- 0:08Good afternoon. It's Friday, the nineteenth of July twenty twenty four, just
- 0:11after one o'clock. Welcome to the UK column News. I'm your host Mirke
- 0:13Robinson joining me by video link. Today we have Ben Rubin and Debbie Evans.
- 0:19Welcome to the program both. No, I've just noticed we have a
- 0:22slight technical problem here, so just give me one second to fix it.
- 0:27There we go. So let's bring this on screen, the Brexit without the
- 0:31Exit. This is the Blenham Palace event yesterday where all the European leaders came
- 0:37over plus Zelenski to meet with the new Prime Minister of the UK, Ker
- 0:43Starmer. And this is under the auspices of the European political community. Now
- 0:47we'll talk about that in a little second, but just let's have a look
- 0:52at some clips of Ker Starmer here. First of all, on the topic
- 0:56of Ukraine. We thought a very six us full and productive summer time.
- 1:00Please to report bringing together the forty six European leaders, including President Zelensky who
- 1:07addressed the plenary this morning. As I think you know, we discussed once
- 1:11again our commitment to stand with Ukraine, a very important commitment made again today
- 1:19including supporting their energy needs ahead of winter, so getting ahead of this winter.
- 1:26Now, I didn't explain why they needed to support Ukraine's energy needs,
- 1:30but we were talking about this a few days ago. Let's bring this back
- 1:33on screen. This is AFP tweeting out that Zelensky has said that solar panels
- 1:38need to be installed in Ukraine's hospitals and schools following a wave of Russian strikes
- 1:42and power plants, and they quote them saying solar panels, smart meters and
- 1:46energy storage units must appear in every school and hospital as soon as possible.
- 1:49And basically, the Russians have been targeting Ukrainian infrastructure, energy infrastructure to the
- 1:56point that they are getting very close to not having sufficient for the winter needs,
- 2:00if they aren't already at that stage. And so it's interesting that Starmer
- 2:06decided to acknowledge that during his opening remarks and clearly continuing with the sort of
- 2:15Ukraine support narrative, he went on to say this, now, I mean,
- 2:20we need to be clear Ukraine is fighting not just for the Ukrainian people,
- 2:23though of course it is, but for the European people, for freedom,
- 2:29democracy and the rule of law and our security. Therefore starts in Ukraine,
- 2:37so this shouldn't be surprising. Our security starts in Ukraine. And of
- 2:40course he's banging the same old drum about the rule of law and so on,
- 2:46while he continues to ignore the rule of law in so many aspects of
- 2:50life. He went on to talk about the connections with Europe, our relationship
- 2:55with Europe, and congratulated Urshila Vanderleyan. It's not just a good idea to
- 3:04work with our partners, it's essential. And I said on the steps of
- 3:08Downing Street that I would govern for the whole country, including those who didn't
- 3:15vote for us, and I meant it. We can only make progress on
- 3:22the issues that so many people care about, like illegal migration and national security
- 3:30if we have the maturity and leadership to reach out a hand to our European
- 3:37friends. And I want to congratulate Slavon de Leon for her reelection today as
- 3:43President of the European Commission. So Ursula in players night saw and I have
- 3:51a war leader in the European Commission, and we have our war leader in
- 3:54the UK. We remitted to be seeing who the war leader is going to
- 3:58be in the United States, but probably know who that's going to be.
- 4:01But the thing is here, what is this European Political community and what has
- 4:06this got to do with He's saying that he's governing for everyone in the UK,
- 4:12but he's clearly not governing for people who wanted Brexit. That was the
- 4:15decision of the UK because we are in the process of reversing Brexit. So
- 4:18let's just look at the House of Commons library here, this is what they
- 4:23said from October twenty twenty two. What is the European Political Community? And
- 4:29well, here are the key points. The original proposite proposal came from Manual
- 4:32Macron. There was a parallel proposal from others within the European Community itself,
- 4:39but Emmanuel Macron's idea was moved ahead with It was agreed to by Liz Truss.
- 4:45And so this policy of bringing the UK into this new grouping called the
- 4:48European Political Community began with the Tories. It's being continued with Labor and so
- 4:54nothing changes here for the Prime Minister who claimed that his election was all about
- 4:59change and so this is all about strengthening the links between EU member states and
- 5:03non EU member states who share the same European values. This is about bringing
- 5:09the UK back into the European Union in so many practical ways while claiming to
- 5:15respect the wishes of the people who voted for Brexit. So by not bringing
- 5:20us back into some new treaty, but by just bringing us into this little
- 5:25organization which will basically make a bunch of agreements over the next number of years,
- 5:30we will end up in the major infrastructure of Europe again. And we'll
- 5:35see what it is that they're talking about in a second. But I just
- 5:40thought we should play this clip just to remind ourselves what this is all about.
- 5:46Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in,
- 5:54right, So it's not really a joke, But I just I thought that
- 5:57we should lighten the mood slightly there. But my question here is, and
- 6:02some people will object to this question perhaps, but my question here is that
- 6:05just at the time that Keir Starmer is bringing us back into the European Union,
- 6:12where's Nigel Farage? And of course he isn't in the country. Now.
- 6:17This is typical of Nigel Farage and his history, and we can talk
- 6:23about that a little bit more in extra he has not you know, he's
- 6:28got to a point and then he's decided a job done, don't need to
- 6:30do anymore. And really this is one of the key meetings right at the
- 6:35very beginning of the Starmer regime, and he's nowhere to be seen because he's
- 6:40in the United States supporting Trump. Now, let's listen to another comment from
- 6:45Starmer and see where this is taking us. So we are going to deepen
- 6:50our corporation on defense and security, defense and security. So European Defense Union
- 7:00is a topic that the UK column has been talking about for many, many
- 7:02years and it is absolutely key to understanding what is going on at the moment.
