Speaker 1: Good afternoon.
0:09
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, the twentieth of August twenty twenty four, just
0:11
after one o'clock.
0:13
Speaker 1: Welcome to UK Colin News.
0:14
Speaker 2: I'm your host Marc Robinson joining me by a video
0:16
link today, Charles Mallett and Vanessa Billy, welcome to the program.
0:20
Speaker 1: Both.
0:21
Speaker 2: We're going to get started with yesterday's I'm I'm not
0:26
really sure how to describe it in the park with
0:28
Keir Starmer, who's apparently going to fix the foundations. But
0:31
of course, in order to get to the foundations, to
0:33
fix them, you've got to demolish the building first. So
0:37
let's listen to a little bit of what he had
0:38
to say.
0:41
Speaker 3: But I have to be honest with you, things are
0:44
worse than we ever imagined. In the first few weeks,
0:50
we discovered a twenty two billion pound black hole in
0:54
the public finances. And before anyone says, oh, this is
0:58
just performative or playing politics, let's remember the OBR did
1:04
not know about it. They wrote a letter setting that
1:09
out and they didn't know because the last government hid it.
1:14
An even last Wednesday, just last Wednesday, we found out
1:20
that thanks to the last government's recklessness, we borrowed almost
1:25
five billion pounds more than the OBR expected in the
1:29
last three months alone. That's not performative, that's fact.
1:36
Speaker 1: Pends in your definition of fact.
1:38
Speaker 2: But poor here, the Naudy Tories have destroyed the economy
1:41
and he's going to have to deal with that. Never
1:45
mind the fact that he basically agreed to everything that
1:48
they did over the last since twenty ten anyway, or
1:51
at least he and while he was in various shadow
1:55
cabinet rules and as leader of the Liver Party in
1:57
Nias Prime minister. So he made that comment setting the
2:02
scene for what came next.
2:03
Speaker 1: Let's have a listen.
2:06
Speaker 3: But I will be honest with you, there is a
2:10
budget coming in October and it's going to be painful.
2:16
We have no other choice given the situation that we're in.
2:21
Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden.
2:27
Speaker 2: So those are the broad shoulders should bear the heaviest burden.
2:31
And many people would agree with that statement they should
2:33
bear the heaviest burden.
2:36
Speaker 1: But he didn't say they will.
2:38
Speaker 2: He didn't say they would. He absolutely said they should,
2:43
And of course that's a very different thing.
2:45
Speaker 4: Now.
2:45
Speaker 2: The question then is what is the reason for this
2:49
economic disaster? That we're facing. Is it just the incompetence
2:53
of the Tory party or is there something else going on? Well,
2:57
let's bring this on screen, this tweet and as Toby
3:01
Young and he's really echoing at least his commentator on
3:08
Daily Skeptic is echoing this that you know, in fact,
3:12
the Tories left the economy worse than we imagined, is
3:15
belied by strong growth figures and so on. But of
3:19
course this isn't really what Starmer was talking about. And
3:23
the question is why are we facing economic ruin despite
3:26
what people might be doing in the broader economy. So
3:30
let's bring Alex Krinner on screen in a second, and
3:34
he starts to ask some questions and join some dots.
3:38
Let's have a listen to this first little clip.
3:41
Speaker 5: It is clear that the UK has continued making all
3:44
the mistakes made by other decaying empires, particularly in terms
3:48
of foreign adventurism. A sudden deterioration which developed during the
3:53
course of this year seems to be related to the
3:55
imminent military defeat in West proxy war against Russia. Britain
4:00
has been the principal cheerleader and sponsor of that conflict,
4:04
and she seems to have gone in over her head.
4:07
In addition to providing at least seven point five billion
4:10
pounds nearly ten billion dollars in military eight, Britain gave
4:14
another five billion pounds or six and a half billion
4:17
dollars to Ukraine in financial support. Furthermore, Britain has also
4:22
guaranteed multiple trenches of World Bank loans to Ukraine, and
4:25
many British financial institutions have purchased billions worth of Ukraine's bonds.
4:32
Speaker 2: Okay, so now we're starting to get some serious discussion
4:36
going on here because Alex Krinner highlighting the amount of
4:40
money that the UK has pushed in the direction of
4:43
Ukraine in the form of loans, admittedly in some cases,
4:47
but the question is are we ever going to see
4:49
that money returned? Will come on to that in a second,
4:51
but also in grants as well, and never mind the
4:55
amount of military material and so on that has been
4:59
sent that has to be replaced, that has to be.
5:02
Speaker 1: Funded as well.
5:03
Speaker 2: So Alex Kranner goes on to talk about whether the
5:06
likelihood of anybody get it or receiving their money from
5:11
Ukraine and the form of a repayment.
5:16
Speaker 5: But Ukraine can service her mountain foreign debts On Sunday,
5:20
May fourth, the Wall Street Journal reported that a group
5:22
of foreign bond holders, including such behemos as Black Rock, Pimco,
5:27
and Francis Amundi, put pressure on the government of Ukraine
5:30
to start repaying some of its debts. Back in July
5:34
twenty twenty two, this group granted Kiev a two year
5:37
grace period to pause repayments of some twenty billion dollars
5:41
in bonds that had previously purchased. That agreement was due
5:45
to expire on August one, twenty twenty four. Just the
5:49
interest on those debts alone would amount to nearly one
5:52
point five billion dollars a year, which is actually triple
5:55
what the media had reported. And here we're talking still
5:59
only about twenty billion dollars out of Ukraine's total debt
6:03
of well over one hundred and sixty billion. Given the
6:06
catastrophic state of the country's finances, the repayment of these
6:09
debts would collapse Ukraine's government and its economy.
6:15
Speaker 2: Apparently Britain isn't going to alloy that to happen. But
6:17
the question is, is Britain Gondi alloy its own economy
6:21
to collapse as a result.
6:24
Speaker 1: Let's continue with Alex Krinner.
6:27
Speaker 5: What's peculiar about the British financial system is that the
6:30
taxpayers are obliged to reimburse the Bank of England for
6:33
any losses it sustains on his balance sheet assets. If
6:37
the price of guilts on the bank's balance sheet collapses,
6:40
British taxpayer must cover those losses and make the bank whole.
6:45
So what kind of money are we talking about? As
6:48
the Financial Times reported last July, the Bank of England
6:51
estimated that it will require the Treasury to transfer a
6:55
total of one hundred and fifty billion pounds by twenty
6:57
twenty three to cover the bank's afected law sits on
7:00
its quantitative easing program. And how much is one hundred
7:04
and fifty billion pounds unless things have deteriorated since July
7:08
twenty twenty three, and I think they have. We're talking
7:11
two two hundred and forty pounds per man, woman and
7:14
child in Britain. That's the ransom which the Bank of
7:17
England is claiming from them.
