip of your green initiative video outside of the power plants.
Wonderful imagery.
You'll be hired by the power plant soon, I'm sure, after we show this clip.
Is that there would be less harmful emissions being pushed into the atmosphere.
So traditionally, coal would be extracted from the ground and burnt here to produce energy.
So now with the push for green and cleaner alternatives, the power station has come up with the idea of burning green biomass.
This green alternative has come at a price for the taxpayers.
Drax power station has received hundreds of millions in government subsidies.
We constantly hear from politicians about carbon targets, climate change, and of course we need to do better.
And all this climate alarmism from activists and Greta Tunberg.
But in the reality of it, in the UK, the government is forcing many into a fuel poverty.
Whilst over in China, their way out of an energy crisis is to produce more coal power stations.
It's quite obvious to see that China does not have the same eco-fanaticism that we do here in the West.
Now, in the UK, fuel and energy prices are starting to spike.
So the public are going to be asking at what cost does the green revolution come?
Okay, a lot of people don't realize the footprint I think that these programs tend to have.
Some of them that I wrote down are like paper straws, boxed water, even like electric car batteries.
What do you think is powering those things?
How do you think they're being charged?
So what do you think?
And this is a serious question for ones, Lewis.
What do you think should be the balancing act of, you know, pollution reduction versus tax increases and cost increases for the average person?
Do you think the Conservative Party should be spearheading this thing?
Because that's what it seems.
Liberal Party and Green Parties don't actually do anything.
It seems to be the Conservative parties that actually want to do things, even if it's for means that you and I might not agree with.
What do you think is the perfect balance there?
I don't see why we should go nuclear.
I think that's a cleaner and more efficient energy.
And I believe that that's a way that can be costly and not too hard hitting on the taxpayer and still reduce emissions.
Look, I'm no eco-warrior.
I think you've worked that out.
And I think I said that in my video as well.
And, you know, pushing this agenda of banning petrol and diesel by 2030 is just absolute rubbish.
And trying to get everyone onto electric cars and go on to that when not actually realizing that to power these electric cars, you've got to build the batteries and that takes out carbon emissions.
It's all a big, you know, circle.
And, you know, your phone distributes about 1.225 million tons or something of 1.2 million tons of carbon emissions.
So what are we going to do?
Start banning phones.
You know, how far are they going to start pushing it?
So I don't know.
I think the balance would be nuclear is probably a better way of putting it.
But yeah, this idea of pushing towards that and so much more increasing the budget of insulation.
And I think they wanted to power a town just with hydrogen as well.
So we'll see how that works.
So I don't know.
I think it's aqua cars and all that.
You said as well, this was a serious question.
I've turned it round.
Yeah.
There's no getting through to you, I guess, is the problem we're running into here.
No, I tend to agree.
It's like we want to build back better.
We want to turn everything green until it becomes an inconvenience to me.
You see all the protesters with iPhones.
Well, how do you think makes that?
Where do you think the lithium is mined in Africa?
It's not on some grandiose scale where the workers have risen up and fought for an amazing wage with their landlords bending over backwards to serve them.
It's not the world that they want to paint it.
And as soon as it comes to home, well, they don't really want to do it.
It's the same thing sort of like Justin Trudeau here.
I always like to go back to his relationship with the native Canadian population, whereas he's the loving feminist prime minister, but he can't get you running water, even though he cares about every minority.
But to hell with your water supply, I'll come and cry with you, but then I'll invent a holiday to reconcile with you, but also go on vacation.
And Justin Trudeau now has been vacationing so much, Lewis, that he's developing like sunspot freckles on his face, which you don't usually just develop at the age of 50, however old he is.
He's just been out in the sun so much the last summer that he's got freckles on his face now.
It's pretty fascinating to watch.
Did Boris run on any of this green energy stuff?
Was this in his platform?
Because I know the Conservatives here, even though they lost, they had a very strategic, you know, climate change platform.
It was not carbon tax, but it actually was.
But I just want to know if you recall Boris running on anything to do with green energy and climate change.
To do with climate change and environmentalism, I believe they wanted to plant a good amount of trees.
I think that was one of their big policies.
Very neat in any two of them.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And, you know, I think Farage is pushing this as well, Nigel Farage.
And, you know, I don't see a problem with that at all.
I think Labour tried to push this idea of planting trees, but they'd done a number so ridiculous that it was just laughed at.
So at least when they came, when they put out their manifesto, the Conservative Party, they actually gave a reasonable number and it was one that you could go, okay, you know, we're on board with that.
It's not too costly and it helps.
So, you know, great.
I think it's until Carrie came in, his misses has really started to warp the party and start to push out all this mental radical green policies.
