Speaker 1: Twenty second of June twenty twenty six. You're watching UK
0:13
Speaker 1: column News. I'm your host, Ben Rubin. I'm absolutely delighted
0:17
Speaker 1: to be joining in the studio by mister Brian Gerrish.
0:19
Speaker 1: I Brian pleasure, allays a pleasure, and we are also
0:23
Speaker 1: delighted to be joined by Rajah Mehya from Oldham on
0:29
Speaker 1: video link. And we'll be talking to Rajah a bit
0:31
Speaker 1: later on in the show. So we got a lot
0:34
Speaker 1: on today. We'll be looking at state control or extended
0:38
Speaker 1: state control of social media, another attack taking place on
0:42
Speaker 1: the streets of a British city, this time in Edinburgh.
0:45
Speaker 1: The mainstream media finally waking up to COVID in twenty
0:49
Speaker 1: twenty six, the evolution as a vehicle for the new world order,
0:54
Speaker 1: and within that we'll be talking about Manchesterism, which might
0:57
Speaker 1: give you a bit of a clue about where things
0:59
Speaker 1: are headed. But before we do so, we'll be getting
1:01
Speaker 1: to the top story of the day, which is, of
1:03
Speaker 1: course the resignation of the Prime Minister of the UK,
1:09
Speaker 1: Sir Kiirs Starmer, who delivered remarks outside ten Downing Street
1:13
Speaker 1: earlier on this morning to finally put to bed all
1:17
Speaker 1: of those rumors that have been circulating for at least
1:19
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks now about his future running the country.
1:22
Speaker 1: We're now on to our seventh Prime minister in ten years.
1:25
Speaker 1: Exactly who that's going to be, we don't know. So
1:28
Speaker 1: we'll be talking a little bit more about what we
1:30
Speaker 1: think the prospects are for people like in particular Andy
1:32
Speaker 1: Burnham later on in the show. Before we get into that,
1:35
Speaker 1: let's have a little listen to what Starmer had to say.
1:39
Speaker 2: Walking up this street two years ago was the proudest
1:43
Speaker 2: moment of my life. A new Labor government, the first
1:48
Speaker 2: in fourteen years, A page in our country's history turned
1:53
Speaker 2: after years of disappointment and despair. The chance changed the
1:58
Speaker 2: lives of millions of people for the better. That's what
2:02
Speaker 2: I came into politics for.
2:08
Speaker 3: Are you laughing there?
2:09
Speaker 4: Well, I was laughing, But what can you say? He
2:13
Speaker 4: came into politics to change the lives and millions of
2:16
Speaker 4: people for the better by pumping weapons into Ukraine and
2:20
Speaker 4: into the Middle East, in particular for the destruction of Gaza,
2:24
Speaker 4: what is quite unbelievable.
2:26
Speaker 1: Absolutely, but he did single handedly turn around the fotunes
2:29
Speaker 1: of the Labor Party. Well, that's certainly how it's presented
2:31
Speaker 1: to as he talked about coming in six years ago
2:34
Speaker 1: to inherit a labor party that was politically, financially and
2:37
Speaker 1: morally bankrupt. So he's come in to.
2:41
Speaker 4: Didn't his work with Tony Blair to get new labor
2:45
Speaker 4: back into.
2:48
Speaker 1: All these inconvenient facts, Brian stop it. This is an
2:51
Speaker 1: important moment. He did talk about the Labor Party of
2:54
Speaker 1: the times, and this is obviously coming out of the
2:56
Speaker 1: Corbyn era being unelectable, that he ripped out the poison
3:00
Speaker 1: of anti semitism, restored trust and went on to win
3:04
Speaker 1: a landslide victory. And then he goes on to talk
3:07
Speaker 1: about some of his achievements during his tenure.
3:13
Speaker 2: And look at what we've achieved in just two years.
3:17
Speaker 2: An economy that is stronger, going faster than our peers,
3:22
Speaker 2: Wages rising faster than inflation in every single month since
3:27
Speaker 2: we came to power, investments, secured infrastructure being built, an
3:33
Speaker 2: end to austerity with the fastest fall in NHS waiting
3:38
Speaker 2: lists for seventeen years, the biggest improvement in rights for
3:42
Speaker 2: workers and renters in a generation, the biggest uplift in
3:47
Speaker 2: defense spending since the Cold War, small boat crossings, falling
3:53
Speaker 2: asylum hotels, closing, protecting young people from social media, and
3:59
Speaker 2: half a million children being lifted out of poverty because
4:04
Speaker 2: of the choices that I made. Our reputation in the
4:09
Speaker 2: world restored, with Britain once again standing up for decency,
4:15
Speaker 2: respect and they're all of law securing trade dudes, standing
4:20
Speaker 2: with Ukraine, standing up for our values and rebuilding our
4:25
Speaker 2: relationship with our allies in Europe.
4:29
Speaker 4: Well, Ben, that was yeah, I really don't know what
4:34
Speaker 4: to say that. I think he believes what was coming
4:38
Speaker 4: out of his mouth just complete nonsense. Every point you
4:42
Speaker 4: can pick up and say, well, that's not true. You
4:44
Speaker 4: haven't done that, that is not as you say. So
4:48
Speaker 4: this man living in fantasy land. But of course now
4:51
Speaker 4: he's going to be promoted, my guess, into his real job,
4:55
Speaker 4: and we'll be very interesting to see where kir Stormer
4:58
Speaker 4: ends up in the world.
5:00
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yes, I think the lifting children out of poverty
5:05
Speaker 1: one was a bit of a clanger. I guess he's
5:07
Speaker 1: talking about free school meals.
5:09
Speaker 4: Well, we shouldn't be worried about free school meals because
5:12
Speaker 4: he said that wages had risen, Well, economy was better,
5:16
Speaker 4: there's more jobs, uplifting defense. Apart from the fact we
5:20
Speaker 4: haven't actually got a defense for this country at the moment,
5:23
Speaker 4: and the small boats that's falling. But of course the
5:27
Speaker 4: immigration is unchanged, and it's that policy which has caused
5:32
Speaker 4: the problem over the years, both in this country and
5:35
Speaker 4: of course to the people that have migrated as a
5:38
Speaker 4: result of wars that he's helped to ferment over seas,
5:42
Speaker 4: and economic problems in other countries as a result of
5:46
Speaker 4: policea by the Western banking cartel. So sheer hypocrisy or
5:51
Speaker 4: a recorder or to record.
5:53
Speaker 1: So anyway, he spent the first half of the speeks
5:55
Speaker 1: burnishing his legacy, and then we got down to business.
5:58
Speaker 3: While we all here, kir.
6:02
Speaker 2: The question my party is asking now is whether I
6:07
Speaker 2: am best placed to lead us into the next general election.
6:13
Speaker 2: I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to
6:18
Speaker 2: that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.
6:25
Speaker 2: Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country
6:29
Speaker 2: I love first. That is why I will resign as
6:34
Speaker 2: leader of the Labor Party. I have spoken to His
6:37
Speaker 2: Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision.
6:42
Speaker 2: I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labor
6:45
Speaker 2: Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on
6:49
Speaker 2: the ninth of July and completed by the summer recess.
6:54
Speaker 2: In the case of a contest, this will ensure a
6:57
Speaker 2: new leader is in place before Parliament returns in September.
7:02
Speaker 2: I will remain in post as Prime Minister until the
7:06
Speaker 2: contest is complete, and I will do everything I can
7:10
Speaker 2: to ensure an orderly handover of power. I will also
7:15
Speaker 2: give my successor my full and unequivocal support, knowing that
7:20
Speaker 2: they will inherit a Britain that is far stronger and
7:23
Speaker 2: fairer than the one I inherited two years ago, better
7:27
Speaker 2: prepared for the challenges ahead, and better able to ensure
7:31
Speaker 2: the Labor Party seccurs a second term in office.
7:37
Speaker 4: So it's just about protection that the party. The party
7:40
Speaker 4: comes first, the public in this country comes a very
7:44
Speaker 4: poor second, as long as the party survives, and nothing
7:48
Speaker 4: else matters.
7:49
Speaker 1: Absolutely yes, and don't worry. He's still going to be
7:52
Speaker 1: in office until September, so we get him for the summer.
7:55
Speaker 1: There's that least fantastic news. He did get quite emotional
7:59
Speaker 1: actually towards the end of the speech, talking about going
8:03
Speaker 1: to spend time with his wife and his children, and
8:05
Speaker 1: he started crying. I just had absolutely no emotional response to.
8:08
Speaker 3: It at all. I'm afraid to say.
