- 0:08Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the sixth of January twenty
- 0:13Speaker 1: twenty five, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK Column News.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Delighted have been Ruben with
- 0:19Speaker 1: me in the studio and we've Diane Rasmus and mcaddy
- 0:24Speaker 1: joining us by link from Scotland. Welcome Diane. Now, first
- 0:30Speaker 1: thing to say to all our viewers and listeners is
- 0:33Speaker 1: thank you very much. All the huge support you gave
- 0:36Speaker 1: us in twenty twenty four thoroughly appreciated, and we want
- 0:41Speaker 1: to say we're here into a new year thanks to
- 0:44Speaker 1: all your support and generosity. We never forget you and
- 0:49Speaker 1: thank you all so much for everything that you've done
- 0:52Speaker 1: for the UK Column to keep our news flow going. Now,
- 0:56Speaker 1: the other thing that happened over the Christmas period was
- 1:00Speaker 1: clear from emails some telephone calls that we did take
- 1:04Speaker 1: over the period that a lot of people feeling very anxious, stressed.
- 1:09Speaker 1: They sense something is badly wrong in the country. They
- 1:13Speaker 1: look at the headlines, they look at the news reports
- 1:17Speaker 1: and there's a sense of confusion and a lot of
- 1:21Speaker 1: stress in people. And today is we've had a look
- 1:24Speaker 1: at the headlines with the BBC of course, we've got
- 1:27Speaker 1: everything from the wars, to the collapse of the NHS
- 1:32Speaker 1: to problems with child abuse, all being thrown at people.
- 1:36Speaker 1: This is not accidental, This is not ordinary people breaking down.
- 1:41Speaker 1: This is the destruction of our country. And as we
- 1:44Speaker 1: said several times last year, if you're confused, think of
- 1:49Speaker 1: it that we're being attacked by our own government. Now,
- 1:52Speaker 1: of course, if I make that statement, we also need
- 1:55Speaker 1: to consider the position of the monarchy. And so for me,
- 1:59Speaker 1: the important part of the news today is a revisit
- 2:02Speaker 1: of the King's Christmas speech. Let's have a look at
- 2:06Speaker 1: a clip.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Earlier this year, as we commemorated the eightieth anniversary of
- 2:15Speaker 2: D Day, the Queen and I had the enormous privilege
- 2:19Speaker 2: of meeting once again the remarkable veterans of that very
- 2:24Speaker 2: special generation who gave themselves so courageously on behalf of us.
- 2:29Speaker 2: All listening to these once young servicemen and women touched
- 2:36Speaker 2: as deeply as they spoke of their comrades drawn from
- 2:41Speaker 2: across the Commonwealth, who never returned and who now rest
- 2:46Speaker 2: peacefully where they made the ultimate sacrifice. Their example of
- 2:52Speaker 2: service and selflessness continues to inspire across the generations during
- 2:59Speaker 2: previous omirations, we were able to console ourselves with the
- 3:04Speaker 2: thought that these tragic events seldom happen in the modern era.
- 3:09Speaker 2: But on this Christmas Day we cannot help but think
- 3:13Speaker 2: of those for whom the devastating effects of conflict in
- 3:18Speaker 2: the Middle East, in Central Europe, in Africa, and elsewhere
- 3:23Speaker 2: pose a daily threat to so many people's lives and livelihoods.
- 3:28Speaker 2: We also think of the humanitarian organizations working tirelessly to
- 3:34Speaker 2: bring vital relief. After all, the Gospels speak so vividly
- 3:41Speaker 2: of conflict and teach the values with which we can
- 3:44Speaker 2: overcome it. The example that Jesus gave us is timeless
- 3:50Speaker 2: and universal. It is to enter the world of those
- 3:55Speaker 2: who suffer, to make a difference to their lives, and
- 4:00Speaker 2: so bring hope where there is a spare. As the
- 4:05Speaker 2: famous Christmas carol once in Royal David's City reminds us,
- 4:11Speaker 2: our Savior Holy came down to Earth from Heaven, lived
- 4:16Speaker 2: among the poor and mean and lowly, and transformed the
- 4:21Speaker 2: lives of those he met through God's redeeming love. That
- 4:27Speaker 2: is the heart of the Nativity story, and we can
- 4:31Speaker 2: hear its beat in the belief of all the great
- 4:34Speaker 2: faiths in the love and mercy of God in times
- 4:38Speaker 2: of joy and of suffering, calling us to bring light
- 4:43Speaker 2: where there is darkness.
- 4:47Speaker 1: So let's say to the audience today. I've looked at
- 4:50Speaker 1: that clip several times and personally I regard it as
- 4:53Speaker 1: one of the most devious speeches that's ever come out
- 4:58Speaker 1: of the royal family. But note how he presents to
- 5:03Speaker 1: the audience. Of course, first of all, it's to roll
- 5:06Speaker 1: off the back of people who gave their lives fighting
- 5:10Speaker 1: for a constitution and a nation and a nation state
- 5:14Speaker 1: that is being destroyed in front of our eyes. There
- 5:17Speaker 1: was the King dripping with medals in front of people
- 5:20Speaker 1: who've earned their medals. The King has not been in
- 5:23Speaker 1: the face of danger at any point to the best
- 5:26Speaker 1: of my knowledge, but he was there flaunting a chest
- 5:30Speaker 1: full of medals. And then I'm saying that is only
- 5:34Speaker 1: a clip of the king's speech, But in the King's
- 5:37Speaker 1: speech massive promotion of the royal family and the good
- 5:41Speaker 1: works that the royal family are doing. Very little actually
- 5:45Speaker 1: comment an engagement with what the foundations of this nation are.
- 5:50Speaker 1: But the really devious part of it was the way
- 5:53Speaker 1: that he manipulated Christian scripture in order to fit in
- 5:57Speaker 1: with an agenda which was clearly on what is the
- 6:01Speaker 1: World Economic Forum system, the sustainable development goals, a rules
- 6:09Speaker 1: based international order, diversity, the importance of the Commonwealth. All
- 6:14Speaker 1: of these were carefully crafted in a speech which was
- 6:19Speaker 1: supposed to reassure the nation that everything was okay, everything
- 6:25Speaker 1: was as it always had been. We were able to
- 6:29Speaker 1: talk about carols, we were able to talk about people
- 6:32Speaker 1: getting together in the streets after riots, and that was
- 6:36Speaker 1: all wonderful. And essentially it was Prince Charles almost preaching
- 6:42Speaker 1: as a messiah himself. And if people are thinking maybe
- 6:46Speaker 1: this is a bit of a strong critique of the
- 6:49Speaker 1: King's speech, there were many other people that picked up
- 6:52Speaker 1: on this, including members of the clergy who've been very
- 6:56Speaker 1: very close to the royal family. But let's have a
- 6:58Speaker 1: look at one of the key things that I found
- 7:01Speaker 1: very deceptive, because, of course, what was the setting. Let's
- 7:05Speaker 1: have a look at what the King actually said about
- 7:08Speaker 1: the setting in which he spoke.
- 7:11Speaker 2: I am speaking to you today from the chapel of
- 7:14Speaker 2: the former Middlesex Hospital in London. Now it's self a
- 7:19Speaker 2: vibrant community space.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Well, of course that wasn't entirely true. Let's bring up
- 7:26Speaker 1: on screen where he really was. And while yes, he
- 7:30Speaker 1: was at the former Middlesex Hospital chapel, what he was
- 7:35Speaker 1: really doing was speaking from the Fitzrovia Chapel. And is
- 7:39Speaker 1: that simple name change important Well, I think it is
- 7:43Speaker 1: because there's a lot behind this so called chapel that
- 7:47Speaker 1: we need to understand, and he chose this place as
- 7:51Speaker 1: the setting for his Christmas speech. So the first thing
- 7:55Speaker 1: is that they were not able to hold the original
- 7:59Speaker 1: name the chapel and it was renamed Fitzrovia. But in
- 8:03Speaker 1: any case, this is unconsecrated space. He describes it as
- 8:07Speaker 1: a vibrant community space. But the key point that the
- 8:11Speaker 1: Christmas audience didn't understand is that the chapel of the
- 8:15Speaker 1: Middlesex Hospital is not and was never consecrated. So what
- 8:21Speaker 1: we get is a misleading presentation about matters spiritual to
- 8:26Speaker 1: the nation. And I think this is particularly important in
- 8:29Speaker 1: relation to the Constitution and the fact that this is
- 8:33Speaker 1: a Christmas speech. So if we put a little bit
- 8:36Speaker 1: of detail in for people here, this is from London
- 8:40Speaker 1: remembers and it gives a little bit of history that
- 8:43Speaker 1: the hospital first opened in seventeen forty five. But basically
- 8:48Speaker 1: the building closed in two thousand and five, was demolished
- 8:51Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, all except the chapel, which
- 8:54Speaker 1: was preserved, and then in twenty twenty four the renaming
- 8:58Speaker 1: battle was lost. And there's further statements from other sites
- 9:03Speaker 1: that the chapel was never consecrated and there's officially a
- 9:06Speaker 1: secular place. And there's a quote here that current trustees
- 9:10Speaker 1: are seeking. I believe this is an old report a
- 9:13Speaker 1: marriage permit, so in theory it could hold a gate
- 9:16Speaker 1: wedding should someone want one in a technically secular but
- 9:21Speaker 1: esthetically undeniable religious setting. So this to me was deception
- 9:27Speaker 1: on the nation to make it appear that he was
- 9:30Speaker 1: in a Christian consecrated setting, but in fact he was
- 9:35Speaker 1: actually talking from a very secular setting. And did he
- 9:40Speaker 1: do this deliberately. Let's have a think about this, because
- 9:44Speaker 1: while he was standing in what many regarded as being
- 9:48Speaker 1: a holy and consecrated setting, what he was actually doing
- 9:53Speaker 1: was carefully putting a speech across which was effect promoting
- 9:58Speaker 1: a one world religion where it didn't really matter your
- 10:01Speaker 1: religion because they were all coming together in one voice,
- 10:05Speaker 1: renewed world. Now, if you want to understand more about
- 10:09Speaker 1: the space they hold other events, and this is one
- 10:13Speaker 1: advertised as coming up in January and February twenty twenty five.
