Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the fifth of May, just
0:13
Speaker 1: after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News. I'm your
0:15
Speaker 1: host Brian Derish, delighted to have with me in the studio.
0:19
Speaker 1: Diane Rasmussen mcaddie Hello, Diane.
0:22
Speaker 2: Hi.
0:22
Speaker 1: Brian and Ben Rubin will be joining us from studio too,
0:27
Speaker 1: So a little bit of a change around today. But
0:30
Speaker 1: welcome to UK column News. And of course today is
0:34
Speaker 1: the bank holiday, so thank you very much for joining
0:37
Speaker 1: us today. Well, we've got a lot to report, but
0:40
Speaker 1: we're going to start off with recognizing the good work
0:44
Speaker 1: of the Reform Party. So let's just have a look
0:48
Speaker 1: at Reform's website and of course this is the key thing.
0:53
Speaker 1: Become a member joined the UK's faltest growing political movement.
0:58
Speaker 1: And we just ask a question and because is Farage
1:02
Speaker 1: pictured here with arms raised, is he going to be
1:06
Speaker 1: the savior? Well, first of all, I want to say
1:09
Speaker 1: thank you very much to all the people that got out,
1:12
Speaker 1: who worked and of course to take some six hundred
1:16
Speaker 1: and seventy seven seats that that was a very good
1:22
Speaker 1: effort by the Reform Party. So credit where it's due.
1:26
Speaker 1: We have some questions to ask and some of those
1:28
Speaker 1: questions may possibly ruffle some feathers, but we think this
1:33
Speaker 1: absolutely has to be done if the real issues taking
1:37
Speaker 1: place in UK are going to be dealt with. So
1:41
Speaker 1: let's just have a look at what's been reported in
1:45
Speaker 1: the press. So the Telegraph here Tory Council swept away
1:49
Speaker 1: by reform surge, So a pretty powerful headline there. I'm
1:55
Speaker 1: going to say to the audience, does this represent opportunities?
1:59
Speaker 1: Does it represent threats? And I think there's a little
2:03
Speaker 1: bit of both, which we'll get into. But here was
2:06
Speaker 1: a bit from the Times, John Curtis reforms by election
2:10
Speaker 1: win outstrips anything UKIP achieved. And I want to put
2:16
Speaker 1: a little caveat on that because John Curtis talks about
2:19
Speaker 1: Farrage being a political disruptor, and of course he's talking
2:24
Speaker 1: in terms of Farrage's activity amongst the bigger established parties,
2:31
Speaker 1: the Conservatives and Labor, but we also need to remember
2:34
Speaker 1: that Farrage has disrupted his own party in the past,
2:38
Speaker 1: and he also abandoned it what many people at the
2:42
Speaker 1: time thought was a critical point. So I'm going to
2:47
Speaker 1: remind the audience that I had an interview with Joe
2:50
Speaker 1: West a little while ago. He'd resigned from Reform UK
2:55
Speaker 1: and in the dialogue we had a very interesting chat
2:59
Speaker 1: about my experiences in UKIP going back quite a few
3:04
Speaker 1: years and his experiences coming up to twenty twenty five
3:09
Speaker 1: in Reform UK. You can find that interview on the
3:14
Speaker 1: UK column website, Nigel Frage and the destructive toryization of
3:19
Speaker 1: Reform UK. But the key part of the discussion was this,
3:24
Speaker 1: we saw similarities between what happened with Frage in UKIP
3:30
Speaker 1: and what was happening in Reform in twenty twenty five.
3:35
Speaker 1: So we've got rousing speeches, we've got authoritarian control where
3:40
Speaker 1: Farrage is protected by a circle of appointees. We've got
3:44
Speaker 1: suppression of successful initiatives by party activists, and the end
3:49
Speaker 1: result is a party led into a col desac and
3:53
Speaker 1: ultimately a failure to achieve the political success its members
3:58
Speaker 1: are desperate to achieve. Now, I'm going to stress very
4:02
Speaker 1: strongly here that I recognize the immense good work of
4:06
Speaker 1: the Reform soldiers who got out, did the work, did
4:10
Speaker 1: the canvassing to get elected. They deserve the recognition for
4:15
Speaker 1: the really outstanding results they've achieved. I'm gently putting out
4:19
Speaker 1: a little bit of a warning that we saw exactly
4:22
Speaker 1: that situation with UKIP many years ago, and then what
4:26
Speaker 1: happened was that the leadership of the party failed to
4:31
Speaker 1: follow up on the success of the people who'd walked
4:35
Speaker 1: the streets and convince voters to vote for them. So
4:40
Speaker 1: just think about that, and I'll be coming back onto
4:42
Speaker 1: this subject in just a moment. But the other thing
4:45
Speaker 1: that we've got happening in uk at the moment is
4:48
Speaker 1: a mixture of history and propaganda. And I picked up
4:52
Speaker 1: here from the Ministry at Defense Twitter their ex site.
4:57
Speaker 1: It says the cenotaph stands draped in flags as it
5:00
Speaker 1: did on V Day nineteen forty five. Today we paid
5:04
Speaker 1: tribute to the greatest generation whose courage secured the freedom
5:08
Speaker 1: and prosperity our armed forces protect today. Well, if we
5:13
Speaker 1: add a bit, there was another tweet and it can't
5:17
Speaker 1: calmly announce that armed forces of Ukraine would be joining
5:21
Speaker 1: this V Day parade. Now, a number of the UK
5:25
Speaker 1: column audience contacted me because they were the individuals were
5:29
Speaker 1: actually very very upset about this, because, of course, if
5:34
Speaker 1: we know our history, the overwhelming effort of Ukraine was
5:38
Speaker 1: to support the Nazis, and yet here they are to
5:42
Speaker 1: join our parade as if none of these things had
5:47
Speaker 1: taken place. But if the Ukrainians are one issue, then
5:52
Speaker 1: what happened was the Ministry of Defense went on to
5:56
Speaker 1: promote this lady and no disrespect to her. Frank's a
6:00
Speaker 1: Jewish refugee, she escaped from the Nazis, came to UK,
6:06
Speaker 1: worked as an army lorry driver. But she is given recognition.
6:11
Speaker 1: Ukrainians are given recognition. It's almost as if the indigenous
6:15
Speaker 1: people of UK wiped off the Ministry of Defense map.
6:20
Speaker 1: Now why should this be happening. This is where we
6:23
Speaker 1: need to get deeper into politics than I've seen Nigel
6:27
Speaker 1: Frage go in many years. And let's focus on the
6:32
Speaker 1: change agent that is Keir Starmer. And my suggestion to
6:36
Speaker 1: the audience today is that he is at his work
6:40
Speaker 1: destroying UK from inside. He claims to be securing Britain's future.
6:45
Speaker 1: But let's have a look at what's been happening. Well,
6:48
Speaker 1: of course, the first thing is this extraordinary one hundred
6:51
Speaker 1: year packed with Ukraine, not voted on in Parliament, simply
6:56
Speaker 1: announced certainly to the public as a fate, a complete
7:01
Speaker 1: We have no idea what the background is of the
7:04
Speaker 1: Ukrainian politicians who've been drawn into this. Are they extreme
7:09
Speaker 1: right wing? We have no way of knowing. And alongside this,
7:13
Speaker 1: of course we've got admittedly started by the Conservatives, but
7:17
Speaker 1: we've got a memorandum of understanding drawing the UK and
7:22
Speaker 1: Israel closer together. And this is not only for trade
7:25
Speaker 1: and industry, of course, it's for intelligence services and the military. Again,
7:31
Speaker 1: the UK public simply not consulted in what was taking place.
