1 00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:11,770 Good afternoon. Today is Monday the 12th of 2 00:00:11,770 --> 00:00:16,410 August 2024, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News. 3 00:00:16,530 --> 00:00:19,370 I'm your host, Brian Garish, and I'm delighted to have with me 4 00:00:19,930 --> 00:00:25,810 Diane Rasmussen, Mcaddy from Scotland and Ben Rubin from 5 00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:29,800 London. Now I'm just going to say that I 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,280 did mention last week I was going to do an update on 7 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,160 Ukraine. I'm not going to do that. 8 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,600 Today will be on Wednesday. Obviously some very interesting 9 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,400 events unfolding with the Ukrainian incursion into the 10 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,440 Kursk area, but other very serious things happening on the 11 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,400 battlefield. But I'll cover that on 12 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,360 Wednesday. We decided that today the focus 13 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,840 should be on UK. We're really in a war in this 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,520 country and as I've said before, in my opinion that is a war 15 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,440 against our own politicians. But let's hear what Nigel Farage 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,760 had to say on the subject of Keir Starmer and immigration. 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,240 So Starmer's going to get tough. We're going to treat the 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,280 trafficking gangs as if they are terrorists. 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,440 We're going to take the lead in Europe. 20 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,760 Goodness me, I've heard that before. 21 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,240 And you know what we're going to do? 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,640 We're going to sign back up to Europol, not Interpol, no 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,840 Europol, the E us own police force. 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,040 And we will take our share of asylum seekers crossing the 25 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,040 Mediterranean coming in to the European Union. 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,480 We'll be signing up for the EU refugee program, something we 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,960 weren't even in as members of the European Union. 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,120 And given that yesterday 6800 people landed in Lampedusa, 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Italy alone, I suspect the number, even if the boat stops, 30 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,720 the numbers coming, would be even bigger than now. 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280 We're going back into EU programs. 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,800 He won't solve a thing. Well totally agree with him. 33 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,800 It won't solve the thing, but what would be nice is if Nigel 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,680 Farage would get into the real detail as what's happening, 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,440 because the illegal immigration is a tiny fraction of the 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,760 overall migration and that migration is planned policy 37 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,800 throughout the European Union. Indeed it's a globalist policy, 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,720 as we've highlighted several times before. 39 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,320 But Nigel's certainly right to be warning about Starmer getting 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,280 involved with the Europol because this is dragging us 41 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,760 deeper into the EU. And we can be sure that if 42 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,640 Europol is being engaged in matters to do with immigration, 43 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,640 Europol will be engaged in matters to do with terrorism. 44 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,880 And as most people in the UK now understand, Starmer is prepared 45 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,800 to label anybody who gets out of hand or challenges his policies, 46 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,760 his government, as a terrorist. So this is very dangerous times. 47 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,360 But let's just jump back a little bit and see what Keir 48 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,800 Starmer was saying while he was still in the position of shadow 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,600 leader. Would Labour be prepared to 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,760 negotiate with the 27 EU nations on a an asylum seeker burden 51 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,840 sharing scheme so that Britain does its bit within the wider 52 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,880 international context? I think it's important to 53 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,640 distinguish between the arrangements within the EU for 54 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:22,640 EU members, which we're not part of and we won't be part of, and 55 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,760 sitting outside that, a returns agreement of some sort. 56 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,120 Now everybody knows we need a returns agreement. 57 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,480 The Prime Minister himself has acknowledged that we need a 58 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,240 returns agreement and that would have to be negotiated. 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,440 We're in opposition. We're not in a position to 60 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,400 negotiate that. And that's not what I've been 61 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,160 talking about today. But I accept that that's a a 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,640 discussion that needs to take place. 63 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400 The Prime Minister knows that's a discussion that needs to take 64 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,440 place, but the terms of that would have to be negotiated as 65 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,320 we went along. But it wouldn't be as if we were 66 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,800 a member of the EU because we're not a member of the EU. 67 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,240 So I'd just like to ask the audience, is this man just 68 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,360 confused? He doesn't really understand 69 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,760 what he said previously, or is he actually lying? 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,400 It's so difficult to tell. We're not in, we're not part of, 71 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,200 but what is he absolutely doing? He's burying, burrowing his way 72 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,200 back into the European Union as fast as possible. 73 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,680 So let's have a look at him in action here. 74 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,840 UK Prime Minister Kia Starmer has announced 99 million euros 75 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,480 in funding to tackle illegal migration. 76 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:34,880 Starmer said To stop illegal migration, we must also tackle 77 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,560 it at source. The money will fund projects 78 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,720 across Africa and the Middle East and includes humanitarian 79 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,440 and health support and access to education. 80 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,680 Starmer was speaking to the leaders of 45 countries at the 81 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,760 European Political Community Summit in Oxfordshire. 82 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,080 So there we are, an EU political summit brought into Oxfordshire 83 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,920 and Keir Starmer deep into it. What has happened? 84 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,720 Well, the EU is still wrapped around us and Keir Starmer is 85 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,080 going to make sure that those chains have pulled even tighter 86 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,240 around people in UK. Let's look at just some of the 87 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,800 headlines as legacy media did actually pick up at least some 88 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,240 of the things going on here. Because whilst headline in the 89 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,600 first one is the terrorist gang, this is about the chats with 90 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,680 Europol supposedly on immigration. 91 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,240 But is it really? And then we can see we've got 92 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,000 Sky News talking about sites on a closer relationship with 93 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,600 Europe. Kia Starmer aims to repair 94 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,560 European bridges that the Tories have burnt. 95 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,640 Kia Starmer plots deal to take EU migrants from the Telegraph 96 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,160 and UK Starmer hails European unity on Ukraine, tackling 97 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,080 migration and of course many, many people coming out of 98 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,600 Ukraine, into Europe and indeed onto UK. 99 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,560 Well, what did the UK column have to say about Brexit back in 100 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,560 2018? That they want a veto over 101 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,200 future trade deals signed by the UK. 102 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,680 So in other words, if the UK signs a trade deal with a 103 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,520 country that the EU has a trade deal with, the EU is suggesting 104 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,040 that they want the part of veto some aspects of those trade 105 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,800 deals that Britain might do with other countries. 106 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,560 Yeah, it's Brexit without the exit. 107 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,640 And I think we're looking at that. 108 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:39,200 I think that's absolutely it. So I think we're allowed to say 109 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,680 the UK column absolutely on the button. 110 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,800 Back then we saw it for what it was. 111 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,560 We called it out for what it was. 112 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,240 It was not Brexit with an exit. There was no exit in what was 113 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,200 what was what was done. And Keir Starmer of course knows 114 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,680 this and he's going to continue to lock us Eva even deeper into 115 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520 EU controls. Now have a look at what he's 116 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,720 doing to the UK public. This is a Telegraph reporters 117 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,680 article here. You'll be refused bail even if 118 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,880 you only watch riots from the sideline. 119 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,520 Judge warns whether an active participant or curious observer, 120 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,240 anybody involved in disorder will be locked up. 121 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840 Now that was told a Belfast course. 122 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,720 But let's just have a look at this clip at an event. 123 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,560 A simple event, but very telling this side of the water. 124 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,640 We've got to stand up against this. 125 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,680 We've got to come together and stand up against this. 126 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,600 Guys. Watch the papers tomorrow or 127 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,360 today. Don't ask Wesley Winters what? 128 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,440 The media will say about this but let all on camera. 129 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,800 He's been doing a mega job against British people. 130 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960 After documenting the whole event and standing in the same 131 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,480 spot for about 10 more minutes, the police then decided to do 132 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,160 this. He's been covering all the 133 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,240 behind the scenes stuff of this. And look at this, what are you 134 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,680 doing the rest of me arresting for a public disorder for 135 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,520 filming? Well, there you have it, public 136 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,480 disorder for filming and it's only going to get worse under 137 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400 Keir Starmer, free speech is being destroyed. 