In this episode of Paul English Live, we delve into the significance of VE Day, marking 80 years since the end of World War II in Europe. The discussion reflects on the historical context and the deception faced by those who fought, questioning what was truly won. The conversation also touches on the current state of Britain, drawing parallels between past and present challenges, and the erosion of national identity and values over the decades. The episode features a poignant speech by Paul, reflecting on the changes in Britain since the war, and the ongoing impact of global financial systems on national sovereignty.
Additionally, the episode takes a lighter turn with a discussion on classic films and iconic actors, exploring the cultural impact of cinema from the past. The conversation includes reflections on the influence of media and entertainment on society, and the importance of preserving cultural heritage amidst modern challenges. The episode concludes with a call for localism as a response to globalism, emphasizing the need for community and connection in the face of widespread societal changes.

Well, hi, everyone. It's, Thursday, May 2025. Oh, the memory is working brilliantly today. This is Paul English live, episodes, always an episode, 86. Welcome to the show. And it's a bit of a date today. I've got lucky with the dates. Again, it's the May 8, as I just said. And, oh, you've probably already worked it all out if you looked at the thing for the show, but that's what we're gonna be covering today. We're gonna be looking at events from eighty years ago exactly, and what's been happening for the last eighty years with jolly old England and Blighty and Britain and all that nonsense. Yeah. Hi everyone. Welcome back. Hope you've been having a good week.
Here we are Paul English Live. We're going out on WBN three twenty four. We're going out on radiosoapbox.com. We're going out on Rumble. We're going out on YouTube. We're probably going out on a few other places. We're going out on Global Voice Network. We're going out on Eurofolk Radio. Oh, I'm like a radio tart. We can't get on enough platforms basically but, I hope you've all had a jolly good week. Mine's been pretty good. Weather's been great. Won't talk about the weather too much today. Well actually that's probably a lie. We'll always get around to the weather at some point or another during the show. I mean, why not? It's always a good staple diet for conversation. But, those of you that might have seen the image for today's show or even been living in England or Britain for the past week will be aware that today, the May 8, exactly to this day, is eighty years ago when VE Day was announced. And, of course, it sounds a bit like a sort of skin complaint or a disease, but what VE Day stands for, as many people know, is Victory in Europe Day.
And so it was on this very day all that time ago that, Winston Churchill made a speech, and I'm going to play it for you right at the beginning of the show as in like right now. So this is what went out on the air, in jolly old Britain this day exactly eighty years ago today.
[00:04:46] Unknown:
This is London. The prime minister, the right honorable Winston Churchill. Yesterday morning at 02:41AM at General Eisenhower's headquarters, general Jodl, the representative of the German high command, and a grand admiral Doenitz, the designated head of the German state, signed the act of unconditional surrender of all German land, sea, and air forces in Europe to the Allied Expedition Reporting and simultaneously to the Soviet high command. Hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight tonight, Tuesday, May. But in the interest of saving lives, the ceasefire began yesterday to be sounded along all the front.
And, our dear Channel Islands are also to be freed today. The German war is therefore at an end. After years of intense preparation, Germany hurled herself on Poland at the September 1939. And in pursuance of our guarantee to Poland and in common with the French Republic, Great Britain, the British Empire, and Commonwealth of Nations declared war upon this foul aggression. After gallant France had been struck down, we from this island and from our United Empire maintained the struggle single handed for a whole year until we were joined by the military might of Soviet Russia and later by the overwhelming power and resources of The United States Of America.
Finally, almost the whole world was combined against the evil doers who are now frustrated before it. Our gratitude to our splendid allies goes forth from all our heart in this island and throughout the British Empire. We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, but let us not forget for a moment the toils and efforts that lie ahead. Japan remains unsubdued. We must now devote all our strength and resources to the completion of our task both at home and abroad. Advance Britannia. Long live the cause of freedom. God save the king.
[00:08:05] Unknown:
So that was, Winston Churchill, lo, those many years ago. And I'll love welcome to the show whilst I fiddle around with some untypical technical challenges in the background, which we'll get to momentarily. But, Patrick, Paul, and Eric, welcome to the show. How are you doing on this fine Thursday evening for us here in The UK? And I I'm assuming fine Thursday afternoon really for you guys over there in The States.
[00:08:32] Unknown:
I'm just ducking. Yeah.
[00:08:34] Unknown:
Are you ducky? I'm ducky. Yeah. You're ducky. Well, I'd I'd just like to let you all know that for whatever reason, Rumble is deciding to, not allow us to stream today. I have no idea why. It's very very strange what's taking place. It says that we're connected again just like we were the other week. We're going out live on YouTube, we're going out on WBN three two four, which is our main radio platform, platform and we're going out in all those other places. But the main one for the chat, which of course is Rumble, is proving for some bizarre and strange and utterly irritating reason to, to kick us off. Well, YouTube is going fine so hats off to YouTube. Thanks very much. I hate talking about this stuff but it just gets my goat when it happens. So just to let you know, the, the rumble site's been bombed by the Luftwaffe or something again because we can't seem to get through at the moment. So I have no idea what's going on. There's literally no signal there and, I can't even apologize to the people because they can't even turn up and listen to what we're doing, which is, a bit weird.
So, I have no idea what to say. I guess this is, what you call a bit of a technical disaster right now. Very odd indeed, even though everything shows as go. Anyway, welcome to the yeah. It's what normally
[00:09:48] Unknown:
rumbles us sometimes. It's it's just Yeah. We I've you wouldn't believe how many times I've been kicked off of, Eric's show, where it's just, like, at least once or twice during the show, it'll kick kick you off, and then Eric gets booted out even, and he's the host of the show. It's I I don't know what's going on. You're talking you're talking there about rumble studio. I'm not even using that.
[00:10:12] Unknown:
We've got every green light going right now showing that we're connected to everything, and it doesn't make any sense to me at all. Well, what is We're fully connected to Rumble.
[00:10:21] Unknown:
Very often. I remember Jim Rizzoli used to have a show on there, and they booted him off early on. So I I have little hope for Rumble, personally,
[00:10:31] Unknown:
but that's Well, I I it's beginning to look that way. I may well have it's a bit of a pity, of course, because we built up the strongest following on Rumble, but such is the way of the Internet. So hopefully, people will drift on over to YouTube. It's unlikely, so we've got a very small audience at the moment, certainly, on the video platform. Can you rename the title so people that show up to it, they can they can know to show up to YouTube? Well, if you can, I don't know? There's not even a live chat you see currently on Rumble because it's just not working.
[00:10:58] Unknown:
If you change the title of the video, perhaps they'll they'll get the clue.
[00:11:04] Unknown:
Oh, you're quite clever. Fucking. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's fair. What what a brilliant idea, Patrick. Now look, if you, boys and girls can talk amongst yourselves for a couple of seconds while I fumble around like a maniac, and my apologies to everybody, we had this about two or three weeks ago, but it's completely out of our control. It happens. It's Internet streaming. It shouldn't really happen, though. We've been so solid on Rumble. But there we go. I'll be back with you momentarily. I'm just gonna mute myself so you could you guys just take over the show. Go and have fun. Alright. Sounds good. So Paul,
[00:11:35] Unknown:
we got a new pope here. He's American. What do you think? He's got perfect English. Sounds just like you and me.
[00:11:43] Unknown:
I don't I don't know. I I I hadn't heard anything about it. I've I've had back to back shows all day today.
[00:11:53] Unknown:
Yeah. He's going his name was, cardinal Robert Prevost from Chicago, and he chose the name pope Leo the fourteenth. Good. And the last Pope Leo the thirteenth was at the turn of the century '18 I think he died around '8 1905. So quite interesting that, we have an American pope. And then he he was born in Chicago and his diocese well, I think he ended up studying in Pennsylvania, and then he went down he he must be fluent in Spanish too, because he ended up down in Peru for most of his career as a as a cleric, and then assigned to the Vatican as a cardinal.
I don't know very much about him. He's kind of, in the same line as Pope Francis was, more of a, what you call a progressive. I don't hold much hope for him, you know, seeing the light of things like the the vaccine, but then again, you never know what people learn in that time, you know, since then. But, that that's my biggest concern was he went went right for the vaccine. Go ahead. Who do you think was the best pope? Who do I think was the best pope out of all of them? Yeah. Saint Peter. But, besides that, in recent times, in recent times, there was Saint Pius the tenth, just before, he died just before World War I.
And he, he had the best policy, that they they would send ambassadors to the Vatican from these different countries, and he'd say, he'd turn them away. He'd be like, you know, we don't, you know, you don't represent, or they're they represent their whatever interest that they have, we have our own interest. And he also was the one that told off Theodore Herzl when he came to ask for support from him to create the state of Israel, he told him to go away, basically. He said, we can't stop you. Really? We can't stop you from doing it, but, we're not gonna bless it.
[00:14:08] Unknown:
What about pope Pius? Is it it was Pius. Was it during World War Two? Pius the
[00:14:15] Unknown:
Pius the twelfth. Yeah. Yeah. He was in It's a very difficult position. Very Yeah. He was. He was the he was what you you would call the, nuncio to Germany. And when he went to Bavaria, he realized that all of these, the leaders in Bavaria of the German government there were all Eastern European Jews and gave a report back that that was what had taken place. They were revolutionaries. The Bolsheviks had basically taken over Germany at the time, and he was honest about it. And he, as as a consequence, I don't think they liked him very much. And you you ask a lot of people, like, for instance, David Koetzer is a modern writer who's written about it. He's got a new book called Pope at War, which is about Pope Pius the twelfth and it doesn't paint him in a very good light. And they've got other people, I forget who it was, it might, wrote a book called the most well known one was called Hitler's Pope about Pope Pius the twelfth.
Even though he was the one that broke ranks, when Hitler started the the whole eugenics program, reprimanded them and broke ties. So it's, I wouldn't consider him sympathetic to the, to Hitler. But at the same time, he he also knew what was going on in Germany at the time because he had been the nuncio to to Germany at the time. So he had a lot of support in Germany as a consequence from the clerics there. What about the
[00:15:55] Unknown:
Polish one in the was it eighties, nineties? Huetia? Huetia.
[00:16:01] Unknown:
Pope John Paul the second. That's the one. He he was a bit of a film star type, wasn't he? He he was Yeah. Well, it was odd because he was the first in a a long time not to have been an Italian, because typically the Bishop of Rome is an Italian because it's, you know, it's Italy. And you're the Bishop of Rome before you're the, you know, you're the the the pope. The pope has like three roles. He's the Bishop of Rome, the Patriarch of the West, and Pope of the Universal Church. So, he he was the first one outside of Italy in a long time. And he I you know what?
There's kind of mixed signals, but I I had a kind of a respect for him because I'd I'd seen him a couple times at two gatherings of and each time that was like millions of people. One was in Paris, and it was for something called World Youth Day. And that was back in '96, I wanna say, or '97. And then, I guess, I'm again in Toronto. I think it was 02/2001. It was it was after it was might have been 02/2002 because it was after September 11. Because I remember going through security, yet it was just after they had instituted that you had to have a passport in order to go to Canada.
Whereas previous to that, all you needed was some sort of, like, driver's license to get in. And even then, you really didn't have to have one if you were, you know, a certain age. Mhmm. But It's a bit like, us going to Southern Ireland.
[00:17:36] Unknown:
I'm not sure it's the same now, but you used to just be able to just walk over the border that didn't even look at your passport. You just walked in. Yeah. We used to go up there fishing.
[00:17:45] Unknown:
And a lot a lot of my uncles, we stopped going up there after that because a lot of my uncles had they had DWIs. And they made a a rule that people with DWIs weren't allowed into Canada. So DWIs. What was I, though? Driving while intoxicated.
[00:18:04] Unknown:
Oh, shit. Pissed in other words.
[00:18:10] Unknown:
Yeah. Good grief. Well, it wasn't just DWIs. It was also any felony felony arrest and conviction that would keep you out of Canada.
[00:18:21] Unknown:
Yeah. Trying to keep the package. And after so many DWIs, I think it's a felony. Oh, yeah. DWI itself is
[00:18:30] Unknown:
it's gotta be something like that. Well, I think that was your first conviction for DWI or DUI. Yeah.
[00:18:37] Unknown:
I'm sure I'm sure the one my uncle said multiple, so
[00:18:41] Unknown:
I don't
[00:18:42] Unknown:
it was a while ago, but it was, you know, I used to love going up there fishing and having them all around, and and then they did that, you know, really threw a wet blanket on things. This this whole terrorism stuff.
[00:18:55] Unknown:
Oh, it's it's it's it's a nonsense really because, you know, I think it was we're going to use concocted to stop people travelling. That's all it is. Oh, like COVID.
[00:19:07] Unknown:
Yeah. I think look at all look at all the restrictions that came in with COVID.
[00:19:13] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't really need to be here, do I?
[00:19:17] Unknown:
No. No. Of course you do. Okay, Paul. Yeah. I
[00:19:21] Unknown:
mean, I don't think I'm taking this rather calmly. I've put I put quite a bit of time into preparing today's show, and it's always the way, isn't it? Everything sort of blows up in your face at the last minute. Well, not always. But, anyway,
[00:19:33] Unknown:
it wasn't a theme to this.
[00:19:35] Unknown:
As No. No. Rumble's dead. Rumble's died. It's good. I think I think what we will do, sorry to fill the radio airwaves with all this drivel as well. You're probably expecting to hear some reasonable sensible discussion. We'll get around to that momentarily, I think. But, I think what we're gonna have to do just in by way of technical information from this is tragically, I'm probably gonna have to let go of rumble. It's a bit irritating, frankly. It's been a very slow build up of a following there. We'll still keep pounding away with it, but there've been too many problems recently. I never had them before. I think we had one about two or three weeks back, didn't we? Which was very strange and weird. And this is just all the signals at this end now that we're going through, so there's nothing that looks different at this end at all.
But clearly, Rumble decided they don't like the cut of my jib. Actually, I'm not gonna get paranoid about it. I actually think that their systems just sometimes fall over. It's probably that more than anything else. I don't think there's the capacity to, apart from which we're such nice people who would want to get rid of us off air and stuff. So, the irony of having to use YouTube as you back up. It's just hilarious. I'm having a wry smile here thinking about it. So thanks, YouTube. I don't know what to say. A few people have made it over here to YouTube. I guess there won't be as many as usual because some people, I I guess it might, they lose patience we're not there so bugger it and I do understand that. But you're listening on the radio and ever everywhere else. I I think we've been pretty clean from the get go even though it's been a little bit tedious, you having to listen to us bang on about this stuff. Anyway, just to pull the topic for now, we can we can do some more Pope chat later on.
Although I never got chance to take my you see, now that they've picked one, I had this, I had this tongue twister lined up for popes, didn't I? I think I gave it to you. Yeah. You did. It was, how many popes can the pope pickers pick if a pope pickers pick a pucker pope? I think that's quite good really, but of course it's all lost in the mists of time now because they've picked one. So you can't say by the way, I wanted to ask you American gents, do you have the word pucker out there, p u k k a? Is it part of your lexicon?
[00:21:46] Unknown:
Pucker. You know what I mean? Kiss?
[00:21:49] Unknown:
No. That's a different one. That's p u c k e r. What was it then then? How do you p u k k a.
[00:21:56] Unknown:
K k pucker.
[00:21:57] Unknown:
Yeah. You could, in fact, have a pucker pucker.
[00:22:01] Unknown:
Couldn't you, Eric? A pucker pucker.
[00:22:04] Unknown:
You could. Yes. Yeah. Well, yeah, you can. You can have a you can say, oh, she's got a pucker pucker. You can have a pucker pucker, couldn't you? So so Mhmm. Yeah. So I I know. It's fun though, isn't it? See see what you can do with the old English language. It's quite interesting.
[00:22:19] Unknown:
It's it's rather spiffing, isn't it? Very spiffing. I think this this this is sharp. I think it's spiffing, isn't it? I think it's spiffing. I think it's well-to-do and Jollybeezom.
[00:22:29] Unknown:
It's jollybeezom. It is. It's jollybeezom, chaps. It's really it's really topo and all that kind of stuff. So can we just to get back to this word because I can hear Paul and Patrick groaning under the weight of not knowing quite what on earth we're talking about. So pucker, p u say c k e r, is obviously when you do a, you know, a smearoo pop toot, when you pucker up for a kiss, you know, with your granny or maybe something slightly more interesting, but often with your granny. Give us a kiss, love, and all that kind of stuff. So that's when you give someone a nice pucker. But pucker, p u k k a, means very, very good, genuine, authentic, really, really top class thing.