7:36
Speaker 1: And now we see the final betrayal from Keir Starmer,
7:40
Speaker 1: in particular because as UK column has warned over many years,
7:45
Speaker 1: Brexit would be done without the exit. We would never
7:49
Speaker 1: fully leave the European Union, and we say today we
7:54
Speaker 1: told you so. As now we get the mainstream media
7:57
Speaker 1: reports that Starmer is betraying UK by his back door
8:03
Speaker 1: deals with the EU, and that also includes this military
8:09
Speaker 1: grouping up. But of course we shouldn't be surprised because
8:12
Speaker 1: Keir Starmer cormly announced to the BBC that between Westminster
8:17
Speaker 1: and Davos, he would choose Davos every time. And let's
8:22
Speaker 1: bring in over here the fact that Starmer has said
8:26
Speaker 1: that he's Prime Minister to achieve change in the UK
8:30
Speaker 1: and our challenge to Nigel Frage is when will you
8:34
Speaker 1: start talking about the real danger of Keir Starmer's subversive
8:39
Speaker 1: change to UK. So let's just bring this down. Will
8:45
Speaker 1: Reform actually grip these real issues? We will wait to see,
8:50
Speaker 1: But of course the Labor Party itself has stressed that
8:54
Speaker 1: it's there to change the UK. It doesn't want to
8:57
Speaker 1: tell us how, but it's constantly saying change and more change,
9:02
Speaker 1: and constant change is revolution. We're going to ask again,
9:07
Speaker 1: will Reform grip these issues and talk about them in
9:11
Speaker 1: the frank way that UK column is doing so. And
9:14
Speaker 1: also we want to know whether Reform is going to
9:17
Speaker 1: grip the issue of people who are connected with the Fabians,
9:21
Speaker 1: and of course Tony Blair as a Fabian master that's
9:25
Speaker 1: my term, and Keir Starmer as the mere student are
9:31
Speaker 1: areas that. Of course, we have many questions as to
9:35
Speaker 1: what is the power of this Fabian organization and what
9:38
Speaker 1: are the changes that it wants for UK. Well, we
9:42
Speaker 1: can see as we look at the headlines today that
9:46
Speaker 1: immigration and migration absolutely to the foe. But as UK
9:51
Speaker 1: column is warned and warned, this immigration is not the
9:56
Speaker 1: tiny numbers coming in in rubber boats. It is the thousand,
10:01
Speaker 1: some six hundred thousand Ukrainians last year alone, who are
10:05
Speaker 1: invited into the country by the government. They don't fight
10:09
Speaker 1: their way ashore. So these are people being invited into
10:13
Speaker 1: the country by our political masters, and the propaganda around
10:20
Speaker 1: relatively tiny numbers coming in in the boats is simply
10:24
Speaker 1: the side show. So our challenge to Nigel Franches again,
10:29
Speaker 1: will Reform really grip these issues of migration and what
10:34
Speaker 1: the true figures are and which political individuals are driving it. Now,
10:40
Speaker 1: if we have a look at the headlines of the paper,
10:43
Speaker 1: I've just decided to choose a couple here, We're going
10:47
Speaker 1: to say what will reform do in the media propaganda pond.
10:51
Speaker 1: So if you have a look at the Times, it's
10:53
Speaker 1: almost difficult to see their report on reform. But of
10:57
Speaker 1: course Times is attacking the reform party, fight off reform
11:02
Speaker 1: with higher taxes and spending. The Prime Minister is told
11:06
Speaker 1: we've then got a big headline EU blocks efforts to
11:11
Speaker 1: curb the flow of migrants. Now, remember they're talking about
11:15
Speaker 1: rubber boats, they're not talking about the true statistics on
11:19
Speaker 1: massive migration of people invited into the country. And if
11:23
Speaker 1: I just bring the telegraph up here of course we've
11:27
Speaker 1: got a mixture of fear, imminence, suspected Iran terror, raid foiled.
11:33
Speaker 1: Of course we have absolutely no evidence to support that headline.
11:38
Speaker 1: But this is put in juxtaposition with the Beckhams. What
11:43
Speaker 1: relevance they have to UK? I have absolutely no idea.
11:47
Speaker 1: And then if you look at the very bottom of
11:49
Speaker 1: that article on the right, it says that Facebook is
11:53
Speaker 1: putting children's lives in danger, says security chiefs. And again
11:58
Speaker 1: we're going to ask the key question, will reform grip
12:02
Speaker 1: these issues and talk about them properly. On that note, Ben,
12:08
Speaker 1: I think we'll bring you in. And of course you've
12:11
Speaker 1: been warning for some considerable time about the powers of
12:15
Speaker 1: these non government organizations that are clearly grooming and training
12:19
Speaker 1: our politicians to what we can only describe as the
12:24
Speaker 1: rules based international system. What have you got for us today?
12:31
Speaker 3: Thanks Brian, Thanks Diane, Hello everybody, Like Plymouth Argyle losing
12:38
Speaker 3: to Leeds, I have been relegated today to Studio two
12:43
Speaker 3: by an ascendant Northern Champion in the shape of Diane
12:46
Speaker 3: Rasmus and Macaddies. So congratulations for taking the top spot
12:51
Speaker 3: in the studio today. I should also just say that's
12:54
Speaker 3: the last time I will ever do a football reference,
12:56
Speaker 3: by the way, So just putting it out there, and
13:00
Speaker 3: I'd also just like to say that was a fascinating
13:03
Speaker 3: opening segment, Brian, and I think what's particularly interesting is
13:06
Speaker 3: that we now no longer have a conservative party in
13:09
Speaker 3: this country, and reform is really just another way of
13:12
Speaker 3: saying change, isn't it? Anyway? Moving on, let's kick off
13:17
Speaker 3: with my favorite quote from all Well. Power is in
13:19
Speaker 3: tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again
13:23
Speaker 3: in shapes of your own choosing. We're going to talk
13:26
Speaker 3: about nudging and actually what happens beyond nudging. I'm going
13:30
Speaker 3: to introduce you to this organization, which is the Behavioral
13:35
Speaker 3: Public Policy a journal. This is an online journal, an
13:41
Speaker 3: academic journal hosted by Cambridge University and it is edited by,
13:48
Speaker 3: amongst others, this gentleman, that is Professor cass R. Sunstein
13:52
Speaker 3: from Harvard, who essentially invented nudging, the behavior and insights
13:58
Speaker 3: techniques that are used on an increasing basis to coerce
14:03
Speaker 3: unsuspecting civilian populations into doing things that they wouldn't normally do.
14:07
Speaker 3: That's how the stuff is being deployed across the whole system.
14:12
Speaker 3: And actually, as I said in the intro, we're going
14:15
Speaker 3: beyond nudging now, right. So the BPP issued this report
14:20
Speaker 3: on the fifteenth of April, and a bunch of people
14:24
Speaker 3: who you really don't want to have these kinds of
14:26
Speaker 3: tools in their position are getting extremely excited now about
14:31
Speaker 3: the idea that we're moving from nudging to boosting, so
14:35
Speaker 3: empowering behavior change to address global challenges. This is the
14:40
Speaker 3: shiny new toy that these people have got their hands on.
14:42
Speaker 3: They're dig into. What that actually means is have a
14:45
Speaker 3: little look at the report. This is from the abstract
14:48
Speaker 3: in the intro. You should go read this. It's only
14:50
Speaker 3: about ten pages. It's worthwhile understanding what's going on here.
14:54
Speaker 3: I'll just summarize some stuff, but essentially, the COVID nineteen
14:57
Speaker 3: pandemic provided a start for mine that societies will struggle
15:01
Speaker 3: to address global challenges unless they are able to change
15:06
Speaker 3: behavior at scale. Societies need to change behavior at scale.
15:11
Speaker 3: The widely adopted at nudge approach epitomizes an individualistic deficit
15:17
Speaker 3: model of human cognition and motivation that leverages or overcomes
15:21
Speaker 3: people's weaknesses and biases to get them to do things
15:25
Speaker 3: they would otherwise not, and this is about nudging people
15:30
Speaker 3: into new types of behaviors. And what the team behind
15:34
Speaker 3: this is saying is that, by contrast, we argue that
15:37
Speaker 3: tackling the challenges facing humanity requires a collective capacity building approach,
15:43
Speaker 3: one that boosts the competencies, opportunities and motivations of individuals
15:47
Speaker 3: to act together. All right, we're going beyond nudging and
15:51
Speaker 3: we're going to reshape humanity ultimately towards collective action in
15:56
Speaker 3: order to address what they describe as global challenges. Right,
16:00
Speaker 3: and very importantly, they're really reinforcing at the outset that
16:04
Speaker 3: the COVID nineteen pandemic was one of those global challenges
16:09
Speaker 3: and a good example of how nudge was used in
16:11
Speaker 3: a responsible way. And that's not really surprising when you
16:14
Speaker 3: look at who wrote the report because two of the people,
16:18
Speaker 3: two of the four authors are here. This is Robert
16:20
Speaker 3: West from UCL Susan Minshey now from UCL, both from
16:24
Speaker 3: the Behavior Change the Center for Behavior Change at UCL.
