Good afternoon, today is Monday the 5th of May, just after 1:00.
Welcome to UK column news. I'm your host Brian Garish.
Delighted to have with me in studio Diane Rasmussen Mckaddy.
Hello, Diane. Hi, Brian.
And Ben Rubin will be joining us from Studio 2.
So a little bit of a change around today, but welcome to UK
column News. And of course, today is the bank
holiday. So thank you very much for
joining us today. Well, we've got a lot to report,
but we're going to start off with recognising the good work
of the Reform Party. So let's just have a look at
reforms website. And of course, this is the key
thing. Become a member, join EU KS
fastest growing political movement.
And we just ask a question because is Farage pictured here
with arms raised? Is he going to be the saviour?
Well, first of all, I want to say thank you very much to all
the people that got out, who worked and of course, to take
some 677 seats that that was a very good effort by the Report
Reform Party. So credit where it's due, we
have some questions to ask and some of those questions may
possibly ruffle some feathers, but we think this absolutely has
to be done if the real issues taking place in UK are going to
be dealt with. So let's just let's just have a
look at what's been reported in the press.
So the Telegraph here, Tory council swept away by reform
surge. So a pretty powerful headline
there. I'm going to say to the
audience, does this represent opportunities?
Does it represent threats? And I think there's a little bit
of both which we'll get into, but he was a bit from the times.
John Curtis reforms by election win outstrips anything UKIP
achieved. And I want to put a little
caveat on that because John Curtis talks about Farage being
a political disruptor. And of course he's talking in
terms of Farage's activity amongst the bigger established
parties, the Conservatives and Labour.
But we also need to remember that Farage has disrupted his
own party in the past and he also abandoned it, what many
UKIP people at the time thought was a critical point.
So I'm going to remind the audience that I had an interview
with Joe WA little while ago. He'd resigned from Reform UK and
in the dialogue we had a very interesting chat about it, My
experiences in UKIP going back quite a few years and his
experiences coming up to 2025 in Reform UK.
You can find that interview on the UK Column website.
Nigel Farage and the destructive Toryisation of Reform UK.
But the key part of the discussion was this.
We saw similarities between what happened with Farage in UKIP and
what was happening in Reform in 2000 and 2025.
So we've got rousing speeches, we've got authoritarian control
where Farage is protected by a circle of appointees.
We've got suppression of successful initiatives by party
activists and the end result is a party lead into a cul-de-sac
and ultimately a failure to achieve the political success
it's members are desperate to achieve.
Now I'm going to stress very strongly here that I recognise
the immense good work of the reform soldiers who got out, did
the work, did the canvassing to get elected.
They deserve the recognition for the really outstanding results
they've achieved. I'm gently putting out a little
bit of a warning that we saw exactly that situation with UKIP
many years ago. And then what happened was that
the leadership of the party failed to follow up on the
success of the people who'd walked the streets and convinced
voters to vote for them. So just think about that and
I'll be coming back onto this subject in just a moment.
But the other thing that we've got happening in UK at the
moment is, is a mixture of history and propaganda.
And I picked up here from the Ministry of Defence Twitter,
their ex site. It says the Cenotaph stands
draped in flags, just as it did on VE Day 1945.
Today we pay tribute to the Greatest Generation whose
courage secured the freedom and prosperity our armed forces
protect today. Well, if we add a bit, there was
another tweet and it can't calmly announce that Armed
Forces of Ukraine would be joining this V Day parade.
Now a number of the UK column audience contacted me because
they were the individuals were actually very, very upset about
this because of course, if we know our history, the
overwhelming effort of Ukraine was to support the Nazis and yet
here they are to join our parade as if, as if none of these
things had taken place. But if the Ukrainians are one
issue, then what happened was the Ministry of Defence went on
to promote this lady. And no disrespect to her, Henny
Franks, a Jewish refugee, she escaped from the Nazis, came to
UK, worked as an army lorry driver, but she's given
recognition. Ukrainians are given
recognition. It's almost as if the indigenous
people of UK wiped off the Ministry of Defence map.
Now why should this be happening?
This is where we need to get deeper into politics than I've
seen Nigel Farage go in many years.
And let's focus on the change agent that is Keir Starmer.
And my suggestion to the audience today is that he is at
his work destroying UK from inside.
He claims to be securing Britain's future.
But let's have a look at what's been happening.
Well, of course the first thing is this extraordinary 100 year
pact with Ukraine, not voted on in Parliament, simply announced,
certainly to the public as a fait accompli.
We have no idea what the background is of the Ukrainian
politicians who've been drawn into this.
Are they extreme right wing? We have no way of knowing.
And alongside this, of course, we've got admittedly started by
the Conservatives, but we've got a memorandum of understanding
drawing the UK and Israel closer together.
And this is not only for Trade and Industry, of course, it's
for intelligence services and the military.
Again, the UK public simply not consulted in what was taking
place. And now we see the final
betrayal from Keir Starmer in particular because as UK column
has warned over many years, Brexit would be done without the
exit. We would never fully leave the
European Union and we say today we told you so as now we get the
mainstream media reports that Starmer is betraying UK by his
backdoor deals with the with the EU and that also includes this
military grouping up. But of course we shouldn't be
surprised because Kier Starmer commonly announced to the BBC
that between Westminster and Davos, he would choose Davos
every time. And let's bring in over here the
fact that Starmer has said that he's Prime Minister to achieve
change in the UK. And our challenge to Nigel
Farage is when will you start talking about the real danger of
Kier Starmer's subversive change to UK?
