Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the 7th of July
2025, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News.
I'm your host, Brian Garish, Delighted to have Ben Rubin with
me in the studio. Welcome, Ben.
And we've also got Diane Rasmussen Baccardi joining us by
Live Link from the North of England.
Well, of course many people will remember that today is the
anniversary of the 77 London bombings and there's quite a lot
of course spread across the press and media in UK about
that. We're not going to dwell on
those sad events, but we're going to take you deeper into
the mire, which is what the UK government is up to.
And we're going to try and bring people on board with the idea
that it that it is our own government that is attacking us
and using a variety of techniques.
We're going to be having a look today at what state control is
going on and how the state tries to sell itself to the public.
We're going to be having a look at the manipulation of language.
We're going to be looking at the destruction of some of the
pillars of society. And we are also going to be
looking at the power of climate change.
But first of all, let's have a look at what the government is
actually being doing. So this is a critical one, the
use of propaganda and language control.
And there's no doubt that this is steadily increasing as time
goes on. We've also got the use of wars,
proxy war and the induced stress and fear that goes with that.
We've got promoted migration and of course it's not illegal
migration that's causing the problem, it's actually the
government's mass migration policies.
That's why they don't want you to speak about it.
We've also got destruction of the Constitution, which I've
mentioned, and we're also looking at the increasing
destabilisation of society. We've got some videos reflecting
that today. And lastly, we're going to put
the put here the attack on the minds of our children.
So this is a pretty poisonous mix.
It's just some of the things that the wider public and
communities are being subjected to in UK.
But for us, it's very clear that we are under immense attack by
the three people who should be in power to protect and look
after us and to run the country in a fair and reasonable way.
Let's just have a look at one video of how MPs like to present
themselves to the public. Are the chances of getting rid
of the two child cap now diminished?
Because this week the party failed to back the Prime
Minister's hope for reforms on welfare?
So. Simply, there is less money
around, but the decisions that have been taken in the last week
do make decisions, future decisions, harder.
But all of that said, we will look at this collectively in
terms of all of the ways that we can lift children out of
poverty. I came into politics to make
sure that where a child comes from doesn't determine what they
can go on to achieve. The mission that we're driving
across government is about making sure that background
doesn't equal success because doesn't determine success.
Because for far too many children in our country, the
family that they're born into, the town that they're born into
will absolutely determine their life chances.
So dealing with child poverty, bringing down those numbers,
making sure that all children can achieve and thrive.
So it's all lovely. That was Bridget Phillips and
Children and Women's Minister saying how the government is
doing everything for children. That's the children of course
that the government itself is not stealing and taking away
from parents. But this is how our MPs like to
present themselves as if they are squeaky clean and as if
everything they are doing is for the best of the population.
Note of course that that was ABBC interview and the backdrop
was a cartoon. And I'm going to say to the
audience that of course is not accidental.
This is the BBC playing with people's minds.
Was the words with words coming out of her mouth reality against
the cartoon backdrop. But of course the BBC is doing a
lot of things with our minds. Let's just have a look at how
their main page looked earlier today.
We had a major, major article on murder in Australia.
This is apparently so important that it's got to be plastered
all over the UK's media. We've got a brief mention of, of
course, war and death in Gaza. We've got is the UK really any
safer 20 years on from 7/7? So we can't forget 7/7 is being
brought forward in order to ramp up fear and anxiety, with the
BBC saying it can happen again. The King's telling us all to
remain calm, probably with him in post and power we shouldn't
remain calm. And then this is mixed with a
brief referral to tennis. So it's a really insane mix of
headlines and I would suggest it's done deliberately to cause
stress in people. But let's have a look at this
headline from the BBC. This is from a few days ago.
It's an article about trans troops in the US military.
And it's so long that the only way we could really get to grips
with it is to take a little video, which is scrolling
through your screen. I'm not going to let it play for
too long, but suffice to say that this is the result of four
months work by the BBC looking at trans people in the US
military who've now been told that they actually have to
conform to their own sexual norms if they're going to stay
engaged by the US military. But the BBC thinks this is an
absolute major subject. And as we'll see, this is part
of the BBC driving the change agenda.
So if I switch across to one of the team that produced it,
Sophie Easter, she talks about President Trump's signing an
order stating that being transgender is incompatible with
the rigorous standards necessary for military service.
She goes on to talk about some 4240 transgender people in the
US armed forces. And as I've said, the BBC has
spent over four months putting this article together.
But if we have a look at how many people in the US military,
we've got well over 2 million. And therefore we're talking
about a major BBC article reflecting 0.2% of the military
personnel in America. So this is a deliberate attempt
to skew people's impressions as to the importance of this
subject. But if we have a look at another
one of the BBC journalists, we've got Megan Mohan.
And if we have a look at her background, she's the Co founder
of Second Source. And if we go and look at Second
Source, we find it's was founded in order to promote awareness of
a community, training and support and work with
organisations to create change. So this is the BBC promoting a
change agenda. And in this case it's to do with
trans, but of course LGBT is a big part of it.
Let's have a look at what happens on the street when
people are now clamouring for more and more openness of the
trans agenda. And this is a little clip of the
arrest of Monty Tom's. Good afternoon, everyone.
This is East Peaks freely. And today I am out in central
London for a Pride parade that is absolutely taking over the
streets. It is huge.
Oh, there's police officers. Where are they?
There they are. So there's officers.
Following us and as you can see they they seemed pretty, they
seemed pretty keen to find a one.
Mr. Monty Toms which way we go. I don't want you to get hurt.
I don't want you to come to any kind of poll.
I appreciate that, Sir. Yeah, I'm not very intimidated
by these people and have a lovely day anyway.
Appreciate it. Appreciate your.
Curious, why do you need so many officers for this arrest?
Because there are, there are literally there are like. 11
officers here right now. Why that's?