16:28
Speaker 3: Names that will be familiar to UK column viewers because
16:31
Speaker 3: both of these individuals, Susan Minshey in particular, was intimately
16:35
Speaker 3: involved in advising the UK government through the COVID scenario
16:39
Speaker 3: as members of sage and Spybee and ramping up the
16:43
Speaker 3: terror in the population in order to coerce people into
16:47
Speaker 3: doing things that they wouldn't normally do. Right, And actually
16:51
Speaker 3: some might call that terrorism. And if we allow the
16:54
Speaker 3: official narrative to lapse and it turns out that that
16:58
Speaker 3: was actually a terror campaigned and those individuals in particular
17:01
Speaker 3: might be in quite a bit troubled. So obviously we
17:03
Speaker 3: have to maintain the COVID narrative. Let's go back to
17:06
Speaker 3: the report. The deficit model that's nudging, exemplified by nudging
17:12
Speaker 3: urgently needs to be replaced by an approach that can
17:15
Speaker 3: achieve the global behavior changes needed to cope with the
17:19
Speaker 3: multiple crises that humanity is currently facing. The things we
17:24
Speaker 3: all do drive pandemics, for example, travel or meet rich diets,
17:30
Speaker 3: and therefore the next potentially more lethal pandemic could be
17:35
Speaker 3: emerging as we write this. I think there might be
17:38
Speaker 3: some nudging laid into that. That's a very immediate and
17:41
Speaker 3: slightly terrifying term for them to be using, that a
17:44
Speaker 3: pandemic could be emerging as we write this. The climate
17:47
Speaker 3: emergency is already claiming countless lives. Apparently, I don't think
17:51
Speaker 3: that's the monster be true in any sense whatsoever, and
17:54
Speaker 3: it's certainly damaging economy. It's not for the reasons that
17:57
Speaker 3: these people are putting forth. They flu by saying what
18:00
Speaker 3: is needed our wholesale, sustained and evidence based efforts to
18:04
Speaker 3: capitalize on and develop collective human agency. Yeah, this is
18:11
Speaker 3: about reframing and re engineering humanity, populations of countries, getting
18:18
Speaker 3: stuck into the education system, going after young children, right,
18:21
Speaker 3: you know, remodeling the family. Actually, if we look at
18:24
Speaker 3: some of the global challenges that they describe and the
18:28
Speaker 3: interventions that they want to make, there's two initial interesting
18:31
Speaker 3: ones here. So how do we help people to reclaim
18:35
Speaker 3: their self control in online environments? And that apparently requires
18:39
Speaker 3: the introduction of something called a citizen choice architect. So
18:44
Speaker 3: these are the types of roles, the types of work
18:46
Speaker 3: that's happening inside government, inside big corporations in order to
18:50
Speaker 3: influence behavior, to get you to comply more effectively a
18:54
Speaker 3: citizen choice architect. And then the next global challenge, how
18:58
Speaker 3: to combat overweight and obesity, is probably a typo, especially
19:03
Speaker 3: in children and adolescents, and that's about increasing parental competence
19:08
Speaker 3: to design the family meal environment. Yeah, so that's just
19:13
Speaker 3: cooking good food for your kids. Apparently Cambridge University and
19:17
Speaker 3: the government need to be down in the weeds advising
19:20
Speaker 3: you on that kind of thing. And then I'll save
19:22
Speaker 3: the best for last. And this one actually really took
19:25
Speaker 3: my breath away, although I suppose it's not that unsurprising
19:28
Speaker 3: when you understand where it's come from. I'll read this
19:30
Speaker 3: whole thing out. The global challenge how to empower citizens
19:34
Speaker 3: to cope with the infodemic, the tsunami of misinformation online
19:39
Speaker 3: and social media and on instant messaging services. So the
19:44
Speaker 3: competence here is to reliably assess the trustworthiness of online
19:49
Speaker 3: information sources. And the boost intervention that they're suggesting get
19:54
Speaker 3: this right training people to use the methods of professional
19:58
Speaker 3: fact checkers e. Using a search engine to see what
20:02
Speaker 3: others say about the source of the content, what they
20:05
Speaker 3: call lateral reading, rather than critically thinking through the content itself,
20:12
Speaker 3: which is called vertical reading. That's been shown to be
20:15
Speaker 3: effective in assessing the credibility of websites. School based interventions
20:19
Speaker 3: with instructional strategies like teacher modeling and guided practice can
20:22
Speaker 3: be used to teach la lateral reading. Pop up graphics
20:26
Speaker 3: can be used to prompt social media users to read
20:29
Speaker 3: Laterally Cambridge University Cash Sunstein of this report are saying
20:35
Speaker 3: that citizens should be trained to not critically think through
20:40
Speaker 3: content that they find online, and that they should be
20:44
Speaker 3: searching for official, sanctioned narrative reinforcing titles, whether that's from
20:50
Speaker 3: the government or elsewhere in the media, in order to
20:54
Speaker 3: correct them and keep them on course. Right, they are
20:57
Speaker 3: being completely explicit about they're doing and what their plans are,
21:02
Speaker 3: and what we've seen over the past few years. Based
21:05
Speaker 3: on its report and the change of language from just
21:08
Speaker 3: a nudge to a boost, I think we're going to
21:11
Speaker 3: see this stuff really ramp up over the coming months.
21:16
Speaker 1: Ben, Thank you very much for that, and I totally
21:18
Speaker 1: agree this is going to accelerate very quickly as they
21:21
Speaker 1: get more desperate. Something I just like to emphasize people
21:25
Speaker 1: is the language that they're using. We need to understand it.
21:29
Speaker 1: We need to spend time reading in detail what these
21:33
Speaker 1: individuals are saying, because at the end of the day,
21:36
Speaker 1: they are unfolding their policy on the back of this language.
21:40
Speaker 1: If you understand the language, you understand not only the
21:44
Speaker 1: policies that they are enacting, but you can also then
21:48
Speaker 1: understand how to dismantle these policies. So I'd say to
21:52
Speaker 1: our audience, please don't dismiss the language of these individuals
21:56
Speaker 1: as nonsense. It is nonsense in one way, but we
22:01
Speaker 1: have to look at it. They are using this in
22:03
Speaker 1: order to create the policies. Now, how are we going
22:06
Speaker 1: to deal with this attack on our minds? Well, Diane,
22:09
Speaker 1: you've been away with some other people and that's always
22:12
Speaker 1: a good start.
22:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks Brian. Hello, Ben, It's really great to be
22:17
Speaker 4: in the studio today. I'm actually down here because over
22:20
Speaker 4: the weekend I attended and spoke at a conference that
22:22
Speaker 4: we talked about last Monday on the news, chaired by
22:25
Speaker 4: Kathy Mudge of Protect and Teach and As. I've done
22:29
Speaker 4: an interview with her previously, and she's been on the
22:31
Speaker 4: news last week talking about the conference. So on Saturday
22:35
Speaker 4: I went to their annual conference and had a wonderful time.
22:39
Speaker 4: I just have a few photos i'd like to show
22:41
Speaker 4: you here from the things I took, random things I
22:43
Speaker 4: took at the conference, showing kind of the spirit of
22:46
Speaker 4: the people that we're here. Here's somebody's tote bag saying help.
22:50
Speaker 4: She's thinking thoughts. I don't like arrest her. And these
22:54
Speaker 4: were some stones that were passed out that a lady
22:56
Speaker 4: is making for free. She was encouraged us to take
22:58
Speaker 4: as many as possible and leave them around in places.
23:02
Speaker 4: One says trans ideology is a belief. It is not fact,
23:05
Speaker 4: no hate, just truth and stop quote gender affirming butchery.
23:11
Speaker 4: Here's some coasters that were made that were handed out
23:14
Speaker 4: woman a female at any age twenty twenty five hashtag
23:17
Speaker 4: year of the Woman. This is of course because of
23:19
Speaker 4: the Supreme Court ruling and of course, as we know,
23:22
Speaker 4: a woman is an adult human female. Somebody's T shirt
23:25
Speaker 4: said safeguarding is our duty biology, not ideology. And I
23:31
Speaker 4: also picked up a copy of the Women's Quiz book.
23:33
Speaker 4: This is written by a woman in the nineteen nineties
23:36
Speaker 4: called Jennifer Gorley, who is a member of the Protect
23:38
Speaker 4: and Teach group. And what we're going to do is
23:41
Speaker 4: back if you're a member of Walls on Extra, we
23:44
Speaker 4: will talk about this book some more and extra we
23:46
Speaker 4: might even.
23:47
Speaker 1: Have a quiz Brian, Okay, sounds good.
23:50
Speaker 4: So some of the content that was covered in the conference.
23:53
Speaker 4: This is an important report from Protecting Teach called Safeguarding
23:56
Speaker 4: of Children in School and College. You can download this
23:59
Speaker 4: from their webs. It's a very important report that shows
24:01
Speaker 4: a lot of the research that they have done in
24:03
Speaker 4: terms of contacting the Church of England and other people
24:06
Speaker 4: who are in charge of what's happening in the schools
24:08
Speaker 4: and the colleges and trying to call them out for
24:10
Speaker 4: it and trying to make people realize the biological reality
24:14
Speaker 4: of having only two sexes. This is Professor Gloria Moss.
24:18
Speaker 4: Some of you will recognize her name. She wrote the
24:21
Speaker 4: article that came out recently on a UK column about
24:24
Speaker 4: the Fabians and the Fabians founding of the Labor Party
24:27
Speaker 4: against very important reports. So she was one of the
24:30
Speaker 4: invited speakers and I was the other invited speaker. She
24:33
Speaker 4: talked about the relationship between transgenderism and transhumanism and again
24:38
Speaker 4: brought in some of her work on the Fabians. She
24:41
Speaker 4: did a wonderful speech as well about all of the
24:43
Speaker 4: academic research that she's done in the past that shows
24:46
Speaker 4: the reality of the differences between men and women and
24:48
Speaker 4: their preferences for design. These are the two wonderful ladies
24:53
Speaker 4: that kind of head up the group. Kathy Mudge, you'll
24:56
Speaker 4: know what we saw her last week on the news
24:58
Speaker 4: and that's the other men of the committee over there
25:00
Speaker 4: on the right, and they kind of gave an overall
25:03
Speaker 4: introduction to the conference. One of the things that has
25:06
Speaker 4: been covered in Kathy's interview that I did with her
25:09
Speaker 4: a few weeks ago is the Church of England's guidance
25:13
Speaker 4: called Flora. It's called I'm Sorry, It's about Sorry, Flourishing
25:16
Speaker 4: for all anti bullying guidance for Church of England schools.
