	You are a wonder.
	You are awakening.
	You are therefore an awakening wonder.
	Are you joining us on YouTube or have you joined us on Rumble yet?
	That bastion, that citadel, that oasis of free speech.
	There's a link in the description because we'll do the first 20 minutes over here where we're going to be talking about the coronation of King Charles.
	King Charles.
	Our king.
	Did you do the pledge, Gal?
	Of course I did, yeah.
	I nearly done the pledge.
	No, I didn't do the pledge.
	I won't do the pledge.
	I don't like doing stuff like that and on a Bible type things.
	We'll be talking about that and also when we flick over being exclusively on Rumble, right, what You know, we're going to talk about Julian Assange, still in Belmarsh Prison, who's written a letter to King Charles talking about free speech.
	And we're going to be talking about what five things are right wing now that surprise you.
	It's astonishing just to see how the taxonomies around politics and the categorization of politics has altered.
	We're talking about pageantry and ceremony.
	And I'm going to offer you, I'm going to be offering you a Foucaultian dialectic, girl.
	I love it when that happens.
	Very relatable.
	I'm a man of the people.
	I'm a man, are you right?
	I'm like you.
	We're all like each other.
	I'm going to offer you a Foucauldian dialectic.
	Is all ceremony and pageantry about violence?
	That might seem like a bit highfalutin at first, but what is it about really?
	Did you notice how much military presence there were?
	And really, How do you get yourself a royal family?
	Like, if you're starting now and you're like, I'd love a royal family in a few years.
	Well, here's what you have to do.
	Nick some countries.
	There's no other... Nick countries and impoverish the people in that country.
	I'm not even anti-royal.
	I've got tea towels and paraphernalia at my house.
	Royal family tea towels.
	Of course I have.
	My nan, she loved the royals.
	Biscuit tins with them on and everything.
	Even that one.
	I've even got a mug with... Yeah, they're all on there.
	So, like, it's not like I'm anti-royal, even though the mainstream media did a right, like, snidey little anti-royal story on me, because I'd said, why are we, we're like hostages, why are we still funding all this stuff?
	Do you think it's right with all the energy crisis?
	In fact, I'll offer you this question in the same way I did it before.
	Do you think that we should be funding expensive pageantry, whether it's inaugural events or stuff like in your country, America, or stuff in our country, these kind of ceremonies, when there's an energy crisis, when there's a cost-of-living crisis, when there's a food crisis?
	Or do you think that we could be redirecting these resources?
	Sometimes I think this about socialism.
	I think, like, people go, oh, we can't be funding healthcare and hospitals and schools and whatnot.
	But of course, you're subsidizing the military-industrial complex.
	Right now.
	We're subsidising energy companies right now.
	So we're not discussing whether or not there will be redistribution of wealth.
	We're simply discussing where it will be redistributed to.
	In favour of ordinary people or against the interests of ordinary people.
	Go on.
	I'm sure the mainstream are watching this show.
	Oh, the mainstream are watching because when they go on the attack it means they're watching.
	There you go.
	Yeah, yeah, that's good because there's only one thing worse than being talked about and that's being told to Well, are these words sayable while we're on YouTube, Gareth?
	I'm talking about the first story and the Camilla.
	Wipe your V word.
	I mean, that's a medical word, isn't it?
	Are you allowed to say that?
	Sure.
	Who knows?
	In part of the ceremony, here's one of the things, like, remember, in 20 minutes this is going to get double clever.
	Foucaultian dialectics, facts, figures, all that stuff.
	But for now, we're going to be talking about, like, there's this weird bit of the ceremony.
	Have you seen it yet, you guys?
	By the way, join us on, if you join us on rumbles, on rambles, join us over on the rambles.
	Give us a mumble before you take a tumble.
	If you join us on Rumble, you can become a member of our locals community.
	They're on there now chatting.
	Lady Midnight, hello, hello.
	Lady Grey, 312.
	You can join the conversation on there.
	It's a beautiful little community of joyous, free-thinking radicals resolving their own issues there in conversation right now.
	Tell us, what do you think they're saying in this ceremony?
	Is it, wipe that V-word?
	Sure.
	It's a medical word.
	It's a medical word.
	If I write it down, will it be censored?
	Because you have to be so careful on YouTube.
	It's the opposite of a winky-woo.
	Are they opposites, though, Gal?
	Well, no, I guess... Is a winky-woo and a V-word, are they opposites?
	I guess not.
	Are they?
	I don't know if they are opposites.
	Maybe you're accepting a V... Oh, you think this is better, do you?
	Just writing it on a page?
	Are they saying, wipe your that?
	Right.
	Wipe your that!
	Wipe your that!
	Have a look.
	Why that vagina, Camilla?
	Couldn't sound any more like, Why that vagina, Camilla?
	I'm sorry I said it now.
	Sorry, it was irresistible.
	I knew it. Because he said it and I said it.
	I shouldn't have included that.
	The big PR campaign for two years, trying to get everyone to forget about Princess Diana and Laika, and then the minute they get a marching band, they go, Wipe that vagina, Camilla!
	Oh, what was the point?
	We paid a fortune to Freud PR, and if only we could sing this!
	They didn't do that in rehearsals!
	Wait a minute, I don't remember that song!
	What's really interesting, of course, about all ceremony and pageantry is that it's part of the installation and ongoing instantiation of power.
	But we talk continually, don't we, on this channel about decentralization.
	The decentralization of power is one of the things we continually talk about.
	Now, the Royal Family are aware that they are not liked in the city of Liverpool.
	That is why they used this song, famous and popular in Liverpool, the anthem, in case you're not a fan of British football, and if you're not, you should be, the anthem of the great football club of Liverpool, all respect to Everton fans, you're all great as far as I'm concerned, their anthem is You'll Never Walk Alone.
	Now, part of the pageantry, part of the ceremony was they did a cover of You'll Never Walk Alone.
	The people of Liverpool hate The British establishment, because of a disaster, Hillsborough, where 97 people were unlawfully killed, because they feel that they've been ostracised, alienated and ignored by the establishment.
	And really, like many of the working communities of the North of England, they're aware of how the South and Southern-based establishments have rinsed them and turned them over.
	And you know we're always arguing for decentralised power.
	Would Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, even Birmingham, Nottingham, would these great cities be better...
	With more autonomy, more devolution, how do we benefit from centralisation?
	You are a federal nation.
	Would you like to see more federalised, localised power?
	More food grown in your own community?
	More democracy?
	More of your energy problems solved directly?
	That that should be the function and the focus of an organised society?
	Well anyway, have a look at this.
	They use You'll Never Walk Alone at As part of the ceremony, but you've got to see the riposte of Liverpool fans.
	It's not a riposte, actually, because I'd already done it.
	But you've got to see the genuine feelings of Liverpool fans when they are forced to listen to the national anthem of their football match.
	Let's start with the appropriation of a piece of Liverpool culture, even though it's a pop song as well.
	Have a look at how this thing went over.
	We'll hold in your heart as you never once
	have loved in all of time.
	You couldn't schedule that and not know what it means to the people of Liverpool.
	You couldn't accidentally do that.
	It's a deliberate choice so that some people that are in Liverpool or connected to Liverpool go, oh, they did a lovely job of your Never Walk Alone.
	Well, look at the Liverpool... Guys, guys, guys, steady.
	Look at the Liverpool fans.
	Look at how they respond when the national anthem is played for their Premier League match against Brentford.
	Check it.
	Half the coronation, every football match, they played the national anthem.
	That's just, that's a pretty ardent disapproval, I would say.
	It's interesting to watch the players.
	I think a couple of them are, well, it's only Trent, English out of them, Andy Robertson, Scottish, like so, but you can see Spostar sing along.
	Kurt Jones, I think, over there.
	Kurt Jones, who's front of frame.
	Like, traditionally, they sing along, but look, hardly any of them are singing.
	Check it.
	Henderson, English, obviously.
	Yeah, he's singing.
	Trent, that's not singing, is it?
	That's lip-licking.
	Mo Salah, he's Egyptian, Suez Canal, he got no love lost for the British Empire.
	So it's interesting, isn't it, to sort of see how these things play out, how the pageantry is in some ways disconnected, and even old little old Russ here, I said a thing like, we must be crazy to fund this, when they reported on it in the Independent newspaper, curiously a newspaper called the Independent is Up to 50% owned by Saudi Arabian interests and some people say that you oughtn't have a Saudi Arabian owned newspaper presenting itself as English because it's going to bias their reporting.
	State connections as well.
	Strong state connections.
	So you know remember when your president Joe Biden said we'll make Saudi Arabia a pariah only to do a bunch of arms deals and oil deals and fist bumps and all that stuff?
	Really what I'm saying is power takes place invisibly behind the distractions of these cultural artifacts that they bombard us with like a kind of kaleidoscope and nonsense to keep us distracted.
	That's sort of what I'm saying.
	Those liberal supporters are lucky they didn't get arrested because there was a lot of other arrests going on on the day of the coronation for people peacefully You're not allowed to peacefully protest.
	It's weird, isn't it?
