00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,320
Good afternoon, Today is 
Wednesday the 15th of October 

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,920
2025, just after 1:00. 
Welcome to UK Column News. 

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,040
I'm your host Brian Gerrish, 
delighted to have Diane 

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,480
Rasmussen with me in the UK 
Column studio in Plymouth. 

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,200
So welcome to you, Diane. 
Thanks. 

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,920
We'll be joined by Vanessa 
Bailey by Livelink. 

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,320
And we've got a very busy and I 
think quite an interesting UK 

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,880
Column News today because 
there's an overwhelmingly female

9
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,880
theme to it. 
Of course. 

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,240
The series Gutsy Women is one of
the series for UK Column News. 

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,560
Both you, Diane and Vanessa 
feature on Gutsy Women, but 

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,040
we've got a number of guests 
with us today, also women. 

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,160
So this is really interesting. 
Now Vanessa, you're going to 

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,760
kick off with an update on, 
well, the so-called peace deal 

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,200
in Gaza. 
But the more I read, the more 

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,280
personally I'll become disgusted
with how this is being presented

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,720
and it seems to be biased purely
in favour of what is good for 

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,080
Israel. 
But that's my personal take on 

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,120
it. 
As I've said, we're going to be 

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,160
having a look at gutsy ladies 
and in particular the power of 

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,680
activism to fight back against 
the vinicious policies that are 

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,120
unfolding in the UK. 
Vanessa's also got a section 

23
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,600
having a look at, I beg your 
pardon, Diane? 

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,520
Let's bring you in first because
you you were talking about 

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,960
what's happening with education 
libraries again, and in 

26
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:42,280
particular the grooming and the 
minds of children. 

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,120
And you've got a guest, Kathy 
Mudge, who's going to hopefully 

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,680
join us to be talking about the 
activist side as well. 

29
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Vanessa's going to be taking a 
look at Syria and terrible 

30
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,760
things to do with children and 
trafficking. 

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,240
We're going to end by having 
another look at activism in a 

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,120
rather different and rather 
poignant form. 

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,720
We've got a very good extra 
today. 

34
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,120
If you're AUK column member, you
can join us. 

35
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:11,600
So first of all, Vanessa, 
welcome. 

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,360
And what are you, what are you 
seeing in Gaza? 

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,920
Well, I mean, it's certainly not
a peace deal. 

38
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,600
I agree with you there, Brian. 
It's, it's at best another 

39
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:27,600
ceasefire agreement that's 
already been violated by Israel.

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,640
At worst, of course, it's a 
peace trap set by President 

41
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:37,560
Trump and his cohorts of 
ludicrous world leaders that met

42
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,760
with him and Sharm El Sheikh in 
Egypt. 

43
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,400
So let's first of all look at a 
couple of videos from that 

44
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,080
meeting. 
First of all, Trump making 

45
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,040
ludicrous claims about 
humanitarian aid rolling into 

46
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,440
Gaza. 
So let's roll this. 

47
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,160
War in Gaza is over. 
Humanitarian aid is now pouring 

48
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,520
in, including hundreds of 
truckloads of food, medical 

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,480
equipment and other supplies, 
much of it paid for by people in

50
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,360
this room. 
Civilians are returning to their

51
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,680
home. 
So according to Trump, aide is 

52
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,120
rolling in. 
We'll come on to that in a 

53
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,920
second. 
But I did just want to show 

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Starmer in all of his glory. 
He was basically hidden behind a

55
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,680
plant at the back of the group 
for most of the meeting. 

56
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,600
And when Trump was speaking, he 
strategically placed himself 

57
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,400
directly behind Trump, I think, 
in the hope that he would be 

58
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,040
allowed to speak. 
And Trump, at some point, calls 

59
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,840
him out, and let's see what 
actually happens. 

60
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240
United Kingdom. 
Where's the United Kingdom? 

61
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Where's our friend? 
Where? 

62
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Come here. 
Is everything going good? 

63
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Very good. 
It's very nice that you're here.

64
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,880
These people all came in like 
2020 minute notice and I think 

65
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,280
it's fantastic and we have so 
many others and just so many 

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:05,400
others. 
Starmer really firmly put in his

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,280
place there, obviously expecting
to speak and not given the 

68
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,120
microphone. 
But let's move on to more 

69
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,880
serious matters. 
So as I said, Israel is already 

70
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,079
cutting back on the amount of 
aid that is being allowed into 

71
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,519
Gaza. 
Rafa crossing with Egypt is 

72
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,720
still shut. 
The number of trucks being 

73
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,360
allowed to enter is about 50% of
those that were promised, so 300

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,040
rather than 600. 
And of course, remembering that 

75
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,240
there were thousands of trucks 
coming in on a daily basis when 

76
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,680
Gaza was still standing prior to
October the 7th. 

77
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,840
And effectively the the claim by
Israel is that Hamas has not yet

78
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:50,160
handed over the bodies of the 
hostages that were killed in the

79
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Zionist bombing of Gaza. 
Hamas has in effect handed over 

80
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,120
some of the bodies but are still
searching for them. 

81
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,160
Of course, the bombardment since
October the 7th destroyed the 

82
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,200
equipment that Hamas needs to 
actually move the rubble and and

83
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,920
identify and find the bodies to 
hand over to Israel. 

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,040
And that's also been confirmed 
by the Red Cross that is also 

85
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,960
saying this kind of procedure is
going to take weeks, not hours 

86
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,360
or days. 
Then on October the 14th, Israel

87
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,600
violated the ceasefire with 
deadly attacks on Palestinians, 

88
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,040
killing nine people in Gaza 
that, according to the Israeli 

89
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,760
claims, went too close to the 
new Yellow Line, which the 

90
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,040
Israeli forces have withdrawn 
too. 

91
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,840
So they were killed both by God 
copters, artillery fire and 

92
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:42,280
sniper fire. 
And then basically as they were 

93
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:46,680
leaving, the Zionist forces 
burned much of the properties 

94
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,800
that they had occupied in Gaza. 
This is a report in alhahed 

95
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,440
English. 
They torched Gaza homes, but not

96
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,320
only the homes they torched, 
also the sewage treatment 

97
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,520
station and humanitarian aid 
that was waiting to come into 

98
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,760
Gaza was burned, according to 
multiple reports. 

99
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,880
Then also we we mentioned in 
last week's news that there was 

100
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,160
potential for the ISIS factions 
or the extremist factions that 

101
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,520
had been given weapons and were 
being funded by Israel to turn 

102
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,360
against Hamas and the resistance
factions in Gaza also being 

103
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,600
weaponized once the Zionist 
forces had withdrawn. 

104
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,360
And in fact, they have been 
conducting a series of 

105
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,120
assassinations. 
This is Gaza's Palestinian 

106
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,320
journalist Salah al Jafar. 
We killed by collaborators, as 

107
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,040
it says here, but working with 
Israel. 

108
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:50,280
So he survived 735 days of 
bombing attempts on his life and

109
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:55,000
the genocide, only to be killed 
by the collaborators with Israel

110
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800
that Hamas is now trying to root
out. 

111
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,640
And yes, they have executed 
members of that group, the 

112
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,680
prisoners that are being 
released. 

113
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,520
I think it's upwards of 2000 
prisoners that have been 

114
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,160
released by the Zionists. 
Of course, there's thousands 

115
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,640
more still in the Israeli jails.
This is just one video, some 

116
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,800
very moving videos that shows 
the extent of physical and 

117
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,160
emotional torture that these 
prisoners have gone through. 

118
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,000
Some of them have been held for 
months, some of them have been 

119
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,280
held for years. 
This is just one clip of a 

120
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,920
busload of prisoners arriving 
back in Gaza. 

121
00:07:35,920 --> 00:08:10,360
So if we can just play this? 
And the next images of, I didn't

122
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,120
play the video because it is 
quite harrowing, this is Doctor 

123
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,440
Mohammad Asaliyah. 
So a doctor that was taken from 

124
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,880
the AL Shifa Hospital is now 
returned to the AL Shifa 

125
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:29,040
Hospital with severe heart pain 
and seizure after his time in 

126
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,200
the Zionist prisons. 
Let's hope that he can be helped

127
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,960
to recover. 
And then finally, I just want to

128
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,440
play part of an interview with 
Professor Haim Brasheed, who's 

129
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,799
an associate research fellow at 
SOAS in the UK. 

130
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,520
And he's talking about basically
what what I've said many times, 

131
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,360
that any ceasefire that is 
agreed upon by Israel and the 

132
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,040
Zionist bloc, including of 
course, President Trump, is 

133
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,480
effectively a way for the 
Israelis to recover from the 

134
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,600
conflict that they're currently 
involved in, in this case in 

135
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Gaza, to pivot towards another. 
Let's hear what he says. 

136
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,120
He does agree with me. 
United States is doing the 

137
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,040
United States is ceding military
bases everywhere. 

138
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,680
The Chinese are actually 
building, the Americans are 

139
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:22,640
destroying. 
So that's the difference between

140
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,480
the two systems now fighting for
control. 