25:20
Speaker 4: And one of the things that we showed in this
25:22
Speaker 4: interview was an appendix from that document that showed a
25:25
Speaker 4: glossary of terms showing that the Church of England has
25:28
Speaker 4: in fact adopted gender ideology, with terms like gender dysphoria,
25:32
Speaker 4: identity disorder, gender Recognition Certificate MTUA, which is male or
25:36
Speaker 4: female packing, which is making people look like they are
25:39
Speaker 4: something that they are not underneath for clothing, transgender transitioning binding,
25:44
Speaker 4: which is what girls do when they don't want to
25:46
Speaker 4: develop their breasts, and so on. So one of the
25:49
Speaker 4: things after this came out that the Church of England
25:53
Speaker 4: was contacted by Protect and Teach and they had been
25:56
Speaker 4: contacted previously and they said please, because of the Supreme
25:59
Speaker 4: Court judgment, we would like to request is that you
26:02
Speaker 4: adapt this document to show that there is only two
26:05
Speaker 4: sexes and that one sex cannot be participating in things
26:09
Speaker 4: that are meant for the other sex. And so they
26:12
Speaker 4: were quite successful in a way. It wasn't entirely amended,
26:15
Speaker 4: but they did amend this flourishing for All documentation to
26:19
Speaker 4: show that in fact, what we are now doing is
26:22
Speaker 4: showing that there is only two sexes and there's some
26:24
Speaker 4: more work to do in it. But that was one thing,
26:26
Speaker 4: so now the document has been amended as of April
26:29
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. Something else that Kathy presented was some
26:35
Speaker 4: I guess we could say some presentations that have been
26:39
Speaker 4: developed by a group called Jigsaw, and Jigsaw is one
26:42
Speaker 4: of the organizations that now provides curriculum to students in
26:47
Speaker 4: England schools. This was leaked on the Internet by a
26:51
Speaker 4: concerned adult that had been attained otherwise, so basically these
26:56
Speaker 4: are not normally shared with parents, but we did get
26:59
Speaker 4: access to some of these, and I'm just going to
27:01
Speaker 4: show a few examples of what the children are shown
27:04
Speaker 4: in schools when they're doing this PSAT education, which is
27:07
Speaker 4: the personality of personal sexual health education. So is this
27:12
Speaker 4: to show a couple of slides from this, and these
27:15
Speaker 4: are things that are read out directly to the students
27:17
Speaker 4: that are given to the teachers. The teachers have no
27:19
Speaker 4: choice in what's shared in this curriculum. So this one says,
27:22
Speaker 4: when we are born, we have a particular set of
27:25
Speaker 4: private body parts, genitals, reproductive organs, and needs mean we
27:28
Speaker 4: are said to be male or female. This is the
27:31
Speaker 4: biological sex that is recorded on our birth certificate. Most
27:34
Speaker 4: people are born with either a male body or a
27:37
Speaker 4: female body. This is known as your biological sex. We
27:41
Speaker 4: usually call someone born with male genitals, which include a
27:44
Speaker 4: penis and testicles, a boy, and someone born with female genitals,
27:48
Speaker 4: which includes a volva, vagina and womb a girl. The
27:51
Speaker 4: way a person feels about themselves, which of course is
27:54
Speaker 4: obviously different, and whether they feel like they are male
27:58
Speaker 4: a boy or female a girl is known as their
28:00
Speaker 4: gender identity. And this is one of the things that
28:04
Speaker 4: is shown as part of this particular lesson. And what
28:07
Speaker 4: I would like to do is leave this on screen
28:09
Speaker 4: and read the notes that are given to the teachers
28:11
Speaker 4: that they are provided when they have to give this
28:14
Speaker 4: lesson to the children. And this is exactly what the
28:16
Speaker 4: teachers are told to do. Demonstrate how to draw a
28:20
Speaker 4: Venn diagram, which is what is shown there where we
28:22
Speaker 4: have boys and girls as separate and then both in
28:25
Speaker 4: the middle, which is a mix potentially of boys and girls,
28:28
Speaker 4: with one circle labeled boys, one circle labeled girls, and
28:31
Speaker 4: both in the middle, and ask children to quickly do
28:34
Speaker 4: their own on whiteboards. Ask children to sort the statements
28:37
Speaker 4: into categories by writing the numbers in the correct area
28:40
Speaker 4: of the Venn diagram in pairs of appropriate Remind the
28:43
Speaker 4: children how to complete a ven diagram, including how some
28:47
Speaker 4: things can be outside all the circles. I don't know
28:49
Speaker 4: how that works. Before children are invited to share their categorization,
28:54
Speaker 4: ask them if this was an easy or difficult exercise
28:57
Speaker 4: and why do they think they have been asked to
28:59
Speaker 4: do this? And then I know it's the teacher. You
29:01
Speaker 4: will be able to see how aware of gender stereotyping
29:04
Speaker 4: they are by their responses. Hopefully children will not have
29:07
Speaker 4: ingrained gender stereotypes, and if they don't, please feel you
29:11
Speaker 4: can move swiftly through this part of the lesson. So
29:14
Speaker 4: we're trying to break apart what boys do and what
29:16
Speaker 4: girls do and break down those stereotypes. However, if you
29:20
Speaker 4: see some stereotypical ideas coming through. It's worth spending time
29:24
Speaker 4: unpacking these with a children do not leave stereotypical responses unchallenged.
29:29
Speaker 4: Handle the discussion carefully to draw out the concept of stereotypes. So, Brian,
29:34
Speaker 4: here what we're seeing is the breakdown of understanding what
29:38
Speaker 4: it is to be a boy and what it is
29:39
Speaker 4: to be a girl. Not to say that stereotypes are
29:41
Speaker 4: always the case, but I don't think that they want
29:43
Speaker 4: the children to leave the lesson at all whatsoever with
29:46
Speaker 4: any concept of what a boy is or what a
29:48
Speaker 4: girl is. I don't know what you think about that.
29:51
Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely correct. And what we're seeing is
29:53
Speaker 1: the power of these outside agencies and the companies, and
29:57
Speaker 1: were now in the situation where a school teacher is
30:00
Speaker 1: not allowed to think for themselves in preparing their own
30:04
Speaker 1: lesson plan. So couple that with a government that wants
30:07
Speaker 1: to use accelerated nudging to reframe the way adults think.
30:13
Speaker 1: We can be sure that they are desperate to get
30:16
Speaker 1: their hands on the minds of little children so that
30:19
Speaker 1: those children can be reframed before they become adults. Very
30:23
Speaker 1: very sinister stuff, Diane. We will continue to keep reporting,
30:27
Speaker 1: and I'm going to say huge thank you to all
30:30
Speaker 1: the people who who set up that conference and of
30:34
Speaker 1: course who are taking the trouble to confront some of
30:38
Speaker 1: these organizations head on. This is what proper activism is about,
30:42
Speaker 1: and this is what we need if we're going to
30:46
Speaker 1: pull the foundation out from this dangerous government grooming of
30:51
Speaker 1: our children. Well, if you like what the UK Column
30:56
Speaker 1: is doing, then please do support us. We need your
30:59
Speaker 1: finance support and of course there's many ways you can
31:02
Speaker 1: do that. You can make a donation to us, you
31:05
Speaker 1: can take out a monthly, annual or lifetime membership. You
31:09
Speaker 1: can also buy something through the shop and we always
31:13
Speaker 1: like to highlight that we do have Clive Decal's health
31:18
Speaker 1: products and we make a small percentage on those if
31:21
Speaker 1: you would like to order through UK Column. Now, the
31:24
Speaker 1: material we put out is to be shared, and although
31:28
Speaker 1: we are shadow banned on some of the platforms and
31:31
Speaker 1: completely banned on others, from time to time, YouTube information
31:37
Speaker 1: is there for people to circulate. Please do give the
31:40
Speaker 1: UK Column recognition if you're using information that's come from us.
31:44
Speaker 1: This helps us grow and expand. Now, Diane, you've been
31:50
Speaker 1: commenting on articles going up on UK column website. There's
31:53
Speaker 1: a lot of really good material. What have we got here?
31:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is just a couple of articles that
31:58
Speaker 4: have been published in the past. So every week when
32:01
Speaker 4: i'm every Monday, I'll be reviewing kind of what we've
32:03
Speaker 4: published in the past week. So here are two brand
32:05
Speaker 4: new ones to take a look at. This first one
32:08
Speaker 4: is from Venessa Billy The UK Private security Boom in
32:11
Speaker 4: Syria under Al Qaeda regime Part one, so this will
32:13
Speaker 4: be a multiple part series. She reported some of this
32:16
Speaker 4: material in her spot on the news last Wednesday. And
32:20
Speaker 4: the other new one is by Matthew Ritt, The Enduring
32:22
Speaker 4: Problem of the Jesuits, which is actually a very timely
32:25
Speaker 4: article because the pope who just passed away was a Jesuit.
32:28
Speaker 4: So it's really a very interesting historical and deep look
32:32
Speaker 4: into what the Jesuits are about and what they've been doing.
32:36
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you very much for that. Now, Ben, you've
32:40
Speaker 1: been out traveling and Saturday just gone was an event
32:44
Speaker 1: in the Stoveford Community Center in Sidmouth that was a
32:48
Speaker 1: talk called Natural Law Remedy or Ruin It's Choice by
32:52
Speaker 1: William Katie. How did you find it?
32:58
Speaker 3: It was fantastic. I had a wonderful, wonderful couple of
33:03
Speaker 3: days over in Sidmouth. Will was excellent. He talks about
33:08
Speaker 3: the British constitution, trial by jury mechanisms for self governance.
33:13
Speaker 3: See the question back there. Can we be our own government?
33:16
Speaker 3: I think we can, but we've got to take responsibility
33:18
Speaker 3: for our own actions. This is what we should ultimately
33:20
Speaker 3: be aiming for. It was a real powerhouse performance, three
33:24
Speaker 3: hours of material expertly delivered, and there's a great crowd there.
33:29
Speaker 3: It's really good to meet some UK column viewers. Had
33:32
Speaker 3: some lovely, warm comments and feedback and someone told me
33:36
Speaker 3: that I felt like a family member to them, which
33:38
Speaker 3: was just really lovely actually. And it was a great venue.
33:42
Speaker 3: Sidemauth is just something else I've never been down there before,
33:44
Speaker 3: being just one of the most beautiful places. And we
33:48
Speaker 3: even got a little display from the lifeguard out on maneuvers.
33:54
Speaker 3: They weren't actually rescuing anybody, but I think they were
33:57
Speaker 3: just letting everyone know that they were there.
34:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
34:01
Speaker 3: Great, a great weekend in Devon.
34:05
Speaker 1: Okay, Ben, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it, and
34:07
Speaker 1: a huge thank you again for those people that took
34:11
Speaker 1: the effort to put on an event to start talking
34:14
Speaker 1: not only about what's wrong, but what can be done.
34:17
Speaker 1: This is what proper activism is about. And a huge
34:20
Speaker 1: thank you to all that team. Well done to yourself
34:23
Speaker 1: for going. Should I just say that the RNLI were
34:28
Speaker 1: doing that exercise there that wasn't actually a migrant rubber
34:32
Speaker 1: boat before anybody gets too excited. Now, the other thing
34:37
Speaker 1: we have to tell you is that tonight at seven pm,
34:41
Speaker 1: Germ Warfare will be speaking on why machines will never
34:45
Speaker 1: rule the world. We're very grateful to have Germ with
34:48
Speaker 1: us on the UK Column and he's going to be
34:51
Speaker 1: putting out some really interesting material, so do look out
34:54
Speaker 1: for this at seven o'clock tonight. We've also got interesting
35:00
Speaker 1: interview coming up with malcolmer Hills under the title an
35:03
Speaker 1: Englishmen Abroad. Now, Malcolm's been living in Russia and this
35:08
Speaker 1: is an excellent opportunity for UK column viewers to understand
35:11
Speaker 1: a little bit about the realities of what it's like
35:15
Speaker 1: to live in other countries, particularly those countries that are
35:18
Speaker 1: constantly in the bad books of the United Kingdom. So
35:22
Speaker 1: do join us for that at one o'clock tomorrow. Now
35:26
Speaker 1: I'm just going to move on through one slide, so
35:29
Speaker 1: let's gone through that reminder that Friday the eighteenth, the
35:34
Speaker 1: nineteenth of July, we've got the Theptford Truth and Freedom
35:38
Speaker 1: Beer Festival at the Angel in swallow Lane, Larling in
35:42
Speaker 1: our sixteenth to qu that's not eighteenth and nineteenth of July.
35:48
Speaker 1: And again this is another event, very relaxed, where socializing
35:53
Speaker 1: with people and learning and talking about what's happening in
35:57
Speaker 1: the country go together. I think this is a very
36:00
Speaker 1: powerful way of doing things. People need the enjoyment of
36:04
Speaker 1: coming together and they need everything possible to get rid
36:07
Speaker 1: of that horrible stress and fear which the government is
36:11
Speaker 1: piling upon us with their behavioral insights and accelerated nudging.
36:17
Speaker 1: Now we've also got the Sounds Beautiful Festival coming up.
36:21
Speaker 1: That's June twenty sixth, twenty ninth in Wimborne, Dorset, and
36:27
Speaker 1: that is going to be a very good event with
36:29
Speaker 1: speakers and music and camping and a lot more. So
36:33
Speaker 1: if you can get there, please get involved, and also
36:38
Speaker 1: say that there's a couple of free tickets available if
36:42
Speaker 1: you go onto the UK column Facebook you can enter.
36:46
Speaker 1: Plus we'll put up a link on our show notes
36:49
Speaker 1: about this. So a lot happening and I think this
36:53
Speaker 1: is really encouraging people are not just active in the
36:57
Speaker 1: political sense, and well done to everybody in all the parties,
37:01
Speaker 1: not only the reform candidates that got out at local level,
37:05
Speaker 1: but all the other small party people who were taking
37:09
Speaker 1: on the big parties by being active on the streets.
37:13
Speaker 1: We also want to thank people who are putting on
37:15
Speaker 1: alternative conferences and doing things in their own way at
37:21
Speaker 1: local level. This is very, very powerful. So, Diane, probably
37:26
Speaker 1: that brings us back to you. What's been happening around libraries?
37:31
Speaker 4: Well, Brian, that was the question that Protect and Teach
37:34
Speaker 4: had for me. I've been working with them for a
37:36
Speaker 4: few months now on looking at the books that are
37:39
Speaker 4: being provided in libraries to children, and so they the
37:41
Speaker 4: reason they invited me to this conference over the weekend
37:44
Speaker 4: was did you talk about what's going on in libraries
37:47
Speaker 4: and how these things are getting into the hands of children.
37:50
Speaker 4: And what I want to say in advance is that
37:51
Speaker 4: basically the overall impression that I want to give to
37:55
Speaker 4: the viewers, and I hope you get this from what
37:57
Speaker 4: I show you, is that an entirety that revolves around
38:02
Speaker 4: the libraries, and it's not individual librarians in particular, that
38:05
Speaker 4: are trying to put this in front of children. It's
38:07
Speaker 4: an entire system, and essentially, I don't believe that the
38:10
Speaker 4: librarians are really given much of a choice, and I'm
38:12
Speaker 4: going to demonstrate that through some very direct evidence that
38:15
Speaker 4: I know how to access after over twenty years in
38:17
Speaker 4: the profession. So I just want to show here. Emily
38:21
Speaker 4: Draubensky was the president of the American Library Association from
38:25
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four. And the reason
38:27
Speaker 4: I'm going to be talking about the American Library Association
38:30
Speaker 4: is not only because I was trained under American Library
38:33
Speaker 4: Association credentials, but because there's a reciprocal relationship directly between
38:38
Speaker 4: the ALA and STILLIP, which is the UK's chartered Institute
38:41
Speaker 4: for Library and Information Professionals. And the reason that this
38:44
Speaker 4: is important is, for example, if you're trained in ALA program,
38:48
Speaker 4: you can come to the UK and work under a
38:50
Speaker 4: program that would otherwise be accredited by STILLIP and vice versa.
38:54
Speaker 4: So there are direct associations. And of course the ALA
38:57
Speaker 4: is much larger just due to the population of an America,
39:00
Speaker 4: and so a lot of what happens in SCYLLIP happens
39:03
Speaker 4: firstly with ALA and that includes the funding, that includes
39:06
Speaker 4: the agenda, that includes what gets pushed through the professional body.
39:11
Speaker 4: So Emily being president from twenty twenty three to twenty
39:14
Speaker 4: twenty four. When this first came out, she tweeted that
39:17
Speaker 4: she couldn't believe that a so called Marxist lesbian as
39:20
Speaker 4: she called herself, could be elected to be the president
39:23
Speaker 4: of the ALA, And she went on to say that
39:25
Speaker 4: she was definitely going to put her own politics into
39:28
Speaker 4: what happens in the American Library Association therefore in the libraries,
39:32
Speaker 4: which is really not what we are really supposed to
39:34
Speaker 4: be doing all at all ethically. So let's hear what
39:37
Speaker 4: Emily had to say to this conference in Chicago a
39:41
Speaker 4: couple of years ago that was literally a conference from
39:43
Speaker 4: Marxist and she went to go talk to them, and
39:45
Speaker 4: what did she say to them.