7:21
Speaker 2: And I think the use of the word ransom there
7:23
is absolutely appropriate. We have one more club from Alex Kranner,
7:28
continuing to talk about the Bank of England.
7:32
Speaker 5: When businesses are losing sales to poverty rather than competition.
7:36
We know that the parasite is killing the host. The
7:39
parasite here is the banking cartel, and it doesn't care
7:42
about the plight of the ordinary British people. In an
7:46
interview last year, Bank of England's top economist Hugh pill
7:49
thought that the best advice he could offer to his
7:52
fellow Britons was to just accept being worse off.
7:57
Speaker 2: Just accept being worse off. Craner has put together a
8:02
very good report on the reality of the situation, and
8:06
that belies any claims that under the Tory, previous Tory regime,
8:12
the economy in this country has been burgeoning. In fact,
8:15
the government has been systematically destroying it, undermining it, and
8:20
the Bank of England and the banking cartel. And so
8:22
if we put Keir Starmer on screen here for a second,
8:25
this is the key point. He supported everything the Tories
8:28
did in Ukraine. He has created this problem in the
8:32
UK and the problem is not going to go away
8:35
anytime soon. But he also supported the entire principle of
8:40
leveling up. And as we've made the point before, we've
8:43
got a look at leveling up in terms of a seesaw.
8:47
So if certain countries in the world, as they like
8:50
to present it, are going to be lifted in terms
8:53
of standard of living, other countries in the world have
8:56
to come down in standards of and standard living. That
8:59
is sustainable ability, and that is the direction that we're
9:02
heading in this country. Is good to see a reduction
9:05
in standard of living, and Ukraine is part of the
9:09
cause of that, but government policy generally is the main
9:13
part of the cause of it. Okay, apologies for the
9:16
technical issue there. That was my fault, a bit of
9:18
a Biden moment. But let me welcome Vanessa to the
9:21
program and let's come up to date with what's been
9:25
going on in the Middle East in Hasbalah.
9:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, certainly, I'm just going to carry on from
9:32
the short excerpt you showed on Monday from the Times
9:36
of Israel that was claiming that Israel had preemptively struck
9:42
the launch site in Lobanon. And I will now prove
9:46
that that was the Times of Israel. First of all,
9:51
the US didn't despite the one third of their military
9:56
being moved to the area, to the region. They only
10:00
provided Israel with intelligence during haspitalazed response. That's a comment
10:05
from the Pentagon. And then regarding the claim from Israel
10:10
that they preemptively shruck thousands of targets or missile launches
10:16
inside Lebanon, Let's have a listen again to Alistair Kirk
10:20
form a diplomat and very knowledgeable on the regent, talking
10:23
about exactly that.
10:26
Speaker 7: So his bulla was planning of the operation to fire
10:32
drones and rockets at five point fifteen and Sunday morning,
10:37
and Israel started to an attack and a direct attack
10:44
and it involved I think about one hundred aircraft. The
10:48
contrary to what the Israeli propagandist that the IDEF was saying.
10:54
And I know this not from hisbola, but I know
10:57
this from inside Lebanon, people who are on the ground there.
11:02
It was chaotic. Twenty minutes. Israel just bombed various valleys
11:08
where they imagine the ballistic missiles were, but they've been
11:12
cleared out of there some time ago, and there were
11:14
no ballistic missiles. You can check that. I mean, you know,
11:19
there are people on the ground who know what's happened.
11:22
There are no missiles. So when it said they destroyed
11:27
thousands of missile launchers, this is a complete line.
11:35
Speaker 6: I can curve with as the quirk on that and
11:39
then so basically top us general who's currently visiting the
11:44
northern occupied territory, so on the border with Lebanon, rather
11:47
than going into Tel Aviv to speak about Gaza.
11:51
Speaker 4: So that's quite interesting. He's claiming General Charles Brown.
11:56
Speaker 6: That has blows response despite it only being supposedly the
12:01
first part of the retaliation, reduced the risk of regional war.
12:05
But he warns that of course we're still waiting for
12:08
the retaliation from the other members of the resistance access
12:11
including the most important Iran.
12:15
Speaker 4: So then let's have a look at a little video.
12:16
Speaker 6: That was put together showing what has BLA actually hit
12:20
inside Israel. And it's interesting that Israel is not putting
12:24
any statements out of fool.
12:25
Speaker 4: There's a complete.
12:26
Speaker 6: Blackout about the actual damage caused by Zbla's attack.
13:00
Speaker 5: H H.
13:52
Speaker 6: So, I mean, you know, quite an impressive first stage
13:55
of the retaliation. Then let's have a look at what
13:58
Israeli media is all so trying to present as the
14:02
problems with the host Flora attacks. So if we have
14:04
a look at the headline from the Jerusalem Post, the
14:08
IDF is claiming that ninety percent of host blows rockets
14:11
fired from civilian areas, and of course that's a claim
14:14
that you'll often hear about Hams and Gaza. But let's
14:17
have a look at a later image actually published by
14:21
the IOF themselves, which shows quite clearly the red blobs
14:26
there are the targeted missile launchers, and I think you
14:31
can see quite clearly even from the IOF evidence that
14:34
they are pretty far away from any civilian areas, comparing to,
14:39
of course the Israeli military bases embedded in the center
14:43
of Tel Aviv amidst civilian areas. So then what's also
14:48
been happening in Gaza In the last four days, One
14:50
hundred and seventy have been killed in what has been
14:53
really an increase, if it's possible, of the genocidal campaign,
14:57
three hundred and ninety injured, more school targeted, more journalists,
15:01
kill and the majority of the guards and civilians are
15:06
now basically being pushed onto the coastal area, which has
15:12
reduced the area of safety considerably. As you can see,
15:16
probably two million gardens are going to be quammed into
15:19
this area between the land and the sea. And then
15:24
let's have a look at what they face. So they
15:26
have tanks from behind them, boats from the sea, firing
15:30
on them. And this is just one clip of what
15:33
happened during the day. I mean, obviously that plane was
16:13
only firing players, but of course what it's demonstrating is
16:18
that at any time these tens cities on the beach
16:21
can be bombed and there is absolutely nowhere for them to go.
16:25
Shinbat Chief warns settler violence doing indescribable damage to Israel.
16:30
Ronan Borrow wrote to Metamiahu warning that Security Minister Bengevir's
16:35
actions and our AXA.