8:10
Speaker 1: So anyway, onto the next and where do we think
8:13
Speaker 1: the next is going to be. Well, there's probably a
8:15
Speaker 1: clue in this image we can get out up on screen.
8:19
Speaker 1: It would appear to me now that Burnham is essentially
8:22
Speaker 1: asue in to be the new leader of the Labor Party,
8:25
Speaker 1: new Prime minister. It's really just a formality. And my
8:29
Speaker 1: view is that as we'll get into that, essentially we're
8:32
Speaker 1: going to be seeing more of the same here.
8:34
Speaker 4: Absolutely, this is a branding change. I think this is
8:37
Speaker 4: the key issue. Nothing is going to change and the
8:41
Speaker 4: draconian policies that are dragging this country into the gutter
8:45
Speaker 4: are not going to continue. They're going to accelerate. Yes,
8:48
Speaker 4: prediction from the UK column today twenty second of June.
8:52
Speaker 3: Absolutely so.
8:53
Speaker 1: Star was probably going to spend the next two or
8:55
Speaker 1: three months bringing in a bunch of new regulations and
8:59
Speaker 1: then burn the will turn and'll say don't worry, Starmer's gone,
9:02
Speaker 1: Uncle Andy's here. Everything's going to be fine and he
9:05
Speaker 1: will change absolutely nothing.
9:06
Speaker 4: Correct.
9:07
Speaker 1: I think that's probably what we're looking at here. So
9:09
Speaker 1: obviously last week we were put it on this on Friday,
9:11
Speaker 1: but it just bears looking at again that Burnham did
9:16
Speaker 1: actually take a really quite compelling victory here at the
9:19
Speaker 1: Makefield by election, securing fifty four point eight percent of
9:22
Speaker 1: the vote.
9:23
Speaker 3: That as an increase.
9:26
Speaker 1: For labor from forty five point two percent of the
9:29
Speaker 1: last general election just two years ago.
9:31
Speaker 3: And this is obviously against the backdrop of.
9:33
Speaker 1: In extraordinarily unpopular prime minister in Kids Starmer and a
9:38
Speaker 1: very unpopular governing party in Labor. So this is very
9:41
Speaker 1: much a victory, a win for Burnham, not for labor.
9:45
Speaker 1: And what this is going to usher in is a
9:47
Speaker 1: new era of what is being billed as Manchesterism, which
9:51
Speaker 1: is obviously a reference to Burnham's former role. Now as
9:56
Speaker 1: the Mayor or Greater Manchester, he's governing philosophy in terms
10:00
Speaker 1: of economic development, social progress, and he spoke about this
10:06
Speaker 1: very briefly in his victory speech in Makefield on Thursday night.
10:13
Speaker 5: It is with some sadness that this result brings an
10:18
Speaker 5: end to my wonderful nine years as Mayor of Greater Manchester.
10:25
Speaker 5: This city region has given so much to me and
10:31
Speaker 5: it is a wrench to leave the job I love,
10:35
Speaker 5: but I am not leaving the service of Greater Manchester.
10:40
Speaker 5: I've always been clear that it can't achieve everything it
10:44
Speaker 5: should be, and we can't close the North South divide,
10:49
Speaker 5: and we can't make all the great English cities be
10:51
Speaker 5: what they should be without big change at the national level.
10:56
Speaker 5: I always knew one day I would see to go
11:00
Speaker 5: back to Westminster to complete that unfinished business.
11:08
Speaker 4: So he said it there. Every city is going to
11:11
Speaker 4: be changed, every local community get is going to be changed,
11:14
Speaker 4: and that is going to happen by a massive change
11:17
Speaker 4: at the Westminster level. He's telling you what the policy is.
11:21
Speaker 4: This is globalist policy to wipe out the existing constitution
11:27
Speaker 4: and take government control to the lowest possible level. The
11:31
Speaker 4: woman on the.
11:32
Speaker 1: Streets exactly, and he is the exemplar of devolution. And
11:36
Speaker 1: now devolution is being taken back into the heart of Westminster.
11:40
Speaker 3: And so this is the.
11:41
Speaker 1: Kind of the switch that's happening here. And this is
11:44
Speaker 1: I was touched on. There is absolutely about globalist policy.
11:48
Speaker 1: They talk about it in terms of localization. It's not
11:50
Speaker 1: as globalization. The mare system, the devolved regions is the
11:55
Speaker 1: vehicle of choice for implementing what is essentially the new
11:58
Speaker 1: World orders.
11:58
Speaker 3: How we talk about it.
12:00
Speaker 1: This article for Martin Edwards was published over ten years
12:03
Speaker 1: ago now twenty sixteen April twenty sixteen on the UK columnar.
12:07
Speaker 1: He talks about the leavers of power in our cities
12:10
Speaker 1: and regions being one of the key targets for internationalists
12:13
Speaker 1: and their collaborators since the nineteen seventies, so actually articulated
12:19
Speaker 1: in documents coming out of the Council for Foreign Relations
12:22
Speaker 1: for example in the mid nineteen seventies. The globalization, the
12:25
Speaker 1: new international system has to be built from the ground up,
12:29
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what Burnham represents.
12:31
Speaker 4: And of course that's the same time period at which
12:34
Speaker 4: they were winding up Britain's entry into the European Union,
12:39
Speaker 4: which was a key vehicle of the globalist agender. So
12:43
Speaker 4: the EU super state, the centralization of control in Europe
12:48
Speaker 4: Britain had to fall. And the next thing they're going
12:51
Speaker 4: to go for is our constitution and system of law
12:54
Speaker 4: trial by jury. That also has to fall for this
13:00
Speaker 4: Indian super state to come into play. So I think
13:04
Speaker 4: it's pretty easy to see what's happening.
13:06
Speaker 3: Ben I completely agree with Brian U.
13:08
Speaker 1: Let's have a little listen to Burnham talking to the
13:11
Speaker 1: Social Mobility Commission about his role as the then Mayor
13:15
Speaker 1: of Manchester.
13:16
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty three. I think the clips from.
13:20
Speaker 6: I completely believe that the evolution is the game changer,
13:29
Speaker 6: and we're only really scratching the surface. As you say,
13:32
Speaker 6: I would go much deeper, much quicker. It's as if
13:37
Speaker 6: they don't trust or we'll have to still manage you.
13:40
Speaker 6: And well they didn't grow these places that the White
13:42
Speaker 6: holl system didn't bring the growth. And it was a
13:47
Speaker 6: vision for the economy that was based on London the
13:49
Speaker 6: Southeast and raise all the money there and then pay
13:52
Speaker 6: for all the social provision everywhere. I mean that basically
13:55
Speaker 6: was the model, wasn't it for a large part of
13:57
Speaker 6: the last four fifty years. Well they're just not on
14:02
Speaker 6: you know, we're not having that and you know, whether
14:06
Speaker 6: they give it now or in the future, we're going
14:08
Speaker 6: to have this devolution, come what may, because we're on
14:11
Speaker 6: a journey now where we're succeeding and I want the
14:14
Speaker 6: same for everywhere else, across the North, the Midlands, everywhere,
14:19
Speaker 6: and the great thing is beginning to come through. I
14:21
Speaker 6: mentioned that Manchter Cambridge thing. Just imagine a world where
14:26
Speaker 6: regardless of going on bended knee down there, we all
14:28
Speaker 6: just start working with each other, you know, doing our
14:30
Speaker 6: own borrowing, doing our own partnerships. What a great sort
14:34
Speaker 6: of feeling that would be, you know, and also linking
14:37
Speaker 6: more to Dublin and to Belfast and to Glasgow, and
14:40
Speaker 6: just getting a kind of UK that is just more
14:43
Speaker 6: functional with more power right out there in all of
14:47
Speaker 6: the parts of it. That's I think what we've going
14:50
Speaker 6: to be working towards. I personally think the Whitehall and
14:53
Speaker 6: Westminster model is utterly broken.
15:00
Speaker 1: So it's actually difficult to argue with a lot of
15:02
Speaker 1: what he's saying there, right if you just listen to
15:04
Speaker 1: it in a one dimensional way. You want to put
15:07
Speaker 1: power to the regions. You want economic growth and prosperity
15:11
Speaker 1: to be spread out across the North Midlands, all that
15:13
Speaker 1: kind of thing. The problem is that it's being done
15:15
Speaker 1: through a system that is actually centralized, So essentially you're
15:18
Speaker 1: operating a franchise of something which is still being control
15:21
Speaker 1: from the center.
15:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're telling people they are going to get power.