So let's just bring this down. Will Reform actually grip these
real issues? We will wait to see, but of
course the Labour Party itself has stressed that it's there to
change the UK. It doesn't want to tell us how,
but it's constantly saying change and more change and
constant change is revolution. We're going to ask again, will
reform grip these issues and talk about them in the frank way
that UK column is doing so? And also we want to know whether
reform is going to grip the issue of people who are
connected with the Fabians. And of course, Tony Blair as a
Fabian master, that's my term. And and Keir Starmer as the mere
student are areas that of course we have many questions as to
what is the power of this Fabian organization and what are the
changes that it wants for UK. Well, we can see as we look at
the headlines today that immigration and migration
absolutely to the fore. But as UK column has warned and
warned this immigration is not the tiny numbers coming in in
rubber boats. It is the 1000, some 600,000
Ukrainians last year alone who are invited into the country by
the government. They don't fight their way
ashore. So these are people being
invited into the country by our political masters and the
propaganda around relatively tiny numbers coming in in the
boats is simply the sideshow. So our challenge to Nigel Farage
is, again, will Reform really grip these issues of migration
and what the true figures are and which political individuals
are driving it? Now, if we have a look at the
headlines of the paper, I've just decided to choose a couple
here, we're going to say what will Reform do in the media
propaganda pond? So if you have a look at the
Times, it's almost difficult to see there report on reform.
But of course Times is attacking the Reform party fight off
reform with higher taxes and spending.
The Prime Minister is told. We've then got a big headline,
EU blocks efforts to curb the flow of migrants.
Now remember, they're talking about rubber boats.
They're not talking about the true statistics on massive
migration of people invited into the country.
And if I just bring the Telegraph up here, of course
we've got a mixture of fear, imminent suspected Iran terror
raid foiled. Of course we have absolutely no
evidence to support that headline.
But this is put in juxtaposition with the Beckhams.
What relevance they have to UK, I've absolutely no idea.
And then if you look at the very bottom of that article on the
right, it says that Facebook is putting children's lives in
danger, says security chiefs. And again, we're going to ask
the key question, will reform grip these issues and talk about
them properly? On that note Ben, I think we'll
bring you in and of course you've been warning for some
considerable time about the powers of these non government
organisations that are clearly grooming and training our
politicians to what we can only describe as the rules based
international system. What have you got for us today?
Thanks Brian. Thanks Diane.
Hello everybody. Like Plymouth Argyle losing to
Leeds, I have been relegated today to Studio 2 by an
ascendant Northern champion in the shape of Diane Rasmussen
McCabe. So congratulations and for
taking the stop top spot in the studio today.
I should also just say that's the last time I will ever do a
football reference, by the way. So just putting it out there.
And I'll also just like to say that was a fascinating opening
segment, Brian. And I think what's particularly
interesting is that we now no longer have a conservative party
in this country. And reform is really just
another way of saying change, isn't it?
Anyway, moving on, let's kick off with my favorite quote from
Orwell. Power is in tearing human minds
to pieces and putting them together again in shapes of your
own choosing. We're going to talk about
nudging and actually what happens beyond nudging.
And I'll introduce you to this organization, which is the
Behavioural Public Policy, a journal.
This is an online journal, an academic journal hosted by
Cambridge University. And it is edited by, amongst
others, this gentleman that is Professor Cass R Sunstein from
Harvard, who essentially invented nudging, the
behavioural and insights techniques that are used on an
increasing basis to coerce unsuspecting civilian
populations into doing things that they wouldn't normally do.
It's how the stuff has been deployed across the whole
system. And actually we, as I said in
the intro, we're going beyond nudging now, right?
So the BPP issued this report on the 15th of April and a bunch of
people who you really don't want to have these kinds of tools in
their position are getting extremely excited now about the
idea that we're moving from nudging to boosting.
So empowering behaviour change to address global challenges.
This is the shiny new toy that these people have got their
hands on this dig into what that actually means.
Let's have a little look at the report.
This is from the abstract in the intro.
You should go read this. It's only about 10 pages.
It's worthwhile understanding what's going on here.
I'll just summarise some stuff. But essentially, the COVID-19
pandemic provided a stark reminder that societies will
struggle to address global challenges unless they are able
to change behaviour at scale. Yeah, societies need to change
behaviour at scale. The widely adopted nudge
approach epitomizes an individualistic deficit model of
human cognition and motivation that leverages or overcomes
people's weaknesses and biases to get them to do things they
would otherwise not. And this is about nudging people
into new types of behaviours. And what the, the team behind
this is saying is that by contrast, we argue that tackling
the challenges facing humanity requires A collective capacity
building approach, one that boosts the competencies,
opportunities and motivations of individuals to act together,
right? We're going beyond nudging and
we're going to reshape humanity ultimately towards collective
action in order to address what they describe as global
challenges, right? And very importantly, they're
really reinforcing at the outset that the COVID-19 pandemic was
one of those global challenges and a good example of how nudge
was used in a responsible way. And that's not really surprising
when you look at who wrote the report because two of the
people, two of the four authors are here.
This is Robert West from UCL, Susan Minche now from UCL, both
from the behaviour change, the Centre for Behaviour change at
UCL, names that will be familiar to UK column viewers.
Because both of these individuals, Susan Minche in
particular, was intimately involved in advising the UK
government through the COVID scenario as members of Sage and
Spy B and ramping up the terror in the population in order to
coerce people into doing things that they wouldn't normally do
right. And actually, some might call
that terrorism. And if we allow the official
narrative to lapse and it turns out that that was actually a
terror campaign, then those two individuals in particular might
be in quite a bit trouble. So obviously we have to maintain
the COVID narrative. Let's go back to the report.
The deficit model that's nudging, exemplified by nudging
urgently needs to be replaced. An approach that can achieve the
global behaviour changes needed to cope with the multiple crises
that humanity is currently facing.