How it works kind of the way we work, this group will be working
together. As a as.
A serial, so that's why they've come.
So there we are. This is the reality.
We've now got increasing angst and indeed breakdown on the
streets. And is this accidental?
I'm going to suggest not. This is part of the planned
change agenda which ultimately is going to transform this
country. Diane, let's bring you in with
us because of course you've been following what's been happening
in academia and libraries and the change of language,
particularly in children's books at least.
But this control of language is is absolute key to the way the
government is controlling the wider public.
Thanks very much, Brian, and hello, Ben.
It's good to be here today. I will be coming back to the
control of children's minds through language and library
books later on in the program. But first I would like to talk
about change and language and control overall.
And this starts with this conference that I attended over
the weekend, which is the Academy 2025 conference
sponsored by Ideas Matter. I went last year for the first
time, but it's kind of an academic intellectual conference
that's held every summer with themes like politics and
literature and history. Last year's theme was about the
end of submission. This year was slightly more
tearful with the theme of upheaval and asking the
question, why does politics need a new language?
And I think there are a lot of discussions over the weekend
that might have explored whether or not we actually need a new
language or, you know, kind of what is happening with language
in general. So I just want to pull out a
couple of things that I found particularly interesting from
the conference. And and then I'd like to just
reflect a bit on what I what I heard and maybe get some ideas
from Brian and Ben about this. The opening keynote speaker was
Professor Frank Freddy, who was at the conference last year.
This year's talk was called The Search for Home in an Alienated
World, and this is based on a Substack post that he he posted
on Saturday morning. And he's been working on this
idea quite a bit lately. When we talk about the idea of
what alienation means as a definition, which was originally
a Marxist term. And overtime, it's kind of, as
he said, kind of floated over into populist language.
But essentially the problem that we're facing now with this idea
of alienation in society is that the common shared reality that
we've experienced in the fairly recent past has gone away.
That we still need a shared reality, but that we're losing
that because of this strangement that we're feeling in today's
world. And that some of this seems to
come from the control of language and the imposition of
language that our governments have placed on us.
So starting in 2020, for example, we all know the new
language that came out like the techno receipt COVID language
related to things like new normal social distancing.
So it wasn't about physical distancing, although that was
part of it. The idea is that we were
supposed to be socially separate, even redefining the
term vaccine, right? We were vaccines were supposed
to originally we thought prevent something.
And then we find out that no, actually they don't prevent
anything at all when it comes to so-called COVID and so-called we
see the Trump's language, his confusion that Trump creates
with all of the overwhelming language that he uses.
And there's a lot of Trump language, including social media
posts and in other places even the term 2 tier tier has sort of
influenced highly the public opinion of Keir Starmer and what
he's done so far for his first year as Prime Minister.
And what he sort of said is that because of these language
changes, one of the things that's happened is that we're no
longer supposed to be proud of the community that we live in.
That the quest for home is a normalized thing where we used
to kind of have a sense of home, maybe whether it was where we
grew up or where we live currently, But that we can't
have that that sense of home anymore.
And we've lost cultural connection and we've lost
emotional connection to where we used to be able to say that
these are the groups of people or individual people that we
love and care about. And we're not supposed to do
that anywhere because that then excludes people.
And with this language of inclusion saying that we're
supposed to include everyone everywhere, that actually
creates isolation and a lack of a sense of community.
And he made an interesting point that the idea of discrimination,
which is basically illegal now in some ways, is that it used to
be good. It used to be good to say that
it was discriminatory to that you had made discriminating
choice or a discriminating idea about what you were doing with
the people that you associated with.
But that this imposed language leads to make us think that
discrimination is automatically bad.
Imposed language leads to this alienation because of this
forced sense of, you know, the, the, the definition of exclusion
and inclusion being inverted and so on.
All of these things that we're seeing in in corporate policies
and what the government is imposing on us in terms of hate
crime incidents and so on. So he then commented on Keir
Starmer's Island of Strangers speech, which he put out in May.
So let's take a look at this clip and then we'll talk about
it a little bit. Good morning.
I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair, and
because it is what I believe in. Let me put it this way.
Nations depend on rules. Fair rules.
Sometimes they're written down, often they're not.
But either way, they give shape to our values, guide us towards
our rights, of course, but also our responsibilities, the
obligations we owe to each other now, in a diverse nation like
ours. And I celebrate that these rules
become even more important. Without them, we risk becoming
an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward
together. So when you have an immigration
system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, that
encourages some businesses to bring in lower paid workers
rather than invest in our young people, or simply one that is
sold by politicians to the British people on an entirely
false premise, then you're not championing growth, you're not
championing justice, or however else people defend the status
quo. You're actually contributing to
the forces that are slowly pulling our country apart.
So he received some pushback from the speech and the reason
for it is because some people felt that it referenced back to
the former MP Enoch Powell's so-called Rivers of Blood speech
which he delivered to a Conservative association in
Birmingham on the 20th of April 1968.
And we'll put the full text of the speech in the show notes in
case people are not familiar with it.
But just a quote from one paragraph of the speech that
when he said it almost passes belief that at this moment, and
this was 1968, 20 or 30 additional immigrant children
are arriving from overseas in Wolverhampton alone every week.
And that means 15 or 20 additional families a decade or
two. Hence those whom the gods wish
to destroy, they first make mad. We must be mad, literally mad as
a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000
dependents who are for the most part, the material of the future
growth of the immigrant descendant population.
So Keir sort of went back on this then.
He said in June, and this is a statement from an interview, he
said I wouldn't have used those words if I had known they were
or even would be interpreted as an echo of Powell.
I had no idea, and my speech writers didn't know either.
So obviously these are not Keir's words, but he used them
and didn't even really seem to know what he was saying.
It would seem something else that I want to bring in from the
conference and I'm going to go back to this book later and
hopefully do an interview with the author.