- 7:09So let's look at the King's speech, just very briefly, King Charles
- 7:13saying, a couple of days ago, my government will seek to reset the
- 7:15relationship with European partners, will seek a new security pact to strengthen cooperation and
- 7:23mutual threats faced by the United Kingdom and the European Union. And why is
- 7:27this happening, Well, of course it's happening because of the threat as they
- 7:31perceive it of Donald Trump, Donald Trump looking increasingly like he is going to
- 7:35become the next president of the United States, and of course the European Union
- 7:42using that as an excuse to say well, Donald Trump doesn't really like NATTO
- 7:46and therefore we've got to build our own defense capability. But many people in
- 7:51the UK will say, well, EU Defense, so what, Well,
- 7:56here's the point. This is effectively the end of national software. So the
- 8:01European Union in so many ways represents the end of national sovereignty. We've got
- 8:05banking union, We've got you know, currency union, We've got all these
- 8:09various unions within the EU for people who are member states, and this is
- 8:13just another one. But think about this command and control of national militaries at
- 8:20a European Commission level. This is what they're aiming for. So national military
- 8:26is no longer in the command and control of national governments, but that moves
- 8:30up a level to the European Commission. Defense procurement also at the European Commission
- 8:35level. And if anybody's in any diet about where this is going and what
- 8:41the direction of travel here is, just ask yourself the question why does the
- 8:46UK not have an independent military capability? You know, the the defense chiefs
- 8:52and various other commentators at the moment, and the UK column for that matter,
- 8:56talking about the fact that the UK that the UK military can't put an
- 9:00army on the field, doesn't have a navy anymore, barely has an air
- 9:03force. Why does it not have this independent military capability? And the reason
- 9:09is because from a policy perspective, it's not needed. We will be in
- 9:13the European Defense Union and a part of the European Defense Union. You've got
- 9:16to look at the European Defense Union at plus NATO as a whole to see
- 9:20what the overall military capability is. Now, going back to twenty nineteen,
- 9:26we already had instances of UK military this man on the left. Here UK
- 9:33military personnel wearing e you've badges on their arms. This has already happened to
- 9:37many In many cases, we have had a very close relationship between the EU,
- 9:43the European Commission and NATO. This is Stoltenberg and Federick of Magherini and
- 9:50okay, I chose a particular frame from the video which made it look perhaps
- 9:52a bit more salicious than it is, but I wanted to just give you
- 9:56an impression of why this is our how close this relationship is. And if
- 10:01we look at the map, as far as the European Union is concerned of
- 10:05their neighbors, they have two key areas that they're interested in the Eastern neighborhood,
- 10:11which is the right, which includes Ukraine, and the Southern neighborhood to
- 10:15the south, which includes North Africa. Now, if we look at the
- 10:18Eastern neighborhood first, one of the key aspects of this is so called military
- 10:22mobility, and this is the ability to move military and personnel and material from
- 10:28the west coast of the European continent and from the UK for that matter,
- 10:33to the east to the Eastern neighborhood, which is the next battlefront. This
- 10:37is the map that they produced for it. And if we just look at
- 10:39the text from twenty nineteen, twenty two member states that you can see on
- 10:43screen, and you'll notice the UK not listed in that. They set this
- 10:48up in twenty nineteen a new program that implements a major part of the action
- 10:52plan and military mobility, allowing free cross free cross border surface in their movement
- 10:58of personnel and equipment. I joined this about two years later, and so
- 11:03we are part of this process. And then if we look at the southern
- 11:07neighborhood North Africa in particular, well we see in orange there the northern African
- 11:13countries like Algeria and Libya, and so on. But actually this is the
- 11:16area that they're particularly interested in. And so just to reinforce this, I'm
- 11:20going to play a little bit of video. Again you've seen it before,
- 11:24but I think it's important that we keep reminding yourselves of this. This is
- 11:28Erschuela, vonder Lean and Tony Blair from different aspects of the Munich Security Conference
- 11:33and twenty eighteen. I believe talking about European Defense Union. First of all,
- 11:41our collective defense. We are iron klead committed to NATO NATO of twenty
- 11:50nine that is collective to defense Article five. But there are problems and issues
- 11:56where I do not see NATO. But Europe has to be able to act
- 12:01that though this transatlantic alliance with America is extremely important and we need to maintain
- 12:07it. The best partnership is a partnership where we have our own capabilities that
- 12:13are also strong. I was talking about Africa. This is not a typical
- 12:18place for NATO. We are very commuter to NADO on other places, but
- 12:22Africa is a place where we need to be able to act as Europeans.
- 12:26For example, one of the things that my institute does is work in Africa,
- 12:31and at the moment We're particularly focused on the Sahell group of countries.
- 12:35That's that band of countries across the north part of Sub Saharan Africa where you've
- 12:41got exploding populations, dire poverty, radicalization and extremism. We may well face
- 12:48the next wave of migration and extremism from those countries. It makes perfect sense
- 12:56for Europe to have the military capability to help those countries is with their security
- 13:01and for that we created the European Defense Union to have a comprehensive approach with
- 13:07diplomacy, economic development and the military means. And so this is absolutely the
- 13:15direction of travel at the moment. I just to finish this off very quickly.
- 13:18One final comment from Starmer from yesterday and on illegal migration, where we
- 13:24are resetting our approach and that's been central today. As Director of Public Prosecutions,
- 13:31I saw the work that can be done across borders to bring terrorists to
- 13:37justice and break up their networks. And as the focus continuing to be on
- 13:41illegal migration, which as we talked about on Wednesday's program, is a very
- 13:46small part of the problem. This is diversionry ignore the major part of the
- 13:50immigration issue and focus on the illegal immigration and then he talks about the DPP
- 13:56and I just want to put this up from squawk box. Starmer didn't know
- 13:58resub postmasters was involved on savil, what did he do as DPP. I
- 14:05think these are very good questions and questions we continue to need to ask and
- 14:09have answered. So that's it on that, Debbie. Let me welcome you
- 14:13to the program, and you've got a little bit more on the King's speech.
- 14:18Yes, good afternoon everyone. Well, I've decided to change the language
- 14:22because looking at the King's speech and we look at sustainability, don't really sustainable
- 14:26goals. Well I've decided to completely change that to unsustainable goals. So let's
- 14:33look a little bit at the King's speech. So what does it mean.
- 14:35It actually means that the King delivers a speech that is written by government.
- 14:41However, I've got a book and it's called in Charles's own words, and
- 14:46he says, I'm planning to find out all I can about British life,
- 14:50including the government, civil service, the unions and everything. So clearly our
- 14:56king is very interested in our government. But not everybody's a fan. And
- 15:01during the King's speech there were a number of arrests, there were protests,
- 15:05down with the crown, not my king. So once again I have to
- 15:11ask our labors policies sustainable. So the first thing I want to draw your
- 15:16attention to is water, because I do like to focus on water and we
- 15:20will. So there are plans to put water companies into special measures new legislation
- 15:24next week. But what I want you to remember is that when it comes
- 15:30to water companies, they are not statutory consultees for planning. And this is
- 15:35going to become evident in a minute. So we already know that water company's
- 15:39infrastructure is hanging. It cannot cope with any more developments. And actually here
- 15:46you can see the question asked by Lawrence Robinson who said can they become statutory
- 15:52consultees and basically Christopher Pincher MP said no, not unless special circumstances, which
- 15:58is why I ask about building and what labor are planning on building. So
- 16:03they're saying they're going to build one point five million homes in the next five
- 16:07years. Well is that sustainable really when we've got a hanging water infrastructure that's
- 16:12already over capacity, I don't think so, So what does that actually mean
- 16:18they're going to do? Well? Apparently they're going to unleash mares. If
- 16:22we just jump onto the next slide, we're going to unleash mares. We're
- 16:26going to have next generation new towns. Now I've found out these are called
- 16:30garden towns everybody, So if you've got one in your locality that's being built,
- 16:33that's what that means. They're planning passport passport sort of free passes to
- 16:41get for urban developments on brown Field and they want to give first DIBs to
- 16:47first time buyers. But going back to the immigration and the migration problem,
- 16:53we also see that Labour are going to be allowing one hundred thousand migrants to
- 16:59apply for a US asylum and as of April twenty twenty four, one hundred
- 17:03and two that one hundred and two thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight were
- 17:07waiting a decision. But they were talking about a border security bill, which
- 17:12kind of peaked my interest. So I went to have a look at Civil
- 17:17Service World and they have confirmed that Labor has upped the funding for HMRC to
- 17:23a border security command. So what is a border security command? Because by
- 17:30my reckoning, if we're going to be having all of these migrants coming in,
- 17:33they're going to be taking up a lot of the homes that Labor intend
- 17:36to bar tend to build over the next five years. But it seems that
- 17:40the Border Security Command is going to the funding's going to go up from five
- 17:45hundred and fifty five million to eight hundred and fifty five million. We're going
- 17:48to get five thousand compliance officers, We're going to get cross border police officers.
