1 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,000 Good afternoon, today is Monday the 1st of September 2025, just 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,200 after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News. 3 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,640 I'm your host Brian Gerrish, delighted to have Ben Rubin with 4 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,760 me in the studio and we're also joined by Diane Rasmussen. 5 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,360 Caddy live link from the North East of England. 6 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,560 Well, we'll say a busy weekend for many people and the issue of 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,560 the national flag, the flag of Saint George painted on 8 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,080 roundabouts was evident across the country. 9 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,600 I'll say straight away that I was in the Swindon, Chippenham 10 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,280 area and I certainly saw a lot of flags. 11 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,720 So there was a lot of people out and about. 12 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,200 Before we come to you, Ben, we also want to point out that 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,480 across the country at the moment we are seeing an undertone of 14 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,560 the growth of the military industrial complex. 15 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,800 So are we becoming a more militarised state? 16 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,640 I believe we are. Much of that, of course, being 17 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,760 done by stealth. We're also going to be having a 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,160 look at education and the way that is being skewed and biassed 19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,880 by sustainable development goals. 20 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,760 And of course, with education comes the subject of libraries, 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360 which are increasingly being used to take control of the 22 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,840 minds of youngsters. But on top of that, we'll be 23 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,360 ending today's news with a look at our recent attendance at the 24 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,920 Hope Festival, where an amazing group of people were trying to 25 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,760 do something very different. And we thought this was so good 26 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,960 that we are bringing it into today's news just to have a look 27 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:51,280 at how people can get together not only to inform each other 28 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400 and teach each other about what's going on, but to bring 29 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,440 some strength in order to stand up and counter this really 30 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,760 appalling orchestrated change in UK society. 31 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,000 Well, Ben, over to you. Flag Force I think is the 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,720 subject. Flag force, indeed. 33 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,039 Yes, and great to be here, everyone. 34 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,880 It's September, back to school, Christmas just round the corner 35 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,880 and all of that. And it's been quite amazing 36 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,320 actually, to see the whole flag thing unfold, or unfurl, should 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,520 I say, over the past few weeks. I'll just tee this up by saying 38 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,320 that my grandmother on the the maternal side, my mother's 39 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,760 mother was Norwegian. And if you go to Norway, there 40 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,080 are flags everywhere. Norwegian flags in every house, 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,680 every back garden. People wear them on their 42 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,640 clothes on the back of every boat on the river and I actually 43 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,360 see this as a very positive thing. 44 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,760 I've quite enjoyed seeing the flags going up around Plymouth 45 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,240 over the past few days. I don't think it necessarily has 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,640 to be this antagonistic and awful thing. 47 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,320 You mentioned the roundabouts where they've been going up in 48 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,320 in their droves on lampposts and on people's cars and and back 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,320 gardens. This still video here from 50 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,760 Lincoln sometime over the weekend. 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,120 And as I say, I don't think this has to be a particularly 52 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,720 negative thing, but we are also seeing the flag become a 53 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,720 flashpoint in some ways for racial abuse. 54 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,400 And also the escalating tensions that we're seeing even violence 55 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,920 happening across the country coming from both sides, I should 56 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,560 say, because actually we've seen people putting flags up being 57 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,040 attacked, as well as people flying flags attacking other 58 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,280 groups. And I think that this is 59 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,800 completely unacceptable. And I guess the question that I 60 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:39,760 have is whether this recent wave of flag raising is an organic 61 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,640 outpouring of nationalistic fervour or if there is a hidden 62 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,520 hand operating in the background trying to turn something that's 63 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,240 potentially positive into something nefarious. 64 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,480 Let's have a little listen to Joseph Moulton, the founder of 65 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,880 Flag Force UK, talking to GB News a couple of weeks ago. 66 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,080 It. Was really kind of accidentally, 67 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,400 it's kind of blown up the way it has. 68 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880 A few weeks ago, a few friends of ours were kind of looking and 69 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,840 seeing what's kind of going on in Birmingham and elsewhere. 70 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,200 We thought, you know, displaying the flags of our local areas. 71 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,280 We had the England flags and the Yorkshire flags. 72 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,920 We just thought kind of spruced up the area a little bit. 73 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,959 We just did one St didn't think any more of it. 74 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,000 Until around kind of 10 days ago, we saw on the local 75 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,040 Facebook group that everybody loved it and people were asking 76 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,640 for more. So it kind of said, well, we've 77 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,600 got a big bit of a mandate here. And it was kind of really 78 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,000 bringing the community together in a way that we don't really 79 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,600 see in York. It's fairly fairly quiet. 80 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,400 In that sense, so we began putting more up. 81 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,280 We had a lot of people reach out to us to get involved. 82 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,880 Since then we've alongside that we've been doing litter picking 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,720 collections for the food bank. We're really trying to turn it 84 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,680 into a kind of grassroots community organisation that's 85 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,840 taken a bit more responsibility in the local area, you know, 86 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,520 picking up from the failures of the council and also the 87 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,720 national government. Are you concerned that the civic 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,400 pride that you're bringing back putting up these flags could be 89 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,520 opposed by local authorities? Well, if it is, it'll only. 90 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,920 Galvanised people. I feel like people always want a 91 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,600 cause and, you know, the establishment isn't appealing to 92 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,680 people. You know, you say get involved 93 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,640 with the council, but you know, and the council's there if 94 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,760 you've got feedback, but you never see them knocking on 95 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,400 doors, You don't see them in your local places, right? 96 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Because they're not welcome. And also they're just not 97 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,120 completely out of touch with what's going on. 98 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,200 So I think all that will happen is just drive more people to the 99 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,760 cause and it's going to completely backfire on them. 100 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,280 He seems like a nice chap, doesn't he? 101 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,880 He does seem like like a nice chap question in our chat boxes. 102 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,160 Who does he work for? Well, that is a very good 103 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,160 question, absolutely. So he's talking here about a, a 104 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,960 grassroots movement that has a mandate now and it's fulfilling 105 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,080 an important civic purpose. They're also doing good things 106 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,480 like litter picking, helping out with food banks, filling in the 107 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,320 gaps of council services. Essentially, that's what he's 108 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,800 saying is going on here, right? And let's be clear there. 109 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,520 There are issues with what local councils are doing. 110 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,600 Whether this guy is going to step into the breach or not, I 111 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,440 don't know. But that was Joseph Moulton. 112 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,560 You can see him there talking to GB News, probably the most 113 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,000 popular UK news broadcaster. So he's been elevated into quite 114 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,960 a significant position and he runs this organisation, Flag 115 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,120 Force, which has basically come out of nowhere in the past 116 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,000 month. So their Twitter profile, which 117 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,480 we'll put a link to, is now got 18,000 followers. 118 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,760 It's only been set up in the past four weeks. 119 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,480 And this is their website. You can see they're tracking 120 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,560 flags put up by local patriots across the country. 121 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,320 And there's an invitation to join the U KS Premier Community 122 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,960 Network tracking the flag raisings across the nation. 123 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,160 Discover, document and celebrate the flags that unite our 124 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,240 communities. This is essentially an 125 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,440 intelligence gathering operation, right? 126 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,320 They've got a map you can see here, which I'm guessing this is 127 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,800 a glitch because there's there's a flag over in Latvia. 128 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,960 I'm not in a bunch in the North Sea as well, but anyway, they're 129 00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:00,000 all over the UK from York where he's based to the Wirral down in 130 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,480 the left hand side there Shrewsbury all over the country. 131 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,000 And of course Joseph Moulton is just a normal fella down the pub 132 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,720 worried about his country putting up flags. 133 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520 And what this shows is that people are unhappy. 134 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,920 But who is he? Where does he come from? 135 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,960 Because if we actually look at him, his background, well, first 136 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,400 of all, it's not a lot about him online. 137 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,720 He's actually very difficult to find out significant historical 138 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,960 information about. If we go to his LinkedIn 139 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,920 profile, we can see that he is a professional creating and 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,160 providing tech solutions in emerging markets while also 141 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,760 working to shape policy and decision making. 142 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,040 Tech, defence, green economy and supply chain. 