So you can say about anything, like, these are really pucker fish and chips, meaning that they're really great. That's what it means. So you can have a pucker pucker, you see. And,
[00:23:19] Unknown:
I'm still trying to cleanse my my eyeballs of the mental image of TopHo. TopHo. I'm sure that has that has
[00:23:31] Unknown:
Yes. Yes. It doesn't mean the same in American, does it? No. Filthy and foul and vile and vile and vulgar and of of a street level disgusting drug taking sort of lutely. Do that sort of thing. No. We don't do that thing over here. No. We're top ho is top ho, Bertie, means everything's good. It's going well. That's what it means, isn't it, basically?
[00:23:51] Unknown:
That that's right. Yes. And what about wizard prang? That was that was one my dad had. Wizard. It is. Jolly wizard, isn't it? It's wizard prang. That was an RAF one.
[00:24:00] Unknown:
Yes. Yeah. I I I'd rather be a very good crash, wouldn't it? A wizard prang is a very good crash. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Prang is when you prang something.
[00:24:10] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. And what are we gonna get into? Clanger. Dropping a clanger. Do you know where that came from? A clanger?
[00:24:17] Unknown:
Dropping a clanger.
[00:24:18] Unknown:
Yeah. I had one of those. I do. I do know where go on. You tell tell everybody. I had one of those coming out of my nose the other day.
[00:24:24] Unknown:
It doesn't. Yeah.
[00:24:26] Unknown:
It doesn't. Tell Eric, I want to know. I'm keen. Go on. Give me your airships. What I what I heard was that, when they were building the airships,
[00:24:34] Unknown:
if they dropped a spanner, it go clang clang clang clang clang clang all the way down to the bottom of the, workshop through all this rigging and all that. So that's where they called it dropping a clanger because when the spanner you didn't know what damage it the spanner was gonna do, and it's dropped. So that's where I I heard that it came from.
[00:24:53] Unknown:
Right. Right. The other one is Well, that's okay. But I'm gonna sit back and relax. I'll tell you where what a clang dropping a clanger comes from. Are you ready? I I sound awfully cocky when I say this. This is to do with Isaac Newton. Okay? So and it's to do with money. And it's to do with the Royal Mint. So, Newton being quite bright as everybody knows, he was a pretty sharp lad. The Royal Mint were having a problem because, people were counterfeiting the coins. They were making them out of base metals and all this kind of stuff. Right? And mimicking the shapes of pennies or probably shillings, I guess, and cutting them in tin or whatever they were doing, but it was a bit of a problem.
And so they called on, Newton. They said, Isaac. Yes? You know, know, he's a bit busy working out Mathematica Principia or whatever he was doing or calculus or something, you know, just to keep himself busy. They said, can you just break off from that a bit? We've got a problem with the coinage of the realm. He said, not sure. So what he did was he redesigned all the coins, in such a way that if you took sort of like, I don't know, 10, say they were pennies, but any of the coins would work in this way and they were redesigned so that when you drop them they would as each penny dropped on top of the previous one on the table, as the metal hit the metal it would make a clang, make a sound, the chink sound. But anybody dropping a counterfeit one, it made a clang And that's called dropping a clanger. In other words, you're out to deceive me by passing counterfeit coins.
I think mine wins. I'm sorry. I'm just biased. Wow. Yeah.
[00:26:31] Unknown:
I think that sounds more accurate than my one. I liked yours. I just thought you made it up on the stove at the moment. I thought it was pretty good. No. No. The one I heard or the other one is going for a Burton, which is very English. I don't think you have that in America. It's gone for a Burton. And up the one that I I where I heard it came from was in the nineteen thirties when the RAF were looking at, deciphering and intelligence work. A lot of the, people that worked on this very high stressed project, started to go a bit doolally.
And the RAF psychiatrist was over the top of a Burton's tailoring shop. So when someone was missing, they say, well, where's he gone? Instead of saying, oh, he's gone he's gone a bit doolally and, you know, we, he's gone he's gone to a psychiatrist. They say, oh, he's gone for a Burton. And that's a polite way of saying someone's got a bit mental, gone for a Burton. Mhmm. That's what I heard. I don't know how true it is, but that's the way I heard it. So to be clear, Eric, a Burton is a tailor
[00:27:32] Unknown:
shop. Yep. A tailor shop. That's right. Burton Tailoring. We had Burton's over here until was it about forty years ago when they went busting? No. They were they they were still around in the seventies when I were allowed. Up north. Hang on. I think that still might be around today. I think they're around today, actually, Burton's. Going for a Burton suit. That's what it was. I thought I thought it had something to do. I'm going for a Burton, though, ended up becoming having an accident. Oh, it's about to fall apart, wasn't it? That's right. That's right. And, also, they were the first
[00:27:58] Unknown:
people to do, off the peg suits, I believe. Because once upon a time, we had to have a suit made to measure, but with burdens, you could go in, tell them your size, and they get it off off off a coat hanger. So it it wasn't made to measure. It was just standard sizes. I think they were the first to do it. I might be wrong, but I think they were the first.
[00:28:16] Unknown:
Well, shout out to everybody in YouTube. Oh, I'm getting it's difficult saying that. Who's found their way over who's found their way over here? I'm gonna have to get a shake on with our own video platform because it's all just too embarrassing. My street cred is just disappearing rapidly. What on earth is going on? Yeah. Aunt Sally's made a way over. She says, I always thought it was something to do with Liz Taylor and Richard Burton being a drunkard. Going going for it. I don't know. I quite like that, but I we've gotta stitch that one a bit better better, I would have thought. Going for a Burton. Yeah. I thought it was to do with the suits myself. Anyway, anybody interested in getting back to the matter at hand?
[00:28:56] Unknown:
Yes. The Pope. Yes. The Popage.
[00:29:00] Unknown:
I'm Oh, you you moved it on to Popage. This is all supposed to be about the May 8. Oh, Alright. Never mind.
[00:29:07] Unknown:
No. We can get back to popery. I don't mind. Hey. No. I'm just I'm just glad that if if they were gonna pick a pope from Chicago, they did not pick a black pope because there there were a couple He was No. Considering. Southside.
[00:29:22] Unknown:
Yes. Yes. He was from the South Side. Okay. But Which is there isn't a general gonna pick a pope.
[00:29:28] Unknown:
They were they were considering picking a black pope, which I firmly believed would have been their way of muddling the difference between, like, the white pope and the black pope because there are supposed to be actually three of them, a white pope, a black pope, and a gray pope. And they do different things, nefarious in nature and this, that, and the other thing. So I'm glad they did not do that for the purposes of muddying up the term black pope.
[00:29:56] Unknown:
I'm glad they didn't. Were there any were there any Eskimo candidates? That's what I wanna know. I always think those poor guys are left out. That would have been the first Eskimo. Pope is a Jesuit. The head of the Jesuits is called the black pope. So there there is a term for it. The first black pope is Saint Ignatius. Yeah.
[00:30:13] Unknown:
Back back in the middle of the time. Loyola of Cordoba. Was it Cordoba? I can't remember. There were no fish potential popes,
[00:30:23] Unknown:
because that would have been a fish pope or a seal pope if it was Eskimo. Same.
[00:30:31] Unknown:
Shall I shall I try to shift this into a serious space? What do you think? Or is it is it just a losing cause? I don't know. Maybe it is. Well
[00:30:39] Unknown:
Well, it may have been a losing cause, but it's been a lot of fun.
[00:30:44] Unknown:
It it has. It's been it's tremendous. I I don't really care about what I've prepared now for the show. I'm just sat here sucking on nicotine lozenges and sort of going, this is not too bad really. I mean, you know, we've got no audience. All the technical things have fallen down. Maybe it's the best show we're ever gonna do. Who knows? Yeah. No. Look. This eighth of Maillard, over here on Monday, which was a bank holiday Monday, it's always struck me as being rather odd that all that holidays are lined up with banks for some reason. You know, it's, I mean, we do need a holiday from the banking system, like, permanently, like, forever and ever and ever. Amen. But they get all these I it must have been to do something in the past counting all those clangers, I guess, and rooting out all the counterfeit coins. They had to have a day off every now and again. I don't know quite what the reason for it is. Anyway, there was one this Monday just gone and there's another one coming up. They seem to come in twos and threes at this time of the year. They're all over the place but, in jolly old London, London, I think, although I didn't catch much of it but I've heard lots of sort of comments, London momentarily looked and felt like London is supposed to look and feel, I believe. I don't know if anybody caught this, but they had the RAF fly by with some red arrows and they probably flew a Spitfire over and that Lancaster bomber stuff. And it's to do with that speech that I just played.
Well, it's to do with the date actually, of course. It's to do with the fact that eighty years ago today, literally, the German high command, signed an unconditional surrender. I think it was in Eisenhower's lobby or something or wherever he was staying. It was in this mansion that he was in and, it all got sorted out and that's why we played Churchill's speech at the beginning. Now what I've drafted up here is a response to that speech and I was I was in the process of trying to record it desperately last minute just before the show started and Patrick had other ideas. It's very unfair what I've just said. It's not Patrick's fault at all, but I took a phone call. It wrecked the recording.
So I would have to read this out live. Now I've timed it. I don't know whether you've got the patience to listen to it. It's three hours and forty two minutes. No, it's it's nine minutes long. It's about eight or nine minutes and I'm I'm suspect I should probably read it because if I don't read it now it's really inappropriate any other time. So if you've got eight or nine minutes and you're sitting comfortably, you've got your cocoa at home if you're in The UK, or you're opening a beer in the middle of the afternoon if you're in America, or what you do at this time of day, I don't quite know. This is a response to that speech by Churchill, because let me just read the response. Hang on. I've just got to take my Yeah. Let's hear it. Let's hear it, Paul. Are you ready? Yeah. Mhmm.
So I'm gonna leave you I'm not gonna mute you so you can blurt out or something if you want to but it doesn't really matter because there's not a proper recording. I meant to record this anyway. So look, we just have to assume you've just heard that Churchill speech now because things have gone slightly pear shaped technically with the whole thing but never mind. Isn't this fun? So here we go. There now follows a communication by the political party that does not exist but that you may wish did once you have heard what it has to say. Hello.
You've just heard a speech that Winston Churchill, the then prime minister of Britain, gave to the nation on Tuesday, May 1945, exactly eighty years ago to this very day. The speech has been aired on the BBC and other mainstream media outlets several times over this past week, and most people in these islands will, understandably, think it a good speech, an accurate speech, and one in which mister Churchill broadly spoke the truth about that conflict. The end of a war is as good a thing as the start of it is bad, And it is heartening to see that we can still come together as a nation in 02/2025 to pay respect to those who fought in that war and played their role in bringing it to an end.
They did their duty and did it well, for they were fighting for what they thought at the time was the defense of this nation and of their way of life and a good future for their loved ones and families. But tragically, all of them were deceived. The signs of this deception are all around us right now. To suggest that the speech of missus Churchill was more than economical with the truth, particularly at this time when the courage of our men and women is being rightly honored, may be considered as churlish, dishonorable, traitorous, even foul mannered.
Yet if we are to understand what has happened to our nation in these past eighty years, we must not flinch from tough questions and the unpalatable truths that come with them. A caller into a recent radio show covering VE Day suggested that many of those who fought for this country would no longer recognize it as their cherished home. That if they knew how this land would look today, they would not have defended it at all. When you look around this nation today, you may come to agree with what that caller said. This leads us to ask the question, if true that Britain won World War two, what exactly did we win?
Here are some of the hallmarks of our nation as it looks today, our winnings as it were. The vast majority of young couples cannot afford to buy a new home and therefore are unable to raise families in a healthy way, and because of this birth rates are falling. Our school system has become a haven for woke so called progressive cultural Marxists who masquerade as teachers whilst in truth they warp the hearts and minds of our greatest treasure, our children. Immigrants, either legal or illegal, pour into the nation, not of their own ability, but because the path has been built for them by a complicit and craven political class that cares little for the well-being of the English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish whose home this is.
All of this project being done without the consent of the British people at any time. Taxes abound hang on. I'm just gonna stop that. Sorry to lose the moment. Taxes abound over 400 at the last count along with foreign ownership of utility companies and a private central bank that controls the government whichever party is in. Muslims have built mosques that litter our towns and cities, inexplicably have been given the vote which warps the political culture and in so doing excuse me. But tricky, you see. Let me just get to this. Listen. And in so doing have been elected as so called mayors all without our consent.
Rape gangs stalk the land unopposed by a supine political class that dare not talk of it, and has allowed itself to become a puppet of globalist money powers and works for them at our expense. Television advertising overwhelmingly features mixed race couples promoting race mixing, which will, in due course, breeders out of existence. A police force, now in name only, more concerned with hurty words and indifferent to protecting young girls. Christian priests being arrested for reading from the Bible in public. A rudderless and clueless Church of England that fails to follow the law of its own book, the pouring out of money to supposedly help other less fortunate people in other parts of the world whilst our own military veterans sleep rough in doorways, an errant press where even the pretense of journalistic integrity is rightly mocked, a BBC that is but a mouthpiece for the government and a haven for wokeist claptrap of every hue, and Ofcom, the Office of Communications increasing their Internet censorship under the cover of protecting children whereas its main aim is to protect the spread of independent thought harmful to the diseased ideology of those who temporarily appear to hold the reins of power over us, and so on.
These are but some of the symptoms of the ill health of our nation at this time and no doubt you can think of many more to add to that miserable list. Those are the fruits of our so called victory in Europe. The European nations are also suffering from the same or similar issues, and all in great part share the same root cause, which is that European Christendom as a whole lost World War two, such that communism moved into Central Europe where the disease spread into such organizations as the European Union and is ongoing, now running under the tag of globalism.
The defeat and destruction of Germany in World War two made all this possible, for Germany stood as a natural barrier and defense against Russia, which had at that time succumbed to the disease of communism. Tragically, a man who played a huge role in bringing this all about, maybe the leading role, was Winston Churchill. According to the noted historian and likely the world's most knowledgeable man with regards period of history, David Irving, the military records at Kew Gardens hold within them no less than 37 letters sent by the German high command requesting peace between our nations.
Germany had no intention nor did it make any sense either militarily or economically for them to fight yet another war with Britain, World War One and its closure in 1918 been fresh in the memory of Germans and Britons alike. All of these letters were intercepted by Churchill's agents, and knowledge of them withheld from the British public. To this day, most of the public remain unaware of these peace offers. The flight of Rudolf Hess to Scotland early in the war reinforces this desire by Germany for peace. On October 1946, '5 days before he committed suicide, Hermann Goering from his cell at Nuremberg in a letter written directly to Churchill wrote as follows.
I state here with great emphasis as one of the highest military, political, and economic leaders of the great German Empire the following. This war could not be avoided because the politics of Great Britain, under the influence of your person and of your friends of like opinions in all fields, persisted constantly to hinder the life interests and the most natural development of the German people, and filled with the senile ambition to uphold the British hegemony, preferred the second World War to an understanding as we, on our side, had tried time and again to bring about, beneficial to both of the most prominent nations of Europe.
For the Britons to fix tomorrow, we need to know the truth of what happened yesterday. In conclusion, we pay our respects to all of those who were involved in that war which ended eighty years ago this very day. Please look out for more communications from the political party that does not exist, but that you may wish did given what it has to say. So little errors aside, that was it really. Nice. Welcome to welcome to Happy Britain.
[00:42:31] Unknown:
Excellent. But the thing is there's two words they keep banding around, and that is freedom and hate. And they've used those two words time and time again. So anything to do with Germany during World War two was to do with hate, and everything that the allies were fighting for was to do with freedom. And it's very simple words, but they're very powerful propaganda words. And what irritates me is the propaganda of World War two is still believed today, because they just keep refurbishing it over and over and over again. I just wonder what your thoughts are on that.
[00:43:22] Unknown:
Well, they do. I was struck by that speech from Churchill about, it's very brief and, in seeing the clips I'm actually thrilled for the people at the time. I can understand their relief at the whole of this. It's just a ridiculous thing. But, of course, the the hidden truth of it is, particularly the words coming out of his mouth, he was one of the primary instruments for bringing it about. Now there are people that will dispute that and they'll dispute it long and hard and they'll muster all sorts of evidence to say that this is the most amazing thing. And I've heard thing, you know, people regularly talking on the TV over this past week, about this, and saying that it's really good because it saved and protected England.
But I just went through a list of what it saved and protected us for. We've ended up in a situation that is frankly, appalling. We're gonna run out of words to describe it. We have reaped what that man and the people he worked for sowed on our behalf without our consent. And it's worth remind you know, reminding everyone that I've said this before. In the letters column of the times during the mid to late thirties, the overriding sentiment was no war with Germany, and they wanted no war with us. Yet this has never ever been said at all much on BBC TV, certainly not enough for it to go in. So not not people just don't they do not know, you know. They don't know the the strong attempts taken by the Germans to avoid this war at all costs.