- 17:53I'm not quite sure where all these people are coming from. We've got
- 17:56a thousand strong body who are going to and to fast track removal of failed
- 18:00asylum seekers to save countries, but I'm not quite sure where those are.
- 18:04And my question is will any of the successful asylum seekers be border at be
- 18:11patrolling our borders in future? That's the question I have for everybody. But
- 18:15let's get back to energy. And we've mentioned great British energy before and this
- 18:19is the Labour Big Plan owned by the British, built by the British,
- 18:23the benefits the British. So you think fantastic, but actually this looks like
- 18:27an enabling scam to me for climate change. But how fortunate that King Charles
- 18:33himself is diverting the crown estate for the public good. How does he do
- 18:38that? How does the Crown Estate work. Well, here's a little diagram
- 18:42of how the Crown Estate actually works. Now, the Treasury they calculate the
- 18:47Sovereign Grant which stands at the moment of eighty six point three million, They
- 18:51give that to the Crown Estate. The Crown Estate makes the profits and gives
- 18:56it back to the Treasury. So King Charles is very high up on the
- 18:59agenda. Are with wind how convenient? But also thanks to labor and thanks
- 19:04to King Charles, Labour have lifted the nine year ban on onshore wind farms.
- 19:10So you're going to expect to see wind farms pretty much everywhere. But
- 19:14it doesn't stop there because, as we've already reported and Charles has reported,
- 19:19we're looking at super giant solar farms and I know that we're going to be
- 19:25reporting on those in the future. But it doesn't just stop with solar farms
- 19:30and wind farms. We've got pylons coming and for those of you in the
- 19:36East of England from Norwich through to Tillsbury, you're going to get one hundred
- 19:40and twelve miles of pylons. Now they're thinking of designing them to look like
- 19:44reindeer, so they're not so nasty to look at, so that'll be interesting
- 19:48to see. And Rachel Reeves has said that apparently all of these pylons if
- 19:52we want to get is the only way to get Putin's boot off our neck,
- 19:57because we need to invest in home grown renewables. But my question is
- 20:02is sustainable now unsustainable? And I believe it is. Debbie, thank you
- 20:08very much for that. Ben. Let's come on to you and well,
- 20:12we're going to talk about the Phibian Society. Indeed we are, and hello
- 20:18everybody. A big question for me is if we just lived through a radical
- 20:22Marxist takeover of the British state. And as Mike said, we're going to
- 20:26talk about the Fabian Society, the British secret Society in think Tank proto think
- 20:32tank. It was established in eighteen eighty four. I don't think the think
- 20:34tank term had appeared by that point. But their express aim is to implement
- 20:40a global Marxist state and they are incredibly well connected into the top levels of
- 20:45the new British government. To start with, let's hear from George Bernard Shaw,
- 20:48who was one of the earliest members of the Fabian Society. I object
- 20:55to earn punishment whatsoever. I don't love to punish anybody, but there are
- 21:00an extraordinary number of people whom I want to kill, and not in any
- 21:04unkind or personal spilt. But it must be evident to all of you.
- 21:10You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in
- 21:12this word, who are more trouble than they are worth. And I think
- 21:18it would be a good thing to make everybody come before a properly appointed board,
- 21:26just as he might come before the Incompax commissioners, and say every five
- 21:30years or every seven years. Just put him there and say, sir or
- 21:36matter, now, will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If
- 21:41you can't justify your existence, if you're not pulling your weight into social boat,
- 21:45if you're not producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little
- 21:49more, then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the
- 21:56purpose of keeping you alive. BECAUSEU where life does not bems, it has
- 22:02and it can't be very much beautiful. It's incredible, yeah, isn't it?
- 22:10Just yeah? I mean that's the sentiment at the heart of this movement.
- 22:14Ultimately, yes, So I thought we would just have a look at
- 22:15a couple of other leaders of the founders of the Phibian Societies. And the
- 22:19place to go to have a look at the full list is the National Portrait
- 22:23Gallery, and they have quite a number of people there, as you can
- 22:26see. But I just thought we taught look at H. G. Wells.
- 22:29First of all, he was a founder of the Phibian Society, mostly
- 22:33known as a science fiction writer. Of course, the method that must come
- 22:37in, must in some cases be called in is death. The merciful obliteration
- 22:41of weak and silly and pointless things is very much expressing the same point of
- 22:45view that we've just heard on that video clip. And he went on to
- 22:48say future humans will naturally regard the modest suicide of the incurably melancholy or diseased
- 22:55or helpless persons as a high and courageous act of duty rather than a crime.
- 23:00And just a reminder if you read The Open Conspiracy, which is well
- 23:03it's supposedly not a science fiction novel anyway, he's talking about various things like
- 23:07ending the nation's state, controlling human population. That Russia is a crucial target
- 23:12the foreign corporation of the European system, so that's it's g Wells. Let's
- 23:18look at somebody else here, Berton Russell, And well, he's talking about
- 23:21propaganda mainly and social psychology in this particular quote, but there have been I
- 23:26could have chosen a host of different quotes from him. I think the subjects
- 23:30which would be most importance politically is mass psychology. Its importance has been enormously
- 23:33increased by the growth of modern methods of population of propaganda. Sorry, it
- 23:38may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything
- 23:44if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the state with money
- 23:47and equipment. So Ben that really sort of sums up the minds that established
- 23:52this organization in the first place. Absolutely, it's coercive control from top to
- 23:59bottom, isn't it. Well, look, we'll have a little look at
- 24:02some of the other pieces of the puzzle here so important as we'll come back
- 24:07to that. The mascot of the Fabian Society was the tortoise that was widely
- 24:12used until the nineteen sixties, and their motto was when I strike, I
- 24:18strike hard, which is a tribute to the Roman senator Quintus Fabius Maximus of
- 24:23Vorucosis who built his reputation in conflict by avoiding direct confrontation in a war with
- 24:32Hannibal. So he would basically attack supply lines, avoid going after the main
- 24:36body of troops. But then when he did strike, he would strike hard
- 24:41and go very quickly and very forcefully towards the target. And I think that's
- 24:45what we're seeing right now. If you look at the way that the Starman
- 24:48government has really come out of the gates over the past two weeks and just
- 24:52been im implementing, implementing this nebulous change agenda that we don't really understand.