39:52
Speaker 2: I'm Emily in a library, and I just want to
39:54
Speaker 2: be I just want to say thank you for bringing
40:01
Speaker 2: up libraries and classic libraries, but also the library of
40:05
Speaker 2: all kinds of public libraries and higher educational.
40:07
Speaker 3: Libraries, and have an attack its in your ways.
40:10
Speaker 2: But I think your point is public education needs to
40:13
Speaker 2: be inside a social organizating library. Is really new too,
40:17
Speaker 2: and I haven't I haven't seen that further or of
40:21
Speaker 2: working in the libraries. So I think there's a real opportunity
40:24
Speaker 2: here to both connect what's happen in public edition of
40:27
Speaker 2: Company in Library avelot and we need some help in
40:31
Speaker 2: the libraries.
40:31
Speaker 3: We need to be on the Adenta visual organize.
40:34
Speaker 5: So at one G they have something.
40:39
Speaker 6: I want like career to work And if your knock
40:44
Speaker 6: out and inquite a difficult cub of the inspirations.
40:47
Speaker 1: Of me, can I just can I just say that?
40:53
Speaker 1: And I reacted during that video when when she said
40:56
Speaker 1: we need to you know, we need to focus on
40:59
Speaker 1: the agenda of socialist organizing. So there's that lady declaring
41:04
Speaker 1: that she's going to use her extreme political beliefs to
41:08
Speaker 1: get at the children by activists activism through the libraries.
41:14
Speaker 4: Quite incredible, yes, and unfortunately it gets where's Brian And
41:17
Speaker 4: I'm going to show you why hear So this is
41:20
Speaker 4: John Pateman. John Pateman has written a series of books.
41:23
Speaker 4: He's worked in public libraries for over forty years and
41:25
Speaker 4: his books have been there's basically a three part series.
41:29
Speaker 4: I think of books about public libraries that are published
41:32
Speaker 4: by Facet Publishing, which is the publisher of Sillip and
41:35
Speaker 4: I'm just going to read some direct quotes from these
41:37
Speaker 4: books because I can't say this any better than to
41:39
Speaker 4: come from them directly. Only the leader possesses the correct
41:43
Speaker 4: ideology and can disseminate this ideology. This then is the
41:46
Speaker 4: main role of the leader to articulate, spread and inculcate ideology.
41:51
Speaker 4: Kim Il Sung, Kim John Ill, and King John Un
41:54
Speaker 4: three exemplary leaders of the North Korean working class. It
41:59
Speaker 4: is no coincident and that the Jiu Je Tower in
42:01
Speaker 4: Pyongyang is directly opposite the Grand People's Study House, the
42:04
Speaker 4: National Library and Revolution Square both represent the guiding ideology
42:08
Speaker 4: of the Korean people. Public libraries are instruments of political indoctrination.
42:13
Speaker 4: They imbue the masses with the jiu Che idea and
42:16
Speaker 4: maintain ideological unity in the country and later elsewhere in
42:20
Speaker 4: the book, he said, I was honored to share a
42:22
Speaker 4: platform with Comrade for del Castro at the third Cuban
42:26
Speaker 4: Cultural Congress held at the Carl Marx Theatre in Havana.
42:29
Speaker 4: And he is the winner of the Cuban Cultural Medal
42:31
Speaker 4: for Library Service, and he is one of the leaders
42:34
Speaker 4: in public libraries both in the US and the UK,
42:36
Speaker 4: and is widely published by Sillip and Ala and other
42:39
Speaker 4: leading library publishers. Beth Montague Helen is a British librarian.
42:45
Speaker 4: She wrote a book that was published by Fassa Publishing
42:48
Speaker 4: Sillip in twenty twenty four called Practical Tips for Equality,
42:52
Speaker 4: diversity and Inclusion in Libraries, and she said as social
42:55
Speaker 4: justice minded librarians, we should accept that neutrality is not possible.
43:00
Speaker 4: Is taught that we're supposed to be neutral as librarians
43:02
Speaker 4: and just provide people with what they want. Right being,
43:04
Speaker 4: calls for censorship frequently asked that LGBTQ plus materials are
43:08
Speaker 4: removed from libraries, often in the name of protecting the
43:11
Speaker 4: children and teenagers who would most benefit from reading these
43:14
Speaker 4: books left being calls for censorship often ask that material
43:18
Speaker 4: that is racist, sexist, homophobic, or anti trans be removed.
43:22
Speaker 4: Many reading this book may agree with this stance, meaning
43:25
Speaker 4: librarians who are supposed to be brainwashed already finding this
43:28
Speaker 4: sort of content extremely distasteful and worrying about the effects
43:32
Speaker 4: the books may have on vulnerable members of our communities.
43:35
Speaker 4: And she goes on to say, drake queens are flamboyant
43:38
Speaker 4: performers and have frequently been integral to family entertainment, particularly
43:42
Speaker 4: in the UK where pantomime dames are popular. Alongside the
43:45
Speaker 4: benefit of welcoming the LGBTQ plus community into the library,
43:49
Speaker 4: a Drake Queen's Story Hour can be a lovely event
43:51
Speaker 4: for small children where books are read by excellent performers.
43:55
Speaker 4: Some sections of local communities are extremely hostile to these events, However,
44:00
Speaker 4: Sandra Hughes Hassel, who is the author of Collection Management
44:03
Speaker 4: for Youth is It's Another EDI book. She's an American
44:05
Speaker 4: academic and library and information science. She said library staff
44:10
Speaker 4: must pay attention to issues such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism,
44:15
Speaker 4: and economic inequality. They must develop strategies for addressing the inequities,
44:21
Speaker 4: not inequalities, which is very different in equities marginalized identity.
44:25
Speaker 4: Youth experience in all aspects of their library work, including
44:28
Speaker 4: collection development. But how do we do that? To ensure
44:31
Speaker 4: equitable library collections for all youth, library staff who act
44:35
Speaker 4: as collectors must adopt a structural ideology. There's that word again,
44:39
Speaker 4: the Guchy idea, the duchideology that came from Lennon originally
44:43
Speaker 4: according to John Pateman, perspective that recognizes the role of
44:47
Speaker 4: systems in marginalizing and oppressing marginalized identity youth. This is
44:52
Speaker 4: another book for about school libraries with Impact, which is
44:54
Speaker 4: another publication other book published by Pillop the last couple
44:58
Speaker 4: of years. A few quotes from this A group of
45:01
Speaker 4: parents and cares from a particular religion cannot force the
45:04
Speaker 4: library not to stock books with LGBTQ plus characters using
45:09
Speaker 4: the argument that it is against their beliefs. The Equality
45:13
Speaker 4: Act protects the library from enforced censorship and challenges to
45:16
Speaker 4: resource provision. Osted state that the school environment should meet
45:20
Speaker 4: the needs of all peoples, irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, race,
45:26
Speaker 4: religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. They will look
45:30
Speaker 4: at behavior and safety within a school in the context
45:32
Speaker 4: of the Equality Act. A key component of the statutory
45:36
Speaker 4: guidance for safeguarding is having an equality and diversity policy
45:40
Speaker 4: that seeks to prevent discrimination, harassment, and bullying and details
45:45
Speaker 4: how to deal with these issues. And I'm not sure
45:47
Speaker 4: what that means for people who are buzz Slower, Christian
45:49
Speaker 4: or any other religion in this country. Book twenty eight
45:52
Speaker 4: is an LGBTQ organization. They have a small lending library
45:57
Speaker 4: in London and they also provide guidance for librarians to
46:00
Speaker 4: summarize us quickly and basically what they say is that
46:03
Speaker 4: they give you information on how to subvert the normal
46:06
Speaker 4: ways that librarians get materials into libraries by going to
46:10
Speaker 4: other suppliers including books for younger children, board books, picture books,
46:15
Speaker 4: middle grade books and that we have noticed that sometimes
46:18
Speaker 4: it's improving according to them, that the young adult titles
46:21
Speaker 4: do tender more automatically, but for children's titles it is
46:24
Speaker 4: essential to look beyond the UK including our list of
46:27
Speaker 4: library sur suppliers which is a link on their website
46:30
Speaker 4: and book awards for LGBTIQ as well as some the
46:34
Speaker 4: Sheffield University List Challenges which also includes children's titles. And
46:39
Speaker 4: just a couple of ways that these actually come through
46:42
Speaker 4: or through these vendors that provide things like book lists
46:44
Speaker 4: they have. This is Peters a book supplier to libraries
46:47
Speaker 4: diversive and inclusive books for schools. They work with an
46:51
Speaker 4: organization to charity called Inclusive Books for Children that make
46:54
Speaker 4: up these lists tell the libraries what they should be
46:57
Speaker 4: buying and book Trust is the other one to take
47:00
Speaker 4: a look at where they have again book list. They
47:03
Speaker 4: say they support librarians, they curate books for librarians. Don't worry, librarians,
47:08
Speaker 4: you have lots of time because we're going to come
47:10
Speaker 4: up with the list for you of what you need
47:12
Speaker 4: to buy. Here's an example of one of their best
47:14
Speaker 4: books from the past year, which shows all kinds of
47:18
Speaker 4: diversity of present in this book. And again this is
47:21
Speaker 4: the part of the PSAHT Curriculum for young Children. Dewey
47:25
Speaker 4: decimal numbers that are provided by the book twenty eight organization.
