  Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the two December twenty twenty four,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK Column News. I'm
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your hopest Frank Irish delighted to have Ben Rubin here
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with me in the studio. Welcome Ben, and also we
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: are being joined by Diane Rasmusen macaddie the live link
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of course from north of the border in Scotland. I'm
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: looking at the backdrop and thinking it wasn't quite like
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that a few minutes ago because it was very dark
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and pouring with rain. But maybe sun is shining on
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: UK Column today. Now we're in a very interesting situation
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in the country. In the world, death and destruction, chaos
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and breakdown it is everywhere, and of course the horrific
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. UK Government pumping
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in weapons to keep that battle going until we can
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: get hold of the twenty seven trillion in resources, mineral
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: reserves etc. In Ukraine. But a key thing for our
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: audience and one that we'd like to push is what
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: exactly is the UK government? The same argument could be well,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the same question could be asked to the US government,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: but focusing on who says they're part of the government
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and what they say is a key part of understanding
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: what's going on around us, and that's a key part
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of doing something about it. So let's start off with
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a video clip of David Lammy and he was in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a foreign Wealth Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office committee meeting
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: where he was asked certain questions. Let's listen to what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: he said.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I am in the end. You know, my ancestors were
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: slaves and I don't run away from that fact.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: That is a fact.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It was a terrible time. I'm very proud to have
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: been part of the government under Tony Blair where we
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: commemorated the abolition of the slave trade, the tremendous work
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: done by people like Wilberforce and the City of Hull,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the working places like Liverpool and Bristol, the campaigns ordinary
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: people across this country fighting to end that terrible, terrible moment.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: But at this point in time we now look forward,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: we look to the future, we look to hope and possibility.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: With those countries, there's much that we can do together.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Climate finance is the center of that. I was very
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: pleased to be with me and Motley just a few
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: days ago on a platform a cop on these issues
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: is the future. I think that we should keep in mind,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: not not payments of the kind that I saw in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the papers. But we're not racing me by any leader
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that I met, and I'm afraid the British government are
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: very clear on we cannot do.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: So.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: To our viewers and listeners today, did you get it?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: What was he talking about? You might have thought it
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: was slavery, but actually towards the end of the clip, no,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what's he talking He's talking about cop and climate change.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And that's because the climate change agenda is the driving
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: agenda for every single thing that's happening. So slavery, we
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: might say to David Lammy, for goodness sake, get over it, man,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: but what's the real undertone. It's the climate Let's listen
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to him talking in this second clip.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: We've been leading a review into the soft power impacts
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: on BBC World Service and I've asked every person who's
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: attended this same question, including Sir Sir Philip Barton. We've
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: discussed recently about the closure of BBC Arabia Radio. This
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: same frequency has now been taken over by Russia today
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: and we've had examples where BBC broadcasts and previous channels
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: that they've broadcast on the frequencies have been bought either
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: by Russia today by SPARTANIK or Chinese state radio. Media
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: experts have called it a disaster for the region, with
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: no fair or impartial news being made available. They've said
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: it was a trusted source and there's no longer any
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: impartial news.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Do you think that future.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Assessments of funding for the World Service should consider the
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: impact on international and national security and the impact on
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: disinformation in our world?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do. Look, I think if you let's be
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: absolutely crystal clear about this. In the tough geopolitical environment
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that I outlined, I am worried about the emerging axis
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: between country like Russia, Iran and the DPRK. We tend
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: rightly in this committee, no doubt, will be very focused
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: on the hard power and some of the challenges we
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: have with war and conflict particularly, and that will dominate
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: much of your time, I suspect over the course of
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: this Parliament. But if we think back to the Cold
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: War period, it was also the case that we had
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to win the battle of hearts and minds, and we
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: all know in the end, you don't get changed solely
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: through hard power soft power is important. And if it
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: is the case that the British language or the work
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of the bb TO World Service is receding and other
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: countries are stepping in, then I'm afraid I don't think
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: we're living up to generations of the past. So I
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: was pleased to be able to secure the extra funding
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: or the uplift of thirty two point six million in
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the last spending review to ensure that we weren't in
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a position where the BBC World Service was having to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: close language services. And I'm grateful to the representations that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the BBC made and I'm grateful to the Treasury for
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: understanding that case. But I do believe the basis of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: your question is entirely right.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: So my going to see he's telling us so much there. Basically,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the UK hard and soft power bases beginning to fall apart.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: The BBC World Service not able to spread its propaganda,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: so we've got to get more money in. No money
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: for heating and for elderly people in UK, but get
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the money into the propaganda for the BBC so that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we can exert hard and soft power propaganda to control
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: as much of the world as possible. You can't make
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this stuff up. You don't have to because he's telling you.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Let's just bring Juliet Harkin on screen. Because bb Sorry,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the UK column unique in calling out BBC Media Action,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the BBC's charity that was boasting that in two thousand
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and four it was working inside Syria to help people
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: who were essentially fermenting war. The BBC called them Change,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: called them change agents for what they were really doing
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was fermenting war in Syria. And look at the bloodshed
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that's erupted. Now, how can we understand what's really happening? Well,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't think in two thousand. Sorry, in twenty twenty four,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I'd be thanking Dominic Cummings for telling us something about
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: how the system works. Let's listen to what he said.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Incredible the person in the So if you think of
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: two worlds, right, foreign Secretary in Great Britain and the
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: private Secretary in the PM's Office responsible for foreign affairs,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: an official whose name has never been in the newspapers,
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: that person was like ten times more powerful and important
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: than the Secretary of State was. And I think this
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: is something which people just don't really realize, and it's
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: part of like how the whole system has become fake.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: So we have fake meritocracy, fake responsibility and then fake
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: cabinet government. So they all walk up Downing Street the
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: cameras were they post. They smile, ha hard, I'm going
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: into the most powerful meeting, are I great? But it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: all nonsense. The cabinet is just a kind of stage
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: theater and actually officials in the Cabinet Office have already
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: decided it all when you sit in Whitehall now, in
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: meetings they are literally scripted. So when the Prime Minister
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: has a meeting with ministers, what happens is that before
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: the Primer has that meeting, officials go into primister Study
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: and they give them a folder. And in the folder
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: at the front is a thing called Chairman's Notes, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: that's the script, and that's what the Prime Minister reads out,
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: and the conclusions of the meeting are in the Chairman's Notes,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: drafted before the meeting happens, right, So the Prime Minister
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: says hello State, blah blah blah, and then all these
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: officials sit around the sides, on chairs, around the around
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: on the edge of the room, and then the MP
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: the Secretary of State all look down at their folders
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: because they've all got their scripts right. And it's this
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: is why I use the NPC meme right, because then
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: the Prime Minister reads out, well here we're here to
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: discuss blah blah. Then he goes round the room, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: then Secretary of State for Justice or the Foreign Secretary
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: reads out his bullet points, and then he reads out
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: there bullet points and if anyone goes on script, you
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: see the official sort of go and then look over
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: at the own official inside of the room.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: We're of.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: That means we'll come back to that after the meeting
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: and make sure that that doesn't happen. And then at
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: the end, a fascinating, great discussion, thank you so much
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: for a wonderful insight, for original contributions, and then he
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: reads out the conclusions. We're all drafted in advance. And
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: it sounds like a parody, but it is literally how
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: the British state functions. And and the MP's are happy
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: with that, right, well, how does the psychology of it work?