- 24:57I think that that's exactly what you looking at here. We also know that
- 25:02they are wolves in sheep's clothing. I mean, this is literally their schigils,
- 25:07is how they present themselves. They don't telegraph their intentions. This is
- 25:11very much in the SAULA. Lynsky school of thought. You don't tell people
- 25:14what you're actually up to. You make them think that you're benevolently kind,
- 25:17but then you move quickly to implement your agenda once you've got into position of
- 25:21power, and they are in a position of power. So we've just had
- 25:23one hundred and forty one MPs from the Fabian Society elected into parliament, right,
- 25:29they've been boasting about this on social media and that includes they're not limited
- 25:33to Angela Rayner who's the Deputy Prime Minister. Rachel Reeves is the Chancellor of
- 25:37Ett Cooper who's the Home Secretary, West Streeting who's the Secretary of Health and
- 25:41Social Care. And I think if you remember the Blair segment from last week
- 25:45when he was talking about the need to force people to change if you love
- 25:49them, right, that's that very much that kind of mentality, right,
- 25:53that worldview you have to justify your existence. We're going to force you to
- 25:56change. That's right in the heart of the health system. Lisa and Andy
- 26:00at DCMS, who's going to be censoring everybody. And then Ed importantly Ed
- 26:04Milliband, who I'll come back to in a minute, who's running energy security
- 26:08in net zero and I think is actually, on closer inspection, a total
- 26:12lunatic, right if you really look at Ed Milliband, he's a very very
- 26:15stranger guy. Who else in the Labor Party? So Gordon Brown's currently in
- 26:22the process of rewriting the British Constitution. He's a Fabian. But also let's
- 26:26not forget the arch Fabian. Tony Blair stood here in front of the Fabian
- 26:32stained glass window saying prayed about Lee Hammer Stoutley, which actually are quite good
- 26:36words to stand by, I think, but not in the context of what
- 26:38these people are trying to do. Blair's got an extraordinarily long history with the
- 26:42Fabian Society. This was a speech that he gave to an event at the
- 26:48Old vic Theater in two thousand and three, so midway through his own second
- 26:52term as Prime Minister, and he starts with a reference to the Clement Attley
- 27:00government, which was the labor government of the Second World War, and he
- 27:03basically says that today we see that great nineteen forty five government as coming closest
- 27:08to building a new Jerusalem. Yet immediately afterwards it was routinely attacked on the
- 27:15left, but not trying hard enough to form a socialist state as a bulwark
- 27:18against capitalism. It's how they understand the state. It's like a counterpoint to
- 27:23the markets. Yeah, and he basically says, and once more, now
- 27:29midterm in our second term, talking about his own government, the same feeling
- 27:33is in the air again. Have we done enough? Are we radical enough?
- 27:37Right? So I think what we're seeing now with Blair running Starmer,
- 27:41essentially he's pulling the strings behind the scenes. We've demonstrated that, I think
- 27:45quite compellingly over the past several months in terms of what Blair has been up
- 27:51to, what his institute has been up to. They're now driving a radical
- 27:53agenda, radical neo Marxist agenda which ends up leading two places like this.
- 28:00This is radical enough for you, Tony Blair, Right, This is the
- 28:03S twenty one tor To chamber in pronomen Pen. This is Kahmaier Rouge who
- 28:07acted under the same ideological motivations that you're putting forward. Right, What about
- 28:12this one Palodomore. Three to six million people perished in Ukraine because of Stalin
- 28:19and his communist industrial policies and ideologies, an attack on the industrial base,
- 28:25the food supply, and ultimately on the population itself. This is not hyperbole,
- 28:30right. I believe that there is the distinct potential for an attack like
- 28:36that to be in the pipeline for us here in the UK. Why can
- 28:38I say that, Because people who are very close to the current labor government
- 28:42are being extraordinarily critical and aggressive towards the farmers for example. So this is
- 28:48from Dale Vince, who is a big time labor dona and eco millionaire.
- 28:55He's one of these people that Brian talks about that he's a rich guy,
- 29:00but he wears T shirts and jeans and talks with a slightly sort of working
- 29:06class accent and uses that as a way to disguise his methods and his intentions.
- 29:10And he's very much like a lot of people going after animal agriculture.
- 29:12They want to transform the food system. They're demanding government intervention in absolutely every
- 29:19area of society. There's Belvince himself. We can also see this in the
- 29:23Food Farming and Countryside Commission, which is the organization linked into Paul Polman,
- 29:29who I spoke about about a month or so ago. This is about delivering
- 29:33the SDGs and you can see there again they are calling for the government to
- 29:37act on food. The government should have no role whatsoever to play in the
- 29:42food system, and yet people close to the current serving government are saying that
- 29:48this state needs to enter into the food to Puy, absolutely madness. And
- 29:52it's not just food, it's also energy. Let's have a little listen to
- 29:56Ed Milliban. We're on a mission. It's going to be a great adventure.
- 30:00There are two parts for this mission twenty thirty clean power if you're like
- 30:04the north staff of the department, and accelerating to net zero, because both
- 30:10of them are sort of absolutely crucial and we've got responsibility for both of them.
- 30:12One of the Department's missions is to be bold on climate, on energy
- 30:15security, on jobs, on the cost of living crisis. You are my
- 30:18team, you are our team, and we need to be one team.
- 30:22I genuinely feel incredibly humbled to be working with you. Thanks so much.
- 30:30Easy to lampoon Aed miller Band, but I actually think he's an extraordinarily dangerous
- 30:36man, and he has his hands around the energy supply and the transformation of
- 30:41the core infrastructure that runs the nation. And what's his background. So we
- 30:45know that his father swore an oath at the graveside of Karl Marx to deliver
- 30:51the means of production back into the hands of the working people. Right,
- 30:53this is the lineage that we're talking about right at the top level of the
- 30:57labor party. And also bring the tortoise back into things. I said that
- 31:02the tortoise was the mascot of the Fabian society, and we've spoken a lot
- 31:07about tortoise media I believe that this is a direct reference to Fabianism. I
- 31:12believe that they are part of this communist takeover. It's run by this guy,
- 31:18James Harding, who's the editor in chief, and as we've spoken about
- 31:21earlier in the year, they work at Watersden House, which is owned by
- 31:26Yad Hannahdev, which is the Rothschild Foundation. Yad Hannahdev was there at the
- 31:30founding of Israel, built the Supreme Court in the Kinesse and actually, as
- 31:34it turns out, Lord Balfour himself of Balfour Declaration fame, was a member
- 31:41of the Fabian Society. This is what is sitting at the heart of this
- 31:45new labor government. Thank you, Ben, thank you for that. No,
- 31:48if you like what the UK colm does, you would like to support
- 31:52us. The place to go to support dot Ukkolum dot org. A membership
- 31:55is a favor a month and if you can possibly do that, it helps
- 31:57us out massively. I want to say massive thank you to everybody that has
- 32:01supported us in this way. You could help subvert the algorithm by sharing our
- 32:08material and so that we can deal with the censorship that we face on a
- 32:12daily business. UK coolun dot org and UK column extract so cool a to
- 32:15UK are the places to go for that and if you'd like to pick up
- 32:19something from the UK column shop, that would help massively as well. Debbie,
- 32:23Briefly, your blog is not up yet, but it will be later
- 32:27on today blockbuster or a blockbuster. I think it's going to be very interesting.