	Because it's supposed to be a democracy.
	It's supposed to be harmless pageantry.
	Continually they used the word serve, didn't they?
	To describe what King Charles was doing.
	He'll be mostly serving.
	He'll be mostly serving.
	Not the word ruling, which is the word that used to be commonly used.
	And it was a real establishment shindig.
	Have a look at Rishi Sunak, our current Prime Minister.
	dancing away. This is one of those things that when you sort of see it, you could be
	neutral about Rishi Sunak because he's a bit of a no-mark, he's a bit of a political non-entity,
	he's a bit of a nobody, he's a bit of a sort of a comes out of hedge funds and all that kind of
	just you know WF globalist stuff. But he will evoke emotions when you see him dancing, check this out.
	I don't like that kind of enthusiasm, do you?
	Hey, baby, let's go!
	Yeah, we're rockin' now!
	Made me sort of shudder a little bit there.
	Oh dear.
	Did it make you feel a bit sorry for him?
	He's so tragic, isn't he, Rishi?
	Unfortunately.
	He needs to be swaddled up in baby's clothes and just held so tight.
	Like that, innit?
	The point you swaddle a baby is because they're moving around too much.
	You swaddle them up, they're all cosy back in the womb.
	That's what Rishi Sunak needs.
	Swaddle him up nice and tight, get him right nice there in a hedge fund that may have provided significant funding to Moderna.
	Right.
	Well, I mean, I think it did do that.
	Allegedly.
	Allegedly.
	It sort of did happen.
	Just happened.
	It's one of those things that happened in the world.
	Unelected, yes, Barry John M Fox there in the chat.
	You're quite right about all that.
	Remember, if you're watching this on YouTube, join us over on Rumble now.
	And if you want to dive a little deeper, get right into Locals, because in a minute, we're going to be talking about the stuff they won't tell you on mainstream media because of their biases and their ultimate support of the establishment.
	We're going to be talking about Julian Assange's letter to Charles.
	And if you can guess now in the chat, five things that make you right wing now, I'll give you one clue.
	Free speech is one of them.
	No, you didn't used to be that.
	You did not used to be right wing.
	Free speech used to be all wings.
	It's weird seeing that, isn't it?
	Like, I know you, you know, maybe sometimes you feel like you're going too far when you make comparisons with China.
	And I know like some of those protesters, some of the people who were arrested, it was like, these are draconian methods, these things that authoritarian people should... You're affected by these protests.
	Well, I just think, while you're seeing this, I mean, this is the kind of stuff like when you're in China and you're seeing the elections and it's just like, oh, it's just, I mean, it's outright propaganda.
	And obviously this is not to do with elections, but it is about power, ultimately.
	That is what this whole thing is reinforcing.
	All this imagery is reinforcing that.
	But at the same time, these protest laws that are coming in, they're the things that will actually affect people.
	As things get worse and worse, Your inability to protest will genuinely affect you.
	Not whether or not you can dance to take that or whatever at a concert.
	You know, and then like Silky Carlo, friend of the show.
	Can we do, first of all, can we do the protest laws?
	Because I like that.
	This is my favourite sign, by the way, by the protesters.
	Like, it really nails it in four words.
	Like, this is an anti-royal protest that went on during the ceremony.
	He's just some guy!
	It's almost like they're not that angry.
	But wait a minute!
	He's just some guy!
	Why are we funding all this stuff?
	Now, can we have a look, please, at the protest laws in detail?
	What can you not do now that you used to be able to do?
	Let's go full screen on that.
	So, while all this stuff was going on, They just casually introduced, like while we're looking at big golden five ton carriages while people are using food banks.
	Remember, I'm not even anti-law.
	I think you should decide.
	I think you should vote for it.
	You should have a referendum.
	You know how people love a referendum as long as they go the way they want them to.
	These were introduced as is often the case.
	These police were given new powers specifically for this event.
	So it's using this event to say what we don't want is problems and protesters and things.
	Let's give the police new powers.
	But as we know, those powers don't get...
	are rescinded. King Charles's coronation is a chance to showcase our liberty, said a cabinet
	minister. Well let's look at how they showcase those liberties, let's have a look at those
	laws. Locking on and going equipped to lock on, attaching yourselves to others, objects
	or buildings. One person got arrested I think for having some string. That little boy was
	named Pinocchio, he was a little puppet boy.
	Extending of stop and search powers.
	So that means what?
	They can search you a bit more.
	Serious disruption prevention orders.
	Allow courts to place requirements they consider to be necessary in order to prevent someone causing.
	That's preemptive.
	That means they can arrest you.
	That's old school.
	That's what they did to like Irish people in this country.
	Britain started getting arrested in the 70s and 80s.
	Sir, could you just Could we hear you speak for a moment?
	Oh absolutely, so what do you want me to say?
	You're under arrest for being in possession of an Irish accent.
	That's pre-emptive arrest.
	Enabling the Secretary of State to bring civil proceedings in relation to protest activity where courts grant an injunction in the context of those proceedings.
	The measure enables the court to attach power of arrest.
	12 months prison sentence for blocking a road.
	So that's the point now.
	If you block a road in a protest, you can get a 12-month prison sentence for that.
	That's crazy.
	I think that's why they were reporting so much on those people where it was a bit annoying, you know, where they were sort of linking arms across roads, you know, those energy protests, people throwing stuff at paint-ins, which was, I think, funded by some weird interests, you know.
	Getty.
	Getty's.
	The Getty's.
	Go and Getty some oil, baby.
	Like they funded those protests and they showed like ordinary people dragging the protesters out of the road.
	But if you grant more power to the state, it is not ultimately going to be used in your favor.
	Also, look at this.
	This comes from friend of the show Silky Carlo from Big Brother Watch.
	She provides us with a lot of information around surveillance.
	The Met used live facial recognition systems during the coronation.
	This form of mass surveillance will mostly consist of technology provided by HIK Vision, a controversial company due to its tech being used in labor camps in China.
	Don't judge us only by the tech we use in labor camps!
	We do lots of tech!
	So when we talk about comparisons to China, people will be like, oh you're ridiculous, this is just stupid, of course it's not like China.
	Well, the type of technology they're using is exactly what they're using in China, in labor camps actually.
	This live facial recognition is not referenced in a single UK law, has never been Never been debated in Parliament and is one of the most privacy-intrusive technologies ever used in British policing.
	So when you're talking about, oh, let's celebrate the coronation, what you're celebrating is these things being introduced.
	Wow, it's brilliant.
	It's more to it than take that.
	The appropriation of working-class cultural artefacts like the song You'll Never Walk Alone, even though the people of Liverpool with whom that song is associated absolutely detest the establishment and openly boo during those songs.
	Technology and protest laws being introduced to all, you know, to showcase how bloody liberal everything is.
	I've got a few interesting quotes about that.
	Take that and go to prison.
	Protesting.
	I've got two good quotes here.
	One is from British journalist Julie Birchew and another one is from Richard Cobden.
	I'm going to surprise you with Richard Cobden who I believe is a liberal.
	We all remember Richard Cobden because of his great work around the Corn Laws.
	Do you remember the Cornwall and the Opium Wars?
	Yeah, talking about China.
	Let's take this thing back to a little old fang called history.
	So Julie Birchall said, a wedding is a funeral which masquerades as a feast and the greater the pageantry, the deeper the savagery.
	Brilliant piece of writing there and offering you that Foucaultian dialectic.
	Is it that the more ceremony you see there, does it mean the savagery is greater?
	This is a question for you.
	This is not my opinion.
	No, when a newspaper called The Independent, funded by Saudi Arabia, says that I said the public are stupid, when I ask, are we stupid, why did they change it?
	What does that show you?
	It shows you an agenda.
	It shows they want you to feel a certain way about anyone who is a dissenter.
	Anyone who interrupts the establishment narrative.
	So bear that in mind whenever you're listening to their lies.
	Okay, so this is by Richard Cobden.
	The 12 or 15 millions in the British Empire who, while they possess no electoral rights, are yet persuaded they are free men and who are mystified into the notion that they are not political bondmen by that great juggle of the English Constitution.
	A thing of monopolies and churchcraft and sinecures and armorial hocus-pocus, primogeniture and pageantry.
	I'll break down a few of those words there.
	Sinecures, I had to look up.
	That means a job where you don't have to do nothing.
	Like on-screen assistant.
	It's like one of those...
	That was a good head drop!
	That was like Andy Robertson in the English National Anthem, just a Scotsman staring at the floor, insulted by what's going on.
	Now, sinecures is a job where you don't have to do any work.
	Armorial hocus-pocus, I actually don't know what armorial means, I imagine that's to do with the armed forces.
	Primogeniture, the process of making the firstborn king, because really, Charles's sister Older than him, she should have been king or queen.
	Right.
	It's blatant sexism.
	So you can't have these institutions and talk and pretend that progressivism is your de facto religion, i.e.
	identity politics.
	You can't query and argue about taking the badges out of the Manchester football clubs.
	There's ships in Manchester City's badge and Manchester United's badge.
	Should the ships be there because there's connotations of the slave trade and imperialism?