The root of it, of course, I would suggest is to do with the commercial interests of the city of London. All wars are bankers' wars and when they run out of ideas, they start a war. And, they didn't know what to do. I think this is a great part of it. I mean, this is my particular shtick as people know. They didn't know what to do with the economic power that Germany had acquired so rapidly by pulling itself away from the world financial system, which was their system, and which was one of the reasons why they didn't like Germany in the first place. It's an absolute, you know, it's a ridiculous and terrible state of affairs, and I'm sure most Britons hear hearing this will you know, normal people would reject it to start off with. I completely understand that, but it's because they don't have a knowledge of, as we've mentioned here on many occasions, the documents that are available or used to be on the Internet. I see they're slowly but surely disappearing, so hurry up everyone and capture them up because we're gonna have to build our own sort of archives with this stuff, to give them a different view. And this is not to say that the Germans were all good and the British were all bad. This is all nonsense and comic book stuff anyway. What it's really to say is that the war was wholly avoidable. It was completely unnecessary.
It wrecked Europe. It brought communism right into the middle of Europe, where it's just stated and morphed into this European Union. And now you've got this complete wokest nonsense going on because people have lost connection with who we really are, which is, you know, as we've been talking about or at least I've been mentioning over the last few weeks here as a theme, Christendom, which I think is a wonderful word. I'm I'm in love with this word because it's it unifies what needs to be unified, which is us as a race of European people wherever we may be in the world. And I think, it's very important. So, you know, it's it just destroyed all that. And Churchill was he was really after you know, that that quote that we've mentioned here from Irving that he it's like, if I go back and we don't have a war, what am I going to do? These are Churchill thoughts. What's gonna become of me?
That's all he was thinking about. What's gonna become of me? You know? And he didn't care. I mean, that's all I can say. I just look at the fruits of his supposed work and I'm going, wow. I'm glad that's not on my CV.
[00:47:04] Unknown:
Paul, I I I was looking through my archives here. Yeah. I have a speech that Winston Churchill gave at the VE Day celebrations at the Ministry of Health building in, 1945 on May. I'll send it over to you or I can play it. It's, two minutes fifty eight seconds.
[00:47:22] Unknown:
It might be the one that I played right at the beginning of the show. It might be. It might be the same speech. Yeah. I don't know how busy he was because that is the same day. So, I mean, he even talked in that introductory bit about Germany's unprovoked aggression or some towards Poland. This is a complete pack of lies. It's nonsense. It wasn't unprovoked. I mean, he might not have used the word unprovoked, so, maybe I'm taking, a sign of liberal view with that. But, people are not aware of the slaughter of German farmers in that part of the world, which caused them. They were compelled to go in there to defend the German people that were being nailed to barn doors and sawn in half. This is grotesque, gruesome stuff, but it's what was taking place. It was completely out of order. It's a complete nuthouse.
What words am I supposed to use to describe behavior like that? It's just foul. That's what was taking place, you know. So I just wanna,
[00:48:15] Unknown:
let you know that I missed the middle of your speech. I got interrupted. A friend of mine from South South Africa called me.
[00:48:23] Unknown:
It was the best bit, Patrick. You missed the best bit. I know. I'm sorry about that. And I've got a lot of comments. To say hello to everybody, by the way. That's cool. Hi. Patrick's friend from South Africa. It's great that you say hello. It's wonderful. Yeah. Pretty good.
[00:48:38] Unknown:
I'd like to say, though, Paul, that was a fantastic speech that you gave. Seriously, you spent a long time thinking about that. I could tell that. It was really you know, was it the party that could never be elected? Yes.
[00:48:51] Unknown:
Yes. The party that can't be elected because she can't I can't be elected. You can't vote for it. But but it may be this sort of approach. I know it's kind of slightly tongue in cheek, but it's serious as well. Yeah. Yeah. Because it it might it gives us an approach to communicate. I didn't do it that well then. My recording would have been better. And I'll do a recording and probably just put it up as a video, actually, on Rumble, of course, because I'm an internal optimist. No. We'll see what we do with it. But, I think it's it's just as it's a a way to try and get these points across. It's very difficult. We can get there are things that we don't talk about here because we're restrained. There are other things that we could say. Many people here that are listening to us that are educated and know what's going on can fill in the gaps. I rely upon that to some degree. I mean, you can't be 100% sure.
But the the main topic really of today's show is what's happened to us in the eighty intervening years. And it's current I mean, we've had this thing, haven't we, Eric? This week, I don't know if you guys are aware of it. We've had a decision made yet again. So we had this appalling sort of contrast which really is illustrated by what I was saying in that little speech there that Keir Starmer, they're all calling him Keith on the radio. I don't know why that what they've got against people called Keith, but they keep calling him Keith Starmer for some reason. But, he swanned up to that event on Monday hanging the flag over him or trying to be close to it, you know, like some I mean, it's just repulsive.
But then he comes out with this policy that says that, people from India can come and work here and don't pay any national insurance for three years. The the people that are in charge are directly our enemy. Yes. They're direct they're directly our enemy. They're not anything else. They're not and, you know, I understand that the newscasters have to dress it up. What's it, you know, they go, this is ridiculous. You know all those words, those adjectives that you can use. This is shocking and all that kind of stuff. No, it isn't. It's war. It's absolutely whether they know it or not and, you know, my main concern is that they are literally so stupid they don't know what they're doing and there's a lot of evidence to suggest that that is the case.
But they are doing things which are directly harming us. They're not harming anybody else. They're taking money away from people, they're taking the options of building a life away from people and there's, for what? We don't owe anybody in the world a thing, not even the bankers. In fact, particularly not them. We owe them notes. I just cross it all out and say, tough, you've lost all your credit, and they'd go, right, we're gonna get all these other countries to drop bombs on you because that's what they do. Right? We know that that's what they do. But people need to be aware of the issue, and they're never gonna get aware of it through these normal routes. And, of course, when we come close to it, then the channels get banned, don't they? Not that I think we would necessarily get banned here, and I'm not gonna cry if we do. It's no it's no biggie. It really isn't. But, finding this way through with this material is really important, I think, because if an electorate, so called, is uninformed, and it permanently is, what can it actually do?
Not much, unfortunately. And we're not in a much of a better position than British men and women and men and women from all the other nations were at that period in history as they were progressively lied to, every single one of them, by their governments.
[00:52:10] Unknown:
Yeah. I was gonna say everything you said could be applied to this country here too. Any country.
[00:52:18] Unknown:
It can.
[00:52:19] Unknown:
It can. If you look over the last eighty years, if you look at it from a different perspective and say, we've had people in parliament that absolutely hate the indigenous population, and they really do, they couldn't have done a better job. They've done an incredible job, a remarkable job of destroying this country from within. You couldn't you couldn't wish for better. They they've done a perfect job of it. And it it it to me, what is happening now is metaphorically urinating on the graves of our ancestors.
[00:52:56] Unknown:
That's what they're doing. Keep a start, mate. Yeah. It is. But it's urinating on us. In fact, it's covering us in petrol about to set us on fire, and we happen to be the ones that are on watch right now. It's important that we honor and respect those men in the past, but this comment you've made it before. David Irving made it, you know, and we're all echoing it and it was made on that radio clip which I caught. I I think I mentioned it before I keep listening to oh, I forgot Mike Graham. I keep listening to Mike Graham. It's talk radio over here 6AM to 10AM. There's some really good stuff on there, really really good stuff and in fact, let me play you something here. This is from let's see if I can just find this because I had a few clips lined up. Yeah. This is from earlier today, Mike Graham. I've taken about three minutes out of it. It's not focusing right on the war issue but the sentiments are exactly the same. This is Peter Hitchens. Now, I don't know if you guys know him over there in The States. He's the brother of was it Christopher Hitchens? Yeah. He's his brother.
Yeah. I mean, I I don't agree with him completely, but I like I like what he does. And None of us agree with one another completely ever doing. But Of course. But still Of course. Things are arguably right. What he's saying Yeah. But, besides that, he's good. Hitchens is is really useful, I think, because he was a Marxist in the sixties. Yeah. And he's the one that's pointed out he he complete once it sort of dawned on him that this was complete madness, he pulled out of it and he's the one that pointed out that Starmer is a Pabloist which is an extreme version of Trotskyitism, which is an extreme version of communism.
That's what we're dealing with. Right? Anyway, this was on Mike Graham's show this morning about just after 08:00 and I've just cut it down to about three minutes. This is Peter Hitchens just talking about Britishness. It's really interesting.
[00:54:41] Unknown:
Can I just reflect a tiny bit on it was just looking at those those films you were just showing on VE Day? I Yeah. I think all of us are terribly moved by looking back on this, especially if this in in, in my case, these are the years just before I was born Yeah. In which my parents, lived, in which they remembered quite well. I've filled with mixed feelings about this. Obviously, nobody wants to do anything other than honor the those who who died and suffered Yeah. Through it. Because without them, we'd be much worse off than we are. But the thing which crossed my mind as I looked at this one says, how much less British we are than we were on VE Day? Yeah. I remember those interesting, minor poet called Priscilla Napier, whose husband was a was a destroyer captain who actually died of exhaustion in the in in the first months of the second World War Yeah. Giving the the the seas around this country stay from the Germans. Mhmm. And she at one stage remember saying that what he'd gone to see for was to make sure his children could grow up British. Yes.
And I just wonder whether those who in 1939, '19 '40 set out, on the the path to what was quite possibly gonna be death or or or serious injury or whatever other disaster. And all the people who side and said, okay, right, we're going to endure rationing and privation and everything that's coming for this immense battle. If they I think all of them had if they'd been asked for their war aims, the most fundamental one would be that they they wanted Britain to remain Britain Yeah. And for their children to grow up in a country like the one they've grown up in. And yet this didn't happen. And I'm I know that people think this is a silly obsession in in my case, but I I don't care.
I for instance, this you you everybody around me now uses, the the continental measurements, the the Mises and the Yeah. Kilogram, the Lises, which are which are foreign to me. Enormous numbers of things happen in this country in in a in a way which is is is foreign to me, quite different from my own childhood. Yeah. And it doesn't seem to me that we succeeded very well in remaining British, either in the big things or in detail. I I just think that the the rejoicing is all very well, but rejoicing without thought afterwards is pointless.
And when people have put away the Union Jackson, cleared up the the street party debris and all the rest of them, when the the pubs have finally closed, closed. I I would just urge people to think a lot more about about what how whether we really did win this war and what we could do about restoring and and retaining that which is still British about us. Yes. Because I that that that is really the important thing we now face. Before it all goes and vanishes altogether, we really need to consider what we were fighting for rather more rather more profoundly than we have before.
[00:57:33] Unknown:
Peter Hitchens there with Mike Graham earlier today on Mike Graham's, talk show. Don't know what you thought about that, guys, but I like to hear stuff like that. I thought he was spot on. I too have a great problem and just an irritation with the metric system. It tries I hate it. I want feet and inches back and get I can't stand it. It's just I love the complexity of the old English money. I I think I mentioned I've had this conversation with people. $66
[00:57:58] Unknown:
bills?
[00:57:59] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Kind of stuff. I like that too. Yeah. Yeah. It's just great. It's fantastic. I've had the conversation with people, you know. Checkout girls say, you know we're going back to pounds, shillings, and pence. They look at me and go, what's that? And, oh, yes. You're very young. I said, well, it's superior to all this decimal crap. That's what it is. And I explained it to them and they go, that's so confusing. I go, yeah. You'll become cleverer if you use it. It'll make you think constructively. It's way, way better. Anyway, I didn't see all this stuff, much to riots in the street, Eric.
[00:58:30] Unknown:
I agree. But, I mean, when in architecture, I mean, I had to work in metric, but I had to think in, interest and imperial. So if someone says, oh, it's a 25 millimeters. Oh, it's an inch. You know? And that type of thing. Yeah. I'd always convert it back to imperial. To me, you know, a meter doesn't mean anything, but about just over three foot. Yeah. That that that's, you know, three foot. That's about a meter. I'll have to go back to Imperial all the time. Kilometers doesn't mean anything. It's miles. You know, I do miles per hour, and I owe so many miles. What is a kilometer?
[00:59:07] Unknown:
It's got four syllables for a start. Kilo meter. Useless word. It just sounds like mile, one syllable. There you go. Yard, inch, once foot. Pound. Right? Yeah. There's a reason why English took over the world. The French were spending hours actually talking to one another, saying kilometer and all we just got it all done. It's just nuts. But It's crass. It's and it lacks. Yeah. Ugh. It's it's like technical sort of I hate it. I don't
[00:59:36] Unknown:
Going back to the e day Yeah. Many, many years ago, I think I was still at school. I was watching television, an old flick flicking back a white television. And there was a a program. It was commemorating something about the war. It might have been Dresden. It might have been VED. I don't know, but let's put that aside. There was a vicar on this show, and he were Oh, vicar. Criticized a vicar. Yes. And he criticized the Dresden bombings at the time, apparently. And he was, you know, he got a bit of flack for it. And he's came out with something very interesting. He said, the war was totally unnecessary.
He said, when we declared war on Germany, and he said, remember, it wasn't the other way around. He said, borders were closed. So now I'm gonna put my bit in. Atrocities are are committed by both sides in a war, and the psychopaths on both sides. But he said, atrocities could happen more easily with closed borders once you've declared war than if you got, not those not go got closed borders, and you've got an embassy staff, and you've got people visiting. You can't commit things so easily unless there's a declaration of war. Mhmm. That was a very interesting way of looking at it when you come to think about it. Because So you're safer with having the embassies open?
Well, that's what this vicar was saying. I'm not I'm not saying that. I'm just passing you. I I I agree with him in that. I think,
[01:01:13] Unknown:
David Irving mentions that vicar in his book on Dresden. I I recall reading that. A brave man. A very, very brave man. I think it might have been the same one. I don't know. He addressed it all at one point during the time.
[01:01:26] Unknown:
I don't know how long that vicar lived after the war. It might have been somebody else. But that is the thing. And when you look at, atrocities on both sides, for example, what happened to the German POWs after the war where the labor government committed a war crime by changing their, definition of POW
[01:01:52] Unknown:
to something else, which Yeah. Wasn't it other losses by Bach? What was his name, Paul? Do you remember?
[01:01:59] Unknown:
Yeah. James Bach. James. James Bach. B a c q u e. James Bach. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I spoke to someone that's in the Weimar, and he was put down a mine. Slave labor after the war. Don't hear very much about that. But another thing is that, when I, on my show, was it about a couple of weeks ago, I played a recording of my father about what he said. And putting it in a nutshell, he was really caught little bit coy about it, on the recording, but he said the way he's been treated and the way this country's turned out, if they had had known, during World War two what was going to happen, He would not fault, and he did say, that if they'd have known how this country is gonna turn out, everyone would have thrown their rifles down and given up.
[01:02:50] Unknown:
And he really meant it. And they would have done. And I think David Irving said similar. He said that they would have got 12 yard stuff for coast on d day. They were They were deceived. They were calm. And we are being deceived now. People will look back on this. I mean, maybe we are being less deceived than others, but this deception lock just doesn't stop with these people because it can't because that's how they got to where they've got to. That's why they're in these positions. Right? They're very good at it. Apparently, they can go to sleep at night having lied their asses off to the whole nation, and this is okay. It's not okay. We don't have the means, unfortunately, to haul them into a court and get them dealt with in a suitable fashion but there we go. Listen, we're at the top of the hour. Well, we've gone past it actually, of course. I'm ludicrous from thy time creeping. It's two minutes past nine here. So two minutes past four in jolly old America, not that you refer to it as that. Anyway, I played a song the other week by The New Mules, which, I'd forgotten just how much I like them. The problem the one thing I don't like about their songs is they're very short. This one's only two minutes and twenty five seconds. It's not enough. I can't even go to the loo or anything. Do you want me to, play that, Churchill thing? I mean, this is this is what I've got. No. I don't. I wait. Okay. Okay. It's the one I've got. It's definitely the one I've got. It will be because he would have done more. No. Don't worry about it. It's fine. We got some more stuff coming up. But thanks, Patrick, all the same.
So we're gonna take a a short musical break. You listen to Paul English Live here on WBN three two four, Radio Soapbox, EuroFolk Radio, Global Voice Network. Not listening to it on Rumble because they pooed all over us today, and we're all hanging out in YouTube now. There's been a reasonable migration over to YouTube. It's most we could have probably expected because I know how habit old habits die hard. Anyway, this is I Went Down to New Orleans. I didn't, by the way. It's the name of the song, but somebody must have gone down there. One day by the new mules cup, two and a half minutes, and we'll be back after this.
[01:04:36] Unknown:
I went down to New Orleans. I'd never been there before.
[01:04:44] Unknown:
It's jolly good fun.