The things we all do, Dr. pandemics, for example, travel
or meet rich diets and therefore the next potentially more lethal
pandemic could be emerging as we write this.
I think there might be some nudging laid into that.
That's a very immediate and slightly terrifying term for
them to be using that a pandemic could be emerging as we write
this. The climate emergencies already
claiming countless lives apparently.
I don't think that's demonstrably true in any sense
whatsoever. And it's certainly damaging
economies, but not for the reasons that these people are
putting forth. They conclude by saying what is
needed are wholesale sustained in evidence based efforts to
capitalise on and develop collective human agency.
Yeah, this is about reframing and re engineering humanity,
populations of countries getting stuck into the education system,
going after young children, right, You know, remodelling the
family. Actually, if we look at some of
the global challenges that they describe and the interventions
that they want to make, there's there's two initial interesting
ones here. So how do we, how do we help
people to reclaim their self-control in online
environments? And that apparently requires the
introduction of something called a citizen choice architect.
And so these are the types of roles, the types of work that's
happening inside government, inside big corporations in order
to influence behaviour to get you to comply more effectively
as citizen choice architect. And then the the next global
challenge, how to combat overweight and obesity is
probably a typo, especially in children and as adolescents.
And that's about increasing parental competence to design
the family meal environment. Yeah, so that's just cooking
good food for your kids. Apparently Cambridge University
and the government need to be down in the weeds advising you
on that kind of thing. And then I'll save the best for
last. And this one, it actually really
took my breath away, although I suppose it's not that
unsurprising when when you understand where it's come from.
I'll read this whole thing out. The global challenge, how to
empower citizens to cope with the infodemic, the tsunami of
misinformation online and social media and on instant messaging
services. So the competence here is to
reliably assess the trustworthiness of online
information sources and the Boost intervention that they're
suggesting. Look at this right, training
people to use the methods of professional fact checkers, IE
using a search engine to see what others say about the source
of the content, what they call lateral reading, rather than
critically thinking through the content itself, which is called
vertical reading. That's been shown to be
effective in assessing the credibility of websites.
School based interventions with instructional strategies like
teaching, modelling and guided practice can be used to teach
lateral lateral reading. Pop up graphics can be used to
prompt social media users to read laterally.
Cambridge University Cass Sunstein, the author of this of
this report, are saying that citizens should be trained to
not critically think through content that they find online
and that they should be searching for official
sanctioned narrative, reinforcing titles, whether
that's from the government, from elsewhere in the media, in order
to correct them and keep them on course.
Right. They are being completely
explicit about what they're doing and what their plans are
and what we've seen over the past few years.
Based on this report and the change of language from just a
nudge to a boost, I think we're going to see this stuff really
ramp up over the coming months. Ben, thank you very much for
that and I totally agree, this is going to accelerate very
quickly as they get more desperate.
Something I just like to emphasise with people is the
language that they're using. We need to understand it.
We need to spend time reading in detail what these individuals
are saying because at the end of the day, they are unfolding
their policy on the back of this language.
If you understand the language, you understand not only the
policies that they are enacting, but you can also then understand
how to dismantle these policies. So I'd say to our audience,
please don't dismiss the language of these individuals as
nonsense. It's, it is nonsense in one way,
but we have to look at it. They are using this in order to
create the policies. How are we going to deal with
this attack on our minds? Well, Diane, you've been away
with some other people, and that's always a good start.
Yeah. Thanks, Brian.
Hello, Ben. It's really great to be in the
studio today. I I'm actually down here because
over the weekend I attended and spoke at a conference that we
talked about last Monday on the news chaired by Kathy Mudge of
Protect and Teach. And was I've done an interview
with her previously and she's been on the news last week
talking about the conference. So on Saturday I went to their
annual conference and had a wonderful time.
I just have a few photos I'd like to show you here from the
things I took, random things I took at the conference set
showing kind of the, the, the spirit of the people that were
here. Here's a somebody's tote bag
saying help. She's thinking thoughts.
I don't like arrest her. And these were some stones that
were passed out that a lady is making for free.
She was encouraged us to take as many as possible and and leave
them around in places. One says trans ideology is a
belief. It is not fact.
No hate, just truth and stop quote gender affirming butchery.
Here's some coasters that were made that were handed out woman
a female of any age 2025 hashtag gear of the woman.
This is of course because of the Supreme Court ruling and of
course, as we know a woman is an adult human female.
Somebody's T-shirt said safeguarding safeguarding is our
duty. Biology, not ideology.
And I also picked up a copy of the women's quiz book.
This is written by a woman in the 1990s called Jennifer
Gorley, who is a member of the Protect and Teach group.
And what we're going to do is back, if you are a member of
Wallace on extra, we will talk about this book some more, an
extra. We might even have a quiz,
Brian. OK.
All right. Sounds good.
So some of the content that was covered in the conference, this
is an important report from Protect and Teach called
Safeguarding of Children in School and College.
You can download this from their website.
It's a very important report that shows a lot of the research
that they have done in terms of contacting the Church of England
and other people who are in charge of what's happening in
the schools and the colleges and trying to call them out for it
and trying to make people realize the biological reality
of having only two sexes. This is Professor Gloria Moss,
some of you will recognize her name.
She wrote the article that came out recently on UK column about
the Fabians and the Fabians founder founding of the Labour
Party. I get some very important
reports. So she was one of the invited
speakers and I was the other invited speaker.
She talked about the the relationship between
transgenderism and transhumanism and again brought in some of her
work on the Fabians. She did a wonderful speech as
well about all of the academic research that she's done in the
past that shows the reality of the differences between men and
women and their preferences for design.