	Well, yeah, that might be true.
	Shall we have a look at where the royal family's money comes from?
	It comes from colonialism, imperialism.
	It comes from you and me.
	Making it look friendly and like, take that and Lionel Richie and all that kind of stuff.
	That's to soften the edges of it.
	That's a nice little wry smile.
	That's a nice little wry smile.
	I know what you're thinking.
	I was thinking because you've been singing a lot of Lionel Richie today.
	You are my destiny.
	So it's worked on someone in this room.
	You are my one and only.
	You got me there.
	You bring that joy to me.
	Like the only thing I watched of the thing, the the coronation was on BBC2 they did all of Lionel Richie's
	performances over the years not from that day over the years Lionel Richie's and
	being with the Commodores in 1980 him doing yes you once twice and I was
	thinking Lionel Richie's brilliant actually right that's what you took from
	all this mine you here's my opinion
	Lionel Richie is brilliant and those people when I was 16 took a piss out of me saying I should have been listening to like jungle music and like hardcore house.
	They were wrong and I'm right because I was on my own in my room listening to Lionel Richie.
	What's he listening to in there?
	Right you, you little prat!
	And I was listening to Lionel Richie, Best Ofs on CD.
	It has influenced your personality.
	It's influenced my wet look hair.
	Now, uh, okay, so, oh, do you want to listen?
	We're gonna, in a minute, we're gonna flip over to being exclusively on Rumble and talking about Julian Assange, his position on all this.
	He's written to the newly crowned king and it's out of order, really, that he ain't been, his voice isn't heard.
	Even the Australian Prime Minister... What, do you want him to be alongside Lionel Richie?
	I want...
	I reckon this celebration should have been Julian Assange, Lionel Richie, now live from Belmarsh, singing You Are My Destiny!
	It's Julian Assange!
	You are my destiny!
	Can I come out please?
	I've only got 15 minutes of yard time!
	You are my one and only!
	The destiny is the trial!
	Where he's going to jail for 175 years!
	We're going to hold that trial in Texas, bitches!
	Whoop whoop!
	Now, Edward Snowden, in Russia, doing, hello?
	Is it me you're looking for?
	You better believe it's you we're looking for, Snowden!
	Where are you, you little son of a bitch?
	Telling the truth to the American people?
	They can't handle the truth.
	A few little facts.
	The British Crown legally owns 6.6 billion acres, ooh, nearly 666, of land across the world.
	That's a six, there's the third six!
	Of the Earth's surface.
	British monarchs are worth 28 billion quid.
	Royal family costs us 300 million a year.
	22, 23, blah, blah, blah.
	86 million.
	What's this about clocks?
	The palace urgently requires 30 more clocks.
	Yeah.
	What is that?
	It's if they need more clocks, they get more money.
	It's as simple as that, really.
	They get money for clocks?
	Yeah, clocks.
	How many clocks do they need?
	I don't know, it's a random fact.
	I put it in there because I thought it was amusing.
	It is amusing.
	I reckon they should have that one out of Beauty and the Beast, what comes to life.
	Tells you what to do in that and his mates with the candelabra.
	And the one from Back to the Future.
	Just all the famous clocks.
	Famous!
	I'd want a few famous clocks.
	I want the one from the DeLorean counting down.
	Putt, putt, jiggle, what's Marty?
	We're going back to the past where we can see where the Royals got all this money.
	Oh shit, don't show that!
	And where you can have it off with your mum!
	That's Marty McFly.
	Yeah.
	That's having it away with his mum.
	I know he's saying you can do it when we go back in time.
	Not Charles.
	No, no, no.
	Bah!
	We ain't doing that!
	Not here!
	No.
	Although... No.
	No.
	Okay, let's go, because I've got a good joke.
	All right, let's go over Rumble so I can do that joke.
	Yes.
	Talk about Julian Assange.
	There's a giant penis been mown on the lawn of a site of a coronation party.
	That's childish.
	I also once lost a cell phone there, and...
	In a giant penis?
	Yeah, there it is.
	That's where I lost my cell phone.
	Around the tip.
	Around the pelmet.
	Around the pelmet is where I lost my cell phone there.
	And I think that's been caused by my charisma.
	That almighty phallus.
	That's just where my spores have been left.
	I was walking around with it.
	No, is it here?
	No, it's up there.
	Oh, maybe look here.
	I'll study that bit.
	I thought they might have just copied the imagery on your phone, right?
	Oh my god!
	It's amazing!
	And so lustrous and lush and verdant!
	Shall we... right, let's flick over to being on... I don't want to say flick over while I'm looking at that sort of perfectly spherical pair of nuts either side like that.
	Why don't they join up in the middle?
	Why are them guys down like that?
	They ain't orphans!
	Why don't they join up down at the bottom?
	Why don't they?
	I asked my doctor the same question.
	Please, doctor, doctor, give me the news.
	I've got a bad case of separate balls.
	Let's go over now to Rumble before anything else goes wrong.
	Join us in the locals community, like people like True Chimera and Barry John Fox.
	I bet Russell did do that.
	C word on the lawn.
	Are we on Rumble now?
	Can I say cock?
	Yeah, we're over.
	Off you are.
	Thank God.
	There we go.
	It's worth the money, isn't it?
	Worth coming over Rumble to see a man take cock.
	Okay, this is Julian Assange's letter to old King Charlie.
	He's got a brand new hat.
	Assange writes, I implore you, King Charles, to visit His Majesty's Prison Belmarsh.
	Right, because the prison's below.
	Wow, yeah.
	It's meant to be your prison, for it is an honour befitting a king.
	As you embark upon your reign, may you always remember the words of the King James Bible.
	Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
	Whoa!
	Go on, is there more from Assange or did they drop it out there?
	That's good.
	Assange is one of those things you're not meant to talk about as it makes you right wing.
	Right.
	Isn't it?
	That's absolutely right.
	Don't do Assange!
	A man in prison for his beliefs, that's right wing.
	Yep.
	Here are some other things that are right-wing now, because guess what?
	In your country, America, you know, like people are saying that RFK, now that he's got 20% of the poll in, he should be allowed to participate in some presidential debates.
	But saying that you want a presidential debate, that's right-wing now.
	Apparently, I've got Assange's letter on my desk somewhere, gals.
	You know where it is.
	Have you seen it?
	Is it a long letter?
	Here we go.
	Oh, it is a bit... Oh, Julian.
	Bloody hell, mate.
	Well, you've got a lot of time on your hands.
	Of course he has, isn't he?
	He's banged up 23-45.
	Stella, no offence, sorry mate, his wife and the leader of the campaign to free Julian Assange, a campaign that we actually back, as a matter of fact.
	We'll be watching.
	Sorry, Stella, sometimes I just say things for a laugh.
	I don't know what's wrong with me.
	There's something wrong with my mind.
	It's an illness, I think.
	I think it's Lionel Richie's fault.
	You are my destiny, diddly diddling!
	Yeah, of course...
	Katy Perry was there.
	Yes.
	Remember I used to be married to Katy Perry?
	No, I do remember that.
	I like Katy Perry.
	No, good.
	She's very good.
	What about when they had the King and Queen being on American Idol?
	I know, that was... Yeah, let's have a look at that.
	It's weird, isn't it?
	Because I remember when I was in Getting to the Greek, starring me... Yeah, right.
	I had to go on this, and what you realise is that, like, this will be on the ABC network, which will also own a film studio, and they all do, like, deals together.
	Now, I bet the Coronation was being covered by a particular network, or had, you know, exclusivity with a particular network, or more access, and I bet it's the one that does this.
	And, like, it was mad enough getting me to go on American Idol, so I went on it.
	Because mainly, weren't you on there as, like, a charisma coach or something?
	Why are you saying that?
	Of course I was, yeah.
	That's the one thing that did make sense in this topsy-turvy world, is that they brought me in to coach those poor dullards.
	A bit of charisma, a bit of on-screen razzmatazz.
	Is that what it was?
	Yeah, I remember now.
	It was all making sense.
	You've got all the attributes you need.
	You've got a brilliant singer, you look amazing, you're beautiful, but the one thing you lack is some advice from this guy.
	Yo, yo, yo, what's up?
	Time for some charisma!
	Now, be really intense all the time, never stopping.
	Be sporadically hilariously funny, then weirdly gloomy and morose.
	Always look off into the distance like you don't belong here, and then sort of quote Foucault, not always in the correct context.
	Think a bit too much about suicide.
	Good luck out there, you crazy kids!
	Good luck!
	Good luck with your record careers.
	Now, so I know it's sort of like, so Katy Perry, about whom I've got nothing but good things to say having been married to Katy.
	She was a lovely human being, actually, in all truth.
	You don't marry people because you don't love them, you marry them because you do love them.
	Now let's have a look at Katie being with Lionel Richie and then the weird bit where like Camilla and Charles shuffle on and I am such a sucker for this stuff such a tea towel owning royal supporting down in my dumb blood way that I feel sort of sad for them and not right.
	I am going to do some kind of meta-producorial stuff here.
	How?