141
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,720
And Israel is exactly where it 
belongs because they specialized

142
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,240
in destruction. 
So I think the implications of a

143
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,480
war against Iran might be very 
far reaching if the Israelis get

144
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,680
their way. 
First of all, if the war 

145
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,200
happens, which is almost 
certain, and secondly, if they 

146
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,320
get the upper hand, then the 
destruction is going to advance 

147
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,160
in East and Central Asia at at 
the pace which we haven't seen 

148
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,080
yet. 
So this is the desperation of 

149
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,640
the West, which is spreading to 
military actions everywhere, to 

150
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:13,480
stop what is the trading nation 
supremacy of China and the 

151
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:19,520
American. 
So effectively this ceasefire, I

152
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,360
won't call it a peaceful, is in 
my opinion, the start of 

153
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,200
something much bigger. 
Vanessa, thank you very much for

154
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,320
that. 
I would say start of something 

155
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,840
else which is going to be much 
worse as it unfolds, but 

156
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,160
terrible times. 
And I know that reporting what 

157
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,600
you are or seeing and hearing 
there in the in the in the 

158
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,280
Middle East makes makes a real 
impact on you. 

159
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,120
So thank you for bringing that 
to us. 

160
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,640
We'll be able to discuss a 
little bit more in UK column 

161
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,760
extra after the news. 
Well, whilst that's the horrors 

162
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,560
in Gaza, here in UK, people are 
faced with an increasing sense 

163
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,080
of doom and breakdown. 
And of course, the lead is from 

164
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,840
the BBC. 
So just a screenshot from me of 

165
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,960
their web page earlier today. 
But we've we're very big on the 

166
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,960
the Israeli hostages who who've 
been saved. 

167
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,320
But the rest of it is a mix of 
pop stars, pressure, breakdown, 

168
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,920
sickness, death and depression. 
And of course, this is backed up

169
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,400
by all of the headlines in the 
papers. 

170
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Some of it is utterly 
disgraceful. 

171
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,400
And for them to call themselves 
newspapers, I think is just 

172
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,080
becoming nearly a joke. 
But what is all this designed to

173
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,800
do? 
Well, it's calculated policy is 

174
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,960
designed to create chaos, fear, 
breakdown, strife, anxiety, 

175
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,440
confusion and depression in UK. 
And many people are telling us 

176
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,800
here at the UK column how 
depressed they actually feel as 

177
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,280
they see things breaking apart. 
This is deliberate policy by the

178
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,800
government, the UNI party, it's 
not accidental. 

179
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,360
How are we going to counter it? 
We're going to counter it by 

180
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,440
sensible, measured activism. 
It's not enough to be at home 

181
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040
and simply saying no, I don't 
agree with this, you have to do 

182
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,600
something. 
So I'm going to emphasise that 

183
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,760
in putting out the UK column 
Gutsy Women series, I was 

184
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,280
acknowledging women who were 
actually standing up to be 

185
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,600
counted. 
And these were interviews that 

186
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,280
I'd done top right Kimberly 
Isherwood from Public Child 

187
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,840
Protection Wales. 
But of course we've also got the

188
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,280
Fanethy women. 
So a couple of days ago I was 

189
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,560
able to interview Kim Isherwood 
and I remember this lady has 

190
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:42,920
taken, has taken made a stand 
against the grooming of children

191
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840
by the Welsh government, the 
sexualisation of children in 

192
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,120
school and her stand brought 
other people on board and then 

193
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,440
it has gone international. 
So this is a little interview I 

194
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,880
did a couple of days ago where 
Kim was talking about what had 

195
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,400
happened following their visit 
to the United States and the 

196
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,440
World Health Conference, Sorry, 
the World Health Organization 

197
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:11,920
conference. 
Kim, you're back with the other 

198
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,360
ladies from the States. 
A little while ago, I was able 

199
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,400
to do an interview with you 
where you were very excited that

200
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,480
your team were going over to 
Washington to get together with 

201
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,520
other people from other 
countries around the world who 

202
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,240
are also concerned at what was 
happening with the grooming of 

203
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,520
children through the education 
system. 

204
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,080
And the plan was that you were 
all going to challenge the World

205
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Health Organization at their 
conference. 

206
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,560
How did that go? 
It was quite interesting. 

207
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,280
So the World Health Organization
is in a building called Pan 

208
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,720
American Health Organization. 
They had a five day conference 

209
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,080
there. 
They are completely untouchable.

210
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,400
They are unreachable. 
There was a marquee outside 

211
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,280
where some people were having 
tea and considering there was a 

212
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,040
five day conference and this 
building has the World Health 

213
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Organization on their sign 
outside, I'd say about 70% of 

214
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,080
people going in and out of our 
building had no idea what the 

215
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,080
World Health Organization was 
about. 

216
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,440
There was no reception desk. 
There was absolutely no way we 

217
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,920
could reach anyone at all. 
So some people might say that 

218
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,560
was a bit of a flop. 
However, I don't think that's a 

219
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,160
flop. 
I believe that is evidence of 

220
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,920
how out of reach these people 
are, how unaccountable they are 

221
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,360
and that that should show 
people. 

222
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,880
That should alarm people though.
These people have massive 

223
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,920
influence over our education. 
All four countries in the UK are

224
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:50,880
adopting their guidance and they
are unaccountable, unreachable. 

225
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,480
And that I think that is a 
powerful statement, Brian, and I

226
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,040
think people should be really 
concerned about that. 

227
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,240
So we didn't actually deliver 
the declaration of childhood to 

228
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,480
the World Health Organization. 
However, that plan hasn't gone 

229
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,640
away. 
We will continue with that. 

230
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,920
Even if we have to go to Geneva,
we will make our stance on this 

231
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,040
situation known one way or 
another. 

232
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,400
So I think that's a powerful 
message to everyone in the UK. 

233
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,840
These people have a lot of 
influence over our lives, our 

234
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,240
children and our children's 
sexual development and the fact 

235
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,960
that they are completely 
unreachable. 

236
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,120
There's, there's no 
accountability there. 

237
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,280
This should be This should 
scream alarm bells, you know, 

238
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,480
for every single person watching
this. 

239
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,760
This this is a very good point, 
Kim, because these are the 

240
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,400
powerful people, but they're 
hidden in plain sight in some 

241
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,840
ways they're hidden in other 
ways. 

242
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,640
You can you can see them, but 
they are operating at the global

243
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,240
level. 
The, these, the, this is the 

244
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,960
level of people that when how 
Keir Starmer says he can work 

245
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,400
with Davos or at Davos because 
he can get something, he can get

246
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,560
things done. 
These are the very people 

247
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,680
forming the policies that Keir 
Starmer is then implementing 

248
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,560
nationally. 
So yes, you, you by trying to 

249
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,560
take them on in a democratic way
and not being able to do that, 

250
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,360
it highlights how unaccountable 
they are. 

251
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,280
The the other thing which you 
were very excited about was the 

252
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,120
fact that it wasn't just Public 
Child Protection Wales team that

253
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,520
was going to be there in 
America. 

254
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,600
There was going to be people 
from other countries. 

255
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,280
How did that bit go? 
Fantastic, Brian. 

256
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,040
I think what we found was there 
are a load of ladies out there 

257
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,480
and gentlemen as well with the 
same heart, the same concerns 

258
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,680
and the same commitment as us. 
And you know, I think that in 

259
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,680
itself is very powerful. 
We've got plans moving forward, 

260
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,000
we've got projects moving 
forward and we have developed an

261
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,600
international task force and 
this international task force is

262
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,480
going to concentrate on 
different projects, you know, 

263
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,319
throughout this journey. 
And I, I've got nothing but 

264
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,359
admiration for these people. 
They work in a very similar way 

265
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,200
to what we work. 
And you know, I, like I said, 

266
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,480
we, we, we are delighted to have
met these people, especially the

267
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,440
ladies from the Reisman 
Institute as well. 

268
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,000
And we do have plans to fly 
these people over to the UK in 

269
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,880
April in time for our conference
conference and for stage two of 

270
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,960
our plan regarding the bills and
legislation that we want enforce

271
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,960
in every country around the 
world. 

272
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Right, let's pick up on one 
thing straight away, the Reisman

273
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,040
Institute. 
That's Judith Reisman no longer 

274
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:50,360
with us, but she did so much 
work to expose the work of 

275
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:54,760
Kinsey and his use of 
paedophiles to produce so-called

276
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,320
data on children. 
Horrific stuff. 

277
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,640
But that that's one of your key 
points that that's been brought 

278
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,800
into the education system in UK 
for very young children. 

279
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,200
The other thing is, and you just
mentioned to me a little bit 

280
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,160
before we became Live Today, 
that you're working now on a 

281
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,160
bill which you you want adopted.
Tell us a bit more about that, 

282
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,400
Bill. 
So back in the 1990s, Judith 

283
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Reisman produced a bill. 
This bill was to investigate 

284
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,200
Fred Kinseys influence over 
legislation and education. 

285
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320
This pill is supposed to remove 
all of that stuff. 

286
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
So this was in the 1990s. 
It got kicked into the long 

287
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,800
grass and the ladies from Purple
for Parents United Indiana. 

288
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,480
So Audrey, who has worked very 
closely with Judith for over 30 

289
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,200
years, Audrey was a sex 
educator. 

290
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,920
And there's Rhonda Miller who is
the CEO of Purple for Parents 

291
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,760
United. 
They have now revived that bill.

292
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,680
And that was the second part of 
our visit to Washington, DC. 

293
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,840
There was an entire day, a full 
day of meeting congressmen in 

294
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,800
their offices, presenting this 
bill, presenting footage of all 

295
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,400
of us from around the world, 
explaining what it's done to our

296
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,800
country, what it's done to our 
children. 

297
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,760
And that was received fantastic.
I think that was the best part 

298
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,080
of the whole trip. 
Highly exciting. 

299
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,800
So what we've decided is this 
needs to be a worldwide 

300
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,040
response. 
So out in America the bills have

301
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,160
got a code for what they call 
like HR5742 and things like 

302
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,920
that. 
Over here bills are named 

303
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,720
something different. 
So the bill we have produced for

304
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,440
the UK is called the Child 
Protection and Research Ethics 

305
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,040
Bill 2026 and this is what we 
need everybody to get behind. 

