Latest / UK Column Radio / UK Column News Podcast 22nd April 2024
Transcript
- 0:08Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the twenty second of April twenty twenty four,
- 0:13just after one o'clock. Welcome to uk column News. I'm your host,
- 0:17Brian Irish. Delighted to be joined today by Alex Thompson talking from the
- 0:22Netherlands. We've also got Mark Anderson speaking from the United States, and we're
- 0:27very pleased to have Professor Dian Rasmusen mcaddie with us who will be speaking from
- 0:34Scotland. So quite a line up today. Also, we have no extra
- 0:40to the news today because following the news we will be playing out the Playing
- 0:45God video. We'll talk about that in our adverts, but just to give
- 0:50view as a heads up that we'll be finishing the news promptly and then following
- 0:55up with that live stream of that video. Where do we kick off with?
- 1:00I think it's got to be Ukraine and thank you to Alex for sending
- 1:04me this headline earlier this morning. So it's the Telegraph and the headline is
- 1:10Ukraine's frontline is collapsing and Britain may soon be at war. So we comment
- 1:17by Hamish to Breton Gordon. He says, unless we all get a grip,
- 1:21we will not only be going to polling stations, but to the enlistment
- 1:25centers. And his main point is that while we're all fixed on Tehran and
- 1:30Tel Aviv, Ukraine's front lines are quote showing clear signs of crumbling, and
- 1:34there's the real possibility they could crumble even if the Western weapons and munitions get
- 1:42to them. He says. The toll on both sides has been immense,
- 1:46and if we just put up the extra little paragraph there, our stocks of
- 1:49ammunition and especially precision missiles are thought to be perilously low. It's clear we
- 1:55only have a handle of tanks and even less people to crew them. Dire
- 2:00straits in the UK and the West and the European Union, because of course
- 2:04we don't have the weapons and the munitions, we cannot produce them. We
- 2:10have run out of stocks, and the result is that on the battlefield,
- 2:15Ukraine is indeed crumbling and the Russians are moving forward. This has been happening,
- 2:22of course, for a long time, but Western propaganda has meant that
- 2:25the truth about the failure of Ukraine on the battlefield has been hidden until it's
- 2:31impossible to hide it anymore. We just play this little clip here, I'm
- 2:37going to talk over it, but we're going to be seeing the massive Russian
- 2:40pummeling of Ukrainian defenses in Ukraine. This is what they're doing, largely with
- 2:47very large air dropped bombs. This is cluster munitions arriving on the Ukrainian positions.
- 2:54I think that is an ammunition small ammunition dump exploding there. But this
- 3:00is the massacre of the Ukrainian forces. And of course behind the front line
- 3:06we've got very big attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Western wonder weapons
- 3:12Abraham's tanks are taken off the battlefield and this is so sad to see.
- 3:17Of course, the forcible recruitment of yet more men who will almost certainly be
- 3:24going straight onto the battlefield to die. The West uk in particulars will see
- 3:30fully involved in this horrific treatment by the Ukrainian government of its own citizens.
- 3:38I've got another little video clip here, I believe this is Russian troops moving
- 3:44through Avdivka and you can see the horrific destruction. It shows you the scale
- 3:51of the fighting. And of course something which has to be remembered is virtually
- 3:55all civilian buildings were used by the Ukrainian military as defensive points, albeit most
- 4:02of the population have already left, except the people waiting for the Russians to
- 4:08come into position to effectively rescue them. So tragedy on the battlefield. The
- 4:15US has put in more money sixty one billion, and Alex I will just
- 4:19bring you in very briefly, because you had some comments on that. Yes,
- 4:25Brian, the big shot here seems to be that the French troops are
- 4:30now on the ground in Odessa. I don't know whether you'll be alluding to
- 4:32that later in your segment, but that does seem to be being confirmed by
- 4:35reputable channels. And we shouldn't forget that this happens against the background of the
- 4:41congressional allocation from the US of sixty one billion dollars to Ukraine. And I
- 4:46would like to ask for anyone who has been able to pour over the deep
- 4:51the small print of that congressional allocation to confirm a report that's reached me that
- 4:56three hundred million dollars of that US taxpayers money that's been sent to Ukraine under
- 5:00the name of border security or some such is specifically to ensure that Ukrainians,
- 5:05young men, perhaps soon young women and middle aged people will not be able
- 5:10to cross the border, largely into Poland to escape the draft. This comes
- 5:13shortly after Senator Lindy Graham of South Carolina made a spectacle of himself visiting Kiev
- 5:19and saying it's unacceptable that your under twenty sevens are not being sent to die.
- 5:24I demand that they be drafted immediately. This is tragic. Staff will
- 5:29report more of this in becoming UK column news programs. But this is something
- 5:34that caught my attention I regarded as very sinister. We've now got Conservative Friends
- 5:40of Ukraine dedicated to strengthening political, security, cultural and commercial relationship relations between
- 5:47the United Kingdom and Ukraine, as well as between the Conservative Party and the
- 5:51quote growing Ukrainian community in Britain. And if we have a look in the
- 5:57main text alongside, i'd repeat at the comments about strengthening relations. We get
- 6:04some information that it was founded in twenty twenty two by the right Honorable Robert
- 6:10Jenrik And here we've got the right honorable It's very difficult for me to say
- 6:15that. Boris Johnson, who is president of Conservative Friends of Ukraine. Here's
- 6:21a picture of some of the team. In forthcoming UK column news editions,
- 6:27I'll be talking more about the chief executive, Maria tim and Fienko. But
- 6:31the key issue here is that we've also got very strange individuals in the background.
- 6:36A news flash which is up on the website itself talks about the President,
- 6:44Boris Johnson and renowned French philosopher filmmaker Bernard Henry Levy working together to support
- 6:51both Israel and Ukraine. If we raise the key points that need raising about
- 6:57this organization, let's have a look at those questions on screen. We can
- 7:00see that we need to ask a number of things, who exactly are the
- 7:05people involved with this organization, what is their real agenda which comes first the
- 7:12interests of Ukraine or UK And also is it acceptable that Ukrainian refugees in UK
- 7:18are being given this exclusive power for direct influence and involvement in high level UK
- 7:24politics, And of course they're using taxpayers money. Who is funding this organization
- 7:30and how much has been received? And let's just look at Boris Johnson to
- 7:36understand the quality of the president to this organization. Because if Ukraine fools,
- 7:43it will be a catastrophe for the West. It will be end a Western
- 7:47egeminy and we will have no one to blame but ourselves, hundreds of thousands
- 7:58of Men, Ukrainians and Russians being slaughtered as a result of the efforts Boris
- 8:01Johnson, of course to stall the peace process. And this is the state
- 8:07of the man. We should be very concerned here in UK that he still
- 8:11has power and influence. Alex, Let's bring you in because I think you've
- 8:15got some comments about MPs and replies Crane is but Johnny come lately compared with
- 8:24the original and best, the Conservative Friends of Israel and Labor friends of Israel.
