- 0:08Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Friday, the twentieth of September twenty
- 0:12Speaker 1: twenty four, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Delighted to be joined today
- 0:19Speaker 1: by Debbie Evans, and we've also got Mark Anderson coming
- 0:23Speaker 1: in on a link from the United States. So theme
- 0:27Speaker 1: really of our news today, which as always has come
- 0:30Speaker 1: together due to the individual work of the presenters for
- 0:34Speaker 1: today's news, is really on the subject to the state,
- 0:37Speaker 1: how it is working, how it's deceiving people, and a
- 0:42Speaker 1: little bit of what the real agenda.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Is.
- 0:44Speaker 1: No better place to start than have a look at
- 0:47Speaker 1: the Labor Party and the sorts of images that they're
- 0:52Speaker 1: showing very strongly. So here we are be part of change,
- 0:56Speaker 1: join Labor and together we can change Britain. But of
- 1:00Speaker 1: course they don't say changing from what to what, and
- 1:04Speaker 1: this is extremely important. The Labor website just full of
- 1:09Speaker 1: these images. Here's Starmer looking particularly bland and authoritarian, and
- 1:17Speaker 1: it simply says change. But what on earth are they
- 1:20Speaker 1: talking about, because it's obvious that they're not actually declaring
- 1:24Speaker 1: what the change is, that change is going to happen.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And here's another one, where Starmer is in front of
- 1:32Speaker 1: the label change begins. So I'm going to ask our
- 1:35Speaker 1: audience again what is the change that's being planned and implemented.
- 1:41Speaker 1: So how do we dive into this. Well, let's have
- 1:43Speaker 1: a little look at the Labor Party and democracy. Now
- 1:48Speaker 1: this is very simplistic, but I've done it in order
- 1:51Speaker 1: to try and get our audience today thinking about what
- 1:54Speaker 1: they're actually seeing. So, of course, in UK at least,
- 1:58Speaker 1: everything revolves around the big parties Labor and Conservative, and
- 2:02Speaker 1: that party organization is the Beast, which of course ultimately
- 2:07Speaker 1: holds power over choosing and getting people like Stamer into
- 2:12Speaker 1: the position of Prime Minister. Now, hand in glove with
- 2:16Speaker 1: that goes the power of the civil service, and I'm
- 2:19Speaker 1: going to be talking about that a little bit more
- 2:21Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes. But essentially, this is
- 2:24Speaker 1: the power base that the public is shown. We are
- 2:28Speaker 1: led to believe that this forms our representative democracy, where
- 2:34Speaker 1: basically the nation state is working in the best interests
- 2:38Speaker 1: of the public. I believe this is a sham, a
- 2:42Speaker 1: complete sham. And let's bring in the other side of
- 2:45Speaker 1: the coin, which I'm calling the international collective. Let's remember
- 2:50Speaker 1: that funding is the key thing which makes the political
- 2:55Speaker 1: system happen, whether it's in UK or in the United States.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Then we've got very powerful lobbying groups such as the
- 3:04Speaker 1: Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. We've got the European Union,
- 3:09Speaker 1: We've got the World Economic Forum. These are just examples
- 3:13Speaker 1: the powerful United Nations, of course, highly influential labor friends
- 3:18Speaker 1: of Israel, very powerful within the Labor Party. And I'm
- 3:22Speaker 1: just bringing in another example, the Council on Foreign Relations.
- 3:27Speaker 1: But of course there's the Trilateral Commission. There's many others,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and we already know that Starmer has pledged allegiance not
- 3:35Speaker 1: to his nation state but to the international collective, because
- 3:39Speaker 1: he was quite happy to say publicly that he would
- 3:42Speaker 1: prefer working with the World Economic Forum than Westminster any time.
- 3:47Speaker 1: But here's his powerful civil service with a headcount of
- 3:51Speaker 1: over half a million people. They're all broken down into departments,
- 3:56Speaker 1: numbers and categories here. But I'm going to say to
- 3:59Speaker 1: have viewers that it's very clear that this organization has
- 4:03Speaker 1: been hollowed out from the inside, inasmuch as overall it's
- 4:08Speaker 1: been captured by the woke international agenda. We can call
- 4:13Speaker 1: it woke fascism because the corporates are in there as well.
- 4:17Speaker 1: But if you look down the contents of this statistical
- 4:20Speaker 1: bulletin on the civil service, you see that everything is
- 4:25Speaker 1: being looked at in detail. Sex, age, ethnicity, excuse me, disability,
- 4:31Speaker 1: sexual orientation are very big one. Religion and belief. Surprisingly,
- 4:36Speaker 1: over fifty percent of the civil service say they're Christian,
- 4:40Speaker 1: but of course that's not reflected by the activities of
- 4:43Speaker 1: the state. And then if we go in a different direction,
- 4:47Speaker 1: we can bring in that labor system again. But if
- 4:49Speaker 1: we have a look at the funding, A big thanks
- 4:52Speaker 1: to politics dot co dot uk that did a really
- 4:55Speaker 1: good analysis and I encourage you to go and see that.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Here's some of the sums of money put in a
- 5:01Speaker 1: million from Ecotricity Limited, seven hundred thousand from Martin Taylor.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I just picked out one person. This is Danny lou Thompson.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Now could be somebody with a duplicant name, but I'm
- 5:15Speaker 1: guessing it isn't. But all we're just showing is here
- 5:19Speaker 1: is a person linked ultimately with investment management. I would
- 5:23Speaker 1: say that's pretty close to hedge funds. And then when
- 5:26Speaker 1: we look at that organization, we're into Quadrature's Climate Foundation
- 5:33Speaker 1: So this would represent a very powerful lobbying group for
- 5:36Speaker 1: this sort of policy into the Labor Party. So if
- 5:40Speaker 1: we've got an international change agenda being unleashed on UK
- 5:45Speaker 1: we've got people pumping money into the Labor Party effectively
- 5:49Speaker 1: that controls it. What sort of people have we got
- 5:52Speaker 1: in the Labor Party. Well, we know Starmer and we
- 5:56Speaker 1: mentioned Lammy the Foreign Secretary on Monday, but let's bring
- 6:00Speaker 1: him back on screen.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Putin said Russian Basically, Putin said, don't send tanks. We
- 6:07Speaker 3: sent them. Putin said, don't send any missiles. We sent them.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Putin threatens every few months to use nuclear weapons. It's
- 6:15Speaker 3: totally unaccepted. We won't be bullied by Putin, shameless shameless
- 6:21Speaker 3: grand side standing.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Well, the point I'm making here is he's mocking a
- 6:29Speaker 1: a foreign leader of importance. The arrogance, the aggression. This
- 6:34Speaker 1: is the sort of people we're dealing with, and they
- 6:37Speaker 1: want the war running because it's in the interests of
- 6:40Speaker 1: the West. Now, finally we've got Western media talking about
- 6:45Speaker 1: the death toll in Ukraine. Let's have a look at
- 6:47Speaker 1: this on screen. And basically we're now got admission from
- 6:53Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal at least of a million now
- 6:56Speaker 1: dead or injured in the Russian Ukrainian War. This is,
- 7:00Speaker 1: in my opinion a pretty accurate figure. Let's expand it
- 7:03Speaker 1: one million, and ultimately this war is to be continued
- 7:10Speaker 1: in the best interests of the West until the last
- 7:14Speaker 1: Ukrainian is dead. More Ukrainian deaths than Russians. The BBC
- 7:19Speaker 1: talking about seventy thousand Russian dead. The figure that's been
- 7:24Speaker 1: talked about widely on the internet about Ukrainian deaths is
- 7:29Speaker 1: three hundred to four hundred thousand, and this would agree
- 7:34Speaker 1: with the figures of about a million dead or injured.
- 7:38Speaker 1: So these are horrific. This is horrific state of affairs.
- 7:41Speaker 1: This is the mentality of people in politics in UK.
- 7:45Speaker 1: And we're focusing on the Labor Party. But the other
- 7:49Speaker 1: thing going on, of course is the police state. We
- 7:52Speaker 1: could call it Starmers, stars Estate and a big thank
- 7:55Speaker 1: you to one of our viewers that spotted this police
- 7:58Speaker 1: job advert. Well, it's about somebody to work Collaby collaboratively
- 8:04Speaker 1: as part of analyst, researchers and police officers working under
- 8:08Speaker 1: the Strategic Intelligence and Briefing Team related to aggravated activism,
- 8:14Speaker 1: strategic protest and significant public order events. Beyonder no illusion.