138 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,120 Just a little clip here from Margaret Thatcher talking on the 139 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,520 subject of immigration. I'm going to talk over it for 140 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320 people who are just listening into the news, but let's play 141 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,320 it. So she's saying those who are 142 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,560 genuine refugees and that's determined by the United Nations 143 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,720 will not be returned. Those are that are legal 144 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,919 migrants will be returned. And it is customary 145 00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:43,039 international law for countries to receive their own immigrants 146 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,720 back into their country. And if he, the right honourable 147 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,000 gentleman, is suggesting that we ever get to a position when you 148 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,040 cannot return illegal immigrants to their country of origin, then 149 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,440 he is proposing international chaos. 150 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,440 And that of course is what it is, calculated chaos. 151 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,480 So Ben, good point to bring you in because we are clearly under 152 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,480 attack by our own government and the key tactic at the moment is 153 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,040 anybody who dares to speak out or challenge Starmer's 154 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,360 government is a far right wing extremist. 155 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,920 What's your thoughts? We're all far right now. 156 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,320 That was a great opening segment, Brian. 157 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,880 Thank you. The the gentleman being arrested 158 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,560 for filming, what was going on in the street level, I think is 159 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:35,280 very telling because the government don't want you seeing 160 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,320 what's happening on the street. And I think it's because they 161 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,920 might well be coordinating it. And I'm going to talk to you 162 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,480 about that. And I think draw some dots 163 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,000 together, draw some information together, which supports that 164 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,240 analysis. So last week there was we were 165 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,960 certainly presented with the story of an organic and 166 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,360 spontaneous anti fascist uprising in response to riots 167 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,000 across the north of England, in response to the far right thugs 168 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,920 and fascists that are our fellow citizens according to the people 169 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,880 in power. I was sent this message by 170 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,320 someone from the Jamaican community which was doing the 171 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,920 rounds on Wednesday. And we can see here a supposed a 172 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,680 call out from a far right group telling people to come together 173 00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:27,160 at 39 locations from Aldershot to Wigan, all around the UK in 174 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,840 order to push back against immigration, saying they won't 175 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,440 stop coming until you tell the mask up, get out on the street. 176 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,040 All right, This was sent to me and it'd be doing the rounds 177 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,600 across the whole of London so far as I can tell, actually a 178 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,000 lot of people talking about this. 179 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000 It was very well distributed and then in response to that we saw 180 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,880 a whole bunch of St. level activity, most notably for me 181 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,960 this event up in Walthamstow, which is just around the corner 182 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,400 from where I live. Here we have Paul Mason, former 183 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,200 political editor at Channel 4 News, a former BBC man as well, 184 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,400 talking about an event in Walthamstow. 185 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,960 Central 10,000 people, peaceful, calm, determine the actual 186 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,320 working class of East London. Hashtag hope, not hate. 187 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,920 Now let's just remind ourselves who Paul Mason is for a start. 188 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,720 I'm going to come back to him a couple of times in his 189 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,520 presentation. The first thing you need to know 190 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,000 about him is that he is actually a confirmed MI 6 asset. 191 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,000 Yeah. So this is someone who works 192 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,480 with military intelligence. I also like to reference the 193 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,160 fact that there are actually very few working class people in 194 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,560 Walthamstow these days. The average house price is about 195 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,920 800,000 lbs. And in this video, all I can see 196 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,640 is a bunch of fashionistas. Yeah, this look like this sort 197 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,040 of average shortage, people who work in design agencies, all 198 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,080 that kind of thing. Right. 199 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,240 So the idea that this is some kind of spontaneous working 200 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,240 class uprising I think is just a bit far fetched. 201 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,880 I did go up to go and take a look. 202 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,680 I didn't want to, but I thought I best given it was happening. 203 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,200 This is a photo that I took. Big crowd. 204 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,120 Let me zoom in a little bit. There certainly were thousands 205 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,360 of people. 10,000 Yeah, maybe actually there were a lot of 206 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,760 people out on the street, but it was a very strange atmosphere. 207 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,160 When I my my coming away from it, I made a little film I 208 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120 shared on my telegram. And the word that I used was 209 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,920 dead. Felt like a dead atmosphere. 210 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,320 There was no one to be in opposition to, right? 211 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,440 So, and all these people have come out in order to stare down 212 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,960 the fascists, but there were no fascists at all on the street. 213 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,120 There are a few people in the crowd speaking in hush tones 214 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,280 about the fact that maybe someone from the EDL had been 215 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,880 spotted in this part of London or that part of London. 216 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,600 But there were no fascists. There were no EDL supporters, 217 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,280 which is actually, you know, unsurprising given the fact that 218 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,400 the EDL doesn't exist anymore. It was disbanded in 2014, right. 219 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,240 So this is a bit of a bogeyman here. 220 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,760 It feels like this is a story that's been concocted for for a, 221 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,000 for a specific reason. And actually it turns out the 222 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,800 whole thing probably was a hoax, right? 223 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600 So this is Nick Longs from Hope not Hate. 224 00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,960 I mentioned Hope not Hate earlier because Paul Mason used 225 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,120 the hashtag. So then maybe some link here. 226 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,000 And we spoke about this fella last week because he shared a 227 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,400 full story about acid being thrown on Muslim women in the 228 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,520 north of England, which was a deliberate provocation as far as 229 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,840 I can tell. And yeah, he says it was a hoax. 230 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,320 But just look at the front pages of today's papers. 231 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:23,280 An anti racist message is being transmitted to millions of homes 232 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,760 this morning. That's a big propaganda win. 233 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,960 And anti racism, by the way, that's that is just Marxism when 234 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,640 you dig into it. So we had wall to wall support 235 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,080 for the anti fascist across even the right wing press. 236 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,680 My goodness, the Daily Mail got in on the ACT, right? 237 00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:41,800 You know, people presenting this like it's some kind of huge 238 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,240 moral victory for the nation. But actually what did we see on 239 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,520 the streets? A lot of this kind of thing 240 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,040 actually, there are a lot of armed gangs of immigrants 241 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760 roaming around in places like Sheffield and Stoke. 242 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,480 And then what popped up the next day? 243 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,560 This video, which came from the Walthamstow protest. 244 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,800 They hurt. We've got children and women 245 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,560 using those trains. It's doing the summer elegance. 246 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,120 They are disgusting, nothing and. 247 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,560 We need to cull their throats and get rid of the road. 248 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760 I just want to say thank you all for the leaving now and. 249 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:39,800 Thank you so much. So that was a fellow called 250 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,360 Ricky Jones calling for political dissidents that he 251 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,880 calls Nazis to have their throats cut, right. 252 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,400 That is a criminal offence. So he's a Labour councillor in 253 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,120 Dartford or, or I should say he was a Labour councillor in 254 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,200 Dartford because he's been suspended, as we'll find out in 255 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,680 a minute, back in 2021. I've done a little bit of 256 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,600 digging into this guy. He got the sniffles in 2021, he 257 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,640 got COVID and he participated in what is basically a propaganda 258 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,320 exercise. I recommend going to watch this 259 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,960 short video. It's only a couple of minutes 260 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,440 and we'll put a link to it in the comments. 261 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,040 As I said, he was suspended by Dartford Labour. 262 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,920 They said that they're, whatever video circulating the behaviour 263 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,440 is completely unacceptable. He's been suspended from the 264 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,600 Labour Party and they're not going to be making any further 265 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,800 comment. All of the, the replies were 266 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,360 locked. So there's no discussion over 267 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,240 here. And then it the next day, 268 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,280 actually it was on the same day that the video appeared on the 269 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,840 eighth. He was, he was arrested. 270 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320 So the Met Police saying that a man's been arrested at an 271 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,240 address in South London. He was held on suspicion of 272 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,720 encouraging murder and for an offence under the Public Order 273 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,520 Act at a peace rally of all things. 