  Good afternoon, today is Monday the 1st of December 2025, just
• 0:14
  after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News.
• 0:16
  I'm your host Brian Gerrish, Delighted to have Ben Rubin with
• 0:20
  me in the studio. Delighted to have you back,
• 0:22
  Brian. And we'll also be joined by
• 0:24
  Sandy Adams and Diane Rasmussen via video link.
• 0:29
  We've got a pretty busy news for you today.
• 0:33
  We'll be running slightly over the hour but lots of important
• 0:36
  information to get across. Many people will be unaware that
• 0:40
  the state of emergency has been declared in UK and we'll be
• 0:44
  having a look at that. We're going to be looking at
• 0:46
  gender and climate because the two are apparently intimately
• 0:51
  connected. We're going to be having a look
• 0:53
  at possible war crimes with the SAS.
• 0:57
  We're going to be looking at local councils and the use of
• 1:00
  drones. We're going to be looking at
• 1:02
  climate leadership. We're going to be looking at the
• 1:05
  whiteness pandemic. You may be completely unaware
• 1:08
  that that was taking place, but it is.
• 1:11
  We're going to be taking a little bit of a recap look at
• 1:14
  juries and the scrapping the intention to scrap juries.
• 1:18
  And we'll be ending with a look at the former's protests up in
• 1:21
  London and some fighting nuns. Ben, we need more of them.
• 1:28
  Well, let's kick off straight away.
• 1:30
  Tell us about this national emergency.
• 1:32
  Absolutely, Brian. Yes, Hello everybody.
• 1:34
  It is a state of emergency. Apparently it all centres around
• 1:37
  this. The National Emergency briefing
• 1:40
  took place last Thursday 27th of November in Westminster Hall,
• 1:44
  where 10 of the UK's leading experts briefed an invitation
• 1:48
  only audience of politicians and media figures, celebrities,
• 1:54
  people from faith, sport and elsewhere on the latest
• 1:57
  implications for health, food, national security and the
• 2:01
  economy. Let's hear what they had to say.
• 2:05
  Together with all the other wonderful life on earth.
• 2:08
  We are the. Only known life forms in the
• 2:12
  universe. Do we want it on our conscience
• 2:15
  that we waste everything? This event is about resetting
• 2:19
  the national conversation, especially in the face of
• 2:23
  growing misinformation. It's sobering when you realise
• 2:28
  that this is the least extreme climate you will experience in
• 2:32
  your lifetime. Competition for water, food and
• 2:35
  land is rising. I am scared.
• 2:39
  I'm 63, I may not have that much longer left on the planet.
• 2:44
  But I'm scared. For my own life and future and
• 2:46
  I'm absolutely terrified for that of my son.
• 2:48
  We have seen this before. We saw it with the tobacco
• 2:51
  industry lobbying against the science, and it is happening
• 2:53
  here too. We might be a small country, but
• 2:57
  we are a great country and I can see some great people out here,
• 3:02
  a lot of good people, but the world will be lost by a lot of
• 3:05
  good people doing nothing. So we need action.
• 3:10
  Hope comes from action. Think of all the good people we
• 3:15
  could have helped if we had acted earlier, and we can't go
• 3:17
  back. But we can avoid making the same
• 3:19
  mistake twice by acting now. The solutions make us stronger.
• 3:24
  Hope is a discipline. It needs human endeavour to make
• 3:27
  it a reality between us all together.
• 3:31
  We have what it takes to create the societal tipping point that
• 3:36
  we so badly need to unlock full scale action for the first time.
• 3:47
  Ben, that was truly awful. I have to say.
• 3:50
  Truly awful. So he's 63 and he's terrified.
• 3:53
  I'm 70 and I'm absolutely not terrified except to deranged
• 3:58
  people like this. This is just absolutely
• 4:00
  incredible that this country's got in the state it has.
• 4:04
  I know. We need to call these people.
• 4:06
  Out. They're really having it up,
• 4:07
  aren't they? The grace and the good gathering
• 4:10
  together in Westminster Hall to talk about fighting back against
• 4:14
  disinformation and all of the terrible things of the world.
• 4:17
  And it's, and it's all kind of the way it's presented.
• 4:19
  It's kind of black and dark and bleak and foreboding.
• 4:23
  And it's all LED out by this guy Chris.
• 4:24
  Chris Packham, who has ACBI, only found this out when I was
• 4:28
  looking at this over the past couple of days.
• 4:30
  So he's one of the top people in the British establishment
• 4:33
  leading this thing out in Westminster Hall in the seat of
• 4:36
  power. And it's all a little bit Big
• 4:39
  Brother, isn't it? It's a bit in sock.
• 4:41
  Look at that, the colours, the presentation, I mean, it's not
• 4:47
  very subtle. This is a big propaganda push.
• 4:51
  So Packham's at the forefront. They've got 10 experts from
• 4:56
  nature and food security and climate and national security.
• 5:00
  So they've got a former Lieutenant General there.
• 5:02
  So obviously you've got to get the Army involved because this
• 5:04
  is now a national security issue.
• 5:06
  And then people talking about economics, health, extreme
• 5:09
  weather. It's chaired by Mike Berners
• 5:11
  Lee, who's Tim Berners. Lee's brother is the lesser
• 5:15
  known Berners Lee. Tim Berners Lee obviously
• 5:18
  invented the Internet and they're talking to quite a
• 5:21
  substantial bunch of people actually.
• 5:23
  So there were a bunch of celebs there faith figures Jarvis
• 5:28
  Cocker was there and then also this guy.
• 5:30
  If you don't know if you noticed this in in the film, they
• 5:34
  actually said when he said great people it cut to that fellow.
• 5:37
  Do you know that is Brian I'm. Afraid I don't.
• 5:39
  Is that UK? Everybody should do Is Zach
• 5:42
  Polanski. So I think, well, they're going
• 5:46
  to pose the question, yeah. Because in this big propaganda
• 5:49
  exercise where the world's coming to an end and it cuts in
• 5:53
  the video to say that there are some great people out there and
• 5:56
  it goes directly to Zach Polanski.
• 5:58
  Has he been chosen? Is this our new chosen political
• 6:02
  leader? Well, certainly for the young,
• 6:04
  younger generation, he hears this is the the person leading
• 6:08
  out the conversation around eco populism and putting a nice
• 6:13
  shiny happy face on communism. Basically, that's the game that
• 6:17
  they're playing with with Polanski and what's going on in
• 6:20
  the the general discourse at the moment.
• 6:22
  And actually he he delivered a few words of his own about what
• 6:25
  he saw at the event, which we can have a little listen to now.
• 6:28
  I think this is probably the biggest piece of information I'd
• 6:30
  want anyone to take away from today.
• 6:32
  Taking action is not a sacrifice.
• 6:35
  It's not even a problem. Taking action is the opportunity
• 6:38
  here. There are so many wins.
• 6:39
  Here for any government around the creation of jobs around.
• 6:42
  And the creation of warm, affordable homes, cleaner air,
• 6:45
  better walking and cycling, and also bringing communities
• 6:48
  together. We are seeing the rise of
• 6:50
  fascism in this country. And I don't think that's
• 6:52
  hyperbole. And far too often that's because
• 6:54
  people feel politics is being done to them rather than with
• 6:57
  them. What we heard over and over in
• 6:59
  the briefing today was more and more ways that politics can be
• 7:02
  done with communities where people can be at the heart of Co
• 7:05
  design and also we can improve both people's lives.
• 7:08
  And the climate crisis and the nature emergency.
• 7:11
  How is that not worth doing? The first action I hope any
• 7:14
  elected politician will take is to talk about this more, to make
• 7:17
  sure that when we talk about it, we are always talking about it
• 7:20
  in terms of opportunities, that yes, there is a threat, that it
• 7:23
  is an emergency. We need to be really clear about
• 7:25
  that. But actually, if we act now,
• 7:27
  there are ways we can turn this around and actually make sure
• 7:30
  we're investing in our communities.
• 7:32
  If we don't act now, there won't be opportunities because we will
• 7:35
  just be struggling to survive. The choice here is quite stark
• 7:39
  and it's really important that all of us make the right choice.
• 7:44
  Ben, he's talking about fascism, he's part of it.
• 7:47
  Green fascism, absolutely what we're talking about, This is a
• 7:51
  fascistic movement. It's coloured green.
• 7:55
  He, I could not agree, agree more.
• 7:58
  And he's, he's the propaganda mouthpiece of choice at the
• 8:01
  moment. What did he say there?
• 8:03
  It's not just a climate crisis, it's also a nature emergency.
• 8:07
  And then he slips in there that we're going to create loads of
• 8:09
  new jobs which are all going to be funded through extravagant
• 8:12
  borrowing. He was actually talking about
• 8:14
  tripling the public debt last week, saying this is a great way
• 8:17
  for us to rebuild the economies by going to borrow a lot of
• 8:19
  money from the banks. Craziness, The fact that walking
• 8:23
  and cycling is a good thing are you're not going to be able to
• 8:25
  drive. He talked about Co designs so
• 8:28
  that these deliberative processes, pseudo democratic
• 8:31
  processes that they want to introduce and they're
• 8:33
  positioning it as a World War Two level mobilisation and they
• 8:38
  want to have a full public briefing across all of the
• 8:40
  national broadcast networks. And that's what this
• 8:44
  organization is pushing for. It's already begun to gain
• 8:46
  traction. So we can see here there's a few
• 8:49
  pieces of media coverage. This was shared on LinkedIn by a
• 8:52
  lady called Bianca Pitt. You can see on the right hand
• 8:55
  side there, she's Co founder of something called She Changes
• 8:58
  Climate. Diane's going to talk about this
• 9:00
  a bit more, this kind of intertwining of gender and
• 9:03
  climate issues. And she's also tagged this
• 9:06
  person below, Sandra and Dixon declared from the Club of Rome,
• 9:12
  various BBC journalists, right. So this is absolutely top tier
• 9:16
  propaganda, globalist propaganda around climate change.