- 8:20Speaker 1: This is spying on the UK public and anybody speaking
- 8:25Speaker 1: out against the government is now going to come under
- 8:27Speaker 1: this sort of scrutiny with arrests and sentencing accordingly. So
- 8:34Speaker 1: this is the state, this is Starmer's star Z state.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But of course it's got this huge corporatist element which
- 8:41Speaker 1: could also lead it to a description of fascism. Let's
- 8:45Speaker 1: have another look at Lammy in action, this time apparently
- 8:49Speaker 1: on a softer note, but is that true. Let's have
- 8:53Speaker 1: a listen, but we.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Need a hard headed, realist approach towards using all levers
- 9:02Speaker 3: at our disposal, from the diplomatic to the financial. And
- 9:08Speaker 3: I say to you now, these are not contradictions, because
- 9:14Speaker 3: nothing could be more central to the UK's national interests
- 9:20Speaker 3: than delivering global progress on arresting rising temperatures.
- 9:28Speaker 1: So this is all soft and scridgy dialogue. It's all
- 9:31Speaker 1: about saving the world. We are to believe climate change
- 9:36Speaker 1: is real and not in depth political agenda. And we
- 9:40Speaker 1: are to believe that Lammy, the man that wants to
- 9:42Speaker 1: keep the killing going in Ukraine, has got the best
- 9:45Speaker 1: interests of every human being on the planet with regard
- 9:49Speaker 1: to saving us from climate change. Let's have a look
- 9:52Speaker 1: at some of his words in detail. That, of course
- 9:55Speaker 1: was just an excerpt from what he said. But here
- 9:58Speaker 1: we've got some other quotes. I've seen with the Inflation
- 10:01Speaker 1: Reduction Act in the United States, the Green Deal in
- 10:04Speaker 1: the European Union, and the accelerating transition in China, foreign policy,
- 10:10Speaker 1: economic and industrial policy becoming increasingly intertwined. So we're not
- 10:16Speaker 1: going to be able to say what's going on because
- 10:18Speaker 1: we can't say that it's foreign policy or its industrial policy,
- 10:23Speaker 1: or it's economic. It's in a blur. It's in a
- 10:27Speaker 1: snake's wedding is my favorite expression. It's in a knot,
- 10:31Speaker 1: and the public is not going to untie that knot.
- 10:33Speaker 1: And this is because this is strategic globalist agenda, he says,
- 10:38Speaker 1: with Ed Middiband Steve Reid leaning court negotiations on climate
- 10:42Speaker 1: and nature, we have a pair of experience determined negotiation negotiators,
- 10:48Speaker 1: the Middiband brothers, of course, coming from a Marxist background,
- 10:51Speaker 1: and we've got to push all of this under the
- 10:54Speaker 1: UK government in order to keep one point five degrees
- 10:58Speaker 1: alive and finally here to drive forward this cross country, sorry,
- 11:03Speaker 1: this cross government reset even further I am announcing today
- 11:07Speaker 1: that we will appoint new UK Special Representatives for Climate
- 11:11Speaker 1: Change and Nature. And he goes on to say, of
- 11:15Speaker 1: course that he's got Ed Milliburn and Steve Reid to support,
- 11:19Speaker 1: but they're going to reboot internationally, showing that whether you
- 11:23Speaker 1: are from the global North or the global South, we
- 11:26Speaker 1: want to forge genuine partnerships to tackle this crisis together.
- 11:31Speaker 4: So this is.
- 11:32Speaker 1: About the complete reorganization of politics, not only in UK
- 11:37Speaker 1: but also on a world stage, supposedly to protect us
- 11:41Speaker 1: from climate change. But of course with those changes, any
- 11:46Speaker 1: other part of our life, any in each part of
- 11:49Speaker 1: our lives can be changed under this new system. What
- 11:53Speaker 1: is the system? Some people have labeled it as a
- 11:56Speaker 1: woke fascism, which I think is pretty accurate. People are
- 12:00Speaker 1: calling it more a Marxist system. Some people refer to communitarianism.
- 12:05Speaker 1: But whatever you choose to label it as, if you
- 12:09Speaker 1: look at the detail, this system is hostile to the individual,
- 12:14Speaker 1: it's hostile to families, and it's certainly hostile to the
- 12:18Speaker 1: nation states, because the nation state needs to be destroyed
- 12:22Speaker 1: in order to bring in the Great Reset, which is
- 12:26Speaker 1: their ultimate world political agenda. And mark on that note,
- 12:30Speaker 1: let's bring you in because of course you've been reporting
- 12:34Speaker 1: on this from the angle of in particular cities, but
- 12:39Speaker 1: also looking at the dynamics of this globalist agenda. Welcome
- 12:45Speaker 1: and what have you got for us today?
- 12:48Speaker 5: Well, Brian, This past Wednesday, RFK Junior's Children's Health Defense
- 12:56Speaker 5: HDTV put out a program called Break the Stile the
- 13:00Speaker 5: UN's One World Government and the who's One Health Agenda.
- 13:05Speaker 5: And one of the broad themes that was carried out
- 13:09Speaker 5: in this and I wasn't able to cover the whole thing,
- 13:11Speaker 5: but I did pick up on a couple key speakers.
- 13:14Speaker 5: One of the broad themes was while they're worried about
- 13:17Speaker 5: the vaccination regime, while they're worried about medical tyranny, they're
- 13:21Speaker 5: really concerned about the overarching political tyranny that's needed to
- 13:26Speaker 5: enforce medical tyranny. So therefore, seeding power or delegating power
- 13:32Speaker 5: to the UN and the WHO was roundly criticized, and
- 13:38Speaker 5: this is a list of the speakers. The two I
- 13:40Speaker 5: covered were Sabello Sabanda of South Africa and doctor Ostried
- 13:45Speaker 5: Stuckelberger of Switzerland. And the narrative here at the beginning
- 13:49Speaker 5: is what if the UN and the WHO are being
- 13:51Speaker 5: used to build a technocratic government over our world where
- 13:55Speaker 5: we lose the right to free speech and decision making.
- 13:57Speaker 5: This week Join and Empowering Online event cleverly countering two things,
- 14:03Speaker 5: countering the UN Summit of the Future and countering the
- 14:07Speaker 5: who's One Health Congress, both of which start today. In
- 14:12Speaker 5: terms of their preliminary programs, Our power to the People's
- 14:16Speaker 5: Summit include informative strategies and how we can take back
- 14:19Speaker 5: our freedoms from unelected globalist agendas and their accomplices nationally,
- 14:25Speaker 5: and we'll move on from there. This was shown this
- 14:29Speaker 5: past Monday on UK column somemmat of the Future and
- 14:32Speaker 5: as it indicates, the action days the startup stuff starts
- 14:36Speaker 5: as of today. The whole thing runs through September twenty third,
- 14:39Speaker 5: counting the Summit itself will move on. And this is
- 14:44Speaker 5: the other plank. The One Health World Congress, as noted,
- 14:48Speaker 5: starts today Cape Town, South Africa, and it includes of
- 14:51Speaker 5: course the WHO, the UN Environmental Program and two other
- 14:55Speaker 5: UN related entities, and so everything is really kicking off.
- 15:00Speaker 5: But one thing I've learned as I covered this was
- 15:03Speaker 5: they seem to be falling behind a bit on achieving
- 15:06Speaker 5: the sustainable development goals and some other matters. The One
- 15:10Speaker 5: Health Congress starting today in South Africa. I could get
- 15:14Speaker 5: into a lot of it. This is just shown that people,
- 15:17Speaker 5: so people can look it up later to read more details.
- 15:22Speaker 5: But anyway, the bottom part says that this bills on
- 15:25Speaker 5: the success of the seventh World One Health Congress that
- 15:29Speaker 5: was held back in twenty twenty two in Singapore, and
- 15:32Speaker 5: therefore this year's event will bring together one health stakeholders
- 15:36Speaker 5: ranging from science researchers, policymakers, representatives of international institutions, civil society, etc.
- 15:43Speaker 5: From the private sector around the world. And one of
- 15:46Speaker 5: the things left out of this, of course is the
- 15:48Speaker 5: general public. And the presenters at the Children's Health Defense
- 15:52Speaker 5: program took issue with that, and we'll continue to describe
- 15:56Speaker 5: what went down at that program. Sibello to hear, he
- 16:00Speaker 5: had a lot to say. He's a lawyer and advocate
- 16:03Speaker 5: of the High Court of South Africa and he notably
- 16:06Speaker 5: has worked with the UN's Indigenous People's Council. The photos
- 16:10Speaker 5: from this event are all original screenshots by me. He
- 16:14Speaker 5: addressed the Declaration on Future Generations, which is an offshoot
- 16:19Speaker 5: of the Summit of the Future that I mentioned as
- 16:21Speaker 5: this slide shows, and this is the most recent version
- 16:26Speaker 5: of the Declaration on Future Generations, and these first three planks,
- 16:30Speaker 5: Brian kind of laid the groundwork for what this is
- 16:33Speaker 5: all about. And I put the link with this and
- 16:35Speaker 5: that'll be in the show notes, so people can read
- 16:38Speaker 5: the whole thing if they want to. But these first
- 16:40Speaker 5: three planks are very fundamental. We the heads of State
- 16:43Speaker 5: and Government and high representatives having met at the Summit
- 16:47Speaker 5: of the Future at the UN Headquarters on twenty two
- 16:52Speaker 5: and twenty three September twenty twenty four, that's coming up.