143 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,840 This is all. Six in the box a lot. 144 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,720 Of a lot of enforced industrial revolution stuff there a lot of 145 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,080 globalist stuff to be honest with you. 146 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,720 And this also, let's have a little look at this picture 147 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,920 behind me. That's a big weapon, isn't it? 148 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,800 And I don't mean him in the foreground either. 149 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,920 And then he's currently working in these two organisations. 150 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,320 So this thing called Iberian Group, which is apparently a 151 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,080 specialist firm providing tech solutions in defence, green 152 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,760 economy, economy and supply chain. 153 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Nothing on its website, very little about this organisation. 154 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,080 And then the, the main one which I found the information about is 155 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,480 this Geo Capita at the top there, which is also the founder 156 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,880 and editor of. And essentially it says that he 157 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,679 consults for several Fortune 500 companies and state actors in 158 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,679 the defence and supply chain sectors, while also personally 159 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,559 investing in the green economy and drone developments. 160 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,760 You know, so this is advanced warfare stuff, you know, 161 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,360 absolutely, as you've just been talking about, Brian, the 162 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,800 miniaturisation of the UK, this guy's sitting right in in the 163 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,920 mix of it. And it also says that he spent 164 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,960 time in over 60 countries, including complex environments 165 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,200 such as Ukraine and Libya. And these are the articles that 166 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,360 he's publishing on the website. So he's looking at the could we 167 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480 see the first nuclear armed resource war talking about the 168 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,960 rise of the Chinese green dragon and flag force. 169 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,520 UK is actually currently promoting what amounts to the 170 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,240 Ulsterisation of the country. So this is something that I just 171 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,440 picked up from the the social media this morning. 172 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,840 Mural maxed, Ulsterised near future Britain aesthetics as 173 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,680 they're promoting what amounts to sectarianism. 174 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,680 Multi generational tribal conflicts overseen by a heavy 175 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,960 handed and fully militarised police state with extraordinary 176 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,560 powers of surveillance and detention. 177 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:39,480 I think that's what's been happening in Northern Ireland 178 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,960 for. A long time for a long. 179 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,080 Time and this seems to be the direction of travel that this 180 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,800 guy, this organisation has been put front and centre as being 181 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520 involved in this wants us to be heading here. 182 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,000 And I think this is an extraordinarily dangerous 183 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,840 direction for us to be going in. I will note though on a positive 184 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,200 note that the the the multi ethnic brothers and sisters 185 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,400 around the UK have got wise to this. 186 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,880 And this is a post from a Birmingham Muslim Facebook group 187 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,240 which came up over the weekend which says strong reminder to 188 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,800 all brothers in this group, do not take down England flags, do 189 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040 not fight with anyone putting up England flags. 190 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,120 If anything help them. If anything put them up on Alan 191 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,320 Rock Rd, Stratford Rd etcetera in Birmingham as this will show 192 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,480 unity among the working classes in the UK, white and brown. 193 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,400 This is important, this is what we need. 194 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,760 This is a great reaction, carry on. 195 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,120 It says this is an astroturfing campaign by Zionist think tanks. 196 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,480 Certainly a think tank. I don't know if he's a Zionist 197 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,000 but he's in the mix. That that seems clear to me. 198 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,200 Who are unhappy with Palestine flags being thrown in the UK. 199 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,160 They're pushing for England flags to be hung up and waiting 200 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,560 for the video which shows Asians fighting whites over the England 201 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,200 flag. Do not fall for it. 202 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,000 They want to create a race war using flags as the symbology to 203 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,200 rally more racist. Remember they are itching for a 204 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360 fight over flags to trigger the next riots. 205 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,120 Obviously leading into the big Zionist nationalist event 206 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,960 organised by Tommy Robinson in London coming up on the 13th of 207 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,840 September. You know, so read between the 208 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,360 lines on this one. Not necessarily a bad thing, but 209 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400 don't let this get dragged in the wrong direction. 210 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,320 And I should just finish up by saying thank you to this X 211 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,720 account. Get a grip, Doc Russ Jackson, 212 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,920 who did a great piece of research that I've borrowed from 213 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,800 which you should go and have a look at yourself. 214 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,360 So yeah, more to come. Brilliant. 215 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,520 Thank. Thank you for that, Ben. 216 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,640 And of course, the key bit is that that everybody should be 217 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,200 proud of their national flag. Of course many of us are not 218 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,240 because of of what's being done in the name of of our country, 219 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,640 but the base level, everybody should be proud. 220 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,560 And of course we go to other countries like the US or Norway, 221 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:51,320 you've just mentioned people are proud to fly their national 222 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,120 flag. So something very, very devious 223 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,960 is happening here, and it clearly seems to be to capture 224 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,920 the mood around patriotism and then to use that as the catalyst 225 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,480 to create trouble on the streets. 226 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,000 And of course, if there's violence on the streets, then 227 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,720 the state and all it's brutal machinery is the only thing that 228 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,800 wins. But I was fascinated there, Ben, 229 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,920 that we're talking about that man seemingly pinned against 230 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,760 what appears to be a big chunk of the military industrial 231 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,080 complex. Well, what's the papers talking 232 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,680 about at the moment? I have to bring up the Daily 233 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:32,040 Telegraph because it's one of the big boys newspaper of 234 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,960 record. But here's the headline. 235 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,920 Queen fought of sex attacker. And apparently this is a story 236 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,800 that the whole nation should be paying attention to. 237 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480 Of course, it's an allegation. It was something that happened 238 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,280 when she was young. What has she done since to 239 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,160 protect people against sex attackers or children being 240 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,560 abused in the care homes? I've no idea, but the Taylor 241 00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,840 Telegraph put it as the main page. 242 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,720 But of course the key headline was this bit up here. 243 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,320 Doctor Destroyer, that sums up our sinking Navy and we'll get 244 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,240 into what they're talking about. But first of all, let's have a 245 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,240 look at at what Defence HQ, the government's propaganda machine 246 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,840 in UK, what it's talking about in relation to the world and the 247 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,880 wars. Let's have a listen to Alastair. 248 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,200 Here in Kiev on Ukrainian Independence Day, with a very 249 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,680 simple message, the UK stands with you in this fight and is 250 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,320 securing a just and lasting peace. 251 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,760 The Ukrainians have shown incredible strength in this 252 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,400 conflict, a strength I've seen meeting some of the veterans of 253 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,080 the war. Veterans just like our own, act 254 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,400 as an inspiration for not only the nation here, but serving 255 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,240 personnel in the UK. We're working closely with the 256 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,200 US, Ukraine and the coalition of willing partners to bring about 257 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,680 peace, but Ukraine must be central to any negotiations. 258 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,480 President Zelensky's leadership has been utterly amazing. 259 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,240 I. Commend his courage and 260 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,600 leadership as a country moves forward in stark contrast. 261 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,080 Russia has refused to agree to fool ceasefire and stepped up 262 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,280 its tax on Ukrainian people since the US LED peace efforts 263 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,640 have began. Indeed, just 6201 way attack 264 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,880 drones since July. The. 265 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,560 Lasting peace is only possible if we continue to show strength 266 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,320 and provide Ukraine with the support it needs to defend 267 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,440 itself against continued and unabated Russian aggression. 268 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,600 The. UK is completely behind Ukraine 269 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,320 and with our allies we will continue to support you until 270 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,040 you tell us to stop Slava, Ukraine. 271 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,880 So we as we have the issue with the flags around the country, 272 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,840 we've got Defence HQ pumping out propaganda with this very 273 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,200 emotive music. But this MP is in naive 274 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,280 ignorance. I can't work it out. 275 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,040 He may maybe both. Perhaps we should have Zelensky 276 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,320 as Prime Minister to replace Stormer, because of Zelensky of 277 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,080 course is running a country with absolutely no corruption. 278 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,520 People have happy safe lives or not, and I just find it 279 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,280 outrageous that MPs should think that we also naive that we 280 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,920 should fall into the trap of what they're talking about. 