274 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,920 Isn't that remarkable? So anyway, we'll come back to 275 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,880 Ricky Jones, we'll let you know how that develops. 276 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,360 But I think it tells you quite a bit about the tone of things and 277 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,200 where that's coming from. Actually, let's go back to this 278 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,160 image. So there were two things that 279 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,240 jumped out of me here. The first one is that is an 280 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,000 Amnesty International High V's vest. 281 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,640 Yeah. And I don't know who that woman 282 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,680 is. I don't know if she works at 283 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,320 Amnesty International, but she's certainly been associated with 284 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,840 the message that he delivered. And Amnesty International will 285 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400 set up to protect political dissidents. 286 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,640 But Ricky there has just said that he wants to kill political 287 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,880 dissidents. The optics here are absolutely 288 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,880 appalling. Amnesty have not thus far made 289 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,400 any kind of statement about this. 290 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,200 I've been onto their Twitter page and they've not posted 291 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,880 anything since the 7th of August. 292 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,600 And I think they need to make a statement. 293 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400 So actually this afternoon I'm going to be contacting Sasha 294 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,600 Deshmukh, who I used to work with, by the way. 295 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,960 Hi Sasha, who is the chief executive of Amnesty UK. 296 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,040 So I think that they need to come out very firmly on the side 297 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,600 of on on the right side of this, frankly. 298 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,800 Who else have we got in frame? So this woman laughing about the 299 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,480 throat cutting, that's Joe Cardwell. 300 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,000 She's a radical Marxist and she was the chief steward of the 301 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000 event. She was actually running the 302 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,280 event. She was the senior official 303 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,000 there organizing things on the ground. 304 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,680 As I say, she's a political operative, she's been working 305 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,079 very closely with the Green Party recently and she was part 306 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,720 of the team working with this gentleman, most in Ali, who's 307 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,760 the lead city councillor for Gipton and Hare Hills for the 308 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,920 Green Party, and he was voted in back in May. 309 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,440 And I think this image is quite revealing actually, because we 310 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,120 have some quite irate immigrant gentleman in the foreground, and 311 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:35,800 then you have a grin, a grinning Marxist in the background 312 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,760 looking at all of the chaos unfolding. 313 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,720 Yeah, I think that's a really powerful image actually. 314 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,120 So who else was talking about this? 315 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,040 Reuters got in on the ACT. They actually had a quotation 316 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,560 from Joe Cardwell, who they describe as a volunteer at stand 317 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,800 up Racism. And she's basically coming out 318 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,120 and saying this is a scale of attack we have never seen 319 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,280 before. Are they really using this as an 320 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,240 opportunity to terrorise the population and to turn people 321 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,160 against each other? And it is absolutely 322 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,080 unacceptable. And it's all coming from at 323 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,280 least in part, I think this this organization stand up to racism. 324 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,560 They've been producing these signs and they clearly 325 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,640 extraordinarily well back because you don't leave that 326 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,200 much timber and print by the side of the road every weekend. 327 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,040 And they are all around the country every weekend providing 328 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,520 protesters with these signs. And that doesn't come for free, 329 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,720 right? You know, there's a lot of money 330 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,200 getting used here. Very little information about 331 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,680 them on their website. The whole thing is run on Gmail 332 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,680 accounts or they've got 50 locations around the UK, but 333 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,680 there's no formal e-mail address. 334 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,560 But then actually, when you do dig into it properly, and this 335 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,680 came from a gentleman called Sean Finch who found out that 336 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,760 actually the former president of this organization that has been 337 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,760 organising these, these these these counter protests is Diane 338 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,360 Abbott at the very senior Labour MP, Labour MP for Hackney North. 339 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,120 And and this organization is directly linked into something 340 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:13,160 called United Against Fascism, the British anti fascist group. 341 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,800 If you go to the Wikipedia page for stand up to racism, there's 342 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,000 actually nothing there. It takes you directly to this 343 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,280 organization. Heavy union linked. 344 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,160 It's Co chaired by a couple of people, including Khalha Ahmad 345 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,800 of the Muslim Council of Britain. 346 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,400 You should probably step in actually, because I found this 347 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,560 article that he wrote in 2015 which says there is nothing 348 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,840 liberal about calling for execution without regard to due 349 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,080 process is what Ricky Jones has just done at your event, Sir. 350 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,240 Anyway, it's going to keep on escalating. 351 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,480 They got a big fundraiser coming up on Saturday with Jeremy 352 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,320 Corbyn in Dalston in London. They've been active this past 353 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,280 weekend. We've got Paul Mason back out 354 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,640 outside the Reform HQ in central London with signs that we've 355 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,840 just talked about. And actually, let's go back to 356 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,320 Paul Mason because I think he's absolutely crucial in all of 357 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,200 this. So what's he talking about? 358 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,400 He wants the government to enact the full Online Safety Act with 359 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,160 no more consultations. He wants heavy censorship. 360 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,480 And who's pulling his strings? We've already talked about MI 6, 361 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,240 but maybe it's this guy in his Twitter handle. 362 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,440 Wow, Ben, thank you very much. Obviously, a lot that people 363 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,800 need to research to really understand what's causing the 364 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,160 angst and trouble in this country. 365 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,240 We've got more analysis coming up in today's news. 366 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,880 But of course, another period where people were attacked, 367 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,800 their mental health was attacked, their whole psychology 368 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,600 was attacked, was in lockdown. So welcome to today's news. 369 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,920 Diane, what have you got to tell us about the Scottish COVID 370 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,840 inquiry? Hello, Brian. 371 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,960 Ben, Thanks, Brian. Yeah, so we need to be doing 372 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,600 some coverage, I think over the next period actually about the 373 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,160 about both COVID and Currys both in the UK and in Scotland. 374 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,880 But I think Scotland in particular, they have let some 375 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,600 things slip out that maybe the government wouldn't have wanted 376 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,880 to be slipped out. But let's look at this a little 377 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,440 bit. And what I I plan to do over 378 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,920 time is some more in depth analysis of the the hearings and 379 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,760 the transcripts and the the witness statements that are 380 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,480 coming out. But we have a long way to go in 381 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,760 getting through the inquiry. So first let's look at, 382 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,280 according to the Scottish COVID Inquiry website, what is a 383 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,280 public inquiry. So we're pretty clear here that 384 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,120 it can investigate what's going on, but it is also expected to 385 00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:29,440 report on its findings and make recommendations for improvements 386 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,960 in the future. So what we're seeing here is, 387 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,240 well, next time we have a pandemic, I'll put that in 388 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520 inverted commas. We don't want this to happen 389 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,120 again. No, first, we don't. 390 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,240 So what exactly is going on with this inquiry and what are they 391 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,120 doing? If, if we look at the, the, the, 392 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600 the terms of the Scottish inquiry, you know, they've done 393 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,800 it separately from the UK inquiry. 394 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,840 And that's because ministers in Scotland had devolved powers 395 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,560 that were different in some ways or in addition to what happened 396 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,280 in the UK. And so, for example, the, the 397 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,720 administration of vaccines was, was some of it was devolved and 398 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,360 some of it was, was UK wide. For those of you who lived in 399 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:12,720 Scotland, as I did during the 2020 to 22 period, we know that 400 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,920 the restrictions were much stricter up here in Scotland 401 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,800 than they were down South, which was very, very difficult for 402 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,240 people for not for the reasons of a deadly virus, but for the 403 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,200 reasons of the isolation and the other consequences that we all 404 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,000 experienced through that time period. 