Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the tenth of March twenty five,
0:13
Speaker 1: just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News. I'm
0:16
Speaker 1: your host Brian Grish. Delighted with me in the studio
0:19
Speaker 1: at Mike Robinson and we're also delighted to have been
0:22
Speaker 1: Rubin joining us from studio too by live link.
0:27
Speaker 2: Well, yesterday was the so called Day of Reflection about
0:32
Speaker 2: the so called coronavirus pandemic, and well, the British regime,
0:37
Speaker 2: of course wanted to reinforce the idea that there were
0:39
Speaker 2: maths deaths as a result of SARS Covie two, which
0:42
Speaker 2: there weren't. The deaths were mainly the result of the
0:45
Speaker 2: response to SARS covie two. But if we just put
0:47
Speaker 2: that back on screen for a second, we can see
0:49
Speaker 2: there it's an opportunity to come together to remember those
0:52
Speaker 2: who lost their lives since the pandemic began, and to
0:55
Speaker 2: honor the tireless work and acts of kindness shown during
0:59
Speaker 2: this on resident the time. So well, I might consider
1:03
Speaker 2: what acts of kindness came from the British government at
1:06
Speaker 2: least over that time. But there were demonstrations taking place
1:09
Speaker 2: in London yesterday and the vaccine injured were represented there,
1:13
Speaker 2: which is more is important since they are barely acknowledged
1:17
Speaker 2: by any government since the job rollout began. But looking
1:22
Speaker 2: back at the ninth of March twenty twenty, this was
1:25
Speaker 2: the opening graphic on the UK column News that day,
1:29
Speaker 2: with the outrageous suggestion that Russia was to blame for
1:33
Speaker 2: sowing panic over the developing so called pandemic, when in
1:37
Speaker 2: fact it was the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, the
1:39
Speaker 2: Daily Express who were pushing that narrative as hard as
1:42
Speaker 2: they possibly could. The so called broadsheets had not yet
1:46
Speaker 2: jumped on the bandwagon. But of course we subsequently found
1:48
Speaker 2: out that the reason that the tabloids at least were
1:51
Speaker 2: pushing this as hard as they were was because of
1:54
Speaker 2: the spy bee insistence that personal jeopardy was not high
1:59
Speaker 2: enough yet. So the possibility though of emergency legislation was
2:04
Speaker 2: already being discussed, and that eventually came as the Coronavirus
2:07
Speaker 2: Act twenty twenty. Health Center at the time Matt Hancock
2:12
Speaker 2: outlined high volunteers who already play a central role in
2:16
Speaker 2: helping the health and social care system function, he said,
2:20
Speaker 2: would be given additional employment safeguard so that they could
2:24
Speaker 2: leave their main jobs and temporarily volunteer in the event
2:27
Speaker 2: of a widespread pandemic. That was what he was saying.
2:30
Speaker 2: At the time. Hancock was clearly acting, perhaps as a
2:33
Speaker 2: Russian agent there, I don't know, but anyway, he also
2:36
Speaker 2: discussed the possibility of allowing certain civil proceedings in the
2:39
Speaker 2: magistrate's courts to be conducted via a telephone and video,
2:42
Speaker 2: as well as the expansion of audio and video livelegks
2:45
Speaker 2: for criminal proceedings. And he also talked about that emergency
2:49
Speaker 2: bill also as having strong safeguards, including sunsetting after two years,
2:55
Speaker 2: and the government at the time made it clear that
2:59
Speaker 2: it was only post that these were only proposed measures
3:02
Speaker 2: if needed, based on clinical and scientific advice. And of course,
3:06
Speaker 2: not very long after this we got the emergency legislation,
3:09
Speaker 2: we got the lockdowns, and we got the rest. Now,
3:12
Speaker 2: within a couple of days of that ninth of March
3:16
Speaker 2: UK column news Italy was in lockdown. Troops were on
3:19
Speaker 2: the streets in Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Poland and the Czech
3:22
Speaker 2: Republic had closed their borders. In Poland, the church was
3:25
Speaker 2: encouraging people to gather and pray, and the Polish government
3:28
Speaker 2: was telling them to stop and stop being so silly.
3:30
Speaker 2: Straight away, France was considering closing their borders. Ireland had
3:35
Speaker 2: closed schools and banned gatherings of more than five hundred people.
3:38
Speaker 2: Donald Trump had granted all flights between the United States
3:41
Speaker 2: and mainland Europe, and across the EU's schools, shops, offices,
3:45
Speaker 2: factories and restaurants had closed. And here in the UK,
3:49
Speaker 2: the Premier League and the English Football League were suspended
3:52
Speaker 2: until the third of April twenty twenty at the earliest.
3:56
Speaker 2: And what about Boris, Well, Boris was being attacked from
3:59
Speaker 2: all sides for not doing enough. He hadn't fallen under
4:02
Speaker 2: the weight of the Daily Mail hysteria quite by then,
4:05
Speaker 2: although it didn't take him long. And as we just mentioned,
4:09
Speaker 2: Matt Honcock though, was continuing to make preparations. Now. He
4:13
Speaker 2: had announced that all government departments had started to engage
4:17
Speaker 2: with industry leads in their respective areas. As government with
4:22
Speaker 2: the Department for Culture, Media and Sport were JUDO hosts
4:26
Speaker 2: meeting with sporting bodies the following day, and DEFOR was
4:29
Speaker 2: expected to have more meetings with supermarkets. And well why
4:33
Speaker 2: were they meeting with supermarkets? Well, of course, the reason
4:37
Speaker 2: they needed to meet with supermarkets was that the fair
4:41
Speaker 2: porn was having an effect and people were panic buying
4:44
Speaker 2: toilet role So let's just have a look at a
4:46
Speaker 2: short excerpt from that report from the ninth March twenty twenty.
4:52
Speaker 2: What's going to happen about this because coronavirus stockpiling according
4:55
Speaker 2: to the Mirror of what each UK supermarket is rationing
4:59
Speaker 2: as panic buying continues, and the image on there is
5:02
Speaker 2: a customer notice. We're saying that due to higher than
5:05
Speaker 2: normal demand and we've been experiencing some product shortages, in
5:10
Speaker 2: order to support as many customers as possible, they're therefore
5:13
Speaker 2: putting limits on the number of toilet rolls that you
5:15
Speaker 2: can buy to four packets in one effort. That's all
5:19
Speaker 2: you're able to get. But we don't need to worry
5:22
Speaker 2: because the Guardian here saying nine reasons to be reassured,
5:26
Speaker 2: and they're saying really that the hype over this hysteria
5:30
Speaker 2: is coming from social media. No criticism in this Guardian
5:34
Speaker 2: article for the Daily Mail or the Daily Express or
5:37
Speaker 2: any of the other mainstream newspapers that are pushing this
5:40
Speaker 2: in a really insane direction. But this Guardian article here,
5:44
Speaker 2: which is headline coronavirus nine Reasons to be Reassured gets
5:47
Speaker 2: even better because at the end they say this. This
5:50
Speaker 2: article was amended on seventh of March twenty twenty. An
5:53
Speaker 2: earlier version wrongly stated that quote a solution of ethanol,
5:57
Speaker 2: hydrogen peroxide, and bleach will infect surfaces. It is dangerous
6:02
Speaker 2: to combine such substances. It now states correctly that a
6:06
Speaker 2: solution of ethanol, a solution of hydrogen peroxide, or a
6:10
Speaker 2: solution of bleach.
6:11
Speaker 3: Will disinfect surfaces.
6:14
Speaker 2: David, you seem to be losing it there, and I
6:16
Speaker 2: can quite understand why.
6:18
Speaker 3: Boy, it's just so funny. Can you explain to me
6:21
Speaker 3: why does coronavirus mean that everyone buys toilet paper, but
6:25
Speaker 3: the Beast from the East means everyone buys bread.
6:30
Speaker 2: I mean, we were clearly having fun with that at
6:33
Speaker 2: the time, and the fund didn't disappear, but we we
6:36
Speaker 2: still need to remember. I think that in the following months,
6:39
Speaker 2: in the years as they went past it, situation became
6:43
Speaker 2: somewhat darker as lockdowns and vaccine mandates were brought in.
6:46
Speaker 2: So I just want to end this by showing a
6:48
Speaker 2: minute or two of the video put out by Oracle
6:51
Speaker 2: films yesterday. Let's just watch this.
7:06
Speaker 3: March ninth, twenty twenty five, a day of reflection set
7:11
Speaker 3: aside to remember the friends and loved ones lost to
7:14
Speaker 3: COVID and the sacrifices that we all made. Remember, of course,
7:20
Speaker 3: we do, but do not betray those who every day
7:24
Speaker 3: bear the consequences of a flawed vaccine rollout. The vaccine
7:29
Speaker 3: injured have been marginalized, even scorned by the medical profession,
7:34
Speaker 3: the media, politicians, the very people who persuaded them to
7:38
Speaker 3: take the jabs in the first place. They hope that
7:41
Speaker 3: the COVID inquiry will provide answers, some truth on which
7:44
Speaker 3: to build. Instead, they met a familiar brick wall.