[01:04:46] Unknown:
They fed my horse in a poplar trough, and I'll go there tomorrow. I went down to the creek that wants to live in the sea. I often tried to go gray goose and pop across the creek. Just before I got to the bank, the news popped in my mind. I was taken. Friday, was my hanging bill. Saturday, a humbug

[01:07:48] Unknown:
Yep. Thank you for listening, everyone. Great to be here. Every Thursday, 3PM start US Eastern, 8 PM in The UK. Sometimes on other platforms as well when they don't all go pear shaped at the last minute. Ho ho ho. Anyway, chaps, welcome back to part two, hour two. Did you all manage to get to the toilet in those two and a half minutes or not? I'm No. I was dancing the whole time. That was fun. Isn't it jolly? That do you like it? What do you think? Yeah. I love that. Jig. I love it. It's great. All those fiddle playing stuff. My musical tastes really shifted and got stranger the older I've got. There's all sorts of things in there now. I was very narrow when I was younger. It's gotta be this, and I kept very cross if it wasn't that. Now it could be just about anything as long as it's played with a bit of joy, and that's, I thought that was quite joyful. Not that I've ever been to New Orleans, but I imagine it's reasonably happy apart from all the drug addicts and the hoes.
They don't say do they say top ho down in New Orleans? Top ho? Yes. They do. Yeah. Top ho. Yeah. Top ho. Why not? Anyway, Eric, are you still with us or have we have we lost you? We often lose you in a break and you sort of, you know, disappear into audio. No. You've lost Oh, yes. Still with me, I think. I don't think I'm here. Am I? Oh, yes. I am here. No. You're not here. Oh, fantastic. I can't hear you. That's that's amazing. Yeah.
[01:09:00] Unknown:
But, wasn't that a bit of a lovely jig, wasn't it? And it's a sort of music that livens you up. It's a medicine.
[01:09:07] Unknown:
Good music is a medicine, isn't it, really? Gets you all Doesn't it make you happy? Doesn't it make your heart joyful? Want to sing? There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. It's good. Yeah. Yeah. And I think Yeah. Really good. This is what we need. A more,
[01:09:21] Unknown:
roots, the sort of, you know, good old fashioned sort of gets you back to your roots sort of things. You know? When you listen to, things like, well, I don't listen to BBC at all now, but if you listen to it, the music they put on there, it's just dirge all the time, isn't it? Oh, you know, it's it's just electronic nonsense. I think it's got two electronic.
[01:09:46] Unknown:
That's the thing. It is. Yeah. It's all a little bit dull. We just need people with real instruments making mistakes. It's the mistakes that make it fun. It's how musicians recover from mistakes that make it great in a live performance. I always think it's good. Because sometimes they make a mistake and the song goes off in a completely different direction. That's always a thrill. That's true. So, you know, yeah. Yeah. Improvisation is a key part of it.
[01:10:06] Unknown:
What was that about VE Day? I think it's an idea to try and get into the minds of the people at that time. Now my parents, we can only do this from what our parents or relatives said, said that it felt as if the war because the war started when they were my dad was 20. My mom was 16 when the war started. And it felt as if it was gonna go on forever. On and on and on. It's to and they said that when they heard that, you know, it it's come to an end, that that that was almost couldn't believe it. They were so overjoyed that there'd be no more bombing, no more, killing, no more bad news of people dying on the front and telegrams. They always used because the only way they heard about someone's death in those days was they received a telegram.
And, but it's the thing that is overlooked is that they would say, yes, the May 8, it did end on in 1945. But did it end in the hearts and the minds of the people? Because you think of those suffering, that, what they've been through, fear, constant fear, fear of your life, and people like my father who had, untreated shell shock. You don't know the hell that was going on in people's minds. And this is why when I see bombing of places like in The Middle East and that, I think of the children. What are they gonna grow up like, and what sort of hell are they gonna go through in their minds with shell shock or what they call now post traumatic stress disorder.
It's people don't realize that. And also, it should be remembered that a lot of people were killed after the war. More Germans were killed after the war than during the war, apparently, be it because a lot of them starve to death. There's also, I spoke to a lady once who went to a special school because a lot of the offsprings of the veterans, had problems at at itself had, post traumatic stress disorder.
[01:12:22] Unknown:
And she said Yeah. The knock on effect is horrific. We don't get to see it. That's right. We don't get to see it, though. It because
[01:12:28] Unknown:
What what what what were from parents that had had horrendous shell shock during the war. That's it.
[01:12:35] Unknown:
Well, people have got us a kind of weird spiritual shell shock going on right now, I would suggest. I know it's not the same as having your legs blown up. But It's not on. The the nature of the attack has shifted, but it's still an attack. It's still to undermine our national way of life, which is hanging on by its fingernails really, I suppose. You know, me talking about feet and inches and all this kind of stuff is kind of some sort of pantomime way of me dealing with it. And it's and I don't mind. I don't care what people think to be quite honest. I think the more sort of old fashioned and corny we seem, I think the cooler we're gonna get because there's nothing in the so called progressive modern world that's worth diddly squat. Hardly anything. It, you know, and that's tragic in a way. I I view that as a sort of result of this, so called education system which is producing drones, the arrival, of course, of smartphones, dumb people, etcetera etcetera. And, of course, I do now sound like your archetypical middle aged fart and I like it actually. I'm really enjoying it. It's brilliant because you have a sort of different sort of perspective. The thing is that there are certain sort of values that you don't wanna lose and they're all those are the ones, of course, that are being attacked all over the place. They're being removed. A quick shout out anyway to some people in the chat, to Brad Brad Springgate.
Interesting handle, Brad Brad Springgate. Difficult to say as well. And Billy Silver, yes. Thank you very much for your compliments on the speech. I'm gonna record the thing properly and put it up as a set video because it's about eight or nine minutes when I read it clean, and that's what we will do. So I just didn't had a chance to get it. There were all sorts of little things to deal with. Anyway, you don't wanna hear my lame excuses. They're ridiculous. Alice Gorgeous, now that's that's a name for you, lads. I don't know what that means, but Alice Gorgeous, that's a gorgeous name, Alice Gorgeous, says, I am advised that no one of foreign parents can hold high office.
What's your understanding of this, Paul? I don't know on that. Anybody here got a clue on it? I mean, in my view, anybody of foreign standing shouldn't have any office in any power center at all ever. But that's, you know, that's just quite old me. Anybody got an inside line on that? I would say if your father is native born, then you're good. But if if your
[01:14:48] Unknown:
father's not native born, then no.
[01:14:51] Unknown:
That would be my understanding of how it should be. Yeah. And you've got and and you've got to be of our race. You've got to be of our race.
[01:14:59] Unknown:
Up to the Victorian times, you had to be Christian, and your parents and grandparents has to be Christian. And when the Israeli got into power, there was one hell of a rumpus because he was, not Christian, and his father had converted. So he became Christian. And that's and it it it caused a lot of of of problems. And Disraeli was the first well, he was Benjamin. Technically. Benjamin Disraeli was technically Christian, but his father wasn't
[01:15:35] Unknown:
because he converted when Benjamin was He was the first Jewish prime minister of of England of of the British empire. Yeah.
[01:15:45] Unknown:
I, But Go ahead. Before then, it was very, very strict. And they were also very strict on the civil service as well. They wanted to know what your parents were.
[01:15:55] Unknown:
And it'll get back that way. Mark my words, Eric von Essex. It needs to return to those principles if we are to return to our way of life. It's not that these other people lack skills or anything. It's just that those skills are for their own people. Not here. We don't need them. It's depriving
[01:16:11] Unknown:
other other countries of the people that are needed to build that country. Correct. Correct. So selfishness, in a way, is very, very selfish.
[01:16:21] Unknown:
It is. It is. And and this argument, of course, never enters the brain of that limited space called a liberal mind. It's not even in there. They they never think they never think to that point of the harm it's doing to the to the these people's own people back at home, which is where they're needed and required. I've mentioned this before, you know, this sort of, oh, you're racist if you oppose this is complete nonsense. It's a pitfall argument. It's ridiculous. It it fails to take into account the harm it's doing to the people back home. These are the natural leaders of the racism as a term? Isn't racism as a term a fairly new term? Wasn't that Trotsky, Brownstein? Yeah. Good old Trotsky. Yeah. 1992. Invented his term.
[01:17:02] Unknown:
He did. Yeah. So it's a neologism
[01:17:04] Unknown:
for just the what what would you call it? Say that again, Patrick. Gone. I love it when you say that. Neologism. Yes. Neologism. It is. Oh.
[01:17:13] Unknown:
For for what? Fear of aliens? I don't know.
[01:17:17] Unknown:
I don't Well, it's it's basic it's only targeted at one peep the only people that can be racist according to that term are white people. Everybody else can't be. Only we can be. Christians. I I would I would turn it Christians. But yeah. Well, I agree with you. But yeah. But it's, like, it's directed at us. It really is. So we're the only ones that can do it and, of course, the counter arguments can't be heard because they actually make sense. It's not really a counter argument. It's just to point out that it's a mistake to even think that way. And also under the law, we are supposed to live separate from all the other races and the word live for me is like permanent residence.
Short term stays for learning and for commercial purposes, fine. I don't have a problem with that. I don't even dislike other people. It's got nothing to do with it. It's actually that your first line of duty is to your own kith and kin And how can you do that if you're devoting time, effort, and energy to other people? That's fundamentally wrong. Or if you can't even speak the language.
[01:18:10] Unknown:
That's that's another thing. If you come to another country and you don't learn the language and and you don't even want to, what are you doing there? Well, you're
[01:18:20] Unknown:
there for the you're there to not pay national insurance for three years. I mean, this national insurance thing is, you know, yet again, we're gonna rant about isn't outrage, blah blah blah blah blah blah. What it is is, is a is a very, very bad thing for us, and it's a very good thing for them because they they're using it again to demoralize and disempower our people. It's racism towards us. All the racism is directed at the white people. We're back to the topic of usury then if we're talking about insurance because
[01:18:49] Unknown:
that inevitably leads to it.
[01:18:51] Unknown:
Oh, you and your one trick arguments. I completely agree. Of course, Patrick, you're absolutely right. I'm only teasing a little bit, but yes. What exactly is national insurance and what does it insure you against? It it provides supposedly, purportedly, it provides the funds that are gonna play pay you your national state pension when you get older. So when a chap or a chap ess is out there working, I think I don't know what the figures are now. You may know better than me, Eric. I think if you earn 12 and a half thousand pounds a year, you don't pay any tax at all. Right. You can so you can earn a thousand pounds a month and not pay any tax, which is okay, I suppose. Although, you know, the price of a beef burger these days is probably about £20, so I have no idea what's going on. But it it's obviously gonna be difficult. It's always meant to not make you super wealthy, but anybody, you know, particularly if they own their own house, and that's a big if. But if they do, they can get by on that quite easily. It's not too difficult. You you won't be sort of destitute. You might not be going to Ibiza for your oldies all the time, but, you'd be okay, you know. So National Insurance then is so when you get above that, you start to pay income tax at whatever it is, 20% is it or something. I don't know what it is. You pay income tax and you also pay a smaller amount called National Insurance. And the idea is that throughout the period of your 40 of working for the man as a proletariat wage earner, which is really all most people Social Security, we call it. That's it. Yeah. That same sort of thing. Social security. It covers that. Five c a. It's supposed to yeah. It's supposed yeah. That's what you've got over there. So it goes into, supposedly, the state pension fund, and there's supposed to be all this money there that's gonna pay everybody off. Of course, that fund is plundered all the time. There's nothing in it, and it's just more, you know, juggling of this, that, and the other. And, however, it it means that the hiring of workers from India is financially very attractive to employers.
Like, it means that their costs of employing these people are about 20% less all in. So who do you think they're gonna hire? And, also, what these idiots haven't worked out is that right now in India, agencies are gonna be springing up, making out that they've been employment and recruiting agencies into England for donkey's years. All this blather will be going on. Right? There were all this malarkey. And they'll be just working with their mates to pour people in here to get stuff done and to just have a beano. The the people that you know, you either say, well, the people in charge of labor are absolutely moronic, which goes without saying really even though I just said it because it's fun to say it.
But the the more accurate thing is that their stupidity is by design. They feign innocence, but they know what they're doing because they're under instructions to do just this sort of thing to chew us up even further. Yeah. And I call Yeah. Go ahead. Well, I was just gonna say because they don't have the guts to actually raise this topic, They cannot raise this topic at all. It's not just that the Labour Party, the Conservative Party is wriggle out of it. And then when they're in opposition, they start accusing the party of going soft on it and failing, of course, to ever, acknowledge that they were just as soft as well because they're all under the same instruction set.
So, you know, like we said before, it didn't matter who you vote for, the government's always in. It's the money power, and these guys just work for them and continue to do the policies that benefit the creditor class so that they can have their global control grid, and we just get treated like manure. So,
[01:22:11] Unknown:
I just wanna make clear. I don't I don't think Social Security is, completely usury based because you do put money into it like a pension fund. So I wouldn't call it completely
[01:22:22] Unknown:
that, but there are elements of it because it's forced where you Yeah. You do have to pay into it. So Well well, that and Social Security, I mean, you contribute to it, but it's also like unemployment insurance. You contribute to that as well, but so does your employer. So True.
[01:22:43] Unknown:
The thing is, I don't know what it's like in The States, but those funds are empty over here. Right. Well, they they just get used for government whatever, this, that, and the other, and then they come up with some other whiz bang thing. More money then. Yeah. They do. And that's why there are 400 taxes. And the these things are not little. I actually think that the I think they're the the ground of combat. I think this is really where we need to fight in all this supposedly relatively small stuff. The fact that they're gonna employ these people over white English lads and lasses is an outrage and is worthy of a severe uprising because but, of course, everybody's going well, I got my TV and my smartphone.
So people are soporific. They're kind of induced into a semi coma. They're not completely dead because then they'd be useless to everybody. But this sort of this suppression of the British spirit is still there. It's just that they're making sure that nothing comes up to feed it back into life again. And, it's our job to do just that with others. It's to set people on fire. They gotta do it. I want to see it anyway.
[01:23:43] Unknown:
We have Spoke Kids Syndrome. That's the real big problem, Spoke Kids Syndrome. And I remember my parents saying that What? Kids were especially spoiled in the nineteen sixties and fifties because their parents said, the hell that we've been through, I don't want my children, which is quite understandable. I'm not criticizing, but, everybody's looking for a parent or father figure. When sort of looking in the mirror and saying, no. That's a leader. It's gonna lead me out of things. And that is government. Self respect. And I actually look on things like food stamps and benefits, which we have in this country, as a failure of the government.
Because if we had a situation where the profits of the country were plowed into the People's Bank and everybody got a share from that bank, you wouldn't really need food stamps and benefits because, it it it would be, self replicating, and people would have at least a safety net to live on. And, the go getters would also have a safety net because if whatever they invested in failed, they still wouldn't go hungry. They'd still get their payout from the profits of the country and the bank. So I just wonder what your thoughts are on that.
[01:25:08] Unknown:
Well, I think yeah. Sorry, Paul. Yeah. Go on. You have a chance. They wouldn't wanna do that because
[01:25:15] Unknown:
the more independent that they make people, if they did have, like, guaranteed minimum income, whatever, people would just, the lazy ones, of course, would just position themselves to be able to survive on that meager amount, and then they, of course, wouldn't work, and they wouldn't produce anything, and they wouldn't be fueling the economy. So, basically, what they've done is they have made it so difficult to survive that you're forced to sleep between five and six hours a night instead of eight. You fight traffic. You punch in.
You do your grueling work all day long, and then you fight traffic to get back home again, and then you are so exhausted that all you can do is eat a microwave meal, watch a little bit of prime time programming, I e the evening news, and then you go to bed just so you do it all over again. If they did not keep people just seven days from absolute financial destitution, they wouldn't be motivated to work as far as they think.
[01:26:25] Unknown:
So That's right.
[01:26:27] Unknown:
Yeah. It's all by design. It's a cattle control system.
[01:26:30] Unknown:
It is Exactly. Carrots and sticks, and it's all micromanaged now. And I we've mentioned before, the economy is an artificial condition. It doesn't exist anymore as we understood it because they are using all of these interrelated networks and computers and tracking things or whatever you wanna call it. It doesn't really matter. They've got their big systems, and they know where the pressure points are and they can relieve them easy. Oh, there's always money for whatever it is. It's all becoming meaningless. The idea that you could voluntarily sort of set yourself up in business and do something. Once businesses get started, they're hammered with so many taxes, pieces of paperwork. You just why do people bother? Well, that's exactly what they want. They don't want you to bother.
