Good afternoon, today is Monday the 4th of August 2025, just
after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News.
I'm your host Brian Garish, delighted to have with me in the
studio. Ben Rubin.
Welcome back, Ben. What's it like arriving in
Plymouth after spending a couple of weeks in London?
Joyous. Joyous fresh air.
Yes. And we're also joined by Diane
Rasmussen Mcaddy, who is on live link from the North of England.
So welcome, Diane. Now we've got some pretty packed
news today because a lot's been going on not only over the last
few days but over the weekend. And of course, the immigration
migrant issue is very, very high on the agenda with lots of film
clip by the mainstream press or pointing a finger at anybody who
dares to challenge the immigration numbers or the
manner in which the immigration policies are being carried out.
We are going to cover quite a bit of this because we the
people NE were kind enough to let us have some film footage of
the protests in Newcastle. So we're going to be looking at
migration and in that section where we'll be showing some of
the opinion for people who are essentially supportive of the
migrants, some of the people who are clearly very worried with
what's going on, and an interesting gentleman who was
calling for dialogue, which seems to us to be pretty
sensible. And now we're also going to have
a look at the crackdown on nationalism.
And Ben, you're beginning to focus in on the fact that
anybody who dares challenge the government is being labelled as
a dangerous nationalist. We've got a really packed
section on ads and emails. And we're also going to be
having a look at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Now, Diane is spending quite a bit of time out looking at arts
and culture. And this is because arts and
culture are being used as one of the key mediums through which
the government is attacking people's minds, not only through
the woke agenda, but of course with productions which are very
often targeted at young minds, the minds of children.
So today's news is going to be, as usual, quite heavy.
But this reflects what's happening in UK.
And if the ordinary man and woman in the street is to be
able to fight what is happening, we all have to be able to
understand what's happening and we have to be able to see what's
happening. So, Diane, let's kick off with
just the advert for that Newcastle protest and a little
bit on how the press have reported.
I think we might have, I think we've temporarily lost iron
there. Not, not, not to worry.
This is the Keys slide which we wanted to put up, which is the
original advert for the Great British National Protest Hotel
confirmed the new Bridge Hotel Newcastle.
And this was 1:00 on Saturday the 2nd of August.
And of course, true to form, the mainstream Press of course came
out with headlines such as this. Let's just move forward there.
23 pictures as protesters clash in Newcastle city centre over
asylum hotels. And then of course on the right
we've got flags and four arrested after anti migrant
encounter protests clash outside the hotel.
So the mainstream media loves the violence.
I'm just checking Diane, if we got you back with us.
Yes, thanks, Brian. I'm here now.
It must be the windy weather out there today that's interfering
with the broadcast. So I guess it's just worth
noting, as you said, the mainstream media coverage about
this and the the coverage of the different protests around the
country have been quite interesting to see what they're
saying about this. And, and what I want to just
notice just a little bit about this before we go on to the
footage that we are about to share with you today in the
news. It's really interesting to look
at that, that coverage from the The Chronicle, the Newcastle
Chronicle, because there's two sets of organisers basically,
and there's the counter protest organisers, which we'll probably
see in the clips are are quite organised and premeditated.
And the quote for example from them that was mentioned in this
article, the organisers said quote yet again.
Far right and fascist thugs are intent on bringing their message
of hate to Newcastle. They aim to build on years of
Islamophobia, anti migrant settlements or sentiment, sorry
and scapegoating. In Epping and elsewhere recently
we have already seen intimidation and violence aimed
at refugees, migrants and asylum seekers.
Newcastle, like the rest of the northeast, has a well learned
reputation for unity in the face of those who seek to divide us.
Whatever problems we face, racism and division are not the
answer. So that is from the, again, the
counter protest group, which we will see was actually well
organised. So with that, I would like to
say that thank you very much to the people that work with the
Rumble channel called We the People Northeast.
They have a very successful channel that they've run for
several years on Rumble and we'll put a link to their
channel and show notes. And we have UK column
exclusives, direct exclusives directly from them that they
sent to me over the weekend. So Brian, I don't know if you
want to introduce the first clip and we can talk through these a
bit as we go through. But lovely.
Well, this is the first clip. This is just an overview of part
of the protest, but you can see some very interesting things.
Not least pay attention to people wearing masks.
The. Media are instigating.
And the doom, the similator, the doom that cause the.
But it's usually because they should put.
Minority, you thoughtless independent media.
Excuse me, You're handing out signs, Yes?
Would you like to answer? Put the questions independent
media, sorry, independent media, sorry upon work purposes.
Will this happen or will they continue to align themselves
with Labour politicians, with the Labor Party, and continue to
cover up and try to reform and enable?
Their racism. So whatever local people felt,
there was this well organised counter protest where people are
allowed to be fully masked, banners are freely available,
although the gentleman giving them out didn't really want to
talk to the camera as to what he was doing.
And then of course the young lady, I'm sure well intentioned
but full of rhetoric about what was happening and it was all
racism. And as we will hear in further
video clips, a lot of it is deemed to be far right, far
right input. So, Ben, just for me to see
people in masks when clearly the police have said many, many
times they're not going to tolerate people being masked up.
This appears to me at least, to be part of what I'm going to
call 22 tier policing. It's certainly 2 tier policing.
I think a lot of those people are just cowards to be honest
with you. If you've got an opinion, get
out on the street and in front it up yourself, you know, and
also you, a lot of these people have just busted in.
So you have local communities out protesting and then these
people turn up a lot of the time ushered in by the police and
they're from out of the area, yes.
So there's nothing organic about this at all.
And the masking is just one way of disguising who they are and
where they come from, ultimately.
Indeed. OK.
Well, Diane, don't know whether you've got anything to add to
that very, very quickly. Yeah, One thing that I thought
was particularly interesting was the the lady with the red hair
talking about the racism is that basically that she's saying that
the Labor Party itself is racist when it when it, which is
interesting because they're the ones who are obviously in charge
and and supporting all of this going on.