- 8:28And before we leave Ukraine, I should say it's entirely disingenuous of Conservative
- 8:33Friends of Ukraine to call Ben Henri Levy a philosophizing filmmaker. He's been running
- 8:37French foreign policy for forty five years, despite many changes of government from left
- 8:43wing to right wing, and everyone in France knows that. But let's go
- 8:46on to Christian Wakeford, the Member of Parliament for Bury north of Manchester,
- 8:52very south. There was a debate in February which Justin Walker, a friend
- 8:56of UK column whom we've interviewed several times, picked up on. It was
- 9:00on the Monday the nineteenth of February. Mister Wakeford said the following, I
- 9:03won't read it all out, but he said, when we see a banner
- 9:07saying Zionists not welcome, we know what it means. It means Jews not
- 9:11welcome. Let us call it out for what it is. Anti Sionism is
- 9:16antisemitism. That goes further even than the IHRA definition on antisemitism, which is
- 9:22much contested. Justin Walker picked up on this and again, I won't read
- 9:26it all, but you can freeze the screen. And his point is because
- 9:30he's an erudite man, particularly in military history. Is Justin Walker he said,
- 9:35I have a personal interest in what you're saying here because he's just found
- 9:39out about Folker Bernardotta, the Swede who was assassinated by Zionists terrorists. There's
- 9:43no two way about it in nineteen forty eight, specifically because he was calling
- 9:48for a two state solution with Palestinians and Israelis, as they would become living
- 9:52in a single, peaceful settlement. And he says that his personal interest is
- 10:00that his father, Justin Walker's father was a Royal Marine commando officer who witnessed
- 10:05horrible things being done too with Palestinians by the Irgun and so he says he
- 10:09was truly shocked to read that folk Bernadotta was murdered by a halo bullets for
- 10:13Zionists, precisely for aiming for a two state solution. This was an email
- 10:18sent to Christian Wakeford, member for Bury South, on the twenty first of
- 10:22March. Then he says, I've got a couple of questions for you.
- 10:26What's the difference between what happened in nineteen forty eight and the Hamas murders,
- 10:31their big point being in nineteen forty eight it was Zionist terrorism. Secondly,
- 10:35do you stand by your statement that attacking Zionism is anti Semitic? And thirdly,
- 10:41since the two state solution has now collapsed in twenty twenty four, will
- 10:43you support a campaign that seeks to establish Judeo Palestine, which Justin understands to
- 10:48be a proper respect for the Balfour Declaration. He's followed that up because mister
- 10:54Wakeford has in his silence insinuated the usual parliamentary protocol. Go away, you're
- 11:00not my constituents, you don't live in the geographical area that elected me.
- 11:03And again, without reading at all, Justin wasn't taking this lying down.
- 11:07He said that his late grandfather received the rip's response from Winston Churchill in nineteen
- 11:11thirty six on a matter of national importance, and he was certainly not Churchill's
- 11:16geographical constituents. So he says, please, mister Wakeford, do not hide
- 11:20behind this ridiculous so called protocol that you can't enter into correspondence with somebody outside
- 11:24your correspondent, with you outside your constituency. Hansan has been falsified by this
- 11:30statement being allowed to lie, so we need to have it corrected. He's
- 11:33now up to his fourth reply, that fourth demand for a reply. You
- 11:39stated categorically in Parliament that Tobezionist is to be anti Semitic, and he's not
- 11:43going to let that go on the record. There are many, of course
- 11:48inconsistencies in the Hansard record on statements of fact, because it's MP's licensed to
- 11:52state it. But I think that's just in his constitutionally and morally correct here
- 11:58and doing the record in Hansan favor by challenging this. Thank you very much
- 12:03for that, Alex, and of course all written in a very calm,
- 12:07reasonable way, which is the correct approach when dealing with this very sensitive issue.
- 12:13Well, let's bring in Diane. You're going to give us an update
- 12:18on what's been happening to the finefe women and particularly over the weekend. For
- 12:22me at least, it seems there's some good news. What have you got
- 12:26to tell us? Absolutely, Brian, thanks, I'm really happy to be
- 12:31here to report all this good news. First of all, if we can
- 12:33go to the phanessis Fribes group campaign for justice, which I would like to
- 12:37thank all of you for supporting, including UK Colin viewers for the last Over
- 12:43the last week we raised two seven dred and forty four pounds, which is
- 12:46incredible. Our initial target was one thousand pounds, so it's really great that
- 12:50you guys have just blown that out of the water. It's been great.
- 12:54I do have a statement to read here from Marian Reed and lyndsher And,
- 12:56who are the admins of the Survivors group. They wanted me to share with
- 13:01you today. We one hundred percent appreciate everything they meet UK column and the
- 13:05viewers have done for us. And as the saying goes, we live to
- 13:09fight another day, but because of their help we will be able to fight
- 13:13on a lot longer than another day. So massive thanks to all who donated.