• 9:19
  You can see what they're going. I mean, we've already been
• 9:21
  subjected to to the messaging around this.
• 9:23
  But look at the image here. You know, everything bad around
• 9:26
  the world is being presented in the context of total breakdown
• 9:29
  of society and who's behind this.
• 9:31
  So it's the science basically. So we've got a bunch of NGOs and
• 9:36
  academic organisations, and the one that really caught my
• 9:39
  actually was one at the bottom in the centre there, the Climate
• 9:41
  Reality Project, which is Al Gore.
• 9:44
  And he set that up with the money that he made from the film
• 9:46
  Inconvenient Truth, which came out in the early 2000s, in which
• 9:50
  I seem to remember him predicting that New York would
• 9:53
  be underwater by 2020, which it isn't, which is probably quite
• 9:57
  inconvenient for the entire narrative.
• 9:59
  But anyway, this is going to continue and they're going to
• 10:02
  keep on amping it up. So what's this space?
• 10:05
  Watch this space. So, Diane, welcome to today's
• 10:09
  news and take us into climate and gender, if you can believe
• 10:13
  such a thing. Yes, Thanks, Brian, and hello
• 10:16
  everyone. It's great to be here today.
• 10:18
  I I want to start first with a very local story that was just
• 10:22
  released a couple of days ago, both in the BBC and other
• 10:25
  mainstream outlets. This is a a man, his name is
• 10:30
  Ryan and he was actually recently convicted and tried
• 10:35
  under the charges of molestation of a girl when she was 13 years
• 10:39
  old. This was held at Newcastle Crown
• 10:41
  Court. He is being held in a man's
• 10:44
  prison at HMP Durham, waiting for to see where he's going to
• 10:48
  end up from from here because he will be spending a few years in
• 10:50
  prison. The interesting thing about the
• 10:52
  story, which is the case with all of these stories that are
• 10:55
  coming up recently, is that this man has decided to put on make
• 11:00
  up and a dress and call himself Natalie Wolf and his slash her
• 11:05
  pronouns were respected. So being called a woman while he
• 11:10
  was in court. So in the court documents as
• 11:12
  well as in the media. Now I want to say that this is
• 11:15
  this relates because of the issues with gender and all of
• 11:18
  the confusion that they're, they're putting in front of us
• 11:21
  to make us understand, you know what, who would be against
• 11:24
  violence against women and who would be against, of course,
• 11:27
  misgendering, of course, because that is also not inclusive at
• 11:30
  all whatsoever. So if we go into what I saw on
• 11:34
  Facebook a few days ago from the UN and I posted this on my
• 11:38
  Facebook page and I had a lot of interesting comments from thank
• 11:41
  you to all the UK column members who responded to this.
• 11:44
  The UN Environment Program reported on the 25th of November
• 11:47
  on Facebook that quote climate change affects us all, but its
• 11:50
  impacts are not equal. As temperatures rise, existing
• 11:53
  vulnerabilities deepen, increasing the risks of gender
• 11:56
  based violence facing women and girls.
• 11:59
  Research shows that every 1°C increase in global temperature
• 12:04
  is associated with a 4.7% rise in intimate partner violence.
• 12:08
  So apparently as we experience global boiling, there will be
• 12:12
  more intimate partner violence. And they talked about the
• 12:15
  International Day for the Elimination of Violence against
• 12:18
  Women. So of course, you know, no
• 12:20
  decent person would be against fighting against violence
• 12:24
  against women, of course. So I what I was really
• 12:27
  interested in is how they made this connection between the
• 12:30
  increase in the temperature and intimate partner violence.
• 12:33
  So they have this report on the UN website called the Spotlight
• 12:37
  Initiative report from a couple of years ago.
• 12:40
  Actually this was a few months ago, I believe, talking about
• 12:42
  how the climate crisis fuels gender based violence.
• 12:46
  And so within this report, we see this enlightening
• 12:50
  infographic saying that these are these increases in partner
• 12:54
  violence are linked to extreme weather events, including
• 12:57
  droughts, floods and storms. So I followed through the
• 13:00
  citations to see that what they were actually citing and where
• 13:03
  they got this from. So I found a couple of academic
• 13:06
  papers that were cited in the report.
• 13:09
  The first one here is is from JAMA Psychiatry.
• 13:12
  And this is all about low and middle income South Asian
• 13:17
  countries. So not exactly generalizable to
• 13:20
  the entire planet, of course, because it is already warm in
• 13:22
  South Asia and we can't make any sort of relationships to
• 13:26
  anywhere else around the world where this is already going to
• 13:29
  be a warm environment compared to the UK or other places.
• 13:33
  It also cited a paper from 2023 in the Scottish Journal of a
• 13:37
  Political Economy called Temperature and Intimate Partner
• 13:40
  Violence. This was looking at developing
• 13:43
  countries, 34 of them, and saying that an increase in
• 13:46
  temperature raises the risk of intimate partner violence,
• 13:49
  saying these could be attributable to the loss of
• 13:51
  control proxy by alcohol use and worse labor market outcomes.
• 13:56
  So of course, alcohol use is not really related to climate as far
• 14:01
  as I know, and neither are labor market outcomes.
• 14:04
  So I'm not really sure how that relates to environment.
• 14:07
  But related to this, it, if we go back to COP 30, which as
• 14:10
  we've covered previously, it was not a success this this this
• 14:14
  year COP 30 at all, but they announced that there was going
• 14:18
  to be this gender action plan. There have been previous gender
• 14:21
  action plans from the UN. This one is all about climate
• 14:25
  agenda and climate crisis and especially how this impacts
• 14:28
  women and girls. And if we go into the
• 14:31
  documentation supporting COP 30s climate change and gender action
• 14:36
  plan, it says this quote from this former UN higher
• 14:39
  commissioner for the human rights Mary Robinson said,
• 14:42
  quote, climate change is a man made problem that requires A
• 14:45
  feminist solution. So there's some gendered
• 14:48
  language there for you. So apparently the feminists need
• 14:51
  to go fix this man made problem. So you men are apparently the
• 14:54
  problem. And you see this again from the
• 14:56
  UN women saying feminist climate justice framework for action.
• 15:00
  So we have to take a feminist approach to get justice for the
• 15:03
  climate. If we look at the actual Gender
• 15:06
  Gender action plan, it says specifically talking about women
• 15:10
  in and sort of communities around the world, especially in
• 15:14
  particular, recognize the contribution of women and girls
• 15:17
  of African descent to climate action.
• 15:19
  So that would not include me or anyone native to, you know,
• 15:24
  countries that are not African. So let's take a video.
• 15:27
  There was a video, a short clip here of some women who were
• 15:31
  fighting for climate justice just in the past couple of
• 15:34
  weeks. Let's see what happened in this
• 15:36
  inspiring video. Do we want where do we want to
• 15:42
  go? Climate justice demands gender
• 15:47
  justice, not as a side note, but as a foundation.
• 15:52
  When women and diverse group of people lead, our communities
• 15:57
  strive. This is not theory.
• 16:00
  This is evidence. We are here to demand parties in
• 16:05
  the corridor, to demand government that they do.
• 16:09
  The action plan must be bold. That's the danger.
• 16:12
  Action Plan must honor the weight of these baskets.
• 16:30
  So we're seeing that, but we're also seeing as reported by the
• 16:33
  Guardian and other mainstream sources leading up to COP 30 and
• 16:37
  during COP 30 that there are issues with the definition of
• 16:40
  gender. So they're calling so-called
• 16:42
  conservative states such as Saudi Arabia and Iran are
• 16:45
  getting in the way of of this particular bit of progress
• 16:48
  because they're saying that we can no longer talk about women
• 16:52
  and as actual biological women, we have to include trans women
• 16:54
  and so on, Which brings me back to the beginning of that segment
• 16:57
  about the man who's just been convicted of child sexual abuse.
• 17:01
  So, Brian, I think there's a lot of confusion going on that
• 17:04
  they're using to push the climate agenda.
• 17:06
  As Ben also showed in the first segment, this contributes to
• 17:08
  this national emergency that we are all apparently facing,
• 17:11
  Brian. Diane, thank you very much for
• 17:14
  that. Clearly we'll be talking about
• 17:16
  this subject more in extra time because it's so incredible, but
• 17:20
  we can see people severely reframed in their belief system
• 17:26
  and we've got utter madness unfolding.
• 17:29
  This is an attack both on women and men in this world and it's
• 17:34
  got to be called out for what it is, a psychological attack.
• 17:38
  It's deliberate, it's calculated and this is not nonsense.
• 17:42
  We know many people in the UK, call them audience, look at this
• 17:45
  sort of material and say this is utterly ridiculous, it's
• 17:49
  complete nonsense. While it may be both those
• 17:52
  things, but it's also incredibly dangerous.
• 17:55
  So we need to call it out for what it is.
• 17:57
  Now let's move from some of that nonsense to the fact that the
• 18:02
  SAS are still under investigation at the moment to
• 18:05
  possible essentially crimes on the battlefield in Afghanistan
• 18:10
  and the BBC very big article today talking about SAS war
• 18:15
  crime evidence being suppressed. The enquiry has been hearing and
• 18:20
  if we put a bit of meat on the bones, that Panorama of course
• 18:24
  crowing may be quite rightly that it revealed that 54
• 18:28
  detainees and unarmed men have been killed by the AS in
• 18:32
  suspicious circumstances in a six months tour.