- 32:35We'll see something later on in the news that will link to it.
- 32:37But what is the Internet of medical things? Things cannot progress without it.
- 32:40And also an MHR update and a few revelations that you might not be aware
- 32:46of. Okay, thank you for that. And the interview at Branded with
- 32:52Michael Nels is on the website now. If you didn't see that, it's
- 32:54there for you to watch, please share that one as well. And Debbie
- 33:00John doin. Yeah, John Bodwin, I have to tell you that this
- 33:04is irrefutable evidence on excess deaths and vaccine injuries. We have never seen anything
- 33:09like this before. This is bombshell stuff. If you haven't seen the interview,
- 33:15please do go watch. And there is a part two coming up soon.
- 33:17Thank you, Debbie. And finally, a reminder of the date for
- 33:21your day, which is Saturday, the nineteenth of October twenty twenty four at
- 33:24a venue to be announced in Bristol, and we will have more details of
- 33:30this next week, so please keep that in mind. So where does that
- 33:35take us, Debbie? You were talking about water earlier on today, but
- 33:40over the last number of weeks you've been talking about desalination. So what's the
- 33:45latest on this? Well, yes, water, all change and again sustainable
- 33:51unsustainable you choose? Do you know what is coming out of your tap?
- 33:55I have asked so many people that question, and nobody as yet can give
- 33:59me a answer, apart from people saying fluoride, heavy metals, lithium question
- 34:06mark, So what is planned? What is in plain sight? And what
- 34:09is going on in our water industry? Because it is all change and if
- 34:13you live near the coast you'll be particularly interested in this. But already we
- 34:17know from the Financial Times that labor are planning a new regulator. Well,
- 34:22off, what do what is? What? I say? They want to
- 34:25combine off what the EA Environment Agency and the Drinking Water Inspector. I don't
- 34:31see any inclusion of consumer counts of water, but hey, what do I
- 34:37know? So we're getting a new regulator and we all know what we think
- 34:39of regulators. But everybody is interested in desalination. You might not have heard
- 34:45anyone else reporting about this, but as we'll come to see, it's a
- 34:49bigger genda. Let's listen to what Elon Musk has got to say. Look,
- 34:54I'm not just in complacency. We do when we're to a sustainable energy
- 34:59economy as quickly as possible. But we're not in any danger of resource collapse.
- 35:05But lots of people don't have enough food or water water. We will
- 35:08run out of water out We're running out of sand. Now there's earth of
- 35:14seventy percent water by surface area, but you can't drink that. Desalination is
- 35:19absurdly cheap. Why don't we do it? Then we do? It?
- 35:22Is done, you have a lot of free time. It has done cheap?
- 35:29Is it? Elon? Well, we'll come to see. And I
- 35:30would last like to say that cornwall where I live is not water pool.
- 35:35We have so much water we don't know what to do with it. But
- 35:37what is desalination? So here's a little diagram to show you what desalination is.
- 35:43Basically, it's removing the salt from seawater to turn it into drinking water.
- 35:47Or is it? Because it's a big industry. As we'll come to
- 35:51see. Grand View Research have valued the global water desalination equipment market at staggering
- 35:59fifteenzero point five billion dollars, and that was in twenty twenty two. But
- 36:02who else is involved in this agenda? Well, I'm this is really the
- 36:06tip of the iceberg. So let's go through them really quickly. So we've
- 36:09got the WEF desalination, We've got the World Bank desalination, we've got the
- 36:15United States Geological Survey desalination, We've got the World Health Organization desalination. We've
- 36:23even got Chatham House desalination. So this is a massively big business. Now,
- 36:31I found an article from Waterless called Good, Troublesome and the Future,
- 36:37and it seems to be that what they're saying as you go deeper into the
- 36:42article is that the pros they're looking at Israel as having the most advanced technology
- 36:46and they have twenty percent more water than it needs. And you might remember
- 36:51Vanessa's comments on Wednesday with regards to where Israel get their water or leave Vanessa
- 36:57to comment more on that, but the cons are that it's very energy consuming.
- 37:00You need electricity, petroleum or natural gas to power them. They're costly
- 37:05to operate and construct. You need miles of power lines for remote areas,
- 37:09and effluent brine is harmful for waterways, but they want solar and wind and
- 37:15geothermal of course to power them. There's also even an International Desalient, Salination
- 37:23and Reuse Association and they're called the IDRA. They were founded in nineteen seventy
- 37:30three. They're recognized by the United Nations and they've got a conference coming up
- 37:36or a congress coming up in Abu Dhabi in December. So again this is
- 37:39a massive agenda. But what's happening in the UK. What do the UK
- 37:44say about desalination? Well, the government are very keen in desalination and they
- 37:49say that between twenty twenty five and twenty fifty we're going to need three point
- 37:52four billion more additional liters a day, so they're going to be developing new
- 37:58reservoirs and desalination. But then I went to look at the Financial Times,
- 38:02who have just brought out an article on the wave of Innovation which aims to
- 38:07make desalination sustainable. Now they say that already Southwest Water, which is my
- 38:14water company, have a desalination plant in the aisles of Silly Thames Water also
- 38:19have one, but because of the energy needed to generate, they don't use
- 38:24it anymore. It's not operating. So then let's look at the national framework
- 38:30from the Environment Agency, because they've got a lot to do with water preservation
- 38:37and drought, and they say that the Southeast are pretty much desperate for water,
- 38:43and because the West Country has plenty of water, why don't we just
- 38:46move it from the Southwest to the southeast. I'll let you read that document
- 38:51in full, but you'll see there that it involves moving, as does the
- 38:54next slide where you can see a map of England and you can see the
- 38:59bottom box is the West Country and we have only moderate pressure on our water
- 39:05resources, so therefore it makes sense to potentially transfer to other areas, which
- 39:09is very expensive. But I believe there are other reasons as well, darker
- 39:14reasons, and I'm going to explore those now. Because Southwest Water say that
- 39:19their reservoirs are nearly full, so this is really good news. However,
- 39:24we have been pointed a drought director, and the drought director's name is David
- 39:30Harris, and he's very pleased that the February was the wettest on record.