- 13:16It's really great. So to go into what happened the past few weeks
- 13:22leading up to last week's committee meeting, we have here a submission from the
- 13:24petitioner just a quick review for those of you who may not be familiar with
- 13:30the story. The petition has been for the Finethew women to access Scotland's redress
- 13:35scheme and if you remember the may Or sorry, the March meeting was very
- 13:39disappointing because Shona Robinson said that they do not qualify for the Scotland's redress scheme
- 13:43because their abuse was short term. So part of the response was what they
- 13:48called a primal scream and this is posted on the Scottish government website if you'd
- 13:52like to read the whole thing, but just in part she said, with
- 13:56the Deputy Minister, please elucidate on what is an acceptable amount of abuse as
- 14:01in a long term abuse from compensatory situation versus a short term abuse and compensatory
- 14:07situation. For example, what a single rate victim in a long term care
- 14:11home be allowed redress whereas survivors in a shorter term facility and during many horrors
- 14:16over a six to eight week stay, which is what the Nazi's fibers went
- 14:20through not be It just doesn't make sense. How does the deafy first Minister
- 14:24arrive at the conclusion that short term means no redress. And so what we
- 14:30did from there was we submitted another a couple of press releases leading up to
- 14:33this. Here you can see some of the media coverage that was out on
- 14:37the seventeenth, which was the morning of the meeting, and that was just
- 14:41sort of an announcement saying there's going to be a protest, We're going to
- 14:45try to get some visibility on the case. And so now first heere,
- 14:48I would like to play a clip from the meeting from Fergus Ewing, who
- 14:52was a rogue MSP who gave up an amazing performance in the Petitions can Be
- 14:58meeting as a member. So if we could play that now base at the
- 15:03meeting where we heard from the current Deputy First Minister, I felt that the
- 15:07arguments that were being presented were insupportable, unjustifiable and inexcusable and quite impossible to
- 15:15defend on any basis frankly, and I've seen the written submission of the tenth
- 15:22of April from the petitioner. Some of which has been alluded to. I
- 15:28wanted to make two additional suggestions, which at this case are at this point
- 15:33are contingent. In other words, they may not require to be resorted to,
- 15:39but I think that they should be if necessary. First of all,
- 15:43I think your suggestion can be that we raise with John Swinney the apparent contradiction
- 15:48between the positions adopted by the two deputy first Ministers, the previous and the
- 15:54current. And the previous is an excellent one. But you know, at
- 15:58the end of the day where the second in command adopt two apparently different positions,
- 16:04well what do you do? Will you go to the boss? You
- 16:10go to the boss and say, look, your two deputies can agree with
- 16:12each other. Okay, well one was the previous deputy and not the current
- 16:17First Minister, but it was still the deputy First Minister of Scotland. And
- 16:22therefore I think we should kind of indicate that we might be minded to seek
- 16:26evidence from the First Minister if we can't get justice for the people that are
- 16:33here today and those who cannot be with us. And in addition, I
- 16:37think it would be helpful to signal a convener that if all of these things
- 16:45proved to be ineffective. Then we wouldn't be doing our job unless we go
- 16:48back to the floor of our Parliament and debate this issue there. And I
- 17:00do wish to be unkind, but I do sometimes feel like one of the
- 17:03judges and these TV programs that have to keep reminding counsel that he's not a
- 17:07witness. He's easy here. It's a big constructive So at the end there
- 17:15that was the convenient the Petition's Committee Jackson Kerlott commenting on the fact that they're
- 17:19about thirty of us, mostly Pinethe survivors in the public gallery of plotting,
- 17:23which I thought was just an interesting contrast compared to what happened in the Excess
- 17:27That's debate last week that Wie covered with Andrew Bridge and present just a bit
- 17:33different in Scotland, I guess. So what we have here next is the
- 17:36official minutes. This is just part of the minutes from the meeting with the
- 17:40formal actions that were recorded that the Committee will agree to invite we address Scotland
- 17:45to give evidence at a future meeting. It also agreed to write to John
- 17:48Swinney, MSP, who is the former Deputy First Minister who presents at apparent
- 17:53contradiction. The Law Society of Scotland and Thompson Solicitors that are working actually on
- 17:59behalf of of some of the issues around the case. It also agreed to
- 18:03add the petition to the shortlist of possible subjects for the Committee to request the
- 18:07parliamentary debate on. The reason to bring in the solicitors and the Law Society
- 18:11is to look at the redressed criteria and to see who would or would not
- 18:15be eligible and how the criterion might be amended, which is what I have
- 18:18suggested personally in my evidence. From here. We have some videos that I
- 18:23have to say are UK column exclusives because I did them myself. The first
- 18:29one we should have up here is Colin Smith, MSP, who is the
- 18:33constituent of the leader of the Finetti Group, Marion Reid, and he I
- 18:37asked him for some comments and you can hear the jubilants going on in the
- 18:40background. Those are the women having lunch next to us. Smith. Thanks
- 18:45for your parents today in the Scottish Parliament and the Petition's Committee. How did
- 18:48you feel it went today? There was really positive. I think for the
- 18:51first time the women believe that people are actually listening to the applied the Committee
- 18:56gave him a full back end made it absolutely clear that the current position of
- 18:59the government not to change the Redress screen to knowledge that for pollen abuse that
- 19:03happened, but for Nefie is not a sustainable positions. They've continued that petition,
- 19:08You've called for low action and that's a small, I think, really
- 19:11important step forward for the women. So what do you think the next steps
- 19:15will be from here? I think it'll be important for the Committee offously to
- 19:21ask Redress Scotland to come before them to highlight the contradiction that appears to exist
- 19:26between what the previous Deputy First Minister said John Swinny and what the current Deputy
- 19:30First Minister is saying as well, and tried to shine a light on that.
- 19:33It could be the Petition's Committee will behold the debate within Parliament on that
- 19:37particular issue, but if they don't, then that's certainly something that I'll bring
- 19:41forward in the future. So it will take time, which is disappointing because
- 19:47we have waited far too long already, but at least we're making a small
- 19:51step forward to try to get justice and recognition over what happened A form Nephie.
- 19:56I'll thank you so much to you in the comediant mystical Hamilton all did
- 20:00an amazing job today and I know the women are very happy because we can
- 20:03hear through the windows here, So thank you again and we'll be in touch.
- 20:11And the next clip we have here is from Alex Cole Hamilton, who
- 20:14is my constituent. I would say that Colin Smith has been with the women
- 20:18very consistently from the beginning. Alex Cole Hamilton has been helpful as well.
- 20:23He and Colin accompanied the women on a trip to for Nettie last summer and
- 20:29as he is just down the street from me, I decided to pop in
- 20:32and say hello and he agreed to come and along with Colin, they both
- 20:34spoke at the committee meetings. So here's Alex col Hamilton. So what did
- 20:41you think about how the meeting went this morning? We can hear from the
- 20:42jubilants going on in the room there. What do you think. Well,
- 20:45I've never seen anything quite like this in the Scottish Problem in the eight years
- 20:48i've been here. I've never seen the petitions committee so unanimous in support of
- 20:52a group of survivors. I've never seen them so I think concerned by the
- 20:56testimony. They hope then the Deputy First Minister who's trying to excuse away the
- 21:02government's kind of decision not to include the Fronefi survivors in the redress scheme.
- 21:07And I am very hopeful that there's a market towning point in their campaign for
- 21:11justice, because these there are thousands of women out there who were sent,
- 21:15you know, without their consent to for an Ethnie House under the guise of
- 21:19a summer holiday camp, but was in fact a residential school. That's a
- 21:23critical detail. Absolutely and and and as as such, they absolutely deserve justice,
- 21:30and they deserve to hear their have their stories heard, their victimhood recognized
- 21:36in a full and frank public apology. I don't know a stronger group of
- 21:40women. You can hear that through the door. I am honored to be
- 21:44standing with them on this journey, and we're not going to go away.
- 21:47We're not going to give up until we get justice for the Fornei survivors.
- 21:51Thank you so much, Mystical Hamilton as my constitument. I really appreciate it.