• 18:36
  It went on to say. The article went on to say that
• 18:38
  both General Carlton Smith and Lieutenant General Jonathan
• 18:41
  Page, the proceeding Director of Special Forces, were named in
• 18:46
  proceedings in relation to claims they'd failed to inform
• 18:50
  the Royal Military Police of these allegations of very
• 18:54
  serious crimes. So it went on here with an
• 18:58
  individual simply called N1466 High Seniority.
• 19:05
  And he told the inquiry he'd been made aware of whistleblower
• 19:09
  testimony that SAS troopers have been heard bragging during a
• 19:13
  training course about killing or fighting age males during
• 19:17
  operations, regardless of whether they posed a threat or
• 19:21
  not. And if we go in?
• 19:23
  He also told the enquiry he first became concerned back in
• 19:26
  February 2011 after noticing that SAS reports coming back
• 19:31
  from Afghanistan showed the regiment was killing people in
• 19:34
  suspicious circumstances and in unusually high numbers, with too
• 19:40
  few enemy weapons recovered from some operations to justify the
• 19:44
  numbers of deaths. And if we go on, he also
• 19:48
  committed, sorry, regardless, sorry, the duplication there.
• 19:53
  Apologies for that. So this was part of the BB CS
• 19:57
  original investigate report that they went to one of the
• 20:01
  locations where a group of men had been killed.
• 20:04
  And what they found out the location were many bullet holes
• 20:08
  which were low down on the building walls, suggesting that
• 20:12
  the people had been shot while they were actually lying on the
• 20:14
  ground and in some of these horrific happenings.
• 20:18
  That young children, very young children who were in bed with
• 20:22
  their parents were also killed. So the BBC digging this out and
• 20:27
  if I just come on to this one here, two former heads of all UK
• 20:32
  special forces suppressed evidence and this was told to a
• 20:37
  public inquiry in closed evidence sessions.
• 20:40
  And the point that I'm making here is that we've got very,
• 20:44
  very serious stuff coming to light.
• 20:46
  But of course the public isn't Privy to everything because
• 20:50
  under security this has to be withheld from the public.
• 20:54
  We'll be more more on that particular subject a little bit
• 20:57
  later in the news. But we want to contrast the
• 21:00
  BBC's reporting of possible SAS crimes with the BBC's reporting
• 21:07
  of possible IDF crimes, which we reported on the UK column
• 21:12
  reported on a little while ago. Now.
• 21:14
  This was in relation to ABBC report called 22 girls shot in
• 21:19
  Gaza. And the BBC World Service pieced
• 21:23
  together the story of the two little girls, both 6, and they
• 21:27
  were killed in Gaza in separate incidents in November 2023 in
• 21:32
  areas where the Israel, Israeli Defence Forces was operating.
• 21:36
  And if we bring in a bit more on this, Lay and a Mirror were just
• 21:41
  two of more than 160 cases of children shot in the war in Gaza
• 21:46
  who the BBC had gathered information about.
• 21:49
  And essentially the BBC reported that in 95 of these cases the
• 21:55
  child had been shot in the head or chest.
• 21:57
  And in 59 of those, the BBC obtained testimony from
• 22:01
  eyewitnesses, either directly or via human rights organisations
• 22:05
  and medics. And the witnesses alleged that
• 22:08
  57 of these children were shot with the IDF and two were shot
• 22:12
  by Palestinians, one in celebratory gunfire and the
• 22:16
  other in a gang conflict. Now the excellent documentary
• 22:20
  here by BBC, Stephanie Hegarty of course identified that very
• 22:26
  small and very, very young and therefore very small children
• 22:30
  were being shot in the head and chest.
• 22:33
  This implicated the use of IDF snipers not for 2 girls but for
• 22:39
  many children. And this was a fantastic report
• 22:43
  that the BBC had. But this was largely tucked away
• 22:48
  on the BBC website. So if we just put that one back
• 22:51
  on screen, I'm just going to bring in this because
• 22:54
  essentially we seem to have one rule for the SAS and possible
• 22:59
  war crimes and another for the IDF.
• 23:02
  We are investigating the SAS, we are not investigating the IDF.
• 23:07
  And of course, UK is intimately involved in memorandum of
• 23:13
  understanding and partnerships both with Israel and with the
• 23:18
  IDF forces. Now Patrick Henningson and
• 23:22
  myself did a specific piece looking at the BBC documentary
• 23:30
  and we came to the end making really this statement that we
• 23:35
  strongly suggest that far from being a video document
• 23:39
  documentary buried or hidden in plain sight on the BB CS
• 23:43
  website, Miss Hegarty's work to expose a war crime in Gaza
• 23:47
  involving children should be fully acknowledged and
• 23:51
  rebroadcast internationally. Moreover, her findings should
• 23:54
  already be helping to trigger a major international backlash
• 23:59
  against IDF snipers targeting children, as well as sending out
• 24:03
  a powerful call for an end to the wider slaughter in the
• 24:07
  Middle East. And I'm going to end this
• 24:11
  segment by saying that, of course, if the SAS have carried
• 24:16
  out crimes in Afghanistan, then people need to be brought to
• 24:19
  account and brought to justice. But at the same time, if we are
• 24:24
  in bed with IDF forces who are sniping and killing children,
• 24:29
  the British government should also be calling for those IDF
• 24:32
  snipers to be brought to trial. So I think we've got a really,
• 24:37
  really serious position now when we're going to bring British
• 24:42
  military personnel, special forces into the public arena,
• 24:47
  possibly into court as a result of crimes.
• 24:50
  But apparently Israel and the IDF are simply going to get on
• 24:55
  with killing as they think necessary, and the British
• 24:58
  government isn't going to say anything.
• 25:01
  I think this is outrageous. Ben.
• 25:03
  I'm not sure what your comments are.
• 25:06
  Yes. One rule for them, one rule for
• 25:08
  everyone else, as they say. Indeed.
• 25:10
  OK, well let's move on. And the subject, Sandy, is
• 25:15
  drones. And we've now got local
• 25:17
  authorities believing they can presumably benefit from the
• 25:21
  advances in drone technology in Ukraine to spy on the UK public.
• 25:27
  Maybe that's a bit over the top, but have you got?
• 25:31
  Thank you, Brian, and good afternoon to you all.
• 25:34
  Yes, things are becoming distinctly dystopian in our in
• 25:37
  our local councils in the UK. Local authorities across Britain
• 25:42
  are assembling fleets of drones and training up staff as pilots
• 25:46
  so that it can surveil residents.
• 25:48
  More than 60 councils around the UK have staff certified to
• 25:53
  operate unmanned aerial vehicles.
• 25:55
  That's they they call them UAVs. An additional dozen councils
• 26:01
  been approached by the Civil Aviation Authority for guidance
• 26:03
  on drone regulations. Um Civil Aviation Authority data
• 26:07
  shows how um city, borough and district councils have all
• 26:11
  trained up drone pilots. But the actual numbers may well
• 26:15
  be higher because records only capture those who disclose their
• 26:18
  employer sponsored training. So the council's drone drive has
• 26:23
  sparked serious concerns over surveillance and in in our next
• 26:28
  you know the Hammersmith and Fulham council have been set to
• 26:32
  deploy drones as part of a 70 man strong lawful enforcement
• 26:37
  team which issued more than 2200 fines last year.
• 26:41
  So W London Borough of Fulham and and Hammersmith plans to use
• 26:48
  these UAVs, unmanned aerial vehicles to combat combat fly
• 26:53
  tipping and antisocial behaviour.
• 26:55
  Despite flight restrictions from nearby Heathrow Airport and
• 26:58
  Wormwood Scrubs prison, A report by the council found police do
• 27:02
  not have sufficient officer numbers to provide a visible
• 27:06
  deterrent in all cases. And they, you know, in order to
• 27:10
  take the desired action. As a result, council drones and
• 27:13
  CCTV, some of which will use live AI facial recognition, can
• 27:19
  help combat crime and antisocial behaviour.
• 27:22
  Now I think I've got a Telegraph article here from Thursday the
• 27:28
  29th which reports on how UK Council drones spy on residents,
• 27:35
  with dozens of authorities training up pilots for these for
• 27:39
  these drone operations. Now there's a company called
• 27:44
  Hired a Drone Pilot and they have included information on
• 27:48
  their website for professional drone pilots about which drone
• 27:52
  laws apply in 2026. They seem to change every year.
• 27:56
  It's a very complicated thing. They're rushing it through and
• 28:00
  so it's confusing regarding licensing, where you can fly and
• 28:04
  safety guidelines. So I just like want to have a
• 28:08
  look at Thurrock Council for for a moment because that's been
• 28:13
  given the power to use them to detect and prevent crime.
• 28:17
  Although Tendering Council has explicitly declared it will not
• 28:21
  use any drones for surveillance footage, limiting its three
• 28:25
  devices to communications and marketing.
• 28:27
  Maybe they're not being as transparent as they could be
• 28:30
  because in a document that I found from Thurrock Council, it
• 28:35
  proves that they will be used for environmental enforcement.
• 28:38
  So clearly this will be used to monitor, you know, environmental
• 28:44
  and social governance contracts and biodiversity net gain
• 28:48
  contract contracts and the compliance of those those
• 28:52
  contracts and it will be enforced with fines and
• 28:56
  sanctions. So Litchfield District Council
• 29:00
  used drones for police and environmental enforcement
• 29:04
  surveillance for planning, housing, food and health safety,
• 29:09
  emergency and and licensing. Now Newcastle City Council are
• 29:14
  using this company, it's called Heligai, which means I suppose
• 29:18
  it's a mixture of helicopters and men to train drone pilots.