15:27
Speaker 4: The reality is that what he's doing is pushing state
15:31
Speaker 4: power to the lowest possible level and he's going to
15:36
Speaker 4: destroy the existing system. I used to say people were dangerous,
15:41
Speaker 4: but so many of these people are dangerous in this
15:44
Speaker 4: devious political sense. Weird Does it end? It only ends
15:47
Speaker 4: when we decide there's going to be a complete change
15:51
Speaker 4: within politics for some people who actually do put country
15:56
Speaker 4: in communities first. I don't think Andrew Burnham is going
15:59
Speaker 4: to do that. He's going to continue to be a
16:03
Speaker 4: puppet for the labor policy, yeah.
16:06
Speaker 1: And to be in hock to the bond markets. I
16:08
Speaker 1: think one of the most tenning quotes in that clip
16:10
Speaker 1: that we just showed a moment ago is when he
16:12
Speaker 1: says that we're going to start doing our own borrowing.
16:14
Speaker 1: And that makes me extremely concerned.
16:16
Speaker 3: Right.
16:17
Speaker 1: So, actually a lot of the commentary on this. I
16:19
Speaker 1: actually took out a very cheap one pound for a
16:22
Speaker 1: month of subscription to the New Statesmen on the weekend
16:25
Speaker 1: so I could actually get some insight into what these
16:28
Speaker 1: people are thinking. The New State's been founded by the
16:30
Speaker 1: Fabian Society back in nineteen thirteen, and all of the
16:34
Speaker 1: discussion is about the bond markets. All the discussion is
16:37
Speaker 1: about borrowing. So it's about getting international investors to put
16:41
Speaker 1: money into projects on behalf of the state. And this
16:45
Speaker 1: is the only mechanism that they have for doing anything.
16:48
Speaker 1: They're not even talking about raising taxes at this point.
16:50
Speaker 1: It's just going to the bond markets and bringing in loans.
16:54
Speaker 4: That is putting the nation further into debt.
16:57
Speaker 1: Absolutely yes, And then they present that growth so he's
17:02
Speaker 1: credentials essentially built on the back of the Manchester growth story.
17:07
Speaker 1: So Manchester is the top dark blue line on that chart.
17:10
Speaker 1: It's grown more quickly and at a greater rate than
17:16
Speaker 1: any other part of the UK.
17:18
Speaker 3: But what does that actually look like?
17:19
Speaker 1: You know, as we get showing these charts and think, oh,
17:21
Speaker 1: that must be a good thing, well is it, Because
17:24
Speaker 1: actually what that is meant is basically central Manchester in
17:28
Speaker 1: twenty ten. You can see that that's what it did
17:30
Speaker 1: look like. And now, like so many places around the UK,
17:34
Speaker 1: what we have is a bunch of high rise office blocks,
17:38
Speaker 1: really appallingly designed buildings, like this sort of gray gray.
17:43
Speaker 3: Thing on the left hand side there. I don't even
17:45
Speaker 3: know what that is.
17:45
Speaker 4: It's like Plymouth's the barcode. Yeah, exactly. These are cheap buildings.
17:50
Speaker 4: They won't last and very quickly they're going to look
17:54
Speaker 4: really horrible, so there's no beauty in them. There's no architecture,
17:58
Speaker 4: and they're full of service industry.
18:00
Speaker 1: For the service industries, they're flats that people are renting
18:03
Speaker 1: because they can't afford to either them. And those people
18:05
Speaker 1: are then working in advertising agencies or financial services firms
18:10
Speaker 1: that don't make anything and actually outside of the center
18:15
Speaker 1: of Manchester there's still extraordinary poverty, you know. So it
18:20
Speaker 1: hasn't really fixed the problems. It's just you know, put
18:24
Speaker 1: a lipstick on the pig, as they say, right, So
18:26
Speaker 1: what else has he done? So a lot of is
18:28
Speaker 1: Again what he talks about is this fixing the buses.
18:33
Speaker 1: So this great victory setting up the b network which
18:36
Speaker 1: is run by Transport for Greater Manchester but actually is
18:42
Speaker 1: delivered by Stagecoach and various other private companies. So this
18:48
Speaker 1: is a classic public private partnership where he's come in
18:51
Speaker 1: to fix a problem, but actually the work is being
18:55
Speaker 1: done by a private company. They're doing it for profit,
18:58
Speaker 1: when that could actually be done by the council.
19:00
Speaker 4: Should be done within the tech within house technical capability,
19:06
Speaker 4: so you're creating real jobs in the house, but all outsourced.
19:09
Speaker 1: As you say, Ben, Yeah, lots of slides of money
19:12
Speaker 1: coming in from organizations like this so this is the
19:14
Speaker 1: greater Mantister Good Growth Fund. When people start calling things good,
19:18
Speaker 1: you've got to pay attention. It's probably the opposite. Essentially,
19:21
Speaker 1: this is just the third way. So this is Blair policy,
19:24
Speaker 1: public private partnerships PFI schemes, and none of it really
19:30
Speaker 1: delivering value for the taxpayer. And actually a lot of
19:34
Speaker 1: this money with strings attached to it that are extremely
19:38
Speaker 1: destabilizing to the country. And you've talked about this previously, Brian,
19:43
Speaker 1: in terms of the way that European loans are coming
19:45
Speaker 1: into Plymouth.
19:47
Speaker 4: Indeed, I have and thank you for that little segue,
19:51
Speaker 4: because what we pop up on the screen is the
19:55
Speaker 4: latest edition of the Column magazine that's now available. Encourage
20:01
Speaker 4: people to have a look. And in the magazine I've
20:03
Speaker 4: written an article which is specifically talking about how England
20:08
Speaker 4: has been attacked by means of the so called regeneration
20:12
Speaker 4: budgets that came through the European Union, where money was
20:16
Speaker 4: flooded into the country from the EBRD, a lot of
20:21
Speaker 4: other different European funding pots. But of course with the
20:26
Speaker 4: money came control. You take our money, but you have
20:29
Speaker 4: to redesign your cities along this line. And this is
20:33
Speaker 4: where we started to see the destruction of the individual
20:38
Speaker 4: identities of cities across UK. This was the result of
20:42
Speaker 4: the European money and centralized control. And we have always
20:48
Speaker 4: said brexit without the exit. So are we clear of
20:51
Speaker 4: the European Union? Certainly not.
20:53
Speaker 3: And E.
20:54
Speaker 4: Burnham knows that full well and what he's going to
20:57
Speaker 4: do is bring in more. He's going to accelerate this
21:02
Speaker 4: central control. So have a look at that latest UK
21:07
Speaker 4: call Them magazine. I think you'll find it utterly brilliant
21:11
Speaker 4: with the selection of articles and I've commented specifically on
21:15
Speaker 4: this area that you're talking about.
21:18
Speaker 3: Perfect, Thanks Brian.
21:19
Speaker 1: So let's just wrap this up with a quick look
21:23
Speaker 1: at some of what Burnham has been up to, right,
21:26
Speaker 1: with some numbers behind it.
21:28
Speaker 3: So here's this is from a tussle.
21:31
Speaker 1: There are a data firm that specifically look at opportunities
21:35
Speaker 1: for private companies to sell into the public sector and
21:37
Speaker 1: we can see the Greater Manchester Council Combined Authority sorry,
21:43
Speaker 1: was spent seventeen percent of what it spends on private
21:47
Speaker 1: sector company organizations goes to smmes compared to thirty four
21:50
Speaker 1: percent of the rest of local government. What essentially that
21:52
Speaker 1: means is that they're spending a lot of money on
21:54
Speaker 1: big companies, especially when they are spending money on private
21:58
Speaker 1: SEID services is not even going to small local companies,
22:00
Speaker 1: it's going to multinational corporations. And have also tripled the
22:03
Speaker 1: amount that they spend on consultants since twenty nineteen to
22:06
Speaker 1: twenty seven million pounds a year, which no doubt include
22:11
Speaker 1: relationships with organizations like e Y.
22:14
Speaker 3: You can see here I used to work.
22:16
Speaker 1: You can see here Andy Burnham on stage with Huell Ball,
22:20
Speaker 1: the former chair of y UK's a couple of years ago.