- 21:55Great to see and I have one more MSP A short comment from Foisel
- 22:03Child Harry, who was a member of the Petition's committee along with Fergus jeving
- 22:07All. Thanks very much for all of your work today, mister Chatry and
- 22:11the Petitions committee and on behalf of the ladies. So i'd like to thank
- 22:15you as well as the appointed researcher. What has led you to this point
- 22:18to work so hard for the women and advocate for the justice that they deserve.
- 22:23I think it's very important listening to everyone and the way they have been
- 22:29treated. I feel that they're not getting the clear answer and it's taking too
- 22:34long. It's time now the Deputy first Instruments to answer and tell everyone what
- 22:41she's planning to do and how you should go and move forward. And as
- 22:47my role, I will keep pushing, be pushing it. Thank you very
- 22:52much again, thank you so much for your support. And that's enough from
- 23:00politicians. Thank you again. However, now we have a clip from Marian
- 23:03Read herself, who is the Vanithe Survivors group founder and the co admin,
- 23:07and we just want to see how happy she was after the meeting. No
- 23:15justice, no peace. Absolutely. How do you think the meeting went this
- 23:18morning? I thought the meeting when I past, we're all so in a
- 23:22high, so much in the high. We'll wait a long time and when
- 23:26we've got half of the day, the support we've had and the committee around
- 23:30the day just has put everybody off here when on a total high. Now
- 23:37it had been down there for so long. Finally we're going to get somewhere,
- 23:41I think. But we will just keep fighting. We will keep coming
- 23:45back and each time our voices are the louder, and we're going to get
- 23:49there at the end of the day. I'm so happy for you. Congratulations
- 23:53boss, I'll cut that, okay, thanks Marian. So from here,
- 24:02we had some coverage immediately. As you will see on this slide, it
- 24:07was basically mostly except for the Courier that did some end upth coverage. There
- 24:12was a story that went across the news wires that basically pulled out mister hums
- 24:18or use of himself as him being pulled into the discussion. As Fergus Huming
- 24:25said, as I should beginning, this is what's going to happen potentially next.
- 24:29I think it was really interesting considering some things that I will be covering
- 24:33later on in the news about mister Yusuf. It's interesting that he was pulled
- 24:37out even though there were a lot of other actions that will be going on
- 24:40in the meantime that hopefully will help before he's brought in. But this is
- 24:45where things are going right now up here in Scotland. Brian, I know
- 24:48you've really been helpful. Do you have anything that you want to add or
- 24:52if anyone else has anything to say? Diane, Well, the immediate thing
- 24:56for me to say is well done for what is truly ex reporting on the
- 25:00Vanethe case. It's really bringing it alive. But of course it's been a
- 25:04lot of work by your good self and the women themselves which has produced results.
- 25:10And the final thing I'd like to say is a classic example of people
- 25:15engaging their MPs properly, and so we now see MSPs in Scotland starting to
- 25:22get involved and doing the right thing, and that's been approaching them in the
- 25:26right way and the persistence of the women over four and a half years.
- 25:30So I'm going to say thank you very much for that excellent report. Okay,
- 25:37Well, UK column only functions by the financial help of its members viewers
- 25:45across the world are wonderful, but at the end of the day, it's
- 25:47the people who make a contribution financially that keep us going. And so we'd
- 25:52like to say please support us, Please support the UK Column, become a
- 25:57paid up member, joining the community. That's an important thing where you can
- 26:03meet and swap ideas with other like minded people. You can make a purchase
- 26:07through the UK Column Shop and if you have a look online there's some very
- 26:11interesting products sales of course help us. And at the end of the day,
- 26:17all of the information which UK Column puts out is there to be shared
- 26:21freely with other people. But if you're sharing clips, please do give us
- 26:26a mention. Now. Tomorrow at one o'clock we've got a discussion with Tom
- 26:32Nelson going out. That's with Mike Robinson. Tom Nelson, one of the
- 26:37creators of The Climate the movie, and that's going to be a very interesting
- 26:42discussion. So if you can tune in at one o'clock. A key thing
- 26:47for us today is to say that at the end of the news at two
- 26:51o'clock today there will be a streaming of Playing God. This is the movie
- 26:57that's come together from Mahmoud and Sorry and ash Mahmoud is the film and of
- 27:07course this is with Jackie Devoy in the background, and it's an investigation into
- 27:12medical demicide. In the UK. So a very serious, very important film
- 27:18and we're going to encourage everybody to watch it and then to support it and
- 27:25to help promulgate it and to share the very important message. We've also got
- 27:30an Alternative View fourteen coming up, Riding the Wave, and this is in
- 27:36the Leonardo Hotel, Milton Keynes Sunday the twenty six of May twenty twenty four,
- 27:41and there's a special code there on screen UKC ten which will enable UK
- 27:48column viewers to get a discount for that event, So please consider doing that.
- 27:53Everybody who's trying to get the truth and facts and a message out needs
- 27:57our support. Now we've got another very important event. This is with Channel
- 28:04Islands and UK Alliance COVID vaccines, the devastating health crisis in the Channel Islands
- 28:11and around the world. The key point being is that there is virtually no
- 28:15support for people who've suffered from vaccine adverse effects in the Channel Islands. And
- 28:22Andrew Bridgen is inviting Jersey and Gersey to consider those devastating effects. So there's
- 28:30a great lineup now. The point is that MPs have already received invitations to
- 28:37join this event, and what we are saying to UK column viewers is please
- 28:44get onto your own MPs to make sure that they will indeed attend to hear
- 28:48what these very professional speakers have got to say. We've also got this one,
- 28:53the Lawful Remedy Row show Self Preservation for a Sovereign Life, Sunday twenty
- 29:00six of May ten to five pm, Assembly Rooms, High Street, Glasgow.
- 29:06It's about power, it's about government and media pressure and at the end
- 29:11of the day it's looking at getting people to tackle that and do something about
- 29:15it. Okay, well, Mark, let's welcome you to UK call the
- 29:22news and you're having a look at net zero. Yeah, good day everyone.
- 29:29I was curious. I was pondering this recently. What does that zero
- 29:33mean? What would it look like? And I started thumbing through the internet
- 29:37and I found that our friends at the World Economic Forum, from their layer
- 29:41in Davos, Switzerland, had published this in late twenty twenty two, the
- 29:45headline being these eight countries have already achieved that zero emissions. Imagine my surprise.
- 29:52Well, let's move on from there. Global Action to Combat Climate Change
- 29:57reading part of this has prompted a wave, a wave of national commitments really
- 30:03to reach net zero. The US and many others are targeting twenty fifty,
- 30:08which might mean never in a way with countries like China and India decades later.