405 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,440 We see in the next slide here that the inquiry is now going 406 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,080 into its next phase, even though this covers the period from 407 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,200 January 2020 to the end of 2022 for the so-called COVID period, 408 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,560 we have now just moved into our permanent hearing space in July 409 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,440 of 2024. So we're just getting started. 410 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,920 Obviously we now have a permanent home, so who knows how 411 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,520 long this is going to last for, you know, investigating what 412 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,560 happened to a small country. There are ways, if you could get 413 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,480 involved in the inquiry at different levels. 414 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,600 We see here core participants which have a wider range of 415 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,960 responsibility in terms of looking at the evidence, looking 416 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,120 at anything that's provided in advance in writing. 417 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,160 There are three themes within the inquiry. 418 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,920 The first one has just been completed the earlier this 419 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,760 summer, which is health and social care. 420 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,920 There are two more to go. So we're only about 1/3 of the 421 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,480 way through the hearings if we want to look at it that way. 422 00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:30,000 I'm interested in contributing the one in education young 423 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,280 people because I saw first hand the the detrimental terrible 424 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600 effects it had on the university students that I was directly 425 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,920 responsible for. For example, when I had to deal 426 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,040 with their their suicidal feelings, some of them were 427 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,280 wanting to take their own lives because they were stranded in 428 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,120 residence halls and I could not do anything as a a university 429 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,960 program director other than send them an e-mail address. 430 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,480 I couldn't even send them to a counseling office or even give 431 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,640 them a phone number for campus counseling services at the time. 432 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,760 So for me that was really difficult And so obviously even 433 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,560 more difficult for the students who are losing their, you know, 434 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,680 their their youth on on being locked up in in residence halls 435 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,600 and other places. But that all said, there is a a 436 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,520 man called Dave, the independent researcher. 437 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,240 His ex handle is biology phenom. So I would encourage all of you 438 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,080 to go and check out the extensive video clips and the 439 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,400 evidence that he's been collecting. 440 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,360 Unfortunately, it's really hard to summarize video clips because 441 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:31,520 there are so much of them in so many transcripts. 442 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320 But this is what I'm going to hopefully be working on over 443 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,360 time. So we have just a couple of 444 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:40,320 minutes here summarizing some of the findings from this first 445 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,800 stage of the inquiry from health and social care. 446 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,440 If we could play that video, please. 447 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,720 We anticipate the inquiry will hear that people were pressured 448 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,960 to agree to do not resuscitate notices, that people were not 449 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,480 resuscitated, even though no such notice was in place, that 450 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,920 residents may have been neglected and left to starve. 451 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,560 So yeah, he did know because it terrified him. 452 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,920 Right. And do you know if he was asked 453 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,680 once or if he was asked on a number of occasions? 454 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,680 5 * 5 * 5 times that night. Or five times within 24 hours. 455 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,640 Aye, that's what I said to him. I said to my mum's. 456 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,800 No dying of COVID. My mum's dying of starvation and 457 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,880 dehydration. By the next winter we were back 458 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,600 to square one. There was lots of people not 459 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,160 getting in. There was lots of people who 460 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,520 were. They'd really get into isolating 461 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,200 people really badly that year. I mean, that was terrible. 462 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240 There was people being isolated for people were coming in the 463 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,720 group saying my mum's been stuck in her room for 45 days. 464 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,360 I got a. Phone call from the care home to 465 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:48,400 say that my dad was failing. He was agitated. 466 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,440 He'd been shouting for help, he'd been wandering into other 467 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,480 rooms so he was still mobile. They'd found him on his hands 468 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,200 and knees trying to get to the toilet. 469 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,440 I was then told they were going to introduce end of life 470 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,480 medication which would be midazolam and if needed and 471 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,160 morphine and I was shocked. I've ascertained that the 472 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,360 sedative that she was given is one called midazolam. 473 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:18,280 That's great. And we've heard about midazolam 474 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,080 from other witnesses and I think it is associated with end of 475 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,720 life care. She was also given two other 476 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,640 drugs that were part of an end of life protocol. 477 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,560 The funeral directors was the ones that that says to me, they 478 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,760 says they used to have a thing called like a cremation form 479 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,520 four or something. If they had an issue with the 480 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,320 cause of death, which was on the death certificate, then they 481 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,760 would get in touch with us people. 482 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,600 They'd tick a box and I asked them directly, I says, if you 483 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,640 still had the forms, if they still existed today, because 484 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,480 they they'd done away with them, they stopped doing them. 485 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,840 I says, I says, would you have ticked that box to say that you, 486 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,840 you've got a concern with the cause of death of my brother's 487 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,960 death certificate? And he says to me, yes. 488 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,840 I'm personally not convinced my mum had COVID. 489 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,440 So definitely some evidence that a lot of us know, obviously 490 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800 anecdotally from what happened to us and from other people we 491 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,680 know. My father-in-law was a midazolam 492 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:24,120 death in 2021. My mother died of well she was 493 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,800 on a ventilator in 2021. I wasn't allowed to see her 494 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,440 because she died in America and I wasn't vaccinated and I 495 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,960 wouldn't test. So we know about these 496 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:38,080 detrimental effects on families and people and I'm certainly not 497 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,840 discounting anything about the what people are saying in the 498 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,680 testimonies. But I think what we do need to 499 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,080 look at is what is the actual scope of the inquiry? 500 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,920 What can an inquiry do to hold people to account for what did 501 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,720 happen other than just saying, oh, let's not do that next time? 502 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,360 And how much is it costing the Scottish taxpayers? 503 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,360 If we go to the next slide, we can see here the cost from the 504 00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:04,960 start of inquiry, assuming that was sometime in before the 31st 505 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,440 of March 2022 up until the 30th of June 2024 has been a total of 506 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,880 £26.1 million that has been spent on the inquiry. 507 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,800 And as I said, we're only about 1/3 of the way done, at least 508 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,560 when it comes to the hearings and the things that are, you 509 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,960 know, coming out of that and, and all of the work and the 510 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760 staff and so on. So I've had a lot of discussion 511 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,760 about this on X the last few days. 512 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,720 And if you would like to get involved in this conversation, 513 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,000 please follow me on X. My my ID is DIANEUKC. 514 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,080 So that's Diane. UKC. 515 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:42,120 We see some different ranges of opinions about the inquiries. 516 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,360 Alex Mitchell, who we've worked with before on the UK column, 517 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,720 has said, you know, OK, so we have such a small amount of the 518 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,360 claims for the vaccine injured both in England and in Scotland 519 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,800 that are getting awarded vaccine damage payments because the 520 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,480 vaccine damage payment scheme is so terribly limiting. 521 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,960 But yet we're spending millions on these inquiries. 522 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,720 And I've said myself, well, if we look at the fact that we know 523 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,880 that there weren't excess deaths in 2020, but the excess deaths 524 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,640 actually started once we got into the the vaccine rollout in 525 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,640 2021. And going forward, that the fact 526 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,400 that they're still calling this a pandemic inquiry investigation 527 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,120 is a problem for me because to me, it just expands the 528 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,600 narrative that there was a pandemic when we know it was 529 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,960 actually, you know, vaccine damage and isolation and 530 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,520 bedazzling and other things that actually killed people. 531 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,920 I would just like to call out again, once again, Dave, biology 532 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,840 phenom. He has a sub stack here that has 533 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,640 a lot of other, in addition to the video clips he's put on 534 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,200 Twitter. He has extensive information on 535 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,200 his sub stack as well. So I don't have time to go into 536 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,360 all of it, obviously, but I would encourage everyone to 537 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,960 check that out to see what he's actually uncovered, which has 538 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,400 been quite substantial. And again, I will continue to do 539 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,880 some formal sort of analysis of some of the transcripts and the 540 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,080 witness statements and report on those in the coming months. 541 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,960 Brian. Diane, thank you very much for 542 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,200 that excellent segment. To me, there can be no doubt 543 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,400 that the government has been attacking elderly people and 544 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,280 they've simply been cold in my opinion, and if the government 545 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,480 is prepared to do this with the elderly, they're prepared to do 546 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,000 a lot more with the younger living. 547 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,000 It is time for people in this country to really understand the 548 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,920 venom that now exists amongst politicians, many of whom simply 549 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,880 will still not tell the truth. Now, if you're with us today and 550 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,480 you like what the UK column is doing, then please do support 551 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,600 us.