	This will definitely be pulled out by if they're going to do a newspaper article about you saying the monarchy should be abolished they'll definitely do something about this.
	Good producing.
	Right.
	Alright, well I'm not going to give them any good stuff.
	You've said nice stuff so far.
	I believe only in the working people and our rights to find love in our hearts.
	I believe that love is the answer and the deepest truth there is.
	And when we talk of God, we're talking of this love.
	They won't be able to use that, it's too loving.
	They won't, they won't use that.
	That's useless, they'll just speed through that.
	Look at this bit!
	He said that!
	What if we clip it up?
	He talks about the big penis in the field!
	Put the penis bit there!
	I would like to, uh, Katie, excuse me, I have a surprise.
	Excuse me, I just, yes, I did.
	Goodness!
	Surprise, I have a surprise.
	Oh my goodness.
	I'm not doing this all night long.
	No, I'm not. Because I just wanted to check how much, how long you'll be using this room for.
	I feel like they, they're so sweet, aren't they really?
	It's not their fault.
	They didn't ask to be born in that position any more than we wanted to be born in our positions.
	This is not an attack on human individuals.
	I actually do believe in God, therefore I believe in love.
	What I feel is a problem is using symbols of power that ...are beyond reproach and question while simultaneously bringing in protest laws using unprecedented surveillance techniques and further drilling down into the idea that you can't change anything, that there's something natural about hegemony and that there's something natural about ordinary people suffering while you have a reified and elite class.
	It's not a tax on those individuals who If you believe in God, then you do believe that all people are fundamentally beautiful and that we're all trying to get back home to that beauty rather than, oh, these people are worse.
	I don't believe in that kind of sectarian, partisan attack.
	That's not what we're here for.
	We are a good faith organization that believe that together we can improve.
	Like, whenever we make content, we try to be guided by those values.
	Are we attacking the establishment?
	We're not attacking individuals, are we?
	We're not being mean.
	Of course, we've made mistakes.
	Me in particular, I've made a lot of mistakes.
	But our intention is to bring people together so that we can organize society more fairly, so that we all have more authority in our own lives and our own communities.
	So I'm glad you reminded me about the mainstream media.
	They'll definitely take this clip and use it.
	Now, all of it is going to be saying stuff like, Oh, no, We can't use that.
	That's all fair and just and judicious and sensible and superior to our low-life mentality.
	They'll end up doing that thing with Homer where there's that clock behind him that keeps changing.
	I wanted to say that the rules are bad.
	We should... They would just literally do that, wouldn't they?
	There's no morals.
	It's a difficult place to live.
	We're talking about lack of democracy.
	Yeah.
	Well, this is a really interesting thing at the moment.
	The situation with, as you said before, that now calling for Biden to do a debate, which the DNC don't, are going to make sure doesn't happen, which doesn't seem, for the Democratic National Committee, doesn't seem very democratic, does it?
	It's not democratic.
	Now we've got to the point where calling for a debate is now a right-wing issue.
	How can that be a right-wing issue?
	We're getting RFK on here.
	We're sick and tired of being told you can't have people on.
	Oh, you're platforming them.
	They're right-wing or whatever.
	I'm interested in peripheral voices that are willing to attack the establishment.
	Have you seen RFK's campaign video?
	It's all like, you know, energy companies got too much power, big tech got too much power, big pharma got too much power.
	We've been lied to.
	The media are propping up the establishment.
	Bring the troops home.
	End wars.
	Oh, you're fascists.
	How free Julian Assange?
	Free Julian Assange!
	Oh, you absolutely... He's getting all of the right-wing ticks.
	Let's have a look at the five issues that are now right-wing.
	See which ones you guessed.
	And if you guessed it correctly, you get 20 years in Belmarsh without trial.
	Things that are right-wing now.
	Refusing to debate political opponents, free speech, being anti-war, pro-peaceful protest, and releasing Julian Assange.
	All right-wing issues, fascinatingly.
	Now, let's just talk about the composition of this graphic by Jack Thomas, who works there.
	Why has he put so much purple outside of it?
	A sea of indigo that was described as by our producer, Jamie.
	Why are the fonts not bigger in there?
	Because I goes, look mate, this don't have to be complicated.
	That eyepiece around the window in this spire in fringe, just use something like that.
	He's gone for that, that is delivered.
	But look at the rest of it.
	It looks like something's been dawdled on a pencil case, doesn't it?
	And he's a good-looking lad.
	Let's have a look at him.
	Dan, go out there.
	Go out there and let's have a look at these people.
	He's a bright, good-looking lad.
	Let us know in the chat what you think of him.
	There he is.
	Can we see him?
	Can I see him in our monitor?
	That's the back of his head.
	Turn round, Jack, so we can see you.
	Look, he's a good-looking lad.
	So why won't he work just a little bit harder?
	See who else there is.
	Why did you not try a bit harder, Jack?
	Oh, look at that.
	Full sight.
	There's young Putin in the background.
	Many will remember him.
	He looks like Putin as a young man.
	Is that Phil or Joe that's in the front of the shot?
	That's Phil, known as Bad Dad, running the show.
	Young Victoria in the background.
	Name of one of our great monarchs.
	Yeah, Victoria Phantom.
	Talking of ghostly apparitions, did you see that Princess Diana in the form of the Grim Reaper came back?
	Check this out.
	Get beyond that disgusting graphic that Jack's lazily created, probably while high on spice.
	Some of these people say that the Grim Reaper appeared in the back of shot at Westminster Abbey during it.
	have a look at this.
	Was it?
	Slowly now.
	Easy does it.
	That's the Grim Reaper!
	Did you see that Grim Reaper right there?
	Pretty spooky.
	See?
	Some people... Kamale says... What's going on there?
	That's a weird thing.
	It's a weird thing.
	I suppose because it does look so much like fairy tales, you get swept up in it.
	Ashella says, who was that really?
	Ashella, we've just told you.
	It's the ghost of Diana.
	Alright?
	Whoa, nothing, Jack Swiss, I saw that too.
	Hey Russ, hey everyone.
	That's not the sort of comment I should have read out, sorry.
	I got caught up in that.
	Should we have a, should we want to see some sensible analysis of the entire event before talking to a representative of the mainstream and like tormenting and teasing and loving on them a little?
	Yep.
	Do you want to see that?
	And then members of our locals community, we're going to do like some Q&A stuff later.
	We'll involve Subie.
	Subie can do all the questions and stuff.
	Some people said it's Queen Elizabeth back with a vengeance.
	Now that's the sort of thing that they will use in their video.
	He even at one point bizarrely suggested that the risen ghost of Queen Elizabeth II came back.
	He will.
	They will say that, won't they?
	They won't do my sensible stuff about how we're all love and all that stuff.
	Oh no.
	No, of course they won't.
	Hey, let's have a look at this.
	What's the truth of the King Charles coronation?
	Yeah, what's it really about?
	What's being concealed by it?
	What is it masking?
	And that's it, really.
	Is that it?
	It's pretty good.
	What are the best bits?
	You made it with me.
	What was a good bit?
	We've got some cracking facts in there.
	Cracking facts?
	Cracking facts.
	All right, Grandad.
	Now, we all know you like facts.
	We've got a cracking fact.
	Look at this fact.
	Do you know a baby swan is called a Suggsy?
	Right, there'll be more cracking facts like that next Christmas!
	Freemasons from Illuminate, so that's what people want, innit guys?
	You want to see symbols, you want to hear Illuminati.
	There's all of that, there's all of that.
	There's that in there, is there?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I didn't do no Freemasons.
	I put it in later.
	Later on, after I'd finished, put a bit of Freemasons and Lizards.
	Diana!
	Here's the news.
	No, here's the effing news.
	No, here's the fucking news!
	God save the king!
	But what do you have to destroy in order to save the king?
	Hmm?
	Hello there you 6.4 million awakening wonders.
	Thanks for joining us on this voyage to truth and freedom.
	A truth and freedom that is already within you, waiting to be expressed communally, collectively and individually through open discourse, through banning censorship, through demanding free speech.
	We can have conversations through which we will recognize we have more in common than divides us.
	Take this subject of the coronation.
	You might not be an English person, a British person, an Irish person even, and therefore not have strong opinions on this subject.
	In fact, my opinions on the subject are somewhat ambiguous and ambivalent, but let's have a conversation about the nature of power, the nature of censorship, and are the monarchy a British hot-button topic like pro-life, pro-choice, and gun control in your country, America?
	A subject that's used To divide people.
	Turn on the notification bell right now and subscribe to our channel.
	It's the only way we can be sure that we reach you every day with the content we make for you every single day.
	Remember, we're interested in your opinion.
	We value what you say.
	That's why I was particularly offended to see that when the independent newspaper, a British newspaper, I say it's British, but it's significantly owned by Saudi Arabian interests, I reported on a broadcast we did last week and changed my words, saying Russell Brand calls the public stupid, silly, when in fact what I'd said was, we must be silly to continue to tolerate this, and then presented a bunch of questions.
	Do you know why?
	My wife likes the Royal Family.
	My mother likes the royal family.
	My mother-in-law likes the royal family.