- 30:15So we'll give China a free pass because we've moved most manufacturing there plus
- 30:18the emissions. But a handful of carbon sink countries already have their emissions in
- 30:23check that zero is achieved. This is most important when more carbon dioxide is
- 30:29absorbed from the atmosphere each year than is emitted. Reaching that zero on a
- 30:34global scale is a central part of efforts to prevent global warming, exceeding the
- 30:41much ballyhooed one point five celsius climate target, and so on and so forth.
- 30:48I listed the countries. Here's seven of them, or here's part of
- 30:52them anyway. The ones they referred to are Bhutan, which is landlocked South
- 30:59Asia, mostly forestry and agriculture, a cottage industries at best seven hundred and
- 31:03eighty thousand population, Comoros of Volcanic Archipelago of East Africa off the coast.
- 31:11Agriculture is fifty percent of GDP, which employs eighty percent of the labor force.
- 31:17It's basically agrarian gabone if I'm saying that right. The Atlantic coast of
- 31:23Central Africa. Africa largest industries petroleum, manganese and timber, so they're heavy
- 31:29petroleum kind of. We're there, strong links with France, large foreign investments
- 31:33nineteen seventies, an abundant oil reserve discovered offshore, population two point three million.
- 31:40And Guyana. This one's very significant, as we'll see in a couple
- 31:44of minutes or less on a video. This is on South America's North Atlantic
- 31:48coast. A massive oil fine, a massive oil mining operation, you know,
- 31:57offshore mining found offshore has catapulted Guyana from among the lowest performing Latin American
- 32:04countries to the fastest growing economy in the world, we're told two years straight,
- 32:08with the population of eight hundred and eight thousand. Then we've got Madagascar,
- 32:14New Niue, a small island nation South Pacific Ocean, and Panama mainly
- 32:21tourism and services, banking, insurance, container ports, population four point four
- 32:25million, and then Suriname dot dot dot. Moving on from there, the
- 32:30eighth one. Suriname is a small Amazon nation and is among the most forest
- 32:36rich countries in the world, with the African rainforests excuse me, Amazon rainforest
- 32:43canopy covering ninety three percent of its land mass, and those forests reportedly absorb
- 32:47billions of tons of CO two and support rich biodiversity. And what this suggests,
- 32:53Brian is that to be a net zero country you have to be at
- 32:58best an emerging onomy almost a third world nation economically, and not the high
- 33:04output of the US, for example. So it kind of shows, at
- 33:08least tentatively, where we're going with defining that zero and what net zero countries
- 33:13would look like economically. But here we have the president in this video coming
- 33:17up of Guyana lecturing and you'll find this entertaining in a way a BBC reporter
- 33:23who's trying to lecture him. So this guy Gillan and President tries to set
- 33:29the record straight on what his country is doing in contending with the BBC reporters.
- 33:32So let's look at this video. It is expected that there will be
- 33:38one hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of oil and gas extracted off your coast.
- 33:45That means, according to many experts, more than two billion tons of
- 33:51carbon emissions will come from your seabed from those reserves and be released into the
- 33:58atmosphere. I don't know if fewars ahead of state went to the comp right
- 34:02there. Let me stop you right here. Do you know that Guyana has
- 34:20a forest forever that is the size of England and Scotland combined. If forest
- 34:27the stores nineteen point five diketons of carbon. If forests that we have kept
- 34:30alive, A forest that we have kept does not give you the right does
- 34:35not give you the right to release all this carbon from that gives you the
- 34:38right to lecture us on climate change. I am going to lecture you on
- 34:44climate change because we have kept this forest alive. The stores nineteen point five
- 34:49tons of carbon that you enjoy, that the world enjoy, that you don't
- 34:52pay us for, that you don't value, that you don't see a value
- 34:55in that the people of Ghana has kept alive. Guess what we have a
- 35:00lewis deforestation rate in the world. And guess what even with our greatest exploration
- 35:05of the oil and gas resource we have now, we will still be net
- 35:08zero. Can will still be net zero with all our exploration, couple will
- 35:13still be net zero. No, no powerful powerful words, mister President.
- 35:16I'm not completed as yet. I am not finished as yet. I am
- 35:20just not finished as yet. Because this is a hypocrisy that exists in the
- 35:24world. We the world in the last fifty years has lost sixty five percent
- 35:30of all this biodiversity. We have kept our biodiversity. Are you valuing it?
- 35:35Are you ready to pay for it? When is the developed or is
- 35:37going to pay for it? Or are you in the pockets? Are you
- 35:40in the pockets of those who have damaged the environment? Are you in the
- 35:44pockets? Are you in your system in the pockets of those who destroy the
- 35:47environment through the industrial revolution? And now lecturing us some very pointed remarks from
- 35:58the Guyana president to that BBC reporter, kind of some informational justice, you
- 36:04might say, as the BBC is great at lecturing others. But one thing
- 36:08I would come in on briefly, Brian, as I wind up this segment,
- 36:12is that even though that president was very forceful and assertive and made some
- 36:15good points his remarks, unless he's just being obligatory about this, his remarks
- 36:22still support the basic tenets of the globalists, that net zero is important,
- 36:27that preserving forests at all costs, and you know, cutting down any timber,
- 36:31you know you've got to preserve the forest. You can't really use the
- 36:35timber. And so in a way, he's still upholding the narrative, even
- 36:38though he's arguing in the way that the BBC is handling itself and the way
- 36:43it handles these issues, So you can read it different ways, the way
- 36:47that president is talking and what he had to say. But nevertheless, this
- 36:52whole segment points out that the net zero vision necessarily would make countries be well
- 37:00below their potential output economically and stay more or less raided as a developing country
- 37:06and more or less third World than their economic structure. So that kind of
- 37:10doesn't bold well for countries like the UK and the US unless we learn more
- 37:15about it, and that would change our view. So back to you,
- 37:17Brian, Thank you very much. Mark. I just say that strife and
- 37:23conflict amongst the globalists is always good because it helps delay their plan. So
- 37:29let's look on the bright side of that, Alex Lord speaker, what have
- 37:34you got to tell us, well, Brian, Once the narrative of climate
- 37:38change will kill us all has embedded itself through the efforts of the Stephen Suckers
- 37:43of this world in our minds, and as we look forward to racing ahead
- 37:46to the developmental level of Bhutan and Niui, the question is what is this
- 37:51bugbear going to be used to achieve The House of Lords, the upper chamber
- 37:57of the United Kingdom Parliament used to have presiding over it a Lord Chancellor until
- 38:02the Blair vandalism of twenty years ago and more. The Speaker there is simply
- 38:07now called the Lord Speaker, and he sees fit to maintain an interview series
- 38:12put out on the House of Lord's official YouTube channel. Most recently, the
- 38:15Lord Speaker asked, what are the difficulties of regulating artificial intelligence? So we
- 38:21get the tuffer here, we get the climate change gremlin and the artificial intelligence
- 38:24bogeyman, and with us an unfortunate typo here, because Martin Reese is a
- 38:30household name in Britain and many other countries. The Lord Speaker, or whoever
- 38:34does his typing for him, says the former president of the Royal Society,
- 38:38that is the society of Societies of Scientists set up in the Restoration era the
- 38:45seventeenth century. Lord Martin Reese, who's become resources, discusses with me that
- 38:50about that on the last episode of Lord Speaker's Corner Corny pun Let's have a
- 38:55look at just a minute and a little of what Marvin Reese said, and
- 39:00of course it's him who's saying it. Martin rees sorry, but the Lord
- 39:02Speaker is allowing him to say it, and he's calling for world government under
- 39:07the more pleasant sounding name of supranational. And you've advocated the established super national
- 39:15institutions to fake claimate change and others with an appropriate regulatory framework. Does that
- 39:23apply to EI as well as these other subjects? Certainly. I think the
- 39:29special problem of AI is that the main players are now multinational conglomerates as we
- 39:36know as are dominating the world's market. And it's very hard to tax these
- 39:43companies properly, and for the same reason, it's going to be very hard
- 39:45to enforce regulations on them. But if we've got to try, and it's
- 39:50good that the start's being made in a number of ways to try and get
- 39:53greed regulations. But of course the fact that there's a few really dominant players
- 40:00in the market makes it more difficult for nations to assert themselves, even in
- 40:06collaboration. But I think it's very important to ensure that there is regulation of
- 40:10these new technologies. And that was as you can tell from the Corney music,
- 40:21the selected highlight put out by the Lord Speaker and his team personally.