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: The officials are happy because they have almost all the
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: real power. The Cabinet secretary is now one hundred times
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: more powerful than any cabinet minister apart from the pan
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: and the MP's are happy because the soul system pretends
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: that they're in charge. So both sides are basically happy
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: with the with the with the fake version of the government.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Well there we are. That was very clear and concise.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: We may not agree with him on many other subjects,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: but was he exposing how the real system works. It's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a fake system. The MPs have got no clue as
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to what's going on. They just do as they are
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: told and others control all things. Now, before I move on,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I'd just like to say a big thank you to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Boud the BBC for putting that clip up because that's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: where I discovered it, So thank you to them. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: then I'm just going to also say pay attention to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this sort of thing because this is what Cummings is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: really talking about the power of others in government. You
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: can and the World Economic Forum to lead regulation revolution
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to foster industries of the future. So basically, in January
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, here we had the World Economic Forum. Who
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the hell are they being brought in in order to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: work with the government to oversee regulation that means control
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of industries in the future. And if we want to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: see other people in action, who we're not even sure
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: what they are. Are they politicians or are they enablers
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: or are they tools of the World Economic Forum. Let's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: just watch twenty seconds of Boris Johnson in action.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: Well, Boris Johnson, you are one of the most requested
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: guests for Ukraine the Latest and here at the Telegraph,
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: so it's a real pleasure to be here.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you for having me on your fabled
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: podcast fast.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: Well, thank you. And I think it probably makes sense
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: to begin with Donald Trump and his election. You were
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: one of the earliest backers of Trump. We've seen some
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: of his appointments made in it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll save you that. But what does that man
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: look like? At least the Telegraph interviewer has reasonably presented,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Boris Johnson. How can we describe him a slob? I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: think would be the word from the nineteen seventies, at
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: least utter disgrace. What did he want? More weapons, more
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: war in Ukraine in order that we his regime can
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: grab those resources. And let's end with Joe Biden, who
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the Atlantic, really sets the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: scene because of course he's saying, I'm going to use
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: my power to ensure that nobody is above the law.
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: This nation was founded on the principle that there are
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: no kings in America. Each of us is equal before
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: the law. No one, no one is above the law,
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: not even the President of the United States.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: So that's why he's pardoning his son, of course, because
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: nobody is above the law. We've got to move on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: from there. But a snapshot of the fact that if
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you believe you live in a democracy in UK, in
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the United States in twenty twenty four, sadly mistaken, we
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: have to get the lid off the people who are
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in control. And I think Ben, you're going to start
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to take us into that murky pond.
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: More fake things, thank you, Brian. So we're going to
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: fake government, fake justice system.
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: What else do we need?
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: We need a fake youth movement to vote the fake
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: politicians into power.
• 14:03
  Speaker 11: Let's find out about my life My Say. My Life
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: I Say is all about trying to encourage the young.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: People to put spain mockting politics.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: There are more than nine million people currently in this
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: kind ofgory who aren't risk the fault.
• 14:16
  Speaker 11: And a significant proportion of that is young people.
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: And we're trying to really empower and give you the
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: skills to essentially be leaders in your communities.
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: I know what it feels like to be passionate about
• 14:25
  Speaker 12: issues and not always have your voice, hearns. We want
• 14:28
  Speaker 12: every young person in the UK to have an opportunity
• 14:31
  Speaker 12: to influence the decisions.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: That affect them.
• 14:33
  Speaker 12: For us, it's not just about the opportunity to vote
• 14:36
  Speaker 12: and to participate in elections. It's about the wider issues
• 14:39
  Speaker 12: that young people really care about, and it's absolutely fantastic
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: to have an organization might at the boy Shop support.
• 14:44
  Speaker 12: Seventy one percent of young people felt that political parties
• 14:47
  Speaker 12: and candidates didn't speak directly to young people in the
• 14:50
  Speaker 12: lead up to elections. Seventy six percent believe the voting
• 14:54
  Speaker 12: age and the iligibility around that should be the same
• 14:57
  Speaker 12: across all UK elections. Half of young people in the
• 15:00
  Speaker 12: UK believe that actually there weren't enough opportunities to learn
• 15:04
  Speaker 12: about politics. Young people really need to be involved.
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: My life might say, an organic grassroots youth movement sponsored
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: by the body Shop, and not just the body Shop,
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: the whole cornycopia of international corporations, but more interestingly a
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: bunch of political groups as well. We've got Chatham House
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: in there, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. The
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: City of London got involved this year. Actually they were
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: backing My Life. My Say is next Gen event which
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: took place on the twenty second of November, which we're
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: going to talk about this afternoon.
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: Who else is in the mix?
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: The National Lottery Community Fund, the Duke of Edinburgh a
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: ward of course, the royal family are in there, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: also the US State Department, which for my money actually
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: means that My Life might say, announced to election interference
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: on behalf of the US government. So this is a
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: whole bunch of corporate and philanthropic money trying to deliver
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: a set of very specific outcomes desired by the establishment.
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: And we've talked about them a lot over the past
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: twelve months. They're in extremely important and influential movement in
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: the UK politics. That goes without saying, to be honest
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: with you, if you look at the number of people
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: circulating around them. We're going to take you through the
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: Next Gen event which happened, as I said, on the
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: twenty second of November, was hosted by this guy, Jermaine Jackman,
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: who is a singer, songwriter and activist. I spose we're
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: going to see lots of this today. TV personality and activist,
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: social media influencer and activist. They're all activists. And he
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: opened up by saying, welcome to next Gen twenty four.
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: I'm old enough to remember it being called Common Futures Forum.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: I'm also old.
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: Enough to remember that, Jamain, and you've changed the name.
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: But I just wanted to get that in up front.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: That word common common agenda, un language, common purpose. This
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: is what we're looking at here. I think what else is?
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: He go on to say in his opening remarks, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: like causing trouble. In order to create change, you have
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: to cause trouble. You need to be a radical. And
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: you can see on his jumper there we don't do ordinary.
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: We're different with the young generation. We come here to
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: shake things up. And this runs through absolutely everything. So
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: who are the key trouble makers. We've got these two militia,
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: John and Dan Laws.
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: They are co.
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: CEO and I'm starting to see this a lot. Actually,
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: I don't think this is a good thing. Co chief,
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: co chair. I think you can only have one chief,
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: so chair.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It blurs the lines, the proper lines is blurred.
