Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the eighteenth of March twenty twenty four,
0:13
just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News. I'm your host,
0:17
Brian Gerrish, and I'm delighted to have with me today Alex Thompson talking from
0:23
the Netherlands, and we've also got Mark Anderson speaking from the United States.
0:30
Well, we're going to get straight on with the election of Putin. Of
0:34
course, this has caused huge angst in the Western governments and we've only got
0:40
to have a look at some of the headlines to see the victoriol that's come
0:46
across as a result of an eighty eight percent of the vote for Putin.
0:50
So we've got snarling Vladimir Putin's chilling switch to anger and defiance in election victory.
0:58
Putin says rush election indicates trust and hoping him Putin maybe the biggest dupe
1:04
of his fake election landslide and the critical one we'll bring in here. Putin
1:11
warns of World War three if Western troops into Ukraine as he wins another election.
1:19
So Alex, I'll welcome you into today's news and just ask you what
1:25
you think. I had to smile, because, of course I've seen over
1:29
many many elections in UK and the West. What is essentially the controlling of
1:34
the vote by massive amounts of money to influence which way the publican are going
1:41
to vote. And of course we've seen the shambles in the United States over
1:46
recent years. It seems a bit rich for the finger to be pointed at
1:49
Putin, but perhaps I'm being cynical again. Well, Putin did himself lay
1:57
his finger on this issue, raised of US vote fraud in acceptance speeches he
2:07
has been accurately subtitles by outlets available in the West. He did say that
2:12
the USA is now a joke electorally. He knows very well what the game
2:16
is. I mean, he, being a man who believes in strong central
2:20
rule, although Russia is also a federal state, has often said we Russians
2:25
have a very different system from the US. We don't quite understand. A
2:29
lot of Europeans say the same thing. We don't understand how the US states
2:32
and counties have so much sovereignty. But nevertheless, he has come out and
2:37
done what he never did before. I'm not cheerleading for him, I'm just
2:38
observing. Whereas until a few months ago he would have said the internal political
2:44
affairs of the United States are not for me, as president of the Russian
2:46
Federation to speak about. He is now saying you don't have a leg to
2:50
stand on. Cynics would of course say that that's him deflecting, but I
2:53
think the point is solidly made. A wider question, of course, is
2:57
whether Putin really has full and total control of domestic and warfare policy in Russia.
3:02
Perhaps we'll put on in the show notes for a contrarian and well informed
3:07
view a recent interview by Yuria Roshka of Moldova, pleading that that isn't the
3:12
case. But be that as it may. Putin's electoral victory is, should
3:15
we say, perhaps only slightly massaged by Western standards. I think the overwhelming
3:20
majority of the population, the large majority anyway, and certainly outside the three
3:23
main cities did vote for him. Okay, Alex, thank you for that.
3:28
Well, let's just look at a tiny bit of this video clip we're
3:30
just played on screen and talked through. But what happens here is that Putin
3:38
gets asked a question by this journalist, and he's really saying, well,
3:45
what is the West going to do? What do they think? Now you've
3:47
been reelected and in Putin's response, he says, well, they're going to
3:52
become ever more cunning. So I don't think there's any doubt that Putin doesn't
3:58
know what's coming. The West doesn't like him being re elected, and we're
4:02
seeing all the dirty tricks in the background. And of course, if we
4:06
go on to this earlier clip from twenty fourteen, this is another big thorn
4:13
in the poor of the West that Putin of course has been popular and in
4:16
power for so long, and this really gives him a very strong base.
4:24
And was regime changed the objective with all of the machinations in Ukraine, Well,
4:30
absolutely it was, but he's still there. Now, let's have a
4:35
look at a man who's very wobbly at the moment, and that's defense sectary
4:40
Grant Shaps. The papers are covering this story that he was forced to abandon
4:46
a Desa trip due to what they labeled as security concerns. I chose the
4:50
report from Forces dot net here, but this was over the UK media and
4:58
let's have a look at a little bit of the d tell of that.
5:00
So Grant Shapps was busy sounding off. He said that Putin had shown himself
5:04
to be reckless ruthless and careless. The fact he came parily, perishally close
5:11
to essentially assassinating two Western leaders. It doesn't matter whether that is deliberate or
5:16
accidental. Now he's referring to an earlier Russian missile strike. He went on
5:23
to say in this article, what the hell is he Putin doing and why
5:27
the heck would the West allow him to do that kind of thing? Well,
5:30
what is Putin doing. He's doing what he's always done, which is
5:34
accurate missile strikes or military targets in Ukraine. And the strike that had taken
5:42
place earlier is the key one. So let's have a look at some of
5:46
the other headlines before we put in the reality. But here we are.
5:49
Shapps canceled his Odessa trip over fears of assassination because Moscow had suddenly become aware
5:58
of his position. Allegedly, Grant Shapes forced to cancel Ukraine port trip due
6:03
to threat of Russian missile strike, and experts warnrif critical aircraft are effectively defensively
6:12
after electronic warfare attacks by the Russians. So let's put the headline in over
6:17
the top. Well, what had really happened is that the previous Russian missile
6:23
strike in the Odessa area had wiped out a significant number of Western military advisers,
6:29
including French specialists responsible apologies the typo there for operating and targeting weapons systems
6:36
in Ukraine. So this is what made Shapes get very nervous and call off
6:45
the trip, was that another batch of Western advisors had been killed for the
6:48
Russians, as they said they would do if these people got involved in Ukraine
6:53
itself. And if we pot this up on screen obviously from social media,
6:58
but it makes a key point that it is the help of the NATO,
7:04
Nations, Europe, UK, the US. And if we just bring in
7:09
the arrow, we can see it top right of the map, we've got
7:12
Adessa showing its key position, and if we move the pointer down we'll see
7:17
that this is one of the US battlefield surveillance aircraft that are providing such vital
7:25
battlefield targeting for the Ukrainians. So it's no wonder that the Russians are so
7:30
keen to deal with the Adessa problem. And this is the reason why we've
7:35
heard Macron and other Western leaders talking about the importance of stopping the Russians moving
7:43
into Odessa and that local region. So here's mister Grant Schaps. This is
7:49
the man who ran away from Adessa. But of course if we have a
7:54
look at his tweets, what do we discover, Well, this is the
7:57
man who wants every other nation to fight his proxy war. He's keen for
8:01
the British troops to be involved, and that'll be very interesting to see how
8:07
they fare up against the Russian forces. But here he is saying that,
8:13
oh, well, those Polish people have kept us safe before, and presumably
8:18
they can keep us safe in the future. So he runs away from danger,
8:22
but he wants other nations and British forces to keep him safe. It's
8:28
pretty sickening stuff. And if people are still not sure how the war in
8:33
Ukraine is going, I'll just put up one image from weeb Union and if
8:39
we can just bring that one on screen. And what we see here is
8:45
all these little yellow marks our defensive positions, the reddish color to the right
8:50
of the screen, Russian territory to the left of screen Ukrainian and basically the
8:58
Ukrainians are now moving back from the long prepared defensive into much weaker spread defenses.