- 10:18Speaker 1: If you have a look at the image on screen,
- 10:20Speaker 1: you might find it very disturbing. And we shouldn't be
- 10:23Speaker 1: surprised because the Roberts Institute of Art that is going
- 10:27Speaker 1: to be occupying this space. I'm not even going to
- 10:30Speaker 1: put up the pictures. We'll just give you some title
- 10:34Speaker 1: Sex Part by Andy Warhol Vauxhall Bridge from a series
- 10:40Speaker 1: Pissing Women. I make no apology for saying and yes
- 10:43Speaker 1: we're talking about urinating women. We've got naked with boxes,
- 10:49Speaker 1: a photograph of a naked woman, Little Savages that is
- 10:53Speaker 1: a fox in resin with an element of decay. We
- 10:58Speaker 1: have body Sign that's photograph of a female pubic area.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And we have untitled blue couple copulating. So this is
- 11:09Speaker 1: the sort of venue that Charles chose, I believe, deliberately
- 11:13Speaker 1: to get his message across and I think that public
- 11:19Speaker 1: really need to be aware of this. So where is
- 11:24Speaker 1: this taking us. It's taking us that we've got an
- 11:27Speaker 1: attack on the constitution and on the nation state. We're
- 11:31Speaker 1: going to see this increasing in the political sector. But
- 11:35Speaker 1: of course the King, as the monarch, has a duty
- 11:40Speaker 1: to uphold and protect not only his subjects but also
- 11:46Speaker 1: the nation state, and it's clear that Charles is fully
- 11:50Speaker 1: committed to helping to destroy the existing nation state as
- 11:55Speaker 1: it stands. I think is die time to bring you
- 12:01Speaker 1: in here, because you've also been looking at this decline
- 12:05Speaker 1: over the Christmas period and you focused on something very different,
- 12:09Speaker 1: but it was the parades in London.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Yes, thanks Brian, and hello been and happy New Year
- 12:16Speaker 3: to everyone out there. I did, of course watch the
- 12:19Speaker 3: King's speech on Christmas Day, thankfully with a mug of
- 12:22Speaker 3: old wine in my hands, which I very much needed,
- 12:25Speaker 3: and I looked at in particular what he was saying
- 12:28Speaker 3: about diversity. So while those degenerate pieces of art that
- 12:31Speaker 3: you just mentioned, it's all going to be included. Let's
- 12:34Speaker 3: hear what King Charles had to say about including everyone
- 12:37Speaker 3: in his speech.
- 12:40Speaker 2: On a recent visit to the South Pacific to attend
- 12:43Speaker 2: the Commonal Summit, I was reminded constantly of the strength
- 12:49Speaker 2: which institutions as well as individuals can draw from one another,
- 12:55Speaker 2: and of how diversity of culture, ethnicity and faith provide strength,
- 13:02Speaker 2: not weakness. Across the Commonwealth. We are held together by
- 13:07Speaker 2: a willingness to listen to each other, to learn from
- 13:10Speaker 2: one another, and to find just how much we have
- 13:14Speaker 2: in common, because through listening we learn to respect our differences,
- 13:23Speaker 2: to defeat prejudice, and to open up new possibilities. I
- 13:27Speaker 2: felt a deep sense of pride here in the United
- 13:31Speaker 2: Kingdom when, in response to anger and lawlessness in several
- 13:36Speaker 2: turns this summer, communities came together not to repeat these behaviors,
- 13:43Speaker 2: but to repair, to repair not just buildings but relationships,
- 13:50Speaker 2: and most importantly, to repair trust by listening and through understanding,
- 13:58Speaker 2: deciding how to act for the good rule.
- 14:05Speaker 3: And of course they're rebuilding. He was referring to some
- 14:08Speaker 3: of the things that happens in twenty twenty four by
- 14:10Speaker 3: members of the British public who you know, in some
- 14:13Speaker 3: ways just had enough and we're trying to make their
- 14:15Speaker 3: voices heard. But what I looked at on New Year's
- 14:18Speaker 3: Day was the London New Year's State Parade, which, if
- 14:21Speaker 3: you are not aware of this, has been running since
- 14:23Speaker 3: in eighteen eighty seven. The sponsors include, not surprisingly BBC London,
- 14:27Speaker 3: and the patrons include, of course who is now Sir
- 14:30Speaker 3: Sadik Khan. So we have kind of the heads of
- 14:33Speaker 3: the major establishment's running this parade. The benefits of the
- 14:38Speaker 3: proceeds were supposed to go to the London charities, the
- 14:40Speaker 3: different boroughs within the city of London. And what I
- 14:43Speaker 3: want to talk about here is that even though it
- 14:45Speaker 3: was London, they were talking about putting London out to
- 14:47Speaker 3: the world through this parade. There was very little British
- 14:50Speaker 3: about the entire parade. In fact, it was a bit
- 14:53Speaker 3: of a mess. The commentators talked about featuring people in
- 14:58Speaker 3: London and in the parade, with twenty six different languages,
- 15:01Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty eight different countries, and so on
- 15:03Speaker 3: and so forth. There were a lot of American marching bands,
- 15:07Speaker 3: which as a former member of American marching band from
- 15:10Speaker 3: my high school days, I don't mind saying that marching
- 15:12Speaker 3: bands are fabulous, but whether or not they belong in London,
- 15:15Speaker 3: I know New Year's Day Parade is a different situation. Altogether.
- 15:18Speaker 3: They had hundreds of students from marching bands that were
- 15:21Speaker 3: showing up. They flew over with their families, so very
- 15:24Speaker 3: American focused and also very not sustainable at all, since
- 15:28Speaker 3: we're so concerned about sustainable development. Here is the normal
- 15:31Speaker 3: marching band from normal Illinois, just as one of many
- 15:34Speaker 3: marching bands. You can see the hundreds that were flown
- 15:37Speaker 3: in for this. I'm just a couple of other still images.
- 15:40Speaker 3: Then we'll show some video. We have Boogie Storm, which
- 15:43Speaker 3: were the dancing Stormtroopers that the commentators were very excited about,
- 15:47Speaker 3: and they did a riveting dance to YMCA. So that
- 15:50Speaker 3: was really great to see YMCA dancing Stormtroopers. One of
- 15:54Speaker 3: the very few British elements that we saw was Molly Hawking,
- 15:58Speaker 3: who was a singer metally from Cornwall. She was wearing
- 16:01Speaker 3: a lovely rainbow colored dress. I wonder what that's about. Uh.
- 16:05Speaker 3: So we have a couple of video clips here. I
- 16:07Speaker 3: just want to show what this was like. And this
- 16:11Speaker 3: is this is I will say in advance that there
- 16:14Speaker 3: are two audio tracks going on. This was on the
- 16:17Speaker 3: side of the stream that I watched it on, which
- 16:20Speaker 3: was through the Associated Press on YouTube. This is not
- 16:22Speaker 3: UK Colin's fault, but I think it's it adds a
- 16:25Speaker 3: communic effect, but it also she just shows how disastrous
- 16:28Speaker 3: this parade came off.
- 16:30Speaker 4: It's a hugely popular vendor event that's really really looked
- 16:33Speaker 4: forward to by so many people who around the world every.
- 16:36Speaker 5: Single year, international cities around the world, but really none
- 16:44Speaker 5: more so than London. So this is just such a
- 16:47Speaker 5: perfect representation of the world CE twenty five.
- 16:54Speaker 4: Absolutely, you know, I think he's probably gone something better
- 16:58Speaker 4: to say to us. Again, I don't know who she's
- 17:01Speaker 4: tells me that she's with Miss Christmas. Wonderful Maria with
- 17:09Speaker 4: the Minims, that great old British vehicle based on the
- 17:13Speaker 4: alex Right, So let's go and see John Shuazi if
- 17:19Speaker 4: you can. It's not we could just enjoy the kid.