We put out our material in order 560 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,600 to spread the word as far and wide as possible. 561 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,720 Facebook is still not engaging with us, but we're still 562 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,080 challenging them as to why we've been shadow banned. 563 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,560 And making a purchase from the UK column shop is always a big 564 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,600 boost for us. And of course, that shop is 565 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,600 available for for people who are members and non members. 566 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,080 Now, perhaps back onto the subject of what's happening in 567 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,760 our country tomorrow at one O clock, I've got the third 568 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,080 interview with J Michael Waller, former CIA operative and 569 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,160 counterintelligence expert. He's going to be looking in 570 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,920 particular about the Trump assassination attempt, but he 571 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,560 will also be talking about the capital riots in 2021 and the 572 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,440 subversive demise of the US intelligence services, which we 573 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,200 see a mirror of in the UK. Now. 574 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,640 A big thank you to one of our viewers who sent in this e-mail 575 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,960 pointing out that there's been changes in the way places are 576 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,920 named, or at least in the, in the the way they're described. 577 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,920 So South Wales has now become S with a small S. 578 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,320 And what the person has said is that if you follow this change 579 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,320 of language and spelling, it leads you back to EU objectives. 580 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,200 And he's particularly looking at EU policies in Objective 1-2 and 581 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,200 three. I think this particular 582 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,200 gentleman is absolutely on the bottom. 583 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,800 And perhaps the segment to follow in the news, excuse me, 584 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,400 will help people see through some of this. 585 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,520 Now, we'd also like to say that Agenda 21, Your Life in Their 586 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,800 Hands is still selling. People are very impressed with 587 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,760 this publication. So if you haven't bought 1 yet 588 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,840 and you'd like one, I suggest you get your order in as soon as 589 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,400 you can. And on the happiest side of 590 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,240 life, 23rd, 26th of August, we've got Freedom Music Festival 591 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,720 by Hope Sussex and lots of really good music in a fun four 592 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,360 day family event. So you may consider going to 593 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,880 that to meet some new friends or at least have some good 594 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,280 discussion. And also UK call them on 595 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,200 location events in Bristol for the 19th of October. 596 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,600 Early bird tickets still on sale. 597 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,320 So if you haven't got a ticket under that scheme, I suggest you 598 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,280 get on board. But we're looking forward to 599 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,800 meeting our supporters at that event in Bristol. 600 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,440 Now let's get back to the subject of the demise of UK. 601 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,080 Has this been accidental? I don't think so. 602 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,800 Let's jump all the way back to the year 2000 and the concept of 603 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,160 a new class. This is the quote and it came 604 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,080 from the Centre for Policy Studies. 605 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,440 The Prime Minister has a vision of a New Britain. 606 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,240 Central to this vision is the creation of a new Class, A new 607 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,440 elite placed in positions of authority who will propagate the 608 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:16,000 spirit of the age and spread the principles of the 3rd Way across 609 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,600 Britain. So democracy going out of the 610 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,679 window because basically Tony Blair and his colleagues will be 611 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,159 bringing in a new elite. And if you don't know what the 612 00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:29,400 3rd Way is, then I suggest you have a look at this Guardian 613 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,639 article. Credit where it's due, it's a 614 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:37,480 very good article about what the 3rd Way is and profess talking 615 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,840 about Professor Anthony Giddens, the man who helped Labour create 616 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,719 it. And if you look at the bottom 617 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,600 there, you'll see Bill Clinton is mentioned a bit. 618 00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:52,560 Now way back in 2006 we were warning about a charity that was 619 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,239 supported very strongly by the Labour Party and particularly 620 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,680 from the office of the Deputy Prime Minister. 621 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,880 This was common purpose. And what we were talking about 622 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:08,240 in 2006 was how this pernicious charity was controlling cities 623 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,640 by putting its people in the structure of the city. 624 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,480 So if we can imagine this, it's almost like a virus infecting a 625 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,560 whole level of systems from the council leaders, through chief 626 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,960 executive, through social services and into the regional 627 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,200 government offices, the government office of the 628 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,080 southwest, the regional development agencies, but also 629 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:36,440 the police, local universities, Chamber of Commerce, and yes, 630 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,080 unfortunately, people with criminal records or even 631 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,240 perversions. So that's the system taking 632 00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:46,720 control of the city. But this was a subset of a much 633 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:51,680 bigger system exerting control through the through the European 634 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,640 Union, through U KS democratic government and through all of 635 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,120 our institutions, the civil service, the public sector, the 636 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,760 quangos, the government offices of the regions, the regional 637 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,440 assemblies and the regional development agencies, plus wider 638 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,600 society and the private sector and youth and school children. 639 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,680 And if we put in Reds, the common purpose system, the thing 640 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,640 which went hand in glove with it was the use of neuro linguistics 641 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,680 and nudging so that people at every level of this pyramid of 642 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:30,120 power were coming under control of this this new system for 643 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,480 future leaders. Now if we have a look at the 644 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,400 Tories, they were pushing Big society. 645 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,280 And in his March 2010 Conservative Party conference 646 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,280 speech, Cameron announced that the Big Society was a guiding 647 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,080 philosophy, a society where the leading force for progress is 648 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,040 social responsibility, not state control. 649 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,680 It includes a whole set of unifying approaches, breaking 650 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,240 statement monopolies, allowing charity, social enterprises and 651 00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:03,360 companies to provide public services, making government more 652 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,040 accountable. Well, weasel words, because 653 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:11,080 government controls increased while the power of communities 654 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,160 has diminished. But what was important is that 655 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:19,040 Conservative Home Blogs blog site revealed that this plan is 656 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,880 directly based on the successful community organising movement 657 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,400 established by Saul Alinsky in the United States and it's 658 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:32,440 trained generations of community organizers, including President 659 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,200 Obama himself. And if we couple that with these 660 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,520 revealing quotes, which we've mentioned many times and will 661 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,440 continue to mention, this was Nicholas Bowles MP saying that 662 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,760 the Prime Minister and his deputy Nick Clegg want their 663 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,800 people power revolution to unleash chaotic effects across 664 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,600 local communities. Chaotic in our vocabulary is a 665 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,600 good thing. And he's talking about the 666 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,600 Conservative vocabulary. And if we bring in a second one 667 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,640 to reinforce this, this was Cameron's ally and one time 668 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,240 advisor, Danny Kruger. He was forced to resign as a 669 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:13,040 Tory candidate in Sedgefield after he was quoted as saying 670 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:17,480 that the Conservatives plan to introduce a period of creative 671 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,320 destruction in the public services. 672 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:26,240 So we've got Big Society with the Tories and excuse me, we've 673 00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:31,400 got the third Sector magazine here pointing out that they were 674 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,800 surprised that an organization called Locality had got a big 675 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,800 government contract to effectively been be manipulating 676 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,920 society. But it was using the ideas of 677 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:49,440 the Brazilian Paulo Friere. And they expected Citizens UK 678 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,480 that used the Solinsky method to get the contract. 