9:07
Many of these trenches are not proper trenches. And the Ukrainians suffering huge
9:11
losses. I'll just show you this clip of a Russian strike on a Ukrainian
9:18
drone position. This is where the Russians are now causing more and more casualties
9:24
in the Ukrainian sector. So if we just activate that little video clip,
9:28
we'll see another strike and that will be more dead Ukrainians in an instant.
9:35
But of course it's not only male soldiers that are dying on the Ukrainian battlefield,
9:41
because as we'll see from the next picture, we've now got a horrific
9:46
wounds to women who are fighting. And I don't know whether the lady in
9:52
the picture has lost both her arms and part of a leg. Possibly she's
9:56
got one arm behind her, but certainly she has lost one arm at the
10:00
shoulder. So this is what Grant Shaps and his team are encouraging more people
10:05
to die social media taking the mickey out of Macron. As we can see
10:11
in this particular image, what does the picture show, Well, it's Macron
10:16
looking at a bust of Napoleon, and Macron's asking what do you mean God
10:22
is with Russia? And the secondary label by Napoleon is well, go find
10:28
out and the reality in France that has been over recent days that there have
10:35
been protests which we can just bring up on screen, and people do not
10:41
want those French troops to be going to Ukraine but not reported in Western So
11:11
those are the bad people because they're protesting essentially for peace and against the war.
11:18
But if we can just bring Grant Shaps back on screen in his own
11:22
little video clip, what have we got. Well, Huvelo can judge the
11:26
man for what he is. I want to tell you about a great offer
11:33
coming to you. It's the Great British Rail Sale, offering over one million
11:39
advanced tickets to passengers with up to a massive fifty percent off. Why not
11:43
take a trip to Edinra to take in the sweeping views from Arthur's seat.
11:48
Or if it's sea and sand that you want, well head to Cornwall with
11:52
its stretches of beautiful sand and crashing waves. Or visit the Lake District,
11:58
the land dancing daffodils and from Wordsworth Paradise. Or come down to London for
12:07
a bit of retailed therapy. You know, we've had two years of living
12:13
life virtually, it's time to get real odd beautiful country and cut So maybe
12:24
it would be slightly amusing if he wasn't the man who's running a proxy war
12:31
where four hundred thousand dead, possibly more at the moment, but he wants
12:37
more troops in on the ground, more nations involved in that proxy war.
12:41
We'll leave our audience to judge Grant Shaps for themselves. Now let's move on
12:46
to Mark Anderson and welcome to today's news. Mark, you've been having a
12:52
look at the Council for Foreign Relations, which of course is often at the
12:56
back of a lot of the globalist plans. Good morning, Brian and everyone,
13:03
and happy Saint Pat's day one day removed to the viewers and the staff
13:07
at UK column. Yeah, this is sort of the rosetta stone of what's
13:11
going on. And I'll mention, don't forget last week's report where I talked
13:15
about the Chicago version of the Council on Foreign Relations to Chicago Consul and Global
13:20
Affairs, and they did that survey and many people in America don't want any
13:26
more involvement in Ukraine, but they want Ukraine to join NATO, and if
13:30
that happens, that would oblige America and other countries signatories to NATO to come
13:35
to Ukraine's defense in the war. So this is a major thing to keep
13:39
an eye on. Is that the idea all along, the main fundamental idea
13:45
to get Ukraine into NATO and then everything becomes a fate accompany. But anyway,
13:50
this slide that we're looking at here, this next one is this seminal
13:54
article by the now late Richard Gardner, a longtime Columbia Universe the professor.
14:01
He was in the State Department, Trilateral Commission CFI. Of course, in
14:05
this article, this is the fifty year anniversary of this all important article,
14:09
The Hard Road to World Order by Richard Gardner. And we'll quote it a
14:15
little bit. It's kind of self explanatory. Now here's a slide as a
14:18
preliminary item. This is a quote from the current edition of Foreign Affairs.
14:26
Foreign Affairs is the ongoing CFR journal where The Hard Road World Order appeared.
14:31
Of course, that journal has been in existence a long time. This is
14:33
a little something out of the current edition March April twenty twenty four. It
14:39
has become it's become trite to say that liberalism is in crisis. This is
14:46
written by Helena Rosenblatt. I think it is. Anyway, she talks about
14:54
illiberal democracy being the system that we must support around the world, and that
15:03
fundamentalism, authoritarianism, populism, and all of these things are not alternative world
15:09
views, they're not other ways of thinking. They're described as threats, literal
15:15
threats. And so basically, in this current article, she's saying that anything
15:20
other than neoliberalism is illiberal, not only illiberal, but not only illogical,
15:28
but a outright threat. So, in other words, neoliberalism is the only
15:33
way to go. So it's a very monopolistic way of thinking. Populism is
15:37
out, any kind of authoritarianism is out, etc. Et cetera. Keeping
15:41
that in mind, now we're going back to this article that came out fifty
15:45
years ago, actually fifty years ago next month, and here's what Richard Gardner
15:50
had to say. We are witnessing an outbreak of shortsighted nationalism. Think about
15:56
that. They still say the same thing today. We're witnessed an outbreak of
16:00
short sighted nationalism that seems oblivious to the economic, political, and moral implications
16:06
of interdependence. Will keep going from there. And yet never has there been
16:14
such widespread recognition by the world's intellectual leadership of the necessity for cooperation and planning
16:21
on a truly global basis beyond country. But the real clincher is the next
16:26
statements after that in this twenty page article. In short, the house of
16:32
world order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than the top
16:34
down. It will look like a great booming, buzzing confusion, to use
16:38
William James's famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty.
16:48
Eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault.