These are the two wonderful ladies that kind of head up the
group. But Kathy Mudge, you'll know
what, we saw her last week on the news and that's the other
member of the committee over there on the right.
And they kind of gave an overall introduction to the conference.
One of the things that has been covered in Katie's interview
that I did with her a few weeks ago is the Church of England
guidance called floor. It's called I'm sorry.
It's about sorry flourishing for all anti bullying guidance for
Church of England schools. And one of the things that we
showed this interview was an appendix from that document that
showed a glossary of terms showing that the Church of
England has in fact adopted gender ideology with terms like
gender dysphoria, identity disorder, gender recognition
certificate M2F, which is male or female hacking, which is
making people look like they are something that they are not
underneath for clothing, transgender transitioning,
binding, which is what girls do when they don't want to develop
their their breasts and so on. So one of the things after this
came out that the trip the Church of England was contacted
by Protected Teach and they had been contacted previously and
they said please, because of the Supreme Court judgement.
What we would like to request is that you adapt this document to
show that there is only two sexes and that one sex cannot be
participating in things that are meant for the other sex.
And so we were, they were quite successful in a way.
It wasn't entirely amended, but they did amend this Flourishing
for All documentation to show that in fact, what we are now
doing is showing that there is only two sexes and there's some
more work to do in it, but that was one thing.
So now the document has been amended as of April 2025.
Something else that Kathy presented was some, I guess we
could say some, some presentations that have been
developed by a group called Jigsaw.
And Jigsaw isn't 1 of the organizations that now provides
curriculum to students in in England schools.
This was leaked on the Internet by a concerned adult that had
been attained otherwise. So basically these are not
normally shared with parents, but we did get access to some of
these. And I'm just going to show a few
examples of what the the children are shown in schools
when they're doing this PSHE education, which is the
personnel, a personal sexual health education.
So just to show a couple of slides from this.
And these are things that are read out directly to the
students that are given to the teachers.
The teachers have no choice in what's shared in this
curriculum. So this one says when we are
born, we have a particular set of private body parts, genitals,
reproductive organs and needs mean we are said to be male or
female. This is the biological sex that
is recorded on our birth certificate.
Most people are born with either a male body or a female body.
This is known as your biological sex.
We usually call someone born with male genitals, which
include a penis and testicles, a boy and someone born with female
genitals, which includes A vulva, vagina and womb a girl.
The way a person feels about themselves, which of course is
obviously different, and whether they feel like they are male, a
boy or female, a girl, is known as their gender identity.
And this is one of the things that is shown as part of this
particular lesson. And what I would like to do is
leave this on screen and read the notes that are given to the
teachers that they are provided when they have to give this
lesson to the children. And this is exactly what the
teachers are told to do. Demonstrate how to draw a Venn
diagram which is what is shown there where we have boys and
girls as separate and then both in the middle which is a mix
potentially of boys and girls with one circle labeled boys, 1
circle labeled girls, and both in the middle, and ask children
to quickly do their own on whiteboards.
Ask children to sort the statements into categories by
writing the numbers in the correct area of the Venn diagram
in pairs if appropriate. Remind the children how to
complete a Venn diagram, including how some things can be
outside all the circles. I don't know how that works.
Before children are invited to share the categorization, ask
them if this was an easy or difficult exercise and why do
they think they have been asked to do this.
And then a note to the teacher. You will be able to see how
aware of gender stereotyping they are by their responses.
Hopefully children will not have ingrained gender stereotypes and
if they don't, please feel you can move swiftly through this
part of the lesson. So we're trying to break apart
what boys do and what girls do and and breakdown those
stereotypes. However, if you see some
stereotypical ideas coming through, it is worth spending
time unpacking these with the children.
Do not leave stereotypical responses unchallenged.
Handle the discussion carefully to draw out the concept of
stereotypes. So Brian, here what we're seeing
is the breakdown of of of understanding what it is to be a
boy and what it is to be a girl. Not to say that stereotypes are
always the case, but I don't think that they want the
children to leave the lesson at all whatsoever with any concept
of what it what a boy is or what a girl is.
I don't know what you think about that.
I think it's absolutely correct. And what we're seeing is the
power of these outside agencies and and the companies and we're
now in the situation where a school teacher is not allowed to
think for themselves in preparing their own Lesson plan.
So couple that with the government that wants to use
accelerated nudging to reframe the way adults think, we can be
sure that they are desperate to get their hands on the minds of
little children so that those children can be reframed before
they become adults. Very, very sinister stuff.
Diane, we will continue to keep reporting.
And I'm going to say huge thank you to all the people who who
set up that conference and of course of who are taking the
trouble to confront some of these organisations head on.
This is what proper activism is about and this is what we need
if we're going to pull the foundation out from this
dangerous government grooming of our children.
Well, if you like what the UK column is doing, then please do
support us. We need your financial support
and of course there's many ways you can do that.
You can make a donation to us. You can take out a monthly,
annual or lifetime membership. You can also buy something
through the shop. And we always like to highlight
that we do have Clive de Carle's health products and we make a
small percentage on those if you would like to order through UK
column. Now the material we put out is
to be shared. And although we are shadow
banned on some of the platforms and completely banned on others
from time to time, YouTube information is there for people
to circulate. Please do give the UK column
recognition if you are using information that's come from us.
This helps us grow and expand. Now, Diane, you've been
commenting on articles going up on UK column website.
There's a lot of really good material.
What have we got here? Yeah.