7:49
Speaker 4: What we cannot do is make precise determinations in relation
7:53
Speaker 4: to whether a specific vaccine is safe, or determining matters
7:58
Speaker 4: of causation where death or injury has resulted from specific vaccines.
8:04
Speaker 4: Safety is a relative concept, and any determination, if it
8:08
Speaker 4: could be made, would serve no sensible purpose.
8:11
Speaker 5: If outrageous, what's happened with the UK COVID inquiry. It's
8:15
Speaker 5: turning into a whitewash and a complete waste of public money.
8:20
Speaker 3: Many issues could and should have been addressed not least
8:25
Speaker 3: were the public deceived over millions of Astrozeneka jabs which
8:28
Speaker 3: were actually a relabeled Indian made brand COVID shield close
8:33
Speaker 3: to the expiry date. We'll investigate that shortly.
8:39
Speaker 2: Now, that's just a couple of minutes from by the
8:42
Speaker 2: eighteen minutes of release from Oracle Films. If you haven't
8:45
Speaker 2: seen it, go and watch the full thing. It is
8:47
Speaker 2: fantastic and Oracle does deserve your support, so if you
8:51
Speaker 2: can help them out as well, what you thought, what
8:54
Speaker 2: are your thoughts?
8:55
Speaker 1: Well, of course, terrible times. Mike and I just want
8:57
Speaker 1: to remind the audience that while the government in its
9:00
Speaker 1: plassitudes in twenty twenty five is talking about the kindness
9:05
Speaker 1: the same government system, both Tories and Labor, we're using
9:11
Speaker 1: applied behavioral psychology to ramp up fear, to make people
9:16
Speaker 1: so fearful, more fearful that they would adhere both to
9:20
Speaker 1: the lockdown practices and of course accept vaccinations. So at
9:25
Speaker 1: the end of the day, who is the danger. In
9:27
Speaker 1: my book, it's our own government. We need to start questioning.
9:31
Speaker 1: But tragic events and good see so many people out
9:35
Speaker 1: on the streets. Well, let's move on to something else
9:39
Speaker 1: that seems to be taking place in order to capture
9:43
Speaker 1: the whole of society in UK and that is the
9:46
Speaker 1: one hundred year partnership with Ukraine. Now I've got some
9:49
Speaker 1: interesting headlines here. You might not actually recognize these two newspapers,
9:55
Speaker 1: and I'll give the answer for you, because both these newspapers,
9:59
Speaker 1: The Week and First News our newspapers specifically put out
10:04
Speaker 1: to target children, and if we look at the front page,
10:08
Speaker 1: this is clearly, in my opinion at least a brainwashing
10:11
Speaker 1: exercise to get young children with no ability to understand
10:15
Speaker 1: the geopolitical events taking place and the brutality of the war,
10:20
Speaker 1: to drill into their heads that Ukraine and Zelenski means peace,
10:26
Speaker 1: prosperity and the future for UK But a few days ago,
10:31
Speaker 1: we were reminding the audience that there was a call
10:34
Speaker 1: for evidence over the Ukraine one hundred year partnership agreement.
10:39
Speaker 1: This is part of the document on screen, but the
10:42
Speaker 1: deadline is actually today. Now I want to say that
10:46
Speaker 1: we put out this, we alerted people to what was happening,
10:50
Speaker 1: and just a moment I'm going to be talking about
10:52
Speaker 1: one of the UK column audience who decided to take action.
10:56
Speaker 1: But if we just have a little look at the
10:58
Speaker 1: inquiry itself says it's looking at evidence on questions including
11:03
Speaker 1: what will materially change as a result of the treaty,
11:06
Speaker 1: what is the retrospective role of the treaty and the
11:09
Speaker 1: political declaration within the partnership, How the maritime partnership contained
11:15
Speaker 1: in the agreement is expected to operate in practice, and
11:18
Speaker 1: how likely Ukraine's NATO membership aspirations are in the current climate,
11:23
Speaker 1: and what more the government could do to ensure this outcome.
11:27
Speaker 1: And of course, bringing Ukraine into NATO, Mike, as I'm
11:30
Speaker 1: sure you'll agree, is a red flag to Russia at
11:33
Speaker 1: the moment. So this is all designed to keep the
11:37
Speaker 1: angst and the conflict going. And lastly, it says, how
11:40
Speaker 1: does this agreement relate to the wider issues of security
11:43
Speaker 1: guarantees for Ukraine? If we go back to the original
11:47
Speaker 1: document published on the seventeenth of January, this is just
11:52
Speaker 1: the opening section on defense. We can't go into all
11:56
Speaker 1: of the small text, but let's just focus in on
11:59
Speaker 1: the star of it, because it's talking about establishing stronger
12:03
Speaker 1: and closer defense cooperation, industrial bases, cooperating in the exchange
12:09
Speaker 1: of practical experience, equipment, munitions training and development, and in
12:14
Speaker 1: particular the joint production and development and joint production of
12:18
Speaker 1: advanced weapons and ammunition manufacturing capabilities. Now remember this because
12:24
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about something in just a
12:27
Speaker 1: minute where this phrase I think is extremely pertinent. But
12:31
Speaker 1: is the really excellent thing that one of our viewers
12:34
Speaker 1: reacted to this and they actually submitted their own response.
12:39
Speaker 1: I'm just going to bring up a couple of the
12:41
Speaker 1: little paragraphs, but it says that this is my own account,
12:45
Speaker 1: that's the viewer. And in answer to the specific questions,
12:49
Speaker 1: and the first one, how does this agreement contribute to
12:52
Speaker 1: the UK's national interest? Are there any risks to the UK?
12:56
Speaker 1: Our viewers says it does not contribute in any way
13:00
Speaker 1: to the UK's national interests and instead creates risks by
13:04
Speaker 1: consolidating the belligerent position taken by the current and previous governments,
13:09
Speaker 1: which deliberately rules out finding peaceful solutions to the conflict
13:13
Speaker 1: between Ukraine and Russia. And this individual then went on,
13:19
Speaker 1: this was another section what will materially change as a
13:23
Speaker 1: result to the treaty under Article one of the treaty
13:26
Speaker 1: and Pillar all point one of the declaration, what will
13:30
Speaker 1: materially change is a further in meshing of the UK
13:33
Speaker 1: into the Ukraine Russia conflict, underwritten by military assistance of
13:38
Speaker 1: no less than three billion a year until twenty thirty
13:41
Speaker 1: thirty one. No money for the public, but three billion
13:45
Speaker 1: a year for Ukraine and for as long as needed.
13:48
Speaker 1: For Ukraine's current regime, this brings further hardware and technical
13:52
Speaker 1: assistance for their conflict. For the UK only a further
13:56
Speaker 1: strain on already imploding public finances and the appalling prospect
14:01
Speaker 1: of conscripting young British men and women as peacekeepers. I
14:05
Speaker 1: wonder what the effect would be if we had had
14:08
Speaker 1: a million people putting this type of response in. But
14:11
Speaker 1: let's just do the last bit here. Are there other
14:15
Speaker 1: aspects of this treaty or political declaration that you consider
14:19
Speaker 1: notable or could have significant policy implications?
14:22
Speaker 6: It is noticeable.
14:24
Speaker 1: Sorry, it is notable only for its arrogance, hubris and
14:29
Speaker 1: ultimate irrelevance, and should be scrapped. Declarations such as Article
14:34
Speaker 1: four claiming the parties will strengthen economic inclusivity, supporting efforts
14:39
Speaker 1: to reduce inequality, tackle poverty and leave no one behind
14:44
Speaker 1: ring particularly hollow at a time when ordinary citizens in
14:48
Speaker 1: both countries are struggling with the consequences of government decisions
14:53
Speaker 1: that do anything but address these issues. So I've got
14:57
Speaker 1: to say, Mike, I think this individual was absolutely spot on.