306
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,400
We have 17 parent groups who are
willing to get behind. 

307
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,240
It are their logos and their 
signatures. 

308
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,240
We have two barristers, we have 
some politicians out there and 

309
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,480
even though we are starting the 
campaign for this in January, we

310
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,520
plan to deliver. 
This bill to Parliament in 

311
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,560
April, during the time that we 
fly these wonderful ladies over 

312
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,000
to the UK, so all you guys will 
get a chance to meet these 

313
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,640
ladies yourself. 
You can join us in our 

314
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,160
conference and we will be going 
to Parliament to deliver it 

315
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,000
then. 
We're unable to deliver it to 

316
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,240
the Senate at that time in Wales
because we'll be going through 

317
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,600
an election. 
However, it will be handed in 

318
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,880
after the May election has taken
place. 

319
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,800
This is something we're excited 
about. 

320
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,120
We are not naive enough to think
of this is going to go through 

321
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,640
first time you know this started
in the 90s with Judith and it 

322
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,800
was kicking the long grass. 
But the fact that all of these 

323
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,840
countries are on board on this 
project is tailored to our own 

324
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,880
countries needs. 
We've already got people behind 

325
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,480
it. 
We're going to keep pushing it. 

326
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,240
We've got a piece of paper that 
we can actually fight with now, 

327
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,040
Brian, you know, an actual bill,
a piece of legislation that 

328
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,360
should have been in force a 
long, long time ago. 

329
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
So that's something we're 
massively excited about. 

330
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,040
I know our followers are 
delighted with that as well. 

331
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,160
And I cannot wait to see what 
the the next year brings. 

332
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,440
Well what a fantastic woman and 
she has achieved so much 

333
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,520
initially with the drive and 
enthusiast, her own drive and 

334
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,000
enthusiasm, but of course that 
brought other people on board 

335
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,640
and this is the whole point that
if we sit and do nothing we 

336
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,520
achieve nothing and if we stand 
up to start doing things we can 

337
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,840
achieve a huge amount. 
So from South Wales to 

338
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,320
international, all is the work 
of this group, Public Child 

339
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,480
Protection Wales, we just pop 
that up on the screen so that 

340
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,320
people can see the website. 
And of course, what are these 

341
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,040
amazing women doing? 
They're taking action to stop 

342
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:52,240
the state sexually grooming 
children through the education 

343
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,240
system. 
Diane, welcome to the to the 

344
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,040
news. 
And of course, you've been 

345
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,440
tracking what's been happening 
through the universities and the

346
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,560
libraries. 
What have you got? 

347
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,760
Yeah, thanks Brian. 
Really great to be here in 

348
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,840
Plymouth here today and hello to
everyone out there. 

349
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,560
And also thank you again for 
making you one of your gutsy 

350
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,240
women back in the past. 
Pleasure. 

351
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,480
Thank you. 
So last week in the American 

352
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,800
Library Association was Banned 
Books Week. 

353
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:20,160
And I want to look at this 
because we do have direct 

354
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,880
connections, obviously with the 
child grooming that's going on 

355
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:27,200
in libraries and schools and in 
in the UK and increasingly 

356
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,240
throughout the world. 
So last week with Banned Books 

357
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,520
Week, according to the American 
Library Association and others. 

358
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,120
So who is the chair of Banned 
Books Week 2025? 

359
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,040
Actually it's George Takei. 
Let's hear what George had to 

360
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,880
say about Banned Books Week. 
I'm George Takei, honorary chair

361
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:54,880
of Banned Books Week 2025 as one
of 125,000 Japanese Americans. 

362
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:01,280
Incarcerated in US concentration
camps during World War 2, I know

363
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:07,240
what it means to lose freedom. 
My graphic memoir, They Called 

364
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,880
Us Enemy, tells that story, and 
it has been banned multiple 

365
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,560
times. 
Why? 

366
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,360
Because it reveals unvarnished 
American history and shows how 

367
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:25,080
freedom can be taken away. 
Today, books about LGBTQ lies, 

368
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,680
including stories like my own, 
are also being targeted in 

369
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:35,000
schools, libraries and 
bookstores across the country. 

370
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:41,400
Those who banned books want to 
lock away ideas they fear. 

371
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,000
But in truth, they are trying to
steal our freedom. 

372
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,280
Our freedom to choose what we 
read and what our children read.

373
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:58,120
Our freedom to learn our full 
history, our freedom to see and 

374
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:04,160
understand each other. 
Banned Books Week is a time to 

375
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,200
remind our communities that 
access to books and knowledge is

376
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,760
essential to democracy. 
Readers deserve to see 

377
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,200
themselves as reflected in the 
stories we tell and to discover 

378
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,880
the stories of others. 
So together, let's stand up for 

379
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:31,160
the freedom to read so that all 
Americans can find ourselves and

380
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:38,360
find 
eachotherinbookslearnmore@bandbooksweek.org.

381
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,000
So what do you think, Brand? 
Are there any banned books? 

382
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,120
What do you think? 
Are books being banned? 

383
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,400
No, no they're not actually, no.
What it does mean though, 

384
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,600
however, is that some books, 
some books maybe are not age 

385
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,160
appropriate for children, 
correct. 

386
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,920
And as you might see, George 
Takai's book is sort of a 

387
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,840
graphic novel style, which 
typically appeals to young 

388
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,880
people, which I do not believe 
is age appropriate considering 

389
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,640
some of the content that is in 
that particular book. 

390
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,280
So let's take a look at some of 
this in greater detail, where 

391
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,840
this comes from and where it 
leads to. 

392
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,160
So the American Library 
Association has something that's

393
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,880
called the Office for 
Intellectual Freedom, which 

394
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,840
actually, if you look at it, is 
is really kind of the opposite. 

395
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,960
We look at things like that go 
things that go in front of 

396
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,160
adults and in front of 
university students that they 

397
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,680
want to ban those things, but 
they want to put everything 

398
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,240
possible in front of children. 
And that's kind of their whole 

399
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,080
agenda. 
Every library and other 

400
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960
associations are called 
grassroots organizations, but 

401
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,840
they have huge amounts of 
funding that are part of or 

402
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,360
related to in some way the 
American Library Association. 

403
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,920
Here's one of their things they 
did last week for Banned Books 

404
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,920
Week. 
It's called Read on Tools to 

405
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,080
help you prepare for and respond
to book challenges. 

406
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:01,120
So what happens in America is 
that you can actually challenge 

407
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:02,440
books. 
It's what they call it. 

408
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,320
A concerned parents, 
grandparents, and other citizens

409
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,800
who believe that things like 
violence, sexual content, 

410
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,920
etcetera, should not be placed 
in children's sections in public

411
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,920
libraries or in school 
libraries. 

412
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,040
So this was an instruction 
manual essentially, or an 

413
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,720
instruction webinar for 
librarians on how to deal with 

414
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,560
the the pesky idea that children
should not be looking at certain

415
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,120
things and that parents want to 
bring this up And what, what can

416
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,760
we do with those horrible 
homophobic parents? 

417
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,600
American Library Association has
the top 10 most challenged books

418
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,400
every year. 
The list from 2024. 

419
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,960
The number of books that are 
mostly LGBTQ or sexualized 

420
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,960
content in general is very high.
And they're mostly written for 

421
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,640
children, not based on the 
content, but based on the 

422
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,280
reading level. 
So we can say something, it 

423
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,200
maybe is for children, but it 
the content is not just based on

424
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,800
the words that are used in the 
book. 

425
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,520
So I heart Libraries is another 
one of these organizations that 

426
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,000
talks about banned books week in
relation to the American Library

427
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,520
Association. 
They have a whole website. 

428
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,640
All of these links to these 
organizations will be in the 

429
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,600
show notes. 
Amanda Jones I don't know if 

430
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,320
anybody remembers when I talked 
about Miss Jones last year, I 

431
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,240
believe it was on UK column. 
She wrote this book called Bat 

432
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:21,480
Librarian, which has a large 
range of I wouldn't say that it 

433
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,160
was academic or intellectual or 
library professional 

434
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,680
information, but it certainly 
was a polemic about how much her

435
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,120
life was horrible when people 
started to challenge the books 

436
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:31,600
that she was putting in front of
children. 

437
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,600
So if we look at this this 
information here she is now one 

438
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,800
of the world's most influential 
rising stars in the top 100 

439
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,160
according to Time magazine. 
And she has a wonderful profile 

440
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,400
written about her by Sarah 
Jessica Parker, who is the 

441
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,440
executive producer of a 
documentary that was released 

442
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,360
recently called The Librarians, 
which features librarians like 

443
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,840
Amanda who are all about putting
sexual content in front of 

444
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,360
children. 
And this is a a quote from the 

445
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,360
book that I reviewed for the 
Scottish Union of Education and 

446
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:04,200
as well as here and UK call them
last year. 

447
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,240
And I just want to read the 
words of Amanda Jones that was 

448
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,920
in this book that has all kinds 
of funding behind it. 

449
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,440
Quote. 
Have you ever just wanted to 

450
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,920
punch someone in the face with 
all your might? 

451
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,440
Maybe someone has said something
awful to you and the thought 

452
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,840
crossed your mind that a good 
ass whipping sorry Ryan would 

453
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,120
wipe the smirk off their face 
and teach them a lesson. 

454
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,400
I don't advocate violence, but I
have thought about how good it 

455
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,760
would be to feel my haters in 
the groin. 