They want the whole thing basically, you know, pressing buttons and doing all this kind of stuff. And bringing these people in is an act of warfare. We didn't agree to that. Nobody asked me, so the answer's no. I don't want any of them. In fact, the ones that are here, I want them all to go home. Not because I hate them or anything, but because it's hurting my people. Apparently, this is not a concern of anybody. This doesn't matter. Apparently, anybody can come and live in our home because, apparently, our forefathers did lots of bad things in the eighteen forties in India. Well, they did do some bad things. But this price of how long are we supposed to keep paying for it? I mean, due to the Romans, that was everything for invading Britain Fifteen Hundred Years ago, eighteen hundred years ago. Yeah. We go to Italy.
I mean, we go and tap up the pope. Apparently, they got loads of money. Hey. You came over here, caused a lot of trouble, Ruined our country. We want loads of money for everybody forever for doing nothing. It's mad. Reparations.
[01:27:57] Unknown:
Reparations are pure crap. Sorry, Paul. Reparations are pure crap. My ancestors came from Canada. I was born here in The US, and, my ancestors came from Germany. Actually, it's kind of a cute story. My grandfather on my father's side fell in love with and ran off with the maid and was disowned by the family because the family was, I mean, the family was kinda like the, oh god, kinda like the Rockefellers in Germany. You know? They were they were warlords. They were, conquerors. They were just not very nice people. And for him to corrupt the bloodline like that, they said, oh, well, we can't possibly have that. And that's how I wound up here. But what I do know about the family is I've never owned a slave.
My mother and father never owned a slave. And as far as I know, my family in Germany never owned slaves. They did have servants, but from what I hear, even though they were total jerks, they treated the servants fairly well. So if they're looking to me for reparations, sorry, that dog won't hunt. Mhmm. Not my fault. Not my circus. Not my monkeys. I didn't do it. Of course, a liberal would oh my god. He said that. Oh, crap. You know, all my crazy stuff. Hey. I've got a story if we've got a minute. A quick story. Hang on. Let me have a look. It's Yeah. We got a minute. Look at that. We got quite a few left, actually. Go on. Have a whole minute, Paul. Go on. We've got we've got one minute at the bottom of the hour. A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who is retiring. The older doctor suggested that the young one accompany him on his rounds so community could become used to the new doctor. At the first house, the woman complained, I've been a little sick to my stomach. The older doctor says, well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick. As they left, the younger doctor said, you didn't even examine that one. How did you come to that diagnosis so quickly?
The older doctor said, I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there. Well, when I went bend over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was probably what was making her sick. Young doctor said, well, pretty clever. If you don't mind, I think I'll try that at the next house. Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with a younger woman. She said that she didn't have the energy she once did and said that I'm feeling terribly run down lately. You've probably been doing too much for the church, the younger doctor told her. Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps. As they left, the elder doctor said, I know that woman pretty well. Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct. She's very active in the church, but how did you arrive at it? Well, the younger doctor said, I did exactly what you did at the last house. I dropped my my stethoscope, and when I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the vicar hiding under the bed.
[01:31:21] Unknown:
Oh, I like that one. That's a classic. That's a good note, isn't it?
[01:31:27] Unknown:
That's a good tale. I like that. Yes. There's always vicars hiding under beds, aren't there? There are any little English stuff. Yeah. I'm gonna check my tonight to see if it's not vicarous. There might be a nun under mine tonight. I mean, you never know what you're gonna get, do you? Mhmm. What the bloody hell are you doing here? Yeah. That kind of stuff. Well, she gets should get into the habit, shouldn't she, of getting under your bed. Oh. I'm a good lord. Right, Eric.
[01:31:50] Unknown:
We're gonna have words. That's what I started. Oh, no. My fault. My fault.
[01:31:58] Unknown:
It is terrible. Yeah. It is. It's terrible.
[01:32:03] Unknown:
Do you know what else is it? In America that just said, you've been found in a brothel. Do you remember that? And he came on television, I've sinned. I've sinned. You're cool, chef, mate. Do you remember that? What was his name? Mhmm. Years ago. About fifteen, twenty years ago. Something like that. I thought they all did that, Harry, didn't they? Don't they all do that at some point? Probably.
[01:32:26] Unknown:
They all do that at some point. Yeah. Anyway, would you would you like to leave the eightieth VE Day things aside? We do you think we've we've sort of served that little topic long enough, do you think? Well I'm trying to think of other things I might want to add to it. I mean, as I said, the the key thing is what's happening in these eighty years. If you actually look at it, you see this just general erosion of everything that was that was good. I mean, I'm trying to figure out really where the sixties and the seventies and the eighties kind of fell in because they were fun. And maybe They were. Maybe it was just a matter of, you know, it was really the the full creation of the teenager.
It was the introduction of the drug culture, wasn't it, in the sixties. So we got that going. Yeah. Apparently, that was cool, man, even though I was not in the slightest bit interested in all that silliness. So there was that. There was a greater separation in the relationship between parents and teenagers. Teenagers became a full blown thing. Like I mentioned before, my dad in the nineteen thirties, when he was 14, wasn't a teenager. They didn't have them. They haven't built them yet. They sort of started coming about in the late forties in The States with the Bobby Sockers and Frank Sinatra. So it's all Frank Sinatra's fault. That kind of stuff, the whole development of youth culture. I think you've got to really you know, when we track it all down, even looking at the music industry, it's all part of this division of the family to create these sort of separations of cultures, to give the youth their own culture altogether, apparently, which really much of it is pretty ropey in retrospect. Although some of the pop songs are fun. There's no two ways about it. They are fun.
[01:33:55] Unknown:
Right. My uncle used to say, when they because, my uncle went through the war as well, and he used to say to my dad, when we were young, it was an elderly person's world, and now we're older, it's a young person's world. And I can understand them understand that because in the sixties, it was a very youth orientated world. But if you look at the thirties and twenties, it was a very elderly orientated world. Mhmm. And now it's a very communist woman to orientated world. Really? Like, you're not cool, daddy o. That kind of thing. Your old man is a square. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. Now do you realize that generation now are the geriatrics, aren't they? When You think about it. That's us, mate. Yeah.
[01:34:44] Unknown:
Yeah. How bloody hell is that old? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You can't get away from it. Is it us? Yeah. It's us. Yeah. It's absolutely us. What I wanna know is
[01:34:55] Unknown:
what has happened to cool? Call has gone. Because when I was a kid cool. I mean, Steve McQueen was cool. Look here in that film, bullet. That's cool. And I always wanted to drive a full Mustang like Steve McQueen. There it
[01:35:11] Unknown:
is. I always thought cool was meant to do with a kind of, a manly composure in the face of tiresome odds. And he was always in control. Basically, you've got self cool is when you've got self control. And some banshee is wailing at you, screaming some
[01:35:29] Unknown:
hysterical fashion. As well. A bit smoother. Look at the man from UNCLE. They were really slick and high, you know. Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin. Those chaps?
[01:35:40] Unknown:
Yes.
[01:35:41] Unknown:
Mhmm. What They were good. You know, the ladies used to drool over their weapons because they had You say it's steady or it's a bit like the freaking joke. But something that got me, they they used to enter that building via a tie was it a dry sorry. A oh, what do you call it? A trouser pressing shop, didn't they? Wouldn't trash the, opposition get a little bit suspicious, said that couple of hundred people. Shripping it to this shop every morning and not coming out. I mean
[01:36:11] Unknown:
Do you think they know what they're doing when they called it thrush? I mean, it's you know, I I thought about that later on. Yeah. So that's a itchy enemy, isn't it, rather? Yeah. I mean, the name tag department got that one either completely wrong or it's wholly intentional for some reason. I don't know. Well, they got it from scratch, didn't they? I think. You know? I mean Did they? They're good at them.
[01:36:32] Unknown:
Yes. But it still looks cold, isn't it? I mean, the man from uncle and things like that. I mean but the worst one was the British version, which was department air strip of that with it's a wind guard. It was about as gay as a people.
[01:36:52] Unknown:
Yes. Peter Wingard. He's in that infamous scene in the the Avengers with, Patrick McNee and, Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. Yeah. Oh, every schoolboy in England was completely besotted with Diana Rigg and for good reasons. Absolutely astonishingly vivacious and just wonderfully cheeky and smart in The Avengers. Yeah. Yes. There's all that kind of stuff. I it was I thought it was the best TV is the one TV series that I've watched that emotionally sort of or from an affectionate point of view, I have better memories of that than anything. I thought it was all that champagne at the beginning because being about nine or 10, champagne was very exotic. I mean, it's I still do like champagne.
Although, it should never be drunk with anything else. I think if you start off on champagne, that's it for the rest of the day. If you are drinking for the rest of the day, you don't wanna put anything else in with it. It gets in the way. I just love that series and the cybernauts were amazing. Look, we've gone off into Piffleland, but it's quite fun, isn't it? I love the cybernauts, thought they were very menacing. And, yes. Anyway, we've got them now. We've got cybernauts because Elon Musk has provided them for us. Isn't that nice? But yeah. Going back to the Avengers, did you think they lost it when Tara King came in? I never liked Tara King. I always thought Diana Rigg was the best. As someone Oh, well, I thought she she had an impossible role to fill. We're like TV critics from the nineteen seventies with those huge sideburns now, are we? She did. Because, who's gonna replace, you know, Diana Rigg? It was impossible, I think. Yes. I was so pleased to find out she was a Yorkshire lass later on. I don't know why I was. It's ridiculous for sure. Shady, wasn't she? Tara Tara King? No. She's a maid. Oh, Tara yeah. No. Diana Rigg was from Yorkshire.
Oh, we Tara. Tara King was from Yorkshire. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
[01:38:40] Unknown:
But then they had, who's that one that she oh, blimey. What's her name now? In the new Avengers, because pack Patrick McNeese said, yes. They should have had the new Avengers, but not with him on it. He said, it should have been in the new Avengers. And it was, she had this hairstyle. What was her name now? Oh, bloody hell. Can't remember her name.

Maleficus Maleficus hi. Good evening, Maleficus. He's suggesting that Clint Eastwood, the all time coolest. Yes. Cooler than Steve McQueen, you think? Yeah? Yes. Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
[01:39:43] Unknown:
But he was kid. Was it High Plains Drifter? Was it High Plains Drifter he was in?
[01:39:49] Unknown:
Oh, he was He was in a he was every Western he's been in has been brilliant. Yes. I mean, just every single one. Absolutely amazing. Yeah. Clint Eastwood The Good and the Bad and the Ugly is still the most it's an astonishing film. Have you watched I watched part of it recently. I thought, I've got to sit down and watch it all again because the music by Ennio Morricone is just it's so fantastic. Back in the eighties when I was in London and I've got a little bit of money about '85, I went out and bought my second Chevrolet Camaro. I've had three. It's really weird. I bought three. I never bought any British cars. I just used to buy these big gas guzzling yank tanks as all my mates call them. I loved them because they just burbled around and, they just had so much torque and I just come and I just loved it. I just you know? And I was a poser, of course, because I'm 25 or something.
And I of course, we had a cassette player. You remember cassette players? And they would often go wrong, wouldn't they, in cars and all the tape would just spew out into your lap when you're doing 40 mile an hour or something. I got the whole of that album, the music of Ennio Morricone for all the spaghetti westerns and just put it on tape. Used to drive around London night listening to all that stuff. It was just fantastic. It was like being in your own movie. How sad is that? And, but it's great. It's very atmospheric stuff. The, what's that wonderful one? The Lust for Gold, where they're all squaring off against one one another, you know, in that, cemetery right at the end. It's just so brilliant because it's so theatrical and almost operatic.
So and it's just fantastically engaging stuff, brilliant filmmaking, really is. So yeah, I loved all that, loved it. And if we're still talking about Clint, which I am, I thought Unforgiven was stunning. I absolutely I couldn't believe it when I saw that film. I just thought, wow, the best western ever.
[01:41:43] Unknown:
Is it?
[01:41:45] Unknown:
Hang on. I'll just go and get my horse. That was it's I just get you see, the thing is, as soon as you start playing it, I was gone. I didn't really wanna talk anymore. I just want you to play the whole thing. Hey, maybe I could put that on as the music at, the end of this hour. Will we get done for it? What was that? Did you play that, Patrick, or you saw it over to you on You don't need to. I can pull it up on on one of these things. To Tuttoli. Is that what it's from? Yeah. Look at that, Maleficus.

Lee Van Cleave is the other one. He was cool in,
[01:44:17] Unknown:
The Bad. What was
[01:44:19] Unknown:
do you remember that one? Bad. When he's Oh, he was very sad. This door in. And he and he walks past this woman in the bath to get because he was a bounty hunter. Then he walks back, just very politely tips his hat and says, pardon me, man. Walks out. I thought that was classic. That was ultra cool, wasn't it? Gets through his horse, so this is baddie riding away. Yeah. He just gets his rifles out. Boom. Just.
[01:44:44] Unknown:
Yeah. Lee Van Cleave, definitely. Super cool. Time to make some good westerns again, you guys. Come on. Make some good ones. Oh, yeah. I know they yeah. The I mean, Unforgiven, though. It's more it's not really a western, is it? I mean, it is a western. It's obviously set in a western setting. But it's the way that he turns into this angel of death. That's what gets that's what he becomes Is that the Kevin Costner movie? No. No. It's the one with Clint Eastwood Clint. And Gene Hackman. It's just fun. He's basically what's he called? William Money is the name of the character he plays. He's lost his wife. He's a pig farmer covered in shit at the beginning, looking after his kids in the middle of bloody nowhere. And, but his his history is one of extreme violence. He's killed men, women, and children a lot. He's, but he never got hurt.
And so there's something about him, and, he gets pulled out of retirement to do one last job. And he gets this young kid who comes along who's, like, thinks he's Billy the Kid and everything, and it's a it's gritty because it's about what really happens when you shoot someone. I don't mean in terms of gore. I mean, in terms of the emotional impact on the people that shoot them. And, it's also oh, it's got that the guy that played the Welsh actor whose name I've forgotten, he's in it, as English Bob. Remember that? Who's a bit gets beat up by Jean Hack Jean Hackman's a psycho in it. It's a fantastic film. There's not there's only about four or five main characters in it, and it just builds and builds. Have you not seen it, Patrick?
[01:46:16] Unknown:
No.
[01:46:17] Unknown:
Well, you need to see it. Put that down. 1990, I think, or '91. It's it's probably is in terms of the yeah. I think it's right up there with any of the films he's ever done, Clint Eastwood. It's just amazing.
[01:46:30] Unknown:
Such a fantastic script. I think he's a good director because he did a film. I can't know what it's called, and it showed you both sides. It was in, World War two. It showed you the Japanese side and the American side. And it showed the Japanese, they were kids, basically, soldiers. Mhmm. Absolutely bloody terrified. And you see the Americans absolutely bloody terrified. Mhmm. And it was a it I'll call it an anti war film because it showed you the Japanese side, and your heart was churning for them. The same as with the American side, you felt your heart was churning for the Americans because they were basically kids. And, you know, they're being spurred on, spurred on. And, I don't know what the name of the film was, but it was bloody good. And Clint Eastwood directed it. He didn't act to it. He had directed it. He's a very good director. He knows his stuff, which he'd do. He's been here a lot of times, but no. Anybody know what the name of that film was?
[01:47:28] Unknown:
No. It rings a bell, but I I I don't know. Who was in it? I don't know. Who was in it?
[01:47:33] Unknown:

[01:47:42] Unknown:
Pacific Rim Uprising? That was from 2018.
[01:47:47] Unknown:
No. That's that's a great big robot movie with all those blokes in massive robots. World War two. It's World War two it's set in, and it was I think it's done about ten or twenty years ago, and it showed you both sides as the Americans were in the Pacific, capturing these islands. And Oh. It was showing you how a Japanese army worked where there these kids being ordered to do things that they didn't really want to do. And it showed you the American side where, you know, these these teenagers were bloody terrified. And it and, it was, absolutely unbelievable.
It was a very, very good film because it showed you the human side of war, which you very rarely see. It was it showed you the the the feelings that people had. Amazing it was. I'm not sure if it was a made for television one. I don't know. It's very good anyway. So any ideas in chat? You know?
[01:48:44] Unknown:
They're bloody clueless. Then, Billy Silver says, play Misty for me. Yeah. Do you remember that one? That was good. A DJ, isn't it? That was good. Yeah. I tell you what I'm I'll tell you what I am gonna watch again is, that John Carpenter film, The Thing. Remember that? Yeah. Up in Arctic, the Arctic or Antarctic? Yes. It's completely wacky, it's that thing, but it's the thing is yeah. Yeah. It's quite a bit of a thing. It was based on an older movie that called The Thing. The Thing That Came From Outer Space about 1952
[01:49:20] Unknown:
or something. Yeah. The Flags of Our Fathers. It was Flags of our Fathers from 02/2006. Oh, that's probably it. An American war drama film directed, co produced, and scored by Clint Eastwood and written by William Broyles junior and Paul Hagels. It is based on the 2,000 book of the same name written by James Bradley and Ron Powers about the nineteen forty five Battle of Iwo Jima.