281 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,840 Now let's have a look at the Chief of Defence Staff, Radican 282 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,040 beating up with Zelensky a few days ago. 283 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,320 Yeah. How are you? 284 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,400 Yeah, very well, thank you. Thank you for having us. 285 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,800 Welcome. It's my relief the. 286 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,400 New chief of Defence. We're thankful to you, your 287 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,400 country, and to your government and nation for such 288 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,520 strengthening us from the very beginning of this war. 289 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:44,080 And we're thankful to Kir, Prime Minister, for such deep 290 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,520 involvement to do this process and with coalition of villains 291 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,200 and with the support. So thank you so much. 292 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,360 Thank you. The Prime Minister sends his 293 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,800 regards. I did a speech last week. 294 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,840 Where? I had to, I had to name check 295 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,160 every Prime Minister for their support to me over my time four 296 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,720 years as chief of defence. But this is also about 297 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:14,720 introducing Rich and to stress that our support to you and 298 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,000 Ukraine is not personality dependent, it's nation dependent 299 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,680 and Rich will continue that level of support in exactly the 300 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,480 same way that you would expect. Thank you so much. 301 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,680 Well, Ben, I've got to say to you, I found that clip 302 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,520 absolutely outrageous and offensive. 303 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,640 Those two grinning senior officers using a very casual 304 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,040 name of my friend Rich. When you look at Zelensky face 305 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,160 at one point he is smirking, he's laughing at these two 306 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,600 people and well he might because we've got Radikin who can't even 307 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,120 run the Royal Navy in UK and we'll come on to that in a 308 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,800 couple of minutes. And we've also got his relief 309 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,800 there, Chief Marshall Rich Knighton. 310 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,440 Not a pilot, not a navigator, no substance to the man in order to 311 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,319 be head of the Royal Air Force. And yet these are the people 312 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,599 dragging the UK into this awful war in Ukraine. 313 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,119 I'll talk about this more in extra time, but clearly 314 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,720 offensive stuff if we just pop him on screen. 315 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,960 I decided the best way to refer to Radikin was Zelensky's chief 316 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,280 of staff because he's clearly not working for the British 317 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,880 people. How can we prove this? 318 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,840 Well, let's have a look at some of the headlines. 319 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,240 Here's the UK Defence Journal and it's talking about snapshots 320 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,120 of the status of the British fleet. 321 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,840 If we bring in some meat on those bones, they say currently 322 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,200 just over 19% of the Royal Navy's major surface competence 323 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,160 are active or immediately deployable. 324 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,400 If ships in maintenance are included, that figure reaches 325 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,280 around 43%. But of course, if ships are in 326 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,480 maintenance, they are not immediately deployable. 327 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,440 So we're talking about major breakdown. 328 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,120 They go on to say this the Navy is no longer just hollowed out 329 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,120 but holding on, and is now actually incapable of performing 330 00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:21,880 many of the routine tasks it managed until quite until quite 331 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,920 recently. And it says this breakdown is 332 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,880 not the result of losses in combat or even the pressure of 333 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,960 high tempo operations, but as a result there's worth missing 334 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,400 their long term failure. And of course the man 335 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,480 responsible for that failure is Radican himself because he's 336 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,680 been head of the very organisation. 337 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,200 But he is apparently capable of now running the war in Ukraine 338 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,120 when we've used this expression many times on UK column. 339 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:54,840 But sometimes you just can't make this up. 340 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,800 It is so bad and so bizarre. Let's rub this in because here's 341 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,440 the Telegraph. Occasionally they do get off a 342 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,520 bad front pages, but here's the headline. 343 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,640 It's time to be honest with ourselves. 344 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,440 The Royal Navy is broken. And if you get into the meat of 345 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,320 their article, it's going into detail about how the Royal Navy 346 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,320 is broken down, including the first of the six Type 45 347 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,960 destroyers being alongside for 3000 days, a ship that doesn't 348 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,000 work. And of course, many of that 349 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,200 class of ships, the Type 45 having had engine problems so 350 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,760 they can't get to see. But the Telegraph also pointing 351 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,080 out that the recent deployment of our aircraft carrier in 352 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,080 supposedly a task force which should be a very powerful group 353 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,280 of ships, there was no nuclear submarine with them. 354 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,920 This is unprecedented. And what we're looking at is the 355 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,440 MATE is a major breakdown. But if I pull in this one here, 356 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,240 this is taken from the Royal Navy's own website, where it's 357 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,280 almost impossible to see how many few ships we have because 358 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,240 it's full of jazzy hype and moving images. 359 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,160 But here's the Type 45 being labelled as one of the most 360 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,600 advanced warships ever built, presumably so advanced it could 361 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,800 never go to sea. Where is the military going at 362 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,160 the moment? Well, of course, the military is 363 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,760 after the minds of our children, so let's have a look at cadet 364 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,880 recruiting. Here's a fact, there are more 365 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,000 youngsters in the cadet forces than there are soldiers in the 366 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,880 British Army. So in Britain, when you meet 367 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,800 someone in uniform, chances are it'll be a cadet rather than a 368 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,440 soldier. And that's only set to increase, 369 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,480 with the government pledging a 30% rise in cadet participation, 370 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,960 setting itself a more ambitious target than for recruitment in 371 00:20:52,960 --> 00:21:00,760 the armed forces. So Defence HQ criticising Putin 372 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,040 for going into the schools and recruiting in Russia, but here 373 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,880 we are boasting that we've now got more cadets than members of 374 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,320 the army itself, which is around 78,000. 375 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,920 So what what is this? A mild version of Hitler Youth 376 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,000 which is coming in in order to provide the bodies for the 377 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,360 future wars? Dangerous stuff. 378 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,000 But let's look at a second video clip from Defence HQ when 379 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,080 effectively they're pulling on the heartstrings of the public 380 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,160 in relation to Ukraine. We. 381 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,160 Just want to do everything that we can to help the people of 382 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:40,640 Ukraine. Hello. 383 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,200 Hi there and I'm Jane and between us, together with all 384 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:51,840 our efforts, we've raised £15,000 to help with support for 385 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:57,800 Ukraine. The money we raised has all gone 386 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:04,840 to Ukraine in the form of equipment, boots, warm clothing, 387 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,760 sleeping bags, first aid kits for Starlink subscriptions, 388 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,600 whatever is needed. I'm William Cook and I'm the 389 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,920 Director of Cook Defence Systems based here in County Durham. 390 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,840 We're proud to have delivered new tracks to allow over 500 391 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,560 Ukrainian armoured fighting vehicles to be returned to the 392 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,440 front line. On Operation Interplex we 393 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,040 trained more than 58,000 Ukrainians. 394 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,560 In. Basic combat skills. 395 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,800 It's been a privilege to be able to help and I pray to God that 396 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,680 your country will be independent and free. 397 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,480 We really feel that our operation. 398 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Is having an impact helping Ukraine to? 399 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,600 Repel Russia. It's it's showing that not only 400 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,160 governments support Ukraine, it's showing that civilian 401 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:10,200 people who feel in this, in their heart, that they need, 402 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,400 they want support. Ukraine, whether it's training 403 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,800 soldiers or people like Ann. And Jane raising money for 404 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,400 Ukraine, we really feel the UK support. 405 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,280 It's definitely something we're proud of, but it's not just us. 406 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,800 People up and down the country are all supporting Ukraine in 407 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:37,840 their own way. So I think just terrible that 408 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,960 those ladies, and I'm sure their hearts are in the right place 409 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,960 and they're working very hard for what they believe is the 410 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,440 right 'cause. But of course they're going to 411 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,000 have no knowledge at all about the real causes of the war in 412 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,840 Ukraine and they're going to have no idea about the slaughter 413 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,640 on the battlefields in Ukraine. But the government is going to 414 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,320 use them in the most twisted way in order to try and get its war 415 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,880 agenda through. I found that that one 416 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,240 particularly appalling. But let's just move on. 417 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,000 Sorry, come back on this. Let's just move on very briefly 418 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,520 to this one, which is Rhine Metal in Germany. 419 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,720 The arms manufacturer a couple of years ago got a very big 420 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,800 contract to produce more shells because of course the West was 421 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,160 running out of shells. So their production now online 422 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,880 and those shells are coming into Ukraine to help fuel the war. 423 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,200 But of course this is promoted as being something which is good 424 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,680 for Germany and good for Europe. Here they are heading for an 425 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,600 annual output of around 700,000 rounds. 426 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,680 But in the meantime we've got more going on because we've got 427 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,120 Britain now teaming up with Japan and I found this one very 428 00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:58,120 cynical as well. One minute Healy is holding the 429 00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:01,560 arms of veterans. Of course, many of them or the 430 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,800 few that are left went through horrors fighting the Japanese. 