• 29:23
  So we taxpayers are funding this.
• 29:26
  Does the normal person in the street actually know that this
• 29:30
  is happening? I mean, I this has all come
• 29:32
  quite quickly really. They've obviously had it
• 29:34
  undercover for quite a while, but they're beginning to
• 29:36
  announce it now. I've got APDF here from from
• 29:42
  Reading University and it's called ambition to action and
• 29:47
  it's published on I've actually put it in the show notes.
• 29:50
  So well, I've put everything in the show notes.
• 29:52
  But do look at this because it's, it really is, it's worth
• 29:56
  reading. It's it's really a, you know,
• 29:59
  they're, they're calling it, you know, from ambition to action.
• 30:03
  So this is how they're going to roll out this programme.
• 30:06
  Now. If you haven't heard of Big
• 30:08
  Brother Watch then do look at their website as they're doing a
• 30:10
  great job shining a light on digital surveillance in all its
• 30:13
  forms in the UK. So I've got this quote here from
• 30:19
  Jake Hereford about the Met Police head of he's head of
• 30:22
  research and investigations at Big Brother Watch.
• 30:25
  And he said it's concerning that potentially intrusive tech is
• 30:29
  being rolled out without any policing limiting how or when or
• 30:33
  why it might be used on councils.
• 30:36
  He said there may be a role for drones in helping councils
• 30:39
  monitor flooding or conduct land surveys, but local authorities
• 30:43
  must not use the technology as spies in the sky.
• 30:47
  Britain is already one of the most surveilled countries on
• 30:49
  earth, with CCTV cameras on every street corner.
• 30:53
  We don't need flying cameras too.
• 30:55
  Councils must make sure that they do not use this technology
• 30:58
  for intrusive monitoring of their citizens.
• 31:01
  Just because it's possible, it doesn't mean it's something they
• 31:04
  should do. Hereford's arguments are rooted
• 31:07
  in civil liberties concerns, mass surveillance,
• 31:09
  indiscriminate monitoring, lack of transparency or democratic
• 31:13
  oversight. So let's take a look at this
• 31:16
  video made by Big Brother Watch. Your local council might soon be
• 31:22
  watching you from the sky. No, not a conspiracy theory.
• 31:26
  A Freedom of Information request just revealed dozens of UK
• 31:30
  councils are training staff to fly surveillance drones, and
• 31:34
  they're not just using them for. Pretty landscape shots.
• 31:37
  More than 60 councils already have drone pilots authorised by
• 31:41
  the Civil Aviation Authority. Another 12 councils have
• 31:45
  contacted the regulator asking about drone.
• 31:48
  Laws translation Council officers are getting aerial
• 31:52
  surveillance capability and fast.
• 31:54
  All funded by taxpayers or with barely any public discussion.
• 31:59
  Councils insist drones will tackle things like fly tipping,
• 32:03
  antisocial behaviour, planning disputes, structural surveys and
• 32:08
  coastal erosion. And sure, so that makes sense.
• 32:12
  But the slippery part is buried in the details.
• 32:15
  Enforcement, fines and supporting law enforcement
• 32:18
  teams. That's where the line blurs.
• 32:21
  Hammersmith and Fulham wants drones to boost a 70 strong law
• 32:25
  enforcement team already issuing thousands of fines.
• 32:29
  Some councils plan to use the AI powered facial recognition
• 32:33
  alongside drone footage and a few of the areas are in flight
• 32:37
  restricted zones, meaning councils are flying drones in
• 32:41
  places the public legally can't. Oh, that doesn't sound
• 32:44
  dangerous? Big Brother Watch says it
• 32:46
  outright. This risks becoming spies in the
• 32:49
  sky. Britain already has some of the
• 32:52
  heaviest CCTV surveillance in the world.
• 32:55
  Add drones and you've got mobile cameras that can peer into
• 32:58
  gardens, windows, workplaces or anywhere public enough to
• 33:03
  justify it. When councils say it's about
• 33:05
  safety, they actually mean we don't have enough police, so
• 33:09
  we'll surveillate ourselves. When they say it's about flight
• 33:13
  tipping, they mean new fines incoming.
• 33:18
  Well, that just really says it how it is.
• 33:21
  Now let's take a look at this short clip from China and you
• 33:24
  can see where this surveillance state in the UK is headed.
• 33:35
  We're seeing reports and footage out of China showing traffic
• 33:38
  police utilizing drone technology for aerial monitoring
• 33:43
  of roadways. Now on one level, this is a
• 33:46
  clear example of accelerated technology adoption in the
• 33:50
  public sector, but looking deeper, it points towards a
• 33:53
  major step in enhancing public administration through tech.
• 33:58
  What could be termed the modernization of social
• 34:00
  governance? Think about it.
• 34:02
  The arc of human progress has always been intrinsically linked
• 34:06
  to advancements in science and technology.
• 34:09
  Every major technological innovation fundamentally
• 34:12
  reshapes how we live, work and interact.
• 34:21
  Very concerning, I think. And and people, this is
• 34:25
  happening at great speed, Brian, isn't it?
• 34:27
  Anyway, back to you. Thank you very much for that,
• 34:31
  Sandy. I think this stuff is immensely
• 34:33
  concerning and it's the speed it's coming in without any form
• 34:37
  of proper discussion with the public as to whether the public
• 34:41
  wants it or indeed it's needed. So again, this is another
• 34:45
  subject we'll bring in to UK Columns extra after the news
• 34:49
  today. Now, as always, a huge thank you
• 34:53
  to everybody supporting UK Column financially.
• 34:56
  We can only do what we do because of your financial
• 34:59
  support. So many, Many thanks to
• 35:02
  everybody that is supporting us on a monthly or annual basis or
• 35:06
  with donations. But if you're listening in or
• 35:08
  watching UK Column news, we need your help to keep going and also
• 35:13
  to expand. So if you're not, if you're not
• 35:17
  one of the people helping us financially, please consider
• 35:22
  getting onto the website and clicking here to support our
• 35:27
  work and to come on board and help us financially.
• 35:31
  That's really important. Now, we've got a number of
• 35:34
  things coming out. We've got Germ Warfare,
• 35:38
  Contagion of Idiocy with Todd Hayon tonight at 7:00 PM, and
• 35:44
  we've also got Silk and Steel Podcast tonight at 9:00 PM.
• 35:49
  Is the US pivoting to war in Latin America, as with Ben
• 35:53
  Norton? And I'm sure that will be an
• 35:55
  absolutely fascinating discussion.
• 35:58
  Diane, we've got a couple here which I think you might like to
• 36:01
  take us through the Ditchley Foundation.
• 36:05
  Yes, thanks, Brian. There's two new articles that
• 36:07
  have been published recently in the past two days.
• 36:09
  So as the commissioning editor for written content, I'd like to
• 36:12
  mention them briefly. This one is by Mark Anderson.
• 36:14
  I believe he will probably be doing some future reporting when
• 36:17
  he's back next on the news. But he is here uncovered the
• 36:20
  Ditchley Foundation, which is related to the globalist
• 36:23
  organizations that he talks about such as the Bilderbergers.
• 36:26
  But this is one that people may not have heard about, which is
• 36:29
  quite influential. So take a look at that one.
• 36:33
  And here's a new one from Professor David Miller.
• 36:35
  This is Part 1 of the two-part series on Doctor Emma Bryant,
• 36:40
  who is an academic in the UK and he's using Emma Bryant as an
• 36:45
  example for how academics can easily be Co opted by
• 36:49
  intelligence agencies and used for nefarious purposes that they
• 36:53
  may not have intended to do otherwise.
• 36:54
  It's very revealing and this is just an interview that I was
• 36:59
  aired last week, a podcast I did with Kelly Oliver, Oliver
• 37:03
  Dougal. She interviewed me about my
• 37:06
  process of being cancelled by academia and by librarianship,
• 37:09
  and how I found my way here to my wonderful World with UK
• 37:12
  column Brian. OK, thank you very much.
• 37:16
  Now UK Column regulars will know that we've been working with
• 37:20
  Jake Fern the artist, in order to help promote his fantastic
• 37:24
  work painting people but also interviewing them at the same
• 37:28
  time. UK Column team were able to get
• 37:31
  up to London on Thursday evening in order to see a special event
• 37:37
  that Jake and his wife had put on.
• 37:39
  And we've got a little promotional film clip here,
• 37:44
  which not only tells our audience a lot about Jake and
• 37:48
  his fantastic work, but also tells a little bit about the
• 37:51
  story, about how UK Column has come alongside Jake in order to
• 37:56
  help him do what he does and in order to help spread the word in
• 38:01
  a little bit more of a light hearted cultural way.
• 38:05
  So let's have a look at this film clip.
• 38:09
  Spittlefields, London. A vibrant location steeped in
• 38:14
  history. A very appropriate location for
• 38:17
  this exhibition on show here, vibrant portraits of faces from
• 38:24
  the freedom movement, faces that have made history.
• 38:28
  All have been created by award-winning artist Jake Fern,
• 38:33
  who's otherwise known as The Righteous Brothers, and they've
• 38:36
  been showcased on his podcast 1000 Words.
• 38:41
  The podcast format of Jake painting his sitters in real
• 38:44
  time while having intimate conversations with them has been
• 38:48
  a resounding success. I think it shows a different
• 38:51
  side to people's characters and I think that's what people like
• 38:56
  about it. You've got 4 hours, so it just
• 38:58
  goes everywhere and anywhere unexpected.