[01:49:49] Unknown:
That's it. Be really done. It was very totally done. Our fathers.
[01:49:54] Unknown:
An interesting piece of trivia. Clint has a couple of famous kids. He's got, Kyle Eastwood who is a, a rather talented bassist and, film composer, and Scott Eastwood, who is basically following exactly in his father's footsteps, as an American actor and producer, the son of Clint Eastwood. He starred in several of his father's films, including Flags of Our Fathers, Gran Torino, Invictus, and Trouble with the Curve, as well as Texas Chainsaw, Fury, The Longest Ride, Suicide Squad, Snowden, The Fate of the Furious, Pacific Rim Uprising, The Outpost, The Wrath of Man, and Fast x. He's been a very busy guy.
[01:50:42] Unknown:
What's Snowden about? Is that about Edward?
[01:50:45] Unknown:
I do believe it is. Interesting. Yes. It is. It is. And the these are all movies that were, were, produced and or directed by, Clint Eastwood.

And just in case you think you've tuned into the wrong show, everybody, you've tuned into film club with Paul, Patrick, and Eric. And Paul, this is film club. Well, maybe, look, what we should do, maybe I should put aside a twenty minute slot inside the show, and we can do film club, and we can talk about films. Billy Silver here writes that Cary Grant is, of course, the coolest character. Oh. At times Yes. He he is at times. He looks very good in a suit. He really does look very good. And North by Northwest is one of the best films ever made. I I just think it is just stunningly good. Oh, yes. And it's got a rhythm to it. You just get drawn into it. I mean yeah. And that wonderful music by Bernard Herrmann. Absolutely. It's just great. The whole of the bus stop scene with the crop spraying is just, you need to watch that over and over. You go, that's how you make a film. It's just all about nothing happening. And you go, Herman. What's yeah. He's the one that did the Psycho soundtrack. That's classic stuff. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. I think he did just about he did the music. Taxi Driver too. Yeah. He did. That was his last score, wasn't he? Which is great as a score. I hate the film, but the the music's great.
The, he did loads of work with Hitchcock. Tons of it. All of it. Vertigo, all of those things, the rear window,

You never know. No. It might be. How did Cary Grant keep his hair in one piece throughout North by Northwest? It's incredible. When they even with a crop spray, his hair was still immaculate. Wasn't it? Super cool. Absolutely immaculate.
[01:52:58] Unknown:
But it was the nineteen fifties, Eric. They had, brill cream or whatever, didn't they? It's fine. They had fop hair pomade.

Pomade. What a lovely word. Elvis Elvis used shoe polish.
[01:53:12] Unknown:
Why not?
[01:53:14] Unknown:
And did you know Cary Grant, he had a weird accent because it was hard because he was from Bristol in in England. So he's half American, half Bristol. That's why it's a bit strange, his accent. But, you know, yeah, he was cool, wasn't he? See, lots of cool what about David Niven? Now he was not that cool, but he was sort of cool, wasn't he? He spoke well. He was very good. Yes. And Orson Welles when he was younger. Mhmm. Orson Welles in The Third Man, who he acted a part of a psychopath, he did it brilliantly. He really pulled it off well. And I thought their acting was superb.

That's right. The Swiss have had peace for five hundred years. And what did they create? The cuckoo clock. That's how it ends. That's it?
[01:55:09] Unknown:
Did you know he wrote that line? Yeah. He actually wrote that line because he didn't like the line he had, so he wrote it especially. He was a bossy shit, wasn't he, really?
[01:55:18] Unknown:
He was. A nasty piece of work. Yeah. No. He's he's fantastic. I love him. I think he's fantastic. Particularly, I've got those clips of him drunk recording the Demek Sherry advert. Oh, that's right. Yes. Remember all the Sherry that he did, whatever it was? Was it Demek? I can't remember. Yeah. You see some of the outtakes. They're brilliant.

It's hilarious. Fantastic stuff.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
[01:56:25] Unknown:
The shadow of the pros.
[01:56:29] Unknown:
Blue calls presents The Shadow. A man of mystery who strikes terror in the very souls of sharpsters, lawbreakers, and criminals.
[01:56:38] Unknown:
Yeah. No. That's what he was that's that's what got him famous right there. The shadow. It is. The radio Sounds like Vincent Price, though. Was that Vincent Price? No. No. No. It's It's from the the thirties, the early thirties, I think. It was. Yeah. About '35, '30 '6, I think he start it went on for years, the shadow. I love the shadow. I bought lots of the paperbacks over here when they came out. Written by a chap who went under the name of Maxwell Grant and, he used to write this is the pulp fiction era in The States with weird tales and true detective stories and all this stuff, you know. It's where Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler cut their teeth, I think, initially, writing short stories and things like that. But The Shadow was massive. It's basically the Batman is based on The Shadow. It's basically it's almost like a copy cut, you know, Lamont Cranston. Yeah. Yeah. So The Shadow is played in real life, he's Lamont Cranston, very wealthy, gad about town, you know, with a beautiful Margot Lane always on his arm and stuff. But secretly, he's got the power of an Eastern mystic and he can hypnotize men's minds and he's out there fighting crime with two what I always liked about is he had two semiautomatic pistols. I don't know what guns he used but he just shot people to bits, which is much more realistic, isn't it, to be quite honest?
And, the author look at my mind full of piffle. The author was a guy called I went under the name of Maxwell Grant. He wrote something like 300 novels and he used to, I think he was based in New York or Chicago. So he's in some big city but when he wrote he used to drive out often into the countryside. There's a story of him where he was having a log cabin built for him as a writing retreat because he needed to get away from everything when he was writing And he carried in his, trunk, I think it was four typewriters. Now I don't know what the make would have been. What was the preeminent make of typewriter in America at the time? What would have been? It's very it'd be very important. Me that. I I know it's real all these things. No. It's Why don't you know, Patrick? This is why you're on the show. I I rely on you for this complete Adlers were the top. Adlers were the top typewriters.
Well, whatever it was, it's an industrial strength, you know, one of these big he had four. He had four in the boot of his car and used to carry around in the huge reams of paper, hundreds and hundreds of sheets. And there's a story of him. When they're building this cabin, he had a deadline to meet. So he sat on his desk typing out a shadow whilst they built the cabin around him. There's no roof. They're putting all the things in, hammering away. It's just a brilliant story, and he could just churn it out. I read some of them. They were pretty good. Mike Brampton used to listen to The Shadow when he was a youngster. That's what he told me.
[01:59:17] Unknown:
And it started out with Orson Welles, and it was just after he had done War of the Worlds, where they did the whole psychological, warfare thing on people to get them to believe that we'd actually been taken over by aliens. Of h g h g Wells story.
[01:59:35] Unknown:
Yes. What about the Twilight Zone? Panic. Rod Sterling. Do you remember what about the Twilight Zone with Rod Sterling? Yeah. Because, I don't think we got that series in this country. So I I mean, I only found out about it about a year or two back, and it's on YouTube. That's how I found out about it. You've never heard of it. Wow. Twilight Zone. I hadn't heard it before two years ago, The Twilight Zone with Rod Sterling. No. Because I don't think it was aired in in The UK.
[02:00:00] Unknown:
The outer limits was
[02:00:03] Unknown:
that You know who did the theme song? Bernard Herrmann.
[02:00:07] Unknown:
Really?
[02:00:08] Unknown:
Hey. We're at the end of the show. Look. Stop this. You gotta stop that right now. I've got to say goodbye to everybody on WBM because I fell asleep at the wheel. Good grief. What an ass. Thank you everybody for listening to us at WBN. This has been a show about, something that happened eighty years ago, VE Day and film club. It turned into film club, and it's gonna carry on. If you want to listen to us head over to Paul English live, don't go to rumble it's broken for us, they don't like us. Go to YouTube. We're gonna play a song. We'll see you the same time next week. Oh, I'm such a chump with this stuff. But we'll be back with everybody after the break and, that's what we're gonna hey look, I got this little cool song by, what's his name? Clint Westwood, so we better play this. We'll see you after this tune and we'll be back on WBN next week. Bye for now everyone.
Well, I hope you've all lit your churoots or your little cigars and you've got your ponies out and all that kind of stuff and have been cleaning up your ponchos. That was obviously from that old Clint Westwood film A Fistful of Dollars. And I was holding A Fistful of Dollars whilst I was listening to it just to really get in the mood. Anyway, so there we go, cowboy time. And I also want to welcome to the studio, Maleficus. Thomas still seems to be having a bit of a problem finding his microphone or something. But hi, Maleficos. Welcome to the show. How are you doing this fine evening, and what's it like in your neck of the woods?
[02:04:18] Unknown:
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much for having me on the show. Happy Lamentable VE Day is all I can say. Yes. Thank you. Who who who won it? Who won?
[02:04:31] Unknown:
Who won?
[02:04:32] Unknown:
Well, I don't know. I think the jury's still out. They're probably having a v t VTR replay review or something, but I don't think it was us, Maleficus. I don't know what you think, but I I don't see much sign of not too much winning
[02:04:44] Unknown:
in real terms. One of my one of my favorite quotes actually regarding this is by David Irving, and that is, if the men storming the the Normandy Beaches on D Day had seen what Britain was like today, they wouldn't have gone 20 paces up the beach.
[02:05:02] Unknown:
Now that's good.
[02:05:05] Unknown:
That is good. Why would they? Well, I don't think they'd have even got on the boats, to be honest.
[02:05:11] Unknown:
Right. No. Well, I don't think they had any idea where they were going when they got on the boats. So Britain had the VE day to Normandy.
[02:05:21] Unknown:
Surely.
[02:05:23] Unknown:
Okay. So so Britain had VE day, which is victory
[02:05:28] Unknown:
for England? In Europe Day. Victory in Europe. Europe. Okay. Obviously, we discount the I because in is a is a sort of, you know, a a point.
[02:05:38] Unknown:
Well, we had a VJ day, which is near as I can figure was victory for the Jews because that's how it worked out.
[02:05:50] Unknown:
Gosh. I don't think we can say that on YouTube, but that's the end of this channel, Paul. That's the end of this. I've just lost rumble. You've just blown us off of YouTube. Two and three. What have I got to do next week? It's outrageous.
[02:06:03] Unknown:
There was a reason why it was called Operation Overlord, and I believe Bernard Baroque actually funded the whole thing.
[02:06:13] Unknown:
Bernard Baroque. Yeah. He was he was our, our man on the ground. South Carolina
[02:06:21] Unknown:
out of his own private savings, Maleficus. Is that what you're suggesting? He wasn't on the ground at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't wouldn't have been around No. He failed. The first guys that stormed the Normandy Beaches didn't make it 20 paces up the beach.
[02:06:34] Unknown:
Oh, no. He was he was well aware well well away from the action. What was it? Ben Hecht. He told Ben Hecht that he he was gonna be the guy in the bushes a long distance away with a long gun sniping people. That's that's his attitude of how he
[02:06:51] Unknown:
he conducted business. In in the bushes somewhere in Texas.
[02:06:56] Unknown:
Right.
[02:06:59] Unknown:
It's a big country. It's quite hard to find you in Texas. Yeah. You've gone a little quiet, Maleficus. You were quite Oh, sorry. Overpoweringly loud at the beginning, but you're a little quiet right now. Just thought I'd let you know. I I moved the microphone away just because I didn't want to snort over it. I'm sorry.
[02:07:14] Unknown:
What? You're not on the cocaine again, are you? What's going on? What?
[02:07:19] Unknown:
I didn't mean it in that respect, sir.
[02:07:22] Unknown:
No. No. They never do. He was so he was so already sniff of the tongue. They always say that afterwards. I know. He was celebrating the Peruvian pope.
[02:07:31] Unknown:
Yeah. I've actually I've I've gotta be honest. It's I was I was on Eric Gajewski's show earlier just as the news broke that the the Vatican had a new pope. And and Eric Kajewski referred to him as an anti pope. Yeah. That sounds like Eric. I don't know whether that's the case at all. But, yeah. Well, I mean, it's it's a bit odd, I think, that you you have a pope that was born or or comes from America. Should not the pope come from Italy? Is is that not the case? I know I know we had one that was, a member of the Hitler youth in his younger years at one point. Yeah. Pope Benedict. The la the second the one that retired
[02:08:17] Unknown:
in 2013. Oh. That was that was that was an interesting case because that involved, I don't know if you know who, Bishop Richard Williamson was. Yes. I do. Yes. He passed away recently, didn't he? Yeah. And I think it had to do with the Williamson affair. He, was caught in Germany denying the, some hoax that was really big back in the the day.
[02:08:46] Unknown:
Yeah. I I remember that. I I remember the footage. I I remember seeing the footage that he was hoisted by in actual fact. And he and he said during that interview, I I I'm aware that I'm not allowed to speak about these things, you know, in the province that I am. I hope it's not your intention to, you know, haul me over the coals on this. And, obviously, he was hauled over the coals regarding that little speech that he gave.
[02:09:18] Unknown:
Yeah. And then, it was shortly after that because what he'd hit done, what Pope Benedict, who was known as, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was the not the Hitler youth, pope. He he had, reinstated Bishop Williamson. He he had previously been excommunicated, and he reinstated him. And shortly after that, that that interview was released to the public, which was aired originally on Swedish television, or was meant for Swedish television, but it was off the record. So you know he didn't he didn't think it was going to be used but they whipped that out and it was a few months after that I think he resigned that pope benedict resigned which is unfortunate because if he had just said well I think it's true and what were they going to do arrest the pope in Germany for denial as what's her face Deborah Lipstadt would call it denial so yeah
[02:10:25] Unknown:
it
[02:10:27] Unknown:
We we you you gotta admit that, that had some a big thing to do with Benedict resigning, and then Pope Francis being elected.
[02:10:35] Unknown:
I wasn't aware of that situation, actually. I didn't realize the the, the conjunction. I I didn't realize that that was, linked
[02:10:45] Unknown:
at all. Yeah. It was it was shortly after that took place where he reinstated the, what was called the Society of Saint Pius the tenth, which is based out of Switzerland. And he reinstated them, or at least gave them an opportunity to be reinstated, which I think Williamson refused it, which was which was not good for him. And it was kind of a cowardly act, in fact. I I I looked down on Williamson for having not accepted it, because he should've he should've, and it would've set a precedent because he had nothing to fear. But he didn't he didn't accept it, and as a consequence, we we we've got people pussy pussyfooting around history
[02:11:34] Unknown:
Yeah. As a consequence. I mean, really, I mean, we VE Day is about honoring the fallen, really. And I think, honestly, I I I stated last night on Shelley's show that the best way to honor the fallen is to look at both sides of history. Because I'm sure there's a whole load of the fallen, quote unquote, up there right now going, oh my me. I didn't realize that with the score. Hopefully, somebody looks into this. You know? Yeah. It it it's it's it's one of those it's one of those situations. Look, I'm all for the troops. I'm all for all the guys that fought on all sides. You know, I'm all for the Russians. I'm all for the French. I'm all for the British. I'm all for the Germans because, as as, you know, throughout history, it's it's always the the little man that that bears the brunt of political decisions.
I've recently been reading through the, the truth about the Christmas truce in 1914. Obviously, they were all told that they would be home before Christmas on both sides. How does that work? They were all told they'd be home before Christmas and the war wouldn't last for very long and there we go. And, come December in 1914, a lot of the guys were sort of, you know, wanting to celebrate Christmas. It is the most holy point of the year for, you know, for every Christian country, you know, is the Christmas time. And, you know, I've read some harrowing accounts of the guys that were, you know, basically, you know, on on opposites, you know, on opposite sides. And they were they were minded at the time to sort of, you know, light up candles and light up Christmas trees and put them on the top of the trenches, which, you know, you wouldn't do. It gives you away it gives away your position and all that kind of thing, you know.
But, I think they all genuinely believed that they would be home by Christmas. And, therefore, when Christmas came, there was a little bit of solidarity between the two sides. I've one harrowing account I read was, a guy had been round collecting, bulbs from torches. Now, obviously, these bulbs had been collected from torches of the fallen, and he strung a load of these little bulbs together with batteries and planted them on a little Christmas tree and went out into the middle of no man's land and lit up the tree and crawled his way back. And, there was no need to crawl what crawl back because nobody wanted to fire at that particular point in time.