I thought that was particularly interesting as well as the idea
of the the people with the masks.
Again, why is that allowed when that is clearly against the laws
in this country to do so in a protest?
Yeah, indeed. Well, let's look at clip 2 here
and we've got 2 ladies who are basically in support of the
migrants. Nation states aren't like
businesses. That's not that's not how that
works. That's not household, but that's
a household budget argument, which is a fallacy because
countries are not businesses, you know, are they not?
They're nation states. They're not businesses.
You don't know what you're going to.
You're not going to. You don't know.
You don't know as a country what's going to happen tomorrow.
But if I run a business or a household and I know how much
money is coming in and I have much money, I've got on.
Schemes. And I can slave and I can make
decisions. And if I start, I can raise.
My countries don't behave like that.
That's not now, but. We're, we're with the kind of
the, the people that are trying to protect the, the hotel and
the people in it from being from damage and from being
frightened. Because having that sort of
protest outside the place that you're having to live is really
scary for people and it scars them.
And a lot of them have had a very hard time getting here in
the 1st place and don't need it. So that's why we're why we're
here. But I think that a lot of people
on the other side have genuine concerns.
They have genuine worries. They need to be heard and they
don't feel heard. And so that that's a problem.
That's a problem for us all. We need to do a little bit more
listening to one another and hearing because actually we've
probably got way more in common. I think that there are some
active far right racists taking advantage of that unhappiness
and that feeling not heard. And that's that's a problem for
all of us as well, because the far right getting a a foothold
benefits none of us. They are on none of our sides.
Diane, I thought this was interesting because those two
ladies, OK, they're in support of the migrants and they they're
worried about are they safe with the demonstration going on?
But at least they got to the point of saying that they
recognise that other people are worried because they feel they
don't have a voice. So I thought that was a very
interesting statement. Yeah, I thought it was very
interesting. And the other thing to to note
is that when they were talking about the migrants particularly
not feeling safe, I also wanted to say that as I'm not sure, we
might have some other footage as well.
I'm not sure if we'll show it here in the main news or at some
other point. But people talking about how
they don't feel safe because the migrants are present, because
they don't know if these people have been background checked and
vetted and who are they and so on.
So I think there's this is something they're doing to
increase the fear on both sides of the arguments, I think,
Brian. Indeed, and a lot of people
using what I'm going to describe as learnt will learnt language.
It's language which they've heard on the BBC and therefore
they put it in black and white. It's left wing or right wing
racism. So very interesting to see the
programming. Let's listen to this gentleman
who is also for the migrants. What would you say to the
accusation that most of these hotels are populated by fighting
aged men without families? Well, I don't know whose fault
that is. That must be the government
who's chosen to do that. But why?
Why would they even do it? I mean these people not.
Bring their families. If they're if they're coming
from from like a war zone or or financial problems or why would
they not bring the families? Well, really, you'd have to ask
them that. I don't.
Know, but I would imagine it's quite dangerous to get out of
some of these places. So they maybe they expect their
families to join them if they have families, maybe their
families are being killed, who knows?
I don't know the answer to that. You'd have to ask some of them.
A good thing for you to do would be to interview some of the
asylum seekers and that would be great if Yeah, I do.
It would be good. I get their stories.
Bennett seems to me this is another very reasonable
individual. This gentleman is very
reasonable in what he's saying, but he's freely admitting that
he doesn't really understand what's happening in in the whole
migration agenda. Go and go and talk to the
migrants. I would say talk to the migrants
by all means, but let's be talking to Keir Starmer and the
rest of the politicians over the years that have created this
mess on the streets. Completely agree with you.
OK.
So we're now going to switch to dial dialogue from other members
of the public who had concerns and I've had to use the clips
that I've been provided. So there is a little bit more
footage on one side than the other.
Nevertheless, we are trying to give our audience both sides of
comment around this particular protest.
Let's listen to what this lady has to say.
I'm just trying to get a get a view from their different sides.
How do you feel about the situation at the moment?
What's brought you here to view? Me kids and me grandkids, I'm
like, scared for them. You're scared to walk on the
street. You're scared to come into town,
right? Yeah, it's not right.
I mean, after all, today, if if you're running from a wall or
you're scared, you take your family with you.
And it just shows what they think of women and children.
They've left them all behind. They've come here, they laugh
at, well, they're working illegally.
They get everything. And like we've all worked all
their lives and you, you, I'm retired now, but I kind of get,
not that I want to claim benefits, but I kind of get
nothing if I want, if I needed it.
But these people seem to get everything and everyone you
speak to just once that we want to border control.
We want the borders controlled. And that's simple as if they're
legal, they shouldn't be getting anything that should be getting
thrown out. The lie, the lie through the
teeth. But these people believe them.
This is all right. How would you respond to them if
preferred? Called the racist, which they
undoubtedly would. That word's just been thrown out
there because it's an easy, it's an easy 1 to get people into
trouble or whatever, but it's not to silence.
And we're getting silenced all the time.
You're scared to do anything, You're scared to say anything.
And I don't think I never even thought of racism until all this
started. And I think more people are, are
saying, well, I've got friends from every colour, every
religion, every thinking. We've been friends for years and
you know what I mean? They're good friends.
But these people aren't our friends.
They don't believe what we believe.
So some interesting points there.
The key thing that came across to me is that she feels silent.
She's being censored for having any concerns and for speaking
out and this is a very dangerous place to be because of course
the anxiety and the stress increases, but clearly she she's
worried about what is happening. Ben, I don't know whether you've
got any comment on that I. Thought she was fantastic, very
reasonable, level headed, not no issues with what she said there
at all. But of course, she and many
thousands and thousands of other people like her don't have a
voice. Diane, I'll bring you in after
this next clip, but this is a lady that makes a very astute
statement about Palestine. Hello.
So we're we're interested in both sides of this argument.
So just wondering what's brought you here today?
I'm here for my children, my grandchildren and for women,
right? This is about Palestine.
They're shouting about Palestine.