• 39:01
  And then there's pauses and you just sit there and then and you
• 39:05
  know, I say it doesn't matter. We can just be silent for 15
• 39:09
  minutes or paint. And tonight we get to see Jake's
• 39:13
  work. Also hear some of those from the
• 39:17
  freedom movement who sat for Jake admiring the end result.
• 39:21
  When I saw it, it actually it didn't surprise me that much
• 39:25
  because Jake and I had such a great rapport.
• 39:29
  He's such a wonderful man and his lovely wife and son were
• 39:34
  there that it's sort of, I think that he was painting the, the,
• 39:40
  the atmosphere in the, I mean, most people who know me know I'm
• 39:43
  not that angelic. There are parts of me that are
• 39:47
  quite angelic, but not many. It was quite a conversation we
• 39:51
  had. I mean it was I know Jake pretty
• 39:54
  well and we had a good old ramble chat, but probably by the
• 39:59
  end it was 4 hours we were chatting.
• 40:02
  So by the end I was. I don't think either of us could
• 40:06
  put a coherent sentence together.
• 40:08
  I don't know how he does it, to be honest.
• 40:10
  It's quite astonishing. It's nice that Jakes kind of
• 40:13
  getting some recognition because he's mega talented and it's nice
• 40:17
  to see everyone coming here and supporting him.
• 40:20
  I smile a lot, probably more than I should do.
• 40:23
  And because the, what I, what I talk about is, is quite deep and
• 40:26
  serious. And what I realised that he'd
• 40:29
  done is he's painted that side of me, that strong side of me
• 40:34
  that doesn't, that really looks into the deep dark stuff.
• 40:37
  And I, I thought, my goodness, that's actually quite a powerful
• 40:41
  picture of me, which I didn't, I wasn't expecting because I, I
• 40:44
  sometimes I don't see myself like that.
• 40:47
  But what he does is he paints your journey, your journey that
• 40:51
  you know, that's brought you to this, this, this time, this,
• 40:54
  this very place in history. And I was really touched by it
• 40:58
  actually. Tonight was also a celebration
• 41:02
  of collaboration between 1000 Words and UK Column.
• 41:08
  They joined forces this year and the column is now the official
• 41:13
  broadcasting home of 1000 Words. Two of the most powerful voices
• 41:19
  in the alternative movement, uniting to bring truth to the
• 41:23
  audience, but in different ways. One in an art studio with a
• 41:28
  brush, the other in a television studio with a microphone.
• 41:33
  Both equally powerful. Art can express something that
• 41:37
  the intellect can't. You're trying to make sense of
• 41:39
  the world intellectually. That's a very external process
• 41:41
  when you're trying to make sense of the world internally.
• 41:44
  That's that's more of a like a feeling heart based.
• 41:47
  So I think the heart and the mind need to work together.
• 41:49
  So I think that's the relationship with UK column, why
• 41:52
  it works so well. I think UK column has has been
• 41:55
  the mind and now I think it's reaching out to balance that out
• 42:00
  with the heart. What comes out in 1000 Words
• 42:02
  podcast is the the expression of the brain working in its
• 42:07
  entirety. Watching Jake paint alongside
• 42:09
  having a very articulate and in depth conversation is absolutely
• 42:13
  amazing. But I think as we confront a
• 42:15
  world in which AI is being rammed down everybody's throats
• 42:18
  is the answer to everything. When in actual fact, of course
• 42:21
  it's passive because people are not creating anything.
• 42:24
  I think 1000 Words is is actually a very natural
• 42:27
  extension. Of our core product.
• 42:30
  Being the news programme because we are looking at the perhaps
• 42:34
  more prosaic sort of academic background to something and Jake
• 42:38
  is providing the extension of what it is that we're critiquing
• 42:42
  and demonstrating how things can and in my mind should be done.
• 42:47
  And it's absolutely phenomenal to see these, you know, I mean,
• 42:49
  I've seen lots of the images virtually on the screen, but to
• 42:52
  see these in the flesh, as it were, and indeed, to see some of
• 42:56
  the sitters here, the, the resemblances are uncanny.
• 42:59
  But I think just the spirit, just the, the, the thoughts that
• 43:02
  are evoked not just by 1000 words, but also The Righteous
• 43:05
  Brothers works as well. They're so provocative and
• 43:08
  evocative. I'm sure you can pick up the
• 43:10
  buzz on the, on the sound here this evening.
• 43:13
  It's a really electric atmosphere.
• 43:14
  It's absolutely fantastic. I am so glad that UK column has
• 43:18
  1000 words as part of its output.
• 43:21
  It's absolutely phenomenal. The exhibition runs until the
• 43:24
  4th of December at the Truman Gallery in Spitalfields.
• 43:28
  If you can't make it then check out 1000 words exclusively on UK
• 43:33
  Column Gemma Cooper for UK column in London.
• 43:44
  Great work by Jake and also wonderful evening and lovely
• 43:48
  people. Very uplifting.
• 43:51
  Let's move on, Ben and. Nice to see someone just before
• 43:55
  we do. It's nice to see someone you can
• 43:57
  actually paint. Most modern art is just terrible
• 44:00
  conceptual rubbish. He's actually got some real
• 44:03
  skill. Amazing.
• 44:04
  And it's to do with people. Yeah, it's brilliant.
• 44:07
  And even more powerful. Yeah.
• 44:08
  So somebody means business, Ben. Who made Who means?
• 44:13
  Business. Yeah, someone does mean
• 44:15
  business. We talk a lot on the UK column
• 44:18
  about what should I call them, clandestine networks of selected
• 44:22
  leaders of politics and industry and civil societies they call
• 44:27
  it, who are reshaping society behind the scenes for the
• 44:30
  benefit of international capital and the British ruling class, in
• 44:33
  particular the royal family. Last week we introduced you to
• 44:36
  this organization, Forward Institute, which I framed as a
• 44:40
  kind of new common purpose type entity, which is exactly what I
• 44:44
  think it is. And I also introduce you briefly
• 44:47
  to this chap who works with Forward Institute.
• 44:49
  This is certainly in Cheshire. He is many things.
• 44:52
  He used to run Kingfisher Group. So but B&Q, big retailers, he's
• 44:59
  very close to the King. He's actually the chair of the
• 45:02
  King Charles the Third charitable fund.
• 45:03
  So this is Charles's personal charitable fund.
• 45:05
  He's the chair and he's also the chair of the We mean Business
• 45:08
  Coalition, which is hence the title of the piece.
• 45:11
  And we're going to talk a little bit about about that more today.
• 45:13
  They are extremely close. So I also, I think last week
• 45:16
  showed you this photo as you can see here, they're Charles busy
• 45:19
  in Cheshire just over his left shoulders.
• 45:21
  We're looking at it with a bunch of other people, including Lord
• 45:26
  Devon at the top left there. So the point that he was chair
• 45:29
  of the Climate Change Commission and then also Sondre and Dixon
• 45:32
  declared president of the Club of Rome.
• 45:34
  So this is Climate Leadership International.
• 45:39
  This photo was taken, I believe, around 2015 at Cambridge
• 45:42
  University. And this is part of the
• 45:44
  Corporate Leaders Group, which is itself part of this
• 45:48
  organization, we mean Business Coalition, which is essentially
• 45:51
  a network of nonprofits organizations.
• 45:54
  They love to get that in there. These are all nonprofit, but
• 45:57
  they're nonprofits that just so happen to be creating a multi
• 46:00
  trillion dollar global marketplace and climate
• 46:02
  technologies for the benefit of the people who also control the
• 46:05
  nonprofits. It's generally what you see
• 46:07
  happening in this space. But let let me allow the
• 46:12
  coalition to introduce itself briefly.
• 46:13
  We've got a short video clip for you.
• 46:17
  Now is the time for every business to steer a course to a
• 46:20
  0 emissions future. From small family businesses to
• 46:24
  the biggest multinationals, we Mean Business Coalition and its
• 46:27
  partners have helped thousands of companies take vital climate
• 46:30
  action. The 4A's of Climate Leadership
• 46:33
  is the ultimate step by step guide so your business can
• 46:36
  respond to the climate crisis with ambition to deliver on that
• 46:40
  ambition with action. Secure wider change through
• 46:44
  advocacy. Dr. progress by demonstrating
• 46:47
  accountability. The resources and case studies
• 46:50
  are updated as companies learn and share their progress.
• 46:54
  Your business's future lies in a climate resilient transformation
• 46:58
  to keep up with a changing economy, to reduce supply chain
• 47:01
  risks and deliver for customers, employees and the bottom line.
• 47:05
  This is climate and business critical.
• 47:09
  Get into the forays of climate leadership, your compass for
• 47:12
  credible corporate climate action.
• 47:18
  Climate action targeted at corporate leadership?
• 47:21
  What were you going to say, Brian?
• 47:22
  You're feeling just by that. Smiling at it, somebody
• 47:25
  commented. The plunky plunk music.
• 47:28
  It's always part of the indoctrination.
• 47:30
  But climate leadership. Climate, climate, climate.
• 47:34
  Yeah, exactly. And, and very just clarity
• 47:36
  around messaging and modelling behaviors and essentially
• 47:41
  directing this is a global CEO and board level audience that
• 47:46
  this is being targeted at. And it's about getting them to
• 47:49
  behave in a very specific way and importantly to comply,
• 47:53
  right? This is all about compliance and
• 47:56
  reporting and using that as a way to direct this global
• 47:59
  transition process that we're moving through.