It this whole VE day thing for me is it leaves me a little bit of a low ebb purely because, well, purely because these guys didn't actually know what they were fighting for. They were there purely out of patriotism and purely out of, purely out of what was expected of them. You know, during the beginning of the first World War, women used to go around handing out white feathers to men that weren't in uniform to it, to in, to to sort of insinuate that they were cowards. Shame them. To shame them. Because if you weren't playing the game, it just wasn't cricket. And, you know, you had to stand up for yourself. You know, nobody really knew what they were fighting for.
They literally just went out to fight because they felt that it was the right thing to do. And come World War II, crikey, you know, you'd think that society would have learned its lesson but no, the propaganda engine, the cogs start turning and the media starts putting out all these ideas and feeds them into people's minds rather like the COVID era. You know, we're running short of toilet roll, folks. Quick. Go out and stock up on toilet roll. You know, it's it's such a it's such a travesty when you when you look at the amount of you this this umpteen, videos on YouTube that you can go and look at that that are testimonies of veterans of the time.
Not necessarily World War one, but World War two. And the the viciousness of war was was not really obvious to them until they actually got there. And there was a the the I played a clip last night of a guy who was on a naval vessel, and he said, we were firing at full range just to keep the Germans off the beach, you know. And he said, I was watching our guys go in. And he said, you know, I thought some guy tripped and fallen and, no, the poor bugger had been shot. And he started to well up. Yeah. Oh, just yeah. I'm a bit of a low ebb, I must say, purely because VA VE day for me does not feel like a victory, especially now in 2025 when I'm looking at you know, I got sent a meme by, our mutual friend Gary, and it had a picture of all the folks on the beach because the weather's been beautiful in The UK over the last two weeks. And I had a picture of all the people going down to the beach and sunbathing and swimming and stuff. And it had a little message at the top just saying, the UK government has asked that people stay at home this weekend because the boats will have nowhere to land.
Anyway, I was gonna start this this conversation by saying, did I fire six shots or only five?
[02:18:06] Unknown:
I don't know. I'll tell you what though. Your microphone's still pretty quiet. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know why. You are. We're all it's all quite whispery. I've turned you up as full as much as I can at this end. There's not much more I can do. As much as I can with my end. I mean, do you do shouting down there in your neck? You could just start shouting. That's always pretty good. But you you probably don't want to do that. But, yeah. No. I think all of the things that you're saying, Maleficus, I agree with completely. I mean, it is a it's a low ebb thing. I the the thing I'm sort of I'm personally thinking about most is if we want to look at why we're in the state we're in today, we have to look at the deception that was taking place, you know, in the press, for want of a better word, back then. And, of course, that was not the first time that people's understanding has been abused. Ours is being abused right now.
And, yet the reporting that we get on the events is still as asinine and as stupid as it was then because it's not addressing the core issues, which we know what they are. But if no one's gonna talk about them, no one can knows quite how to fix them. Maybe when you even know them, it's very difficult to know just how to fix these things purely because the rest of the crowd are addicted to the story that they've got. And it's very difficult, I understand this, to shake that story out of people's mental tree. I have the same difficulty as well with regards to things. You have to just take your time, but it's it's as if time is not the thing that we have in great abundance. And, I've I I agree with everything you said. All of them on all of the sides were killing one another. A brother's war completely avoidable, except it turned out not to be avoidable because certain forces that have still got a degree an unholy degree of control over the affairs of us, brought it about.
It's not, you know, it's not necessarily the case that the Germans are completely innocent. We've mentioned that before, but I've always held the view that if you were to try and pick out who was least at fault, it would be them and by a considerable margin purely because any nation surrounded by lots of other hostile nations that developed a strong economy that then found it was getting hammered, what would you do? And under the circumstances, they did that. This may sound as though I'm an apologist for all that stuff. And, of course, you get involved in lots of heated debates with people who have got the view that they've got, the established view. It's just that they haven't read it from both sides. Most people haven't.
[02:20:26] Unknown:
And, and and it makes people are easily deceived. That's the problem. You can really fool people.
[02:20:32] Unknown:
It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled. This is true. There was an author there was an author called, Harry Cooper. He wrote about, Hitler in Argentina. I don't believe any of that nonsense. I gotta be honest. But, he said, let us remember that all the war heroes were on the winning side. And all the war criminals were on the side that lost. Amazing. Isn't it?
[02:20:58] Unknown:
Mhmm. Yep.
[02:21:00] Unknown:
Yeah. It is amazing. The winners get to write the history.
[02:21:04] Unknown:
That's exactly it. Of course. Beware the beware the victor's version. Yeah. Reminds me of Peter Hammond saying that,
[02:21:12] Unknown:
wartime propaganda is is peacetime school textbooks.
[02:21:16] Unknown:
Exact Yes. That's Yeah. Beware the victor's version. Definitely.
[02:21:24] Unknown:
There we know. Yeah. That's true. I wanted to, I wanted, play you a clip from something sort of unrelated to this. Actually, it's sort of related to it. It's to do with, group psychology as it were, how we think in groups and to do with what people's priorities really are. This is going over into the financial realm a bit, but I think that the thread's there. It's always there really. You can just tack finance into anything you're talking about. It'll always make sense because you find out that it's right underneath, you know, it's the foulest thing under the last stone that you turn over. Oh, bankers. I see. And it's never really a surprise. Have any of you caught the interview that Tucker Carlson did recently with Catherine Austin Fitts?
Anybody know that? I I I'm aware of noble parties, but Yeah. No. I haven't caught it. I'm aware of Yeah. Well, I I I'd strongly recommend. It's about an hour and forty minutes. I'm gonna play all of it now. No. I'm not. I've just got a clip from it that I wanted to play. She's, sharp as attack, that lady. I don't necessarily agree with her. Again, I'm sorry. Same on both Biden, by the way. Yeah. Did they? Shoppers attack. Really? Okay. Well, I don't know what to say about that. But, the interview is interesting from the point of view that Carlson is genuinely surprised by many of the things she says. Now anybody that's done a cursory sort of level of inquiry, you won't be too much, but she comes up with some, really, I think some pretty strong insights about stuff about what they're up to and her view, and she has a great deal of experience.
This is something towards the end and it's to do with a presentation she was making about well, I'll just play it and you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about. It's about how people will always go for their own best interests no matter how much good could come out of it on the other side. Just I don't know how long this is. Couple of minutes, I think.
[02:23:14] Unknown:
So I'm in the middle of the speech, and there are about a hundred people. And we're the conference that where I'm speaking is, a conference that happens once a year by this group, and the focus is on how we evolve our society spiritually. So this is a very spiritually committed group of people who want to evolve our society spiritually. Okay. So I'm describing the, the fact that a spokesperson for the Department of Justice told this reporter I was helping that The US economy launders 500,000,000,000 to a trillion dollars a year of all illegal money. So that's narcotics trafficking, that's financial fraud, that's, you know, everything. It's human trafficking.
And, and the number is now much much bigger, but they were describing the fact that The US economy and financial system is the leader globally in laundering dirty money. So I said to this wonderful group of, spiritually of all people, what would happen if we stopped being the global leader in money laundering? And we had a little conversation. They said, well, you know, the money would leave the New York Stock Exchange and go to Singapore or Zurich or London, and and we'd have we might have trouble financing the government deficit because we, you know, now we borrow over half of the money currently. And and so we we you know, our taxes might go up or our government checks might stop. So I said, okay. Let's pretend there's a big red button up here on the lectern. And if you push that button, you can stop all hard hard narcotics trafficking in your town, your county, your state tomorrow, thus offending the people who control 500,000,000,000 to a trillion dollars a year of all dirty money in the accumulated capital they're on.
Who here will push the button? And out of a hundred people dedicated to evolving our society spiritually, guess how many would push the button? I don't know. One. The other 99 would not push the button. So I said keep all those kids from dying? Yeah. It would. So wait. So so I said to them I said, why would you not push the button? So we had a little conversation. They said, we don't want our taxes to go up. We don't want our government checks to stop, and we don't want our four zero one k's and IRAs to go down.
[02:25:35] Unknown:
And isn't that a key part of the hurdle that we face with all this stuff? I think I think the key word you said there doesn't involve the LE. It's the herd. It's the not wanting to be separated from the herd and it's the not wanting to,
[02:25:51] Unknown:
rock the boat because life is so hard anyway. Can can you play the last ten seconds of that again? I'll shoot.
[02:26:00] Unknown:
You you were snorting cocaine again. Is that what you're saying? No. I wanna hear it. There's something interesting, she said. Okay. Hang on. Let's just see what we go. So I'm in the middle of the speech. Okay. And we're about I said Last bit.
[02:26:14] Unknown:
Why would you not push the button? So we had a little conversation. They said, we don't want our taxes to go up. We don't want our government checks to stop, and we don't want our four zero one k's and IRAs to go down.
[02:26:27] Unknown:
Interesting.
[02:26:28] Unknown:
It's about fear of loss.
[02:26:30] Unknown:
Right.
[02:26:31] Unknown:
And everybody's committed to this financial system even though they don't understand how it works, even though they may sense it's robbing them because they're thinking, well, so how is it possible to change that? It might not be. It just might not be possible to stay to to change it to a sufficient degree. I suppose so many people, they go, well, I've got a comfy life.
[02:26:54] Unknown:
Yeah. I was gonna say she make
[02:26:56] Unknown:
well, of course it is. And one of the points she makes, it's not in that clip, which is a really salient point, and I kinda mentioned it a bit in that little speech thing about our children. She said no civilization ever got wealthy harming its kids. You just can't. Yeah. So if the orientation is not towards enshrining the family as the absolute pinnacle point of why we're having a civilized life or trying to, What's the point of it? And, of course, what's occurred is there's been this movement into people effectively, whether they know it or not, hanging out in the Temple Of Mammon. It's unconscious now because they have to because there's this demand for money from them because, you know, the government keep putting everything up, which in our case is absolutely the case.
Yeah. So this has got some bit people have got to have some kind of an insight, and maybe that's such a big ask that needs to be done on such a big scale that it's very difficult to know it could be achieved. It could be achieved if you were in power, but only momentarily because then the creditor class would do a Julius Caesar on you, and you'd end up with 50 knives in your back. Yeah. Well, the loss a loss of the government goodies
[02:28:04] Unknown:
is, exactly how they have frightened people away from expatriation. It's, oh, well, if you're an expatriate, you don't get your social security, you don't get any of the benefits, you don't get any help at all, And you basically are a man without a country, and it just terrifies people. I said, woah. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll continue to be enslaved.
[02:28:27] Unknown:
Just don't take away my Take away all my freedoms. Take away all my freedoms and leave me with my creature comforts. Isn't that what happened during the COVID era? Leave me with my colored TV and my microwave dinners. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And and the thing is, you go out for a walk in the countryside and you realize how beautiful the world is and you don't need any of that stuff. Yep. Right. People aren't walking in the countryside enough, Maleficus, I would suggest. I I would suggest exactly the same. You know, I spend my entire life working with nature. But I spent I I'm a gardener as a by trade. Alright. It sounds very fancy. I spend my entire life working with nature. No. I'm a gardener.
But you know what? Regardless of how you want to, portray it, the Lord provides. The Lord provides. And, you know, this the whole basis it's you know, my granddad did a speech back in 1936 in, the the Bon Accord Congregational Church of Aberdeen. And he talked about manufactured shortage. And, it's about, accepting man's policy over God's. You know, and, you know, he he even said in the speech, you know, I've heard even people even criticizing God for their losses. You know, it's because they're accepting man's policy, not God's.
Now Yep. I wouldn't profess to be a practicing Christian or anything like that, but I'm very well aware that, you know, as George Carlin said, you know, when the world's done with us, it will shake us off like a bad case of fleas. Yes. You know? And it will. You know, the fact of the matter is is peep you know, like I say, people, you know, leave me my creature comforts. You can take away all the, all, all the freedoms you want as long as I've got my iPhone and my TV, I've got my Internet access and I can and I can communicate with the herd that speak exactly the same as I do and I will speak exactly the same way as they do so that I will be accepted. You know, I've spent probably the last ten, fifteen years not being very accepted, in society because of my views. You know, I've lost a lot of friends over my views.
But, by God, I've got to stick by them. I really am. Mhmm. Because there is nothing left on this planet for us if you rely on man.
[02:31:09] Unknown:
This is true.
[02:31:11] Unknown:
I have, I have a herd and, they speak just like me and actually a whole lot better because they come up with stuff I never even dreamed of. Expose yourself to people that are larger than life that are Yeah. Lionesses. Blans and lionesses.
[02:31:33] Unknown:
Well, you're going back to the whole war thing. With, you know, there's a there's a line out of the myth of German villainy. I can't remember who wrote it now. Bradbury. Bradbury. That's the one. And and, you know, he was talking about, you know, the second World War. And he said, let us not forget that we did this to a people who were exactly like ourselves. So, you know, had we been left to our own devices, it would never have occurred.
[02:32:07] Unknown:
Oh, well, no. It's the same with, the current Ukrainian, Russian, skirmish.
[02:32:14] Unknown:
Yeah. It's a brother's war. Yeah. It's a brother's war. Of course it is. And, and it's the same playbook, as world war two. Oh, the Danzig Corridor and the people in Danzig are being massacred. Oh, the people in the Donbass are being massacred. We'll have to go in. You know? It's the same playbook, the same excuse. And, you know, I've said it so many times before. People are probably getting bored of me saying it. But, you know, if Russia was the big Russian bear that we're we're told that it is and it's this big offensive, you know, why didn't they just go in and get the job done and take over the Donbas region?
Instead, what they've done is turned it into a long and protracted war which has sold off Ukraine to his supposed, Putin's supposed enemies. Putin is enabling his supposed enemies to buy up Ukraine at a rate of knots. And it's the same playbook. The the Donbas, the Danzig Corridor, you know, it's it's a load of nonsense.

It's an absolute It's a bankers war. It's a bankers war. As they all as every single one has to be. They're the common denominator in every single one of these engagements. I have a great quote for you. Yeah. I've got a great quote for you from my granddad.
[02:33:36] Unknown:
Right. So, the author of the book was a regular soldier who served with distinction in the South African War and the First World War. When he retired from the army due to wounds received on active service, he settled down in an English country village and began to study politics and economics. He wanted to know why honest Tommy Atkins had been compelled to fight peaceful Boer farmers and enable an international diamond syndicate to gain control of the South African mines. Why 10,000,000 men should have been slaughtered in the First World War described as the war to end all wars when the subsequent peace treaty, the Treaty of Versailles, so obviously sowed the seeds for a second and more terrible conflict.
And, and the next two are really important. Why the banks of the world create money lavishly out of nothing to finance these wars and yet for peace credit is immediately restricted. And why when the Second World War came to defend the rights of small nations such as Poland, Polish guarantee, these small nations were sold by their allies into a slavery worse than death. You know, economic slavery. It is a slavery worse than death. And we're we're all, you know, we're all sort of party to it in in in in varying degrees, but I would suggest that most of the general populace are so enslaved to it that they're scared to look outside the box. That's the biggest the biggest problem we have is the fear induced by the media, by the government, amongst our brethren, amongst the people that should be our allies, and they're not because they're scared to be.
[02:35:27] Unknown:
This is true. Yeah. It's always been true in a way. The crowd is easily stampeded into doing something mad once it's told that if it doesn't do this mad thing, then it's gonna be even worse than the mad thing's gonna be. It's always, oh, it's gonna be terrible if we don't do this. Go and have the charge. I think there are just there are justifiable wars. I think, you know, your take on the Ukraine thing is absolutely spot on, really. There's no reason why Russia couldn't have taken me over. I mean, I don't know. If we say that Putin is an honorable man, and I'm not saying that. I'm just throwing it out there because I think they're all in that. Every single one of them. I don't know if Putin's a Mason, but would we be surprised if he was? I don't think we would.
Would we? Really? I mean, what's happened there? He's been in power for an awful long time. He had those oligarchs basically buy up Russia and ransack it. This is akin to the carpetbaggers after the civil war in The US. It's the same sort of thing. They just went in there and just picked everything up for a song. They made billions. They then park it all in London with their mates in the city of London. So we get all these Russian oligarchs rocking up, you know, with their bodyguards and pouncing about and all this kind of stuff. And, now the Ukrainian people who are basically Russians, it's just like it's same relation to Russia as Cornwall is to England. A distinct culture but definitely connected.
But, of course, it's impossible not to be and the history is a good one. Well, I don't know if I agree with that but you're Well, good. I'm glad you don't. Maybe we can, we can use the last twenty minutes for a blazing row about something or other but I don't know how to get into the mood right now. But, yeah. It's why would it be so long and protracted? There is no reason other than to afford and give all this time for all this. I don't know. Maybe to assist, old you know, I I don't know what an insult. Like, the guy that's in charge of the Ukraine, Zelenskyy. Time to keep plundering the coffers of other western nations as he pleads for more help. We shouldn't give a penny to it.