22:22
Speaker 1: Now that e Y are a strategic partner of the
22:26
Speaker 1: World Economic Forum, so two of the Financial Times, by
22:30
Speaker 1: the way, via Nicki who owned the ft, they're also
22:32
Speaker 1: an ft A World Economic Forum partner. Burnham's there on
22:36
Speaker 1: stage with them, essentially talking about progressing World Economic Forum
22:39
Speaker 1: UN policy in the UK. This is absolutely the world
22:42
Speaker 1: that he's living in. He's been trying things like citizens assemblies,
22:47
Speaker 1: So this is the Greater Manchester Citizens Assembly campaign, which
22:51
Speaker 1: is extremely very very far advanced, and this is being
22:54
Speaker 1: used as a test case for how they can roll
22:56
Speaker 1: these out across the rest of the country. He's also
23:00
Speaker 1: closely linked into the Fabian Society. He gave the keynote
23:03
Speaker 1: speech as Mayor of Manchester at the Fabian Society AGM
23:06
Speaker 1: when it was held there back in twenty eighteen. And
23:09
Speaker 1: he also has some deep links into Israel and organizations
23:14
Speaker 1: that are promoting the Zionist a gender Patrick actually spoke
23:18
Speaker 1: about on Friday. I'm particularly interested in his relationship with
23:22
Speaker 1: Josh Simons you can see here embracing who was the
23:25
Speaker 1: MP for Makerfield who stood down in order to trigger
23:28
Speaker 1: the by election. Simon's was a former director of Labor
23:32
Speaker 1: Together and a very good friend of Morgan McSweeney, Which
23:35
Speaker 1: makes this whole thing rather confusing because one of the
23:37
Speaker 1: biggest issues that Starmer had, the biggest scandals around Starmer
23:41
Speaker 1: was his relationship with McSweeney and Labor Together. So isn't
23:45
Speaker 1: this just more of the same. And of course, as
23:50
Speaker 1: we've spoken about Urnham, a pisby the candidate of choice
23:57
Speaker 1: for the Jewish community here in UK. Mrvis definitely wants
24:02
Speaker 1: some of that. And as a final point, he seems
24:08
Speaker 1: to have gone a role, shall we say, when it
24:11
Speaker 1: came to the investigation into grooming gangs in Rotherham and
24:16
Speaker 1: elsewhere in Greater Manchester, which is something that our guest,
24:21
Speaker 1: Roger Meyer, has done much to expose over the past
24:26
Speaker 1: eight years. So Roger, it's fantastic to welcome you to
24:29
Speaker 1: the show. What are your thoughts on Burnham? Are you
24:31
Speaker 1: excited about the potential new prime minister.
24:36
Speaker 7: I'm devastated, if I'm honest with you, Bene. I look
24:40
Speaker 7: at what's took place here, what you've shared in the
24:43
Speaker 7: wider sense of some of the the scandals, the bad
24:46
Speaker 7: smell surrounding Burnham. Those of us familiar with his He's
24:53
Speaker 7: regime is rule in Greater Manchester's Greater Manchester Mayor. We
24:57
Speaker 7: know all about the cas schemes, the relationships with some
25:01
Speaker 7: of these companies, the stuff to do with his building
25:05
Speaker 7: of these multimillion pounds skyscrapers, and the way in which
25:09
Speaker 7: some of those loans were awarded. And nothing sticks to him, Ben,
25:13
Speaker 7: And it's clear, having just listened to you as to
25:17
Speaker 7: why nothing sticks to him, it's because of who he represents,
25:21
Speaker 7: who he is aligned with, who is who he is
25:24
Speaker 7: the face of I think when you say you know,
25:28
Speaker 7: am I excited by Andy Burnham? I do not think
25:31
Speaker 7: we are getting Andy Burnham. I think We're getting another
25:34
Speaker 7: face of those who rule us, another face of the establishment,
25:38
Speaker 7: and he'll be more of the same. I couldn't agree more.
25:45
Speaker 1: And during your time as a campaigner for the victims
25:51
Speaker 1: of the grooming gangs in rather than elsewhere across the Northwest,
25:54
Speaker 1: what was Burnham's involvement in helping to progress or other
26:00
Speaker 1: is those investigations.
26:03
Speaker 7: He I have challenged him on record on record is
26:06
Speaker 7: essentially called me a liar and asked me to retreat
26:09
Speaker 7: or else And I've told him to bring it on.
26:11
Speaker 7: And it's simply because the truth is the truth on this.
26:15
Speaker 7: When he became Greater Manchester mayor, one of the first
26:17
Speaker 7: things you know, and these I'm paraphrasing his words. One
26:21
Speaker 7: of the first things he saw was Maggie Oliver on
26:24
Speaker 7: the Betrayed Girls documentary and he launched a series of
26:28
Speaker 7: assurance reviews. And he maintains that he because of him,
26:33
Speaker 7: all of this good work has been done. And my
26:36
Speaker 7: position is completely the opposite. Because of him, there was
26:40
Speaker 7: a cover up and his task was to cover up
26:43
Speaker 7: the cover up. This is let's be clear as to
26:46
Speaker 7: who Andy Burnham is. He presents himself as a one
26:51
Speaker 7: of the key Hillsborough ambassadors. He is the man who
26:54
Speaker 7: understood that the state cannot be trusted to just investigate
26:59
Speaker 7: itself without starf powers, and he went about and campaigned
27:03
Speaker 7: for Hillsborough. So when you came into this with the
27:06
Speaker 7: grooming gangs in Manchesters in twenty seventeen he launched a
27:10
Speaker 7: series of assurance reviews, one in Manchester, one in Rochdale,
27:13
Speaker 7: one in Oldham and then another one that is own
27:16
Speaker 7: investigators ran away from quit on him and they were
27:20
Speaker 7: just kicking it into the long grass, covering up what
27:22
Speaker 7: took place. They had no statutory powers, and this is
27:26
Speaker 7: a man who knew he needed statutory powers. And when
27:29
Speaker 7: he published his assurance review in Oldham, Maggie Oliver has
27:34
Speaker 7: since gone on the record and used the exact words
27:38
Speaker 7: nothing short of a cover up to describe what took place.
27:41
Speaker 7: This man is neck deep in the cover up of
27:43
Speaker 7: the grooming gangs. This is who is set to become
27:45
Speaker 7: the next prime minister. And if we hadn't campaigned the
27:49
Speaker 7: way we had been, there would be no national inquiry
27:52
Speaker 7: because if Andy Burnham and his team had their way,
27:55
Speaker 7: this would have ended with his assurance reviews and wipe
28:01
Speaker 7: our hands clean and we move on. And he only
28:05
Speaker 7: changed his opinion after Elon Musk got involved after this
28:09
Speaker 7: blew up into the national arena in twenty fifteen, in
28:13
Speaker 7: January twenty fifteen, and even then, and this is all
28:16
Speaker 7: a matter of public record, he wanted a limited national
28:20
Speaker 7: review that accepted his findings as has proven, and we
28:25
Speaker 7: cannot go back and contest any of that. So what
28:28
Speaker 7: you've got here is a politician who launched a series
28:32
Speaker 7: of non statutory reviews with extremely limited terms of reference,
28:38
Speaker 7: failed to hold anyone to account, failed to name anyone involved,
28:43
Speaker 7: claimed there was no cover up, and the survivors themselves
28:48
Speaker 7: have come out and condemned him for his actions. One
28:53
Speaker 7: of the first tasks Burnham did, because you've got to
28:56
Speaker 7: understand Andy Burnham was also is also Police and Crime
29:00
Speaker 7: Commissioner as well as Greater Manchester mayor, so he has
29:03
Speaker 7: oversight of the police, was they launched something called Operation Sharewood,
29:08
Speaker 7: and one of the first actions of Operation Sharewood was
29:11
Speaker 7: to go and find one of the lead survivors they
29:14
Speaker 7: used in their case studies and threaten her for speaking
29:18
Speaker 7: to anyone and sharing what had happened to her prior
29:22
Speaker 7: to Operation Sharewood. Burnham's police force launched Operation Hexagon. Operation
29:28
Speaker 7: Hexagon went after myself and all the other whistleblowers and
29:31
Speaker 7: campaigners in the town that dared to speak out. This
29:35
Speaker 7: man is dangerous beyond just covering up the grooming gangs
29:41
Speaker 7: and the politicians involved in in the horrific exchange of
29:46
Speaker 7: children for votes for power. What Andy Burnham did was
29:51
Speaker 7: is as police and crime commissioners. Police force came after whistleblowers,
29:56
Speaker 7: he came after campaigners and tried to put some others
29:59
Speaker 7: in prison by falsifying evidence. And this man is now
30:03
Speaker 7: sets to become Prime Minister. It's astonishing but not at
30:08
Speaker 7: all surprising if you followed Andy Burnham Ingrea to Manchester,
30:11
Speaker 7: because scandal after scandal follows him and he is teflon.
30:17
Speaker 7: Nothing sticks to him.