47:28
Speaker 4: We see three oh six point seven seventy five is
47:31
Speaker 4: S and M. We see three oh six point seven
47:34
Speaker 4: six eight as transgender and intersex people. Seven nine point
47:38
Speaker 4: two point zero two eight is drag and mail and
47:40
Speaker 4: field Bale impersonation. So if you want to find those
47:42
Speaker 4: in your library, that's where you find them. And there's
47:45
Speaker 4: a list of terms called the homosaurus, which is specifically
47:48
Speaker 4: for LGBTQ population, and one of their items as an
47:52
Speaker 4: official term that can be used to describe books and
47:55
Speaker 4: library catalogs is in fact transgender children. So Brian, I
47:59
Speaker 4: think it's pretty easy to see here what they're doing
48:01
Speaker 4: we see the idea geology coming from North Korea and
48:03
Speaker 4: from Lenin and from the Soviet Union and coming the
48:06
Speaker 4: other way down into telling librarians how they need to
48:09
Speaker 4: describe the materials and the catallags and even tell them
48:11
Speaker 4: them what books they should be banged.
48:13
Speaker 1: And interestingly enough, that pathway comes through the so called
48:18
Speaker 1: rules based international order, which says effectively that it's based
48:22
Speaker 1: on Western democracy. So something very different is going. We'll
48:26
Speaker 1: talk about this a lot more in UK column Extra
48:30
Speaker 1: Ben take us a little deeper down the rabbit hole
48:34
Speaker 1: with Innovate.
48:38
Speaker 3: I can't believe that he referenced Kim jongen as as
48:41
Speaker 3: an inspiration. I mean, that's just crazy, isn't it. Anyway,
48:45
Speaker 3: the global energy transition, the Grand Transition rumbles on the
48:50
Speaker 3: public private marketplace. Touchdown in London last week for Innovation
48:55
Speaker 3: zero World Congress. Let's see some highlights in day one.
49:06
Speaker 5: We're here at a conference called Innovation Zero. We need
49:09
Speaker 5: all of us, as a community of business leaders but
49:11
Speaker 5: also government leaders, have the courage to stay the course.
49:16
Speaker 5: That's why this conference is so important bringing us together.
49:22
Speaker 6: I think we should speak openly and candidly with people
49:25
Speaker 6: about what it will take to enable energy bills to
49:27
Speaker 6: fall whilst we do the right thing for the planet.
49:30
Speaker 4: Making electricity cheat is so vital because sixty percent of
49:34
Speaker 4: our emissions.
49:35
Speaker 3: Reduction over the next decade is going to come from
49:37
Speaker 3: building cheap electricity. Well, I think this event is fantastic.
49:42
Speaker 3: I meant just a scale of it.
49:44
Speaker 6: It was absolutely packed.
49:46
Speaker 5: It's vital that we have the investment in a low
49:49
Speaker 5: carbon economy.
49:51
Speaker 3: That will deliver renewable energy and the growth of the
49:54
Speaker 3: net zero economy. Well, clean power is one of the
49:57
Speaker 3: most important things that we're doing to support the UK
50:00
Speaker 3: on me right now because it's of her investment.
50:02
Speaker 6: If we get that right, this is one of the
50:04
Speaker 6: greatest business opportunities of our lifetime.
50:10
Speaker 3: They have it, the greatest business opportunity of our lifetime.
50:14
Speaker 3: I'm not even going to tell you what they want,
50:16
Speaker 3: because you know what they want. They want to completely
50:18
Speaker 3: remodel the whole system, move us over to these new,
50:21
Speaker 3: untested technologies that don't work and frankly completely unnecessary. Who's
50:26
Speaker 3: delivering the message, Well, it's the usual suspects. So Sondrine
50:30
Speaker 3: Dixon de clev She's a really nasty piece of work,
50:34
Speaker 3: this woman. I've listened to a lot of what she
50:36
Speaker 3: has to say. I just took this screen grab, you know,
50:39
Speaker 3: just just without trying to picture her in any particular way,
50:44
Speaker 3: but I think it sums her up quite nicely. She
50:48
Speaker 3: is apparently the author and executive chair or something called
50:52
Speaker 3: Earth for All. But also importantly they missed this bit out.
50:55
Speaker 3: She's president of the Club of rome A right, and
50:57
Speaker 3: she was the first person in their videos. I think
51:00
Speaker 3: tells you a lot about what the priorities are and
51:01
Speaker 3: who's ultimately calling the shot. Who else will we got
51:04
Speaker 3: in the frame? Greg Jackson, CEO of Rocktimber's Energy, basically
51:08
Speaker 3: the selected champion of net zero And for me, this
51:12
Speaker 3: guy he's a front man. Actually listen to what he's
51:15
Speaker 3: talking about. Anytime that he speaks, imagine that he's just
51:19
Speaker 3: delivering a script and that he doesn't actually understand what
51:21
Speaker 3: he's saying, and I think you'll get a real insight
51:24
Speaker 3: into what this guy's about. He's essentially a front man
51:27
Speaker 3: for global capital and in particular some of the big
51:32
Speaker 3: technology plays that are happening further up the chaining side,
51:35
Speaker 3: Octopus group cracking in particular, I think you need to
51:38
Speaker 3: go and have a look at as basically a global
51:40
Speaker 3: control system for whole of international energy infrastructure. And he's
51:45
Speaker 3: basically just a front man to help it usher this
51:47
Speaker 3: whole thing through. Who else was there? Emma Pinchback, new
51:50
Speaker 3: CEO of the Climate Change Committee. I've got to say
51:53
Speaker 3: it's remarkable she actually made it to the event. Apparently
51:56
Speaker 3: by her own emissions. She has trouble getting out of
51:58
Speaker 3: bed in the morning. And I just leave that there.
52:03
Speaker 3: Who else loaded their turner? The chairman of the FSA
52:08
Speaker 3: during the two thousand and eight financial crisis, So he's
52:11
Speaker 3: actually personally responsible for all of those bankers that went
52:14
Speaker 3: to prison after the Great Crash in two thousand and eight.
52:18
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, no, no bankers. No bankers went to prison,
52:20
Speaker 3: did they? So he oversaw that. He's also remember the
52:23
Speaker 3: G thirty, who was the group that oversee the Bank
52:25
Speaker 3: of International Settlements, the Central Bank of Central bankers. And
52:30
Speaker 3: he actually describes himself as a technocrat. That's how he
52:33
Speaker 3: talks about himself and what he does. And then finally
52:37
Speaker 3: this little squeaker, this is Chris Stark, who's a head
52:41
Speaker 3: of Mission for Clean Power, another unelected technocrat. And I
52:45
Speaker 3: will just say to mister start although we're going to
52:47
Speaker 3: be bringing you back in because you're quite important. We'll
52:50
Speaker 3: talk about you a lot over the coming months, mister Start.
52:52
Speaker 3: But I would just say for now, what happens in
52:55
Speaker 3: Edinburgh stays in Edinburgh, doesn't it, mister Start. I'm sure
52:58
Speaker 3: you will certainly help, I hope so. Anyway, So that's
53:01
Speaker 3: the central command of control function. The whole thing's being
53:05
Speaker 3: ushered in by these clowns. So these are the ones
53:07
Speaker 3: doing the dirty work down in the trenches. So you've
53:09
Speaker 3: got from the left, Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester,
53:12
Speaker 3: Steve Rotherham, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Metti Coban,
53:16
Speaker 3: Deputy Mayor for Energy and the Environments in London, Sinikkhan's
53:20
Speaker 3: best mate, founder of My Life, My Say, an Obama leader,
53:24
Speaker 3: basically a Rothschild puppet. And these three are being babysat
53:29
Speaker 3: there by Auntie and see, which is Emma Howard boyd
53:33
Speaker 3: Cbe who's also wearing a Dandy Lion badge. And we've
53:37
Speaker 3: spoken about Dandy Lions a lot previously, and she is
53:40
Speaker 3: pulling the strings there with those three the Metro mayors
53:43
Speaker 3: that they're doing what they're told by the Dandy Lions
53:46
Speaker 3: and that just gives us a sense of how this
53:48
Speaker 3: whole thing's being orchestrated and also a sense of, I think,
53:51
Speaker 3: how we can push back against it. Because the Simon Steel,
53:55
Speaker 3: the top guy for climate change at the UN told
53:57
Speaker 3: us the other day local govern are absolutely crucial in
54:02
Speaker 3: driving climate action. If it doesn't happen at a local level,
54:05
Speaker 3: it doesn't happen anywhere. So this is where the fint
54:08
Speaker 3: is to fust stop to this whole thing.