16:36
Speaker 4: Could lead to bloodshed.
16:38
Speaker 6: We've been talking about the schism between the far right
16:41
extremist factions and really the return to the Ergan terrorist
16:46
gangs under the control of the far right, and then
16:49
I just wanted to show this example of these fire
16:52
right gangs to the south of Hebron demonstrating sheer terrorism against.
16:59
Speaker 4: Plastic and honest and so what that's just here?
17:07
Speaker 8: My cows? Okay, why why your cous cave here?
17:11
Speaker 3: This is my leg but this is my I was
17:13
giving it by God.
17:18
Speaker 8: This is my house. This is that's your.
17:25
Speaker 4: Crazy.
17:26
Speaker 8: You wish to go to funk, Let's go where, Let's
17:29
go right now? What you want what you want. I
17:32
want to dance to man, dance with me. You look
17:36
I'm not your picture. Look sweet, my pitch and you
17:39
look sweet. You know you looks so fresh, so sweet.
17:46
Be happy to sit with you, you cads. So you
17:51
know that the man that the man, oh, honestly save
17:58
some id your name, and then.
18:05
Speaker 6: I don't know, I mean, I personally find that video
18:08
deeply disturbing. Stage man, of course with the prison where
18:12
the soldiers were accused of raping a Palestinians'.
18:18
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, thank you very much for that. Vanessa Charles,
18:22
let's come to you and the litterust on biosecuritly and
18:26
bird flow perhaps.
18:29
Speaker 9: Thanks Mike, good afternoon.
18:30
Speaker 7: All.
18:31
Speaker 9: Yes, I start with a slide on bird flu, not
18:33
to suggest that there is a sort of present threst
18:36
or that there's anything being suggested quite at this minute
18:40
by the government, but nonetheless they are putting out guidance
18:43
and particularly the text suggesting that we have zero bird
18:47
for you. Remember during the confected COVID pandemic that New
18:51
Zealand in particular pursued what was called a sort of
18:55
strategy of zero COVID. And I was just really asking
18:58
the questions whether the ukme MY be doing the same
19:00
thing with bird flu. They say they've self declared zonal
19:04
freedom from highly pathogenic avian influenza and that this is
19:08
in line with the World Organization for Animal Health. So well,
19:11
just have a look at them. You'll see a tweet
19:14
on the left with a statement on the recent surge
19:18
it's being called a surge in impox virus, which is
19:22
the abbreviated word for monkey pox with a silent k occasionally.
19:27
But on the right they say that they've had a
19:29
century of improving animal health and welfare. I would say
19:32
that's a highly questionable statement, but specifically here they say
19:36
impox is a zoonotic virus that can spread from animals
19:40
to humans, posing risks to both human and animal health.
19:45
They have not robust scientific evidence to back that statement up,
19:49
but nonetheless it hangs out there. I should also point
19:52
out that the Bill and Melinda Gates have in their
19:55
pocket the World Organization for Animal Health, like a lot
19:58
of other organizations. If the text too small, then this
20:01
shows that there have been annual grants, well more or
20:03
less annual grant made to the Organization for in the
20:07
region of one and a half million dollars a throw.
20:11
And then also we come onto the Gavy Alliance, with
20:13
which Bill Milindigates Foundation and Bill Gates specifically is heavily involved.
20:17
And they've given a statement on the impox emergency in
20:20
Africa in which they state that they're deeply concerned about
20:24
the escalating emergency on the African continent, and they talk
20:28
about welcoming the recently announced measures by our partners at
20:32
the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Africa CDC
20:36
and the World Health Organization WHO. And we've talked about
20:39
the private funding of the WHO by Bill Gates. And
20:44
it's no great surprise therefore to see that the Africa
20:47
cc sorry CDC has as a partner the Bill and
20:51
Milindigates Foundation as well as the American CDC and of
20:55
course Chatham House. This is just in listed alphabetically. It's
20:58
just interesting to see those three line end up side
21:00
by side. So really, what we have here is not
21:04
necessarily the requirement for a pandemic as such to be
21:09
put out in order to control. But we only really
21:14
need the specter of a pandemic, or the specter of
21:19
the idea that communicable disease can move not just between
21:23
animals but from animals to humans, and the government here
21:27
are starting to put out much more messaging on this.
21:30
First of all, we've got farmers weekly complaining about airtime
21:33
that Brian May, the Queen Guitarist, has been given to
21:38
talk about whether or not badgers communicate TB to cattle.
21:42
But of course the main thrust of the debate is
21:45
that TB spreads from creature to creature, whether that be
21:50
badger to cattle, or cattle to cattle, or even deer.
21:53
But the idea is that we are never allowed to
21:56
consider the living conditions or the environment of the We
22:00
are forced into believing that this is done by method
22:04
of spread in the form of communicable disease. We've then
22:07
got sort of a newer one really, which is pest
22:11
de pet minor PPR, and that's being targeted to well,
22:16
sort of at sheep and goats. And then we've got
22:19
blue tongue, which I spoke about earlier in the year,
22:21
and we had the sort of slightly ludicrous weather forecasting
22:24
prognosis that midges were being blown across the channel subject
22:29
of wind conditions. Of course, there's no account taken of
22:31
the terribly damp weather and in fact whether there was
22:34
any evidence for midges to be involved in the first place.
22:36
And then we've got afrighan swine fever. Now, as I say,
22:41
the interesting thing here is not just to consider the
22:45
the animals but really the humans. So the biosecurity stage
22:48
is what I'm titling this because they talk about making
22:51
records of movements not just of live pigs, but dead
22:54
stock and people including staff, and this is going to
22:57
be requested by APHA, themal Plant and Health Agency. And
23:03
this basically all comes from the updated Health and Welfare
23:07
Privacy Notice recently updated just last week, within which there
23:13
is a lot of text about data being collected for
23:17
well all sorts of uses. But they say data used
23:20
by APHA is usually obtained directly from the data subjects,
23:24
which would be US occasionally though where necessary under the
23:27
relevant animal health and welfare legislation, and for disease surveillance
23:31
and control data is referred from other bodies working closely
23:35
with APHA. They give a couple of examples, but of
23:38
course that really could mean anyone that they choose. They
23:42
go on to say that they use the data to
23:43
safeguard animal and health welfare well, of course, by suggesting
23:48
that these communicable diseases can pass from animal to animal
23:51
and onto humans. They say that they'd be protecting human
23:54
health where relevant brackets zoooses, and further they go and
23:58
say uphold and comply with animal health and welfare legislation.