• 48:01
  And I'll explain a bit more about that as we go along.
• 48:04
  So as ever, this is a public private partnership, which is
• 48:07
  essentially A fascist system. We can get this up on screen.
• 48:10
  We can see business and policy, business private, policy public,
• 48:15
  yeah. So these things working in
• 48:17
  tandem with each other. They've got a theory of change
• 48:19
  which is about collaboration between business and policy.
• 48:23
  Anyone who has a theory of change, by the way, they're on
• 48:26
  the other team. If you're watching UK column,
• 48:29
  they're the people trying to transform the system.
• 48:32
  Theory of change, you hear it all over the place, particularly
• 48:34
  in the public sector. This is about leadership, this
• 48:36
  is about policy, this is about action, this is about
• 48:39
  collaboration across the system. There are 7 people involved in
• 48:42
  it. I'll just reference a few of
• 48:44
  them very quickly and then go slightly deeper paper on a
• 48:46
  couple. First one is this, this is BSR.
• 48:49
  So this is a network of of people and ideas to accelerate
• 48:54
  the transformation process very similar to this one.
• 48:58
  This is series, which is an advocacy group focused on North
• 49:01
  America, which is run by former Clinton environment leader
• 49:04
  working in the White House with the Climate Group, which is
• 49:07
  another lobbying network and advocacy group very heavily
• 49:11
  involved with New York Climate Action Week.
• 49:14
  You've also got the corporate Leaders group.
• 49:15
  This is run out of Cambridge University, CISL, which is the
• 49:20
  Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, and
• 49:23
  that's where their photo was taken that I showed you a moment
• 49:26
  ago. Also with the B team.
• 49:28
  They're also part of this coalition I've spoken about a
• 49:31
  lot over the past year or so that was founded back in 2012.
• 49:34
  I believe it was by Richard Branson, Paul Pullman who's
• 49:38
  involved in it, the former chief executive of Unilever, and
• 49:43
  they're very much into the B Corp movement as well.
• 49:47
  The kind of B is a consistent theme as we run through the the
• 49:50
  that that part of the network. Then you have this thing which
• 49:53
  is the World Business Council for Sustainable Development,
• 49:56
  which is a global network of 250 companies and they are
• 50:02
  essentially transforming. You've set out what they call
• 50:04
  pathways for transformation, right?
• 50:06
  So you've got from energy to transportation to the food
• 50:10
  system, water, you name it, they've essentially got a
• 50:13
  template for how to transform the industry and your business
• 50:18
  as part of that industry, right? So these are the, the, the
• 50:21
  blueprints that are being disseminated and, and, and, and
• 50:25
  rolled out and that forms part of a huge toolkit.
• 50:28
  So that toolkit I just showed you use one component part of a
• 50:33
  whole kind of arsenal, these different materials, whether
• 50:36
  it's his press releases that you can issue or or infographics
• 50:40
  that you can use to build the case for change or whatever it
• 50:42
  might be that you as a chief executive can go to.
• 50:46
  And then you can present that internally or you can use that
• 50:49
  to talk to your customers with. And that's all managed centrally
• 50:52
  through this organization, we mean Business Coalition and and
• 50:56
  the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
• 50:59
  A final member of the coalition is this one.
• 51:01
  This is CDP, which is the carbon Disclosure project.
• 51:07
  And this is all about compliance and data.
• 51:12
  It's been going for 25 years and they have financial institutions
• 51:18
  representing 1/4 of all global institutional assets.
• 51:21
  That's $60 trillion in capital. Financial institutions sitting
• 51:27
  on top of that much money with that much money to direct
• 51:30
  towards investment in industrial transformation are users of this
• 51:35
  system. And they also have 2/3 of global
• 51:38
  market capitalisation from from, from, from, from the market.
• 51:41
  It's basically 2/3 of all listed companies on stock exchanges
• 51:45
  anywhere in the world are using this tool in order to report
• 51:49
  their climate performance so that they can then track
• 51:51
  themselves against other people in industries and, and
• 51:54
  essentially align themselves. This technocratic agenda that's
• 51:57
  being handed down by, by people who are defining policies.
• 52:00
  And this is, as I say, it's been going for 25 years.
• 52:03
  And you can see how it's developed over time to, to
• 52:05
  include things like the introduction of the
• 52:08
  International Sustainability Standards Board, ISSB in 2021 to
• 52:14
  introduce SEC compliance from the US.
• 52:17
  Because actually a lot of this is the SEC is the, is the
• 52:20
  Securities Commission. So a lot of this is about
• 52:22
  financial reporting. This is the elevation of the
• 52:24
  chief financial officer into the position of, of, of compliance
• 52:28
  with, with climate issues. They've introduced the EU
• 52:32
  taxonomy for climate regulation. You've got IFRS, global
• 52:35
  accounting standards which are being transformed again in order
• 52:39
  to, to, to drive compliance. And basically this means that
• 52:42
  accountants are now running the world.
• 52:44
  I mean, they probably already were behind the scenes, but this
• 52:47
  is really consolidating the, the power of the the bean counters
• 52:51
  in, in terms of how our society is being run as well as that
• 52:56
  kind of core coalition. They're also a bunch of
• 52:58
  strategic partners because this is a huge global network, right?
• 53:02
  It's absolutely enormous, vast touches on every area of the
• 53:05
  global economic system. Bunch of these we've talked
• 53:08
  about before, the Climate Pledge, that's the Jeff Bezos's
• 53:11
  thing. You've got Mission, possible
• 53:13
  partnership. That's a bunch of the big tech
• 53:15
  companies. All of this align to the SDGS
• 53:17
  and that global agenda. And then there's a network
• 53:21
  around that as well. C40 cities are in there.
• 53:25
  You can see counselling for inclusive capitalism, That's
• 53:27
  Linda Rothschild. You've got lots of UN bodies.
• 53:31
  You've got the World Economic Forum at the bottom there.
• 53:34
  And another interesting one that jumped out at me is ISO.
• 53:37
  So that's the International Organization for
• 53:39
  Standardization. So again, this is all about
• 53:42
  making all businesses, all organisations everywhere operate
• 53:46
  from the same template and legislating to make that the
• 53:49
  case essentially, right? This is what this organization
• 53:52
  is up to. It's funded by, amongst other
• 53:55
  people, the IKEA Foundation. So IKEA all over this space
• 53:59
  playing huge amounts of money into this global transition and
• 54:03
  behind the scenes is kind of where we started.
• 54:05
  You got this fella pulling the strings.
• 54:10
  We've got to cover a lot more on this.
• 54:11
  This is the power base, isn't it?
• 54:14
  And King Charles there right in the middle of those trillions of
• 54:18
  dollars to push this policy worldwide.
• 54:22
  A lot more to be said, Diane. Let's bring you back on screen.
• 54:26
  And you're going to be having a look at white pandemic, which is
• 54:31
  another piece of mental reframing which unknown persons
• 54:35
  are pushing for worldwide policy.
• 54:38
  Yeah, that's true, Brian. And I guess, you know, back in
• 54:41
  2020 and 2021, if they didn't try to terrify the public enough
• 54:45
  with COVID, they were also trying to warn us of a whiteness
• 54:49
  pandemic at the same time. And this is apparently an
• 54:51
  ongoing pandemic. This report was just released
• 54:54
  just last week from an organization called Defending
• 54:58
  Education. They're based in America.
• 55:00
  They are a national grassroots organization, as they say they
• 55:03
  are working to restore schools at all levels from activists
• 55:07
  imposing harmful agendas. So I'm not sure why this was
• 55:10
  picked up now because this paper came out a few years ago.
• 55:12
  But it's interesting because it's been picked up in a lot of
• 55:16
  different places, including in India, Australia and here in the
• 55:20
  UK. We see this report from the
• 55:22
  Daily Mail from a few days ago with their headlines saying the
• 55:25
  University of Minnesota program offers guidelines to quote,
• 55:29
  reverse the whiteness pandemic. And this is an organization, as
• 55:34
  we said, from the University of Minnesota.
• 55:36
  What's interesting about it is that they are called the Culture
• 55:41
  and Family Life Lab. So they they appear to be rooted
• 55:44
  in psychology, not in any sort of medical epidemiology, but
• 55:50
  they talk about racism being an epidemic.
• 55:54
  According to the Center for Disease Control in 2021, that
• 55:58
  can also be considered a pandemic given its large cross
• 56:01
  national proportion and spread. And that is according to the
• 56:04
  American Psychological Association in 2020.
• 56:07
  And they said, however, there is another pandemic lurking behind
• 56:11
  and driving the racism pandemic, the whiteness pandemic.
• 56:14
  So it's like a pandemic behind a pandemic.
• 56:18
  And so it's really interesting just to see exactly how this
• 56:21
  language works out. So let's look at this paper that
• 56:24
  was cited as part of this report.
• 56:27
  The the paper was published by the American Psychological
• 56:30
  Association in a journal called American Psychologist in 2021.
• 56:34
  The article was called The Whiteness pandemic behind the
• 56:38
  Racism pandemic. Familia Whiteness socialization
• 56:41
  in Minneapolis following hashtag George Floyd's killing and from
• 56:46
  the abstract we see the end of the abstract of the article
• 56:49
  saying that collectively color evasion and power evasion
• 56:53
  pathogens. So there's a medical term.