This book is called The Memorizers and it's by a lady
from Northern Ireland called Rosemary Jenkinson.
And she was a very interesting person to speak to and she gave
me a copy of her book to read and and just to read from the
back cover. It says it's a basically a
dystopian satire fiction novel. And it says your truth is the
wrong kind of truth. And that's at the top of the
back cover. And it says it is a blistering
portrayal of World War Three and a satire on the West's current
assault on free speech. Joe, who's the main character,
is a journalist reporting from the front line of a war-torn
country. One day she wakes up in a
hospital after being caught in a drone attack.
The problem is she can't remember the story she was
covering and it has a satirical government warning on the front
right before the book starts and it says the book comes with a
Class A mental health warning. It may propagate deleterious
desires for individualism within the reader.
We can't have that on in 2025 in the UK.
It may lead to disaffection within society and whosoever
circulates this book with a view to undermining government
authority will be subject to state sanctions.
And So what are we, what are we seeing now?
Well, we're actually seeing this taking place in in real life.
If you look at just over the weekend, we saw from Angela
Rayner, our Deputy Prime Minister said that she is going
to put the banter police in your office.
And this is the headline from the Daily Mail from over the
weekend. Watch what you say by the water
cooler, The workers rights bill, precious firms to spy on
so-called inappropriate conversations.
And this is the employment rights bill, in which case
employers must try to protect their staff from harassment by
third parties. So we're seeing once again,
here's just, you know, ultimately the control of
language in your office, in your home and so on.
And, and just just to leave the segment with something that was
in my hotel room at this conference over the weekend, a
quick photo of it. We see here even the
manipulation of language even within your hotel room, because
of course, if you've been in a hotel anytime in the past few
years, you see that hotels no longer want to clean your room
or change your towels or make your bed because somehow that's
going to be bad for the environment.
So we were given 4 choices of the cards to hang up on our
front doors of our our hotel rooms.
Three of them were to donate to a charity if we chose to not
have our room cleaned. The one that I chose was to
spruce up my room. So we see that again, the green
language, the spruce, the tree, sprucing up your room.
I put that one on my front door and for whatever reason, Brian,
and then they never came to clean my room and I had to use
dirty towels on my second day there.
So I guess they were trying to force me to follow the agenda
even though I made a different choice.
So I don't know what you think of that, but it was a very
interesting weekend in a great conference.
We, Diane, well picked up because of course, yeah, we're
being manipulated everywhere we go.
Now, if we stay in a hotel, never mind what they're they're
going to say about changing towels, you're going to have the
big TV screen on the wall pumping out BBC 24 hours a day.
So this is going on everywhere. And language is the key to
control of all of us. So we've got to be very, very
aware of what the language is, how it's been used and what the
true meaning is. And a lot of people picking up
on that clip about Keir Starmer saying what an untrustworthy
Prime Minister he is. I think the word is dangerous.
Ben, let's bring you in because you've been warning and warning
over the last few months about the setting up of a new parallel
system of government our institutions undermined and
probably most people have put the NHS as one of those
institutions. Right at the centre of the
entire programme of change. Absolutely.
Good afternoon everyone. It's great to be here.
So much excitement last week as the BLOB AKA the Slaughterhouse
AKA the National Health Service issued its 10 year plan.
Much awaited. It's called Fit for the Future.
It was presented to us by these two.
Keir Starmer, Prime Minister, remarkably for a year now.
That's quite amazing. I wonder how much longer he'll
last. And also with streeting Health
Secretary. Importantly, crucially, let's
keep on pointing this out, both of them are members of the
Fabian Society. Therefore they are wolves in
sheep's clothing, wolves in sheep's clothing.
They want you to know this, they want you to understand this.
They are telegraphing to you exactly what they're about.
And the change agenda inside the NHS is all part of this attack
essentially on the British people.
Predictably, the talk is all of change and crisis.
I'll read a quick quote from the exec summary of the report that
says the choice for the NHS is stark.
Reform or die. We can continue down our current
path, making tweaks to an increasingly unsustainable
model, or we can take a new course and reimagine the NHS
through transformational change that will guarantee
sustainability for generations to come.
This plan chooses the latter. It represents a break with the
past, a complete break with the past inside the NHS in order to
deliver this government's change agenda.
It's driven by three fundamental shifts in how the NHS operates
from hospital to community, analogue to digital sickness to
prevention. I'll explain a bit more about
what those mean later on in the in the segment.
For now, let's just take a little listen to Wes Streeting
and his team about how this plan was developed.
In 2025, the government published A10 year health plan
for England. The plan outlines the changes
that need to be delivered to make the NHS fit for the future.
To understand what the public and health and care staff want
to see in the plan and inform its development, the Department
of Health and Social Care invited staff and users of the
NHS to discuss what they wanted from a future NHS.
This conversation received over 1/4 of a million contributions
from members of the public and NHS staff.
But we're kicking off the biggest conversation in the
history of the National Health Service because we can see the
scale of the crisis already taking steps to get the NHS back
on its feet. But we're also shaping A10 year
plan to make sure the NHS is fit for the future.
And I genuinely think. While we could.
Have come in as a government and impose change.
I genuinely think that change is better done with people than two
people. I also think that some of the
best ideas we'll get about how the NHS can improve will come
from the people on the front line who work in it and
crucially, the patients. Who use it?
Well, Ben, thank you for that video clip.
As I watched it, I was almost back in the little church hall
where Plymouth City Council took people for a facilitated big
conversation over the changes to local government structure.
And here we've got a facilitated a big conversation over the NHS
taking place. Facilitated everything because
they want to hear your opinion, Brian.
It's not like they've got a plan already laid out that they just
want you to agree to. OK.
So it's a national conversation, quarter of a million people
engaged apparently it's all about addressing a crisis.