24:03
So of course this is all backed by legislation, effectively
24:07
strong arming people into a situation where they have very
24:10
little room for maneuver. I've entitled this misinformation because they
24:14
go on to make the rather ludicrous claim that they
24:17
will not allow any unwarranted breach of confidentiality and will
24:21
not act in contravention of our obligations. Their obligations they
24:25
mean under UK data protection legislation. Well, there's absolutely no
24:29
way they can guarantee that there's going to be that
24:31
there's not going to be a breach of confidentiality. This
24:35
has been a theme that we've discussed many many times
24:38
on UK column. But nonetheless this should be seen as
24:42
not just an intelligence gathering exercise, but one of surveillance
24:46
and control that's being dressed up to look like concern
24:50
for animal welfare, which of course it isn't. And this
24:55
moves us on to the measures that are coming in
24:58
in Scotland September and then in England and Wales in October,
25:05
which is to enforce everybody to register all birds that
25:10
they keep. And as somebody called cat Lives Matter said
25:13
on Twitter, who is going to police it? Good luck?
25:16
Which is probably a pithy and to the mark comment
25:20
to make. But this is the This is the registration
25:24
of all birds. Previously the limit was fifty that's now
25:29
going down to one. And the point to make here
25:31
is this is absolutely inflagrant disregard of the consultation who
25:36
was conducted, which the overwhelming majority seventy five percent of
25:39
respondents of which there were a large number, said that
25:42
the measures absolutely did not need to be changed. So
25:45
of course this is the direction that we're going in.
25:47
And I would argue that this is a form of intimidation.
25:50
They're saying here that you must register by the first
25:52
of October. This is England and Wales, as I say,
25:54
September for Scotland, this includes any birds you keep as
25:57
pets and you're breaking the law if you do not register.
26:00
So with terrorism in mind, and the you know something
26:04
I've spoken about increasingly recently, which is that the government
26:08
really are falling into the definition of terrorism by attempting
26:12
to intimidate a section of the population for ideological or
26:16
political ends. But they were just to close off here
26:20
they're talking about the contacts and update if there's an
26:24
outbreak in your area, and that you'll help prevent the
26:27
spread of disease and protect all cat birds. So effectively
26:30
just leaving you with a taste in your mouth that
26:31
actually you should be looking at your neighbors very much
26:34
exactly the same playbook from the COVID era, considering sneaking
26:38
on those around you, and you know, all together creating
26:41
a sense of surveillance, control, monitoring, and indeed, you know,
26:47
the sense of fear.
26:49

27:48
The interview that Charles did with Joel Saladin is up
27:52
on the website at the moment. That's called let the
27:55
Animals do the work. We'll talk a little bit more
27:57
about this extra no diet. Some names for the nineteenth
28:02
of October, so aside from us at the UK Column team,
28:05
Pierce Robinson, David Miller, Peter Ford, Bob Moran, Amed Malik, Katie, Joe,
28:09
Murphin Claire, Willis Harrison otherwise known will at least contributes
28:13
to the lawyers for Light Telegram Channel and so on.
28:17
These will all be there on the day. A couple
28:20
more names to be announced in the coming days. That's
28:24
going to be a very interesting event, so please get
28:27
to it. If you possibly can. And on September the eighth,
28:31
from six to ten pm, we're hosting a symposium on
28:33
behalf of International Center for nine to eleven Justice on
28:37
Aviation Impossibilities. So this is as close to the anniversary
28:41
of nine to eleven as we can get, and this
28:45
is going to be looking at deconstructing the official story
28:47
of the nine to eleven hijackings and the air defense failures.
28:52
Reminder that Brian and I will be speaking at the
28:54
Heritage Party conference on the twentieth of September. Details at
28:58
Heritage Party dot organ it's available for that. And finally,
29:02
another reminder of the Died Suddenly exhibition which is being
29:06
hosted by Jake Fern and his email address is on
29:09
screen at the moment if you would like more details.
29:11
The exact location to be determined. That's in November. So
29:16
let's come back onto the censorship issue again and bring
29:21
Pavel Durave on screen once again, and let's just give
29:26
a quick update on this. The French authorities were apparently
29:31
embarrassed about the amount of for all this caused until
29:34
they released a press release. Will show you that in
29:37
a second, but this is basically what it said they
29:40
are accusing of being complicit in storing and distributing child
29:44
sexual abuse material, facilitating drug trafficking, and facilitating organized fraud
29:50
and other illegal transactions. Their main complaint, or one of
29:54
their main complaints, seems to be the Telegram refuses to
29:56
cooperate with law enforcement when they file formal request for
30:00
information or documents. They say that Telegram's cryptographic features haven't
30:05
been formally certified by the French authorities, and this is
30:07
something that of course recent legislation requires platforms to do in.
30:13
Speaker 1: The UK as well.
30:14
Speaker 2: They've got to explain to the government the nature of
30:17
their cryptographic features, and if they've got to add new features,
30:19
they've got to ask.
30:20
Speaker 1: For permission from the government to create those.
30:25
Speaker 2: Has taken part is the next allegation in a quotes
30:29
criminal association with a view to commit a crime or
30:32
offense punishable by five or more years of imprisonment, as
30:35
well as money laundering. So this was a bit of
30:41
information that I hadn't preceded. That he holds French citizenship,
30:45
which is possibly why he is experiencing this problem at
30:49
the moment. But the other issue is a Telegram, as
30:52
we mentioned on Monday's program is mostly unencrypted, and so
30:56
the French authorities are trying to say, well, you know,
31:00
the content on Telegram is in clear text. Therefore there's
31:03
no reason for you not to comply with our requests
31:05
for information. And of course he's effectively created this problem
31:11
for himself by choosing the architecture that he has, and
31:13
I will explain why he's chosen that architecture in a second.
31:17
So they are saying that Telegram is in a position
31:20
to give the French government what they ask for, but
31:23
Telegram has been refusing to do that. On principle, all
31:27
other platforms comply with the limit to the limit imposed
31:31
by their architecture. So whenever other platforms, like even signal
31:35
receiver requests from governments around the world for information, they
31:39
give that information. But because they are fully and encrypted,
31:43
of course there's an extreme limit to what they can
31:46
actually give, but they can still comply with the demands.
31:50
The reason that Telegram does things of the way that
31:54
they do is that their architecture supports communications with huge groups.
31:58
This is why Telegram is used by campaign organizations and
32:01
people that are organizing various protests and so on. This
32:07
is the advantage of it. So this is the actual
32:10
press release. We'll have the link to that in the
32:13
show notes. If you read French you can see the
32:15
full details. And I just remind everybody that you know,
32:19
with respect to and to end encryption itself, the National
32:24
Crime Agency in the UK, as well as the European
32:28
police chiefs continue to be extremely concerned about it. So
32:31
while they're busy arresting people because they have a platform
32:34
which doesn't by default impost and encryption, they are complaining
32:39
about everybody else doing the same.