- 17:28Speaker 6: Alive.
- 17:32Speaker 3: It's year one and you think I'm going to miss
- 17:34Speaker 3: this little bit of rain. No, this is gil.
- 17:40Speaker 6: Can I say hello to Miss Christmas. There's such a
- 17:43Speaker 6: loving going on there? So we're going to see the
- 17:46Speaker 6: song ray on this Pray what you dream?
- 17:49Speaker 3: John Ray Ray?
- 17:51Speaker 7: Do you know what I pop? Just Miss Christmas.
- 17:54Speaker 6: You're amazing.
- 17:54Speaker 2: I love you, we all love you.
- 17:56Speaker 7: Happy Malii Still.
- 18:03Speaker 1: You know what, Donna?
- 18:04Speaker 4: Maria Miss Christmas has taken part in every single parade
- 18:09Speaker 4: since nineteen eighty seven. She hasn't missed beat. But the
- 18:12Speaker 4: funniest thing was in first grade nineteen eighty seven, we
- 18:16Speaker 4: didn't know she want She just turned up in the
- 18:18Speaker 4: assembly area with a group of Christmas children and her
- 18:23Speaker 4: floats and what on earth is going on here in
- 18:28Speaker 4: Maria Christmas as we know right now, and you know
- 18:33Speaker 4: I just heard that this was happening in seams.
- 18:35Speaker 6: That you were wonderfully.
- 18:39Speaker 3: So we saw Miss Christmas there. We heard a lot
- 18:42Speaker 3: of interesting commentary, two sets of it. Actually that was
- 18:45Speaker 3: the I hope I can say this correctly. I probably
- 18:47Speaker 3: want to be the Shri moved to Jivan Swami Bapa
- 18:51Speaker 3: pipe band, which is based out of a Hindu temple
- 18:54Speaker 3: in London. I would have to say, being in Scotland
- 18:57Speaker 3: that there would be many pipe bands from Scottish answers
- 19:00Speaker 3: that would have been happy to have served in the
- 19:02Speaker 3: London Parade, but they were not invited. I also next
- 19:05Speaker 3: want to show you the Westminster's entry into the parade,
- 19:10Speaker 3: which is the Sustainable Development Goals Bus or Sustainabus, which
- 19:15Speaker 3: kind of sounds like stay on the bus. But I
- 19:17Speaker 3: want to read you what it said on the website
- 19:19Speaker 3: about what it was supposed to look like, and then
- 19:20Speaker 3: I want you to see what it actually looked like.
- 19:22Speaker 3: So what it said is that it would feature a
- 19:24Speaker 3: dazzling display of sustainable fashion with stunning carnival costumes and
- 19:28Speaker 3: energetic dancers. A highlight of the parade will be an
- 19:31Speaker 3: open top ev bus where a renowned band will perform
- 19:34Speaker 3: live music. The parade will also showcase younger participants embracing
- 19:38Speaker 3: a healthy sustainable lifestyle, riding electric bikes while sporting eco
- 19:43Speaker 3: friendly sportswear. But let's see what it actually looked like.
- 19:45Speaker 3: I've got two separate clips of the sustainables that I
- 19:48Speaker 3: picked up from the video.
- 19:52Speaker 5: Well, I must say I do have a soft spot
- 19:53Speaker 5: in my heart for the borough and the City of Westminster,
- 19:56Speaker 5: as that is where my rooms are here, this beautiful city.
- 20:02Speaker 5: So I'm a little bit biased, I must say, I
- 20:04Speaker 5: can help myself.
- 20:09Speaker 4: Well, of course we all owe a debt of gratitude
- 20:11Speaker 4: to the City of Westminster because they let us come
- 20:14Speaker 4: into their borough every year in the heart of London
- 20:17Speaker 4: and perform the parade. And Westminster really is the heart
- 20:20Speaker 4: of London. This is the Westminster City of Western in
- 20:25Speaker 4: the Borough competition this year float based all around sustainability
- 20:32Speaker 4: out there as well.
- 20:33Speaker 2: It's they're all men.
- 20:34Speaker 4: Who's gone between them?
- 20:35Speaker 5: But thank you very well, And as you were saying,
- 20:39Speaker 5: the City of Westminster really known as sort of the
- 20:41Speaker 5: heart of London boasting over one. I'm sorry, eleven thousand
- 20:48Speaker 5: buildings of interest. That's not eleven thousand buildings, eleven thousand
- 20:52Speaker 5: buildings of interest, of historical interest and cultural interest. And
- 20:57Speaker 5: you really can't take a step without finding something historically
- 21:02Speaker 5: interesting in Westminster.
- 21:07Speaker 3: So I don't know about you, Brandon, Ben, but I
- 21:09Speaker 3: will certainly not be planning a trip to the twenty
- 21:12Speaker 3: twenty sixth London New Year's Day Parade. I don't know
- 21:14Speaker 3: what you think.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Well, I think lots of things. Some of that will
- 21:18Speaker 1: be for extra time, Diane. But clearly there is a
- 21:22Speaker 1: big agenda going on, and that is to destroy the
- 21:26Speaker 1: identity of this country. It's very clear, and of course
- 21:31Speaker 1: those sustainable goals are a key part of that. But
- 21:35Speaker 1: let's get into a bit more of the detailers to
- 21:38Speaker 1: what's going on with Ben.
- 21:41Speaker 8: Indeed, yes, that was certainly the best that Westminster has
- 21:44Speaker 8: to offer, I think, is what I would say about that.
- 21:46Speaker 8: So I'm happy to every New Year everybody. It's great
- 21:49Speaker 8: to be here. I'm going to talk about grooming gangs
- 21:53Speaker 8: is top of the agenda, as you will no doubt
- 21:56Speaker 8: have noticed if you've been paying attention to the news.
- 21:58Speaker 8: It's been thrust back into the public discourse over the
- 22:02Speaker 8: past few days. There are people using these tragic issues
- 22:08Speaker 8: as a political football, and it actually looks like this
- 22:12Speaker 8: has the potential to overwhelm the labor government. I'm going
- 22:16Speaker 8: to start by showing a few clips from a video
- 22:21Speaker 8: released on January third by a former political insider turned whistleblower,
- 22:26Speaker 8: Raja Miya.
- 22:31Speaker 7: Children were picked up from outside school gates. Teachers knew,
- 22:36Speaker 7: pastoral teams went looking for children and picked them up
- 22:39Speaker 7: from houses. And these are fourteen year old girls, white girls,
- 22:42Speaker 7: fourteen year old working from houses with Asian men in
- 22:47Speaker 7: the thirties, forties, fifties. There's statutory safeguarding protocols that should
- 22:53Speaker 7: have been followed. All of that went by, by the way,
- 22:55Speaker 7: so of course, the Classic Takeaways and the Nighttime Economy organized.
- 23:00Speaker 7: It was organized. Shabier Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale
- 23:04Speaker 7: grooming gang, worked out of a community center. He was
- 23:08Speaker 7: selling children out of a community center. He had a
- 23:11Speaker 7: black book of his you know, and he was making appointments,
- 23:15Speaker 7: all of it hidden. He was establishment. He also was
- 23:19Speaker 7: a senior figure on the board of trustees of the
- 23:23Speaker 7: Citizens and Vice Bureau. These are establishment Asian figures involved
- 23:28Speaker 7: in the systematic grooming and gang grape of working class
- 23:31Speaker 7: white girls. And Shabier Ahmed was a prominent figure in
- 23:34Speaker 7: the Labor Party and there are counselors to this day
- 23:36Speaker 7: in that Council Chamber who knew him.
- 23:41Speaker 8: So Brian has just said to me, well, the clip
- 23:43Speaker 8: was playing that that is a very brave man. And
- 23:45Speaker 8: I have to say I agree with him. So that's Rajamir,
- 23:49Speaker 8: As I said, he's a former political insider as a
- 23:51Speaker 8: clip from a video that was released on his YouTube channel.
- 23:55Speaker 8: Provide a link to it in the show notes as ever,
- 23:59Speaker 8: and I believe we've done in partnership with Turning Point UK,
- 24:02Speaker 8: so all credit to them. Is a very very powerful
- 24:05Speaker 8: film about ten minutes long. I'm going to show more
- 24:07Speaker 8: a couple more clips in a moment. But this is
- 24:09Speaker 8: an extraordinarily important topic. Is something the column have been
- 24:13Speaker 8: covering for many many years. In fact, really this was
- 24:17Speaker 8: the founding issue for the UK Column, addressing issues of
- 24:20Speaker 8: child abuse and the abuse of power by establishment figures,
- 24:25Speaker 8: in this instance Asian men in Oldham. Mister Meyer here
- 24:30Speaker 8: is based in Oldham. But this is something that we've
- 24:32Speaker 8: seen across the north of England in Rocksdale, Rotherham, many
- 24:35Speaker 8: other towns, and it is a stain on the conscience
- 24:41Speaker 8: and the soul of the nation. For my money, we've
- 24:47Speaker 8: got another clip now where mister Meyer is going to
- 24:50Speaker 8: explain a bit more about what's been going on.
