1 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,640 Good afternoon. It's Friday the 24th of May 2 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,600 2024, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK called News. 3 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,120 I'm your host Mike Robinson, joining me by video link. 4 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,000 Today we have Debbie Evans and Ben Rubin. 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,600 Well, of course we're going to get started with the election. 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,280 Hopefully this we won't be talk talking too much about the 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,120 election over the next six weeks, but we will talk about it 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,800 a little today. So we put that on screen. 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,760 Polling stations will be open on the 4th of July and well of 10 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,560 course that's Independence Day if you're in the United States. 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,920 So I thought it was appropriate we should call that Independence 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,720 Day in the UK because we would like to see many independent 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,760 candidates doing very, very well and kicking a bunch of these 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,480 party Political Animals out. So what's been going on today? 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,480 Well, first of all, they are now rushing in the Commons to pass 16 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,840 certain types of legislation. So the infected blood 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,480 compensation legislation, they want to get passed. 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,000 They want to get the Post Office convictions quashed today. 19 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,200 They want the Victims and Prisoners Bill passed if they 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,800 possibly can. The media bill is going to be 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,520 heard, but it's unlikely I suppose, which gets a yellow and 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,160 the Reds are the no fault evictions that's going to be 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,480 dropped or has been dropped. And the cigarette ban seems to 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,520 have been dropped. But of course, what else has 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,200 been dropped? While they're busy campaigning, 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,360 require any opportunity to read the House of Commons Library 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,600 briefing on what is the proposed World Health Organization 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,160 Pandemic preparedness treaty. That, of course, will all take 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,280 place while the House of Commons is away shouting at people to 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,320 vote for them. So nobody gets to read this this 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960 article within the House of Commons. 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,360 Perhaps that's not a bad thing, but the rewards have been coming 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,840 out because many Tory MPs, of course, are not standing again. 34 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,360 They see the writing on the wall and they don't see the points. 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,160 So they're running for cover at the moment and not standing 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160 again. One of those, of course, is Matt 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,520 Hancock. But he is very proud that he's 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,680 been given the whip back. So the whip as a Tory, he's back 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,480 in the Conservative Party as of yesterday after two decades 40 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,560 serving his country, he says, in opposition and in government. 41 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,520 And he wishes Rishi and all his colleagues all the best in the 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,240 campaign, campaign to come. But he's proud to leave 43 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,640 Parliament as a Conservative. MPI don't know whether these 44 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:37,800 people even recognise the optics of of their behaviour sometimes. 45 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,720 But anyway, I thought we should take a look at who is going to 46 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,080 be the next Prime Minister because he is probably going to 47 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,200 be the next Prime Minister, and that's Keir Starmer. 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,080 And of course we all remember a few months ago when he was at 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,760 Davos being asked whether he would rather be in parliament or 50 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520 at Davos. And he was very clear that he 51 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,360 would prefer to be at Davos because he could get business 52 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,920 done at Davos. And what kind of business was he 53 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:04,480 talking about? Well, we'll have a look at that 54 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,080 in a second. But of course we can't forget 55 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,640 that sitting on his shoulder is the ghost of Jimmy Savile, and 56 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,200 Keir Starmer should never be allowed to forget that. 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040 So what am I talking about when it comes to why would he prefer 58 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,800 to be at Davos? Well, this is the main reason, 59 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,360 of course. Keir Starmer, one of only two 60 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,960 sitting MPs to have been a member of the Trilateral 61 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Commission and he's still a proud member. 62 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,720 Or sorry, he's still proudly mentioned on the Trilateral 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Commission website. He is no longer a member, 64 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,000 allegedly. I'm not certain that if you join 65 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,480 an organization like this you ever leave, but that's another 66 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,520 question. And the other MP that was 67 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,200 serving whilst being a member of the Trilateral Commission was 68 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,720 former MI 6 agent Rory Stewart, otherwise known as Florence of 69 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,000 Libya of Arabia. So these are the only two MPs 70 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000 that have been serving in the Trilateral Commission at the 71 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,600 same time as being MPs. Now of course we all know that 72 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,200 Rory Stewart was the man who went to Bilderberg Group and 73 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,960 then refused to explain to his constituent when he was asked 74 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,000 what he whether he was there in a professional as as an MP or a 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,800 personal capacity. And we know that Tobias Elwood 76 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,480 has played the same gag with respect to 77 Brigade. 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680 So maybe there's some questions to be asked about Keir Starmer 78 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,880 and his activities outside of Parliament and whether he's 79 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,880 really appropriate to be an MP or, sorry, a Prime Minister or 80 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,800 not. Now, if you want some more 81 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,400 background to this, Declassified UK has this article. 82 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,000 Keir Starmer joined secretive CIA link group while serving in 83 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,640 Corbyn's shadow cabinet, and I published this in July last 84 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,720 year. It gives a lot of background to 85 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,960 Starmer's involvement with the Trilateral Commission, and I 86 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,280 strongly recommend that everybody reads that and perhaps 87 00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:59,400 would want to distribute that as far and wide as possible. 88 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,600 So then we should remember, and Ben, I'm going to ask you about 89 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,600 this because during Passover, of course, he was recording a video 90 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,080 at the Allith Synagogue. But but Ben, this isn't this 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,920 isn't the normal synagogue that he goes to. 92 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,760 No, it's not. Starmer and his family go to the 93 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,960 Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St. John's Wood, which is also the 94 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,680 synagogue attended by various members of the Rothschild 95 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,160 family. Right. 96 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,080 So what we see here is someone who pretends to be a politician, 97 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,880 a career politician, pretends to be wanting to be Prime Minister, 98 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,800 but in fact prefers to be hobnobbing with the people at 99 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360 Davos, with the people in the Trilateral Commission and with 100 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,440 the Rothschilds. So where does that leave us with 101 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,960 respect to democracy? That's a very good question. 102 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840 And you know, let's not just pick on Keir Starmer. 103 00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,080 He's clearly got some questions to answer here. 104 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,360 But this is just the political class through and through, isn't 105 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080 it? Well, it is and well, I'm 106 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,960 picking on him because he wants to be the boss. 107 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,320 So it's it's reasonable to pick on him, I think. 108 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,000 I mean, you're right, it does go beyond him as well. 109 00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:18,080 So what we would say then is let's not have either of these 110 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,600 fools. We don't certainly don't want 111 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,360 Rishi Sunak. We don't want Keir Starmer 112 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,000 either. It is going to be Independence 113 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Day. And so let's create this hashtag 114 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,880 of Independence Day and let's make sure that the independents 115 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,560 get a fair shout. Now we've said it before, I'll 116 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,160 say it again. In the past, independents don't 117 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,840 get it, haven't had a fair shout. 118 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,520 And when Brian stood as an independent in the 2010 119 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,880 election, if you remember the story, the BBC arrived at the UK 120 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,600 column office and invited him to give an interview to the BBC. 121 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080 He asked how long have I got? And they said 6 seconds. 122 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,400 So that is the type of coverage that independents normally get. 123 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,560 It is up to us to give the independent, the independents, 124 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,440 their standing that we agree with at least the opportunity to 125 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,520 get a fair hearing. So we'll leave it there. 126 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,960 And as I say, hopefully not too much from us on the election 127 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960 over the coming weeks because it's not really that 128 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,480 interesting, I think, but I thought we should at least make 129 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,080 some kind of opening comment on it. 130 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,840 But Ben, you've got war on Starmer. 131 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,360 Absolutely. And you are absolutely correct 132 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,280 Mike. He is going for the top job so 133 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,840 he does require special scrutiny and let's let him tell us what 134 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,200 his plans for the country are, in particular what the most 135 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,640 important mission is facing the UK. 136 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,520 The most important mission, bar none, is economic growth. 