It's not about Palestine. This is for the people of this
country, the women and the children.
That's who it's for. So what's the problem that the
women and the children are facing?
Because they're letting the Lord of migrants in on boards which
will know who they are. They haven't got passports.
We don't know whether they've done anything wrong.
They could be murderers, rapists, and that's what's
happened in this country. But they, they tell us that
they're culturally enriching us by the, the, the doctors and
lawyers and whatnot and, and. There's no doctors and lawyers
coming in on them boats. There's no way there's doctors
and lawyers coming in the boats. There's no.
So. What what about the idea that
they're only fighting aged men and there's no families there?
That's. All there is, it's fighting aged
men that's on them boats. I've very rare seen a child with
a woman on that and then they're coming in and again a hotel,
money, everything, whatever they want, again, whatever they want
and it's wrong. It's not fair that we're paying
for them all. So do you, do you feel then that
that the descriptions of two tier politics and two T are
policing it correct? Yes.
Indigenous people are being treated unfairly.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
It's not fair on the people in this country who pay their
taxes. Why should we have to pay for
them? It's not fair, It isn't fair.
But but the the poor or fresh people and and the the receiving
from. Do you?
I don't. If that's if that's like a
family or anything's happened bad where they are, I don't
mind. But it's all men coming in and
I'm not racist. I'll help anybody.
I will help anybody. But it's not fair that it's all
men coming in. You won't leave your wife there.
There's something wrong in that country.
You bring your children and your wife with you.
You mentioned not being racist that that that's probably the
first thing they would throw at you.
You know what it is? I was it the last one I went to,
was it the monument right? And what called far right racist
and Nazis and that's what they call them.
We just stood there and just let them go on.
We didn't do anything. We're we're peaceful.
We're not going to cause any trouble.
We're just worried about our country and the people in it.
So Diane, another lady talking very sensibly and I thought she
made some really good points. She was clearly seeing through
what was being played out on the streets, not only there but in
other locations. Yeah, no, I think so as well.
It's very, very interesting to hear from her to talk about the
fact that it is at least what we see, especially on mainstream
coverage as well. The, the idea of just the men
coming through on the boats. Although I would say that one
thing that we all should be doing is looking at the actual
statistics of the migration that is coming into this country and
where they're coming from. And not just this, the coverage,
the very emotive coverage that we see of the, the men on the
boats throwing, you know, throwing their phones are all
around and pretending they don't have a passport landing at
Dover. That that is not the entire
story that's going on. And again, I would just
encourage people to look directly into the the human
migration reports and the statistics that are available to
see what. That is actually happening, but
it's certainly reasonable for this lady to feel the way she
feels based on what people are seeing for the most part.
Indeed. Well, we've got another clip
here, and this is 2 men, so let's see what they had to say.
Yeah, yeah. It's a fuse.
They've had a fuse, it's slowly burning, it's slowly burning and
eventually it's just going to be an explosion.
This is going to happen every week all over the country till
people are sick and then it will just take off and it's all going
to be far right people. You know, that's what they're
saying, but it's not. It's just people they want to
stick up. What do you think about the
Essex Police taxing in the far left in Essex?
They're supposed to be in portion and I'm pretty certain
that when they're in uniforms they're supposed to be in
portion but they're not. They're not.
These are probably busted off them in to start with.
They're probably sure them out to get here, fought and run
because apparently they're not even from up here.
We've got a whole lot of ready made signs.
Yeah, we've got ready made signs.
So angst amongst local people. But of course this measured
response is never going to be seen on the BBC or in the wider
UK press because the aim is to show the pictures of violence
and clashes in order to smear the whole debate about migration
and immigration and to keep it out of public dialogue.
So these little clips, very, very important, showing what
people really think on the ground.
Now, I'm also very pleased that the camera guys actually took
another clip of an Asian gentleman talking and I think he
had some quite interesting things to say.
Let's have a listen. Oh, I will say a few words.
Firstly, those of you, those of you, if you're listening, I they
do not label each and every one of you as racist for simply
turning up and having a conversation.
What I do believe though, most of you have in thought, views
and opinion and there's awful lot of confusion.
I for one am prepared to have a grown up conversation if this is
what you would like to do. There are concerns, there are
issues, there are problems and there are key aspects that
conversation we need to have. You know what, let's have a
proper conversation. I was there just by speaking to
a lovely couple who does have key concerns about the policies
of this country, how some of those policies are seriously
affecting our lives, working class people's lives.
And that is the real challenge. So I see, and in everyone
attending here are individuals who really have serious concerns
that needs to be addressed. And let's address it without
aggression, without having some of those views and opinions
that's been fed unto us. And let me say one thing.
You know what? Just because there is a bad
apple in one tree, it does not mean the entire tree is
poisonous. And that's the view opinion.
If we aren't able to hold, you know what, you and I, we can't
make our society a better place. We can't make our city a better
place. We can't improve our houses.
And first and foremost, we need to improve our own minds and
views and get rid of some of the in held views and opinions.
I'm happy to help. I'm happy to listen.
I'm prepared to understand, stand and look at ways of
dealing with this. So we've had people on both
sides of the argument actually admitting that dialogue and
conversation for people to have their concerns said is
important. Of course, what's being what's
really happening is all of the people present there and in
other locations in the UK are being played one against the
other by our own government. This is the attack of the
British government on its own people and until the
government's policies are fully exposed for what they're really
designed to do, which is to cause chaos and breakdown in the
country, we are not going to solve the issue of migration.
So there has to be dialogue between ordinary people if the
focus is to be brought on the people creating the problem,
which in my opinion at least is clearly the British government,
whether it's a Conservative government or it's a Labour
government. But we'll talk more about this
in, excuse me, extra time and I'll just end with two slides
here, which is one, of course, remember the duplicity of the
British states. This was ABBC report of women
saying well never mind the abuse by the Rotherham gangs, the
police were also sexually assaulting us.
And so until the criminality in the police is cleared up we are
not going to solve many other crime related problems.