So this is just a couple of articles that have been
published in the past week. So every week when I'm every
Monday, I'll be reviewing kind of what we've published in the
past week. So here are two brand new ones
to take a look at. This first one is from Vanessa
Beeley, the UK private security boom in Syria under al Qaeda
regime, Part 1. So this will be a multiple part
series. She reported some of this
material in her spot on the news last Wednesday.
And the other new one is by Matthew Eret, The Enduring
Problem of the Jesuits, which is actually a very timely article
because the Pope who just passed away was a Jesuit.
So it's really a a very interesting historical and deep
look into what the Jesuits are about and what they've been
doing. OK, thank you very much for
that. Now, Ben, you've been out
travelling and Saturday Just Gone was an event in the
Stonford Community Centre in Sidmouth that was a talk on
natural law. Remedy or Ruin?
It's Our Choice by William Katie, How did you find it?
It was fantastic. I had a wonderful, wonderful
couple of days over in Sidmouth. Will was excellent, he talks
about the British constitution, trial by jury, mechanisms for
self governance. See the question about there.
Can we be our own government? I think we can, but we've got to
take responsibility for our own actions.
This is what we should ultimately be aiming for.
It was a real powerhouse performance, 3 hours of material
expertly delivered and there's a great crowd there.
It's really good to meet some UK column viewers.
Had some lovely warm comments and feedback and someone told me
that I felt like a family member to them, which was just really
lovely actually and it was a great venue.
Cinemas is just something else. I've never been down there
before. Been to just one of the most
beautiful places and we even got a little 1 display from the
lifeguard out on manoeuvres that weren't actually rescuing
anybody, but I think they were just letting everyone know that
they were there and yeah, great, a great weekend in Devon.
OK, Ben, I'm I'm really glad that you enjoyed it and a huge
thank you again for those people that took the effort to put on
an event to start talking not only about what's wrong, but
what can be done. This is what proper activism is
about. And a huge thank you to all that
team. Well done to yourself for going.
Should I just say that the RNLI were doing that exercise there
that wasn't actually a migrant rubber boat?
Before anybody gets too excited now, the other thing we have to
tell you is that tonight at 7:00 PM, Germ Warfare will be
speaking on why machines will never rule the world.
We're very grateful to have Germ with us on the UK column and
he's going to be putting out some really interesting
material. So do look out for this at 7:00
tonight. We've also got interesting
interview coming up with Malcolm Hills under the title and
Englishmen abroad. Now Malcolm's been living in
Russia. And this is an excellent
opportunity for UK column viewers to understand a little
bit about the realities of what it's like to live in other
countries, particularly those countries that are constantly in
the bad books of the United Kingdom.
So do join us for that at 1:00 tomorrow.
Now I'm just going to move on through 1 slide.
So let's go on through that. A reminder that Friday the 18th,
the 19th of July, we've got the Thetford Truth and Freedom Beer
Festival at the Angel Inn, Swallow Lane Larling NR. 16 two
qu. That's not 18th and 19th of
July. And again, this is another
event, very relaxed, where socializing with people and
learning and talking about what's happening in the country
go together. I think this is a very powerful
way of doing things. People need the enjoyment of
coming together and they need everything possible to get rid
of that horrible stress and fear which the government is piling
upon us with their behavioural insights and accelerated
nudging. Now we've also got the Sounds
Beautiful festival coming up. That's June the 26th, the 29th
in Wimborne, Dorset, and that is going to be a very good event
with speakers and music and camping and a lot more.
So if you can get there, please get involved.
And also like to say that there's a couple of free tickets
available if you go onto the UK column, Facebook, you can enter,
plus we'll put up a link on our show notes about this.
So a lot happening. And I think this is really
encouraging people and not just active in the political sense.
And well done to everybody in all the parties, not only the
reform candidates that got out at local level, but all the
other small party people who were taking on the big parties
by being active on the streets. We also want to thank people who
are putting on alternative conferences and doing things in
their own way at local level. This is very, very powerful.
So Diane, probably that brings us back to you.
What's been happening around libraries?
Well, Brian, that was the question that Protect and Teach
had for me. I've been working with them for
a few months now on looking at the books that are being
provided in libraries to children.
And so they, the reason they invited me to this conference
over the weekend was did you talk about what's going on in
libraries and how these things are getting into the hands of
children? And what I want to say in
advance is that basically the overall impression that I want
to give to the viewers, and I hope you get this from what I
show you, is that it's an entire system that revolves around the
libraries. And it's not individual
librarians in particular that are trying to put this in front
of children. It's an entire system.
And, and essentially, I don't believe that the librarians are
really given much of A choice. And I'm going to demonstrate
that through some very direct evidence that I know how to
access after over 20 years in the profession.
So I just want to show here, Emily Drabinsky was the
president of the American Library Association from 2023 to
2024. And the reason I'm going to talk
talking about the American Library Association is not only
because I was trained under American Library Association
credentials, but because there was a reciprocal relationship
directly between the Ala and SILLIP, which is the UKF
Chartered Institute for Library and Information Professionals.
And the reason that this is important is, for example, if
you're trained in an in Ala program, you can come to the UK
and work under a program that would otherwise be accredited by
STILLUP and vice versa. So there are direct
associations. And of course, the Ala is much
larger just due to the population of America.
And so a lot of what happens in Stillup happens firstly with Ala
and that includes the funding, that includes the agenda and
that includes what gets pushed through the professional body.
So Emily being president from 2023 to 2024, when when this
first came out, she tweeted that she couldn't believe that a
so-called Marxist lesbian, as she calls herself, could be
elected to be the president of the Ala.
And she went on to say that she was definitely going to put her
own politics into what happens in the American Library
Association, therefore in the libraries, which is really not
worth what we are really supposed to be doing all at all
ethically. So let's hear what Emily had to
say to these. This conference in Chicago a
couple of years ago that was literally a conference from
Marxist. And she went to go talk to them.