137 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,440 I see you as the engines for change. 138 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,480 Today, we're here to talk about how we as mayors can focus on 139 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,920 growth. We're already doing it. 140 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,680 The incumbent throwing our economy faster than other places 141 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,800 in the country. We know that devolution. 142 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,000 Works. It's an absolute. 143 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,480 Privilege here to be here. Partners group rooting with 144 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,600 Labour. Making the difference the Labor 145 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,880 mayors working with local government can give certain 146 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,480 people in this region for the first time a generation, hope 147 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,120 that the last can better hope that the power is in a better 148 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,800 future here, and hope that the places really. 149 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,040 Live have a better future too. We. 150 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600 Need to build from the foundations of create good 151 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,480 quality local jobs that really matter to people, to get control 152 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,440 of our public transport and to train the childcare workers so 153 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,800 that people can overcome those barriers to getting into work. 154 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,840 The engine room of National. Renewal is around this table. 155 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,640 Our task is to rebuild our. Economy from the ground up, and 156 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,520 that can only be done with leaders like. 157 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:49,320 You that. Was delightful. 158 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Wasn't it just, yes, the engine room of national growth? 159 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,800 They're going to rebuild the economic system from the ground 160 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,760 up. There's nothing more hilarious 161 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,920 than politicians talking about economic growth. 162 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,400 Not a single one of the people in that film have created a 163 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,880 single viable job in their entire careers. 164 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,840 And they're not going to at any point in the future. 165 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,520 I can promise you that. But they've been engaging in the 166 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,640 economic discussion. And this week a bunch of those 167 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,520 people, that was the the metro mayors and Keir Starmer, a bunch 168 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320 of the metro mayors have descended on Leeds for this 169 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,200 event, which is UK Reef, the Real Estate Investment and 170 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,760 Infrastructure Forum. And they are helping to build 171 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,600 Back better as she still says that on their LinkedIn page. 172 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000 Ryan, Build Back better is obviously the World Economic 173 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,840 Forum mantra that I thought most people had abandoned around 2022 174 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,960 because we worked out what it meant. 175 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,960 But they're still at it up in Leeds. 176 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:55,440 It's a big exhibition and a public private marketplace 177 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,240 ultimately for new technologies in energy and infrastructure. 178 00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,400 Bunch of the mayors were there. So you can see here, these are a 179 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,360 few of the people that were in that video, Steve Rotherham from 180 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,280 Liverpool, Tracy Brabin, the mayor of West Yorkshire upfront, 181 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,520 they're taking a selfie, doing the the major work of current 182 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800 21st century politician, taking pictures for social media. 183 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,440 You've also got Oliver Coppard from South Yorkshire, Richard 184 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,640 Parker, the new mayor of the West Midlands and Angela Rayner 185 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,960 there, shadow secretary for levelling up at the back. 186 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,840 Andy Burnham was also floating around mayor of Greater 187 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,200 Manchester. And Rory Stewart, who Mike has 188 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,920 already talked about, he was there too. 189 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,160 And I actually don't think that he's ever been to the north of 190 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,000 England before. This is the kind of gentleman 191 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,840 that gets a a bit of Vertigo if he goes north of the Watford 192 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,200 Gap. So anyway, he made a special, 193 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,040 special effort to get there. And as I said, this is a, this 194 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,880 is a public, private marketplace, right? 195 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,360 So this is about introducing investors and developers to 196 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,200 mayors who are ultimately going to be funding this new energy 197 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,520 system, this new economic system that we're going to build from 198 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,960 the ground up, right? And as we've spoken about a lot 199 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,480 and we'll continue to speak about this kind of public, 200 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,560 private marketplace is, is fascist. 201 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:11,840 This is a fascist system. And it's predicated really on 202 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,840 the wholesale demolition of existing cities, especially 203 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,200 existing industrial capacity, which is ultimately where 204 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,880 economic growth comes from, right? 205 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,080 So you've got these people talking about growth. 206 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,520 They want to use taxes to fund growth. 207 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,080 That doesn't make any sense. And in the process of doing what 208 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,600 we're planning to do, we're going to destroy the actual 209 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,240 source of growth. Try and make sense of that. 210 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,800 You can't. It's, it's completely 211 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,960 contradictory. And so this is about 212 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,240 construction, but it's also very much about about transportation 213 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,840 especially. You would have seen that that 214 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,320 video with Starmer in at the start was held in a bus station. 215 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,600 So this is about the transportation systems, public 216 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,040 transport driving towards 0 carbon technologies, smart 217 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,560 grids, ultimately 15 minute cities, the whole shebang as put 218 00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,640 forward by the World Economic Forum. 219 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,800 And it is being fully backed by the cabinet with the shadow 220 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,880 cabinet certainly as as they still are at the moment, this 221 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,840 moment in time. So this is Angela Rayner, the 222 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,760 shadow secretary for levelling up, basically standing there and 223 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,480 giving the full formal front bench stamp of approval to 224 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,440 proceedings. This is what we're going to do. 225 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,080 This is where Gross is going to come from. 226 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,360 Regional mayors borrowing money from private investors to 227 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,400 purchase services from private sector companies in a public in 228 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,960 a, in a, in a fascist marketplace, which will leave 229 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,600 our cities looking like this, right? 230 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,520 So this is the reef site up in Leeds. 231 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,480 This is the creative quarter, right? 232 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,800 This doesn't look like a, a, a northern city. 233 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,840 That's not actually what Leeds is like, right? 234 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,280 This is some little little bubble that they've created with 235 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,680 these identity kit buildings. You could be anywhere in Europe, 236 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,720 you could be anywhere in the world really. 237 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,480 Like there's absolutely no flavour, no local personality to 238 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,640 this. And, and all of it, particularly 239 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,880 the, the electric stuff, the net zero stuff is built on really, 240 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,520 really dodgy technology, right? So we know that it's predicated 241 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,640 on the use of slave labour. This is a cobalt mine in the 242 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,560 Congo. There are over 40,000 child 243 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:17,680 slaves working in appalling conditions to mine the raw 244 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:20,880 materials for this smart grid that we're being told that we 245 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,960 need to move over to. And actually, this is a big 246 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,080 geopolitical issue because just this last week there was an 247 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,040 attempted coup in the Congo, right? 248 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:35,320 So this was actually entertainingly perpetrated or 249 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,520 they attempted to to carry out a coup. 250 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,240 One of the people involved was this fella Benjamin Rubin. 251 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,680 No relation, but I thought that was quite funny to see my own 252 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:45,680 name pop up. Slightly different spelling. 253 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,840 And a lot of this is being coordinated by or, or it 254 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,720 certainly has been suggested, it's being coordinated by this 255 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,480 fella Dan Gertler, who is an Israeli billionaire who runs 256 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,320 many of these mines alongside a lot of Chinese mining companies 257 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,680 as well. So labour economic policy, the 258 00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:08,280 engine of growth, this big transition that they're saying 259 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,800 that they're going to invest in is predicated on the use of 260 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,600 slave labour. And ultimately, it's just 261 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,640 another form of Western imperialism, right? 262 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,880 That's what being offered here and how they're going to get us 263 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,440 to go along to it and pay for it. 264 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,520 Well, let's have a little look at what's been going on in 265 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:34,400 Hackney in London. It's an urban setting, it's 266 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,480 overpopulated, so the impact of heat is much bigger. 2022 The 267 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,200 40° heat wave across London that was putting a huge amount of 268 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,640 pressure resources on an already stretched NHS. 269 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,120 The most vulnerable people are the ones who work outside. 