30:20
Speaker 4: Roger, thank you very much for that. And of course
30:23
Speaker 4: this is Andy Burnham. But when Stormer was coming into post,
30:27
Speaker 4: he also of course was facing accusations of not doing
30:32
Speaker 4: his job properly around Jimmy Sammle. So there's a track
30:37
Speaker 4: record here and if we go back in time, we
30:40
Speaker 4: can also talk about the Labor Party's support for the
30:45
Speaker 4: p Dephile Information Exchange and Peter fall Peter File Action Group.
30:53
Speaker 4: There was two of them at that particular time. So
30:55
Speaker 4: you say once it's a bit of you know, this
30:58
Speaker 4: is just the way the world works, but it's it's
31:01
Speaker 4: a pattern that we see not only through the Labor
31:04
Speaker 4: Party but actually through the Conservative Party. And then when
31:08
Speaker 4: the evidence for the abuses come forward, as you say,
31:12
Speaker 4: the police then failed to do their job. But I've
31:15
Speaker 4: just added to that that when you when you talk
31:18
Speaker 4: about him being mayor and police and crime commissioner, that
31:23
Speaker 4: is the actual description of a fiefdom because he can
31:28
Speaker 4: he's like he's like the grandfather of the mafia system.
31:33
Speaker 4: He controls everything and therefore nothing about the truth comes
31:38
Speaker 4: up to the surface because he can block it. This
31:40
Speaker 4: is this is why I think that the system that
31:44
Speaker 4: they're bringing in other super cities and Burnham is pushing
31:48
Speaker 4: for this is so dangerous because there will be no
31:51
Speaker 4: accountability through the system, whether it's the political system or
31:56
Speaker 4: the police or indeed the courts. I don't know what
31:59
Speaker 4: one of yours sponse to that would be.
32:02
Speaker 7: No, And that's my experience of it. And as someone
32:05
Speaker 7: I recently ended up having to take Greater Manchester Police
32:08
Speaker 7: to a judicial review in the High Court where I won.
32:12
Speaker 7: But the turmoil and the anguish, you know, the stress
32:17
Speaker 7: it involves for most people, we might as well we
32:22
Speaker 7: become slaves here. The super cities is fabian links, all
32:26
Speaker 7: of that, the citizens assemblies, it's the veneers upon veneers
32:31
Speaker 7: of it's not it's worse than criminality. What is taking place?
32:37
Speaker 7: And you talk about the pie stuff going back to
32:39
Speaker 7: Harriet Rmon Gordon Brown does a trail, isn't there There's
32:43
Speaker 7: a clear evidential trail all the way back for at
32:46
Speaker 7: least twenty years, thirty years of my experience were they
32:51
Speaker 7: have child abust to them is not the abhorrent crime
32:57
Speaker 7: that we consider it to be. I think it's something
33:00
Speaker 7: that they they consider that is acceptable or tolerable for
33:06
Speaker 7: them to maintain power or exchange for power. And it's
33:12
Speaker 7: it's shocking, it's shocking, Brian. I think what we've ended
33:15
Speaker 7: up with as if you want to see Andy Burnham
33:18
Speaker 7: as Prime Minister, and you see everything that has gone
33:21
Speaker 7: wrong in Greater Manchester, then expect that to be replicated
33:25
Speaker 7: at a at a national level. And of course our
33:29
Speaker 7: experience in Greater Manchester is how how the mainstream media
33:34
Speaker 7: were complicit in partnering with him. If you saw some
33:40
Speaker 7: of the reporting in the make Afield by election the
33:42
Speaker 7: win which the Manchester Evening News behaved, they were essentially
33:46
Speaker 7: running propaganda fan Andy Burnham. Now day after day another
33:50
Speaker 7: puff piece on him, repeatedly attacking his opponents, protecting him.
33:55
Speaker 7: And this is I wrote a piece just before the
33:58
Speaker 7: by election, this is the Establishment's man in the North. Well,
34:01
Speaker 7: the establishments man in the North is just about to
34:04
Speaker 7: rule the country, isn't He's just about to become Prime minister.
34:08
Speaker 4: Indeed, one very quick question then we must move on Roger.
34:13
Speaker 4: But what about people in local communities? You see through
34:19
Speaker 4: this A lot of people have voted for this man,
34:22
Speaker 4: but all people waking up see through the political veneer
34:27
Speaker 4: of correctness.
34:30
Speaker 7: He got the best part of twenty five thousand votes.
34:34
Speaker 7: And I was in tears the day after, not because
34:36
Speaker 7: he won, but because so many people voted for him
34:40
Speaker 7: despite knowing the truth about him. The people in Makerfield
34:44
Speaker 7: knew the truth about him, but they were willing to
34:47
Speaker 7: exchange all of that to see him in power, because
34:50
Speaker 7: he sold them a vision. He said he is one
34:54
Speaker 7: of them. He had two posters. One was Andy Burnham
34:56
Speaker 7: for us, so you know, and he presents himself as
34:59
Speaker 7: a man of the n off. He plays football, he
35:01
Speaker 7: goes out running all that sort of stuff. He plays
35:04
Speaker 7: rugby league. So he presented himself as one of us
35:07
Speaker 7: in the North, and then he presented himself as a
35:09
Speaker 7: vision of hope, and I think that's sadly a reflection
35:12
Speaker 7: of his opponent's politics more so and in that world,
35:19
Speaker 7: and with that message, he completely destroyed the opposition one
35:24
Speaker 7: would ease. And I think once he moves into government
35:27
Speaker 7: and the machinery of the state and the mainstream media
35:30
Speaker 7: behind him, I fear it's going to get worse for
35:33
Speaker 7: people like us.
35:37
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you very much for that. Now. I hope
35:39
Speaker 4: you're going to be joining us for UK Column Extra
35:42
Speaker 4: after the News Roger, so thank you once again for
35:47
Speaker 4: talking us through that. And you've been doing sterling work,
35:50
Speaker 4: so we look forward to speaking with you again. Now
35:54
Speaker 4: we must say to our audience huge, huge, thank you
35:57
Speaker 4: for everybody who's supported UK Column over twenty years. It
36:00
Speaker 4: is your support that has kept us going and made
36:04
Speaker 4: us what we are today. I'm delighted to say over
36:07
Speaker 4: the weekend my can team did a huge update to
36:10
Speaker 4: the website. Some of it is visual. You can see differences.
36:15
Speaker 4: But a lot of work has gone onto the functionality
36:18
Speaker 4: of the UK Column website to make it better to
36:21
Speaker 4: do more things for the audience and the deed for
36:24
Speaker 4: the column team itself. So if you haven't noticed, get
36:27
Speaker 4: onto the UK Column website and have a look. And
36:30
Speaker 4: as we always say, a huge resource of articles, hundreds
36:35
Speaker 4: and hundreds and hundreds of articles and of course thousands
36:38
Speaker 4: of news reports. Now, if you go to the opening page,
36:44
Speaker 4: encourage people to click on the box which takes you
36:51
Speaker 4: to membership. I think this will play through there we
36:54
Speaker 4: are so you can make a donation. You can go
36:57
Speaker 4: from monthly membership or an annual membership, or a lifetime
37:01
Speaker 4: membership as many people do, a one off payment and
37:05
Speaker 4: you're with us for life. That's absolutely fantastic. But beyonder
37:09
Speaker 4: no illusions, we are seeing the state ramp up for
37:13
Speaker 4: a massive, massive attack or new or alternative media, and
37:18
Speaker 4: you can be sure that the UK Column is going
37:20
Speaker 4: to be absolutely in the sniper's site for the government
37:25
Speaker 4: because we are challenging them. And as you'll see in
37:27
Speaker 4: a segment in a few minutes, the government is clearly
37:31
Speaker 4: out to destroy media, which is challenging the political narrative,
37:38
Speaker 4: so your support is vital to keep us going. Now,
37:41
Speaker 4: as I've already mentioned, the second edition, issue two of
37:45
Speaker 4: the column is out, absolutely fantastic, lots of articles, beautifully presented,
37:53
Speaker 4: and I'm sure we're going to get a fantastic response
37:55
Speaker 4: as we did to issue one, so that's wonderful. I'm
37:59
Speaker 4: also going to say we do have some tickets left
38:01
Speaker 4: for the on location twentieth eighteenth, the twentieth September. It
38:07
Speaker 4: is going to be fantastic because we've time to relax
38:11
Speaker 4: and chat to people. And we know you said you
38:15
Speaker 4: asked people wanted to be together for an extended period
38:20
Speaker 4: in order to enjoy that friendship and socializing. So if
38:24
Speaker 4: you haven't got a ticket and thinking should I shouldn't,
38:27
Speaker 4: I encourage you to get onto the website and do it.