456
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,680
And the haters are the people of
course, who are challenging 

457
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,520
putting this content in front of
children. 

458
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,280
The Influence Watch website 
talks about Ala and we can see 

459
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,640
their budget from 2022 is 
millions and millions of 

460
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,360
dollars, $91,000,000 in assets 
as of 2022. 

461
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,120
So there is obviously huge 
amounts of globalist funding and

462
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,760
other types of funding put it 
going behind the American 

463
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,800
Library Association. 
This is their number one banned 

464
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,400
book from 2024 called All Boys 
Aren't Blue by George M Johnson.

465
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,120
If I could just quickly read the
synopsis from the back cover 

466
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,320
there saying George by the way, 
is they they them? 

467
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,320
From getting their teeth kicked 
out by bullies at age 5, to 

468
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,160
their loving family 
relationships, to their first 

469
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,840
sexual experience. 
Sexual experience. 

470
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,400
There we go. 
Those powerful stories wrestle 

471
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,840
with triumph and tragedy, 
leaving a rich tapestry of 

472
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,560
experiences both everyday and 
extraordinarily. 

473
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,960
Covering topics such as gender 
identity, toxic masculinity, 

474
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,560
brotherhood, inequality, consent
and black joy, George's 

475
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,640
remarkable story is a story for 
us all. 

476
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,560
Now you might think, OK, that's 
fine, he's got a story to tell. 

477
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,880
However, if we look at libraries
around the UK and around the 

478
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,920
West, this one is placed on the 
shelf in the children's non 

479
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,880
fiction section. 
This is from a library here in 

480
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,560
England up in the Northeast in 
the sort of the Stockton and 

481
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,680
Tees. 
I believe it is from this 

482
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,080
library. 
And we can see the subject 

483
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,080
descriptions include juvenile 
literature, gays, identity, 

484
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,960
juvenile literature, teenage non
fiction, audience level, 

485
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,960
adolescent. 
And it is placed in the 

486
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,920
children's non fiction material 
like, oh, sorry, this was in 

487
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,400
York libraries. 
This is York Explorer, but this 

488
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,480
is around the country. 
We can find these examples. 

489
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,560
So at this point, I'd like to 
bring in Kathy Mudge who is a 

490
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,800
guest with us today. 
She's been on UK column 

491
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,040
previously an interview with me 
and on the news she is from 

492
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,360
Protect and Teach. 
Kathy, welcome. 

493
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,040
And could you tell us about some
of the amazing activism work 

494
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,920
that you have been doing 
locally, please? 

495
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,320
Yeah, sure. 
Well, we went to our local 

496
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,800
library, Exeter, and we went 
round the shelves and found four

497
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,880
books which you've got posted 
there. 

498
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,760
We could have probably found 
more if we looked longer. 

499
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,960
And we decided to challenge the 
librarians about their books and

500
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,600
the content in the books. 
So we are to speak to the 

501
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:50,400
librarian manager. 
He came down to speak to us and 

502
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,720
we showed in the book and we 
explained our concerns about the

503
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,120
fact that it discusses 
sexuality. 

504
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,800
It actually teaches children 
about gender identity, sexual 

505
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,040
relationships and different 
families. 

506
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,920
And we thought it was 
inappropriate that it was in the

507
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,840
children's section, all brightly
coloured to attract children in.

508
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,680
We found the average age of 
children going in with eight is 

509
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,560
unaccompanied by adults. 
So from 8 years old they can 

510
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,960
pick these books up. 
So I've got a few examples of 

511
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,320
books that you sent me from your
visit to the library. 

512
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,040
If you could maybe just I'll put
these on the screen if you can 

513
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,240
just tell us what these books 
are and just to say that you 

514
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,520
people can look up these titles 
for themselves if they would 

515
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,440
like to do so. 
OK, well, first of all, as you 

516
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,320
can see, it's LGBTQ plus. 
What is the plus? 

517
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,800
No one ever tells us that bit. 
It's advertising the frag. 

518
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:47,040
That's the Pride progress flag. 
The inverted V is to do with 

519
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,760
trans children. 
And basically we call it the 

520
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,040
transmutilation flag because the
child mutilation flag because 

521
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,560
that's really what it 
represents. 

522
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,240
So whenever you see that flying,
be very aware that they're 

523
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,200
targeting children. 
It's not just about the LGB. 

524
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,160
The LGB are trying to reclaim 
just the rainbow stripes and the

525
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,360
rainbow flag. 
So that was one that we found. 

526
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,240
Again, you can see on the front 
there, it's all about it's 

527
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,120
mixing things up. 
It's called it's queering 

528
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,520
Children, really. 
Again, linking in with your 

529
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,880
earlier talk that you had about 
Wells and the work they're doing

530
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,400
there. 
All of these books, we don't 

531
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,920
want them bound. 
We just want them in the adult 

532
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,400
section. 
If an adult wants to get it out,

533
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,880
by all means do, but I don't 
think that children should be 

534
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,680
able to. 
They're also holding a queer day

535
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,960
there, a Queer Fest on Saturday 
in Exeter Library, where our 

536
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,480
children and families are 
invited to go in and discuss 

537
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,920
being queer and how to introduce
LGBTQ into your school. 

538
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,840
Yeah. 
And so we've got here if we 

539
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,040
could go on to the 
decolonization issue, Kathy, as 

540
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,320
I've covered previously on UK 
column, decolonization in 

541
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,320
university settings and museums 
and increasingly other 

542
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,400
organizations are basically is 
what they're doing is, is 

543
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,000
changing curriculum, changing 
books in libraries, changing 

544
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,400
what students are being taught 
at all levels because we can't, 

545
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,320
for example, have white men from
Britain. 

546
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,480
Sorry, Brian, not allowed 
because, you know, you need to 

547
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,920
be decolonized. 
So here's an example from the 

548
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,400
University of Exeter 
decolonizing your reading list. 

549
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,760
And so this is happening in 
universities around the UK. 

550
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,680
So anything written by a 
straight right white man, sorry,

551
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,720
again, Brian, needs to be 
decolonized because it is no 

552
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,200
longer considered to be 
inclusive or diverse enough. 

553
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,480
So Kathy, just a bit more here 
that you've done some Fois on 

554
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,600
what what they were doing with 
decolonizing library collections

555
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,880
at the University of Exeter. 
So what happened when you sent 

556
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,880
that FOI? 
Yeah. 

557
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,400
So following up from working 
with children, we wanted to find

558
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,560
out what they were doing with 
their books and the books they 

559
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,600
were teaching teachers with next
to library. 

560
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,640
So we sent an FOI in which we 
wanted to find out the minutes 

561
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,920
of their decolonisation meeting 
that they held regularly and who

562
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,800
was funding them. 
Because we'd really like to know

563
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,960
who's paying for this 
decolonisation, where the money 

564
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,239
is coming from, because I think 
that would be very interesting. 

565
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:15,800
And they refused the first two 
questions of our FOI, which you 

566
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,560
can see there. 
And they said they didn't hold 

567
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,440
any information, they basically 
done a computer search and that 

568
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,480
they didn't show up. 
So I didn't believe that that 

569
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,760
was possible, that you didn't 
have minutes of meetings which 

570
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,000
signed as though someone would 
have been keeping them 

571
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,360
somewhere. 
So I asked for an internal 

572
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,440
review. 
And again, after the return 

573
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,639
internal review, they felt happy
that the computer search they've

574
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,679
done on my original questions 
was fine. 

575
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,040
So I've now centred on Further 
and the Ombudsman. 

576
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,800
Hopefully we might get some 
feedback there, but minutes 

577
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,520
should not be hidden. 
What are they doing there? 

578
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,560
They're involving young people. 
That's what we found. 

579
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,400
We found from their pictures 
from text on on Twitter and 

580
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,960
stuff asking young people which 
books they'd like to be removed 

581
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,280
from extra university. 
So they start at university age 

582
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,760
and start removing the books 
that they should be being taught

583
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,200
on. 
And as you know, there's an 

584
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,440
issue with that then for people 
who want to get books at. 

585
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,280
Absolutely. 
So I think the the real 

586
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,960
hypocrisy here that's going on, 
Brian, is that we're attacking 

587
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,800
the children and putting 
everything in front of them. 

588
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,800
And if we don't agree with 
putting sexual content in front 

589
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,200
of children in the library 
sections, then then we are 

590
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,760
somehow homophobic. 
And if we are against the fact 

591
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,680
that we are removing things like
British history from British 

592
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,440
libraries and British university
teaching, then we are not 

593
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,480
inclusive. 
So we see the inversion 

594
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,920
happening here, Brian. 
Absolute inversion. 

595
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Absolutely. 
So what I would like to point 

596
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,360
out is tomorrow I have an 
article that's being published 

597
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,320
on the Scottish Union for 
Education sub stack which will 

598
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,560
be available and I'll also 
continue to maybe share that 

599
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,440
through UK column as well, if 
that's possible. 

600
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,160
This will be about my coverage 
that I've done previously in 

601
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,520
Granddad's Pride, Granddad's 
Camper, where we exactly what 

602
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,080
they're trying to do with 
children, to parentify children 

603
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,680
and to put symbols in front of 
children that do not belong in 

604
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,160
front of them. 
So that's quite an extensive 

605
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,200
article that will be out 
tomorrow, Brian. 

606
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,400
And just to just so everyone is 
aware, next year's banned books 

607
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,000
week has already been announced 
for the 4th of through 10th of 

608
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,240
October 2026. 
So we have something to work 

609
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:25,120
toward, not to support, but to 
say no notebooks are banned. 