270 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,400 Homeless people, single parents who have nest means people who 271 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,480 are elderly. I've. 272 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,360 Found it very very uncomfortable. 273 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,840 I nearly passed out a couple of times. 274 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,600 When the weather is too us. I'm short of breath so you can 275 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,520 imagine how it affects people who are older than me. 276 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,880 So questions how can work together to minimize that harm, 277 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,240 to help a population stay fit and healthy, to cope with that 278 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,320 heat? The council, they have a lot of 279 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,200 part to play and we in the community have a lot to play as 280 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,560 well. People should be educated, tell 281 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,760 people what to do in case of this emergency. 282 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,440 How prepared we are in London is a big question mark. 283 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,920 So it's a great Ave. to start this conversation and start 284 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:37,960 acting on it. Democratic innovation sortition, 285 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,520 basically railroading the public into agreeing to signing up to 286 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,040 these new technologies, all handed down from the Economic 287 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,200 Forum and and the UNA wholesale transition of our society. 288 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,720 A new energy system, untested technologies, destruction of 289 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,880 existing cities and industrial capacity using experimental 290 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,960 technologies paid for with taxpayer money in a deeply 291 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,640 compromised public private marketplace. 292 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,680 All predicated on the use of slave labour in Africa to 293 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,400 ultimately benefit the Chinese mining companies. 294 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,120 And an Israeli billionaire who may have just tried to carry out 295 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,640 a military coup. All with the blessing of labour 296 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,080 leadership. He really couldn't make this 297 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,440 stuff up. Yeah, a little later in the 298 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,640 programme we'll be talking about the National Grid, and so we'll 299 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,840 have more to say on that in a second. 300 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,720 More public private partnerships on the way. 301 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,880 But Debbie, they're rushing through the legislation to give 302 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:39,960 compensation to people affected by the infected blood scandal. 303 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,280 Tell us more about blood. Yes. 304 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,840 Well, good afternoon everyone. And you know, blood is essential 305 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080 to life fact. And in light of the infected 306 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,680 blood scandal, which has taken 40 years to get to this point, I 307 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,720 might add, let's look at blood because is history repeating 308 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,040 itself again, because I have a feeling it might be. 309 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,400 So just before I I start off, I just want people to know that 310 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,200 the average adult will will carry just over a gallon of 311 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,280 blood. OK. 312 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,920 And you have to be 17 to 65 years old to give blood. 313 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,200 So are you able to give blood in the UK? 314 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:24,359 Well, actually when it comes to the COVID injection, you might 315 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,280 want to take note because according to the NHS Blood and 316 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,480 Transplant Service, if you have had a coronavirus vaccine, 317 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,800 Please wait. Now, Please remember this 318 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:42,440 everybody 48 hours after having the vaccine before giving blood. 319 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:48,200 So just note that 48 hours. Now I found an article in The 320 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,080 Eye which says that the NHS blood service is amongst the 321 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,760 world's safest. But of course infection risk 322 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240 will never be zero. Now this was an article written 323 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,240 by Paul Gallagher. Now I wonder where he got that 324 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,920 from? Well, as you saw on Wednesday, 325 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,040 Mike showed June Dame June rain. Ensuring the public that the 326 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,560 blood is safe in the UK maybe carries a little risk, but it's 327 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,560 safe. So let's go and have a look at 328 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,360 some proofs. Are we, shall we deemed June 329 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,520 rain? Because at the MHRA board 330 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,680 meeting, of which can I just say to everybody listening, please 331 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,400 join us for extra because I have so much more to say about the 332 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,280 MHRA board meeting. But clearly during the MHRA 333 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,640 board meeting, blood was declared to be safe. 334 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:37,360 So let's go and have a look at AHA journals circulation, which 335 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:41,120 actually says here that circulating spike protein 336 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:46,240 detected in post COVID-19 mRNA vaccine myocarditis. 337 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,640 Free spike antigen was found in the blood of adolescents and 338 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,120 young adults who developed post mRNA vaccine myocarditis. 339 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,080 So we know that free spike antigen is in the blood. 340 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,520 So if we go further and look at the British Journal of 341 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,960 Hematology, there's a paper, very interesting paper actually 342 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,840 called refusing blood transfusions from COVID-19 343 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,040 vaccinated donors. Are we repeating history? 344 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,680 So when I look further on in the paper, and this is where it gets 345 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,240 very interesting because it talks about deferral times. 346 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,040 That's how long it should be after you've had an injection to 347 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,000 how how long you should give blood. 348 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,880 Now, according to the West, to the National, the National 349 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,600 Library of Medicine, there is no standard deferral time. 350 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,520 However, if you just go back to that slide very quickly, you'll 351 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:44,080 see that The Who actually are recommending 28 days after 352 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,320 having COVID vaccination because the mRNA and the adenovirus 353 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,440 AstraZeneca would all be classified as indeterminate. 354 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,640 So that's 28 days. There is no evidence. 355 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,960 I have to say that's what the blood service have to say. 356 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,320 However, if we go to the next paper, we can see that vaccine 357 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:11,040 mRNA can be detected in blood at 15 days post vaccination. 358 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,520 It says the bio distribution and pharmakinetics of the mRNA 359 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:20,360 containing lipid nanoparticles in these vaccines are unknown in 360 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,880 humans and we know that they are in the blood 15 days. 361 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,200 Post vaccination. So I I rest my case. 362 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,560 Currently blood is not being screened for mRNA and spike 363 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,320 protein. No one knows the effects at all. 364 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,040 Do you trust the blood that you or your family may be receiving 365 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,080 now while we're on to the MHRA very, very quickly they 366 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,880 announced that the board meeting a consultation on improved 367 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,000 safety for high risk in vitro diagnostic devices. 368 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,480 These are devices that can examine samples taken from the 369 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,520 human body to diagnose and monitor health conditions. 370 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,240 And you might see in red there I've I've written to identify 371 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:09,200 blood type before transfusions or tests which identify life 372 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,160 threatening diseases. And the next slide is just the 373 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,360 consultation. Please go and look at it because 374 00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,000 the consultation has now officially opened. 375 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:24,000 But there's much more to say and a lot more exposure to do of the 376 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,160 MHRA board meeting coming up in Extra. 377 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,440 Yes. OK. 378 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,880 So, so basically we've got a situation where the MHRA is 379 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,080 suggesting 48 hours and all the advice from the other official 380 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,880 bodies, never mind what we might think the other official bodies 381 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,080 saying, actually the time scale needs to be much longer than 382 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,120 that. Yeah. 383 00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:48,240 And I can also say there Mike, too, that nobody is asked at the 384 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,880 point of transfusion. And Cheryl Granger wanted me to 385 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,440 make this point in particular. This is lipid nanoparticles as 386 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,160 well as mRNA and this gets distributed by the blood to, to 387 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,240 all of your organs, testes, reproductive organs. 388 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,880 And nobody is asked at the time of of donation, have they 389 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,920 received the COVID vaccine or not, how many they've received 390 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,360 boosters. No one's asked anything. 391 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:17,840 So there are no guarantees. OK, Debbie, thank you very much. 392 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,840 OK, let's move on. If you like what the UK column 393 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,320 does and you'd like to support us, then please go to 394 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,920 support.ukcolumn.org.