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly. It removes accountability. I think you know it's
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: really really important. But actually Dan Laws stepped to the
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: forefront and basically revealed that militia is the most amazing
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: right hand. So actually I think it's this guy who's
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: in charge, right He's the main guy, and she's up
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: there to help to stort the picture and maybe give
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: a little bit of optical support, you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 11: Know, like she looks looks like you know, she kind
• 18:06
  Speaker 11: of fits the DII mold. Let's put it like that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: And that's certainly important to an organization like MLMs because
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: that's very much the agenda that they're promoting.
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: So who is this guy?
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: Dan Law's he's very young, he's twenty three. He's been
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: politically active since he was fifteen. He's been involved with
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: organizations like NEST, the Bank of England, the United Nations,
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: the House of Commons, bafter the British Chambers of Commerce.
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: Extremely well connected.
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: He did a master's program, the Schwartzman Scholarship, which was
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: about exporting Chinese.
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: Ideas to the world.
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: Really importantly, that's backed by Stephen Schwartzman, the chair and
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: founder of Blackstone, one of the world's biggest investment funds.
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: Dan Law was also very closely linked in to Trsus Media.
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: I reported this back in October I believe it was.
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: So this is an event of the London Stock Exchange
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: focusing on improving u heth employment. This was co convened
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: by Tortoise Media, London Stock Exchange Group and Tony Blair
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: Institute for Global Change. You've got James Harding now on
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: the left, editor of Tartus Media, Dan Law's on the right,
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: sitting around the boardroom table with some extraordinarily powerful people.
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: Right, So this guy is right in.
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: The mix, even up to the level of being a
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: recipient of the Diana Award and also sits on the
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: board of the Diana Award. And we can see him
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: here pictures with Prince William. This comes to his Twitter profile.
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: So this is a very very well connected young man
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: who's been progressed extremely quickly through the system. So I
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: think we're going to be hearing a lot more about
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: him as time goes along. Now they were getting together
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: at the Barbicane. They had a lot to celebrate, so
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: they ran a big campaign through the summer, this given
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: ex campaign which we've spoken about, where they signed up
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: nearly half a million young people to vote, which would
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: have had a material impact on the UK election, right,
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: So most of those young people voted for Labor, who
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: got just under ten million votes, So about five percent
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: of the vote potentially could be attributed to MLMs for Labor.
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: I mean that's quite significant and really went to validate
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: that Labor victory. Who else was there on the day,
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: So I'm just going to whip through some of this.
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: I'm not going to show any clips because most of
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: the content was so predictable that it doesn't really bear repeating,
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: to be honest with you, But I'll just show some
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: of the people involved. So we had Tinder sponsoring session
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: on authenticity because people are always their most authentic on
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: dating apps.
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: Apparently, really odd alignment there.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: I thought we had Ian Dale from LBC and actually
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: this was a formal partnership with Global Radio via the
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: Global Academy. So this is a new partnership between My Life,
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: My Say and one of the biggest media organizations in
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: the UK. We had Ben and Jerry's, the ice cream
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: brand there for the refugee vote. No idea any what
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: the alignment there is, what the strategy there is for
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: the brand, but they seem to be in the mix
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: A lot Ben and Jerry's on these kinds of issues.
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: Amber Rudd, former Home Secretary and currently an advisor to
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: dark Trace, the UK technology company that was founded by
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: Mike Lynch, very very odd and slightly sinister technology business,
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: being interviewed by Sharon Gaffker from Love Island. This is
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: the kind of tone of debate that the politicians I'm
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: sure love right. I mean, this is just softball questions
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: all day long, really easy to deal with.
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: And some influencer types.
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: Ire May, I'm really sure she's about but she's got
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: five million followers, quite impressive. Clover Hogan, who I spoke
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: about last week, who's a climate alarmist. She's basically angling
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: to be the next Grettathenburg as far as I can tell,
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: a few politicians. Derrick Walker, so the Future Generation's Commissioner
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: for Wales talking about how dogs are racist. Well he
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: actually didn't say that, but he could have done, because
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: that is one of their policies that we've heard about
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: over the past few weeks coming out of Wales. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: then met Coban, who presented the video that we opened
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: up with. He was the founder of My life might
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: say he turned out to give his blessings to proceedings.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: But he's now moved on to the position of Deputy
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: Mayor of London for Environment and Energy, so he's pushing
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: the climate change agenda in the capital city here in
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: the UK. And he is also a Obama Foundation Leader
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: for Europe twenty twenty four to twenty five, so he's
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: been elevated up into the global system. He was in
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: Hackney before and he's been bumped up into the top levels.
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: Well done, Metico, Bang, good for you. Ever, El still
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: we have there Al Campbell, bad Al Campbell, who's now
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: I don't know, sort of the political commentator. What did
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: he get asked about by this young lady on the
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: right hand side, Janelle Alwa Mooyi from the BBC, who's
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: about I don't know. She can't be more than twenty
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: four to twenty five years old. And again it's this
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: sort of dynamic where you've got a man who is
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: an absolute brute, yeah, like he's done some extraordinarily bad
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: things in his career being thrown softball questions by a
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: twenty five year old. So the questions he were being
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: posed were about mental health in the workplace and how
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: awful Donald Trump is and ironically the importance of holding
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: politicians to account.
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: That's one of the questions that was thrown to him.
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: Right, So nothing about WNDS in Iraq, nothing about operation
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: or nothing about the death of David Kelly. Right, So
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: this is exactly the kind of audience that these people
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: like to talk to. And actually this is an age
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: limited event, so if you're over thirty, you can't go. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: so this is very very targeted on gen Z, very
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: specifically focused on that. And Campbell's been involved for a
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: long time. So actually, Coban, this was over the summer.
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: He revealed that Campbell basically hets helped set up the
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: charity eleven years ago and has opened many doors that
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: have enabled so many opportunities for young people, especially for Metti, Coban,
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: MBE and Obama leader. Right, Yeah, he's done very well
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: out of this relationship. A little bit of data coming up.
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: They had some guy from a research firm called Opinion
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: talking about what's going on with the youth. So they
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: spoke to a thousand youths across the country to find
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: out their thoughts on things. Apparently, young people they really
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: care about politics, but they don't think politics cares about them.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: I'd beg to differ.
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: Actually, I mean, look at the entire scenario that you're
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: currently surrounded with, with MLMs and Chatham House and.
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: All of these people. Politics really cares about you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: I think the issue is that you're not being given
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: enough free stuff, right, and that's probably what's going on here.
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: They are worried that they can't buy a home, but
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: they're not worried about mass immigration. Someone should probably tell
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: them that those things are two sides of the same coin.
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: And no one trusts the Tories, which is absolutely no
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: surprise at all. There was a serving minister on stage,
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: so Dan Laws came back out and spoke to this
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: lady Abina upon Azari. I hope I'm saying that correctly.