And what did she say to them? Hi, I'm Emily, and I'm a
librarian. I just want to say thank you.
I just want to say thank you for bringing up libraries.
In libraries, but also to the libraries of all kinds of public
libraries and higher education libraries who've been under
attack in similar ways. But I think your point that
public education needs to be a site of socialist organizing.
I think libraries really do too. And that happened.
I haven't seen that for the working in libraries.
But I think there's real. Opportunities here to both
connect. With happening in public
education, what's happening in libraries about this?
We need some help in the in the library needs to be on the
agenda the specialist 4 magazines.
So I just want to say that so thank you for your work.
Stick your neck out and then find out about a.
Difficult time. It's an inspiration to me.
Can I just, can I just say, and I reacted during that video when
when she said we need to, you know, we need to focus on the
agenda of socialist organising. So there's that Lady declaring
that she's going to use her extreme political beliefs to get
at the children by activists, activism through the libraries.
Quite incredible. Yes, and unfortunately it gets
worse, Brian, and I'm going to show you why here.
So this is John Pateman. John Pateman has written a
series of books. He's worked in public libraries
for over 40 years and his books have been, there's basically a
three-part series, I think of books about public libraries
that are published by Facet Publishing, which is the
publisher of Scillip. And I'm just going to read some
direct quotes from these books because I can't say this any
better than to come from them directly.
Only the leader possesses the correct ideology and can
disseminate this ideology. This then is the main role of
the leader to articulate, spread and inculcate ideology.
Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and King John UN3, exemplary leaders
of the North Korean working class.
It is no coincidence that the Juche Tower in Pyongyang is
directly opposite the Grand People's Study House, the
National Library in Revolution Square.
Both represent the guiding ideology of the Korean people.
Public libraries are instruments of political indoctrination.
They imbue the masses with the Juche idea and maintain
ideological unity in the country and later elsewhere in the book,
he said. I was honored to share a
platform with Comrade Fidel Castro at the Third Cuban
Cultural Congress held at the Karl Marx Theatre in Havana.
And he is the winner of the Cuban Cultural Medal for Library
Service. And he is one of the leaders in
public libraries both in the US and the UK and is widely
published by Sillup and Ala and other leading library
publishers. Beth Montague Helen is a a
British librarian. She wrote a book that was
published by FASA Publishing slash still up in 2024 called
Practical Tips for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and
Libraries. And she said as social justice
minded librarians, we should accept that neutrality is not
possible. I was taught that we're supposed
to be neutral as librarians and just provide people with what
they want. Right wing calls for censorship
frequently asked that LGBTQ plus materials are removed from
libraries, often in the name of protecting the children and
teenagers who would most benefit from reading these books.
Left wing calls for censorship often ask that material that is
racist, sexist, homophobic, or anti trans be removed.
Many reading this book may agree with this stance, meaning
librarians who are supposed to be brainwashed already finding
this sort of content extremely distasteful and worrying about
the effects the books may have on vulnerable members of our
communities. And she goes on to say Drake
Queens are flamboyant performers and have frequently been
integral to family entertainment, particularly in
the UK where pantomime games are popular.
Alongside the benefit of welcoming the LGBTQ plus
community into the library, a Drake Queen Story Hour can be a
lovely event for small children where books are read by
excellent performers. Some sections of local
communities are extremely hostile to these events,
however. Sandra Hughes Hassell, who is
the author of Collection Management for Youth, is.
It's another EDI book. She is an American academic and
library and information science. She said library staff must pay
attention to issues such as racism, homophobia, transphobia,
xenophobia, ableism and economic inequality.
They must develop strategies for addressing the inequities, not
inequalities, which is very different inequities.
Marginalized identity youth experience at all aspects of
their library work, including collection development.
But how do we do that? To ensure equitable library
collections for all youth, library staff who act as
collectors must adopt A structural ideology.
There's that word again, the Juche idea, the Juche ideology
that came from Lennon originally, according to John
Pateman perspective that recognizes the role of systems
in marginalizing and oppressing marginalized identity youth.
This is another book for about school libraries with impact,
which is another publication of the book published by Phillip
the last couple of years. Just a few quotes from this.
A group of parents and carers from a particular religion
cannot force the library not to stock books with LGBTQ plus
characters using the argument that it is against their
beliefs. The Equality Act protects the
library from enforced censorship and challenges to resource
provision. Ofsted state that the school
environment should meet the needs of all peoples
irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, race,
religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
They will look at behavior and safety within a school in the
context of the Equality Act. A key component of the statutory
guidance for safeguarding is having an equality and diversity
policy that seeks to prevent discrimination, harassment and
bullying and details how to deal with these issues.
And not sure what that means for people who are both slum or
Christian or any other religion in this country.
Book 28 is an L GB TIQ sort of organization.
They have a small lending library in London and they also
provide guidance for librarians. I'll just summarize this
quickly. And basically what they say is
that they give you information on how to subvert the the normal
ways that librarians get materials into libraries by
going to other suppliers, including books for younger
Children, Board books, picture books, middle grade books.
And that we have noticed that sometimes it's improving
according to them that the young adult titles do tender I've more
automatically. But for children's titles, it is
essential to look beyond the UK, including our list of library
survive suppliers, which is a link on their website and Book
Awards for LGBT IQ as well as some the Sheffield University
list challenges, which also includes children's titles.
And just a just a couple of ways these actually come through
through these vendors that provide things like book lists.
They they have this is Peters, a book supplier to libraries
diversive and inclusive books for schools.