431 00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,960 So he's now cuddling up to the vets. 432 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,800 But what's going on in the background is working with Japan 433 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,720 to get over that embarrassing hump of the death in World War 2 434 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,520 in order that we can team up to what is being described as one 435 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,480 of the closest defence partners we've got in the world. 436 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,840 So more trouble. And of course, this is Asia in 437 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,960 light of their supposed, supposed threats from China. 438 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,200 But we've got a new military deal with Norway, 10 billion. 439 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,840 This is a, this is an order from the Norwegians for frigates from 440 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,240 UK. Why they want to buy from us, I 441 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,080 have no idea. We've already shown the disaster 442 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,280 with the Type 45, but more of the industrial complex. 443 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,960 But when we talk about Israel, John Healey is very, very quiet. 444 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:02,800 He said he's spoken to the Israeli defence minister and 445 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,040 stressed the need for a diplomatic solution to end the 446 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,600 war. I told Israel to stop the war 447 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,720 and giving them the arms to do so is the way I see this, which 448 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,520 is utter hypocrisy. And I'm very pleased to say that 449 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,880 actually on the website itself for Defence HQ, people were 450 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,040 really pushing back about what's being posted. 451 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,440 So here's somebody standing up for people in Gaza who are 452 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,720 having to folks cope with the drones and explosive robots. 453 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,760 And this one caught my eye because whilst the headline is 454 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,480 Israel has the right to cut off food, water and electricity, and 455 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,120 we see Keir Starmer bathed in blood, the actual text is 456 00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:50,400 talking about Israeli Defence Forces sniping. 457 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,080 And I'll just bring people's attention to a discussion I had 458 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,800 with Patrick Henningson last week. 459 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:03,240 This will go out tomorrow at 1:00, but it's us talking about 460 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,480 an excellent, yes, I did say that word, an excellent 461 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,720 documentary by Stephanie Hegarty from BBC World Service, who was 462 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:19,080 examining why children are dying in Gaza as the result of of 463 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,960 gunshot wounds, very young children clearly being killed by 464 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,240 IDF snipers. So we'll be going into that in 465 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,440 more detail, but Diane, let's bring you in. 466 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,680 Apologies there because I've I've overrun slightly there on 467 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,120 my segment, but clearly very important things to talk about a 468 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:44,360 massive change in UK society. This is a fascist partnership 469 00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:48,680 which we're seeing between government and and big business. 470 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,320 And of course, capturing the minds of children and young 471 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,560 people through education in the libraries goes along with this 472 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,200 type of agenda. So Diane, welcome and what have 473 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,600 you got? Yes, thanks Brian. 474 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,120 It's, it's great to be here today and hello to everyone at 475 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,920 home watching and, and everywhere else. 476 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,880 As Ben said at the start of the news, it's back to school time. 477 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,720 It's the 1st of September, which is really hard to believe. 478 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,000 But because Sandy Adams and I have been working together 479 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,960 recently on explaining, looking at how we can explain the 480 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,080 Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030, which are 481 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,120 working together, of course to the public. 482 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,920 And so we want people to understand first of all, what 483 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,840 they say, if you read the documents at face value, and 484 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,200 also what they actually mean. So because it's back to school 485 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,040 time and because I am an educator and a librarian 486 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,920 originally by profession, I thought I would spend some time 487 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,960 today looking at Sustainable Development Goal 4, which is 488 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,200 quality education. So quality education according 489 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,200 to the UN, means ensuring inclusive and equitable quality 490 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,640 education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. 491 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,320 That's what they tell us it means. 492 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,880 And this is again for one of seventeen goals. 493 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,520 But at the same time, what we see is that if you read the 494 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,800 documentation that says that SDG 4 is a very important goal to 495 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,360 make sure that all of the goals happen because we have to 496 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,880 educate people so that they know the right way to behave. 497 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,440 According to the UN. If we look at the 2025 498 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,600 Sustainable Development Goals reports, which I've just got a, 499 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,920 a quick screenshot from one of the infographics from this 500 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,360 report, it says that as we, as I've covered previously, that 501 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,280 the UN admits that they are behind on all the SDGS or in 502 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,120 some cases regressing. And this case, this one is, is 503 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,440 showing, well, of course we don't want children to be out of 504 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,480 school, but that's what they're using to show that that, you 505 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,000 know, they're not talking about what they're actually educating 506 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,240 children to do, which is to be good global citizens. 507 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,360 But of course you at face value, you would want children to be in 508 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,520 school, of course. But how are they doing this? 509 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240 Well, I'm going to be covering this also in my second segment, 510 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,440 which will be later in the news. But here's one example of 1 511 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,880 curriculum provider that is providing materials to children 512 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,840 and and telling teachers what they can be doing. 513 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:12,320 So this is 1 organisation called Raising Global Kittens, KIDIZENS 514 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,720 Kittens Global Citizens and here's a book list for example 515 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800 of picture books that can help that can be used to explain 516 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,800 sustainable development goal for quality education to children. 517 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,200 And here's a video that they have provided on their website 518 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,840 which is meant to be shown to primary school students about 519 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:37,320 SDG 4. Knowledge is the key to open 520 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,880 many doors in life. When we have access to good 521 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,800 quality education, we can use it to become whatever we want. 522 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,600 An astronaut, a chef, a doctor, no matter who we are or where we 523 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,800 live. When we learn new skills and 524 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,120 ideas, our minds grow. And when that happens, we can 525 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,720 invent new things that benefit lots of different people. 526 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,560 Good education is possible when there are enough teachers, when 527 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,280 every student has books and computers and supplies, and when 528 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,680 schools are safe and clean. But not every student has the 529 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,240 same opportunities to learn. In some countries, girls can't 530 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,280 go to school because only boys are allowed to attend. 531 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,120 In others, they have responsibilities at home so they 532 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,320 can't go to school, and in some communities there isn't enough 533 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,640 money to pay for important things like teachers, books and 534 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,240 computers, so the number of students in each class is high. 535 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,120 Meaning not every child gets the education they deserve, but good 536 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,120 people everywhere are working hard to make quality education 537 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,040 accessible to everyone. In Tanzania, 51% of the 538 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,640 population are children, but few attend kindergarten. 539 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,880 So the charity Children in Crossfire is giving parents 540 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,680 learning materials so they can prepare their kids for primary 541 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,000 school at home. In Singapore, government values 542 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,800 teachers very highly, so they are paid well for their work and 543 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,520 given lots of training to become even better. 544 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,720 Together, we can make quality education a reality for 545 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:29,320 everyone, everywhere. So I can imagine people in other 546 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,360 countries seeing this, especially children who don't 547 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,640 understand geopolitics, you know, sort of why they might 548 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,600 want to feel, make them feel guilty about having access to 549 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,280 education if they are, for example, in the UK or the 550 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,800 Western countries. But anyway, Global Kittens 551 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,360 provides this particular colouring page that if you want 552 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,440 to download it, they can colour the SDGS that shows exactly how 553 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,560 to proceed through all of them. And so you can just see over and 554 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,960 over again that these curriculum providers are finding all kinds 555 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,600 of ways to make things appeal to children to kind of get them 556 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,680 afraid about this SDGS and what they need to be doing to save 557 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,200 the planet. I want to remind people as well, 558 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,320 and this is very important, about Julian Huxley, who was the 559 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,000 person who founded UNESCO. I'll get back to him in just a 560 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,160 minute, but think about Julian Huxley being a eugenicist. 561 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,680 And if we actually look now at what Sandy Adams says that SDG 562 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,480 Four really does, we can see the connections, which is the 563 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,440 standard curricula globally to promote the UN approved 564 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,040 ideology, rewrite history, push climate alarmism and identity 565 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,920 politics, create a generation primed for compliance with 566 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,840 techno product norms and ultimately artificial 567 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,760 intelligence driven teaching and assessment, which I saw signs of 568 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,200 before I left the education sector. 