- 39:36The BBC are reporting that Cornwall will provide desalination, will provide a third of
- 39:43the county's water. But there is a lot of resistance. And I joined
- 39:47the protest group one day on the beach and the protest group we were waiting
- 39:52for fergle SHARKI but shame on him, he didn't turn up. We all
- 39:57got blown to bits, but he didn't turn up. But they're very concerned,
- 40:00obviously with the desalination effects in our area and sewage. So what does
- 40:06Southwest Water say, why do we need desalination? Well, apparently most of
- 40:09our water comes from rivers and reservoirs, and yeah, well our reservoirs have
- 40:15plenty of water. But then they say they're empty. But where's the water
- 40:17going tourists? Climate change is what they're saying. Well, I've got other
- 40:22ideas as to where the water might go. So in my area we have
- 40:28been told that we are going to be the first desalination plant. That's really
- 40:32appropriate because obviously it pricked my interest and I wanted to know what effect this
- 40:37would have on the local community. And I got an invite. I got
- 40:40an invite to the public consultation and here's a copy of the letter and it
- 40:45told me that I was going to see specialist project team to bring my questions.
- 40:51And this is David Harris. He's an Australian and he is the Drought
- 40:54Resilience Director, so I was really looking forward to seeing him. I am
- 41:00going to say very quickly, and I'm going to read off my little list
- 41:04here, because when I went to the meeting, I had to register to
- 41:08go to the meeting. I wanted to see David Harris. But apparently David
- 41:13Harris was on annual leave because he's been very busy managing the cryptos buridium incident
- 41:17and he's very tired, so sadly he couldn't be at the consultation. There
- 41:22wasn't really anybody in charge at the consultation. We are the second wettest county
- 41:29in England, so I struggled to see why we're in drought and I think
- 41:32it's probably all a bit of a lie. And I went to the meeting
- 41:37but nobody from Southwest Water had their name badges on and when I asked them
- 41:40their names, they refused to give me their name or their position. And
- 41:45the questions that I wanted to ask, I was told I couldn't now just
- 41:50a few quotes from the meeting. When I asked a name, I was
- 41:54told no, I wasn't going to be given a name because he got unpleasant
- 41:58emails sent to his email address afterwards. He wasn't happy to give me his
- 42:02surname because of traffic. And when I asked him about British lithium, which
- 42:07I'll come on to in a minute, he says he has nothing to do
- 42:09Southwest Water. Have nothing to do with the British lithium, not part of
- 42:14the remit, no knowledge about it, can't answer any questions. When I
- 42:17asked if we were in a drought, I was told not today. And
- 42:21when I spoke to the press officer and asked him for an interview for UK
- 42:24column, I was told that I wasn't allowed to film and that if the
- 42:29BBC had been there it would be different. So I wanted to know the
- 42:32connection between Imeri's and Southwest Water because Imeris have land where the desalination plant is
- 42:42going to be placed, and here we can see Imeris are very hot on
- 42:47water treatment. But who are Imeri's. Let's look back in history at who
- 42:52are Imeri's, Because believe it or not, I Marise started in eighteen eighty
- 42:55by the Rothschilds. Would you believe isn't it funny how that name keeps popping
- 42:59up up. They combined a metals and mining company and I don't know how
- 43:04to pronounce this. I do apologize Penaroa, I think it's called and its
- 43:07course now become Imeri's. So I'm living in par and I went down to
- 43:15Imeri's to par docs and I did a very short little video just to show
- 43:19you the close proximity of Imeri's and Southwest Water and where they want to build
- 43:23the desalination plant. Let's have a quick look. And this is again w
- 43:29Evans from UK column and I'm at Imeri's. Imeri's docs big just right for
- 43:38a desalination plant, a ecobob's boss creating sustainable communities. And as we can
- 43:49see, if I swerve around, you can see that there is Southwest Water's
- 43:54pumping station right there, right next door to im Mari's. How convenience.
- 44:02Oh and the sewage treatment work that's just underneath that bridge. I'm working with
- 44:14you with the sewage treatment works. And there is an electricity substation right next
- 44:17to Southwest Waters pumping station. So it's in very close proximity. So then
- 44:22I was very interested to find that I Maris have partnered up with no other
- 44:25than British Lithium. Have a look at this little bit of video. I
- 44:30really see only advantages in this partnership. We will need the support of the
- 44:37people, the authorities, local and regional. Imri's is very important to the
- 44:43Listing Ministry of the UK. They have an unrivaled land position here. This
- 44:47is a mess of undertaking. The evolves a wide range of risks of different
- 44:52types, but we believe between us we know how to overcome those risks and
- 44:57make this project a reality. But the great thing about is the world understands
- 45:01the need for it and that it's a solution for pressing climate emergency. Governments
- 45:07around the world are united in bringing about electrification, renewable power, electric vehicles
- 45:14to reduce emissions, and we're lucky to have joined us today at a number
- 45:17of senior civil servants from the UK government to hear the policies that they've put
- 45:23in place. They have brought about a critical mineral strategy and other funding initiatives.
- 45:30To thank Emergency's government through these organs for the support they gave when we
- 45:35found this deposit. There's no known means of extracting in an environmentally sustainable way.
- 45:42We had to develop such a thing. And so that was just a
- 45:45little bit. And if you want to go and have a little look at
- 45:47more and British Lithium CEO speaking, then please do. It's on YouTube.
- 45:52So lithium needs a lot of water. Here's just a screenshot just to tie
- 45:58up that little bit there of this huge partnership between British lithium. But I've
- 46:02also been looking at academic papers because lithium needs a lot of water, a
- 46:07lot of water. And here we go lithium recovery from brine seawater desalination concentrates.
- 46:14So who is this desalination plant for and where is our water going to?
- 46:17Our Southwest Water? Imeris British Lithium and someone else? What will come
- 46:22to in a minute Violia Are they all stealing our water? Because Southwest Water
- 46:29have announced that they're joining forces with Violia and Violia are a huge French company
- 46:36and let's see what Violia are into. And interesting to see that Violia also
- 46:40support the lithium industry. So this is all tying up very nicely, isn't
- 46:44it, Because we have plenty of water down here, but they don't seem
- 46:47to think that we do. And what I want to know is how much
- 46:51water is going from our resources to British lithium and also the contamination. You
- 46:57know, what kind of leakage are we going to get because lithium is actually
- 47:00very dangerous, and it is they're talking about adding it to water to prevent
- 47:07suicide. And many people may know that if you have bipolar manic depression,
- 47:10many people are medicated by lithium and it's very dangerous. So a drought.
- 47:16We're in a drought. And ironically, one hour after being pretty much kicked
- 47:21out of the meeting, I flooded. And those are my feet just to
- 47:24show you the depth of the water. That's my road. And I've got
- 47:29a very short video just to illustrate what we go through and I'll talk you
- 47:32through it. So this is a flood of my road. This took three
- 47:37minutes of heavy rain, monsoon rain. The reason I am standing in the
- 47:40middle of the road is I am trying to stop the traffic from going through
- 47:45because every time the traffic goes through, they create a huge bow wave that's
- 47:51my hand. You'll see me waving no, don't please come through, because
- 47:54every time a car comes through, it creates a massive bow wave that floods
- 48:00our homes even more than they're already flooded. There are also open manholes underneath
- 48:05that water that is dangerous for cars. This is sewage water. I'm trying
- 48:09to protect our homes. I'd like to say to all motorists that abused me,
- 48:13shouted at me, threatened me, stuck their fingers at me, and
- 48:16tried to run me over, I'm trying to protect you, but I'm also
- 48:21trying to protect our homes. So are we in a drought? Is desalination
- 48:25a scam? Is it for real? You decide? But there'll be plenty
- 48:30more on desalination in the future. Debbie, thank you very much for that.