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: She's the MP for everything Thamesmead in Southeast London. She
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: came out to say that I was involved in the
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: Fabian Women's Network for four years, just making sure we
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: had people from diverse backgrounds, making sure it wasn't predominantly
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: white to middle class individuals. It felt like we had
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: to change and MLMs is linked to the Fabian Society.
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: They actually had a panel session at the Fabian Society
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: event at the Labor Conference back in October.
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: So there's a very clear link there to the Fabians.
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: We've been talking about them a lot over the past
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: twelve months and I'm sure before that as well. Another
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: quote from miss Azari, So by the time I left
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: the Labor Women's Network, over fifty percent of the exec
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: were from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, right, which is
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: really the issue with a lot of this DEI stuff.
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: You're now over represent it because the nation itself is
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: still eighty percent white European. If we have to use
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: these terms, I will use them eighty percent white European. Yeah,
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: not that you'd know it from what you've done at
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: the Labor Women's Network or from the kind of representation
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: that we're seeing on stage at MLMs right now. Importantly,
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: this woman, as well as being the MP for ericth
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: and Thamesmead, is also Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office.
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: And we spoke about the Cabinet Office last week because
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: that's where Catherine Day works. Catherine Day the Deputy Director
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: of the Cabinet Office responsible for foresights, who is handed
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: over the contract for defining the future vision for the
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: country to a political foundation.
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: So this lady at MLMs is working with Catherine Day
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: and she's also working and in fact she's job sharing
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: with Georgia Gould, former mayor of Camden who is currently
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: the MP for made of Veil and another bit of
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: London I can't remember off the top of my head.
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: And they are doing a co share. Look, it's a
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: co job. They're both doing it at the same time.
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: This has never happened before, right, So we had Dan
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: Laws and his partner co leading MLMs, and you've got
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: a Beana A pont Azare and Georgia Gord co sharing
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: the job of being Parliamentary Secretary and Cabinet Office, which
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: is an extraordinarily important and central function in government. It
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: oversees almost everything, including digitization of governance, which we'll come
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: on to a little bit later.
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: Georgia Guild is also very close to Alis de Campbell.
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: He played the bagpipes at her wedding. I'm not sure
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: this is her wedding. She probably didn't have a chip
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: van at her wedding, but she probably did have a
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: stop Brexit banner, so I don't know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: Maybe it could be.
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: I'm not sure anyway, Just going to sign off with
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: a couple of final observations, So this came from someone
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: who attended the event on LinkedIn said, if you're not
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: at the table, you're probably on the menu, right, And
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: there were zero Anglo Saxon males on any of the
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: panels at any point during the day, apart from the politicians. Yeah,
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: so the next generation that my life might say is
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: putting forward has got nothing to do with the native
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: population of the country. So apparently we're on the menu,
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: according to this young lady who shared this. And then
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: the final thing was a comment from someone one of
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: the young men on one of the panels earlier on
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: in the day who was talking about the need to
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: be louder, to be the loud generation, to constantly demand
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: things from.
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: Everybody around you.
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: He said, I've invented a phrase that you should use.
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: Who's going to create the change you wish to see?
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: If it's not you, right, And actually, we've already got
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: a phrase that does that be the change you wish
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: to see in the world. We've already got that and
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: it does the same job, the better and in a
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: more elegant way.
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: But you wouldn't know.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: That because, like a lot of young people, you think
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: everything starts with you.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Ben. Thank you very very much for that lot of
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: detail there for our audience. We know that, but you
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: can obviously go back and watch this again, have a
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: look at the show notes. These are the people controlling
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: government and our society. And of course Dominic Cummings earlier
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: on said quite happily that the MPs actually haven't got
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: a clue what's going on. That statement is true even
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: if they're involved in the sort of organizations and initiatives
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: that Ben is talking about. Diane, welcome to the news,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to say you're on the same subject
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: really but coming in from a different angle, the attack
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: on language.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, thanks Brian, and hello Ben. Happy to be here
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: this afternoon. Yes, I'm going to do some coach today
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: on the attack on language and education and culture and
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: all of the things that are under attack in our
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: country and throughout the West. I would like to say
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: first of all that that.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: We've been hearing seems to define our time with the moment.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: What is a woman?
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: I said on Twitter this morning on my Twitter, Diane,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: you k see that I would be here today as
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: an example of a woman.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: I am not a CIS woman.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: You are not cis men, hopefully Ben and Brian, and
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: let's hear from a Mala Aquinobe about the word sis
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: and what that means to her as a woman.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: I am not a sis. I am simply a woman.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: I reject the phrase cis gender. It was created out
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: of thin air as a means to deviate us from
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: trans people who are taking on this caricature of being
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: a woman, taking on her sheet pronouns, and taking on
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: rights to womanhood that they do not deserve. For so long,
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: the feminist movement has been saying women have been victimized
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: and oppressed by men. But if the man wears a
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: wig and puts on makeup, suddenly they're oppressed. Is that
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: what happens? Do they take on all the oppression that
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: women have been facing for decades in this country now
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: that they simply identify as one? And is that as
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: far as you have to go just saying I am
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: a woman in order to be one? I guess so,
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: because that's what a lot of people are doing now,
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: They're just saying, well, I'm a woman.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: So this came about because of well, a lot of
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: things obviously we'll talk about.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: In just a minute.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: But this tweet from James Sis, who is my colleague
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: in academics Academic Freedom, tweeted ago we are not cis
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: male or cis female. We are simply male or female,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: no prefix required. So that tweet got picked up and
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: retweeted by Elon Musk and it now has about one
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: hundred million views just over the past few days, which
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: is incredible. I think it starts to show that people
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: are getting tired of the whole thing. So we look
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: at this article here from over the weekend as well
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the last few days with this consideration of what a
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: woman is. And if you want more detail on this case,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: you can go back to Charles Mallett's report from last week.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: But there's just been some updates I wanted to share. First.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Britain's had been wondering what those thirty four million people
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: who are not men might be. So this is obviously
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: a question that got raised by the Scottish government in
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: laws that they passed in twenty twenty two regarding gender
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: identification and what that means in Scotland. So we got
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: all the way up to the Supreme Court down in London,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: hand of Barnes, who's a brilliant writer on this topic,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: and many other topics, wrote that the Scottish government is
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: in fact ignoring women's rights and to see that position
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: of gender recognition and what that means and how it