569 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,680 Now returning to Julian Huxley, I have a couple of things about 570 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,840 him. First, let's watch this quick 571 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,960 video that summarises the document that he wrote, which 572 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,880 introduced UNESCO and its relation to the United Nations 573 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,680 back in the 1940s. In UNESCO's Purpose and 574 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,720 Philosophy document, Huxley writes, the scientific method 575 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,520 has firmly established itself as the only reliable means by which 576 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,800 we can increase both our knowledge of and control over 577 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,480 objective natural phenomena. Fundamental to his thesis was 578 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,239 the central idea that humankind could guide the process of 579 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,440 evolution consciously. Natural selection was to be 580 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,800 replaced by conscious selection as the motto of evolution, the 581 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,960 possible rate of which was therefore enormously speed up. 582 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,320 Perhaps the most significant of the claims made in this document 583 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:43,840 was the need for UNESCO to promote population control and 584 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,520 the study of the eugenics problem. 585 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,520 It is very curious for Julian Huxley to be destined to drive 586 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,440 men's evolutionary progress when his brother, none other than 587 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,920 Elder Huxley, gave us a brave new world. 588 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,040 So just to follow up that dystopian video, and I want to 589 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,880 just read a couple of quotes from his UNESCO document where 590 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,640 he said the recognition of the idea of an optimum population 591 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,200 size, of course, relative to technological and social 592 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,400 conditions is an indispensable first step towards that planned 593 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,360 control of populations, which is necessary if man's blind 594 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,480 reproductive urges are not to wreck his ideals and his plans 595 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,880 for material and spiritual betterment. 596 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,440 And then on the next slide we can see as well he's saying 597 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,360 that, you know, we need to recognise that this population 598 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,240 control is going to happen and we that we are replacing 599 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:46,920 basically we can't replace the wildlife, but we can look at 600 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,560 what we can do about the problem of mankind. 601 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,120 It is necessary if we are to realise a time that areas must 602 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,480 be set aside where in the ultimate interest of mankind as 603 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,040 a whole, the spread of man must take second place to the 604 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,200 conservation of other species. So now we see we're saving the 605 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,200 planet, we're saving other things, not necessarily saving 606 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,960 mankind. And ultimately, in the 607 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,000 conclusion of this document, he says that what UNESCO must aim 608 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,920 at is not the promotion of a single movement, but the 609 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,240 orchestration of diversity. Diversity. 610 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,120 We hear that word everywhere now, don't we? 611 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,400 The task is to help the emergence of a single world 612 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,040 culture with its own philosophy and background of ideas and with 613 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,560 its own broad purpose. So later on in the news, I will 614 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,520 be coming back to specifically education for Sustainable 615 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,920 development and how libraries are helping to promote SDG 4 to 616 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,200 our children, Brian and Ben. Diane, thank you very much for 617 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,480 that excellent analysis. And of course it's in our faces 618 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,880 now. We're not dealing with policy, 619 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,000 which is national policy coming out of Westminster or 620 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,720 parliaments of other nation states. 621 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,200 We're dealing with the international rules based order 622 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,040 and it's policies for, yes, A1 world system. 623 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,040 And of course, if you're going to have a one world system, the 624 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,640 military and the police have got to be fully integrated in that. 625 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,200 And of course, wars are very good machinery for reducing 626 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,280 those nasty men and women on the planet. 627 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,880 If you want to be deeply cynical about it. 628 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,840 Let's take a break just for a bit and say a huge thank you to 629 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,280 everybody who supports UK column, because we can only do 630 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,840 this with your financial support. 631 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,560 If you're not already a supporter, have a look on the UK 632 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,960 Column web page and you can click the magic button in order 633 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,800 to support us, make a donation or join up for a monthly or 634 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,280 annual membership. Or some people prefer to join us 635 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:54,320 as a lifetime member now. Huge thank you to everybody 636 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,720 who's already signed up for the UK Column on location in York on 637 00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:04,280 the 18th of October. Andrew Wakefield speaking. 638 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,560 We've also mentioned your ability to be able to see 639 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,760 Protocol 7 with this. We've mentioned Tess Laurie as 640 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,400 another speaker. But today I'm going to say Ben, 641 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,600 you will also be speaking to the audience at this event. 642 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,320 And it's really good that we have got auk column speaker 643 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,320 taking part. We've got more speakers to talk 644 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:33,360 about, but I have to say we are now left with just a few 645 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,520 tickets. I think we've got a couple over 646 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,600 80 left. We would like to see you there, 647 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,440 so if you haven't got a ticket yet, please get onto the website 648 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,960 and make a purchase. It's going to be a really 649 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:50,760 wonderful event, superb surroundings and we look forward 650 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:55,760 to seeing you all there. Now, Germ Warfare tonight at 651 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,120 7:00 PM is an interview with Simon Roche. 652 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:05,120 And Diane, you've got some articles that have gone up here 653 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,800 on the UK Column website. You've been kind enough just to 654 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,920 take us through. Yes, just some articles that I 655 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,760 have published in the past week as our commissioning editor for 656 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,080 written content. The first one I'd like to point 657 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,040 out is what we hope will be the first part of a four part series 658 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,000 with Hugh McCarthy, who we've had lots of content from him in 659 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,160 the past. He's a retired head teacher in 660 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,000 Northern Ireland. This is a four part series about 661 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,920 the effects of the the lockdowns and and the 2020 episode on 662 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,320 children. This one is basically saying 663 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,080 evidence from mainstream sources and so on that are easily 664 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,360 quotable, saying that yes, they did know what they were doing to 665 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,880 children and they did it anyway. The other article that I have 666 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,400 here is from Mark Anderson, who's, of course one of our 667 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,880 Friday contributors. He wrote a report about the UN 668 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,360 and 80 and other key topics highlighted at Tulsa's Red Pill 669 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,760 Expo. He's covered Red Pill Expo for 670 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,680 us in past years, and this is this year's report from that 671 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,480 event. And finally, we have an article 672 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,760 that I wanted to highlight, which is really interesting from 673 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,720 Doctor Yopes Landreba. Charles Mallett mentioned this 674 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:14,240 one on Wednesday's news as well, asking questions about AI and 675 00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:17,440 whether it is evil or good and the power of AI. 676 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,680 And I'd like to cover one thing here as well, which is happening 677 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,600 up here in Scotland. It's the Food and Health 678 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,880 Festival which is sponsored by my organisation, which I am a 679 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,000 member of the Executive Committee at Commodologist 680 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,680 Edinburgh, taking place on the 28th of September at 10 AM in 681 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,280 Murkeston. I'm a member of this committee 682 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,080 and I would also like to announce that I'm very excited 683 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,200 that Charles Mallett will be up here with me to speak at the 684 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,600 conference as someone who knows quite a bit about this area and 685 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,040 tickets are free. So if you want to come see me 686 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,520 and Charles on the 28th of September in Edinburgh, please 687 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,920 join us. Excellent, Diane. 688 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,200 Thank you very much for that. Well, let's come back to you, 689 00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,840 Ben. And you've been looking at 690 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,960 really the creation of the alternative society for some 691 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,280 time. You're back on the subject of 692 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,240 Makespace Oxford. Yeah. 693 00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:11,600 What's going on in Oxfordshire? So I reported on this back in 694 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,360 June, I believe it was. We looked at Makespace Oxford. 695 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:21,160 It's theory of change to transform our entire society 696 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,080 basically into something completely new. 697 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,520 Well, I mean, this will define better. 698 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,080 But to remind ourselves, let's have a little listen to this 699 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,920 short film from Matespace Oxford talking about the work that 700 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,080 they're doing. We've encountered hidden layers 701 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,360 affecting places and spaces in our county, ultimately 702 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,720 underpinned by inequity. Want to know what they are? 703 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:50,160 One values and beliefs. The culture of extraction and 704 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,320 exclusion has led to private, individualised ownership focused 705 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,520 around profit and growth rather than what the community actually 706 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,520 needs. 2 Funding, resources and knowledge. 707 00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:07,840 Money isn't going to the right places, it's not being shared 708 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:13,880 within neighbourhoods or it's travelling abroad. 3 Contracts, 709 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,520 systems and processes. The business owners are 710 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,760 struggling with complex laws which are out of date and 711 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,880 inaccessible. We can see that the land and 712 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,080 property system is not working for people or our living planet. 713 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,720 So what's our alternative? The Makespace approach. 