Share anything you find on the 399 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,240 various platforms, especially over the next few weeks because 400 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,520 we, as I say, we want to support independence where we possibly 401 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,360 can and get these stupid parties out of politics in this country. 402 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,440 But nonetheless, there'll be a lot of other stuff to share on 403 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,000 the various platforms. Again, a quick reminder, 404 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,880 apparently we have no longer access to Facebook because we're 405 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,000 locked out as is, as are others that we know of, including 406 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,600 Vanessa Bailey. If you'd like to pick something 407 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,760 up at the UK column shop, there's plenty there. 408 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,760 Please do, I just want to mention as well, of course, 409 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,920 quite a number of UK Column people up at the Stand and the 410 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,400 Light Festival in Cumbria. So here is UK Column Villas 411 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,920 which got built yesterday afternoon and I think they're 412 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,120 having a slightly wet day there today, but hopefully the weather 413 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:35,720 will improve over the next day or two. 414 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,360 Debbie, your latest blog is up. It is indeed. 415 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,960 And can I just say what is Wellness? 416 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960 And you're going to be hearing a lot more about Wellness from 417 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,480 Professor Diane Rasmussen Mukady. 418 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,520 It's it's going to be mind blowing. 419 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,840 So keep an eye out for that. MHRA, of course, UK royal 420 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320 family. Where are they and what is Wig 421 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,760 Ovi being used for? Yes, OK. 422 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,280 Thanks, Debbie. And Debbie, you are about to 423 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,000 release an interview about something called the Control 424 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,960 Group. Oh yeah, I'm really grateful for 425 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,320 for the opportunity to have spoken to this amazing 426 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,120 organization. Now, guys, if you want a 427 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:18,960 parallel system, this is the parallel system for you. 428 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,680 I'm going to tell you about the control group. 429 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,160 So basically it's an independent observational health outcome 430 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,800 study working outside of corporate medical establishment. 431 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,920 I had the privilege of interviewing Denny Van Cleef 432 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,080 about this. She's a mum, she set this up 433 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,400 from scratch. It is absolutely mind blowing 434 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,000 and I can't tell you enough that they issue you with a card. 435 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,920 There's the interviews coming out on Tuesday. 436 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,280 We're going to show you a preview, but they issue you a 437 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800 card if you join up. We need 1,000,000 people, 438 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,480 everyone. And if you join up, you're 439 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,000 technically participating in a worldwide study, and therefore 440 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,200 you can't be included on any other experimental studies. 441 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,120 If you get my meaning, let's have a quick sneak preview of 442 00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:09,360 Tuesday's interview when we first. 443 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:13,760 Started the control group. The idea was that we needed to 444 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,560 stand up and be proud of our status and not people who 445 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,920 haven't taken the vaccine were terrified of talking up and 446 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,320 speaking up and making themselves known in the crowd. 447 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,280 And we said the best way to fight back about this is to come 448 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,680 together and be visible. So we created a card. 449 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:28,200 Let's get it on screen there. I don't know. 450 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,080 If you can see it, it was, it was our membership card and we 451 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,000 sent these out around the world. And the idea was that when 452 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,280 people ask you to show your vaccine pass, we say, actually, 453 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,080 I'm in the control group. I don't have one. 454 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,280 The great thing was people were letting people in. 455 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,440 So people would use these to get into work. 456 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,080 They'd use them to get into restaurants. 457 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,680 We've even had people use them to get into other countries, 458 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,120 even want some of our members of staff have used these when you 459 00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,960 weren't allowed to travel if you're unvaccinated. 460 00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,400 This has worked. And it wasn't. 461 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,640 It's not a fake pass. It is what it is. 462 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,440 It's a membership card. But it's it's helped people. 463 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,720 People told us that they felt protected by it. 464 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,560 They felt that actually just having it on them, even if they 465 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,280 didn't need to use it, made them feel that they weren't alone. 466 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,680 That is not going to be an interview anybody wants to miss. 467 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,720 It's absolutely brilliant. Don't let the title put you off. 468 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,600 Please watch all. Right. 469 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,200 So that'll be Tuesday at 1:00 PM. 470 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,520 It is indeed. It is indeed. 471 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,360 And also I'd really like to give a big shout out to John Watts. 472 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,000 Scottish vaccine injured. Now you probably all remember 473 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,520 John Watt. We've had him on the column 474 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,560 before and he was one of the cofounders of the Scottish 475 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,240 Vaccine Injury Group and he is not resting on his laurels. 476 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,240 He's fed up with the government doing nothing. 477 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,760 So he's organised an amazing event with some great speakers. 478 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,880 It's coming up very soon and I got that. 479 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,720 It's a good fortune to catch up with him earlier. 480 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,960 So have a listen to what John Watts says about the event that 481 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,000 he's putting on to raise money for the vaccine injured. 482 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,600 So obviously there's an event on the 2nd of June in Glasgow, it's 483 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,120 called the Bring the Noise Live podcast. 484 00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:21,800 It's to try and raise our money for the vaccine injured. 485 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,120 Unfortunately, you know, there there be. 486 00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,560 The vaccine injured have kind of been left by the government and 487 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:33,440 the NHS unfortunately. And basically I'm trying to do 488 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,720 what the government should be doing after making fronting 489 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,760 Rishi Soonak. I still haven't heard anything 490 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,280 from that man. So we would think that this is 491 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,440 the kind of alliance that we need to go to to try and help 492 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,400 these people. So this event on the 2nd of June 493 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,040 is very, very important. It's a topic that must not go 494 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,080 away. I don't think we should ever 495 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,000 forget this. You know, they talk about the 496 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000 blood scandal, the post office scandal, all these scandals. 497 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,520 Well, this is the biggest scandal in history around the 498 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,520 world. So this event 2nd of June pass 499 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,960 the Grand in Glasgow. We've got fantastic speakers 500 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,120 such as Doctor Asim Mahaltra as we all know has been been doing 501 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,760 fantastic work going round the round the world. 502 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,320 He was in Helsinki speaking to governments over there. 503 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,600 We've got Doctor John Campbell, as we all know, I feel Doctor 504 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,080 John Campbell's done a fantastic job on YouTube getting the world 505 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,240 out there telling as many people as possible as he was a man that 506 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,880 took this and has now done a full U-turn on it. 507 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,800 And, and now reading out the data, Neil Handry MP, again, 508 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,360 another man who took this thing, done a full U-turn and he's now 509 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,680 speaking on XSS alongside Andrew Bridgen. 510 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,240 And Neil's a fantastic man. And then we'll get Doctor Tina 511 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,640 Pearce, who's a fantastic woman. Her and her team are one of the 512 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,800 one of the best doctors in the country. 513 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,160 The her and her team and the protocols they put in place was 514 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,520 one of the reasons why how I managed to go to my bed and how 515 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,080 I managed to go to the wheelchair. 516 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,800 Debbie. So I still struggle myself, but 517 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,000 I'm still here to raise as much awareness on this important 518 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,440 topic. This is our kind of way to go 519 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,920 back to the people because I know in the past people have 520 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,960 donated to the vaccine injured. So I'm putting on an event which 521 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,800 I'm hoping will be assure as well very powerful so they can 522 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,960 walk out of here saying, yes, that's that's subject can't go 523 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,120 away. This is a very important topic 524 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,400 and we must never give up. And I like to say bring the 525 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,720 noise, Debbie, because we've got to keep keep going, every single 526 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,560 one of us. And if anyone questions, that's 527 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,120 thing I ask both does to come along MPs, anyone from the real 528 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,640 mainstream media should be coming along to this event 529 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,080 because it needs to be held.