- 24:54Speaker 7: These were racially motivated crimes. Were the victims were white
- 24:58Speaker 7: and considered to be an underclass by a metropolitan liberal
- 25:02Speaker 7: so called liberal elite of Why to consider these white
- 25:05Speaker 7: girls to be And this isn't my words, you know,
- 25:08Speaker 7: making lifestyle choices. These are the words of the social workers.
- 25:12Speaker 7: How can a twelve year old girl make a lifestyle
- 25:14Speaker 7: choice to be in a takeaway on the top floor,
- 25:17Speaker 7: a takeaway with twenty men downstairs waiting to take their turn.
- 25:21Speaker 7: It's it's horrific. Once you go into the graphic details
- 25:23Speaker 7: of what happened, is is horrific. Yet none of these
- 25:27Speaker 7: people are arrested, None of these people have been prosecuted.
- 25:30Speaker 6: Why.
- 25:30Speaker 7: It's because working class white girls were a price worth paying.
- 25:35Speaker 7: They didn't matter enough in a town like mine. They
- 25:38Speaker 7: didn't matter enough. What did matter enough was vote, vote power,
- 25:44Speaker 7: one votes and power. The girls were white, and these
- 25:48Speaker 7: were racially motivated crimes, no doubt whatsoever. You take the
- 25:52Speaker 7: definition of racism in any other context, applight in ear
- 25:55Speaker 7: and every marker will be ticked. These were racially motivated crimes.
- 26:00Speaker 7: As white working class.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Girls, which demographic is responsible for grooming and rape in
- 26:04Speaker 1: these Northern.
- 26:04Speaker 7: Ta scandals predominantly Pakistani, occasionally Bangladesia, almost exclusively Muslim. And
- 26:09Speaker 7: I've been arrested for saying that, and I'll keep saying that.
- 26:16Speaker 8: Joy jumpin bright.
- 26:17Speaker 1: I want to say, here's an immensely brave man. But
- 26:20Speaker 1: the key thing for our viewers and listeners to understand
- 26:23Speaker 1: is all of the investigative work that the UK column
- 26:26Speaker 1: has done over a great many years always comes back
- 26:29Speaker 1: to the fact that the system which allows the abuse
- 26:33Speaker 1: to take place isn't just gangs, it's institutional. It's across
- 26:38Speaker 1: all of the very government systems and agencies that say
- 26:43Speaker 1: they are there to protect the children, and many of
- 26:46Speaker 1: the children being abused are themselves within the supposed care system.
- 26:51Speaker 1: So this gentleman, I believe, is giving a very honest
- 26:55Speaker 1: and accurate view of what he sees on the streets.
- 26:59Speaker 1: But the reality is that the abuse across the country
- 27:04Speaker 1: over a great many years, we're certainly talking the last
- 27:07Speaker 1: fifty years, has been facilitated with the help and connivance
- 27:13Speaker 1: of the political system itself. It operates through the political system,
- 27:19Speaker 1: through the courts, through the care system, and that is
- 27:23Speaker 1: what the survivors who come to the UK column to
- 27:25Speaker 1: tell their stories inever, inevitably get to is to say
- 27:31Speaker 1: that everywhere we went for help, we were turned away.
- 27:35Speaker 1: And indeed, the very brave met former Met Police officer
- 27:39Speaker 1: John Wedger was victimized by the Met Police for telling
- 27:43Speaker 1: exactly the same story that this Asian gentleman is telling.
- 27:47Speaker 1: And this is what the wider public in UK need
- 27:51Speaker 1: to understand. So my belief is what we're seeing here
- 27:54Speaker 1: is that this system has been sorry. This situation has
- 27:59Speaker 1: been deliberately created in order to increase pressure and tension
- 28:05Speaker 1: between the community. Because if the government can achieve breakdown
- 28:11Speaker 1: and real violence on the streets between communities in UK,
- 28:16Speaker 1: then of course all of the lockdowns and the rulespase
- 28:21Speaker 1: international system can be enforced very easily. So we are
- 28:26Speaker 1: seeing a political system callously using child abuse as the
- 28:33Speaker 1: weapon to manipulate the change of gender in this country.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Back to you, Ben.
- 28:43Speaker 8: I don't know what we're to say about it after that, Brian.
- 28:46Speaker 8: I mean, this is your topic, to be honest with you,
- 28:48Speaker 8: but I believe this is the most powerful and most
- 28:52Speaker 8: divisive tool that they've got in their arsenal to come
- 28:55Speaker 8: at us atially. And this is frankly, why this is
- 28:58Speaker 8: coming to the fore right now. You know, this issue
- 29:01Speaker 8: of a racial division is absolutely central to the plans
- 29:06Speaker 8: for the breakdown of the nation and the implementation of
- 29:09Speaker 8: this new global system. This is this is this is
- 29:12Speaker 8: what we're seeing happen, and this is why this is
- 29:15Speaker 8: being allowed to bubble up to the surface. It's on
- 29:17Speaker 8: the front page of the BBC website today, for example,
- 29:20Speaker 8: where it hasn't been for a very long time. Right,
- 29:22Speaker 8: And we've got one final clip here from from Rajama.
- 29:27Speaker 7: This town is run by gangsters and the Labor Party
- 29:30Speaker 7: are in bed with gangsters. And the reason why they're
- 29:34Speaker 7: in bed with them is because they're reliant on the
- 29:36Speaker 7: block vote. And I'm not on about wider gangsters, very
- 29:39Speaker 7: specific Pakistani gangsters, Bangladesi gangsters, the islam Is from the mosque.
- 29:44Speaker 7: The Labor Party have made partnerships with the most despicable
- 29:48Speaker 7: of groups and they are reliant on these people to
- 29:50Speaker 7: provide them with a block volt to stay in power.
- 29:53Speaker 7: They've sold our children and they look the other way.
- 29:56Speaker 7: These people pedal drugs. And if you go to every
- 29:58Speaker 7: one of these towns, what you will think. And this
- 30:01Speaker 7: is a bit I find really troubling liberal white women,
- 30:06Speaker 7: you know. So I'm talking about and I'm saying the
- 30:07Speaker 7: word women on purpose, you know, I'm like part of
- 30:10Speaker 7: me thinks these are girls who've been gang raped. Surely
- 30:13Speaker 7: there's some sort of empathy with women. Yeah, And these
- 30:16Speaker 7: are liberal white women who are quite happy to forget
- 30:19Speaker 7: all of that because it comes back to politics. All
- 30:22Speaker 7: all of this comes back to politics and the protection
- 30:24Speaker 7: of the Labor Party and the dependency the Labor Party
- 30:27Speaker 7: has on these block votes.
- 30:32Speaker 1: I'll just add to that benefit man. And of course
- 30:34Speaker 1: we've had the Exa Child Abuse Inquiry, where for as
- 30:38Speaker 1: just one example, a key witness to help the whole
- 30:42Speaker 1: inquiry unfold, establish itself and unfold, was ultimately not permitted
- 30:48Speaker 1: to give evidence of the inquiry. Why, presumably because that
- 30:52Speaker 1: individual knew so much it was going to break the
- 30:56Speaker 1: lid outside of the control of the government set up
- 31:00Speaker 1: ex Or inquiry There's a lot more to be said
- 31:02Speaker 1: on that, but the UK column position is very clear.
- 31:06Speaker 1: What we are watching is the cynical use of real
- 31:10Speaker 1: abuse in order to ultimately cause breakdown in society. And
- 31:16Speaker 1: people in UK of whatever color or religion or none,
- 31:21Speaker 1: need to be really aware of what this malicious international
- 31:26Speaker 1: government system is trying to unbleash.
- 31:29Speaker 8: And it runs right down to the frontline of local
- 31:33Speaker 8: politics as well. I think is absolutely crucial for people
- 31:36Speaker 8: to understand. I mean, Brian's just said a moment ago,
- 31:38Speaker 8: this is the entire system he's talked about the social workers.
- 31:41Speaker 8: You've got people who are in positions of a custodial positions,
- 31:44Speaker 8: safeguarding positions are supposed to be taken care of these
- 31:47Speaker 8: young people, these young women, and they are trading their
- 31:52Speaker 8: lives for power for votes. Is absolutely disgusting. And this
- 31:57Speaker 8: is the labor government that is currently in power in
- 32:00Speaker 8: this country. And I think interestingly we've talked about the
- 32:02Speaker 8: racial dynamic. Actually he brought up there the issue of
- 32:06Speaker 8: liberal women, which I think is particularly interesting given how
- 32:10Speaker 8: often we're being told that we need to have more
- 32:14Speaker 8: women in the publics, in the public sphere, in the
- 32:16Speaker 8: public domain, put into political office. Right, you know, this
- 32:20Speaker 8: is not just about men. It's about men and women
- 32:23Speaker 8: and the system that has enabled this abuse for decades.