54:12
Speaker 1: Okay, Ben, thank you very much. We're going to continue
54:16
Speaker 1: in a forthcoming news additions to dig into this morass
54:21
Speaker 1: of policy makers because we have to get the liddle
54:25
Speaker 1: fit to stop it. Diane, where does that take us
54:28
Speaker 1: with yourself?
54:30
Speaker 4: I just wanted to cover something that we'll be coming
54:33
Speaker 4: in much greater detail. As we know countries around the
54:37
Speaker 4: world unfortunately have been doing their inquiries which we know
54:41
Speaker 4: are essentially cover ups, and I'm working on some deeper
54:44
Speaker 4: research on that. So I just wanted to say I
54:47
Speaker 4: got in touch, or actually she got in touch with me.
54:49
Speaker 4: This lady Cutlinda Wharton, who is in charge of the
54:52
Speaker 4: Health Forum New Zealand, and what she's got for us
54:56
Speaker 4: is basically she's responding to phase two of the acquiring
55:00
Speaker 4: New Zealand. We all know about single source of truth
55:03
Speaker 4: to send our doom who was in charge at the time,
55:05
Speaker 4: and what she did to the people of New Zealand
55:07
Speaker 4: was very, very disturbing. So Phase two of the inquiry
55:11
Speaker 4: you could read the details there, there's quite a bit,
55:13
Speaker 4: but the part that I wanted you to see was
55:14
Speaker 4: that the way they worded it was quite I thought,
55:17
Speaker 4: rather insulting. They said, Phase two is focusing on the
55:20
Speaker 4: topics anti mandate groups got most hung up on, such
55:23
Speaker 4: as vaccines, lockdowns and mandates. So she took that for
55:28
Speaker 4: real and her group, which has all been about supporting
55:30
Speaker 4: the vaccine injured and so on in New Zealand, she
55:33
Speaker 4: decided to go ahead and take care of that. So
55:36
Speaker 4: this is her website, the Health Form New Zealand supporting
55:38
Speaker 4: COVID Vaccine Impacted. They call it Vaccine Impacted in New Zealand,
55:43
Speaker 4: New Zealanders. And here's a quote from her. This was
55:46
Speaker 4: an email that she sent to me a few days ago.
55:48
Speaker 4: Because she worked really hard to meet the deadline for
55:51
Speaker 4: getting submissions from the public. And as for the final deadline,
55:55
Speaker 4: as of on Friday, there had only been seventy three
55:58
Speaker 4: hundred submissions after forty eight hours of manic posting, emailing
56:01
Speaker 4: Facebook lives in sixteen hour days, we finished with thirty
56:05
Speaker 4: one thousand submissions. Certainly not what the commissioners had been expecting,
56:09
Speaker 4: but we are all overwhelmed and delighted. The Health Forum
56:11
Speaker 4: submission was huge and in several different parts. I'm sending
56:14
Speaker 4: you just a few of the documents we wrote to
56:16
Speaker 4: serve as an overview to the Health Forum and the
56:19
Speaker 4: New Zealand COVID experience, and just to show a couple
56:23
Speaker 4: of photos that she sent me. I'm still looking through
56:25
Speaker 4: the documents that she sent me, but she told me
56:27
Speaker 4: I was free to share what she had sent to me.
56:29
Speaker 4: So here's a photo of different vaccine injured people telling
56:33
Speaker 4: their stories saying, please know my mandates. The focus of
56:37
Speaker 4: their submission was about employment mandates, because in New Zealand
56:39
Speaker 4: you weren't allowed to work if you didn't get vaccinated.
56:42
Speaker 4: So here's a lady who said, I refused to be
56:44
Speaker 4: a trial subject, my body, my choice. Eighteen years caregiver.
56:47
Speaker 4: Vaccine took my friend, almost took my partner. Now it
56:50
Speaker 4: has taken my livelihood eleven years and midwife said somebody
56:55
Speaker 4: else advocating informed decisions, where's ours? Coercion is not a choice.
57:00
Speaker 4: So there's a huge submission of all these people. There's
57:02
Speaker 4: a joint submission and as I said, over thirty thousand
57:05
Speaker 4: submissions and getting all that together in just a few days.
57:09
Speaker 4: I really hope that the New Zealand government will be
57:11
Speaker 4: overwhelmed by this incredible evidence that they've submitted. But again,
57:15
Speaker 4: as we've been seeing throughout the news, brand's another great
57:17
Speaker 4: example of people actually getting out there and doing something
57:20
Speaker 4: to let their voices be heard and let the governments
57:22
Speaker 4: be taken health to account to what they've done to us.
57:25
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Yes, it's outstanding to see people
57:29
Speaker 1: getting out and tackling what's happening. We have to understand
57:33
Speaker 1: what is being done, how we're being attacked, especially the
57:36
Speaker 1: attacks on our minds, and then we have to get
57:39
Speaker 1: out there and challenge it at every level, whether that's
57:42
Speaker 1: a political level or whether it's simply getting in at
57:46
Speaker 1: the ground on some of those local authority meetings, parish
57:50
Speaker 1: council meetings, in order to challenge people pushing the policy through. Well,
57:56
Speaker 1: let's just end on this and I'll do this very quickly.
57:59
Speaker 1: We'll cover it more detail on another day's news. But
58:03
Speaker 1: essentially I've been pushing this interview which will come out
58:10
Speaker 1: fairly shortly, but a really extraordinary interview with the person
58:14
Speaker 1: down in Cornwall talking about the destruction of the church,
58:18
Speaker 1: the Christian Church. Who is doing the destruction of the church,
58:22
Speaker 1: the Church of England itself, But luckily Christians in Cornwall
58:26
Speaker 1: now starting to speak out. But if you want to
58:28
Speaker 1: know what's coming, well, this is back to twenty twenty
58:33
Speaker 1: three Private Member's Bill, this Establishment of the Church of England,
58:38
Speaker 1: and this we can see really what's planned now. This
58:43
Speaker 1: seems to be stagnant at the moment, but it reflects
58:46
Speaker 1: the mindset of people that want to completely emasculate the
58:52
Speaker 1: Church of England. Here's the bill printed on the sixth
58:56
Speaker 1: of December twenty twenty three, and I'll just put in
59:00
Speaker 1: a little bit of the text here on screen. You
59:03
Speaker 1: can obviously freeze that. But the purpose of this act
59:06
Speaker 1: is to secure that the Church of England is disestablished
59:11
Speaker 1: and all the powers over faith, doctrine, liturgy, property, discipline
59:16
Speaker 1: and appointments now exercised over or on behalf of that church.
59:21
Speaker 1: But the Crown Parliament or private patrons are transferred in
59:24
Speaker 1: their entirety to the General sin or to the Church
59:27
Speaker 1: of England, to be exercised in accordance with any rules
59:31
Speaker 1: determined by that body. Why this has become so significant
59:35
Speaker 1: for me is that the Christians in Cornwall are talking
59:38
Speaker 1: about the Church of England itself, its governing bodies, destroying
59:43
Speaker 1: churches in Cornwall and other locations in UK. It says
59:47
Speaker 1: that committee must be established, sorry, let's just bring that
59:51
Speaker 1: on and the committee must make recommendations to identify the
59:55
Speaker 1: legislative changes required to disestablish the Church of England, including
1:00:00
Speaker 1: ensuring the Sovereign no longer holds the title of Defender
1:00:05
Speaker 1: of the Faith and Supreme Governor at the Church of England.
1:00:09
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to stop there, but we will look
1:00:12
Speaker 1: at this in more detail. It's very clear that there
1:00:16
Speaker 1: is a major attack on the Church of England, the
1:00:19
Speaker 1: Christian Church going on in this country, and of course
1:00:22
Speaker 1: it's coming from the highest levels of our political system.
1:00:27
Speaker 1: Why do they need to do this? This follows the
1:00:30
Speaker 1: Marxist ideology which has been a theme of today's news,
1:00:34
Speaker 1: that you must destroy people's ability to have a connection
1:00:39
Speaker 1: with a loving God, so I think today's news very
1:00:43
Speaker 1: very important on this bank holiday. What can you do
1:00:47
Speaker 1: about it? Challenge it at every opportunity in the simplest
1:00:52
Speaker 1: way any way you can, and do it by joining
1:00:55
Speaker 1: up with other people, because we're all stronger if we
1:00:59
Speaker 1: work together. We must end there. Diane, thank you very