679 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,200 But what we can say with certainty is that the government 680 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:01,640 was engaging non government organisations in order to use 681 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:08,320 manipulative techniques to take control of society in the UK. 682 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,160 And if you want to know more about Saul Alinsky, well here's 683 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,000 a quote. True revolutionaries do not 684 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,760 flaunt their radicalism. They cut their hair, put on 685 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,160 suits and infiltrate the system from within. 686 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,400 Think about Tony Blair, think about Keir Starmer, think about 687 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,440 Cameron, think even about Eric Pickles. 688 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,800 And let's pop him up on the screen. 689 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,320 Because this is a diagram which UK column produced many years 690 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,640 ago warning about the Tories, big society. 691 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,560 And if we bring it into focus, we'd put Saul Alinsky at the top 692 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,240 with some of the other key players. 693 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,920 But have a look at the language being used. 694 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,440 Community empowerment, National citizen service, opening up 695 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,800 public services, community first fund, social investment market, 696 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,840 social action, and they were bringing in a Commission for the 697 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,360 compact. This is all revolutionary 698 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:11,240 language and alongside it came the use of big money through big 699 00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:15,400 society capital and there were the major banks involved. 700 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,200 Let's just see if we can get this one to move on. 701 00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:23,560 On it goes, bringing in creeping state legislation and doctrine 702 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,520 to control our lives and a lot of projects. 703 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,120 The Big Lunch, Interfaith Week, a Year of Service, the Young 704 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:37,360 Advisers, Youth United, Near Neighbours and English Learning. 705 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,000 And all this was coming together in a big society network which 706 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,080 was going to bring people together in order to implement 707 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,320 the state's policy. This was nothing to do with 708 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,160 building communities. And so we were happy to label it 709 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,800 the Big Lie. And alongside this we had the 710 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,440 brainwashing which was occurring through common purpose and the 711 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,000 nudge system. And we just run through this 712 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,200 pretty quickly. But these were some of the key 713 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,040 people operating at the time. Cameron, Francis Ward, Gus 714 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,080 O'Donnell, Jeff Morgan, Julia Middleton. 715 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,840 The then chief executive of Common Purpose, Sir Bob Kerslake 716 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,200 came in. And then what do we have? 717 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,600 We had very powerful people working through the nudge unit 718 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:29,560 with French neuros specialists such as Olivier Olier from 719 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,520 France, who was part of Sarkozy's personal team, and 720 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,680 they were discussing how UK society could be manipulated. 721 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,600 All of this research is unique to the UK column. 722 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,440 Nobody has ever done this level of analysis in the attack on 723 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,960 this country. What were they after? 724 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,160 Our minds obey, as the TV says. And of course the big society 725 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,480 here largely came under the hand of Eric Pickles, the Communities 726 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,360 minister, who called himself an unlikely revolution, but stated 727 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,240 that the revolution would begin here with his good self. 728 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,360 Now alongside all of this, you need control of the media and 729 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,320 embedded and alongside the big society networks of the media 730 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,720 networks of which the public service Broad Broadcasting Trust 731 00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:25,080 is one example. Backed by the ITV, it mobilizes 732 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:29,040 individuals in large numbers to participate in civil society, 733 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,960 democracy and their local communities. 734 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,960 And using popular mass media, SBT appeals to people's 735 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:42,480 self-interest and nudges them to take positive social action. 736 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,920 I wonder if that was happening in the demonstrations that Ben 737 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,400 was talking about. But before we leave on this, 738 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,240 here's Antonio Gramsci. And he believed that, sorry, he 739 00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:58,480 was a Italian communist theories man. 740 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,720 He believes that you could bring about a revolution in the state 741 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,560 by pursuing the steady, incremental subversion of free 742 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,920 societies. And really, this is alongside 743 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,640 the same doctrine pursued by the Fabian Socialists, who chose 744 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:20,400 patient gradualism rather than violent insurrection as the most 745 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,360 effective means to collectivise society. 746 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,480 And I'll just pop this one up on the screen to end. 747 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,240 I can't give you the provenance, so I'm just taking at face 748 00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:33,720 value. But somebody sent me what was a 749 00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:37,680 clip, which they said was published by a judge back in 750 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:44,000 1954, where he said a half page of his textbook outlined a few 751 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:49,000 steps to overturn a democracy. Divide the nation, create racial 752 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,240 strife, cause distrust to the police and authority. 753 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,880 Swarm the nation's borders, engender the military strength 754 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,120 to weaken it. Overburden, Overburden citizens 755 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:06,000 with unfair taxation, encourage civil rioting and discourage 756 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,840 accountability for all crime. Control the balloting, control 757 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,560 all media. And I'll leave the audience to 758 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,280 reflect on that. But whoever wrote it, it seems 759 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,440 to be pretty pertinent. But Ben, there's worse to come 760 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,840 because we're now going to use AI in helping to nudge 761 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,560 communities into the right action. 762 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,200 We are indeed. Well, that's certainly the head 763 00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:35,440 direction that we're heading in. We're going to go to Demos, 764 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:40,040 which is I think probably right now the most influential think 765 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,160 tank in the UK. Demos was founded by Jeff Morgan 766 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,000 who Brian's just mentioned and they used to share an office 767 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,320 with Common Purpose and we obviously talk about all the 768 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,160 time here on the column. One of the things I love about 769 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,920 working with UK column is just the depth and the heritage. 770 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,440 That research was fantastic, Brian. 771 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,760 I'm going to have to watch that back a couple of times I think 772 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,400 to get all of the detail out of it. 773 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,680 But Demos are really setting the agenda now for the radical 774 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,200 corporatist left, which is basically what the Starmer 775 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,480 government has turned out to be. This is pre election. 776 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,960 This image you can see here, you've got Miriam Levin from 777 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,640 Demos, you've got Georgia Gold who at the time was the mayor of 778 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,240 Camden, She's now Labour MP for Queens Park and Maida Vale and 779 00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:25,840 she's very much a right hand lady to Keir Starmer. 780 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,440 She's always hanging around with him. 781 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,800 You also have there Lisa Witter from a political foundation who 782 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,480 are trying to execute an audacious takeover of global 783 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,520 governments and I spoke about them about a month ago on the 784 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,160 show. And then Claudia Chalice from 785 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,880 Democracy Next, I've spoken about a few times and this still 786 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:50,760 comes from a event that happened back in March, and I've taken a 787 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,640 few clips out of it, but if we could just get that back on 788 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,720 screen quickly. I just want to reinforce what 789 00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,760 you're looking at here on screen, and I can't go through 790 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,320 the connections, but I haven't got time. 791 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,360 But you're looking at the combined interests of common 792 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,560 purpose. George Soros is Open Societies, 793 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,240 the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bilderberg Group, Chatham House, 794 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,360 the Obama Foundation, and now the UK Labour Party and Her 795 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,600 Majesty's Government. That's what's happening on 796 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,640 screen right in front of you. Now, as I said, this is from 797 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,240 March. The discussion was technology 798 00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:26,000 enabled citizens assemblies to radically reshape global 799 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,360 democracy. And we're just going to hear a 800 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,680 quick introduction from Claudia Chalice from Democracy Next. 801 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,120 The way that I've been kind of approaching this work for a 802 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,600 while has been thinking about how can we really be building 803 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,040 new democratic institutions for another democratic paradigm? 804 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,280 And how does our whole mindset shift actually about what that 805 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,480 entails, what that means for power and relationships when 806 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,080 it's when it's an institution and not just a tool. 807 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,480 But I think there's pros and cons to these approaches. 