And this is this is propaganda, right?
We have to understand it in those terms.
We've talked a bit about language, but let's also look at
the visuals and the setting for this film that we've just looked
at, right? So you've mentioned a village
hall and look, I've written down a bingo hall here.
That's what it looked like to me.
There was a church. And this is about making the NHS
feel authentic to the British people when it is absolutely
nothing of the sort, right? Let's hear a little bit more
from that film about how the plan was developed.
Throughout the engagement we've been supported by public
dialogue specialists, Thinks, Insight and Strategy and their
partners Kaleidoscope Health and Care and the Institute for
Public Policy Research. There were lots of different
ways for members of the public and health and care staff to
shape the plan, from the Change NHS website where everyone aged
16 and over could have their say, to workshops held by groups
and organizations and communities across the country
with people who are seldom heard in consultations of this scale.
More than 17,000 people participated in this
conversation. We also ran deliberative events
online and in person across the country, with 730 members of the
public and 3000 health and care staff supporting people from
different roles and walks in life to discuss and deliberate
key elements of the plan. This also included an event with
27 children and young people aged 7 to 18.
We consulted with NHS leaders and partner organisations to
understand their perspectives. Finally, we hosted a national
summit where almost 300 members of the public and staff from
across England came together to share their thoughts on the
future of the health service and discuss final proposals for the
10 year plan. So of course the audience
couldn't hear what I was saying while that video was playing.
But essentially I'm saying the more this lady says the the the
the less the voice of the wider public.
And the NHS is consulting 7 year olds on change in the NHS.
That about sums it up but I'd like to know what a deliberative
event is. It sounds very fascinating.
This is a complete scam. It's controlled dialogue in
order for the government to get what it wanted in the first
place. Yeah, it's smoke and mirrors.
It's about manufacturing consent.
This is an industrial process. If we can just put this up for
manufacturing consent to whatever it is, that is already
on the agenda and it's about producing quotes like this.
You can see here, this is from the from the plan.
There is a need, a real dire need to make it better now.
And it is very clear that if something radical doesn't
change, then the NHS as we know it will not be able to continue
to exist. Apparently that came from a
member of the public. Do you think they've been teed
up for that, essentially, yeah. So this is what this is about.
It's about delivering quotes like this in a highly stage
managed and controlled environment in order to
legitimize the transformation of the health service.
And in reality, this is who's been developing the plan, Right.
So actually, this came from the Health Service Journal.
And you can see here they've mapped out seven distinct
groups, four of them inside government, a bunch of people
who are external influencers, Lord Darzi at Imperial College,
Julian Hartley at CQC, Patricia Hewitt.
We've spoken about a lot recently, Mark Britton, all
former KPMG. This is who's actually creating
this policy. And these are the agenda.
This is the agenda that is designed to serve.
And all of this is pre packaged, none of it's new.
Most of this we've been reading about for at least the last five
years. The idea that the public have
influenced this in any ways, it's, it's deeply, deeply
dishonest. So what are we going to get?
First thing to know, I'll rattle through this in the interest of
time, but it's good we're spending £200 billion a year on
it, on the health service. It doesn't work.
And actually that equates to around £500 per taxpayer per
month, which I think makes the NHS your second biggest expense
behind your rent with your mortgage.
And it doesn't work. And they want to give it more
money. And I know they're talking about
changing it, but I don't trust these people to change anything,
you know, let alone a complex system like the one that we're
talking about here. So what's going to happen?
There'll be a new operating model.
Amazingly, after 75 years, they've discovered the people
are quite important. You can see in that sort of
round thing at the bottom, we're going to organise the health
system around people. Wow, this is incredible insight
that the health service. Thank you so much.
I'm glad that you did this. Hospitals, communities, We're
going to explain a little bit about those 3 trends that I
spoke about earlier. So as if we needed more NHS,
we're going to have more NHS closer to us in our communities
and importantly in our homes apparently and on our high
streets. So big shift there.
A lot of this driven by technology, huge focus on AI.
They're absolutely dead set on this single patient record.
This is an extraordinarily dangerous development.
I know this is all presented about cost saving and
efficiency, but it's not. It's about control, it's about
surveillance, the shift from sickness to to prevention.
Difficult to disagree with a lot of the things that they're
promoting here, but also difficult to give any
credibility to this when they're saying that people should be
smoking less and drinking less. But on the same time, the NHS is
rolling out things like RNA vaccines and the Zen PIC and
euthanasia and all of the other horrors that we've seen over the
past few months, with no doubt more to come, huge investments
in technology. All of this coming from external
companies in AI, data, genomics, genetic engineering.
We talked about that a couple of weeks ago, this biotechnological
industry that they're building and they are rolling this out
quickly. They talked about this idea of
the faster spread of innovation, getting the basics right, moving
these things out into the system as quickly as possible,
developing a pro innovation regulation environment from the
MHRA. Yeah.
So that that worked really well during COVID didn't.
It. Yeah, let's get stuff into.
It's a market enabler. It's not a regulator.
And finally, despite the fact that we're plowing hundreds of
billions a year of tax revenues into this, they're also still
going to be going to leverage private sector investment,
particularly around neighborhood health.
And under the Blair regime, the PPI that we paid, we paid about
£300 billion for £50 billion worth of services.
So, you know, they clearly haven't learnt their lesson.
They're doubling down. And, and my view as far as the
health system goes is that we should frankly shut the whole
thing down and start again. There are many people who say
that and I think that's a dialogue we can we can have in
the days to come. But let's get on to something
which is very important. And that's a huge thank you to
everybody who supports the UK column with a monthly membership
or, and, or making donations or purchasing through the shop,
because you are the ones that keep the UK column going.
And it's been your immense support that's allowed us to
reach next year 2026, our 20th anniversary.