	My grandmother, God rest her soul, loved the royal family.
	British people have it deep in our bones because of the wars, the pageantry, the significant things it represents.
	Queen Elizabeth II's durability and duty are deeply stitched into the fabric of this country.
	So I would never be flippant or frivolous.
	Never would I label the public that I am a part of, the community that I belong to, the communities that I grew up in, as stupid because it simply means too much to me.
	Why, then, would the independent change the language?
	And what does that reveal?
	If you change something where a person says, we must be silly, to you must be silly, that reveals an intention, doesn't it?
	It means they have an opinion on me, I suppose, in particular in this instance, not that I'm suggesting that I'm particularly important, But they are trying to rile a certain group of people.
	But I'm not alone in thinking that the coronation is perhaps a ceremony that is out of date.
	In fact, let me know in the comments if you agree with this.
	I see the coronation of King Charles as similar to the presidency of Joe Biden, unwittingly revealing that an institution is decaying and in need of radical revision.
	And I also think that the 300 million pounds a year that the royal family cost us is nothing to the 35 billion pounds a year lost through tax evasion, and that the power that the royal family is nothing compared to the power that corporations are able to exert.
	I think that what we need to address here is power, the nature of power, and uncontra symbols.
	Let's have a look at events from the weekend.
	At kick-off, as was the case at every Premier League game, the National Anthem was played to mark the coronation of King Charles.
	As expected, there were widespread boos and jeers at Anfield.
	Liverpool fans have been booing the National Anthem since at least the 1980s in protest against the establishment and its treatment of the city.
	The treatment of the city they're referring to includes the Hillsborough disaster where it has been proven that in that instance the police lied and the Sun newspaper famously published a headline, the truth about Liverpool fans in which they lied, like newspapers regularly and ordinarily do in order to carry their own agenda.
	Let me know in the chat and the comments if the booing of the Liverpool fans is a kind of indication that the decentralisation that we continually talk about on this channel is a necessity.
	Would the people of Liverpool much rather run their own city and their own principality rather than being somehow tied to a centralised institution, whether that's monarchical or parliamentary?
	Let me know in the comments.
	Whatever else we learned from that clip, it shows you that a lot of people are querying
	this coronation.
	And again, to let you know my nuanced opinion, I don't think the monarchy is the most significant thing when it comes to corruption and lack of power for ordinary people.
	I just think it's an indication of how these systems function.
	But if you want to look at the history of the situation, the power of the British monarchy is derived from imperialism and colonialism.
	In this country recently, we've had a conversation about removing the ships from the Manchester United and Manchester City badges.
	Well, if you want to take the ships out of those badges, because of the connections to slavery that that indicates, you have to have an honest conversation about the royal family, don't you?
	Let me know in the chat and the comments.
	There was another procession along the Mall this morning.
	The protesters marched away to the beat of the drum before the King had even left for the Abbey.
	This comment from Giotti is fantastic.
	This is one of the people that commented on our channel.
	I just finished watching the coronation.
	It made me cry, not in a good way, as I watched an elderly man and woman go through a ceremony as old as the country itself and at phenomenally eye-watering expense, to crown the oldest person ever to be crowned in the history of Britain and probably the world.
	It made me think of his mother at her coronation and how young and strong and peachy fresh she was, filling the nation with hope and promise for the future as we recovered and rebuilt the country and the population after World War II.
	My ineffable sadness was not relieved by the spectacle, the pageantry and the pomp of it all.
	It made me think of the poverty stricken, the homeless, the trapped, the sick and the disabled, the mentally ill, the orphaned and the elderly.
	So people who have affection for the royal family, people that revere Queen Elizabeth II, and you can watch our video on Queen Elizabeth II's passing here and judge for yourself whether I respect the monarchy and what it represents and the way that it's connected to ordinary British people.
	But when you hear those Liverpool fans, when you see the poverty in this country, when you see that there's an energy crisis, while energy companies profit, while you see nurses and doctors and teachers striking just a couple of months after it was painting rainbows on the windows and they're our heroes and protect key workers, you have to recognise we are at a time of reckoning and conversation.
	And when you see a newspaper attack someone who's We were arrested for having t-shirts and flags, she says.
	it shows you the establishment, in this case Saudi Arabian owned, have an agenda.
	Let me know what you think in the comments.
	We were arrested for having t-shirts and flags, she says.
	Officers have been given new powers this week to police protests.
	What?
	Sorry?
	Oh, that's interesting.
	You've given the police more power.
	You're militarizing the police.
	That's happening in America.
	That's happening in Canada and all over the world.
	New bills to censor you on social media and elsewhere, even for information you haven't published, are being passed in what are called the Five Eyes countries, thanks to the revelations of Edward Snowden, a man who's currently in Russia.
	You have to recognize who your heroes are and who your heroes are not.
	Wow!
	Low tolerance.
	Like the royal family, the police are funded by the public.
	So what kind of dynamic does that suggest?
	We're going to have low tolerance with you.
	People that you disagree with should have the right to express themselves.
	Should they?
	Let me know in the comments in the chat.
	The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police said tonight that the force is proud to have led the largest policing operation in decades.
	Adding, God save the King, So that's extraordinary.
	So on one level you might think that the coronation is frivolous, comparatively not expensive, and generally speaking is a symbol to bind the country together.
	And I think that is what it should be.
	Like the sadness in that comment, it should represent what the Queen did represent to people 50 years ago.
	But now it seems to represent something different.
	The ability to impose power, the ability to control dissent, the ability to censor when necessary, the ability to pass anti-protest laws, the ability to direct funding and taxes towards resources that benefit the elite establishment rather than ordinary people.
	Good evening, Adriana.
	It was cold and wet today.
	The royal family's problems haven't gone away, and this country's still suffering through a cost-of-living crisis.
	You wouldn't know it from the golden carriages.
	But they managed to crown their king, and it's not every day you see that.
	Thank God!
	We couldn't bloody afford it!
	The gilded gates of Buckingham Palace opened this morning.
	Gilded gates, golden carriages, horses, this is expensive.
	But the expense is not really the problem.
	That expenditure, as we've said, is nothing compared to the corporate power exercised over your government in whatever country you're in, or the tax evasion of powerful corporations.
	But it is a symbol of where power lies, and it is galling and ridiculous.
	While there's a crisis around food and energy to have golden carriages parading through the streets that you're paying for.
	The heavens opened but that couldn't stop Charles's march towards his destiny.
	Well of course we're not going to say we're not going to cancel it because it's raining in England although the superstitious and the spiritual among us will say...
	The Lord wept upon this day.
	Through the heart of Westminster in central London, protected by over a thousand members of the British Armed Forces.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	A thousand members of the British Armed Forces.
	So that's some considerable freight behind this meaningless fun symbol, isn't it?
	You'll notice that the word serve was used a lot more than the word rule or reign.
	That because Queen Elizabeth II in her durability, her endurance, her duty somehow embodied all of our grandmothers and their quiet ability to suck up a couple of world wars and still deliver an omelette has somehow been projected onto this archetypal symbolic central family.
	Now talking of service has become a kind of bait and switch.
	We're just serving you.
	We're just serving you.
	Serving us what?
	Golden carriages that we can look at when half the population are bloody starving and can't keep the lights on?
	I here present unto you King Charles, your undoubted king.
	Can't doubt it.
	Can't question it.
	Can't query it.
	God save King Charles.
	God save King Charles.
	And then the oath of office.
	Your Majesty.
	Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?
	Of course we know the power of the king is largely symbolic but here are a few interesting facts.
	British monarchs are worth almost 28 billion dollars.
	The royal family cost UK taxpayers around 300 million pounds every year.
	King Charles's private fortune is estimated at 1.8 billion dollars.
	Charles did not have to pay inheritance tax on his massive wealth he inherited from his late mother, including the Duchy of Lancaster, which brings in around 24 million dollars a year, with net assets of around 1.2 billion.
	I don't even begrudge them all of that.
	I just feel it's worth having a conversation about what that represents during a cost-of-living crisis, and that cost-of-living crisis is brought about by the control and management of resources, and our belief that things can't change and shouldn't change.
	I'm simply offering you this possibility.
	Things can change.
	Do you not think that the people of Liverpool will be better off governing their own community?
	I'm talking about entirely different economic models.
	I'm talking about, in necessary instances, arresting technological process where it denies people jobs.
	I'm talking about collectivising and localising the control of your own food resources.
	Grow your own food, control your own energy, at the level of cities and principalities, democratically.
	And if you think that's a crazy idea, have another look at this ceremony and we'll talk about what's crazy.
	The most sacred part of the ceremony is the anointing, a tradition rooted in the Old Testament of the Bible.
	Screened from view and using holy oil harvested from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Charles was anointed on his hands, chest and head.
	What do you mean people could run their own communities and grow their own food?
	Cuckoo!
	Cuckoo!
	Back to the anointing.
	What's the anointing?
	Well, we pour magic oil on the king's head, and then you can't pay your gas bill.
	Could I have some of that magic oil?
	I'm fucking freezing!
	And this time, the ceremony represented a more diverse country than it's ever been before.