808 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:59,240 So I prepared a, a few slides as well, just a little bit about 809 00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:02,000 what is democracy next and what is the work that we're doing on, 810 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,520 on these topics, our role as an international research and 811 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,480 learning hub. Because I, I completely share 812 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,240 that spirit of, of really needing to learn from what's 813 00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:13,440 working, what's not working and having that approach to, to 814 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,280 iteration and, and going off of that. 815 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,920 And then sharing from two key key bits of of work that we're 816 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,520 doing around pushing systemic change with cities and also 817 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,880 really pushing innovation for things to keep evolving with an 818 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,360 approach to employing technology within within assemblies. 819 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:37,200 So Claudia Chalice is building New Democratic institutions. 820 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,000 That is the brief that she has received. 821 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,640 I believe she's received that from Jeff Morgan via the 822 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,040 Rockefeller Foundation. I haven't got time to explain to 823 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,360 you exactly why I'm going to come down to that on a on a show 824 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,080 over the next few weeks. But that's what she's working 825 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,040 on, New Democratic institutions. And we know that Labour Party 826 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,640 policy is to get rid of the House of Lords and replace it 827 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,360 with an assembly. And that's exactly what these 828 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,640 people are working on. We're going to talk about two 829 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,560 more clips. I highly recommend going to 830 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,600 watch the whole of this hour long presentation. 831 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,680 It's absolutely critical to see this to understand what's 832 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,360 happening right now. But we're going to talk very 833 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,320 briefly about the approach to cities because this is about 834 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,440 progressing the C-40 Cities and World Economic Forum agenda 835 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,000 around urbanization. See the next clip. 836 00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:27,120 Could we change the way in which decisions related to housing and 837 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,880 infrastructure mobility get taken every time they have to be 838 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,760 taken? And so we did this work because 839 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,400 we see these sorts of issues are the same all over the world. 840 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,880 Before we launched this, we did interviews with people in 841 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,080 different countries, those different roles. 842 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,560 Actually, we spoke to some of your colleagues in Camden even I 843 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,560 remember at that stage and, and there's just a shared sense of 844 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,960 these, these problems being shared in cities around the 845 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,200 world. And we really believe that we 846 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,520 don't just need different policy solutions to these issues that 847 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,760 we're facing all over the place. We really need a different way 848 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,720 in which we're taking these decisions on an ongoing basis. 849 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,640 And these new governance models can help breakthrough deadlocks 850 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,200 and give legitimacy. So there's sometimes hard 851 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,920 choices that need to be made that require trade-offs. 852 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,840 So we can't sell our policies to people. 853 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,120 Therefore we're creating a piece of technology which would allow 854 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:23,120 us to force these policies through on the basis that they 855 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,520 just have to get on with it and trade-offs need to be made. 856 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,280 There's nothing democratic about that at all. 857 00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:33,280 This is all, as we've kind of touched on, very much technology 858 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,440 enabled, right? And they're building AI into the 859 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:42,640 entire process of selection, sortition, deliberation, 860 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,240 decision making, absolutely everything. 861 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,080 This is happening in collaboration with MIT Center 862 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,040 for Constructive Communication. We could just bring that up onto 863 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,400 screen. That would be fantastic. 864 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,320 Thank you. So you can just see here, that's 865 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,080 the end to end process that they've mapped out for how these 866 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,240 things work. And they're embedding AI into 867 00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:05,880 the green sections, right? So all the way through the 868 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,760 process, they're going to be introducing technologies to 869 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,520 nudge and usher people through the decision making process and 870 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,400 and to get them going ultimately in the right direction. 871 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,120 Right. This is what this stuff is for. 872 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,200 Now the final clip. The first thing I would 873 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,960 encourage you to do is to just in the first few seconds, watch 874 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,960 Georgia Gould's reaction when Claudia Chalice talks about 875 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,640 keeping a public record and what's going on in these 876 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,680 assemblies. It's absolutely fascinating. 877 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,040 Let's run the clip. And then the last thing is about 878 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,120 actually having a better public archive of what's happening in 879 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,960 these assemblies. Like we have public archives of 880 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,520 what happens in our, in our City Council decision making moments 881 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,560 in our parliaments, and we don't really have a proper public 882 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,560 archive of what's happening in our assembly processes. 883 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:57,120 And so this is an example of the kind of archives that the MIT 884 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,480 team has done for some of the community dialogue works. 885 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,960 But you can also again, go in and have what happened and what 886 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,760 took place rounded invoice. And we want to be working on 887 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,560 different things. Like if you have a final set of 888 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,240 recommendations, is there a way you could kind of listen to and 889 00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:16,400 see what was the initial genesis of that idea and what were parts 890 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,960 of the conversation that led to it? 891 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,640 How did people get there? So anyway, so we're working on a 892 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,040 whole bunch of different things can be done in this space, but I 893 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,520 think it's important for the, the, the kind of trustworthiness 894 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,640 of these processes and I think for the kind of history and the 895 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,840 legacy of them. And I think connected maybe to 896 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,080 to what I see as one of them bigger picture things that needs 897 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:41,240 to happen of, of moving actually to decision making assemblies. 898 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,320 And this is not about replacing politicians or, but I think that 899 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,800 if there is going to be an assembly that is commissioned, I 900 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,360 think we're actually at a place where we should experiment with 901 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,360 this being a decision making body and exploring what does 902 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,400 that mean for accountability and legitimacy. 903 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,040 And I think having a public archive of what happened in this 904 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,080 process is incredibly important when we're going in that 905 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:07,760 direction. I don't know if you saw it, but 906 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,960 Georgia Gold became very uncomfortable when it was 907 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,600 suggested that someone might want to keep a public record. 908 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,280 But we do need to keep a public record, according to Claudia 909 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,400 Chalice, because we're soon going to be seeing decision 910 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,720 making assemblies that override politicians. 911 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,800 And as far as she's concerned, and I believe everyone's sitting 912 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,040 on the on the panel there, that is the direction that we're 913 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:33,760 going in. Yes, Ben, a thought in my head 914 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,640 was, was Claudia elected to democracy next? 915 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,800 That was just a little question. Thank you for that. 916 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,000 Now, very, very quickly here I was researching the amount of 917 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:50,680 arms going to fuel the war in the Middle East, arms from UKI 918 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:56,560 came across this July House of Commons Library briefing and I 919 00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,720 got into it and I just found one sentence that really got me 920 00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:04,000 thinking. So initially here it's talking 921 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,080 about what had happened. The International Court of 922 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,440 Justice South Africa has accused Israel of international 923 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:13,480 humanitarian law violations. And as I went on through, I 924 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,440 found this. David Lammy, when Foreign 925 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,040 Secretary in 2024, called on the government to publish the legal 926 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,320 advice it had received on the granting of export licences to 927 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,760 Israel. The government resist resisted 928 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,240 such calls, saying legal advice to ministers is confidential. 929 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,920 So if you want to know what the government is capable of, 930 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,800 particularly under Mr. Starmer but also of course under 931 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,800 previous prime ministers, then the public is not going to be 932 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,120 allowed to know what legal advice they have and have not 933 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,160 had. But you would have thought if 934 00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,280 they'd have had positive legal advice to allow them in this 935 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,200 case to export arms, there would be little problem in allowing 936 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,880 the public to see what that guidance was. 937 00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:03,400 But the government wants to know every secret amongst every 938 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,200 individual in the UK but the public and not to know what the 939 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,320 government is up to. I think we know what sort of 940 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,720 government this is. It's called a dictatorship, 941 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,640 Diane, let's bring you back because if we want to talk about 942 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:23,360 where society's really got to, perhaps going to, we we need to 943 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,360 be on the subject. Well, what do we need to have a 944 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,360 look at? We need to have a look at the 945 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:34,480 games. So again, the I just I watched 946 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,360 the closing ceremony of the Olympics last night. 