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: is changing the language around the term woman. That alone
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Joe Phoenix as well, another one of my colleagues, talking
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: about She was actually present at the hearing and she tweeted,
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: never did I think that I would sit in the
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court and hear the sentence natal men do not.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Get pregnant, Like we had to hear that, right.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: So we've got some really good coverage here from around
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: the women from Sex Matters and four women in Scotland
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: who have done some really great work around.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: What this means for being what is a woman? What
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: does it mean?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: And so we see very positive coverage here from their
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: photograph compared to the really negative coverage that we see
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: and for example BBC where they're showing a very angry
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: trans lobbyist coming in and kind of making a big
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: disaster out of the whole situation, making it really a
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: whole lot worse. So I've got some other examples here
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: of not about women and men necessarily, but around other
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: issues of education and language to kind of show what's
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: been going on here because.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Woken has killed the English literature degree? Is that? That's
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: a question from the Telegraph.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: These are all meanstream sources, but just to show that
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: it's out there to the public, saying that some academics
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: are too scared to teach Joseph Conrad and parts of
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: the Canterbury Tales to students because of the fear of
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: causing offense. Now, I remember reading the Canterbury Tales in
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: high school and loved it. I can't imagine why it
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: would be offensive to people, but that's just me. At
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: the University of Liverpool, lecturers have been plunged into a
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: row of perceived wokeness after being told to start problematizing
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: whiteness and heterosexuality during seminars one. Critics said the concept
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: of decolonization has now morphed into an aggressive and illiberal
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: political ideology.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: And what do we mean by decolonization.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Well, please remember that my definition of this is the
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: destruction of Western culture and history in Western civilization, because
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: that's what they're trying to do.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: It's just a fancy term for it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: The QAA has been told academics to decolonize classics and maths,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: and how do we do this well, we include equity, diversity, inclusion,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: social justice into class.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: It's in maths.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: I really didn't know that maths could be decolonized, but
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: apparently it can be because some of the topics were
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: created by old white men, unfortunately apparently, and so we
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: see here what we have to do is include cultural contexts,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: include what issues might not be considered problematic. So this
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: is throughout all topics of study in universities in the
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: UK at this point, especially from the QAA membership. This
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: is not just in universities, it's in libraries, it's in schools.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Labor says that they are basically going to change history
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: so that British.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Children or children going to school written will no.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Longer learn about the actual past of Britain because it
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: is offensive and racist.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: And the person that they.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Have now put in charge that Bridge of Phillips and
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: put into place Professor Becky Francis, who was the head
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: of the Education and Downment Foundation, And there has been
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: a process to get feedback on what people think should
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: be included in the curriculum. And unfortunately I didn't even
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: hear about it until the constituation was already closed.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: On the twenty second of November.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: But Professor Becky Francis, her expertise focuses on social identities.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: So where if we heard that before identity politics, gender, raise,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: social class and educational contexts, and so of course we
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: can imagine that that's going to be the focus going forward.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: The University of Manchester Library, which I've covered previously, is
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: they have quite an extensive decolonization a practice going on
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: at the moment, saying that they believe decolonized libraries offer
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: a more accurate and less biased account of history and experiences.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: It rejects colonial ways of thinking and power structures that
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: privilege white and Eurocentric perspectives and narratives.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: So of course this.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Means for example, changing the word costume to traditional dress
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: in their library catalog because costume is now an offensive term.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: So going out out of education and sort of into
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: other areas in public one for Mike Robinson, RTE said
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: the last year reported on this that there was a
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: book that was pulled from the depiction.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Of an Irish family.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: The publisher was called the Educational Company of Ireland, and
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: it removed something because there was a section entitled all Different,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: All Equal with an Aaron Jumper wearing Irish family, eating bacon,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: cabin and potatoes every day and not liking change your difference,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: And so they removed this because this was found to
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: be offensive to certain people.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: In Wales.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Of course, we have a lot of problems going on
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Wales with the anti racism laws that are in place.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: The government has said that we are going to change
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the beliefs and behavior of the white majority in order
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: to build an inclusive society for all our Black, Asian
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: and minority ethnic people. So what does this do to
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Wales in particular, Well, you know, it does quite a
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: bit because everything is an attack on white people in Wales,
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: basically from libraries to schools, to taking your to the
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: park to everything else. And it seems to be specifically
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: defined as white people holding negative views of other people.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: And that's the definition of racism. It's not about any
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: other race who could potentially be racist against anyone.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: It's just the white people.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Statues of white men may need to be destroyed according
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: to the Welsh government because these people could be perceived
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: as aggressors out to expand the British Empire, regardless of
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: what actually happened in history. Its offensive so we're going
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: to change it. And so I decided to look at
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: the Office of National Statistics to see the kind of
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: what is the population makeup of whales and we can
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: see except for in the cities down to the south
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: near Cardiff a Newport, it is essentially ninety eight point
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: five percent white. So we are again, just like with
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: the translot, be concerned with a very very small portion
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: of the population and offending them just for a bit
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: of humor. In the middle of all this, the Telegraph
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: reported on a report in twenty twenty one that dirty
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: pants on a washing line was recorded as a non
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: crime hate incident by police, and that was because someone
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: had an Italian surname and it was first put on
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: the washing line in July that year when they defeated
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: England on penalties after a one one draw in the
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: final Football's European Championships. So it's amazing what can be
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: considered to be offensive nowadays. Just don't hang out your
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: dirty pants. To go back on something that's been covered
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: previously on UK column, I believe it was last year
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: the Strategy of the mind, Maoism and.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Culture War in the West.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: This is a really important article that I would encourage
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: everyone to take a look at and it basically says,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: in nonviolent form culture war continues and the need to
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: decolonize alleged structures of oppression from the secondary and tertiary
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: curriculums of schools and universities, to libraries, health services, the police,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: the armed forces.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: And to just about everything.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: And for further reading, these same authors have written a
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: book that was published in twenty twenty two called The
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Strategy of Maoism in the West, Rage in the Radical Life,
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: and I've read the first couple of chapters of it
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: so far, and what it says it explores is the
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: channels of ideological influence by which the basically the mause