714 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,960 Our mission is to unlock spaces and resources, build capacity 715 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,760 within communities, influence local governments and power 716 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,320 holders to transform the land and property system together. 717 00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:48,600 Collaborating locally and nationally, we're working with 718 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,600 those developing Demonstrator Neighbourhood Hubs, large spaces 719 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,560 that bring lots of groups together to imagine and 720 00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,840 prototype alternative futures by creating new forms of social and 721 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,040 civic infrastructure that's democratic, regenerative and 722 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,240 interconnected. They already exist in one form 723 00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:11,600 or another, but now we want to go deeper. 724 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,600 The answer to all the challenges we've posed in this video is 725 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,320 right here in our community. It just needs the right 726 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,400 conditions to be nurtured. Makespace Oxfordshire is one 727 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,520 part of that process by helping to create the places and 728 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,840 conditions for people to thrive. Join us as we build an 729 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,680 alternative future, centring community wealth, climate 730 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,280 resilience, and fostering cultures of care and connection. 731 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,880 Well Ben, nauseating music as always and many of our viewers 732 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,760 offended by it quite rightly. But notice the Soft Cell society 733 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,440 is going to change into something better and we need 734 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,960 better communities to do this. So you're lead into to believing 735 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,520 that they are going to be working through communities in a 736 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,240 very soft way. But of course, before the 737 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:18,200 revolution can really install itself, the old has to be 738 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,720 destroyed. And I'll just remind people 739 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:24,240 where we started warning about what is really under the 740 00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:29,440 surface, stirring everything to do with national pride and the 741 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,520 flags. So you want to destroy the old 742 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,920 society? If you can get everybody at each 743 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,120 other's throats, then they can bring in this new, very 744 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,640 dangerous utopia. Exactly. 745 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:45,760 And, and while everyone's getting upset outside of migrant 746 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,560 hotels in Epping or elsewhere around the country, this thing 747 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,000 is being built in the background. 748 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,680 That's what you speak. Absolutely. 749 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,080 Yeah. And this is this is communism, 750 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,840 basically. It's the 21st century variety of 751 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,400 communism. Woke corporatism basically is 752 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,080 the term that I've arrived at because you have communist ideas 753 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:08,320 brought to you by international corporations. 754 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,760 And those two things are working together in parallel. 755 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,880 And this has been been going on since 2021. 756 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:21,160 And there's this document that one of their reports and they 757 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,360 have up in the top left hand corner, it says meanwhile in 758 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,760 Oxfordshire. And for me, this this speaks to 759 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,640 what's happening here, right? Because they're deliberately 760 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,960 orchestrating chaos around the country. 761 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:35,120 And meanwhile, like they're cutting to a different scene in 762 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:36,720 the story. You have to understand that, 763 00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:40,760 that what's playing out on your TV screens, it is a story, is a 764 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,720 narrative, it's been scripted. And I think that this, this 765 00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:45,680 document explains that really well. 766 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,080 So they kicked off in 2021. It's been a whole process that 767 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,880 they've gone through. And ultimately they are seeking 768 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,520 to actively engaged in the total wholesale transformation of our 769 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,000 society from top to bottom. They're still at it, believe it 770 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,200 or not. Of course they are. 771 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,400 And they just announced this little event coming up in 10 772 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,640 days or so, 16th of September. So a couple of weeks out. 773 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:12,520 And this is brought to you by an organisation called Cooperative 774 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,320 Futures. Makespace Oxford are in the mix 775 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,880 as well. There's always a kind of network 776 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,480 of these things making it more difficult to pin down. 777 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,080 But ultimately, this is all about delivering the UN 778 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,840 sustainable development agenda. Funded by UK government, of 779 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,480 course. Funded by UK government 780 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,240 makespace. The chair of makespace was a 781 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:34,520 senior civil servant until she stepped down. 782 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,400 The week after the day I think it was, I did that initial 783 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:38,800 report. I can't remember if I mentioned 784 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,080 that on the news before. So what's this all about? 785 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,120 This event coming up? So it's about providing 1 to 1 786 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,440 social business development support, free training 787 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,640 workshops, peer support groups to the people that are engaged 788 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,960 in building this new communitarian system. 789 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,880 A lot of it centres around this, which is the introduction of 790 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,800 this thing called a community interest company, CIC, which is 791 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,800 essentially a new type of business. 792 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,520 And if you provide a link, you can go and have a look at the 793 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,000 the page on the.gov website. But essentially CIC, they're 794 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,080 limited companies which operate to provide a benefit to the 795 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,480 community they serve. The purpose of the CIC is 796 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,080 primarily one of community benefit rather than private 797 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:25,400 profit, importantly introduced by Blair in 2005. 798 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,160 So this is kind of been sat in the background. 799 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,080 It's really being elevated at the moment and it's actually 800 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,400 being used by a lot of people in the freedom movement, I've 801 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,440 noticed. And I think that there might be 802 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,080 an issue here. I think this is a trap. 803 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,720 I can understand why people are going for this structure. 804 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,160 There's something to do with the way it's constituted where you 805 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,840 have to pass a community interest test. 806 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,480 So the CIC must satisfy the regulator that a reasonable 807 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,840 person might consider that the CI, CS activities are will be 808 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,240 carried out for the benefit of the community. 809 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,760 That's when you've got the regulator involved, reasonable 810 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,960 people that have been educated in the right way potentially 811 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,080 that are signed up to this system. 812 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,800 I think there's a control component here, compliance 813 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,480 component that is is going to come back and bite people with 814 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,440 the with this structure. I think this is a really 815 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,840 important part of this new system that they're building. 816 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,120 One example of the CICS, and really crucially in terms of who 817 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,960 is coming into the country in order to build this new system, 818 00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:27,400 is this organisation which was part of the ecosystem around 819 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,400 this event coming up on the 16th, right? 820 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:34,560 And this is really important. African families in the UKCIC 821 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,920 The vision of a FIUK is to equip African and other ethnic 822 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:44,000 minority families in the UK to take their rightful place as 823 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,160 fruitful members of our society and to make the most of the 824 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,640 available opportunities in their adopted country without 825 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,000 adversely affecting the strong family and community networks 826 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,520 that Africans are known for. That's interesting, right? 827 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,000 Because they're doing everything they can to undermine family and 828 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,600 community in in the UK, but when they're bringing people in from 829 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,360 Africa and elsewhere, they're going to do everything that they 830 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,200 possibly can to avoid undermining those strong family 831 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,240 and community networks because those are what make communities 832 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,600 robust. Interestingly, that interesting, 833 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:18,400 isn't it? At which? 834 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,040 Point I say Ben. And of course, what's actually 835 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,600 going to happen is they will eventually betray those African. 836 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,960 Families because they. Won't look after them at all, 837 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,440 no. No, they'll do exactly the same 838 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,200 thing to them that they're doing to us right now, importantly, 839 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,960 really importantly. And by the way, I don't think 840 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,160 the vast, vast, vast majority of people coming into the country 841 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,120 through programmes like this, we've got any indication 842 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,440 whatsoever that they're caught up in something potentially 843 00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:47,760 dangerous, frankly for them as well as everyone around them. 844 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,400 Let's just go back to this, to this slide. 845 00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:53,640 Let's let me just assume. I mean, there was loads in that 846 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,240 text that we could spend time on, but we're a bit pushed with 847 00:49:56,240 --> 00:49:58,000 time. So maybe we can pick that up 848 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,240 again in extra. But look at that, African 849 00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:04,440 families in the UK, Africa presents it as being the same 850 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:10,680 size as the UK, Africa's land. The UK is nought .8% of the size 851 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,840 in terms of land mass as Africa and it's got 4% of the 852 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,400 population. So there's already a lot more 853 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,320 densely populated. But apparently we've got to 854 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,160 bring African families into the UK. 855 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,560 Interesting. And it's not just African 856 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,520 families importantly, because if you go to the AFIUK website you 857 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,800 can see that it's also other racially minoritized families in 858 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,800 Oxfordshire. So this is basically anyone who 859 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,720 isn't ethnically English. And let's be absolutely clear, 860 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:40,320 this is who is serving the interests of it's run by these 861 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,480 two ladies. So this is Jackie Gitau. 