- 40:24And if you want the full interview, which will be linked in the show
- 40:28notes here, it is on the House of Lord's YouTube channel. The astronomer
- 40:34Lord Greece of Ludload speaking to Lord Speaker on this episode sixteen of Lord Speaker's
- 40:39Corner. Is this just a bit unto order? Is there more to it?
- 40:43Well, constitutionally, not much is going to happen, because, for
- 40:45one thing, this was speech, not writing, so it won't qualify under
- 40:50any kind of constitutional crimes of writing. But you did hear a clear call
- 40:53there for His Majesty's governments to be put in abeyance to global government. If
- 41:00we look at the legislative record here, an obscure section of an obscure Act
- 41:06seven Section seventy three of the UK Wide Coroners and Justice Act two thousand and
- 41:09nine, under Gordon Brown abolished or pretended to abolish by statute the common law
- 41:16offense of seditious libel now sedition in the US, known specifically as seditious speech,
- 41:23and it's been prosecuted under that is still very much a common law offense
- 41:28federally and at levels below that seditious libel and the offenses under B and C
- 41:32that have likewise been repealed, or I should say an nulled are of course
- 41:37only writing. But sedition is very real. It is calling for the overthrow
- 41:44of His Majesty's governments, of our sovereignty, of the established order in church
- 41:49and state, and it has a multi century history of being prosecuted in every
- 41:52English speaking jurisdiction. I doubt it will be, but I put it to
- 41:57you that that may be a qualification of seditious speech. And while we're on
- 42:00Scottish politicians, people have heard that the current Lord Speaker their hails from Dumbarton.
- 42:05He is personally a success story. To give him his due, he
- 42:08left school without qualifications and thanks to the open University and his own application,
- 42:14he managed to get very far in life. But it just brings me back
- 42:17to what Diane was telling us a moment ago. We're not quite onto the
- 42:22Dutch Parliament yet Diane was telling us a moment ago that there is now support
- 42:25from Jackson Carl Law, who at least the last I knew, was Deputy
- 42:30leader of the Scottish Conservatives, and from the Scottish Liberal Democrats alex Cole Hamilton.
- 42:34Now these men are quite sincere in their support from the Fanetti ladies.
- 42:37But yet if you put their names, or indeed the name of the former
- 42:40Deputy for Minister of Scotland, John Swinney with an e y into UK column
- 42:45dot Org, you will find questions about their record in the past, particularly
- 42:49this over eagerness to do their best by children, which has led in the
- 42:53case of Carlaw, them to say, we know we should ban home education.
- 42:58In as many words, alex Cole Hamilton was a great cheerleader for the
- 43:01named person's scheme. But you have to bear in mind that they're doing what
- 43:06they can within the moral framework they can and that is set by the Stephen
- 43:09Sackers of this world at the BBC. So this earworm of climate change is
- 43:14a gateway to global government. Likewise, is something that could perhaps be brought
- 43:17out of the mind to these politicians if we write to them in enough numbers,
- 43:21just very quickly. At the end of this segment, then the Dutch
- 43:23Parliament, as reported here by doctor Meryl Nass, a very well known dissident
- 43:28doctor and writer now here she's writing at daughter Freedom. The Dutch Parliament a
- 43:31few days ago the sixteenth voted at the beginning of its Order of business for
- 43:36the day to instruct the minister Missus pr dykes Thrat. She's still in office
- 43:42because we don't have a new government yet, but the holdover from the last
- 43:45government responsible for who negotiations. She's been instructed by a majority of the one
- 43:50hundred and fifty strong Dutch Lower Chamber, the House of Representatives to delay voting
- 43:55on the World Health Organization on both of its instruments, the treaty and regulations
- 44:00that Mark and others have been reporting on, and if they cannot secure a
- 44:04delay, the instructions in the Hague from the parliamentarians are to vote no by
- 44:08default and for those who want to see the original documentation, just to blow
- 44:12that up for a moment, here is the order. It won't necessarily go
- 44:16through given the Dutch constitutional arrangement, but it will carry much weight. Order
- 44:21that the Minister should ask for a delay on voting on the amendments and thus
- 44:25also on the International Health Regulations and the new Pandemic Treaty at the World Health
- 44:30Assembly, and if not to vote against. There is the mainstream Dutch paper
- 44:36that picked up on it, the legacy title the tile Craft, So those
- 44:39who read Dutch or use translation machines can see that on screen at the moment
- 44:44is a summary in English produced by doctor merril NAS's article on what's going on.
- 44:49So a very significant indication not only on this issue, but more widely
- 44:52that the Dutch Parliament may also now consist of a majority of people who are
- 44:58sufficiently aware of public opinion not to run through such monstrosities. Alex, thank
- 45:04you very much for that, and we're going to move back to Mark.