And are also going to remind people here that if the British
state is complicit in propaganda overseas, which it most
certainly is, using vast amounts of public money through the
Foreign Common, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development
Office, then it's no surprise that propaganda is being used
against people in the UK. Black and white, Christian,
Muslim. The attack is from a government
which wishes to destroy democracy in its present form.
Now, Ben, let's excuse me, let's bring you in here, because of
course anybody who dares speak out is labelled and
increasingly, if you dare challenge migration or any other
key government policy, you are a terrorist.
Literally yes. They are using all of the levers
of power against anyone who pushes back against the
globalist agenda. That's what we're looking at.
So earlier on this year, Prevent, one of the de
radicalisation organisations part of the British government,
redefined terrorism and introduced 3 new definitions for
extreme right wing terrorism. The first one highlighted here
Cultural nationalism, saying Western culture is under threat
for mass migration and lack of integration by certain ethnic
and cultural groups. That makes you a terrorist.
So does that make the the ladies who spoke very sensibly in those
clips to make them cultural nationalists?
I think that, I think it certainly does.
Yes, absolutely. The next category as well.
Why ethno nationalism? It says mass migration from the
non white world and demographic change poses an existential
threat to the to the white race and to western culture.
So if you hold that opinion, you are now essentially a terrorist.
I think a significant number of people hold that that opinion.
So is half the country, more than half the country now
terrorists? Apparently they are.
And then the final one on here. And actually, by the way, I
believe both of those two. So apparently I'm terrorist
according to the government's own definition.
So the first two of those I agree with.
I run into a bit of trouble with the third one, white
supremacism. So they're saying that the white
race is biologically, culturally and spiritually, spiritually
superior to all other races. But I don't believe that.
And you really very rarely actually hear that out in the
wild. But they've also conflated that
with a second point, a very separate point, which is the
idea that an alternative form of government should replace
Western parliamentary democracy. And actually, I do believe that
we need a new form of government.
The current one is is completely broken.
It's been well weaponized against.
Let's just look at what we're talking about right now.
But the idea that that makes me a white supremacist is, is
completely ludicrous. But obviously this is now being
wielded across the entire city system.
So we've talked about it being introduced into prevents, is now
appearing in police documentation.
So this is Protect UK, the National Counterterrorism
Security Office. They're using the exact same
categories in their definition of terrorism.
And of course, because this is the civil service, they've
introduced an acronym. So this is now hurt.
It's what we're calling it. Extreme right wing terrorism is
now hurt and the policy is is extremely poorly formulated.
In fact, the government itself has described it as extremely
confused. Well, actually I should say
Policy Exchange have described the counter extremism policies
as being extremely confused. This report came out a few days
ago, was sent over to us, and actually this was on the back of
some internal documentation being leaked to Policy Exchange
which says that the U KS approach to extremism should no
longer be based on ideologies of concern, but on a very wide
range of behaviours including violence against women and
girls, spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories in
interest in gore or extreme violence and misogyny or
involvement in an online subculture called the
manosphere. So apparently all of these
things make you an extremist. So they just say this is a grab
bag of random stuff that they decided to put together that is
now informing government policy. Ben, do you think that the
manosphere is flat? Well, I believe it's a spiritual
realm, actually, the manosphere. But they even admit in their own
documentation, if we can get that back up on screen quickly,
says it admits itself that many who display such behaviours are
not extremists. So we're putting together
policies around extremism, but they admit themselves that
people who display these behaviours aren't necessarily
extremists. The whole thing's completely
ludicrous. The government wants to identify
people as extremists to the level of terrorists, but it
can't quite find the language to encapsulate people who are
expressing ordinary, measured concerns.
So they're reinventing a language in order to label
people. Yeah, this, this is the attack
we're talking about. This is an attack by the policy
creators within the UK government.
It's extremely dangerous and everybody has to wake up to
what's happening here. As I say, it doesn't matter who
you are, whether you're established in the country or a
newcomer, this policy will destroy you and your family and
the community life because that's what it's designed to do.
Unless we call it out indeed. This is this is what Stalin did.
This is literally what the stars he'd be doing.
Secret police, you know, seek and you shall find.
Show me the man and I'll show you the crime.
It's, it's that kind of mentality essentially, which
puts all power into the hands of the state, you know, and it's
being deployed right. So this is not just theoretical.
There's been a huge spike in in particular over 60s, maybe some
of them are UK column viewers referred to anti terrorism
schemes amid this supposed explosion in extreme right wing
views. But it's only exploded because
you've redefined everything as being extreme white.
But there's been 43 people referred to Prevent.
So actually, you know, even amongst all of this kind of
noise, it's, it's a relatively small number of people who are
getting referred into these schemes, but it's about
suppression. But can I just add in there?
Of course, many people will be referred to Prevent, and they
won't even know that they have been referred to Prevent.
This is one of the key dangers. This is a completely secretive
system until suddenly the state drags you off the the streets to
accuse you of something. Right, exactly.
All they dox you, as they did recently with Morgoth.
So this was hope, not hate, which is basically an extension
of the Home Office. We talk about them all the time.
They went off to Morgoth back in May saying that they've unmasked
Morgoth, the British influencer who inspired a terrorist, a
terrorist, which he he didn't do.
So he didn't inspire a terrorist.
They've got no evidence to support that.
But that's now out there on the Internet.
And if you search for more golf, then it comes up and says he
inspired a terrorist. You know, so it doesn't matter
if any of this is true or not. And actually best way to
understand more goth apart from going to look at his sub stack
and his YouTube channel, He's going to have a little listen to
the interview that we broadcast. I did with him came out last
Thursday. And you'll find that he's a
gentleman and a scholar and, you know, check it out and make up
your own mind. Ultimately, Sky been in on in on
the act as well the big media platform.
So they ran this piece a couple of weeks ago, the 20 minute
segment about the return to the land movement in Arkansas in the
US, the building a white only community in the Ozarks.
And they tried to run it as a hit piece, but actually turned
out to sound a bit more like an advert.