Debbie. 539 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,600 Now, staying with you then in Plymouth, I don't know whether 540 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640 you're about to mention this, but in Plymouth they've just 541 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,400 announced a new community health centre kind of place being built 542 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,920 at a huge expense right in the centre of the city. 543 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,520 This isn't just happening here though. 544 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,120 No. And thank you very much indeed 545 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,160 for sending me that article. And if you're in Plymouth, 546 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,520 you're going to get Rd. closures for a long time coming. 547 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,680 So after you sent me that mic, I did a bit of research and I'm so 548 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,480 sorry, go back to my own research. 549 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,800 So on UK column I published this NHS long term plan at Mental 550 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,800 Health Implementation plan, Phoenix or dinosaur. 551 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,200 What we're going to be looking at here is a complete different 552 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,360 change in health. We're looking at diagnostics, 553 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,760 but we'll come on to that in a minute. 554 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,760 So where did this all start? Well, the Blair overhaul, that 555 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,320 wasn't very surprising, was it? Where he said 501 stop shops 556 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,080 where members of the public would be able to see dentists, 557 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,560 social care professionals and GPS under one roof. 558 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,960 So we've been calling them one stop shops. 559 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,680 So what happened in the May Johnson era? 560 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:27,440 Well, in the May Johnson era, we went into prevention, Prevention 561 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,600 and early diagnosis. Remember that word diagnostics? 562 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,800 And there you have genetics monitoring, surveillance 563 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,280 basically. So I've went to the Guardian and 564 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,720 it doesn't take long. I mean, there's so many 565 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,280 articles, quite frankly, to talk about the crumbling hospitals, 566 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,480 sewage that's flooding, walls that are crumbling, hospitals 567 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,560 that are literally falling apart. 568 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,920 But of course, don't forget the Department of Health and Social 569 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,400 Care. They announced a building, 5 570 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,880 more major hospital plans. Doesn't that sound great, £20 571 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,240 billion investment? So if we go to look at the DHSC 572 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,240 fact sheet, we can see that indeed they were. 573 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,000 They're planning on building 5 major hospitals. 574 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000 There was 4040 hospitals in total, but five major hospitals. 575 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,520 But of course, we've got reinforced autoclaved aerated 576 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,400 concrete, which has damaged many of them, which is why we're 577 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,800 looking for to rebuild the hospitals. 578 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:35,320 But in May 2024, it looks as though all of that is on hold. 579 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,320 What a surprise. So the government programme, 580 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,640 this is an article from The Independent, a government 581 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,520 programme to build 40 new hospitals has been beset by 582 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,000 delay and indecision. Well that's a surprise isn't it? 583 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,920 But let's go and see what they're going to be replacing 584 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,520 them with because these are these community diagnostic 585 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,120 centres AKA one stop shop. So this was published in 2021. 586 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,120 So we're looking at millions of patients will benefit from 587 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:08,280 earlier diagnostic tests thanks to 4040 community diagnostic 588 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,200 centres set to open across England. 589 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,720 So what are these one stop shops then? 590 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,920 What are they going to be doing? Well, they're going to be doing 591 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:22,520 scans, tests, £350 million investment, early diagnosis, 592 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,520 folks, there's that word again, which early diagnosis means 593 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,200 early pharmaceuticals. Let's not forget that. 594 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,440 Pharmaceuticals before you actually need them, testing 595 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,200 healthy people before they're even sick, seeing you before you 596 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,200 need to be seen. And they're looking at cancer 597 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,840 ophthalmology, They're looking at pretty much doing every 598 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,120 single test under the sun in order to keep you out of the 599 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,040 hospitals because hospitals of course, are overwhelmed as well 600 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:54,320 as falling down around our ears. So let's jump forward to 2023 601 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,720 when gov.uk then announced that forty turns into 160. 602 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,480 So we've now got 160 community hubs all to be open my March 603 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,840 2024. So I've got a very, very short 604 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,239 video now just to show you what is actually a community 605 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,760 diagnostic centre. Have a look at this. 606 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,239 This is an exciting moment in the development of the Community 607 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,719 Diagnostic Centre here at Newmarket Community Hospital. 608 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,440 This will mean that for the local population, they'll be 609 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,840 able to get CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound scans, lung function 610 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,080 tests and heart scans much more quickly and locally. 611 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,760 The Community Diagnostic Centre will make a difference to the 612 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,360 local community, giving patients better access to high quality 613 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,080 diagnostic imaging on their doorstep. 614 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,719 You know, I have to travel to Inching Brook for my 615 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,159 assessments. I'm fortunate I have a vehicle. 616 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,040 I appreciate other people are not as fortunate. 617 00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:56,000 This can only be a good thing. Plan is to have the CDC 618 00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:01,360 completed for November 2024, see patients before Christmas. 619 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,320 It's a £15,000,000 expenditure expenditure, so it's quite a 620 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,680 significant investment in the site and the team are really 621 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,760 excited to deliver this project on behalf of the organization. 622 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,400 So there you have it and now I'm going to show you 4 very quick 623 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,200 slides which you're going to want to screenshot probably 624 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,480 because I'm going to show you where these hubs are, is one in 625 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,760 your area. So the NHS are delivering record 626 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,240 number of tests and checks. Now the next three slides are 627 00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:34,000 going to be where they are. So freeze the screen and just 628 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,040 see if one of these, one of these slides has got your area 629 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,080 on it. And after you've frozen the 630 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,720 screen and looked at whether you've got one down the road, I 631 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:48,600 want you to find out really or to hear from me how people are 632 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,720 recruited. And there was a nice little 633 00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,480 video. I've got a little screenshot of 634 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,520 the video. I watched it so you don't have 635 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,440 to. It's called NHS England 636 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,720 Community Diagnostic Centre International recruitment 637 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,240 webinar notes the word international. 638 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,480 So let's have a little bit about what they were talking about. 639 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,160 I've taken a couple of screenshots. 640 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,320 They're talking about international safe recruitment. 641 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,800 We're talking about everybody from radiographers, scientists, 642 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,160 dermatologists, you name it, pretty much everyone. 643 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,080 So when we start to look at the recruitment model, we can see 644 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,840 that these people are being built up, being brought in very, 645 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,640 very quickly. 4 to 8 weeks selection process in country, 646 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,000 training, assessment, competence, supervision, follow 647 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,600 the Lego block of training and boom, there you go. 648 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,840 You have a lot of international staff working at these centres 649 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,640 who will be doing your tests, who will be looking after you. 650 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,760 But if you do want one nice new major, brand new spanking 651 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,480 hospital, when you've been to the community diagnostic centres 652 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,000 and you've got your diagnosis of cancer or whatever, there is 653 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,320 going to be a beautiful new Cambridge Cancer Research 654 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,480 Hospital. It's already being built, so 655 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,440 that's what there is to look forward to. 656 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,400 Brilliant. Thank you, Debbie. 657 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,040 Now let's come back on to public private partnerships. 658 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,680 This was actually in a number of places in mainstream media over 659 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,760 the last couple of days. National Grid to double 660 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,240 investment in UK network to £30 billion over the next five 661 00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:22,560 years. Now of course electric cars, all 662 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,240 the new infrastructure we need because everybody's going to 663 00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,960 replace gas central heating with electric central heating means 664 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,440 that we've got to generate much more electricity. 665 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,280 We don't have any power stations to do that. 666 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,760 So we're building more windmills and we're going to build more 667 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,760 storage facilities, which may or may not go on fire at some 668 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,960 point. But anyway, the headline £30 669 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,680 billion. But when I went to have a look 670 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,960 at the the National Grid press release, they're talking about 671 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,240 £60 billion investment plan building now at pace for the 672 00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:56,640 future, they said. So it turns out that they 673 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,040 produce a nice infographic to tell us all about it here. 674 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,800 So National Grid is investing around £60 billion across our 675 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,040 businesses in the next five years, nearly double the 676 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,640 investment of the last five years. 677 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,560 So it's £30 billion in the UK, more than doubling of our 678 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,000 investment in the last five years. 679 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,880 They want to make sure we know that bit and around £28 billion 680 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,280 in the United States. So they have a presence over 681 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,040 there as well. And so they, they have raised £7 682 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,720 billion or they're in the process of raising seven, £7 683 00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:29,040 billion to get this thing started because this is a public 684 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,120 private partnership as we'll see in a second through a rights 685 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,240 issue. And so to do that, they are 686 00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:38,480 issuing, they say 1085 million new shares. 