- 32:27Speaker 8: And where does that lead to? It leads to violence
- 32:29Speaker 8: on the streets. This is from August last year. Yeah,
- 32:34Speaker 8: this was sparked off by the killings in Southport, but
- 32:38Speaker 8: it was caused by the context of decades of institutional abuse,
- 32:44Speaker 8: decades of racialized abuse carried out by gangsters. I'm not
- 32:48Speaker 8: saying that all Muslims are abuses, by the way. And actually,
- 32:50Speaker 8: if you go and watch that video in full, the
- 32:52Speaker 8: Rajamir video, which I highly suggest you do, it's only
- 32:55Speaker 8: about ten minutes long. He talks about the fact that
- 32:57Speaker 8: there are moderate Muslims, normal people who are calling this
- 33:01Speaker 8: out in these towns, and he's just one very brave
- 33:03Speaker 8: example of that.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:06Speaker 8: But it has led to violence, We've seen it. As
- 33:10Speaker 8: King Charles so glibally put it, anger and lawlessness on
- 33:15Speaker 8: the streets of the UK couldn't possibly be explained by
- 33:18Speaker 8: anything other, you know, other than just anger and lawlessness.
- 33:21Speaker 8: Racist these awful racist you know, none of this context
- 33:25Speaker 8: was provided in the press coverage that we saw in
- 33:27Speaker 8: the wake of the riots back in August, Right, we're
- 33:30Speaker 8: just talking about awful racists, awful Islamophobes who've got absolutely
- 33:34Speaker 8: no reason to be angry or upset. And this is
- 33:40Speaker 8: only I'm afraid to say, You're going to get worse
- 33:43Speaker 8: over the coming weeks. And we've got to really watch
- 33:45Speaker 8: this as a nation.
- 33:46Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:46Speaker 8: So we've got people internationally who are using this as
- 33:50Speaker 8: a tool to agitate the political discourse, to cause unrest,
- 33:54Speaker 8: to the point of Elon Musk actually saying should America
- 33:57Speaker 8: liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government? This
- 34:01Speaker 8: is still running on x at the moment. I would
- 34:04Speaker 8: just say that to the sixty seven percent of people
- 34:06Speaker 8: who've said yes, be careful what you wish for, right.
- 34:10Speaker 8: We don't actually know what that means or whether that's
- 34:12Speaker 8: heading to right. This could end up being really quite
- 34:14Speaker 8: dark territory if we're not careful. We've even had Musk's
- 34:18Speaker 8: own father, Eryl Musk, on gb News talking about the
- 34:23Speaker 8: backlash against Starmer being enormous. They must go. By February,
- 34:28Speaker 8: I imagine he will be gone. What does Eryl Musk
- 34:30Speaker 8: know about this situation? And also Eryl Musk has just
- 34:34Speaker 8: had his second child with his own step daughter. Why
- 34:37Speaker 8: is he commenting on issues of public decency to the
- 34:41Speaker 8: British people, and Starmer himself has stepped into the breach
- 34:44Speaker 8: on this this morning. We've got a short video clip
- 34:47Speaker 8: here and where he gives his position on the discourse
- 34:51Speaker 8: there's been developing over the weekend.
- 34:55Speaker 9: Those that are spreading lies and in this information as
- 34:58Speaker 9: far and as wide as possible, it's not interested in victims.
- 35:05Speaker 9: They're interested in themselves. Those were cheerleading Tommy Robinson, not
- 35:11Speaker 9: interested in justice. They're supporting a man who went to
- 35:15Speaker 9: prison for merely collapsing a brooming case, a gang grooming case.
- 35:22Speaker 3: These are people are trying to.
- 35:23Speaker 9: Get some kind of the careless drill into street violence
- 35:26Speaker 9: that people like Tommy Robinson of the Wood and those
- 35:29Speaker 9: at Tappy, Jess Phillips, who I'm proud to call a
- 35:32Speaker 9: colleague and a friend, not protecting victims. Jess Phillips has
- 35:37Speaker 9: done a thousand times more than they've even dreamed that
- 35:41Speaker 9: when it comes to protecting victims of sexual abuse to
- 35:45Speaker 9: have its entire career. And so, just as I took
- 35:49Speaker 9: on the criminal justice system and the institutions when I
- 35:52Speaker 9: was Chief Prosecutor, are prepared to call out this for
- 35:55Speaker 9: what it is. We've seen this playbook many times, whipping
- 36:01Speaker 9: up intimidation and threats of violence, hoping that the media
- 36:06Speaker 9: will amplify it. Just Phillips does not need me or
- 36:11Speaker 9: anybody else to speak on her behalf. But when the
- 36:16Speaker 9: freason of the far right least to serious threats to
- 36:22Speaker 9: just Phillips and others. But in my book, a live
- 36:26Speaker 9: has been crossed.
- 36:30Speaker 8: It's just lies and disinformation and the far right trying
- 36:35Speaker 8: to cause trouble. There's nothing behind this as far as
- 36:37Speaker 8: Starmer's concerned. He calls out Tommy Robinson a couple of times,
- 36:41Speaker 8: demonizing him for revealing child abuse. I'm no fan of
- 36:44Speaker 8: Tommy Robinson, but to hear Starmer say that is quite striking.
- 36:49Speaker 3: And also he.
- 36:50Speaker 8: Stands rush to the defense of Jess Phillips, who is
- 36:53Speaker 8: the Safeguarding Minister who was rejected calls for a public
- 36:57Speaker 8: inquiry into these issues. Is she doing as the safeguarding Minister?
- 37:02Speaker 8: But now it's really important just to reiterate here because
- 37:06Speaker 8: this is going to be used as a way to
- 37:08Speaker 8: drive division into the country. We need to unite, not divide.
- 37:11Speaker 8: Right crucially, this is not just about Islam. It's not
- 37:15Speaker 8: just about Muslims. This is a systemic problem runs right
- 37:19Speaker 8: to the top of the establishment, from Ted Heath to
- 37:23Speaker 8: Cyril Smith, Lord Janner Savile, right up to the top
- 37:31Speaker 8: levels of the royal family. Let's bring things up to
- 37:34Speaker 8: date a little bit. Hugh Edwards, the man who delivered
- 37:37Speaker 8: the news on the BBC for the past fifteen twenty years,
- 37:42Speaker 8: himself court paying for videos of children being raped in
- 37:47Speaker 8: the last year. No penalty for him. And of course
- 37:55Speaker 8: Starmer himself, who, while he was directed with public prosecutions,
- 37:59Speaker 8: had full his ability of the soul case and also
- 38:03Speaker 8: personally intervened to reduce sentencing for child abuse issues. So
- 38:07Speaker 8: he has every wife every right I believe to be
- 38:10Speaker 8: concerned about where this is heading.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Serious stuff, Thank you, Ben. Obviously we're going to be
- 38:17Speaker 1: looking at a lot more of this in the coming
- 38:19Speaker 1: days and weeks, but it's very clear to us people
- 38:22Speaker 1: have got to look into the whole subject of abuse
- 38:25Speaker 1: in a much deeper and analytical way to really see
- 38:28Speaker 1: what's happening. Now. I've said it really at the start
- 38:32Speaker 1: of the news. A huge thank you to everybody supporting us.
- 38:36Speaker 1: If you're not already a member of UK column, then
- 38:38Speaker 1: please become a member, or of course you can make
- 38:41Speaker 1: a donation, or you can shop with the UK column
- 38:45Speaker 1: and we have people who sign up for lifetime membership
- 38:49Speaker 1: as well as the other membership options. And we're always
- 38:54Speaker 1: wanting to say share the material because this is why
- 38:57Speaker 1: we research and this is why we produce them. So
- 39:01Speaker 1: push it out as far and wide as you can. Now.
- 39:04Speaker 1: I just want to say that I picked one email
- 39:07Speaker 1: from one of our supporters today who pushed through this
- 39:13Speaker 1: tweet which he'd come across an X from a gentleman
- 39:17Speaker 1: called Charles Muddy, and the key statement is here. I
- 39:21Speaker 1: reached a number of conclusions, primarily that the British Museum
- 39:26Speaker 1: appears to not only hate Britain and British history, but
- 39:30Speaker 1: also paradoxically to really rather dislike the museum itself. And
- 39:35Speaker 1: what had caused this comment was the fact that as
- 39:38Speaker 1: he walked through the museum bookshop, this gentleman was astonished
- 39:42Speaker 1: to see book after book attacking everything that was to
- 39:47Speaker 1: do with the identity of being British or the British
- 39:51Speaker 1: history or British culture, and he came to the conclusion
- 39:54Speaker 1: that this was effectively an attack on society itself. I
- 40:00Speaker 1: didn't prompt that email, but coming in as a comment
- 40:03Speaker 1: from the wider public. Now, I also want to say
- 40:06Speaker 1: that tomorrow I'll be putting out the first of a
- 40:09Speaker 1: series of interviews with women who were abused as very
- 40:13Speaker 1: young girls at the Vanethi Institution in Scotland. The first
- 40:18Speaker 1: interviews with Lynn Sheering. That will be going out tomorrow
- 40:22Speaker 1: at one o'clock, so tune in to see that. And
- 40:26Speaker 1: we're not talking so much about the actual abuse itself,
- 40:30Speaker 1: but the effect on these women's lives and how they've
- 40:34Speaker 1: dealt with abuse, which was often in very short periods.