They work with an organization, a charity called Inclusive Books
for Children that make up these lists that that tell tell the
librarians what they should be buying.
And Book Trust is another one to take a look at where they have
again, book list. They say they support
librarians. They curate books for
librarians. Don't worry, librarians, you
have lots of time because we're going to come up with the list
for you of what you need to buy. Here's an example of one of
their best books from the past year, which shows all kinds of
diversity present in this book. And again, this is the part of
the PSHE curriculum for young children, Dewey Decimal numbers
that are provided by the Book 28 organization.
We see three O 6.775 is S&M. We see three O 6.768 as
transgender and intersex people. 79.2.028 is drag and Bale and
field Bale impersonation. So if you want to find those in
your library, that's where you find them.
And there's a list of terms called the Homosaurus, which is
specifically for LGBTQ population.
And one of their items as an official term that can be used
to describe books and library catalogues is, in fact,
transgender children. So, Brian, I think it's pretty
easy to see here what they're doing.
We see the ideology coming from North Korea and from Lenin and
from the Soviet Union and coming all the way down into telling
librarians how they need to describe the materials in the
catalogues and even tell them them what books they should be
buying. And interestingly enough, that
pathway comes through the so-called rules based
international order, which says effectively that it's based on
Western democracy. So something very different is
going. We'll talk about this a lot more
in UK column Extra. Ben, take us a little deeper
down the rabbit hole with Innovate.
I can't believe that he referenced Kim Jong Un as a as
an inspiration. I mean, that's just crazy, isn't
it? Anyway, the global energy
transition, the grand transition rumbles on the public private
marketplace touched down in London last week for Innovation
0 World Congress. Let's see some highlights from
day one we're. Here at a conference called
Innovation 0, we need. All of us as a.
Community of business leaders, but also government leaders have
the courage to stay the course. That's why this conference is so
important, bringing us together. I think we should speak openly
and candidly with people about what it will take to enable
energy bills to fall whilst we do the right thing for the
planet. Making electricity cheap is so
vital because 60% of our emissions reduction over the
next decade is going to come from building cheap electricity.
Well, I think this event is fantastic.
I mean, just a scale of it there.
It was absolutely packed. It's vital that we have the
investment in a low carbon economy that will deliver
renewable energy and the growth of the net zero economy.
Well, clean power is one of the most important things that we're
doing to support the UK economy right now because it's about
investment. If we get that right, this is
one of the greatest business opportunities of our lifetime.
There you have it, the greatest business opportunity of our
lifetime. I'm not even going to tell you
what they want because you know what they want?
They want to completely remodel the whole system, move us over
to these new untested technologies that don't work and
frankly, a completely unnecessary.
Who's delivering the message most the usual suspects.
So Sundarine Dixon declared she's a really nasty piece of
work. This woman, I've listened to a
lot of what she has to say. I just took this screen grab,
you know, just just just without trying to picture her in any
particular way. But I think it sums her up quite
nicely. She is apparently the author and
executive chair of something called Earth for All.
But also importantly, they miss this bit out.
She's president of the Club of Rome, right?
And she's the first person in their video.
So I think that tells you a lot about what the priorities are
and who's ultimately calling the shots.
Who else have we got in the frame?
Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus Energy, basically the selected
champion of net zero. And for me, this guy's, he's a
front man. You actually listen to what he's
talking about anytime that he speaks, imagine that he's just
delivering a script and that he doesn't actually understand what
he's saying, and I think you'll get a real insight into what
this guy's about. He's essentially a front man for
global capital and in particular, some of the big
technology plays that are happening further up the chain
inside Octopus Group cracking in particular, I think you need to
go and have a look at. It's basically a global control
system, hold International Energy infrastructure, and he's
basically just the front man to help usher this whole thing
through. Who else was there?
Emma Pinchbeck, new CEO of the climate change committee.
I've got to say, it's remarkable.
She actually made it to the event.
Apparently by her own emissions. She has trouble getting out of
bed in the morning, and I'll just leave that there.
Who else lauded there? Turner, the chairman of the FSA
during the 2008 financial crisis.
So he's actually personally responsible for all of those
bankers that went to prison after the the great crash in
2008. Oh, sorry, no, no bankers.
No bankers went to prison, did they?
So he oversaw that. He's also a member of the G30,
who was the group that overseed the Bank of International
Settlements, The the kind of the, the central Bank of central
bankers. And he actually describes
himself as a technocrat. That's how he talks about
himself and what he does. And then finally, this little
squeaker, this is Chris Stark, who's the head of Mission for
Clean Power, another unelected technocrat.
And I will just say to Mr. Stark, although we're going to
be bringing you back in because you're quite important.
We'll talk about you a lot over the coming months, Mr. Stark.
But I would just say for now, what happens in Edinburgh stays
in Edinburgh, doesn't it, Mr. Stark?
Well, I'm sure you will certainly help.
I hope so anyway. So that's the central command
and control function, all things being ushered in by these
clowns. So these are the ones doing The
Dirty work down in the trenches. So you've got from the left,
Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester, Steve Rotherham,
mayor of the Liverpool City region, Mattie Coburn, deputy
mayor for energy and the environment in London, Sadiq
Khan's best mate, Andrew of my life, my say, an Obama leader,
actually a Rothschild puppet. And these three are being
babysat there by auntie you can see, which is Emma Howard, Boyd
CBE, who's also wearing a dandelion badge.
And we've spoken about dandelions a lot previously and
she is pulling the strings there with those three.
The metro mares are there doing what they're told by the
dandelions. And that just gives us a sense
of how this whole thing is being orchestrated and also a sense
of, I think, how we can push back against it.
Because the Simon Steele, the top guy for climate change at
the UN, told us the other day, local governments are absolutely
crucial in driving climate action.