38:31
Speaker 4: And as I have said repeatedly, this is not just
38:36
Speaker 4: about coming to a hotel in Plymouth. This is for
38:39
Speaker 4: you to enjoy the ambience of the area, to meet
38:42
Speaker 4: all the team, to be able to talk with us
38:45
Speaker 4: in person, and really get value out of the area.
38:49
Speaker 4: So it's up to you. Now, what else have we
38:52
Speaker 4: got to report We've sorry, is that one replay.
38:58
Speaker 3: There we are.
38:59
Speaker 4: We've got show notes here, which a lot of people
39:04

39:09
Speaker 4: in the news article archive, there are show notes of
39:13
Speaker 4: all the news programs where we're linking you to the
39:17
Speaker 4: sources that we use to give you the report. So
39:22
Speaker 4: encourage people to go and have a look at this material.
39:25
Speaker 4: And it is also important not just for the factual issue,

Speaker 4: but we're often promoting other people's work where they're doing
39:35
Speaker 4: a good job. So go and visit these links, do
39:38
Speaker 4: your research. In doing that, you're helping the column and
39:42
Speaker 4: other people who are also there trying to tell the
39:45
Speaker 4: truth via new media. Now, tonight at seven pm, we've
39:50
Speaker 4: got Germ Warfare Weekly Banter with Charles and Mike, So
39:55
Speaker 4: get on tonight and enjoy that. We've also got Silk
40:01
Speaker 4: and Steal tonight at nine pm. It's a very interesting one.
40:06
Speaker 4: Trump accidentally makes China stronger? Is China winning?
40:12
Speaker 3: Well?
40:12
Speaker 4: Have a listened to this viewpoint, and of course this
40:16
Speaker 4: is one of a number of interesting analysis analyzes that
40:20
Speaker 4: are coming up to do with America's relationship love hate
40:24
Speaker 4: relationship with China. Now, we've also got some interesting videos
40:31
Speaker 4: coming up. This is for tomorrow at one pm so Tuesday,
40:35
Speaker 4: but also part two on Thursday. This is Sonia Poulton
40:41
Speaker 4: talking about Epstein. But on the thirteenth of June, Common
40:45
Speaker 4: Knowledge Edinburgh hosted a conference that took place both online
40:49
Speaker 4: and in person called Jeffrey Epstein How Deep and Wide
40:53
Speaker 4: Does It Go? And Sonia Poulton was joined by Kirby
40:57
Speaker 4: Summers and Dianne Rasmussen from the UK Column moderated the conference.
41:06
Speaker 4: Now it was a big success and encouraged people tomorrow,
41:10
Speaker 4: Tuesday and Thursday to listen to the clips and see
41:13
Speaker 4: what Sonia and Kirby Smmers had to say. He's a
41:17
Speaker 4: little taster of Sonia Boulton talking.
41:22
Speaker 8: Again.
41:22
Speaker 9: I kept coming back to the question what was it
41:25
Speaker 9: about Epstein that attracted these powerful wealthy men. And one
41:30
Speaker 9: of the things that I realized about Epstein in my
41:33
Speaker 9: research was that he was clearly a social climber. He
41:36
Speaker 9: liked the idea of high society, and in many respects
41:40
Speaker 9: none more so than English high society. And he became
41:44
Speaker 9: friends with Glenn Maxwell, and Glen Maxwell had met Epstein
41:49
Speaker 9: through her very crooked father, Robert, who was friends and
41:53
Speaker 9: acquaintances with Epstein and Robert Max. Well, of course, a
41:58
Speaker 9: spy of fraud. A media boss died, we were told
42:02
Speaker 9: in a boating accident on his yacht, the Lady Glen
42:06
Speaker 9: named after Glen in November nineteen ninety one, and shortly
42:11
Speaker 9: after Robert Maxwell's death, we also heard that four hundred
42:16
Speaker 9: I think it was four hundred and sixty pounds was
42:19
Speaker 9: missing from his business's pension funds.
42:24
Speaker 4: Well, there you are. Tune in to see the full events.
42:29
Speaker 4: But Saunia, of course, fantastic campaign, a gutsy woman, full
42:33
Speaker 4: support to the UK column there for all of her work. Now,
42:37
Speaker 4: I hinted just now that there is trouble coming for
42:41
Speaker 4: new media such as the UK column. This has been stated.
42:47
Speaker 4: All of the elements are there when you know what
42:50
Speaker 4: to look for them. But we'll start off with the
42:52
Speaker 4: fact that I had an email over the weekend, so
42:55
Speaker 4: you need to get the Sunday telegraphed. Didn't want to
42:58
Speaker 4: do that because it involves spending some money on this
43:01
Speaker 4: occasion for our audience. I did it with gritted teeth. Well,
43:05
Speaker 4: let's have a look. Here's the front page. Stormer is
43:08
Speaker 4: ready to resign ally say, well, I think it's appropriate
43:13
Speaker 4: to give the Sunday Telegraph a ticking the box or that.
43:16
Speaker 4: So if they knew that was going to happen, what
43:20
Speaker 4: they didn't talk about was the King there, and the
43:23
Speaker 4: picture of the King on the front page is really
43:27
Speaker 4: froth about the fact he's going to make some of
43:29
Speaker 4: his tactic taxes visible to the public. What the Sunday
43:34
Speaker 4: Telegraph is not going to tell its readers about is
43:37
Speaker 4: how the King is betraying the nation with his support
43:41
Speaker 4: for a globalist agenda which attacked people, families, community and
43:46
Speaker 4: the nation state itself for the United Kingdom. So at
43:51
Speaker 4: the moment, no sign of the Telegraph talking about this.
43:55
Speaker 4: But what was of major interest in this edition was
43:59
Speaker 4: at the bottom of the front page, and here it
44:02
Speaker 4: is the Prime Minister may force social media to promote
44:07
Speaker 4: public service news. Well former Prime Minister on screen here,
44:13
Speaker 4: let's just bring in the headline. But think about what's
44:18
Speaker 4: being said here that they are going to prioritize the
44:22
Speaker 4: BBC in order to push out other commercial media with
44:27
Speaker 4: its independent free speech viewpoint. Ben, this is very very
44:31
Speaker 4: dangerous stuff. I just put an extra little caption on
44:35
Speaker 4: that image of we put that back on screen. See
44:38
Speaker 4: my hands destroying free speech here, there'll be no change
44:42
Speaker 4: with Andy Burnham and I think I've got that one right.
44:45
Speaker 4: And if you're saying, well, what's the proof about what
44:48
Speaker 4: he's doing, well, look no further than basically the Charter,
44:53
Speaker 4: the Royal BBC Royal Charter Review, because when you get
44:57
Speaker 4: into this document you can learn lot very quickly. So
45:01
Speaker 4: here's chapter two. This outlines how the government plans to
45:06
Speaker 4: quote future proof the BBC and as we'll see, the
45:10
Speaker 4: reputation of the BBC falling through the floor. But the
45:14
Speaker 4: government has to keep it going because of course this
45:17
Speaker 4: is the propagander arm. Here's some of the key points
45:21
Speaker 4: they've got to look after building trust in the BBC,
45:25
Speaker 4: they've got to let the BBC narrate the story. This
45:29
Speaker 4: is the propaganda, and they've got to give the BBC
45:32
Speaker 4: the wherewithal to use all of the latest technology, including
45:37
Speaker 4: digital and AI, in order to streamline the propaganda, which you,
45:43
Speaker 4: as a member of the public pay for. So if
45:46
Speaker 4: we get into this, because people often say to the
45:49
Speaker 4: UK colun what's the good news, well let's bring it in.
45:53
Speaker 4: The key facts you can find in this document to
45:56
Speaker 4: me are good news. Let's have a look at them.
45:59
Speaker 4: Over half of UK adults use social media for news,
46:04
Speaker 4: rising to over seventy five percent per sixteen to twenty
46:08
Speaker 4: four year olds. People are abandoning the BBC and the
46:11
Speaker 4: main news channels. Adults can stay there, but you're now
46:16
Speaker 4: getting another indication as to why the government wants to
46:19
Speaker 4: clamp down on youth using alternative media sites. But the
46:24
Speaker 4: good news is you can see the damage that's been
46:27
Speaker 4: done to the BBC and other established media if we
46:31
Speaker 4: go down here. Since twenty eighteen, overall trust in BBC
46:37
Speaker 4: News has dropped seven percentage points. I think I can
46:41
Speaker 4: be able to underline this. Trust in BBC News fell
46:45
Speaker 4: fifteen percentage points and distrusts more than doubled from eleven
46:51
Speaker 4: percent to twenty four percent. This is the BBC. It's
46:57
Speaker 4: beyond repair. But this tis you why the government is
47:01
Speaker 4: now doing everything it can to keep this propaganda machine running.