15:01
Speaker 1: There's more really good comment, but this particular person stepped
15:06
Speaker 1: up and made the response, which is the reason that
15:09
Speaker 1: we alerted people that today was the deadline. So this
15:13
Speaker 1: is very encouraging to see. But in general, we don't
15:17
Speaker 1: need one or two or ten. We need thousands of
15:20
Speaker 1: people to be challenging in this way because it does
15:23
Speaker 1: produce immense pressure on the government. Now, we'd also like
15:28
Speaker 1: to thank another UK column viewer for a tip off
15:34
Speaker 1: in relation to this particular defense manufacturer MBDA. This is
15:40
Speaker 1: just part of their website. Very glossy excellence at your side,
15:47
Speaker 1: and I was fascinated to have a person whisper in
15:50
Speaker 1: my ear that there was some very interesting things going
15:53
Speaker 1: on around this particular organization. Now, just give you a
15:56
Speaker 1: bit of background. This is what they have to say
16:00
Speaker 1: out themselves on their website that they're a European that's
16:03
Speaker 1: a very interesting expression. A European leader in the missile
16:08
Speaker 1: industry about US number one, it's a unique multi national
16:13
Speaker 1: European group a world leader in the field of complex
16:17
Speaker 1: weapons systems and MBDA in its eighteen thousand employees work
16:22
Speaker 1: together to support Listen to this phrase, the national sovereignty
16:27
Speaker 1: of our home nations and their allies. Michael ask you
16:32
Speaker 1: here a bit of a low ball, but what's your
16:35
Speaker 1: opinion of what our home nation means.
16:39
Speaker 2: I don't know what they mean by it, but our
16:43
Speaker 2: home Nations is European. I mean we're talking European Defense
16:47
Speaker 2: Union here.
16:47
Speaker 1: Well, of course you've got it in one. But of
16:49
Speaker 1: course many people would believe that our Home Nations might
16:53
Speaker 1: be talking about England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You
16:57
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head because this is not
17:00
Speaker 1: talking about UK. This is talking about Europe. They go
17:04
Speaker 1: on to talk about visions and strategies. It says it's
17:08
Speaker 1: a European group capable of designing and manufacturing complex weapons
17:12
Speaker 1: to meet the full range of current and operational future
17:15
Speaker 1: operational requirements of the three Armed forces. And here, thanks
17:20
Speaker 1: to our fifty years of expertise and our recognized technical
17:24
Speaker 1: mastery in designing missiles missile systems, we develop and deliver increased,
17:30
Speaker 1: increasingly advanced defense systems to meet all types or threats. Now,
17:36
Speaker 1: the tip off was very interesting. We could call it
17:38
Speaker 1: an allegation at this stage, but I'm sure more will
17:41
Speaker 1: come to light because I was pointed at the sites
17:45
Speaker 1: of this company. So this is their map. They're in Bristol,
17:49
Speaker 1: they're in Stevenage, close to London. But this is the
17:53
Speaker 1: site of interest box and opened in twenty seventeen. And
17:58
Speaker 1: let's put a bit of comment in this now, because
18:02
Speaker 1: we've been informed the one hundred and ninety one million
18:04
Speaker 1: has been allocated for a new missile production facility at
18:09
Speaker 1: MBDA Bolton, and if we had a bit more to that.
18:14
Speaker 1: We understand that the deal was signed before the Labor
18:17
Speaker 1: government took office and when complete, the new unit that
18:21
Speaker 1: this money is going to facilitate will make it a
18:23
Speaker 1: major weapons manufacturing facility in the UK. Now, interestingly, the
18:30
Speaker 1: tip off included some questions about what the potential implications
18:34
Speaker 1: of this were, and I'm going to bring these up
18:36
Speaker 1: on screen. People may have their own views. But the
18:40
Speaker 1: first point was because of the stage at which this
18:43
Speaker 1: was signed off, that the inference was that the defense
18:46
Speaker 1: budget increases have been in the pipeline for a long time.
18:50
Speaker 1: Also that the defense strategy is non party political, so
18:55
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter if there's an elections and the
18:58
Speaker 1: parties change. Defense strategy is going to continue, particularly the
19:03
Speaker 1: strategy against Russia. And number three here the war conflict
19:07
Speaker 1: or thread of conflict is clearly for an extended period
19:10
Speaker 1: of time that we can see this by the amount
19:14
Speaker 1: of money being put into this facility. Number four, and
19:19
Speaker 1: this I found particularly interesting, as with the COVID decision
19:23
Speaker 1: making the government, well, it's asked us a question, is
19:27
Speaker 1: the government with its politicians as facilitators. Is there something
19:33
Speaker 1: above the government which is putting this policy in place.
19:36
Speaker 1: It's certainly not the politicians bringing this forward. And the
19:40
Speaker 1: last one is that the EU Defense Union was always
19:44
Speaker 1: the end goal and has never been off the table,
19:47
Speaker 1: despite political claims to the contrary. So I think some
19:51
Speaker 1: pretty astute comments there, and I just thought i'd bring
19:54
Speaker 1: this up on screen. This is dominic comments. Who's been
19:58
Speaker 1: posting on x or tweeting good to see Number ten
20:02
Speaker 1: copying vote leave on two baby steps whacking the correct
20:06
Speaker 1: the corrupt age, budd sorry aid budget and extending the
20:10
Speaker 1: review across all security including agencies and single intelligence accounts.
20:16
Speaker 1: The mod doesn't have the answers on espionage cyber But
20:20
Speaker 1: if number ten really wants to make huge progress, there's
20:23
Speaker 1: an easy way. This is what caught my attention. Get
20:27
Speaker 1: five to ten of those who participated in the highly
20:30
Speaker 1: secret part of the twenty twenty review, from which Wallace,
20:34
Speaker 1: that's Ben Wallace was totally excluded because he's such a
20:38
Speaker 1: security risk to go through all the programs the mod
20:42
Speaker 1: and Forces admitted were screwed and should be closed. After
20:46
Speaker 1: we left, these documents were shredded and trolley Waally stole
20:51
Speaker 1: the money for the future to keep plowing in all
20:54
Speaker 1: the disasters like Ajax and Watchkeeper, so the mod get
20:58
Speaker 1: even more awful three years and this particular communication ends
21:03
Speaker 1: by if a SPAD wants to do this properly, get
21:06
Speaker 1: in touch and I'll give you the names of key
21:09
Speaker 1: officials who can dissue all the mods highly classified dirt.
21:13
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of rumor, there's a tip off,
21:16
Speaker 1: there's allegations, Mike, but clearly we are seeing that there's
21:20
Speaker 1: a beast in the military industrial complex which is clearly
21:24
Speaker 1: ramping up not defense of the nation, but an offensive
21:29
Speaker 1: capability which appears aimed at the Russians.
21:33
Speaker 2: In my opinion, the assessment of Ben Wallace is completely accurate. However,
21:36
Speaker 2: a soul but bad. Let's welcome you to the program
21:40
Speaker 2: and let's talk some carnage.
21:44
Speaker 7: Carnage, indeed, carnage and drama from across the Atlantic. Is
21:48
Speaker 7: the red side of the Uniparty selected an obscenely rich
21:52
Speaker 7: capitalist oligarch to run the country.
21:54
Speaker 6: But don't worry.
21:55
Speaker 7: It's not Trump in America, it's Carnee in Canada, and
22:00
Speaker 7: Mark Carney, the former Central Banker, is going to be
22:02
Speaker 7: only the second Prime minister in Canadian history without a
22:06
Speaker 7: seat in Parliament. He's been installed. Let's see the.
22:09
Speaker 6: Election results coming in in a tour last night.
22:14
Speaker 8: In first place the next Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Karney,
22:20
Speaker 8: with one hundred and thirty one thousand, six hundred and
22:23
Speaker 8: seventy four votes, resulting in twenty nine thousand, four hundred
22:28
Speaker 8: and fifty seven allocated points, representing eighty five point nine
22:34
Speaker 8: percent of the votes.
23:14
Speaker 3: Prime Minister, I think it's clear he should just skip
23:16
Speaker 3: a generation.
23:22
Speaker 7: So Trudea's out, thankfully, but Carnie's in, out of the
23:26
Speaker 7: frying pan, into the fire. As they say, he won
23:29
Speaker 7: a landslide, a liberal landslide. He's been voted for by
23:32
Speaker 7: the party. He won eighty five percent of the vote.
23:35
Speaker 7: But who is he? So he's been presented as an outsider,
23:38
Speaker 7: certainly a political outsider, but he couldn't be more establishment
23:42
Speaker 7: if he tried. Actually, let's have a little look at
23:45
Speaker 7: his background here. So it comes from a political family.