- 48:35Now. The other news that was sort of breaking as we were preparing
- 48:39for the news this morning was this massive IT addage globally. So who's been
- 48:45responsible for that? Well, it's this organization CrowdStrike, who are apparently one
- 48:51of these cybersecurity firms similar to the ones we were talking about the other day.
- 48:54There's so much sponsored by unit early two hundred from Israel, Now this
- 48:59one not sponsored by eighty two hundred from Israel, but they are funded by
- 49:04a former FBI agent, so the connection back to the intelligence agencies again.
- 49:09So CrowdStrike a cybersecurity firm that are providing services to many third party companies,
- 49:16and apparently what they've done is they've rolled out an update and that update has
- 49:22broken windows machines just about everywhere, and well including in the health service.
- 49:29I know, Debbie, well, we can talk about this later and extra,
- 49:31but the majority of GP practices affected by this. So I slightly edited
- 49:37the question slide from the Unit eighty two hundred presentation just to ask a single
- 49:44question this time, what is the true nature of the symbiotic relationship between cyber
- 49:49warfare and cyber defense? Because, as I say, although this company is
- 49:54not is really backed, it is related to the FBI. And my question
- 50:00really is here was this a rehearsal for a future Internet shutdown? And of
- 50:04course I've got no evidence for that at all, But the Internet and all
- 50:07the services which sit on it are being increasingly centralized. The off switch is
- 50:13apparently easy to press, and my question is would it not be more sensible
- 50:17if we want to have resilience to decentralize and move back to decentralized architecture.
- 50:23People may have an opinion on this, but just to understand what's happened here.
- 50:29You know, what we're talking about is something has been placed in the
- 50:35critical path for critical infrastructure and then was set to automatically update. And when
- 50:40they rolled out an automatic update across the world, that has shut down Windows
- 50:45computers right across the world. It's affected Microsoft as Your Cloud platform and of
- 50:51course many many companies using the as Your Cloud platform to run their systems.
- 50:57But the other thing to note about CrowdStrike is that they have been the people
- 51:01behind many of the accusations against Russia and China with respect to cyber attacks and
- 51:07so on. But unfortunately, going back a number of years now, they
- 51:14were discovered to have misread the data, shall we say, with respect to
- 51:19this particular Russian hacking charge that they were making at the time, So not
- 51:23the best reputation. And now we have the situation where they are effectively causing
- 51:30the shutdown of systems which are resulting in travel being canceled, GP surgeries not
- 51:38able to function, and a whole host of other banks and a whole host
- 51:44of other infrastructure not able to function. I think we need to be questioning
- 51:46the types of people that are running our critical infrastructure and the architecture of that
- 51:52infrastructure. Okay, let's move on and back to you, Ben, sorry
- 52:00and sort of find the right button there. Sure thing. So we're going
- 52:04to have a little look at what's going on in the NHS and some interesting
- 52:10individuals who've come across my path over the past couple of weeks that I wanted
- 52:14to just flag up. So the first one is this fella, Professor Mark
- 52:19Britnell, and he is quite a serious person when it comes to UK healthcare.
- 52:24He spent twenty years in the NHS and the start of his career rising
- 52:29to Director General of the Department of Health and was also a member of the
- 52:34NHS Management Board up until two thousand and seven two thousand and nine, so
- 52:39that was been under both Tory and Labor governments that he was working. He
- 52:45then spent thirteen years and three months at Hang in a minute there, it
- 52:52is fantastic thirteen years and three months of KPMG where he worked in eighty one
- 52:59country. He's on four hundred and forty separate projects with teams delivering strategy policy
- 53:06operations for public private sector healthcare, and he actually grew that to the point
- 53:13where healthcare became twenty two percent of total global revenues with fifty five thousand staff
- 53:21working across one hundred and forty five countries for KPMG. A really, really
- 53:25serious global healthcare guy. He's also now a member of the board of Trustees
- 53:31at the Kings Fund, which is one of the primary advisors and thinks tanks
- 53:35inside the NHS or link to the NHS. And he is also the professor
- 53:39at the Global Business School for Health at ucl OH. Makes me shudder when
- 53:45I hear those words together, business and health in the current context, really
- 53:50bad news. Now. I came across this guy because someone shared or someone
- 53:54commented on that I'm connected to this post. This is one of the things
- 53:59I about LinkedIn is these sort of interconnections that you can find. And he
- 54:04put this post up saying that it was great to catch up with his good
- 54:07friend of thirty years, Sir Julian Hartley. He had the pleasure of establishing
- 54:13NHS Providers twenty years ago, which was originally called the NHS Foundation Trust Network,
- 54:19of which Julian is now the CEO. We talked about a wide variety
- 54:22of issues, including the productivity puzzle in healthcare. Now accounting for forty three
- 54:27percent of all governments spend, up from twenty six percent in nineteen ninety nine.
- 54:31Health must help power economic growth, which in turn will produce more tax
- 54:37receipts for further investment, a virtuous circle. Indeed, this is the argument
- 54:40that we're hearing. We heard it from West streeting last week at the Blair
- 54:44Foundation, and we're starting to see this crop up absolutely everywhere else. They're
- 54:47going to start asking for more and more money to be put into the health
- 54:52service on the basis that they've created some models that tell us that if you
- 54:57put in a pound, you get ten pounds back. Right, doesn't work
- 55:00like that at all. The ideal budget for the health system would be zero.
- 55:05Yeah, not putting more and more money in, particularly not given what
- 55:08we've seen them do over the past four years. And we already know that
- 55:13they have one hundred and ninety five billion. This is him crowing about scale
- 55:16of this market. We can get this back behind screen quickly. I We're
- 55:20going to look at that final paragraph. Yeah, So harnessing the one hundred
- 55:23and ninety five billion spend across the NHS. Unprecedented amount of money. You're
- 55:29talking about hundreds about three hundred and fifty four hundred pounds per month per taxpayer.
- 55:35Right, this is the kind of budget that we're talking about. One
- 55:37point five million people employed, and it's going to be mission critical for economic
- 55:42growth across the UK. And these two people, with their long and storied
- 55:46and illustrious careers in public and private healthcare are getting together to talk about the
- 55:52future of the NHS. And I would love to have been a fly on
- 55:55the wall in that conversation. So too with Rich Colbridge, Director General at
- 56:00the Department of the Working Pensions, responsible for digitization of the DWP, probably
- 56:06working with Tony Blair. We talked about the DWP and Blair program last week,
- 56:10who I have actually met a couple of times and he seems to have
- 56:14unfriended me on LinkedIn. I can't imagine why that might be anyway. Julian
- 56:19Hartley, So we've talked about the professor at UCL, the former KPMG guide.