Basically you've got the founder in the centre, forgive me, I
forget his name. The guy on the left hand side
was the Sky journalist who at the end of this 20 minute
segment basically says that he finds the whole thing morally
objectionable because it denies people the right to housing,
which tells us two things. And he believes that non whites
are incapable of housing themselves, right?
That's literally inherent in that.
In that perspective, what we call the soft bigotry of lowered
expectations. And then also embedded within
that is the idea that white people have some some kind of
moral obligation to take care of everyone else, which doesn't go
in the other direction. It's a very strange set of
beliefs that are being propagated here by the
mainstream. Similar things happen over the
past few weeks or few days even actually in the UK.
So the Woodlander initiative to similar organisation to return
to the land in the US. They're about taking back our
land, freedom, culture, buying plots of land around the UK,
helping people set up new communities, live off grid,
encouraging self reliance which obviously makes them a neo Nazi
group, according to the Daily Mail.
So that's a typical inflammatory Daily Mail headlines there to
create fear and hatred and division.
Yes, it's deliberate. Yes, but the Daily Mail is
supposed to be on the political right, right.
So you know what I mean. There's a very old role that the
Mail plays when you get when you get into how it's targeting the
these organisations. So they carried on to describe
the Woodlander Initiative as a fascist land buying screen
scheme. And interestingly, I know
someone who is part of the Woodlander Initiative who is of
mixed Persian and South Asian descent, who tried to comment on
this article saying that he visited this white only camp as
a brown person, found no paramilitary training or any
hatred towards me. In fact he had a good time, made
some friends and sometimes things are not what you were
told. And that comment wouldn't post
onto the Daily Mail site, so they prevented him for being
able to deliver that there. And I think that just tells you
everything that you need to know about this.
You want to find out more about the Woodlander Initiative, by
the way, go and check out his YouTube channel.
It's a fantastic channel. He's a lovely bloke.
I've interviewed him myself a couple of times, actually one of
the nicest people you've come across.
He was involved in the BNP and, and other nationalist political
movements. But my view on that is, again,
just to echo what, what, what my, my supposedly brown friend
said there is that sometimes things are not what you're told.
And actually some of their analysis, when you look at it,
it's quite compelling. And one thing I've come across
recently which I'd very highly recommend is this speech from
Jonathan Bowden, the Greenwich speech, which was delivered,
delivered in July 30th, 2009. And it's very difficult to argue
with any of his analysis or anything that he says, to be
honest with you. So that would be my take on
that. They also, the Daily Mail took
exception to Simon speaking at the Patriotic Alternative
conference last year. Go and listen to the speech
yourself. It's an excellent speech.
We'll provide a link to it. But what is Patriotic
Alternative? That's a British nationalist
community and activist group who basically advocate for
indigenous British people. They believe that the British
should remain a super majority in their own country to be able
to represent their own interests in the exact same way that other
ethnic groups do when they arrive in this country.
You know, again, which makes PA dangerous extremists who've been
heavily censored and de platformed.
They've been doing awful things like raising funds for families
of political prisoners who were put in prison last year for
social media posts after the killings in Southport have been
smeared by the BBC. And in fact Mark Colley, the
founder of PA, went to do an interview with the BBC which he
actually recorded. It was an hour and 15 minutes
long and then the BBC used 46 seconds of it, which I think
you'll be familiar with that kind of treatment from the BBC,
Brian. Indeed, but I only got 6 seconds
as a parliamentary. Yes, and to raise the stakes
even further, Mark Hollett, PA founder, was barred from
entering Sweden over the weekend.
And I was very grateful to be able to speak to him.
And we're going to hear a little bit now about his experience of
trying to get into Sweden to deliver a speech at the Free
Speech Free Sweden Movement. I was heading to Sweden to a
event run by a group called the Free Sweden Movement.
Now the Free Sweden Movement holds a a community based
weekend where people go to socialise.
There are physical events like a strongman competition, there's
cooking, there's burgers, there's socialising and there's
also a few small speeches. And I was heading there this
weekend to basically attend this event, to attend this social
gathering. And I was also asked to make a
short speech, about 30 minutes long and I was attending a meal
the night before. I've seen people there that I've
met on my travels around Europe because I've been to Europe many
times, visited many European countries.
And when I got to Sweden, I was I was pulled out of the queue to
go through, pass through customs and share my passport.
I was interrogated. I was accused of many things.
I was denied entry to Sweden and then promptly deported and
banned from entering the Schengen zone for 15 years. 15
year ban from Europe. And of course we're still
working with Europe, particularly in regard to
counter terrorist planning and policies.
We'll deal with that in future UK column use.
So Brexit without the exit without question.
And we shouldn't be surprised that we're still locked into
this very dangerous European super state.
Yeah, absolutely. Let's say a little bit more
about Mark's experience at the border, which I think we just
deliberately degrading and designed to cause as much stress
and and anxiety, anxiety is is possible.
I was held without food in an airport lounge for more than 24
hours without knowing what was happening to me, without being
given a a, a time or a date for my deportation.
I was denied my luggage. I was denied basic amenities
that were in my luggage, like a toothbrush, change of clothes.
I had to sleep on the chairs, the benches in the departure
lounge, Everything that I needed to buy in there.
I had to fund myself. I wasn't given vouchers for food
or for a meal. I I was denied a bed.
I was denied any form of legal representation.
I was never offered a solicitor or a lawyer.
Essentially I was treated as if I was a terrorist and I was
certainly treated worse than illegal migrants.
Criminal illegal migrants come to places like Britain, Sweden,
Germany, France. They are treated far better than
I was. Treated like a terrorist because
by the new definition, apparently he is a terrorist.
Indeed. And a little bit later, I'm
going to be mentioning a certain gentleman that was also denied
food for a period. And maybe we can see some
similarities, but in a few, a few minutes.
Yeah. And then just a final clip from
that interview with Mark Collett, which will provide a
link to the full thing in the show notes.