- 45:08Now, who's going to be talking about the World's Bank. Indeed, the
- 45:15World Bank, of course holds the annual Spring meetings in DC. There's another
- 45:21slide prior to this one, I believe, But anyway, these are some
- 45:27samplings of World Bank and IMF topics that took place last week. I was
- 45:31going to report this ahead of time, but it got delayed, so now
- 45:35this is after the fact. For the twenty twenty four Spring Meetings, which
- 45:37are typically held in DC. I covered them in person eleven years ago,
- 45:42and a quick footnote on that was one thing I picked up on eleven years
- 45:45ago when I was there, was that countries that did not change their family
- 45:50policies, countries that moved away from traditional nuclear marriages, nuclear families and would
- 45:57go more for putting women into the workforce as an obligatory thing, they would
- 46:01get more funding and more favorable funding terms. Things like that. But some
- 46:07of the topics last week, let's go back one just a quick summary to
- 46:14the side before that. Yeah, Civil Society Policy Forum, the path for
- 46:20taxing the super rich, which has always been kind of an elusive thing.
- 46:23Climate financing for African small developed states, closing the gap that kind of ties
- 46:29into my World Economic Forum thing earlier about what defines zero and making the new
- 46:35Loss and Damage Fund a success, recommendations by climate vulnerable civil society. So
- 46:42there's all sorts of funds tying into climate change in the achievement of the Sustainable
- 46:45Development goals, all seventeen of them of the UN that's all hardwired into this.
- 46:51We'll move on from there, and I believe we have the basic wrap
- 46:55up video. This is produced by the World Bank itself, but it gives
- 47:00you the basic rudiments of what they talked about and the thrust of it.
- 47:05So we'll watch this video. Hello, and welcome to Washington, DC,
- 47:09where we're wrapping up the World Bank Group and IMF Spring meetings. It's been
- 47:14a busy week. The focus for us this year was on how the World
- 47:22Bank Group can turn its vision of creating a world free of poverty on a
- 47:25livable planet into real impact. We're becoming a better bank, faster, more
- 47:31effective, more ambitious. On Wednesday, President aj Banga announced the commitment to
- 47:37connect three hundred million Africans to affordable energy by twenty thirty in partnership with the
- 47:44African Development Bank. On Thursday, we unveiled another commitment to expand quality,
- 47:50affordable health services to one point five billion people, also by twenty thirty.
- 47:57To close the week, eleven countries announced e eleven billion in commitments to three
- 48:01innovative financing tools at the World Then Group to greatly scale up financing for development.
- 48:07We will also partner with other multilateral development banks on a new co financing
- 48:13platform. There was a big focus on IDA, our fund which provides grants
- 48:21and low interest loans to help countries invest in the future of people and planets.
- 48:25We're heading into the IDA twenty one replenishment, so you'll be hearing much
- 48:30more about IDA in the days and weeks to come, But for now,
- 48:34goodbye from the twenty twenty four Spring Meetings. So as you can see Brian
- 48:42all very upbeat. It reveals a little bit about what they're doing. But
- 48:45for this report, the big thing is the From Vision to Impact, which
- 48:52was mentioned is mentioned in the first slide for those that might review the show
- 48:57on the archive and things like that and look at the show notes, but
- 49:00I looked it up. From Vision to Impact is a significant paper World Bank
- 49:05Group Evolution, and one could say a lot about it. It's got the
- 49:07financing model list on one side, the new playbook on the other side.
- 49:13But the IDA, the International Development Association of the World Bank, and that
- 49:20ongoing funding mechanism is what's really significant. It's listed actually in the next slide,
- 49:25so it's not shown at the top of the proverbial list, but the
- 49:30IDA twenty one launch is mentioned there, and moving on from there is helpful
- 49:35to define and explain what that is. IDA twenty one replenishment, the twenty
- 49:40first replenishment of the International Development Association is critical and responding to global challenges and
- 49:46seizing opportunities for change and ambitious IDA twenty one will serve as a lifeline for
- 49:52a world in crisis. Multiple crises have hindered global development, endangered lives and
- 49:58livelihoods and left many countries in debt, which is a very misleading thing to
- 50:02talk about countries being in debt as if the World Bank and IMF have nothing
- 50:07to do with that. IDA has approven track record, they claim of improving
- 50:12conditions in the poorest countries and it'll catalyze investments in women and youth empowerment.
- 50:16There's that theme again to kind of overturn the traditional home and to put women
- 50:23in the workforce as an economic and cultural obligation as a precondition for getting funding
- 50:30in many cases of course, energy access, climate goals, digitalization, job
- 50:36creation, et cetera, to end poverty on the livable planet. That's a
- 50:40kind of sideways referral to climate change again. Moving on from there, the
- 50:45World Bank's IDA is a game changer. This is another video and this will
- 50:51explain it a little more in depth. Of Children's Right. It is hugely
- 50:55important to the work that the International Rescue Can MITEE do as one of the
- 51:01largest sources of finance for some of the countries that are most in need but
- 51:07are furthest behind on achieving the sustainable development goals and our most climate vulnerable.
- 51:12That is really the best most impactful, most flexible instrument for people living in
- 51:17the first companies, funding education systems, health systems. Only fifteen percent of
- 51:22the goals are on track to be met, which means that we need to
- 51:27shake up our strategies. We need some star players and some game changing wins
- 51:31in order that we might get back on track in the second half. And
- 51:36I think EIDA is the biggest game change and we could hopeful No country can
- 51:40solve some of the issues that we're facing alone. We have to work together,
- 51:45and we need leadership. And if you are in a position of power
- 51:49and you can, this is a mechanism that you and your country should absolutely
- 51:53support from projects everyone. IDA is important because it is really one of the
- 51:59star players that will help get the global goals done. This People and Planet
- 52:02Fund that IDA is is the best investment in terms of its leverage with other
- 52:08resources and the way in which provides this background connective clue for lots of other
- 52:14investments to do better in development, in building resilience to climate shops, in
- 52:19supporting a safer world. Look at the results, look at how much a
- 52:22return on investment you can get for this. It is a win win for
- 52:27all people. My message to donor countries is really very simple. Poorer countries
- 52:31did not cause COVID, They didn't cause the spike in interest rates, they
- 52:36didn't cause the conflict that has driven up food prices. They didn't cause climate
- 52:39change. But poorer countries are at the sharp end of all of those problems.
- 52:44And if we're serious as an international community about delivering a sustainable development Goals
- 52:49by twenty thirty, what we have to do is very simple. We have
- 52:52to make sure that IDA twenty one is fully funded. So there you go.