23:48
Speaker 7: His father, Bob Carney, ran as a Liberal candidate, lost
23:52
Speaker 7: to the Progressive Conservatives, whatever that means. He went to
23:55
Speaker 7: Harvard and study economics and good a PhD from Oxford,
23:59
Speaker 7: played a lot of hockey talks about that all the time,
24:02
Speaker 7: then spent seven to third thirteen years of Goldman Sachs
24:06
Speaker 7: and then went into a series of positions in the
24:10
Speaker 7: Bank of Canada and the Finance Department of the Canadian government,
24:15
Speaker 7: and then was actually tapped to run the Bank of
24:17
Speaker 7: Canada in two thousand and eight, immediately before the financial crisis,
24:22
Speaker 7: and then his stellar handling of the economy through the
24:27
Speaker 7: financial crisis gave him a platform to step up and
24:29
Speaker 7: start talking about global governance and the transformation of the
24:33
Speaker 7: global financial system at placed like the world economy for
24:36
Speaker 7: and when he was on the board for about fifteen years. Actually,
24:40
Speaker 7: he's a big time weft guy. And that's been his
24:45
Speaker 7: life for the past or fifteen or twenty years, and
24:47
Speaker 7: particularly he was voted a time most influential person in
24:51
Speaker 7: the world in twenty ten, alongside maybe Garga and Bill Clinton,
24:57
Speaker 7: various other people like that. So you kind of get
24:59
Speaker 7: this sense of the individual. And he's not just a
25:03
Speaker 7: central banker, right importantly, I mean that would be that
25:06
Speaker 7: would be a significant development for the new leadership of
25:10
Speaker 7: a country for someone to be a central banker. But
25:12
Speaker 7: until yesterday, he was the president of the Group of Thirty. Right,
25:17
Speaker 7: So this is the oversight board for the global financial system.
25:21
Speaker 7: They basically provide governance to the Bank of International Settlements.
25:24
Speaker 7: You can see him in the front row of this
25:26
Speaker 7: image here. They've actually already taken him off the members
25:29
Speaker 7: page of their website interest and there's probably a good idea.
25:33
Speaker 7: And he's still highly influential across the private sector as well.
25:37
Speaker 7: So he's an independent director at Stripe. Strip's become basically
25:43
Speaker 7: the de facto global payment platform. It runs digital payments
25:47
Speaker 7: across the whole of the Internet. Leave UK, column use it,
25:51
Speaker 7: substat use it. It's used absolutely everywhere, and that gives
25:55
Speaker 7: him a huge amount of visibility over trade flows online.
26:00
Speaker 7: I mean, this guy's really ensconced in the top levels
26:03
Speaker 7: of the banking system. He's a builder Burger. He's actually
26:07
Speaker 7: listed still as a member a former member on the
26:11
Speaker 7: Builderberg website. He's a close friend and confidant of Linda Rothchild.
26:16
Speaker 7: We can see him squiring her around the Vatican here
26:19
Speaker 7: when they went to meet the Pope a couple.
26:21
Speaker 6: Of years ago.
26:22
Speaker 7: And he's extremely opinionated on issues like net zero. We
26:26
Speaker 7: will not get to net zero in a niche it
26:29
Speaker 7: requires a whole economy transition, right, So this is the
26:32
Speaker 7: big global economic transition that we talk about a lot.
26:37
Speaker 7: He's absolutely front and center in this, and he's absolutely adamant.
26:42
Speaker 7: Companies that don't adapt, including companies in the financial system,
26:46
Speaker 7: will go bankrupt without question if they don't adhere to
26:51
Speaker 7: net zero policies. So this is an astonishing guy to
26:55
Speaker 7: be put into a leadership position of a country like Canada.
26:57
Speaker 7: And I would just say that they're just really not
26:59
Speaker 7: hiding it anymore.
27:02
Speaker 2: Indeed they're not.
27:04
Speaker 1: I was lost for words as you were going through
27:07
Speaker 1: that Ben and just thinking incredible that we've now got
27:11
Speaker 1: the full power of the banks absolutely controlling anything, everything,
27:17
Speaker 1: and anything in one particular country. How could they have
27:20
Speaker 1: done it in Canada, I don't know. Let's move on.
27:24
Speaker 1: A big thank you to everybody supporting UK Column and
27:28
Speaker 1: if you like what we're doing, then please support us.
27:31
Speaker 1: There are a number of ways of doing it. You
27:33
Speaker 1: can make a donation, you can take out a monthly
27:36
Speaker 1: membership or an annual, or you can take out a
27:39
Speaker 1: lifetime membership. And thank you very much to the people
27:42
Speaker 1: who've had the confidence to do that. We certainly appreciate it.
27:47
Speaker 1: If you haven't been there, or haven't been there for
27:49
Speaker 1: a while, have a look at the UK Column shop
27:52
Speaker 1: because a purchase also helps what we do. And as
27:56
Speaker 1: we like to point out, we do stock health products
27:58
Speaker 1: from Clivee de Carl and we make a small percentage
28:01
Speaker 1: on that. But the key thing to remember is what
28:04
Speaker 1: we're putting out in the news is there freely available
28:08
Speaker 1: for people to share. And it is clear that despite
28:12
Speaker 1: censorship via YouTube and Facebook, our information is being widely
28:17
Speaker 1: shared and a huge thank you to people who are
28:20
Speaker 1: watching us from overseas and sharing our material now. I'd
28:24
Speaker 1: also like to say that UK Column on location in
28:28
Speaker 1: Cheltenham is shaping up very nicely we've talked about the speakers,
28:32
Speaker 1: of course over the last few weeks, Catherine Gunn, Alex Thomson,
28:36
Speaker 1: Patrick Henningson, Rajamir and I'm delighted to be joining that
28:41
Speaker 1: line up myself. I think it's going to be a
28:44
Speaker 1: fantastic day. And the important thing is we're aiming to
28:48
Speaker 1: make this relax. There is time between the speakers. We've
28:52
Speaker 1: got some really interesting socializing which will be happening during
28:58
Speaker 1: the day, and we have taken note that people say,
29:02
Speaker 1: can we at least speak to you after the event,
29:04
Speaker 1: So that's going to be opportunity in a bar area
29:09
Speaker 1: after the main day for us to relax talk to
29:12
Speaker 1: each other. And of course we have said if you've
29:15
Speaker 1: got an instrument and you like to bring it along,
29:17
Speaker 1: a musical instrument, please do. But it's going to be
29:21
Speaker 1: a great day. And if you haven't bought a ticket,
29:23
Speaker 1: then you need to do so because tickets aren't going
29:27
Speaker 1: very quickly.
29:28
Speaker 9: Now.
29:28
Speaker 1: I'd just like to say that a reminder really that
29:32
Speaker 1: I've had a series of interviews with mothers who've had
29:35
Speaker 1: their children snatched by the UK State. I know this
29:40
Speaker 1: is a very difficult subject for a lot of people,
29:42
Speaker 1: but it needs to be talked about. And I just
29:45
Speaker 1: like to say that a few days ago I was
29:48
Speaker 1: able to interview Leah Summers, who's a lady who's worked
29:51
Speaker 1: alongside Gloucester Social Services. She is now a whistleblower, she's
29:56
Speaker 1: lost her job, but in her comments and conversations me,
30:00
Speaker 1: this is something that absolutely stuck in my mind. She
30:04
Speaker 1: described the activities of the social services in the Gloucester
30:08
Speaker 1: area at least as being quote brutal. And this is
30:13
Speaker 1: really the nub of it. We need to get the
30:15
Speaker 1: top of before the government takes more children and lawfully.
30:19
Speaker 1: And if you think you're safe because of your income
30:22
Speaker 1: or your professional position, than you need to think again.
30:27
Speaker 2: Okay, let's move on. You'll be absolutely delighted to know
30:31
Speaker 2: that the former government minister, Lord Willitts, has been appointed
30:35
Speaker 2: as the first chair of the new regulatory in a
30:38
Speaker 2: vision office that signs good, doesn't this and this is
30:41
Speaker 2: going to lead a team focused on bringing emerging technologies
30:47
Speaker 2: like drones delivering medicines or AI training software for surgeons
30:51
Speaker 2: to market quickly and safely, safely to improve lives. Just
30:56
Speaker 2: to quote them for a second. Now, the example that
30:58
Speaker 2: the British government gives to launch. This is new drones,
31:02
Speaker 2: but drones mixed with healthcare of course, because drones, they say,
31:06
Speaker 2: are already cutting blood delivery times from thirty minutes just
31:10
Speaker 2: two minutes, speeding up testing turnaround times to improve NHS productivity.
31:14
Speaker 2: I mean, it couldn't get any better. So the focus
31:17
Speaker 2: on this is a company, an organization called Ipian. This
31:21
Speaker 2: is funded by NHS doctors. They work with global drone
31:26
Speaker 2: company Wing to fly blood samples from Guy's Hospital to
31:30
Speaker 2: Sonova's lab in Saint Thomas Hospital for urgent testing and
31:34
Speaker 2: this rapid turnaround. They say this service supports some of
31:38
Speaker 2: their most vulnerable patients, ensuring they have the best possible care.
31:43
Speaker 2: But it's not drones in the NHS that I want
31:45
Speaker 2: to focus on here, because in parallel with the Willet's
31:47
Speaker 2: appointment is the announcement that the Food Standards Agency has
31:52
Speaker 2: launched a pioneering regulatory program for cell cultivated products and
31:57
Speaker 2: it's going to be led by Well, he's one of
31:59
Speaker 2: the people leading it is Patrick Valance of COVID fame.