Go and check that out where he talks about where he thinks this
is coming from. It was almost like they were
waiting for me with a judgement from very high up within the EU
and the level I mean when they said they were denying me entry.
I was disappointed however, when they said 15 year ban, I was
blown away. I was flabbergasted and I've
I've never heard of anything like that before.
And considering the people they let into Europe, considering the
open door policy that Germany has had and once one country has
an open door policy because of the Schengen zone, those people
can travel anywhere. That's one of the major security
issues that Europe faces. But for me, they view making a
speech as more threatening than allowing millions of migrants
from Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East to
pour across our borders without cheques.
That, according to the EU, is a human right.
Making a speech is a threat to public safety, the fabric of
society, and the fundamental values on which Sweden and
Europe were apparently built. That that's the reasoning.
Total lunacy. Indeed.
Well, we should remember Sir Peter Sutherland's speeches as
my ambassador for migration for the UN, saying that more mass
migration wasn't necessary to breakdown the homogeneity of the
nation state. So this is deliberate policy.
Everybody gets hurt. The countries from which the
migration is occurring, though those countries suffer, people
suffer in the migration route and then the countries to which
the migrants arrive also suffers.
So this is deliberate policy to breakdown the nation state.
And top advisors to Keir Starmer, or members of their
family anyway, get to make millions of pounds on the back
of this whole thing. So this is Morgan McSweeney,
Starmer's chief of staff, whose father has been handed £6
million over the past two years by the Irish government to house
asylum seekers. Indeed, indeed, so serious
things happening and I can tell from the reaction from our
audience today that this is a very important topic for them,
for the UK column at least, we have to understand the attack in
the first instances by the people who create the policy,
not only in our own government but the World Economic Forum,
the UN. We have to understand why the
policy is being created and if we end up with violence and
fighting amongst ourselves, we lose because the Super state is
geared up to deal with violence. But more on this in UK column
extra in a few moments. Now let's get on some lighter,
some lighter things. And first of all, a big thank
you to everyone supporting the UK column.
We can only do what we do with your financial support.
And it's really wonderful people who donate or have signed up to
become members. So if you don't know how to do
that, just go to the UK column website and click here and you
can support our work by making a donation or actually joining us
a paid up member. Now more good news in the UK
column on location event Saturday the 18th of October
2025. I'm very pleased to say that we
are within a few tickets of having sold 50% of our tickets
already. So if you haven't bought a
ticket, you need to think about it because the tickets are going
very quickly and it's clear that people understand the importance
of this event and are really looking forward to it.
This is the little online video clip showing how to do that.
Go to our shop, then you can select your options and there's
two choices, a ticket or a ticket with an evening meal.
And once you've bought your ticket, we look forward to
seeing you at the York event. Now Future UK column
productions. Tonight at 7:00 we've got germ
warfare with James Corbett, the nature of power and control.
That seems pretty pertinent to today's news.
And tomorrow at 1:00, I have, well, it's not an interview,
it's a discussion really between Charles Mallett and myself about
military matters. We called it opening shots.
It's very relaxed. But we start to have a look at
what is happening in the military world, principally in
UK, but I'm sure we'll be moving on to overseas matters as well.
So look out for that at 1:00 tomorrow.
Now, Ben, this, this one is yours.
Fascinating title. Escape key.
Yes. So this is one of the best
writers on Substack, an extraordinarily intelligent and
articulate thinker and writer. And this is the first ever
interview that he's done. I was really privileged to speak
to him a couple of weeks ago. Now, that's going out on
Thursday, and we're talking about the the history of the
central banking system and how global governance has used
central banking as its template for taking control over every
single area of the global system.
It's a fascinating talk. Make sure to tune in for that.
Excellent. Now Diane, perhaps you'll take
us through these because of course we've we've got other
excellent articles which have gone up on the UK column
website. Yes, Brian, thanks.
We've had some really, really great content, written content
coming out recently on the UK column website.
So I just want to mention two here just because we're short on
time, obviously. This one was published last week
by Neil Harrison. It's called The Bison and the
Bias. Rethinking methane, Climate
science and scientific integrity.
So actually asking us to question the science that
looking at what is actually happening in science and if they
are truly following scientific principles when they're trying
to support so called climate action.
We can say it that way. This other one that I wanted to
show is the latest in the serious series by Vanessa
Beeley. She's been providing a weekly
contribution for us now to update us on the very complex
situation Sirius in Siri called the Zionist * King on the Syrian
chess board with Washington support.
So there's a lot of detail in these, so please take a look at
them. They're very good.
OK. Now, Diane, you've also had some
support and you're just going to show briefly on the screen what
that support was. Yes.
So this is the desk that I am sitting at right now.
I'll call this UK column Studio N Recently AUK column member and
very generous donor gave me this microphone and stand to put the
microphone on. This is very generous, very good
equipment. So hopefully people are able to
hear me better than they were previously.
And I just want to thank the viewer who donated that, as well
as the viewers local to me who came to help me set this up
because I don't know the first thing about audio equipment.
So I'm thankful to all of them for their help.
Okay, thank you, Diane. A tidy desk is a happy desk of
course. Now we'd also like to remind
people that weekend of the sorry.
The 22nd to the 25th of August 2025 is is the Hope Sussex
Festival. Now if you haven't got a ticket
yet, please do get one because a lot of work has been put into
making this thing happen. The UK column team are going to
be there and putting in a sizeable contribution.
If you use code UKC 20, you're being offered a 20% discount.
So do have a think about this. And we are going to be there
because we're putting another stake in the ground for free
speech. Well, it's a camping tent peg,
but you know what I'm saying here.
Now, of course, this festival has been under attack from the
Telegraph. The journalist was Chris Benyan.
He wrote a nasty little hit piece on it.
But I just wanted to point out to the audience, this is how
Chris Benyan sees himself, an adult man who likes to portray
them, the himself as this figure at work in the journalistic
community, which I think is rather strange and rather silly.