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: longmarchs through the institutions is taking place and how it
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: is currently manifested through critical race theory, cancel culture, econoclasm,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: and curriculum decolonization. And a really important point that is
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: made from these authors is that Maoism believes and Mao
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: said that if we don't agree with something, or if
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: people don't agree with the line that we want to
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: push in society, we just cancel their freedom of speech.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: And that's pretty much.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: What he said, and just to leave you with a
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: final thought for this segment from George Orwell's book Politics
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: and the English Language. But if the thought corrupts language,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: language can also corrupt. A bad usage can spread by
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: tradition and imitation, even among people who should.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: And do no better.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: And later on the news, Brian and Bean, I'm going
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: to cover a specific example of what we can do
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: in practice to fight back against this agenda and keep art,
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: our culture, and our language in place.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Diane, thank you very much for that. And we are
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: clearly under attack, and it would appear especially Ben and
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: myself due to our status as white men. But we'll
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: see how we fare. Diana just said, I don't know
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: whether it was a studio issue, but just check your microphone.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: You seem to go quite quiet to us. But let's
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: move on. Well, if we've got the country controlled by people,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: do we know who they are? Outside agencies, pressure groups,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: global corporations, World Economic Forum. They are desperate to keep
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine going. And I'm going to say
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: that an individual challenged the Ministry of Defense a few
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: months ago as to how many British servicemen and women
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: had been killed or injured in Ukraine. And this resulted
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: in the freedom of information request, which initially the Ministry
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: of Defense just stalled in breach of the freedom of
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: information rules. Ultimately the Information Commissioner had to get involved.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: But finally we've got an answer here, and let's have
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: a look at how they responded. Well, very quickly, they
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: brought in the matter of public interest. That doesn't mean
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: in our interest, it means in their interests. And it's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: said that the public interest arguments for and against the
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: release of the wild held information under section twenty four
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: to one and twenty six one are closely linked. And
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: this is explained. So let's have a look at how
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: they dealt with it. Well, they said that disclosing British
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: deaths and injuries would help the Russians. They can't tell
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: us how many British personnel have been killed or injured
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine, because that would apparently help the Russians. They've
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: said that they judged that disclosing injuries f or fatilities
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: may adversely affect security and safety of military personnel or civilians.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: So you're not going to know as a member of
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the UK public. For that reason. You're also not going
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: to know because other states and international organizations are more
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: important to the UK government than the UK public, and
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: we could essentially upset these people if we disclosed how
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: many British personnel have been killed and injured. And if
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: we go to this statement, this is the teller because
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: they said that zero is a number. By withholding information,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: it is non indicative of a higher number. Well, of
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: course this is a great lie, because of course if
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: there were no dead or injured British servicemen in Ukraine,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: the rationale for the statement would not hold true. So
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: UK column is going to say, we are very certain
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: that a significant number of British military personnel have been
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: killed in Ukraine, but of course the UK government dare
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: not give the figures because this gives truth to the
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: fact that the war is now actually between UK forces,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: NATO forces and the Russians, whereas the great lie. But
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the government is that that is not the case. So
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: we'll leave you to think about that. Perhaps we can
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: get more information on this subject in due course. Now,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: i'd just like to say a big thank you to
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: all the viewers who are actually helping us and who
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: have taken out a monthly membership. We can only do
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: what we do with your help, but here we are
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: thank you for the support so many people have given us. Now,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: with regard to adverts, I'd just like to say that
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: this petition is still going. This is ensuring diagnosis and
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: treatment for people suffering from adverse COVID nineteen vaccine and
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: side effects. It's nearly four five hundred signatures. But the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: thing is it ends on the eleventh of December, so
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: if we can give this a boost, it would be
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: very good. Also like to say that we have this
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: presentation and workshop run amongst others by Sandy Adams amongst others.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: But this is Friday, the sixth of December eleven to
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: five and it's a the Chiswick Memorial Club in London,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: W four two EL. We've also got tomorrow an interview
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: going out with Roger Meekock, the vet. He's talking about
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: a range of subjects including the protests, the farming protests,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: humans slurry and the use of PCR testing on animals
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: which had not been approved. And I think we've got
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: a short video clip here.
• 44:39
  Speaker 13: I had this affinity to farming that sort of drove
• 44:43
  Speaker 13: me really to go up to London on Tuesday and
• 44:45
  Speaker 13: support the farmers and lend my voice and support to
• 44:50
  Speaker 13: their demonstration over the inheritance tax. And the one thing
• 44:55
  Speaker 13: that sort of I picked up on really struck me
• 44:59
  Speaker 13: was that that doesn't seem too much grasp, but what's
• 45:02
  Speaker 13: actually happening is deliberate ploy They're trying to get rid
• 45:05
  Speaker 13: of small farmers. They want large farms, they want industrial farming,
• 45:10
  Speaker 13: they want monoculture, they want to push everybody towards plant
• 45:14
  Speaker 13: based eating. I think that there's more to it than
• 45:18
  Speaker 13: is often presented. We've come across the whole rewilding idea
• 45:23
  Speaker 13: of what they want to do to the UK. We
• 45:25
  Speaker 13: know that they want to put wind farms and solar
• 45:28
  Speaker 13: farms on the farmland and instead of producing food farmers,
• 45:33
  Speaker 13: if they haven't got the land value, they've got nothing
• 45:36
  Speaker 13: to borrow against when they want to buy their half
• 45:38
  Speaker 13: million pounds worth of combine harvester.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: So that will be an extremely interesting interview and encourage
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: people to watch that. Ben, I think brings us back
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: Indeed, yes for a more fake democracy, and it all
• 45:55
  Speaker 10: hinges on this organization. Democracy Next, another democratic future is
• 46:00
  Speaker 10: possible back by open society foundations, the Rockefeller Foundation, amongst
• 46:04
  Speaker 10: many of the others. We've spoken about them a few
• 46:06
  Speaker 10: times over the past year or so, and they are
• 46:08
  Speaker 10: part of the same ecosystem as a political foundation, right,
• 46:13
  Speaker 10: so again is going to bring this up. I've shown
• 46:15
  Speaker 10: some clips from this Demos video a few times this year.
• 46:18
  Speaker 10: You've got Georgia Gould, who I spoke about earlier, who's
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: now the Cabinet Office right at the center of government digitization,
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: sitting next to Lisa Whitta, the CEO of a political
• 46:27
  Speaker 10: who are going to be defining the future vision of
• 46:29
  Speaker 10: the country or running a collaborative process in order to
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: do that, probably working directly with this lady Claudia Challis,
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: the Chief executive of Democracy Next, who at the Demos
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: event described these democratic innovations and new governance models that
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: can help break through deadlocks and give legitimacy to hard
• 46:50
  Speaker 10: decisions that require trade offs, including around things like assisted dying.
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: Let's hear about some of the work they've been doing
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: in France.
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: In contemporary times. I would say the most common form
• 47:03
  Speaker 14: that deliberative democracy takes our citizens assemblies. So these are
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: the assemblies where people are randomly selected to be broadly
• 47:09
  Speaker 14: representative of a population of a community, and then they
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: are tasked with solving a really complex pressing policy problem
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: like climate change. I'll define it by giving the example
• 47:19
  Speaker 14: of what took place here in France recently. There were
• 47:21
  Speaker 14: one hundred and eighty four people selected by a lot
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: to be broadly representative of the diversity of prin society.
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: They were convened over the course of twenty seven days
• 47:29
  Speaker 14: of deliberation spread out over four months.
• 47:31
  Speaker 15: To help out with a problem that politicians can't easily
• 47:35
  Speaker 15: solve on their and that's the end of life.
• 47:38
  Speaker 14: To deliberate on this question of should France amend its
• 47:41
  Speaker 14: existing legislation on end of life issues and if so,
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: in what ways.
• 47:50
  Speaker 15: The citizens are getting to know each other, pretty positive
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: feeling between.
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: Everyone, so cons.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Clinique the visions in nomen Mont.