32:03
Speaker 2: So what are we talking about here, Well, they're calling
32:06
Speaker 2: it food, which is not a word that I would
32:08
Speaker 2: apply to it. But nonetheless, as you can see on
32:10
Speaker 2: screen here at the moment they're saying, this is a
32:13
Speaker 2: new sandbox program funded by the Department for Science, Innovation, Technologies,
32:17
Speaker 2: Engineering Biology Sandbox Fund, which will make sure sell cultivated
32:22
Speaker 2: products are safe for consumers before they're sold while supporting
32:26
Speaker 2: innovation in the sector. So this is very much the
32:28
Speaker 2: MHRI model, convincing us all that it's safe to eat
32:33
Speaker 2: lab grown meat and other lab grown materials, while at
32:36
Speaker 2: the same time making sure that they reinforce the industry
32:40
Speaker 2: as it develops. It's not going to be a regulator
32:43
Speaker 2: in other words, So this is going to be a
32:44
Speaker 2: two year development program and so that's how long you've
32:48
Speaker 2: got if you've got a campaign on the issue. It's
32:50
Speaker 2: going to be in collaboration with various academic bodies, the
32:53
Speaker 2: cell cultivated products industry and trade organizations, and their aim
32:57
Speaker 2: is to gather rigorous scientific evidence where we heard this
33:01
Speaker 2: before about sell cultivated products and how they're made, and
33:05
Speaker 2: to inform how the Food Standards Agency and the Food
33:08
Speaker 2: Standards Scotland regulate these products. Now today the Food Standards
33:13
Speaker 2: Agency has announced that eight of these companies have been
33:16
Speaker 2: selected to participate participate in the program, but don't worry.
33:21
Speaker 2: The participants were selected through a rigorous selection process and
33:25
Speaker 2: represent the diverse international range of technologies, processes and ingredients
33:29
Speaker 2: used in CCP products. It couldn't get better now. The
33:33
Speaker 2: business is participating in this are Hoxton Farms UK, Blue
33:37
Speaker 2: Nalu which is from the United States, most of Meat
33:41
Speaker 2: from the Netherlands, Gurme from France, Roslind Technologies also from
33:46
Speaker 2: the UK, Uncommon Bio from the UK, vital Meat from
33:49
Speaker 2: France and vow from Australia and as well as also
33:54
Speaker 2: they're also working with as well as working with the industry, sorry,
33:58
Speaker 2: they're also going to be working with academic parts NURSE
34:00
Speaker 2: including the Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing Hub led by the University
34:05
Speaker 2: of Bath, the National Alternative Protein Andnovis Center, and the
34:09
Speaker 2: Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein. The TREDE bodies who are
34:14
Speaker 2: going to be represented are the Good Food Institute Europe
34:17
Speaker 2: and the Alternative Proteins Association. So, Ben, I don't know
34:20
Speaker 2: what your thoughts on this, but I can't imagine where
34:22
Speaker 2: it could possibly go wrong.
34:27
Speaker 7: Absolutely nothing good can come from a program such as
34:31
Speaker 7: what you just described the sandbox bit. That's terrifying, right,
34:35
Speaker 7: So the sandbox is basically it's literally like a children's sandbox,
34:40
Speaker 7: so they can get in and they can play, and
34:42
Speaker 7: they can make shapes and do you know, have a
34:44
Speaker 7: bit of a mess around, so literally what they mean,
34:47
Speaker 7: you know, and it will be a regulatory in the
34:49
Speaker 7: technology sandbox in order to help them think through all
34:52
Speaker 7: the all the potential blockers that are actually making it happen.
34:55
Speaker 7: They'll just push them all out of the way and
34:57
Speaker 7: then they'll roll that thing out into society. What absolute nightmare. Anyway,
35:02
Speaker 7: what was going on last week? It was all the
35:05
Speaker 7: Zelenski yoh no Trump in the Oval office for about
35:08
Speaker 7: ten days, wasn't it, you know? And Russian spies on
35:12
Speaker 7: the cover of newspapers over the weekend. And that's not
35:15
Speaker 7: actually what was going on last week at all. This
35:18
Speaker 7: was going on last week amongst other things. It's the
35:20
Speaker 7: inaugural UK Ireland Summit, and this is a really big
35:26
Speaker 7: and important meeting to talk about security and growth. At
35:29
Speaker 7: the center of this special relationship that is being established
35:34
Speaker 7: between the UK and Ireland, it sits right at the
35:37
Speaker 7: heart of the public private model, which is fascist. We
35:40
Speaker 7: use this quote all the time. Fascism should more appropriately
35:43
Speaker 7: be a corporatism because it is a merger of state
35:46
Speaker 7: and corporate power.
35:48
Speaker 6: And the grand convening.
35:50
Speaker 7: Of State and corporate power took place last week at
35:53
Speaker 7: the EY Office.
35:56
Speaker 6: Up in Liverpool.
35:57
Speaker 7: EY as a strategic partner of the World Economic Forum.
36:01
Speaker 7: And this gentleman Rohan Malik, who's very close to Starmer
36:05
Speaker 7: and Rachel Reeves. He's the EMEA and UK and I
36:09
Speaker 7: Managing Partner for Government and Public Sector, which means that
36:11
Speaker 7: he leads the public private partnership it across the whole
36:15
Speaker 7: of Europe, Middle East, India and Africa and especially here
36:19
Speaker 7: in the UK and Ireland. And he loves going in
36:21
Speaker 7: and out and Number ten. And he was there to
36:24
Speaker 7: greet the Prime Minister at the government summit. While they're
36:28
Speaker 7: holding a government summit. Does the UK government not have
36:31
Speaker 7: any buildings in Liverpool. We've got no offices up there.
36:34
Speaker 7: We've got to do it in the EY Office. I mean,
36:36
Speaker 7: what's all that about?
36:38
Speaker 6: Right?
36:38
Speaker 7: And Malix there he's saying how fantastic it is to
36:41
Speaker 7: greet the Prime Minister.
36:43
Speaker 6: He's talking about.
36:44
Speaker 7: How proud he is of the role of our organization
36:48
Speaker 7: as a convener of leading voices across the public and
36:52
Speaker 7: private sector for discussions on how to tackle the most
36:55
Speaker 7: pressing challenges facing society today, with a particular folks who
36:59
Speaker 7: focus on structure, energy and net zero. There was lots
37:04
Speaker 7: of glad handing, lots of photo opportunities, lots of important
37:08
Speaker 7: people being very important out in the lobby before they
37:12
Speaker 7: got to the to the business end of things. In
37:14
Speaker 7: the ey boardroom. Here we can see Kirs Starmer in
37:18
Speaker 7: the foreground with his wings spread wide, feasting on the
37:20
Speaker 7: rotten carcass of British society. Oh no, sorry, that's not that.
37:24
Speaker 7: That's some vultures around the carcass of a zebra. This
37:28
Speaker 7: is the boardroom here it is, and we can see
37:31
Speaker 7: Starmer and Malik fixing his cuff links, and a whole
37:37
Speaker 7: bunch of business people including right, she isn't the business person,
37:40
Speaker 7: this is member. This is public and private together. So
37:43
Speaker 7: we've got Steve Rotherham across the table there. It's amazing
37:47
Speaker 7: what you can glean just from looking at these photos
37:50
Speaker 7: and the names and everything that pops up. So this
37:52
Speaker 7: is the new Metro mayre for the Liverpool City region, right,
37:56
Speaker 7: So he's one of the key figures leading the devolution
37:59
Speaker 7: process in the Northwest and then sitting immediately next to
38:03
Speaker 7: him at this very important meeting, and this fella Jerome Frost,
38:09
Speaker 7: who's the chair of ARAP. All right, we talk about
38:12
Speaker 7: ARAP quite a bit. They are an extremely interesting British
38:17
Speaker 7: company structural engineers. They basically make the dreams that architects
38:21
Speaker 7: sell reality and they've built a huge number of really
38:26
Speaker 7: iconic international buildings of Sydney Opera House, Coventry Cathedral, the
38:32
Speaker 7: King's Cross redevelopment. They're big on the crossrail initiative, and
38:36
Speaker 7: they've gone all in on sustainability and net zero and
38:40
Speaker 7: ARABS sit absolutely at the heart of the complete physical
38:46
Speaker 7: and technological transformation of importantly our cities, right because really
38:51
Speaker 7: this is about the implementation of the fifteen minute City
38:56
Speaker 7: Connected City agenda, which is a World Comic Forum agenda,
39:01
Speaker 7: and are a partner of the World Economic Forum just
39:03
Speaker 7: like E y R. Right, these convenings, these meetings is
39:08
Speaker 7: how World Economic Forum policy is implemented into the country.