So huge thank you to everybody who's making that financial
input to keep UK column going. Now, we've got an advert here
for Germ Warfare tonight at 7:00 PM and that's Andrew Treglia.
And we know that germ segments are going down extremely well.
So if you haven't seen one of those, do TuneIn.
If you have seen one, join them anyway, and that will be very
good. Now tomorrow at one 1:00, an
interview that I did with a retired journalist, Eugenie
Vernie will be going out. She is an amazing lady, talking
about a really incredible career in some of the more left wing
papers, some of the very big papers, what she saw and what
she learnt from that career. And some of the conversation is
comparing her experience during that time with what we now see
happening in the press and the media.
So watch out for that interview, which will be at 1:00 PM
tomorrow. Now, Diane, I look to you for
this 110th of July, Edinburgh. They're burning books again.
What have you got? I guess I'm giving a talk for
Common Dollars Edinburgh this Thursday evening, so if you want
to join me, please do so. And I'll be talking about a lot
of the things I've been covering about libraries the past few
months on UK column, but a lot of other topics.
When I say that they're burning books, again, the problem is
that they are literally removing books out of university
libraries, which should be free based on free speech and
academic freedom, while at the same time accusing us of burning
books in front of children that contains pornographic content
and other types of things that we don't think that we should be
seeing because it's not age appropriate.
So I'm going to be exposing the hypocrisy and some of the
ideology behind what's going on and talking about a book that
I'm actually writing on this topic.
So please, please join me on Thursday evening.
Excellent. Thank you very much for that.
We're also reminding people that of our UK column on location in
York that will be Saturday the 18th of October 2025.
We're still teasing over the release of tickets that will be
announced and we're going to encourage as many people as
possible to come to this event because if we if we have another
successful on location, we're going to look to try and
undertake our weekend event for our 20th anniversary next year.
So UK column on location in York is a very, very important event.
Lovely city, absolutely beautiful hotel.
More details on that closer to the time.
Now we've also got the regional sovereignty versus devolution
dissident meet up for the Southwest region.
That will be Sunday the 25th of July, 9:30 to 4:30.
And that's the Field of Dreams, Exeter EX49 JL, so have a look
at our show notes for more details on that.
We've also got the Threat for Truth and Freedom Beer Festival
now, quite a small event in its overall capacity, but this is
getting people to be together to swap ideas and information and
have a good time, which has got to be a good thing.
We've also got another Freedom Festival coming up which is 1st
to the 3rd of August that's in Leicester I think.
Very competitive rates there, some great speakers including
Andrew Bridgen and John O Looney, plus music and obviously
great people on the ground so you can mix and have fun and
learn. And then the Freedom Music Fest,
22nd to the 25th of August 2025 with lots of good music there as
the Bank Holiday weekend and UK column team will be there.
So where do we go from here? Well, we're going to bring your
mind back to our warnings about what the government is up to.
And in 2025, there is only one thing on the minds of the UK
Government cabinet members, and that is war.
Let's have a look at John Healy. We'll only watch a minute, a
minute of this clip. But he does get quite fired up.
It's almost like going back to the 1940s with a certain orator
who was present overseas. Let's have a listen.
The world has changed. We must responds.
The SDR is our plan for change for defence.
A plan to meet the threats we face, a plan to step up on
European security and lead in NATO.
A plan that learns the lessons from Ukraine.
A plan to seize the defence dividend from our record
increase in defence investment to boost jobs and growth
throughout the United Kingdom. And a plan to put the men and
women. Of our armed.
Forces at the heart of our defence plans A country's armed
forces are only as strong as the industry that stands behind
them. We will make defence an engine
for growth to create jobs and increase prosperity in every
nation and every region of the UK.
We will place Britain at the leading edge of innovation in
NATO. We will double investment into
autonomous systems. This Parliament, we will invest
more than a billion pounds to integrate our armed forces
through a new digital targeting web.
And we will finance a £400 million UK.
Defence innovation organized. Well, there we are.
John Healy gets more and more excited, the music gets louder.
The drive for war is greater and greater.
But don't worry because the minimum you're going to get out
of it is a proper job. So really incredible to watch
this propaganda coming out not only Downing Street but through
the Ministry of Defence's propaganda machine known as
Defence HQ. Truly appalling rhetoric by the
Defence Minister which is all about the beauties of war.
Let's have a listen now to George Mumbio talking about
Palestine action and how he really sees the agenda which the
present government has been ramping up.
Making this video could get me 14 years in prison.
In fact, if you share this video, potentially you could get
14 years in prison as well, because this video expresses
support for Palestine action. You can blow the limbs off a
child, fine, no trouble at all. You can directly and
deliberately target journalists, academics, You can blow up
entire families. You can target people who are
queuing for food aid. You can do what the hell you
like and you will not be condemned by this government.
But spray a bit of paint on some war planes, on some weapons of
war, and that paint that becomes a true weapon of war, that
becomes a true aggression, that becomes, in Yvette Cooper's
words, the disgraceful attack. Yvette Cooper, the Home
Secretary of the United Kingdom, she has never used those words,
a disgraceful attack about any of the things that the Israeli
government has done to the Palestinians.
Every day it murders, it maims in total defiance of
international law. And she has never once used the
term disgraceful attack about any of that or any term like it.
In fact, far from it. She's happy to be photographed
with the Israeli ambassador. Great mates, great mates with
the representative of a government who is.
Right. At this moment, committing.
Genocide. So to me, that seemed a pretty
straightforward opinion. On one hand, we've got a
government spending and spending and spending for war and
bloodshed. But if you dare criticise and
take any action, then you're going to be labeled as a
terrorist. And of course, free speech is
going to be shut down. So quite a brave statement by
that journalist. But what else are we seeing?
Well, of course we're now seeing the angst spillover onto the
streets and this is just a few clips from a Palestine
demonstration taking place. Of course, massive police
support and they, they then end up arresting some, I think
fairly elderly people who presumably the government now
thinks is a, a threat to the nation state.