• 48:06
  Speaker 14: To be able to do that, they heard from around
• 48:08
  Speaker 14: sixty experts, which also included stakeholders, faith group leaders, philosophers,
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: and then they deliberated with one another to come up
• 48:15
  Speaker 14: with sixty seven really detailed concrete recommendations on which they
• 48:19
  Speaker 14: found ninety two percent consensus, and then these were delivered
• 48:23
  Speaker 14: to the government.
• 48:24
  Speaker 15: Everybody gets the turn to speak. That conversation follows and
• 48:27
  Speaker 15: builds towards a proposal.
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: At the end.
• 48:29
  Speaker 14: The defining elements of these citizens Assemblies are that people
• 48:32
  Speaker 14: are randomly selected, so in principle everyone has an equal
• 48:36
  Speaker 14: chance of actually being the one in power.
• 48:38
  Speaker 15: They are very tentative on the first weekend and now
• 48:42
  Speaker 15: from the.
• 48:43
  Speaker 16: Coffee breaks to the cigarette breaks behind me to the
• 48:47
  Speaker 16: meetings in the main parliament space. They use words like
• 48:51
  Speaker 16: we've gained respect, we've gained confidence in each other, in solidarity.
• 48:55
  Speaker 14: One.
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: In experience, lenity, Julie.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: So bent watching that. To me, that's the ultimate theater,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: that's the great diss action because those people clearly felt
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: they were doing something, but actually they were being played.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: But of course who was playing and the sixty experts
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: that were mentioned, because those experts, the change agents, would
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: be controlling the ordinary members of the public in steering
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: them towards their decisions. So the citizens Assemblies saw tistion.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: This is where we're going very very quickly under Starmer
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: to break down any remnant of the existing parliament based
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: democracy system that we've got completely.
• 49:49
  Speaker 10: It's all about ramming through a progressive agenda without proper
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: scrutiny and giving it a veneer of respectability. And it's
• 49:57
  Speaker 10: absolutely everywhere else that was one example that we seen
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: from France, Democracy and Extra operating across the US as well.
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: By the way they're active in the UK, they've got
• 50:04
  Speaker 10: a lot of people on the ground here. This is
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: another organization this popped up. This is a lady called
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: Emma de Suza from an organization called Civic and this
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: was running a citizens Assembly in Northern Ireland focusing on
• 50:19
  Speaker 10: housing issues. So they've all agreed now that they need
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: to borrow private money to build more homes. There's public
• 50:25
  Speaker 10: private partnership stuff, so just usher bring this stuff through.
• 50:29
  Speaker 10: Also some really interesting stuff about legislating to enforce the
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: removal of flags and emblems from shared infrastructure in Northern Ireland.
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: I mean, I can imagine that being quite contentious, and
• 50:39
  Speaker 10: they've used this as a way to amend legislation.
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: It goes right up to the global level.
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: So is we who also in this ecosystem are building
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: a global citizens Assembly for climate issues, running it directly
• 50:53
  Speaker 10: out of the UN. Nothing terrifying about that whatsoever. There's
• 50:57
  Speaker 10: another example here from the Sortition Foundation in Germany, which
• 51:02
  Speaker 10: was looking at new and having a national conversation on
• 51:05
  Speaker 10: nutrition in food. So another one of these hot topics
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: relating to the Climate Agenda and the Sortition Foundation as
• 51:12
  Speaker 10: well as democracy next and as we very very active
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: in the UK and they're promoting this agenda to replace
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: the House of Lords with a House of citizens and
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: twenty twenty five is the year when this stuff is
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: really going to start to ramp up.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Oka Ben, thank you for that. Well, let's introduce the
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: final part really of the system to control minds of
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: society children prime target. And I want to say a
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: huge thank you to the UK column viewer who over
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: the weekend sent me this report from the Daily Mail. Sorry,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: let's pop that up on screen. And now, of course
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: the first thing to see is the data. This article
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: is November twenty fourteen, so ten years ago. Six between
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: thirteen year olds is normal, says controversial traffic light tool
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: sent to schools to teach about relationships. And what are
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: we talking about here, Well, if you get into the article,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: it's talking about BROOK, the organization BROOK, which is based
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: in Cornwall. If we have a look at one of
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the little templates that they had in the article itself,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: if you look at what BROOK is suggesting as green behaviors,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: solitary masturbations, sexually explicit conversations, obscenities and jokes within the
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: current cultural norm, interest in erotica, pornography, use of intermediate
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: media to chat online, having sexual non sexual relationships, and
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: on it goes. Now, what was interesting was that when
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I went to have a look at Brook, I came
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: across the leadership team al ways of interest Helling Marshall,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: the chief executive. But the next name that came up
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: was one of the trustees, Dame Sally Dicketts, and I
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: recognized this lady immediately is the former head of Oxford
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: and Churwyll Valley College. Because way back in twenty eleven,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the UK Column exposed child abuse at this very college.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: If you go on to the UK Column website, we've
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: got another a number of articles about what was going on,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: utterly disgraceful. We were actually threatened by the college with
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: legal action from reporting, but of course we were telling
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: the truth and nothing took place. But what was going
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: on alcohol consumed in classrooms, bullying, racism, health and safety breaches,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: pornographic video, sexual and physical assaults, abuse of trust and neglect.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: And they were just some of the accusations against the
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: college itself. But of course the principle of the college
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: promoted and rewarded via the system, the awards system, and
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: ultimately has moved on to Brook. So I'm not sure
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: that I've got much confidence there for what Brooke is
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: actually doing with our children and encourage people to dig
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: in deeper to see for themselves. Now time, let's bring
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: you back on screen because we can end today's news
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: with I think a little bit of a positive angle
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: about people who are actually stepping forward to challenge what
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: we see underfolding around us. Can we hear you.
• 54:40
  Speaker 11: Finally?
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Easy, Diane, I think we've unfortunately, I think we've lost
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: your sound sound at the moment? Or are you muted?
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Hello? Can you hear me now?
• 55:10
  Speaker 14: Yes?
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: Better?
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, afraid happens. You'll have to start that segment again.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: Please, Okay, thank you, Sorry about that.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: No, it's fine, you've reassured me. I didn't know whether
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: my hearing had taken a dive. Apparently it's okay, So
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: just do that again.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, thank you.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: So over the weekend I went to something that I
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: considered to be a positive solution because at UK column
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: we get a lot of questions about what can we
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: actually do because we hear these horrible things happening and
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: what can we do to make a difference and start
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: to change things. So, for example, over the weekend I
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: went to a group with called the Andrews Day Celebration
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: with Kamenella Jedburgh, which is a group that I'm a
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: member of up here, and we believe in what we
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: call spreading marginalized ideas and applying reason to the subjects
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: that are of greatest concern, spreading what should be common knowledge, love, courage, integrity,
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: and community. And the point of the celebration was not
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: only just to have fun and eat some good food
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: and have some whiskey, but also because we wanted to
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: basically practice the national culture that the globalists are trying so.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: Hard to eradicate.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: So I've got a few clips here that I took
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: on Saturday night, and we've added some sort of Scottish
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: soundscape music because there was a lot of background noise
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: in people talking. So hopefully if you can't hear everything,
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: you can.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Watch it later with subtitles. But I've just got pre
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: videos here.