But there we're, there we go. Now, Mike has also been very
keen for people to support this petition, repeal the Online
Safety Act signatures just before US going live for the
news today. We're up at 488,000.
So that's moving, but the more signatures the better.
So if you haven't signed, get on and sign up now.
I also want to say back to our audience, thank you very much
wherever you are in the world. At the recent Totnes event,
there was a lady who had come with her husband all the way
from the Azores, which I thought was really fantastic and it was
lovely to get some very positive feedback for the UK column.
We also had an email in from Canada and this one was thanking
you, Ben, for your reporting on the woke agenda and what they
described as the filth which you observed up in London.
So we are very pleased to see that not only are people
watching from Canada, they're also taking the trouble to thank
us for reporting and to give us some spiritual protection there.
So thank you very much. Also got this email about
immigration saying that somebody watched the news a few days ago
where I was speaking about the government's plan to break up
our culture through the current immigration policy.
Gentleman asking For more information.
We will be putting more information out on forthcoming
news. This one was very interesting
because Anthony clearly picking up on the idea now that we are
being attacked by our own government, and if we're going
to sort the country out, the first thing we've got to deal
with is the lies, duplicity, and corruption in central
government. Until we sort that out, we can't
deal with other major problems. So people are picking up on this
idea that it is the government attacking us.
And this one I will deal in more detail in in another news
edition. But a gentleman who's been
working over for over 30 years to take the lid off the cover up
of child abuse in UK was was arrested a couple of days ago.
All of his computers and data about the cover up of the abuse
of children, that was all taken by South Yorkshire Police.
And he goes on to say that basically he was denied his
medication. He was kept in a cold shell cell
where he had to request a blanket which was given to him
three hours later only after the interview.
And he also got no food all day. So here is the brutal mortality
of the UK state if you're somebody not only concerned, but
you're brave enough to do the research into the politicians
who are covering up the abuse of children.
Meanwhile, we've got Labour who is apparently going to clean
itself up by reframing the Ethics and Integrity Commission
to start the process of rebuilding standards in public
life. Well of course this is smoke and
mirrors and nothing sensible is going to happen out of this.
We will excuse me. We also had an email from with
regard to Ian Hislop where the commentator Jeff was saying that
he was amused to see Ian Hislop clearly unable to understand
what was happening in the country around him.
Hislop was reacting. He could see something wrong,
but he could not understand what it was.
And of course, this is because he hasn't done any proper
investigation into what has been taking place in the country over
all the years that he's been reporting.
Now, Diane, to finish, we bring you back in with us and you're
going to be talking about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
I'm going to say once here, excuse me once again, that this
is such an important subject because this is where the
government is able to unleash the woke agenda on the public
and particularly on young people.
Yes, thanks, Brian. I'm actually reminded a bit of
the report that Ben gave us, I believe it was last week on the
event that happened in Trafalgar Square in London, because we're
seeing these things coming out through arts and culture.
And this is a perfect way to look at the things that are
coming out into the public through this.
So I want to start first of all with just saying I was at I was
in Edinburgh at this festival from Friday to Sunday.
I just came home yesterday evening and I took several
photos. And so I just want to talk, talk
you through some things that I saw just walking out in the
streets, as well as talking about some of the events that I
attended. So as, as anyone who's ever
seen, if you've ever been in Edinburgh in August, you know
that a photo such as this one show that there are posters all
sort of all over the city where they appear on different places
on, you know, I think in this case on lampposts.
We can also see as well that they're on the sides of the, the
fences that are surrounding sort of all the neighbourhoods around
the city. There's a couple of examples
here of, of all these different events.
One is called lesbian space crime.
That's right there. There's also I, I did go to that
one, but the title certainly struck my attention.
We can see over on the, on the, the right side of the photo,
very small, the, the LEZ low emission zone that has got into
effect in Edinburgh. So we're starting to see the
climate agenda as well as the the LGBT agenda sort of going
through everything. Here's a close up of one of the
posters that I saw called A Star is sorry, a Stan is Born, Not a
star necessarily. A love letter to all the Divas
and the gays who seen them, I guess with the rainbow.
And we can't really tell who this is or you know, what's
going on. This was one of the Flyers that
I was handed. So what happens when you're
sitting around just having a drink or something to eat?
A lot of times people will come back to you and hand their
little Flyers to you, to you about their shows that they're
advertising. This one to me was one that was
handed to me and it looked particularly evil, satanic, if
you ask me. I don't really know what it was
about, but we can see the photo with the the, the person sort of
half human, half not human, the cigarettes with and it says a
safe space for losers. Put them up and all of the red
and yellow imagery, sort of the fire imagery just made me feel
personally extremely uncomfortable going out from
there. This was just part of my walking
when I was going to an event. This was a primary school in
Edinburgh and the fence is painting rainbow colours.
So we're getting seeing once again, just the the imagery of
the rainbow kind of surrounding everything that seems to be
going in front of children nowadays, including the gate
that goes into their own primary school after that, which we
have. This was something that was
sitting in the the Pleasants area with the courtyard where we
were sitting having a drink. I don't really know the story
behind this, but I thought it was interesting help us hashtag
get to 0 new HIV transmissions in Scotland by 2030.
So what was behind that? I'm not sure, but I just keep
seeing this 2030 over and over again and and pretty much
everything. This was the first event that I
attended on this was on Friday afternoon.
This is nothing in particular that was terribly alarmist about
it one way or the other, but just to give you an example of a
lot of things that you'll see at the French festival, this was
called out of my head. Alan Watts is alive and well
dead, presented by a one man show by a man called Jeremy
Stockwell. This was about Alan Watts, who
was a British and American philosopher of counterculture.
You can read about him. He's kind of an interesting
individual. Whether or not I agree with his
philosophies I'm not entirely sure, but Jeremy Stockwell was
kind of going back and forth between being himself and being
Alan Watts in the show. What was interesting about it
though is the trigger warnings. Right?
So we have the trigger warning saying it contained theme
references to mortality and ageing, with brief reference to
hospital and alcohol. So trigger warnings everywhere.