So I think that's where we're starting to see the shift.
And we're all a bit, when she came into the cabinet, we did start to see the shift and we were all a bit concerned on where this is going.
And it's just proof that it was going the bad way.
Why do you think there's such a demand for the, for lack of a better term, like the platitude policies?
Do you think that they think this is the only way that they can win?
I'm talking about conservative parties across the world.
They seem to always want to inject the stuff that being a grassroots supporter, you may not think that has anywhere or anything to do with what you think they believe in.
Klaus Schwab's Climate Vision00:02:17
Do you think they're sort of forced to inject this to try to attempt to steal votes from the other side or please the Twitter crowd?
Where do you think this comes from?
Well, the dominant narrative now is climate change.
Well, it will be after COVID.
And they've already made plans to, of course, push this idea out.
The media are on board.
The corporations are on board with it.
So it's only fitting that the politicians are on board with it too.
So this is the main reason why we're going to start seeing a lot more to do with climate change as well dominating the narratives.
I have a prediction that we're even going to be looking at climate lockdowns and possibly reduction in what you eat, whether it be red meat or I think MasterCard of even wanting to bring out a card that could potentially make a point system.
So if you go over your admissions, it stops you from spending that amount.
So they're all tied in with each other, I believe.
So we are going to see this big, big narrative being spewed out by the media, by the politicians, by the Conservative Party as well, who have the majority here in the UK and around the world as well, other Conservative parties too.
So I think that that's what we're going to be seeing.
It sounds like you've been reading yourself some Klaus Schwab, some build back better stuff.
Writer Dave in the back is really pushing the Klaus Schwab book.
He says he reads it in a German accent.
But that's MasterCard, one of the people that were involved in that, the Build Back Better plan with a bunch of the world leaders and a bunch of the other large multinational corporations.
So I predict pretty much the similar thing.
You know, every three months they say, maybe we should eat the bugs now.
Is it time to start eating the bugs?
You guys considered cricket protein.
And then they've got that post from a couple of years ago.
I think it was, we need to start reducing our consumption of beef.
That should become a treat, you guys.
Only the cool people should.
That seems to be the direction they're going, I think, Lewis, is the ultra-elite class where we can afford to drive cars.
We can afford to eat beef and fly on planes.
And unless you're rich, you can't afford the taxes that come with it.
Another person that's on that Build Back Better list is the New Zealand Prime Minister.
Ultra-Elite Class Segregation00:02:41
She's really something else.
She used to be part of the socialist group.
She called herself a democratic socialist, which I think is a made-up term.
She had this really strange video that I want to show of her basically agreeing that she's segregating people.
So let's see that.
So you basically see it.
This is going to be like, well, it's almost like you probably don't see like this, the two different classes of people.
If you're vaccinated or if you're unvaccinated, you have all these rights if you are vaccinated.
That is what it is.
So yep.
Yep.
Can you describe as you were previously hoping not to have to do that, I guess, when we still looked like we could maintain elimination across the whole country, I guess that has now changed because...
I think it was less because necessarily of the elimination determining that and more because we, of course, maintained and actually we have managed very high vaccination rates generally without the use of certificates.
So with her really, she just looks so Australian Kiwi.
Like she just looks like a caricature of it.
And it's really weird as we see her being asked if this is creating, you know, segregation of two-tier society.
She's like, yes, that's exactly what it is.
My question to you is, have they become so confident in their platform and their support that they basically see nothing wrong with segregation of their society?
They are laughing at us, mate.
They're laughing at me and you and the ordinary working man on this.
They are literally, they're flaunting it now.
It's not a matter of conspiracy anymore.
We all thought that it could possibly make a two-tier system.
It is.
We all know it was going to.
And now they're laughing at us.
And she's just doing that.
Feminists not so long ago were pouring their heart out on social media saying that she's a strong, independent woman who can lead a country into greatness.
And then now it's really shown what she really is.
And that's some radical tyrant that wants to take, that takes pleasure in taking away people who are unvaccinated, their freedoms, just because.
I mean, we've been seeing her radical plans for locking down the entire country over, I think it was one or two cases, which is nuts.
So, yeah, what can I say about her?
She's just a lovely person.
And I'd love to meet her.
She'd be lovely.
She famously, almost George Bush, like made the declaration that COVID was defeated and they had extremely harsh lockdowns.
And they were all just being like, see, it works.
People still say that about Australia.
See, it works.
Only a couple of hundred people died.
And then the cases keep going up and the infection rates keep going up.
And they're just like, well, we can't back off now.
We already promised people, our population, that that was going to be the solution.
Unyielding Promises00:05:34
So we can't say it isn't.