- 16:54Speaker 5: Of course, they're looking ahead, reaffirming our commitments to the
- 16:58Speaker 5: purposes and principles of the Charter of the UN, the
- 17:01Speaker 5: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as our respective
- 17:05Speaker 5: obligations they say, under international law, and also reaffirming our
- 17:10Speaker 5: commitments to the twenty thirty Agenda for Sustainable Development, including
- 17:14Speaker 5: the twenty twenty three SDG Summit Political Declaration, and our
- 17:19Speaker 5: pledge to Future Generations as set out inter elia in
- 17:23Speaker 5: the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. So the mention
- 17:28Speaker 5: there Brian, of the Charter of the UN and the
- 17:31Speaker 5: other entity the other UN documents. One thing that needs
- 17:35Speaker 5: to be mentioned really clearly is those documents have always
- 17:38Speaker 5: regarded human rights as being revocable. They're conditional. They're just
- 17:43Speaker 5: privileges that are doled out from the state to the
- 17:46Speaker 5: people that can be revoked at any time. That's inherent
- 17:49Speaker 5: in the language of the Charter of the UN and
- 17:52Speaker 5: other documents and other UN protocols. Anyway, in terms of
- 17:58Speaker 5: the the Sustainable Development Political Declaration, this is from a
- 18:04Speaker 5: UN press conference or excuse me, press release, and this
- 18:08Speaker 5: SDG Summit Political Declaration going back to twenty twenty three.
- 18:13Speaker 5: It gets into a lot of things. It says here
- 18:16Speaker 5: the adoption of the ten page document by the heads
- 18:19Speaker 5: of state and government and high representatives gathered at the
- 18:23Speaker 5: UN in New York back in twenty twenty three in
- 18:25Speaker 5: September of that year. That came at a critical juncture
- 18:28Speaker 5: as global crises, including armed conflict, adverse climate impacts, and
- 18:33Speaker 5: the lingering effects of the COVID nineteen pandemic threaten the
- 18:37Speaker 5: achievement get that threatened the achievement of the Sustainable Development
- 18:40Speaker 5: Goals by twenty thirty, and the Secretary General Antonio Guterres
- 18:45Speaker 5: went on to say this brand the Sustainable Development Goals
- 18:49Speaker 5: need a global Rescue Plan, and he also noted that
- 18:54Speaker 5: the Sustainable Development goals are at their halfway point to
- 18:57Speaker 5: their deadline, so there's some indication, as I mentioned earlier,
- 19:01Speaker 5: that this is falling behind once again because it used
- 19:03Speaker 5: to be called Agenda twenty twenty one something like that,
- 19:08Speaker 5: so they've had to move the goalpost several times now.
- 19:12Speaker 5: The Rio Declaration that I mentioned just moments ago goes
- 19:16Speaker 5: all the way back to nineteen ninety two, as this
- 19:18Speaker 5: slide shows, and that was known as the Earth Summit,
- 19:23Speaker 5: and we mentioned that with regards to Steven Rockefeller recently
- 19:26Speaker 5: on the column. And moving on from there, we have
- 19:31Speaker 5: a little bit more from Sabelo Sabanda, and he noted
- 19:36Speaker 5: there are agencies run by people, he said this during
- 19:39Speaker 5: these Children's Health Defense program this past Wednesday, there are
- 19:43Speaker 5: agencies run by people who have not been voted in
- 19:46Speaker 5: by any one of us. And as he said that,
- 19:50Speaker 5: he focused on Preamble eleven of the document I mentioned
- 19:55Speaker 5: a few minutes ago, the Declaration of the Future. Preamble
- 20:00Speaker 5: eleven talks about to build a stronger, more effective and
- 20:05Speaker 5: resilient multilateral system with the United Nations at its core,
- 20:10Speaker 5: and Sabello took issue with this showing or believing and
- 20:14Speaker 5: explaining that is that he sees a lot of un
- 20:17Speaker 5: consolidation of power in the works, and he believes that
- 20:21Speaker 5: plank of that declaration proves that. He went on to say,
- 20:26Speaker 5: though in a more reassuring tone, that the people are
- 20:30Speaker 5: not well aware of how they've been empowered by their
- 20:34Speaker 5: constitutions and their laws. So the US Constitution, other constitutions
- 20:39Speaker 5: of other countries, He's saying, the laws of other countries
- 20:42Speaker 5: do provide some shield, some protection, but the people need
- 20:46Speaker 5: to become more knowledgeable of how that works and what
- 20:49Speaker 5: it consists of, and they need to work harder to
- 20:51Speaker 5: become more informed about what the UN and the WHR
- 20:55Speaker 5: are doing to consolidate their power to try and achieve
- 20:58Speaker 5: these SDGs by twenty thirty, even though they may be
- 21:01Speaker 5: falling behind. So the other speaker I covered doctor A
- 21:05Speaker 5: Stried Stupelberger. She also has some UN affiliation high level
- 21:10Speaker 5: international expert for United Nations agencies, bilateral institutions and for
- 21:15Speaker 5: the European Commission. She's an interdisciplinary scientist at the University
- 21:19Speaker 5: of Geneva and Lussan and Switzerland. And she asked the
- 21:23Speaker 5: question what's wrong with the pack to the future. Her
- 21:27Speaker 5: answer to that question was it'll transform global governance and
- 21:30Speaker 5: turbocharge the UN sustainable development goals for a common digital future.
- 21:36Speaker 5: And she said, yes, it's normal to have an annual
- 21:38Speaker 5: September UN meeting, though she disagrees with the procedure and
- 21:41Speaker 5: the content and the media, of course is a mouthpiece
- 21:45Speaker 5: for the UN's One World Governance and one World Health
- 21:48Speaker 5: quote end quote. But what's not normal is that the
- 21:52Speaker 5: loop of discussion is closed tighter than ever before, and
- 21:55Speaker 5: she said the UN is quote violating its own instruments
- 21:59Speaker 5: end quote. We have not given consent. I repeat, we
- 22:02Speaker 5: have not given consent to transfer power of our governments
- 22:06Speaker 5: to the UN, nor for our governments to decide or
- 22:10Speaker 5: to make their decisions at the UN. And she added
- 22:13Speaker 5: there's a high tech drive that the people have not
- 22:15Speaker 5: accepted or consented to in high technology, including AI, and
- 22:19Speaker 5: the people need to be enabled, she said, to opt
- 22:23Speaker 5: out of this planned digital world. So those were the
- 22:27Speaker 5: most salient points I believe, Brian, of this past Wednesday's program,
- 22:31Speaker 5: and it comes at a very timely moment to counter
- 22:34Speaker 5: with the UN and who are doing today right as
- 22:38Speaker 5: these summits kick off and so with that, I believe
- 22:42Speaker 5: I have a couple of short announcements.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Mark, I just wanted to say that what wonderful observations
- 22:48Speaker 1: Boyce Abello Sabanda that he's pointing out that people need
- 22:53Speaker 1: to wake up and understand the protections of their own
- 22:57Speaker 1: constitution and constitutional structure. This is very, very important. And
- 23:03Speaker 1: I believe you've just got a little extra segment here
- 23:05Speaker 1: on smart cities.
- 23:08Speaker 5: Yeah, there's an AV program coming up next month. I
- 23:11Speaker 5: believe it's on October tenth, where I'll be doing another
- 23:14Speaker 5: presentation on smart cities and global cities. But we don't
- 23:17Speaker 5: want to let these people rest for one second. We
- 23:20Speaker 5: want to keep a very close eye on them, very
- 23:21Speaker 5: well ahead of time. So the Global Parliament of Mayors
- 23:25Speaker 5: and the Smart City Expo World Congress are teaming up
- 23:28Speaker 5: November five through seven in Barcelona. This slide is from
- 23:32Speaker 5: the Global Parliament of Mayors and the next slide is
- 23:35Speaker 5: from the Smart City Expo World Congress itself, the event
- 23:40Speaker 5: for Better Cities they claim again November five through seven
- 23:43Speaker 5: in Barcelona, Spain. And this will be included in my
- 23:46Speaker 5: AV program and when it actually comes up and happens,
- 23:49Speaker 5: I'll be covering that as well, Brian, So back to you.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Okay, well, thank you very much for that analysis. Very good, Debbie.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Let's bring you in because of course nature has become
- 24:02Speaker 1: such an interesting word. Should we trust Lammy when he's
- 24:07Speaker 1: talking about the word nature?