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: The first one is a poet called Glenn Telfer, and
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: he told the story through his poems of the story
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: of Saint Andrew who was the patron saint in Scotland.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: And here's the first one of his poems that he read.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: Hopefully you can hear.
• 56:48
  Speaker 17: I'm going kill the scrolls quote the strongstrong see to
• 56:52
  Speaker 17: itself a sign to me, A story league and me
• 56:55
  Speaker 17: a fairy pictures, drestling, crops, finals and weapons blasted, terry
• 57:01
  Speaker 17: of event, toy car children's tway, friends spoilt and scattered
• 57:05
  Speaker 17: by a clumsy hand. Memories of a heartache that filled
• 57:08
  Speaker 17: the frame to busting and was only salved by being
• 57:11
  Speaker 17: battered into unconsciousness by their drink or by madness. But
• 57:16
  Speaker 17: although fading too earth through nothing's in their lightness atlantic weather,
• 57:21
  Speaker 17: These pathetic tokens of a sad and also a little
• 57:25
  Speaker 17: mortal life, a mere ciphers for a power that bloss
• 57:29
  Speaker 17: the lassness of the pain and bads that prucifying world
• 57:33
  Speaker 17: in a warm golden light. We are not forgotten and
• 57:38
  Speaker 17: never will be, even when the carriers of the burden
• 57:41
  Speaker 17: let it go for the last time. And this is
• 57:44
  Speaker 17: why they are here for Columbus to hold down safe
• 57:47
  Speaker 17: in his arms forever. I guarantee from the ancient days
• 57:51
  Speaker 17: that means what it says, Take.
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: My hand and trust me.
• 57:55
  Speaker 17: We have friends along the road who want to meet you.
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: We have friends along the road who want to meet you,
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: don't We all want that. The next video is from
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: someone called Patty Hogg, who is a former local councilor
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: and a Burdens adherent as he calls himself.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: He was very inspirational.
• 58:17
  Speaker 18: If the ideas get into the culture and stay there,
• 58:19
  Speaker 18: that's true. The relatives and Andrew first Apostle of Christ
• 58:27
  Speaker 18: were said to have been brought to school a captain five.
• 58:31
  Speaker 18: And that's the argue at the time of name.
• 58:34
  Speaker 11: Sometimes not true or not.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: How do you verify it? To the end of the time,
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: people believe something true.
• 58:43
  Speaker 18: That's true of Casey.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: Bost And my third video here is a reading from
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: a book called The Expedition of Humphrey Clinker, which was
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: written by Tobias Smollett, who was born in Western Bartonshire,
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: Scotland or what is now Western Bartonshire. It was published
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: in nineteen it's sorry seventeen seventy one, just a few
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: days before his death actually, and it's a kikeresque novel
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: about a character called Matthew Bramble and his family traveling
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: through England in Scotland, and there's just a tale of
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: the trail the travels as they went around the country,
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: and the point was to make Matthew recover from illness.
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: So here's a description of some golfers that they supposedly
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: saw in his fictional work at leaf Links up here
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: in Edinburgh.
• 59:33
  Speaker 19: One particular set of golfers, the youngest of whom was
• 59:37
  Speaker 19: termed of four score. They were all gentlemen of independent fortunes,
• 59:48
  Speaker 19: who had amused themselves with this pastime for the best
• 59:52
  Speaker 19: part a century, without having ever felt the least alarm
• 59:57
  Speaker 19: from sickness for disgust. They never went to bed without
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 19: having such without having each the best part of a
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 19: gallon of Clark in his bill, such uninterrupted exercise, cooperating
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 19: with the keen air from the sea, must without all
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 19: doubt keep the appetite always on edge, and steal the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 19: Constitution against all the common attacks.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: Of the stempo.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: So that that was the duo of Matthew Wilson and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: Martin Watt. Martin Watt is a UK column viewer, and
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: I had a good conversation with him on Saturday night.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: We had live music.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: Which of course I can't play. Unfortunately, due to copyright restriction.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: This is from Aria Music, so that's Christy from Aria Music.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: And she did some amazing renditions of both Highland Cathedral Caledonia,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: so traditional Scottish music, as well as some of her
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: original folk music. And we also did have a Gay
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: Gordon's kailey which I did not get up for, by
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: the way. And also I met there a man called
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: Mark Wilkinson. And because we do like to highlight a
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: relatively independent approaches to politics, this is a man who's
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: organized a group called Edinburgh People, which he's calling a
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: new political party, but they're essentially independents. They did have
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: some candidates running for empty in the general election earlier
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: this year. And so just some key points for his
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: policies which I personally agree with, reversing and stopping low
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: traffic neighborhoods. Since I certainly live in what I would
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: call a fifteen minute city in my area of Edinburgh,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: I'm happy to see this happen. The belief that people
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: don't want war, it's only those who profit from war
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: who want war. Freedom of medical autonomy, which refers to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: things like COVID vaccinations and women's safe spaces to be
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: kept safe. Which means excluding men, sis men or otherwise
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: from our spaces. Coming up next just for a couple
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: of events if you are interested in coming up to
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: Edinburgh or if you are here in Scotland already. We
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: are hosting Sonya Pulton on the fourteenth of December in
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: combination with a Christmas party, so we're delighted to be
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: looking forward to that. On the ninth of January, we
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: will have Annie Barr, who is an alternative healthcare provider
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: and she provides solutions tailored to the individual. Her website
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: is abhelthhub dot com and she is treating a lot
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: of people currently who are vaccine injured. And I will
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: be speaking at a full day event in February sponsored
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: by camenal Genbrah and more details of that will be
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: to come soon once that is our finalized.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Excellent, thank you, thank you very much for that, Diane.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say we have to end the news there.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: We're always sure to time because there's always so much
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: to talk about. But the key thing is to have
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: a look at the news again when it's online with
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: all the show notes, because that is what you can
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: share with other people, not only to help wake them
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: up to what's really happening. But of course there's also information,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: comment and video clips that you can post on the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: channels of the very people who are taking over our society.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: But good to see some nice positive things there happening
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: north of the border, Diane, so well done for reporting
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: on that. Lastly, I'm just going to say, well, it
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: was very sad for us to hear about the death
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: of Anna do Boussat, the lawyer who's done so much
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: good work. I know that her background was concentrated towards media,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: and also she'd been a Territor Territorial Army officer for
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: I think it was nine years. So many people are
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: going to sadly miss her and we were very sadden
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: to hear about her death. We must send the news now,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: but we'll be back in a few minutes time with
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: UK column Extra. We've got a ton of things to
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: talk about, so join us then, thank you, Bye bye,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: emptying the An