32:42
Speaker 1: Now.
32:42
Speaker 2: I mentioned a few minutes ago, of course, that the
32:44
UK column and Vanessa and others apparently kicked off Facebook.
32:48
At the moment, well, Zuckerberg was making a comment to
32:54
the to Congress in a letter there or two go
32:58
where he said this before the internet anonymous communication. Sorry
33:03
that is not the correct.
33:06
Speaker 1: Quote. Well, basically, he was saying.
33:08
Speaker 2: That that the US government had effectively asked him to
33:15
censor certain COVID nineteen content and that he regretted that.
33:20
Now this is completely hypocritical because as we have recently discovered,
33:25
they are continuing to censor various platforms, including ourselves. And
33:31
so you know, his complaints about the US government attempting
33:36
to attempting to impose censorship regimes is really hypocritical. But
33:44
we'll talk a bit more about that on Friday, Charles,
33:47
let's come back to you, and policing in the UK.
33:53
Speaker 9: Come under a great deal of scrutiny of the last
33:54
few weeks for very obvious reasons. There's been some chatter
33:58
about the sort of effect I suppose that either this
34:02
or other factors have had on police figures in particular.
34:05
So I thought we'd just go back and have a
34:06
look at the updated statistics now from the Police Workforce document,
34:10
last updated in July of this year, and really the
34:13
main thing to draw your attention to there with the
34:16
red arrow on the right, is that the number of
34:18
people joining police has dipped significantly over the past year,
34:23
and of course this is significant because the next graft
34:25
shows that the number of people leaving police has remained
34:29
very high. So just a few more points to draw
34:32
out of that, which is that the overall rate of
34:34
leaving is just over six percent, the voluntary resignation rate
34:38
is at three and a half percent, which is a
34:40
record high. Forty three percent of people leaving have had
34:44
less than five years of service in police, which is
34:47
significant and they say that ninety point four percent are
34:51
in frontline roles. Now, I would just make a clarification
34:54
there that frontline does include, or rather I think that
34:57
gives people the impression that those are police on the
35:00
street in uniform. That is absolutely not the case. Frontline
35:03
includes an awful lot of death bound roles that are
35:07
within the overall capacity of police to investigate. So, for example,
35:10
the staffing of a custody block or indeed a CID
35:14
or you know, sexual offensive team or something like that
35:16
would still be considered frontline. But they are certainly not
35:19
going to be out on the streets unless there is
35:22
an absolute crisis. Four point eight decrease in local policing
35:27
again significant, But of course here we go two record
35:30
highs here thirty five and a half percent female and
35:33
eight point four percent ethnic minority. They'd describe as being
35:37
record high figures. But what I want to come on
35:39
to is that four percent long term absent, which again
35:44
is a very high number. And so the question is
35:47
really what sort of person are we recruiting into police now,
35:51
or at least are hanging around for any great degree
35:54
of time. I've got a short video just to ask
35:57
that question. A little bit further as to the type
35:59
of person and that we should expect to be policed by.
36:04
Speaker 1: This is your warning if you continue.
36:20
Speaker 4: Zero right now.
36:44
Speaker 9: That might seem like a rather silly example of modern
36:47
day policing, and it might not have been audible, but
36:48
essentially that policeman had told the lady with the horn
36:51
that if she did it again, she would be arrested,
36:53
and of course she did it again and again, and
36:56
she was indeed arrested. Now that's ludicrous for several reasons,
37:00
not least because either the threshold for an arrest has
37:04
been met or it hasn't, So you can't excuse this
37:07
by just saying that he's using exercising discretion. Further, on
37:12
a noise level, I mean you couldn't hear any speech
37:14
just because there was somebody using a chainsaw on the background.
37:16
To suggest that a small plastic horn could in some
37:20
way be sort of overpowering a chainsaw is of course ludicrous.
37:24
But specifically he arrested her under section forur A of
37:26
the Public Order at nineteen eighty six, which is to
37:29
cause harassment, alarm and anxiety with intent. So we will
37:35
just look at the specific text from the CPS website
37:39
explaining how this works, and they say that it's important
37:43
to prove that the defendant's intent is not enough. So, well,
37:46
it was the lady with the horn actually trying to
37:48
call harassment, alarm or distress. There must also be evidence
37:51
of somebody, which might not be the person targeted, suffering
37:56
actual harassment, alarm or distress as a result. And they
37:59
go on to say this evidence could come from that
38:01
person themselves, or it could come from another witness who
38:04
can say that the person displayed signs of harassment, alarm
38:07
or distress. As the effect on the victim is an
38:10
essential element of the offense, prosecutors should not presume that
38:14
it had had the effect, but should seek evidence which
38:17
is capable of proving it. Now, I don't want to
38:21
overanalyze a thirty second clip of a ridiculous incident on
38:26
the Internet, but it does speak volumes that that policeman
38:30
quite clearly was assuming himself to be the victim of
38:35
such intent. So, first of all, was the intent there?
38:38
And really, as somebody that deals with this stuff day
38:41
in day out, why on earth would something like that
38:45
be considered an offense? How could that possibly be the case.
38:50
So we've got that at one end of the spectrum,
38:52
and then of course we go further on and we
38:54
look at the other sorts of things that are being
38:56
brought out at Minute Home Office just announcing that there's no,
39:00
it's not really an amnesty. I would say that this
39:02
is actually an intelligence gathering exercise. They are changing the
39:05
law around what are called zombie knives, which are effectively
39:08
eight inch blades with sort of ancillary bits on them,
39:13
essentially horrid bits of kit machetes as well, And what
39:17
they're saying is that these things can be handed in
39:19
from between the twenty sixth of August and the twenty
39:21
fourth of September twenty third of September. But of course
39:25
in order to do that and to receive compensation, you
39:28
have to fill in forms. Therefore you are in effect
39:31
identifying and incriminating yourself if you choose that path. So
39:35
that's one thing to look at. The other thing I
39:37
just want to have very quick look at is a
39:38
video from Enfield last night, s the please.
40:02
Speaker 4: Give me my phone, give me my phone, give let
40:05
me call the police. He's dead. He's running.
40:08
Speaker 10: He's running for the police, for the police, for the police,
40:13
for the police, and it's a according.
40:18
Speaker 4: Who he went out there, you're gone for the police.