947 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,200 As is our tradition here at UK column, we watch and read things 948 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,920 so you don't have to. And I wanted to cover the 949 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,840 closing ceremony because the opening ceremony created so much 950 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,600 controversy for a lot of reasons. 951 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,640 And, and we heard the official stories and we, we all know what 952 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,800 we saw and, and you know what we have talked about on here. 953 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,600 So what the BBC said about the closing ceremony of the Olympics 954 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,720 was that it was sensational. It was brilliant. 955 00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:07,040 I, I even watched a bit of BBC Breakfast this morning again, so 956 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,240 you don't have to. And they talked about how sad 957 00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:12,320 they were to see it was all ended because Paris was amazing 958 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,200 and over so sad. And we can't wait until 2026 in 959 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,360 Italy in 2028, which is going to be back in the City of Angels in 960 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,840 the United States. So what I, what I did is I, I 961 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:27,880 took a little bit of video with my phone and looking at the TV 962 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,520 last night as I was watching this. 963 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,360 And so the, the, the, the vision is very dark. 964 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,800 And that was really not on purpose. 965 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,360 It just kind of came out that way, but I think it's dark 966 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,200 anyway. So basically what they said 967 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:45,240 about the artistic portion, which was created again by 968 00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:47,920 Thomas Dolly who created the opening ceremony that everyone 969 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,480 has talked about, is that this little creature here was called 970 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,120 the Golden Voyager, who is an extension of Dolly's 971 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,840 imagination. The IOC stated that a Golden 972 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:03,040 Voyager lands in a world that is desert, deserted, sorry, 973 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,520 deserted and mysterious, ready to explore. 974 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,120 This was chosen to represent the Voyager Golden Record, or the 975 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,720 record of humanity sent to space by France in 1977. 976 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,720 According to The Associated Press, The character is 977 00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:19,400 apparently a tribute to a number of references from France's 978 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,480 historical heritage, including the spirit of the Bastille, 979 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:25,400 while creatures from science fiction and video games also 980 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,200 inspire its inception. The idea behind this dystopian 981 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,560 piece? And is the games disappearing 982 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:36,200 before being reborn? So we saw this kind of all of 983 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,000 these. Eventually it came across with 984 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,440 the Olympic rings. So there was some that came down 985 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,880 from the ceiling or the top of the stadium and they came 986 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,560 together with this ring where these sort of shady characters 987 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,280 were sort of convening all in one place. 988 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:56,160 Again, officially what was was said in the mainstream media is 989 00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,040 that the character's quest sees it encountered Nike, the goddess 990 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,920 of victory which is linked to the ancient Olympic Games and it 991 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,800 takes on the features of various statues which can be seen the 992 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,680 Louvre. And the conclusion was the piece 993 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,920 seeing the Golden Voyager itself elevated by a cast of dancers 994 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,160 underneath those 5 Olympic rings before fireworks were set off. 995 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,320 So if we take a look at the next slide, these are just some still 996 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,920 images that I took that were of particular interest. 997 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,200 Again, they're very dark. You can see possibly better 998 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,480 images on social media and elsewhere. 999 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,160 But I wanted to capture these as as well as I could because I 1000 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,920 think it also focuses really well on how dark they were. 1001 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,160 Some things that I saw just from the very abstract way of, of 1002 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,600 seeing that darkness, which was actually how it looked on my 1003 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,160 television last night, was I thought I saw the Grim Reaper 1004 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:49,480 playing guitar. I I thought I saw a winged 1005 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,880 Angel, which I did, which they go into more detail. 1006 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,880 If you read the the the official story behind the mythology that 1007 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,760 it was supposedly explaining and some other sort of she 1008 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:03,480 characters and things going on pentagrams, triangles, lines. 1009 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,280 I saw red eyes come out at various points and some people. 1010 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,360 So just to ask the question, according to this so-called 1011 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,760 Golden Voyager character, if you look at the next slide, the 1012 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,640 first thing that I saw and my husband saw and Debbie Evans, 1013 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,320 who I was sort of watching this with, we all the first thing we 1014 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,920 said was Baphomet. When we saw this golden Voyager 1015 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,600 character, someone in the chat box, one of our viewers 1016 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,560 suggested Anubis, the Egyptian God of death, which I was not 1017 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,640 aware of, you know, that they both look very similar to the 1018 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,240 Golden Voyager. But I think we have to ask the 1019 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,520 question of, you know, what is it they're trying to tell us 1020 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,920 here? And, and maybe we don't, we 1021 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,240 can't say exactly what's going to happen from what we saw last 1022 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:47,880 night. But if we go back to London in 1023 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,800 2012 in the Olympics and we sort of saw how they told the story 1024 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,200 of the pandemic, pandemic again in inverted comments that was to 1025 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,120 come. What are they telling us now in 1026 00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,080 2024 is going to happen in the next few years? 1027 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,520 And what is really interesting is that the handover, which is 1028 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,200 going into the 2028 Summer Olympics, which will be in Los 1029 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,840 Angeles, we had Tom Cruise falling out of a plane about Tom 1030 00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:16,200 Cruise really looking quite old. I have to say I I liked him when 1031 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,640 I was younger. I can't say that at all anymore. 1032 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,560 And then they transferred over to Los Angeles on the beach and 1033 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,720 they had Billie Eilish, they had Doctor Dre, they had Snoop Dogg 1034 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,520 and all of these performances going on and made it look light 1035 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,240 and bright. I just really hope that, you 1036 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,280 know, we are able to reach up to 2028 when this wonderful light 1037 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,760 Olympics in the City of Angels is going to happen. 1038 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,520 But I guess we'll have to see what happens for the next three 1039 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,040 years. But based on this dystopian 1040 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,080 presentation, to me, it didn't give me a good feeling for the 1041 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:46,840 next few years. I don't know about you, Brian. 1042 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,640 Not, not at all. And I think people in our chat 1043 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,640 box have summed it up. They've described it as horrible 1044 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,080 demo, demonic and dark and somebody has said it's 1045 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,440 witchcraft. So people are clearly 1046 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,000 recognising this. But of course, these major 1047 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,560 events are promoted and funded by our own governments. 1048 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:12,000 And therefore, we must come to the conclusion that this is this 1049 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,480 type of ideology is buried inside our governments. 1050 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:20,760 Should we therefore be surprised that we're seeing an absolute 1051 01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,320 breakdown in society, a lack of human kindness? 1052 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,760 And as we've covered in today's episode, yourself, in 1053 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,840 particular, we're seeing an attack on elderly people. 1054 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:36,080 Death is now something to be encouraged, it's an active 1055 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,640 process. It's not something that is to be 1056 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:44,240 held back at all costs. So I think we're into very, very 1057 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:48,320 dark times and I'm going to end by saying, Ben, thank you very 1058 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:52,200 much for your analysis. This is exactly the in depth 1059 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:57,080 analysis we need to do in order to show people what is happening 1060 01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,960 in UK. So I hope you'll be doing more 1061 01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:02,920 along those lines. Diane, thank you for your 1062 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:07,280 segment there. For the wider audience, we are 1063 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,440 into perilous times. We are being attacked. 1064 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,440 This is very clear. Can we do something about it? 1065 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,520 Yes. It requires a lot of people to 1066 01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,560 stand up and be counted in a peaceful way. 1067 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:25,160 And I'll just end by reflecting on a a wonderful monologue Mr. 1068 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,480 Bean gave a few days ago in which he said if we want to 1069 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:34,040 counter the censorship, then we need to speak out more, not 1070 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,160 remain silent. And I think those were very good 1071 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:38,840 words. We'll leave it there. 1072 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:43,480 If you're Auk Corn member, we'll be back for UK Corn Extra in a 1073 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,800 few moments. Thank you for joining us. 1074 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:46,320 Bye bye.