47:05
Speaker 4: And at the bottom, fifty five percent of UK audiences
47:10
Speaker 4: feel the BBC content includes people like me. Well, of
47:14
Speaker 4: course that means that forty five percent don't feel that,
47:18
Speaker 4: so ben pretty obvious what's coming here. Andy Burnham is
47:23
Speaker 4: going to be ensuring that the BBC stays the world's
47:27
Speaker 4: leading propaganda arm to shut down free speech wherever it's found. Now,
47:33
Speaker 4: if I bring in a little bit more on the
47:35
Speaker 4: BBC propagander and censorship, this is some more policy focus
47:41
Speaker 4: to support the BBC delivering continued public value, ensure that
47:46
Speaker 4: the BBC provides trusted news and information. This is the waffle,
47:51
Speaker 4: This is the froth, because what we're really talking about
47:55
Speaker 4: is a propaganda machine support the BBC's role in entering
48:00
Speaker 4: disinformation nationally and locally, promoting and contextualizing democratic values and
48:07
Speaker 4: social cohesion. And then it says and supporting UK soft
48:12
Speaker 4: power and security, including through the World Service. So the
48:16
Speaker 4: BBC propaganda arm, and it is going to target anybody
48:22
Speaker 4: that challenges that propaganda. So the BBC is the only
48:27
Speaker 4: organization that's going to be able to tell the national
48:30
Speaker 4: story as the BBC can champion new technology for the
48:35
Speaker 4: public good. Now think about that term soft power, because
48:40
Speaker 4: of course the UK column absolutely exposed soft power being
48:45
Speaker 4: used by BBC media action Juliet Sorry, one of the
48:52
Speaker 4: project managers, Juliet Harkin of course boasting that it was
48:56
Speaker 4: BBC media's soft power that was helping to cement regime
49:01
Speaker 4: change in Syria. But let's have a look about what
49:04
Speaker 4: BBC Media Actions say about themselves.
49:11
Speaker 8: Communication.
49:14
Speaker 10: We all depend on information and ideas we can trust
49:18
Speaker 10: to steer our lives.
49:20
Speaker 8: BBC Media Action reaches more than two hundred million people.
49:24
Speaker 10: Around the world, and our local teams work with over
49:28
Speaker 10: one hundred committed media partners, and together, through creative communication,
49:33
Speaker 10: we build a.
49:34
Speaker 8: Freer, fairer and safer world.
49:37
Speaker 10: The media has the power to mobilize communities, hold the
49:40
Speaker 10: powerful to account and inspire change. We amplify people's voices.
49:48
Speaker 10: We keep families healthy.
49:51
Speaker 8: We bridge divides, We help people survive. We know it works.
50:04
Speaker 10: Our audiences no more, discuss more and take actions to
50:10
Speaker 10: change their own lives. Our work supports societies to be
50:15
Speaker 10: more tolerant of each other. More women stand up and
50:18
Speaker 10: are heard, more communities adapt to extreme weather, more people
50:25
Speaker 10: participate in politics, more women have safer births, and more
50:30
Speaker 10: girls attend and stay in school. BBC Media Action we
50:38
Speaker 10: change the story.
50:42
Speaker 4: Well, there we are BBC Media Actions saying it all
50:45
Speaker 4: for two hundred plus million people, and BBC with its
50:50
Speaker 4: wider programming agenda, they are going to be telling the story.
50:54
Speaker 4: And if you dare to challenge their story, then the
50:58
Speaker 4: government is coming for you. I just wanted to push
51:01
Speaker 4: home that the UK column has been warning and warning
51:04
Speaker 4: about this. This is twenty fourteen and the UK Column
51:09
Speaker 4: was warning about BBC media action and soft power, so
51:13
Speaker 4: you can find this on the BBC website. We were
51:16
Speaker 4: also talking about the rise of communitarianism and the common
51:20
Speaker 4: purpose connection that was back in twenty ten. What were
51:24
Speaker 4: we're really talking about in that article subversion of democracy
51:29
Speaker 4: and of course we're now seeing this with Starmer and
51:32
Speaker 4: Andy Burnham. Back in twenty thirteen, here the UK Column
51:37
Speaker 4: was warning about what was to come, and you can
51:40
Speaker 4: see what that was from the headline state control of
51:44
Speaker 4: the press and the media. And if I give you
51:47
Speaker 4: a little example why we need to challenge the BBC
51:51
Speaker 4: in particular BBC report here from today Russian troop build
51:57
Speaker 4: up threatens city seen as key to seizing Ukraine's Dombas.
52:03
Speaker 4: Now this is talking about Constantinivka, which is in the
52:09
Speaker 4: eastern Dombas and basically the statement from the BBC is
52:15
Speaker 4: Russian troops have infiltrated the strategic city of Constantinivka in
52:20
Speaker 4: eastern Ukraine and are now trying to surround it. This
52:25
Speaker 4: is pure propaganda straight out of Ukraine, pushed forward for
52:30
Speaker 4: people in uk to mistakenly believe. Let me show you
52:35
Speaker 4: just a clip. This is a time lapse of what
52:38
Speaker 4: has actually happened around this system, and you can see
52:42
Speaker 4: that the BBC has just put out pure propaganda. So
52:46
Speaker 4: if I play this one through, what you're going to
52:49
Speaker 4: see is a time lapse from April twenty six through
52:54
Speaker 4: into June where Russian forces are surrounding and taking the
53:00
Speaker 4: city of Constantinevka. Now this isn't fully up to date
53:04
Speaker 4: obviously because they've taken even more territory. But for the
53:08
Speaker 4: BBC to say, well there's a bit of infiltration and
53:12
Speaker 4: the possibility of the takeover of Constantineva is a complete
53:17
Speaker 4: and utter lie. And I'll end this section by thanking
53:22
Speaker 4: a gentleman called Patrick Wood for some really phenomenal research
53:26
Speaker 4: where he's looking at how the deep State is going
53:29
Speaker 4: to be weaponizing AI to control the narrative. Lot of
53:34
Speaker 4: detail on screen, but visit his substack, and this is
53:39
Speaker 4: the technology that the BBC is going to be using
53:42
Speaker 4: in order to shut down free speech. Then it's extraordinary
53:48
Speaker 4: what's actually being done at the moment, and it's all
53:51
Speaker 4: in plain sight. So the government talking about it as
53:55
Speaker 4: if it wasn't happening.
53:58
Speaker 3: Algorithmic tyranny ran that's what we're dealing with.
54:01
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And of course we can't even rely on the press,
54:06
Speaker 4: the wider press and media. I'm focusing on the BBC
54:09
Speaker 4: because it's clear that across the wider press and media
54:14
Speaker 4: the truth is slipping out of sight. I just want
54:17
Speaker 4: to show our audience this little ex a tweet that
54:22
Speaker 4: was put out by Mark Galliotti and now this is
54:26
Speaker 4: promoting his article for The Times, which is divide, distracted,
54:32
Speaker 4: dismay why the Kremlin wants to paralyze Britain. So according
54:38
Speaker 4: to the Times, it's those nasty Russians destroying the Country's
54:42
Speaker 4: nothing to do with our own political parties. We've got
54:45
Speaker 4: to blame Putin, and Putin is the man breaking the
54:50
Speaker 4: country down. Now, when we go to look at the
54:52
Speaker 4: author of this article, what we find him linked with
54:56
Speaker 4: with Mayak Intelligence? Why is this of interest us? Well,
55:00
Speaker 4: if you have a look at it, it's a UK
55:02
Speaker 4: based boutique, research, writing, education and consultancy firm concentrating on Russia.
55:10
Speaker 4: But I noted with interest that aside from Russie this
55:14
Speaker 4: gentleman's involved with the Council on Geostrategy, which I've never
55:18
Speaker 4: heard of before. But he's also an advisor for the
55:21
Speaker 4: British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. So is this a bona
55:25
Speaker 4: fide article or is this the British government talking to you?