39:14
Speaker 7: This is how it happens, and these people sit absolutely
39:18
Speaker 7: at the heart of it. This is the global fashis
39:21
Speaker 7: system and it's not just the WEF it's c forty importantly,
39:25
Speaker 7: so ARABS actually signed the copp Agreement, the original Paris
39:30
Speaker 7: climate agreement at COP twenty one back in twenty fifteen.
39:34
Speaker 7: Arab were co signatories of that, and at the same
39:37
Speaker 7: time they established a formal partnership with C forty sifties,
39:40
Speaker 7: which is the Global Confederation of Mayors which is currently
39:43
Speaker 7: co chaired by Sadik Kahan, that Steve Rotherham from Liverpool
39:48
Speaker 7: will be very closely LinkedIn to, and that was ostensibly
39:52
Speaker 7: C forty ostensibly set up to solve the supposed climate crisis,
39:56
Speaker 7: and Arab and C forty have been issuing various reports.
40:00
Speaker 7: We spoke about this last year. So this is the
40:03
Speaker 7: future of urban consumption in a one point five degrees
40:06
Speaker 7: see world, and they talk about the huge risks apparently
40:09
Speaker 7: faced by humanity between now and twenty fifty if we
40:12
Speaker 7: don't pay loads of money to ARAP and their mates
40:14
Speaker 7: about things like sea levels rising and food insecurity. Interestingly,
40:18
Speaker 7: so the stuff that might just spoke about will absolutely
40:21
Speaker 7: be part of this agenda, issues like extreme heat that
40:24
Speaker 7: kind of thing, right, and importantly, really importantly for regular
40:31
Speaker 7: viewers in particular, Arab and EWI are both very very
40:35
Speaker 7: very closely linked to common purpose. I've spoken about this
40:39
Speaker 7: extensively with Brian, and obviously Brian and Mike both spoken
40:43
Speaker 7: a lot about common purpose over the years, and they
40:47
Speaker 7: are in the background, but I believe absolutely central to
40:51
Speaker 7: what's happening, and we're going to be talking more about
40:53
Speaker 7: them over the coming weeks to bring them back into frame.
40:57
Speaker 7: And what I'm also particularly interested in, and I think
41:00
Speaker 7: this needs much closer examination, is this Irish relationship.
41:04
Speaker 5: Right.
41:04
Speaker 7: So if we look at the statement that Jerome Frost
41:07
Speaker 7: from Eric put out, we can see at the bottom
41:09
Speaker 7: here excuse me, I've jumped ahead, we can see it's
41:12
Speaker 7: great to see the UK and Ireland partnerships being forged
41:16
Speaker 7: for the future, and Ireland, as people will be well aware,
41:21
Speaker 7: is going into absolute meltdown at the moment. I would
41:24
Speaker 7: say that it is far in advance of where they
41:27
Speaker 7: probably want to get the UK to be, and there's
41:29
Speaker 7: some we're entering extremely dangerous territory in Ireland and also
41:33
Speaker 7: in this country based on the direction to travel that
41:38
Speaker 7: these people have been taking us down. And Starmer in
41:41
Speaker 7: particular has got an extremely close relationship with Ireland. He's
41:46
Speaker 7: very interested in it. He spends a lot of time there.
41:48
Speaker 7: He has a real cultural affinity for it. And apparently
41:51
Speaker 7: he's the most Irish Englishman here according to an Irish newspaper,
41:56
Speaker 7: and both he and Sue Gray and Morgan Sween and
42:00
Speaker 7: Matt Doyle and many other people in the current administration
42:03
Speaker 7: have got links into Ireland. I think it's important for
42:05
Speaker 7: us to look at that and understand what the implications
42:08
Speaker 7: are for the rest of the UK.
42:13
Speaker 1: Ben thank you very much for that. Well, perhaps Ireland
42:16
Speaker 1: should be grateful they haven't been locked into one hundred
42:18
Speaker 1: year partnership with Keir Starmer and its mates, but maybe
42:22
Speaker 1: that's for another discussion. Well, while all this goes on,
42:26
Speaker 1: what about King Charles, Because of course he's fully in
42:30
Speaker 1: bed with everything from the World Economic Forum to these
42:33
Speaker 1: huge global corporations that are the builders the enablers of
42:39
Speaker 1: the World Economic Forum policy. What has he been up to, Well,
42:43
Speaker 1: let's have a look at the important things he'd like
42:46
Speaker 1: to communicate to the ordinary people, the little people. So
42:50
Speaker 1: here's BBC the King reveals his playlist from Marley to Kylie.
42:56
Speaker 1: This is the important headline that you should remember. And
43:00
Speaker 1: there at his desk with a on air sign. If
43:04
Speaker 1: we just bring the subtitle on, the King is putting
43:07
Speaker 1: out a Commonwealth playlist from reggae to disco. So if
43:13
Speaker 1: you're an ordinary person in UK, don't worry that the
43:16
Speaker 1: country's absolutely being destroyed around you to head to build
43:20
Speaker 1: back better because the King is going to keep you
43:23
Speaker 1: occupied with a little bit of music. Let's hear the
43:26
Speaker 1: words from him. From the man himself.
43:31
Speaker 10: Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me.
43:37
Speaker 10: It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories, comfort
43:42
Speaker 10: us in times of sadness, and to take us to
43:45
Speaker 10: distant places. But perhaps above all, it can lift our
43:52
Speaker 10: spirits to such a degree, and all the more so
43:55
Speaker 10: when it brings us together in celebration. In other words,
43:59
Speaker 10: it brings us. So this is what I particularly wanted
44:07
Speaker 10: to share with you, songs which have broke me joy.
44:12
Speaker 10: This seemed such an interesting and innovative way to celebrate
44:16
Speaker 10: this year's comrawth day. Thank you for listening. I wish
44:20
Speaker 10: you all every possible blessing, So.
44:26
Speaker 1: Apologies for that. I know you were struggling there, Mike,
44:29
Speaker 1: because that played out. I do find that that really
44:32
Speaker 1: was an absolutely obscene clip from the King. I mean,
44:37
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what is this man
44:39
Speaker 1: talking about as he sits there, surrounded by his enormous wealth.
44:45
Speaker 1: Music brings him joy. Well, maybe, but what about the
44:49
Speaker 1: suffering of the people, not only in the United Kingdom
44:52
Speaker 1: but worldwide that he could do something about if he
44:55
Speaker 1: were not spending all of his time on building a
44:58
Speaker 1: new world with the World Economic Forum and those global corporations.
45:04
Speaker 1: But let's focus on something that directly concerns the King,
45:08
Speaker 1: and we'll bring on screen here if we can pop
45:10
Speaker 1: this on the series that I've been doing about the
45:14
Speaker 1: children being stolen by the UK state, and I've done
45:17
Speaker 1: three interviews with this young lady, Sam Nas and essentially
45:22
Speaker 1: Sam trafficked into this country in horrible, horrible circumstances, and
45:27
Speaker 1: then when she's given safety in asylum in UK, what
45:31
Speaker 1: happens is that same state turns around and steals her children.
45:37
Speaker 1: And of course the interviews we've been talking about the
45:40
Speaker 1: disgusting things that the UK child stealing system has been doing.
45:46
Speaker 1: But what happens when a young lady like Sam actually
45:49
Speaker 1: writes to King Charles for help. Well, we're going to
45:52
Speaker 1: give you an exclusive on this because we can tell
45:55
Speaker 1: you that she did actually get a reply from Buckingham
45:58
Speaker 1: Palace from the King but obviously through his head of
46:01
Speaker 1: Royal Correspondence, the letters actually up on screen. But the
46:07
Speaker 1: first thing we'd like to tell you is that when
46:09
Speaker 1: a reply was sent back to Sam, it was posted
46:13
Speaker 1: with a second class stamp. And from the video that
46:17
Speaker 1: you've just watched, you will have seen that King Charles
46:20
Speaker 1: barely has two pennies to rub together. He can manage
46:24
Speaker 1: a little bit of music, presumably second hand records to
46:28
Speaker 1: go with his second hand stamp and second hand advice.
46:32
Speaker 1: And if you're not sure what a second second hand
46:35
Speaker 1: stamp looks like, second class stamp, this is where we
46:39
Speaker 1: go to royal mail and we're looking at something like this.
46:43
Speaker 1: So pretty appropriate, but if we get into the meat
46:47
Speaker 1: of what the King had to say, it is truly appalling.