610
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,320
They are just maybe, hopefully 
placed in the right place in the

611
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,120
library. 
Brian. 

612
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,640
Yes, OK. 
Well, we thank Kathy for that 

613
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,560
report. 
And of course, Kathy is another 

614
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:41,120
activist that has absolutely 
been pressing to expose what's 

615
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,680
actually what's actually 
happening Now. 

616
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:51,640
Then we've got, sorry, just come
on to a slightly different 

617
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,720
section now because we're back 
on the subject of activism. 

618
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:59,000
And back in 2021, UK column was 
reporting on a lady called 

619
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,760
Debbie Hicks who had exposed 
that a hospital, Gloucester 

620
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,240
Hospital, was empty with regard 
to COVID patients. 

621
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,640
And she was ultimately arrested 
for filming an empty hospital. 

622
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,400
This is how desperate the system
was. 

623
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:20,480
I spoke to Deb, spoke to Debbie 
a couple of days ago and she was

624
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,280
telling me about an event on the
25th of October, what it's about

625
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,080
and what she is trying to do as 
an activist. 

626
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,800
So absolutely we're staying on 
this theme of activism and these

627
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,200
wonderful women who are making 
things happen. 

628
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,720
They are not sitting at home 
just commenting about what's 

629
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:40,200
taking place. 
So let's have a listen to what 

630
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,400
Debbie Hicks had to say. 
Hello Debbie. 

631
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,800
Thank you very much for joining 
UK column News Today. 

632
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,720
Now a little while ago I I was 
given an advert for an event in 

633
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:55,000
Cardiff. 
It was near the Nye Bevan 

634
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,960
statue. 
Nye Bevan of course being the 

635
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:05,400
man who created the NHS and the 
the leaflets or the the advert 

636
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:11,200
was was about no to digital ID 
and no to conscription in the 

637
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,080
military. 
So you've been helping set this 

638
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,440
up. 
What is it about and what do you

639
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,880
hope to achieve? 
Yeah, the the event is, is a day

640
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,080
of outreach that's planned. 
It's not a rally, it's not a 

641
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,960
March, it's a day of outreach. 
So we're planning to leaflet as 

642
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,760
many people as possible about 
digital ID and about 

643
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,920
conscription and to go around to
shop some businesses and talk to

644
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,120
them and have as many 
conversations as possible. 

645
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,160
So it's about digital ID, it's 
about resisting digital ID, 

646
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:53,400
about how to not comply, saying 
no, what people can do, but also

647
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,320
linking it together with the 
likelihood, the very strong 

648
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,560
likelihood of war conscription 
in this country that Keir 

649
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,200
Starmer and Rishi Sunak have 
talked about over the last 

650
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,880
couple of years. 
So it's it's putting those two 

651
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,800
messages together to get people 
to see that this digital ID is 

652
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:20,960
likely to be used for more 
conscription to coerce people. 

653
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,400
Debbie, I certainly share your 
concerns over that and a little 

654
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,240
while ago Charles Malice and 
myself did a recorded 

655
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,880
conversation about the military 
advantages. 

656
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,120
I can look back on my own career
and there was there was a lot of

657
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,000
time that I really enjoyed. 
I learnt lots of things out of 

658
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,600
it. 
But the thought of fighting one 

659
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:49,280
of these proxy wars on behalf of
Keir Starmer truly frightening. 

660
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,920
A really disgusting thing. 
And both Charles and myself felt

661
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,280
that we couldn't, in 2025 
recommend the military as a 

662
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,960
career to young people because 
of the risks. 

663
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,360
That's one point and the other. 
The point I'd make to you is 

664
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,680
that we discovered a little 
while ago that the MOD was 

665
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:12,000
boasting it had more young 
cadets than actual. 

666
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,160
People in the military in in the
in the British Army. 

667
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,640
So there's no doubt at all that 
they are eyeing up young people 

668
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,920
as a means to filling the armed 
forces, presumably for yet more 

669
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,560
proxy wars overseas. 
Yeah, no, absolutely. 

670
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,880
I mean for me I'm, you know, one
of my driving forces as an 

671
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,480
activist. 
I've been an activist most of my

672
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,800
life. 
Last five years I've been quite 

673
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,560
prolific and unknown for my anti
lockdown activism and also for 

674
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,240
keeping cash and my driving 
force in particular is my young 

675
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,840
son. 
I've got an 18 year old son, not

676
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,080
just my son. 
I just see this whole younger 

677
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,760
generation. 
I don't want to see them as 

678
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,720
cannon fodder. 
Brian, I'm sorry. 

679
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,800
I don't want to lose my son in a
bankers war. 

680
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,800
No, I'm no, I can't do it. 
And I just feel if there's any 

681
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,800
time in history where people are
more aware of what was or about,

682
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,400
you know, we've, we've, we've 
got all that history, that whole

683
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,680
never again, what happened to 
say never again, you know, the 

684
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,840
war to end all wars. 
And I just feel like now's the 

685
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,560
time when we can go out and put 
the message over that there are 

686
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,720
ways to resist and that we need 
to see that these digital 

687
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:35,800
systems are likely to coerce our
children and that fighting back 

688
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,640
with that is the way is the way 
to do it. 

689
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,280
Now something that there's an 
important part part about this 

690
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,840
gathering of people in Cardiff 
and just to make sure, it's the 

691
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:53,720
25th of October at 11:00. 
But you're talking about 

692
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:58,480
leafleting, you're talking about
talking to members of the public

693
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,840
and shops and businesses. 
So this is not about allowed 

694
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,600
protest with banners. 
This is about trying to actually

695
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,080
engage the public and and 
educate them really as to to the

696
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,240
concerns that you've got. 
Is that right? 

697
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,040
It's a. 
Big conversation really. 

698
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,240
It's my particular style of 
baptism that I've done over the 

699
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:24,480
years that I enjoy and I, I feel
it works and I feel the topic 

700
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,680
like this with digital ID, which
we know is very unpopular. 

701
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,360
And war, of course, no one wants
war. 

702
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,280
No one wants their children to 
do this. 

703
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,920
I wouldn't. 
I wouldn't imagine many people 

704
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,120
anyway. 
I feel that we can do this in a 

705
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,440
in a non partisan way. 
It's not, it's not going to 

706
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,400
alienate people. 
It's the topic that I think 

707
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,320
everyone will will understand if
we talk to them. 

708
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:52,600
And yeah, I mean, the beauty of 
this kind of outreach is we can 

709
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,560
do something called cascading, 
something I learned from years 

710
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,880
ago when I used to be involved 
in Labour politics for my sins. 

711
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,760
We're going to, but it's this 
idea, it's it really works 

712
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,720
actually is if you have a 
conversation with somebody and 

713
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,760
they agree with you, you say, 
can you please have that 

714
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,400
conversation with somebody else?
And if they agree with you, ask 

715
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,680
them to do the same. 
And it's just a really powerful 

716
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,640
way of getting those 
conversations going. 

717
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,080
And anybody that's listening can
do the same with you, agree with

718
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,480
what we're talking about today 
with what I'm talking about. 

719
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,160
Do that with a friend, do it 
with family and ask them to do 

720
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,480
to do the same. 
Yeah, W this is excellent and it

721
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,560
certainly fits the encouragement
the UK columns been giving the 

722
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,840
audience of not to just sit 
there and get depressed and 

723
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,240
anxious at what's happening is 
to actually stand up and do 

724
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:43,480
something. 
And what you're suggesting is 

725
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,520
very easy. 
Start a conversation doesn't 

726
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,200
work, you move on to the next 
people, next person. 

727
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,840
But when it does work, you ask 
them to share that. 

728
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,840
Now you've also got some quite 
high profile guests for your 

729
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,400
gathering, you've got Andrew 
Bridgen and Piers Corbyn. 

730
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,600
Are there going to be some 
formal talks to the to the 

731
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,720
public present? 
My opening speech is just to 

732
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:11,520
kind of rally people up and get 
them, you know, get them 

733
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,720
thinking about these things, 
quite sombre kind of message of 

734
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,480
the way what we're talking 
about. 

735
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:20,400
But also to rally people up and 
say, come on, you know, we we 

736
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,800
can mobilise, we can get out, we
can do things like we did 

737
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,760
cheering lockdown with the risk 
of COVID passports. 

738
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,960
We were, we were all out over 
the country doing this during 

739
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,880
2021. 
And I feel it actually made a 

740
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,240
big difference actually. 
So I think we need to do that 

741
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:37,320
again. 
We need that spirit, we need 

742
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,520
that energy. 
And I'm hoping these events will

743
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:44,400
really buoy people up with 
Andrew and and Piers. 

744
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,720
Yeah. 
Right. 

745
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:48,560
That, that's absolutely great. 
Final comment for me, it's 

746
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,040
really interesting, but it 
appears that South Wales in 

747
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,600
particular has got a lot of Dr. 
amongst the public. 

748
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,480
You've got all the tremendous 
efforts of Kim Isherwood and her

749
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,040
team doing Public Child 
Protection Wales. 

750
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,080
I've been speaking to several 
other people in South Wales over

751
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,400
the last few days and they're 
all talking about being active, 

752
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,600
getting people to go out and 
communicate with people, not 

753
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,400
just to be on the streets with a
banner shouting. 

754
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,280
So really fascinating segment. 
There are lots of positive 

755
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,280
advice about how to actually 
make things happen with other 

756
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,600
people. 
For anybody that can get to 

757
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,680
Cardiff on the 15th, this is the
details. 