- 24:10Speaker 6: Oh well, good afternoon everyone, and yet well spotted Brian.
- 24:13Speaker 6: It's the word nature because everyone's focusing on the word climate.
- 24:17Speaker 6: And where are all our politicians. They've only just come
- 24:20Speaker 6: back from summer holidays and now they're all at the conferences,
- 24:22Speaker 6: which is where David Lammy. I'm presuming he's going to
- 24:26Speaker 6: be as well. But it doesn't mean to say there's
- 24:28Speaker 6: nothing happening. And back on the thirtieth of August, we
- 24:32Speaker 6: reported on the news about tradeable energy quotas, which really
- 24:36Speaker 6: means carbon rationing. But how are they going to introduce
- 24:40Speaker 6: this carbon rationing to us?
- 24:41Speaker 2: All?
- 24:42Speaker 6: Well, I want to introduce you to alex Sobell. He's
- 24:45Speaker 6: a labor MP for Leeds Central and Headingly. He's married
- 24:49Speaker 6: with two kids and his background is social enterprise.
- 24:52Speaker 7: He's set up.
- 24:53Speaker 6: The net zero or Parliamentary Group to help secure low
- 24:56Speaker 6: carbon and he was Shadow Minister for Nature Recovery. There's
- 25:01Speaker 6: that word again. Nature recovery. But he's gone on to
- 25:04Speaker 6: do great things. He's not actually in the government at
- 25:06Speaker 6: the moment, which is interesting. However, he's gone on to
- 25:09Speaker 6: do great things. And here he is being awarded with
- 25:12Speaker 6: the prestigious Nature two thirty award. There he is pictured
- 25:16Speaker 6: with none other than Chris Packham. But let's listen to
- 25:19Speaker 6: him putting a question to the Leveling Up Secretary only
- 25:23Speaker 6: recently in April. Now he speaks quite quickly and he's
- 25:26Speaker 6: quite passionate, but he's talking about zero carbon homes.
- 25:30Speaker 7: Have a listen, today's a birthday.
- 25:33Speaker 8: The government shoots a zero carbon homestand and then scrapped it,
- 25:36Speaker 8: the cod sable homes and then scrapped it. We now
- 25:39Speaker 8: have a few home centerfized support. But local authorities such
- 25:42Speaker 8: as leads, want to go above in planning policy to
- 25:44Speaker 8: higher standards. Why will the sexual state not allow leads
- 25:48Speaker 8: to build even better zero carbon homes?
- 25:56Speaker 7: Hmmm, better zero carbon homes.
- 25:58Speaker 6: Well, shortly after that he brought up the Climate and
- 26:01Speaker 6: Nature Bill, which is a private member's bill. Now this
- 26:04Speaker 6: was only brought out on in May this year. Now,
- 26:07Speaker 6: who's heard of the Climate Nature Bill? Because I'll explain
- 26:11Speaker 6: why you haven't heard about it in a minute, but
- 26:13Speaker 6: when we look further into it, let's look at the
- 26:15Speaker 6: passage of the bill. So currently at the moment it's
- 26:18Speaker 6: only in the first stage. However, if we look further
- 26:21Speaker 6: into the bill, we can see that what the aim
- 26:24Speaker 6: of the bill is to do is to get the
- 26:27Speaker 6: UK to achieve.
- 26:28Speaker 7: Climate and nature. There's that word again.
- 26:30Speaker 6: Nature targets to give the Secretary of State a duty
- 26:34Speaker 6: to implement a strategy to achieve this target. So what
- 26:40Speaker 6: is this duty of the Secretary of State. So the
- 26:43Speaker 6: duty of the Secretary of State basically is, within twelve
- 26:45Speaker 6: months of passing of this act, they have to lay
- 26:48Speaker 6: before Parliament a strategy to limit the UK carbon dioxide emissions. Well,
- 26:53Speaker 6: I guess that probably includes us, as we're humans and
- 26:56Speaker 6: we emit carbon dioxide, and we're also going to be
- 26:59Speaker 6: ending the extraction of exploration and fossil fuels as rapidly
- 27:04Speaker 6: as possible to minimize damage to ecosystems. But the bill
- 27:08Speaker 6: goes on to say that we should prioritize avoidance the
- 27:13Speaker 6: loss of nature. We have to adhere to mitigation and
- 27:17Speaker 6: conservation hierarchy. Now I'm not quite sure who those are
- 27:21Speaker 6: in the hierarchy, although I think we might come on
- 27:23Speaker 6: to find out. But the strategy must not have a
- 27:27Speaker 6: negative impact on poorer communities or deprived communities or young people.
- 27:32Speaker 6: But they do note here that financially they are going
- 27:36Speaker 6: to need to support those whose livelihoods will be affected.
- 27:39Speaker 6: So could we be looking at the introduction of universal
- 27:41Speaker 6: basic income, I wonder as a form of compensation. So
- 27:45Speaker 6: how do the public get involved? Because this is really important.
- 27:47Speaker 7: Isn't it?
- 27:48Speaker 6: How the public gets involved? Well, within three months of
- 27:51Speaker 6: the passing of this act, apparently they're going to set
- 27:54Speaker 6: up a Climate and Nature Assembly where they're going to
- 27:57Speaker 6: sample the UK population. Now, is assembly is going to
- 28:01Speaker 6: be considering expert advice. We'll come on to that later
- 28:04Speaker 6: in the news and see what expert advice they're going
- 28:07Speaker 6: to be given. But they're going to need to have
- 28:09Speaker 6: a majority of sixty six percent. Interesting statistic there, sixty
- 28:13Speaker 6: six percent a majority to rule on what's going to
- 28:16Speaker 6: be included in the strategy for the rest of us
- 28:19Speaker 6: and who does it cover? Will it covers all of us?
- 28:21Speaker 6: The UK, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the whole country. And
- 28:27Speaker 6: here's the bill itself. We've got Yeah, there you go.
- 28:30Speaker 6: It's covering all of us, so every single person in
- 28:33Speaker 6: the UK watching it's applicable to us. Here's the bill,
- 28:36Speaker 6: which was introduced on the twenty first of the third
- 28:39Speaker 6: twenty four by Alex Sobel, who you've just seen. And
- 28:42Speaker 6: then you've got another few familiar names, Ed Davey, Catherine Lucas,
- 28:48Speaker 6: the normal the normal bunch that you would think would
- 28:51Speaker 6: be involved in a green agenda.
- 28:53Speaker 7: But who are zero Hour?
- 28:55Speaker 6: Because this Climate and Nature Bill has been abbreviated to
- 28:59Speaker 6: the can Bill CAN. Why do we need the CAN Bill?
- 29:04Speaker 6: Why is this so important? Well I can tell you
- 29:07Speaker 6: why because in the next slide we're going to show
- 29:10Speaker 6: you that the government's actually been very deceptive and duplicitous,
- 29:13Speaker 6: I believe, because this was formerly known as the Climate
- 29:17Speaker 6: and Ecology Bill, but almost by stealth, they've now called
- 29:22Speaker 6: it the Climate and Nature Bill. And they note that
- 29:24Speaker 6: this is the only proposed legislation before the United Kingdom
- 29:28Speaker 6: Parliament that ensures a comprehensive, joined up approach to emergencies.
- 29:34Speaker 6: So who have they got, Well, they've got one hundred
- 29:36Speaker 6: and seventy mp supporting them, they've got sixty three peers
- 29:39Speaker 6: supporting them. They've got the largest cross party environmental group
- 29:44Speaker 6: in Parliament. Not just that, they've got a load of
- 29:46Speaker 6: scientists backing them as well. And here you can see
- 29:49Speaker 6: one thousand plus scientists are calling on MPs to prioritize
- 29:54Speaker 6: the CAN Bill and you'll see a picture of them
- 29:57Speaker 6: outside Parliament, all all very much pro this CAN bill
- 30:03Speaker 6: because they want to fast track it or super turbo
- 30:07Speaker 6: charge it. So how can you be involved in accelerating CAN.
- 30:13Speaker 7: Have a look at the studio from zero hour.
- 30:18Speaker 9: We can prevent catastrophe by shifting to a zero carbon
- 30:21Speaker 9: economy in a way that protects jobs and upgrades our democracy.
- 30:28Speaker 9: That's where the bill comes in. It's been written with
- 30:31Speaker 9: help from top scientists. Now we need Parliament to make
- 30:35Speaker 9: it law and for that it needs the support of
- 30:38Speaker 9: a majority of MPs. The bill will protect and restore forests,
- 30:43Speaker 9: soils and ecosystems. It will require the government to rapidly
- 30:49Speaker 9: reduce our entire carbon footprint. This means taking responsibility for
- 30:54Speaker 9: emissions from imports and dealing with the environmental damage caused
- 30:59Speaker 9: by our supply.