46:51
Speaker 1: Dear Selma, I'm writing to acknowledge receipt of your letter
46:54
Speaker 1: which you sent to His Majesty, the King. Your reasons
46:57
Speaker 1: for sharing your personal story very much appreciated. I must
47:02
Speaker 1: inform you that, as constitutional sovereign, his Majesty is not
47:06
Speaker 1: able to become in ongoing legal cases. While the King
47:10
Speaker 1: is unable to become personally involved. I've been asked to
47:14
Speaker 1: pass on the contact information for the following services that
47:18
Speaker 1: may be able to help in your case, and if
47:21
Speaker 1: you've not done so already, there are a number of
47:24
Speaker 1: support services in London that are available to you. You
47:27
Speaker 1: may wish to reach out directly to the services the
47:31
Speaker 1: Metropolitan Police provide on their website and there's a web address.
47:36
Speaker 1: His Majesty would like me to thank you once again
47:39
Speaker 1: for taking the time to write and share your experiences
47:43
Speaker 1: with him. It shows immense strength and courage to reach
47:47
Speaker 1: out and ask for assistance. The King would have me
47:50
Speaker 1: send you his warmest wishes. So I was utterly stunned
47:56
Speaker 1: when I was given this letter, and of course Samus
48:00
Speaker 1: elf disgusted that the King should follow off more or
48:03
Speaker 1: less with a pat on the head, a second class stamp,
48:07
Speaker 1: tell her to speak to the very authorities, including the police,
48:10
Speaker 1: that have failed her. And then whilst he can get
48:13
Speaker 1: on a world stage to engage with the World Economic
48:16
Speaker 1: Forum or President Zelenski, or travel to America to try
48:20
Speaker 1: and influence President Trump, the King can play his music,
48:25
Speaker 1: but he can't actually engage to help somebody that's been
48:29
Speaker 1: through the trafficking system and had her children stolen. So
48:34
Speaker 1: I who put that back on screen? I just want
48:37
Speaker 1: to emphasis this. It emphasize this just utterly vile that
48:42
Speaker 1: what he actually does, his pats are on the head,
48:45
Speaker 1: tells her that she's a brave little girl, and then
48:48
Speaker 1: recommend she speaks to all the people who failed her
48:51
Speaker 1: to date, and that second class stamp was the final
48:55
Speaker 1: insult for Sam. So I'll leave the public to reflect
48:59
Speaker 1: on the quality of the king that's in our post
49:02
Speaker 1: at the moment. But meanwhile he's been pushing out his
49:05
Speaker 1: Commonwealth message in these uncertain times where it's all too
49:09
Speaker 1: easy to believe that our differences are problems instead of
49:13
Speaker 1: a source of strength and an opportunity for learning the
49:16
Speaker 1: Commonwealth's remarkable collection of nations and people's come together in
49:21
Speaker 1: the spirit of support and crucially friendship. Now remember that
49:26
Speaker 1: King Charles is using the Commonwealth and it's billions of
49:30
Speaker 1: people within the Commonwealth as a power base to help
49:34
Speaker 1: push through his political agenda in line with the World
49:38
Speaker 1: Economic Forum, and in our Green King series you're going
49:42
Speaker 1: to learn more about this. He also added that the
49:45
Speaker 1: Commonwealth's ability to bring together people from all over the
49:48
Speaker 1: world has stood the test of time and remains as
49:52
Speaker 1: ever important today. And of course we know he means
49:56
Speaker 1: this because we've seen all the documentation to do with
50:00
Speaker 1: the use of the Commonwealth in order to help leaver
50:03
Speaker 1: in this rules based international order. So any compassion from
50:09
Speaker 1: the King I don't think so. Any concern for child
50:13
Speaker 1: abuse survivors, I don't think so either. And if the
50:17
Speaker 1: King's not going to give them any help or assistance,
50:20
Speaker 1: might should we be looking to the government for assistance
50:24
Speaker 1: on the issue of child abuse.
50:26
Speaker 2: Probably not. Because the Foreign Secretary has appointed Harriet Harmon
50:30
Speaker 2: as Special Envoy for Women and Girls to champion gender
50:34
Speaker 2: equality worldwide and help deliver economic growth, is what they
50:38
Speaker 2: said in this tweet here. My question is whether or
50:41
Speaker 2: not this is even nearly appropriate and what message it sends,
50:44
Speaker 2: because as the UK Column reported back in twenty eleven,
50:48
Speaker 2: Harriet Harmon in her younger years, was actively campaigning for
50:53
Speaker 2: the legalization of pedophilia, apparently because Harriet Harmon and Patricia
50:57
Speaker 2: hud held, respectively, the post of Legal Officer in General
51:01
Speaker 2: Secretary to the National Council for Civil Liberties is known
51:04
Speaker 2: better these days as liberty and as we say in
51:07
Speaker 2: this article in an NCCL response to the government plan
51:11
Speaker 2: to reform sex laws which were dubbed a Lolita's Charter.
51:15
Speaker 2: At the time, NCCL suggested reducing the age of consent
51:19
Speaker 2: and argued that childhood this is a quote childhood sexual
51:22
Speaker 2: experiences willingly engaged in with an adult result in no
51:26
Speaker 2: identifiable damage. NCCL claimed that children suffer more from having
51:32
Speaker 2: to retell their experiences in court or to the press,
51:35
Speaker 2: and they went on to claim that the new law
51:38
Speaker 2: which has been proposed at the time could lead to
51:40
Speaker 2: quote damaging and absurd prosecutions and increase censorship. And they
51:46
Speaker 2: went on to say that a pornographic photo or film
51:48
Speaker 2: with a child should not be considered indecent unless it
51:51
Speaker 2: could be shown that the child had suffered, and that
51:54
Speaker 2: prosecutors would have to prove harm rather than defendants having
51:58
Speaker 2: to justify themselves. Now NCCL response was signed by Harriet Harmon,
52:03
Speaker 2: so I leave it up to the audience to decide
52:06
Speaker 2: if she should be in this new role, despite any
52:08
Speaker 2: expressions of regret she may have made about this in
52:12
Speaker 2: more recent years.
52:14
Speaker 1: It's disgusting stuff, Mike, and I think the pattern is
52:17
Speaker 1: very clear. I just end this segment a slightly different subject,
52:22
Speaker 1: but if our children are not safe, if our children
52:24
Speaker 1: are being stolen from us, our livelihoods, wealth in the
52:29
Speaker 1: family is being hoovered out by successive governments. And now
52:32
Speaker 1: Keir Stormer, I just wanted to bring people's attention to
52:36
Speaker 1: this and that is essentially over quite a long period,
52:40
Speaker 1: the UK column has been alerted to crimes within the
52:44
Speaker 1: legal system which are going unchecked by the Solicitor's regulational authority.
52:49
Speaker 1: And much of this is to do with the theft
52:51
Speaker 1: of property from vulnerable old people in care facilities, residential
52:57
Speaker 1: homes and nursing homes. And an individual who's done a
53:00
Speaker 1: huge amount of work having a look at what's actually
53:03
Speaker 1: going on has pointed out to me that if we
53:07
Speaker 1: go back to the Legal Profession Act of nineteen seventy four,
53:11
Speaker 1: this act regulated the admission of foreign lawyers into the
53:15
Speaker 1: UK legal profession. By this time, Commonwealth lawyers, including those
53:21
Speaker 1: from India and Pakistan, could qualify as solicitors or barristers
53:25
Speaker 1: in England and Wales. And he's also pointed out the
53:28
Speaker 1: deregulation of probate services nineteen eighty. Over time, probate work,
53:34
Speaker 1: which involves managing the estates of deceased individuals, became a
53:39
Speaker 1: lucrative sector Historically, probate has been controlled by solicitors and
53:44
Speaker 1: specific legal professionals. Reforms in the nineteen eighties and the
53:49
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties opened the field further. Now, what this individual
53:53
Speaker 1: is warning about, and the individual has done huge research
53:57
Speaker 1: in amongst these organizations, is that foreign lawyers or people
54:04
Speaker 1: who claim they're legally trained are coming into UK. They
54:08
Speaker 1: are being given bonafidey positions within legal organizations, they're undertaking
54:14
Speaker 1: criminal activities and then if the heat gets too much,
54:19
Speaker 1: they leave the country, thereby escaping prosecution. And the individual
54:24
Speaker 1: says the key point is that the solicitors Regulation Authority
54:28
Speaker 1: absolutely aware of what's going on, but the scale of
54:32
Speaker 1: it is so massive that they claim they haven't got
54:35
Speaker 1: the resources to deal with it. So we're not pointing
54:38
Speaker 1: a finger, particularly those who've come in from India or Pakistan.
54:43
Speaker 1: What we are saying is that it is clear that
54:46
Speaker 1: people are coming in from a number of countries with
54:49
Speaker 1: questionable legal qualifications and where criminal activity is taking place.