16:55
And that comment there the last couple slides. Many analysts have cited it
17:00
as an instance where the CFI has taken the gloves off and revealed its real
17:06
true essence, that it's all about eroding national sovereignty piece by piece to form
17:12
a world government, and that it would provide the studies and the intellectual input
17:17
and the personnel in government to make that happen over the decades since the CFIRE
17:22
was founded in nineteen twenty one. So this is an important cornerstone to site
17:26
Brian in terms of understanding world affairs today. Mark, thank you very much
17:33
for that, and we'll be able to link into some of those concepts when
17:37
we start talking about local authorities in the second half of the news, So
17:41
really good segue, Alex, let's bring you back in. Well, what
17:47
about Switzerland a bastion of democracy? Or is it at least one canton isn't
17:53
Brian? Just before I get stuck into that, I think what Mark has
17:56
just set out explains eloquently to us from a fifty year perspective, why it
18:02
is not just that, as you say, we have local councils obeying supranational
18:07
or NGO orders which have come from the likes of these set cfr But equally
18:14
explain why this bottom up push is coming through the culture. It hasn't come
18:19
by accident. This this push for radical change right. Martin Selner, for
18:26
those who do not know, is an identitarian activist, and the originally French
18:30
term edonte terre means somebody who believes that the indigenous or autoconous peoples of the
18:37
Western European or Western countries have a right to advocate for their continued existence as
18:41
a majority in their own homelands despite demographic change through mass immigration. The identitarian
18:48
movement is largely well educated and youthful, and is known for its brave but
18:53
lawful actions, unfurling banners for example, has got itself in a lot of
18:57
hot water in a lot of countries, including France. Zelner is from Vienna,
19:00
Austria. His wife Brittany is from Oregon and lives with him now in
19:04
Vienna. We recently reported in late January. The link will be in the
19:08
show notes the twenty ninth of January episode that Selma had got himself an extremely
19:14
rare breach of the Shengen Agreement, which is that participating member states can allow
19:19
the citizens to travel freely. He was declared persona nongrata within that and booted
19:23
out of Germany by the unlovable German Interior Minister Nancy Faser. After that he
19:30
went to the Swiss canton of Argau. The canton is significant. I'll be
19:34
explaining in a moment why to give a book launch, a book presentation as
19:38
they would call it on the continent for his book remi grat sion, which
19:42
people are translating remigration, but a more accurate term given it's the use of
19:47
the idea in history. In English history would be voluntary repatriation. That's what
19:52
remi grat siorn is. This is the plan that was discussed innocuously enough it
19:56
seems by him in Potsdam near Berlin recently, when the German FEDS decided to
20:03
tip off an equivalent of hope not hate called correct tief to bug a clock
20:07
on the wall of the hotel suite, so that the scandal could break and
20:11
that the germansom shoulds the equivalent of F B I or M I five could
20:14
wash their hands of it and say it wasn't us mate. Well, Selda
20:17
was giving his presentation or book launch in r GO and with apologies that the
20:22
first few seconds are muffled recording. Don't turn your volume up or you'll be
20:26
defined afterwards. But if you listen to it carefully, you'll hear what's being
20:30
said if you speak German. This is what happened at the book launch.
20:38
And as the adsitant olfson A did, yeah, very that's stuff. Answers
21:26
for the start on any coots he wanted to know. Okay, okay,
21:45
okay. Now, despite the writing in English on the side of that blue
21:53
police ban that said border guards, these are in fact or the the leadership
21:59
of that operation on Saturday, the sixteenth of March was the Cantonal Police of
22:03
Arco. One of these twenty six cantons in Switzerland. Here is Martin Selner's
22:07
description in his statement on telegram, and I think other platforms as well of
22:12
what happened. He says, today, the police in the Canton of Argo,
22:15
Switzerland, stormed the speech, turned off the electricity, handcuffed me while
22:19
you saw that. The first thing they did was say everybody out and performed
22:23
at pushback. Now, this isn't Zelner's English, leaving anything competer to be
22:27
desired. His English is brilliant. He's because he's well versed now in I'm
22:30
immigration law, which is a very specific and complex area of international and domestic
22:34
law. He's using the term correctly. A pushback is prime efaciate, an
22:38
unlawful act by a state when it sees somebody and says before interviewing him,
22:42
I don't like the look of you. You're going back over my border.
22:45
This being Switzerland, which is as decentralized as the USA, it's only the
22:49
Canton of Argo that banned him. The Swiss Feds were not involved. He
22:52
says, I'm not allowed to enter the canton for two months. The reason
22:56
I presented my book and the police said, this is the first time we've
22:59
removed somebody from canton for ten years, while fifty thousand illegals entered Switzerland as
23:03
a whole the twenty six cantons in twenty twenty three. But he says that
23:07
his ideas will inevitably spread here. He is on Telegram sorry on x formerly
23:14
Twitter, saying that he will challenge the decision and it's interesting to see what
23:18
he has given by way of documentation here. First of all, the reason
23:22
that he was given for being booted out of the canton was he was threatening
23:26
public order and security by saying it is possible to induce people to remigrate voluntarily.
23:32
Elon Musk replied, is this legal? Well, mister Musk, if
23:34
you're sincerely asking, I don't know. The question these days is all down
23:38
to which judge you have and which jurisdiction you're in, because there's such a
23:41
mishmash of Cantonal Swiss and to some extent ehr Dur is prudent on this that
23:48
would all cross cut against each other. Look at the documents he was given.
23:52
First, equivalent to getting a naughty boy banning order from the high street
23:56
by the British police is a red delinear map of the canton saying you not
24:00
come here for two months, naughty boy. And here is the front page
24:06
of his banning order signed by the Cantonal police. If we zoom in there
24:10
we see that the one line summary by the Cantonal Police of the case was
24:17
removed speaker at an event which in this wonderful officious German is described as which
24:23
could be described as belonging to the right wing scene. And then the reason
24:29
for removal it is for the preservation of public order and security. Zicherheite covers
24:34
a multitude of sins in German speaking countries. And here's the really scandalous thing.
24:38
It is assumed, that is by the police that if he stays on
24:42
the territory of the canton, further rallies might happen. Oh dear, we
24:47
can't have that now. Why did I say Argau is significant, Well,
24:51
because Dr Thomas Binder has his cardiology practice in that very canton. And Zelda
24:56
got off lightly, you could say, because when Domads Binder describes on social
25:02
media he wasn't quite in agreement with the official COVID narrative. In the early
25:07
days of lockdown the Argyll Cantonal Police. It's only a Titchi Canton too.