- 31:03Speaker 6: So there you have it, Zerra. There's a longer video online.
- 31:05Speaker 6: Please go and look at it because they're a very
- 31:07Speaker 6: active group. But if you want regular updates and you
- 31:09Speaker 6: want to find out more, then go no further than
- 31:12Speaker 6: looking at Grassroots check In, where they meet every Tuesday
- 31:15Speaker 6: to give you an update.
- 31:16Speaker 7: I'm sure you'll all be flocking.
- 31:18Speaker 1: There, Debbie, thank you very much for that. Well, once
- 31:22Speaker 1: you know where to look for the political agenda, it's
- 31:25Speaker 1: easy to see. And this is what we need to
- 31:27Speaker 1: be saying to our audience. Once you see it, spread
- 31:30Speaker 1: the word, warn other people, and get digging because of
- 31:34Speaker 1: course information you find can be extremely helpful to us
- 31:38Speaker 1: and we can help promote that. Now, I just want
- 31:41Speaker 1: to say that we would like people to spend a
- 31:45Speaker 1: little bit more time on the website. There's a huge
- 31:47Speaker 1: amount of material on the website. Mike has produced this
- 31:51Speaker 1: little interactive to say. Of course, on the website itself
- 31:54Speaker 1: you can see other channels such as X that we're
- 31:58Speaker 1: now working on. There's a lot of information in the website.
- 32:03Speaker 1: If you want to support us, click and there. But
- 32:07Speaker 1: also we're selecting information which we think is important, sometimes
- 32:13Speaker 1: very old articles which are now very relevant or highly
- 32:16Speaker 1: relevant in today's political world, under editor's choice. So you
- 32:21Speaker 1: can have a look there. We've also got a comment section,
- 32:25Speaker 1: and of course where a particular interviews taking place, we're
- 32:30Speaker 1: also enabling people to share it and make comments. So
- 32:34Speaker 1: this is all very important to actually get information out
- 32:39Speaker 1: and to help people stay interested in the material. So
- 32:42Speaker 1: if you used to watching us on another channel and
- 32:45Speaker 1: you just watch the news, we'd encourage you to go
- 32:48Speaker 1: to the website and have a look. And of course
- 32:50Speaker 1: the other key thing is if you do go to
- 32:52Speaker 1: the website, you can choose to make a donation or
- 32:57Speaker 1: to actually join us as a full time member five
- 33:01Speaker 1: pounds a month or fifty pounds a year or five
- 33:04Speaker 1: hundred pounds for a UK Column lifetime membership. And if
- 33:09Speaker 1: you do this is so important because of course this
- 33:12Speaker 1: actually keeps us operating and we want to grow and
- 33:16Speaker 1: expand what we're doing. Class it gives us some reserves
- 33:19Speaker 1: if we're challenged in the future. We're also highlighting the
- 33:23Speaker 1: shop here so you can support us by making purchase
- 33:27Speaker 1: or indeed you can make a health purchase via Clyde
- 33:30Speaker 1: de Carl, who we've been supporting. Now we've got an
- 33:34Speaker 1: interview coming up tomorrow which I think is one of yours, Debbie.
- 33:38Speaker 1: If you can give us a little bit more on
- 33:40Speaker 1: this one, Kelly.
- 33:42Speaker 6: I think nice have lost today there, Brian, because that
- 33:45Speaker 6: was shown yesterday. It's Friday to day, the weekend is
- 33:49Speaker 6: upon us. Yet this is the wonderful Dr Robin Kelly.
- 33:52Speaker 6: He is actually a member of UK column. He's in
- 33:55Speaker 6: New Zealand, trained.
- 33:56Speaker 7: In the UK.
- 33:57Speaker 6: He's how everybody wants a GEP to be. Seriously, if
- 34:01Speaker 6: you don't trust GPS or you don't trust doctors, you're
- 34:04Speaker 6: going to trust this one the presence Doctor Robin Kelly.
- 34:07Speaker 7: Please watch.
- 34:07Speaker 6: It is very uplifting.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for picking me up on that. Of course,
- 34:12Speaker 1: is because I'm not normally doing a Friday, so my
- 34:15Speaker 1: head's usually in a mon A Monday mode. But that's fine. Now.
- 34:19Speaker 1: We also just wanted to put out an add here
- 34:21Speaker 1: for an interview with Ben Rubin and Diane Rasmus and mcaddy.
- 34:27Speaker 1: That's going to be twelve o'clock UK time this coming
- 34:31Speaker 1: Saturday tomorrow even and that'll be on Pattern eighteen substat
- 34:36Speaker 1: dot com, which is Ben Rubin's own channel, so you
- 34:39Speaker 1: might like to have a look at that. Now, let's
- 34:42Speaker 1: go on to the subjects of extreme democracy. Not my words,
- 34:45Speaker 1: as we shall see, but important here that this really
- 34:50Speaker 1: demonstrates that small things by our viewers and supporters can
- 34:54Speaker 1: have a big difference. So I was sent a letter
- 34:57Speaker 1: which one of our viewers had received from the allent
- 35:00Speaker 1: During Institute. If we expand this, it said, you could
- 35:04Speaker 1: be one of thirty two people selected to take part
- 35:07Speaker 1: in a citizens panel on the subject of data and
- 35:11Speaker 1: national security. And this panel will answer the important question
- 35:16Speaker 1: new technologies could change how national security agencies use people's data?
- 35:21Speaker 1: What impact does this have on public attitudes, trust and
- 35:25Speaker 1: expectations around how their data is used? And the panel
- 35:29Speaker 1: has been commissioned by the Center for Emerging Technology and
- 35:32Speaker 1: Security and is a research center center based at the
- 35:36Speaker 1: Allen During Institute, the UK's National Institute for Data Science
- 35:41Speaker 1: and note artificial intelligence. Well, if we read a little
- 35:45Speaker 1: bit more here, we're exploring this question now because new
- 35:49Speaker 1: technology excuse me, new technologies could change how national security
- 35:54Speaker 1: agencies use people's data. Intelligence and law enforcement agencies have
- 36:00Speaker 1: investigatory powers which are used to protect people across the
- 36:03Speaker 1: UK from a range of threats. This means they can
- 36:06Speaker 1: use data in ways other government departments cannot, often by
- 36:11Speaker 1: gathering people's information about their knowledge. It's important that this
- 36:15Speaker 1: is balanced with respect for human rights, including the right
- 36:19Speaker 1: to privacy. So this all sounds wonderful. This is another
- 36:23Speaker 1: part of the document. If we just put that one
- 36:25Speaker 1: back on screen. This is frequently asked questions and it
- 36:30Speaker 1: says that the panel follow and established a democratic process
- 36:34Speaker 1: used all over the world. Well that's a very interesting
- 36:37Speaker 1: statement because we're going to be digging into that a
- 36:40Speaker 1: lot deeper. It brings together a group of people selected
- 36:44Speaker 1: by lottery who broadly represent the entire community. I'm not
- 36:49Speaker 1: feeling encouraged by this so far. It then goes on
- 36:52Speaker 1: to talk about the Alan Turing Institute and the Center
- 36:55Speaker 1: for Emerging Technology again, but it also brings in an
- 36:59Speaker 1: organization called Hopskin. Hopkins van mill is a specialist social
- 37:04Speaker 1: research agencies. And finally here the Sautician Foundation and not
- 37:11Speaker 1: for profit organization that specializes in recruiting for these kinds
- 37:16Speaker 1: of events. And of course Bent Ruben has been talking
- 37:19Speaker 1: about this, but that was brilliant information from one of
- 37:23Speaker 1: our viewers. At the same time, in a conversation with Debbie,
- 37:27Speaker 1: she mentioned this document. It's from Climate Assembly UK the
- 37:33Speaker 1: Path to Net Zero. Let's pop on a little bit
- 37:36Speaker 1: of extra information on screen, and what it's doing is
- 37:39Speaker 1: talking about random stratified sampling done by computer, and it
- 37:45Speaker 1: says once the deadline for responses had passed, the sortitionan
- 37:50Speaker 1: foundation used random stratified sampling by computer to generate a
- 37:57Speaker 1: list of one hundred and ten people to become assembly members.
- 38:02Speaker 1: The computer selected no more than one person from any
- 38:06Speaker 1: single household. And in blue there's a comment supposedly by
- 38:10Speaker 1: a member of the public who said they feel very,
- 38:13Speaker 1: very privileged to take part in this, But of course
- 38:17Speaker 1: what you can see is unaccountable people selecting individuals using
- 38:23Speaker 1: their algorithms and calling this democracy. So if we just
- 38:29Speaker 1: move on a little bit. When I look at documents,
- 38:32Speaker 1: I always go and look at the small print and
- 38:35Speaker 1: buried away in footnotes. Here was a particular gentleman. His
- 38:39Speaker 1: name is Ariel Procacia, and he's been working on this
- 38:45Speaker 1: sort of material with his team at Harvard University and
- 38:49Speaker 1: the Carnegie Mellon University. Let's have a little listen to
- 38:53Speaker 1: this or watch this video clip to see what he's
- 38:57Speaker 1: talking about.