687 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,720 So I wonder what that did to the share price. 688 00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:46,600 Well, there you go, it's tanked yesterday when this news came 689 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,920 out of the day before. So the market's not so impressed 690 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,080 with this new share issue. But I was talking about a public 691 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,480 private partnership there and, well, here's a little bit of the 692 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,280 detail of it, or a hint at it anyway. 693 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,880 This is another National Grid press release or article. 694 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,920 Huge boost to UK supply chain as National Grid launches the Great 695 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,600 Grid Partnership with seven new industry partners all united in 696 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,200 the drive to deliver the Great Grid upgrade. 697 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,400 So you can't go wrong with the Great Grid because that's what 698 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,600 we're going to have in this country, a Great Grid. 699 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,320 I'm sure there's no cynicism amongst any of our viewers to 700 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,800 that. But there we go, £30 billion 701 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,640 being spent in the UK and lots of people on social media saying 702 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,560 that this would be taxpayer money. 703 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,720 Yes, ultimately, of course will be because these are public 704 00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,960 private partnerships. They're they're setting up here 705 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,400 and they're wanting to bring in all this private capital from 706 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,120 the so-called industry. And as we've seen through the 707 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,600 the water infrastructure situation, we all know the 708 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,560 direction of travel once these types of public private 709 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,760 partnerships are put in place. But don't worry, it gets better 710 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,600 because the City of London isn't going to be left out of this. 711 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,960 They have just held a panel discussion all about securing a 712 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,520 nature positive future, because of course, this is all about net 713 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,720 zero. And so this is finance enabling 714 00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,880 innovation. Now the financial side hasn't 715 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,200 been so impressed with the with the national grids plans, but 716 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,600 they have their own plans because this is all being run 717 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,640 through Terracotta and Sustainable Markets initiative 718 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,880 who are the strategic partner of the City of London in this 719 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:34,440 particular project. And As for the the question of 720 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,400 whether we need all this extra power generation capability or 721 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,840 not, electric cars, of course, a major driver. 722 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,440 But GB News here reporting that another car manufacturer has 723 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,000 decided to duck out of electric cars, or at least they're 724 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,440 massively reducing their production of electric cars 725 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,320 because there is no market for them. 726 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,080 Everybody has realised that they're rubbish and nobody's 727 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,360 buying them. So this is a headline here. 728 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,520 Major car brand pauses development. 729 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,040 This is Nissan in this case, amid a slump in demand for 730 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,000 drivers. There's been a slump in demand 731 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,080 for electric cars for quite a long time now. 732 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,960 This is why the second hand car market is so flat at the moment, 733 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,520 because nobody's buying new cars and it's really the the electric 734 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,280 cars being sold to to the corporate fleets, nobody in the 735 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,400 private markets really buying them at this stage. 736 00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:27,120 But the other point to make here, building back better, 737 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,400 levelling up, what does that actually mean? 738 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,880 If we have a look at global carbon emissions here, we've got 739 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,200 a bit of a graph here to show who's emitting the most. 740 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,160 We can see that that really this sort of levelling up agenda, the 741 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,200 build back better agenda, really only applies to the West. 742 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,320 If we take China, Russia and the rest of the world, so-called 743 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,600 global S into account, that is absolutely the vast majority of 744 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,440 so-called carbon emissions. But of course, levelling up 745 00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,680 isn't about increasing anything with respect to the first world. 746 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:05,640 It's about bringing our carbon emissions down to a level that's 747 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:10,480 acceptable and but other countries perhaps ignoring that 748 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:15,880 particular agenda quite wisely. But it gets better because the 749 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,120 World Bank held a live stream a couple of days ago on the issue 750 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,360 of net zero and so on. And they, of course, in this 751 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,200 case, we're talking about food production. 752 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,280 They produced a nice report on it. 753 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,320 The report is called Recipe for a Livable Planet. 754 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,240 Now, can we imagine what the suggestions are in this? 755 00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:36,840 I'm sure we can. I'm sure we know what they are, 756 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,400 but let's just have a look. First of all, we've got to 757 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,640 protect and restore nature by not doing any farming anymore. 758 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,160 So we shouldn't do farming. We should make sure we turn all 759 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,920 that back into wildflower meadows and so on. 760 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,280 We need to start eating insects, plant based meat, plant based 761 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,880 dairy, edible insect protein, and we need to make sure that we 762 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,280 are funding much more research and development in these areas. 763 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,240 And of course we've got to promote healthy diets through 764 00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:07,320 what they're describing as product reformulation. 765 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,800 They also want to bring in global nutrition targets. 766 00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:12,920 And again, this is all about levelling up. 767 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,080 So global nutrition targets doesn't mean bringing 768 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,360 nutritional targets in for people that are starving. 769 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,080 It's about bringing people that are perhaps a bit wealthier in 770 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,960 the world down to a certain acceptable level. 771 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,240 And we put that back on screen a second. 772 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,800 The third item on that list, targeted school feeding 773 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,640 programmes. It makes children sound like 774 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,600 cattle targeted school feeding programmes. 775 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,760 It's quite incredible language. But just just to finish off, if 776 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:47,280 you remember last year, King Charles went off to France, to 777 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,040 Versailles. And I just wanted to remind 778 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:54,120 everybody how the other side will live while we're all eating 779 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,000 our insects and so on. So this has been doing the 780 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,520 rounds of social media. I think I saw this on Jackie 781 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,920 Devoie's Twitter feed this morning. 782 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,840 So thanks, Jackie for this. But just to remind ourselves, 783 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,320 these are the people that are pushing the net zero agenda the 784 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,640 hardest and this is how they want to live. 785 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,440 And we should never forget that when we're talking about net 786 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,600 zero and levelling up. OK, that's enough of that now, 787 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:23,640 Ben, that this brings us on to another person. 788 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,960 That's Sasha Lord. Yeah, absolutely. 789 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,800 So there's a story that caught my eye earlier this week that 790 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,760 ties together Labour Party figures, the UK music industry, 791 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,040 central government funds relating to COVID and also the 792 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,680 money behind the emerging independent media scene in the 793 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,120 UK. It starts with this story which 794 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,840 and the question is, did Sasha Lord cheat his way to £400,000 795 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,040 worth of public money during the pandemic? 796 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,560 And the first question that you're going to ask after that 797 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:03,880 is who is Sasha Lord? Well this is Sasha Lord Shiny 798 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,720 website here with his name in big letters and he is a big time 799 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,120 event promoter. Amongst other things. 800 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,400 He runs Parklife Festival in Manchester which is a huge 801 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,320 annual gathering coming up again in June. 802 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,760 Lots of big name stars from the major labels and elsewhere. 803 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,360 He also runs The Warehouse Project which basically makes 804 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,760 him the biggest nightclub promoter in the UK. 805 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,640 They take over huge former industrial units across 806 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,400 Manchester every year and do seasons of shows towards the end 807 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,240 of the year. He's also the chairman of the 808 00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:40,240 NTIA, The Night Times Industry Association, which represents 809 00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:42,920 the interests of clubland venues, restaurants, which 810 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,240 interestingly was founded by Norris Windross and then it was 811 00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:49,400 run by Alan Miller from the Together Decoration up until 812 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,600 Alan resigned couple of years ago to run Together. 813 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,640 That's an aside back back to Sasha Lord. 814 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,600 He's also, he's a very busy man, right? 815 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,000 Very busy and prominent man, particularly around Manchester. 816 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,880 He's also the night time economy advisor to Andy Burnham. 817 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,440 All right. So he's tapped right into the 818 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,760 top levels of the Labour Party and and in fact has himself been 819 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,240 tipped as a potential mayor at some point in the future. 