40:29
Speaker 9: Now, there are two reasons for showing that. First of all,
40:32
one is to illustrate the sense of lawlessness. If you
40:35
couldn't see that clip and it was indistinct, but there
40:38
were gunshots being fired on a residential street late at night,
40:41
being filmed by a member of the public. Now, the
40:44
issue with the filming of the member of the public
40:45
is that at times during her commentary she said things
40:49
that were factually inaccurate, such as he's dead. Now the
40:52
reason I high like that is that under the provisions
40:55
of the Online Safety Act twenty twenty three, we've seen
40:58
that people who put these things up on social media
41:01
can become targets of this legislation and the way in
41:04
which it's being manipulated is absolutely reprehensible. So this is just,
41:09
you know, something to be aware of. And I spoke
41:11
a couple of weeks ago back David Clues of the
41:14
un n Unity News Network, who I have recorded conversation with,
41:17
and I will put that out and give further details
41:19
in due course. But really a quick sort of snapshot
41:22
summary of some of the dire sort of situations within
41:27
which police becoming embroiled and involved at the moment.
41:30
Speaker 1: Charles, Thank you, Vanessa.
41:32
Speaker 2: Let's come back to you now, and well, what's the
41:35
situation that he noticed is with respect to the Middle East.
41:39
Speaker 6: Oh, well, you know, we've got the Trump dream Team,
41:44
which I'm going to show details on right now.
41:48
Speaker 4: So we're all saved. The world is saved.
41:51
Speaker 6: So let's first of all set the scene with Trump's
41:54
campaign video or one of them that he posted on
41:58
X a couple of days ago.
42:00
Speaker 4: Let's roll this.
42:06
Speaker 5: Be.
42:07
Speaker 11: Four thousands were brutally killed, including Americans, before Iran helped
42:14
Hamas plan the attack, killing Americans, before Biden gave billions
42:21
of taxpayers money to Iran. Trump played hardball with Iran
42:27
destroyed ISIS, kept the Middle.
42:31
Speaker 1: East at peace, kept this out.
42:34
Speaker 11: Of endless wars through strength.
42:38
Speaker 12: History shows very plainly that evil only respects one thing,
42:43
unyielding strength. When I'm back in the White House, our
42:46
enemies will know if you spill a drop of American blood,
42:50
we will spill a gallon of yours.
42:53
Speaker 11: President Trump, the strength we need to make America strong again.
43:00
Speaker 12: J Trump and I approved this message.
43:06
Speaker 6: That's the message of peace from Donald Trump. So let's
43:11
just run through a little bit of the dream Team.
43:14
So Trump, we know, never had a better friend. That
43:17
was Trump speaking about Israel on numerous occasions, but this
43:20
was just one recorded instant where he tells Israel they
43:24
never had a better friend. Then, you know, a lot
43:27
is being made of the fact that Trump didn't start
43:30
any wars.
43:30
Speaker 4: But let's just clarify a few points on this. So
43:33
this is just taken.
43:34
Speaker 6: I think this was in twenty nineteen where Trump actually
43:37
flip flopped after saying that he'd never wanted to assessinate
43:41
Syria as president as Sad, which was reported in journalist
43:44
Bob woodwards twenty eighteen book Fear. He actually went on
43:50
Fox News and said that the US should have been
43:53
kill as Sad following the alleged fabricated twenty seven chemical
43:58
attack in on Unice in Syria, and also remembering, you know,
44:05
Trump introduced the Caesar Act collective punishment sanctions in Syria.
44:12
He stole the oil, he burned agricultural crops, He funded
44:17
and enabled Isis despite claiming to be fighting it, just
44:22
as every other president. He pulverized Raka and Mosul in Iraq.
44:27
So he doesn't start any wars. Remember this, He gave
44:32
seventeen billion to NATO, including security assistance funding to Ukraine.
44:38
He increased the numbers of military US military in Europe
44:44
prior to, of course, the Russian Special Military Operation.
44:50
Speaker 4: Because I tend to see all.
44:51
Speaker 6: Of these candidates as tag teams, will talk about this.
44:55
In extra he increased the drawing program and de increased
45:00
accountability for the drone program by four hundred and thirty
45:04
two percent from President Obama. So those are just, you know,
45:08
some of the fact factors that say to me that
45:11
Trump is not anti war, despite the fact he didn't
45:15
start any he certainly didn't end any and in my opinion,
45:18
he paid the way for what we're seeing now the
45:20
genocide in Palestine. So anyway, let's come on to Robert F. Kennedy,
45:25
who suspends his campaign back Trump, and let's see a
45:29
little sort of cameo video that Kennedy put out showing
45:33
why he did that.
45:37
Speaker 13: And this calamity, the chronic disease crisis was one of
45:41
the primary reasons for my running for president, along with
45:45
ending the censorship in the Ukraine War. It's the reason
45:48
I've made the heart wrenching decision to suspend my campaign
45:53
and disappoint President Trump is Robert F.
45:57
Speaker 12: Kennedy Junior.
46:26
Speaker 6: I would love to prees frame that an extra and
46:29
have a look at that handshake, because it looks extremely
46:31
dodgy to me. But anyway, you know, Kennedy's slogan is
46:37
make America healthy again for children. But apparently he's only
46:41
there to save American children while he denies genocide of
46:44
Palestinian children by the zion identity. And here, of course,
46:49
he's being absolutely iconized by Rabbi Schmooley, one of the
46:55
most honestly repellent representatives of the Zionist movement in the US,
47:01
talking about one of Kennedy's videos in defense of Israel.
47:05
Of course, he's made money, and we've showcased many of
47:08
those on UK column News.
47:10
Speaker 4: But then let's have a look.
47:11
Speaker 6: At what Kennedy tweeted out in the last couple of days.
47:16
Wonder Woman just joined the Justice League. So now this
47:21
unholy alliance with Trump and his little followers is being
47:24
called the Justice League by Robert Kennedy.
47:27
Speaker 4: And who's joined them, Telsea Gabard.
47:29
Speaker 6: Let's have a look at Telsea. I think it was
47:32
about two months after the genocide began, or rather continued
47:36
from nineteen forty eight. But that's another issue. And let's
47:40
see what she was saying about the March for Israel.
47:44
Speaker 14: I got to tell you there's a very loud absence though,
47:48
in knowing that President Biden and Vice President Harris are
47:51
literally just down the street as people are traveling here
47:53
from all over the country, Yet they don't feel it's
47:55
important enough to come and stand with our fellow Americans
47:59
to send this strong and resounding message at a time
48:02
when anti Semitic attacks around the world are at their height,
48:05
that we will not allow it to continue, that we
48:09
stand with Israel and the Jewish people. They are a
48:11
reminder of why I left the Democratic Party. It's a
48:14
party that's become led by and rife with Islamist apologists,
48:17
people who are more afraid of being called bigoted islamophobes
48:21
than they are about actually showing up for the Jewish people,
48:24
for America, for peace and security and freedom.