• 56:55
  Pathogens of the whiteness pandemic are inexorably
• 56:59
  transmitted within families with white parents serving as
• 57:03
  carriers to their children unless they take active
• 57:05
  preventative measures rooted in anti racism and equity
• 57:10
  promotion. And so it talks about, if you
• 57:13
  read the impact statement from the article, which I won't go
• 57:15
  into in detail, but you can read the full article yourself, talks
• 57:18
  about the George Floyd, George Floyd incident, Black lives
• 57:22
  matter. Children need to be color
• 57:25
  conscious and parents need to be aware of this.
• 57:28
  Now the interesting thing about this paper is that it wasn't
• 57:31
  just published. It won an award from the
• 57:33
  American Psychological Association called the George A
• 57:36
  Miller Award for an outstanding recent article on general
• 57:40
  psychology. And the author of the paper.
• 57:43
  So this woman that I was speaking about just a minute,
• 57:46
  who was the first author, was expected to give an invited
• 57:49
  address at the subsequent American Psychological
• 57:52
  Association's annual convention and invited to provide a copy of
• 57:55
  the word presentation for inclusion of the society's
• 57:58
  newsletter. So let's look at Professor Gale
• 58:00
  Ferguson's staff profile. Of course, her pronouns are she,
• 58:04
  her, hers. So that's informative.
• 58:06
  Her interests reside at the interface of development
• 58:09
  psychology, cross cultural psychology and clinical
• 58:12
  psychology with a focus on understanding the implications
• 58:16
  of 21st century globalization for cultural socialization.
• 58:21
  So she's focused on children's psychology and and teaching
• 58:24
  things about children. You have to ask what that last
• 58:27
  sentence is she a globalist? But let's watch a video of her
• 58:30
  talking about the whiteness pandemic herself.
• 58:33
  We posit that there is a whiteness pandemic behind the
• 58:37
  racism pandemic, and that this begins in the family system
• 58:41
  where young children are socialized into the culture of
• 58:45
  whiteness within white families. Our first recommendation is to
• 58:48
  remember that the whiteness pandemic is a pandemic.
• 58:52
  So if you were born and raised in the United States, especially
• 58:54
  in a white family, then you've been raised in the pandemic and
• 58:57
  you can play a role in halting and reversing this pandemic.
• 59:02
  We have two specific recommendations to that end.
• 59:05
  The first is for white parents to invest time in their own
• 59:08
  racial identity development through joining an organization
• 59:13
  like. Showing up for racial.
• 59:14
  Justice or your local BLM chapter.
• 59:20
  So, Brian, I don't know what you think of that, but to me, it's
• 59:23
  just another form of indoctrinating children into
• 59:25
  being afraid or being ashamed of who they are, being afraid that
• 59:29
  there was another pandemic going on at the same time.
• 59:32
  And you know, frankly, what is this doing to the minds of our
• 59:35
  children? Utterly incredible and so much
• 59:41
  to talk about there and particularly when we have a look
• 59:44
  at problems that black families are facing in America.
• 59:47
  But again, we we haven't got time in today's news.
• 59:50
  We'll see what we can do in extra and in the coming weeks.
• 59:55
  Now, just very quickly, I just wanted to bring people's minds
• 59:58
  back on the fact that in UK we've got a very serious
• 1:00:02
  movement to get rid of jury trials.
• 1:00:05
  UK called news has already been talking about this, but we
• 1:00:08
  really need to keep it at the forefront of our minds.
• 1:00:12
  This is Parliament politics here, talking about Lammy
• 1:00:16
  wanting to scrap jury trials. And of course, the excuses.
• 1:00:21
  COVID created such a huge backlog.
• 1:00:24
  That's the only way of dealing with it is to get rid of juries,
• 1:00:28
  bring in AI and get these hearings over with as soon as
• 1:00:33
  possible just in front of a judge.
• 1:00:35
  I just wanted to highlight here that of course the Leveson
• 1:00:38
  so-called independent review of the criminal courts focuses very
• 1:00:44
  much in my opinion, on the front page with the Talmud.
• 1:00:47
  When justice sleeps, justice is cancelled and I think we could
• 1:00:52
  have a long conversation about whether we should be looking at
• 1:00:55
  a Christian influence to justice in this country and common law,
• 1:01:00
  or whether we should be heading in the direction of Leveson's
• 1:01:04
  Talmud. But that's probably a discussion
• 1:01:06
  discussion for another time. But UK column has covered a lot
• 1:01:12
  on this subject already and in particular bias in the court
• 1:01:16
  system. This was from last week when I
• 1:01:19
  was talking with Patrick Henningson and guest Basil
• 1:01:24
  Valentine looking at how Palestine action have been dealt
• 1:01:28
  with by manipulation of the the judge.
• 1:01:31
  He was taken off the case and a panel of three put in.
• 1:01:35
  But also let's remember the Covert Human Intelligence
• 1:01:38
  Sources Criminal Conduct Bill which came in October 2020 and
• 1:01:44
  this article on the UK Column website and not only saying what
• 1:01:49
  it was to what the bill was to do.
• 1:01:52
  There's no express limit within the Bill on the type of criminal
• 1:01:56
  conduct that can be authorised. I'll read that again.
• 1:01:59
  There is no express limit within the Bill on the type of criminal
• 1:02:03
  conduct that can be authorised. So this is the government giving
• 1:02:07
  itself and it's agents the power to break the law.
• 1:02:12
  That being the case, Ben, I'm going to suggest there is no
• 1:02:15
  law, but also we want to highlight that the military were
• 1:02:20
  part of the agents who were to be enabled to break the law.
• 1:02:27
  Now, think about where we started at the beginning of
• 1:02:29
  today's news, talking about the SAS and possible crimes on the
• 1:02:34
  battlefield in Afghanistan. But under this law, it was quite
• 1:02:39
  acceptable for the military to actually be breaking the law.
• 1:02:43
  No law in the UK. Therefore, how can we stand on
• 1:02:47
  the international stage and criticize other nations for what
• 1:02:51
  they do and do not do in their own countries or in their
• 1:02:56
  operations and involvement with other countries and overseas?
• 1:03:02
  Then much to be discussed. Sandy, let's bring you in.
• 1:03:06
  We're going to end on positive things.
• 1:03:08
  So we're bringing in a lot that's wrong, but it's a fact
• 1:03:12
  that many people are starting to stand up and challenge the
• 1:03:15
  system. And tell us a bit about what the
• 1:03:18
  farmers were up to in London. Well, yes, I wasn't expecting to
• 1:03:23
  go up on Wednesday, but I did on the request of some of the
• 1:03:28
  Denmark and Cornwall farmers who I've been in touch with.
• 1:03:31
  Now things did change in Whitehall because the the plan
• 1:03:35
  was, and they've been planning this with the Met Police for a
• 1:03:38
  couple of months was to for the Met Police would allow them to
• 1:03:42
  bring their tractors into Whitehall.
• 1:03:44
  They were even allowed to drop a 6 tons of compost outside the
• 1:03:51
  gate of #10 so long as they swept it up afterwards.
• 1:03:54
  That was the agreement. Umm, at the last minute the
• 1:03:57
  police cancelled everything and said you can't bring your
• 1:03:59
  tractors into Whitehall. And they were already there.
• 1:04:02
  They were already in London, So what could they do?
• 1:04:04
  It takes a lot of cost and effort to bring tractors all the
• 1:04:07
  way from the West Country and all over England.
• 1:04:10
  Uh, some of them had come from up north everywhere.
• 1:04:13
  And so they were told they couldn't bring their tractors
• 1:04:16
  in. So what do they do with them?
• 1:04:17
  They parked them in other places in Trafalgar Square, so her and
• 1:04:22
  all around, all around. So this is the, the, the protest
• 1:04:28
  really was diminished because of this, this decision by the Met
• 1:04:32
  Police and the, the farmers were furious.
• 1:04:35
  Now we've, I've got AI took a few shots and this is a quite an
• 1:04:41
  interesting banner Rachel thieves.
• 1:04:44
  Because obviously it was right outside #10 where Rachel Reeves
• 1:04:47
  was going to come out having announced her budget.
• 1:04:51
  And of course, they were all there really about the most of
• 1:04:54
  it, about the inheritance tax. And there was another banner
• 1:04:59
  slide. And yeah, there we have, uh,
• 1:05:01
  when will the government act for the British public?
• 1:05:04
  Now this was the mood of it all, really.
• 1:05:06
  Because they're, you know, they're, they're very angry, the
• 1:05:08
  farmers and they've got every right to be, um, and uh, yeah,
• 1:05:12
  then we then, you know, they, they were driving round with,
• 1:05:15
  with, with, with other banners about food security.
• 1:05:20
  And I think the next one is, yeah, that's, that's then parked
• 1:05:25
  in, in, in Leicester Square because they have nowhere else
• 1:05:28
  to go. And unfortunately the police
• 1:05:31
  then turned on them and impounded an awful lot of their
• 1:05:34
  tractors. So not only had they, they come
• 1:05:38
  from miles to, to do this, they were then sanctioned for it at
• 1:05:42
  great cost. So I have AI have two No 3
• 1:05:46
  farmers here from Dorset and I asked them a few questions if we
• 1:05:50
  could run that video please. Very good.
• 1:05:55
  Where have you come from today? West Dorset.
• 1:05:57
  West Dorset. And you farmers?
• 1:05:59
  Very much so. Very much.
• 1:06:00
  So James drove his tractor up actually all the way 120 and.
• 1:06:04
  They've stopped him at the last. Minute.
• 1:06:07
  Well, they thought they were going to stop us.
• 1:06:08
  Oh, right. They're already here.
• 1:06:10
  Where is your tractor? Trafalgar Square.
• 1:06:13
  It's a lot of. People said it's typical to park
• 1:06:15
  in London, but you found a spot. On you found a spot right
• 1:06:18
  outside the National Gallery. Well done.