The next show that I saw was Michael Elsner, who is from
Switzerland. He was described in the
programme as a former late night host, political scientist and
queer artist. There was a big focus on the
queer in this particular presentation, delivering offbeat
perspective, spot on impressions.
Can his secret Swiss recipe save the world?
So his question was about how to live in paradise.
One of the things that I didn't find particularly insightful at
all, and he was a comedian, but I don't think I laughed a single
time in the entire event, was saying that his idea of
paradise, or one of his ideas of paradise, which he ended with
was the feeling of using the loo when you really need to do so.
So whether or not that's paradise, I don't know.
But what was what was Speaking of the loo, when I used the loo
in the event venue, which was the gilded balloon at the
University of Edinburgh, we can put this up on the screen.
We see things in the University of Edinburgh, which again is one
of the highest ranked universities in the world,
apparently. But it would seem as though the
adults that go to the University of Edinburgh don't know to take
care of themselves, the bathroom.
So we see a very cartoonish person of somebody sitting on
the loo saying we all have bad days.
But remember, this is a shared bathroom.
So please clean up after yourself.
Be kind. There's that message again to
everyone who uses this space. And also in the same loo was
another photo that I took telling people to always just
remember to keep the toilet clean, flush properly, don't
throw certain products into the toilet that don't belong there.
Don't stand on the toilet when you're using it.
Please sit down. And finally, remember to wash
your hands. So again, university messaging
infantile, basically infantilization of the people
who are there, in my opinion. So to sort of refresh from that
a bit on Saturday morning, this was an event that was actually
not part of the Fringe Festival, but the Edinburgh International
Festival, which happens around the same time.
There are several other festivals, including the Book
Festival that happened in August and Edinburgh in addition to the
Fringe. This one was Colin Curry, who's
a marimba professionist player along with the King Seniors,
which generally was very nice. It is worth noting, however,
that the theme was about death overall in their their
programme. It was recorded for the BBC
Radio 3 broadcast. But two particular things that I
really enjoyed was the performance of an English
magical from 16 O 8 by Thomas Wilkes called Death Hath
Deprived Me. So again the theme of death.
There was a world premiere by Sir James McMillan, who's a
Scottish composer. The Sir titles were really kind
of fun though because they were written in sort of Scots or at
least glass region language and they they said they tried to
sing in that particular dialect. After that I went to what was
the most political thing I attended, at least overtly
political, was Ian Dale, who was the presenter of the evening
show on LBC radio and he was interviewing Rachel Reeves.
We have a photo of the two of them together that I took.
I'm not sure if we can get that on screen really quickly where
we talked about she was saying, well, she was the first female
Chancellor of the Exchequer in the country.
So again, this is Rachel from accounts, as some people call
her online. She talked about Margaret
Thatcher proving that she could do the job as Prime Minister and
she watched her growing up. There was quite a bit of
discussion around women that have taken these roles.
Again, I am personally more interested as a woman as whoever
can do the job the best, whether or not they are male or female.
But this was a particular focus of the conversation.
She talked a little bit about how she got into politics.
She joined the the party in 1996 when she was in sixth form and
talked about getting involved in campaigns and so on.
She didn't really talk a whole lot about the issue of the
national debt or any of the budgetary issues to an extent,
although there was quite a bit of focus on things around net
zero. Her concern about net 0 not
being so popular in the polls, the rise of reform, saying that
reform and the conspiracy theories around net zero, that
reform apparently brings our concerns of hers.
And they know that that they are more of a competitor for them
coming up into the next election, but potentially more
than the Tories. Issues around Corbin's new party
is this reform on the left? And then she talked a lot about
her day when she cried during the Prime Minister's Questions a
few weeks ago and how difficult it was to see the coverage that
she she was in tears during that particular day.
And she just said I just had a difficult day.
I couldn't help it. So we were asked in some cases
to provide written questions to her that were supposed to be
answered at the end that she didn't really answer a lot of
the questions that she was given directly, except for the very
last one, which Ian Dale read from the audience.
And he said, well, we have a lot of questions here about the
national debt, but here's the one that I really want to ask
you is who has the best hair in the Labor Party?
To which she went on to a long story about how her hair colour
got changed when she was just trying to make it shinier and
how stressful that was and what she was dealing with with her
hairdresser and her hairstyle. So again, if she wants to dispel
the idea that women cannot be politicians, I don't think that
she did herself a lot of favour by ending her time talking about
her hairdresser Brian. She could have stopped the the
question dead because it was ridiculous and concentrated on
the important thing. But significantly, I'm going to
say like a child, she didn't. She went with the fun side.
So more of it just cover the rock opera briefly.
Yeah. And then we'll go to your final,
final image. Yes, sorry, I just wanted to get
your thoughts on on on the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
This was the favourite thing of personally speaking and
potentially one of the most meaningful things that I
attended at the festival. This is called Dystopia, the
rock opera. So we had people in masks, but
the masks were not COVID type masks.
They were masks of, of Putin, of, of the North Korean leader,
of Trump and other people. So this was a particularly
fantastic event. I I will have more about this an
extra time. Brilliant.
OK, well we must end there. So a new course available
apparently. Yes so this was something I saw
on social media here Starmer has a course on advert on offer and
it says want a new challenge retrain as a lefty?
2 day courses, no previous experience needed.
Full tuition in twisting the truth.
Toxic wokeness, unaccountability, sense of
entitlement, cancel culture fit sitting, zero personality,
virtue signalling, and finally how to be offended by everything
and anything. I think I need to sign up for
that because I am not good at any of that, Brian.
OK, well we'll end there. Big thank you to our audience.
Thank you to Ben and you Diane for being with me today.
Learning and understanding the attack against us is the most
important thing. Stay calm, carry on, call out
the people really driving the chaos and madness that is the
task of the wider UK. UK population and UK column will
do everything it can. We will do everything we can to
get that knowledge out there. That's it for today.
Thank you for joining us wherever you are in the world.
Bye bye.