25:11
They sent sixty six zero armed police to get him out. So he's perhaps
25:18
put of lightly as Selner and that's a Binder interview will be in the show
25:22
notes. He may even be watching it. His a regular viewer. Now
25:23
is doctor Binder. Similar things happening in Britain, of course, And here
25:29
is a comparison with the you could call it the strides and effect happening with
25:33
Patriotic Alternative last week being declared extremists without being proscribed by the Home Office,
25:38
a bit like that CFR saying liberal democracy. And now last week we see
25:41
that we are defending the States, defending liberal parliamentary democracy. It gets ever
25:45
more specific, but we see the roots of it go back to Rockefeller thinking
25:49
well pertually called patriotic alternative. The subject of this we say non legal naughty
25:56
boy order. Last week they've had a complete spike in their Google search is
26:00
last week. This was shared by Laura Tawner, who, as we reported
26:03
recently, has recently had to see her husband san Milia imprisoned for his stickers.
26:10
Okay, well, yes it's coming here. Well it's not going to
26:14
be long before it's if it was British police making that arrest. It would
26:18
have been at least eight of them, in my opinion, and not the
26:21
two that we saw in the Swiss canton Mark. Let's bring you back because
26:26
America, of course, huge problems on its southern border, and again,
26:30
dare people speak out. Lots of things are happening today. This day is
26:37
very pivotal, not just this issue. I'll mentioned briefly that on March four,
26:44
there was a stay issued on SB four Senate Bill four in Texas that
26:48
would allow Texas to act like a nation state and detain and deport those that
26:55
illegally enter the Lone Star State. Well, that law I had to stay
27:00
issued against it March four, and on March twelve, Samuel Alito, Associate
27:06
Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, extended to stay until today,
27:11
March eighteen, four pm US Central time in Texas. So as of
27:15
today, get this this afternoon at four o'clock local time, we'll find out
27:21
if Texas number one has the courage to enforce SB four, and to see
27:26
if anyone else at the federal government level, let's say Biden somehow with an
27:30
executive order whatever it might be, to see if anyone else interferes. So
27:37
it's a real testing ground to see if Abbot's got the political will to actually
27:41
enforce that law. But in the meantime, we have a slide here that
27:45
shows a very ironic and puzzling situation. I'll describe it. Governor Abbott sends
27:52
one hundred and five thousand migrants to sanctuary cities. Now, many conservatives are
27:57
cheering this. You go, Governor Abbott, You're going to show those liberals
28:02
in those blue cities. You're going to show them what for. You're going
28:06
to show them how hard it is to handle all these illegals. And here's
28:08
some specifics in the next slide. Texas has transported over one hundred and five
28:14
thousand migrants to these sanctuary cities. Over twelve thousand, five hundred to Washington,
28:18
DC, almost forty thousand in New York City, a little over thirty
28:22
two thousand to Chicago, thirty four hundred Philadelphia, sixteen thousand, seven hundred
28:27
to Denver, and about fifteen hundred to LA. Until Biden does his job,
28:33
this is Greg Abbott's own expost. Until Biden does his job to secure
28:37
the border, Texas will continue to hold the line. But here is the
28:41
problem. One hundred and five thousand migrants going into the interno United States is
28:48
actually the trafficking or the importing of the people that have illegally crossed the border.
28:56
So Abbot, according to many critics I've talked about, maybe putting on
29:00
a good show, but he's still sending over one hundred thousand of those who
29:03
ought to have been detained, possibly deported, and sending them into the internal
29:08
United States, into the very sanctuary cities where the migrants want to go.
29:15
So many many border watchers, people that are right in the real Grand Water,
29:21
real Grand River's water that I know of, that have really been up
29:23
close and personal on this issue. They're very upset about this. They think
29:27
it's a lot of play acting and double dealing by Governor Abbott. But get
29:32
this next slide. The Biden administration sets a target to deport one hundred and
29:37
twenty five thousand migrants in twenty twenty five, only half the number that were
29:42
deported in twenty nineteen when mister Trump was in there. But get that Biden
29:48
wants to deport one hundred and twenty five thousand, yet Abbott is sending over
29:53
one hundred thousand into the interior and acting like it's a good thing. So
29:57
a lot of people are crying follow on this, guys. They believe that
30:03
Abbott is being duplicitous. They don't trust him. And you have that Senate
30:07
Bill Forth decision today that stay is dropping and we'll see. So today is
30:14
the bell Weather day on whether Texas is really going to enforce its border and
30:18
mean what it says and says what it means. And just to wind up
30:22
here, this is from the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, a very
30:26
very left wing outfit, and they're reminding sbfore is currently scheduled to take effect
30:33
no earlier than today, March eighteenth, at four pm Central time. And
30:37
they're saying the US District Court for the Western District of Texas initially blocked this
30:41
unconstitutional law from going into effect. However, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
30:47
reversed that decision. The ACLU wants the Supreme Court to uphold any measure that
30:53
would prevent SB four from coming into effect. And basically readers and viewers can
30:59
get more details from the show notes. The ACLU is explaining a little bit
31:03
more about this. They're saying the new law authorizes untrained police officers to engage
31:08
in immigration enforcement. That's a bit out of focus. They're very well trained.
31:14
They're saying it creates a new unconstitutional process in which the Texas police are
31:18
permitted to detain people suspected of being non US citizens. And actually the Texas
31:26
Constitution provides the groundwork for this, and when the federal government fails, kind
31:30
of like the doctrine of the lesser magistrates Texas, it's their prerogative to step
31:36
in and fill the void. So that's what's going on, a very pivotal
31:40
time for immigration, and we'll see if Texas is up to the challenge.
31:44
Well, thank you very much for that. As you took us through that
31:47
to report your earlier segment on the Council for Foreign Relations, came in my
31:52
head and the expression was buzzing confusion. And this is one of the things
31:56
we see worldwide k in immigration. Borders are open, people are coming in,
32:04
some of them are considered dangerous, and then we're going through the rigmarole
32:08
of trying to get people out of the country where they haven't been checked when
32:14
they come in. This is happening in America, It's happening in the UK
32:17
and there's an undertone of this globalist policy. We'll get more onto that in
32:22
a minute, but let's just say if you like what the UK Column does,
32:27
then please do join us become members. It's a relatively small number of
32:31
people who subscribe and donate to UK Column take out a paid membership. They
32:37
are the ones that keep us going. We would like many more people to
32:42
do the same to enable us to expand. Now you can help us by
32:45
buying something from the UK Column shop and I'll add to what's on screen,
32:52
which of course is the t shirts that we also have had great interest in
32:57
the stickers that we've now got, but in fact we're sold out, so
33:00
we're waiting for an order to come in on that. But you can also
33:04
share our material. It is put out there to be shared, but please
33:08
do acknowledge us when you do that. Now information or new articles up on
33:15
the UK Column website. We've got seen the Wood from the Trees Farming and
33:19
Habitat in Wales with Gareth Wynn Jones, so that's a very interesting discussion there.