	Today, the coronation included leaders from the Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh traditions.
	Look!
	Look at the progress!
	Can't you see those people in robes of the state have a variety of skin colours?
	See?
	Progress!
	Now get down to the food bank and get yourself a celebratory feast and warm yourself up on some oil.
	Could I have some of the anointed oil?
	No, we need all of it for our diverse ceremony!
	A symbol of covenant and peace.
	It's a symbol of how power will shift and manoeuvre in order to continue to control.
	That there is a willingness to be inclusive culturally, and I would say that is a good thing.
	It's better than not doing it.
	That's what I mean by it's a good thing.
	But it doesn't actually change the lives of many, many ordinary people who cannot afford energy, who cannot afford food, who are funding wars abroad in the same way that colonialism and imperialism was founded.
	We continue to fund wars through tax dollars in, for example, Ukraine, and it seems like we're agitating for one in Taiwan.
	This is a new form of colonialism.
	In terms of global economics, Britain is, I would say, broadly irrelevant.
	Therefore, all of our institutions, in the macro, are somewhat irrelevant.
	But symbolically, what you can read from these ceremonies is that power will manoeuvre and manipulate, supported by their allies in mainstream media, to keep ordinary people distracted, underserved, ill-informed.
	Let me know what you think in the chat and the comments.
	Do you read something from I'm not saying that you shouldn't like the monarchy.
	Of course you do.
	You've seen them all your life.
	It's like Disney World.
	You can criticize Disney World.
	You go there, you'll probably have a good time.
	It's been there all your life, on biscuit tins, on your money.
	If you didn't feel anything about it, you'd be crazy.
	I'm offering you, in a rational, secular society that's not meant to be religious anymore, that's meant to be based on enlightenment values, Is this the best way for British people to spend their resources and to spend their attention?
	Or is it being used to distract us from the fact that whether you voted in our country, Conservative or Labour, you're going to end up with the same sort of deal?
	Is it being used to distract you from the fact that a couple of years ago there was a massive wealth transfer, loads of businesses got shut down, nurses, teachers and doctors were called heroes and applauded, and now just a couple of years later they can't get the minuscule rises and decent working conditions that they're willing to go on strike for?
	You have to look at these things collectively.
	That's all I'm inviting you to do.
	Remember, we don't think we're better than you.
	We learn from you.
	We care about you.
	They don't.
	King Charles waited for this moment for seven decades.
	The longest apprenticeship in British royal history.
	Also, a pretty good wage for an apprenticeship.
	1.2 billion, 125 million a year.
	Some people earn five pounds an hour.
	I get an hour off for a sandwich at lunch, plus enough time to pop to the food bank.
	Finally, St.
	Edward's crown was lowered onto his head.
	God save the king!
	He don't even look like he's that into it, does he?
	He's like a normal person.
	I actually shook hands with King Charles, as he now must be known, once.
	And this is not a personal attack on individuals or human beings.
	They didn't ask to be them any more than you asked to be you.
	I'm simply inviting us to have a conversation about the way that power, wealth and revenue are distributed and the potential for amending systems in a way that seems to be trying to be born.
	In the same way that you can witness that these ceremonies and institutions are being held up with incredible effort.
	6,000 armed police.
	You can see from the anger in Liverpool that people want decentralised power and control over their own resources.
	Let me know in the chat in the comments if you agree.
	Crafted from 22 carat gold in the 1600s, the crown's trimmed with ermine and festooned with over 400 precious stones, including rubies and sapphires.
	I like that they're impressed by how much gold and sapphires are.
	Of course they weigh a lot.
	Shall we have a look at where those diamonds and sapphires came from and if there's any connection to colonialism, imperialism, slavery right now on the king's head.
	The crown's only used for coronations.
	Charles will likely never wear it again.
	Under the price, that's right!
	Queen Camilla was also crowned and anointed today.
	Once reviled in this country, Charles' mistress, hated by the public, she's worked hard to improve her image since they wed nearly 20 years ago.
	One weird sentence worked hard to improve her image.
	Like, the hatred, I think, or the anger or the mistrust is always there and it's kept down by careful management and crushing of dissent.
	That's why I'm mentioning that The Independent changed what I said in order to attack me, not just because it personally slighted me, although that is part of it because I'm a human being.
	But also because they, in order to shut down dissent, they'll change what you said to something else so they can attack you and bring down any dissenting voices.
	Camilla's worked hard, just means there's been an ongoing PR campaign.
	There's nothing wrong with Camilla.
	I'm not attacking Camilla.
	She's an ordinary person.
	She deserves to be happy.
	They fell in love.
	They're normal people.
	Nothing wrong with any of that, except for you're paying for it, and it's a symbol of hegemonic power and also a symbol of you cannot change things.
	Things are the way they are.
	The King and Queen left the Abbey dressed in their purple robes of estate.
	Escorted by nearly 4,000 military personnel.
	Subtext?
	4,000 military personnel?
	This is here to stay or we'll fucking shoot you.
	The monarchy as an institution still has overwhelming support in this country.
	Does it?
	Take a trip to Anfield, baby!
	Again, I don't have a really a strong opinion.
	I just have an inquiring mind like you.
	I just want to understand the truth and I'm serious.
	When I talk about changing the world, for me, it's not like, yeah, we've really got to change the world in ways that doesn't affect the interests of the powerful.
	No, you have to look at power.
	Power is what ordains the way that life is governed.
	That's what power means.
	Notably absent from the balcony were Harry and Meghan, as well as the king's disgraced brother, Prince Andrew.
	Hmm.
	But the crowds today came to celebrate the monarchy and witness history in the making.
	It is an amazing spectacle.
	It does look incredible.
	It is fascinating.
	History, pageantry, tradition, these are all wonderful things, but I feel that they are things that we could access in our own lives and our own community for better value.
	Again, I don't think that the royal family is the centre of the problem.
	I don't think it's the most significant problem that we're facing right now.
	I see it primarily as a symbol of intransigence, i.e.
	things are this way, they must remain this way.
	Note that new protest laws were introduced simultaneously.
	Note that around the world new censorship laws are being lobbied for, so that channels for free speech, like this one, can be shut down, monitored and controlled.
	And note even that my modest critiques of the royal family were altered so they became aggressive attacks on ordinary people.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Why do you think they want to do that?
	Because they want to turn us against one another so they can continue to be a Saudi Arabia funded newspaper with the ridiculous name The Independent so that during the pandemic we can be told that we're all in this together while the country in the world is torn apart.
	So that doctors and teachers can be marched like lambs to the slaughter into workplaces that may have been unsafe for all we knew at the beginning of the pandemic, only to be abandoned when they go on strike for reasonable working-paying conditions just a couple of months later.
	What I'm talking about here is real principles and real values.
	I know you have them because I learned them from you.
	I learned them alongside you.
	I grew up in communities that love the royal family.
	I went to street parties as a little boy.
	And I've got nothing against those individuals.
	In my own family right now, in my own house, there are people that love the royals.
	I'm saying that in a democracy, people should have open conversations about power.
	Of course the wealth of the royal family is nothing compared to corporate power in our country, America and all around the world.
	But symbols of power are part of power and must always be reviewed and scrutinized.
	But that's just what I think.
	Let me know what you think in the comments in the chat.
	See you in a second.
	Thanks for choosing Fox News.
	Good day.
	No.
	Here's the fucking news.
	I know you.
	You'd like to drop those leftover pandemic pounds that you put on during the pandemic because you were sad inside because of the pandemic.
	But how sick are you also of all the ads for weight loss pills and fad diets that probably don't even work anyway and might make your feet change colour?
	I've been there.
	I've done that.
	They don't work.
	They're a con.
	They're a trick.
	It's skullduggery.
	Do you know what actually works?
	Eating five healthy servings of fruit and vegetables every single day.
	But who among us has time to prepare that every single day?
	This brings us around to Field of Greens.

	And now, let's go back to that deep, intelligent piece of media critique analysis that you were just watching.
	Stay free with Russell Brand.
	See it first on Rumble.
	Donnie Mack goes, it would have been better if Charlie, the king, had put one of his fat sausage fingers in a roll and fed them to the rest of the royals so he can't get his hands on even more stolen gem gems from around the world.
	Hashtag not my king.
	That's Donnie Mack.
	Think about that.
	Well, I wonder if they'd have enjoyed that, the other royals.
	It'd be a bit where you're biting through bone.
	Tonebird at Tonebird.
	I didn't watch it.
	I'm not a fan of pomp and circumstance.
	That's what they reckon.
	And then as a response to that bit where we played that Wipe Your Vagina, Camilla, or whatever that bit was, the blessed old bird goes, isn't it Regina?
	Of course it is.
	It is that.
	And that takes Bless your bird, just take the fun out of it!
	You take the fun out of it, Lotus Mother, I think you're fucking brilliant.
	Thanks, mate.
	Pride Feltz, Foltz, I didn't, excuse me, Pride Feltz, I didn't watch it either.
	Just reading some of the ones in Locals that are going by right now.
	You can be a member of our Locals community.