758
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,040
So the meeting is at 11 o'clock 
in the morning and it's next to 

759
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:41,800
the Bevend statue in sorry, that
should be statue in Queen St. in

760
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,600
Cardiff. 
So if you can get there, please 

761
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,560
do. 
And I was referring to a 

762
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,960
discussion between myself and 
Charles Mallett to do with does 

763
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,920
the does your country need you, 
should you join up to the 

764
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,280
military? 
And that's it on screen. 

765
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,840
Now we'd like to say that many 
people still don't understand 

766
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,720
that UK Column has got a 
website. 

767
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:05,080
And we've had a website, of 
course, for nearly the 20 years 

768
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,520
we've been going. 
If you have a look at it, there 

769
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,280
are thousands of videos and 
articles, a huge amount of 

770
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,480
information. 
And to get best effect of the 

771
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,120
website, if you've got a topic, 
go on to UK Column website and 

772
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,760
actually use the search bar to 
see what information and 

773
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,760
articles and video clips come up
as a way of starting your 

774
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,360
research and of course also 
finding your way around the 

775
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,840
enormous amount of material 
that's on our website. 

776
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,680

00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,680
course helps us out because we 
can only do what we do because 

782
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,040
of the wonderful financial 
support by members and 

783
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,920
supporters. 
Now we've got more information 

784
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,000
coming up on the UK column 
stream. 

785
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,960
We've got Germ warfare tonight 
at 7:00 with Bruce Fenton. 

786
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:16,040
He suddenly look at at the 
origins of the human race. 

787
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:20,640
And this is just an open 
discussion on on where humans 

788
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,800
came from in the beginning and 
how they migrated throughout the

789
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,560
world. 
So that's fascinating. 

790
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:31,680
We've also got Charles Mallett 
with Morgan Laurette, and that's

791
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,880
entitled A World Full of 
Mercenaries. 

792
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:42,240
That's tomorrow at 1:00 PM, the 
Patrick Henningson talk from the

793
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:44,680
Hope Freedom Music Festival of a
little while ago. 

794
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,800
That's now up on the UK Column 
website. 

795
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,520
Do have a listen to what Pam, 
what Pat had to say. 

796
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,920
And of course, there'll be 
further information and talks 

797
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,680
from the rest of the UK Column 
team. 

798
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,000
Now we've got this one, which is
another major event in London, 

799
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,160
central London at 1:00 PM 
Saturday the 18th of October. 

800
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:11,160
This is to protest against 
digital ID and all the laws 

801
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,360
coming in around that. 
And Patrick Henningson will be 

802
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,640
present in London, so that will 
be worth attending if you can. 

803
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,200
And I think we've got a couple 
here for you, Diane. 

804
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,840
Is that right? 
Yeah, Thanks, Brian. 

805
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,440
This is an article that was 
published on the UK column 

806
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,440
website a few days ago. 
Speaking of all of the thousands

807
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,400
of articles we have on the 
website, this one is by Sarah 

808
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,960
Newland. 
This is part one of two about 

809
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,680
surrogacy, about the dystopian 
situation around surrogacy and 

810
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,360
what it causes and and what's 
happening. 

811
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,600
And she spoke about this article
and her work on surrogacy just a

812
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,840
few days ago on Wake Up with 
Sonia Poulton. 

813
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,840
So check out her interview there
and also read the article on her

814
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,920
website. 
And as well as talking about 

815
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,720
digital ID events, I will be 
speaking at a major digital ID 

816
00:48:56,720 --> 00:49:00,080
event in Newcastle on the 1st of
November at the monument at 12 

817
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,400
noon along with Fiona Rose 
Diamond and at least one other 

818
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,000
speaker. 
So it should be a great event if

819
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,960
you are with me up in the north,
or if you're not come to see me 

820
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,120
anyway up in Newcastle on the 
1st of November. 

821
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,760
OK, thank you very much. 
All about activism, meeting 

822
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,480
people, meeting up, being able 
to do things together. 

823
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,200
So this is very positive stuff. 
Lastly, just give another 

824
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,560
mention of course to UK column 
on location coming up this 

825
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,280
Saturday. 
It's going to be brilliant to 

826
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,280
see you all. 
I'll just say that we we are 

827
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,960
pressing as much as we can for 
anybody who's up in the area on 

828
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:38,920
Friday to register booking for 
the UK column event between 

829
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,720
Humpus 6 and 8:00. 
This will help us on the 

830
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,720
Saturday morning, ease some of 
the pressure of people coming 

831
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:48,040
through. 
But it's going to be wonderful 

832
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,960
to meet you there. 
And of course we will be talking

833
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,360
to the online audience. 
So if you can't come to the 

834
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,440
actual event, well, all the 
tickets are gone now. 

835
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,920
But if you want to come in over 
the Internet, then you can get 

836
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,480
an online ticket and we will be 
speaking to you as if you were 

837
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,920
in the room with us. 
Diane, you've got a a quick 

838
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,080
update on Finethi. 
Yes, Finethi ladies. 

839
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,040
Yes, thanks, Brian. 
So the Finethi Residential 

840
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,120
School trial against Patricia 
Robertson, I can say at this 

841
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,960
point that the jury is out. 
We are currently waiting for a 

842
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,520
decision. 
There was some mainstream media 

843
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,600
coverage of the start of the 
trial a few weeks ago. 

844
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,520
Here's one example from STV News
of talking about the start of 

845
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,160
the trial. 
This was just from the first 

846
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:37,240
day, but I can say that the 
trial is almost over as soon as 

847
00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:40,960
we get a decision. 
I went to attend one day of the 

848
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,080
trial and listen to some 
testimonies from at the time was

849
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,280
three former staff at Fernethi 
Residential School who testified

850
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,920
examined by the Crown 
Prosecution. 

851
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,720
And here's just a photo of some 
of the women that were with me 

852
00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:57,520
who are Fernethi survivors who 
were have been attending almost 

853
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,440
every day of the trial. 
This was outside of the High 

854
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,840
Court in Glasgow. 
And some of these women are 

855
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,600
familiar to UK column because 
Brian has interviewed them 

856
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,320
previously as gutsy women. 
So more women speaking out and 

857
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,200
trying to fight for their rights
and justice that they deserve. 

858
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,920
Brilliant. 
Thank you very much, Diane. 

859
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,000
Vanessa, let's bring you back 
with us. 

860
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,960
And you've got a report about 
what's happening with children 

861
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,640
and I think including 
trafficking of children. 

862
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,640
It looks very much like it. 
I mean, basically somebody 

863
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:34,000
tagged me into a video post 
yesterday on X, which was 

864
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,440
slightly alarming when I first 
looked at it, but got 

865
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,520
increasingly more alarming the 
deeper down the Bunny hole that 

866
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,080
I went. 
So let's just play, first of 

867
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,560
all, a section of the video that
that was on X. 

868
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,800
And this is Tim Ballard 
speaking. 

869
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,960
We just crossed. 
I think this is our 177th border

870
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,680
crossing in the last 48 hours. 
The way we infilled was not 

871
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,240
traditional but very much 
deliberate. 

872
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,160
We, we basically leveraged 
several different partnerships. 

873
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,520
But like you don't know who is 
who anywhere, especially in Indo

874
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,720
Syria. 
Once we got in, we, we, it was 

875
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:15,240
mission accomplished. 
We got to see everything. 

876
00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:16,960
We saw all the people we wanted 
to see. 

877
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,960
We got the evidence we needed. 
This evidence is going to be 

878
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,880
valuable because it's the thing 
that triggers the. 

879
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:29,240
The, the, the, the clause in the
agreement between Syria, US and 

880
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:32,240
Jordan that allows the United 
States to come in and secure the

881
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:34,360
corridor. 
So that was very key to get that

882
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,240
evidence. 
But really it was to see the 

883
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:39,280
kids, see the people, bring hope
to them, let them know that 

884
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,280
people do love them. 
They feel very unloved. 

885
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,880
And I don't blame them because 
nobody in the entire world of 

886
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,800
billions of people has done much
of anything. 

887
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:55,880
It's just crazy. 
So that's the introduction to 

888
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,400
Tim Ballard that I had 
yesterday, and then I started to

889
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,080
look into it. 
So first of all, from a 

890
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,120
political perspective, we've 
spoken many times. 

891
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:08,320
This is an article in Haaretz, 
fairly recent one that Israel 

892
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,480
was basically weaponizing the 
conflict that grew out of 

893
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:16,640
Jolani's attacks through the 
tribal forces on the communities

894
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:21,120
of Swedar in southern Syria that
led to some appalling massacres.

895
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,120
Israel seeks humanitarian 
corridor of influence in Syria, 

896
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,880
threatening regime stability. 
Regime of course is now the Al 

897
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:34,600
Qaeda regime put in power by the
British, Israel, Turkey and the 

898
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,600
US. 
This is just quickly to show 

899
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,720
people the map. 
So the yellow arrow at the 

900
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,960
bottom going from the occupied 
Golan territory, which is Syrian

901
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,720
territory, of course, being 
gifted to Israel by President 

902
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:49,320
Trump, shows how the 
humanitarian corridor that 

903
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,840
Israel wants to create will 
cross through Dada in the South 

904
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,880
and into Sweda. 
And then join with what is known

905
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,560
as the David Corridor, which 
will give Israel access up the 

906
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:04,360
eastern border with Iraq and 
Jordan and Syria and join up 

907
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,080
with the Kurdish separatist 
factions in the North East. 