33:25
I'd also like to say that we're getting great interest in the Green King
33:31
discussion, which Debbie Evans and myself have been having So if you haven't yet
33:37
seen part one and two of The Green King, encourage you to do it
33:42
because it's asking a lot of questions. And I'll just say that we understand
33:45
that will be some announcement apparently on Wednesday from the royal family, but we
33:51
don't know the subject or the topic, but a lot of people seem to
33:54
be talking about this now. This lady I did an interview with recently.
34:00
That interview will go out Tuesday at one o'clock. Madeline Hunts, the General
34:07
secretary from the Heritage Party, Polish lady warning about the things that she has
34:14
seen in Poland starting to unfold in UK and this is control of local authorities,
34:21
so it's a very interesting discussion. We've also got the Freedom Alliance have've
34:25
got there on x meeting, so details are here. That's seven pm tonight,
34:31
but if you go to Freedom Alliance dot co dot UK you can find
34:36
out more on that. Well, where does that bring us? It brings
34:40
us into chaos and confusion in local authorities and of course one of the big
34:45
problems coming to the surface at the moment is that many authorities in UK are
34:52
heading rapidly towards bankruptcy. The BBC's report on it is here. I can
34:58
resist just showing a little a little bit of their image vital services or financial
35:04
ruin England's town hall dilemma. And if we bring in that text again,
35:08
it says, from bin collections and street lighting to child protection and elderly care,
35:14
councils provide services we all use, but in England more and more in
35:19
danger of going bust. BBC Panorama has followed the struggles of one such authority
35:25
and the people who rely on it. Now I'm going to say I haven't
35:30
seen the detail of BBC Panorama, but the BBC's reporting simply fails to get
35:36
into the detail of what's actually happening with these councils. But if we have
35:39
a look at some of the key points that they flag up, if we
35:45
press the button, we should be able to bring in the arrow. There
35:47
we go. Funding for councils across England is calculated on census information from thirty
35:54
years thirteen years ago, and then it says Havring has ten more people living
36:00
in the borough than twenty eleven. This is key because the country has got
36:07
a huge increase in the number of people now living in UK, but this
36:10
is one of the subjects the BBC doesn't want to discuss. It also says
36:15
that seventy percent of that particular council spending goes on social care for adults and
36:22
children, and that is a topic the UK column has been warning about for
36:25
a great many years. We've also got legal changes. In twenty fifteen,
36:31
the number of young people in England eligible for education, health and care plans
36:37
part funded by the councils has doubled to more than half a million, so
36:42
we have more and more problems in basic education. And then another statement here.
36:46
In ten years the amount spent per person on children's services by town halls
36:52
has risen from one hundred and twenty pounds to two hundred and twelve seventy seven
36:58
percent increase, and equivalent adult social care spend is up from two hundred and
37:05
fifty two to three hundred and seventy two. If we do a crude analysis
37:09
of what's happening here, we've simply got the costs of breakdown. We can't
37:15
look after our children, we can't look after our elderly people. We've got
37:20
a lot of people with emotional trouble physical and mental health problems and all of
37:24
this cost money. We are looking at society that has not broken down.
37:30
We're looking at society that is being broken down its policy. And if we
37:37
move on to a slightly different area, but still with local councils. We've
37:42
got a March twenty twenty four report just out on the low traffic neighborhoods.
37:46
So this is a research report which the government has commissioned. As to how
37:51
it is all going, you can see the detail of it here, but
37:55
we've just pulled out a little bit of the detail to have a look at.
37:59
So if we bring the bit on screen, it says stakeholders across the
38:04
sample interviewed felt that the LTNs were introduced in a rush. Stakeholders in transport
38:10
related organizations thought there was a disconnect between the transport sector's view of the LTNs
38:17
and those of the public. So we've got confusion and chaos. And then
38:22
lastly down here, stakeholders across the sample stress that they did excuse me,
38:28
they do not yet know the impact of the LTNs. So this is all
38:34
government policy that's been absolutely rushed in and now we're seeing the fruits are more
38:39
confusion and chaos between the public and transport providers and other so called stakeholders.
38:46
But if we go to conclusions here, we've got this one. While the
38:51
review of existing evidence showed that LTN schemes have several positive impacts, albeit with
38:59
more and so certainty in terms of economic ones, this remains largely unrecognized by
39:05
stakeholders or residents in the four schemes where the survey research was conducted. Apologies
39:10
a couple of typos there, but we're talking uncertainty about the schemes. And
39:16
then it says low awareness of the schemes amongst residents and uncertainty about benefits does
39:22
not automatically translate into widespread opposition. So the government showing it's fearful here the
39:30
people that are now challenging these low traffic schemes, they're not actually forcing enough
39:37
because the government thinks it's just under control. People are pushing back, but
39:44
not enough to cause the government problems. And if we bring in this last
39:47
conclusion again, in summary, this research has found a mixed picture in terms
39:53
of ltn's measurable impacts at least in the short term, plus a degree of
39:59
uncertain and tee of in terms of perceived impact. These are related factors and
40:05
underline the importance of collecting robust evidence over time, as well as achieving better
40:10
communications that should be Being able to demonstrate positive impacts ought to improve the reputation
40:17
of LTNs. So too would improvements to community engagement, awareness and understanding.
40:23
So if we read through that text in more general way, the public really
40:30
don't understand what all this is about, and they need to be properly educated
40:36
and convinced the government's got their best interests at heart. But unfortunately the public
40:40
not quite bright enough to understand what's going on. And if we bring in
40:45
a little bit of commentary from the political scene, we've got Louise High here,
40:52
MP, Labour Shadow Transport Secretary. She said the publication of this LTN
40:58
guidance was a blatant and desperate attempt to distract people from a government that has
41:04
quote run out of road. Well okay, little bit of a joke there,
41:08
But what interests us is that if we go back to twenty thirteen and
41:15
we just bring that in on screen, we've got Nicholas Bowls, MP,
41:20
who was quoted at that time in the Guardian and elsewhere that the Prime Minister
41:24
and his deputy Nick Klegg, wants their people power revolution to unleash chaotic effects
41:31
across local communities. He said, chaotic. Therefore, in our vocabulary he's
41:37
talking about the Conservatives is a good thing. And if we bring in his
41:43
fellow colleague here, Danny Krueger. So Danny was a one time advisor and
41:49
he was forced to resign as a Tory candidate for Sedgefield after he was quoted
41:53
as saying that the Conservatives plan to introduce a period of creative discruction in the
42:00
public services. Now, I'm going to say, if we look out of
42:05
the window, what's happening in our public services. We're absolutely seeing breakdown everywhere
42:12
we look. Break down in education, breakdown in the budgetary system, break
42:16
down in road repairs, breakdown in social services and health. This is not
42:22
accidental. This is planned. And these men were warning and warning what was
42:28
actually going to come. So if we bring in Eric Pickles, because at
42:31
the time he was the local government secretary, he didn't leave any doubt about
42:37
what the Conservatives were going to do. He said, we're going to shake
42:40
up the balance of power in this country. We're going to change the nature
42:45
of the constitution being no doubt about our commitment to localism. I know I
42:51
look like an unlikely revolutionary, but the revolution starts here. So I'll have
42:57
a question forew in a minute Alex on this one. But I'm also going
43:00
to add what was being released around the same time was information talking about both
43:07
Labor and the Conservatives, using the work of activist and revolutionary Saul Olyinsky.