862 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,080 I'm saying that, right? And then Doctor Rachel Walton at 863 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,880 the top there, who's a community leader, author, strategic 864 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:55,280 innovator, partnering with various councils, Oxfordshire 865 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,960 County Council, Oxford City Council, the University of 866 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:03,680 Oxford, Oxford, all over this. The library in Blackbird Leaves 867 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,320 is in there. So that's quite interesting, 868 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,520 should overlap quite nicely with what Ian's going to talk about 869 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,080 in a moment. And importantly, because I 870 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,640 hadn't drawn this direct connection in the last report, 871 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,040 the King. So they've just received the 872 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,720 King's Award for Transformative Impact. 873 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:25,440 This was issued just a month ago and this award lives on the DCMS 874 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,840 website Departure of Culture, Media and Sport. 875 00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:32,040 So this is all being run out of the establishment, central 876 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,560 government, royal family. And he hasn't just put his name 877 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,760 to it. He was also in attendance at the 878 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,280 awards ceremony, handing them out to these lovely ladies to 879 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,680 put his royal mark of approval on the creation of a completely 880 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,800 new communitarian parallel system in Oxfordshire. 881 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,000 While the country is going up in, well, metaphorically going 882 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,440 up in flames, hopefully it doesn't go up in actual flames. 883 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,720 Meanwhile, the big headline is is about the Queen fighting off 884 00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:00,440 an attacker with her shoe when she was younger. 885 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,680 I'm not. Talking about what this is 886 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,240 about. So the Telegraph, does the 887 00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:07,920 Telegraph know what's going on? I'm going to say they don't. 888 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:08,680 Not at. I'm going to. 889 00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:11,240 Say they do. Editorial board does. 890 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,200 I'm going to say the average journalist. 891 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:14,920 Average journalist? Probably not. 892 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,320 But we are putting this information across. 893 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,720 Have you, have you got? Was that the finals? 894 00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:24,360 That is, that is me, Don, Brian. Diane, let's bring you back. 895 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,600 We've we've got so much we'd like to talk about in today's 896 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,200 news. It's always a problem to fit it 897 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,880 in with available time. But let's bring you bring you 898 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,880 back. And of course, the subject is 899 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:41,400 really the attack on children's minds by this Rules based 900 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,960 international Order group. Yes, that's right. 901 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,120 And following up on what I just covered in my previous segment 902 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,880 ending with Julian Huxley, UNESCO, which is as I said, he 903 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,640 founded with that document talking about population control 904 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,560 and putting man 2nd and the, you know, the issue of saying 905 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,520 diversity versus the one world order, like what is actually 906 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,640 going on there. But anyway, UNESCO is known as 907 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,480 they call themselves the United Nations Specialised Agency for 908 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,760 Education. And to go along with Agenda 909 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,800 2030, they also have Education 2030, which is what I'm going to 910 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,120 focus on here in just a little bit more. 911 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,840 They wrote this document called the Education for Sustainable 912 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,080 Development, a road map. And this is I think around 80 913 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,320 pages. Again, as I do for all of our 914 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,480 viewers, normally I read it so you don't have to. 915 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,760 And what it talks about in specifically is basically how 916 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,840 we're going to educate people, children and so on in the 917 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,400 schools and libraries on how to how to become sustainable 918 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,200 development citizens. The in the introduction to it, 919 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,040 we have Stefania Dianini, who was the assistant director of 920 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,840 UNESCO for education. She said that the so called 921 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:53,040 COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the planet in 2020 is not 922 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,800 only a global health crisis, it is a crisis affecting every 923 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,720 aspect of our lives. And one that has revealed she 924 00:53:59,720 --> 00:54:02,800 had a misspelling there revelled the fragility of our 925 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,000 interdependence with nature. Again, nature being more 926 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,440 important than us. We have learned that as forests 927 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,480 are destroyed, not only are wild animals endangered and 928 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,200 ecosystems weakened, but also humans become exposed to unknown 929 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,760 infectious agents that can threaten their lives. 930 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,440 Now how all that exactly ties in with a so called deadly virus, 931 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:25,840 I'm not sure. But anyway, SDG target 4.7 as 932 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,520 sustainable development and global citizenship is considered 933 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:33,000 to be a very major target within one of the biggest SDG goals 934 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,560 which is education. And this one says that by 2030. 935 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,040 So we've only got less than five years left now for this. 936 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,440 Ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed 937 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,440 to promote sustainable development, including among 938 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,840 others, through education for sustainable development and 939 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,120 sustainable lifestyles. Human rights, gender equality, 940 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,720 promotion of a culture of peace and non violence. 941 00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,840 It's not exactly what we're seeing in the world right now. 942 00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,840 Global citizenship and appreciation of cultural 943 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,680 diversity. There's that word again. 944 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,080 And of culture's contribution to sustainable development. 945 00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:09,080 So we can see in here again and part of the eight page report, 946 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,680 we have a sustainable development goal wheel, which we 947 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,600 have shown before. And this shows specifically how 948 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,520 each of the 17 SDGS ties in directly to education. 949 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,120 So it's not just SDG 4, it's all of them. 950 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,000 And you can look at that in more detail. 951 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000 The link will be in the show notes for that. 952 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,040 So when I'm talking specifically about libraries and reading, 953 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,880 which of course is one of my my loves of my life, we have a book 954 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,000 club from the UN, which is the the Sustainable Development Goal 955 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,760 book Club, which is part of SDG 17 partnerships for the goals. 956 00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:45,200 And so I want to talk here specifically about IFLA and 957 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,800 relation to reading and library. So IFLA is the International 958 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,200 Association or federation for library associations and 959 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,680 institutions. I know this organisation well 960 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,200 because it's sort of the parent organisation for all worldwide 961 00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,720 library associations, including here in the UK, which I used to 962 00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:04,360 be a member of before I was exiled from there, as well as 963 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,160 the American Library Association, which I used to 964 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,880 belong to. And they just held their annual 965 00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:14,120 conference, the World Library and Information Congress, last 966 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,440 month. So here is a clip from the 967 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,440 president of Ifla. Her name is Vicki McDonald, 968 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,600 she's a librarian from Australia and the conference was held in 969 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,080 Astana, Kazakhstan. Please strengthen our voice. 970 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,840 Since our last Congress in Rotterdam in 2023, there has 971 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,120 been significant changes in our world. 972 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,800 The influence of geopolitical forces is impacting every corner 973 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,000 of the world. It's in impacting our daily work 974 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,520 and now perhaps more than any other time in almost 100 years 975 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,960 at IFLA. As a profession, we need to be 976 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,280 more vocal about the contributions that we can make 977 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,680 to our respective communities. We need to be searching. 978 00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,800 For radical solutions and use our collective voice to drive 979 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,800 better. Outcomes for our communities, 980 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,520 but also at a global level. One of Ifla's strengths is our 981 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,560 recognition as a global voice for libraries. 982 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,600 But we can. Only credibly engage in spaces 983 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,880 like the United Nations and UNESCO. 984 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,400 If we can show that this voice truly represents a field that is 985 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:27,200 constantly striving to. So we can see here Vicki 986 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,440 McDonald making claims, as IFLA has done for years, about it 987 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,760 being a globalist organisation and promoting the global agenda. 988 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,360 I was a member of the Education and Training Committee as an 989 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,760 elected member of the committee up until last year when I 990 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,920 resigned from the organisation. It's also interesting to note 991 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:47,800 that Vicki McDonald was president in 2024 leading up to 992 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,920 the 2024 IFLA conference. They decided to withdraw from 993 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,120 holding the conference in Dubai because Dubai was not seen as 994 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,080 being an inclusive place for the LGBT community. 995 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,120 Never mind that they were excluding a large part of the 996 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,840 world by excluding that part of the world. 997 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,600 Anyway, IFLA just published a book. 998 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,680 Or one of the groups of IFLA which focuses on sustainable 999 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:11,200 development goals published this book in June this year called 1000 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,880 Libraries Driving Education for Sustainable Development. 