- 39:00Speaker 4: So that the topic of the talk is extreme democracy.
- 39:03Speaker 4: And I want to start with a quote from Kim
- 39:05Speaker 4: and Cin issues an Argentinian kind of politician, a new
- 39:08Speaker 4: kind of politician. She gave a very popular TED talk
- 39:12Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, and in this talk she
- 39:15Speaker 4: quoted Marshall McLuhan was the Canadian professor as saying that
- 39:20Speaker 4: politics is solving today's problems with yesterday's tools. And the
- 39:24Speaker 4: point I want to make is kind of similar, which
- 39:26Speaker 4: is that, you know, the world has really changed in
- 39:29Speaker 4: the last decades with modern technology, but the way we
- 39:32Speaker 4: do democracy hasn't really fundamentally changed for centuries. So it
- 39:37Speaker 4: seems like really a good time to rethink how we
- 39:41Speaker 4: do democracy, in particular the you know, the theme of
- 39:45Speaker 4: the talk is that computer science has a lot to
- 39:47Speaker 4: contribute to this discussion. So I want to argue that,
- 39:50Speaker 4: you know, we should be thinking both about how we
- 39:52Speaker 4: do democracy, the practice of democracy, and also the ways
- 39:56Speaker 4: in which democracy can be applied. So trying to incre
- 40:00Speaker 4: the reach of democracy by thinking about new applications domain
- 40:04Speaker 4: through you could call it democratic thinking and computational thinking.
- 40:08Speaker 4: So I'm going to illustrate this theme through three projects
- 40:11Speaker 4: that we've worked on recently. One is in the space
- 40:14Speaker 4: of liquid democracy, which is a paradigm that allows voters
- 40:18Speaker 4: to delegate their votes, and these delegations are transitive. The
- 40:22Speaker 4: second is going to be participatory budgeting, which is the
- 40:25Speaker 4: idea that the city can allocate its budget by eliciting
- 40:29Speaker 4: preferences from its residents and aggregating them to get a budget.
- 40:34Speaker 4: The third part I call it the virtual democracy. It's
- 40:36Speaker 4: a term that I came up with for the purposes
- 40:38Speaker 4: of this stock. But the idea is that we'll have
- 40:40Speaker 4: will make decisions by having a virtual election among machine
- 40:45Speaker 4: learning models, the free voters, and I'll show you how
- 40:48Speaker 4: we want to use this approach in order to make
- 40:50Speaker 4: ethical decisions in AI. So this is where liquid democracy
- 40:56Speaker 4: comes in. I could say that it's a part of
- 40:58Speaker 4: them that lies between direct democracy and representative democracy. And
- 41:03Speaker 4: the idea is that as a voter, I can either
- 41:05Speaker 4: vote myself directly, or if I feel that I don't
- 41:08Speaker 4: have the time, that I don't have the information, I
- 41:10Speaker 4: can choose to delegate my vote to another voter. And
- 41:14Speaker 4: like I said before, delegations are transitive in the sense
- 41:17Speaker 4: that if A delegates to B and B delegates to C,
- 41:20Speaker 4: C would be able to vote on behalf of both
- 41:22Speaker 4: A and B.
- 41:26Speaker 1: So not to worry extreme democracy. Liquid democracy. These people
- 41:31Speaker 1: have created it they are completely unaccountable. Their computer algorithms
- 41:36Speaker 1: are completely unaccountable. But trust them, they're going to be
- 41:40Speaker 1: selecting us to give them the decision that they wanted
- 41:44Speaker 1: in the first place. Debbie, let's bring you back again,
- 41:47Speaker 1: because you've been really looking at these citizens assemblies and
- 41:51Speaker 1: the dangers, and of course this type of liquid democracy
- 41:55Speaker 1: relies very much on this practice.
- 41:59Speaker 6: I have indeed, and it's going to be a case
- 42:01Speaker 6: of careful what you wish for, because how many of
- 42:03Speaker 6: us are ever going to trust a politician again? So
- 42:06Speaker 6: what better way than to get the citizens to we'll
- 42:12Speaker 6: set the rules. How about we set the rules? Have
- 42:15Speaker 6: a look at this video.
- 42:18Speaker 10: I'm here to say to you, hand on heart that
- 42:21Speaker 10: I did not lie to the House when those statements
- 42:24Speaker 10: were made. They were made in good faith and on
- 42:26Speaker 10: the basis of what I honestly knew and believed at
- 42:30Speaker 10: the time.
- 43:45Speaker 6: So who is it going to be that it's going
- 43:47Speaker 6: to be making the new rules? So I go always
- 43:49Speaker 6: go straight to the UK column website to.
- 43:52Speaker 7: Research, and I found on the website a.
- 43:55Speaker 6: Reference to a wonderful Ian Davis blog actually called sorting Sortician.
- 44:02Speaker 6: This is if you're not a member of the UK column.
- 44:05Speaker 6: You find absolute duels in the forums.
- 44:07Speaker 7: I really would.
- 44:08Speaker 6: Recommend that you join up and have a look. But
- 44:11Speaker 6: if we go further into Ian's article, we can see
- 44:14Speaker 6: that this is a select by lot. This is a
- 44:18Speaker 6: random selection to populate assemblies or to fill political positions,
- 44:24Speaker 6: to to deliberate on issues and to deliver collective judgments.
- 44:29Speaker 6: So this is what Sortition actually means. And he talks
- 44:32Speaker 6: about the Sortition Foundation as being a transatlantic organization with
- 44:36Speaker 6: its offices conveniently in Cambridge and Portland. But back in
- 44:41Speaker 6: two nineteen the BBC were actually reporting on this and
- 44:45Speaker 6: on about how thirty thousand households had suddenly received a
- 44:48Speaker 6: letter inviting them to join a citizen's assembly. World did
- 44:52Speaker 6: you get a letter? And what can the public do
- 44:54Speaker 6: to cut carbon emissions? So did you get a letter?
- 44:59Speaker 6: Well this is litle bit of video. Obviously some people
- 45:02Speaker 6: did have a look.
- 45:04Speaker 11: You could be one of other one hundred of people
- 45:06Speaker 11: selected to take part in the.
- 45:08Speaker 2: UK wide Citizens Assembly on.
- 45:10Speaker 10: How the UK tackled climate change.
- 45:14Speaker 6: So this weekend is going to be about introducing you
- 45:16Speaker 6: to climate change in a thorough way.
- 45:18Speaker 11: It was really exciting to be told I was selected.
- 45:20Speaker 11: It just seemed like a very rare opportunity.
- 45:23Speaker 6: Initially, I wasn't sure what it would be like. I
- 45:26Speaker 6: hadn't done anything.
- 45:27Speaker 7: Like that before.
- 45:28Speaker 5: Perfect I didn't have a clue what zero carbon was.
- 45:34Speaker 6: I didn't know enough about climate change.
- 45:37Speaker 7: I was open to information.
- 45:40Speaker 2: There were so many different perspectives and opinions, so many
- 45:45Speaker 2: people of different ethnicity, different ages.
- 45:50Speaker 1: It was so nice to see, you know, the representation
- 45:54Speaker 1: of the UK.
- 45:55Speaker 2: The fact that you've given up Colin to come here
- 45:58Speaker 2: and take this seriously is of the greatest important.
- 46:02Speaker 11: It felt like the community kind of working together towards
- 46:05Speaker 11: a problem that the whole world needs to face.
- 46:07Speaker 7: To be fair, obviously, at the moment we're all on lockdown.
- 46:11Speaker 7: Moving on to three internet weekends was quite good. We
- 46:14Speaker 7: were still investigating things.
- 46:16Speaker 2: On our own.
- 46:17Speaker 9: I'm not seeing what experts now, but.
- 46:19Speaker 2: We all have opinions.
- 46:20Speaker 7: Everybody's tyson of this creamer air.
- 46:22Speaker 6: Surely most people would want that for their children and
- 46:25Speaker 6: their grandchildren.
- 46:26Speaker 3: Well, if we treat climate change the same way we're
- 46:28Speaker 3: treating coronavirus, then we can't do it.
- 46:31Speaker 9: We all want the government to take heed of our recommendations.
- 46:36Speaker 10: They need to act on it.
- 46:37Speaker 2: But also to act on it fast, so it's.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Not about saying okay, we just keep deliberating over it
- 46:43Speaker 1: over the next one year two years.