43:15
So this was a report on labor, was talking about what labor was doing,
43:20
and it was also pointing out that the philosophy at the political action was
43:25
theorized by American activists Saul Olinsky in the nineteen thirties. So what was Saul
43:31
Olinsky? Well, he was a radical, He wanted major change in society.
43:37
He was very happy to praise Lucifer and this is the agenda that both
43:42
political parties are now introducing into the UK. Let's have a look at the
43:46
Conservatives because they were also labeled in this exposure of what was happening. And
43:53
here at the bottom we can see that for the Conservatives they were using Saul
43:59
Olinsky and Paolo Freere. So what was this about, Well, it was
44:05
about changing the organization of basic society using community groups in order to destabilize and
44:15
bring in a turbulence through which the main globalist policy could appear. And if
44:22
we bring Saul Olinsky's book on screen here, it is Saul Olinsky's Rules for
44:25
Radicals. You can get this quite easily as a PDF. And I think
44:30
most people will be shocked at the viewpoints expressed in this book. So Alex
44:37
very very quickly to me, it's no accident that we've got this k or
44:42
unleashed in our society, because this is the smoke screen through which the main
44:47
globalist policies are going to come. Quite so, Brian, It's not just
44:52
in the modern era with Marxism revolutionary spirit that this has been said. It's
45:00
been the main criticism leveled at such thinking down the ages, ancient gnosticism and
45:05
onwards, that this thinking centers around must destroy with no idea of what to
45:10
rebuild next. Many Alinskyites in Britain, America and elsewhere will openly say,
45:16
to heck with what comes next. What's important first is to tear down.
45:21
If you want a two word summary by the masterful James Lindsay. Lindsay with
45:24
an ay previously interviewed by UK column and many good talks of his on YouTube.
45:30
A two word summary by him. I would say, the world expert
45:32
speaker now on the problem of Alinskyites agitation, it is that it stops at
45:37
the utterance, not that whatever I see in culture, in history, in
45:44
government, not that mustn't have any religion, mustn't have any morals. To
45:47
hell with it all. And this is now coming through the Conservatives. It's
45:51
blue Marxism. And I'm starting to say to people lately that blue Marxism from
45:54
the Conservatives turns out to be more potent than its Red Marxist cousin. Okay,
46:00
thank you for that, Alex Well. We can discuss more on that
46:04
subject in UK column Extra Mork, let's bring you back in because what have
46:09
we got to say on constitutional rights and Brian the missing constitutional right? This
46:19
coming Wednesday, March twentieth, and I'm signed up to cover this virtually for
46:22
UK column. It's being presented by the Brenton excuse me, the Brennan Center
46:29
for Justice at New York University at Washington d C. New York University has
46:34
a branch at Washington, d C. It's being presented by Richard L.
46:37
Hazen and Wilfred you Codrington the third and that they're shown in the slide there.
46:45
Again, I'll be covering this. This is just a preview of what's
46:47
going to be coming up on my report next week. The John Bradham Center
46:52
at New York University is also involved in this. Inspired by its founder,
46:57
the former Congressman and NYU President em Arinus of the John Bradamath Center of New
47:02
York University pursues a collection of initiatives in the areas the state of Congress and
47:07
the legislative process and democracies, the shifting dynamics and foreign policy and international affairs,
47:14
and the present state and future prospects for higher education, etc. Art
47:17
and culture is involved. It formed the core of John Bradamus's life in public
47:22
service, and we'll go on from there. With a growing reputation as a
47:29
home for informed and civil debate and politics, public policy, and other major
47:32
issues facing the nation and the global community. The NYU Bradamus Center, in
47:38
conjunction with the Brennan Outfit, undertakes programs at NYUS campuses in New York and
47:44
DC and increasingly around NYU's global network. That's just some general background, but
47:51
the missing Constitutional Right, and that's the program I'll be covering Wednesday. It
47:57
says the right to vote is one of the foundations of democ we see,
48:00
yet in the United States it's never been truly available to all. Generations have
48:05
seen different versions of the same conflict, disenfranchised groups of people fighting for their
48:10
right to cast about it. Today, this struggle continues with attempts to prohibit
48:15
some Americans from voting, such as those with criminal convictions, and deter others
48:22
from voting, such as minority groups. But what this is really about is
48:27
whether voting should actually be a constitutional right enshrined in the US Constitution itself.
48:35
Many would argue that that's redundant and unnecessary. Anyway, the author Richard Hazen
48:40
is going to argue Wednesday, as he does in his new book A Real
48:45
Right to Vote, that a constitutional amendment to the US Constitution would end the
48:51
fight supposedly over the franchise of voting. But could it be that simple?
48:55
Hazen is asking, and perhaps more importantly, is the way to overcome the
49:00
politics of voter suppression and to convince both parties to enshrine this right for everyone.
49:07
Well, the real problem here, gentlemen, is that the US Constitution
49:12
already presupposes that you have a basic right to vote. It provides the basic
49:19
provision that we elect a member of Congress every two years, and that the
49:24
congressional districts are based on population. And originally the US states were supposed to
49:31
appoint the US Senators. The Constitution was amended to with the seventeenth Amendment to
49:37
allow popular election of US Senators, which many argue is a grave mistake that
49:44
it created a hornets nest for more fraud in elections and made getting elected to
49:51
the Senate more about money than about policy. And then the president was always
49:57
supposed to be a mixed bag of the electoral colleg and some popular vote.