• 1:06:21
  So tell me what I'm trying to get all three of you in.
• 1:06:24
  Tell me what you know what I mean?
• 1:06:27
  Obviously you hear about inheritance tax or everything
• 1:06:30
  else. I mean, there's a lot that's
• 1:06:32
  that's really destroying British farming, isn't there?
• 1:06:34
  You've got the SSI, you've got renewable energy going
• 1:06:38
  everywhere, people not being able to afford to keep their
• 1:06:41
  farms. What's the biggest issue for you
• 1:06:43
  here today? Well for me personally it's the
• 1:06:46
  inheritance tax. My family have been farming in
• 1:06:49
  Dorset for centuries, currently 130 years.
• 1:06:52
  In our current farm I've got an 87 year old mother who owns the
• 1:06:56
  majority of the assets on the farm, 220 dairy cows and 376
• 1:07:01
  acres and she's got £1,000,000 allowance for inheritance tax.
• 1:07:05
  Well, that doesn't go very far. And so we're going to have to
• 1:07:08
  sell land in order to to pay this this really cruel tax.
• 1:07:12
  Yeah. And I mean, what, what do you,
• 1:07:16
  what do you feel that is, is could, I mean, do you think
• 1:07:20
  Rachel Reeves could stop this? And is that what you're asking
• 1:07:23
  for today? Well, I think she needs to amend
• 1:07:25
  it. You know, I'm all about people
• 1:07:27
  need to be given the time to plan their tax.
• 1:07:30
  I think the way around it is to have a sort of an amnesty for
• 1:07:32
  people that are maybe over 70, you know, 70 years and over,
• 1:07:37
  because I think the average death, you know, the average
• 1:07:41
  time when people die is in their sort of late 70s.
• 1:07:43
  And so that's seven years is really unfair for, you know,
• 1:07:46
  families like us where, you know, my mum's 8087 years old
• 1:07:50
  with the best one in the world. You know, she well, not, not,
• 1:07:53
  not make the seven years and we've had not had enough time
• 1:07:55
  to, to, to plan. And you think about other
• 1:07:58
  families, you know, there's farmers that are turning down
• 1:08:00
  cancer treatment because they know full well that if they
• 1:08:03
  survive past April the 1st. This is awful.
• 1:08:06
  You know so. It's and how many will commit
• 1:08:08
  suicide as well before April. Beg your pardon, How many?
• 1:08:11
  How many will commit suicide before April as well?
• 1:08:13
  I mean, there's a. Trainfall going to Switzerland?
• 1:08:17
  Why should society do? That I know exactly.
• 1:08:20
  And it's just not a very fair tax that some people it won't
• 1:08:23
  affect, but others would get completely clobbered by it so.
• 1:08:27
  Society should be fair. Why should we put a?
• 1:08:30
  Law like that on. It is dreadful.
• 1:08:32
  It's absolutely diabolical. Diabolical is the word.
• 1:08:39
  Well, that's that's their story. And I have another 2 farmers,
• 1:08:43
  Harry and David and they're from the West Country talking about
• 1:08:47
  land use. If we could run that one right,
• 1:08:51
  it's I'm Sandy Adams from UK column.
• 1:08:54
  I'm here live at Westminster where Rachel Reeves is coming
• 1:08:59
  out soon with the budget which I'm sure will be the Nightmare
• 1:09:03
  Before Christmas. So I'd like to ask you, I've got
• 1:09:06
  2 lovely farmers here, what are your names?
• 1:09:08
  David. David and Harry and Harry now
• 1:09:12
  just tell me. I mean, it's not just about
• 1:09:14
  inheritance tax, is it? It's about everything that's
• 1:09:18
  destroying British farming. Tell me what what you're coming
• 1:09:21
  under attack with. Well, I think inheritance taxes
• 1:09:25
  for us was the straw that broke the camel's back.
• 1:09:27
  I mean we. We've had bad prices before,
• 1:09:30
  we've had bad governments before, but from my point of
• 1:09:32
  view, what affects us very badly?
• 1:09:34
  Is the inheritance tax. It is.
• 1:09:35
  A lot of it is the inheritance tax.
• 1:09:37
  Right. We can good prices, bad prices,
• 1:09:40
  they come and go, government schemes come and go.
• 1:09:43
  But at the end of the day, if we can't, we can't afford to pay
• 1:09:46
  this inheritance tax without selling a farm.
• 1:09:49
  It's an existential, existential threat for us, really.
• 1:09:52
  So yeah. And do you think this is
• 1:09:54
  deliberate? Do you think farming is being
• 1:09:55
  destroyed deliberately? I think there's a there's a
• 1:09:59
  bigger picture here that the government would like land use
• 1:10:02
  for something different other than us farming.
• 1:10:04
  Yeah, I I do agree. And what what do you think that
• 1:10:06
  land use could be? Renewable energy perhaps we're
• 1:10:09
  we're seeing it more and more housing on and reefer
• 1:10:12
  development sites and things like a lot of want for that
• 1:10:15
  yeah, it's all putting pressure on land use and to drive up the
• 1:10:18
  value making our asset worth more there's.
• 1:10:21
  An awful lot of environmental net gains or sales under the
• 1:10:24
  radar. There's an awful lot of big
• 1:10:25
  companies that could do in wanting to free up a lot of land
• 1:10:28
  for environmental and. These are the big boys, the
• 1:10:31
  black rocks, the Vanguard offsetting states.
• 1:10:33
  That's. Going more and more.
• 1:10:35
  Prevalent. At the moment.
• 1:10:36
  Yeah. It's guaranteed return and
• 1:10:38
  especially to the big farms, the the farms that are sort of owned
• 1:10:41
  by, there's a lot of farms owned by pension.
• 1:10:43
  Funds. Yeah.
• 1:10:44
  So those guys need guaranteed returns, Yeah.
• 1:10:47
  And solar farms and those sort of things will provide
• 1:10:50
  guaranteed returns for them. Whereas if the market is very
• 1:10:54
  volatile and there's a little to no return from actual arable
• 1:10:58
  farming or food production, it's very tempting for those boys to
• 1:11:01
  go, oh, solar farms offering me £1000 an acre for 40 years.
• 1:11:06
  And what does that do to the food supply?
• 1:11:08
  Well, it reduces. Exactly.
• 1:11:10
  And we are an island, aren't we? We are an island.
• 1:11:15
  Well, it's food for thought there.
• 1:11:18
  Back to you. About Food for thought, really
• 1:11:21
  nice people. It seems to me that we've got to
• 1:11:24
  help educate them to the fact that, as Ben said while that
• 1:11:27
  video was running, these people are under attack in a very
• 1:11:31
  serious way, but they haven't quite caught on to it.
• 1:11:35
  But more of that in extra Take us to the end of the news then,
• 1:11:39
  because we're short of time. OK, so just a quick thank you to
• 1:11:45
  the good people of Stroud. Sandy and I had a fantastic trip
• 1:11:51
  up there on Saturday, and you can see a picture here of me
• 1:11:55
  speaking to the wonderful people at Project Libertas.
• 1:11:58
  There's about 100 people there. I was talking about wealth
• 1:12:02
  inequality and how to fix it. Sandy was talking about a gentic
• 1:12:06
  AI and how utterly evil all of this stuff is.
• 1:12:09
  And it was a great event, brilliant people.
• 1:12:12
  Some UK column regulars, particularly there in the front
• 1:12:14
  row. A fantastic use of an old
• 1:12:16
  convent actually. That building was beautiful,
• 1:12:18
  absolutely beautiful. And I'd just like to say thank
• 1:12:23
  you to Jane, Rhonda, Jono, Janet and Radic and everyone else that
• 1:12:26
  we met. And here's to many more.
• 1:12:28
  So well done everybody. And I'm talking of good uses for
• 1:12:33
  old convents. I just wanted to finish on this
• 1:12:35
  story, which is just fantastic. So we've got some rebel nuns, I
• 1:12:39
  think, Bryce said, fighting nuns earlier, but maybe they are
• 1:12:41
  fighting, I don't know. But they're certainly rebelling.
• 1:12:44
  And these are three octogenarians.
• 1:12:48
  Let's bring them up. Bernadette, Regina and Rita, who
• 1:12:52
  broke back into their old home of Goldenstein Castle in
• 1:12:56
  Elsbethan in Austria in September in Defiance of their
• 1:13:00
  spiritual superiors who would turfed them out and tried to put
• 1:13:03
  them into a Catholic care home. They've been helped by the local
• 1:13:05
  community and they're in defiance of this guy.
• 1:13:08
  This is Provost Marcus Grazel, who is repeatedly accusing them
• 1:13:13
  of breaking their vows of obedience.
• 1:13:15
  And they're saying we haven't broken our vows of obedience and
• 1:13:17
  we're just going to do what we want to do and we're going to
• 1:13:19
  live here. And why not?
• 1:13:20
  Because look at that place. That's what they've broken back
• 1:13:22
  into. And they've been allowed to
• 1:13:24
  stay, but only on the proviso they stay off social media.
• 1:13:27
  So my commitment to them, which I haven't run past the
• 1:13:30
  management, but I'm sure it's going to be absolutely fine, is
• 1:13:32
  that all three of them are going to get lifetime subscriptions to
• 1:13:35
  UK column. We want them on the forum as
• 1:13:37
  soon as possible. Indeed, they're clearly saying
• 1:13:40
  they're having none of the nonsense.
• 1:13:43
  We must end there. Thank you very much to everybody
• 1:13:46

• 1:13:50
  the important things going on. If you remember paid up member