820 00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:17,080 And he's certainly doing a lot of the things that you'd expect 821 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,280 someone with political ambitions to be doing. 822 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,920 So there's a very, very prominent businessman, and I'm 823 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,320 sure he'd probably say a philanthropist who's been 824 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,360 accused of fraudulently obtaining public funds, right? 825 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,800 So it's quite a serious accusation here. 826 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,720 Let's go back to the article. And we can see that the mill, it 827 00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:37,560 says, has obtained evidence that a security company controlled by 828 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,080 law repeatedly lied in an application for COVID-19 829 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,520 support. And as a result of this 830 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,480 misleading application, the company received over 400,000 831 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,960 lbs of taxpayers money at the height of the pandemic. 832 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,760 And we've seen a copy of the funding application in which 833 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,240 Lord's business partner makes a series of false claims about 834 00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:58,160 what it does, calling itself the backbone of the national 835 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,320 creative events sector. Mark Turnbull, who's a former 836 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,320 director of the company's, told us the Mail that he believes 837 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,320 Lord's company is guilty of fraud and should be investigated 838 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,760 by the police. So this clearly seems like it's 839 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,240 got legs. Lord vehemently denied the 840 00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:14,480 claim. Earlier in the week, he 841 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,480 threatened to sue the mill for defamation. 842 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,480 So my learning friends placed a little statement in the Times of 843 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,560 London saying that we vehemently disagree with the article and 844 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,000 strongly dispute the accuracy, reliability and transparency of 845 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,640 its sources. The Mill, to their credit, stood 846 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,400 their ground. They've been making hay out of 847 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,280 this all week. They put out the the request for 848 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,480 further information and evidence from their community and got a 849 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,520 lot of information back. And actually it turns out just 850 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:45,200 this morning that Lord has withdrawn his threat to sue the 851 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,800 mill, he said. I've decided not to pursue legal 852 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,920 action for the time being, that he continues to reject their 853 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,000 allegations in the strongest terms. 854 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,600 So there's something going on here and we'll see how it 855 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,360 develops over the coming weeks and months, right? 856 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,640 So this is quite, quite dodgy, potentially fraudulent behaviour 857 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,320 circulating around the top levels of the Labour Party, 858 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,640 right? You know, coming up to the 859 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,840 general election, I think it's important to look at this. 860 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,880 But actually, I think it's useful to take this as an 861 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,760 opportune moment to look more broadly at Lord's role in COVID, 862 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,040 but also the way that the culture, the cultural sector, 863 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,000 the events industry was roped into helping coerce people to 864 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,160 complying with COVID restrictions, right? 865 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,680 So Lord himself was hyper critical of people breaking the 866 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:38,120 lockdown restrictions. He says here in this tweet that 867 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,960 from June 2020 that if you are one of the morons who attended 868 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,600 one of the illegal raves last night, you're a disgrace. 869 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,280 You aren't clubbers, you're just selfish idiots, right? 870 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,920 This is a man with really significant influence in the 871 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,280 music industry, particularly as it relates to younger clubbers, 872 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:54,440 right? It's really important. 873 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,160 It's about the youth in particular, right? 874 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:01,680 And, and the event industry was used to coerce the population 875 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:07,240 into accepting unprecedented lockdowns, mass vaccinations and 876 00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:11,400 most importantly, I think digital identity systems and the 877 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:17,720 normalisation of having to share private health status and data 878 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,000 in order to engage in the basic functions of society. 879 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,520 Right. So this is from the Warehouse 880 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,080 Project website. This is their COVID policy. 881 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,120 They ask all ticket holders to demonstrate their COVID-19 882 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,240 status via the COVID pass, the NHS COVID pass. 883 00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:35,880 Upon arrival, you have to have proof of a negative lateral flow 884 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,200 test. Do you remember all this rubbish 885 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,800 we had to do? Or you have to prove that you've 886 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,720 been vaccinated with both doses, with the 2nd dose being received 887 00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:47,280 at least 14 days before the date of the event, right? 888 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,560 So this is the Warehouse Project. 889 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:53,040 This is Sasha Lord's business pushing government policy, 890 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,800 insisting that people coming to these events comply with things 891 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,160 that should not be complied with. 892 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,280 We shouldn't have, should never have been asked to comply with 893 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,200 them, right? And it's not just the Warehouse 894 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,680 Project, it's the entire events industry. 895 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,120 We saw this happening all over the place. 896 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,280 And I think that the Arts Council sits right at the centre 897 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,720 of this, right? So we've talked about this 898 00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:15,400 400,000 lbs. But where did it come from? 899 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,600 It came from the Arts Council, right? 900 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,200 What is the Arts Council? It's an arm's length body link 901 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,760 directly to DCMS, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. 902 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,880 The Arts Council itself was set up in 1946, and it was initiated 903 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,840 by John Maynard Keynes, the economist, the socialist 904 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,520 economist. It's currently chaired by 905 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,240 Nicholas Sirota, who was the former director of the Tate, and 906 00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:38,400 he's also a companion of honour to the King. 907 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,840 Yeah, one of only 66 people who hold that position. 908 00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:43,840 Yeah. And Oliver Dowden, who's 909 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,680 currently the Deputy Prime Minister telling everyone that 910 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,080 we got to prep and make get ourselves ready for some 911 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,360 unspecified catastrophe that's going to come up in the next few 912 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,440 months. He was the running DCMS at the 913 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,600 time. Alright, so this is central 914 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,560 government money, taxpayer money controlled by central 915 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,120 government. It's probably more accurate way 916 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:10,200 of describing it, of a fund of £1.57 billion, but about 900 917 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,600 million of which was distributed to organisations like the 918 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,960 Warehouse Project, This fake security company that Sasha Lord 919 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,680 is, or actually it was a real security company that presented 920 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,880 it as something other than security company in order to get 921 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,720 the money. Sadler's Wells, the Roundhouse 922 00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:31,640 in Camden, Fabric Nightclub, a bunch of the kind of digital 923 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,560 ticketing platforms like Resident Advisor and Boiler 924 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:35,840 Room. Like all of these people were 925 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,160 getting money from the government ostensibly to see 926 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:45,320 them through the pandemic, but with strings attached and as a 927 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:50,480 way of using these organisations to comply with and disseminate 928 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,720 public policy in response to what we now know in hindsight 929 00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:56,840 was was a fake pandemic, Right? And none of these measures 930 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,360 should have been put in place and they certainly shouldn't 931 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:04,640 have been paid for by on the public purse and they shouldn't 932 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:09,760 have been promoted by these organisations who, who, who have 933 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,600 been in receipt of these funds. I think it's an absolute scandal 934 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,720 and we can't, can't let this just disappear down the memory 935 00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:19,080 hole as I think that a lot of people would like us to do. 936 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,320 So we'll, we'll talk about this more in the future. 937 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,000 And I'm particularly interested in seeing how Mr. Lord's case 938 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,320 develops. Just as a final point in this, I 939 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,640 want to just focus in on the on the mill actually. 940 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,120 So we talked about the case in this story. 941 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:41,120 Well, where was the story found? So it was on this news website. 942 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,840 So this is a bit of information that the mill have shared about 943 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,200 their own performance and the scale of their operations. 944 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,840 So it's an online thing. It runs on the sub Stack 945 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,320 platform. It launched in June 2020. 946 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,800 They then launched in October of that year, a new, another title 947 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,080 called the Post focused on Liverpool. 948 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,440 Then in March 21, the Tribune focused on Sheffield. 949 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,680 So these are very locally focused news operations. 950 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,640 Essentially they're to replace the local newspapers. 951 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,880 They've massively grown their audience. 