908
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,800
So that's that's the political 
aspect of of what Tim Ballard is

909
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,280
doing. 
And that's what I was first 

910
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,320
focused on. 
And here he is in the same 

911
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,240
video, basically confirming that
he's working for Israel. 

912
00:54:21,240 --> 00:54:27,520
So if we just run this. 
But it was mission accomplished 

913
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,120
and now we've got to get to 
Jerusalem to get the information

914
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,200
to the right government 
officials to go to the next 

915
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,640
phase, which is established A 
corridor, get provisions and 

916
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,000
continue to liberate and 
restore. 

917
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,400
So very clear confirmation there
that he is working for the 

918
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,080
Israeli regime in securing their
assets in southern Syria. 

919
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:54,880
Then I started to look into who 
is Tim Ballard, and this came up

920
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,120
as the Tim Ballard Foundation, 
which is where the alarm bells 

921
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:03,000
started to sound very loudly. 
As you can see there, he's a 

922
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,240
vigilante focusing on ending 
child trafficking. 

923
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,720
Now, as soon as I see that 
generally speaking, particularly

924
00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:14,960
in American NGOs or UK 
government backed NGOs, I 

925
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,840
immediately start to get highly 
suspicious that rather than 

926
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,000
preventing child trafficking, 
they might actually have a hand 

927
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,000
in facilitating it. 
Very close to President Trump. 

928
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,840
This was back in 2019. 
He was brought into Trump's 

929
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,920
administration to help Trump 
argue for a border wall in the 

930
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,960
in the South with Mexico on the 
basis of course, that it will 

931
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,320
halt sex trafficking. 
He's from Utah. 

932
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,800
That's why Tim Ballard on, on 
Trump's right there is with him 

933
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,760
and is very, very close to Trump
even now. 

934
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,000
Which of course, immediately 
also made me start thinking of 

935
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,600
the the Epstein files and, and 
Trump's refusal to release 

936
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,400
information because it's very 
difficult to avoid that kind of 

937
00:55:59,720 --> 00:56:03,440
connection when we're looking at
someone who's dealing as a 

938
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:08,760
vigilante with the extraction of
children from child trafficking 

939
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,160
rings, allegedly. 
Then let's have a look at the 

940
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,560
this is an interview that he did
very recently in the last few 

941
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,720
days with a Christian Zionist 
outfit called Media Line. 

942
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,920
The headline there says it all. 
Tim Ballard sacrifices all to 

943
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,320
save Syrian children. 
Again, alarm bells are going off

944
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:32,280
and I just took out the main 
details from the article on Tim 

945
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,400
Ballard, which again are not 
going to be very reassuring. 

946
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,160
Over a decade as a special agent
for the Department of Homeland 

947
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,760
Security. 
Close friends, as he says in the

948
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,480
article, with President Trump 
working with the Israeli regime 

949
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,560
to access Sweder, as we've just 
mentioned, promoting the Abraham

950
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,040
Accords, which of course his 
normalization with the Gulf Arab

951
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:58,040
states, with Israel, and he's 
pushing Syria towards such a 

952
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:02,440
normalization. 
He was in Iraq 2017 to 19. 

953
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:07,080
He allegedly evacuated 10,000 
Yazidis and Christians to 

954
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,760
Australia. 
He was also involved in Haiti. 

955
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,400
He adopted two children himself,
which according to Against Child

956
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,080
Trafficking is nothing more than
legalized trafficking if you're 

957
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,840
actually going to adopt A child 
from its indigenous country and 

958
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,520
bring it outside of that country
to another culture. 

959
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,800
And currently he's pivoting 
towards Latin America, of 

960
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:33,240
course, as Trump is ramping up 
propaganda, particularly against

961
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,640
Venezuela again. 
And I started to go further. 

962
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:41,320
This was an article in the New 
York Times in October 2024. 

963
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,320
To the world, he's an anti 
trafficking hero. 

964
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,120
Women tell a different story. 
So what is this all about? 

965
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:54,400
Effectively, six women have 
brought cases of aggravated 

966
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,960
abuse and assault against them. 
Sexual abuse. 

967
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,080
If we actually look at one of 
the examples in the article 

968
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,600
itself, and then I'll cover 
several more. 

969
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,960
In interviews and legal papers, 
the women described similar 

970
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,400
scenarios. 
Mr. Ballard recruited them to 

971
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,920
act as his romantic partner in 
undercover operations in which 

972
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,840
they would pose as wealthy sex 
tourists, A tactic he referred 

973
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,200
to as a couple's ruse. 
It had two purposes, he told 

974
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,240
them. 
It provided an easy excuse to 

975
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,480
avoid having sexual contact with
the sex workers. 

976
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,120
And some people might need more 
open to confiding in a woman. 

977
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,960
Apparently the the the role play
went beyond of the actual 

978
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,360
operation. 
What he would say is that as 

979
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,760
they're constantly under 
surveillance by the trafficking 

980
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,960
gangs, he would have to prove to
them that he had a sexual 

981
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,440
relationship with the women that
he had trapped into, as they 

982
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,120
believed helping children. 
So he would sexually assault 

983
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,760
them in the car or in the hotel 
room, in the office and so on. 

984
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,520
He was also reported as having 
handed over money to sex 

985
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:05,360
traffickers to procure underage 
teenagers for sex. 

986
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,480
But which as someone said, 
that's tantamount to to creating

987
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,360
a market for the very thing that
he's ostensibly trying to 

988
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:17,600
prevent. 
He created or he was the subject

989
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,600
of a film called The Sound of 
Freedom. 

990
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,360
The executive producer on that, 
Paul Hutchison, was actually 

991
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:27,800
filmed, for want of a better 
word, groping an underage 

992
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,480
teenager on film. 
Ballard excused that behaviour 

993
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,200
by saying that he had invested 
heavily in Ballard's operations.

994
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,040
Hutchinson himself has now 
started a Child Liberation 

995
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:44,440
foundation again to rescue 
children from sex trafficking. 

996
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,640
So I just want to play this 
section of his latest interview.

997
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,840
Ballard's latest interview with 
Media Line, where he protests 

998
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,000
the cases against him. 
Maybe 4. 

999
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,000
So it's all going to come out. 
You know, it's funny that when I

1000
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,560
won in court in Utah, the media 
in Utah who's who's owned and 

1001
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,640
controlled by the very people 
who are trying to keep me 

1002
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,480
looking bad because if I'm, if 
I'm guilty. 

1003
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,400
If I'm innocent, they're guilty,
right? 

1004
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,400
And so they'll do anything. 
So I literally win in court and 

1005
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,600
they spin and lie to make me 
look like the bad guy. 

1006
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,920
Like it's unbelievable. 
Don't trust any news outlet, 

1007
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,280
right? 
They're all none of them are 

1008
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:27,640
Matthew 18 compliant you. 
Matthew 18 compliant. 

1009
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,120
I mean I have to say he is an 
out and out Christian Zionist. 

1010
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,880
That is very clear from many of 
his interviews and and 

1011
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,760
statements in the media. 
The fact is that the case was 

1012
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,520
not actually withdrawn. 
This was only one of the 

1013
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,320
lawsuits filed against Operation
Underground Railroad, which was 

1014
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,520
his original organization. 
He's actually being sacked 

1015
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,400
according to Operation 
Underground Rail Railroad. 

1016
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:57,600
That is now known as Our Rescue.
He claims that he left on the 

1017
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:02,760
basis of claims of sexual abuse 
and so on, but effectively it 

1018
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:07,200
was dismissed not because of the
merits of the case were lacking,

1019
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,200
but he said the case must be 
dismissed. 

1020
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:10,720
Sorry, could I just have that 
back on? 

1021
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,840
It was dismissed because of the 
way evidence against Ballard was

1022
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,280
obtained. 
Celeste Boris, one of the women 

1023
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,280
bringing the case against 
Ballard, accused him of grooming

1024
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,880
and sexually assaulting her when
they were supposed to be on 

1025
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,200
operations to save children from
human trafficking. 

1026
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,720
And for evidence, she downloaded
more than 90 documents from 

1027
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,480
Ballard's e-mail. 
Boris worked under Ballard as 

1028
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,400
his executive assistant, 
including after he was accused 

1029
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:42,120
of sexual misconduct and 
permanently separated from OUR. 

1030
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,600
As I said, I've only just 
started really in the last 24 

1031
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,680
hours to go down this this 
really rather sinister and 

1032
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,560
sordid Bunny hole. 
But the fact that this guy is 

1033
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:58,280
now in southern Syria, actively 
involved with the so-called 

1034
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:02,680
rescue of children, I find 
extremely disturbing. 

1035
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,080
Vanessa, thank you very much for
that report. 

1036
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,560
The key bit is that truth is 
coming up to the surface and 

1037
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,280
it's exposure which is the 
first, the first thing which has

1038
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,200
to happen in order to deal with 
these horrible things happening.

1039
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,720
So thank you for all your effort
in keeping tabs on what's 

1040
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,880
happening there. 
Now we're coming towards the end

1041
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,560
of today's UK column news. 
Diane, you're going to give us a

1042
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,120
little bit of a lighter light 
hearted look at fear, I think. 

1043
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,720
Yes, Brian, I think the only 
thing that we can do at this 

1044
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,800
point is laugh at the fear that 
they are putting in front of us,

1045
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,560
especially as it relates to the 
fact that it is now autumn and 

1046
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,120
getting colder and therefore we 
are all apparently going to fall

1047
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,400
dead of sore throats from what 
I've heard. 

1048
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,960
Does that make any sense? 
No. 

1049
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,280
No, okay, well let's look at it 
anyway. 