And sniffs calls you. It's none of our damn business, but it is it's the business of the city and we are enrolled into these things. I mean the thing is people don't even know they're enslaved because they don't this is my oh, a take on it. They don't know that they're enslaved because they don't know that you can question this sort of stuff. They're not even in the habit of questioning things. If you listen if you listen to the media and some of it is good, but it's got a thing in common. It never addresses the elephant in the room. It's never done it ever in my life. It's too acclimatized to just accepting
[02:37:59] Unknown:
authority
[02:38:00] Unknown:
as Of course it does. As Yeah. As though the media were the ultimate authority and be all and end all of it. Yeah. Well, the They've set the parameters for thought and discussion. They say this is that we're the media. Look, we're this newspaper. See, the other newspapers doing the same stuff as us. This is obviously the most important stuff. So there's this sort of agreement that's built up in terms of the news space that these are the matters that really count. Hardly any of them count. We could put the news on from forty years ago and it would be just as relevant in many cases as it is today. I know that's an asinine thing in one regard, but what I'm saying is the tone and approach of it is exactly the same. It's about the, inducing fear into the viewer, a concern, and for which ultimately, nearly all cases, nine out of ten, the solution is we need a bit more government.
Oh, we do. That'd help, wouldn't it? We need a few more regulations. Why don't we pass some laws? Why don't someone make a big speech and nothing will happen? Nothing ever happens because it can't. It's not designed to happen. And and it's getting people used to the fact that they must they've got to stop voting for a start. Voting is like a seal of approval on yourself that you're quite willing to be enslaved. It's complete madness. Absolutely. I mean, we've got this situation over here now where, you know, we're told all the labor are tanking in the opinion polls. Well, you know, I think they tanked almost the day they walked in. I mean, it's just insane that they're even there. But this has been a long term plan. The conservatives were designed to be useless for the last ten years of their whatever. I mean, they've been useless most of the time anyway. And now labor coming and now we've got reform lined up. That's exactly. Okay. We've got old Nige with his pints of beer and his cheery manner and he and he has got a cheery manner and I won't mind having a beer with him. Lots of fun. Leader of the country? Oh dear. I don't think so. And, what did I I think Peter Hitchens called them what did he call Reform? He thought they were like a boy band. He thought they were like Margaret Thatcher Light. I think he's what he called them. I thought it was very I thought it was very accurate. They are.
They they are. There are some really heavy topics to be talked about, like race, like the repatriation of everybody that's like, why do mosques exist at all on our footprint? You wanna be a Muslim? That's fine. But you can't be one in my home. But it's not my home now. I find out it's not mine. That's just it's only mine when I've got to fight for it. Fight to protect your homeland. But when you've done that and you've either come back in one piece or you haven't come back at all, then you find out that it's not yours again. Well, going back to VE day going back to VE day, you know,
[02:40:34] Unknown:
they that all those guys went out to fight and how many lives, how many British lives were lost in the second World War? And, you know, what what has it resulted in? Who's who's war was it? Who won?
[02:40:49] Unknown:
Well, and then when Vietnam was going on, why did we jump off a gold standard and hop into the petrodollar and make Saudi Arabia rich? What what's the what is the deal with it? I I find it interesting that, we now have the first American pope, and he's the first pope to come from an English speaking country since Adrian the fourth, who was he was, the only Englishman to be Pope, Adrian IV, back in he died in November. This is gonna be quite interesting, having an English Pope. And I just wanna read what E. Michael Jones said about the election of him. He says he says, if nominum estomen, then Pope Leo the fourteenth is planning to follow in the footsteps of Pope Leo the thirteenth who wrote encyclicals condemning Freemasonry, Americanism, and the capitalist exploitation of labor while at the same time making Thomism the official philosophy of the Catholic church.
He was also instrumental in the creation of Civilta Cattolica, which published a three part series on the Jewish question in 1890. So it'll be interesting and I don't I don't think it's without consequence that he chose that name Leo the fourteenth to continue on But, I'm hopeful though, you know, we could be we could, we might find out differently but I'm I'm pretty helpful about this selection. And the fact that he speaks English is interest very interesting because it's perfect English. It's it's like you and me. It's that kind of you you can understand him, which is you haven't had that like it said here in a thousand years. We're in interesting times.
[02:42:42] Unknown:
Yeah. I guess we are. I guess we're in very interesting times. Well, maybe if people could become even moderately aware of the damaging role that a privately owned central bank plays in their lives, like it's the dominant one, the one that they're completely unaware of, It might be possible to do something about it. I and then you go out into the world and you see the sheer scale of life. There's a lot of people around. Their ability to threaten any country must be considerable, and they can threaten it very quickly, like in a matter of hours
[02:43:21] Unknown:
with election. Played their hands, though. They you you see with the massacres that are going on in West Asia, and it's just it's beyond the pale that people can't you can't keep this stuff hidden anymore. You you gotta thank God for the Internet that we all can speak together like we are right now, and just think this is an amazing time we're living in.
[02:43:45] Unknown:
And It is an amazing time. Thank God. It is. I mean, I I keep thinking about what what's best to focus on. I think it's not possible to not be aware of all this stuff. And all of us here will spend part of our day grazing it and consuming it. But just coming back to taking walks in the countryside as counterpoint, it's absolutely vital that we get reminded that there is beauty in this world and that's really what we're here to actually pursue. And I think it provides an energy to you in terms of your one to one relations with anybody that you meet. There's so many good people around but we won't be able to remain behaving well if this beast of a thing keeps smashing people up, bullying them with literally there are no there's no sort of, punishment for them. They're not in any danger.
And to point it out is an arduous task. So contra you know, gaining communications footholds like we did a rumble. I mean, this is not even a big channel, you know, it's not at all. No. You know, we don't use video feeds. If we did, we'd probably get more viewers and we'd need to do more things and I'm thinking about all of those sorts of things as well. But, if you look at many of the, alternative channels that have sprung up particularly over these last five years during the COVID thing, it is literally about promoting of fear and anxiety.
Yes. The all this stuff, the banks are going to collapse. Okay. Well, I know that anyway. Do this. Do that. What about this? The price of gold's going up. None of these things are fundamentally relevant. They're not because they're actually part they're kind of a ploy to say, look, you could wheedle your way out of this problem for a while if you do this. This is not dealing with the problem at all. The problem is is that or part of the problem is the ability for us to unify. We're not very good at it at the moment and we need to improve on that score. There needs to be a unifying framework purely from the point of view that they on the other side, small in number, and with a lot of power can do that. And you have to sort of break down where you think their power is. Well, I guess it's in great part because when they issue an instruction or do a thing, so many people are going to follow it because they've never really questioned it either. And I don't care what level of power that they're at, They too have become reliant upon, dependent upon their paymaster, whoever it is. And the consequences for them at the higher levels are probably even more dangerous. You know, they get poisoned, killed, stabbed, or bumped off, or their family will get threatened. This stuff goes on all the time. I mean, it just does. It does. It does. Look, I mean, I I I know a few people that are
[02:46:25] Unknown:
I know a few people. One one of the guys, recently said to me, he said, you know, you ought to be a bit careful about what you say on the radio. He said, you know, he said, you know, they won't knock on your door. They'll put it through. And he said, it's not what happens to you. It's what happens to your family afterwards. You know, you might be in prison and and and serving your time but your your family will be economically, attacked. You know, this is the thing look, Charity starts at home. Charity literally starts at home right outside your front door. One of the best things I ever did was get a dog. That sounds silly, but it it forced me to go out walking in the countryside. And I bump into various people like the one that said that.
Living in my local community and, you know, it it's about reaching a consensus on your local community. One of the guys that I, one one of the guys that I met over the last couple of years, he said, oh, no. He said he said, I'm not into politics. He said, like, my dad's into politics. He he said it just he said it it's destroyed him. He's he spends he spends his whole life looking at it. He said, I think everything should just be organized in parishes. And I said, do you know what, mate? I said, I think you're absolutely right. Everything should be organized in parishes because it would stop the centralization.
It would stop the the tick box scenario, the the fact that one size should fit all, and you have to be accepting of this, and you have to be accepting of that. You know, all the taxes that have been bought in on alright. Some people may not agree with alcohol, but all the taxes that have been bought in on alcohol, etcetera, etcetera, have killed and like things like the smoking ban which came in, like, over a decade ago now. But all these things have destroyed pubs. And what were pubs really for? They were a hub of the local community where everyone would get together and bang the world to rights. And they'd reach a consensus amongst themselves as a local community to the point where, if you actually had a local Bobby, a local policeman for those overseas, if you actually had a local policeman that had grown up and been brought up in the same area, you could turn around to him and say, you're going to enforce what law?
And he'd be like, oh, sorry. You know, yeah. It's just what I've been told and and and stuff. You know, if everything was organized outside your front door as a local community, these people would have no truck with us at all. You know, I've I've said so many times, if we'd have taken down the the there's two transmitters in Cornwall for the for the radio and TV. If they'd have been blown up, and I'm not suggesting that should have happened, of course, but should they have been blown up? COVID would not have hit Cornwall at all.
[02:49:49] Unknown:
We were talking about that last show about jamming and how, bit shoot was jammed by the British government to where you can't even access it now except through a VPN.
[02:50:00] Unknown:
And so Even the jamming is the same with it's the same with Gab and these other things. And I think, you know, I've said here recently that localism is the response to globalism, and it is. And the parish is is the way forward. And I keep walking past a really great parish hall here recently, and I'm getting to know the father there that runs the church, and he's a good guy. And all of these things, any considerations I may have about any groups are out the window. I'm just looking for personally, I'm looking for good human beings. There's many of them about. We we've grown up in an environment where there has been structure and people will, for some time yet, because we've been ingrained with it, look to a kind of place where there's some sort of leadership.
Whatever you may want to think about that. The fact is that people have got different qualities and skills. Getting organized, of course, could be an absolute bonfire and becomes so exhausting people give up. It's very interesting how small groups grow. They're very exciting to start off with. They flourish. People get to know one another. This is even better. Then they get to know them a bit too much, and suddenly everybody's having a dispute, and it all falls apart. I've seen this thousands of times. It's probably human nature, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And coming back to that point you mentioned, Maleficus, about them kicking your door in, I want to play a clip here, which I played before a few weeks ago. It's from Wolf Hall. It's Thomas Cromwell confronting the husband of Anne Boleyn before she's jumped ship and gone to see Henry the eighth, and it's to do with this controlling power. This is, I think, in essence, a key part of it. Listen to this.
Oh, you're wasting your time. I always pledged to Anne. She allowed me such freedom with herself as only a betrothed woman would allow. Cardinal bullied me out of saying anything last time. I'm not afraid to speak the truth now.
[02:51:49] Unknown:
Good. My lord, you said what you have to say. Now listen to me. You're a man whose money is almost spent. I'm a man who knows how you've spent it. You're a man who's borrowed all over Europe. I'm a man who knows your creditors. One word from me, and all your debts will be called in. And what are they gonna do? Bankers don't have armies. Neither will you without any money. Now, lord, you hold your earldom from the king. Your task is to secure the North to defend us against Scotland. If you cannot insure these things, the king will take your land and your titles and give them to somebody who will do the job you cannot do. No. He won't. He respects all ancient titles.
How can I explain this to you? The world is not run from where you think it is, from border fortresses, even from Whitehall. The world is run from Antwerp, from Florence, from Lisbon, from wherever the merchant ships set sail off into the West, not from castle walls, from counting houses, from the pens that scrape out your promissory notes. So believe me when I say that my banker friends and I will rip your life apart. And then when you are without money and title yes. I can picture you. Living in a hovel, wearing homespun, bringing home a rabbit for the pot, your lawful wife Anne Boleyn skinning and jointing that rabbit.
Yes. I wish you all happiness. You were never precontracted. Any understanding you think you have, you didn't have it. And if you think lady Anne loves you, well, you couldn't be more mistaken. But I've just come from her. She hates you. She despises you. She wants you gone. So if you say one more word about Lady Anne's freedom with you, I will come and drag you out of whatever hole you're cowering in, and the Duke of Norfolk will bite your bollocks off. I do hope that's clear, my lord.
[02:54:19] Unknown:
Quite clear. Quite clear. Imagine that that duke is, the prime minister of Britain or the president or anything in high power. It's if you just switch it around, you get the same parallels. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same thing. Very much so. Look. I mean It's the same thing. I'm gonna do this. No. You're not. Because your country owes money here. This is like that thing I was I've mentioned about what happened in, in Vienna in in the early nineteen thirties when they came up with a monetary system that transformed the local cantons all throughout Austria.
Amazing.
[02:54:55] Unknown:
Appreciating money.
[02:54:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Expanding. It's a technical thing, but it it represented a major threat to banking concerns. So they just had a word with the government, probably not dissimilar to the one that you've just heard. And if they had the Duke of Norfolk, you would obviously pay attention. You don't want to have your bollocks bitten off. And, maybe they've maybe the Duke of Norfolk's still around doing this job for the central bankers. I don't know. And they just told me, they said if you carry on with this, we will destroy your entire nation's economy by crashing the Austrian shilling and all the world exchanges because we can do that.
[02:55:28] Unknown:
It reminds me of a story that I read a few weeks ago about one of the early martyrs of the church where, he was ordered one of the saints, the martyr saints, was ordered by the emperor to this was must have been in the March. I think it was Maximilian to, he was ordered to hand over the church's treasures. And instead of giving him what he thought he brought all of the poor people to him and said and the emperor was wondering what was going on and he said here are the treasures of the church these are the poor people this is the true treasure And that's the way we've got to look at it, because that's what we've got. We've got poor people, and they need to be looked after. That's the bottom line. And if you're not looking after the poor people, you're not, you're not worth any any promissory note or any banker's gold out there because Yeah. It's worthless. It's rubbish.
[02:56:31] Unknown:
Absolutely. I mean, I've got another quote for you. I've got a couple of quotes actually for you here. One is from Disraeli, the first, apparently Jewish prime minister of,
[02:56:42] Unknown:
The UK. We got just under three minutes, Maleficus, before we get the actual No. I'm just letting you know. Yeah. That's okay.
[02:56:50] Unknown:
Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government being themselves controlled by the hidden hand. And I've got another quote here from our good friend, Andy Hitchcock. The Rothschilds love wars because they are massive generators of risk free debt. Because the debts are guaranteed by the government of a country and therefore, the efforts of the population of that country. And furthermore, it doesn't matter which country loses the war because the loans are given on the guarantee that the victor will honour the debts of the vanquished.
[02:57:31] Unknown:
That's how it works. So we don't have a British military at the moment and we wouldn't be allowed to build one, I suspect, because we don't run our own bank. And if you were to run that bank, the overwhelming coordinated power of all the other banks would be used by these forces that because you they'll most of the people will submit to the threat and then you're in trouble. I mean, it could we could even I don't know if books have been written about this, I suspect somehow, but if you look at Germany and its economic rise to power in the thirties, which is a key part of all of this Yeah. No doubt those threats started to pile up almost immediately. I can't imagine it was all plain sailing. They they piled up instantly.
[02:58:11] Unknown:
They piled up instantly. Judaic declares war on Germany.
[02:58:15] Unknown:
Yep. Although, there's the interesting observation that Dennis Wise made when she found something out about a year ago that I remember I I must have mentioned that, Jewish finance houses in New York were investing heavily in Germany in the early thirties even after that declaration, purely because the returns were so good. The and Morgenthau was absolutely furious about this.
[02:58:39] Unknown:
Well, let's let's not let's not forget that the the the the two richest bankers in Berlin, were want Lord, not Lord, Chief Justice Jackson wanted to hold them to trial at the Nuremberg trials for financing the, National Socialist regime, and they were let off. They were not allowed to stand trial.
[02:59:04] Unknown:
I know. Hjalmar Schacht was completely let go, much to the chagrin of the Americans at the the time, but I think Montague Norman or his emissary had his nose in around the Nuremberg trial, something like that. We're at the end of the show here, everybody. We're here at the end of the show. We're just about to go to the outro music. I'll just turn it down a bit. You've been listening to Paul English live. Just remember the name of the show. That's useful, isn't it? We've had some fun, on Rumble tonight, which is great. You've been joined by Paul, of Global Voice. Thank you, Paul. Patrick out there in Cheese Country. Malefic has joined us from Cornwall. Of course, Eric von Essex has been with us. Eric's got a show coming up this Sunday on Rumble, if Rumble will allow him to do that. We'll keep on making some adjustments.
I've been running a test stream on Soapbox TV today, and we're gonna need a bigger server if we're gonna, deal with this. But thank you very much for joining us for the past few hours. We'll be back again same time next week. Keep good. We'll see you all then.