- 40:38Speaker 1: So for the girls that we've heard about in the
- 40:41Speaker 1: earlier segment of the news, we can really understand the damage.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Now we've talked about King Charles, let's also just focus
- 40:50Speaker 1: a little bit on Keir Starmer because he also made
- 40:54Speaker 1: a speech at Christmas. First of all, let's focus on
- 40:57Speaker 1: the image he likes to give of him. Fear is
- 41:00Speaker 1: the educated man, properly dressed with a tie, he's carrying
- 41:05Speaker 1: a book. This all signifies intelligence and the fact that
- 41:09Speaker 1: he's a professional man in post running the country. Note
- 41:14Speaker 1: Keir Starmer's dress when he chooses to talk to the
- 41:19Speaker 1: wider public.
- 41:22Speaker 10: Twenty twenty four was a year of change, not sadly
- 41:26Speaker 10: in the football another agonizingly close shave for England, but
- 41:32Speaker 10: changing politics with the election of this Labor government in July,
- 41:37Speaker 10: and more importantly with the work of change that we've begun.
- 41:42Speaker 10: So I want to be clear, until you can look
- 41:45Speaker 10: forward and believe in the promise and the prosperity of
- 41:48Speaker 10: Britain again, then this government will fight for you, a
- 41:53Speaker 10: fight for change that will define this year, next year,
- 41:57Speaker 10: and indeed every waking hour of this government. We have
- 42:01Speaker 10: a clear plan for change, a chance with the eightieth
- 42:07Speaker 10: anniversary of ve and VJ Day to cherish the greatest
- 42:12Speaker 10: victories of this country and the greatest generation that achieved it.
- 42:16Speaker 10: The eighth of May and the fifteenth of August will
- 42:20Speaker 10: both be wonderful moments to come together and do that
- 42:24Speaker 10: generation proud the security of working people. That is the
- 42:31Speaker 10: purpose of this government, the goal of our plan for change,
- 42:35Speaker 10: and we will push it forward in twenty twenty five. So,
- 42:40Speaker 10: wherever and however you're celebrating tonight on behalf of the government,
- 42:45Speaker 10: happy new Year. Here's to a year of changing Britain
- 42:49Speaker 10: for the better.
- 42:53Speaker 1: Obviously that Cliff has been edited to shorten it down.
- 42:56Speaker 1: But the key point for people to understand is one
- 43:00Speaker 1: the scorn which he regards the public. He can't be
- 43:04Speaker 1: bothered to dress properly. He's going to be scruffy. He's
- 43:07Speaker 1: also going to talk about football because that apparently resonates
- 43:11Speaker 1: with all of us. And the key message that he
- 43:14Speaker 1: gave was that there is going to be continual change
- 43:18Speaker 1: in this country. Continual change is of course revolution, and
- 43:23Speaker 1: where he is he heading towards his World Economic Forum
- 43:27Speaker 1: rules based international order. This man is talking about the
- 43:31Speaker 1: complete breakdown of society in this country in order to
- 43:37Speaker 1: achieve the agenda that he is agreed overseas in Davos,
- 43:41Speaker 1: and which he's boasted in BBC interviews as his preferred
- 43:45Speaker 1: place to do business because he can get things done.
- 43:49Speaker 1: So whenever you hear Keir Starmer or any other politician
- 43:54Speaker 1: talk about change, this is change from the nation state
- 43:58Speaker 1: that you think you live in in to the new
- 44:00Speaker 1: rules based international order. And we haven't even got started
- 44:04Speaker 1: on describing what that actually means.
- 44:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:08Speaker 8: Well, a rules based international order that comes from places
- 44:12Speaker 8: like the World Economic Forums we've already touched on and
- 44:16Speaker 8: is predicated on the closer integration of human and technological
- 44:20Speaker 8: systems using artificial intelligence. The theme for the World Economic
- 44:24Speaker 8: Forum this year is Collaboration for the intelligent age. They
- 44:28Speaker 8: are going to completely transform the economy. It's already well underway,
- 44:32Speaker 8: and they're moving now towards the transformation of political systems.
- 44:36Speaker 8: We've talked about this a lot over the past few
- 44:38Speaker 8: months and we're going to continue to This is going
- 44:40Speaker 8: to be one of the biggest themes of this year
- 44:42Speaker 8: World Economic Forum in Davos coming up at the end
- 44:44Speaker 8: of the month, of course, so we'll be covering that
- 44:46Speaker 8: in detail. But let me just draw your attention to
- 44:49Speaker 8: this quote here from Lisa Whitter from the Apolitical Foundation,
- 44:52Speaker 8: who is a World Economic Forum global leader. She says,
- 44:55Speaker 8: the future of political leadership is an intersection between political
- 44:59Speaker 8: leadership and AI. Two years ago, there was a poll
- 45:03Speaker 8: throughout Europe showing fifty one percent thought that it would
- 45:05Speaker 8: be better to replace politicians with AI. This isn't something
- 45:08Speaker 8: in the future, this is a now topic. The political classes,
- 45:13Speaker 8: the civil service, they're going to be running on top
- 45:15Speaker 8: of the digital system, the rules based digital system, algorithmic
- 45:19Speaker 8: system that is going to be telling them what to
- 45:21Speaker 8: do and what they can't do. Right, the humanity is
- 45:25Speaker 8: going to be slowly and then very quickly removed from
- 45:28Speaker 8: the equation. We're going to be governed by technology. And
- 45:31Speaker 8: as regular viewers will know, a political have been asked
- 45:34Speaker 8: to establish a future vision for the whole of the country. Right,
- 45:37Speaker 8: these are the people setting out the vision and technological
- 45:41Speaker 8: roadmap for the transformation of our society into something that
- 45:45Speaker 8: it's never been before.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Right.
- 45:47Speaker 8: How they're going to do it? Well, we've talked about
- 45:49Speaker 8: divide and rule, right, so racial division issues relating to
- 45:55Speaker 8: gender identity, sexual orientation, the racial issue you which is
- 46:01Speaker 8: obviously front and center, the the gender wars that we've
- 46:05Speaker 8: again touched on already today, and I think particularly intergenerational warfare. Right,
- 46:10Speaker 8: That's what I'm particularly concerned about. Right, they are turning
- 46:14Speaker 8: gen Z Jen Alpha, and in fact even just all
- 46:17Speaker 8: of these artificial divisions that they're placing between us, from
- 46:20Speaker 8: boomers all the way down to Jen Beeter I think
- 46:23Speaker 8: I heard brought up earlier on today, are designed to
- 46:27Speaker 8: create divisions.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Right.
- 46:28Speaker 8: The humanity is just a single continuum. We're all integrated
- 46:31Speaker 8: and all into linked with each other. All of these
- 46:33Speaker 8: divisions are designed to create waits for them to break
- 46:41Speaker 8: society apart ultimately, and we're going to see a lot
- 46:44Speaker 8: more of that. We're going to see a lot more
- 46:45Speaker 8: of this drive towards democratic innovation. Don't say we didn't
- 46:51Speaker 8: war new This came out on the twenty first of December.
- 46:54Speaker 8: This is Debbie Abrahams, who is a Labor MP for
- 46:58Speaker 8: Oldham East. Interesting and even we've been talking about Oldham
- 47:02Speaker 8: already today so that she absolutely agrees with Rory Stewart's
- 47:06Speaker 8: former Tory minister on the need for citizens assemblies to
- 47:10Speaker 8: engage with communities about significant or radical policy changes.
- 47:14Speaker 11: Right.
- 47:14Speaker 8: And this was on the Today Program on the BBC,
- 47:17Speaker 8: the flagship political show on the BBC. They are training it,
- 47:21Speaker 8: it's coming. We'll be talking about it a lot this year.
- 47:25Speaker 8: With all this new technology. What's they're going to mean
- 47:27Speaker 8: for humanity? Well, Ted have got an event coming up
- 47:30Speaker 8: in April again we'll be talking about this where humanity
- 47:33Speaker 8: is going to be reimagined and they're going to be
- 47:35Speaker 8: asking what are humans for in this age of technological innovation?
- 47:41Speaker 8: What are humans for? It's a nine thousand dollars a
- 47:44Speaker 8: ticket for that event either way, and it gives you
- 47:47Speaker 8: a sense of the type of people who are coming
- 47:50Speaker 8: together to ask these questions and to think about the
- 47:52Speaker 8: future of humanity. And finally, I'm just going to leave
- 47:55Speaker 8: you with a few words from Alex Karp, one of
- 47:58Speaker 8: the High Priests of Artificial Intelligence, the co founder of Palenteer,
- 48:02Speaker 8: offering his Christmas message to the world.
- 48:07Speaker 11: Is it too early to ask if you guys have
- 48:09Speaker 11: considered AI driven peacekeeping or conflict resolutions.