50:01
In my opinion, this is a surreptitious way to try and get at the
50:06
electoral college and winno it down even more, or maybe even try and get
50:09
rid of it. That's my view of what's going on here. We'll see
50:14
how things bear out. But basically, the Constitution already, many would argue,
50:20
provides for this, and this looks like a radical way to try and
50:23
alter the Constitution, and it basically ignores the problems with vote counting and puts
50:30
all the onus on voting rights. And vote casting. So as the slide
50:35
indicates that'll be this coming Wednesday at three pm, I'll be covering it virtually
50:42
for UK column and I'll have more on this next week. But it sounds
50:45
like something revolutionary is afoot and we just need to sniff it out. Okay,
50:52
Mark, thank you very much for that. You've got an image on
50:55
screen here. Oh yeah, I was adjusting for some of the time.
51:01
But John Bradamus is the namesake of the Bradamus Center at New York University.
51:08
And he was an American politician and educator originally from Indiana. A congressman that
51:15
represented Indiana's third district. He was a majority whip for the US House of
51:19
Reps for the Democratic Party from nineteen seventy seven to nineteen eighty one, at
51:23
the conclusion of his twenty year career as a congressman. And a quick personal
51:28
footnote is I knew a lot of members in Northern Indiana a few years ago
51:32
with the John Birch Society, and they saw this thirteenth president of New York
51:38
University, and they when he was a congressman. Actually, the Birch Society
51:44
worked very hard to get him ousted from his congressional seat, and they were
51:47
very active at that time, and they claimed to have been successful in shortening
51:53
his congressional career. So he was a very controversial figure. Mister Bradamus.
52:00
Okay, Mark, thank you very much for that. Well, Alex,
52:01
let's bring you back in. If America is a teetering democracy, does it
52:07
get any better in Germany? It gets a lot worse in Germany, and
52:12
precisely because of this federal and state level agency for the Protection of the Constitution,
52:17
the things that Mark was telling us about a moment ago. We must
52:22
have democracy. There ain't no other way. It's very bad to say that
52:24
democracy is not the best system. Things that have been virtually outlawed without legislation
52:30
my His Majesty's government in the past weeks and months, they've really hit with
52:35
a vengeance in Germany because this goes back decades earlier, because of Germany's unique
52:38
history in the matter. Junger Freiheit is the magazine, i would say,
52:44
the premier conservative and constitutionalist publication in Germany which has carried this title, which
52:51
turned out to be far and away the most read thing they've ever published.
52:54
So the byline above the headline is a schoolgirl sixteen. That was in the
53:00
headline schoolgirl marched away, frog marched out of education. That detail is now
53:06
controversial, as I may get to. And then the main headline quotation from
53:09
her mother, what was done to my daughter is something I wouldn't have thought
53:14
possible. What is this all about? Well, the detail for those who
53:19
speak German is best summarized in contrast fuk's flagship Sunday format with Workard Miller Ulrich
53:27
desontags Runde Contra Funk is based in Germany and Switzerland and has on Austrian branch
53:31
as well. But I'll give the long and the short of it here.
53:36
So we have a young lady who a couple of months ago hosted a couple
53:42
of TikTok videos. One of them said that Germany and the Smurfs have something
53:47
in common. She said, they're both blue. Now blues, you may
53:52
recall, if you've seen my recent presentations of electoral polling in this particularly Eastern
53:58
Germany, is the color of the ALTERNATIVEA for Deutschland party, which is known
54:02
north of the twenty percent support barrier, sending the authorities scuttling in panic in
54:07
those eastern German states now where this happened, this frog marching was in fact
54:14
at the top of Eastern Germany and a small town which is right on the
54:20
Baltic coast and in a very conservative area, which survived the worst of being
54:23
in the Eastern German East German system. So this has shocked the locals.
54:30
So that was the first thing that came to the authorities attention about this young
54:32
lady, and for that reason, this contra funk episode has been subtitled starts
54:38
shoots, re levanter Schlumpffer or smurfs of interest to Homeland Security. Now,
54:45
the second post which the young lady made was that she said, Deutschland is
54:50
kind of ought zonden Heimat, Germany isn't a place on the map. It
54:54
is a home country or a home or a homeland. Any of those is
54:57
a valid translation for Heimat is a German term for where you feel at home.
55:00
These two statements were decided by the State Police of Mecklenburg for Pomona and
55:07
particularly the counter terrorism people, the for Fossum shuts to be what they call
55:12
fair Fasum's findly inimical to the constitution, not fair Fazum's vidrich or unconstitutional but
55:19
they used this term which only appears once or twice in the German penal code,
55:22
and then only with reference to the display of Nazi symbology. So they
55:25
invented it out of whole cloth, that there was such a thing as starts
55:30
Fussum's finally inhalt or content online inimical to the constitution. And here's the way
55:37
it gets nasty. The head master of the school and the police, when
55:42
asked by hum of Freiheight and others about this, say oh no, she
55:45
wasn't frog marched out, No, no, not at all. The police
55:47
simply stood at the door of the chemistry classroom and the headmaster called her out
55:51
to have a word with the police. So the police were justice courting the
55:53
headmaster. You see, every detail has been lied and about until they're blue
55:58
in the face. The kind of protocol the young lady was given, which
56:02
is called a keeferda ansbacher or a formal caution that one is a risk or
56:07
at risk, isn't part of Mecklenburg for common state law. It is in
56:09
other states like Lower Saxony and where it is on the statute books. You
56:14
must, of course, as a minor citizen, have a parent or guardian
56:16
with you, which she didn't. What she was told is for your own
56:20
safety. Where have we heard that before? You must stop posting this content
56:23
innimicals of the constitution. We don't have a time for a long constitutional discussion.
56:28
But constitutions bind our governments. And this isn't just an abstract philosophical point.
56:32
When you get to a supranational body like the EU, there are all
56:37
kinds of other checks and balances supposedly in the system, precisely because these bodies
56:40
combined the individual right. So state bodies trying to say the Constitution applies to
56:45
you as an individual is absolutely expressly rejected by Western countries as part of their
56:51
model, nowhere more so than in Germany because of their history. So these
56:54
people are acting off the cuff. When the interior ministry of the state was
56:59
asked what they'd done, one of the things that happened was that the interior
57:01
minister said, and that's called I called Christoph Pegel. I am quite convinced
57:06
that what was done was proportionate. So that's how useful the tech proportionality test
57:09
is. It's completely subjective. Another thing was that the police who had from
57:15
marched the girl through the school turned round to Jung of Freiheit, the magazine
57:19
that broke the story, and said, this girl is a vulnerable miner.