- 53:00Yeah, poor countries didn't cause interest rates to go up, but banking
- 53:04policies did, and of course the world's central banks and the World Bank and
- 53:07the IMF are all part of that banking machine. Quickly, how does the
- 53:12IDA work. It's overseen by it's one hundred and seventy four shareholder countries,
- 53:17which comprise the Board of Governors. The day to day development work of IDA
- 53:22is managed by the World Bank Operational Staff, et ceteras historically been funded largely
- 53:27by contributions from the governments of its member countries, so largely taxpayers, regardless
- 53:34of whatever private donors might take place. Brian, and we have one I
- 53:38believe one other slide and there's an important part of this. I could go
- 53:42into all of this. I'll just mention it very briefly. Eyed up borrowers
- 53:47earlier in the literature I read and the little bit of research I did,
- 53:52they kept using the word grants. I picked up on that word being used.
- 53:55A grant you would typically think would not have to be paid back.
- 54:00Borrowers have significant needs for concessional funds, et cetera, et cetera. If
- 54:04you go down to the one before the last item, when it gets into
- 54:09the qualifications, it says nations that lack credit worthiness to borrow on market terms
- 54:19and therefore have a need for concessional resources to finance the country's development program.
- 54:23So to be eligible for funds, you cannot lack credit worthiness to borrow on
- 54:30market terms. So what it really means here is another debt machine disguised as
- 54:36charity funded by the taxpayers Brian. So that's what it crunches out to be,
- 54:42and that's not surprising from the World Bank system, but there hasn't been
- 54:45a lot of reporting on its Spring meetings in recent years. So this gives
- 54:49us a little bit of a refresher course Okay, Mark, thank you.
- 54:52That will jump ahead a little bit because you had some detail about some contact
- 54:58details in relation to the report. Will make sure that they go up on
- 55:01the show notes. Let's end today with a trip back to Scotland and Diane,
- 55:09I think you've got a little bit more to tell us about Humsa.
- 55:12Mister Humsa, Yes, yes, mister Humsa has had a bad couple of
- 55:16weeks. I will start by saying that on well, his hate crime bill
- 55:22has made him incredibly unpopular. A poll from just a few days ago said
- 55:27that he has fallen from January in popularity by minus fifteen points and currently twenty
- 55:32nine percent of SMP supporters at the last election do not approve of his job
- 55:37currently. Also on the ninth of April, just before that poll came out,
- 55:42his brother in law was charged with abduction not extortion, in a case
- 55:45link to a man who died in the hospital in Dundee on the tenth of
- 55:50January. I believe it was which we could say is personal anything to do
- 55:52with him, but really did not set him up for the next two days
- 55:54that he was going to have. So we can see here. Five days
- 55:58ago on Twitter, he said as the largest pro independence party at this general
- 56:02election. The SMP is best place to advance the cause of independence, get
- 56:07rid of any every Tory MP in Scotland. I think he forgets sometimes that
- 56:10we are still part of the UK and ensure Scotland's voice is heard. And
- 56:15we have a lot of these kinds of sarcastic responses. Jack is one of
- 56:19many saying things like translation, the SMP will advance the cause of Islam,
- 56:22get rid of right questions and ensure women's rights are ended. Fix that for
- 56:28you. You're welcome. So we're not seeing a whole lot of support for
- 56:30Hamza on social media. Now we go on to Thursday last week, we
- 56:36see that the SMP's net zero secretary, Mary McCallen, has accepted that the
- 56:43net zero reduction targets are twenty thirty are now unobtainable. Surprise, surprise,
- 56:47right. So the problem here is that this is now in question the coalition
- 56:51that they did have the Scottish Dreams. The Scottish Greens are not very happy.
- 56:53They're also not very happy with the results of the CAST report on what's
- 56:58going on with the LGBT agenda, so that is starting to fall apart as
- 57:01well, if we go on also on Thursday, Nicholas Sturgeon's husband, Peter
- 57:07Murle, who I'd like to call mister Sturgeon, has been re arrested over
- 57:10the emvestment of funds from the SMP. So this happened already a couple of
- 57:15months ago. He's brought back in and it's expected obviously to be pretty serious.
- 57:20So this was back a few weeks ago. Believing he was first arrested
- 57:23it was last year. Sorry. And then from here we go on to
- 57:27Saturday. We had an Independence march in Glasgow. How did that go?
- 57:30Well, we had someone who drove into the march as they were proceeding from
- 57:35the west into the city center. We see there there was a police person
- 57:38trying to stop the car by placing their hand on the bonnet of the car.
- 57:44However, an SMP councilor decided to comment before they knew what was going
- 57:49on that it was obviously far right extremism that was the reason for this person
- 57:53driving into the parade, which was not the cause at all, as we
- 57:55found out later on. It was a man who's now been arrested on drug
- 58:00yards charges and driving issues. So they got to George Square in the city
- 58:04center. We have some people trying to show that there's all these blue SMP
- 58:08supporters and Scottish flags going on. But if you look at the actual webcam
- 58:13from the top of the City Chambers looking down, as McKay is said,
- 58:16there there are not many hashtake Believe in Scotland, which was the name of
- 58:21the group that organized the event. So from here, where do we go?
- 58:25While it's not looking good for the S and P, it's not really
- 58:29looking good for anyone up here. But I certainly don't expect that they will
- 58:32be winning at the next election. Maybe labor, who knows. But it's
- 58:36all over the aar from here right now. Brian, Okay, Diane,
- 58:39Well, we've got chaos and turbulence everywhere in this country. Meanwhile, the
- 58:45globalist agenda and those Agenda twenty thirty goals are all encompassing for every national government
- 58:54in the world. So yeah, troubled times, Alex. I think you're
- 58:59going to end news today with a particular image. What have you got for
- 59:02us? Yes, I'm afraid it is an AI designed one. I don't
- 59:07know the name of the artist. I'll gladly give credit if someone tells me
- 59:09who. But get bearing in mind the debate we just heard between President Muhammed
- 59:14ifan Ali of Guyana and Steven Sacker of the BBC on net zero and give
- 59:17them mark to extra details. Here we are a neo caveman family, hideously
- 59:23white, some people would call them in today's cultural climate, are living in
- 59:28their grotto and eating their legumes. And the father of the family, who's
- 59:32reverted to patriarchal type with his big beard and pectorals, says Net zero,
- 59:37We've done it. We are saved. I shared this on my telegram Channel
- 59:40Eastern Approaches the other day and somebody pointed out that those fires are going to
- 59:44have to go because they're would based certainly in Scotland. Okay, Alex,
- 59:50thank you very much for that. I'll just say before we end that A
- 59:53made a mistake talking about the Lawful Remedy road Show twenty six of May ten
- 59:59o'clock in the morning, TI, I think I said Glasgow. I meant
- 1:00:01Glastonbury down in the West Country, so apologies to the team there, but
- 1:00:07we've now corrected it. We must end today's news. Thank you all very
- 1:00:10much for joining us, and stay with the UK column Channel for the playing
- 1:00:15out of Playing God and investigation into medical democide in the UK. Thank you
- 1:00:22for joining us