54:55
Speaker 1: The Solicitor's Regulation Authority and indeed the police are simply
55:00
Speaker 1: not investigating children not safe, property not safe, or to
55:05
Speaker 1: people not safe.
55:07
Speaker 2: Indeed, no, Ben, Let's move on to Hubris.
55:13
Speaker 7: Not just Hubris Mike, although Hubis will figure fron and
55:17
Speaker 7: center Hubris meaning overbearing pride or presumption or arrogance, accompanied
55:24
Speaker 7: by missandry, which is hatred of men. And we're gonna
55:30
Speaker 7: have a little bit of there. I describe it as fun.
55:33
Speaker 7: In this last segment, maybe we'll find out and we're
55:36
Speaker 7: going to center it on this image to start with,
55:39
Speaker 7: which is the School of Athens by Raphael. It's been
55:43
Speaker 7: described as his masterpiece and the perfect embodiment of the
55:48
Speaker 7: classical spirit of the Renaissance. It brings together some of
55:51
Speaker 7: the greatest thinkers of antiquity in one image.
55:56
Speaker 6: That there's a problem. There's not enough women in it.
55:59
Speaker 7: So one brave group of ladies decided to do something
56:02
Speaker 7: about it.
56:03
Speaker 6: Let's find out.
56:08
Speaker 11: We almost couldn't get anything that was more the pinnacle
56:11
Speaker 11: of the canon of art history than this. The original
56:14
Speaker 11: painting was set in classical ancient Greece with fifty men
56:18
Speaker 11: in it, including Plato and Aristotle and you know, Pytagonists
56:23
Speaker 11: and people like that. And we just thought, the thing
56:26
Speaker 11: that's incredibly missing from this image is women.
56:32
Speaker 5: We are in the museum building at Trinity, and we
56:37
Speaker 5: are here to try and recreate Raphael's School of Athen's
56:42
Speaker 5: fresco image. So I think it's going to be fun
56:45
Speaker 5: getting everyone up in togas and they're going to recreate
56:48
Speaker 5: it here.
56:49
Speaker 11: Let's put the focus on women, let's celebrate women, Let's
56:53
Speaker 11: have women supporting women, and move out of the way.
56:57
Speaker 12: God.
57:01
Speaker 11: So Trinity College is like the classical embodiment of academia
57:05
Speaker 11: in Ireland, and so we want to, if you like,
57:09
Speaker 11: storm the pinnacle by bringing all of these women in here,
57:14
Speaker 11: posing them in costumes and pose it roughly reminiscent of
57:20
Speaker 11: the original Raphael painting.
57:24
Speaker 9: It's almost exactly one hundred and twenty years since the
57:26
Speaker 9: first female undergraduates were permitted across the threshold of Trinity College,
57:31
Speaker 9: and look where we are now. So this is really
57:34
Speaker 9: a celebration of women in the academy and the extraordinary
57:39
Speaker 9: research and reach. I suppose that women in Ourish society
57:43
Speaker 9: now have across all disciplines.
57:47
Speaker 12: If we look around these hallowed holes today, what's amazing
57:51
Speaker 12: to see is a whole different population and cohort of people, yes, women,
57:55
Speaker 12: but also thinking about women from all their backgrounds and communities,
57:58
Speaker 12: whether that is to say women, whether that's queer women,
58:01
Speaker 12: whether that's trans women, whether that's women of color and
58:04
Speaker 12: of different religious backgrounds. And I think it's both an
58:06
Speaker 12: acknowledgment of the changing in society, the changing in education,
58:10
Speaker 12: but fundamentally the changing of Ireland.
58:17
Speaker 6: Okay, so.
58:21
Speaker 7: It's difficult to know where to start with that, to
58:23
Speaker 7: be honest with you, Like, let's go back to the
58:25
Speaker 7: original image. Yeah, importantly. So this is the school of Athens.
58:30
Speaker 7: This is the picture that we've just seen recreated. And
58:33
Speaker 7: in this image we have Ptolemy, Socrates, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Iogenes, Plato,
58:42
Speaker 7: and Aristotle and others. So these are men that have
58:45
Speaker 7: influenced everything that we have, right, the whole of Western civilization.
58:51
Speaker 7: They laid the intellectual, philosophical, mathematical groundwork for science, with
58:56
Speaker 7: the arts, everything that has gone on to become Western
58:59
Speaker 7: civilization over a period of more than two thousand years, right.
59:04
Speaker 7: And actually it was about two thousand years after the
59:07
Speaker 7: birth of Plato that Rafael painted this piece. So he
59:11
Speaker 7: painted it between fifty and oh nine and fifteen eleven.
59:14
Speaker 7: And this was to honor these men, these great thinkers
59:18
Speaker 7: that he placed into the painting. They didn't place themselves
59:21
Speaker 7: into that painting. They were put into it by Raphael,
59:23
Speaker 7: and they put into it by history, by posterity. Right,
59:27
Speaker 7: and importantly, we have Pato and Aristotle the absolute center
59:30
Speaker 7: of it. Plato on the left in the red robe,
59:33
Speaker 7: Aristotle on the right in the blue robe, and you've
59:36
Speaker 7: decided to replace them with yourselves.
59:41
Speaker 6: Right.
59:41
Speaker 7: So this is Mary Robinson on the left, and I've
59:44
Speaker 7: spoken about her a lot over the past few weeks.
59:47
Speaker 7: So she's running the Dandelions. She's part of this Connected
59:50
Speaker 7: Women Leaders program, and she's decided to participate in this
59:55
Speaker 7: and to base herself in the position of Aristotle, and
59:59
Speaker 7: then in the position Plato.
1:00:00
Speaker 6: On the right hand side.
1:00:01
Speaker 7: We've got a lady called Linda Doyle who was in
1:00:03
Speaker 7: the video there, who's the first female provost of Trinity
1:00:07
Speaker 7: College in Dublin. And the building that they're in is
1:00:10
Speaker 7: the museum building at Trinity College.
1:00:13
Speaker 6: Right.
1:00:13
Speaker 7: Is something about this which is just really difficult to understand,
1:00:18
Speaker 7: like quite why you would put yourself into these positions? Right,
1:00:22
Speaker 7: who's behind it? So if you keep the image back
1:00:25
Speaker 7: up on screen and the ladies to the back right
1:00:27
Speaker 7: of the images, seven ladies there, that's Nicalia and that
1:00:31
Speaker 7: is an art group Nkalia. I've definitely said that wrong.
1:00:36
Speaker 7: I had some coaching from Alex Thompson on how to
1:00:38
Speaker 7: say it, and I think I've completely messed it up.
1:00:40
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Alex. But basically means the Witches.
1:00:43
Speaker 7: So we've got an art group called the Witches who've
1:00:46
Speaker 7: decided to construct this thing and they replaced all of
1:00:51
Speaker 7: these great things of antiquity with a bunch of their mates, basically, right.
1:00:54
Speaker 7: So if you look in this picture and you can
1:00:57
Speaker 7: put a link to the website, you're going to have
1:00:59
Speaker 7: a look at it, and there's a key which shows
1:01:01
Speaker 7: that it's it's a lot of social activists, postmodern professors,
1:01:06
Speaker 7: local government officials, people affiliated with the UN and this,
1:01:13
Speaker 7: I think this is just a great insight into what
1:01:15
Speaker 7: is driving a lot of this. The female and the gender,
1:01:20
Speaker 7: to be honest with you, not by all women, but
1:01:22
Speaker 7: by some women. And it's the kind of women who
1:01:25
Speaker 7: would put themselves in an image like this and replace
1:01:28
Speaker 7: Plato and Aristotle with someone like Mary Robinson, for example.
1:01:32
Speaker 6: You know. Anyway, enough on that for now.
1:01:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about that in extra I have no diet,
1:01:37
Speaker 2: but ben and not just the only thing I have
1:01:39
Speaker 2: to do to join the club is to say that
1:01:41
Speaker 2: I'm a woman.
1:01:42
Speaker 6: Oh indeed, woman, Mike, go ahead.
1:01:49
Speaker 1: No, no, that's okay, that's just I think we'll end
1:01:52
Speaker 1: the UK Column News there. For me, it's tragic that
1:01:56
Speaker 1: we have women being pulled in this sort of into
1:01:59
Speaker 1: this sort of activity, and yet they cannot defend their
1:02:02
Speaker 1: own children in the UK at least. But more than that,
1:02:05
Speaker 1: in extra huge thank you to our audience today wherever
1:02:08
Speaker 1: you are in the world. Thank you very much for
1:02:10

1:02:14
Speaker 1: we do what we do. And Mike and Ben, thank
1:02:17
Speaker 1: you for joining me in the studio. We will be
1:02:20
Speaker 1: back for UK Column Extra in a few minutes, so
1:02:23
Speaker 1: if you're a member of UK Column, stay posted and
1:02:26