57:22
You shouldn't be reporting on her because she's vulnerable because of her age. The
57:28
discussion that was done on contra Funk about this included the detail that in the
57:31
neighboring states of Brandenburg, also an AfD leaning state in eastern Germany, they
57:37
now have systematic political loyalty tests for state employees for civil servants. The rebuttal
57:44
by the nord Deutsche's rout from the state funded media at that part of Germany
57:49
was so one sided a defense of the state authorities that they even described right
57:52
wing organs as having alleged that the police removed the young lady from classes,
58:00
and also the Interior Ministry tacitly admitted that there was trauma in the school by
58:04
replying to journalists no time was their need for educational psychological support at this school
58:08
after the incident. So we'll now bring on screen Remix News which is very
58:13
good on Germany and Central Europe. They have German team pulled out a classroom
58:16
and questioned by police for tiktop posts stating Germany as her home. In the
58:21
German original, she didn't even say that, although the text didn't say that,
58:23
it just said it is a home for people. And look at this
58:27
detail. When the mother questioned the school principle or a headmaster and said,
58:30
why don't you contact me first, or indeed have a word with my daughter
58:31
first, if you think that's problem with my daughter, he quotes told me
58:36
that he wasn't allowed to do ze. He was told to inform the police
58:38
immediately. This man is reportedly young and a vessy, so he's drafted in
58:44
from Aachen on the Dutch border, very liberal German city. So that seems
58:49
to be part of the problem that because of his generation, background and mindset,
58:52
he thinks that anything that comes from the Interior Ministry or the Education Ministry,
58:55
including as we reported recently, we must crack down on a FD no
59:00
matter how innocuous. He thinks that's law. He doesn't see that the judiciary
59:04
and the parliament have a rule role in government. Everything comes straight from the
59:07
executive in these people's minds. The discussion on Contra Foond majored on this that
59:12
this was an exemplary modern headmaster by Nancy Faser's terms at the Interroman Interior Ministry,
59:17
although as a federal states no, she shouldn't be fiddling with individual states
59:22
education systems. But he's obeying what orders he's hearing from the top, which
59:25
is that AfD are the enemy. So the long and the short of it
59:30
was that they are protecting these new kind of headmasters are protecting the state and
59:34
do not see any duty of care either to the pupils or duty of candor
59:37
to their parents. I suppose I would ask, with a lot of this
59:40
stuff going on in Britain, now, is it the case that a lot
59:45
of headmasters in Britain think the same way that they're there for the state.
59:47
So what's happened this morning? And updates that we've got. I think this
59:52
is the very same high school in the Ribnitz, but I can't confirm yet.
59:54
Some activists have put up this banner Heimach liberist kind febre it's not a
1:00:00
crime to love your home country. And the most fifthy discussion of what of
1:00:07
aphorism about this phrase? As I heard in the radio show, there was
1:00:10
inclinent psyche sich dust crosser. Little things show us which way the wind is
1:00:15
blowing? If you think this is just a German problem, well to look
1:00:21
at our prevent coverage, especially Debie's recent interview Prevented Education here on ukkon dot
1:00:25
org. And look at this also from Massachusetts, not even the Waco coastal
1:00:30
part of Massachusetts, but deep into western Massachusetts on the Connecticut state line,
1:00:35
which is the part that's supposed to mirror Middle America and be a placid backwater.
1:00:38
Six eighth graders. That's thirteen year olds facing criminal charges. Again,
1:00:44
a jumped up district attorney, a state prosecutor thinking that he can do this.
1:00:49
And if you follow the link on the next page here, Litoria,
1:00:54
you will the first link in that page will take you to a very swaggering
1:01:00
by the district attorney in question, mister Guluni, simply saying these thirteen year
1:01:04
olds in a private chat saying the nasty things about black people were infringing the
1:01:08
civil rights of people and that's a crime. That the crime is threatening threatening
1:01:15
to commit a crime. That's what they've been charged with, although there was
1:01:17
no direct speech to these people, and we don't know that what the threats
1:01:21
are a very politicized da so you know it's happening even in the one country
1:01:25
in the world, the USA, where you constitutionally cannot get the idea of
1:01:30
hate speech, well, at least you can't federally, but the states and
1:01:32
the counties and the district are now trying, Alex, thank you very much
1:01:37
for that. Some really serious matters there. We'll bring some of that discussion
1:01:43
into extra time. And Mark, I'm going to say to you, we'll
1:01:45
also bring your World Health Organization section into extra time. So Alex, just
1:01:52
take us out close today's news with your little report on the constituency results over
1:02:00
there in No Island, only a few days ago, voted no in kind
1:02:07
of two thirds level majorities to two proposed amendments to the Irish Constitution, but
1:02:12
not an adherent that the government had been cheerleading four together with the state funded
1:02:15
media RTE, and the questions were should we get rid of the constitutional article
1:02:22
which says that it doesn't say a woman's place is in the home as it
1:02:25
was often presented as saying. It was saying that because we as a state
1:02:30
cannot function without women's duties in the home, we will not jeopardize women's role
1:02:35
in the home. And the second votes which also was embarrassingly for the government
1:02:40
to overturned, was should we redefine marriage so that it's not the basis of
1:02:45
the family, but that any so called durable relationship never been tested in jurisprudence,
1:02:50
that that would be the basis, and the Irish people were canny enough
1:02:53
to see through that. Except if we put that back on screen in the
1:02:57
one constituency in the bottom corner of County Dublin in the inset there, that's
1:03:00
the constituency of dun Leary report where many people may have entered Ireland from everywhere
1:03:06
else in the country, including everywhere in County Dublin other than dun Leary.
1:03:08
Said no, okay, Alex, thank you very much for that. Well,
1:03:13
I'm just going to end by echoing a comment that somebody made during today's
1:03:19
news in our chat box, and they said, has the system become worse
1:03:22
or has the veil been lifted. I'm going to say no, the system
1:03:28
is getting worse and the veil is being lifted. So two things are happenings
1:03:35
simultaneously. The system is getting worse, it's accelerating, but also the veil
1:03:40
is coming off. And remember that whilst we can still speak, we need
1:03:45
to do everything we possibly can to lift the rocks and show what's really happening,
1:03:52
because if we lose free speech, as Alex has been indicating in particular,
1:03:59
then we will see be unable to fight. So it's up to all
1:04:01
of us UK Column. It's also up to our audience get out there,
1:04:06
get speaking up and point out the things which are clearly wrong. We'll end
1:04:13
there. Thanks very much for joining us for today's news. If you're a
1:04:16
member, please do stay with us for another few minutes and we'll be running
1:04:23
UK Column Extra to talk about more of today's news in more detail. We'll
1:04:29
see you then, Thanks very much, Bye bye