952 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,120 So they're up to about 100,000 people now with about 5 to 953 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:21,040 10,000 of paid subscribers. They they, they're quite vocals. 954 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,400 They're very open about this stuff. 955 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,200 They talk about it a lot on on their social media. 956 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,080 And they've also just launched in another title called The 957 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,960 Dispatch in Birmingham in June last year. 958 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,080 So they're making a big play to become a new national news 959 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,560 network. But the question is, who's who's 960 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,040 backing this? Yeah, because they talk about 961 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,640 themselves as being independent, but they aren't really 962 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,680 independent. They've got a lot of funding 963 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,800 that's coming from pretty top level people in the traditional 964 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,440 media. I actually mentioned this back 965 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,360 in October and November, Mark Thompson, who is the current CEO 966 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,280 of CNN and was formerly the director general at the BBC 967 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,920 during the Jimmy Savile cover up, right? 968 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,360 And then he basically skipped the country, went to the New 969 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,440 York Times. He's now at CNN. 970 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,440 He's put a load of money into the mill. 971 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,480 That's quite interesting. They've also been getting some 972 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,960 very high profile recognition. Joshi Herman, the the founder of 973 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,920 the Mill was at the Truth Tellers event last week 974 00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:19,600 alongside Jeff Zucker makes amongst other people, who is The 975 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,000 Who is the former chief executive of CNN. 976 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,760 He was also at the Lords recently giving some testimony 977 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,360 to the Lords on on the media in the UK. 978 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:32,640 He's been getting picked up by William Hague in the Times as 979 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,480 well as Alan Rubbisher, sorry, Ross Bridger, the former 980 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,760 Guardian editor. So the Mill has got some big 981 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:45,320 backers, and I just wonder whether Joshi, Hermann and the 982 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,720 team there really know what they're getting themselves into. 983 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,680 So what's this space? Yes, indeed. 984 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,840 Well, sticking with the media then, let's come to Ofcom. 985 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,920 And well, we've been talking about the issue of regulators 986 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:03,360 wanting to become global regulators and Ofcom leading the 987 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,800 way with online safety and censorship on the Internet. 988 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:11,560 So they have just published this Global Online Safety Regulators 989 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,720 Map out vision to improve international coordination. 990 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,320 Now, we've talked about the fact that the global online safety 991 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,440 regulators exist, and we'll remind you who's involved with 992 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,080 it in a minute. But they've decided that they 993 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,400 want to map out the plans for this. 994 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,360 So let's just have a look and see what they're saying. 995 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,920 Though each of us has our own domestic regulatory framework, 996 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,760 we understand that neither the risks people face online nor the 997 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,440 online services they used are confined to the national or 998 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,880 continental borders. Accordingly, it is important 999 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,360 that our regulatory approaches acknowledge this. 1000 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,200 With global service providers now being required to comply 1001 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,800 with online safety legislation in multiple jurisdictions, the 1002 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,840 possibility of cross-border regulatory fragmentation is 1003 00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,360 heightened, potentially creating compliance challenges and costs 1004 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,640 for companies. And that's a real shame for the 1005 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,360 likes of Google and organisations with, you know, 1006 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,480 multiple sets of three zeros at the end of their annual income. 1007 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,040 By pursuing regulatory coherence, we can ensure that 1008 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,760 the online safety of Internet users in our respective 1009 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,880 countries does not stop at the border and that companies can 1010 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,200 benefit from compliance, economies of scale and legal 1011 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,600 certainty. So what we're seeing here is 1012 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,760 that beginning in the UK, we began this narrative that we 1013 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,480 needed to regulate the Internet, that we needed online safety, 1014 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,640 online harms protections. That was fed into various other 1015 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,840 countries, EU, the United States less so, but certainly the EU 1016 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,680 and other jurisdictions around the world who joined on the 1017 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:52,240 gravy train and managed to get their legislation in first. 1018 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,520 So, but nonetheless the Online Safety Act as you all know was 1019 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,720 eventually passed. But the but Ofcom, who is the 1020 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,720 regulator for the Internet in the UK now always had its eyes 1021 00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:08,120 set on becoming the chair or the global lead on this. 1022 00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:12,440 So this is the global online safety regulators network. 1023 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,960 These are the current members from Australia, Fiji, France, 1024 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,840 Ireland, Republic of Korea, Slovakia, South Africa and the 1025 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,920 chair, the current chair, United Kingdom. 1026 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,560 And then they have a bunch of organisations that consider 1027 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:31,240 themselves observers. So a number of global observers, 1028 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,480 there are some from Canada, some from the EU, Germany, New 1029 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:39,880 Zealand and so on. So this is a growing network of 1030 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,360 online safety regulators and others related to the regulatory 1031 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:49,920 space who all want to form a network to try to produce some 1032 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:55,000 coherent, cohesive ideas of how online regulation should work. 1033 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,320 So that the poor old multi billion pound companies like 1034 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,760 YouTube and Google and whatnot don't have to work too hard to 1035 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,040 maintain the regulatory standard, which will effectively 1036 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:12,360 mean censorship and a sort of level playing field for 1037 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,440 censorship around the world. We'll watch this space and we'll 1038 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:20,400 continue to report on it. So that more or less brings us 1039 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,760 to the end, Debbie. But you have one final thing. 1040 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,400 And thank you so much to Pip. I want one of our wonderful 1041 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,320 members who sent me this predictive programming. 1042 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,040 I guess I'm going to be talking and showing you a little bit of 1043 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:42,520 a film called Humane, although perhaps we ought to call it 1044 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,560 inhumane. And this is a trigger warning. 1045 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,520 So if you've got kids with you, although this is just a trailer, 1046 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,880 you might just want to come back and look at this little clip 1047 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,800 later. But we're talking climate 1048 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,280 crisis, we're talking environmental collapse. 1049 00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,400 We're talking about, oh, should we depopulate the population? 1050 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:05,480 And is this the new Logan's Run? Have a look at the trailer. 1051 00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,680 While we every day bear witness to the catastrophic ecological 1052 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,840 collapse that is. Plaguing our planet, we must 1053 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,960 not. Forget that this is above all a. 1054 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,040 Human. Crisis. 1055 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,280 I am in favour of this government. 1056 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,320 Doing whatever it takes to win this war. 1057 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,400 It's not a war. Wars have opposing side. 1058 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,800 Humanity is the opposing side. We are engaged in nothing. 1059 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,480 Less than a life and death struggle. 1060 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,960 Against our own extinction. What is going on? 1061 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:46,040 We've decided to enlist. You're not going to like. 1062 00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,840 This, but we're here to collect two bodies. 1063 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,320 I already told you, Don left. And that's unfortunate. 1064 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:55,640 But the. Rules are the same for 1065 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,800 everybody. Think about your lives. 1066 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:04,160 I'm sure one of you is going to realize that it's not all that 1067 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,000 great. Do you think I'm the bad guy? 1068 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,200 But I'm doing important work to save the planet. 1069 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,080 We can get through this, but we have to stick together. 1070 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,440 It's been a, it's been a hell of a night, huh? 1071 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:31,160 All I can say, Debbie, is wow. I don't know what to say either, 1072 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,400 Mike. It was released on April the 1073 01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,560 26th and there are trailers on YouTube, but I would put out a 1074 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,640 trigger warning if you happen to have vulnerable people with you 1075 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,600 or children. Yes. 1076 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,920 OK. Well, on that happy note then we 1077 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,560 need to end for today. We will be back in a few 1078 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,520 minutes. If you're UK column member for 1079 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,600 some Extra, I'm going to say thank you to Debbie and Ben for 1080 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,560 joining me today and thank you all for watching. 1081 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,200 If you're not joining us for Extra, please consider joining 1082 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,760 the UK column as a member and then you can join us for extra. 1083 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,160 But if you're not, have a great weekend. 1084 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,560 We'll see you on Monday at 1:00 PM as usual. 1085 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:07,680 See you then. Bye bye.