- 46:45Speaker 11: They are by law bound to try to get to
- 46:47Speaker 11: this target.
- 46:48Speaker 7: It's quite to be done in a fear and positive way.
- 46:51Speaker 11: So if we don't act now, we're just going to
- 46:53Speaker 11: run out of time and there won't be a few
- 46:55Speaker 11: toure for any books.
- 46:56Speaker 2: And if we can show that we can do it,
- 46:58Speaker 2: then perhaps will follow.
- 47:01Speaker 7: I think somebody has to be a leader.
- 47:06Speaker 6: So we have actually got another piece of video and
- 47:08Speaker 6: I think we'll hold on to that for extra because
- 47:11Speaker 6: there is so much on this, because I want to
- 47:14Speaker 6: go back to look at what Brian was looking at
- 47:16Speaker 6: a minute ago, the path to net zero and this
- 47:20Speaker 6: document here is a joint endeavor between Parliament and people
- 47:24Speaker 6: is written by mel Stride and Darren Jones. But if
- 47:27Speaker 6: we go further on into the report and have a look,
- 47:30Speaker 6: we can see that they're looking at citizens becoming a
- 47:32Speaker 6: crucial or having a crucial role to play. One hundred
- 47:36Speaker 6: and eight Citizens were given the space to understand or
- 47:40Speaker 6: discuss what actions the UK should take. So why is
- 47:45Speaker 6: it important? Well, in the next slide it'll tell you
- 47:49Speaker 6: that the Climate Assembly, the members are actually going to
- 47:52Speaker 6: mirror the voice of the UK population, so that's you
- 47:55Speaker 6: and me.
- 47:56Speaker 7: And they've been.
- 47:57Speaker 6: Busy organizing these weekends in Birmingham. So when you see
- 48:02Speaker 6: what they say that the members say, I mean they
- 48:05Speaker 6: think it's like they've won the lottery. I felt like
- 48:08Speaker 6: I'd won the lottery when I got my letter. I'd
- 48:11Speaker 6: be dafh not to do it. It's amazing to get
- 48:14Speaker 6: the chance to have a stay and influence what may
- 48:16Speaker 6: happen in the future. And I was in the Army
- 48:18Speaker 6: for twenty two years, so I've not got a problem
- 48:21Speaker 6: meeting new people. So this is why it's so important.
- 48:25Speaker 6: But who are they selected from, because you know, Brian's
- 48:29Speaker 6: talked about the Sortition Foundation. Ben has talked about Sortition
- 48:34Speaker 6: as well, and this is being selected by the Sortition Foundation.
- 48:39Speaker 6: And here we've got a quote I think from date
- 48:41Speaker 6: Sir David Attenborough because he's hugely supportive of this. So
- 48:46Speaker 6: he's very grateful to the one hundred and ten. I
- 48:49Speaker 6: think we must have lost two somewhere, but he's grateful
- 48:52Speaker 6: to the one hundred and ten people who came from
- 48:54Speaker 6: all corners of the world to be part of this.
- 48:59Speaker 6: So let's look the stages that you have to go through.
- 49:01Speaker 6: Did you if you've got your letter, you've got the letter,
- 49:04Speaker 6: you've been randomly selected, you're really intrigued, and you've responded
- 49:08Speaker 6: to it. Stage two means that you go through a
- 49:11Speaker 6: computer random so a random stratified sampling done by the computer.
- 49:17Speaker 6: And then in stage three, really it's well, you know,
- 49:20Speaker 6: how would you like to travel and what dates are
- 49:23Speaker 6: you available? So that's the liaison and final replacements. So
- 49:27Speaker 6: let's look at the assembly makeup and look at the
- 49:31Speaker 6: document because it's a very long document, but they'd say
- 49:34Speaker 6: that they're taking people from all sides of the argument.
- 49:36Speaker 6: There's a table there as well that if you go
- 49:39Speaker 6: to the document you can see where the members have
- 49:42Speaker 6: been made up from. And the weekend seem to be
- 49:44Speaker 6: a really jolly affair because they've had three weekends. This
- 49:49Speaker 6: has all been going on behind closed doors, folks. I mean,
- 49:52Speaker 6: I didn't know these things were happening, but they obviously
- 49:55Speaker 6: have been. They had three jolly weekends, but as you
- 49:58Speaker 6: heard before, the fourth weekend was canceled because of lock up,
- 50:01Speaker 6: so they had to do all of their work online.
- 50:05Speaker 6: So there's loads of experts and facilitators that go to
- 50:08Speaker 6: this conference. And please look to the document because there
- 50:10Speaker 6: are so many. But I wanted to see who was
- 50:13Speaker 6: involved from wider society. So who have they brought in? Well,
- 50:16Speaker 6: we've got the Bishop of Salisbury, We've got the president
- 50:20Speaker 6: of the National Farmers' Union, We've got the Secretary General
- 50:23Speaker 6: for the Muslim Council, Martin Lewis from the Money Saving Forum,
- 50:28Speaker 6: the Chief rabbis there, the Archbishop of Westminster's there, the RSPB,
- 50:32Speaker 6: even the CEO of the NHS. So there's a whole
- 50:35Speaker 6: bunch of very varied people. But which organizations are involved?
- 50:39Speaker 6: So we've got three that are involved in cystens assemblies.
- 50:43Speaker 6: We've got the Involved Foundation, and the Involved Foundation actually
- 50:47Speaker 6: produced that piece of video. But should we trust politicians?
- 50:51Speaker 6: They're a public participation charity and apparently they ensure that
- 50:55Speaker 6: we get high quality citizens assembly. Well, I'm not quite
- 50:58Speaker 6: sure how we do that if it's random select but hey,
- 51:00Speaker 6: perhaps someone else will make a comment on that. And
- 51:04Speaker 6: then we've got the Sautition Foundation, which is not for
- 51:06Speaker 6: profit and uses randomly selected people. And then we've got
- 51:10Speaker 6: My Society, which is a not for profit social enterprise.
- 51:14Speaker 7: And they use data. They're very data driven.
- 51:17Speaker 6: So I always like to go to see who's funded this,
- 51:19Speaker 6: who's funded it? Well, it's been funded by the House
- 51:21Speaker 6: of Commons, the ESME, Fairburn Foundation, the European Climate Foundation.
- 51:26Speaker 6: This is such a big topic. I'm only skirting literally
- 51:30Speaker 6: the top of it.
- 51:31Speaker 7: And you'll see.
- 51:31Speaker 6: Rachel Reeves name there. Hasn't she been busy And of
- 51:35Speaker 6: course now she's not part of this.
- 51:36Speaker 7: But she was so b Debbie.
- 51:40Speaker 1: If I just come in very briefly, as you showed
- 51:43Speaker 1: that weekend and the very influential people that are brought in,
- 51:48Speaker 1: my mind was taken right back to the common purpose
- 51:52Speaker 1: technique which I observed and exposed many years ago, when
- 51:58Speaker 1: people were effectively being controlled by being introduced to people
- 52:02Speaker 1: that they would take at their every word. So if
- 52:05Speaker 1: the local chief of police spoke to a small group,
- 52:09Speaker 1: people would believe what he or she said to the
- 52:11Speaker 1: audience on policing. The chief executive from the local council, MPs,
- 52:18Speaker 1: whoever it was, came in. Of course, the audience of
- 52:22Speaker 1: ordinary men and women was highly influenced by the people
- 52:26Speaker 1: brought in. So these, to my mind, are highly controlled interactions.
- 52:32Speaker 1: Once the computer has selected the individuals.
- 52:36Speaker 7: Absolutely one hundred percent.
- 52:37Speaker 6: And perhaps in extra we can talk in a little
- 52:40Speaker 6: bit more detail about these three organizations. We can talk
- 52:44Speaker 6: about involved, we can talk about the Sortition Foundation, but
- 52:47Speaker 6: perhaps we should end this segment really on how this
- 52:51Speaker 6: is going to happen. And if we go right to
- 52:53Speaker 6: the end of the segment, we can look at behavior change,
- 52:58Speaker 6: because that's where this is all coming from, of course,
- 53:01Speaker 6: is behavior change. And you'll see a slide with Professor
- 53:06Speaker 6: Nick Cheater from Warwick Business School, and Professor Nick Chater
- 53:11Speaker 6: is organizing this whole behavior the Climate Change Committee. You
- 53:17Speaker 6: can see his picture there and if you go to
- 53:19Speaker 6: the next slide, he says, and I quote, we the
- 53:23Speaker 6: citizens see new rules as having wide support and adherence.
- 53:28Speaker 6: The public have made decision a public have made decisions
- 53:32Speaker 6: through citizens assemblies and haven't been imposed directly by government.