I notice, of course, the amount of gear these police have got on
compared to our police evolved with their truncheon.
We've now got the Tasers and the handcuffs and the the radios and
the sprays and of course, very, very aggressive policing.
So do they really need to cart this elderly lady off in this
manner? And then she's asked as she gets
up into the van if she's happy to be searched.
So if that's one level of protest going on, let's see how
immigration is ramping up trouble on the streets by having
a look at what's been happening in Ireland, Prophet.
Muhammad, your war Lord, has the power here.
And who's God? Jesus.
So you have not come here and dominate and walk and disrespect
us and our churches and our national monuments.
You will respect the Irish people.
Well, of course the the migrants present in in Ireland didn't
invade, they didn't fight their way ashore.
They were invited in by Irish politicians as part of the of
the United correction, the E US overall migration policy.
And this is the truth of the matter.
The trouble on the streets being created by our own government's
policies. People need to remember this.
Now let's have a look at the wars, because of course, the
government here still absolutely supporting everything Ukraine
does. We support it.
We help fund the killing machine.
But this is yet another of those nasty little clips about what's
happening on the streets as the Ukrainians round up young men,
bundle them into cars in order to take them off, to die at the
front. Watch the brutality here when
this mother tries to intervene. So the reports in this little
posted video is that Zelensky's doing awful things and
Ukrainians hate him. But of course you're not going
to hear that from the West or the UK.
And if we have a look at the propaganda coming out from
Defence HQ, we've talked about this sort of thing before, but
here we've got basically the idea that the Russians have
kidnapped all the Ukrainian children in their thousands and
thousands and they've never been given back.
Whereas of course we've heard clear statements from the
Russian side that they've asked for lists of these supposedly
missing children. And of course, nothing ever
comes back from the Ukrainian side.
But Ben, appalling propaganda here.
And I think it's it's pretty sickening.
So that's just a little summary of the sorts of things that the
UK government is getting up to. It is our own government that's
attacking us. And if you can't understand what
a policy is really doing or designed to do, try putting your
mind over to the side that we are being attacked.
And very often you will start to understand what's actually being
done. Diane, that brings you back to
manipulation and I think things in the direction of our
children. What have you got to report?
Yeah, Thanks, Brad. So this is a little bit more on
the libraries. This was a thanks to Kathy Mudge
of Protect and Teach who's been on UK column with me previously
working really hard to expose the indoctrination of children
throughout England and she tagged me in this post that was
on X that showed ABBC article. The headline on Friday the 4th
when it was first posted on BBC website was trans books banned
in children's library sections. I do want to remind everyone
that there are no banned books in the UK but there are
potentially collected decisions that can be made for age
appropriateness libraries which is very different.
The same article on the same link on Sunday, when I looked at
it again had a completely different headline at this
point. The headline was backlash as
Reformed claims trans books removed from children's library
section. Well, so the Guardian was also
reporting on this story and what that said in their headline was
that a Reform counselor's boast about removing trans ideological
books from children's library sections falls flat.
Paul Webb, who's a Reform UK counselor welcome back to In a
Moment, said he ensured books and material were pulled from
children's section of tent libraries, but it emerged as
they were never there. Well, big surprise, all of this
was actually misleading when we look at the headlines that were
put on these mainstream sources. So I want to look at what
actually was posted and what actually happened in the library
based on what I was able to find out.
Paul Webb, according to the BBC, is Reform U KS Communities
portfolio holder who overseas libraries.
He said that the alleged removal of transgender related books
from the children's section of the libraries in Kent came after
a quote concerned member of the public contacted him about what
he's what was seen in a particular library in Kent.
So Paul Webb posted this video on his ex account.
Good evening everybody. Paul Webb here.
Your Reform UK Cabinet member for communities and regulatory
services at Kent County Council I was recently contacted by a
concerned. Member of the.
Public who found trans ideological material and books
in the children's section of one of our libraries.
I've looked into this and this was the case.
I've today issued instruction for them all to be removed from
the children's section of any of our libraries.
They do not belong in the children's section of our
libraries. Our children do not need to be
told they were born in the wrong.
Bodies. So from today, this will stop.
Thank you very much. So Linda Linden, Kim Kram, I
hope I'm saying that name correctly, is Kent County
Council's Reform UK leader who reposted that video and said
that, you know, this is great news, Paul Webb is doing
wonderful work, etcetera. And I showed this photo here
from the library where this was found showing the book that was
at the on the display. But then you see a little bit of
pushback from this other account where it's, it's basically sort
of trying to expose they, they think Reform UK.
Whether or not this is actually the case or if it's just some
another form of activism, I'm not sure.
But this account said that counselor Paul Webb has openly
lied as a counselor of breach of the code of conduct.
According to this account, the books they said removed from
children's sections were not in a children's section.
And so you can see the photos here.
And then they went on to say where this library was.
It was was a library in Kent County Council, but that the
shelving was not in the children's section.
It was in a display area. So this particular book that was
being discussed is called the Autistic Trans Guide to Life,
which is classified in the adult nonfiction section of the
library according to the library catalog.
The issue here however, is that I would say that everyone is a
bit being a bit misleading about this because the book was on
display at the entrance to this particular library in Kent
County Council during pride month, of course during June
when a lot of this all gets all put out on display.
But that of course means that anyone of any age who walked in
the library would see it at the entrance because it wasn't in
the children's section, even though, and even though it was
officially classified and shelved in the adult nonfiction
section, any child who walked in could potentially walk in and,
and want to look at the book. And I don't have access to the
entire book itself, but I did find some preview pages of it
from looking online. And it is very confusing for
anyone, including any child who would happen to pick this up.
And it's got definitions in it such as neutroi.