	Before we go to our guest, who is literally, literally, Gareth, and you know I'm not one to exaggerate, am I?
	Never.
	She is the owner of the largest collection of royal memorabilia in Australia.
	She's been brought over to our country by the British media, and then they've left her in a porter cabin and made her miss the best bits!
	But before that, a person who has got something to complain about when it comes to lockdowns is Julian Assange.
	And I was going to read his letter, because I forgot to read it earlier, and it's important.
	So I'm just going to read it.
	I've got it.
	I found it.
	What's that?
	Oh, there it is.
	Oh, no.
	I want me pudding!
	I want me pudding!
	Right.
	Oh, that's from a sitcom called Bread.
	To his majesty king charles iii on the coronation of my liege i thought it only fit in to extend a heartfelt invitation to you to commemorate this momentous occasion by visiting your very own kingdom within a kingdom his majesty's prison belmarsh that's where sanji's held you will no doubt recall the wise words of a renowned playwright the quality of mercy is not strained it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath i wonder what renowned playwright that is Ah, oh, it's the Bard, it's Shakespeare.
	Ah, but what would that Bard know of mercy faced with the reckoning at dawn of your historic reign?
	After all, one can truly know the measure of a society by how it treats its prisoners, and your kingdom has surely excelled in that regard.
	Your Majesty's prison, Belmarsh, is located at the prestigious address of One Western Way, London, just a short fox hunt from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
	How delightful it must be to have such an esteemed establishment bear your name.
	It is here that 687 of your loyal subjects are held, supporting the United Kingdom's record as the nation with the largest prison population in Western Europe.
	As your noble government has recently declared, your kingdom is currently undergoing the biggest expansion of prison places in over a century, with its ambitious projections showing an increase of the prison population from 82,000 to 106,000 within the next four years.
	Quite the legacy indeed.
	Why are we not Wow.
	Told this sort of thing about expanding the prison population.
	Did you know that?
	Let me know in the chat and the comments.
	Does this happen in the UK and in the US?
	We're doing it.
	We're banging up our own.
	We're banging up our own.
	How can we have feelings of patriotism and celebration of the icons of our power and of our nation when people are treated so poorly?
	I don't know.
	That's a genuine question.
	Let me know in the chat.
	As a political prisoner held at your majesty's pleasure on behalf of an embarrassed foreign sovereign, I'm honored to reside within the walls of this world-class institution.
	Truly your kingdom knows no bounds.
	During your visit you will have the opportunity to feast upon the culinary delights prepared for your loyal subjects on a generous budget of two pounds per day.
	Savor the blended tuna heads and the ubiquitous reconstituted forms that are purportedly made from chicken.
	And worry not, for unlike lesser institutions such as Alcatraz or San Quentin, there is no communal dining in a mess hall.
	At Belmarsh, prisoners dine alone in their cells, ensuring the utmost intimacy with meals.
	This is pretty heavy, guys.
	I'm sorry about this, but, you know, what did we want?
	I mean, this is a letter by a political prisoner to a newly anointed monarch.
	And really, All of that pageantry and ceremony is the framing of power, the lack of dissent, the inability to offer dissenting opinions.
	And again, let me reiterate, I don't think monarchy is a huge problem or the abolition of the monarchy the solution, but symbols of power and the inability to critique power is a significant part of the problem.
	Beyond the gustatory pleasures I can assure you that Belmarsh provides ample educational opportunities for your subjects as Proverbs 22.6 has it, train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
	Observe the shuffling queues at the medicine hatch where inmates gather their prescriptions not for daily use but for the horizon expanding experience of a big day out all at once.
	You will also have the opportunity to pay your respects to my late friend Manuel Santos, a gay man facing deportation to Bolsonaro's Brazil, who took his own life just eight yards from my cell using a crude rope fashioned from his bedsheets, his exquisite tenor voice now silenced forever.
	Venture further into the depths of Belmarsh and you will find the most isolated place within its walls.
	Healthcare, or Hellcare as its inhabitants lovingly call it.
	Here you will marvel at sensible rules designed for everyone's safety such as the prohibition of chess whilst permitting the far less dangerous game of checkers.
	Deep within Hellcare lies the most gloriously uplifting place in all Belmarsh, nay the whole of the United Kingdom.
	The sublimely named Belmarsh End of Life Suite.
	Listen closely and you may hear the prisoner's cries of brother I'm gonna die in here.
	A testament to the quality of both life and death within your prison.
	But fear not, for there is beauty to be found within these walls.
	Feast your eyes upon the picturesque crows nesting in the razor wire, and the hundreds of hungry rats that call Belmarsh home.
	And if you come in the spring, you may even catch a glimpse of the ducklings laid by the wayward mallards within the prison grounds.
	But don't delay, for the ravenous rats ensure their lives are fleeting.
	I implore you, King Charles, to visit His Majesty's prison, Belmarsh, for it is an honour befitting a king.
	As you embark upon your reign, may you always remember the words of the King James Bible, blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy, that's Matthew 5-7, and may mercy be the guiding light of your kingdom, both within and without the walls of Belmarsh, your most devoted subject to Julian Assange.
	God.
	It's pretty heavy.
	It's heavy.
	The thing that you were talking about in the presentation earlier, you know, you have nothing against necessarily King Charles or any of the royal family.
	They're just people.
	They're just born into this in the same way that we're born into our lives.
	Well, Julian Assange wasn't born into that life.
	He was put into that life.
	He was put away illegally for something that shouldn't be illegal, what he shouldn't be there for at all.
	And so it's an interesting way to, you know, an interesting counterpoint to what we're kind of talking about here.
	Yes, we're all put in various lives.
	We're born into this.
	You're either born to be a royal or you're born to be a normal peasant.
	Or your Julian Assange who does something which is legal and gets put away for the rest of his life.
	It's cruel.
	It's so cruel.
	It's cruel and it's illegal and it's not unrelated to the ceremonies that we witness whether it's Biden appearing in Poland to talk about Ukraine lit in blue and yellow as if war is a spectacle and entertainment.
	The business of power is war.
	The enactment of that power is violence.
	It will always be violence, whether it's the violation of Assange's rights or the ongoing violence required to sustain the military-industrial complex.
	But to make sure this is so, Julian Assange, may he be freed soon.
	May he be freed soon.
	May the people in positions of power see the negligence of their current stance and release Julian Assange, and you should participate in that.
	Spurring that on in any way that you can, and we'll find ways that we can help Stella, his wife, and the leader of the campaign with that campaign.
	But so we don't end, let's not end on too dour of a note, because we're meant to have a bit of a laugh, aren't we, for God's sake?
	Julian Assange wouldn't want us going down on a bummer.
	I don't mean that in prison parlance, by the way.
	I mean, he literally puts jokes in this letter.
	There's a couple of jokes in there.
	There was one about the rats and stuff, and that was a bit depressing.
	Now let's take a glance and in a minute we're going to go over to locals.
	You should join us in locals where we can read many more of your... some people saying that that letter was heart-wrenching.
	Yeah, it did wrench the old heart, didn't it mate?
	Let's have a look now.
	Jan Hugo, the owner of Australia's largest collection of royal, excuse me, memt... belches and memorabilia.
	But I want you to pay attention to see how many things that are Diana related.
	You can see in the background because I'm going to be asking her about that in a second and I'll be talking to you in a minute.
	Jan Hugo.
	Let's have a look at her on Normal News now.
	Jan Hugo's royal memorabilia collection has long been her crowning achievement, but it's about to be topped.
	We're heading off to the coronation.
	Why is Jan using that picture of King Charles that's based on like a Ralph Steadman satire, the spitting image puppet version, and what are these Diana and Charles slippers that you slide your tootsies into?
	I'm going to ask Jan about those.
	We're in the UK.
	I heard it at eight o'clock in the morning.
	Nine o'clock, I was on the phone to the travel agent.
	By lunchtime, had the house sitters all ready, all the flights, all the accommodation all done.
	Okay, let's have a look at Jan Hugo.
	She's here in the UK right now.
	All right, Jan.
	Hi Russell, how are you?
	I'm good, thanks mate.
	Have you been having a good time at the coronation?
	Did you get enough access?
	What's your best souvenir you've got so far?
	Oh, look, we've had a ball.
	We got parked right at the gates of Buckingham Palace.
	We saw the coach come out and Camilla was on our side, so she waved.
	And I've got a suitcase full of things to take home.
	What do you like about the Royal Family, mate?
	Look, it all started mainly with the history of it all.
	And then, of course, Diana come along and we just adored Diana.
	And she probably was the one that got me hooked.
	Yeah, she got a lot of us hooked, did Diana.
	I'm still not over that.
	Mate, I want to ask you a serious question, I think.
	Firstly, did the BBC bundle you off into a porter cabin and make you miss the best bits?
	No, look, they took us over to the spot where we were supposed to stay for the interview.
	It started to rain, so they then bundled us back to a cabin to keep us dry, and the cabin was closer to the gates.
	Right, so you see enough royal stuff.
	What about though, can I ask you this question?
	And just tell me your honest answer, of course.