48:30
Speaker 6: One might ask for who's peace, security and freedom. And
48:33
of course they're talking about ending censorship. And yet Trump
48:37
has made it quite clear that he's going to quell
48:39
the protest, the anti genocide protests, and deport what he
48:43
describes as for homaceraticals. Of course, we've just had British
48:46
journalists Richard Medos arrested under the terrorist AC Section twelve,
48:52
which is basically the promotion of prescribed terrorist affectives. The
48:57
National Students for Justice in Palestine recently put up on X.
49:00
The Hillel Foundation and the Secure Community Network just publicly
49:05
launched their new campaign, Operation Secure Our Campuses, Operation Secure
49:10
Our Campuses. Does that remind you or anything? Does that
49:13
remind you of some of the Israeli campaigns against the
49:15
Palestinians at over fifty campuses. In preparation, the SCN held
49:20
a roundtable with representatives from law enforcement agencies, including the FBI,
49:26
to generate a list of pen security recommendations for universities
49:30
to twelve pro Palestine protests in the fall. So remember,
49:33
this is the party that is against censorship, obviously, not
49:37
against the censorship at those things that.
49:40
Speaker 4: Threaten Israel Kennedy.
49:44
Speaker 6: During his presidential campaign, he asked the head of the
49:47
Zionist Organization of America, one of the largest Dionist movements
49:51
organizations and its leader more clined, to be.
49:55
Speaker 4: His advisor on Israel APAC tracker on X.
50:00
Speaker 6: Trump has so far received more than one million, Chelsea
50:04
Gabbard thirty nine, nine hundred and fifty from APAK. And
50:09
then if we look at the funding of Miriam Aibelson,
50:13
again embedded in the Zionist complex in the United States,
50:18
will do whatever it takes to help Trump win with
50:21
one hundred million dollars. On the left, you've got Telsea
50:24
Gabbard with Miriam Adelson and with Rabbi Schmooley. And if
50:29
we look at the next two photos, you've got Robert
50:32
Kennedy and his wife I think it's his wife or
50:35
it's Rabbi Schmouley's wife, probably actually with Rabbi Schmooley, and
50:39
Trump putting a medal on Miriam Aidelson for very obvious reasons.
50:44
And when I say that American politics, Uni party politics
50:48
has become cartoon land, this is trending on X. So
50:54
you've got Telsea Gabbard, jd Vance, Trump, Kennedy, Elon musk
50:59
All arch ZIONUS supporters. And in the background you've got
51:03
vivek Ramaswami, an American Indian descent biotech entrepreneur who also
51:10
had his own presidential campaign until January when he left
51:14
that to endorse Trump. So you have team unity, which
51:18
in my opinion, is going to take us ever closer
51:23
to global armageddon.
51:26
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, thank you, Vanessa Charles, let's come back to you.
51:29
And a terrible coincidence.
51:33
Speaker 9: Yes, thanks Mike. An extension of a segment from last
51:36
week in which I spoke about the apparent but extremely
51:40
unlikely coincidence between the deaths of then Stephen Chamberlain, formerly
51:45
of Autonomy and Mike Lynch of Autonomy but subsequently involved
51:52
with dark Trace. Now in the interim, sadly, the news
51:56
has emerged that Lynch, Bloomer and Morvilla, who were associated
52:00
with the banking and legal side of the campaign in
52:04
the trial that was concerning the sale of Autonomy to
52:11
Hewlett Packard and suggestion that there'd been an inflation of
52:14
the price. And I suggested last week there would be
52:16
more to this story to come out, and indeed that
52:20
does very much seem to be the case, but most
52:22
particularly to do with dark Trace, the AI cybersecurity company,
52:27
because an actual fact, since April of this year, there's
52:30
been an attempt to purchase that company, make a cash
52:34
offer here we see from Tomo Bravo, an investment company.
52:38
But again as with these things, there's much more to
52:41
it than meets the eye. We see here that it's
52:44
announced by the Computing channel that the offer is for
52:49
five point three billion. The significant detail about this, of course,
52:53
is that the cash acquisition equates to around six pounds
52:56
twenty per share and a forty four percent premium on
52:59
the company's average stock price over the past three months.
53:02
It was listed on the London Stock Exchange at two
53:05
pounds fifty per share in twenty twenty one. So we
53:09
just see here the sort of legal and administrative side
53:13
of it. And as part of this acquisition, effectively it
53:18
would be not via Toma Bravo, but they would be
53:21
creating a separate entity called Luke Bidco. And just to
53:26
illustrate the complexity of the situation. And although this might
53:31
be in effect above board and procedural, and certainly these entities,
53:37
particularly Bidco and Midco are part of this process, but
53:41
nonetheless what I've done here is drawn from company's house
53:44
to show that Luke Bidco is in fact controlled by
53:48
Midco three, which is controlled by Midco two, which is
53:51
controlled by Midco one. And then underneath there we see
53:54
that there's that Leah Finco also controlled by Luke Midco three. Now,
53:58
this is an extremely comple gated web of in effect
54:01
holding companies and the reason I pointed out is that
54:04
they are all they all come under the sole directorship
54:08
of this chap, Sasha May who is a board member
54:11
of sale Point, Highland and Sophos, and there isn't time
54:15
to talk about those today, but they are all sort
54:18
of inveigled in some way with some of the architecture
54:21
of the security systems that we use in this country,
54:24
most particularly the NHS with Sophos, so it definitely is
54:27
worth mentioning. The other side of this is that we
54:30
see that FGS Global Works have been involved with the
54:35
deal between tom O, Bravo and dark Trace. Now that's
54:39
significant because the global co chair at FGS Global is
54:43
none other than Rowland Rudd, the brother of the former
54:47
Home Secretary Amber Rudd. And we look back and we
54:49
see that in twenty twenty Amber Rudd was appointed to
54:53
dark TRACE's advisory board. So it really is wheels within wheels.
54:59
And what I want to do now is just share
55:01
a brief clip of Mike Lynch, the now deceased former
55:05
chief executive of Autonomy and Invoke Capital, talking about the
55:09
use of technology as a strategic asset and whether the
55:13
United Kingdom government should be considering as such in light
55:16
of the situation in Russia and Ukraine.