And that's a big problem I'm seeing at most, whether it's on purpose or whether it's just people not willing to admit that they're wrong.
That's what I'm seeing from the politicians is there's no accountability in any genre.
And something I was listening to recently was talking about, if you recall, Joe Biden, they missled, I don't remember which type of missile it was.
I think a drone strike, a bunch of children in the Middle East.
And nobody was held responsible for that.
Nobody was fired.
There's just no level of culpability or responsibility in the government.
Nobody ever gets fired for anything.
And it's really weird because you have to keep building upon the lie that they've done nothing wrong.
And I see that a lot in Canada, specifically our province.
They just pretend like nothing bad has happened.
So they just keep moving forward and forward.
And for those of the population who don't pay attention to the news or anything, they can look at somebody and say, I don't think there's anything that they've done wrong, really, or else the news would have reported on it.
It's the same thing that happened with Obama.
They called it a scandal-free administration, which of course wasn't the case.
But that's just my two cents, Lewis.
You can cut that for your own channel if you.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you.
I want to close with British questions.
That's the segment I'm most looking forward to.
It's in capital letters on the bottom of my card.
Something I actually saw a guy post earlier today that I wrote down.
Salad cream.
What is that?
Just please explain.
It's cream that goes in your salad, mate.
Is it salad dressing?
Is that the same thing?
Same thing.
Yes.
Pretty much the same thing.
Why?
Stupid.
Heinz makes it.
This is the picture I saw.
Heinz is not supposed to make salad dressing.
It's cream.
Not all salad dressings are made from cream.
So what happens when you've got like French dressing or Russian dressing?
What was it called then?
You sound like a liberal, mate.
I want to know where these English people think that they can just call anything whatever they want, and then just everybody has to go with it.
Well, you know, what can I say?
It's a topsy-turvy one because, you know, we helped out quite greatly.
So, but I'm not going to go there.
The term geezer, of course, in America and Canada, it means an old person.
What does it mean there?
Geezer is like one of the good lads.
Like, oh, yeah, he's a top geezer.
He's just a guy that's like, you know, really cool.
He's a good geezer.
What is it?
That is a good question.
I think it's cockney rhyming slang.
Or just cockney.
It's a whole episode on its own.
Just coming up with phrases because they rhyme.
This is angering.
Lewis, I'm sorry.
Oh, man.
Come to England.
We'll go to the pub, mate.
We'll go and have some beers, right?
And we'll just recite a verse off, right?
You'll be happy as ever.
Two more to go.
Russell Brand's t-shirts.
They're circular.
They come down to about here.
I know he wants to show his chest hair.
Is this a thing that people do, or is that just his edgy personality?
No, it's just Russell Brand and his crusty, hippie following.
That's all it is.
He's turned the corner on a lot of subjects.
He's actually pretty reasonable now.
Yeah, he's all right on some things.
He's still got a bit way to go with capitalism, though.
He thinks that cronyism and capitalism is the same thing when, you know, and then you question him about it and say, can you name a better system?
And he goes, oh, no, I'm not going to.
I'm not going to make up some utopia and give you a better solution.
Okay, well, you go and sit in the corner, mate, with your elite friends.
Okay, last one.
What do the British think of Austin Powers?
Was it a sad time?
Was it an angry time?
Are you okay with being parodied that way?
We love Austin Powers.
Austin Powers is great.
I've watched all of them.
They're great.
They're very funny.
We don't take offense.
We love the banter over here.
We think it's great.
So more of that.
It's absolutely fine.
As long as we can do it bat, no problem.
No, you can't do that.
I'm sorry.
This is fine in Canada.
We don't want to offend anybody.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we've got hate crime bills as well, mate, so don't worry.
Are you going to dress up for a Halloween?
I think I'm the only one here who wants to.
I want to, but what I'm going to do is just sit on my own on the computer.
Like, I've got no mates.
So, like, what can I do?
Well, that's sad.
Take something, go through the catalog of Prince Harry and William's costumes.
Anything you can go there can't be offensive.
I don't think the princes would do that.
I think they're respectable young men.
Very bold for a young man, William is, but still.
Poor guy.
He needs surgery.
He's got all that money and he doesn't use on surgery, does he?
Prince Harry needs to, or Prince William, I think it is, right?
He needs to hook up with Wayne Rooney for the hairline coverage.
Bless you, Wayne Rooney.
I'm sorry to bring you in this.
Anything else you want to say before we let you go, Lewis?
It's been a good time.
I always enjoy speaking to you.
Thank you.
Yeah, keep resisting what's been going on with this tyrannical measures all around the world at the minute with vaccine passports.
And remember that you are still a free individual and you shouldn't let tyrants win.