If it doesn't happen at a local level, it doesn't happen
anywhere. So this is where the fight is to
stop to this whole thing. Okay, Ben, thank you very much.
We're going to continue in a forthcoming news additions to
dig into this morass of policymakers because we have to
get the lid off it to stop it. Diane, where does that take us
with yourself? I just wanted to cover something
that will be, will be coming in much greater detail.
As we know countries around the world unfortunately have been
doing their inquiries, which we know are essentially cover ups.
And I'm, I'm working on some deeper research on that.
So I just wanted to say I got in touch or actually she got in
touch with me. This lady called Linda Wharton,
who is in charge of the Health Forum New Zealand.
And what she's got for us is basically she's responding to
phase two of the inquiry in New Zealand.
We all know about single source of truth.
Just send our Durham, who was in charge at the time and what she
did to the people of New Zealand was very, very disturbing.
So phase two of the inquiry, you could read the the details.
There's quite a bit, but the part that I wanted you to see
was that the way they worded it was quite, I thought rather
insulting. They said Phase 2 is focusing on
the topics anti mandate groups got most hung up on such as
vaccines, lockdowns and mandates.
So she took that for real. And her group, which has all
been about supporting the vaccine injured and so on in New
Zealand. She decided to go ahead and and
take care of that. So this is her website, the
Health forum New Zealand supporting COVID vaccine
impacted. They call it vaccine impacted in
New Zealand, New Zealanders. And here's a quote from her.
This was an e-mail that she sent to me a few days ago because she
worked really hard to meet the deadline for getting submissions
from the public. And As for the final deadline,
as of on Friday there had only been 7300 submissions.
After 48 hours of manic posting emailing Facebook lives in 16
hour days. We finished with 31,000
submissions, certainly not what the commissioners had been
expecting, but we are all overwhelmed and delighted.
The health forum submission was huge and in several different
parts. I'm sending you just a few of
the documents we wrote to serve as an overview to the Health
Forum and the New Zealand COVID experience and just to show a
couple of photos that she sent me.
I I'm still looking through the documents that she sent me, but
she told me I was free to share what she had sent to me.
So here's a photo of of different vaccine injured
people. It's telling their stories
saying please no more mandates was about employment mandates
because in New Zealand you weren't allowed to work if you
didn't get vaccinated. So here's a lady who said I
refused to be a trial subject. My body, my choice. 18 years
caregiver vaccine took my friend, almost took my partner.
Now it has taken my livelihood 11 years, a midwife said
somebody else advocating informed decisions.
Where's ours? Coercion is not a choice.
So there's a huge submission of all these people.
There's a joint submission and as I said, over 30,000
submissions and getting all that together in just a few days.
I really hope that the New Zealand Government will be
overwhelmed by this incredible evidence that they've submitted.
But again, as we've been saying throughout the news, Brian, it's
another great example of people actually getting out there and
doing something to let their voices be heard and let the
governments be taking health to account to what they've done to
us. Thank, thank you very much.
Yes, it's. Outstanding to see people
getting out and tackling what's happening.
We have to understand what is being done, how we're being
attacked, especially the attacks on our minds.
And then we have to get out there and challenge it at every
level, whether that's a political level or whether it's
simply getting in at the ground on some of those local authority
meetings, parish council meetings, in order to challenge
people pushing the policy through.
Well, let's just end on this. I'll do this very quickly.
We'll cover it in more detail on Another Day's News.
But essentially I've been, I've been pushing this interview,
which will come out fairly shortly, but a really
extraordinary interview with the person down in Cornwall talking
about the destruction of the church, the Christian Church,
who is doing the destruction of the church, the Church of
England itself. But luckily Christians in
Cornwall now starting to speak out.
But if you want to know what's coming, well, this is back to
2023 Private Members Bill, disestablishment to the Church
of England. And this we can see really
what's planned. Now this seems to be stagnant at
the moment, but it reflects the mindset of people that want to
completely emasculate the Church of England.
Here's the bill printed on the 6th of December 2023, and I'll
just put in a little bit of the text here on screen.
You can obviously freeze that, but the purpose of this Act is
to secure that the Church of England is disestablished and
all the powers over faith, doctrine, liturgy, property,
discipline and appointments now exercised over or on behalf of
that Church. But the Crown Parliament or
private patrons are transferred in their entirety to the General
Synod of the Church of England to be exercised in accordance
with any rules determined by that body.
Why this has become so significant for me is that the
Christians in Cornwall are talking about the Church of
England itself. It's governing bodies destroying
churches in Cornwall and other locations in UK.
It says the committee must be established.
Sorry, let's just bring that on. And the committee must make
recommendations to identify the legislative changes required to
disestablish the Church of England, including ensuring the
sovereign no longer holds the title of defender of the faith
and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
Now, I'm going to stop there, but we will look at this in more
detail. It's very clear that there is a
major attack on the Church of England, the Christian Church
going on in this country. And of course, it's coming from
the highest levels of our political system.
Why do they need to do this? This follows the Marxist
ideology, which has been a theme of today's news, that you must
destroy people's ability to have a connection with a loving God.
So I think today's news very, very important on this bank
holiday. What can you do about it?
Challenge it at every opportunity in the simplest way,
any way you can. And do it by joining up with
other people. Because we're all stronger if we
work together. We must end there.
Diane, thank you very much for joining me in the studio.
Ben, thank you for coming in for From studio #2 and a huge thank
you to all the audience that have joined us today for UK
Column News. If you're a member of UK Column,
we'll be back in a few minutes for UK Column Extra.
Join us then. Thank you very much.
Bye. Bye bye.