55:21
Speaker 10: The second thing, which is absolutely fascinating is that things
55:26
like connectivity have become weaponized. This is not about a
55:32
sort of war of attrition where people sort of pummeling
55:35
tanks from each side. It's about cognition, and so the
55:39
skill set and the approach to dealing with threats completely different.
55:46
And when you follow that all back, you end up
55:48
with understanding that there are now strategic assets, and those
55:52
strategic assets, if you don't have them, you are incredibly exposed.
55:57
So I've just talked about connectivity. The ability on the
56:01
Ukrainian battlefield to have independent connectivity, which is happening for
56:05
statellite technology, is actually what's driving a lot of what's
56:09
going on.
56:14
Speaker 9: So we've spoken a lot of the effective sort of
56:17
merge between corporations and defense national or state defense entities,
56:23
and that seems to exactly what Lynch is talking about,
56:25
which bears relation to the starlink and the sort of
56:28
space connection that I'd been talking about previously with regard
56:32
to Elon Musk. Now the other thing is just to
56:34
have a look at how the value of dark Traces
56:37
is rated by Fitch, the ratings agency, and we see
56:42
here that they assign dark Trace as a B rating,
56:46
which is just interesting in light the forty four percent premium.
56:49
B they qualify as being highly speculative, and they say
56:52
that material default risk is present and that it's vulnerable
56:57
to deterioration in the business and economic environment. Mike last
57:01
week spoke about the symbiotic relationship between cybersecurity and cyber
57:06
crime and deed the intelligence services, and I think it
57:08
was a very good phrase to use. So here from
57:12
that same piece from Fitch, we see that they say
57:15
that there's a technology disruption risk. Dark Trace operates in
57:19
the cybersecurity space where threats and solutions are constantly evolving.
57:23
Technology disruptions are inherent in the industry.
57:26
Speaker 4: Now.
57:27
Speaker 9: The reason I've highlighted threats and solutions is to pose
57:30
the question are they coming from the same place and
57:34
to what degree are the intelligence services involved in all
57:37
of this? Well, to answer part of that question, we
57:39
look at Poppy Gustafson, the current chief executive on the
57:43
left here shown at the Future of Britain conference, which
57:47
of course Ben and Debbie have reported on both last
57:49
year and this year, but that's Tony Blair's pony. And
57:54
then we've got on the right the Phonder's forum showing
57:57
absolutely in plain sight Chief Executive poppyguar of some sitting
58:00
down with the Director General of GCHQ and Keith Butler.
58:04
So really the sort of the web that has been
58:08
exposed by this extraordinarily coincidental. But as I say, I
58:14
mean really beyond the pans of possibility that these deaths
58:17
should be regarded as accidental or of course that is
58:20
speculation at this point, is no evidence to support that.
58:24
But the web that is being exposed by this is
58:27
perfectly extraordinary and it is something that we will have
58:29
to continue to look at.
58:31
Speaker 2: Yes, and thank you, Charles. Let's move on continuing with AI.
58:36
I suppose in a sense because the British government has
58:39
pushed this out this morning, using AI tools to help
58:42
reduce teacher workloads. So we're going to educate our kids
58:45
with more and more AI. They're very, very excited about this.
58:49
They're saying that artificial intelligence will be better at helping
58:52
teachers mark work and plan lessons. Under a new project
58:55
announced by the UK government today is backed by four
58:58
million pounds and these are going to provide curriculum guidance
59:04
through AI, lesson plans through AI, anonymized pupil assessments through AI,
59:10
and it will all be used by AI companies to
59:13
train tools so they can generate accurate, high quality content
59:18
for those purposes.
59:20
Speaker 1: It comes as new research.
59:22
Speaker 2: Well, before we get to the new research, we'll just
59:24
push mention this because the Department for Science, Innovation and
59:27
Technology was tweeting out this morning a poll asking if
59:32
AI was able to ease the burden for them, what
59:34
do you think would save teachers time? So there's no
59:38
opportunity there to say that AI is a load of
59:40
nonsense and shouldn't be going anywhere near the classroom. That's
59:43
not an option help marketing homework, create teaching materials and
59:46
help with admin or the three options in their poll.
59:48
But I mean this new research which is from Thinks
59:53
Insight and Strategy, also from the Responsible Technology Adoption Unit
59:58
of the UK government and from the Department for Education
1:00:01
is called Responsible The Responsible Technology Adoption Unit and Department
1:00:04
of Education research on public attitudes towards the use of
1:00:08
AI and education and so they are extremely excited about this.
1:00:13
They're talking about four million pounds here, three million pounds
1:00:17
there in a partnership with the Open University, which is
1:00:21
sharing learning resources. And it follows Department of Education tests
1:00:27
which show providing generative AI models with the kind of
1:00:30
data that they're providing can increase accuracy to ninety two percent,
1:00:34
up from sixty seven percent when no targeted data was
1:00:37
provided to a large language model. So you know, this
1:00:42
is about making sure that they provide the right narrative
1:00:46
to the schools to be taught by the teachers. The
1:00:48
teachers don't really have to think anymore. I think it's incredible.
1:00:51
We'll talk about a little bit more about that extra.
1:00:54
We've got one final thing here, Charles.
1:00:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:00:58
Speaker 9: I just wanted to people really that today marks thirty
1:01:02
years took by date since the Sunday Trading Laws changed
1:01:06
or Sunday Trading Act came into effect on what was
1:01:08
then Sunday, the twenty eighth of August twenty sorry, nineteen
1:01:12
ninety four. If we just put that slide on screen
1:01:15
to have a look at that, I've got a video
1:01:16
to go into this an extra time, but also to
1:01:20
consider I'm not suggesting that it was only in nineteen
1:01:22
ninety four that the rot set in. But it's worth
1:01:25
noting that having looked at the church is supposedly ethical
1:01:29
investment policies in recent years and find that they say
1:01:32
that they don't want to have anything to do with pornography,
1:01:35
weapons and you know, sort of things that are destructive
1:01:39
to the environment. They're absolutely permitted to invest in them.
1:01:41
And of course back in nineteen ninety four one of
1:01:43
the biggest shopping centers to open was the Metro Center
1:01:46
in Gateshead, which was financed by the Church of England.
1:01:49
Speaker 1: Right, okay, thank you.
1:01:50
Speaker 2: We will talk about a bit more about that and
1:01:52
extra as well, so join us for that if you're
1:01:54
a UK column member in a couple of minutes. Otherwise,
1:01:57
join us tomorrow at one pm for Bomber and we'll
1:02:00
be back with the news on Friday at one pm
1:02:04
as usual.
1:02:05
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, We'll see you later. Bye bye,