1050
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,280
So let's start at the BBC. 
They posted here on the 30th of 

1051
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,960
September that Covic cases are 
rising with new variants Nimbus 

1052
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:59,960
and Stratus. 
Now I kind of like the pun, 

1053
01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:01,600
right? 
Because Nimbus and Stratus are 

1054
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,440
both clouds. 
So we're rising to the clouds 

1055
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,960
with Nimbus and Stratus and you 
know, where they're absolutely 

1056
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,240
miserable to have a sore throat.
Look at that poor man. 

1057
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,120
Right. 
It's a little bit. 

1058
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,800
So we started with the BBC and, 
you know, if you have a sore 

1059
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,320
throat, you need to call your 
doctor. 

1060
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,240
You need to line up for whatever
medication they want to put into

1061
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,240
your Yeah, whatever that 
whatever is waiting. 

1062
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:25,800
So the UK Health Security Agency
posted on Facebook on the 9th of

1063
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:30,200
October that respiratory viruses
circulate all year, but during 

1064
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,760
winter several circulate at the 
same time. 

1065
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,360
So I guess only one circulates 
during the summer. 

1066
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,760
Is that what it means, Brian? 
Who knows because the advice 

1067
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,840
changes regularly and and it's 
so confusing and nonsensical. 

1068
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,160
It certainly does, but the the 
sad emoji on the the fingers 

1069
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,600
pointing downward give the UKHSA
quite a bit of credibility, I 

1070
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,960
think. 
Especially the woman who 

1071
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,640
apparently is coughing through 
her hand, which they told us in 

1072
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,920
2020 wasn't safe, right? 
Weird. 

1073
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,960
So, so she's, she's spreading 
viruses, coughing into her hand 

1074
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,240
there. 
Should be put in prison. 

1075
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,840
Absolutely, absolutely lock her 
up. 

1076
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,720
So up from where I am in the 
northeast normally, except this 

1077
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,240
week when I'm in Plymouth. 
This is from County Durham, live

1078
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,840
with one of the mainstream 
papers where I live where I'm 

1079
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,880
not sure what the mask is doing 
to help anybody because the hat,

1080
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,320
the mask had to be moved down to
stick the swab up the lady's 

1081
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,280
nose. 
So I'm not sure why she's masked

1082
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,240
up. 
It doesn't really do any good if

1083
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,640
it's not, you know, obviously 
over the nose not helping 

1084
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,200
anything. 
But we have a new vaccine 

1085
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,040
warning because the so-called 
code cases are rising across the

1086
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:35,880
Northeast. 
So make sure you're lining up if

1087
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,760
you haven't done so already. 
Are you, have you lined up, 

1088
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,200
Brian? 
No, I haven't. 

1089
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,040
Good. 
Thank you. 7 live so locally 

1090
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,680
here where we are in Devon. 
I've gone from my house to 

1091
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,640
yours. 
Medical experts have explained 

1092
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,920
when, why IOU. 
So we've got a typo there that I

1093
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,960
think maybe the vaccine got to 
their spelling abilities need to

1094
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,160
test and when you need to see 
AGP. 

1095
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,520
So exactly how to tell if you 
have a cold or the new COVID 

1096
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,640
strain. 
So are you, do you have a 

1097
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,920
Stratus or a Nimbus COVID or 
what do you have? 

1098
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,600
Well of course it's nonsense 
because nobody can get to see 

1099
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:14,240
AGP anyway, so the advice is 
completely, completely rubbish 

1100
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:18,160
because you cannot see AGP. 
That's a very good point and and

1101
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,640
so Yorkshire live so sort of 
just South of me a new COVID 

1102
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:25,040
strain or flu. 
How to tell different symptoms 

1103
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,880
apart this winter. 
I'm not sure what that is that a

1104
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,440
is that an insect? 
That little green looking is 

1105
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:32,800
that? 
A cucumber possibly? 

1106
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,280
Cucumber. 
Yeah, maybe half a virus, yeah. 

1107
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,840
Something healthy, maybe. 
I don't know. 

1108
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,920
Anyways, emoji needed a tissue, 
so there we go. 

1109
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,480
According to this particular 
source, the new study finds 

1110
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,440
COVID-19 infection can alter 
sperm and affect brain 

1111
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,160
development in future. 
Children can't be the vaccine. 

1112
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:54,760
It's got to be the COVID 
infection. 

1113
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,400
That cold is going to affect the
sperm of these these men who 

1114
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,960
want to conceive. 
Children can't be the vaccine, 

1115
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,280
can it Brian? 
Well, and and the phrase future 

1116
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,360
children to me is very creepy. 
So that's a special in that 

1117
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:07,960
version. 
Of future children that might be

1118
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,240
that dystopian surrogacy that 
Sarah Newland has been writing 

1119
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,320
about for us. 
The Express says Brits urged to 

1120
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,040
do so, isolate. 
So again, there's those spelling

1121
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,040
and grammatical issues occurring
in people in the mainstream 

1122
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:26,520
occurred to do isolate. 
Now if infected with new COVID 

1123
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,680
strain as cases sore. 
Now my biggest question I put 

1124
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,520
this one on my own Facebook 
page, Brian, is why is it that 

1125
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,000
the woman is messed up all alone
in her house, which is she going

1126
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,280
to give? 
Does she have a dog that might 

1127
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:38,280
get the virus? 
Like what? 

1128
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:43,840
I don't know, I don't know. 
And so the Daily Mail said to us

1129
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:48,600
on 13th of October, quote like a
biological bomb, scary emoji, 

1130
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:53,240
haunting prediction of where 
next pandemic will strike and 

1131
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,960
how it could kill over 7 
million. 

1132
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,040
So we don't know what this is, 
but it could be at any that 

1133
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,200
scary virus is out there could 
get us any moment. 

1134
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:02,960
We don't know where, but it's 
out there. 

1135
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,880
We're putting a bit of black 
humour into this, but of course 

1136
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,160
many people out there are 
sucking up this information and 

1137
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,640
it's making them very fearful of
the future. 

1138
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,600
It's So I'll just clarify that 
what we're doing today by 

1139
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,960
mocking this stuff is 1 to boost
morale, but also to get people 

1140
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:24,720
out there spreading the word 
about what disgraceful political

1141
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,360
applied psychology this is. 
Yeah, no, it, it is. 

1142
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,720
We have to laugh at it because 
it's about the only way that we 

1143
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,360
can fight it, I believe. 
But we also have to say, well, 

1144
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,320
this is what what is out there 
on these Facebook posts. 

1145
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:38,080
And I found these all on my 
Facebook feed. 

1146
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,800
So even though we might think 
that, you know, they're not 

1147
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,240
worth listening to, clearly 
people are because they're 

1148
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:47,000
continuously pushing out this 
content for people to get afraid

1149
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,640
about the fact that their throat
hurts. 

1150
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:53,360
So just one last thing I have 
here and, and this is obviously 

1151
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,880
not true. 
Breaking news is AstraZeneca is 

1152
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,280
now available in powder form to 
get encourage more people to get

1153
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:05,080
vaccinated. 
And this I'm on my third bag 

1154
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,240
today, said one woman. 
So she's doing lines. 

1155
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,040
I personally, if it were powder,
I'd probably mix it in with my 

1156
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,360
coffee or tea instead of, you 
know, I don't like putting 

1157
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,319
anything in my nose. 
So but she has chosen to just do

1158
01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:19,760
some lines. 
OK, we'll, we'll leave it there.

1159
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,279
We'll leave, leave it there, 
Diane. 

1160
01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:25,040
But if people can smile, they 
are doing a great job in 

1161
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,439
boosting their physical and 
mental well-being to deal with 

1162
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,399
this stuff. 
Now we must end because we've 

1163
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:35,920
run over slightly for today's UK
column news, but my last comment

1164
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:40,080
is very +1 is that yesterday I 
was able to be with Kate 

1165
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:45,319
Markland who was telling me how 
a single FaceTime call once a 

1166
01:08:45,319 --> 01:08:48,920
week with her son who's been 
taken away from her by social 

1167
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,479
services. 
That single call once a week for

1168
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,000
nine months allowed them to 
develop a book. 

1169
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:59,200
We just popped the image up on 
screen initially 6 short 

1170
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:06,479
stories, now A25858 page book. 
So good has this exercise been 

1171
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:11,160
that Kate has been invited into 
9 schools and has helped over 

1172
01:09:11,359 --> 01:09:16,399
460 children in various schools 
to also learn how to write 

1173
01:09:16,399 --> 01:09:19,399
stories for themselves. 
So there's a very positive note 

1174
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,960
for a mum who suffered the 
horrors of having a child taken 

1175
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,120
away from her by using that 
telephone call. 

1176
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,960
She's done in tremendous good 
not only for her son Gabriel, 

1177
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,000
but also for herself and other 
mothers. 

1178
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,359
We must end there. 
We've got UK column Extra coming

1179
01:09:36,359 --> 01:09:39,279
up for our members. 
We've got a lot to discuss. 

1180
01:09:39,319 --> 01:09:43,439
We'll also have guests Kimberly 
Isherwood who will be telling us

1181
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:47,600
more about her activism and I 
will be surrounded by gutsy 

1182
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,680
women. 
That's it for today. 

1183
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:54,880
We'll be back for UK column news
on losing track of my days. 

1184
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,560
Where are we? 
We will have AUK column going 

1185
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,080
out at the end of the week, but 
of course, the major event for 

1186
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,840
us is the Saturday on location. 
Let's leave it there. 

1187
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,680
Thank you for joining us. 
Bye bye. 

1188
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:05,880
Bye.