NEUTROI describes a person who identifies as neutral or having
no gender, being neither male or female.
This can be associated with gender dysphoria or not.
Gender fluid is an identity under the non binary and trans
umbrella. That means a gender is fluid and
can change. There's another one.
Pan gender means identifying as more than one gender.
Pan gender people may be all genders.
Not quite sure how that works biologically.
Or both. The binary genders of male and
female pan gender people often use they them pronouns.
So that is what's you know, even if it is classified in the adult
section that was at the entrance to the library.
And so I decided to take a look a little bit more into the Kent
County Council library catalog to see what is actually being
classified under trans because I know for a fact that libraries
all over the country are doing this.
And so I just pulled up two examples here from the catalog
in Kent County Council 1 is a book called Beyond Magenta
Transgender Teens Speak Out where this woman, Susan, she
interviewed trans young people, basically transgender or gender
neutral young adults, and talked about how to represent them.
And what we see here under the subject section of the library
catalog record the subject heading, which is the official
sort of classification based on keywords and terms that are
assigned from a an official vocabulary that libraries use
all over is transgender youth, United States juvenile
literature, transgender children, juvenile literature.
So juvenile literature means in this case as well as teenage
nonfiction, that it would in fact be placed in the the
children's section of the library and another one for for
very young children. When Leonard lost his spots a
transparent trail. That's not the word transparent,
that's transparent 2 separate words.
What happens when a beautiful lioness discovers she was born
in the body of a male leopard? The family is shocked.
The transition begins and an amazing story unfolds, narrated
by a young cub when Leonard lost his spots in a sensitively
crafted story that exemplifies how open communication can pave
the way to acceptance in an ever changing world.
Join Leonard, Leona and Cub on this unique journey.
And again, here we see the subjects are listed as
transgender parents under juvenile literature,
transsexuals, juvenile literature, children of
transgender parents, juvenile literature, and children of
transsexual parents juvenile literature.
And, and so again, these are just two examples and I'm sure
there are many, many more in County Council and in libraries
across the country where there are these sort of trans books
already want to call them being placed in front of children.
So I think that both the BBC and the Guardian were being very
disingenuous and saying, oh, this isn't actually a children's
book, that there's no such thing and this is all a lie and Reform
is lying and so on. But I'm going to continue to
investigate this and I have at least one meeting set up with
one Reform UK counselor to talk about what's going on.
And hopefully, I'll have some following reporting on this next
week, Brian. Diane, thank you very much.
And your report having an effect on our audience, as we can see
from the chat box, people picking up how really, really
dangerous this is and of course, how vulnerable the children are.
So please keep up your research and we will continue to keep
warning about what's happening. Anybody who's tackling this,
doesn't matter what party you're associated with, if you start to
do the right thing, then you deserve support.
So well done, anybody who is out there trying to stop this
pernicious agenda attacking the minds of children.
Now let's just hop across onto the subject of climate change
and CO2. But I just have to bring in a
reference again to Sophie Esta, who's the freelance journalist
who was involved in that massive BBC piece on transgender in the
US military. Because what I discovered is
that she'd also done this Sounds audio interview, which is about
the production of CO2 and the worsening of climate change as a
result of war. So nothing from the BBC over the
millions of dead and wounded in Ukraine.
They're just worried about how much CO2 has been produced from
the explosions. Quite sickening Ben, but take us
away with a deeper look into matters climate change.
Absolutely. It's unsurprising, but certainly
sickening. So we're going to have a little
look at the, the climate gravy train and, uh, we're going to
focus on London and the, the, the last weeks of June actually,
because London Climate Action Week touched down.
And as you can see here, the United Nations Sustainable
Development goals arrayed there in the centre, telling us what
this is really all about, right. So this is the UN, the World
Economic Forum, the global public private partnership, the
partnership between money and power.
What is driving the climate agenda?
And this was overseen by this gentleman Mette Chauban MBE,
Deputy Mayor of London for Environment and Energy, who was
saying I'm incredibly proud to have overseen the biggest ever
London Climate Action Week with over 700 events over the week
and 45,000 people engaged, right?
That is absolutely astonishing and regular viewers will be
familiar with Choban because we first came across him just over
2 years ago now as he was the Co host of this event with Tony
Blair and his institute talking about the future of Britain with
Tony Blair and Cobain as Co host.
It's a remarkable accolade for a young man in his early 30s to be
put up there alongside Tony Blair, basically laid out their
vision for the future of the country.
And Keir Starmer, then Leader of the Opposition, basically turned
off at the end of the day and said yes, I agree with what Tony
said and that tells you a lot about where the agenda is coming
from. And then we uncovered My Life,
my Say, the youth charity, which is being used to radicalise the
nation's young people, to align them with the global
technocratic agenda, to manufacture consent to all of
these changes that are happening across our society and our
economic and our political systems.
That was essentially teed up by the US State Department, MI6,
NCS. You've got David Cameron sitting
there in the background of the National Citizen Service UK
youth, which is overseen by Princess and two branches of the
Rothschild family, Tortoise Media, Meti Choban sitting there
in the middle of all of this now overseeing the showpiece London
event for climate change. If that doesn't explain to you
what's really going on here, then I don't know what will, to
be honest with you. We'll.
Keep pushing it. Yeah, we've got to look at look
what's going on everybody, and where best for us to go to get
some insight into the shiny happy people of the climate
agenda than to Gold's house and Freud's communications.
Let's have a little look at what happened on the day.
Top of mind for me at London Climate Action Week is speed and
scale. We've got 750 events with
thousands and thousands of people here, all with their
sleeves rolled up, ready to work, looking for solutions.
So much innovation. I'm hopeful because we've got
all the component pieces, we've just got to put them together
differently. Real climate leadership for me
looks like ensuring we deliver what we actually committed to
do, so we go from promises to practices.