- 56:22Let's have a little quick look at Julian Hartley because to me, we
- 56:25talk about public private partnership. This is where it really happens. Yeah,
- 56:29you're talking about two individuals, one in the NHS, one in the private
- 56:32sector, longtime friends, longtime collaborators, talking about how they're going to stitch
- 56:37up the future of a two hundred billion pound captive marketplace, which is our
- 56:42health service. Right, this is how they talk about it. So what's
- 56:45Julian Hartley up to? So he is the chief executive or actually I actually
- 56:50say sir Julian Hartley as well, by the way, right, this is
- 56:52a guy at the top level of the establishment. He's the chief executive of
- 56:55NHS providers. It describes himself as a membership organization for the NHS hospital,
- 57:00mental health, community and ambulance services. I mentioned this organization to someone contact
- 57:06of Mind Superintelligence, and he basically said that it was part of the dismantling
- 57:10from the inside process. When the NHS Foundation Trust Network was introduced back in
- 57:15two thousand and four, that was part of the dismantling of the NHS from
- 57:21the inside. It was part of the public Private Initiative agenda turning individual hospitals
- 57:25into small businesses so that they could raise capital, sell off assets, do
- 57:30all those things that states should not be doing with public assets. Right,
- 57:35and this these two gentlemen sit right in the heart of it, and apparently
- 57:39they're in London to celebrate between the King's speech and the agenda for the future
- 57:45of the health system is also this guy Bruh, neo Marxist. Is this
- 57:52video of him talking about White ally ship on which no one in the health
- 57:58system should be talking about this. I've talked about healthcare, talk about patients.
- 58:01Just leave this neo Marxist doctune behind, please, for the sake of
- 58:06absolutely everybody, we know that these public private marketplaces don't work. They deliver
- 58:10absolutely no value at all, apart from to the people who were scamming them.
- 58:15The actual the Blair PPI scheme, the one that they're referencing, we
- 58:19know now in hindsight cost three hundred billion pounds or thereabouts for infrastructure projects with
- 58:24the value of about fifty five billion. Yeah, so we paid six times
- 58:29over the odds because of public private partnerships. And that's what they placed right
- 58:35at the heart of the future plans for the health system. All of this
- 58:38is a continuation of the build back Better life sciences vision that was set out
- 58:44by Boris Johnson. It's exactly the same agenda. Nothing about it has changed
- 58:47at all. And what's that going to deliver for? It's going to deliver
- 58:51for big barmceuital companies. This. I've shown this photo a few times,
- 58:55Yeah, and I've spoken about Starmer and Georgia Gould in the context. The
- 59:00fellow on the right there is Tom Keith Roach. He runs Astrasenica in the
- 59:04UK, and he's been very excited over the past couple of weeks because he
- 59:08can see that West Streeting and the Department for Health are on a mission to
- 59:13bring closer unity between the way Life Sciences and the NHS collaborate. Their ambition
- 59:19at Astrasenica is to bring twenty medicines to market by twenty twenty, by twenty
- 59:24thirty. In this country. Their COVID vaccine was removed from the market because
- 59:30it killed nearly one thousand people, and yet they're hanging around with Keir Starmer
- 59:34and talking about putting twenty more novel medicines into the market by twenty thirty.
- 59:38And actually when they talk about economic performance in the health service, this is
- 59:43a lot of what it's about. It's shareholder returns for UKPLC aka the big
- 59:49pharmaceutical companies, and they do that by introducing ridiculous as we've seen with covid
- 59:54pandemics. But also I just received this job specification from the Welcome Trust talking
- 59:59of about becoming a strategic Engagement Advisor at the International Pandemic Preparedness Secretariat. Very
- 1:00:06high faluting name. And basically what's that about. It's about the one hundred
- 1:00:09days mission. It's been agreed by the G seven, which says that in
- 1:00:14the first days of a pandemic threat being realized, the following interventions should be
- 1:00:19in place. Accurate and approved, rapid point of care diagnostic kits. Yes,
- 1:00:23so big market in testing, an initial regiment of therapeutics, so big
- 1:00:29market in therapeutics, and vaccines ready to be produced at scale for global deployment
- 1:00:37within one hundred days in the context of this public private marketplace, the labor
- 1:00:43party, and he's perfectly happy to stand behind and welcome as we know run
- 1:00:47until very recently, I think it was last year by this fellow Jeremy Farrer,
- 1:00:52author of Spike that his book about the pandemic. You can see what
- 1:00:55he thinks about it, and actually I think he might. You were saying
- 1:00:58earlier he left say because it wasn't aggressive enough in pushing the lockdowns, and
- 1:01:02Farah is now at the World Health Organization trying to drum up the next pandemic.
- 1:01:07Let's have a little listen. The current outbreak for want of a better
- 1:01:14word, in America amongst cows is really concerning as well, and also talks
- 1:01:19to this issue of transmission. We have to understand in those cow settings.
- 1:01:24It sheds how H five M one is transmitting because it may be learning,
- 1:01:30not learning, evolving into transmitting in different ways. Do the milking structures of
- 1:01:36cows create aerosols? Is it the environment which they're living in? Is it
- 1:01:43the transport system that is spreading this around the country. So this is a
- 1:01:46huge concern and I think we have to watch more than watch. We have
- 1:01:52to make sure that if H five N one did come across to humans with
- 1:01:55human human transmission, that we were in a position to immediately respond with access
- 1:02:01equitably to vaccine's therapeutics and diagnostics. The health system is in trouble, yes,
- 1:02:12and we will talk a bit more about that an extra as well.
- 1:02:15And Debbie, just to finish off, you have a little bit of video
- 1:02:16for us I do and this was seven years ago. This is Klaus Schwab.
- 1:02:23He's talking to Sergey Brinn, who is the co creator of Google,
- 1:02:28and just want to remind people of what he said would happen in ten years.
- 1:02:31Bearing in mind that this was seven years ago and for everybody read my
- 1:02:36blog, it's very relevant. Have a look at this video, so big
- 1:02:40date Ditrial tools at the service of medical and biological progress and advancing very fast.
- 1:02:51But can you imagine that in ten years when we are sitting here we
- 1:02:55have an implanted in our brains and I can immediately feel, because you all
- 1:03:02will have implans I can and we measure you your brain waves, and I
- 1:03:08can immediately tell you how some people react or I can feel. Yes,
- 1:03:15well that's a very prescient perhaps, but we'll talk about that an extra as
- 1:03:20well. So Debbie, thank you very much for that. Thank you to
- 1:03:22everybody that's joined us today. Thanks to Ben and Debbie for contributions. We
- 1:03:27will see in a few minutes if your UK call a member for extra.
- 1:03:30Otherwise, hope you have a great weekend and we'll see you Monday at one
- 1:03:34pm as usual