- 48:13Speaker 12: Often the primary way to create peace in this world
- 48:16Speaker 12: is to scare our adversaries when they wake up, when
- 48:19Speaker 12: they go to bed, while they're seeing their mistress, whatever
- 48:22Speaker 12: they're doing, they're scared. If you want to have peace
- 48:25Speaker 12: in the world, that's how you do it. And that
- 48:28Speaker 12: is our peace giving offering this Christmas season to our adversaries.
- 48:31Speaker 5: We're going to help this.
- 48:32Speaker 12: Government be more transparent, work with partnership in America, and
- 48:36Speaker 12: our goal is everyone who does not like America, does
- 48:39Speaker 12: not like what we stand for, does not like to
- 48:41Speaker 12: say the West thinks we're useful idiots, is going to
- 48:45Speaker 12: be scared and uncomfortable more tomorrow than today.
- 48:52Speaker 1: And Ben that includes of course the population.
- 48:56Speaker 8: Absolutely, yeah, and that man is running the NHS.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Okay, where does that take us Janne, I think let's
- 49:05Speaker 1: bring you back on and diverse, sorry, diversifying. We're having
- 49:12Speaker 1: trouble today because of course the world is so mad
- 49:15Speaker 1: around us, and this is a pretty tough start for
- 49:18Speaker 1: January twenty twenty five. But Diane, what have you got?
- 49:22Speaker 3: It is? But I just wanted to say, first of all,
- 49:24Speaker 3: for those of you who didn't see our Christmas special,
- 49:27Speaker 3: our last broadcast of twenty twenty four, I so now
- 49:30Speaker 3: to message to everyone saying that in twenty twenty five
- 49:32Speaker 3: that what we all need to be doing is acting global,
- 49:35Speaker 3: to fight global in whatever way that we can. So
- 49:37Speaker 3: I'm going to include in the segments some bad news,
- 49:40Speaker 3: but some ideas for things that you can do and
- 49:42Speaker 3: things that people are doing to start to fight against us,
- 49:45Speaker 3: because we all need to be fighting in twenty twenty five,
- 49:49Speaker 3: following all the states sponsored to child sexual abuse, it
- 49:51Speaker 3: has happened that we're hearing about both in the past
- 49:54Speaker 3: and the present, and haveing heard the news today. Just
- 49:57Speaker 3: this morning, our illustrious Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson tweeted that
- 50:02Speaker 3: the Children's well Being in School's Bill will start to
- 50:04Speaker 3: be pushed through Parliament this week. There will be among
- 50:08Speaker 3: other things that's in this build, and you can read
- 50:09Speaker 3: the whole post about this in the show notes, there's
- 50:12Speaker 3: a link there. There will be a compulsory children Not
- 50:15Speaker 3: in School register for children homeschooled. So if you have
- 50:19Speaker 3: chosen to remove your children from being indoctrinated into the schools,
- 50:22Speaker 3: they will be tracking you and they will be watching
- 50:24Speaker 3: you with what your children are doing. It will so
- 50:27Speaker 3: called keep children safe by assigning a single unique identifier
- 50:32Speaker 3: to children across all of the systems. So this is
- 50:36Speaker 3: similar to how the NHS number works for adult social care.
- 50:40Speaker 3: To test how this can improve information sharing to better
- 50:44Speaker 3: protect children's safety, I would argue that is not protecting
- 50:47Speaker 3: the safety of children or anyone. What I want to
- 50:50Speaker 3: get into in more detail is that it will require
- 50:52Speaker 3: all state funded schools, including academies which could previously opt
- 50:56Speaker 3: out of the National Curriculum, to teach the new National Curriculum,
- 51:00Speaker 3: which we'll be coming later in twenty twenty five. Bridget
- 51:03Speaker 3: Phillipson's plan to make this curriculum more diverse has just
- 51:06Speaker 3: been reported on previously on the UK column News, which
- 51:09Speaker 3: I did last month. You can go back and read
- 51:12Speaker 3: the start of that report watch the start of that report,
- 51:14Speaker 3: but to go into a little bit more details, starting
- 51:16Speaker 3: from the universities and going all the way down, this
- 51:19Speaker 3: diversification of their curriculum is happening. So to give you
- 51:23Speaker 3: one example of some things that have been reported in
- 51:25Speaker 3: mainstream media just over the break, so they're finally catching
- 51:28Speaker 3: up to us in mainstream media once again. I was
- 51:32Speaker 3: reported by the Telegraph that the University of Nottingham and
- 51:34Speaker 3: Nodding in Trent have just led a review and found
- 51:36Speaker 3: that their universities have become racist due to focusing on
- 51:39Speaker 3: the undertakings of white people, and have pledged to make
- 51:43Speaker 3: slavery reparations as a result. The six people on this
- 51:46Speaker 3: group identify as black, and the University of Nottington has
- 51:50Speaker 3: removed the term Anglo Saxon from its module titles, although
- 51:54Speaker 3: it has a very well known course in Viking in
- 51:56Speaker 3: Anglo Saxon Studies. So we're continuing to diminish ourselves. The
- 52:00Speaker 3: Teachers' Union throughout the UK, which has almost three hundred
- 52:03Speaker 3: thousand members, told this curriculum review that is ongoing nationally
- 52:07Speaker 3: throughout England that it must embed anti racist and decolonized
- 52:11Speaker 3: approaches in the curriculum and advised that inclusive curricula should
- 52:15Speaker 3: reflect diverse authors, cultures and perspectives. And this goes back
- 52:20Speaker 3: a few years with the unions, this is not a
- 52:21Speaker 3: brand new thing. In twenty twenty one by pastor resolution
- 52:25Speaker 3: calling on the union's National Executive to take action to decolonize,
- 52:28Speaker 3: which of course means destroy, dismantle, take apart the curriculum.
- 52:33Speaker 3: And this is essentially mostly around anti racism and around
- 52:36Speaker 3: gender ideology. In twenty twenty twenty, the Head Teachers or
- 52:39Speaker 3: across England backed calls for the GCSEE syllabus to be
- 52:44Speaker 3: made more diverse by adding more books by authors, including
- 52:48Speaker 3: titles such as Yi I'm no Longer talking to White
- 52:50Speaker 3: People about Race by the Nigerian author renni at O
- 52:54Speaker 3: Lodge and The Good Immigrant by Nikesh Shukla, which should
- 52:57Speaker 3: be studied, according to them, as set tech for the
- 53:00Speaker 3: gc SE exams, and also should be removing titles by Shakespeare,
- 53:05Speaker 3: Charles Dickens, George Elliott and Charlotte Bronte. For example. In
- 53:09Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, the National Education Union said the schools must
- 53:12Speaker 3: look beyond dead white men. And that's a direct quote.
- 53:14Speaker 3: That's very common direct quote in education now these nowadays
- 53:18Speaker 3: to make the curriculum more diverse, I will say before
- 53:21Speaker 3: I move on to some other countries, and if you
- 53:23Speaker 3: are in England, there is a group I am starting
- 53:25Speaker 3: to work with called Protect and Teach. I highly recommend
- 53:28Speaker 3: everyone who cares about their children, their grandchildren, any children
- 53:31Speaker 3: that they know they're going to be going through the
- 53:33Speaker 3: English education system or are going through it currently, to
- 53:36Speaker 3: take a look at their website. I am beginning to
- 53:39Speaker 3: work with them on issues such as how to remove
- 53:42Speaker 3: age and appropriate library books and creating another curriculum option
- 53:46Speaker 3: other than this new national curriculum that is going to
- 53:49Speaker 3: be updated and diversified and required by the entire country.
- 53:53Speaker 3: So you can look at their website, which is going
- 53:55Speaker 3: to be the show notes, and get in touch with
- 53:57Speaker 3: them or Immed directly if you would like to help us,
- 53:59Speaker 3: because we will be working together this year to fight
- 54:02Speaker 3: some of this. Now, when I talk about diversifying a curriculum,
- 54:05Speaker 3: it sounds really scary, it sounds very what does this mean?
- 54:08Speaker 3: So if you're not sure about this, I'm going to
- 54:10Speaker 3: show you some examples from Scotland, from Ireland of what's
- 54:13Speaker 3: actually going on. So in Scotland, we've had for over
- 54:15Speaker 3: twenty years what's called the so called Curriculum for Excellence,
- 54:18Speaker 3: which you can see in My Beauty of Kate Deeming
- 54:21Speaker 3: and so on. The other coverage I've done previously is
- 54:24Speaker 3: really anything but excellent, and I want to show this
- 54:27Speaker 3: is our first animation of twenty twenty five. Sorry guys,
- 54:30Speaker 3: I know people out there don't always like the animations
- 54:33Speaker 3: that we show, but this is an animation to show
- 54:35Speaker 3: what the Scottish time for inclusive education looks like. So
- 54:40Speaker 3: let's see this explanation.