	Like, when, you know, you're Australian, Julian Assange is Australian, how do you feel about hearing that appeal by Julian Assange?
	And do you ever think that while royalty is presented as kind of just a bit of a laugh and it's fun and it's glamorous and it's cool, that sometimes it is used to mask power and to make people look I don't really know the answer to that.
	I've never really, you know, thought about it too much politically like you have.
	I've sort of learned a lot since I've turned you on at five o'clock.
	I've learned an awful lot.
	But no, I look at it as more as just being a collector.
	Not so much on the political side of any of it.
	Me and all, sometimes I have things, I can't think like this all the time, I go nuts.
	Like when I'm trying to watch football or whatever, I try not to do me own head in by thinking about it too intentionally, but I do get caught up in it.
	Hey, what bit of Australia are you in?
	We live in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
	New South Wales.
	What are them like, miners and stuff?
	Yes, my husband works in the mines.
	What type of mines, mate?
	At coal mines?
	Yeah, he's coal mining down there.
	Now, I met this person, and this is not a joke, he was known by the name of Pearl Knob, and he'd done diving down there, and he said, with the native folks of Australia, the Aborigines, and it was their custom, if I may say, to keep a pearl somewhere within the private reproductive organ of the male, and he had one, and he showed me it.
	Is this common practice in the nation of Australia, or did I mix with an oddball?
	I think you may have.
	I've never heard of that before.
	That's the first time ever.
	Right, I've been tricked.
	I think so.
	Very much like the one you did on the BBC.
	I just took the BBC's notes and recreated them.
	Word for word verbatim.
	But on the BBC, did they say, I bet, right, I can do the BBC interview.
	You think I'm not mainstream?
	I'll do mainstream.
	Right, on BBC, I bet they said, did you like their outfits?
	Did you like someone's hat or something like that?
	And did you like Penny Mordant having that sword?
	I didn't say that because I saw Jan on the BBC.
	All right, go on then, Jan.
	What was their best?
	And who's better, me or them?
	Say me.
	Oh, definitely you.
	What else would I say?
	Pitch some of your TAT to Jan.
	What TAT?
	You've got some stuff in your house.
	See if Jan might be interested in any of it.
	It's not TAT.
	Sorry, I didn't mean TAT.
	Collectibles.
	Some of my collectibles.
	What, related to the royals?
	Tell Jan some of your collectibles.
	Your royal stuff.
	Have you got your grandmother's biscuits in?
	Oh, I'll tell you, mate.
	I've got some good ones.
	I've got some that they won't be making.
	I've got Fergie and Andrew, like, cups and stuff like that.
	Yeah, but I've got a few of those.
	She's got it.
	I've got like, I've got King Edward and that.
	She's got that.
	Cups, like going back a few years.
	As in King Edward VIII?
	Is it?
	I don't know.
	It's about the one that's the King's... What's the one that's the Queen's mum?
	The Queen's dad, I mean.
	I've got plenty of those too.
	Bloody hell.
	Go on, keep going.
	I'm not going to get in a memorabilia contest.
	You said you'd win in a contest.
	You told me earlier you'd win in a contest with Jan.
	You've sent me into a shit fight armed with a fart, my man.
	And that doesn't surprise me, the way you spend your barbecue Fridays.
	What about the Andrew thing you've got?
	Go on.
	All right, do you know what I think?
	Some of my... All right, I had a Royal Daughton Charles and Die.
	Like, little blue plate like that.
	Yes.
	Got plenty of Charles and Diana.
	There's a whole room full of Diana and Charles.
	I did, yes.
	Until I met Camilla.
	And I will say, she's a lovely person.
	Miller and I will say she's a lovely person. Don't be swayed for God's sake Jan. No she's really really nice.
	No she's cool she's nice she's a human being I've got mates that are mates with her and they say
	she's well nice of course she is human being she's a child of God I love all of God's children.
	What's your best bit of memorabilia both from an expense perspective and from just your favourite you know.
	Oh, gee, there's so many pieces that I love.
	You know, there's so many royal gold figurines.
	I want you to imagine there's a fire, not in Australia, because I know that's a terrible evocative issue for the Australians, because you have them too bloody often, frankly.
	While you're here in England, you've bought your cherished pieces here.
	There's a fire, and it's the fault of, like, just, I don't know, a negligent Gas Board official probably working for a terrorist organisation.
	We don't need the backstory of the fire.
	In the fire, you have to grab your most cherished piece.
	You've only time for one.
	Jan, I urge you, with God as my witness, what is it?
	Look, I don't know.
	We had a fire probably two years ago.
	It was five houses away.
	The fire brigade said, quick, get in there, get ready to pack up in case you've got to get out.
	And I ran inside and took one look and threw my arms up and went, oh my God, I don't know where to start.
	Where did you start?
	I can't even answer.
	We left a lot of it.
	You're a nihilist!
	Jan, you've got to pick one.
	Look, I saw up on there some plates of Diana.
	Why do you use that Prince Charles head that's a satire of him?
	That's a mask that I got from England last time we were here.
	It's just put over a mannequin to make it look like Charles.
	Charles, did you?
	No, it's not Charles.
	I'm just saying it's spoofing him.
	Oh, right.
	It's spoofing him.
	Sounded like you were saying you thought it was Charles.
	Jan, have you seen the adult entertainment toys that are available to look like Kate or the other one that Harry's married to, Meghan?
	No, I have not.
	There are them.
	And would you consider that or is that bad taste?
	Yeah, I don't think I would put those in the cabinet for everybody to see.
	No.
	You're right.
	It's bad taste.
	I shouldn't even ask that.
	I don't know.
	That's him pushing me into weird territory.
	All right.
	Do you think we've done a good job of this?
	Is it better than the BBC?
	Oh, definitely.
	You're there.
	I love you, Jan.
	Thanks, mate.
	Thanks for coming on and thanks for spending a bit of time helping us get over the horrible tragedy of Julian Assange's illegal imprisonment with a bit of lightness and a bit of fun.
	Okay.
	Thanks for having us on.
	See you later, Jan.
	Bye-bye, mate.
	Take care.
	Bye.
	See you later.
	Bye-bye.
	I like Jan, don't you?
	She's absolutely adorable.
	Oh, don't go straight to the sex dolls.
	Who's done that in the gallery?
	They've gone straight to the sex dolls!
	For God's sake, should we go look?
	We better go over to Locals, right?
	Now, if you're watching us on Rumble now, go on to Locals.
	It's still free, it's just you're a member of a community where we get... I don't know what the advantage of it is.
	We can give you paid content.
	I think that's the point of it, innit?
	Why are you looking at me like that for?
	No, I was just... It was a very entertaining... About Jan?
	Yeah, Jan.
	This is about Jan!
	You and Jan.
	That's probably the last thing she does before she leaves this country.
	She had a lovely time.
	Why did I ask her about Julian Assange and the sex dolls?
	Get out!
	I went mad!
	Yeah, a little bit.
	We've got RFK on the show tomorrow if you've got any questions for him.
	The RFK is coming on this week.
	When is RFK coming on?
	Tomorrow.
	We've got RFK tomorrow.
	They're asking in the chat.
	Pride Faults.
	Mr. Bean's sex toy.
	I can't even think of a context for that.
	Tomorrow on Locals.
	That's why to be on Locals.
	Check this.
	If you're a member of the Locals community, not only can you join us now for additional chat with another Australian, Hugh Rimmington from 10 First News.
	We're going to talk about mainstream media.
	Don't grin, gal.
	I'm trying my hardest here.
	Right.
	You can also join the RFK chat live.
	That means Soobz will have to be with me to pass on your questions.
	Proper questions.
	Don't be silly.
	Lots of crap.
	He, Gareth Roy, my sinecure non-screen assistant, comes out with mad questions where I'm boasting about my Andrew Tupperware.
	Prince Andrew ashtray, for God's sake.
	Shouldn't be using an ashtray, you couldn't smoke if you're underage.
	Hey, come on.
	Listen, why don't you press the red button on your screen to join us on Locals Baby.
	On tomorrow's show, we're doing a deep presentation on Ukraine and the facts behind the US government's reasons for increased military aid.
	Oh, is that those war games?
	Oh, that war games one's well funny.
	Also, we've got Professor Max Abrams, an international security expert, talking about the Kremlin drone attack.
	But also, we're going to be quite light-hearted.
	False flag or not?
	Is it a false flag?
	Let me know in the chat if it's a false flag.
	Jan, the Kremlin attack, was it a false flag?
	I don't know about that, mate.
	I'm just much more interested in collecting stuff for a bit of light-hearted fun.
	Why not?
	It's not like you have to spend all your own time banging your head against the wall.
	No.
	Is it?
	Is it?
	You don't actually have to.
	All right, join us over on Locals.
	Get over there now.
	Press the red button on your screen.
	And then if you're a member of Locals, you'll be joining us for the RFK thing.
	Join us tomorrow, not for more of the same, we wouldn't insult you with that, but for more of the different.
	Until then, stay free baby!
	Many Switching Switch On, Switch Off. Many Switching Switch On, Switch Off.