55:29
Speaker 4: And if we move on, his expertise has been in
55:34
Speaker 4: and around Russia. But he's also involved, as we've said,
55:39
Speaker 4: with this organization, the Council on Geostrategy, and what is this. Well,
55:44
Speaker 4: if you're going to have a quick look at funders,
55:47
Speaker 4: it becomes very interesting very quickly, because they are all
55:52
Speaker 4: they're all defense corporations, the people who will make profit
55:57
Speaker 4: from war. So the nasty Russian accusation fits there. We've
56:01
Speaker 4: got Lockheed Martin. But if we come down, we've got
56:04
Speaker 4: BAE Systems, We've got Babcock International, We've got Capita, we've
56:11
Speaker 4: got the Raw Navy and then Tall is the big
56:14
Speaker 4: defense French defense firm. If we go the other side,
56:17
Speaker 4: we've got our old friends Kinetic and Palanteer. We must
56:21
Speaker 4: never forget Palenteer. We've got the Ministry of Defense itself,
56:26
Speaker 4: and this is the very strange one. We've got a
56:28
Speaker 4: jewelry company now Jewelry Limited. I did check them out
56:35
Speaker 4: and this is their actual website. So if we blow
56:39
Speaker 4: up the small print, it says unveiled timeless elegance with
56:43
Speaker 4: now Jewels hope culture jewelry collection where art artistry meets opulence.
56:52
Speaker 4: So I'm not quite sure how jewelry meets that Russian
56:55
Speaker 4: geopolitics or how it fits in with funding by defense
56:59
Speaker 4: corn tractors. But the article in the Times was absolutely
57:03
Speaker 4: not as it appeared. Here's an article from a local
57:07
Speaker 4: paper residents feeling ignored by the police. This is about
57:11
Speaker 4: breakdown of society. So would the Times be saying this
57:15
Speaker 4: is the fall to those nasty Russians rather than the
57:18
Speaker 4: police themselves. And the UK column is going to stick
57:22
Speaker 4: with our message, which is that if you don't understand
57:26
Speaker 4: what's happening politically, then approach it from the point of
57:30
Speaker 4: view view that we're being attacked by our own political parties,
57:35
Speaker 4: then everything becomes clear.
57:37
Speaker 1: Ben Well, that was incredible, Brian. The organization, the geopolitical organization.
57:44
Speaker 1: I have come across that before, but I hadn't looked
57:46
Speaker 1: properly at the funders, so that was quite quite amazing
57:50
Speaker 1: to see another thing that I was amazed to see
57:52
Speaker 1: is that the Daily Mail has finally started reporting on
57:56
Speaker 1: the yellow card scheme. So I was presented with this
57:59
Speaker 1: ad for an art call on the weekend, and it
58:03
Speaker 1: relates to a very sad story about the chap in
58:06
Speaker 1: the hospital bed in the top right hand side. There
58:09
Speaker 1: that's John Cross, who took his own life after he
58:12
Speaker 1: was paralyzed by the Astrosenka vaccine, and his wife has
58:17
Speaker 1: finally been awarded some compensations three years after his death.
58:22
Speaker 1: And obviously that's just one of many, many examples of
58:25
Speaker 1: people being injured or killed by COVID vaccines now being
58:29
Speaker 1: finally reported in the mainstream media more than five years
58:33
Speaker 1: after the vaccination program kicked off, which I suppose in
58:36
Speaker 1: some ways is a good development, but then also extremely
58:40
Speaker 1: depressing on the flip side of it as well as
58:42
Speaker 1: is not exactly leading to any kind of accountability. But
58:45
Speaker 1: what I was particularly struck by was the way that
58:48
Speaker 1: this was delivered to me on Facebook. So if we
58:50
Speaker 1: can get that back on screen quickly, I took a
58:52
Speaker 1: screen grab of what I was exactly as I was shown.
58:55
Speaker 1: This was the second article out of two I was
58:58
Speaker 1: being recommended in. The first one was this one Hampshire
59:02
Speaker 1: residents is to get COVID vaccination before the program in.
59:06
Speaker 1: It's almost like they're deliberately taking the mickey.
59:09
Speaker 4: It's terrific, isn't it. And many many hundreds of thousands
59:13
Speaker 4: of people millions of people damaged by the vaccines worldwide,
59:18
Speaker 4: and of course no proper, full and proper government investigation
59:22
Speaker 4: into what took place. Millions and billions for the vaccine companies,
59:28
Speaker 4: but no money for people who suffered damage, as we
59:32
Speaker 4: saw from the mhra's own statistics here and the yellow
59:36
Speaker 4: Card data which the UK column made available during the
59:41
Speaker 4: COVID nineteen scan demic itself. So it's very cruel what
59:46
Speaker 4: they're doing here, Ben, and they know what they're doing,
59:49
Speaker 4: stringing people along on the basis that they might get
59:53
Speaker 4: the derisory payout in compensation from the government, and then
59:57
Speaker 4: at the last minute the government says, oh, sorry, you're
1:00:00
Speaker 4: not disabled enough, and that gentleman tragically took his life
1:00:05
Speaker 4: as a result. So I'm just going to bring it
1:00:07
Speaker 4: back when we were discussing what sort of man Andy
1:00:11
Speaker 4: Burnham is and why it appears he didn't take appropriate
1:00:14
Speaker 4: action around the abuse of children. If they're prepared to
1:00:19
Speaker 4: accept the abuse of children, They're going to accept damage
1:00:23
Speaker 4: to adults and children as well, anything via vaccines. But
1:00:28
Speaker 4: I will say to our audience today a very big
1:00:31
Speaker 4: thank you for all the people who've emailed me as
1:00:34
Speaker 4: a result of the report on rhina Formick, the exclusive
1:00:38
Speaker 4: that I put out last week, a two and a
1:00:42
Speaker 4: half our video report. But it's clear that the thousands
1:00:47
Speaker 4: and thousands of people that have seen it have watched
1:00:52
Speaker 4: from start to finish, so people clearly with a revitalized
1:00:57
Speaker 4: interest in what actually happened around rhyino Formick, who of
1:01:01
Speaker 4: course brought hundreds of experts, professionals in the medical and
1:01:06
Speaker 4: scientific arena together in order to talk about the damage
1:01:13
Speaker 4: that vaccines were doing and why this was a failed policy.
1:01:19
Speaker 4: Many people would say it was policy designed to damage.
1:01:22
Speaker 4: But Rhinoformick in prison with accusations of embezzlement. This seems
1:01:30
Speaker 4: a strange, a strange coincidence after his work. But the
1:01:34
Speaker 4: key point is thousands and thousands of people are now
1:01:38
Speaker 4: watching that UK column report and they are starting to
1:01:43
Speaker 4: revisit the circumstances around the imprisonment of rhino Formick. So
1:01:48
Speaker 4: it's going to be very interesting to see how this
1:01:50
Speaker 4: one developed and we will be making further reports on
1:01:54
Speaker 4: him and his situation. Finally, Ben, I think you might.
1:02:01
Speaker 1: Have just to remind ourselves that not everything is bad
1:02:05
Speaker 1: in the world. I had a wonderful weekend up on
1:02:08
Speaker 1: the northwest of Dartmoor and we were camping and swimming
1:02:13
Speaker 1: in rivers and the weather was fantastic, and we took
1:02:17
Speaker 1: a walk up to brent Or Church. This was on
1:02:20
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, so on the actual summersaultstice. It is an
1:02:23
Speaker 1: incredible day and in the church if you get a
1:02:27
Speaker 1: chance to see it, because I didn't know anything about it,
1:02:29
Speaker 1: just went up there, walked to the top of the
1:02:31
Speaker 1: hill and I walked into this incredible, tiny little chapel
1:02:34
Speaker 1: and was just greeted by the most amazing stained glass
1:02:37
Speaker 1: window of Saint Michael with the simple yes sort of
1:02:43
Speaker 1: justice and the the sort of truth and the scales
1:02:46
Speaker 1: of justice, which felt apt for us today and every
1:02:51
Speaker 1: time we do the news, I think that's what we're
1:02:52
Speaker 1: aiming for.
1:02:53
Speaker 4: And Ben, you survived the temperature and the altitude.
1:02:57
Speaker 1: I did spontaneously combust at one point, but I'm fine.
1:03:01
Speaker 4: So okay, all right, that's brilliant. We'll say to the audience,
1:03:06
Speaker 4: warm weather, sunshine coming up. This is all designed to
1:03:09
Speaker 4: make you happier, so don't take any notes of the
1:03:12
Speaker 4: BBC that's trying to depress people by the fact it's
1:03:15
Speaker 4: going to be sunny and glorious. Get out there and
1:03:19
Speaker 4: enjoy yourselves. Take proper protections if you're fair skinned, but otherwise,
1:03:25
Speaker 4: this good weather and sunshine is designed to uplift you.
1:03:29
Speaker 4: It is not designed to drag you down and keep
1:03:31
Speaker 4: you indoors. So look after yourselves. You need to do
1:03:35
Speaker 4: that to fight the battle we're fighting. Final comment from