- 54:44Speaker 6: Homophobia is still one of the most common forms of
- 54:47Speaker 6: prejudice that young people witness and experience at school. The
- 54:52Speaker 6: most effective way to address this is through education. LGBT
- 54:59Speaker 6: inclusive education is a term referring to an approach of
- 55:02Speaker 6: including themes related to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people
- 55:08Speaker 6: in ordinary teaching and learning. It supports teachers to be
- 55:12Speaker 6: proactive in addressing the stereotypes and stigma which can often
- 55:16Speaker 6: lead to prejudice or bullying. This approach is now a
- 55:19Speaker 6: national expectation for schools in Scotland. All schools have a
- 55:24Speaker 6: responsibility to ensure that young people see themselves, their families
- 55:29Speaker 6: and the world around them reflected on what they learn
- 55:32Speaker 6: at THAI. We provide free resources that allow teachers to
- 55:36Speaker 6: deliver this in a meaningful and effective way. Our support
- 55:42Speaker 6: includes delivering the National Professional Learning Course for Teachers on
- 55:46Speaker 6: behalf of the Scottish Government, as well as detailed curriculum materials,
- 55:50Speaker 6: learner workshops and year group assemblies. This learning can be
- 55:55Speaker 6: life changing for LGBT young people. It also develops a
- 56:01Speaker 6: greater understanding of the impact of stereotypes, prejudice and bullying
- 56:06Speaker 6: for all school pupils.
- 56:08Speaker 8: I now know that it's okay to be who I am,
- 56:10Speaker 8: and there are lots of other people like me.
- 56:13Speaker 3: I've lenda.
- 56:13Speaker 7: Over the years, lots have been made to protect LGBT
- 56:16Speaker 7: people from discrimination.
- 56:18Speaker 4: But it still happens and we all have to play
- 56:20Speaker 4: a part in stopping it.
- 56:37Speaker 3: So I would into digging into some examples of what
- 56:40Speaker 3: this means. What are these materials that they're providing to
- 56:43Speaker 3: children in Scotland. I've got some examples here just so
- 56:46Speaker 3: that you can see. This is available on their website.
- 56:48Speaker 3: These are word problems for children in ages five to nine,
- 56:52Speaker 3: so these will still be in primary school. You can
- 56:55Speaker 3: see these so called intersectionality the relationship between race and
- 56:59Speaker 3: gender and sexuality coming out into what should be very
- 57:03Speaker 3: straightforward things. Amal needs to get her dad's father's Day cards.
- 57:07Speaker 3: The cards she chooses are one pound each. Amal gives
- 57:09Speaker 3: the shop keyp for ten pounds. How much change does
- 57:12Speaker 3: she get? Ot wants to get her brother Obosi some
- 57:16Speaker 3: paddic clubs for when he uses his wheelchair. She buys
- 57:19Speaker 3: a pair of ten pounds and pays the twenty pound
- 57:21Speaker 3: note how much change does she get? So we can
- 57:23Speaker 3: see again the intersectionality that's in math class. We have
- 57:28Speaker 3: in Scotch language poetry which I will not even attempt
- 57:31Speaker 3: to read in Scott's but basically the title is Dottie's
- 57:34Speaker 3: Got twelve fathers and talks about what's the big deal?
- 57:37Speaker 3: So there's one father likes us, one father likes that.
- 57:40Speaker 3: It's written in Scott's language. We have the rainbow for
- 57:44Speaker 3: added illustration, and we have a graphic here from Tom Daily,
- 57:48Speaker 3: who was rightfully so an Olympic champion of believing diving.
- 57:53Speaker 3: This is part of one of the powerpoints. I am
- 57:55Speaker 3: proud to be gay and Olympic champions. So of course
- 57:58Speaker 3: they have a type of there haven't been to English
- 58:00Speaker 3: class it should say an Olympic champion and of course
- 58:03Speaker 3: he's wearing a mask which is fabulous to see as well.
- 58:06Speaker 3: If you look at the Scottish Union for Education's pamphlet
- 58:09Speaker 3: which we've put out the end of last year full
- 58:11Speaker 3: of views on Scottish education, it includes an article by
- 58:13Speaker 3: me called the capturing of Libraries and many other issues
- 58:16Speaker 3: that we're looking at how to address this in Scotland.
- 58:19Speaker 3: So if you are in England or anywhere else, please
- 58:21Speaker 3: take a look at a pamphlet and thank you to
- 58:24Speaker 3: the viewer who sent me some information about what's going
- 58:26Speaker 3: on in Ireland as well. This is from the Natural
- 58:29Speaker 3: Women's Council. This woman who is Donald London, who was
- 58:33Speaker 3: interviewed by Rick Munn who formerly was on T and
- 58:36Speaker 3: T radio and had me out as a guest and
- 58:39Speaker 3: had several song as a guest previously. They are doing
- 58:41Speaker 3: similar work to what you are doing in Scottish Union
- 58:44Speaker 3: for Education and Protect and Teach. So here's a short
- 58:47Speaker 3: video clip this to show you that this group really
- 58:50Speaker 3: is on top of things.
- 58:53Speaker 13: Done a deep dive into this and as you know,
- 58:55Speaker 13: the belong to is just a Transrite activist NGO they're
- 58:59Speaker 13: pretending to be this grassroots group stopping all the bullying
- 59:02Speaker 13: of all the trans kids. But it's all coming from
- 59:05Speaker 13: the United Nations, And anyone can look up and I'll
- 59:08Speaker 13: send you the links to their plan. They actually have
- 59:10Speaker 13: a plan to implement the agenda twenty thirty United Nations
- 59:14Speaker 13: Sustainable Development Goals, that little wheel that all of our
- 59:18Speaker 13: politicians here are wearing on their lapel, the wheel that
- 59:21Speaker 13: used to be a conspiracy. There's documents that we have
- 59:24Speaker 13: found that show the strategy in bringing these Sustainable Development Goals,
- 59:28Speaker 13: which includes all of the gender stuff in there, into schools.
- 59:33Speaker 13: They're offering schools five hundred dollars for one vouchers to
- 59:38Speaker 13: come up with ideas to bring in the SDGs. So
- 59:41Speaker 13: it has been captured. I believe there's a lot of
- 59:43Speaker 13: money behind it.
- 59:48Speaker 3: And if you look at Sustainable Development Goal five, which
- 59:51Speaker 3: is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and
- 59:54Speaker 3: girls at Stoneball has an LGBT Inclusion document at to
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: the STGs which says GO five calls for an end
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: to all discrimination and violence against women and girls, which
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: includes lesbo phobia, biphobia, and transphobia. And so that's the
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: stonemall sort of interpretation which I'm sure is correct. I
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: also have to point out, and this is part of
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: the Irish case Enoch Burke, so you may be familiar
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: with his case. He spent over five hundred days in
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: prison because he refused to address a student. He's a
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: teacher at a Christian school. By the way, he refused
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: to address a student with theyve them pronouns. So he
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: was sent to prison for things related to this in
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: his suspension from the school. At the same school as well,
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: there is a group called Belonged To in Ireland which
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: is a transactivist group similar to lgbt Youth Scotland, and
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: they are visiting his school today to.
- 1:00:46Speaker 11: Get the LGBTQ plus mark accreditation for inclusivity approved today
- 1:00:53Speaker 11: on the site visit and as we're having the news
- 1:00:56Speaker 11: today at one o'clock on Monday, they were having a
- 1:00:58Speaker 11: demonstration at the school to protest what happened to and
- 1:01:01Speaker 11: is still happening to Enikburgh and this site of accreditation
- 1:01:05Speaker 11: by the transactivist group.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: And so these are just examples of the things we
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: could be doing. And finally I just want to point
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: out over the break I've been reading a book called
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: The Naked Communist by Cleon Skalsen, which has written in
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: the fifties and sixties that you can look it up yourself.
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: But I just want to say that including putting communism
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: into the countries in the past, things that he had
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: identified from years experience in the CIA and so on,
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: was about basically progoiding pornography, promoting to generously homosexuality infiltrating churches.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: And finally one of the points that he made was
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: as a one world government with its own independent armed forces.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: So I'm afraid that's where we are, gentlemen.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Don't be afraid. Jan that's a very bad point to be.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: We are not afraid. We're standing up and we're going
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: to tell the truth as we see it. I'm going
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: to say to our audience the end of last year,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: when we did our final UK column New slot, in
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: my segment, I showed a roller coaster that was my
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: prediction really of what we're going to see in this year.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: And we've hit that roller coaster with a steep drop.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: In January of twenty twenty five, so there's a lot
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: more of this coming. Key to it is to understand
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: that national government does not exist anymore. This is an
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: international government that we have in power, and it is
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: running to the rules based international order. That means that
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: the old must be destroyed before we can quote build
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: back better. This is the key to understanding policies as
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: they unfold, and knowledge, of course helps calm everything down
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: because we can at least see the enemy. So I
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: think we should leave it there. I'm going to say
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: thank you very much to all the viewers and listeners
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: joining us today wherever you are in the world, and
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: once again a huge thank you for your support, because
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: I am pleased to say your support is going to
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: allow us to expand what we do in twenty twenty five.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Let's leave it there, Ben, thank you for joining me, Diane,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: thank you, and for the audience. We'll be back for
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: UK Column Extra in a few minutes.