- 53:39Speaker 6: So there's so much more to come on this. But
- 53:42Speaker 6: basically we're looking at two tier citizenship. Because have you
- 53:45Speaker 6: got a letter?
- 53:46Speaker 7: I haven't.
- 53:48Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible, Debbie, isn't it. It's giving the illusion
- 53:52Speaker 1: that people are actually fully involved in democracy, but the
- 53:57Speaker 1: reality is that they are being controlled. And I note
- 54:00Speaker 1: that in our chat box. One of our audience today
- 54:05Speaker 1: started to talk about the Delphi technique, and I think
- 54:08Speaker 1: that member of the public, whoever you are, was absolutely
- 54:12Speaker 1: on the money, because the Delphi technique is the means
- 54:15Speaker 1: by which the public is controlled in a room to
- 54:19Speaker 1: produce the outcome that the organizers of the event want
- 54:23Speaker 1: in the first place. Mark, let's bring you in. You're
- 54:28Speaker 1: on the subject of unexpected deaths here, But of course
- 54:33Speaker 1: all of that has also happened as a result of
- 54:36Speaker 1: the COVID lockdown policy, which was introduced with a lot
- 54:40Speaker 1: of psychological manipulation of the population. So really, you're showing
- 54:45Speaker 1: us how dangerous these sorts of policies are when people
- 54:50Speaker 1: take them at face value and don't understand what's actually
- 54:54Speaker 1: being done, so therefore they can't challenge it properly.
- 55:00Speaker 5: Brian, this is a very sad and jarring event. Not
- 55:04Speaker 5: that there haven't been a lot of other people that
- 55:07Speaker 5: have suddenly died on a sports field or during training,
- 55:11Speaker 5: or they almost died and had a very serious medical situation,
- 55:14Speaker 5: but this one is particularly noteworthy. Channel four WSMV, a
- 55:20Speaker 5: NBC affiliate out of Tennessee, reported that a fifteen year
- 55:25Speaker 5: old died suddenly while jogging. And he's a cross country runner,
- 55:29Speaker 5: so it's completely non contact sport. We don't need to
- 55:32Speaker 5: think about performance enhancing drugs being involved. And he's out
- 55:37Speaker 5: of Cheatham County, Tennessee. His name Tristan Franklin. He was
- 55:41Speaker 5: born in September sixth, two thousand and eight. He passed
- 55:45Speaker 5: away suddenly while jogging for cross country training August twenty seventh,
- 55:49Speaker 5: so he died just shy of his sixteenth birthday. This
- 55:52Speaker 5: is his obituary out of Tennessee a shot of that.
- 55:57Speaker 5: And I bring this up mainly Brian because of the
- 56:00Speaker 5: way the media is handling this. And you know, you
- 56:03Speaker 5: could think about older athletes that have been in high
- 56:07Speaker 5: contact sports for years, football, your kind of football and
- 56:11Speaker 5: my kind of football, other contact sports. Maybe they're on
- 56:15Speaker 5: performance enhancing drugs, maybe they've had birth defects, maybe there
- 56:19Speaker 5: have been other factors as to why they might die
- 56:22Speaker 5: or have a very serious medical event. But we all
- 56:25Speaker 5: know and strongly suspect that the COVID vaccinations, the mRNA
- 56:30Speaker 5: injections have played a role in this. It's just a
- 56:34Speaker 5: question of degree. Now that media slide, I was still
- 56:37Speaker 5: wanting to stay on that for just a moment. I
- 56:40Speaker 5: always ask the humorous question, how many mainstream reporters does
- 56:43Speaker 5: it take to screw in a light bulb? Well, a lot.
- 56:46Speaker 5: So they needed three reporters from this NBC affiliate. And
- 56:51Speaker 5: when they reported on this, it was purely emotionalism, just
- 56:54Speaker 5: an emotional vignette. Zero inquiries, zero curiosity as to why
- 57:00Speaker 5: I a perfectly healthy fifteen year old would just drop
- 57:03Speaker 5: dead on the spot while jogging. And he did not
- 57:07Speaker 5: die later at the hospital. He literally died right on
- 57:10Speaker 5: the ground. And so this news affiliate was really lazy
- 57:14Speaker 5: about this. This next slide is from the State of Nevada.
- 57:18Speaker 5: A commentary attached to their website. At least sixty nine
- 57:21Speaker 5: athletes collapse in one month, many dead. This is from
- 57:25Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, and so that's an interesting read. I
- 57:30Speaker 5: believe we'll have the link to that in the show notes.
- 57:33Speaker 5: But the situation is such, Brian, where I called the
- 57:38Speaker 5: media station that I just mentioned, I called the newsroom
- 57:41Speaker 5: yesterday and I said, do you know how, rather why
- 57:47Speaker 5: or by what means this fifteen year old passed away.
- 57:50Speaker 5: It's not like he was some older athlete and a
- 57:52Speaker 5: high contact sport. It's not like he was in some
- 57:55Speaker 5: high risk category and she was very laxadaisial this reporter.
- 58:00Speaker 5: I said, is there going to be an autopsy in
- 58:03Speaker 5: the first place? And if so, do you know when
- 58:05Speaker 5: we'll you'll have the coigner's report, And she vaguely thought
- 58:09Speaker 5: there might be an autopsy and she didn't know when
- 58:11Speaker 5: the coroner's report would come in. But there was also
- 58:15Speaker 5: an article Brian on that same news organization's website, very
- 58:21Speaker 5: very critical of the idea of medical freedom, and very
- 58:26Speaker 5: very critical of people who suspect vaccinations, especially the COVID vaccination,
- 58:32Speaker 5: are very hazardous or dangerous, and so the fix already
- 58:36Speaker 5: seems to be in. But this is a particularly tragic item.
- 58:39Speaker 5: I'll be keeping a close eye on and I'm going
- 58:41Speaker 5: to keep calling that newsroom every few days until I
- 58:45Speaker 5: get an answer, until I find out whether there's a
- 58:48Speaker 5: coroner's report and see what the actual cause was. But
- 58:52Speaker 5: what I suspect is if they were to find out
- 58:54Speaker 5: it was from vaccination, I don't believe they would report it.
- 58:58Speaker 5: But I'm going to really dog them on this and
- 59:00Speaker 5: we'll see what results I get.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Okay, were thank you very much, and tragic event. Whatever
- 59:06Speaker 1: the circumstances. Debbie, let's just bring you on briefly, because
- 59:11Speaker 1: of course we don't have to worry in UK. We
- 59:13Speaker 1: have the Medicines and Health Regulation Authority protecting us from
- 59:17Speaker 1: all of those nasty pharmaceutical companies, do we?
- 59:24Speaker 2: Oh?
- 59:24Speaker 6: And this week it was the MHRA board meeting. Stay
- 59:27Speaker 6: tuned for extra. I've got news.
- 59:30Speaker 7: But Dame June's going to be leaving, isn't she.
- 59:33Speaker 6: So there's a job coming up and they've advertised the
- 59:36Speaker 6: job the CEO of the MHRA commanding a nice juicy
- 59:41Speaker 6: salary between what's that one hundred and sixty thousand and
- 59:44Speaker 6: two hundred thousand. There's a bit more I can add
- 59:47Speaker 6: on that an extra too. But I thought, shall I
- 59:49Speaker 6: apply for a new job? I mean, I love the
- 59:52Speaker 6: job that I have with the UK column, trust me.
- 59:55Speaker 6: But you know what I do fit the criteria. So
- 59:57Speaker 6: when you go to look at the job description, So
- 1:00:00Speaker 6: you don't need to be a medical professional what I am.
- 1:00:03Speaker 7: That's helpful.
- 1:00:04Speaker 6: You don't need to know anything about patient safety really,
- 1:00:06Speaker 6: but I do. You do need to have sat on
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: a board and been mixing with lots of people. And
- 1:00:13Speaker 6: I was as a government advisor. So the position specification
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: pretty much fits me, and applications close seventh of October.
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: Do you think I should apply for the CEO of
- 1:00:26Speaker 6: the MHRA And do you think if I did apply,
- 1:00:29Speaker 6: they would interview me? But maybe there's somebody else that's
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: watching one of our viewers, one of our members, who would.
- 1:00:35Speaker 7: Also like to apply. Seventh of October.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Well, w thank you for that. I detect some chaos
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: in the MHRRA as more and more questions being asked
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: about their appalling performance in safety or protecting the public
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: during the so called COVID pandemic. So I think this
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: is really interesting. Should you apply? Well, I think you should.
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: Let's see what they have to say about you, and
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: if any of our audience have got an opinion on that,
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: please let us at UK Column. No, we must end there,
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: So I'm going to say a big thank you to you,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: Debbie and to Mark really important information I believe in
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: today's news. So for the audience, please get researching yourself
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: and send us and the thing you think is important.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: We must end there. If you're a member of UK Column,