1001 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,640 This is over 400 pages telling you exactly how libraries of all 1002 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,640 types can promote sustainable development education. 1003 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,360 Here is also a poster that is meant to be placed in school 1004 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,040 libraries around the world, which is the IF like UNESCO 1005 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:31,040 School Library Manifesto 2025. So if you are near a school 1006 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,240 library or have children in school libraries, take a look at 1007 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,600 this and see if you can spot this poster anywhere. 1008 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,720 I'd be interested to hear if you do find it. 1009 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,760 And a group that has been working for years within IFLA 1010 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:47,040 has created this resource called Library Map of the World, which 1011 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,920 shows exactly which sustainable development goals are being met 1012 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,640 and in which ways and by which countries and what they're 1013 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,760 doing. So if we drill down as I did 1014 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,400 here to SDG 4, which again is quality education, we see that 1015 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:03,960 there are 45 stories in 31 countries explaining exactly how 1016 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,240 these are being implemented in libraries around the world. 1017 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,280 So we have a video here that I would like to just show quickly 1018 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,880 from Ukraine. This is called SDG Stories and 1019 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,240 it talks about here which sustainable development goals 1020 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,000 they are meeting. And we see here the Children's 1021 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,280 library in Ukraine is empowering children to tackle the 1022 00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,280 environment and issues. Children looking happy. 1023 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,600 Their Garbage Hero project helps families learn about recycling 1024 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,640 while having fun. Waste management children apply 1025 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,960 their knowledge during interactive activities at the 1026 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,960 library, online and in their homes. 1027 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,200 And what else are they doing here? 1028 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:42,320 Well, since 3000, children since 2016 between ages 4 and 15 have 1029 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:46,840 taken part 70% of families have reported improved attitudes and 1030 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,200 recycling habits. And there are more stories 1031 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,960 available from around the world on the library map of the world 1032 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,920 and these SGG stories. So we can see exactly how 1033 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,680 they're doing it. And I would imagine that Ukraine 1034 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,760 has more to worry about at this point in time than how much the 1035 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,160 children are learning to recycle. 1036 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,680 But the part of the bigger agenda, of course, with 1037 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,800 population control, we see things around the LGBT community 1038 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,000 and the promotion of of, of, you know, deviant sexual behaviours, 1039 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,200 paedophilia. Here's an example from 2023, 1040 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,200 when the Daily Mail reported about a book called Granddad's 1041 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,120 Pride. They reported to the library 1042 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,160 that they weren't happy about it and the nursery agreed to 1043 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:23,800 withdraw the book from the lessons. 1044 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,080 This book is called Granddad's Pride. 1045 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,000 As I said, it's it's got another book which is related to it by 1046 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000 the same author called Granddad's Camper. 1047 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,120 So there's the cover of the book. 1048 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,560 And I will talk about this book more and extra because I 1049 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,920 actually own a copy of it and I've looked at the contents 1050 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,680 quite a bit. I'm writing an article about it, 1051 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,880 but here's just some of the images we see here, for example, 1052 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,640 MAP, which is shown as a map, but it could also be an 1053 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,280 abbreviation potentially for minor attractive persons. 1054 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,120 We see the slogan love is love is love, which is used by a 1055 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,760 certain pedophilic communities and minor talk to people as they 1056 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,800 call them. And we see here two men wearing 1057 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,800 a bondage gear, fetish gear, talking about all all we need is 1058 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,880 love and it's all about love and inclusion and it's all 1059 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,680 wonderful. So I again, we'll talk about 1060 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,400 this book more an extra, but I just wanted to show that this is 1061 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,240 an example of how we are putting this agenda around population 1062 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,200 control and control of children's minds directly into 1063 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,600 the hands of the children and the libraries on the schools. 1064 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,560 Brian. Joanne, thank you very much. 1065 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,800 Really important to expose this so that parents, wherever you 1066 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,800 are, can see it. And of course when you see it, 1067 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,680 you can challenge it and fight it. 1068 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,720 But it's obvious that the minds of children are being targeted 1069 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,880 by this pernicious material and the aim is to breakdown family 1070 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:46,320 life, is to breakdown proper relationships between men and 1071 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,240 women themselves. So very, very dangerous stuff, 1072 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,520 and to see library libraries being used as a weapon on a 1073 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:58,360 global basis is truly horrific. But we'll discuss it a little 1074 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,880 bit more in extra time. Now we're going to end today's 1075 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,600 news on what we think is a very big positive. 1076 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:10,320 We will show part of a clip that we have about the Hope Festival, 1077 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,800 which we attended a couple of weeks ago now. 1078 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,640 It was a tremendous event, lots of really interesting people 1079 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,120 coming together, socialise, relax, enjoy each other's 1080 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,480 company in brilliant weather, music and camping. 1081 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,040 And one of the things that struck me was although everybody 1082 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:33,560 was largely very casually dressed, a huge mix of different 1083 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:37,000 people. So we had professionals, we had 1084 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,640 non professionals, we had musicians, we had people skilled 1085 01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,840 at working with their hands. All of those people coming 1086 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,720 together, all of those people understanding something really 1087 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,400 bad going wrong in our society and they were all there 1088 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,360 determined to do something about it. 1089 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,000 So let's have a look at a couple of minutes of this and we'll see 1090 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,720 the full video in UK column extra in a few moments. 1091 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:09,960 The first, the original and many here would say the best Hope 1092 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:15,520 Freedom Music Festival. The event started in 2022, 1093 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,720 providing a sanctuary of sanity for those questioning the 1094 01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:23,080 madness going on in the world. Now in its fourth year and 1095 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,360 having inspired many other freedom festivals in the UK, 1096 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:31,240 it's still regarded by many as the original outdoor home for 1097 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:35,960 those seeking truth, like minded people, music and fun. 1098 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:41,000 The organisers Sadie Single and Katie Jo Murphy and the huge 1099 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,160 team that makes up Hope work tirelessly all year to make the 1100 01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,160 event happen. Battling against the COVID 1101 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,640 insanity may have been the original reason for Hope, but 1102 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:55,520 now it's not about fighting. I think the whole point of hope 1103 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,320 and creating community is a transition away from mainstream 1104 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,640 society to create something else that's completely different. 1105 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,520 It's the it's what we want. It's our society surrounded by 1106 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,600 the people that we love and we want. 1107 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,480 Growing food and educating our children in our vision is what 1108 01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,800 we want. I've spent a lot of my life 1109 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:19,440 fighting against the system and I've realised after quite a long 1110 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,800 time that it's actually completely pointless. 1111 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,800 You just need to create your own system in time, and that's 1112 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,760 really what we're doing at Hope. If there were more places like 1113 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,640 this, then there would be more places for people to go. 1114 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,920 And we just grow bigger and bigger and stronger and 1115 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,840 stronger. And I do think it is a case of 1116 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:40,400 we just say no, we've, we have got to start just removing 1117 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,080 ourselves and going, we're not going to do it. 1118 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,040 We're not complying. That's our that's our strongest 1119 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,520 weapon I think is the ability to say we're not having it, Doing 1120 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,640 our bit for freedom and truth of course. 1121 01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:56,640 UK column The team took over the Hope Talk tent for the whole day 1122 01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:01,600 on Saturday. 7 hours of presentations, a live recording 1123 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:06,600 of UK Column news and Q&A with a very switched on audience. 1124 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:12,320 It was informative, inspiring, uplifting and it certainly hit 1125 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,840 the spot. The tent was well there. 1126 01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,640 We are a taster. We will show the full clip in UK 1127 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,920 column in in a few moments. But Ben, you were there, you 1128 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:27,440 were speaking really wonderful people and great to see such 1129 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,480 interest in what was actually happening in the country and the 1130 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,840 and the information that UK column was putting across it 1131 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,200 was. Fantastic, Yeah. 1132 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:36,520 Best weekend of the summer for me. 1133 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,840 Indeed. And Diane, you managed to get 1134 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,440 down all the way from North East of England, so that was 1135 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:46,240 fantastic as well. We must end today's news. 1136 01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:51,000 Too much to put across today, but we'll try and we'll try and 1137 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,120 work more in of what's happening, obviously UK 1138 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:59,840 worldwide in the up and coming UK column, news editions. 1139 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,920 But we must end for today.