And all of us. Playing our role in this, we can
get there. We need to hurry up.
A sense of urgency I think is really, really important.
We have the solutions to a really great way of life.
Actually, a lot of things that tackle climate change are the
things that give us better lives.
I think there. Is a desire among people that I
know for new ideas. And new solutions and.
New imaginings of what could be. Welcome to Freud.
And it's great to be here and it's so important that we're
meeting this week, finding the solutions to the biggest
challenge facing our planet. So lots of food and music and
good times in order for them to help people who are not
experiencing the food and the music and the good times.
Right. Exactly.
Yeah, yeah. New imaginings of what could be.
I mean, and, and, and this is all, this is all narrative,
right? Really.
Crucially, we talked about the BBCA moment ago.
This is what they called their, their, their, their events.
It's about rewriting the climate story.
This is all story. It's not based on anything, it's
just made-up and we don't have time to go for all the people
that we saw in the video, but this lady jumped out at me.
This is Tangam Debonair, who is a Baroness, sits in the House of
Lords and she was very keen for us.
Just hurry up because the good life lives at the end of all of
these climate innovations, apparently.
And this roots is right into the into the the seat of power in in
the UK. She actually is the chair, I
believe of the Labour women's network.
And you can see here, sisters, what a team.
She's the brilliant executive committee.
You can actually see she's wearing the same dress.
So maybe this was actually on the same day.
Saving the CO2. Well, it could be that too, who
knows? And actually the the the ladies
bit is really important, right, because this is being driven
primarily by women, right? It really is.
And then we can see a few more examples here.
So this is from the Imagine Leaders Network I spoke about
last year. I could provide some links.
You can see we've been talking about this for over 12 months
now. We can see there's Pat Mitchell
who is on the right hand side in the yellow, who is the founder
of the Connected Women Leaders Network that we spoke about
earlier on this year and one of the Co founders of Project
Dandelion. So you can see the dandelion
there on a little natty yellow jacket.
And Imagine is is run by this lady.
This is Valerie Keller, who is also a young global leader of
the World Economic Forum. And they love wearing these
jaunty little hats and feathers. The Imagine crew.
This is the sort of their little thing that they do, you know,
it's just sort of climate meets high fashion, you know, And this
is this is the kind of absurd world that these people live in.
And Imagine is overseen by Paul Pullman.
You can see him bottom left, who is, amongst many other things, a
trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation.
All right, so this is the these are the self-proclaimed global
elite, the well heeled gilded special ones who float around in
the stratosphere making decisions that are going to
transform the lives of everyone else on earth while getting paid
enormous amounts of money to do it.
All right, crazy. Also we had importantly is we
and there we saw Rachel Kite is the UN special representative on
climate change was also in that goals house video.
Mary Robinson, who's chair of the elders also founded the
dandelions wearing her dandelions.
She was at the easy thing. This was all paid for by the
welcome collection by the way. So a lot of the money flowing
into this is from charitable foundations, philanthropic
wealth. Sondre indecent declare from the
club of Rome's there again really reinforcing the point.
Let's have a look at that badge she's got on Boom.
Women are leading the new climate revolution, right?
They're telling you women are leading the new client climate
revolution. And This is why increasingly
we're not allowed to criticize women.
If you criticize these people, then you're a misogynist.
It's hateful. And that's how they're shutting
down debate around these unbelievably important issues as
it relates to the future of the the whole of humanity.
Right. And, and Dandelions in
particular talk about the fact that they want to make every
issue a climate issue and they want to turn every woman on
earth into a climate activist. Yeah, they're not messing around
here. Importantly is we, as I said,
are involved. Why is that important?
Couple of reasons. First one is that they run these
participatory processes. So again, as we talked about in
the NHS segment, this is about manufacturing consent to
preconceived outcomes. They're running this global
assembly for COP and ultimately is an essential that the UN, but
they're also active on the ground in the UK, most notably
through partnership with this organisation called Community
Organisers, which I'm going to I'll provide some links.
You can go and have a look at a recent session that they they
held together talking about local democracy in the UK and
the Community organisers were first written about on the UK
column back in 2013. And it was started as a four
year national training programme in 2011, designed and run by
locality who are directly linked to Common Purpose and funded by
the Cabinet Office, who are all trained by Common Purpose under
David Cameron. Which takes us back into the
early days of the column. You know, so this is running on
the rails of a political transformation that has been put
in place 1015 nearly 20 years ago.
And regenerate I saw was part of that as.
Well, yes, they were, Yes. Major organization, right?
We must end our news now. We never have enough time to get
into all of the detail of these things, but we are desperately
trying to get people to focus on the drivers of what's happening,
the dangers of change in UK and we've covered a lot of ground
today. Let's just end on a bit of black
humour. Diane, over to you.
Should be really, really afraid because there's a new
Frankenstein variance of COVID that's circulating around the
country. It's also known as XBG or
Stratus or NB 181 depending on who you ask.
But apparently, according to a dermatologist who owns a skin
clinic, it's it carries. It's the descendant of the JN
One Omnicron sub variant and carries several mutations in its
spike protein, enhancing its ability to bind to human
receptors and potentially evade immunity from previous
infections or vaccinations. And it says it's highly
contagious. However, it also says, according
to one article, many people may not realize that they even have
Covad. But for those displaying
symptoms, you might actually get a sore throat.
So be careful, Brian. Then you might get a sore
throat, you might get a Frankenstein virus.
And then I don't know what happened.
Be afraid, be very afraid. Or maybe not.
We must end there. And thank you very much for
joining me, Diane. Thank you for all our members of
UK column. We'll be back for UK Column
EXTRA in just a few minutes. For the rest of the viewers,
wherever you are in the world, thank you so much for joining
us. Join us again for the news on
Wednesday. We'll be back then at 1:00.
See you then. Bye bye.
